CBS News: Now bringing you less news and more fascist propaganda
The Bari Weiss plan is for CBS News to employ fewer reporters charged with finding things out and more (right-skewing) commentators charged with telling them what to think. Same playbook Wash Post is using. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/n...
After rocky start, Bari Weiss to cut staff, add commentators at CBS News
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss came in with a mandate to reshape coverage. She is set to announce plans for newsroom cuts and the hiring of many new commentators.

you know what sets him off? I’ve watched the beginning over and over and you know what sets him off?
that the observer dares to raise a hand to defend himself when the agent shoves him
just that totally natural response of self-defense when you’re being assaulted
and the agent fucking loses it

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)
Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

saw someone asking what will be the suicide rate of past ICE agents a few years from now and frankly i do not think they have enough of a consciousness to feel guilt and do that
the real question is how many of those guys will try to kill their ex wife and kids, THAT is 10 times more likely imo

I reacted to this with visceral revulsion
so one thing that I've never seen anyone write on, and I apologize in advance, is Donald Trump as an object of female sexual fantasy.
We know that Hitler, Stalin, Mao all got *thousands* of letters from women on a constant basis. And you can see it, I think, in some of the women at rallies.
