Pathetically credulous and dramatic re-reading of regime nonsense. WOW. And this is 'fakenewsABC', not Weiss-steered CBS. Is this penance for Stephanopoulos' admirable dismissal of shady vance? It won't even work dummies. Pick yourselves up off the floor, ffs, it's unseemly. And get on BSKY!

I don't think I've seen a network TV news report more transparently full of shit since maybe 2003, right before we invaded Iraq

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

WHUT? So MAGA Mike Johnson doesn't think that beating women and stealing valor are serious? Good to know.

And how on Earth could he not know about these allegations of one of his caucus members?

Generally speaking, a coherent political ideology is a luxury good. Most people don't have time for it. The rise of this type of rhetoric is a testament to the power of a small fringe of extremely bad people being extremely organized. They took over the Republican party from the inside.

Keep at it! Republican leaders have doubled down. Just tie it around their necks.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 10h

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

Well put:

"thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do"

is a crucial thing.

You could almost say, "There are two kinds of people...."

The kind who haven't, and who won't even when it'l is suggested, terrify me, actually.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...
