People keep saying I'm Will Stancil's alt, and honestly I'm considering trying to subtly feed that because I'm reasonably sure they'll actually believe it, and I think it'd be very funny for Stancil to have to publicly go "no I don't know nor am I my own cheap knockoff account"

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

What a disgusting way to talk to a journalist asking a simple and fair question. This is no way for any decent human being, much less the President, to speak.

Makes you wonder why he's being so defensive.
When a reporter on Air Force One asked President Donald Trump a question about Epstein's recently revealed emails, Trump snapped at her, responding with the phrase “Quiet, piggy.”

Now I'm just writing fanfiction, but I'd love if they'd used the whole "I don't trust the feds" thing the security and engineering chiefs had, but made it a part of an overarching story about the fed gov being a deeply flawed vehicle full of people who also genuinely want to help
And the JTF hits all the right notes for me, just regular guys and gals thrown into an utterly impossible situation, extremely well armed gangs in front of them and a buckling fed gov backing them up, and what do they do? They tighten their helmets and *try*, because the city needs them

It's such a shame that The Division's setting and story are locked behind a Ubislop (not necessarily derogatory) looter-shooter from nearly a decade ago. NYC in the dead of winter, order struggling against opportunistic vultures, all around a core rotted through with plague is just so god damn good

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Compare to the journo solidarity shown when Obama suggested Fox News might be more than slightly biased against him.
…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

The thing is. Imagine if anyone spoke to you like this in real life. There's approximately a 50% chance you'd punch them in the face. Every day is such an utter fucking disgrace to the presidency.

kind of says everything about the modern editorial direction of the Washington Post that they nearly completely dismantled their coverage of local DC metro issues yet want the Editorial Board to weigh in on other cities’ politics in this sneering tone
Oh, and don't forget the gratuitous shot at queer and trans communities at the very end of this screed:

i think that it is critically important to retaliate.
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.
