I'm always a big fan of elected officials explaining that they don't understand how the law works.

Replies on that tweet are full of lunatics including people demanding imprisonment without trial and even execution of former Twitter executives for treason. :lol

They're so advanced they scoffed that the ship would need shields against mere propelled projectiles, surely the Earth Species used advanced energy weapons like they do.

turns out that due to unforeseen biological differences they grossly miscalculated the amount of energy required to damage humans, so their "energy weapons" feel to us like a comforting blast from a hair dryer set to medium

The Vl'Hurgs waged war on the G'Gugvuntts for a long time, until they realised that it had all been a terrible mistake, and the two armies joined forces to attack Earth. Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire fleet was eaten by a small dog.

There's probably some weird thing that Trump noticed when she moved on him on Air Force One and he had to tell her to keep it professional.

Actually got around to read this for reasons I forget, I can see why all the usual suspects were raging about it a couple weeks ago. Fuckers didn't even try to defend their bullshit. :lol
https://www.cjr.org/special_report/trumped-up-press-versus-president-ed-note.php
Quote
Court filings in 2019 showed that the total value of the IRA’s Facebook ads that were deemed election-related amounted to $2,930, in a political cycle where billions of dollars were spent. The only reporter to write about that finding was Sperry, of Real Clear Investigations.
Quote
One frequent and vague catchphrase—“people (or person) familiar with”—is widely used by many journalists: the Times used it over a thousand times in stories involving Trump and Russia between October 2016 and the end of his presidency, according to a Nexis search. The last executive editor I worked for, Bill Keller, frowned on its use. He told the staff repeatedly the phrase was “so vague it could even mean the reporter.” The Times, in a statement to CJR, said, “We have strong rules in place governing the use of anonymous sources.” Other outlets mentioned in this piece declined to discuss their anonymous-sourcing practices.

Another anonymous-sourcing convention that was turbocharged in the Trump era was the use of more neutral descriptors like “government official” or “intelligence official” or “American official” to mask congressional leakers. A few reporters admitted that to me, but, of course, only anonymously. Here’s how it works. First, a federal agency like the CIA or FBI secretly briefs Congress. Then Democrats or Republicans selectively leak snippets. Finally, the story comes out, using vague attribution. “It was a problem for us,” Mike Kortan, the former FBI spokesman until 2018, told me. Kortan, who also worked in Congress, added: “We would brief Congress, try and give them a full picture with the negative stuff, and then a member of Congress can cherry-pick the information and the reporter doesn’t know they’ve been cherry-picked.” The typical reader or viewer is clueless.

My final concern, and frustration, was the lack of transparency by media organizations in responding to my questions. I reached out to more than sixty journalists; only about half responded. Of those who did, more than a dozen agreed to be interviewed on the record. However, not a single major news organization made available a newsroom leader to talk about their coverage.
I do have a complaint though, it's proper style guidelines to refer to perjurers James Clapper and James Brennan with their perjurer title. The latter should probably be perjurer and delusional conspiracy theorist but I understand that the latter is not a formally recognized title yet.

It’s possible that he’s dumb enough that he thinks he could get this through. It’s more likely, though that he simply sees this as a dog whistle to get rambunctious ultra right wing followers to mobilize on his behalf.

America loves a comeback story and this is like the biggest comeback story ever.
I guess only rivaled by the second rise to power of Napoleon.

He's going to do ballot harvesting and early mail-in voting too beating the Democrats at their own game. It's going to be absolute chaos.

I, for one, have NEVER said anything bad about our new Chinese overlords and, if I did, I blame Nintex for making me say those mean and nasty things. Personally, I love communism and think the surveillance state is necessary to weed out the less desirable members of society and promote social harmony.

Interesting article, doesn't mention that Trump also dropped. The DeSantis drop is visible in the bump for other anti-Trumps in Haley and Pompeo, but Trump's loss then goes into undecided. I also like the framing being completely around DeSantis when Trump is aggregate polling at the worst he has against the field ever even though there's still only one other announced candidate. The only "benefit" at all is that he's doing slightly better specifically compared to unannounced candidate DeSantis. Trump hasn't commanded a majority of the primary poll since November despite being the only candidate until four days ago. Sad! He should probably save some of his low energy and drop out already.

A far right extremist beat a Trump backed candidate. Surreal because the Trump pick isn't the far right candidate in this case.

This is bad for Michigan GOP. In a purple state like MI she will lose and the state will get a little more blue. Deservedly too.
