"WHAT
IS A JOURNALIST?" This question was posed at a far-right MAGA blog. Obviously only "politically correct" answers were allowed.
But I couldn't resist and replied in my usual manner.
Yes, now we're clear.
"Good journalist" = anyone praising and shilling for Trump.
"Bad Journalist" = anyone reporting facts Trump doesn't want reported
"Good blogger" = anyone deleting a "bad journalist".
This
is how we know for certain Democrats are communists, protestors are paid
communists, “bad journalists” are the “enemy of the people”, Biden stole the
2020 election, and they're eating the dogs in Springfield.
(And obviously my response wasn't published.)
This inspired me to raise a few questions of my own.
Here are just a few such queries that a justice and democracy-supporting patriot would ask, but a Criminal President, his regime, and his supporters don't want to answer.
What kind of regime labels protestors as "domestic terrorists", the press as "the enemy of the people", educators as "communists", and political opponents as the "enemy within"?
What kind of leader orders his politicized law enforcement agency to arrest anyone he hates, including the former Black President?
What kind of leader throws non-violent people into concentration camps who committed fewer crimes than the leader?
And what kind of person supports that regime? What kind of person will ignore or not respond to these questions?
Perhaps
a look in the mirror would offer an answer for those fanatic followers of their malevolent mendacious messiah.
Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz (D) held up a metaphorical mirror for Republicans at Jack Smith's House Judiciary Committee hearing on January 22nd.
~~~
Here are some quotes. 'Cause I heard one of my colleagues call you (Smith) a hypocrite. Here are some quotes from my colleagues.
Chairman Jordan, right after January 6th, "Stop the violence, support Capitol Police."
Ted Cruz, "Those storming the Capitol need to stop right now. The Constitution protects, but not violence."
Chip Roy, "Today the people's House was attacked, which is an attack on the Republic itself."
Steve Scalise, "United States Capitol Police saved my life."
Lindsey Graham, "When it comes to accountability, the president needs to understand his actions were the problem."
Troy Nehls, oh my God, him again. "I'm happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with Capitol Police."
Darrell Issa, "The violence and turmoil we witnessed in Washington, D.C. was completely unacceptable."
Rep. McClintock, "The attack on Capitol strikes the most sacred act of our democracy."
And former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, whose name we heard a lot today, what did he have to say about it? "Let me be clear, last week's violence attack on the Capitol was undemocratic, un-American, and criminal. And make no mistake, those who were responsible should be brought to justice."
The president bears responsibility! Period. Or exclamation point.
But let's talk also about, you know, the present. That's the past. Let's talk about the present. These are the guys who created the weaponization committee for the DOJ. So let's talk about the present.
Jerome Powell facing investigation, okay? In fact, we heard about Jonathan Turley, that he's some legal messiah. Jonathan Turley calls the Jerome Powell thing "legitimate concerns of retaliation."
Lisa Cook, under investigation. Mark Kelly, United States Senator, under investigation. Adam Schiff, United States Senator, under investigation.
Eric Swalwell, United States Representative, under investigation. Chris Christie, potentially under investigation.
Jack Smith. Oh, that's you! Under investigation. Okay, Miles Taylor, former chief of staff United United States Department of Homeland Security, under investigation. Christopher Krebs, former director of cyber security, under investigation.
Indicted, James Comey, Leticia James, John Bolton. It's weird that they indicted John Bolton but stole his foreign policy. Accused of crimes, former President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama.
Revoked or threatened with revocation of Secret Service protection, Kamala Harris, Hunter Biden, Ashley Biden, the daughter of President Joe Biden, Mayorkas, Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, General Mark Milley, John Bolton, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the guy Trump gave a medal to.
Security clearance revoked Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Jacob Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, Andrew Weisman, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Miles Taylor.
I can keep going any questions about any of that?
~~~
Thank you, Representative Moskowitz.
One answer and the most generous characterization we can offer to the kind of person who supports that regime is, "Hypocrite".
As for what kind of person the Criminal President is, well, the facts and evidence make it abundantly clear. For that answer I refer the gentle reader to my previous assessments.
For holding a mirror to Republicans, Jared Moskowitz has earned a "Dave Dubya Handshake". (The Great British Baking Show fans will get the reference.)

The ignorance and evil that drives it has permeated the Amerikan right in general and the weblog you refered to specifically for sure.
It's vessel of Maya and hate, Donald Trump, has served the hate of the rightwing fascists well. Eventually though the vessel will spring leaks and the hate it encapsulates will be sunk.
It cannot happen soon enough!
Minnesota Protester casually admits to Laura Ingraham that she is getting Paid.
So now we know exactly what we were thinking in the first place!
