Jeff Tiedrich - will the DC press ever admit that the Mad King's brain has gone fuckity-bye?

at the end of the day, the worthless scribblers of our corporate-controlled press are a bunch of gutless fucking cowards. they’re gutless cowards at the beginning of the day, too, and every second in between.

you can’t tell me that reporters who deal with Donny on a daily basis don’t know they’re watching a deteriorating old shitforbrains in advanced cognitive decline. how can they not, after listening to him repeatedly prattle on about whatever fever-swamp nonsense is pinballing inside his big dumb pumpkin head, day after day?

of course they know. it’s got to be an open secret that the Emperor has no brain. but they can’t say shit about Donny’s mind having gone fuckity-bye, because their livelihoods depend on pretending that America’s Mad King is perfectly normal. so they dance around Donny’s crazypants incoherence, and sanewash it as best they can.

all of which makes it astonishing that the DC-insider website The Hill actually went there, and published this no-punches-pulled oped by Chris Truax.

I could see the mad pedophile threaten the networks if they don’t comply and order his FCC director to pull their licenses.

You know it’s coming !

2. If your old Uncle Bruce rambled around T'giving diner like this guy, you'd spend Black Friday looking for a home for him

Any single one of these off the cuff, fantasy rants he has would qualify him for mental care assisted living but taken together, it should be a slam dunk. What’s so bothersome about it is the way the media treats it like a “dog bites man” story.

The don’t even start their reporting with “this guy is crazy as a loon” because it’s understood.

and how beautiful she is should've gotten the guys in the white coats called in with a strait jacket...but what the hell, in the 2025 rethug DC swamp, he's allowed to fantisize all he wants about what those lips could do to him. He even asked if she was in the room to make sure she got the message. She was in the room and now knows to be discrete once the time comes.
