Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Other media outlets finally waking up to this story "It's hard to have more influence when you're talking about money in politics than someone who just directly gave you eight figures"

Exactly this. The point of the FBI Director having a ten-year term was so that it would cut across presidential terms. "Trump announces FBI pick" is not a normal thing.

can't stress enough, as someone who has a lot of experience in media, they know what they are doing when they run provocative and/or genuinely dumb takes. they do not deserve your well-intentioned "marketplace of ideas" counterarguments even a little bit! bsky.app/profile/aoc....

Do I think all of Trump picks will get through the senate confirmation process? No idea. 4 republican senators can stop a nomination. I’m not saying they will, I’m just saying they could.

Trump just nominated Charles Kushner to be AMB to France. Because, hey, screw it, let's not even pretend anymore.

We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Mr. Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped…. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/u...

The Economist will never, ever be caught speaking truth to power, but they absolutely will make the richest man on earth, who is a fascist, look like a harmless child.

A key reason voters don't believe the fascists are fascists is that major media outlets keep normalizing them with cover stories cueing the public they are just like Hollywood celebrities. Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

A lot of coverage seems to be assuming the "department of government efficiency" will actually be some government department. But we don't even know that much. There's been no explanation. Some kind of private 'advisory' deal? Under EOP? OMB? Are any actual government employees going to work at it?

I dunno ... I think that if you supported the guy that chose to nominate Gabbard, you're basically just describing yourself at this point.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

What kind of convoluted, pretzel-brain bullshit is this? If the US was invading Mexico, I would fully expect Mexico to use any weapons they had at their disposal. If Russia doesn’t want to be bombed, the simple answer is to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

“Saying “No, it’s over! Don’t be so naive!” [is] really just rolling out a red carpet, the ultimate capitulation in advance. At the very least, put him to the task. Make him execute on what he’s trying to do. That’s the first role of a political opposition.” 👇

Hey #NAFO #fellas I don’t ask for much but would love it if you help spread this post. “Eco labeled” investment funds have banned the defense industry. So now we don’t have enough capacity to donate weapons to Ukraine. Which causes an eco disaster 🤦‍♂️This must be corrected by the eco label business!
