the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...

Someone whose comment he will see should tell @maddenifico.bsky.social that this is a fake Trump post, so he deletes his post with the screenshot.

Removing this deranged lunatic from office is no longer debatable. It is the absolute duty of every patriotic, democracy-loving American to ensure that Congress makes this priority number one: expel this treasonous piece of shit before he inflicts any further damage to our country.

one of their senate candidates is running an ad suggesting that a woman lied about being molested as a child, in this dude's state even, another senate candidate let a child molester who he's friends with out of jail after a couple days and didn't make him sign the sex offender registry,

It's okay to call a drag queen existing a pedophile. It's not okay to point out the president was friends with a notorious pedophile, the vice president is a flunky of one of that pedophile's close friends, their top donor, the wealthiest man in the world wanted to be friends with that pedophile,

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

If Kennedy’s larger point is that some political cultures are associated with an unfriendly attitude to knowledge that might be slightly more persuasive if he was not a MAGA anti-vax ideologue who is undermining the largest US research center (NIH) as part of a broader assault on higher education

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Even setting aside the two accusers whose stories are shakier, we have three strong and credible direct accusations. Then we have three more young women who have evidence of Trump participating in Epstein's trafficking ring.

Replying to @amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."