These Leftard's are getting money from the Democratic party and the public.
They're using it to interfere with federal law enforcement, and train others to interfere.
The Leftards are protecting the gang bangers, the human traffickers, the child rapists, and the drug dealers, and all the other undesirable grifters, and with the public’s money!
Yes,That is Correct.
We're getting raped, literally in some cases. And our wallets are getting raped.
All at the same time by the people with the least integrity in the country.
Gosh, don’t just makes you feel special, doesn't it? And you can’t tell me that Tampon Tim didn’t know it!
FRIENDS, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THESE LYING LEFTIST. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING IN MINNESOTA ARE
"PAID AGITATORS”" a paid agitator refers to individuals that are compensated to incite, stir up public unrest, or create disruption at protests, rallies, or political events. The term suggests these people are NOT genuinely passionate activists, but rather, they are professional provocateurs meant to provoke conflict. It is often used to discredit opposition movement
"Bill" began a rather long diatribe with this paragraph, with points I happen to share.
"In a country built on free speech, the right to all religious freedoms, liberty, and the right to assemble, what do you do when a few “Bad Guys” slip through the cracks, preaching the overthrow of your government and the enslavement of your way of life? These aren’t shadowy figures hiding in caves—they’re bold, unapologetic agitators who exploit our openness to plot our downfall. And let’s be crystal clear: we’re talking about radical ideologies that cloak themselves in faith, demanding submission while rejecting everything that makes America great. For too long, we’ve played nice, pretending this isn’t a war on our values. But the time for naivety is over."
Sounds a lot like Christian Nationalism and it's Trumpist political machinery.
Then he invoked 9-11. From then on it was sheer anti-Muslim bigotry. Sorry, Bill, you need to take that crap to a white nationalist MAGA site.
What Bill doesn't want to admit is since 9-11 the vast majority of lethal political violence in the US was committed by WHITE AMERICAN fanatics on the Right.
Les,
I'm afraid it will get worse before it gets better, if that is even possible.
Somehow we need to endure, overcome, and defeat the darkness of MAGA and oligarchy.
When the news media is owned and controlled by oligarchs and fascists information will be limited to what the powerful want us to see. Disinformation will continue and expand since it was such an success in installing Trump,
The next two elections must survive Trump's interference with his politicized law enforcement and military corrupting elections and intimidating and suppressing voters.
And there's no way I can imagine JD Vance certifying the 2028 election that would allow a Democratic President back into the White House.
I fear the worst is yet to come.
Hi, Vic.
The only paid agitators are the ICE thugs. You have no evidence to support your MAGA bullshit lies.
You're a gullible sucker for that crap. Since Trump's word is your gospel, you don't need actual evidence.
Con,
As if Laura Ingraham is an honest person. LOL! Notice she didn't ask the woman who was paying her, or if she was kidding. If she was being paid "right now" she is likely taking a paid vacation day.
But idiots will assume this is "evidence" that all protestors are "being paid".
Speaking of paid protestors, did you know this?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/aerial-journalism/2022/06/17/trump-paid-millions-january-6-organizers-report/7658737001/
Political operations linked to former President Donald Trump and the GOP gave millions to those that organized the Jan. 6 rally before a mob of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, according to a watchdog group.
OpenSecrets, a non-profit research group that focuses on campaign finance, found that Trump's political network and other Republican Party groups gave at least $12.6 million to the organizers since the 2020 election cycle began.
Nobody on the left has a problem with deporting violent criminal immigrants, as you fully support locking up and terrorizing five-year old children.
We don't PRAISE and PARDON thugs for terrorizing Congress and beating cops bloody to overturn a fair election.
Your hate is nothing new. Your lies and smears are lifted from the Nazi playbook.
You're too stupid to know TRUMP is protecting PEDOPHILES and HUMAN TRAFICKERS like Ghislaine Maxwell and the Epstein rapists.
You don't give a damn that your messiah is pardoning cocaine kingpins and violent thugs. You're probably aroused at the images of non-violent Americans being murdered by ICE.

This is REALLY HYSTERICAL, i ALWAYS KNOW THAT you WERE A BIT (SHALL WE SAY) nuts BUT THIS IS REALLY from something affected by some uncontrolled extreme reason of someone who has had TOO MUCH TO DRINK, or someone under the control by a subhuman ! Proof of that you ask? Well maybe you need a bit of waking up from that shit you've been reading, or hearing!
Laura Ingraham is one of the most honest persons in the News Business there is!
Who else would I believe Kamala Harris, Joe Bydumb, or maybe Gavin Newscum?
Just because Anonymous BELIEVES lies doesn't make them true.
