Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) tried to assist the media with a listing of 9 questions that ought to be requested of a presidential candidate, and it’s a listing filled with questions that get to the character of a presidential candidate and oddly have principally been ignored by the media.
1) Ever bang a porn star?
2) Ever bribe one?
3) Been impeached?
4) Consumed by revenge?
5) Vow to pardon Jan. sixth insurrectionists?
6) Pay a $25M wonderful for some shitty school?
7) Promise to be a dictator?
8) Ever destroy Roe?
9) Ever beat Trump?
Fetterman posted this checklist above a Politico article in regards to the “9 questions” ABC’s George Stephanopoulos ought to ask the President.
Unrelated to the ABC interview, which appeared intentionally targeted on addressing the questions of the beltway press greater than the considerations of American voters, we’re at present watching the beltway media redo 2016 — however on steroids.
However the beltway press won’t be glad, as a result of it doesn’t matter what Joe Biden does, he won’t be the money cow that’s Donald Trump. He won’t give them the fact TV present they want.
They have been obsessive about then presidential candidate and Secretary Hillary Clinton’s emails and her pneumonia; their palpable contempt for her coloured the reporting. Trump skated by with free press and promotion, despite the fact that he did not articulate clear coverage plans apart from altering the RNC’s platform to assist Russia. Actually by now the beltway press ought to have extra cause to really feel as they did about Clinton about Donald Trump, an adjudicated rapist and con artist who was discovered responsible of 34 felonies by a jury of his friends. And but, they don’t.
Actually if presidential capacity have been actually the difficulty, an “goal” media would take a look at these two candidates and understand that nevertheless a lot Biden stumbles over his phrases because of his lifelong stutter, he’s at present working this nation and his time period, not even completed but, has already been graded by presidential specialists on the high of the checklist, whereas Donald Trump has acquired the bottom grade.
How come we’re not getting entrance web page freak outs about Trump, the person caught on tape bragging about sexual assault, being an adjudicated rapist with a string of credible accusations as well?
Why isn’t the beltway moved in collective horror towards Trump’s “dictator” for a day remark, alongside along with his refusal to say he’d honor the outcomes of the election, realizing as all of them do this the plans for his administration through Undertaking 2025 are the tip of this “nice experiment” in self-governance?
Maybe the media is just a mirrored image of what we’ve change into as a nation (due to different media decisions, paradoxically or maybe most completely made as a kick to organized labor), a superficial physique hooked on actuality TV exhibits and selecting a president primarily based on who survives on the island: Who’s probably the most grasping, who’s one of the best predator, who’s probably the most egocentric.
Fetterman’s final level about “Ever beat Trump” is the purpose that ought to be pushed house for Democrats who’re serving to a wanna be dictator with their behind the scenes strikes for energy, which they’re too cowardly to place their names to.
Joe Biden would possibly stutter and he’s previous. He’s additionally a fantastic president, very similar to FDR, who additionally struggled with a incapacity that additionally didn’t damage his capacity to run the nation one bit.
Joe Biden additionally beat Trump in 2020. He did what different Democrats couldn’t and didn’t, as a result of Joe Biden is a singular mix of the proper candidate to beat a wannabe dictator.
Biden is understood to the general public after a lifetime of public service, and so can’t be smeared with the standard fear-mongering lie machine. He has an unimpeachable private character, on show for us all proper now as he didn’t intrude when his personal DOJ prosecuted his son for one thing most others will not be prosecuted for. He was within the White Home for 8 years as a Vice President as effectively, and President Obama entrusted him with duties that helped form Biden into the person who entered the White Home in 2021 prepared to assist a nation struggling below the load of a violence-inciting dictator’s tried coup and a worldwide pandemic that Trump dealt with by dividing the nation much more, taking pandemic assets away from blue states and handing them out like rewards to loyalists.
The nation noticed that having a petty small man like Trump for a president was lethal.
Fetterman is main the best way ahead for Democrats. The election is about Joe Biden’s character. It’s about Donald Trump’s character. It’s about presidential capacity. It’s about intentions. It’s about respect for this nation.
It’s additionally about who beat the dictator-in-waiting already.
