Been saying for years now: media trips over themselves to cater to Republican messaging/perspective because Republicans labeled 'the media' as being liberal; the only way to show they're not liberal? Carry water for Republicans.

It's a lot like when evangelical politicians say "God told me to do X." It's an unfalsifiable premise used to bolster their existing idealogy.

And for that matter, have they ever gone after a Republican for anything as hard as they jump in line to attack Democrats? The only thing I can think of that comes close is how they hit Romney over his 47% line at a donor dinner.

Willie Horton, Dukakis in a tank, Clinton Chronicles, Al Gore invented the internet, Swiftboat Veterans, Birtherism, Email Server, Hunter's Business..... Has American media ever gone an election cycle without wholesale accepting a right-wing story, no matter how transparently bullshit it is?

It's been meh-to-bad in the past, but this year seems far worse. Lots of people anxious about another Trump administration are channeling into borderline insanity and open hostility to anyone who refuses to join them.

Same in Florida. A lot of people move here because they but the right-wing nonsense about the state being a perfect utopia and then face a hard collision with the wall of reality.

Following American politics is a lot like being a pro wrestling fan: People who have never worked behind the scenes are convinced they could easily do the work with unparalleled success because they've watched the product on tv and follow it closely online.

There's nothing our media likes more than pushing a certain story thread and then turning around and pretending it's an organic issue they are obligated to cover.

Has the NYT ever tried to figure out why Trump got rushed to Walter Reed unannounced on a Saturday to complete "portions" of his annual physical in 2019?

Their platform calls for an Iron Dome missile defense system for the US. That's the most "Trump learned about something and thinks it's shiny and cool, so he wants one too" thing I've ever seen. We haven't been hit by aerial bombardment since WWII. Does he think Canada is gonna launch rockets?

A twofer here: 1. "Highly sophisticated paper ballots" are not a real thing. Also remember their 2020 conspiracy theories hinged around fake paper ballots being dropped off at voting sites. 2. They value those in the territories and want then engaged, but not enough to push for statehood.

So the Republicans actually released a platform this year. It reads like a Trumpian college presentation he started the night before. But it takes a lot of gall for them to put this shit in writing. It's 26 words, but they could have said it in 14.

I always think it's ironic the same judges who pretend to revere history and original intent in Con law cases throw that shit out the window the second it's inconvenient to the state. This happens all the time in 4th Amendment cases, where they've watered it down so much it barely exists anymore.

It's always amazing to me that his first four movies were 48 Hrs. (Good to great), Trading Places (Great), Best Defense (legitimately one of the worst movies of the decade), and Beverly Hills Cop (All-time classic). Best Defense is such a weird outlier.

The good news is Project 2025 is becoming well known and toxic enough that the major architects are forced to disavow. The bad news is we all know these denials are complete nonsense. Our media will probably accept them on face value, but we need to continue getting the word out.

Same. As we discussed moving out of the hellscape Florida has transitioned to, we said we will likely have to find a house to purchase. I don't think a rental will let us have 5 cats and none of our family will be discarded.

Our second cat developed gastrointestinal issues and got put on a special, very expensive, food... Which means the other 4 cats also got put on a special, very expensive, food. I feel your budget pain and I hope your little kitty is OK.
