X is a fascist propaganda website.

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

30!? How is that possible?

I'd lie on Norm and Cliff and Paul's stools!

As if you needed any more evidence that "Faux News" is state-run propaganda media:

TV person here: it is nearly impossible to run a a 4-month-old video BY MISTAKE particularly when the original video is brand new and a part of your on-going coverage.

This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.

It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper

Yup. And if other people get to chase it then he feels like he blew it. Better to shit on everyone else.

Interesting. I always thought of the Orbison coming from her radio on the porch.

He's so pissed. He's the previous generation of 'losers' they're escaping from.

Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.

Yeah I guess that makes more sense!

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

That's interesting too! I love the idea that it could be either...

Exactly.
Let's stop pretending this is about sensitivity to parenting.

okay but having a kid in a Pixar movie prompts the question of where babies come from and the answer is "the parents fucked"

those complains aren't and have never been about difficult conversations with kids, it's about making life easier specifically for bigots at the expense of everyone else

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

I've overthought "Thunder Road" too much but it wouldn't make sense that she slams the door if she's listening to music and dancing. Maybe it's her father and that leads to a whole other aspect to the song...

I know it’s not worth it but my god the GOP freakout over the Afghanistan withdrawal compared to how they talk about Iran, what’s it like to have no fixed opinions at all

Markwayne Mullin was caught lying on the record about the former CDC Director, Dr. Susan Monarez, by his Republican colleagues in the Senate chamber in September. He’s not honest or competent, and anyone who respects him is a fool.

He is wearing a fucking baseball hat.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Think what the media would've done if Obama wore a baseball hat all the times that this bloated cadaver wears a baseball hat.

That he gets to lie about this routinely and with impunity is galling.

This is an astounding and irresponsible and obvious lie by the Commander in Chief. This feels like another unthinkable red line crossed.

If Corporate Media reported honestly & aggressively on Trump’s mix of corruption & incompetence & cruelty & authoritarianism, if they had been honest about what his polices would do to US rather than pretended their was legitimate debate: Harris would have crushed Trump.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Ah yes, the senator who challenged a witness to a fistfight during a hearing will definitely bring a steadier hand.

Much as the senator who keeps confusing Iran and Iraq and apologized because he "was mispoke" there will surely help restore public confidence.
