Bari to learn about the Streisand Effect on Monday.
Bari Weiss censoring "60 Minutes", protecting Trump and El Salvador's dictator.
But she's such an amateur that it's all exposed, she's caught, as reporter's harsh letter goes public. CBS is crashing.

Trump, in his own words, said "Let's Go Brandon" wasn't harsh enough and he just preferred "Fuck Joe Biden."
KARL: You talked about anarchists, antifa advocates, the pro-Hamas wing. I mean, 'Hate America Rally' sounds like enemies.
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there were a lot of hateful messages yesterday. We have video & photos of pretty violent rhetoric calling out the president. I don't think it's pro-American

I used to think "Do these people even know how insane they sound?" But now, after nearly 10 years of this, they've just cast aside all self respect so it just flows naturally. The entirety of the GOP is pathetic.
Roger Marshall: "If this was a baseball game, the House is going into the 7th inning, and we're gonna have to bring in our closer sooner than expected, so we're gonna bring in Donald Trump ... President Trump will be like Mariano Rivera."

It sure seems like the press needs to start abandoning these meetings and leave him with nothing but Fox, OAN and Newsmax.
Trump loses it at Peter Alexander: "What are you talking about? You oughta get out of here ... you're a terrible reporter. You don't have what it takes to be a reporter. You're not smart enough ... Brian Roberts and the people that run that place they ought to be investigated."

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.

Hard to argue with this.
Our government is being dismantled in a fast-moving coup because a bunch of ostensible adults are afraid of mean tweets from a spent 78 year old skin bag who wears Oompa Loompa makeup.

The United States, to hear some tell it, is currently experiencing a “plutocratic coup.”
Its democracy is in decline, reports have warned.
In light of that, I’d like to share a slightly personal story -- one that keeps me up at night:

Watch his video diatribe several years ago about his younger brother, Rick, basically blaming Rick for him having no relationship with him. As an older brother, it's incumbent upon you as the older sibling to try to bridge the gaps. He just walked away. Says a lot about Skip.

"This manifesto, these rantings and ravings of an individual that obviously has some aberrant thoughts in his mind and that's why he put it down on paper. So all of that is certainly very disturbing."

What about all those other questions you wanted to ask?
Forget them!
Exactly.
Once you accept that first lie and move on, why even bother asking more questions when you know it's going continue in a firehose of lies? What good does that do, unless your objective is to actually promote lies.

It's not surprising Trump wants people in his cabinet loyal to him, who will execute his whims and cravings.
It's also not surprising that Trump is less concerned about competency than the aforementioned loyalty.
Finally, it's ALSO not surprising there are so few both loyal to Trump AND competent.

He throttled me as a content creator, but wanted to flog me with ads and steal my IP. He throttled the content I was there to consume. The product and platform were worse all around. Also, he's about to be in cahoots with the admin, so it doesn't seem in my interests to enrich him further.
