Is the press ‘sanewashing’ Trump?

The press is ‘sanewashing’ Trump. It’s glaringly obvious. From the way they clean up his nonsensical ramblings into coherent statements to how they downplay his incompetence, the media is complicit in normalizing a man who is unfit for office. The New York Times took Trump’s jumbled response about child care and twisted it to make him seem like a serious candidate. They tiptoe around calling out his lies and failures, giving him a platform that he does not deserve.

Mainstream media outlets like NPR and CBS are guilty of treating Trump as just another politician, failing to hold him accountable for his reckless behavior and dangerous rhetoric.… Continue reading

Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where’s everyone who questioned Biden’s age and fitness?

As I sit here contemplating the current political climate in the United States, one question keeps nagging at me: where is the uproar about Trump’s age and mental decline that was so prevalent when it came to questioning Biden’s fitness for office? The stark double standard in how the media has covered these two candidates is not only infuriating but also indicative of a larger issue at play.

I vividly remember the debates leading up to the 2020 election, where Biden stumbled over his words and was immediately attacked for his cognitive abilities. There were relentless criticisms about his age and fitness for office, with many suggesting he was not up to the task of leading the country.… Continue reading

Big Lots, the once beloved retailer known for its quirky selection and discount prices, has recently filed for bankruptcy. As someone who used to frequent their stores in search of odd treasures at unbeatable prices, the news of their financial struggles comes as a disappointment but not necessarily a surprise. Over the years, the Big Lots shopping experience has undergone a significant transformation that has left many customers like myself feeling alienated and uninspired.

Gone are the days of stumbling upon hidden gems and one-of-a-kind finds at Big Lots. Instead, what used to be a haven for bargain hunters has now become just another generic store peddling overpriced goods that fail to capture the attention of savvy shoppers.… Continue reading

Harris trolls Trump by posting most of debate as ‘new ad’

As I sit here reflecting on last night’s debate, I am left in awe of Kamala Harris’ masterful performance. The way she took on Trump, his lies, and his absurd statements was nothing short of inspiring. It was like watching a seasoned warrior go up against a bumbling fool. Harris truly embodied the future, while Trump appeared old, tired, and small in comparison.

The way Harris trolled Trump by posting most of the debate as a ‘new ad’ was both genius and hilarious. The fact that over 57.5 million Americans saw the ad unfold in real-time speaks volumes about the impact it had.… Continue reading

Harris is bringing two former Trump administration officials as her debate guests

Kamala Harris is certainly making a statement by bringing two former Trump administration officials, Anthony Scaramucci and Olivia Troye, as her debate guests. The decision to showcase these individuals, who have turned against the former president, speaks volumes about the message Harris is looking to convey. It’s an intriguing strategy that aims to highlight the severity of a potential second Trump presidency, portraying it as a dangerous and extreme scenario.

The move to feature these former Trump allies as guests at the debate is not merely an attempt to troll the former president, as some may suggest. Instead, it serves as a powerful tool to expose the flaws and risks associated with another Trump administration.… Continue reading

Jack White sues Trump over the use of The White Stripes’ ‘Seven Nation Army’: ‘This machine sues fascists’

Jack White, the legendary musician who co-founded The White Stripes with Meg White, has taken a bold stance against the unauthorized use of their iconic song “Seven Nation Army” by none other than Donald Trump. In a move that speaks volumes, Jack White has decided to sue Trump, his campaign, and a top campaign official for using their song without permission in a promotional video posted on social media platforms. This legal action is not just about safeguarding copyright; it symbolizes a musician’s firm stand against the misuse of their art for political propaganda.

As I delve into the details of this lawsuit, I can’t help but resonate with the power of music as a form of expression and resistance.… Continue reading

Harris: Trump Still Processing Being ‘Fired by 81 Million People’

As I watched the recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, one thing became abundantly clear – Harris truly knows how to get under Trump’s skin. The way she directly confronted him, not shying away from looking him in the eye and delivering cutting remarks, showcased a level of confidence and preparedness that was unmatched. It was evident that Trump was flustered, unable to come up with coherent responses and resorting to baseless claims and deflections.

One of the standout moments for me was when Harris highlighted the fact that Trump had been “fired by 81 million people”. This line hit home, striking a nerve with Trump and showcasing the magnitude of the defeat he faced in the last election.… Continue reading

Trump could suffer the same fate as Biden in tonight’s debate — how will his party react? 

Trump could suffer the same fate as Biden in tonight’s debate, but the reaction from his party is likely to be vastly different. As we’ve seen time and time again, Trump’s base is fiercely loyal, almost to the point of being cult-like. No matter what he says or does, they will find a way to spin it positively. The denial, projection, and gaslighting will be at an all-time high if Trump slips up during the debate.

The idea of Trump stepping aside and handing over the reins to his supposed brilliant sidekick, Vance, seems like a far-fetched dream. The reality is that Trump is the face of the Republican Party, and they have no intention of abandoning him.… Continue reading

Michigan judge loses docket after she’s recorded insulting gay people and Black people

The recent news of Michigan judge Kathleen Ryan losing her docket after being recorded insulting gay people and Black people is a stark reminder of the systemic issues deeply ingrained in our society. The vulgar recordings of her using offensive language against those she deems inferior is not an isolated incident, as it seems to be a part of a disturbing pattern of behavior. Ryan’s previous domestic violence charge further showcases her inappropriate and aggressive conduct, which should not be tolerated in any professional setting, let alone the judiciary.

It is alarming to see someone in a position of power, who is supposed to uphold justice and equality, expressing such discriminatory views.… Continue reading
