@Timodc "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

"When you're President they let you do it. You can do anything."

-- Donald J. Trump

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things.

Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do.

She fired him.

JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job.

The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting.

The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.

@MichaelPBento Soooo... buy the dip? 🤣

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@GingkoPT I always appreciate how well you sugarcoat your posts! 🤣

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@BenKizemchuk @BrendanMulhern Garbage stocks rally is last, then first to crap out.

Not to mention...
#BTC 🤣

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@Bogachan_1971 Although it's too late as the damage is done, Trump is the most toxic. The others are like a slow cancer, but still possible to cure (though not easy by any means!)

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@MichaelPBento Not one cabinet member in this administration who isn't a shameless liar.
Makes sense though based on who is President.
Willingness to lie was a prerequisite to appointment.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@JohnDoss1 Any other time in market history gating these funds would cause a sharp reaction in the market. These days it's just a shoulder shrug. 🤷‍♂️
The reaction will eventually happen... only it will be exactly when everyone is convinced that it doesn't matter. Sounds familar! #GFC

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@JTheretohelp1 Thanks for the invitation. I am currently traveling, but will look into it later next week after I return home.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@JohnDoss1 There lots of fools. Approximately 70 million who voted for the Criminal-in-Chief.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@JTheretohelp1 There's not one Christian thing about Trump. There are no examples of Trump ever following the teachings or beliefs of Christ. Any Christians who believe otherwise are no better than Trump himself.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

The stupidest thing about this market is that we all can see what's happening and clearly the majority of investors think they can get out in time, or they are simply too greedy to care. Everyone knows it's a bubble. Everyone sees the parallels to the dotcom & other crashes yet refuse to take defensive action.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@BenKizemchuk This is the stupidest market I've ever seen. It's right up there with the dotcom disaster, but worse, because we all should have learned this lesson -- even if we weren't born yet, or just children in 2000.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@Bogachan_1971 No President has ever lied to the American people as often and as egregiously as Donald Trump.
What a pathetic excuse for a leader.
MAGA supporters are truly the lowest form of citizenry.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@vtchakarova Trump is also a liar of the first order.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@JenniferEValent Maybe Tuberville should be asked to give a few examples of how Donald Trump embodies the teachings & beliefs of Christ? That would make for an interesting interview!

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@Based_Otto @luke_tagle @SarahLongwell25 Collins is a patsy for Republicans' cruelty, corruption, and incompetence. So, no. You cannot support the GOP until Trump & his cronies are gone.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@SarahLongwell25 Exactly 🎯
These holier than thou former GOPers can't stand that they have been hoisted on their own petard by a moral void like Trump.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@MikeLevin @dkamac1 Scalia was a hard right conservative with many odious views, but an honorable man. Alito is just scum and a political ideologue.

[Jeff Diamond @JeffDiamond3]

@ericnuttall Unvarnished honesty. Someone arrest that man!
