I’m still holding out hope that this cave is a trick to get the House back in session. Even if it isn’t, there’s still time to prevent the cave from happening because the backlash has been quite intense today. 🀞

Hot take: even if the Dems get nothing in the deal, they already won. They literally won, like five days ago.

Is there any chance that this is a trick by Schumer, or are these 8 Democrats really caving?

For a minute, I thought Trump was going to take safety nets away from Democrats as an issue by seeming to β€œcare” more about it. It now seems obvious that they don’t and never did. Also, whatever respect I had for Brooke Rollins is now gone.

I really didn’t want them to win, but this is a good point I guess. I hope the Blue Jays bring the same fire next year, though.

Ok, they need to give an Emmy to whoever followed up the big fight on the field by playing Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood going to commercial. 🀣🀣🀣

So the batter gets hit, and the next batter responds by somehow hitting the pitcher back. This game is insane! #worldseries

Andy I couldn’t agree with you more. This is not a great list at all. However, coming up with a β€œ6 for 26” is a good idea, I would just choose guardrails like VRA 2.0 or something like that.

Seriously, Fox News really is like church to those who watch it. They really do think of the outgroup (i.e. Democrats) as lost, unholy, or downright evil. This is also why CNN or MSNBC or any other network interested in objective news reporting could never replicate it.

However, it also explains most of the Democrats they do have on. If they are viewed as potential converts, they are always welcome. John Fetterman is the present favorite, for example. Disgruntled former Biden staffers are common too.

2. More importantly, I realize that its popularity is due to the church like vibe. They treat every segment like they are all members of a church and are fellowshipping with each other. It lends itself easily to vilification of the outgroup, and that happens every hour of the day.

1. Most of what the resistance knows about is just not talked about at all. I figured there would at least be some legit news, but no. Nada.

No reference to any bad things Trump is doing at all, and almost no liberals or anyone giving additional info.

Most shows have no one at all doing this.

I’m watching Fox News for a whole day as an experiment for a video I will be doing soon. The fact that they tell lies and mischaracterize and find angles is not surprising. But there are two glaring truths I’ve learned:

The concert tribute at the World Series right now is touching. It would be even better if it wasn’t happening in a world where funding for cancer research was being cut, though.

Honestly, Bret Baier is imminently more qualified than Bari Weiss, who should not be anywhere near a news room.
