That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
The squirrels are awake early this morning! I wa, too, more’s the pity. Oh, well.
Happy Weekend Eve everybody!
Buzzfeed? “Our job here is done.”
“Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid said. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
See also: History is written by the culture war infiltrators.
That’s weird – I don’t recall recent history ever being presented in “social studies” class or the AP history class I took.
A different era, I guess.
I always wondered about that too, and someone recently told me that it is cut off at a certain point, Vietnam for my high school, as that is Current Events, and should be taught in Social Studies.
Which it wasn’t.
What disturbs me most about that – this isn’t history, it’s current events.
The indoctrinators *cough cough* sorry, instructors have to ensure they’re thinking Right Think before they send them up to college, after all.
I didn’t think Trump had much support in the younger demographic anyway.
I’m more concerned about the “Russian meddling” in 2016 being pitched without any of the facts that it was garbage and spun by the IC than Trump per se.
Holy shit, they’re teaching that as history and not creative writing?
Because of that, Trump will have a strong case to sue. Depends on how far over the line the content goes. At this point I think I would school my child with textbooks made prior to 1980.
LOL. You still have faith in our courts?
So true.
Goddammit, that’s a bullshit article. He’s only talking about the textbooks written since 2017, which admittedly is bad, but is less than half the list of suitable textbooks.
Pretty soon it will be in all suitable textbooks, because The History knows that The Bad Orange man was, in fact, bad.
Morning Banjos,
Mike Lindell will have to step up his advertising, need to pay off the 5 mil.
He could save a lot of money by paying with pennies and nickles. Some places are just rounding off the penny part, maybe the nickle part too
“FEELIN’ GOOD!”
He’s gonna need to get crackin’!
Got a refund on a $3.99 item the other day, they just rounded it to $4.
I was all set up for a hellacious first and you foil it by posting the links early? Ah well, firsting is lame anyway.
… and some Firsting is lamer than others.
….and some aspires to lame but barely rises to loser.
Kennedy Jr: I just hope his campaign’s success doesn’t go to his head…maybe steer clear of convertibles for a bit. I actually like the guy somewhat though and compared to the rest of the Democrats he’s a breath of fresh air.
Internal Server Error
Kennedy is a cyborg?
Nope, my response on Kennedy generated one.
Which is odd.
Lets try again….
So do the dems dare have a debate?
Probably not, Biden could lose a debate to a cinderblock if they don’t get his meds quite right. I’m expecting the old “Let’s not legitimize his vaccine conspiracies by providing a platform” excuse…and it’ll work, for most Dems anyway.
CNN, MSNBC, etc. are already on the case.
Biden is going to have a challenger just like Stacy Abrams had one in the Georgia elections.
Selected, not elected.
I’d sooner vote for a blind squirrel.
Same.
He had a few good talking points, but he’s just another leftist in the end.
I absolutely want him to debate any of the approved DNC candidates.
Out of sincere curiosity, who would you vote for?
No one who wants to be President.
Thanks, I was curious if you had any choices in mind.
I am slowly learning the necessity of not caring about what moron is in the White House.
It’s lazy thinking to think that there will be meaningful change because a new person is sitting in the Big Chair.
No (political) Messiah is coming to save us.
I do think he has a shot, yeah.
Or, rather, the Dem’s will have a shot at him.
I hope the song choice isn’t a comment on your girls and a planned family outing. 😉 Morning, Banjos!
And the sheer (meat)balls on Ikea thinking they could take more of the US market. More likely their attempts will be bork-bork-borked.
I would totally have installed their glass-doored bookcases if shipping them to me wasn’t $400.
