There is nothing like the dignity of earning $9.47 an hour at a retail store or nail salon while having no health insurance. That’s why all the Reopen The Economy protesters are made up of people earning less than $12.00 an hour, and ….. *touches earpiece* oh, wait …..
Also important to have a paragraph explaining away all the protesters carrying long guns and Confederate flags (in that bastion of the Old South, Michigan) as really being Fake Liberal Outside Agitators.
Too depressing to read, only parsed it. I mean, when one’s POTUS isn’t just failing the nation, but can no longer speak in coherent sentences or even phrases but just spews a sequence of words, one unrelated to the immediately preceding one, well, mocking a bullshitter like Zito doesn’t interest me all that much — I mean, enough to read the post as opposed to, you know, parse it.
Now, who I do ship is Witmer. Caught her on one of the commie shows on MSNBC while the demos were going on and her complete lack of any fucks to give was so beautiful.
Broke verisimilitude when the Zito-ite writer noted Moogahan is a Republican. The actual Zito made her name by interviewing Republican operatives--typically county-level Party chairs and higher--and then presenting them as ordinary citizens not affiliated with any Party. If I recall correctly, she once tried to palm off a county-level GOP chair as a Democrat who was disaffected from Obama, and that was the straw that finally made the NYT ask her to move along.
Shame on you Mr. Roy Edroso, if that is your name, to attack this good woman, this wonderful writer, just because she uses her tremendous reporting skills to humanize Trump voters and give them a voice. She herself isn't even a Trump supporter, even if it might look that way. You will regret this. The gloves are off. We know who you are. We are serious, literally.
I know anyone can take a bad picture, but I laffed like a crazy person when Selina's photo appeared. Little did I know that that would be just the FIRST incident of the laffing!
Because I follow Kilgore Trout on the twitter, I caught Tim Carney’s effort to dox them and then Bethany’s utter meltdown at the organized sockpuppet conspiracy to take down Salena Zito. As if we couldn’t all read the careful debunks ourselves.
But I hadn’t tortured myself with the column in question until you linked it here. I snorted when I got to “bitter clingers.” Not only are the RW snowflakes still upset about that over a decade later, (a) Obama never used that term, and (b) in context his statement was not only accurate, it was sympathetic. So maybe she won’t overhear people at gas stations anymore, but she’s still as dishonest as ever. And there is zero evidence in that piece that she was actually at the protest.
I would feel sorry for these rubes if they weren’t trying to kill us all. Not to mention chanting “Lock her up” at every woman politician they've been whipped up against.
My husband sent me an ”alternate history” piece set during Hillary Clinton’s presidency in which the Goopers were holding hearings into her negligence in allowing 500 Americans to die of COVID-19. Which reminded me of how I'd respond when people wished the 2000 election had properly gone to Gore, which is that the GOP would have blamed him for 9/11 the way they did with Hillary and Benghazi.
*sigh* I literally can't tell the difference between satire and real life anymore. I thought it was a gag when I saw the hed that Trump had mocked some guy at an event for wearing a mask.
This comment has not been pithy, funny, or even coherent, but at this point I'm pleased when I can manage anything more than a primal scream.
I remember fondly how, after Stephen Colbert played host to Bill O'Reilly, Mr O'Reilly said of metting Mr Colbert 'He blew me right away' to which Colbert responded that there was a dinner first.
>>On Monday, when he walked up to the state capitol steps to observe the demonstration, urging Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, to reopen the economy, Gerow was blown away at the number of people in attendance.
For a man who has long given up on being blown away by anything in politics, that says a lot.<<
Christ Jesus, that is not just piss-poor writing for a "professional" newspaper, it would get an F in an undergrad journalism class.

“I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. Look, you’re the wordsmith, you put something nice at the end."
I'm crying. I'm crying.

Goo goo goo joob!
"Moogahan is not a man who is easily blown."
He could get blown. He'd have to come up off of some money (because no one would do because they wanted to...) but he could get blown.

I had something witty to say comparing these troglodytes to sock sorters. But I lost it along the way.
This woman actually gets paid to write this crap?
