12 years later and they still fool themselves that he is the Christ-child

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


CRIMINALLY INSANE JOY REID TWEETED THE FOLLOWING:

The compassion and decency are surely missed!
Show this thread



Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize and then dropped 100,000 bombs on 8 different countries, murdering and displacing millions of men, women and children... Where is all this “compassion and decency” you speak of? #ObamaDay






today and every day we give thanks for the birth of the President ... Barack Obama. Happy #ObamaDayUSA



AGAIN, IT'S ST. BARACK THE BIG SISSY -- NOT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.  KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, CHRISTINE, KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.



Is reporting that hard?  Or is lying just that easy?

Invades. 

That's the accurate term.  As in: Turkey invades Iraq.

If Mexico sent troops into California or Texas today, the US press would be saying, "Mexico Invades US."


Its ten paragraphs into the DW report before you come across this:


The government of Iraq summoned the Turkish ambassador on Tuesday to protest the initial aerial offensive. Baghdad called the airstrikes a violation of its sovereignty and said it broke international law.

AP waits until its tenth paragraph to note Iraqi objection:
Iraq's government however, summoned the Turkish ambassador on Tuesday to protest against the aerial offensive.
AP can't be bothered with noting issues like sovereignty or international law.


The Turkish government calls it Operation Claw-Eagle, the world should be calling it what it is: terrorism.  And it continues daily including today.  This morning, THE JERUSALEM POST notes:



Turkish aircraft and Iranian artillery targeted the town of Haji Omeran in the Erbil Governorate of Iraq on Tuesday, according to Sky News Arabia.
Haji Omeran is located along the Iran-Iraq border in northeastern Iraq.
The district mayor of Haji Omeran, Farzang Ahmed, told Rudaw that Iranian artillery has targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in the area before, but that Turkish strikes on the area were unheard of.
"We suspect that the two sides are in coordination, because this is the first time that Turkey has bombed this region," said Ahmed to Rudaw. "This region is frequently and every year under Iran's shelling, on the grounds that they are targeting Kurdish opposition parties."


This is terrorism.  The US government remains silent.  The world remains silent.  Day after day, year after year, Turkey violates Iraq's sovereignty and terrorizes people who live in northern Iraq.  Hiwa Shilani (KURDISTAN 24) reports:

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday announced that it had summoned the ambassador of Turkey in Iraq and handed him a complaint memo condemning the violation of Iraqi sovereignty and its airspace after recent Turkish airstrikes in the Kurdistan Region.
A statement from the foreign ministry announced that Iraq had “summoned” Turkish Ambassador Fatih Yildiz “against the backdrop of the Turkish bombing that affected a number of regions in northern Iraq, causing terror to the population, and spreading panic among them.”
“Ambassador Abdul Karim Hashim met the Turkish ambassador and delivered him a protest note, which included the Iraqi government’s condemnation of violations of the sanctity, sovereignty, and Iraqi airspace.”

The Arab Parliament -- the legislative arm of the Arab League -- on Tuesday denounced Turkey’s recent raids in Iraq, calling on Ankara to respect the sovereignty of its neighbor and put an end to its unilateral military operations there. 

Arab Parliament Speaker Meshaal bin Fahim al-Salami said in a statement that “these actions are an infringement on the sovereignty of Iraq, a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and international norms, and in violation of Security Council resolutions.”
The statement also voiced support for Iraq’s stance against Turkey’s moves.
Iraqi lawmakers also reacted to the latest developments, condemning Ankara’s operations in a statement and calling on the Baghdad government to take action to protect civilians and stop Turkish violations of the country’s sovereignty.

I'm confused here, is the Arab League a non-entity to AP, DW and other outlets?

Joe Biden, self-appointed racial expert

BULLY BOY PRESS CEDRIC'S BIG MIX  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


REACHED FOR COMMENT BY THESE REPORTERS, JOE YELLED, "HUH? SO WHAT!  I SAID I DIDN'T WANT MY KIDS TO GROW UP IN A RACIAL JUNGLE WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'D WANT THOSE PEOPLE ON MY CAMPAIGN! AND YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.  IF YOU SAY I'M WRONG, YOU AIN'T BLACK!"

