A British owned tabloid posing as an Irish paper reporting on American news. There aren't many worse sources.
A shame on the memory and legacy of Michael Collins and James Connolly.
Let's use this to our advantage.
🇺🇸WALL STREET IS ANTI MAGA! BAN CAPITAL MARKETS! THE DOW JONES IS A WOKE LEFTIST PLOT TO TURN YOUR KIDS GAY OR SOMETHING! FAILING TO BEAT UP AND DEPORT EVERY CAPITAL TRADER AND LARGE INVESTOR ON WALL STREET IS TRUMP DERANGMENT SYNDROME!🇺🇸
Ahh the age of golden shower America. Isn't it gargle
Trump is reliving the glorious P tape days.
Sorry not related, but why do all conservative American news women have this over done make up and fake looking hair? It really moves them into creepy territory. Like sort of evil clown creepy.
This is actually a very big thing in conservative areas. It's like they all want to be that princess that they were told they were at 3 years old.
They are trained at an early age to dress up at beauty pageants. Where guys like trump "grab em by the pussy"
MAGA style
Many conservative American women strive to look like this, not just the news anchors. Among the women in orbit around Trump there are several with this same look. It's all very artificial, with lots of makeup and plastic surgery, but apparently it's an ideal in Republican circles.
Barbie-wannaby, including the plastic
The other day we were watching a clip of that Goldigging Whore Press Secretary walking up to deliver an outdoor press conference, and she had two blonde clones trailing behind her. We all commented on how weird it was.
thats her replacement, incase trump wants to oust her.
I think television in general put way too much makeup on women but maybe that's just what I think.
The explanation is simple - they're literally Nazis, and they like the Aryan archetype.
Some have suggested it's because of puritanical upbringing. Girls learn how to do their makeup and the like by experimenting etc, but many puritanical families may act like a teen doing so is "dressing like a whore" or something. So they grow up it having the experience,and don't know what to do so just imitate what they think they should look like instead of finding the look that looks good on them.
It is what their owner men want.
TV executives like Roger Ailes setting a standard conservative news anchorwoman aesthetic to draw in their target audience who goes for that classic American blonde. No ethnic minorities need apply. Pant suits discouraged: gotta put those gams behind transparent counters to work for the leg cam.
I heard he used to watch fox news on mute because he cared more about how it looked than what they said.
Reminds me of how his administration stopped reporting on COVID testing. Obviously if you suck at something, you should just not tell anyone, even if it affects the entire American constituency in a massively dangerous way.
Fox 'news'*: anything I disagree with is terrorism, trump isn't a bigoted idiot tanking the economy, there's no class war, we're just entertainment not news 🤡
As an old fart I've never lived under an administration that I considered a real threat. Even Reagan, who was raged against by the left and beloved by the right, at least had some restraint and considered his actions. Each president did something that I didn't like but I never felt like psychopaths had taken over and were just letting their whims and manias run rampant. Their personalities also felt reasonable and at the very least respectful of others. I also never felt that a large chunk of my fellow citizens were a threat to democracy. The evangelicals were always that way but felt like a fringe group before.
Reagan's just took time to poison the system. Everything we're seeing now is from that time period, built up.
Somehow this is the most dystopian thing I've witnessed recently. Just straight up disappearing reality once it doesn't fit the regime's narrative. Chilling.
War is peace. Truth is lies.
Gave a book club with elderly. Chose 1984 for January.
A woman literally said after we had discussed this that the salute wasn't the salute.
The Jewish woman next to hers fingernails were about to grip through her own wrist.
Shocking to see the dissonance in real time like this and then.
I feel like the original quote applies here pretty well, no real need to change it…
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Citing fox "news" as trusted media source ought to disqualify you from voting. Prove me wrong.
I saw it but I cannot find it. But I recall Fox News admitting they're not news when pressured for disseminating fake news.
Multiple times, in multiple court cases. Tucker Carlson argued that no regular viewer would consider his content news or factual.
The fact that they get away with this is infuriating. They should have to put a Surgeon General warning label on the screen like tobacco product have on the package.

They used it as a defence in court. Multiple times. Something to the effect of "no reasonable person would believe they were being truthful/ serious."
Edit: apparently this defence was only used for shows like O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson, not the whole channel. Personally I don't think the average FN viewer would be able to discern the distinction, but who knows.
it seems to me like the people should have no problem coordinating an attack on fox news that would take them off the air. i feel like that's an easy one to do that doesn't require a leader, just anonymously post maps detailing the infrastructure of their studios, where security guards are posted, any known passkeys, etc.
If this hypothetical were to come to pass I personally wouldn't call it an attack, so much as a day of love where nothing was done wrong.
America's North Korean propaganda network at it again.
Ostrich mode, activate!
Trust in the Trump! His Orange Grace, for He is playing 47-D chess!
That wouldn’t stop the market crashing.
Well, if you don't look at the problem, it goes away. It's not rocket surgery!
If a stock falls in the market when there's no ticker watching, does it go red?
As in...you need to be blonde to not be carried away to a gulag in Guantanamo.
Man this sounds familiar. Need blonde hair and blue eyes?
