Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

Yep. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

Maybe two of these moist establishment Democrats in Colorado, John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet (who are both running for office, unlike Polis) should lean hard on Polis, since pardoning Peters will damage the Democratic brand in the state… 🤔

Colossal suckers and gullible chumps, all of them

"The person threatening to shrink the tent here is Polis, by reminding Democratic voters that their party’s leadership is overrun with people who are not up for the fight to save democracy." 🎯

This is correct, and a much better plan than to sit back and wait for Polis to do something awful

Impeach Jared Polis? It may be necessary...

If Jared Polis caves to extortion and pardons an unrepentant insurrectionists, he should be impeached and removed. But everyone involved would probably be better off in Colorado Dems brandished the threat, and Polis backed down. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

lol?

Fuck yes. MAGA must go, but so do squishy powerful guys like this. They cannot be trusted with our future.

Yes. If he does this, legislative leaders in Colorado should make clear right now, that they will remove him from office.

Polis is now making risible arguments to support a clearly indefensible idea. That’s shameful. But the damage to the party and country if he followed through would be severe and require some response. Impeachment happens to be the only one of any consequence.

Reminder: Tina Peters’s crimes were much civically graver than the median January 6 insurrectionist’s. And she revealed herself to be the kind of person who’d fake contrition to receive clemency, then recant. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

feels like insanity is catching these days

Impeach Jared Polis? It may be necessary...

Addendum/clarification: I wrote pardon in the initial post, but the argument applies to commutation as well, which is what Polis is contemplating. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

If this is what “we” (she) actually believed, she should probably not be head of strategy of any kind for any financial institution.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

The Campaign to Take Down Alex Bores Is Just the Beginning A leading AI industry-backed Super PAC is targeting a pro-regulation candidate — and building a strategy that other politicians will have to contend with.

So a co-founder of Palantir is funding political attack ads against a guy pushing for AI regulation, who used to work at Palantir, using the fact that he worked at Palantir against him.

(FWIW, I think Bores has some very bad regulation ideas, but still...)

Watch this video.

This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.

We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
