Today's Tiedrich rant: fuck the New York Post and the Republican Party - and Fox News, too



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/fuck-the-new-york-post-and-the-republican

what do you do if your guy is a narcoleptic gas-factory who just spent two entire months sleep-farting in a courtroom? what do you do if your guy is now a convicted felon and facing sentencing in three weeks? what do you do if your guy is in real danger of having to miss his party’s nominating convention because the judge could sentence him to home confinement — or worse, jail?.... (snip)

what do you do? it’s a no-brainer: you lie your fucking face off about the other guy.

Joe Biden was in Italy last week for a G7 meeting. the Republican National Committee’s official twitter account posted this clip of the G7 leaders taking in a skydiving exhibition.



what we see in this clip is pretty fucking alarming — because holy shit, it appears to show Sleepy Brandon wandering off and giving a thumb’s up to nobody — and needing to be fetched back to reality by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. that clip would be alarming, if it were true — but it’s not. it’s been deceptively cropped.

here’s the full, unedited video:

Length 14:00 - closed captions not available but unnecessary


Tiedrich's rant is about the cheap, crappy editing of a skydiving demonstration that took place in Italy last week. New York Post should be ashamed of themselves, they selected a few unimportant moments and made Joe Biden look like a foolish old man. Triedrich shows that it was completely not the case.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with Bullshit..........

Trump's mouth is a manure factory.....He can't help himself, he is a pathological liar, a psychopath, a sadist, and a delusional
narcisist......He qualified for the 25th amendment the minute he took office.

Far worse than him, are the 70+million voters who think he is a re-incarnated GOD.........

Brought Alex Jones down to earth at least monetarily. So many fucking lies delivered by lots of real people. Bots and AI are another animal. In those cases whoever created should be held accountable. This shit is rampant and consequences are far ranging. Lives are be being ruined and wars can start this way.

The media is complicit in leading our country into a desperate situation where we have to fight to save ourselves. They sure as hell aren't helping us any. I think I will blame them the most for not putting journalistic integrity before profits.

As Tiedrich would say, "Fuck them". (And he does say that a lot.)
