Ahh yes, "Fake news", that term that was coined exclusively to refer to The Left talking up Trump's peepee party, and in no way refers to anything else that went on for months and months in the run up to an election, yes King Possum III posted:5 Also, who's the guy in the background here?

Maybe they're being more sensational, maybe they're pushing a political agenda in how they report, maybe they're getting downright sloppy. Maybe there are totally legitimate reasons to decry it. But I guarantee you, that is not what the term "Fake News" is referring to.

But I think he will turn to mostly draw Milo worship or whatever while his delusional mind somehow tries to make sense of how Trumps fight against Goldman-Sachs and the global banking elite is I don't even know how to complete this sentence

LOL imagine knowing the whole line https://youtu.be/_JNaymmtbq4 Although I don't see how 'the winter of our discontent' could mean 'the ending of our discontent' as that's exactly what happens in the next line. The cartoon looks to have the meaning right to me, it's a metaphor for a miserable period of time, not that time coming to an end.

Vib Rib posted:Man the tenacity with which Republicans immediately set to work to use that term to mean "any critical news" or (generously) "any news with a liberal editorial overtone" was loving astounding. They really want to deflect that one to the other side, bad. Deflecting to the other side has been their playbook for years. Remember swiftboating? And why would they stop doing it? It. loving. works. You don't change a winning strategy.

itskage posted:I'm still a few pages behind, but to respond before I'm caught up. I was listening to glenn beck on friday (because I hate myself). It wasn't him hosting but someone else, it was only a couple minutes between Dunkin and work so I don't know. Whoever was on was saying that what the dems are doing is the the exact same thing the republicans were doing a few months ago. That the republicans were wrong, they should have actually have had then hearing and then gone on record voted no if they didn't like Obama's pick, but they didn't have the balls to actually go on record saying they didn't like someone as it might come back to them politically later. And also that they were basically violating the constitution with these petty tactics. He then said he's happy about Trump's pick, and happy his side gets to pick, but that what the republicans were doing then and what the dems are doing now is pathetic. If he's on Glen Beck's program, he's probably sincere. I really used to viscerally hate Glen Beck himself, but the more I learn about him, the more I think he's just mentally ill and somewhat naive. I've read excerpts of him talking about his ideal America, and it's quite beautiful in a weird, Big Fish sort of way. He really opposed Trump even after the primaries and did a great segment with Samantha Bee after the election about his complicity and regret in allowing the situation in the U.S. to devolve as far as it has. If it' was someone in Glen Beck's camp hosting, it seems pretty likely that he was being genuine. Sadly, most Republicans don't have the (and I can't believe I'm typing this) integrity and self awareness of Glen Beck, and just end up wallowing in their hypocrisy. It's... it's beautiful.

The guy filling in for Glenn Beck that day was Doc Thompson, who I remember best as the guy who said that his life is just as hard as any minority's because he grew up in Cleveland, and then said "Racism is bad but you know white people suffer too!" And no, Glenn Beck does not have integrity or self awareness. Beck has been sucking Trump's dick hard and constantly praising him ever since he took office. Glenn Beck is a con man and the only reason he pretends like he opposed Trump in the first place is he has an obsession with trying to trick liberals into thinking he's sane and reasonable. He constantly says something that isn't so bad, like, "Gay marriage is completely fine," and then goes on his show and talks about the gay agenda and how "You'd think 90% of the population was gay based on what you see on TV!"

Taking a look at things he's posted since the election, I don't see any unqualified dick-sucking of Trump. He seems excited at some things Trump has done, such as his SCOTUS pick, but seems pretty willing to bitch about all the poo poo Trump does he disagrees with, too. He seems to stay pretty true to his principles, however terrible they may actually be. That said, I don't listen to his radio show (because gently caress talk radio), so that might be quite different.
