Actually the new and improved WaPo Editorial Board took that honor: "Do Canada and Mexico Deserve Trump's Tariffs?" I'm no longer a subscriber so I couldnt retrieve the answer, but I can guess what the so called "personal liberties and free markers" answer is.
Russia is a kleptocracy and economic basket case that barely rate economically or militarily and this administration says “I’ll have what they are having”
His weakness is showing. Has to have henchmen nearby at all times. When will they all turn on each other? A toxic pool of hypermasculinity mixing in multiple drugs and massive egos.
That's the really insulting part. Zelenskyy came there expecting Trump to finish the negotiations on extorting Ukraine's mineral deposits to give his buddies, in return for giving him military equipment bought from his other buddies,
like a competent mobster would do.
And then he got knifed.
I just want to sit in my comfy chair and play my favorite games, but if I don’t speak out for those being oppressed, eventually the assholes are going to break down my door and drag me out of my comfy chair and I will no longer be able to play videogames
They support Trump. Period. End of story. They were the chief instigators behind BUT. HER. EMAILS. They began the mainstreaming of anti-trans bullshit.
He’ll, they started whitewater and laundered every GOP bullshit lie for the entire 90s. They pushed ‘Al Gore sighed.’
I actually do want to understand. I understand when they shill for warmongers, because it’s in the interests of Wall Street—and that is their real audience. But I do not understand why they shill for people who will crash the economy. Is crypto the new Wall Street?
I honestly believe they’re convinced they’re not going to crash the economy. People project all kinds of stupid bullshit onto Trump and his goons, going “oh he wouldn’t do that because it would be stupid and destructive”
They all hate democracy this much? Jesus wept. These people are THE WINNERS OF EVERYTHING. How much more do they need? They want to see people in rags? They hate Gen Z so much they have to break their spines? Ruin their futures? What is this all about?
It’s not that they hate democracy, it’s that they’re still convinced that nobody could possibly be this stupid and destructive. Seriously, cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug
Ha ha ha. This is one of my hypotheses about a lot of them. Is this anxiety about how their penises work? Do their penises start to work less well, and they become much crazier assholes as a result?
even on its on "logic"
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE LARGER GOAL?
this is like Don Corleone telling the baker that he'll perform any favor, anytime, for the baker!
One of my favorite quotes from a college professor was my modern history of LatAM teacher, who taught it very well and accurately, was that the NYT is the American Pravda.
Essentially it's elites writing propaganda for elites and somehow the rest of us convinced ourselves that was worth reading
The ask is probably to always say something nice about what he does. If he killed someone the headline would read “Trump takes aggressive stance on healthcare”
If you follow New York Times Pitchbot, and still subscribe to the Times or otherwise financially support it at this point, you are clearly part of the problem.
A lot of people's are so blind and dumb to what's going on. They don't think their is a problem. They don't really think at all frankly. People with their heads so far in the sand they think everything is going to go back to normal. I don't know what's coming. We all have it coming to us.
I am American and ashamed of what happened yesterday. None of what is happening in our country is acceptable and I struggle with feeling helpless to stop it. I apologize to the rest of the world for what these idiots are doing.
Yep, there's a lot wrong with the ideas of great powers realpolitik, and one of the big ones is picking which nations are great powers is almost entirely made up.
It's not a coincidence it's current proponents are mostly russophiles and Putin cheerleaders.
*it’s close overall. Russia has a lower GDP per capita than pretty much everyone in Europe and a lot of places in Asia. It’s mind-breaking to think they should be emulated or treated as a “great power” — which completely exposes just how far they are up the GOP’s ass. It’s insane.
@nytimes.com boot-lickers of the fascist regime. They still continue to spin and sane wash this complete and utter betrayal of core democratic values - they need to face facts - Trump is a malignant narcissistic despot who will destroy this country to make a buck, or avenge a paper cut -
The problem people have with it is that it sane-washes Trump's decisions making. Like it's just a 'difference in approaches' to a problem. I think for an educated person this headline should be enough to show how batshit Trump is, but...a lot of people in this country aren't educated.
I am sick of this media. Reminds me of how my mom had a Reader’s Digest subscription and every month they ran a “Yes we ARE Winning the War in Vietnam!” article

One of the thing that stuns me is that maga and trump despise the NYT and there is NOTHING the NYT can do to change that, which the NYT fucking knows.
You should have heard Katy Tur trying to spin for Trump on @msnbc.com. I was listening on satellite radio. I imagine she looked like a pretzel after she finished speaking.
But she gets to keep her job and @joyannreid.bsky.social lost hers.
“Raw great-power”? What the hell is that? 🍊 isn’t interested in *power*, he’s only interested in enriching himself. I’m sure he’s plotting to have Elon “disappeared” so he can “inherit” his stash. He is the personification of greed.
That's what 'raw great-power' means. Survival of the fittest. If you're stronger than someone else, then there is nothing wrong with taking their shit. What are they going to do? They should thank you for interacting with them (or taking their minerals)
They have no bottom. Even the WSJ editorial board is harsher on Trump than the NYT, for pete's sake. The editors at the Times need to rethink their life choices. By now, they have squandered whatever is left of their reputation, and integrity
Yeah, nah, this would’ve absolutely been shark jumpy… what is left for satire when the papers of record are so absurdly off the rails? It’s bad what they’ve done to our country, but to do this to comedy? Atrocious

Because honestly, I'm not sure you can keep up at this point.
Is that the WWF lady writing this horseshit?
The creme-filled pastry, not the Iron Chancellor
Yup, they did it. They found a way to put a protagonist spin on backstabbing
Other than its nuclear stockpile and huge land mass it is nothing.

NYT has been shit forever.
Eventually that’s gonna come crashing down.
And slaves
These guys have bad dicks
They will make it our problem
Fuck the billionaires
They’re owned by rich guys
Who hope Trump will make them more
Of that sweet lettuce.

Guess who has the resources to live without working for two years in NY or DC?
Internships led to a decades long cull of non-wealthy journalists in the U.S.
Probably should have inserted “throbbing” into the mix just so no one misunderstands the depth of the NYTimes simping for Trump
Seeing you go from a parody account to repeating their headlines...
Well, I respect you, not them.
They are complicit and weak.

is that he didn’t name “American” as the official language of the United States…
and claim that he invented it.
Upside Down cake.
The @nytimes.com wrote that too. Same newspaper, just different players.
That doesn't even make sense with an ally.
I feel embarrassed for all Americans who think that Trump's despicable and cringe-worthy behavior was even slightly acceptable.
Shame on you Trump!
Shame on you Americans for making this crap possible!
It's not a coincidence it's current proponents are mostly russophiles and Putin cheerleaders.
Fuck?
“Raw great power negotiations?”

Fuck MSNBC and the new news director
