It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

This is why we rely on immune thresholds — yet again it’s community care. We all get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves but to protect the vulnerable around us.

But of course COVID taught us that community health is not a priority in this country.

Regulations are not the enemy of innovation. In many cases they encourage it.

Regulations are the enemy of reckless greed.

Unregulated AI will have a catastrophic effect on the working class.
Trump has signed an Executive Order attempting to ban states and localities from regulating AI.

It comes after Big Tech announced a $100 million lobbying blitz.

Always follow the money. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=LHG-GWoIO87c1Tyi

Bondi Beach suggestion:

Now the 168-hour rule.
There's a rule of thumb I've used known as the 48-hour rule that says you should never trust the information that comes out in the first 48 hours of a breaking news event, because there's so much uncertainty. The problem is that bad actors have figured out how to weaponize that space of uncertainty

There are folks on here, right now, debating whether an unarmed man who risked his life to disarm a shooter at Bondi Beach, handled things correctly.

If you ever catch yourself debating if someone risking their life to stop a terrorist attack is doing it right? Simply perish. You've added nothing.

To be clear, every time CNN propagandist Scott Jennings gets angry at others in defense of the orange felon’s obvious close disgusting friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, he’s basically admitting he’s a child rapist apologist. What an immoral asshat.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

Several Federal Court Rulings Have Already Clarified That Any ICE Agent Attempting To Detain Anyone Is REQUIRED TO HAVE A BENCH WARRANT FROM THE LOCAL FEDERAL JUDGE, And Without Said Warrant, Their Actions Can't Be Charged As KIDNAPPING... Local Law Enforcement Better Start Doing Their Jobs.

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

To be clear, the orange felon can’t pardon MAGA lunatic Tina Peters, she was found guilty on state charges in Colorado for interfering in the 2020 election on his behalf. She’ll stay behind bars and he’ll suffer another embarrassment. Fuck fascism.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

The '95 Renault Espace F1 🏁

The original Renault Espace rolled out in 1984 as Europe’s first true minivan.
Fast-forward a decade, and Renault decided to celebrate its 10-year anniversary by, well, dropping a Formula 1 engine in the middle of it. Because why not?

In a hearing with dog murderer Kristi Noem regarding her inhumane immoral abuse of power, she was asked about the US veterans she has deported and after lying about not deporting veterans, a House member had a veteran she deported on standby on zoom, bam.

She belongs in jail.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

The release of the Epstein files is required by law to happen on December 19th.
On December 18th, we will "officially" be at war with Venezuela.

GPT CONTEXT: The Fed just Trump-proofed itself. By reappointing every regional Fed president months early, they closed the only window a president has to reshape the system. These leaders now serve through 2031 — locking out political interference in monetary policy. #econsky #federalreserve