There is one right next to me. I agree, no way I would ship their stuff. Price is too high. I only have some Ikea because it’s next door. It saved me from buying any of their rock-hard sofas, for one.
Can you confirm they’re claim about their first US store opening in 2019?
That sounds totally wrong. When I visited NYC in the mid 2000’s I remember seeing a giant building with their branding on it. Was it just a warehouse?
I feel like the one in Brooklyn has been there at least a decade.
It’s the Daily Fail – you know the play a little loose with “facts”.
The Brooklyn store opened in 2006. They used to run a ferry straight to it from Manhattan. It was free if you could produce a receipt.
To much fanfare (and fucked-up traffic), IKEA opened a store in Cincinnati in 2008.
I think I can! I bought my Challenger in 2014, and by 2018 I had to move to an SUV. I distinctly remember loading Ikea products in that Challenger.
I verified by looking at Frisco, Texas historical events. Ikea grand opening was 2005.
Frisco also has a Bojangles! (From yesterday’s links)
I loaded a mattress into a Civic once. No coils, obviously.
IKEA has had stores in the US for at least a decade, probably two.
Three, for sure.
The Carson (CA) one is right by where the Goodyear blimp is stationed.
https://www.furninfo.com/furniture-industry-news-archive/3207
I’ve shopped at that one.
I remember the Virginia one in the big mall down I-95 south of DC in the early 90s.
Virginia’s Potomac Mills IKEA turns 35
I know I got lost in one in Houston before moving to the Round Rock area in 2007. And Round Rock had one at that time already, although I think the Round Rock one was new. I guess my Daily Fail standards, they’re going by the Texas tourism theme of ‘Texas – it’s like a whole ‘nother country’
Maybe they mean a different type of store?
IKEA had a store in West Covina in the early 2000s, maybe even late 90s.
Was going to say the same. When I saw their shipping prices a few years ago I noped right the hell out of that website.
All their big stuff weighs at least 30 pounds per item and comes in awkward long packs. Shelves are in tight packs like 50 pound surfboards. It has to be hell on shippers.
Checking recently (there’s an Ikea down in Columbus, but that’s a haul), they’ve adjusted their shipping prices to a more reasonable level.
*tap tap tap*
Yeah, it does look more reasonable now.
We have five of them. Dragged around to more than a few houses at this point, but they are nice if you attach them to the wall. The doors are heavier than the shelves and until and unless they are filled with books, they will topple.
Huh……
It’s kinda odd, I am not seeing any massive drive to update on Vid Vaccinations lately.
Funny that.
I still get the annoying as hell California ‘Vid ads on Youtube from time to time (AppleTV watching Drach / falling asleep, so no, I don’t care enough to figure out an ad blocker before y’all dogpile on me). Probably just means Gavin doesn’t want to turn off the graft spigot to some cronies more than they really believe it matters, granted.
I get plenty of “If it’s COVID – Paxlovid.”
The propaganda is still in heavy rotation here.
Last night was the first time I didn’t see any on TUBI. So nice. I’ll take car commercials over that any day.
I tune out all pharma ads.
I saw an idiot at the Men’s wear store yesterday wearing a mask.
It seems the under thirty set put them on if they have a break out or something like that.
Or if they’re shoplifting.
“EcoHealth Alliance created “mutant” coronaviruses in Wuhan using US grant money”
It’s it just me or is this the third for fourth time that has been confirmed in some way or another? Fuck the government, and fuck China.
But the usual suspect that told you to even suspect this might be the more realistic scenario made you a racist because you wouldn’t accept their absolutely racist take that this thing came from the fact Chinese people like to buy all sorts of filthy animals at a wet market to eat, still pretend otherwise…
Does ScrewTube still give you strikes and ban you for saying they spend close to 2 years helping the scumbags hide the truth from the people?
I was surprised this revelation was not removed or labeled as misinformation.

