I found both 60 Minutes interviewers acting like it was 2016.

Lesley Stahl was almost babying Trump to get him to answer questions.

Was it just me?

Interviewer: “So, is the right-wing fever swamp framing absolutely correct, or just partially?”

Because 60 minutes is part of the liberal media.

What class is it in Journalism School where they teach you that Repeating The GOP Talking Point And Asking How Do You Respond is the way to cover politics?

Obviously, Kamala smacked it down with aplomb, but it is so damn tiresome.

Gallup, for instance, recently found that half of millennials and members of Gen Z have a favorable view of “socialism,” compared with a third of Baby Boomers.

I wonder when reporters will start asking Rethugliklans if they’ll push for a “fascist perspective” if they’re elected?

Finally heard a Trump ad on the car radio this morning. Joe Biden is going to kill the oil industry and cause millions of workers to lose their jobs. He’s getting rid of fracking (he said no new fracking permits, I believe). Many people don’t like fracking because of land use and water issues, and I’m not sure the poor oil workers are going to get much sympathy from people in Michigan. Ask the auto workers and lots of other people who are jobless now.

At the end, Whiny comes on to say, “I’m Donald J. Trump, and I approve this message.”

Fuck off.

Harris’s laugh and reaction was a very nicely formulated “WTF??!!”.

I cannot believe that the interviewer asked such an incredibly dumbass question.

I cannot believe that I am not completely and totally inured to these kinds of dumbass questions.

Lordy, FSM, do I long for sane conversation again.

Kushner on BLM protests:
“You saw a lot of people who were just virtue signaling. They go on Instagram and cry or they would put a slogan on their jersey or write something on a basketball court and quite frankly that was doing more to polarize the country…”
