Fine and necessary reporting, thank you.

We should label things precisely when possible. This is torture.

That's a good thing, right? If DO"J" had a legit case against a real criminal, wouldn't they just have a real lawyer sign it?

Counterpoint: association with pugilism is exactly what the Dem brand needs.

These are crimes, meaning Trump's top law enforcement nominees are criminals. Yet @nytimes.com and other top media deliberately obfuscate the truth. Call it out in every publication.

Here's your proof that @cbsnews.com payoff to Trump was pure corruption. Absolutely nothing from CBS can be trusted.

Sadly, @60minutes.bsky.social proved it's doubly true of that once-proud show. Ironically, @cnn.com collected the receipts: www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/p...

Not as bad as the financial disaster Trump will pass to his successor, but equally despicable.