They had a news division?
“Pure propaganda & programming = News” if you are on that side of politics, it seems.
Leading Economic Indicator Sinks to Lowest Level in 28 Months: ‘Worsening Economic Conditions Ahead’
Listen, Jack. This is the best economy ever. As cornpop popcorn potato used to say, uh, you know the thing.
I bet Biden’s people will come up with a plan where the people that make the right financial decisions will end up paying for the idiots to help them score political points with the idiots.
Anyone else notice that it seems team blue’s strategy is basically to cater to stupid and evil, because statistically there is far more of that than otherwise?
Robbing Peter to pay Paul works just fine when you’re also doing your damnedest to create a bunch of Pauls.
You mean, like charging people with good credit ratings more for mortgages to subsidize people with bad credit ratings?

Uncle Sam loses money making money
Could just read “Uncle Sam loses money.”
“The average price of copper, nickel and zinc, which are the primary metals in each coin, have increased each year, resulting in an overall increase in the cost of metal for each denomination,” the U.S. Mint said in its report detailing the situation.
So you are better off just having the metals.
Todays melt value of a 1909-1981 penny is 0.0265. The new zinc cents are melt valued at 0.007.
Ikea plans $2.2 billion expansion in the US to rival Walmart and Target
Finally people will be able to loot tables to put their stolen TVs on.
I doubt that’s the kind of folks that would end up with an actual table after the whole Ikea process.
So they’ll end up with the stolen TV sitting on a stack of flat-packed table parts.
It doesn’t take me 42 minutes to get through Wal Mart or Target.

Charges against Alec Baldwin dropped in fatal shooting death of Halyna Hutchins
I guess they can start shooting that movie again.
The production team can certainly go out with a bang — no need to rifle through the financier’s pockets.
It’s a very high-caliber production.
Careful. We might trigger Swiss.
Don’t worry, he won’t go off half-cocked.

He’ll never go Winchester on gazes.
It’s going to be a big hit, #1 with a bullet!

People curious about what guns have good reputations:
Caveats — these guns are being run by competitors, so they are going to be on the bigger/heavier side. Also while these are all guns that need to be able to run many thousands of rounds without hiccup, Open division shooters are the kind of people wo enjoy putting in lots of time maintaining their racing gear. If you are interested in “normal” guns, completely disregard Open division, look at Production, Carry Optics, Single Stack and Revolver.
With all of that out of the way, this is what the shooters at the various USPSA National competitions are using:
https://s3.uspsa.io/media/2022_Survey.pdf
Production/Carry Optics guns boil down to:
– CZ or Tanfoglio if you can handle a DA/SA trigger,
– SIG if you can’t,
– Glock if you’re a Timmy who’s dipping his toe in competition,
– Beretta or Walther if you’re a giant gun hipster,
– Canik will do you fine if you don’t have a lot of cash (or if you’re Nils…)

A week after the midterm elections, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri offered a cold—but probably correct—diagnosis of the wreckage facing his party. Working-class, independent voters who had previously cast ballots for Barack Obama and Donald Trump had stayed home, thwarting the GOP’s hopes of a broad House majority and a narrow one in the Senate. The Red Wave forecast by so many never materialized, and the soul-searching had begun. …
Just consider the messages coming from House Republicans on Monday. McCarthy traveled to the beating heart of the global economy—Wall Street—to demand deep cuts in government spending in exchange for a vote that would let the government pay bills already accrued, a threat evocative of the 2011 debt ceiling showdown that sent markets into a crisis and cost Americans $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, his fellow House Republicans gathered nearby in lower Manhattan, employing dodgy crime stats at a show trial-esque hearing aimed at discrediting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is prosecuting Donald Trump’s fraud case.
Not to be too blunt, but neither of these headlines seem geared toward a Hawleyan reboot of the Republican Party. Spite can be fun, but it isn’t a policy. A global economic crisis is never good, but what’s potentially in the hopper amid the debt ceiling standoff would be a fiscal doomsday, with one analysis of the still-forming GOP debt plan agreement predicting it could cost more than 700,000 jobs. The policies put forward by McCarthy—no raised taxes, no touching of Social Security or Medicare—would demand a whopping 52% cut from everything else on the federal books to meet the goal of a balanced budget within a decade. And polls show a majority of Americans approve of Bragg’s prosecution of Trump. …
Put plainly, Republicans from Washington, D.C. to Tallahassee seem to be chasing political duds in order to placate the party’s fringes. It may feel good to go on cable and insinuate Biden is senile or criminal, and the party’s hacks may giggle. But that’s not a formula to win over swing voters who are watching from afar and just hoping Washington can remember that there are real people with real interests that need some real tending. This performative version of conservatism may feel fun in the moment, but it’s no substitute for long-term control of the gavels.
Only leftists policies can help the people. The government is us, all of us, after all.
TW: the book of faces. Apropos
1. “show trial-esque hearing” self-awareness = 0
2. “insinuate Biden is senile or criminal”: he’s probably both. Stop insinuating, charge him. And besides, I thought we were supposed to “do the right thing” regardless of consequences.
3. “not a formula to win over swing voters”: how many of these are there?
4. “not a formula to win over swing votes” + “no substitute for long-term control of the gavels”: Elliott clearly comes from the school that the only thing that matters is gaining, and maintaining, control over others.
5. “fiscal doomsday”: that’s gonna happen anyway. Perhaps we should try to have a modicum of control over it? Although, it’s hard to see how the problem is solved without some increase in taxes (I’m on the way to turn in my Glib card).
Cut spending to 2019 levels, no deficit. No need to increase taxes.
You misspelled 1919.

