Is it just me or has Tapper been level-headed these last five days? Of course that probably means r/politics thinks he’s a Nazi now.

He started highlighting Biden's issues at the same time as a lot of other Democrats did.

When it was us pointing these things out, he ignored them and dismissed the (very valid) concerns.

Joe Biden very obviously had dementia back in the 2020 election too. They had to pull him off the campaign trail when he started talking about cockroaches and kids playing with the hair on his legs. He ran a basement campaign and the press let him get away with blaming it on COVID.

Its actually fascinating how they all move in concert.

u/Leading-Reporter5586 2d ago

If anyone took the time to sort the Wikileaks emails by date and read them one by one during the campaign it was actually pretty impressive how quickly they coalesced around a single shared mindset about everything.

u/Klutzy_Carpenter_289 1d ago

Now that they got the ok to bash Biden, they are. Even Pelosi changed her tune completely.

u/Peter-Tao 2d ago

Well at least he could still somewhat functioned at debate backed then.

u/danTHAman152000 2d ago

Love that clip.

u/readerdad55 Conservative 2d ago

He’s not level headed … it’s just that the propaganda messaging is no longer coming from the Biden People - it’s coming from the donors and Obama people. Biden’s toast but they gotta convince Jill.

u/lovetron99 2d ago

Jill was just on the cover of Vogue. She's not going anywhere.

u/populares420 MAGA 2d ago

he probably doesn't want to feel like he has to "take the blame" for the debate for not fact checking trump hard enough. So his attitude is like "no biden you sucked, don't blame me"

3

u/monobarreller Conservative 2d ago

It's hard to deny it when he's one of the few people that saw it face to face. He was at ground zero for one of the most historic moments in modern American history.

u/max_intense 2d ago

There are some sane liberals left….

u/hiricinee Jordan Peterson 2d ago

Tapper historically has been partisan but level headed. If you ask for his opinion on who should win elections, its the left every time. If you ask him a factual observation oriented question you'll probably agree with him.

u/Bobby_Beeftits Conservative 1d ago

Tapper is generally level headed, he just works for CNN.

u/LivingTheApocalypse 2d ago

Tapper called bullshit on the "very fine people" when it happened. 

-36

u/SmarterThanCornPop 2d ago

Tapper has always been decent.

He’s a smart guy who thinks for himself. While I frequently disagree with him, I have respect for him.

34

u/RustyCheats 2d ago

Tapper was an avid 'Trump is Hitler' talking point person. Anyone who compares a running president to one of the worst humans to ever live deserves no respect.

7

u/B4NND Ultra MAGA Californian 2d ago

Leftists put Lenin, Mao, and Stalin on a pedestal. those three are at least as bad as Hitler.

4

u/everydaynormalLPguy 2d ago

Id say Stalin and Mao are worse.

26

u/Ok-Essay5210 2d ago

No.  He's been complicit for 4 years in covering for the dementia addled mush brain.  Now that it's very public and he's running like the rat that he is

2

u/SmarterThanCornPop 2d ago

Has he? I don’t watch him or CNN outside of clips and have just always found him to be less crazy than his colleagues.

3

u/Ok-Essay5210 2d ago

Anyone who hasn't been calling the bullshit out for the last 4 years is complicit.  Tapper has been complicit. The entirety of mainstream media has been complicit... Up until the whole fucking country watched it live with their own eyes... Now they run.

u/ValuesHappening Constitutionalist 2d ago

Anyone who hasn't been calling the bullshit out for the last 4 years is complicit.

Starting to sound dangerously like "Being 'colorblind' is actually being racist!" friend.

u/readerdad55 Conservative 2d ago

This is an awful take that proves you are either an anti trumper or extremely forgetful. You are not decent if you compare the president of the US to Hitler

u/southinked 2d ago

Your comment made my night. Thanks for the laugh.

u/FSYigg Conservative 2d ago

Jake Tapper is now trying to put as much distance between himself and that turd as he can after he spent so much time helping polish it. He's got shit all over him though, so it's undeniable.

"Mr. President, a bag of groceries that cost $100 at the start of your administration now costs $120..." Wax on, wax off.

