Comment on At the lowest moment of my life, I rediscovered sports’ greatest gift: Hope

Last week, Felon Trump called Milwaukee "horrible." Immediately, the Wisconsin Republican delegation fell all over themselves trying to do damage control by denying he said it, to trying to clarify by saying he meant election integrity, elections in general and/or crime. Almost as immediately, Trump started getting slammed by Biden, who came out with a line of pro-Milwaukee merchandise, and by the DNC, who plastered the city with billboards with Trump's ugly mug and ugly quote. Felon Trump's damage control wasn't nearly as fast.

After years of denying trying to replace white people, the soon-to-be-not-White House will drop the pretense today and announce new measures to hasten what the MAGA right refers to as the Great Replacement. Pres. Joe Biden will announce sweeping immigration changes to end the fear of deportation for about half a million people here, and create pathways to citizenship so that immigrants can replace the suicidal white folk who have enacted decades of policies apparently intended at eliminating themselves, leaving Democrats no choice but to replace them. Biden is expected (by me, facetiously) to explain that the Great Replacement has been made necessary due to a number of factors impairing the ability of Americans to replace themselves. For decades, right-wing policies have made it more difficult to start a family, so fewer people have been doing it.

Fox not "news" has been helping the rest of the right-wing ecosystem push a number of deep-fake videos, designed to paint the President as unfit for office, and as a distraction from the fact that Trump sounds like an incoherent raving maniac every time he opens his mouth. They were at it again this Monday on The Five, defending the edited clips, along with continuing to push the fantasy that Hillary Clinton is going to swoop in at the last minute and replace Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate, which was followed by Jeanine Pirro pushing their latest smear -- lying that Biden and Trump will be seated at the debate in order to help Biden: Hours after CNN refuted a brand-new conservative media outlet’s “scoop” that President Joe Biden wants to sit down during next week’s debate with Donald Trump, Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro peddled the debunked claim on-air.read more

After some hard-hitting reporting on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's Father's Day post on Xitter, Ben Shapiro used that to launch an attack on the gays and adopted children. Shapiro doesn't appreciate that Schumer's daughter is married to a woman, and he can't comprehend why they would spend time together on Father's Day.

Fox News and Trump advisor Sean Hannity is worried about Trump's mental acuity issues. So he claimed President Biden needs to be drug-tested before the presidential debate. Who knew sitting presidents would be treated as racehorses? Hannity whined about the CNN moderators because they aren't MAGA-approved sycophants. He's pre-framing the debate as "anti-Trump" because he's worried the non-Fox moderators won't lick Trump's shoes enough. "It's going to be three-on-one, but the former president took on the challenge," Hannity said.

Yep, the Murdoch outlets The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post have sunk to each other's level. Why is Murdoch’s New York Post flooding the zone with doctored vids of Biden? Why is Wall Street Journal lying about Biden? Why is Trump pushing out pro-Trump polls that he himself paid for?
