right, if there's no evidentiary standard, then he can present all the evidence he wants and they can decline to find it compelling, just as they've been declining to take yes for an answer and are instead pretending he's still deciding

trump getting re-elected is scary as shit, yes, but the appropriate response to that *from the electeds and leaders of the party* has to be all hands on deck, not pissing themselves in terror

wasn't one of the key fucking lessons of 2016 that there's no such thing as a sure thing? why, then, do democrats keep searching desperately for one?

all the "gop moderates on abortion" headlines were insane for this exact reason: that was how the trump campaign spun it in the press release, and far too few reporters said "yeah let me check the source for myself"

Communications tip: don't say "Project 2025" say "Trump's Project 2025." He's trying to run away from it, tie it to his neck like an anchor by making the words "Project 2025" naturally follow the word "Trump" in people's heads.

hey @washingtonpost.com, do any of the writers on staff who have authored articles about ai's thirst for power and the many problems that's causing know that you've put together an ai tool to read about the problems your new tool is causing?

it is fucking hilarious that no one was willing to go on record to cnn about trump personally writing parts of the platform, and they chose to run it anyway because they are hacks like... why would no one be willing to put their name on that? why wouldn't trump himself be saying this were it true?

if you're wondering what the difference is between coverage and a crusade, today's cbs radio hook was "congress is headed back to d.c. today, and many democrats are thinking about biden" ah yes, that old staple, the "what is one party thinking about as the recess ends" classic

this is an amazing illustration of the gulf between media and its critics on objectivity the words viser uses here are very neutral and objective, a straightforward description of events his choice to write those words is neither neutral or objective, it's a validation of right-wing propaganda

the padding part happens no matter if the sock stops at the ankle, the knee, or the thigh so the only factor is "how much of this *undergarment* do i want people to see and how much skin do i want to show," which is just fashion and norms

socks serve two and only two possible purposes: padding/insulation/sweat absorption between your foot and a larger foot covering, or hiding your skin from view (on-foot uses only, obviously sock puppets are a thing)

oh boy, it's sock rant time pro tennis player mardy fish used to wear ankle socks, and he was like the only guy on tour to do so, and john mcenroe would make fun of him for it in the booth during broadcasts and like... what? this horse you're on, it is so very high and i don't understand why

wait, are you telling me someone intentionally faked a letter that likely exists with a close-but-not-quite typewriter and gave it to cbs so they could debunk the fake evidence and thereby discard the whole story, even though the underlying premise was absolutely true? (is this the right ratfuck?)

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.
