Working overtime since the SWIFT sanctions hit. Gotta be hoping to get that spigot turned back on if you're supporting Russian state media and propaganda.
I think we have two, perhaps aliases and just one, but both are nakedly supporting Putin at this point.

Trying to pretend otherwise, but it's coming out into the open.

And they keep doubling down.
Whatever happened with the queen of evils reset button?? I thought she solved all these issues with Putin and Russia?? With a simple button purchased at Radio Shack no less?? :lol:
Don’t compete with the troll, cradle. It’s not really who you are.

And yes, a lot of efforts to work with Putin failed. Some of us predicted such based on prior failures and actions by Putin. Unfortunately he keeps proving that the mor dire assessments were correct.

Baseball is a JOKE

Post by runrussellrun »

never been a fan of baseball, at any level. No creativity.....BUT.

MLB "strike" isn't one. In other words, the media will play along with the game. liberals will cry, "baseball players are a union", if so and so, and such and such, says something , about so and so. Using it to divide, not show the "benefit" of being a union member. pretend CONservatives will side with owners, eschewing any facts regarding MLB NOT being a level playing field. anti trust protection is socialism.....

Don't buy into it. Baseball sucks. boring as all get out. the game itself, is not creative. The players ? there's a reason why the boreball hall of fame doesn't include Jim Rice. He was 100 times smarter than those Boston racist reporting hacks, that includes the douche bag Peter Gammons, and they resented him for it. MLB publishes that around 6 percent of it's players have 4 year degrees. Now, I , me personally, could give a flying F about a college degree......for doing your JOB.....however, didn't Yale educated George Bush, baseball player and cheerleader, sound a little bit smarter, than say, Jose Cansecco or Micky Mantle.

The strike is PT Barnum stuff....no one cares about baseball. The old timers that do, are dying off, resent the fact that many of the players names end with "ez" (agree with TLD's sentiment, racist old phucks cant die soon enough ) ...........who am I kidding. Fenway, the only "ez's " you see, are on the field, rarely the audience......

Oh.....and another socialist failure, MLB, with it's "anti trust" exclusions........the same exclusions offered to AFAN and his bizness. geez....

The game, itself, was always boring. SO....they need to drum up some attention. Who won the world series? exactly

The damn thing in Ukraine better end soon, spring break training has already been cancelled. Who knew. I didn't . No one haz cared about your sport since Pedro beat up an old man..........HE"S in the hall of fame......

MLB strike a publicity stunt.......... anyone who cared enough, saw the whiteness of your playoff crowds. but, you did have BLM spray painted on the right field wall. that, so matters. thank you, MLB

who's on first? who F'n cares.

We laugh at Russian state tv, which basically apes Putin’s brain, cheering him on with delusional observations clearly at odds with reality.

But are our own mainstream media organizations any different?!?

I’m watching MSNBC Morning Joe this morning, and the LENGTHS to which Mika goes to cheerlead for Biden are downright embarrassing. It’s cringe. After Kamala’s latest bizarre performance at her news conference in Poland, where she began by literally doing an inappropriate jig at the lectern (which makes one wonder what kind of drugs they have her on), Mika spent ten minutes discussing how ‘powerful’ her performance was. Complete media 🤡 show. I really don’t know how Democrats aren’t embarrassed by this state tv situation in America.

This follows on the heels of the information revealed yesterday that the following networks are bidding to hire Jen Psaki: ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and MSNBC. ayfkm!?!!? Try to recall that all of those networks ask Psaki questions at her daily press conference; you think they’re going to embarrass her as they vie to hire her?!!

These people are shameless. Democrats are shameless.

Our media is so broken. Our system of news and facts is broken. And still, they do all they can to suppress others speech. Stunning. Thank god for the Constitution; without it, Democrats would have made America no different than the old Soviet Union.

If they all want to hire Jen Sake... they will circle back around to a decision sooner or later. FTR, did Jen Sake ever circle back and answer any question she was going to circle back to and answer???? :roll: Jen Sake is the classic example of The Peter Principle...

The whole thing is so disgusting.