40

u/Unreasonable_jury 2d ago

More like $160 now but yes.

8

u/NotorioG 2d ago

Quite certain there is a video of a guy who paid 120 for groceries two years ago and the same exact order costs 400+. So yes.

u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie 2d ago

As soon as the DNC locks Biden in as their candidate, Trump needs to absolutely hammer him on having more debates.

19

u/osuaviator Conservative 2d ago

If Trump would start making weekly announcements without caps lock on stating “I once again am willing to debate Joe Biden at the time and venue of his choice, with rules of his choosing, so that the American people may become better informed about their choices for the next president” it would be highly effective.

It would also further devastate the Biden campaign, either by his refusal to debate, or via his performance in the debate.

10

u/devnull5475 Paleoconservative 2d ago

You're probably right. Although, it would be fun if he announced he'd only debate giggles now, since a vote for Joe is a vote for giggles as president.

13

u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie 2d ago

Oh man, that would be brutal. And as much as I liked the lack of a live audience for the last debate, he needs to push for having one. That way there are eyes on Biden with zero intervention. If they stop the broadcast because he's having a Biden moment, there will still be witnesses. Word will get out.

29

u/Atheia Conservative 2d ago

Don't interrupt them, Jake. Let the Party tell us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears. It'll be their final, most essential command. After all, it's the only thing they're good at.

u/mtfowler178 2d ago

CNN is punting Biden now. They want to appear as if they are "unbiased". Not to mention, if Trump wins their rating goes through the roof. Their best years were during Trump's presidency.

4

u/Few-Past6073 2d ago

This is exactly what's happening.. their ratings/viewership have never been worse under Biden, and have never been better under Trump, so they are kicking him to the curb. People love to hate, and CNN loves to provide it. Kind of interesting imo

u/readerdad55 Conservative 2d ago

Proof that Tapper is still a DNC shill… he isn’t asking the real question which is not the obvious “should Biden be running” but rather “why isn’t the 25th amendment being implemented”

0

u/monobarreller Conservative 2d ago

It actually would take awhile to actually pull off a 25th amendment move. He can challenge it and it would have to be approved by the house and senate. It would take at least 24 days for it to be completed. That's a lot of time this close to the election.

2

u/readerdad55 Conservative 2d ago

But this isn’t about the election. It’s a statement about whether or not he is capable of running the country until January 19th and we know (simple given the admission BY HIS STAFF that he is only capable from 10-4. This is the issue

0

u/monobarreller Conservative 2d ago

Ah, I'm not disagreeing at all on that. He needed to go no later than last Thursday around 9:02, when he first opened his mouth. This is established in my mind. I'm just focusing on the election implications at this point and invoking the 25th doesn't solve the issue of removing Biden immediately which greatly impacts the race.

u/Jimmydean879 2d ago

I agree with Tapper being middle of the road on this . Now that the Dems are attacking him I think he is getting the real education on how is party tries to crush any dissent .

u/Weed_Exterminator Constitutional Textualist. 2d ago

A gaslighter’s pathetic attempt to salvage a shred of credibility.

Welcome to our world.

u/Simmumah Reagan Conservative 2d ago

Based CNN?

u/homestar92 Not A Biologist 2d ago

I've said it before I'll say it again - a Trump presidency is great for ratings. CNN despises Trump on a personal level, but for business reasons they want him to win.

2

u/BornIn80 Don't Tread Conservative 2d ago

I think there is something to your theory.

I’ve been thinking awhile that Trump is great for the media when it comes to money and what’s better than Trump dominating headlines from 2016-2024, that would be him dominating the headlines from 2016-2028 and they all acted accordingly to make that happen.

1

u/kcchiefsfan96 2d ago

This right here. They hate him. But without him they are irrelevant!

u/carscatsdogs 2d ago

Democrats know their best chance at winning is to have Biden replaced. CNN is trying to force this. They know if Biden stays in they lose.

1

u/RompiendoElBajo 1d ago

Lose to the convicted fellow who when he last ran lost the Pres office and the Senate? Oh ya, I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots.
