Although traditional media like you cite often “sane wash” it as well. In The Prospect today, one of the writers reflected that if Trump were to unhinge his jaw and swallow a puppy whole in front of a press conference, the Times headline would be something like “In DC Today, Trump Makes an Unusual Meal Choice”.
The traditional media also downplays events on the other side, a recent example is last Sunday’s New York Times. Seven million Americans conducted a peaceful protest the day before, the largest in American history, yet the NYT didn’t even have a story on the front page—all they had was a one sentence mention below the fold and a reference to a story buried in the back of the paper. The top story that day was something about Syria.
They did the exact same thing on June 15th, the day after the first No Kings protest.
New version of Hail to the Chief:
Jail to the Thief Idiots have chosen for the Nation!
Jail to the Thief we despise you one and all!
Jail to the Thief as we pledge incarceration!
Jail to the President, Jail to the Thief!
There’s that PATTERN again …
OK this is just too hilarious of a photo. Like what kind of timeline is this, anyway.
Spoiler:
Summary
Some random captain of industry was on his feet too long and fainted during a signing ceremony for some bill or other today. There’s just something so … evocative about this photo, so absurd, so … weird. It just made me laugh.
Is that Miller on the right moving in to suck the victim’s blood?
At first I thought so but I don’t think so. That’s Dr Oz to his right looking up at him though, so the guy will be okay, lol.
Best caption I saw on social media for this today, regarding Trump’s indifferent-to-mildly-pissed affect here:
“Your cat when you’re choking to death in your apartment.”
Here’s another angle. Looks like Bobby Brainworm is making a quick escape (probably to get the A1 steak sauce).
Yeah, the greed of Musk is indeed disgusting, especially when contrasted with the other news headline. However, I’d just like to make it clear that not all Tesla stock owners voted for the package. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, with a 1.14% share, voted no. As expected.
I saw him on the video … his body language was definitely “I’m outta here”. Exit stage left.
