Hands are still too big
This is great! Where was this taken?
Mamdani went on a visit to a kindergarten class with Ms. Rachel a few months ago. The babies on the bus are going wah-wah-wah.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.
You usually don’t broadcast things that don’t qualify as newsworthy.
Ope, too bad nobody was listening when you said that!
His sycophants were alllll ears
From the same person who threatened to take away broadcast license from networks who broadcasted his pedo-ass getting manhandled in the debate against Harris.
...and when the couch-fucker got "fact checked" in his debate
In their defense, it was very boring. The white house hyped it up like he was going to drop a bomb, but it was just the same speech he always does
Just trying to stir up trouble before the election, like usual. Remember when "The Caravan" was coming to America, THOUSANDS of blood-thirsty south-of-the-border thugs coming to rape, pillage, and murder?
Then the election happened, and he never mentioned it again, and The Caravan just melted away.
This time the boogeyman is the Chinese, because he can't blame the real problem, Russia, because he KNOWS they were involved, and can implicate him.
I think we should do deep investigations into the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, leave no stone unturned, spare no expense, and make it all public, and find out who REALLY has been manipulating our elections.
Oh, and do a Federal investigation into Florida elections while we're at it. They've been 100% rigged for years.

That's just it.
No substance, no air time. It eliminates having to fact check afterwards as well. Double win!

What about the Epstein files ? Already forgotten.
Another trumpertantrum. Of course the toddler says that.
That was their fact-checking filter. They already know that Trump lies whenever he opens his mouth or types something on "truth" social, so they proactively did not send it.
Yes, really, any station that broadcasts a Trump speech should get shut down for spreading misinformation.

Having a Cluster B in charge is fun. Isn’t this fun? The toxic branch of the DSM, the least capable of remission of the 4 (and never, at 80), and spiraling down into Dimentia. Who thought this was a good idea?
More than half of the American electorate.
And money-obsessed persons pushing for his election on any platform they own.

They didn't carry Obama's address on healthcare, they didn't carry Biden's address on the threat to democracy. What's good for the goose...
I just caught a goose this morning. Please continue, what is good for it.

The government dictating what is airing on television? Sounds like it's not a free country.
what a whiny bitch
Try not listening to him, like these broadcasters did. Nothing of value was lost.
I can smell the Freedom burning all the way over here
Government controlling private enterprise.
That’s socialism.
No its not, its fascism.
Luckily the president is in charge of the executive branch of the federal government and not private broadcasting networks. Right! Right?
Whine like a bitch about it, why don't you snowflake...?
Doesn't freedom include the right to NOT do something, and not to be forced to do something?
Not according to those fucktards. Keep in mind these same folks think that gays getting the right to exist and get married is an afront to their freedoms. And being told they shouldn't be homophobes is worse than how Nazis treated the Jews during WW2.
Bullying and lying should also come with penalties.
That's unfair. His primetime address was too big a load of bullshit for anyone to carry. No legs can lift that.
Better title :
"NBC, ABC and others see the lying Taco pedo as an explosive bullshit disease"
Freedom of the press, except when the press does something I dont like
Fox had to pay three quarters of a billion dollars for airing the same lies that Trump spewed in his speech. No network should be forced to take that risk.
Spicer: ‘A lot of negative comments’ from MAGA faithful after Trump address
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5973895-sean-spicer-trump-election-security/
well, good.
...because they wanted to see him go further and introduce a plan
The media was surprisingly responsible and didn't let him lie without fact checking this time. CBS showed part of it but spent a lot of time fact checking before and after. Too bad MAGA will spin it as censorship and say the networks were afraid to let Trump tell the truth
Barring PINO from the screen would protect everyone's sanity. A matter of global security.
What a feckless president, such an embarrassment.
what a whiny little snot
::yawn::
Isn’t it always claiming that these networks are completely failing? Why would it care if such failing networks covered its speech?
