Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.
This is as rambling a Trump speech as I've ever heard: old Biden, crime-ridden Washington DC, the MAHA discovery of a cure for autism, interspersed with occasional anecdotes about Charlie Kirk. On Fox News, I just saw a shot of people sneaking out early from the seated areas to avoid the rush.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.
A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19
What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us?

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.
Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.
