(7,220 posts)The press asked rump about the red line. As much as I hate that orange turd, he did not bring it up, the press did. And then they were so pleased with themselves that they repeated it over and over until everyone believed that Trump came in out of nowhere and drew this big red line in the sand.
It didn't happen that way.
I want rump gone so much it makes my face hurt. But I hate the way the way the press has breathlessly acted like we're in a goddamn reality TV show. They need to get their shit together and do a better job of uncovering the truth, calling him on his blatant lies, and refusing to repeat every idiotic thing he says or tweets. This is not a f-ing game. Our democracy is at stake, and their addiction to shiny objects (which for trump, manifested as millions in free advertisement) is part of the reason he ever even got such huge national attention. They played into his hands. They're complicit and part of the reason we have this deranged asshat for a president.
