Today's Tiedrich rant: Kamala's successful convention has broken the media's brain
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/kamalas-successful-convention-has
the Democratic National Convention was a roaring success. Dems are riding high. theyre raising all the money. Kamala and Tim are rockstars right now. theyre crossing the country and speaking to ecstatic crowds in one packed arena after another.
meanwhile, the wheels are continuing to come off elderly golfer Donny Convicts moribund campaign. his panicked advisors are begging him to be less of a crazypants and to try to stay on message. keep dreaming, Team Trump.
Donnys running mate, Couchfuck McGee, is a repellent misogynist who cant manage to fake one genuine human emotion. and now Bobby Brainworms Junior has thrown his support to Donny and Couchfuck has to be eyeing Bobby nervously.
with all this going on, the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media have an important message they want to share with the Dems: what are you doing, being happy? dont you realize how fucked you are? what is wrong with you, Kamala? dont you know that joy is not a strategy?

Tiedrich is just getting started here. The real target of his rant is the media who carefully geared their comments into selectively criticizing (fact-checking etc.) the Dems Convention, while they did no such thing for the Repukes' Convention.
He makes some good points about how Kamala handled the press and their demands for interviews, and much more. Please read the rest on Tiedrich's blog, "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

(6,650 posts)1. One thing worries me about Jeff.
At the rate he goes through the word "fuck," eventually we're going to run out of the entire supply and there won't any for the rest of us.

He seems to speak to the young, hip, and slightly cynical among us. But he's a true-blue Democrat and he absolutely hates Chump. So I guess I can tolerate his language for the time being.

(6,650 posts)3. Oh, the language doesn't bother me.
I've been known to sound like him many times.
