Don't expect other people to share 3rd party numbers. Ask Jeanine for her number yourself, Greta.

You think if they did it would make any difference? Where you been lately.

The cryptic guys used to swoon over hand crafted puzzles but I dunno, kind of hard to tell.

That's a bit harsh! Whose posts, among those who disagree with you about anything, do you think offer anything of value?

If a person is right about one thing, they cannot therefore be wrong about anything else.

I can't see it and I haven't blocked anybody.

How did it work? It seemed like the kind of thing that might have worked but as the kids say, meh. Leon's $ is irresistible. Clever snark just gets washed down the same drain as any other tactic, forgotten in a couple weeks.

You mean that place, this place for its faults doesn't seem to be falling apart at least, and no ads!

He has published extensively, try going to the source then forming your own opinion. Also, you can just agree or disagree with his opinions, no need to conclude some overarching 'angle'.

He can post about whatever he wants you don't have to participate in the discussion if you don't find it newsworthy.

Paywalled. Maybe having avoided jail Trump just wants to play golf and talk shit like any old FL retiree and leave the actual governance to those who have been undermining the very institution they now control. And let the rifts eg immigration, fall where they may, what does he care anymore.

Can you provide a link to an article that details this? I apparently have been under a rock.

That's an opinion piece. Papers publish lots of them. Question remains, where do you get your news?

You don't know that. Where do you get your news instead? Give us your recommendations.

This is trite, George. The issues are which ones, how many etc.

What government is not "totally corrupt"? What alternative do you propose instead of a government?

The talented engineer promoted into management. Must be good, right? Anybody remember the Peter Principle?

Right. It's quite reductive to equate a whole newspaper with "Bezos".

Democracy in 2024 was noisy and chaotic. It was also resilient.

Speaking of writing in clichés, "tells you all you need to know" is a popular nuance killer.

Also come to think of it, there are lots of people who I agree with about some things, and disagree with about other things. Like, so what? It's so odd.

How can you check what blocklists you are on? Agree, don't understand the assumption that following means agreement. It seems to stem from the inability to grasp that there could possibly exist people who may hold opinions, in good faith, that differ from your own.

Well I'm talking about YouTube.

It's like a news stand, quality is easy to find, you don't just watch any old thing that the algorithm, which spirals to low brow, suggests.

It seems like you didn't read the story. You ought to, it's not an appeal for sympathy.

Twitter is full of links to news articles and YouTube has many legit news channels.

You often see this "yet not a peep from MSM" angle then you Google it and see like five big outlets covering the thing on the first results page.

Could be, she lost due to gender + brownness didn't help, though brownness didn't hurt a different candidate. Or could be, these might have been overlooked if she had more time and voters were not unhappy for ideological reasons.

Of course a false dichotomy, but those are the options you presented!