WHEN THESE TWO REPORTERS POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF US IS NOT BLACK, JOE REPLIED, "WHY! WHY! WHY!  DIDN'T I JUST SAY THAT?  YOU AIN'T BLACK!"


That's in England.  Are we so deluded we don't see similar actions in the US?  Corbyn?  Bernie Sanders was his stand-in here in the United States.  Bernie watched as his campaign was circumvented by the media (overtly) and by Barack Obama and others behind the scenes.

Instead of standing up for the values he espoused while running, he now offers meek little criticisms while telling everyone to rally around War Hawk Joe Biden.

There was a movement behind Bernie Sanders.  How very sad that he betrayed.  Even more sad, only Jimmy Dore appears to be comfortable telling that truth.

John Stauber offers:

I am hoping that Crazy Joe picks ⁦
 ⁩ for VP! All the despicable #WeaponsOfMassDeception gang on one ticket!

It's very telling who Joe Biden's constituency is.  Neocons like Bill Kristol. Liars like David Frum. Trash like War Criminal Colin Powell.  Collie lied to the United Nations in order to help start the Iraq War.  (See Ava and my "TV Review: Barbara and Colin remake The Way We Were.")  He was part of a team of liars that also included Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, John Bolton and Bully Boy Bush among others.  He's gone on to lie about his lies.  And yet today he wanted to whine about Donald Trump lying.  Sarah Abdallah observes:

Colin Powell, who lied to the entire world about WMDs in Iraq, paving the way for an illegal war that killed and displaced millions of innocents, gave rise to ISIS, and destabilized the Middle East, is actually out here today lecturing us about lies.


Why did CNN put that piece of trash on to begin with?  He's a known liar.  He's never helped anyone but himself.  He lied about Vietnam, he lied his whole life.  His hands are soaked in blood.  He's never apologized for that.  Jeffrey St. Clair points out:

Now that Powell is back in the news & being feted for his courage in calling Trump a liar, it might seem rude to remind liberals that Powell whitewashed the My Lai massacre, a service to the Empire that helped launch the upward trajectory of his career...

He's also the person who refused to allow openly gay people to serve in the military.  That was what Bill Clinton had promised voters while he campaigned in 1992.  Colin wasn't having it.  That's why Bill proposed Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  In 2010, he was finally for repealing it.  He has never been forced to apologize, nor has he ever faced serious questions about his homophobia.  

Jake Tapper brought him on CNN Sunday as 'wise' Colin Powell, everybody's friend.  Jake did everything but shove his hand down the front of Colin's pants and give the liar a happy ending.  Jake should be ashamed of himself and so should CNN.  


Colin Powell’s lies led to the murder of millions in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. Colin Powell has as much blood on his hands as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Colin Powell is not a paragon of morality. Colin Powell is a war criminal.


We have endless wars today and not only are we not, as a country, trying to end them, we're now enshrining the crooks responsible for them.

Why?

To prepare for a Biden presidency.

Wanda Sykes, get a life, get a job, get a hobby, just go away

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX  -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

LOOKS CHALLENGED WANDA SYKES TOOK A TIME OUT FROM BREAKING CAMERAS AND LENSES TO ANNOUNCE THAT JOE BIDEN "FEELS AT HOME SPEAKING TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY."

HUH?

WHO ASKED THAT NEVER-WAS FOR HER OPINION?

TRUST US, WE'RE GLAD THAT THE PARENT WANDA IS TALKING JOE BIDEN INSTEAD OF AGAIN TRASHING HER OWN SON FOR THE 'SKID MARKS' IN HIS DRAWERS.  

SEEMS TO US ANY BITCH OR BASTARD RUDE ENOUGH AND EVIL ENOUGH TO MOCK THEIR CHILD ON STAGE -- THEIR SIX-YEAR-OLD CHILD -- SHOULD PROBABLY JUST SIT THEIR TIRED ASS DOWN AND SHUT THE F**K UP FOREVER MORE.

