National news media choosing to cover Donald Trump’s firehose of lies live yesterday while refusing to cover Kamala Harris’s rally live was gross malpractice. Day after day after day, they are failing us. One can only conclude they want Trump back for the ratings.
There's an excellent segment from Lawrence O'Donnell on this very issue. Watch it here https://bit.ly/3LXer5v and then let's start demanding more - and more responsible -reporting from our national media!
They're also under the restraint of their corporate bosses who more than likely have threatened to terminate the reporters' employment if they don't toe the line.
trump actually did have a rally in Montana. Wasn’t there (of course) but I imagine it was kind of lame. trump’s joke of an airplane had mechanical issues, so it had to land in Billings, short of its intended city (Bozeman). trump then had to take a private jet the short distance between Billings and Bozeman. Some rich carpetbagger, new to Montana, with more money than scruples, probably loaned Trump the jet. Apologies from Montana.
The theme song from Titanic? Who was in charge of the music? I wonder if Celine Dion has any opinions about her song and image being used at his hate rallies? Yuck.
From Threads (which looks like got it from That Other Place):
“Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
When I read that about him attacking Haberman, after she kissed his ass for the last 9 years, it was such poetic justice. They all know he expects TOTAL LOYALTY and total DEVOTION, no matter what, but they ALL think they are so SPECIAL that he won't turn on them on a dime for the smallest thing he perceives as betrayal.
Haberman will have to go back to slipping in the words “Hillary” and “Clinton” in every piece she writes to get internet search hits. Like Nikki Haley, I suspect Maggie Haberman will find a way to suck up to Trump.
Singer Celine Dion issued a statement Saturday slamming Donald Trump’s campaign for the “unauthorized usage” of her music, adding that she does not endorse its use or any other similar use.
The Trump campaign has played Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” at multiple campaign rallies throughout 2023 and 2024, though Dion’s statement says she and her management team had only recently become aware of its use, specifically pointing to it being played at the former president’s rally in Bozeman, Montana, on Friday.

“In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. … And really, THAT song?”

O’Donnell was on fire!

Yay for the mayor of Mesa. Country over party: say the words out loud again, please.

I could have sworn I just read somewhere (sorry no link) that she wasn't happy.

Exactly!!
I was there last night-- the joy and hope were palpable; first time in a while I've felt that as a progressive Arizonan. Fingers crossed..!
I love your bullet point columns. I can grasp them quickly when I have little time to read on a particular day.
Keep up your hard hitting commentary and the bad words are fun to hear once in a while. It feels like we’re thumbing our noses at polite society!
Big news: Maggie Haberman got dumped by trump!
I posted right after Trhump’s press conference that Haberman lost her way by constantly kissing TFG(the fat guy’s) ass.
A lot of good her eating ass did her. Now he hates her and she can join the other countless victims who he stomped on after receiving their help.

Everyone can sleep when we’re dead or November 6 whichever comes first.
Love the cussing!!! Almost as good as the Brits. They have cussing totally nailed! Keep up the good work. 👊
Yeah, and they get to say the sea word freely!
And with other explicatives attached!

Can't she sue?
The crowd..😲😲!! Yessssssss....!!!!!
On note 4: Wisconsinite here voting no on both initiatives with joy!
I’m curious…I don’t have network TV (or live TV). Are they airing Harris rallies like they’ve aired Trump rallies?
It's the SECRET SAUCE...WE ADDED A FEMALE BOSS!
I am reminded often in these times of
“ The truth will set you free, but
first it will make you f***ing miserable”
NEVER feel sorry for the Orange Ass... Ka(r)ma-la is joyous!
