a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.
I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.
Collins here underscoring the case for Platner, she can't give a simple "no way" to an obviously unsuitable Trump nominee — a guy who has zero qualification for the job other than his demonstrated willingness at FHFA to engage in abuses of power.
Donald Trump literally has a whites-only refugee policy. If you're fleeing Syria, Venezuela, or Sudan, you're not considered a real refugee. If you own a McMansion in South Africa, you're a refugee.
Yes Jon Ossoff is correct. The Trumpy GOP is white nationalist.
More seriously, if you're Talarico you ignore the attacks and keep it focused on Paxton being a crook. Make the case in as many venues as you can. I'd even go on Fox. Because Ken is never going to debate, and never going to an outlet outside the right wing media world.
Yeah that statement from the article boggled my mind considering the post college grad unemployment rate. And that's not even looking into the amount of people with degrees/specialized skills that are working min wage jobs because they're not able to find jobs in their fields.
Obama expressed empathy for Trayvon Martin and @benshapiro had a decade long tantrum. Imagine if instead he had stolen $1.8 bil from taxpayers and had BLM dole it out to whoever they wanted. Because that's what Trump is doing but for insurrectionist whites instead.
David is totally correct about this.
The GOP is openly trying to design the US government so that it has a permanent conservative tilt.
Democrats can't passively accept this unless they're willing to just give up on liberalism.
And if they are I have no use for the party.
@BrettErickson28@DeanBaker13 Especially suspect given they found the guy who bet on the Maduro capture in what, a few weeks? They know and they don’t care because it’s them.
And now we know why Trump fully pardoned Hernández after he'd been convicted of smuggling hundreds of tons of drugs into the US.
They're trying to Orban the entire hemisphere.
Once you've literally stolen an election in plain sight via an unsigned opinion you go out of your way to say has no precedential value and then *three* of the people who worked on that case now sit on the Court, stripping voting rights isn't a very heavy lift
The Republican Party *just* packed the Supreme Court of Utah after it enforced the state's gerrymandering ban.
Never let Republicans lecture you about extremism.
The Court is empowering itself to procedurely tap the breaks or gas on each new map, and shepherd maps toward their preferred outcome on a gas by case basis.
We’re approaching 200 people killed without any investigation, trial, or sentence. And the deaths keep climbing, despite no independent indication whatsoever that the killings are having a significant impact on drug trafficking.
