The White House knows they can call the press names, denigrate reporters, all of it — because those same reporters and mainstream outlets are in on the scam. They get access and scoops and book deals and career advancement by cozying up to the people who publicly abuse them. They don’t care.

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

That scene towards the end of Boogie Nights where the colonel is crying and being slapped in his prison cell for being a pedo only it’s the president and the slapper is saying “quiet piggy” is about the only thing at this can end with any satisfaction for those of us who understand who the potus is.

i hope the Nuzzi revelations produce more investigations into the many DC political reporters who have relations with officials and staff they cover

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

One measure of how sick and unsafe people are is how many are making excuses and splitting hairs over pedophilia and child trafficking. This is a good time to take note, folks

But even if they do leave I fail to see that as in any way, shape or form a negative thing.
The wealthy are the takers who make nothing but profits for themselves and hell for the rest of us, while trying to tell us it is the opposite with all the media they bought with their wealth.

Dude's brain might be pudding and he may be the dumbest, most incompetent, vile, misanthropic and greedy leader we've ever had.... but even he realizes it's very very bad for him to have his pedophelic tendencies revealed to the public.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Also, the directors cut of #TheWickerMan on #Kanopy had a bunch of stuff I'd never seen before that really expands the story

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?
Great thread that helps highlight what many of us have been thinking for a while: All our "elites" - in both parties, in the media, in business - are completely deranged and out of touch, spineless and cowardly. Trust at your own risk but I argue none of them should ever be taken seriously again
The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump.

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.
