T 2.0

You know that Murdoch owns the WSJ, right? You know, the guy who just went to court in NV to change the family trust to make sure the political bent of his empire would remain the way he wants it even after he is dead! He has a worldwide media empire, all of whom march to the beat of his drum specifically and without exception.

Do you still stand with Ukraine? Crooked Joe just sent $1,250,000,000 as our fellow Americans are drugged and waste away in our Dem run cities.

espola switched sides (so he says) to vote for Crooked Joe, that has shit for a brain (see pic). espola voted for this guy and brags on here about it. Husker Du and whatithink voted for Kamala and now are wondering about the media. They took all the jabs, boosters, flu shots, soon the bird jab and they still wear a mask out of fear. Beta Males😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What trips me out is that so many of you were fooled by these liars. You fools believed these three little beta bitches, a sick perverted man and Liz. Some of you mocked and made fun of J6ers and called these Vets traitors and insurrectionist. Nope, they are not traitors. You took the jabs and said, "anyone but Trump" and now your mind and brain are poisoned for the rest of your life.

I would just point out that viewership is just the tip of the iceberg. They have a large online presence, including social media. Plus when you add up CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and compare it to Fox the left leaning media dominates. Like I said, the legacy media influence took a huge hit this election because it was clear that they were lying about both Biden and Kamala.

Thankfully we still have legitimate news sources with real journalists like the WSJ.
Your denial and partisan blinders are glaringly obvious. Fox never lied about anything, right? Never pushed a false narrative? And never had to pay millions in fines . . .
 

My wife is bisexual and nonbinary, and my daughter is transgender. My queer family helped me better understand myself and my masculinity. How it all started for Noah....​


First, my daughter came out as transgender.
Secondly, my bisexual wife came out as nonbinary.
As the only nonqueer person in the family, I often feel left out by their shared experience.
But my queer family has taught me a lot about myself and how masculinity can be less restrictive.

The New York Police Department has dismissed multiple officers following allegations that former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey traded overtime shifts for sexual favors. What else is a new in the world of politics and sport. I still remember a Doc in youth soccer trading sex with mom for play time on the pitch for her dd. Some paid cold hard cash for that prize as well.

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

WSJ is widely respected. When was the last time WSJ had to retract or correct a major story? Compare that to NYT that often has to do so. So legacy media isn't biased, but WSJ is. Again consistency isn't your strong suit.

Have you read the WSJ story about Biden's cognitive decline? It is very well sourced.

Fox fabricates and exaggerates all the time, when its not just generally biased. I've never claimed they didn't, although its less pervasive since Tucker was fired 🤣. That's the difference between you and I, you're a hyper-partisan whose shit always smells like roses whereas I'm willing to concede when the other side is wrong.

Can’t find it, how about a link?

Fox lied about the 2020 election on 11.3. They own stock with Dominion, so they paid themselves in fines. Fox is a joke and so is all Legacy Media Dumb. I did hear that Sean and Ainsley got engaged. You seem to come close to the truth but then your TDS kicks in. The Legacy Media Group got paid millions to push the mandates, lockdowns, mask, 6 feet away, wash hands and take all the jabs or else. You took all the jabs and some extra, right? Add the binge drinking and you got problems. I see the jabs have taken your mind and you can't think straight. I hope you can see the light someday Husker Du.

Vivek is right when he says that "...A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers..."

tRump is backing Musk and Vivek on the H1B issue - at least for the moment.

Seems like a Revenge of the Nerds/beta males moment for Vivek and Elon.
 
I tried Google, how far back did you post it?
Well shit it was only a couple days ago and I did a quick look and couldn't find it either. But its hard to find anything amongst Crush's endless posts. So here you go, even though you will find some reason to deny it. Reality is a bitch.

How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge

Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.

By Annie Linskey, Rebecca Ballhaus, Emily Glazer and Siobhan Hughes Dec. 19, 2024 5:00 am ET

During the 2020 presidential primary, Jill Biden campaigned so extensively across Iowa that she held events in more counties than her husband—a fact her press secretary at the time, Michael LaRosa, touted to a local reporter.

