“...The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, /2

Why is Trump's name redacted? He is not the victim. [If you read the section below, you may vomit.]
The DOJ is blocking his name for his vanity.

Trump is an idiot. He just doesn't know it. That's why he keeps saying dumb stuff. He is absolutely convinced that IF HE SAYS IT, IT MUST BE TRUE

The orange felon says the Epstein Files are a “Democratic Hoax” and yet he still felt it necessary to doctor documents and hide evidence whilst redacting everything that would be damaging to him.
That’s called GUILTY AF.

Neighbour down the road's got a field bluff of 16-foot saplings all bent over at the middle, looking terribly sad, and ready to snap, for the weight of all the ice, and from now on we're going to call the road he lives on Poilievre 2025 Lane.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

Has anyone ever done a toilet made entirely of diamonds before? No? Not even Putin? Beautiful. Okay, let's go ahead and do the diamond toilets then. And what about the velvet toilet paper? Have you ordered the velvet toilet paper yet?

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.
