so the day after jd vance said the trump campaign did not film an ad at a gravesite, the trump campaign released the ad they filmed at the gravesite

Instead, time for the media to find something else "damning" about Harris to fit this week's competition narrative.

chbarts.bsky.social•303 days ago

ABC's found something:

The image to the left shows Armin Laschet. This photo shows him laughing during a gathering after some severe floods in Germany. Because of this photo he is NOT the chancelor of Germany. At the time he had a clear lead in the elections and was expected to win.

Of course the Trump campaign lied. Oddly enough Matt Drudge isn't at all terrified of the Trump campaign, but corporate media certainly is. How else to explain why this isn't the #1 news story on every news site? Meanwhile, look at the banner headlines on Drudge's platform right now:

darrenmart.bsky.social•303 days ago

We really are in an upside-down world. A couple years ago I never would've guessed that CNN would be normalizing Trump while Drudge consistently calls him out.

gavinneedham.bsky.social•303 days ago

Drudge is extremely anti-trump and has been calling out his shit for some time.

johnconorryan.bsky.social•303 days ago

Time to get @mattdrudge.bsky.social active here so he'd realize he'd have loads of people clicking through with no Xwitter or Meta algorithm to throttle traffic.

chrishanrahan.bsky.social•303 days ago

But it'll drop out of the coverage in...oh wait

ceezworld12.bsky.social•303 days ago

Sadly I’m seeing a few stories trying to paint Trump as the hero for the gold star families that were being “stymied” and disrespected by Biden. So you know, “balance”. 🙄

karmasdad.bsky.social•303 days ago

Why is DOJ not pursuing charges here, Merrick? I'm nearing my 7th decade and he is the most worthless AG I can recall. He's the Bartleby the Scrivener of AGs. He prefers not to act against Republicans.

anent.org•303 days ago

Remember, he was nominated for SCOTUS precisely because he was deemed moderate and milquetoast enough for Republicans to confirm him.

valentinorie.bsky.social•303 days ago

... tbh, when has tRUMP EVER NOT LIED!

infiniteview.bsky.social•303 days ago

When the truth, through pure coincidence, aligns with what he wants to be true in that instant?

I'm sure there's been one or two instances in the last ten years...

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•303 days ago

The army statement is the top story on CNN. So far so good, you know?

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•303 days ago

Currently top two stories on NYT are about this. Not the top story at WaPo (Ukraine) but in the top few.

wizzyprobs.bsky.social•303 days ago

Not really, though. They cover up Mango Tit's attack on Arlington Cemetery with some Sulzberger special both sides bullshit.

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•303 days ago

But it's part of The Conversation now. The fact that it happened can't be swept under the carpet! That's the win, here.

wizzyprobs.bsky.social•303 days ago

Hi. I'm from 2024... let me tell how it's been since 2015...

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•303 days ago

My point is that people were saying 48 hours ago that this was a non-story that would be buried. (Despite the fact that we only knew about it at all because of a news story.) It is now a vastly BIGGER story. I'm not saying anyone's going to jail! I'm saying it's part of the campaign now!

mathandstuff.bsky.social•303 days ago

Yeah, CNN may be throwing Trump under the bus here.

Hopefully going after the army will go as well for Trump as it did for Joe McCarthy.

kenraining.bsky.social•303 days ago

It also needs to be reiterated that he is not only a current candidate, but a FORMER PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF. To have that kind of disrespect for veterans is shocking and appalling.

afbourque.bsky.social•303 days ago

But how does it hinder Harris's chances???

bflodude.bsky.social•303 days ago

And veterans of the not fascist variety

traveller-in-black.bsky.social•303 days ago

A large number of veterans of the antifa variety!

josephpmathews.bsky.social•302 days ago

That’s going in a round of letters for @votefwd.bsky.social! My grandpa enlisted underage to fight nazis and protect people’s right and access to vote

jesseberney.com•303 days ago

And when asked about it, Vance said Harris can "go to hell."

Just terrible, awful, horrible people.

kelong.bsky.social•303 days ago

At this point, Trump and Vance could go on a multi-state murder spree with and it would be an improvement over the current campaign strategy.

beefreeferlives.bsky.social•303 days ago

The fact that the Army is not defending the worker who tried to enforce the rules and not pressing charges on her behalf is a fucking craven disgrace.

bethmeacham.bsky.social•303 days ago

But instead the Press will just ignore it.