His superior in the Biden campaign quickly chided him. As the three rode in a minivan through the state’s cornfields, Anthony Bernal, then a deputy campaign manager and chief of staff to Jill Biden, pressed LaRosa to contact the reporter again and play down any comparison in campaign appearances between Joe Biden, then 77, and his wife, who is eight years his junior. Her energetic schedule only highlighted her husband’s more plodding pace, LaRosa recalls being told.

The message from Biden’s team was clear. “The more you talk her up, the more you make him look bad,” LaRosa said.

The small correction foreshadowed how Biden’s closest aides and advisers would manage the limitations of the oldest president in U.S. history during his four years in office.

To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.

Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.

Press aides who compiled packages of news clips for Biden were told by senior staff to exclude negative stories about the president. The president wasn’t talking to his own pollsters as surveys showed him trailing in the 2024 race.

Presidents always have gatekeepers. But in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. There were limits over who Biden spoke with, limits on what they said to him and limits around the sources of information he consumed.

Throughout his presidency, a small group of aides stuck close to Biden to assist him, especially when traveling or speaking to the public. “They body him to such a high degree,” a person who witnessed it said, adding that the “hand holding” is unlike anything other recent presidents have had.

The White House operated this way even as the president and his aides pressed forward with his re-election bid—which unraveled spectacularly after his halting performance in a June debate with Donald Trump made his mental acuity an insurmountable issue. Vice President Kamala Harris replaced him on the Democratic ticket and was decisively defeated by Trump in a shortened campaign—leaving Democrats to debate whether their chances were undercut by Biden’s refusal to yield earlier.

This account of how the White House functioned with an aging leader at the top of its organizational chart is based on interviews with nearly 50 people, including those who participated in or had direct knowledge of the operations.

Many of those who criticized Biden’s insularity said his system nonetheless kept his agenda on track.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Biden “earned the most accomplished record of any modern commander in chief and rebuilt the middle class because of his attention to policy details that impact millions of lives.” Bates, who rejected the notion that Biden has declined, added that the president has often solicited opinions from outside experts, which has informed his policymaking.

He said it is the job of senior White House staff to have high-level meetings regularly and that they were executing Biden’s agenda at his direction.

He also said that staff alerted the president to “significant” negative news stories. Bernal, via the White House press office, declined to comment.

‘Good days and bad days’

Continued on next post.
 
The president’s slide has been hard to overlook. While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person. Biden’s team tapped campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Hollywood mogul, to find a voice coach to improve the president’s fading warble.

Biden, now 82, has long operated with a tightknit inner circle of advisers. The protective culture inside the White House was intensified because Biden started his presidency at the height of the Covid pandemic. His staff took great care to prevent him from catching the virus by limiting in-person interactions with him. But the shell constructed for the pandemic was never fully taken down, and his advanced age hardened it.

The structure was also designed to prevent Biden, an undisciplined public speaker throughout his half-century political career, from making gaffes or missteps that could damage his image, create political headaches or upset the world order.

The system put Biden at an unusual remove from cabinet secretaries, the chairs of congressional committees and other high-ranking officials. It also insulated him from the scrutiny of the American public.

The strategies to protect Biden largely worked—until June 27, when Biden stood on an Atlanta debate stage with Trump, searching for words and unable to complete his thoughts on live television. Much of the Democratic establishment had accepted the White House line that Biden was able to take the fight to Trump, even in the face of direct evidence to the contrary.

Biden, staffed with advisers since he became a senator at age 30, came to the White House with a small team of fiercely loyal, long-serving aides who knew him and Washington so well that they could be particularly effective proxies. They didn’t tolerate criticism of Biden’s performance or broader dissent within the Democratic Party, especially when it came to the president’s decision to run for a second term.

Yet a sign that the bruising presidential schedule needed to be adjusted for Biden’s advanced age had arisen early on—in just the first few months of his term. Administration officials noticed that the president became tired if meetings went long and would make mistakes.

They issued a directive to some powerful lawmakers and allies seeking one-on-one time: The exchanges should be short and focused, according to people who received the message directly from White House aides.

Ideally, the meetings would start later in the day, since Biden has never been at his best first thing in the morning, some of the people said. His staff made these adjustments to limit potential missteps by Biden, the people said. The president, known for long and rambling sessions, at times pushed in the opposite direction, wanting or just taking more time.

The White House denied that his schedule has been altered due to his age.

Continued again.
