Where’s the lie though
The President telling a prime time network news host effectively "I got you this job" is not something you see every day.
DOKOUPIL: When I travel the country, they tell me they don't feel it because grocery prices are up--

TRUMP: They're going to now. I've only been here for 11 months. I inherited a mess. If she got in, you wouldn't have this job right now.

Meanwhile Trump rips off the American government daily as he implements fascist rule across America and not a peep from you about that!

Listen, if you're scared of Trump, just say that!
Kamala goes around using fascism to sell her book and American liberals still defend her open grifting lmao.

It’s absolutely incredible how many men are reporting on this as if they had no part in it.

So they’re just content creators then! Perfect…..
This is just the reductio ad absurdum of modern journalism. Reporters are no longer in the background, they think they are now the product. They cultivate sources for scoops that grow their social media, get them booked on cable TV, and those sweet sweet book deals. It's all they care about.
I cannot emphasize how much “be the news” is the opposite of what I was taught about how to be a good journalist and strikes me as an excellent way to churn out elite solipsism that has nothing to do with the public interest and everything to do with self promotion www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/b...

Instead of reporters just doing stenography when Trump claims he had no idea that DOJ had opened an investigation into Jerome Powell, perhaps they should look at what he's doing and not what he's saying and then allow readers to draw their own conclusions.
The president is reportedly mad at the slow pace at which his lackeys are jailing his political enemies www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is bullshit. White men stopped going to college on their own. For various reasons. The anti-education movement by white people in general wanted to shift to skill jobs. Nothing is wrong with that but don't act like its because of Civil Rights.

A lot of dudes lie to themselves about what women want cause they don't have enough game to pull a woman. And by game I mean being able to hold a convo not about sex or sports.
This is so typical. The large majority of women do not expect men to be tall or rich because most aren't. That is a lie men tell each other. Women DO expect men to be kind, self sufficient, have some integrity and ambition. That shouldn't be too high a bar.

I don't even watch college football. But I am watching all these Alabama and Oregon fans get mad because Indiana hired a coach that cares if his O-Line gets paid, and treats his players well, so they followed him through the transfer portal to his new school.

College sports is a civil rights issue.
As you get mad seeing your favorite college teams lose to randos, know this:

1. I truly don't care. Hold that L.🤷🏿‍♂️

2. We did this to improve college athlete graduation rates, and to reduce college athlete poverty. This is a civil rights issue.

And yes, athlete graduation rates are up since NIL!

The most shoplifted retail items in the US, are items that Black men *don't even use*, but white women use a lot.

Seriously.

But I'm the one that gets followed around your store while Winona Ryder robs you blind? 🤡
My favorite shoplifting fact is the one that makes Black men crack up laughing every time!

The data shows that the most shoplifted items are: cosmetics, and multi-blade razor blades.

1. Most Black men don't use cosmetics🤡
2. Most Black men don't use multi-blade razors🤡

But they follow us around?🤷🏿‍♂️
I actually agree with the Post's source about this part though, I don't find bridging to mental health to be a very good response to retail theft questions. Saw this in one of the debates nypost.com/2025/07/15/u...

Prediction- they will ship this murderer out of state to protect him from state charges. Trump "pardons" him and whatever state they sent him to will refuse to send him to MN citing the Presidents "orders". It will lead to chaos in the courts.

*checks notes*

The majority of white men & women voters who chose this yet again as always since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Everyone else who voted for it too.

Everyone who sat out

Everyone who voted against it but spent the whole time suppressing the vote

Access journalists normalizing it…
There’s is no shortage of people to blame for this particular moment in American history

Based on my interactions this weekend, it's still not registering with a lot of folks that Black Americans have been well and truly done since November 2024. We're resting and taking care of our own, and no amount of begging, pleading, mocking, or condescending is going to change that.
