I share your sentiment, Earl. The Orange Ogre was complaining about fixed elections throughout 2016. Somehow he has managed to win election twice, has had Republican majorities twice, has had a Republican Supreme Court during his entire reign of terror. If Democrats could fix elections, how could Republicans have won all these elections and stacked the Court? It’s ridiculous on its face.
Not sure where Ms. Welker got the courage to push back on Trump as many have criticized her for being walked on and over as the MtP host.
Did you see Kristen Welker's X post after the interview? It negated any faith I had in her. She wrote that their conversation was "substantive". Gag! It was condescending and just plain sad. I saw it second hand, because I don't waste my time and energy on X and deleted my Twitter account when TRump was elected in 2016. But she pissed me off AGAIN.😡
THIS is what I’ve been saying for over six years now. So all of the republicans who won the election in 2020 were legit except for Donnycon. He was the ONLY one “cheated.” That doesn’t even come close to passing the smell test. And people accept this glaring hypocrisy and nonsense. It’s just crazy.
I also wondered why any press would give him the time of day, knowing full well it is just another chance to lie. On the flip side it I find it hard to understand why Trump agrees to these interviews. I guess his massive ego just cannot resist putting himself in front of the camera. That is why he wants his name on everything.
Behind the scenes there has to be a training camp for Trump loyalists. Scott Bessent is a screaming example of absolute shameless loyalty. He keeps harping that tariffs are NOT borne by the US consumer. He barely admits to inflation, the current situation is somehow beneficial. It will bring production back to the US. That would translate to high paying US jobs. Well the phony in that is why we lost manufacturing in the first place. USA is just too expensive. We see it in the price of cars and houses. Making them more expensive when the current pricing does not work will not make anything better.
A country whose people cannot afford to live there will ultimately no longer be a country. It will solve the immigration problem as no one will want to come here.
Money is the problem. The fact that the US allows unlimited amounts of money to be spent on elections allows them to be purchased by the billionaire class. And of course all they think about is their ranking in the Forbes 400.
Sorry but that is what lost the last election. We have to deal with reality. Hate and bigotry, unfortunately, is a fact of life. Voting for people based on color of their skin like Obama and Harris is also racist. USA needs the best person we can find not just because they are a minority.
Unfortunately hate is a powerful motivator. Trump is their one big chance to bring the rest of us down to their level. It is ironic the people they hate the most look like Trump.
Agree and they are doing everything to make sure Dems do not win. Just tell a bunch of lies so the Dem spends time and money defending against it to win. They are digging up as much dirt as they can and manufacturing it if they cannot on Talarico in Texas.
Good for her, -finally at least. Will it break through and keep him and his enablers in the hot seat by others? We need so much more. Sadly, MSM has been sorely derelict in their duties to their and our detriment.
The First Amendment is through a mirror darkly. The Bill of Rights is read by the fascist Supreme Court as if we are living in 1984, the novel. And the corporate press sings to the tune of three blind mice because if it doesn't, the 60 Minutes muckrakers' (including Scott Pelley) fate will be theirs too. Surely we must go up from this bottom we've reached.
More people need to push him to the point of anger and then maybe he will refuse todo anymore interviews and we won't have to look art his ugly mug or listen to his whiney lies. You are 100% correct about the press needing to grow a spine. If the all become Faux news then they will lose revenue and watchers. I think a lot of people are fed up. We must ALL vote in November!!!!
Yep as that will continue to enrage him like Kristin did. He blew a gasket with her. The pissy toddler that wants everything and is still not satisfied. He is boxing himself in. He is dangerous to our country.
Earl, do you think reporters are falling down on the job on their own or is sanewashing Trump a directive from the top? Scott Pelley was told to insert falsehoods into his reporting, which is why he quit.
the narcissism...he cannot control the need to be front and center...every minute of every day. Only I can fix it. No one has ever seen anything like it. I call the shots.
Here in California, we're just laughing at the idiocy of the MAGAts. We have the most secure voting system in the USA. EVERY signature is verified, EVERY vote that's postmarked by election day is counted AND verified. These MAGAt piGs can squeal all they want. We don't care. As for the midterms, EVERYONE needs to get off of their a§§es and vote!! Don't let the ba§tards win! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Maybe Welker discovered she works for her viewers.

Yeah, she's a proper heir to Chuck Todd and the both-sides do it crowd.

