SINKING SHIPS & CAPTAIN JESSE WATTERS?
 Zorek Richards
Wonkette reports: “And if you’re going to accuse someone of having sex with a couch, you better have video!” said Jesse, a weird guy. AND IF YOU HAVE VIDEO, YOU BETTER GIVE IT TO JESSE WATTERS! Dunno what he’ll do with it, probably something journalistic." Scary thing about this is that typical Jesse Watters, who also said today that "When a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman."🙄 Well, he said he heard it from a scientist. (No disclosure of which one since there is more than one scientist in the world....and he may be oblivious to that fact.) Fox News anchors must have one of the easiest jobs for people who claim to be journalists. They have nothing to research, or question, the just need to show up, make up some stupid stuff, report it, then go home. Watters observation about Kamala Harris is that she is a "radical lunatic" from California. If someone knew anything about radical lunatics, one might think that Watters would be the one to know. But, he doesn't know he's a lunatic and as long as he is getting paid for doing whatever it is he does....that's all that matters to him.
In a Monday night segment on Fox News, host Jesse Watters highlighted how Democrats such as Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and others are aligning in a “coordinated attack” that Trump’s vice presidential candidate is just plain weird. However, Watters just made a supercut that did nothing to push back on the talking point. As Rolling Stone points out, the host’s attempt to dispel the controversy by playing the compilation is the perfect example of the Streisand effect, or when you try to hide something but end up only drawing more attention to it. By highlighting the couch controversy and politicians calling the vice presidential candidate weird, Watters is only making the situation worse for Vance. To be clear, Vance did not have sex with a couch. But his off-putting nature may be a liability for the Trump campaign. Vance speaks with a forked tongue. But that doesnt stop him from speaking. If he has a sense of self-worth, it is small, and he has to make it up by talking and talking and talking..... July 21, 2024:
‘Unity?’ ABC’s Martha Raddatz Confronts Speaker Johnson With New Clips of Trump Trashing His Rivals as ‘Sick, Weak, Pathetic’ and ‘Crazy’ ABC’s Martha Raddatz confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Sunday about former President Donald Trump attacking his political rivals despite calling for unity following the assassination attempt against him on July 13. At the outset of a tenuous interview on ABC’s This Week, Raddatz played a supercut of Trump criticizing President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a rally in Michigan Saturday night. “I call her Laughin’ Kamala,” Trump said. “You ever watch her laugh? She’s crazy. She’s nuts. She’s not as crazy as Nancy Pelosi. Crazy Nancy.

But the famed screenwriter just might have topped himself with a brand new whopper that’s utterly impossible to fathom. In a Sunday op-ed for The New York Times — which is almost hard to believe isn’t parody — Sorkin called for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the 2024 ballot with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT). Yes, Mitt Romney. Sorkin’s argument is based on electability — as well as the premise that Democrats basically need to show how serious they are about not wanting former President Donald Trump back in office.

Fox Mocked For Unintentionally Hilarious Graphic Explaining What Trump Will 'Run On' After Shooting
Fox News was widely mocked after the network aired a graphic claiming that former President Donald Trump is pivoting his campaign message after the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. The graphic made the rounds after Trump announced in an interview with The Washington Examiner that he had revised his speech for this week’s Republican National Convention to emphasize unity following the assassination attempt. Trump said that had the event "not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredible speeches” focused predominantly on rebuking President Joe Biden and his policies.

Obama Knew Clooney Was Going to Call for Biden to Drop Out. He Didn’t Try to Stop Him
BEFORE PUBLISHING HIS bombshell op-ed in The New York Times, George Clooney reportedly sought counsel from a friend: former President Barack Obama. On Wednesday, the Academy Award-winning actor — and longtime Democrat — published an opinion piece in the Times
calling for President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign, and allow the party to select a replacement for November’s presidential ticket. The frank assessment of Biden’s mental and physical decline sent shockwaves through Democratic circles. Less than a month ago, Clooney had hosted a $30 million, star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles on Biden’s behalf. Obama and Biden had shared the stage for an interview conducted by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Slate: Jeff Bezos Could Save The Post (Again) - 7.9.24
|
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: Bezos vs. the British invasion. The Washington Post, like most legacy media outlets, can’t seem to catch a break. Right now, the newsroom is reeling under leadership changeups — and an editor who’s part of what appears to be a British invasion into American media leadership. It’s hard to imagine Jeff Bezos, a soon-to-be trillionaire, as anyone’s folk hero. When he bought the Post in 2013, many assumed his involvement would put the paper’s editorial integrity at risk. But could his active presence actually right the ship? Journalist and writer Brian Stelter joins us, apropos of his recent reporting for The Atlantic.

