Quipped From The Headlines

Trump v. Freed Prisoners  

August 3, 2024

Sometimes a headline makes its way in front of the eyes of the staff here at Paying Attention that makes our heads spin. Once the spinning stops we often feel the need to respond. The article below such headlines typically becomes inconsequential here at the secret, undisclosed Fortress of Attitude, and rarely gets read.

The Backstory

After extensive behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing, President Joe Biden and his team managed to secure the release of several Americans and dissident Russians released from Russian captivity. You might remember that Trump bragged that once he was re-elected, his hero Putin would simply release one of his prisoners. As always, he had no plan to offer, just braggadocio (i.e., wet, stanky bullshit).

After the prisoners were released, the following exchange occurred

Reporter: “Trump said he could've gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?”

Biden: “Why didn't he do it when he was president?”

A day later, the following headline was seen on the internets, this time the MSNBC website

4 reasons Trump isn't celebrating Americans returning home from Russia

#1 Trump is an asshole

#2 Trump is an unbelievable asshole

#3 Trump is a toxically narcissistic asshole

#4 Trump is an uncaring, spiteful piece of shit

This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought For The Day.