Saw Kristen's interview of tRump Sunday and about soiled my britches. Day and night compared to her first interview of the orange pustule.
Money is the problem. The fact that the US allows unlimited amounts of money to be spent on elections allows them to be purchased by the billionaire class. And of course all they think about is their ranking in the Forbes 400.
Trump is a tool and a most useful one at that.
All thanks to that bought-off Conservative Supreme Court, man.
Citizens United and it's authors need to take a long walk off of a short pier.
With rocks in their pockets!!😡
The MtP interview was recorded on Friday before his roundtable rally in Wisconsin. And as is usual, NBC sat on it until Sunday.
Not a lot of news was broken in the interview, Frank, (same destructive lies) but I should have pointed this out. -Thanks
Larger audience on a Sunday? His roundtable was as huge a disaster as Welker's interview. No harm done!
our Democracy was sold to the highest bidders by these money grabbing evil men ( and women) who now occupy our White House and I’ll
never understand why the 78 million of us didn’t do more
Never understand why 70 million more did absolutely nothing.
Oh please . . . vote for a Black and a WOMAN?????
They didn’t vote for ANYBODY.
They enabled fascism and they are now FAFO.
They voted for their couches, imho.
Sorry but that is what lost the last election. We have to deal with reality. Hate and bigotry, unfortunately, is a fact of life. Voting for people based on color of their skin like Obama and Harris is also racist. USA needs the best person we can find not just because they are a minority.

Nailed it again. Any hope there will be more Kristen Welkers going forward willing to lean in and push back?
Unfortunately, I think we both know the answer to that, my friend.
I hope we are pleasantly surprised, because as the repulsive Johnson showed yesterday, November is going to be an absolute shit show.
He is a disgusting little worm.
Agree and they are doing everything to make sure Dems do not win. Just tell a bunch of lies so the Dem spends time and money defending against it to win. They are digging up as much dirt as they can and manufacturing it if they cannot on Talarico in Texas.
I might get a bottle of fine tequila for elections night.
I wish Jasmine Crockett found herself a new career in journalism.
Good for her, -finally at least. Will it break through and keep him and his enablers in the hot seat by others? We need so much more. Sadly, MSM has been sorely derelict in their duties to their and our detriment.
And if they'd at least do this much ... they might begin to get their credibility back, Constance.

I'd like to think so, man.
More people need to push him to the point of anger and then maybe he will refuse todo anymore interviews and we won't have to look art his ugly mug or listen to his whiney lies.

They simply need to do their damn jobs, Teri.
Yep as that will continue to enrage him like Kristin did. He blew a gasket with her. The pissy toddler that wants everything and is still not satisfied. He is boxing himself in. He is dangerous to our country.
And quit watching anything on CBS!
I find your first sentence to be hilarious!
Earl, do you think reporters are falling down on the job on their own or is sanewashing Trump a directive from the top? Scott Pelley was told to insert falsehoods into his reporting, which is why he quit.
I think there is some of this, yes, but as I have wrestled though it the past decade, I believe the chief culprit is incompetence.
They are simply terrible at their jobs, Ann.
Well for God's sake, what are they teaching in J school??
Probably all the right things, with are quickly discarded once they step into one of these broken newsrooms.
Seriously? I've felt certain that it is coming from the oligarchs who now own the MSM.
Bari Weiss was hired by nepo-baby Ellison to do just what she is doing, to kill any truth-telling that was going on at CBS.
The bully was cornered by his own lies on Sunday. He didn't have receipts to show.
He NEVER does.
The American people deserve reparations for so many injustices
You’re the best Earl! Hang in there!
Thanks. It's all we can do!
Trump can't help himself; he is a prisoner of his mental illness.
Those who enable are gutless cowards, like Trump, looking out for themselves.
Not sure I am ready to buy that insanity defense, Sharon.
There's a lot of intention to his dangerous threats.
the narcissism...he cannot control the need to be front and center...every minute of every day. Only I can fix it. No one has ever seen anything like it. I call the shots.
Dumb with a B....is more fitting
This behavior reminds me of a 2 1/2 year old that doesn't get his own way. Disgusting! Furthermore, he needs to leave the woman alone!

Strongly endorsed!
Spot on Earl. Truly hits the nail on the head. Thank you.
And fuck Trump and Johnson and the rest of those vile, Fascist anal excretions!
