01) Trump: John McCain Was A “Loser,” Not a War Hero
“Trump attacks people who reported that he said soldiers are “losers” and “suckers.”
President Donald Trump delivered a lengthy, rambling denial of the bombshell Atlantic story on his alleged denigration of U.S. war dead that included calling the sources of those allegations — some of whom are military members themselves — “lowlifes and liars.”
On Thursday night, Trump responded to the now-multiple stories detailing his alleged remarks with a remarkable unlit tirade on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews that included relitigating the public arrangements for deceased Senator John McCain’s memorial and attacking the sources of the reports.
01) The Establishment Crying Over Joe Kennedy’s Loss to Ed Markey
“Democratic strategists are in shock over Joe Kennedy’s loss to Ed Markey.
The question seemed to trail him everywhere, from the day Joe Kennedy announced he’d challenge Sen. Ed Markey in the Democratic primary to the final hours of the campaign: Why are you running?
In a year of campaigning across Massachusetts, Kennedy never seemed to come up with a satisfactory answer. In the end, he simply gave up trying.
It’s hard to put into adequate words, what it’s meant to me as a homosexual pedophile…to have had the freedom to express myself outwardly into the world, explicitly regarding this existence…and my experiences within it.
It’s helped me to make sense of life…
…It’s helped me tremendously, to work through my own issues…and form my own, good ethics…
It’s helped me to grow…evolve…understand.
…It’s helped me put a face onto this existence…as well as various concepts…
It has helped me see the reality, concealed by the stigma.
…It’s helped me understand how cruel this world is…and…how undying hope continues to fight back.
…I’ve met some of the greatest people, along this journey.
I would not trade this existence, nor this journey, for anything.
Some may say to me…that I should feel shame over myself…over all that I have done here…
…But, seriously…Why should I?…
Presumably…they [and you] have and exercise the ability, to talk about and discuss the issues of your own life…
…I have merely been doing the exact same thing, as anybody else does.
We are not all the same…
…It’s when you encounter people like me…that you come to realize what equal rights actually mean…
There is a reason I started the Equality Foundation…and chose that name…
…My writings and media, are an embodiment of my own equal rights.
01) Cuties director ‘received death threats’ over Netflix film poster
“The director of Cuties has said she received death threats after a promotional poster for the film was criticised for sexualising children.
Netflix apologised and removed the image after receiving significant backlash on social media last month.
Filmmaker Maïmouna Doucouré has now told Deadline she “received numerous death threats” over the poster.
She said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos phoned her directly to apologise after the poster sparked controversy.
Cuties originally premiered at the Sundance film festival in January and received positive reviews from critics.
…
Cuties follows an 11-year-old who joins a dance group. Doucouré says it is meant to tackle the issue of sexualisation of young girls.
Netflix showed girls posing in skimpy outfits in its promotional poster for the award-winning French drama, which sparked online disapproval and a petition calling for Netflix to drop the film.
However, many defended the movie and said Netflix had not accurately represented it in the poster.”
We fight, because they will have every other thing under the sun censored, and stay emboldened to threaten the lives of others, if nobody with at least half a lick of common sense ever stands up to them.
This whole fiasco is incredibly stupid…
…There are many people out there, who should be deeply ashamed and embarrassed of themselves.
“Donald Trump is legally screwed after he leaves office. John Iadarola and Dave Levinthal break it down on The Damage Report.
The report by special counsel Robert Mueller over possible ties between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia has been published, and the president himself feels exonerated.
But there are other legal troubles dogging his presidency, family and businesses.
In New York and Washington, the list of inquiries into the Trump world is expanding – any of which could produce serious headaches for the president.
Here’s a look at the latest collection of eyeballs scrutinising the president – and what it all could mean.
CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter called on the anonymous sources featured in The Atlantic’s bombshell report on President Donald Trump making disparaging remarks about Americans who fought in war to come forward.
CNN anchor Don Lemon spoke with Stelter about the report, in which sources said Trump repeatedly called Americans who died at war “losers.” Lemon noted the White House and Trump fiercely denied the reporting.
Trump on Thursday night gave a lengthy tarmac denial, billing it as “a total lie,” “fake news” and “a disgrace.” He also maintained that he never called John McCain a “loser,” which is false.
01) Fox News Confirms Trump Called Veterans “Suckers” and “Losers”
“A Fox News reporter has confirmed that Trump called U.S. soldiers “suckers” and “losers.”
