Actually, both.

We just found out that they sat on damaging shit about Trump in 2015.

That's just example # a million of them helping Republicans

Because they hate liberals.

Actually the tamest (and worst) headline from MSM was the one on NPR: "White House downplays new Epstein emails that mention Trump."

That's it. That's the entire headline. It was up all day yesterday and is still there today. No other stories about the emails

NPR sucks almost as much as the times

Probably page A23 or the like in tomorrow's print edition.

*Definitely* page A23 by Friday.

There are only two types of times reporters: awful reporters and awful reporters by association.

No innocent people here.

Being a Democrat and a Mavs fan is like stabbing yourself in the head twice.

This may be true, but how does that help anyone to win an election?

If the voters are idiots, you still have to get them to vote for your candidate.

The Ariana Grande theory of politics - Lawyers, Guns & Money Bear with me while I lay out this analogy. I just reviewed all the songs that hit #1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart in the years I was in high school. (1973-77). There were 150 such songs, and I found I w...

I don't think low information voters are gullible in general. I think they're just super ignorant and unaware of things.

If you believe in conspiracy theories, there's an entire political party that will welcome you with open arms!

(Hint: it's not the democrats)

The 2024 election was 100% about inflation. There was never even a coalition. Just a lot of low-information voters who thought that Trump would lower prices.

Gates isn't a climate scientist and has no idea what he's talking about.

Embarrassing to see this being shared here.

There was one next to our water heater when we moved into our house. I just put it out in the yard.

You know who was the best at this?

Bill Clinton.

Keep it simple, stupid.

It's the economy, stupid.

No national democratic political figure since has been as good at this stuff. (And that includes Obama)

And the media is back to both-sidesing climate change again. Great.

In 2000, I seriously considered switching my party registration to R so I could vote for GWB in the primary--i considered him unelectable.

I didn't do it, but lesson learned. No one can predict what voters will do.

There is so much low-hanging fruit out their for politicians that is never even attempted. Why not? I can only conclude that most elected politicians are idiots.

Now I'm afraid that the Post is going to do a hit piece about me because in our house, we called my parents adult friends aunt & uncle.

Every one of these drink recipes is like 5 things I've heard of and one thing that is surely made up because I've never in my life seen those letters together in a word.

Orgeat? No way that's a real thing.

Actually, a grossly unsustainable egg industry is what's taking eggs.

I hope prices go to $50 a dozen.

I had one for backpacking and gave it away after a couple of years. Everything seemed to take forever to finish. And most of it wasn't all that tasty. Plus it was noisy and heated up the house.

The dried apples were delicious though.

I once gave a short talk about great tits to a room full of psychology grad students, and there was so much giggling that I had to pause the talk to explain that, yes, that's the real name.

I didn't think they were.

But the defining thing for me here is the total lack of empathy.

Personally, I think this person is a sociopath, not a narcissist.

I don't see how anyone with any empathy for other human beings could write that article.

...actually it's not amazing. It's not even surprising given that the media is bending over backwards to support him.

Amazing that there hasn't been a mainstream media article collecting all the times that trump has called Black people low-IQ versus other races.

There was a huffpo piece on this, but they used chatgpt to do research, and does anyone even read huffpo anymore?