LIES from Ingraham posted by politifact:
"The 90 percent statistic of supporting background checks, (Firearm purchases) that's been debunked." (National polls conducted in 2015 consistently show that around 90 percent of Americans support some sort of expanded background checks for gun purchases.)

Anonymous,
You have no EVIDENCE.
But who needs that when Trump's word is your gospel? Say, are they still "eating the dogs in Springfield"? You have as much evidence of that as you do of protestors being paid.
ICE are the paid thugs. You are duped.
Dave, related to Springfield... remember the words of then VP candidate Vance... “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
Translation... If I have to lie to make my point., it's okay, because the ends justify the means. Which, as we know, is pretty much the ethos of the Trump Admin.
Dave,
Yup. This is why I've been saying this for years.
If they don't like being compared to Nazis maybe they should stop acting like Nazis.
That us why I never view MSM outlets anymore. I prefer, for reasons you've cited, independent non aligned media sources. And the moment I detect right wing leanings I leave and don't return. Right wing today is simply bullshit every day in support of fascism and Amerika's Fuhrer, Donald Trump and Project 2025.
I'm sure someone from the MAGA group here can provide a link that refutes what I posted. I mean, if I'm wrong and the quote is not genuine, I'm sure proof of that is all over the net.
Dave,
While MAGAts see themselves as tough "real Americans", we see them for what they are. They're willfully ignorant and duped sheep lapping up the lies, hate, and fear-mongering fed to them by their authoritarian leaders.
They have taught us one thing, though. Americans are as susceptible, or even more eager, to fall for a racist criminal leader like Germans were in the 1930s.
Anyone especially Americans that feels a need to mention the NAZI'S in almost all of their comments is really an IDIOT, a POOR EXCUSE for an AMERICAN, or a SICK BASTARD like you are Mr. Dave Dubys.
Dave, here's what President Trump said about the upcoming Texas special election last week... “My very good friend, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, needs a strong conservative Republican in SD-9 to KEEP TEXAS RED!”
Then he wrote this... “The Radical Left Democrats are spending a fortune to beat a true MAGA Warrior, Leigh Wambsganss. You can win this Election for Leigh, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Once that candidate got crushed in the election, and he was asked about endorsing a LOSING candidate, he said "I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where? I'm not involved in that. That's a local Texas race. I had nothing to do with it."
Also, on election day, he repeated his endorsement, urging people to get out and vote for Wambsganss, called her an "incredible supporter of our movement" and a "true MAGA warrior".
Call my comment "Quote and Questions", for our conservative friends...
President Trump made two contradictory statements about the Texas Special Election, where his endorsed GOP MAGA candidate was crushed.
Can they both be true? Not. At. All.
Was he lying when he said he knew nothing about her? Or...
Was President Trump lying when he endorsed her, calling her an "incredible MAGA warrior"?
You see Victor, all you anons, Con from GA and the rest of you MAGA trolls, either Trump lied, or his brain is so addled, he can't remember what he does from one week to the next.
Either way, this makes our President look lost, or to be a serial liar.
Last question...
Which one is it... liar or demented?
I sure hope it's not both!
JMO,
Your weak-minded opinion is born of hate and ignorance, and isn't grounded in reality
IF you read my original post you won't find the word Nazi in it.
BUT YOU DON'T READ WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO LEARN!
If you MAGAts don't like being compared to Nazis, STOP ACTING LIKE THEM!!
One other FACT you neo-Nazis don't want to learn is MOST ("poor excuses" of) AMERICANS DISAPPROVE OF TRUMP!
Trump’s approval rate is FALLING.
Combined polls Trump Approval Rating:
Disapprove – 55.5%
Approve – 41.0%
On Immigration:
Disapprove – 53.2%
Approve – 42.4%
Even LOWER rates apply to trade, the economy, and inflation.

I'd suggest you read some history of Europe in the last century, but clearly YOU DON'T READ!
Dave,
Rhetorical questions, I'm sure. MAGAts HATE answering questions. It requires too much thought. Parroting hate and lies is their MO.
Oh Dave, they'll answer questions, but always with a "what about" or "Biden/Obama/Clinton did this so...".
I think both you and I can admit the last three Dem presidents, Clinton, Obama and Biden made mistakes. If they broke the law, of which currently, there is no evidence, or because of the recent SCOTUS ruling on immunity, no way we can charge them, so be it. Bring charges if one can, impanel a jury and let's have a trial. As we did with Trump.
The problem is this... trials require, you know, actual evidence. And to date, no one has brought any credible evidence to the table with those three. And it's not for lack of trying, idiocy on the part of the GOP or because the Dems are sneakier, as some charge. It's because there is no criminal evidence to be found.