BUT, HEY, IF WANDA STOPPED NOW, WE'D NEVER KNOW WHAT ELSE SHE COULD FAIL AT.  SHE FAILED AS A LIVE ACTION FILM STAR, SHE FAILED AS A STAND-UP COMEDIAN (NEW JERSEY WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING FOR THE IT'S-OVER TOUR), SHE FAILED AS A SITCOM STAR, SHE FAILED AS A TV TALK SHOW HOST, SHE FAILED AS A TV SECOND BANANA, SHE FAILED AS A RECORDING ARTIST . . .

OH, WANDA, KEEP FAILING.  IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU DO THAT ANYONE FINDS REMOTELY AMUSING.

P.S. WANDA, JOE LIED IN THAT INTERVIEW. THE NAACP HAS NEVER ENDORSED HIM.  IS LYING LIKE THAT 'FEELING' "AT HOME SPEAKING TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY"?





In the US, attacks on Tara Reade continue.  She is the woman who came forward to accuse Joe Biden of assault.  It's no longer just that the assault is not the issue the corporate whores won't address, it's no longer just the embrace of rape culture, it is now the stereotypes that they are re-enforcing.

Meet the Ultimate Karen: Michelle Goldberg.

The whore for THE NEW YORK TIMES participated in a podcast for the paper this week and we don't link to rape culture.  In that podcast, she put out a thought -- if you can call it that -- that is especially illuminating.

She's trying to run with pig boy Michael Tracey's attack which is that Tara Reade never should have been covered in the first place.  Michelle wants you to know that the press didn't do their job when the covered her without vetting her.

This really isn't an avenue that she or anyone else should pursue.

First, their goal is to elect Joe Biden.  All this argument does it remind everyone that blessed Beau Biden wasn't a saint either -- not even compared to hustler bro Hunter.  All it reminds people of is Larry Sinclair.  Larry claimed he did cocaine with Barack Obama, he claims they had sessions in limo where they performed oral sex.  He even wrote about it in a book entitled LARRY SINCLAIR AND BARACK OBAMA: COCAINE, SEX, LIES AND MURDER?

Whether you believed Sinclair or not, he was suddenly becoming interesting to the press when all the sudden he got arrested.  Why?  Trumped up charges by Beau Biden, who was the Attorney General of  Delaware at the time.

The charges fell apart but not before Sinclair was arrested in DC for charges in Delaware and the press ran away from the story.

I have no idea whether Sinclair was telling the truth or not.  I didn't follow the story, it wasn't about assault or rape -- he was claiming a consensual relationship.  But even not following it, it was clear that Beau was abusing his powers of office to stop the press from covering the story.

So it's probably not a good idea to remind the American voters that the only member of the Biden family whose hands are considered clean are, in fact, probably dirty.

But for the media itself?

If you're a person of color and/or anyone who cares about fairness with regards to the treatment of all human people, then you do remember The Days Of The Missing Blonds.  Matt Lauer was one of those who made a career out of that genre.  To a lot of the country, it looked like every time a blond girl or woman went missing, the whole news industry came to a stop.  It was the sole focus day after day after damn day.  Now let a child of color go missing and it wouldn't make THE TODAY SHOW or GOOD MORNING AMERICA or . . .

The media has never owned up to what they did.  They have never taken accountability for it or made a pledge to pursue fairness.

So it's telling that Michelle Goldberg is re-enforcing that classist and racist standard.

Tara Reade, she insists, was allowed to speak without being vetted.

Why does she need to be vetted?  Because Joe Biden says so?  When does he get vetted?  His behaviors are well known -- even if Michelle's paper edits out a sentence on the Biden's campaign's behalf noting his history of harassing women.  Yes, boys and girls, sniffing hair, groping from behind, kissing women you don't know -- all of that is harassment.

Tara Reade doesn't deserve to tell her story -- Michelle Goldberg wants you to know.

