You have to hand it to the propagandists in the GOP … once they come up with the words, the entire party sings the same song.

It’s all part of flooding the zone.

Sorry, Adam. I tried. Not even remotely funny.

Not. At. All.

But, having the audio-visuals is just as important as to unmasking the self-obsessed idiot’s rambling incoherence … perhaps even more important.

I love watching the faces of the people arrayed behind him when he is shitting out verbal garbage like this … watch Starmer, in particular; his stiff upper lip almost failed.

“[T]he Times piece commits one misstep: It keeps describing those MAGA personalities as “provocateurs.” In fact, they are propagandists. Mainstream news outlets appear uncomfortable wrestling with the degree to which pro-Trump media figures practice propaganda undertaken in bad faith […] 1/2

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

JV DANCE: ProPublica is a left-wing blog.

Wow! So glad to hear this. It means that I have been helping to finance a group that is clearly getting under their skin.

If you have a few bucks to spare, help support real, consequential investigative reporting.

I’ve seen posts claiming this “truth” is evidence of dementia, but IMO that’s not the right frame. This is strategy. Since 2021, the right has been rewriting history, bending timelines, to connect their grievances (Covid) and conspiracy theories (Jan 6, censorship, etc) to the Biden administration.

If you guys or your staff are not yet reading Don Moynihan’s work, here is a good place to start.

Thanks for all you do.

You have no idea how much you are appreciated.

Gee … ya think ‘Gym’ will say the same thing if (when?) a Democratic president using social media to call for him to be prosecuted for … whatever it is that he’s done that keeps him squirming like a bug under a magnifying glass?

Wait. What?!?

I thought it was 274 hardcore Antifa Regulars that were sent to radicalize and enflame the mob of tourists who just came to observe democracy in action.

Saw such scenes many times while stationed at the shipyard in Kittery, waiting for my sub to get out of drydock.

Here’s Why Intolerance and Extremism Happen — and What We Can Do About All the Anger and Division - Teri Kanefield Hi, and welcome to Why Intolerance and Extremism Happen — and What We Can Do About All the Anger and Division.

Are you familiar with the work of Teri Kanefield (@terikanefield.bsky.social)?

Many of the ideas you broach here have been ‘bothering’ – in good ways – a lot of us here and Teri has written extensively on them. Start here (it’s a long read but worth it):

It bothers me so much to see those superficial parasites Jared and Ivanka insinuate themselves into such a serious situation.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

It’s Lisa Cook all over again … it will all come down to what was on the forms that were signed at the time of acquiring the loan.

Johnson reminds me of a two-year old who has learned some ‘new’ words and phrases and then seeks out opportunities to display that ‘knowledge’, regardless of whether it is appropriate or adds substance to the current topic of discussion.