This is why my favorite unanswered question for MAGAts is, "Where is the evidence?".
Nothing shuts them down faster than that one. They can only deflect, insult, or slither away.
The "presidential immunity" favor from Trump's defence team on the Supreme Court could be the greatest and most fatal of decision for the republic ever made.
It was an unconstitutional travesty and betrayal that has wrought unprecedented crime, corruption and destruction of our rule of law and structure of the federal government.
MAGA needs no evidence as they believe their Fuhrer Trump was sent by Jesus/god to "save" America. Nothing but their Evangelical Empire Christianity with its Prosperity Gospel, Project 2025, anti women and LGBTQ rights agenda matters to them. Anythig and Everything thing else is Satan's (there is no Satan in reality) attempt to lead the nation astray.
They are simply nuts as they worship Maya and their filthy Fuhrer Trump.
Les,
It's bad enough that Trump has a cult of raging dupes and authoritarians, but the greater evil is in the Republicans who know it's a cult based on lies and hate, but pander to Trump out of their own greed and lust for power.
And that was only a partial list of quotes from them that Moskowitz provided.
This is a darkness that will not recede soon.
Sure gets quiet here Dave when us crazies ask for facts, doesn't it?
I've got a few more quotes and questions for the trolls...
A Quote from Wash. DC US Attorney Jeanne Pirro... "You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail... "I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding gun owner somewhere else."
Question for the MAGA lovers... How does this line up with our Constitution and our Second Amendment Rights? Are you comfortable with this stance from the Trump Admin?
A Quote from FBI Director Kash Patel... "You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple."
How about it MAGA lovers? Do you support the Administration in this? Or are the acting against the Constitution?
Again, are these statements from Trump Admin leaders true? Or are they wrong or lies? If the people who made these statements are wrong, should they be removed from their offices for not upholding our Constitution?
And if these statement by the Trump Admin are true, have 2A supporters for years been wrong themselves in their interpretation of the Constitution?
Bring real evidence to back up your claims.
If you can find any....
The MAGA neo-Nazis are all fine with Kyle "patriot" Rittenhouse taking a rifle to a protest, but when Alex "domestic terrorist" Pretti simply possesses one, was beaten, disarmed by force, and executed by multiple shots in back while on the ground unarmed, the rules change.
Yup. That passes the "Nazi Test". They fear and smear people of color, as well as armed white liberals. I have NO doubt there are THOUSANDS of them who would gladly start shooting Democrats if Trump told them to do it.
Just don't compare them to Nazis. That's "hateful".
Yeah... the Rittenhouse affair is interesting. Check the date of his trial and verdict. Then search the blogs of our conservative MAGA friends and see how they celebrated his innocence for shooting those ppl, in the middle of a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Conservatives then, in 2020, believed a person had a right to bring not only a loaded rifle to a protest, but to shoot people who posed him no danger.
Now all those folks, including our trolls. are strangely silent.
And not a one of one has the courage, or intelligence to explain that contradiction. Because they can't!
There simply is no way to explain the actions of the right towards Rittenhouse and the blatant dismissal of the Constitution by our Dep Director of the FBI, the US Atty in DC and VP Vance as it relates to gun ownership/possession.
Unless of course, you know, people are honest, and just say it's politics.
Hey DICK-FACE, You don’t seem to understand, that you shouldn’t Compare or even just use the NAZI name in any posts or comments for any reason at all.
But you are to FREAKING STUPID to get that info you dumb ass head!
Anonymous,
Thanks for demonstrating how Nazis talked to Jews and for dictating which words I can't use!
What kind of person would approve of a leader who calls journalists the "enemy of the people", who calls opponents "the enemy within", instigates a coup to overturn an election, praises and pardons thugs who beat cops bloody to overturn an election, dictates what colleges can teach, dictates what museums can display, dictates what news can be reported, dictates what entertainers may say, builds an unaccountable murderous secret police force, and throws non-violent people into unsanitary brutal concentration camps where they have to sleep on cement?
If you don't like being compared to Nazis, stop acting like a Nazi.
Like the hateful lying fascists they are, MAGAts can't be expected to engage in civil rational discourse. They can only spew hate and lies.
Dave, your anon troll of the day is quite a jewel. I bet he or she lives in Siberia and bangs this stuff all night as the cold sets in.
Hey anon... evidence to refute anything we've said? Or just blather because you're afraid to really enter into a conversation or engage in give and take? We're not unreasonable, just bring some verifiable facts to support an argument...
Dave, I picture a white Southern MAGA "Christian" racist too hateful, stupid and incurious to care for facts.
