He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Oops, you misspelled racist vigilante.

Don't bother posting to their comments about that, or the NYT's role in downplaying, deriding, and false equivalencing anyone warning this was coming. They're deleting those.

Zohran Mamdani, who is scary and Muslim and foreign, could personally come to your home and seize any Israeli hummus and do sharia. Here's how. And did you know he's Muslim? Yes, look at this otherwise irrelevant picture of him being terrifyingly Muslim.

You might not know, but a tattooer would.
It's not just a totenkopf, it's the emblem of the 3rd ss panzer division. That wouldn't be in their flash if they didn't do nazi work. So if it's in their flash, you're in a nazi tattoo parlor and it would be with other nazi designs.

I assume the number of mentions of Reagan in the last week awakened her.

Worry about your own king and your pedophile prince.

If someone is asking me to do them a favor the availability that matters is mine not theirs. Basically cold calling me with your availability would significantly decrease the chances of me responding.

Standing by your unfaithful husband is not the same as standing by your husband as he uses his national platform to stir up hatred and violence towards people who look like you and your kids.

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

people will complain that there's no longer a shared truth, and blame it on right wing media or fox or the public.

but mainstream media largely abandoned the idea that there should be standards of truth for the right some time back.

when I was at Newsweek (in news) people would complain CONSTANTLY about the opinion section publishing utter falsehoods by Benny Johnson and Andy Ngo and just get shrugs in response

They also turned on Dinesh and Ramaswamy in the last week-ish. I don't know who will be next, but I hope it's Kash Patel or Vance's wife.

Deciding to showcase your cleavage rather than journalistic ethics was an interesting choice.

Wasn't it Puck that killed coverage of Will Lewis covering up criminal activities at Murdich's tabloids in exchange for a fluffy exclusive interview with Lewis?

I interpret doing this now, not in January when new messages showing he'd stayed in contact with Epstein came out, to mean they know there's more, they assume it will come out, and they want to be in front of it.

Of course it could be a different scandal. Isn't he also involved with Chinese spies?

It's not like he can give the real reason: the toddler-in-chief has been itching to nuke something since his first term and they're starting to worry about how that's going to manifest and are hoping this will satisfy him.

I was curious about that so searched posts from a few you've been going back and forth with today. Not a single post from any of them about Mamdani.

Your opinion is ill-informed bigotry that you refuse to examine and you've made it clear that you don't actually support the T or I in that acronym.

Newsome's anti-trans policies aren't limited to sports. You know too little about this topic to be taking about it.

We're going to mount a successful opposition to the far right by just adopting their framing and their policies. Sure, that means we'll be pushing far right policies, but it's totally different because we're not far right, see? See????

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

One of the historic cars in San Francisco's street car fleet is an open air "boat tram" which is cool both because it's an open air boat tram, and because they don't allow standing passengers so they never get crowded. They only run them on the rare nice days and special occasions though.

A green and white street car with no roof, so the 20 or so passengers have a wonderful view of the city and they can enjoy the sun.
