Et tu CNN? (Asked with the most sarcastic accent possible)
Everything Trump touches is transactional.
We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

DOUBLE SCOOP! As @dfriedman.bsky.social was investigating a top Hegseth aide tied to a Goodreads page listing porno books featuring "Asian wife swapping" and sex with transgender women, MAGA hitman Jack Posobiec threatened to do a hit job on Dan. Smells like a Pentagon attempt at intimidation.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

CNN won a network-record 12 Emmy Awards, with 11 News Emmy Awards in 2024 alone

What is dishonest and corrupt about an organization that doesn’t get fake awards?

Fake peace prize, but real criminal conviction, representing real corruption, the DOJ now moves to dismiss. Hard to say whether it’s more predictable or more repugnant.

Senators Cotton and Perdue called Senator Durban a liar for disclosing that Trump using the term “shit hole countries”. Now that Trump admitted he did and repeated it in the rally last night, will they apologize to him? Will anyone ask them to comment on their lie? Are we so used to this?

January 1-3 my wife and I will stay Newport, Oregon explicitly in support for that community’s resistance to having an ICE detention facility in their midst. Boycotts are one thing, but affirmative support for communities that do the right thing is better in my view.

Trump constantly refers to “his people”. Don’t forget a second think that he is referring to the American people.

Harry Litman’s essay is the best thing out there about what SCOTUS will do in Trump v. Slaughter, argued Dec 8. Sure to be shredded is the FDR-era decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. U.S. But Litman goes much deeper and lays out the broad range of implications:

Plausible. It is more about oil than any MSM commentator cares to say.
People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Quite realistic that our Constitution can absolutely allow for kill squads to assassinate any political rival, including Presidential candidates, and get a free pass from a sitting President.

Prove me wrong.

Dear MSM broadcaster advertisers. I turn the channel every time I see the endless snuff films of boats being bombed. I doubt I’m alone, so unless your market target is snuff film freaks, you might rethink your ad spending.

The question of age verification for social media access (a low bar in my view) can best be framed with this question:
