Via Angry Staffer:

I find myself thinking about GOP hypocrisy today.

When Obama met the Emperor and Empress of Japan (our ally), he bowed respectfully. Conservative media called the act treasonous.

When #Trump met a North Korean general, he saluted him. Conservative media? Crickets.

Maddow: Trump admiration for dictators reflects shared goal of power, control

Rachel Maddow looks at why dictators form alliances even when their respective countries have different political systems, and how the power greed they do have in common unites them against democracy, rule of law, and the United States of America.

#Hypocrisy, #Spinelessness, & the Triumph of Donald Trump
He said #Republican politicians would be easy to break. He was right.
By Mark Leibovich

“In the summer of 2015, back when he was still talking to traitorous reporters like me, I spent extended stretches w/ #Trump. He was in the early phase of his 1st campaign for president, though he had quickly made himself the inescapable figure of that race—as he would in pretty much every Republican contest since.

“I laughed, I thought that was brilliant. I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times. So, I mean, I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh.”

Reminder from @TheGuardian that the mess that is today’s news coverage of Trump started in 2016:

“in a scathing analysis of 2016 election coverage, the Columbia Journalism Review noted that ‘in just six days, The New York Times ran as many cover stories about Hillary Clinton’s emails as they did about all policy issues combined in the 69 days leading up to the election’.”

"The Trump-Musk alliance is about their unquenchable thirst for power. Also their hatred of women, trans people, and immigrants. But it has nothing to do with 'wasteful spending,' no matter what the New York Times tells you. ...

The New York Times can pretend to believe that, but we don’t have to."

Boddie quotes Michael Steele:

"It's obvious on so many levels, but the thing about it that strikes me, and it's going to be manifest on Tuesday, in how even in the run-up to this debate, the expectation is somehow — she's got to perform better, she's got to prove something. No! The guy who's talking cray-cray has to prove something."

He made the comments at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Sat, echoing the broader RNC’s 2024 platform. The #GOP's plans for US after a Trump victory include aggressive #immigration enforcement & #MassDeportations.

“It’s Russia, Russia, Russia all over again. But they don’t look at China & they don’t look at Iran. They look at Russia. I don’t know what it is with poor Russia,” #Trump said.

[POOR #RUSSIA?]

Trump’s rally…, was billed as focused on “draining the swamp,” but featured a stump speech that meandered from familiar attacks on inflation & jobs to falsehoods about sex-change operations for minors, #ConspiracyTheories about govt employment statistics & dismissals of Russian #ElectionInterference.

“The Justice Dept said #Russia may be involved in our elections again,” #Trump told the crowd at his rally. “And, you know, the whole world laughed at them this time.”

Trump’s comments appeared to reference #DOJ’s #indictment Wed of 2 Russia-based employees of Russia’s state-run news site, #RT, in an alleged scheme in which they paid an American media company to spread English-language videos on YouTube,TikTok,Instagram & X.
