It makes them respect him more. They treated Biden with contempt because they knew he wouldn't kill them, they show deference to Trump because they think he might. Mentality of whipped dogs.
I wonder if the journalists in the WH Press Pool have realized yet that Trump wishes he could do to them what MBS did to Khashoggi when they ask him questions he doesn’t like.
Reporter to MBS: "U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist..."

Trump: "Fake news...He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning someone who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about…things happen."

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Call me old fashioned, but I remember when armed agents of the state barking, "where are your papers!?" was a thing that Americans associated with other, less free, less enlightened countries.

anyway; looking forward to WaPo issuing a statement retroactively firing Jamal Khashoggi for getting murdered in a way that inconvenienced President Trump.

Working on a hex map for the Warhammer narrative campaign I’ll be running next year. I’m pretty happy with it, though I’ll need to add some more special locations to Egypt and Italy.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Tens of thousands of young men will be radicalized because they like ketchup more than mustard and the YouTube algorithm, in its wisdom, has decided that means it’s time for them to be introduced to Julius Evola.

I hate how everything is tied to everything else. Your favorite Star Wars movie is now a package deal with your preferred borders of Eastern Europe and favored faction in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because fuck you, that’s why.

Compare to the journo solidarity shown when Obama suggested Fox News might be more than slightly biased against him.
…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

For decades, Greebles have been used as stimuli in psychology studies on facial recognition. Greebles come in five families (Samar, Galli, Osmit, Radok and Tasio) and two genders (plok and glip).
Though nobody is sure where they come from, science owes these odd creatures an enormous debt.

'trump should do regime change in venezuela' pieces are about a fantasy version of Trumpism where any war - let alone occupation - doesn't immediately turn into an exercise in incompetence and corruption.
Trump's stands on tariffs, nuclear weapons testing, health issues, and other things are ignorant and driven by possibly demented animus.

Why shouldn't his war on Venezuela be the same?

Message to Congress and his aides: You are complicit.
The Trump administration is rapidly escalating its pressure campaign against Venezuela, even as President Trump’s aides provide conflicting accounts of what, exactly, they are seeking to achieve. nyti.ms/49nV4PY

Reading against the grain, a teenager with no support network from a foreign country, who allegedly committed a crime because of a stigmatized mental problem.....is the perfect patsy
the thing about the prisonculture story is that she gives herself the simplest possible problem -- "a despised outsider in a society with no deviance immediately confesses to a murder and raises no justification" -- then whiffs the response by torturing the perpetrator and saves them by fiat.

People don’t vote their interests, they vote their values. Rural white people vote to give the rich tax breaks for the same reason liberal immigrant doctors vote to get themselves taxed more.
Why do poor, rural people vote for the ultra-wealthy's best interests over their own?

Just think about this for a second

These people aren’t carrying jewels bc they’re wealthy; they’re putting their life savings into jewels bc they’re a portable store of value they can bring with them
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

again I point you to 'predator trophy hunter theory.' the Yautja are mostly just Guys and the predators we see are the equivalent of guys who pay tens of thousands of dollars to go kill some poor animal in Africa.
Nobody has ever done anything interesting or unexpected with the culture of the Predators onscreen, that they probably aren't ever going to, and I think I've just made my peace with it

Part of the reason this story is included is to reinforce a command the writers would have known well: "Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."
Since we are about to enter the Christmas season, here's a picture of Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt to avoid persecution. Immigrants.
