Thank you Joy for mentioning that President Carter has questioned the Con's legitimacy

[malaise]

as president.
Good discussion on birtherism on Nicole Wallace's program

1. That entire discussion is FIRE! 😂

“Jimmy is running between this eyeball and this eyeball.”

For context, this is a discussion on 45’s knowing he’s illegitimate and going after Obama and Kamala by saying “Somebody told me” or “Well I understand that...” Jimmy is the guy in his head.

I hope he hears it someday and hears the dismissal and contempt.

2. That was hilarious

I agree with him that the media must stop repeating his lies and giving them more coverage

[gratuitous]

3. Doesn't hurt to bring it up again

From day one, Trump has not been president to all the American people. Those who have been given short shrift by this administration are perfectly justified in questioning its legitimacy.

4. I'm very surprised that this did not receive more coverage

It's not every day a former President questions the legitimacy of a sitting President.

[gratuitous]

5. Isn't that weird?

Another woman comes forward to accuse Trump of rape, a collective yawn. A former president calls him illegitimate, the media couldn't be bothered. I keep hearing folks say that this or that new episode is really going to hurt Trump this time for sure, and yet the media seem to have decided (Maybe they should tell us?) that they just don't care what Trump says or does. They're just casually following the horse race. Trump calls the media the enemy of the people, and deranged nut jobs shoot up newspaper offices or dismember a reporter alive, and the media just can't take the time, even when it's their own colleagues being wiped out.

Someday I think they might come to care about it, but I don't know who will be left to help them fight back against this authoritarian Russian puppet.

7. It is deliberate

The billionaires, the corporate media and their hacks are all in this together.

10. Our Albuquerque Journal bends over backwards to normalize Trump.

And this is a very blue city and state.

6. the media gave that about 20 seconds. If that.

[malaise]

8. I am still stunned

and not much shocks me these days

9. What difference does it make?

He IS the President, he has the power of the President, and people will vote for or against him based on his performance as President.

Reality sometimes sucks, but it’s a good basis for decision-making.

11. With that kind of attitude it doesn't. Thanks for the words of wisdom anyway.
