Tonight I decided to watch the RNC convention on CNN (I regularly like to hear the other sides point of view) and was I in for a treat watching Jake Tapper unravel in full TDS insanity. He started off by saying how callous it was that no one mentioned the looming hurricane and the white man who shot 2 protesters (albeit there are very few details of any sort. Even Wolf Blitzer and Dana bash had to point out that most of the speeches were taped and that the participants would have no way of knowing these events had transpired as they occurred in the future (the hurricane was a tropical storm just yesterday), not to be deterred Tapper went on to repeat this line 3 more times this evening. He followed this up by saying that Mike Pence gave an effective speech taking to task Joe Biden on his stances "that our fact checkers are sure to find many statements which are false". The panel went on to say that all economic gains have been lost due to Covid without any acknowledgment that the lockdowns which were meaningless contributed entirely to these losses and then in the following segment had the gall to say that the President should not have pushed to reopen. It is amazing how a journalist who was once the most credible in the business has delved so deep into TDS that he cannot even remotely pretend to be neutral in his disdain for the Republican party. Fake News indeed.
Jake Tapper Meltdown Live on TV
- Thread starter kamco360
- Start date
Told my secretary today that Dems and Libs are going to criticize Trump for giving an acceptance speech tomorrow on the same day Laura makes landfall. Found it funny that immediately after Pence killed it with his speech, CNN started posting their fake COVID numbers. Such a hoax. I wish all of the liberals and Dems were in Laura’s path tonight. God bless the people who actually are.
Shitty unChristian unAmerican classless statement.
I think trump would be wise to delay his speech to next week. Take charge after the storm and then crush it middle of next week and get a ratings bonanza for a second week. This will also allow some time for the polls to show Biden collapsing before he accepts.
The comment was tongue and cheek, you’re triggered again.
Oh you really got me there. Took you two posts to get it right. Having trouble reading?
Let him go, don’t deflate his sensitive spirit. He’s the second coming of MLK Jr, after all.
I’m triggered? LOL! Y’all mofos get mad if someone kneels during the anthem. Like personally mad. I can’t wait till my Canes take a knee...😂.
Gotta be kidding. The storm can be Managed and give a speech. One better, he will talk about how he will help the area in his speech.
Dems and media will call him insensitive, they are in a frenzy hoping this becomes a Katrina.
One of life's great pleasures is watching CNN on Nov 3rd.
Jake Tapper- media scum. - Not a journalist-boot licker of radical left.
I started watching Morning Joe in the mornings instead of CNBC stock channel this week to see how ridiculous they are. So this morning the said how could he do his speech tonight as the storm travels through the inland of Louisiana. It won't even be a tropical storm by 12:00 today.
Pffft.
NBA lost another fan last night.
What was the purpose of NOT playing???
We’re there discussions being held by players, movements started by them?
No, just hypocritical pituitary freaks, worried about $$$$$ when it came to China, now this?????
Enough already.
Trump wins in. A landslide BOOK IT!
Appreciate your sentiment, but the American public has the attention span of a gnat.
Kind of like Obama and Rahm Emmanuel ALWAYS and proudly had a lot to say purely political anytime their was ANY kind of Crisis. Google Rahm Emmanuel - You will see him him quoted for Never let a crisis got to waste.

I'm actually ok with them not playing to bring attention to their cause. It means a lot to them and it's not being disrespectful. People go on strike for this reason all the time. But kneeling for the national anthem doesn't fly with me, neither do BLM signs. Every player and coach today has social media and can say anything they want, anytime they want to. If they pollute the games with that stuff with fans present, it's not going to go so well.
I've had Orlando Magic season tix (4 seats) for almost 30 years. People like me don't protest or make a loud statements. All I can do is let me wallet walk and that's what I'll do. The NBA knows this and they must me freaking out over the implications politics at the game will have on their $$$.
Agreed Steve, however simply NOT playing is what pisses me off. They aren’t coming up with solutions, suggestions. These guys aren’t affected by this, they have $$$$$$ in bank, and have endorsement deals.
Walk off the court like other teams did, and come back and play.
NBA is gonna feel the economic impact of this for years to come.

NBA will become like the NHL and simply be a niche product. TV ratings are down over 50% during this playoff despite much less competition for viewership and in general less entertainment for people to consume. It took the NFL 3 years to recover from the ratings drop after Kaepernick and that was only 15%. If they cancel the season in protest I will bet that their next TV contract in 2023 will be reduced by billions. Lebron doesn't give a shit he will probably be pimping new merch made by slave labor by then in some other industry after he retires. Lebron's only gripe with slavery in the US is that he never had the chance to own them. He will just have settle for owning slaves vicariously through China.
NBA had the "Does Labron make the Lakers great" thing going on. That is gone. People tune into the NBA to see dunks, 3's and blocks. When that goes away and millionaires lecture the middle class about social inequity, people will tune out.
Media which makes huge money from sports content will soon figure out that people tune into to see Labron play basketball, not to hear his opinion on anything political. When the TV money stops, the Lakers will stop paying Lebron (and others) If Soros and the DNC want to pay Lebron, that is their business and they have every right to.
I would have tuned in to see a Lakers final series, but I would pay more for a stick of bubble gum than I would to hear what Lebron's political views are. He is a potentially GOAT as a NBA player, but maybe one in 100 million as far as having any proven insight or intellect to be a political expert.
So true and some young player that is now making $3M will be making $300K and have Bentley and Mortgage collection agencies all over him, Lebron will tell him it is Trumps fault. Lebron will then buy ten Bentleys, five houses; while the young mid level player will experience bankruptcy court.
