As much as I dislike this guy and his views, policies, past actions, morals, etc… This was a nothingburger.
Well, with the exception of how much shit they give Biden for not being able to speak without a teleprompter, yeah it would be nothingburger.
But there’s at least something when it’s pointing out the hypocrisy of the right.
And just because they don’t care about the hypocrisy doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t point it out.Right? I want my 30 secs back. They would’ve been better spent on Prime Day.
Edit: serves me right for not using a /s but damn y’all. I thought it was obvious I wasn’t even remotely serious about Prime day.
Fuck amazon
The great thing about Prime Day is that it happens a lot through the month.
There is Prime Day on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 29th, and sometimes the 31st.
Seems to be an ongoing issue for the repubs. Trump complained about the same last month.
It’s incredible to me how
journalistsbloggers turn so much nothing into a news story and then people feel the need to share it.The Speaker of the House couldn’t make a speech due to a teleprompter breakdown. It’s not a minor thing. If it happened to the President it would be in the news for weeks.
This begs the question: can Mike Johnson function without someone telling him what to say? And who’s telling him what to say anyway? The oil industry? The Chinese? Obama?
Mike needs to answer voters’ questions about why he can’t function without someone feeding him the words. It’s either that or step down. More and more people are asking that recently.
Refinement to your claim: if it happened to President Biden, it would be in the news for weeks. If it happened to Trump as president or any other Republican for that matter, nothing. They could all fall into a trance of aphasic racist gibberish and the reporting would be on how big the crowd was.
I can not think of anything that means nothing more than this.
He’s there to read some words, the words disappeared, he was unable to read them. How in the world are you imagining this to be anything at all?
It shouldn’t be news if this happens to anyone, including the president. This is not news. This is a tech malfunction.
Fun fact: words said or not said by politicians in high office often have far-reaching consequences.
He was simply introducing the next speaker. What “far-reaching consequences” might this have?
I dunno, stuff? And junk like that? 🤷
Your original comment made it sound like words are inherently inconsequential, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Gotcha. I am not sharing the same reality or maybe not discussing the same story as you. Understood.
Nobody would care if Republicans hadn’t spent over a decade talking about how assorted Democrats couldn’t function without a teleprompter.
Didn’t ya hear that Obama wore a Tan suit once? And he likes Dijon mustard too?!?
What’s his stance on arugula?
I hear it’s expensive
Leaning to his right against a streetlight, hip thrust out slightly.
I certainly don’t care. What I do care about is the dimwits who think this means anything at all. You’re so distressed over nothing that everything becomes headline news. This is what news organizations and social media outlets are using to manipulate the narrative and show you more ads. Because you’re gullible.
Jesus Christ dude, nobody thinks this is a career ending scandal. It’s a video on huff po of the the guy looking kind of dumb. Downvote it and move on with your life if you don’t care; there’s no reason to be a huge dick about it.
At the same time, they completely blow off actual news to treat fascists like silly geese (goosesteppers?)
Is it just me or does he look like Stephen Colbert?
A bit of an off brand and slightly sanded version, yeah
