Yamiche Alcindor Deliberately Clips Trump Tweet to Make It Sound Racist;
Little-Watched, Less-Trusted Jake Tapper Immediately Retweets, Without Fact-Checking

Jake Tapper's "conservative" homoerotic fan club continues to be too in awe of their hero to take him to task or even mention his penchant for "errors."

Trump had said:


"They're [the rioters] going to destroy suburbia. And 30 percent of the people in suburbia are minorities. They say 35 percent, but I like to cut it lower. You know why? That way I can never get myself in too much trouble with the fake news."

In other words: The media always attacks me (usually falsely) for overstating black employment rates and wage increases, so now I cut the numbers a bit so they can't attack me this way.

And how did PBS "journalist" and Grievance Officer Yamice Alcindor relay it?

She clipped the quote to make it sound like Trump intended to drive minorities out of the suburbs. And in case you missed that suggestion, she set the quote up with the ominous preface, "A moment to behold."

Without fact-checking, Very Online Twitter Addict and Internet-Medited Dopamine Junkie Jake Tapper retweeted this fake news out to hundreds of thousands of people.

I gave up on those bastards back in the 70's. KQED (bay area trash outlet) used to do beg-a-thons and show Monty Python. They'd swear all up and down they'd show MP every Saturday night. Yet right afterwards, they'd show the same 3 for a month and a half, move it to some other time slot, move it again (while still showing the same 3) to 1am, and then it would just go away. 6 months later, they'd do it all over again.

Back when there were 4 channels, it made sense. But since the 60's we've had cable TV come (and go), then satellite, now internet streaming. There's no lack of alternate material. And, the whole "no commercial" thing (while already a laugh with all the beg-a-thons) went out the window in the 90's when they started showing... commercials.

PBS back in the day could claim they were the only ones showing Nat Geo, now there's dozens of competitors, some without woke agenda.

Too many people I know here think that NPR is an unbiased news outlet because "not commercial". It's way past time to let them sink or swim in the free market. If they were smart the could survive. But, they're not, and they wouldn't.

In the letters, according to details from Simon & Schuster published on the book's Amazon page on Wednesday night, "Kim describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a 'fantasy film', as the two leaders engage in an extraordinary diplomatic minuet".

Rage, the sequel to Fear, is due out on 15 September, its cover showing Trump's face in extreme close-up.

The WH Press Association manages this.
Think that no one in the WH has ever felt the need to end it, just challenge their rules here and there.

Given how much Trump has already reduced the stature of the WHPA by essentially killing "nerd prom," I'd say go for it, end their reign.

Was in a discussion on FB with some wine mom (I know, first mistake) about the letter that some Leftist military types had written to the CJCS that said he should get ready to have a coup to get rid of Trump, and WM is all like, well, he said he wanted to be a Fascist dictator!

So I asked, umm, where did he say that?

The endgame is easy to figure out. Their plan is the destruction of the United States, the discrediting and erasure of her history, the annihilation of Judeo-Christian culture, the end of the Rule of Law, and finally, the erasure of all meaningful identity.

All will be replaced with one, an ant's role in the utopian collective society they imagine, unthinkingly plowing through life with a set role decided from on high.

Far better to die with your boots on than to be stripped of your very self and humanity.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 13, 2020 01:40 PM (G51Gf)


Easy! I use (I hate myself for buying this only P&G product) Cascade Fry Boil. It's basically the old dishwasher detergent made to clean out deep fryers. The one thing it lacks is a lemony scent.

You have to be careful to not use too much, a tablespoon is enough (remember back then?). I tell people not to get rid of their old dishwasher, but get this stuff. Sadly, the new dishwashers run for a week and a half and don't do squat (I have a feeling you noticed). This stuff will give you faith again. It's about $20/box, but it will last a long time.

https://tinyurl.com/y3ngx3ap

You can also add just a tiny bit to your existing detergent if you're the scent type - I'm definitely not.

Also, a product called Bubble Bandit is quite good. It's pricier, but it has a scent to it. I don't think it works quite as well as the Cascade, but I might try it again now that P&G is on the shit list.

Having disagreed with Ghost of Kari at election time when he said this exact problem was why GOPe voters would have an issue with Trump, I now acknowledge Kari nailed it. And I was wrong.

If ypu want to know the exact year, it's 1968. That was the year that the first school district in the US was taken over by an extreme leftist faction, and they changed the curriculum and the attitude to be anti-American and anti-white. It took several decades for the rest of the nation to follow, but that was the spark that started the fire. Little by little, one by one, other school districts followed the lead, and flipped from old-fashioned to post-Marxist. By now, the vast majority of school districts have flipped, and the "national curriculum" attempts had also been flipped.

Okay, so let's say that goes that way.

Let's give our state a name. Michigan.

This is all hypothetical at this point, so let's say that it is the last state to certify, and neither Trump nor Biden has 270 EVs.

Let's say exit polls and what has been released has Trump ahead but the state won't certify the slate because there is still litigation over the tens of thousands of mail in ballots that have yet to be counted for whatever reason.

The Michigan congressional delegation is 7 Dems, 6 Republicans, and 1 Libertarian.

Either it goes the way you said with the Cong. Delegation voting - or, if it is not resolved by Jan 6, the vote could go to the House for President and Senate for VP.
