@nicollewallace.bsky.social Scaramucci was describing Jon Stewart. Reality showman policy wonk.

The Democratic Party also serves its corporate masters. Trying to make it seem like it’s just the GOP that does that is nonsense. That’s the kind of incredible statement that loses the Democratic Party voters. You’re full of shit and they know it.

Deadline White House today is absolutely terrible. All about elections. All about horse race. None of it about actual facts. None of it about accountability for the action. All tactic and rhetoric. And the Democratic Party has already proven itself to be completely inept rhetorically.

@msnbc.com your focus on 26 is irresponsible. Talking to strategists about an election more than a year away is covering the game… it’s not a game. And those strategist lost two elections to Trump.
Try doing the news and not the horse race

They have normalized his behavior since day one.

Because the media no longer acts from a place of reporting the truth.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.

Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?

Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

It was our involvement in the Regime in Iran that led to the revolution.

Saw you on MSNBC this morning. Been a long time since I’ve seen that. Always appreciate your viewpoint.

This is a list of shame. And any money client should never hire one of these firms for anything. Not a damn thing.

Unfortunately, that’s been everyone’s attitude. Someone else needs to stop him.

How about you stand up and do it, sir?

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Sen. Schumer is fundamentally out of touch with what’s going on. His flaccid, wrote political analysis is business as usual in unusual times. Trump is at war with the government he runs, to break it…. All of it. Schumer complains as he watches from the side.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
This is applaudable.

And then there is Schumer…
alanbbayer.bsky.social
Doesn’t sound very objective to me.
These people are just propaganda all the time. You can’t expect more than talking points, no matter what the role. Even Attorney General.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
It’s kind of shocking how smug this guy is. He smiles when he lies. He makes light of things that are important. And he does it with this condescending look and tone like you’re stupid to even question it. Who falls for this shit?
alanbbayer.bsky.social
The issue isn’t what affect it had on this particular mission. And if the media lets him get away with that, they will once again have failed miserably at their jobs.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
For sure they were trying to avoid any records for any reason.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
But we know this doesn’t cut through. Because it always happens. It never cuts through.
That mechanism will never cut through. It’s only the significance of the information that well.
Talk about the implications. People don’t care that they’re hypocrites.

Why is no one paying attention to Rubio here?
He knows not to have these communications handled this way. Hegseth is a novice. Rubio knows what he is doing.

Does cognitive dissonance matter to them?

Exceptionally hard for people to accept they’ve been duped. Easier for their egos to deny reality than accept their failures.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
I always appreciate your views. They are holistic and nature yet still grounded in capitalistic principles. Very few people are able to balance these two things.

Paul Weiss’s capitulation is an incredibly troubling sign. A well healed, well funded law firm caved without a fight. To me, this is a remarkable black eye on the profession. Shameful. Unprincipled. Terrifying.

We haven’t taught civics in more than a generation. It’s why we’re in this mess.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
He just proved he is not qualified for this job at this time

Trump does not care about his numbers. He’s trying to break the system and sees power. And this guy is sitting there talking about poll numbers. What a joke.
alanbbayer.bsky.social
Hammering away at Trump?
This man is so far up his own ass, he can’t see light.
