    We need to pass legislation that enforces standards around the use of the word “news.” We could wipe out a number of media hacks just with that.

      Fox news was brought to court over fake news. They lost and had to pay 6 months of revenue. But their argument in court was not that they didn’t have fake news, but that they are an entertainment channel, not a news channel.

      I agree with the sentiment, but I always worry about the extreme 100 years from now

      I could definitely see a corrupt government using that legislation to eliminate any news agencies that speak against them

    These idiots are too stupid and brainwashed to even bother checking to see if there is an easily found rebuke to their bullshit.

    Complain about a tweet, it’s trivial to find three similar tweets made by Trump. Complain about using a straw, immediately find a photo of trump doing the exact same thing.

    There isn’t a single brain-cell reserved for wondering whether or not the bullshit they say will or will not immediately be found out to be pure hypocrisy.

    It’s almost impressive.

      The truth is that they know all this, they just don’t care.

      Politicians of the centre/left don’t tend to attack conservatives in this way, so the end result is a lot of noise about how bad one side is, regardless of whether their guy does it too. The noise is what they want, because it engenders uncertainty.

      All of this is just kinda funny though. They have fuck all of substance on Walz.

    Somebody whose standards are much lower than mine, or alternatively, whose bravery is much more higher than mine to still hold a Twitter account, should Tweet this at Walters, Fox, Trump and whatever other high profile MAGA idiots around

    Who the fuck doesn’t drink a milkshake with a straw?

    Are all these strawless non-gay heterosexual manly men walking around with milk mustaches like 5 year olds? Is this what women are into?

      No, these strawless, non-gay, heterosexual, manly men are just like me. They were handed a spoon, but not a straw in the drive through and they decided to just drive off rather than bother or inconvenience someone, even though it wouldn’t be a bother or inconvenience, it’s the person’s job, and they’d be happy to help. I am married though, so while I wouldn’t say my wife is specifically attracted to that brand of social awkwardness, she’s not entirely repulsed by it.

      I really prefer my milkshakes at the level of ‘the-straw-barely-closes-when-you-suck-so-you-gotta-use-a-spoon’ but not to the firmness of ice cream itself.

      So… me?

    “Fellas, is it gay to use a straw?”

    Fragile snowflake weirdos more obsessed with dicks than I am, and I’m gay as fuck.

    They know they are full of shit. The know they are lying.

    They are just evil cunts that spread hate and lies to manipulate people.

    I’ve said it before. There are only 2 types of right wingers. They are either stupid or evil. Sometimes both. But it’s always at least one of the 2.

      I know some intelligent Trumpets, and the mental gymnastics they make is a Simone Biles level event.

      Maybe that’s “evil” but they see themselves as “good” and doing the right thing.

      I think it’s a third category. “Brainwashed”, or something.

      True, but I know people who are other categories. They have mental and/or social issues. The big social issue is tribalism - some go along to get along to survive in their social and work environments.

        I know plenty of people with social issues that try to support others instead of being whiny conservatives and shit. Social issues are important to consider in how to address a lot of that stuff but the people themselves, at some point, need to take responsibility for acting out like they do.

    No, what it tells me is how little dirt you have to sling at Walz.

    Whereas Trump is a twice-impeached felon with dozens of convictions and a judge had to remind people in court that he raped the defamation litigant. He also insults disabled people and veterans and lies with every breath. Oh, and he also participated in a failed coup against the American People. Trump and Fox “News” should stop attacking their betters…
