Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is already one of the best things to come out of the Thrones universe in years. This week’s episode is up there with some of the series all-timers.
Hold on.
You think the guy who repeatedly said that our first black president was not born here, the guy who took out a full page ad in a newspaper calling for the execution of the now exonerated Central Park five, the guy who used the words, “black job”, the guy who has called African nations “shit holes” and threatened to deport American citizen women of color, couldn’t possibly have intentionally posted a video portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys?
Are you a fucking idiot?
Respectfully Darren, you’ve lost the plot. Journalism was never supposed to be a for-profit business, but a public good. And when it shifted to a purely capitalistic model, it compromised the very integrity it was built on.
Surely you’re not naive enough to understand why many see Jeff Bezos gutting the Post as politically motivated — especially in light of his relationship to this administration. He’s deeply compromised.
Beyond that, there’s no question that journalism has to adapt to the times — but that adaptation doesn’t have to come at the expense of thoughtful coverage. You meet the audience where they are, but you also give them what they don’t know they need.
They need storytelling, depth, context and insight. The audience still responds to those things and that will always be in demand.
You are defending the open killing of everyday Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights.
First, the mother of a 6 year old child. Now, an ICU nurse to veterans. Both shot at nearly point blank range.
All without reflection or remorse. People will not forget this.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Do you hear yourself??
Your federal agents shot a man ten times and you’re complaining about their fucking lunch being interrupted??
What the fuck is wrong with you??
Republicans clearly know how to speak to low information voters. They do so through lies about what to expect and easy to digest messaging that results in these same voters voting against their own self interests. I can say with certainty that those who voted for Trump will not be better off as a result.
Last thought before attempting to go to bed: if Americans are willing to reelect Trump after everything he’s said in the past three months, there’s nothing Harris could’ve done.
