    Not so strange I think. Trump is simply taking advantage of the social
    media reactive mentality so prevalent in modern society. All he has to
    do is speak and people react because they know he is going to do
    something.

    They have no idea what he's going to do, but they start reacting and he flicks a finger, knocking over a string of branching dominoes.

    The reactive mutants have fits because it's not exactly what he said he
    was going to do initially so they call him obscene names and liar.

    It's like watching Trump in an old Cary Grant movie where the good guy
    takes a beating or two but comes out on top at the end.

    I agree. For the longest time I have had a theory that while the talking heads ,producers and the "face if you will", of the media truly seem to hate Trump
    I suspect that the upper levels of companies like CNN were hoping he would get elected
    because he's good for business.

    As the saying goes, "no news is not news" and controversy sells. I think
    Trump plays the media like a violin. He drops these "bombs" on purpose and the media

    I'll bet they were not hwppy at the prospect of covering Biden, or should I say covering

    It's a clever way to claw back the USAID money that Democrats wasted on >promoting queers sexually experimenting on children.

    Correct! Trump is a sexual predator who is trying to convert our children
    to homosexuality using government funds.

    ll rightists are inferior and therefor DEI hires. White Christian male rightists prefer sex with boys.

    Some estimates exist on the total instances of sexual abuse within
    Protestant
    Christian churches. One estimate comes from three of the largest faith-
    based
    insurance companies that insure nearly 160,000 churches. These three faith- based insurance companies reported 7,095 insurance claims of sexual abuse
    by
    clerical members, church employees, congregation members, or others
    involved
    within these settings from 1987 to 2007 (The Associated Press, 2007). These reports indicate an average of 260 claims of sexual abuse per year. In addition, Denney, Kerley, and Gross (2018) published one of the first
    empirical studies on sexual abuse in the U.S. within Protestant Christian settings that examined news articles reporting on arrests involving sexual abuse, finding 326 total cases reported from 1999 to 2014. Most recently,
    the
    Houston Chronicle published a series titled "Abuse of Faith," uncovering
    sexual abuse and cover-up within the largest Protestant Christian
    organization in the U.S. (i.e., the SBC). They identified 380 sexual
    abusers
    and 700 alleged victims over 20 years (Downen, Olsen, & Tedesco, 2019). Moreover, Downen et al. (2019) found that 35 Southern Baptist ministers
    were
    hired at churches, despite being accused of sexual misconduct or abuse, demonstrating a pattern of institutional issues in responding to alleged
    sexual abuse.

    It is clear that sexual abuse occurs within these organizations, thus underscoring the importance of examining sexual victimization and related contextual characteristics, such as offender types, that arise within this setting. The need to further understand sexual abuse within this setting is imperative since the impacts of sexual victimization are so severe. Effects
    of sexual victimization include, but are not limited to, depression, suicide/suicidal thoughts, substance use/abuse, posttraumatic stress
    disorder
    (PTSD), eating disorder(s), and more (Bensley, Van Eenwyk, & Simmons, 2000; Beitchman et al., 1992; Briere & Runtz, 1988; Dube et al., 2005; Gold,
    1986;
    Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993; MacMillan & Munn, 2001;
    Najdowski & Ullman, 2009; Rossow & Lauritzen, 2001; Simpson & Miller,
    2002).

    should I say covering *for* Biden during another term.
    He's boring, barely even speaks with the media and there is no
    question that viewers flip the channel when a Biden segment is
    airing. Except of course when he is tripping, stumbling, mumbling
    and falling all over the place.



    The Pothead Creed:

    2021 - Look what Biden is doing!
    2022 - Look what Biden is doing!
    2023 - Look what Biden is doing!
    2024 - Look what Biden is doing!
    2025 - WHy are you so fixated the
    current president, let's talk about
    Biden!

    Says the hypocrite.

    Indeed.
    The libtards are hoping that Biden will just go away so they can move
    to rewrite history eliminating all the disasterous policies he
    enacted.


    For liberals Biden HAS gone away. See any
    press releases/public speeches by him lately?

    YOU are the one stuck in a loop of
    injecting Biden into every discussion
    about Trump and current events

    Like you did with Trump for 4 years? Hypocrite.

    TBH, these days nothing would surprise me. We live in strange times.

    Not so strange I think. Trump is simply taking advantage of the social
    media reactive mentality so prevalent in modern society. All he has to
    do is speak and people react because they know he is going to do
    something.

    They have no idea what he's going to do, but they start reacting and he
    flicks a finger, knocking over a string of branching dominoes.

    The reactive mutants have fits because it's not exactly what he said he
    was going to do initially so they call him obscene names and liar.

    It's like watching Trump in an old Cary Grant movie where the good guy
    takes a beating or two but comes out on top at the end.

    I agree. For the longest time I have had a theory that while the talking heads
    ,producers and the "face if you will", of the media truly seem to hate Trump I suspect that the upper levels of companies like CNN were hoping he would get elected
    because he's good for business.

    He's always been good for business and he's aggressive. There is a lot
    of squawking going on but the facts are the bigger spenders are not
    going to cut back. They are going to take advantage of the situation.
    Yes, the lower income folks are going to have to tighten belts for a
    bit, but it's only going to hurt those living off credit anyway.

    As the saying goes, "no news is not news" and controversy sells. I think Trump plays the media like a violin. He drops these "bombs" on purpose and the media
    gets sucked in every single time.

    Ha! They changed their feeds so there is a running stream of stuff to
    look at. Dunno if that's AI or what. He's definitely in the top 10 of
    content every day.

    I'll bet they were not hwppy at the prospect of covering Biden, or should I say covering
    *for* Biden during another term.

    Not so much Biden, that train wreck Harris.

    He's boring, barely even speaks with the media and there is no question that viewers flip the channel when a Biden segment is airing.
    Except of course when he is tripping, stumbling, mumbling and falling all over the place.

    The media (Include social media) is to blame for a lot of the dumb
    governance decisions made in the last two decades. They amplified the
    noises of the ignorant and it affected political policy. Democrats are
    far more likely to bend over and do stupid illogical things to shut up
    their constituents.

    That's because Biden is smarter and more mentally alert than Trump, the
    feeble old cocksucker who's mind has rotted from Sexually Transmitted
    Diseases.

    You are so full of shit, I can smell it from here.

    Trump never bankrupted 3 casions, he's got the loot stashed in that
    bathroom at Mar-a-Lardo.

    More likely is extreme federal debt is reaching a point where it's causing instability which will lead to a crash unless we can make corrections.

    But when he tries, Liberals get pissed.
