True story: A journalist friend of mine won an informal bar contest decades ago for best made up tabloid headline: Dwarf Rapes Nun, Flees in UFO. He ended up publishing a novel that explained the premise. Good and funny, too.

Two examples of important stories just today, at or near the top of the Post site. (FYI, I have huge problems with the Post on multiple fronts & use a lot of sources. But they still have a deeply talented & knowledgeable reporting & editing staff.

Well, you clearly have that wrong. Duffy is making the nation’s roads safe for all of us by cracking down on the dangerous driving distraction of chalk rainbow crosswalks. He and Trump have their priorities. 😐

I’m not s Collins fan, to say the least, but … she voted against the overall bill, along with Tillis & Rand Paul. This was posted last night and appears to refer to preliminary votes.

What DOJ did the first time around, telling DHS it was legal to proceed when they knew it wasn’t worked then. Sort of. Do they have a blueprint to follow. Utterly horrendous.

I mean, you wrote this the day of the election w/ no indication whatsoever that these expectations were unrealistic.

@janecoaston.bsky.social I’m sure you posted this in good faith but the people who wrote this story did not. It is terribly misleading. It sounds like this is about the current wave of deportations but the links to the GAO report the story is based on is dated July 20, 2021. Nearly four years ago.

This sounds alarming but actually is nearly meaningless. This has nothing to do w/ current enforcement. The story is intentionally misleading readers by not mentioning that the GAO issued this report in 2021. We have no idea if any of the issues raised were fixed. You can’t trust reporting like this

Boy that is eerily (eerily being an understatement) familiar. Scary close to the key quote in the best movie ever made about brainwashing. (The Manchurian Candidate for the youngsters out there.)

Musk, Vance & others revited this silliness based on a misreading (purposeful or not) of a stat in a report. No report EVER said 40% of calls were fraudulent. It said 40% of fraudulent efforts to steal benefits thru direct deposit were made by phone. Idiocy & evil are a lethal combination.

Quite honestly, if you’re a fascist with fascist goals that’s how it’s done. People died in the Beer Hall Putsch and Hitler & others were jailed. Mein Kampf, written in jail, was dedicated to the “martyrs”. In power they created a hallowed, guarded memorial at the site & printed memorial stamps.
