I just don't understand what the middle is they see between Trump and those who aren't crazy.

Donald Trump is completely unfit to be President as we already learned. Not one journalist is underlining that reality. They also aren't telling me what people who aren't nuts would vote for Trump.

That explains the CNN placeholders like Abby Phillip going fully aggressive with their anti-Biden rhetoric. It's like they're demanding that people listen to them.

You guys are just having a fit hoping to topple Biden. Won't it be fun at your next open-bar night to be full of yourselves having helped destroy the US?

I honestly prefer the inverted pyramid style of news writing. It's quicker to get the info you need. Too many people are writing a novel instead. "As the wind swept a solitary discarded napkin across the tarmac, a shaft of sunlight broke through the clouds as the President blah-blah-blah."

It's unfortunate that the self-serving camera hog Nigel Farage will be in the House of Commons.

If there's anything I cannot stand it's Android games that are simply not ones I buy outright and then play. I don't give a damn about their monetization model and in-app purchases. I just want to play a game on the bus ride to and from work. It's not too much to ask.

Because the audience doesn't want to learn anything. They don't want news. They want validation for what they already believe. The right is also full of people who are consumers of info. The left tends to be people who want to be involved in the conversation rather than just sit there.

The legal theories of people surrounding Trump are created out of thin air to mollify an arrogant man who thinks he's a genius.

I would also say that getting a job in media has a lesser path of resistance on the right than the middle or left. That might be from the number of jobs, but it's also a certain elitism as well. The left or middle (like NPR) tend to lean towards Ivy League or adjacent for even entry level.

Running my AC tonight so that every selfish imbecile shooting off fireworks in my neighborhood doesn't disturb us or my kitty cat. Pip does really well tuning stuff out but these bastards with their nonsense get a little too close to our co-op complex because there's a park across the street.

Beltway journos will never see themselves as anything but above-it-all even though they are as inside as it gets. They choose sides even as they say "both-sides". They know what they're doing. They just think they'll not suffer any consequences. Lot of journos learned the hard way after 1933.

Although Greco-Roman has a big feel to it, I prefer Moderne - both Art Deco and Streamlined. Brutalist is an assault on the eyes. Like looking at a line drawing done by an emotionless person.

Maybe it doesn't show up in polls but I think there comes a point when people who aren't sycophants simply are more than tired of something. I mean, even Open Range had fans but it got canceled anyway.

People carry cameras and video cameras with them wherever they go. Why is it that there are less photos of UFOs hovering over farmhouses that there were when everything was blurry?

Because she and her husband, the President, were not their kind of people. That's why. Because it was a feeding frenzy of snide elitists sniffing down their nose at the Clintons. They hated them from day-one and never let up.
