He promised to run the country like he ran his business. It ended with Rudy Giuliani outside Four Season Total Landscaping next to a dildo shop, after a staffer mistakenly thought the empty parking lot was a Four Seasons hotel.
This is remarkable: @Alexbrowder_ has just been added to Russia’s sanctions list for his work exposing Russian sanctions evasion through their own cryptocurrency. In case anyone doesn’t know Alexander is in high school.
Yes - this is our constitutional crisis in a nutshell. Mullin says he will pick and choose which court orders to follow based on whether he likes them or not.
That's a reciple for the total destruction of our democracy. That's totalitarianism.
BRUTAL indictment of @bariweiss by Scott Pelley:
"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified." Then it gets worse...
The US has been failing this Churchill/Chamberlain moment for years. And on Ukraine, Trump's second term makes Chamberlain look like Churchill in comparison. At least Chamberlain didn't know what was coming in 1938. Siding with genocidal Russia after so many years is far worse.
More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT
Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
I swear to God we are living in Idiocracy. Everyday I think 'This can't be real.' But it is.
You couldn't write a satirical movie like the insane shitshow we are being forced to live through in real life.
When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!
On the one hand, they - Kelly, Carlson, etc - definitely should blame themselves but on the other hand, I’m glad they’re saying this stuff out loud and finally being somewhat self-critical.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
Russia’s only response to losing on the battlefield and watching its economy collapse is to threaten Europe with destruction and murder more Ukrainian civilians with missile & drone attacks. Why do the most powerful economies and militaries in the world tolerate this terror?
