8. Bull Shit, respectfully.

Democrats have always faced head winds.

First of all let me say that Kamala Harris ran a spectacular campaign, she blew TSF out of the water campaigning.

Secondly, I only go to Nicolle Wallace, or Rachel Maddow for my news on cable TV. Why? The rest of the MSM talks about the narratives that the right wants them to talk about. In other words, the MSM hold Democrats to a much higher standard than they hold Donald Trump, the MSM gives TSF a pass.

Third, TSF shouldn't have been running for president, he should be fighting to stay out of jail. The fact that we had a milquetoast for an Attorney General who only acted against TSF when the J6 committee shamed him was horrific. The day that the FBI found boxes of classified documents in TSF's shitter in Mar-el-Loco TSF should have been arrested. Law enforcement and the Judiciary allowed TSF to commit crimes and not be held accountable.

Fourth, the MSM has been complicit in accepting horrific behavior both in actions and in deeds. The MSM has not called out bad behavior, it has covered it up. The moral and ethical standards in the United States has degraded to the point that a man who most likely raped at least two little girls at Jeffrey Epstein's mansion has become president of the United Staes. Yes there were witnesses to those rapes, one little girl was suing him until she got too many death threats.

Fifth - I don't see the situation improving with the MSM, it will get worse because TSF rules by fear and intimidation, people will be afraid to tell the truth if will upset TSF.

Sixth - Democrats need to elect leaders like Nancy Pelosi compared to Chuck Schumer, we need fighters. If a Democratic president can't get the votes to appoint someone then appoint him/her as acting whatever. That's the only qualms I have regarding Democrats, they need to get tougher, but I cannot blame them for this election, more big named Democrats than Kamala lost.

I truly believe that leaders at the top of everything bucolic_frolic Nov 2024 #1
