Trump/Musk is flooding the zone, here is how you keep up: Trump taking cash bribes from oligarchs in exchange for power, Oligarchs steal from US gutting safety & opportunity for working families, Trump/Oligarchs doing horrible things to innocent people to distract US from their crimes against US.

Middle ground is only possible if the competing parties are willing to operate *within* an agreed upon type of government, which is no longer the situation.

There literally is no middle ground between fascists & democrats, as they are advocating for two mutually-exclusive competing types of government.

Imagine being someone paid to understand politics and thinking huge numbers of *non-hardcore MAGA* turned off Super Bowl half-time show with one of biggest performers in world to watch some weird showcase of random losers, and that convinced them to love Trump paramilitary killing innocent civilians

Media & Political Elite (including many non-MAGA) live in a crazy information echo-chamber, and it is having profoundly negative effects on US.

By leaning into markets designed to be interesting *because of inside-information* they are putting any traders without inside-information at an obvious disadvantage. While the information here is dispersed, it is not idiosyncratic, making it an uninteresting type of question for prediction marekts.

Kalshi claims $70.3 million have in bets have been placed on "which brands will advertise during the big game," which is a thing that many people in many positions will have known for some time before tonight

NBC censuring Olympics roundly booing Vance is meaningful because important for US to know that (1) rest of the world hates & mocks our leaders (2) Corporate Media is collaborating with Trump Regime.

One hand: we all hate the Patriots and don’t want them to experience joy of making the Super Bowl

Other hand: deeper Patriots make it in playoffs, less available their plane is for ICE to use to traffic innocent people to terrible fates

There are so many reasons to hate the Patriots. But for me, it starts and ends with the ICE collaborators they're enriching.

I keep thinking about Ted Cruz, who fervently backed Texas Republicans' partisan gerrymandering scheme, crying online about how mean it is that Virginia Democrats pulled off a partisan gerrymandering scheme.

I know he has no principles, but Jesus Christ, man, have some self-respect and dignity.

Trump both ordered the racist post, because knows all

And he takes no responsibility for the post, because he had nothing to do with it

It is called Schroeder’s leadership accountability: all good things are because of Trump, all bad things have nothing to do with him.

Trump Official (1): nothing wrong with the post!
Trump Officials (2): a staffer posted the post!
Trump: I posted it and it was great!

Asked on AF1 if he’s going to fire the staffer who allegedly posted the Obamas video, Trump says: “No, I looked at it. I saw it, and I just looked at the first part.” He says he “didn’t see” that part. Will he apologize? “No, I didn't make a mistake.”

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Corporate Media needs to pull their reporters off of their stools at the Midwestern diners and into the Midwestern streets where typical Americans are fighting back for the future of our country, that the Elites collaborated with Trump to destroy.

After 10 years of relentlessly chasing the hate & ignorance & negativity of the Trump Voter Corporate Media has completely loss touch with the fear & knowledge & promise of the typical American.
