We’ve been getting a great tutorial on why so many people distrust the mainstream media since the debate. Reminds me of William Randolph Hearst promoting the Spanish-American War to sell more papers; these folks liked the Trump years because it made getting clicks easier.

No, the OTHER hung parliament. I know what it means, I was just making a joke, but not a good one it seems.

With these nazi’s it’s just as important to be performatively a Nazi as it is to be functionally a Nazi. Seems to be not so different to the 1930’s German ones

Back when I was a first sergeant I literally gave my senior noncommissioned officers a briefing I titled “don’t fuck your soldiers”.

Have you heard that Trump wants to put his enemies in front of a public military tribunal, and the Supreme Court just gave him authority to do it? Perhaps that’s worth looking into as a news organization

Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

I got an A-Ha moment out of one of my conservative raised but smart kids a couple of years ago when she said “well slavery wasn’t illegal then” when I asked her “who wrote the laws?”

An exquisite irony of the current moment is Trump’s tariff plan combined with SCOTUS lawlessness would yield a moment where we have a functionally unremovable king and a huge tax on tea.

See this was the importance of getting that 6th fascist vote on the court. Each one of them could vote for their pet non-regressive project while allowing the fascists to still get their way.

The exact wording was cannot murder any of the six Supreme Court Justices. When someone noted that there are nine justices, Chief Justice Roberts put his finger next to his nose and winked.

Thank you for adding the “upper cast” part to that. I always thought that was a part of it. Perhaps too complex for this venue or outside of your knowledge base, but I also suspect that caste supremacy plays a part in people like Vivek Ramaswamy suckling at the white supremacy teet

I use an excerpt from Golwalker’s book where he is congratulatory to the Nazi’s for making Germany a one nation state as a contrast to Gandhi’s secular multi-ethnic ideal, then run that forward to what the BJP is doing today. Of course I don’t have the insiders look at it

Things I *am* confident of: 1) Whoever the Democrats nominate is better than Trump 2) Trump & the GOP are the most significant threat to America since the civil war 3) the news media is obscuring #2 So those are the kinds of things I'm focused on, fwiw.

Really what you are painting here is exactly not what you say you are painting. You are painting a yellow news story akin to “Remember the Maine” while saying that it’s being instigated by close Biden staffers.