That is the mentality of the press that led to the never-ending Days Of The Missing Blonds coverage.  Again, while they covered blond women and blond girls, they ignored children of color that went missing, African-American women that were killed.  It was only a certain group that the media felt had a right to tell their story.

Tara Reade has made a credible accusation and has what we have always considered corroborating evidence (her mother's 1993 call to LARRY KING LIVE, the 1996 court documents where her husband notes her harassment, people who remember her telling them about it in real time when it happened as well as years and years ago).  No one who has come forward to the people and the press has ever had that amount of corroborating evidence for a rape.

Those are the issues.  And those are the issues that the media runs from because they want to protect Joe Biden.  Good little whores, that's all they are.

Imagine that every awful thing that has been said about Tara is true.  For one minute, let's pretend that's true.

So what?

She can't be raped because a landlord doesn't like her or someone who claims to have been her friend didn't get back a set of law books?

Michelle Goldberg is not a feminist.  She's not about truth or journalism either.  She's just a little whore who is going to smear a woman because it's the thing the Joe Biden campaign needs her to do.   Twenty years from now, when she whispers, "I believe Tara Reade," people should throw food at her.  She's useless and she's a whore.

If she truly believed the lies she repeats, that would only be more reason for her to defend Tara Reade and to try to educate people on how there is no perfect victim.

Michelle is not about feminism and never will be.  She is the Ultimate Karen -- a white woman of a certain class (not a high class, mind you, she's still got dirty face pressed against the glass hoping to get in) looking down on everyone else as she pretends to be superior.



Fred Tippett (NORTH BY NORTHWESTERN) wonders if Joe Biden really wants to be elected president:

First of all, he gave voters a direct reason not to vote for him. Last week, in an MSNBC interview, Biden again denied Tara Reade’s, a Senate staffer for him in the 90s, allegation that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, maintaining the stance his campaign has held since Reade’s accusation. But then, Biden kept talking.
The former Vice President said, “If they [voters] believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn’t vote for me,” and even went as far as to say, “I wouldn’t vote for me if I believed Tara Reade.” Now, first of all, I believe it was very honorable of Biden to acknowledge and state his understanding of the seriousness of this allegation to some voters. But from a political standpoint, this was a very strange choice. Reade’s allegation had already shaken Biden’s support from women and young people and Biden, rather than trying to win them back, opened the door for them to walk away. Not to say it would’ve been better for Biden to do the opposite and completely discredit Reade and those who believe her but … I don’t know — he just really put himself into a proper Catch 22 situation.
Secondly, there is, of course, the story of the week: Joe Biden’s interview with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.” On the show, as I’m sure you all know, Biden said, “I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't Black." The quote spread quickly, becoming the most viral comment from a bizarrely casual interview. Critique was swift but light. Most notably, Representative Clyburn of South Carolina said he cringed at Biden’s comment, while simultaneously reiterating his support of the former Vice President. It’s unclear how the comment will affect Biden’s support among Black voters, but I think it’s safe to say Biden will not get away with it without ruffling a few feathers.




Yet even if American voters do not have sufficient evidence to determine what Mr. Biden did or did not do in the past, there are standards by which the public can judge his present conduct. One such standard is whether Mr. Biden has made every effort to be transparent and to provide access to potentially relevant archival materials. Unlike in the hearings for Justice Kavanaugh's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, when Senate Republicans chose to press ahead to a vote as close as possible to their original schedule, there is still sufficient time to resolve the question of whether any documents relevant to the present case exist and to do so well in advance of the election.
The former vice president has asked the National Archives to search for any relevant documents or other evidence, and he has made a similar request of the U.S. Senate. But he has thus far not allowed access to his personal papers at the University of Delaware, saying that those archives do not contain personnel records.
That may be true, but Mr. Biden should open those archives anyway. He could commission an impartial, professional archivist or archival firm to conduct a narrow search for any material related to Ms. Reade’s allegations. This would go a long way toward proving to a wary electorate that he is taking every possible step to be transparent.