I’d admit my defeat in advance in order to avoid the shame of being destroyed in public.
Thanks, but I can’t take much credit for it. Somebody else coined the term “luxury beliefs” and it stuck with me. The upper class has always sought to distinguish itself in some manner. It used to just buy stuff beyond the reach of the deplorables, now it pursues pushing the boundaries of morals and ethics because they feel they can get away with it. The pedophilia and transgender craze seems to be a distinct outgrowth of that mindset as well.
https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/status-symbols-and-the-struggle-for
Thanks for that!
The lower upper class, the nouveau riche, craves distinction. The upper upper class, old money WASP, do not crave distinction. They have nothing to prove, and gain nothing by drawing attention to themselves.
Also, progressives, who are not the upper class materially, crave transitive experiences. The want to push boundaries for the simple act of pushing boundaries, they crave difference as a distinguishing act.
now it pursues pushing the boundaries of morals and ethics because they feel they can get away with it
That isn’t new. What is new (somewhat) is the complete lack of shame in public disclosure. Also, abandonment of any pretense of noblesse oblige, but that is more of an artifact of old money and society.

I think I saw the table they used in Brooklyn last year..
Judicial Watch is really doing some great work. Unfortunately I’m pretty black pilled about all these “smoking guns”. They’re just going from doing things in secret, to doing things in the open, because nobody’s going to do anything about it, and the general public is either on board or just doesn’t care.
Agreed. There isn’t any pretense about who controls the levers of power. Shine a light on their misdeeds all you want, it won’t make any difference.
I remarked the other day; the fact that the perpetrators of COVID aren’t decorating lampposts shows we’re past the point of no return.
While the team blue members of the he general pubic don’t care, there is a large swath of general public members that are being fed lies or kept in the dark that don’t know r understand what really is happening because it has not been explained to them so they get how criminal and corrupt the current system has become.
All those crazy hair trigger paranoid psychos out there. Where could they have come from?

Essential government services
President Joe Biden will sign an executive order Friday in an effort to expand on his administration’s environmental justice goals, such as delivering clean air and water to communities nationwide.
“For far too long, communities across our country have faced persistent environmental injustice through toxic pollution, underinvestment in infrastructure and critical services, and other disproportionate environmental harms often due to a legacy of racial discrimination including redlining, the White House said, detailing the executive order. “These communities with environmental justice concerns face even greater burdens due to climate change.”
Biden is scheduled to deliver remarks about the executive action from the White House Rose Garden on Friday afternoon. The president wants to ensure that Americans, regardless of their race or backgrounds, incomes, or places of residence, benefit from “cleaner air and water, reduced risk for asthma, cancer, and other health burdens, and better access to green space, safe and affordable housing, and clean transportation,” the White House said.
The order will establish the Office of Environmental Justice at the White House to coordinate the administration’s efforts to implement the new directives.
They’ll need a budget. Raise the debt ceiling, now.
Unconstitutional.
Next.
Too bad the constitution ceased to matter quite some time ago.
“reduced risk for asthma, cancer, and other health burdens, and better access to green space, safe and affordable housing, and clean transportation”

