Jim always seemed like a standup guy, and I appreciate what he went through in defense of his principles, but this is just dumb. Because this very definitely is who we are. Or at least, this is who 49.8% of American voters are, and they won, so, yeah, this is who we are.
We’re the bad guys now, Jim We’re a pariah nation now. To quote Rachael from “Batman Begins”, you may think we’re the same awesome country you thought we were long ago...
Of course, in the case of Batman, Bruce Wayne really was more than what he appeared to be His billionaire wastrel act…was an act. It was designed to disguise his real identity as a crimefighting vigilante.
In the case of Republican voters, the opposite is true.
They are so much less than the legacy media built them up to be. So much weaker and stupider. So much crueler and more racist. Which was always obvious to anyone who bothered to really look at what they were saying and doing. What they were voting for. Who they were watching and listening to. Who they hated.
So Jim, here’s a riddle for you.
Q: How was the legacy media and American fascism like Trump and COVID?
A: They both believed if they refused to count a potentially fatal problem, that meant problem really didn't exist.
Also, an apropos of nothing, my inbox is overflowing with former legacy media types and former Republicans whose Substacks I am following out of a sense of obligation. And it is fast becoming unmanageable, because
- I don't need three updates a day telling me what you're up to. I'm not your mommy of your parole officers. And especially...
- Most of their content is either telling me things I have already known for a long time, or conversations among A-list political media people who are only now discovering the horrible truth about the Republicans party that we Liberals have been writing about for decades.
As always...
I Am The Liberal Media

The United States has gone from a failed republic to a fascist oligarchy. It has become a monster devouring itself.
Who is AcoAcosta saying that to?
That, "this is not who we are"?
He has reported over the years like so many that America is divided. That both sides do it when it pertains to republican corrupt behavior.
Republicans are like that. Siding with Putin means joining what America used to call the Axis of Evil.
We are now aligned with Russia as far as republicans are concerned. Guess they like the idea of the Russian DOMA where they are permanently in office to give the peons a semblance of democracy delusion.
GOP jasn;t figued out how to sell their new found ideology with Russia means, We side with Iran and N. Korea. That our American military wil defend them and die for them.
Beware S. Korea. Taiwan.
How does Israel fit into this alliance? Trump might have to choose between Russia and Iran and Saudi or Israel. Although I think he already has.
Take their words of freedom is too expensive and hard for UDA when it comes to Ukraine. So why isn't it (yet) not too expensive to provide for Israel.
Like MAGA, will probably never figure out that the GOP does not represent them. That wealthy right wing billionaires have been funding brain washing of them for so long to make them "believe" not think of know) they are handing their freedoms and their religion over to their cult ruler.
I recall the GOP's attacks on Dems as being Washington as a separate disconnected government.
As GOP now meets behind closed doors at Trump golf resort and plots their hostilities/
Speaker Johnson sending out alert memos to not have in person town halls with constituents. These GOP officials now take their riders from Johnson over representing their district voters.
Right told us the left, the deep state is responsible for All bad. Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. Acosta and the media either both sided it or pass the lie on for all to hear.
They excused it be playing the rights game of no access unless.
As if their voices were worth it in exchange for their journalistic standards.
