Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate

Just saw a poll asking people if there was inflation at grocery stores... apparently there is no way to just report reality, and actual truth is just feels based.

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

a hugely important legal precedent has been set today

barely a metaphor lmao

Might get that put of a shirt for Thanksgiving with my father, who hates & never visits NYC and is freaking out about Mamdani.

We breathed in a fuckton of lead.

According to political media rules (starting January 2025) if a candidate wins they are allowed to do anything they want as long as it was vaguely in front of voters.

Anyways, bad news for Todd Gilbert and possibly any Republican in Virginia.

Yeah. Hard to bet against the favorite company of the state in a state run economy.

Feels like this is better for them than being kidnapped by actual ICE agents.

Rs: Make up a new issue that gets national traction every week and ride those fake issues to sweeping victories.

Ds: We must carefully poll people to see what they already believe and then tell them exactly what they want to hear. People famously love politicians that tailor messages this way.

It's pretty much guaranteed to be a runoff, no?

I get a chuckle out of "Ds need to be tougher on crime" as places run by liberals are doing objectively well according to crime stats. What Matt means here is Ds need to make a show of kicking criminals, not that they need to reduce crime.

Retailers Dealing With Increasing Levels of Theft and Violence Report emphasizes importance of preventive measures, coordination with law enforcement

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Absolutely horrific scene following this massacre, where police killed over 100 people.

Because it's not about the tax, it's about what the tax signals. It signals an administration unwilling to be bought out, and a loss of special access for monied interests.

In what way does he not completely control the narrative now? You are living in a fantasy world where the press is challenging him, they are not doing anything of the sort. They are simply repeating his lies as headlines day after day.

I don't even know what to do with my hands when I'm not in front of a camera.

OK. So explain it to me. He will either lie and be incoherent and the press will pass along either and then.... What? What do we learn from asking him questions and participating in publishing the lies as headlines and, maybe, some truth later in the article.

What is the point of asking a liar questions if the lies are consequence free?

All the press is doing is participating in distributing propaganda.

Only until he knocks down the rest of it.

I guess, if we needed to put a timestamp on the official time of death of the US, this would do.

See? Good things still do happen in this world.

They are who we thought they were.

That feeling in the pit of your stomach is there for a good reason.

I feel like the President hallucinating that a major US city is burning down under sustained attacks from an enemy that does not exist should be a bigger story. That is, it should be the only story, a break into other programs and report non-stop, story.
#Trump

The stock market reaction to Trump not getting the peace prize seems excessive /

Perhaps we should not have elected the most transparently corrupt person on the planet President and then given him unlimited power. Time will tell.

When everyone else is existence is just a supporting character to your main story, this sort of stuff seems perfectly OK.

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man