So a bunch of assholes meet in a legislator’s office …..
Local crazy pol and local teachers get into a dustup during a meeting and everybody comes out looking like an asshole.
In the end, I think I’m going to side with the right wing nutjob legislator. The local journalo does their very best to shine a favorable light on the simple teachers who were just there to talk about a special ed subsidy. But I remain unconvinced that they weren’t just as guilty of being jackasses.
That is the quote that makes me think that the teachers doth protest too much.
Sex ed is best taught from the gutter. It worked for 1000s of years. Kids have life too easy these days, Tijuana 8 pagers taught us every thing we needed to know.
There is quite a market for Tijuana Bibles these days.
I support keeping the Boy Scouts, youth camps, and church retreats out of schools.
If those other entities can bang kids, then dang it, we teachers want to get to do that too!
To be fair, they *are* all assholes.

Every biolab on the planet should be a smoking crater by now. And every one of these scientists in prison.
Oh, and I’d like a pony and a Wild Stanley Cup too.
I suspect that the reason that the masses are not up in arms and demanding justice is simply that the vast majority of people get their beliefs and righteous anger/indignation from whatever sources tell them how to feel. The politicized media has gone a long way to hide how horrible what the political scientific class did to us because they were complicit. I have often, after I explained details to people that were less informed, seen them either end up incredulous that things were so bad or fuming and angry. The masses are just controlled and not able to realize what was done to them.
Best I can do is a housebroken Stanley Cup.
A White House official said Biden plans to highlight in his speech Friday how his environmental justice and climate agenda “stands in stark contrast to the dangerous vision Speaker [Kevin] McCarthy and his extreme caucus have for our planet, our economy, and public health.”
The official said that the House Republicans’ recently passed energy measure that seeks to undo almost all of Biden’s climate change agenda “would be a climate and health disaster that President Biden won’t allow on his watch.”
Even Hitler loved nature.
President Biden (I mean his handlers) should be reminded that his “watch” is to execute the laws passed by the Congress. Not to come up with his own laws.
Uffda. King Walz seems to have caught some Special K-itis and thinks he could run for President
His recent State of the State sure seems like he is gearing up for a national run. Lots of shade thrown at Florida and DeSantis. Of course he lied about Florida banning books and other things.
Ummm.. which state exactly is forcing citizens to let men into women’s locker rooms? And the line about banishing hunger is awesome coming from a governor who’s administration paid more than $250M to thieves who looted the school lunch program.
Walz is a joke but not funny. He believes the tripe he puts out. Did he ever tell the bravery he exhibited when his NG unit got the call for overseas duty, where real people with real guns were shooting at one another?
Seems like a lot of the shooting is in the urban areas, that carry Walz politically.

