CBS News is now so utterly devoid of ethos or professionalism that even their fucking house advertising now reads like the hackery of flag-waving yahoos rather than dispassionate, committed journalists. In a month or two. these frauds will be waving bibles and talking about how God is on our side.
What is this nonsense?
Oh yeah, insane, pro-Trump, pro-Netanyahu billionaires taking over CBS News.

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

The words “Locked and loaded” coming from the mouth of an unstable, manic man with access to weapons would trigger an immediate 72-hour psychiatric hold if his family brought him to an emergency room worried about the possibility of violence.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

The U.S. calls these targets “narco-terrorists,” but this evidence suggests a much smaller scale: melted plastic packets reinforced with tape washed up nearby, mostly empty though some had traces of marijuana. This is more indicative of small-scale ventures than big cartels.

“When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls.
Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””
