Absent courage

Author: It’s not really baffling that the only republican candidates calling Trump out on his lowest common denominator obsequiousness to the knuckle dragging mouth breathers are the ones at the back of the pack looking for anything to gain traction.
What’s disturbing is that the media keeps serving at the pleasure of this malignant narcissist scion. They just broadcast his vicious brand of fear porn without reservation.
Nevermind the worthless American citizens who lap his shit up. Where the fuck is the responsibility or accountability of our journalists? They sit with composure and deference while this anti-articulate dickhead vomits hate and vitriol all over our airwaves.
So far the the only “journalist” to even approach a come to Jesus moment with Trump is Bill O’Reilly.
Fuck me.
It’s malpractice. They should all be sued. I am disgusted. Bigoted liars like Trump used to fear or at least respect the media, now somehow the media fears Trump. Because they are cowards and he is a bully. Chuck Todd actually said he was afraid to call Trump on his shit because he wouldn’t come on his show anymore. So fucking what? Skewer him for being afraid. That puts asses in the seats at least as much as allowing the blowhard to pollute your bandwidth. Zero integrity. Zero respect for what used to be an esteemed institution. What if Trump was actually afraid to show up because he knew he was going to be held to one goddamn standard or another? Isn’t that the way it used to be?
Remember David Duke?
He flamed out because he was a piece of shit and the media weren’t such pussies.
The same actually goes for the rest of the champion liars posing as candidates. Like Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz. These two are vaudeville mendacious and debate moderators aren’t just complicit, they are participants for not shaming them on live television. It was embarrassing to watch. They got away with a metric ton of crap.
The same spineless talking heads that call every right wing, evangelical gun nut a radical or misunderstood or simply, the shooter. Instead of what they are. Terrorists. Because they are always white.
So much for the “liberal media”.
And here’s the thing about Trump in particular, he’s barely spent a dime. Our media is his Super PAC. He is playing us like we’ve never been played before. It’s not just FOX aiding and abetting here boys and girls. It’s all of us.
Me too.

Cowardice.
All the way around.

This is right on. You know what it reminds me of? Gary’s speech from Team America. You’ve seen it, yes?

I am beyond sick of Trump & disheartened by the rabid ferocity of his supportes. Sick of the lame-stream media. They don’t have one testicle among them
I did take satisfaction in signing a petition, put out by Robert Reich, to curb the hate spewing from that hole in Tramp’s face.

well said, my friend..I totally agree!
Endemic of all this narcissistic the media feeds on panderin for ratings just as Taylor Swift is our largest superstar because technology eliminated the need for an essential ingredient, the ability to sing. America is one giant puff piece. The substance that at one time balanced Celebrity with social contribution now is fed by the fringe.
Wonderful comment – so true! And so sad that we have come to this state of social and political mediocrity.
You hit it, Mr. Douglass!
“Any truth is better than indefinite doubt.” (Arthur Conan Doyle)
Trump’s the ugly truth of the GOP. The grand liar is the most honest among them, saying what runners-up silently think. Their masks began slipping with Romney’s campaign rhetoric and his 47% remarks. Republican politicians didn’t need to pretend so much after Romney’s obvious lies fueled so many of his supporters. Hate and ignorance found their market. Republicans are increasingly dropping their masquerade of caring. Hate the poor, the disabled? “Damned right!” Seniors? “Fuck ’em – if they’re not rich, they’re a drain.” Brown people? “Not in MY goddamn country!” Women? “Stay at home with your mouths shut and your panties down.”
If it’s Kochish, if it’s orally servicing the very wealthy, then it’s their shared belief. America is the land of the Corporation, home of the uneducated poor white trash who’ll fight each other for crumbs and keep reproducing to fill their labor pool. The NRA + crazy cHristian conservative combo may have separate goals, but they serve the wealthy as one by keeping the population in check and in fear. When people get education, they start thinking too much. Kochs don’t want thinkers, they want workers. Workers who’ll be grateful just to have a job and not ask questions.
Republican candidates are whores for the wealthiest Americans. They sold their decency and humanity to become recruiters of the pathetic, selling the least of us their ‘religiously-held’ values of misogyny, mistrust and racism. The media are whores for Republicans because they generate ad income, and Republican clowns sell the hell out of it.
It’s increasingly difficult to reason with their misguided cult, but there’s still time to fight for education, for clean air and water, and dignity for everyone. Maybe if the red, white and blue can be brought to see who’s actually behind Republican ‘values’, the men who are pulling the strings… With nearly a year left before the elections, Republicans are bound to keep exposing their hate and isolating any reasonable Republicans remaining. I won’t give up on some coming to their senses by next November.
But it’s sure a struggle to appreciate Anne Frank’s outlook about people these days.
I have the same question about Huckabee and Fiorina and why in the freak they haven’t been called out for the liars they are in the wake of the Colorado Planned Parenthood Terrorist Attack? Them and all of their GOP conservadumb freaking cohorts… But who does CNN interview in the wake of this freaking tragedy? FREAKING HUCKABEE. Who proceeds to proclaim that the “REAL” victims are the so-called “pro-lifers”. F*CK. Yeah. “Liberal Media” my @ss.
I agree I am so tired of hearing him I have resorted to letting people know that if they do not share anything with his name in it, or type his damn name anywhere on social media his damn trending numbers will drop.. Which will make him slowly disappear. If he is not trending they have no reason to put his ass on television. So let us stop posting about him. Use some other word for him. I use thump..or hump.. bump.. anything but his damn name. They have programs that hunt for keywords and such to see if folks are talking about something or someone.
Does ‘Chump’ work for you?
The media is completely fucking us. They have been for a long time. I believe that the whole dog and pony show of Trump is meant to scare us into accepting $hillary, first as the nominee, and then as the POTUS.They are attempting to manufacture consent in advance of another stolen election.
Since they know she won’t get elected on likability, they want to scare the fuck out of us by looming the evil Don over our heads… All the while every fucking one of them simply accepts, without a note of dissent, the mantra, Hillary is inevitable…repeat after me, Hillary is inevitable, Bernie can’t win.Repeat. Its astounding how so many know nothing morons just walk around repeating these words after hearing it on CNN.
WTF? The entire democratic process is being undermined by the DNC and a bunch of corporate overlords and billionaire donors, yet nowhere within the fifth estate is there anything but blanket acceptance of a rigged system.
They see the ground swelling and the guiltiness being oiled up. they are doing everything they can to demoralize Bernie’s political revolution, but our numbers increase everyday, and the bottom line is that Trump beats Hillary in the General, but Bernie is going to cream them both. Fuck the media, we be the media! #BernieOrBust
Good article – I can’t believe that the media just keeps on giving him free airtime. Somebody needs to call him out very publicly on his bullshit. We really don’t need this fucking troll spewing his hate all over everything.
Not to mention that he would be scary as hell with his hand on the button.
Wow, this last comment is a pisser! I agree, if we dont stand up for bernie we will get what we deserve, ms hillbill! Heaven help us we have a revolution on our hands..lets march!
