Johnson should have illustrated his point with DefSec’s text of war plans to Jeff Goldberg.

Open and transparent

It’s how they take up SPACE to obscure they are the minority.
They are master manipulators.
Don’t get gaslit.
WE ARE WAY BIGGER.
WE are the majority.

"The truth is, what Donald Trump says matters less than what those behind him do. And that may be the most dangerous reality of all".

The President in Decline: Trump’s Mind, His Myths, and the Machinery Around Him

He’s 79, impulsive, and increasingly detached from reality — but the people behind him may be the greater danger.

Noah is telling us what they usually conceal from us.

This impulse lurks just below the surface of Christian nationalism.

Donald Trump really really doesn’t like this photo, so whatever you do… don’t share it. He would HATE that. 😈

Too much focus on this. They won’t be damaged by Grijalva because they will find a way (likely already have) to peel a couple more away. Haven’t we seen this many times ???

Trump and many others (some dems) can never allow the entire Epstein story to be factually confirmed to the public

My day was going 1/2 way ok until I viewed this

Afterthought……….

They have no ethical standard when it comes to misinforming their Magats.

Using a comparison as this which might be technically true at the surface, but hits a 10 for intellectual dishonesty.

Mike serves these up every day with his practiced and feigned sincerity .

Tom of BlueSky @tomofbluesky.bsky.social · 11d

More trickery from Mike. I think his example of the “American woman citizen” assumes she is insured

If he were forced to answer what the difference paid between the South American and an uninsured US citizen , he would have to admit :

Difference is $0

Insurance = managed care agreements

NYT finally put a story on their website at 2:30pm EST today. I wrote them(and I’m sure many others) this morning

No excuse. Disgrace. We can rely on NONE of our legacy corporate media in the business of actually reporting news

Judge Diane Goodstein’s home was bombed while her family was there .

Why must I read about this in the Guardian on Sunday and there is NO reporting on this in WAPO or NYT?
