Drudge does not want Trump to rule us like a king and the people who control the New York Times do want this. It's not much more complicated than that.

Truly cannot stress how much better the Drudge Report is as a daily news source than the NYT

Just compare their two front pages right now

Try to explain this to someone in 2004

Ugh, thanks. I hate it.

I don't trust Kristol and neither should anyone but at this point I really do trust that Drudge hates Trump in a genuine, non-cynical way https://bsky.app/profile/highlandsurfer.bsky.social/post/3lmsc7dmu3k2f

I take a little comfort in that even normie Democrats finally understand the Times is effectively an enemy paper.

Eh, I have the following to say to Bill Kristol. (He's Jewish, he'll get it.)

fenderputty.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think Kristol and some of the other never trumpers should get some credit. At ANY point in time over the last 10 years they could have changed to Anti Anti Trumpers a la Ben Shaprio. The grift is simply much better on the right. They have not.

Ends up that the insane neo-cons really did believe in forcibly spreading democracy around the globe, and now that we're losing it here, they're accidentally right. I'll accept a temporary truce until we're through this mess.

ya i mean that kinda tracks but how do you explain kristol's promotion of sarah palin then

chinajoeflynn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Horniness?

How does one explain John McCain's promotion of Sarah Palin? Her prominence and support during that period of time remains an all-time confusing phenomenon.

Horniness

mtsw.bsky.social•1 day ago

McCain also bad! A bad guy with mostly bad beliefs and a few admittedly admirable ones

benjaminkabak.com•1 day ago

Are you sure it wasn't horniness? @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social @jontayler.bsky.social

He was Dan Quayle’s minder and wanted another empty vessel to mold

I honestly thought there would be more pissed off conservatives trying to take down Trump for threatening what was essentially a free ride for them, by making their quiet little sins and social ills too loud to ignore.

swamplizard.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think too many of them simply drank their own koolaid, and are now going down with the ship (hopefully)

people who have actually internalized 'Orange Man Bad' and followed it to all the sequential conclusions, vs people who like Orange Man and want him to rule as a God King

A weird part of all this has been learning which people who spent all their years shouting “liberty” at everything actually meant it

Not sure why anyone with a working brain in 2004 would have been shocked to hear, "In the future, the New York Times will support a criminal GOP president."

The Drudge part is pretty surprising, though.

Every time I see 'mistakenly deported' I want to jump out of my skin

my dad was an avid drudge reader when i was a teen

about a decade ago i would have said he should stop reading it

nowadays, honestly, i hope he still does. it'd be better than any tv station
