I don't know if it's true, but I've read they aren't "real" bets, but rather "sponsored" bets from gambling companies that give him the bet in exchange for the publicity.

I didn't know what you look like and assumed the pic was of Jonathan Mitchell mockingly pretending to have gotten a PrEP shot which seemed like quite an ornately villainous thing to do, even for a Trumper, until I noticed the pic looked like your avatar (which I assume is you). Sorry for confusion!

I was like "well the smug *&$*&%$ hypocrite is posing like he got a PrEP shot in that very pict- oh, I see"

It is disorienting to see what the New York Times will cover with an active voice (that is demonstrably more accurate) and what it'll obscure with passive voice.

Yes, but it was also true about Hillary's emails, and it will also be true about any Dem nominee. The MSM broadly and the NYT specifically are committed above all to making both sides look equal, and if one side is openly fascist, the other side gets this treatment no matter who the candidate is.

Macron, the guy who called this unnecessary election years early just hours after a right-wing breakthrough, then undermined his party's alliances with the left, then lost dozens of seats while the left alliance joined the decent members of his party to win big? That Macron?

Can't root for the English. I'll find a reason not to, somehow. Like, Keir's little suckup-to-JKRowling speech will do fine.

It's not an "on the ground" thing - it's a plan developed by a handful of people close to Trump, to be implemented by his close team if/when he wins/steals the presidency. It's a list of moves they plan to make once they're in power.

Much better to just win primaries and shift the party. That’s what Trump did. Worked like a charm.

There were 34 Senate races in 2022. In 30, the Dem got less than 60%. I think splitting that 60% would’ve been fatal in any of those. 3 were 60-70% (CA, MD, VT) - could win there, but might let a Republican sneak in too. And only HI was >70%. Could do it there, but Schatz is pretty good already.

Right. "Well, they keep deciding for Trump/Republicans no matter which way the law/facts/issues point, so they must have a misunderstanding of nuances of inter-institutional relationships." No, they're just picking their side!

Cute that the objective journalists at the NYT, who care so much about neutrality that they won't say a negative word about a fascist coup orchestrator running for President, define "more police" as objectively good.

Only our feckless DC media could cover the court empowering Donald Trump to commit any crime with absolute immunity as “well, they could’ve gone further.”

The really bitter irony here is that SCOTUS is making the president a king while a Democrat is president. They aren't worried about it because they know Democrats won't accept Biden actually acting the way they are saying he can.

I can't argue with any of that. Real good argument we should've been drilling holes for the last two years. But also a real good argument we should've been bailing water the whole time. Real hard to see left-leaners suddenly reaching consensus on either option at this late date, so... we're screwed.

There's a difference between the two varieties in intent, but not in effect. People complaining about Biden's issues (including me right now) BOTH point out some valid concerns AND weaken him to the benefit of the fascists. It's not one or the other. It's an unfair catch-22, but it's still true.

It's even less than 1 in 20 according to bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/... which says it's "1 in 20 will go to prison at some point in their lives" not "have gone already."

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

I see a fascist sweeping to power explicitly promising to end American democracy, and somehow it goes through the NYT machine and comes out as "a new centrism is rising in Washington." Amazing.

Classic NYT - credulous to the extreme when reporting on fascists and right-wing billionaires. Not "Bezos Claims He Is Trying to Fix WaPo by Ousting Editor and Bringing in Murdoch Crew" but "Bezos Is Definitely Trying to Fix WaPo; Here's How!"

Horrendous, monstrous behavior. Also, fascinating how a Trump program ended sometime "in the spring" i.e. the first months of the Biden administration is framed as "both sides equally responsible."
