Imagine being that much of a cocksucker like Jesse Watters is for this administration and not even being gay to enjoy it. At least as a bisexual man I enjoy it. I don't like big balls though, average sized is fine for me. The water carrying and **** licking going on at Fox News is and always will be pathetic. The lack of real journalism this sycophants display at Fox is truly incredible.

Well, y'know, these Trump people did tell us the RWM was going to be embedded firmly up the administration's ass as active operatives by accusing the entire MSM being operatives for Biden.

Listening to the Tiger Territory podcase and I can't tell if this is only there because I'm in the DC Metro area or not...but they have a commercial against lawsuit abuse which seems to try to claim that "under Biden everything got so expensive because of lawsuit abuse" 

What the actual bleep? 

How is that even remotely a thing?  

No, under Biden we had free trade and the cost of things was driven by the understanding that we live in a nation which has a foundation of the rule of law.   

Now we live in the crazy times when Master Blaster in the White House demands you kiss his ring or he'll shut out the lights.

It is definitely some combination of behavioral, geographic, and cookie-based targeting. I get Spanish-language Home Depot ads when I listen to FT pods.

I was in Mich last week and got a bunch of Detroit-based commercials downloaded on my pods.  This is a weird advocacy group trying to leverage Detroit baseball fans (or maybe all baseball fans) in the DC Metro to rally against the evils of lawsuit abuse which they blame for the rising cost of everything.  If DC Metro fans are not suffering from oxygen deprivation they know that was not the reason for anything that was happening with the economy before the current economic chaos caused by Trump.

Trump just accepted a $400 million dollar bribe from Qatar, Republicans are attempting to make the largest cut ever to Medicaid, and the news media is reporting on a book the host wrote about the former president that is full of gossip from anonymous ex-staffers and no actual fact checking and nothing that shows Biden was not effectively doing the job.

The only time I remember to go on to bluesky is to interact with someone  who isn't on twitter anymore 🙂

Nothing against it but I have yet to make it a routine.  After 2 minutes of scrolling i'm like 8 hours backwards so I figure I've seen it all.

What I dislike about Bluesky is the search function is so limited to exact terms. Consequently when I do a search about any news story it comes up empty and I have to go to X instead to find it.

This is going to get lost in a lot of the chaos that the administration is inflicting on the nation right now, but Terry Moran told the truth and was punished for it.

I'm getting fearful about the upcoming weekend's events in DC...

Quote

As federal agents prepared to fan out in Los Angeles for a controversial immigration crackdown, the officers were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw.

The television personality and his camera crew were embedded with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when some of the raids took place on Friday. The footage is being incorporated into a special report on "Dr. Phil Primetime," a program on McGraw's conservative TV channel Merit TV. The special hasn't been promoted yet, but a spokesperson confirmed the plans to me.

McGraw's presence on the ground in L.A. reinforces the made-for-TV nature of Trump's immigration crackdown. You might remember that the former daytime talk show host was also embedded with ICE officials in Chicago back in January, when some federal agents were told to be camera-ready for a show of force at the very start of President Trump's second term. 

McGraw was on hand Friday "to get a first-hand look at the targeted operations," according to his channel. He also interviewed Trump border czar Tom Homan.

It's going to become another "made for TV" event...

I agree.  This is his (Trump’s) strength. He absolutely knows how to create a TV sensational viewing program.  
This is his venue.

TBH I'm also wondering if would be best to use the day to bring away attention away from Drumpf's totalitarian display by not mentioning him. Perhaps we could have a bunch of events featuring a bunch of flags from as many different places as possible? Make it into something that's not about he who shall be nameless for the day.

I love the idea. A bit late in the game to organize. Say somewhere out of Washington, maybe a concert of patriotic music or flooding the internet with re-enacted speeches from Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Adams etc...completely ignoring TACO for the day.
