I remember when Bill Clinton—a FORMER president—met Obama’s sitting AG on an airplane and it was a massive scandal. Now, here’s Trump’s new AG just doing Trump political rallies like it’s NBD.

What kills me is that the mainstream media, then and now, this very day, could turn the country against Trump, easily. Minus 15-20% that will never leave him. If only they could come together with the kind of energy they had for curb-stomping Biden. They could turn this around. But they NEVER will

I love the fact that they're blaming Jimmy Carter and just hoping we all forget that Reagan illegally interfered with Carter getting the hostages released and was never prosecuted for it because he won.

I have no doubt this is what Elon believes and he messages it constantly. But my own sense here is that this is closer to Big Lie mechanics - stating a contrary set of maximal factual statements to give supporters talking points, a way of framing an issue.

We really don’t reckon enough with how the flattening of truth and misinformation on social media + the right-wing takeover of all prominent “neutral” media = an environment where consequences for the far right don’t really exist anymore. Cowardice, confusion, complicity, & complacency rule the day.

Haven't seen the Odyssey yet, but if the final scene isn't Odysseus putting a feather quill back in its ink well, sighing with satisfaction as he gazes on his completed book, and flipping to the title page—"My Big Trip, by Raymond Odysseus"—I will scream. I am functionally illiterate.

Exactly. The president is going to spin some incredible lies about the 2020 election and the media -- and every single Democrat in the country -- has to be ready to smack this bullshit down immediately. Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

Beyond infuriating to know how many of the same reporters who today are so clearheaded about the obvious motivations behind Trump’s upcoming bullshit about the 2020 election work for media institutions that will play into the weaponized neutrality Trump is counting on.

When people say that there is a bias against conservatives in places like the Times that reflects their failure to understand that the Times (like many university spaces) lowers standards to represent right-wing views for purposes of intellectual diversity.

Standing ovation for one of our greatest scream kings. I always loved and appreciated how fully Sam Neill gave himself over to his Horror roles - and how you got the sense he kept going back to the genre again and again not because that's where a job was, but because that's where he wanted to play.
