Happy Holildays! We are having the best Christmas ever. My husband, Bill, completed six months of chemo last night. Back in May, he was hospitalized with a blockage and sepsis. The surgeon removed 10 inches of colon and a large tumor. Bill's been undergoing chemo since.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Do y’all realize that if:
Every public building in D.C. was renamed the “Trump so and so”;
If every corporation put Trump on its Board;
If every citizen swore fealty to Trump;
If every foreign leader brought him gold;
If the U.S. was renamed the U.S. of Trump;
It still would not be enough.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.
