Begging for their tolerance, begging to be allowed to exist within their system, begging for one more exception to be made to their rules, begging to be allowed to exist in one additional way, was our first, last, and only mistake.
So, I'm watching this all from a far, and I'm sitting here wondering who the fuck thinks political journalists had any 'public trust' before this point.
You guys are fucking fascist enablers who gave us Trump.
Yes, basically all of you.

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

There needs to be a term, like fridging, for describing things like what happens to Beverly Crusher in Star Trek Picard.
Where a woman just...vanishes and keeps a pregnancy and child secret for literally no reason, sometimes for decades, just to serve as part of the plot of the father learning it.

I hope the court slaps this down, because you cannot say that something is against the terms of service, and then _help a user do that thing_, and then claim that they violated the terms of service doing the thing.
That is pure nonsense.

It really is amazing how many Democratic politicians don't seem to understand what the word 'acceptable' means.
They are, in fact, accepting Trump doing these things, his behavior is thus entirely acceptable to the US Congress.

Threatening a U.S. Senator because you don’t like what he said is never acceptable—especially when all he said is that troops should follow the law.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

For the record, a 'whistleblower' is someone who works for or with someone that they then inform on to the authorities of wrongdoing by that person in that industry.
What industry, exactly, were Trump and Epstein in together that Trump then informed on?

Fun fact: there's a Donald Trump board game where there's a card you can draw that trumps all the others, and has Donald Trump on it.
That card is called: The Donald.
Apparently someone is too dumb to know what a trump card is.

Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

'Quietly urging' solves literally nothing.
Why? Because the thing that stops people from being able to pose as ICE agents without identifying themselves as people expect ICE agents to do that.
It literally doesn't matter if all ICE agents were to stop it today, if no one knew that.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Imagine how either stupid or deliberately manipulative you would have to be to phrase 'not running the story' as protecting Epstein instead of protecting Trump.
I've already said I think Landon should have been fired. But the idea that the NYT knew he was too chummy with Epstein and asked him for money and were fine with it is just wrong and dumb. And i cannot fathom what possible incentives people arguing this think the NYT would have to protect Epstein

I actually think this is a fair point and it’s hard to know precisely what you’d publish out of these emails. It’s just maddening in comparison to the NYT’s willingness to absolutely obsess over scurrilous rumors about Biden dementia, Clinton email non-scandals, etc.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

See, I agree with this, but I assume elected Dems were just kind of stupid bipartisan brain ed had dumb priorities, and their priorities were just getting people health insurance.
I didn't think that was the right priority, but it at least was a reasonable thing.
Yeah, they didn't even want that.

That being said, as I've said a few times, I am vehemently against the false premise of this shutdown.
ACA subsidies are not nearly a big enough ask given how extreme this crisis is. They need to be calling for Trump to be removed from office and thrown in prison.
That's the moderate position.

No one should vote for anyone who 'understands' why this happened.
The entire fucking caucuses is in on this, it's a deliberate con where they have the Democrats who are not vulnerable fold.
But listen to how the ones that voted 'no' talk.

I understand why some of my Democratic colleagues will support this bill. President Trump and Republicans seem determined to inflict harm on vulnerable Americans not just by making health care less affordable, but also by shutting down SNAP and firing federal employees.
