journalists should not be people who have spent their whole lives trying different ways to become famous and would have also accepted “enter the actual hunger games” as an option if it made enough people know their name

Maybe don’t mention the scandal where, if the president had been tried and jailed appropriately, we wouldn’t have the corruption we see daily in the White House.

Do your job. Remove the administration and put them all on trial.
LINDSEY GRAHAM: This was worse than Watergate. An effort to destroy President Trump and come after people like me. I'm gonna sue the hell out of these people

HANNITY: How much?

GRAHAM: Tens of millions of dollars. I went to Fani Willis in Atlanta, spent $1.2 million with that bullshit

apropos of nothing in particular, Saudi Arabia has a population of 35 million but only 19 million are citizens, in part because only Muslims can be citizens of Saudi Arabia, so the ~2 million Christians in the country are “foreign workers” forever, even if born there

“Keep your voice down.”

“That’s enough of you.”

“Be nice; don’t be threatening.”

“There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

“Quiet, piggy.”

This is a sampling of what the president of the United States has said to and about female journalists.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

Maya in 1933: "I met the publisher responsible for Der Stürmer and its publication of Jewish crimes.

They told me how they they didn't want Jewish crimes recorded as German crime so they set up the publication to ensure accuracy to the Volksgemeinschaft."

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Don't automatically discount it when left Jews tell you that you've done a dogwhistle, even if you didn't intend it.

These are trencherous waters.

Oppose genocide, *and.*

Do not do the Nazis' work for them.

WATCH: “When you don’t stand up to it you inherently make it ok.”

Kanew calls out reporters who stood by as Trump said “QUIET PIGGY” to Catherine Lucey, and says by not standing up to his misogynistic, authoritarian bullying they let him bully journalism into irrelevancy.

1. Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein *after* Epstein’s arrest.

2. Their falling out was over real estate, not pedophilia.

3. Nancy Mace is not a well woman.
Nancy Mace: "It was Donald Trump who banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He may have been a whistleblower. And if he did, thank God for Donald Trump. I don't know that there's anything this man cannot do in this country."

A key takeaway from all this has to be "You don't have to listen to Republicans anymore." They're either perpetrators of fascism or suckers who fell for it. If you have conservative views we can consider them again in 50 years or so

Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them.

They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.
Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths
As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

Are we putting tariffs on livestock too?

I thought it’s because we’re importing beef from South America because American ranchers can’t supply to the scale of need.
I knew they blamed immigrants for everything, but I didn’t think they would blame immigrant cows for hamburger prices.

Reupping.

Lots of people laughing that Trump has confessed his tariffs drove up prices.

Too many aren't mentioning that he'll have to pay the tariffs back, meaning there'll be no $$ for rebates.

Trump has only bankrupted consumers and created a big hole in his budget.

Why is this happening?

Big tech co's AI revenue *is* growing rapidly. It's a game of chicken where none can afford to blink, because they don't want to get left behind.

But is that revenue enough to support projections this rosy? Analysts say, not likely.
