A COUPLE OF EMAILS IS NOT A WHOLE NEWS STORY SAYS A FORMER NYT REPORTER

I CANNOT RIGHT NOW MAN, I AM CRASHING THE FUCK OUT. LOOK AT HOW STUPID THESE ASSHOLES THINK YOU ARE! THEY THINK WE ARE ALL TROGLODYTES!
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I'm so fucking sick of everyone tangentially related to the NYT always responding to every obvious fuckup with main-character huffiness about how everything they ever did was 100% principled despite constant overwhelming evidence to the contrary! I shouldn't have to know any of your names!

People on the left just desperately want to believe Trump support isn't sincere/only motivated because Feckless Dems aren't saying the right thing at any given moment. If Dems are talking about it, it *must* be the wrong approach to take, no matter what it is.
Okay, look, I gotta ask because I feel like I’m having a stroke. Did we switch teams on the democracy versus economics messaging? Because the way I remember it, the libs ran on democracy and the left said they should focus on material issues like healthcare instead and now it’s opposite, I think?

The shitlibs were right about all of the 2016 Left's heroes, and no one from the 2016 Left has ever had a single moment of introspection about it
Glenn Greenwald says Nick Fuentes' authenticity makes it easy for critics to "demonize and attack you by taking these quotes that can sound not just very racist, but very almost Nazi-like and kind of an extermination rhetoric." Um, yea. People who use Nazi-like rhetoric tend to get labeled a Nazi.

When Trump said "Russia, are you listening," he may have known for a fact that they were, not because Russia told him, but because Israel was spying on Russia and feeding the info to Trump.
The Trump Campaign's Collusion With Israel
While US media fixated on Russian interference in the 2016 election, an Israeli secret agent's campaign to influence the outcome went unreported.

Let me be clear: not just because of the nauseating hagiography, but also because of the underreporting of what happened at that Hyundai plant.

The back-to-back of that is enraging.

The media really showed how corrupt and rotten it's become.

I don't want to overegg it, but I am already seeing some "Mamdani is a sellout" allegations from leftists allergic to success.

Just like with AOC, these people want a performance of pure and noble martyrdom.

the NYC mayoral election might be an opportunity to reset some terms.

the Cuomo faction are not “liberals” but “centrists”.

the Lander faction are “liberals”

the Mamdani faction are “leftists”

if you’re mad at centrists but complaining about liberals you are mostly pissing on the wrong people

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Grateful to Joe Biden for ending one of the forever wars in Afghanistan. Still frustrated with those in society and the political system who don't reward politicians for ending wars that have outlived their usefulness, creating a strong political incentive never to end them.

Never forget that the irrevocable decline in Biden's popularity really started when Biden taking away the media's beloved war in Afghanistan produced an enormous amount of negative coverage bsky.app/profile/matt...
They will go to incredible lengths to avoid admitting simple reality:

-Forever wars were happening
-Biden chose to end them
-Trump is reversing that decision

There is no 'supposed' about it, no inevitable trend, there was one (1) president who decided to stop warring for a second
Ridiculous fucking headline. Nobody was "pulled"

a reckless lawless moron, a demented fascist goon who understands nothing chose to start a war with a large Islamic country for no apparent reason.
