It is incredible how many awful things Donald Trump and Republicans are capable of doing on a daily basis.
It is even more incredible how corporate media fails to cover those things properly.
Last night
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed debated against himself at Michigan’s Senate debate after his MAGA opponent failed to show up.
Here is a photo of El-Sayed standing across from an empty podium, a picture that would normally end a political career.
Yet, the moderator proceeded to ask El-Sayed questions as if it were a regular debate. Asking him about policies! And about ‘controversial’ past statements he’s made!
Instead of zooming out and asking the much, much more pertinent question at hand….such as, “Where the hell is your opponent? Why didn’t he feel it was important to show up to a paid-for debate? What does that say about him as a candidate? Is he incapable of defending his policies? Is he sick? Did he get arrested on the way over here? Do you think your opponent respects Michigan? Do you think your opponent deserves to be a Senator if he can’t show up for a debate?”
I mean, they should have just awarded El-Sayed a trophy at the start and declared him the winner of the debate simply for having the balls to show up.
And they should framed every question around the fact that Rogers wasn’t even there!
They also should have done a follow-up segment investigating why Rogers ducked out of a scheduled debate.
The press in our country, from top to bottom, simply sucks.
Then, there’s Mitch
Mitch McConnell was spotted in public for the first time in 3 months. His staffers wheeled him out of his house, like a corpse, and into a car.
He is technically still alive. But truth be told, dude looks like a vegetable.
Remember: We paid for his healthcare—and his salary—for 3 straight months while he was absent without knowing even if he was alive…even though he voted to cut medicaid and cut paid sick leave for families.
The least we deserve are answers and transparency.
P.S. Outlets like CNN and the New York Times ran wall-to-wall coverage about ‘Biden’s age’ being a problem, yet they didn’t touch a story about Senator McConnell vanishing from the public eye for 90+days without an explanation.
Remember: Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about Biden’s cognitive abilities, even though Biden never missed a day of work. Yet, no book about McConnell, who at this point appears to be brain-dead (but still gladly accepting our tax dollars).
And then, there’s the enigma of Donald Trump
Trump has engaged in so many corrupt and illegal schemes, that, if Biden had done a fraction of any of these, they would’ve make the front page of every outlet and would’ve stayed on the front page for months on end.
This week alone, we found out that:
