I was thinking that fake fish would have an easier time keeping pace with the train.

Perhaps Brian Stelter has been captured.

Perhaps it would be more practical to project sea creatures on the tunnel walls. Some kind of long, thin version of the Las Vegas Sphere.

Seems inevitable that this administration would place "think" in its "woke words" list. Even putting it next to the macho "tank" wasn't enough to save it.

This administration doesn't even refer to violations of our own Constitution's laws as "illegal acts", unless it's to punish a political enemy, so calling violations of the UN Charter "illegal acts" would have to come from a different universe than the one we find ourselves in.

Aw, she's just trying to be like all the cool, online kids.

I want Trump to take all the off-ramps. Just go. Now.

What if it is distractions all the way down?

Cultural objectives of the state too.

I agree, in general, but when a Democrat acts like a Trumper, it is worth reporting. The fact that the reporter was involved in the story is neither here nor there. It would be different if the reporter had done something deliberately so that she could report on it.

"She's nasty like a Republican" just doesn't do it for me. Of course, I am not a Texan.

If it was a bad call by a staffer we should get an apology from Crockett. Not going to hold my breath for that one.

It's yet another example of the mystery of our time. They do so many stomach-churning things every single day. How do their supporters not see things as we do? RFK Jr. says we should eat liver to save money. No one will care, really. Bannon was right, sad to say.

Sure, I know that. But isn't the current case a good example of why it is bad for a politician to block access to a reporter they don't like? I am not familiar with this reporter's work but, based on the comments here, it doesn't sound like it comes close to the "troll" level.

No politician should censor a reporter because they don't like what they write about them. They should let the reporter's readers develop their own opinion. Such censorship and access control is pure Trumpism and anti-democratic.

I took it to mean that she was left at a place lacking easy transportation out of there. Maybe she had to wait 20 minutes for an Uber or something. LOL

Sure but will it be quick enough to prevent the damage? Courts delay action in order to give POTUS the benefit of the doubt, assume regularity, and good faith. Finally, Trump controls enforcement.

You forgot the quotes around "reasoning".

They are lucky participants in our new H-1C visa program which deports particularly stupid people to a random country.

Anything Trump says about solving affordability reminds people that it's a problem. It is much easier to declare it fake news. Unfortunately, affordability is one area where citizens don't depend so much on the media for their information. Calling their checkbook "fake news" doesn't seem to work.

Glad you are doing this now. There certainly won't be any quality thinking done during the speech.

They get their news from Fox News or their Trumpist neighbors? I think I got this one right.

It is traditional when reporting stock moves to pull something out of thin air to explain them but this is verging on satire.

I assume that coprolalia is the scientifically sanitized version of shit-speak, something we know only too well here on social media.

Interesting how it keeps looking at the hand, as if to say "How are you doing this?"
