All of this is what CNN, WaPo, NYT, etc. wanted. They wanted this. They want chaos and insanity because it drives views and clicks. That's why they relentlessly sanewashed Dear Leader and Project 2025.

That's the thing that gets me. Dudes, I work for a company that provides CX services. Why do you think I'd need a server farm, or join up with an IT Incubator in (really) Uzbekistan? I honestly wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't so irrelevant.

Maher has been MAGA ever since the Me Too movement discouraged him from groping strippers.

I had this exact same experience with one of my favorite book series: The Pelbar Cycle by Paul O. Williams. I couldn't get into it at first and now over the years I've read the series through several times.

Hoo boy, were they asking that question in the wrong subreddit. I'm a historian myself and those people are some of the most pedantic folks I've ever seen. Even online. :)

Of course, the NYT would never cite this lunacy as an example of Dear Leader's cognitive decline. For the Grey Lady, any Trump insanity is just "outlandish".. at worst.

I don't click on NYT links since they are no longer a reputable news organization. But I bet dollars to doughnuts that this article doesn't mention TACO Trump gutting weather tracking. I guess so he can show us with his sharpie.

I've always liked this review of Alien:

"Alien is a movie where nobody listens to the smart woman, and then they all die, except for the smart woman and her cat. Four stars."

β€œCan you launch a missile horizontally?”

β€œSure. Why would you want to?”

For some reason, this exchange as stuck with me.

The Times and other legacy media new this was going to happen. They wanted it, which is why they sanewashed Dear Leader. They wanted to do these crisis articles to drive clicks and views, but make no mistake. This is what they wanted.

This is all part of the legacy media's playbook. Sanewash and prop up Trump for the election and then get clicks and views through "crisis" articles in a chaotic situation in which they themselves are complicit. I won't reward them for their self-serving support of Nazis.

The NYT itself is complicit in this. "Crisis" articles and histrionics for clicks is exactly what they wanted when they sanewashed and propped up Dear Leader for re-election.

Yeah, this is a bad plan. If only for the reason that the Russians love asymmetrical warfare where they support "insurgents" (in reality Russian troops) in a "disputed" region, and the conflict just goes along for years, eating away. It would just cause a lot of debate and hand-wringing inaction.

Elon wrote it for him, no doubt.

It's extremely disingenuous for the Times to print something like this. All this chaos and evil is exactly what they wanted and worked for by sanewashing Trump, so we'd have constant click-bait stories like this. They're complicit. They don't get to pretend at democracy now.

Both the Canadians and Mexicans were doing all this already. I see that AP is taking their headline cues from the NYT.

I'm pissed off that this is already getting sanewashed and normalized as the "Elon salute". It's a Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute, Nazis do it. Those who do it are Nazis.

Elon did a Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute. That's what it still is. It's not an "Elon salute". People who do it are Nazis.

Obviously, they have to go through and "inspect" those files closely first. With a nice black marker and/or a fire.

There is no historical evidence to indicate that there is any point that these MAGA-bots would push back.

I assume she waited to post that until after the $ transfer from Elon hit her account.

He’s the Secretary of Defense that the Times wanted. And now they want to do their pearl clutching to sell clicks and subs. They’re complicit.
