I mean they know that releasing video with a segment cut out makes them look guilty AF, right?
Wtf is going on? I don’t believe they are this incompetent.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

My Chevy Bolt used 449 KW-hr’s in June.
My roof produced 681 KW-hr’s in the same month.
Leaving us 232 KW-hr’s, or about $23 in power,
But EV’s snd solar panels don’t make sense… in Western Washington… where it rains all the time.

So Republicans downplayed the Nazi salute claiming it wasn’t what we all saw, but some 8647 is code for assassination such that they tailed Comey for days after he posted it?
Yeah sure, Epstein totally killed himself…

So the house budget bill effectively screws Gen X federal employees. I have 26 years in, and now they’re are taking away retirement benefits I’ve earned.
Fucking Boomers… the most entitled generation. Told us to wait our turn, just to screw us when we’re next in line.

Changing the rules for federal retirements after us Gen Xers have been paying into it for decades and only have a few more years to go.
Slash benefits for current retirees as well. But this isn’t about balanced budgets, it’s about screwing the young to benefit the most entitled generation ever.

Building his business abroad, taking bribes from foreign countries, selling meetings and access…. If he’s doing all of this out in the open, what’s happening behind closed doors?

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Imagine if Biden had said people would have to tighten their belts, do without, suffer through an austere Christmas while he golfed, hawked meme coins and bragged about lavishing the Oval Office in gaudy gold.
They’d all be shitting wild kittens.

I don't trust trump's judgment on who the worst criminals are, based on the fact that he pardoned people who beat police officers to within an inch of their lives in an attempted coup after storming the Capitol.

There is a reason they’ve pushed us to invest our future in markets, it makes it easier to steal, bit by bit.

The S&P 500 is down 3% and a ultra right conspiracy theorist is advising Trump to fire the National Security Counsel for being insufficiently loyal. Nobody say this coming… right…. Right?

Interesting, I tried to install ‘Signal’ on my DOD managed phone, and the only approved AP is for Morse code signaling.
Has anyone asked if these folks were using their government or personal devices?