News organizations should ever hire any politician, ever. That goes for Fox too. You diminish your credibility so much, not to mention the message it sends to young journalists or journalism majors (ie: those who actually care about journalism!): ‘we’d like to hire you as a journalist but first you must prove party loyalty!’

In this regard with Psaki, it’s even worse because they are ALL literally bidding for her! It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the politics of these transparently partisan networks. Andvyet people refer to them as sources… :roll: :roll:

Was gonna reply directly to get to it, but I’ll handle both of you in one post.

I’m not as disgusted by media war cheerleading as I am political party cheerleading; there are valid reasons to (at the very least) provide Ukrainians the necessary defensive weaponry. Were it so simple that all that Fox AND Mika do is war cheerlead.

I’m more referring to the absolute embarrassing state tv symptoms of networks. You can argue that during Trump’s four years, guys like Hannity embarrassed themselves. But Hannity doesn’t purport to be a journalist. Mika does. Others on Fox had no problem calling Trump out: Brett Baer and Neil Cavuto prominently. Who are their equivalents on any of the mainstream media networks?! Show me one journalist on the mainstream nets that doesn’t literally salivate over every Democrat. Just one. That’s it.

Are you aware how many former DNC employees/operatives have significant roles at these networks? Stephanopolous, Tapper, Todd, etc…. And that’s just on camera. Executives are even more prolific. How’d that work out for Allison Gollust?!?

There is zero equivalence here, boys. You can try all you want to paint over reality, but it doesn’t fly with any reasonably intelligent human. Take the loss, admit the problem, and you’ll be far more respectable.

On CNN’s Jake Tapper show right now, there were four ‘journalist’ guests. Jake practically begged each guest to offer an excuse why inflation is high and ‘we really can’t blame Biden’.

So, if anyone buys that horse schlitz, I guess we do indeed ‘get the media we deserve’. The calisthenics (seen here at Fanlax too) by media to excuse Democratic policies is nothing short of comedy gold.

The thing that impresses me is that Biden has managed to cause global inflation with just one year in office, and...what....two bills passed?

Neat-o. Vote Republican. They'll fix the inflation in the UK.

The excuse-making here is worthy of a silver at least. Congrats. Not gold, because the CNN panelists go that one.

Yep. That's me. Telling Pete how economics work. 1+1=2. Complicated stuff.

Petey thinks that a President is in control of global inflation. Oh, and global oil prices. Anything else, Petey-Pete? Is the President in charge of making the sky blue? Or whether or not Petey-Pete has a bad day and needs a hug?

After Kamala’s latest bizarre performance at her news conference in Poland, where she began by literally doing an inappropriate jig at the lectern (which makes one wonder what kind of drugs they have her on), Mika spent ten minutes discussing how ‘powerful’ her performance was. Complete media 🤡 show. I really don’t know how Democrats aren’t embarrassed by this state tv situation in America.

This follows on the heels of the information revealed yesterday that the following networks are bidding to hire Jen Psaki: ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and MSNBC. ayfkm!?!!? Try to recall that all of those networks ask Psaki questions at her daily press conference; you think they’re going to embarrass her as they vie to hire her?!!

These people are shameless. Democrats are shameless.

Our media is so broken. Our system of news and facts is broken. And still, they do all they can to suppress others speech. Stunning. Thank god for the Constitution; without it, Democrats would have made America no different than the old Soviet Union.
If they all want to hire Jen Sake... they will circle back around to a decision sooner or later. FTR, did Jen Sake ever circle back and answer any question she was going to circle back to and answer???? :roll: Jen Sake is the classic example of The Peter Principle...
I don’t think much of Psaki in her role but I do think more of you than to consistently intentionally misspell her name which is…pick your term.
You win a cookie. Your the first person to point out my misspelling. I like Sake.. I don't like Sake. Take your pick which one I'm referring to.
We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents.

Sake is great with a good Asian beer chaser.

Psaki requires a mug of 151…

I don’t think for a second that your misspelling is anything than intentional and know you are and can be better than that. If she sucks worse than an enema as a person that’s fine but we can still address her properly. And trust me even the dirtbag in me doesn’t think about her very much at all.

I am going to get a 4.0 in damage.
