This Is What Screwed Looks Like

Posted on by

Governor Walz yesterday morning, as he got ready to head into the studio for his ritual toenail-painting with Esme Murphy:

Ever notice how the press never cares about civil rights being trashed until its their civil rights being trashed?

He’s wrong, of course. A press that holds power accountable is “foundational to democracy”. So we’re screwed.

By the way – not holding “emergency power” long after the emergency has passed is also “foundational to democracy”.

  1. I hope the cops take “leave the press alone” very literally…like walk away when a CNN chick is getting the snot beat out of her, and joggers are running off with the camera and lights.

  2. BTW, have a look at the comments to his sqeek…lol.

    Personally, I love the one that calls him “Sweaty”.

  3. Beat me to the punch, Pete.

    Obviously, it’s OK for “mostly peaceful” protesters and reprobates like Elected by morons John Thompson, to threaten and assault “journalists”. Sadly, I’m also OK with the left’s propaganda arm getting beat downs. I mean, why should conservatives be the only ones?

  4. Plainly, the problem is irresponsible citizen-journalists like Andy Ngo and Scott Johnson and Mitch Berg spreading misinformation that undermines The Narrative on Covid and civil unrest and fair elections.

    I recommend Governor Walz use his Emergency Powers to establish licensing for journalists to ensure the ordinary public always receives a consistent, government-approved message. There’s historical precedent – the Office of Censorship was set up during World War II. Is the present pandemic any less a crisis?

    Plus, it will reduce the cutting-and-pasting which the Emery Collective has to do since every media outlet always will have exactly the same message.

  5. Mitch,you are so charitable to call it nail painting. I thought of a different word but it’s NSFW and would send me to moderation purgatory. Starts with c and ends with ing.

  6. By the way – not holding “emergency power” long after the emergency has passed

    History is replete with individuals taking extra power to resolve some crisis. Very few ever give the power back willingly.

    If you don’t dispute the #s, COVID has killed more Americans than died in WW2, and in a much shorter timeframe.

    Joe makes a valid point with which every good leftist/prog would agree.

  9. There’s a lot of reasons to dispute the official Covid death count. It’s still substantial, but I’m really tired of the inappropriate comparison to WW II deaths, because every single year way more people die than we lost in the four years of WW II. The median age of Covid decedents has been and remains 82 years. It’s an apples to zebras comparison. Median age of Americans who died in WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan probably less than 25.

  10. Even if we admit that each COVID-infected death is a COVID death, wouldn’t we want to quantify the estimated number of years of life lost? Maybe that would help put things in perspective a bit.

  11. Oh, and BTW…looked everywhere for one of your GOP Rep’s remarks condemning a leftist from California flying in to incite the blax in Mpls..

    *crickets chirping*

    Stay the course Patriots….next time, vote harder.

  19. BB offered: “Even if we admit that each COVID-infected death is a COVID death, wouldn’t we want to quantify the estimated number of years of life lost?”

    I think that is meant to be your life’s work, BB. God’s speed.

  20. I agree, golfdoc.

    Due to the fear porn being propagated by the CDC, the media and the medical community, it will probably be years before we know the actual number of deaths due strictly to the ChiCom virus.

  24. Pete, it strikes me that the average decedent is losing a couple of years of life, so we would infer that the entire person-years lost from COVID is comparable to what we lose in car accidents annually, and is far less than what we suffer from suicide, drug overdoses, smoking, overeating and sloth.

    Now I could retire…if only I had the money. :^)

  25. You said Patriots. That triggered me. It’s a dog-whistle for slave owning white supremacists. And Mitch allowed it through!

    I . . . can’t . . . even . . . .

  26. I just sent a reply that mentioned the name of the New England football team, same as your comments did.

    moderation.

    The Press: “But we already do that, your Majesty”
