@jeffjarvis some of them may have thought they were electing someone different but who he is and what he was going to do was certainly plain to see for anyone all along.

@jeffjarvis I wonder which Donald Trump they thought they were voting for, because this is the only Donald Trump I've ever been aware of.

@jeffjarvis Does this just possibly remind anyone of "this isn't the #brexshit I voted for!"

Of course it fucking is.

And with that example in the very recent past there's no excuse for any Americans who try to play the same game.

Yes, it is. It ABSOLUTELY is. If the NYT wants to admit its own gullibility and downright stupidity, fine. But it's on them.

We were given a clear choice. This Donald Trump was on clear display, if one but had the discernment to look.

Shame on NYT. Shame on the media of the media. Now, I think we're totally fucked, and yet pols and the media STILL keep kicking the can on down the road, instead of facing our harsh reality.

sigh.

@jeffjarvis 🧐The fact that the #NYT's editors published this silly headline and #nonsensical article shows how much this corporatized paper has irreparably lost their journalistic chops and, thus, mandate. There has always been only one unmistakable Donald "pisspot" #Trump - the serial-liar/bankrupt/rapist #felon - for anyone who paid attention. #BigFail #journalism
