To the editor:

Naturally, I didn’t tune into NBC or MSNBC last Thursday night to watch President Joe Biden’s ty-rant in Philly. I had seen Putin on the TV war news earlier that day, and the sight of one decrepit, demented autocrat was plenty enough for me. So, instead, I caught a recap of the event the following morning on Yahoo! News.

Jim shows his usual levels of both diligence and outrage here.

Skateboard park? Covid distribution plan? Hotel room noisy? Lawyers actually sent you a bill? All these seem outrageous to Jim - he even chained himself to the White House gates over Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Don't get me wrong, I think DADT was a flawed policy, but I'd stop short of chaining myself to gates while in uniform. There might even be a debate about whether Biden is correct that the GOP are facists (I know some who are not and some, like Jim, who are worse), but how can Jim express an opinion about the speech when he did not watch it? Particularly an opinion that compares Biden to Hitler?

Yup, that's not only poor diligence, it's loco-weed.

What is it with you people and your fetishism with all things Nazi and Hitler? Sad it is in your limited repertoire of responses as both were EVIL and HATED. Much unlike our current president who is attempting to rid the US of those influences dredged up by LYING grifting loser DJT who people of limited intelligence or curiosity seem to be willing to cling to as their miserable MAGA movement sinks back into the bowels weighed down my flags, merch, and lies.

If there was ever any doubt that Jim Pietrangelo should be the poster child for cognitive dissonance, projection and willful blindness, it was forever removed with this most recent diatribe. He often proudly states that he refuses to watch or listen to important news broadcasts (such as the January 6 hearings), choosing instead to watch snippets totally void of context on his favorite right-wing extremist “news” casts, just as he did with President Biden’s recent speech in Philadelphia. Here’s a thought: Try substituting “Donald Trump” for “Joe Biden” in Pietrangelo’s most recent rant and you will see that my first sentence above makes perfect sense. Projection. Willful Blindness. Cognitive Dissonance. Joe Pietrangelo checks all three boxes.
