stimulus checks should be like the sixth highest priority for Dems in the next bill

*whispers*

99% chance they will fuck this up and put something dumb and unrelated in the bill for their donors.
The GOP will throw a hissy fit about 'spending' and Trump will veto.

Also I'm not sure what Kudlow is thinking but Democrats aren't going to give up the unemployment benefits for a capital gains tax holiday. 

[BisMarckie]

Over/under on the amount of stimulus per person would be a pretty good bet

Under 1.5

tucker carlson going on a "long planned vacation" after his head writer got exposed, el oh el

[Mandark]

Yeah, Matt Gertz pointed out they used that phrase for when Laura Ingraham attacked David Hogg, Hannity got too deep in the Seth Rich stuff, Tucker said white supremacy was a hoax, etc. Basically a paid suspension so they can lay low for a bit.

[Positive Touch]

it's kinda weird to me. that asshole gets on tv every night doing everything but screaming "white power!" but then when his writer gets exposed doing basically just that it's a problem? is it all just another respectability dance for the media jerkoffs?

[Mandark]

yeah, the dogwhistle slipped just an octave too low

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

Bari Weiss going out with style. Shame she's so batshit crazy most of the time

She's right though. Whenever someone writes an op-ed that doesn't match with thousands of unwritten rules they're immediately cast out.

That used to only happen to anti-war protesters, not upstanding neolibs. So sad.

Soon after the show's cancellation, an internal MSNBC memo was leaked to the press stating that Donahue should be fired because he opposed the imminent U.S. invasion of Iraq and that he would be a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war" and that his program could be “a home for the liberal anti-war agenda”.

[jakefromstatefarm]

you’ve gotta be the dumbest person alive if you think twitter are the oligarchs and the editing staff of the new york times are the people.

you’ve gotta be the dumbest person alive to conflate opinion writing with investigative journalism

Which is why the token woke-ism of media outlets that for decades cheered on wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria etc. is so infuriating.

People on the edges do not respect or value  free speech. Anyone that doesn't explicitly share their views is the enemy. They don't care about nuance, nuance is grey and confuses issues. If you're not helping you're in the way.

if you mean twitter as a platform of people sure, if you mean twitter as the ones running it. They are oligarchs.

No one at CNN/MSNBC etc. cared about the climate, diversity and the planet when Dick Cheney showed the world the Taliban mountain fortresses that didn't exist and would make his stonks go up.

According to the pool reporter who watched the event, Biden then cited the Chinese proverb, "Women hold up half the sky."

The phrase comes from a proclamation by Mao in the mid-20th century

[Joe Molotov]

Well never mind, then. Fuck women.

[Joe Molotov]

So he's cool with kneeling now?

Why are you guys (cauliflower and G) freaking out about Kanye and calling him Jill Stein when the poll posted takes 2% from trump and literally nothing from Biden?

Pundits who position themselves as moderate or reasonable typically have as narrow a range of what they consider acceptable as anyone else. They'll adopt the tone of nuance but they won't apply it across the board; if they truly oppose something the language tends to be more direct.

Sullivan called people opposed to the War on Terror "fifth columnists." Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens are notorious for emailing people's bosses when they don't like what someone's said.

So this press briefing is basically another campaign speech. Neat.

I don't know what this is, he's just rambling and seems high af or sedated or whatever.

Ginsberg needs to live. Biden needs to win. Senate needs to flip. All of these variables need to happen to save our country, and likely too, our world.

Holy shit, he's just rambling on about random shit. Someone needs to cut his mic.

I dunno, he either has his soft voice reading the teleprompter or animated with volume when doing rallies and making impromptu remarks.
This combination of rambling about 100 different topics in 20 minutes with a soft voice is not very common.

Trump seems really worried about Joe Biden's platform, which he is reviewing point for point right now for the amusement of the White House press pool.