Fox News spent a chunk of its Friday coverage dismissing a report in The Atlantic saying President Donald Trump belittled fallen military members by calling them “suckers” and “losers.”
Then Jennifer Griffin, a national security correspondent for the network, said in a lengthy Twitter thread that former Trump administration officials confirmed the president’s remarks to her.
The Atlantic article cited anonymous sources — which Fox News said suggested the article had been falsified — but two former senior Trump administration officials verified the president’s disparaging comments to Griffin, she said.
“Ex-Disney star Bella Thorne says she’s ’truly sorry’ to OnlyFan sex workers after ignorant usage of the site. John Iadarola and Lindsey Ellefson break it down on The Damage Report.
Bella Thorne apologized Saturday for the negative impact her OnlyFans account had on sex workers who were already using the paid subscription site to sell photos and adult videos, explaining that her intent was to “normalize the stigmas” around sex.
“Remove the stigma behind sex, sex work, and the negativity that surrounds the word SEX itself by bringing a mainstream face to it,” the actress wrote on Twitter. “That’s what I was trying to do, to help bring more faces to the site to create more revenue for content creators on the site.”
She went on, “I wanted to bring attention to the site, the more people on the site the more likely of a chance to normalize the stigmas, And in trying to do this I hurt you. I have risked my career a few times to remove the stigma behind sex work, porn, and the natural hatred people spew behind anything sex related. I wrote and directed a porn against the high brows of my peers and managers because I WANTED to help with the stigma behind sex.”
01) Former Trump Voters Admit He’s Actually Destroyed The Country
“Last week, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota spoke with a panel of former Trump supporters, and some were far more candid than others and actually admitted that the President has destroyed the country in a way that they never thought possible. And this is the great irony of the Trump administration. Republicans have told us for years that liberals would destroy the country, and as soon as they get power back they actually do what they accused us of doing for a decade. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Last week CNNs, Alison Camerata spoke with a panel of former 2016, Donald Trump voters. All of them happen to be suburban, uh, women that, that demographic, that Donald Trump’s swears is totally gonna vote for him. And, uh, they all kind of told the same story. And this actually happened two weeks ago, as well with CNN held a panel with these former Trump supporting white suburban women. And they have abandoned him, but one of them actually said something and that’s kind of what I want to talk about right now. And she said that Trump has destroyed the country in a way that no other president has done before. She was shocked at the amount of devastation, the amount of damage that Donald Trump has actually done to this country in just four short years.
That statement is why Donald Trump’s claims of Joe Biden, unleashing anarchy, and only trumping able to keep you safe. That statement is why Donald Trump’s, you know, fear-mongering, isn’t resonating as much as it usually would with these voters. He’s the one who causes the chaos. He is an agent of chaos. He rebels in it. He enjoys it. He encourages it. And the voters, at least some of them, you know, we don’t really know yet how widespread these feelings are, but some of them totally understand it. They get it. And that’s not even the most important part. The most important part is the irony of it. All. We have gone through
Decades, decades
Of Republican candidates for house Senate and president telling us that if we elect the liberal, if we elect their opponent, that person is going to single handedly, destroy this country. As we know it, it’ll never be the same. The country, you know, the country you love will be dead and you might be too. They they’ve told us that. And Matt Gates told us that at the Republican convention last week, he said, if you vote for Biden, boom, you’re going to have a [inaudible] moving next door to you. Well, turns out it’s, it’s the Republicans. They’re the ones who have actually been destroying this country. As we know it, none of the dire predictions that Republicans have been making for decades have ever come true. You know, did you just, the widespread abortions everywhere, an abortion clinic on every corner never happened. In fact, abortions actually go down.
When Democrats are in charge, that’s quite an amazing statistic. When Republicans are in office abortions, go up, they’ve never come door to door, confiscating your guns. Even though we’ve been hearing that for decades and my whole life Republicans have been saying, Democrats, coming door to door to take your guns. It’s never happened. Never death panels. Well, we have them now actually had to cause the cause the pandemic, we had doctors and nurses and hospital corporations having to get together to decide which person’s going to get the last ventilator who lives, who dies. It’s a death panel. The thing Republican said, Republicans said, excuse me, Democrats would do. Uh, they, they actually cause to happen here in the United States, all of the big, horrible, bad things, you know, Democrats are gonna trash. The constitution Democrats are gonna take away your rights. All of those horrible things they said would happen under Democrats have happened under Trump, your losing your rights.”
