The President is lying. The media not being able to say so is literally killing us.

Taylor loves including subtle, artfully-worded allusions to her personal life in her music, but sometimes listeners who aren’t steeped in her lifetime of lore—or who didn’t major in English!—might miss them.
For example, these lyrics about Travis Kelce’s penis are secretly about Travis Kelce’s penis

They must laugh their asses off behind closed doors that this answer still works on the media.

When they know they can’t defend him for something objectively unhinged he’s done or said, they simply say “I didn’t see that.” Like, you’re actually IN politics and you don’t know what your *own President* is up to???!

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Look, these are trying times, so we need to find the joy where we can.

Today was meant to mark the first day of the Pacific Airshow, a wildly controversial event here in HB. Our city council is deep in bed with the owner, and it’s a whole mess.

Due to the government shutdown, no fed planes can fly

He wouldn’t go to Saudi Arabia and normalize the petro-oligarchs who bone-sawed my colleague Jamal Khashoggi. These comic cowards been whining about “free speech” forever. Now it’s “as long as I get paid, kill all the truth tellers you can find.” Sincerely: fuck these hypocrites. I’m past done.

I don't know if people -- in general -- know what "authoritarianism" is.

I don't know if they really know what "fascism" is.

But I think they're far clearer on what a dictator is.
Choice of words is very important right now.

There is absolutely no winning this moment with the current cautious approach. Either the republic is in peril or it’s not and the NY Times will continue to parse semantics.

"In the golden age of our democracy, this opinion might end
here. After all, the facts prove that the President himself
approves truly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of
free speech..."

Reading this opinion and holy shit is it worth it.

There really needs to be more of this kind of talk. Make fun of them using colloquial words. Giving middle of the road pundits room to quibble with the distinctions between fascism and authoritarianism clogs the discourse. POTUS is an idiot, which is indisputable to anyone but the brainwashed.