SINKING SHIPS & NUREMBURG II
Zorek Richards
Bill Maher name has been added to the growing list of people who have called on Biden to step aside: ‘My pick would be Gavin Newsom’. He added that following the debate, he and others can no longer “ignore the obvious” about Biden’s age. He urged the Democrats to hold an open National Convention, which could allow another candidate to be selected to replace Biden as the nominee. “Time To Stop F*cking Around”. If I was going to chooses a person to replace Biden I would probably pick Newsom also. But I think the better way is for Kamela Harris to take the reigns.
Rob Reiner Joins Major Donors Calling For Joe Biden To Step Down. "Major Donors" includes Reed Hastings (Netflix), Barry Diller (Paramount), Abigail Disney (Disney heiress), Damon Lindelof, Ari Emanuel (Endeavor CEO)...and to many others tio list here.
Meanwhile, The Maga GOP Led House Oversight Committee is looking to understand more about White House Physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor's role after conflicting statements on whether President Joe Biden received a cognitive test after his debate disaster. One really vial person that really needs to be voted out of congress with a great big KICK..is Marjorie Taylor Greene who isn't even pretending she cares (Because she doesn't) acts like some ghoul obsessing over the lives of people and wanting to drag everybody and everything in front the Maga GOP Nuremburg II Trials so she and her fellow Maga-Members can get sound bytes ridiculing them. She is truly a despicable person. If I thought for a minute she was a real Christian I would have left Christianity a long time ago rather than tolerate the clown show she puts on over and over and over.
Donald Trump ally Tom Fitton was hit with backlash on social media this weekend after he said sources told him that President Joe Biden will not only quit the campaign, but resign from his office entirely. Will Tom Fitton accurately be labeled a liar tomorrow? Considering his usual track record...propabably. Former DNC member Khary Penebaker said Fitton's “'sources' were like 'hey, let’s see what s--- we can make up and get Tom’s dumb a-- to say'!" Four more Congressional Democrats said Sunday afternoon during a phone call convened by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The four additional members speaking out are Reps. Adam Smith of Washington; Jerry Nadler of New York; Mark Takano of California; and Joe Morelle of New York.
Pollster Nate Silver is calling on Joe Biden to resign the presidency after his ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos. Not to just drop out of the 2024 election, but to resign as president of the United States and leave office. Silver is not exactly known as a right-leaning person, so this seems like kind of a big deal.
An article from liberal outlet The Atlantic called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and resign from office for the sake of saving American democracy.
The piece, written by Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer on Wednesday, demanded that Biden abdicate his office, making Vice President Kamala Harris president, as the recent debate raised questions about his mental decline. "Biden must resign … to give American democracy its best chance of surviving," Serwer wrote.

Ana Navarro ‘Disgusted’ by Calls for Biden to Step Down When Trump Is Not ‘Morally Fit to Serve’
Ana Navarro expressed her frustration with Democrats, the president’s own party, for calling on Joe Biden to bow out of the 2024 presidential election following his poor showing at last week’s debate against rival Donald Trump. To the “pundits and former Democratic elected officials” going on CNN to recommend that the 81-year-old president step down, she suggested, “Why don’t you call the f–king White House?” “I just have to say this: Democrats are their own worst enemy,” Navarro said, while also noting that it’s “fair” for people to want a different nominee. “The guy has served our country his entire lifetime, since he was like 28 years old. I think he’s earned the right to a little respect.”

BREAKING: MSNBC Hosts Report ‘Panicked’ Biden Inner Circle Discussing Dropping Out
Several MSNBC hosts reported on Thursday evening that members of President Joe Biden’s circle and the Democratic Party were “panicked” at his performance during the CNN debate against former President Donald Trump and were discussing what to do next. Following the debate, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow noted, “It was hard to hear what he was saying because his voice was so weak and his halting delivery in his first couple of answers has got to have put a shock into the campaign.” MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace then revealed, “I was on the phones for some of it after that became clear and there is a conversation happening inside Biden’s circle, and certainly a much more frank conversation happening inside the Democratic coalition, and I think there will be stories of a lot of concern about the performance tonight.”
