This article is far too glib. It's not Tяump's lying that does the damage, it's that he faces no consequences for it, coupled with the knock-on effect that has on society. We must find a way to challenge this behaviour for without accountability, democracy is lost. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u... - ThreadSky

He’s yelling fire in a crowded theater and claiming it’s free speech.

No one has the balls to do it, but we need to throw his ass in prison.

I disagree with the premise of the article. It's not hard to pin him down. It only requires a simple fact check. "Were you lying then, or are you lying now?" I agree with you Mr. Bragg, that the major problem is that there are no consequences. Zero.

Do you think Europe should arm it self because of the threat from the US and from Russia Billy?

billybragg.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think we should be able to defend ourselves without relying on the local superpower.

@nytimes.com has been playing that game since 2015. They are as complicit as @wsj.com and as @washingtonpost.com

Any level of consequence early in his political pursuits would have saved us all from the shitshow we’re now living through. He’s done so much wrong, and faced no consequences for any of it.

Yup. This had all proven how toothless our Constitution is.

Any document is only as strong as the will of those charged with enforcing it, and clearly - those charged with enforcing it had their spines removed at birth, or shortly after election to office.

There are very few public servants in public service.

The absence of follow-up questions to his claims is bewildering. Especially those of his ~remarkable~ expertise about practically anything. I would love to see a reporter ask exactly how, for example, sunshine is converted to electricity. Or how natural selection works. Just once. Ask, reporters!

You can always count on the NYT to bring an abacus to a fire fight.

bsu2024.bsky.social•4 days ago

NYT lost all cred in the run-up to the Iraq war. NYT editors are sketch at best. NYT can always be counted on bending the knee when push comes to shove.

That said, they do offer good recipes. NYT excels at that.

billybragg.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's why I read it - for the recipes
