When he wipes his ass he could wipe 10 million people off the face of the earth.

>>>> Same guy can't even contain his booty calls

 

Russia, if you're listening, please release Donald Trump's tax documents. And those of his "foundation." And all of his emails. And ...

 

Coupled in the wagering with "we'll announce our plan in two weeks."

This from Taibbi - in the middle of a piece about conspiracy theories - is smart, and true:

50 Years After the Moon Landing: Why Conspiracy Theories Won’t Die

Now the almost unanimous assessment of our intellectual elite is that loony strains must be stamped out, by policing of Internet sites if necessary. The thinking is, if it’s Sasquatch sites today, it’ll be eugenics and QAnon tomorrow.

Maybe so, but until we face the reasons people lost faith in official narratives in the first place, conspiracy theories will probably keep proliferating. It’s not that people don’t want to believe objective truth. It’s just getting harder to find where that is.

This background was a huge and underreported subtext to the Trump phenomenon. Media outlets continue to assign battalions of reporters to the task of documenting Trump’s deceptions, in the apparent belief this will impact his support.

But Trump’s voters know he lies, and mostly don’t care. They view his personal bleatings as less damaging than institutional deceptions on the other side.

Both Trump’s campaign and the run of Bernie Sanders in 2016 attracted voters who had tuned out mass media narratives, which are now viewed by significant numbers of people on both the left and the right as inherently corrupt and untrustworthy.

 

I realize AOC and most congresspeople are very busy, but if you’re her, how are you not tempted to just head on down to Fox News, go into the lobby, have the producers called and tell them you’re willing to go on air at that moment to debate these empty talking heads.

Either she gets to go on and shred them, or they look like cowards for refusing to put her on.

 

i like supreme court justices who didn't die
