Some would say Fox News paid a steep price when they were held accountable in the Dominion falsehood. However, they also didn’t go under and didn’t lose support so one could argue they became stronger because of it.

The level of fear they have he might call them a loser or fake news is incredible.

Republicans know taking up the causes of the stupid are very lucrative.

And I’m here to say it’ll be twice as bad as @mehdirhasan.bsky.social thinks it will be.

I spent my morning talking to ChatGPT about numbers and counting and why we start at 1 and not 0 when it’s 0-9 and stuff… wyd?

Guess I have to stop by X to tell Nate Silver to go f himself

This needs to be said often and loudly.

This is very much on point.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

The phenomenon taking place now is Trump will start talking about all of the things h he fabricated during the campaign magically going away (because they didn’t actually exist). This was prevalent in Trump I and will be more prevalent in Trump II. It’s all branding and propaganda.

The branding game is strong with the red team. They are now crediting the looming shadow of Trump for the peace deal between Israel and a Hezbollah… you’ll hear that a lot.

It’s a near guarantee we’ll (a) see less implementation of any sort of tariffs and (b) hear about how just the threat of them worked. That’s the red party in a nutshell. Propaganda and branding.

The “How dare you!?!?!?!” bullshit move of the Red Team is getting old. “How dare you say Trump is going to implement Project 2025?!?!?” was the same faux outrage energy they had after Jan 6 only to suddenly become cool with it. Seriously, fair to tell them to F off.

This is very accurate.

Now that I’ve realized how upsetting it is to those X folks when people DON’T argue with them, I don’t really want to engage anymore.

We’ve made her a thing now. She’s been trying to get noticed for some time. Maybe if she was also trying to outlaw frat parties, altar boys at Catholic crutches and family gatherings, I’d buy this concern a bit more.

Elon bought himself a country.

When Republicans are in power, they rack up giant deficits, mainly by cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy. Then when Democrats take the reins, Republicans blame them for being big spenders. It’s always the same story.

The “mandate” branding was brought about by the MSM pushing it early and then has now become weaponized by Republicans to push terrible ideas

Hey MAGA, we know the bridge you live under. We’ll come visit when we want… but this place isn’t for you.

The same group that says 63% of Americans thinking abortion should be legal in all cases isn’t enough to defend the right say Trump’s 31% of eligible voters and 50% of those who voted is a “mandate”… just call bullshit whenever they say it.

“Echo chamber” is another right wing branding attempt to disparage civility and mental health. Imagine being that level of bully and self-righteousness to think someone MUST listen to what vitriol you spew. Seriously, get f*****.

Fuck all this echo chamber horseshit. I don’t come here to have my worldview challenged, I come here to have some fucking fun

Tonight at the UFC, the four weird ex-Democrats who now control the Republican Party.

The new Big Lie is the “mandate”… this was how it is going to finish: 31.4% Trump 31.0% Harris 0.4% Third Party 37.2% Did Not Vote 2 senators, 2 House positions… That’s not a mandate. It’s a slight shift and yet again good branding by the red side.

You're singing an entire song about Jimmy cracking corn and you expect us to believe you don't care? He's living rent-free in your head.
