Most corporate media has a financial interest in not doing that

  • They've always had a financial interest in Trump being president because he's so volatile of a person that he draws traffic with everything he does. People fall for it all the time. I've stopped caring much about what "Trump says" and more of what Trump DOES.

    We don't really have much "media" any longer... Just lots of propaganda peddling nonsense networks owned by rich shitheads.

    I wonder just how many pictures of this guy people will share modified with penises after he's no longer in power.

    The day after Trump is out of office, you're going to get a tsunami of "We knew all along" gossip books. Just like last term.

    Fox won't and the "left" normal media won't unless it's diagnosed because they are beholden to journalistic integrity. This is the disparity we're stuck with.

    Same reason they fabricated gaffes to report on* for Biden, because 'the media' is just billionaire propaganda.

    I've been hearing "Trump Dementia" stories since his first term.

    Fucker wanted to nuke hurricanes. That. Is. Demented.

    It's part of Project Plowshare from the 1950s

    Meteorologist Jack Reed took inspiration from the 1952 Ivy Mike nuclear test and drew up plans to disrupt hurricanes with nuclear bombs.[13] Reed, an early hurricane hunter,[14] had worked in the U.S. nuclear test program and studied the atmospheric effects of nuclear explosions.[13] He authored the paper "Some Speculations on the Effects of Nuclear Explosions on Hurricanes", containing two proposals: Plan A and Plan B. Plan A envisioned using one or two 20-megaton nuclear bombs to destroy a hurricane's symmetry, weakening it and redirecting it back towards the ocean. Plan B envisioned using a single 20-megaton nuclear bomb, or many smaller bombs, to blow the eye of the storm into the stratosphere, which would slow or halt the hurricane. He was amenable to both dropping the bomb from an airplane or launching it from a submarine. He argued that radiation would have minimal effects and did not address potential harm to marine life. He presented these proposals to the 1959 symposium on Project Plowshare and an American Meteorological Society conference,[13] and unsuccessfully sought its inclusion in the International Geophysical Year.

    What's your point? Is that not consistent with dementia?

    More to the point: why can’t this be posted in the politics comm? Because it violates their rules.

    Because the news is dead and we don’t know what to do about it.

    Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

    ...is the articles title, since OP is allergic to them.

  • Why bother... It would just end up being a distraction from the reality that whole game is a sham. It'll give people the illusion of making freedom history of picking the next new fake.

    The media doesn't focus on presidential disabilities, like Roosevelt's wheelchair.

    There's really no evidence of dementia. If you knew anything about dementia or spent any time around dementia patients you wouldn't make that comment.

    I think there's some evidence that he's beginning to slow down cognitively as everyone does as they get older but there's no indication of dementia or a lack of mental capacity.

    Also the media tore into anyone who made comments about biden who actually had dementia for years. So maybe people are just afraid of being attacked by the media now if they bring it up again

    "Inject bleach." "Nuke hurricanes." "They're eating cats and dogs." stares into sun

    The greatest hits from someone that's TOTALLY NOT DEMENTED!

    Sorry but there's a big difference between occasionally stupid and dementia. If you had a family member that had dementia you wouldn't make those kind of statements. Trump does not have dementia and lying about it just makes those who have legitimate criticisms of trump look bad

    LOL That's the kind of thing people say when they know that the other guy is right but they're just two emotionally damaged to admit it. So they lash out and suddenly everything is my fault because they can't come back with anything to refute the point 😂

    I understand this is upsetting for you. Unfortunately for your echo chamber trump does not have dementia. He's a slight bit of cognitive decline which is noticeable but it's a long way from dementia.

    Maybe you could try getting on a list for doing something good.

    The kind of people who make lists are not the kind of people who care about doing good things. They're the kind of people that prefer to pigeonhole people that they believe based on their own ideology is unacceptable. You didn't see Hitler making a list of "good" jews . Maybe you shouldn't be making lists?