Or maybe election day should be election day.
“Two weeks ahead of Election Day, we worked with Congressman John Duarte’s campaign to identify 18,000 strong Republican voters who hadn’t voted yet despite a wide window of early voting,” the RNC chairwoman will explain. “We shifted our strategy to repeatedly contact those voters as Election Day approached. Then, we worked with the California GOP to ballot harvest and ensure that those Republican votes made it to the ballot box in time to be counted.” The result? “Congressman Duarte won by just 564 votes,” McDaniel will highlight.
That, she hopes, will become the blueprint for the next major national elections in 2024 where ballot harvesting is legal, all while continuing the RNC’s legal work to maintain bans on harvesting where it remains unlawful. “We fight in the courtroom, but we play by the rules we’re given in the field,” McDaniel will explain.
“We need to ensure that voters bank as many votes before Election Day as possible — through early voting, absentee voting, and ballot harvesting where it’s legal,” McDaniel will add, calling for a continued GOP shift to beat Democrats at their own game. “If we only vote on Election Day, we will always be playing catch up to the Democrats,” she’ll emphasize.
She’s not wrong.
Whether she’s right or dead wrong depends on who “we” is. If “we” is every voter because you can only vote on Election Day, then she’s dead wrong.
Whatever, though. AZ elections are irredeemably rigged for the foreseeable. I won’t be voting again.
We already have proxy voting. We just call it ballot harvesting.
Just go with proxy voting. It was good enough for Congress.
Cut spending to 2019 levels, no deficit.
We can cut CO2 emissions by half, but we cannot even slow the growth of government spending.
Well you have to spend more to cut CO2. Duh.
No WCC update yet…they are nearly 6 hours into a grind of an end game. Its almost surely a draw, but its not obvious.
But, comment on the setting. They have a nice board and pieces, it is electronic, automatically sending moves made. This is standard for major tournaments. Nice stage, chairs, table etc. Each player has a break room with a chair and a couch and big tv (showing the board) and a snack table. Very professional, duh. As expected for this level, winner gets $1.2MM and loser $800k, iirc.
And then the clock is a red plastic piece of shit.
Draw is finally official.
Better get busy on your ark, people.
On it
Bravo. Excellent choice!

“A retired CIA leader coordinated a letter from former intelligence chiefs claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation because he wanted to help Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
Mike Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that he was asked by Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State – who at the time was a senior member of the Biden campaign – to help discredit the laptop reporting.
Morell was a former acting CIA director, serving for two months in 2011 and four months from 2012 to 2013. He retired from the CIA in September 2013.
The House Judiciary Committee, led by Jim Jordan, is currently investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop, as well as the Biden family businesses.”

“Furious Michigan residents slammed their Democratic state lawmakers for facilitating the construction of a Chinese-backed green energy project.
During a public hearing for the Michigan Senate’s appropriations committee, locals condemned plans to use $175 million in taxpayer funds to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Big Rapids Township owned by Chinese tech company Gotion.
Despite being aggressively confronted for considering the plans, the committee went on to approve the measure in a tight 10-9 vote, with every Republican and three Democrats on the committee coming out against it.”

Whatever assholes. I have gotten to where I recognize the writing style of leftists and I avoid their self-congratulatory verbal diarrhea.
The JMU Debate Team supports the flourishing of transgender people at JMU & beyond. We oppose the support given by groups on the JMU campus to bring Liz Wheeler to speak and we encourage any group offering her support to cease that support immediately.
So what I’m hearing is that the JMU debate team does not like debate or freedom of speech. Considering the school’s namesake, the irony is amazing.
No person should be prohibited from expressing their viewpoints in the public sphere, but we’ll spend the next several paragraphs explaining why this person is an exception to that otherwise absolute statement. We’ll let you know if any other people also should be prohibited from speaking.

Threesome?
On Thursday morning, Tennessee state Rep. Scotty Campbell (R) was walking to the Capitol in Nashville when a reporter stopped him to ask about allegations of harassment brought against him by an intern.
Campbell told NewsChannel 5 he “had consensual, adult conversations with two adults off property.” Six hours later, the lawmaker — who two weeks ago voted to expel three Democratic colleagues over decorum violations — submitted a letter of resignation, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) announced Thursday afternoon.
I don’t think any politician is capable of keeping his comments to himself.
The fact he resigned meant it had to be pretty bad. Dumbass.
“A North Carolina 6-year-old and her parents were shot Tuesday night by an angry neighbor who fired at them after a basketball rolled into his yard, a report said.
Kinsley White was wounded along with her mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, and father, William White, when a gunman opened fire around 8 p.m. in Gaston County after he became enraged about the bouncing ball, according to WSOC-TV.”

This will receive less attention for the obvious reason.
Me playing basketball at a young age indirectly led to our neighbors moving.
But at least they didnt shoot me.
Anybody else notice what sure seems like a coordinated campaign to undermine the idea of self-defense by suddenly making national news stories out of dumbasses shooting people who come on their property?
Yes.
Yep. This is the fourth or fifth news story I recall hearing about in the past week about similar items.

