Back in my day a weird yell was enough to kill your run.
Just a yeeaaoowww and you’re done. Now, if you’re Trump and you are literally strangling someone to the point that they make that sound, you’re presidential material because “that person getting choked was probably a democrat pedophile communist so he deserves it.”
I agree, the more negative shit he does, the more momentum he gains with the right.
It was altered by the press to sound extra weird. It was a regular whoop in a cheering crowd, but isolate the mic and hey-presto it sounds weird.
I don’t think it was altered, I heard that he was using a microphone that was designed to not pick up crowd noise
That yell was glorious
And you better be able to spell potatoe! (And after Mr. Quayle’s call to Pence to shore him up on preserving our democracy, I’m sad I ever laughed at him.)
yeeaaoowww
I feel like it was more of a yeeaaaughhhh
But hey, potato potatoe.
Not all the media is giving him a “free pass.” I’ve read several articles about him going full nutjob and totally losing it. Of course a person only has to hear him speak once to know he’s off his rocker - and we’ve had several years of his s#it being shoveled in our direction.
You can say “shit” on the Internet.
Good to know. Shit, shit shit, shit! Hey you’re right. This - this changes the whole game for me!
I appreciated it, anyway. Love getting hassled for trying to raise the level even one tiny bit. Que sera sera.
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN CURSE ON THIS THING
Uh, yeah. Yes.
It’s obvious he was saying “shit.” Nobody was fooled. No class was gained.
If you don’t want to say “shit,” just don’t say it. It’s ridiculous to pretend you’re not saying it when typing out all but one letter. Nothing is gained.
Well I’m just being facetious (in a shitty sort of way). I have often written stronger words on this platform. I’ve just been trying to tone down all the expletives a bit, even if it requires leaving a letter out here and there. I didn’t mean to cause an uproar by not spelling out “shit” in all its innate glory.
The media is also avoiding reporting about all the parts of the rightwing plan.
They are as follow:
1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.
3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.
4-Use the DoJ to target critics
5-Weaken the election security agency
6-Reject climate change
7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government
#3 - The military leadership is not going to back Trump’s plays. OTOH, I see no reason he can’t fire them and put in loyalists.
This is why Tuberville is blocking military appointments and talking about not want a woke military.
What frustrates the hell out of me is that these warning flags are being raised in opinion sections and not in main articles in news outlets. It also frustrates me that local news outlets, where a vast majority of people throughout America still get their news, has not been covering this at all.
That’s because the local outlets are all controlled by Sinclair group which is a right wing corporation. All thanks to Ajit Pai’s FCC throwing out a rule that prevented it.
That fucking guy is a true a piece of shit.
The argument isn’t that they aren’t covering it, it’s that they covered it and haven’t continued reporting it over and over again.
But it happened 4 days ago, and as I search right now there are articles from the New York Times, USA Today, NBC News, CNN, The Hill, all from the last 24hrs. They ARE still covering it.
And the articles mostly call it out as echoing Nazi language, I don’t see how you could claim that they aren’t covering it negatively enough either.
There is just nothing to this complaint.
I see how you mean, but the complaint is that “Trump echoes Nazi language” is the most limp, passive and normalizing spin possible. The man is unhinged and utterly disastrous. Use those words, say that.
They “can’t” because “journalism” which I also disagree with, but it’s a different conversation.
As far as there being articles about the speech, that’s not at issue. Corporate news outlets have a huge guilty verdict against them for running cover for trump at every level in 2016. From the tone, to the spin, to the format, to the rationale; “both sides” and “her emails” and 1000 hot takes as to Clinton’s perceived missteps it all worked hand-in-hand with russian hacking, propaganda, and illegal campaign contributions to support trump.
If corporate news wants to live in a free and fair democracy, the have GOT to figure out how to call trump what he is, because this format from the 50’s will doom us all. This speech is a prime example.
Saying he is echoing nazi language is only normalizing what he says if nazi language itself is normalized. And if that were the case, you have way bigger problems than you realize.
Trump saying that out loud happened 4 days ago. This plan is not new this week. There are bits and pieces of new coverage going back a couple months.
The road to Trumps authoritarian America will be paved with lenient judges and federal agencies that don’t enforce laws against him.
The media just wants clicks. They don’t care if it’s good news, bad news, fake news, etc.
