Perfect. 60 Minutes edited out an important part of its Trump interview in which he boasts about extracting millions from its parent company on an utterly meritless claim . . . that 60 Minutes selectively edited its Kamala Harris interview.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

I know, but that also seems very very dumb. Trump will throw you right under the bus and into a noose at the first sign of the wind blowing a different way

Throwing away your whole career and credibility for that fuck.

What a soulless shit to be a shill for, ya know?

More people really need to understand/reckon with the fact that everyone working for and loyal to this administration is a mask off fascist, firmly believes any opposition to them is a "threat," and that it's their right and duty to suppress that opposition.

Thinking about this for some reason today.

“Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney next to each other at John
McCain’s funeral...seems so much how Washington used to be, and is no longer. When America hears these stirring patriotic songs today, do they even hear the same words?”

That weekend I saw a tweet that got 100,000 retweets in the
first twenty-four hours it was posted. It was a video taken from John
McCain’s funeral at the National Cathedral in which Michelle Obama
can be seen taking a piece of candy from George W. Bush.
Another tweet that weekend from the New Yorker’s Susan Glaser
captured the sepia-tinted nostalgia theme that abounded across social
media: “Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney next to each other at John
McCain’s funeral . . . seems so much how Washington used to be, and
is no longer. When America hears these stirring patriotic songs today,
do they even hear the same words?”
As Glasser would later write in a piece in which she inducted
Bush into the #resistance – a sentiment hundreds of Beltway lanyard-
fuckers echoed on Twitter and elsewhere – McCain’s funeral was not
just…

This is why if you learn nothing else for evidence literacy, learn to look up survey items and read them for yourself and think about how someone might interpret them.

Poll: Americans say “too divided”
Pundit: Dems are being too divisive

Poll: Legal system unfair
Pundit: The public thinks Trump should get away with crimes

Poll: Low trust in media
Pundits: MSM is too far left

Every time they see a nonspecific term and assume everyone thinks like a Republican.

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2d

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."

Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang

David Wearing @davidwearing.bsky.social · 8h

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.bsky.social · 1d

"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky
