Excellent article. I laughed at my grandfather when he yelled at the TV -- he hated Ronald Reagan with a passion. Now I find myself doing the same thing when Lester Holt starts another "expose" about Joe Biden's failures. I blame Lester and his fellow TV celebrities for the Trump presidency because they treated an idiot like a real candidate. Now they seem determined to bring Trump back.

All because Trump is insecure & attention-hungry which makes him an easy source of content for media outlets that fulfills the financial bottom line of their corporate owners.

They spent four years getting endless content from Girth, Wind & Liar's Twitter account, and the more inflammatory tweets led to their followers, subcribers, viewers & audiences into doomscrolling & doomwatching over what Butternut Berlusconi would say or do.

However, the more normal & competent Joe Biden isn't as insecure & attention-hungry compared to Dingus Con so that requires much more work & energy to get stories.

So, they've decided to focus on sensationalizing the Biden administration's faults and downplaying its successes. Once again creating the cycle of doomscrolling & doomwatching this time among Democratic or Democratic-leaning voters that a Republican House & Senate takeover is at hand in the upcoming midterms.

Anyone who comes up with Girth, Wind & Liar gets a click on the heart from me!

That’s from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Colbert doesn’t like to mention the former guy’s name so he gets nickname suggestions from his viewers on Twitter.

My Donald Trump doll is still on my desk, albeit in a coffin. I'm waiting to bury him in my daughter's backyard should nature cooperate.
