Imagine Obama saying something like this to a reporter. People would have lost their god damn minds.
Now we just accept this horrible behavior. I'm so fucking tired of this fuck-ass world.
Now we just accept this horrible behavior
Here's the thing, when a Democrat inevitably wins, we will suddenly no longer accept this behavior. It'll happen twice as fast if it's a woman or person of color.
So true. I remember when Biden made a speech in which he called out authoritarianism, and lots and lots of pearls were clutched about how it was his speech that had the authoritarian overtones. Much of it was from the unhinged right of course, but also reactionary centrists.
FFS.
I don't accept it but I'm not in a position to do anything about it. Let's not forget this turd has many many enablers.
Racist gonna racist
Jeez, it's not like she asked about all the pedophelia he did, or how hard he's losing in Iran, or how weak he looks with Xi and Putin...
What a wuss
America has between 390 and 500 million solutions to this problem.
17.7 billion rounds were manufactured in 2024 alone
funny how he only seems to react this way towards FEMALE reporters.
I mean, he's a dick to reporters in general, but he only directly insults or tells women to shut up... you'd think that would make people not like him... on account of him being a raging misogynistic rapist and all that... but, no.
The people who like him are/like raging misogynistic rapists.
Just once I want a real man to stand up to him and question his horrible behavior
Well you have a real opportunity to stand up to him this November.
If they don't manage to rig it to the point where the result is a foregone conclusion, that is 😮💨
Won’t know till the votes are counted so if you can vote do so.
They probably will
.@POTUS: "I love an open, free press. What I don't like is a fake press."
Literally 1984.
Story time! When I was in college I was the Opinion Editor of our paper and also had a weekly column. Without getting into the specifics and making this post longer than it needs to be (but am happy to share the full story if folks want), I wrote a piece straight up calling out a blatantly racist stance that my university took. It got some back-and-forth from students, but surprisingly I didn't get any notable reaction from the administration. I was a senior that year and graduated a few months later.
Found out that, at the start of the next academic year, the university president deigned to darken the door of the newspaper office to meet with all the staff. He slapped my article onto the table and told everyone present "this will not happen again. From here on out, every article you publish will be both factual and pro-university." He later reconfigured the entire paper into a "magazine" that was effectively a PR rag.
Anyway, this quote and the university president's are basically the same. They're oxymoronic. Conservatives LOVE doublethink.
Why not name the school and the administrator?
Palm Beach Atlantic University. President at the time was David Clark.
No, 1984 would deny that there was anything they did not like.