Yes. The old trick of reporting more on things that already happen in order to support a narrative, still works.

“NEW Ngo investigation: A #drag queen & ex-elementary school aide who helped groom a child into becoming a drag performer was convicted of nearly a dozen felony child sex crimes in Oregon. She was sentenced to less than a year in jail in a sweetheart deal.
Last year, @hunnybadgermom & I reported on Kelsey Boren’s arrest ahead of a child drag event at #Antifa bar Old Nick’s Pub in Eugene. (The pub is a meeting place for Antifa.) Boren was one of the adults who groomed the child into becoming a performer.
On Oct. 23, 2022, #Antifa & far-left extremists gathered to attack the small group who protested the child drag event at Old Nick’s Pub. The child performer was taught how to do drag by a now-convicted child sex offender.
Kelsey Boren is far from the only #drag queen who is also a child sex offender. In 2019, @houstonlibrary apologized after a Drag Queen Storytime performer was revealed to be a convicted child sex offender. Albert A. Garza, a male-to-female #trans person who used the drag name “Tatiana Mala Niña,” had a prior conviction for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old boy.”

This drivel has everything.
Weissmann said, “The key word that you used in Eugene is the word reputable. So if I were at a reputable news organization, I don’t know that I’d be particularly worried about what I saw at the National Enquirer, which was completely colluding with the Trump campaign, or what we saw at Fox News. If you talk to any reputable journalist, whether it’s in television, whether it’s in print media, this is so far beyond the pale in terms of what news is supposed to be. You’re just not colluding with one political campaign. So I don’t think that there’s a real sort of, you know, slippery slope here where we see liability here.”
He continued, “These are private parties that are suing. Their interest is not to get a public apology to defend American democracy or to protect the information flow. They’re trying to get the damages to their client. And so that’s where you really think the FEC —which did impose a small fine on the National Enquirer — needs to step in. And it can’t be a small fine. You really need to be thinking about, okay, what is the business model for the National Enquirer? What is the business model for Fox News and the next media company that’s going to pretend to be giving news but is actually going to be promulgating lies? Is there going to be some regulatory damage that’s going to deter that? So we don’t have a repetition because it’s really easy to just simply avoid denigrating a company so you won’t get sued but still promulgate a big lie. And so you need to have the government step in to have some kind of regulation of that kind of conduct.”
Progjection, no self-awareness, abject dishonesty, and outright calling for censorship.
Weissmann is a straight-up psychopath.
No reasonable person could disagree.
Certainly not Arthur Andersen.
Remember when NBC doctored the George Zimmerman 911 call to make him sound like a Grand Cyclops Wizard?
Remember when Katie Couric interviewed a group of gun rights advocated and doctored the video of it to make it look like they had no answers to her perfectly reasonable questions?
Remember when CNN called Nick Sandmann a white supremacist and Kyle Rittenhouse a murderer on the first day their respective stories were covered?
Well, I blame Fox News for all of it.
I’m just glad that we can all get along and compromise.
While speaking on “All Things Considered,” NPR White House Correspondent Asma Khalid stated, “I asked Jeff Zients, the White House Chief of Staff, why have you all been so unwilling to negotiate here? Because during the debt limit crisis in 2011, the Obama White House did negotiate with congressional Republicans and spending cuts were part of the conversation.”
She then played a clip of Zients saying, “If you’re going back a decade, I think the lesson learned was that playing brinksmanship with the full faith and credit…of our country and getting close to a period of default had major impacts on the economy, on families across the country. And we’re not doing that again.”
Zients also stated, “I think the off-ramp’s very clear. It’s the same off-ramp that was taken with no drama…when President Trump was in the White House, take default off the table, like we have every time. Don’t play games with the full faith and credit of the United States. It’s unacceptable. It’s not up for negotiation. And then have the separate discussion around different visions for the future of the country and budgets.”
“Do what we want or else.”
“Do what we want or else.”
