Hmmm maybe a book on Tapper and his journalism failures? Could be used as a text in universities for decades.

Good! Not a good look Jake, going after Joe Biden who spent 50 years in service to this country. He did a good job as president, creating a strong economy after the dumpster fire of Trump’s 1st administration. Why don’t you focus on the Republicans who have had dementia, Ronnie Reagan was a complete mess at the end of his tenure, we all knew Nancy was running the show. And Donald Trump is showing signs of senility, half of his rallies made no sense.

Joe Biden created 16 Million Jobs in 4 years which is the most by any President. Bill Clinton created 11.5 Million Jobs in 4 years TWICE! Also a record.

Since Hoover was in office in 1929, Democrats have a 4 to 1 JOB creation margin and a 5 to 1 GDP creation margin. Also. Since the Hoover republican administration, there has been 1 Great Depression, 1 Great Recession, and 9 Recessions under republican administrations and only 2 recessions under Democratic administrations.

Meanwhile, republican administrations have created more Federal Debt by a 2.5 to 1 margin since the end of World War II.

I say Tapper should take his Joe Biden bashing and go self fornicate.

Jake missed the mark. The real story and the real concern is the president and administration that we have now been subjected to. Even as he was apparently scrambling to sensationalize Biden’s shortcomings and clearly age related frailties… he thought this was a bigger threat than Trump? And not just Trump but his minions and the dangerous undermining of our democracy that they were already masterminding? This did not occur to him might be a good thing to warn against? Or to analyze? Did he not see what the alternative result might mean?

I believe it’s already significantly decreased his ratings, and I hope as this word gets out, they will truly plummet. The last fucking thing we need now is more liars in our press, good god.

ABC, CBS and NBC have ALL failed The People of America since 2016. These news outlets should be coordinating there collective to bring down the maga/musk mob NOT stroking the beast's belly. The corporate media ALL think by laying down with Orange magadon they will be spared when he rolls out the tanks and army to round them up; they are gravely mistaken.

Memorial Day

Honor to all of our veterans

I listened to a piece of the interview that Jake Tapper did with Maga Megan Kelly.

First of all, he realized the maga crowd is the only way he’s going to make money on the book

In listening to the interview, he totally put President Biden under the bus Saying

“ Joe Biden has always said stupid things”

Just disparaging him

Then Megan Kelly asked him a very interesting question:

“ Are you going to call Lara Trump and apologize to her?”

And Jake Tapper responded

“ I already did” Indicating that he called her to apologize and had a conversation with her!

Part of all the Trump deals after he bullies and threatens lawsuits has been to “ Apologize” or to give great flattery to him like his cabinet does every time they open their mouths.

This book by Jake Tapper was totally sponsored by CNN and promoted by all of the anchors

This book was quickly put together with much unsubstantiated gossip as Naomi his granddaughter has indicated.

It is a Maga talking point book.

It appears CNN and Jake Tapper have capitulated exactly as ABC CBS and all the big law firms.

Someone needs to tell Jake that he should examine Trumps latest videos like the signing of executive orders he did not read before signing - Clearly some cognitive decline in King Donald’s mind.

Tapper has seized an opportunity to advance his own interests and outshine all the great efforts President Biden made to work on behalf of the American citizens. Not only that, he’s caused people like I (78) to question and fear the natural aging process, suggesting that growing old can do damage to others. For me Tapper has lost all journalistic credibility. His self aggrandizing and smugness is terribly disappointing.

I doubt they would have written this, especially in such a hurried fashion, if trump wasnt president again. Was the hurry up to distract from the ONE TRUE DEMENTED MAN CURRENTLY RESIDING IN THE WH? I intentionally did not say who is currently president, because we have seen case after case after case now of trump not knowing what the hell’s going on in the Oval Office, much less the rest of the world. This whole “smear the other side with lies and cruelty” environment would not have exploded into mainstream everything without him lighting the match. However, ETTD strikes far and wide, and guess what? It’s looking as if Jake certainly didn’t do himself any favors writing this book. And, it’s going to be exponentially worse when his playing fast and loose with the truth starts to make its way around. If there is one thing that I think we on the left are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DONE WITH IT’S THE LYING. I bet his children are really proud of their POS dad.

Joe Biden accomplished so much more than Jake Tapper ever will. What a horrible knife in the back Tapper's pathetic book is to a good, decent, hard working man who dedicated fifty plus years of his life to public service and who got us thru the Covid crisis that Trump completely mishandled, and who left us the strongest economy in the world. I'd take Biden on life support as President over the befuddled, lazy, hateful, law breaking dotard we currently have to deal with in the White House. Jake Tapper is an opportunistic non-nournalist. He should be ashamed of himself.

I'm so with you Eva.Everyday, I think what a good man Joe Biden was. Our biggest problem with the Democrats was they weren't good at cheating and threats. They tried to do things legally. Hard to come to the table to tout conspiracy theories to move your political fortunes ahead like someone else did and they had hired guns.

Yes. My whole disgust with CNN falling into line -- and Jake Trapper doing this stupid book --- which should be left to historians is really telling. I'm thinking Jake did it to get Trump to like him. Disgraceful. Demeaning. Disgusting. I don't watch CNN anymore. Unfortunately, I've been heavily pushed to the left by what's going on. MSNBC is the only thing I seem to watch anymoe.
