Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.
The Nonresponse To Donald Trump

Gawt DAMN. Hello dere!
The social relevance of the Turning Point USA half-time show in comparison to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is roughly equivalent to the cultural footprint Allen & Rossi left when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles.

Russians are trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia. Because it's the #1 source of training data for AI systems, it can also be used to "poison" platforms like ChatGPT and Claude AI.

Can't forget that Maduro is a close Putin ally and this all could be a Russia-Witkoff-Kushner-Maduro ratfuc-ing operation in the US; and Maduro allowed he/his wife to be seized for a cut of the oil proceeds, to keep his party in power, and an eventual Trump pardon (like former Honduran President).

Is the Sports World Finally Giving Up its Right to Remain Silent?
Last year, in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism, the sports industry remained quiet. Now with the killing Renee Good, it may be waking up to the dangers of this administration.

If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening.
Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran
