One thing you do see clearly on the media beat is how democracy struggles with the network of radical propaganda funded by the ultra wealthy and repeated by legacy media without an ounce of skepticism. Is that what you meant to say, Ben?

When I was younger I’d see the occasional John Birch Society billboard saying ‘US out of UN’. Somebody needs to put up a billboard in Geneva saying ‘UN out of US’.
Must have been a good article, for once, from Politico. Also, 100% projection about Don’s bag man.
Played ball in Arlington, TX 2003-2007. Much more famous for playing for George Costanza’s boss 2009-2016. Always looked like a punk to me. Guess I was right.
From 1945-1991, US kids learned ‘country with President face banners, soldiers on street=BAD!!’ I was one of them. It was visceral, not intellectual. As soon as Wall St could invest in Russia and China, that ended. Old Republicans aren’t hypocrites. They prioritize private wealth over democracy.
Just like the Ohio State wrestling doctor! If Jimmy says it, that settles it!
Somebody ask ol’ Cubes whether he’d pay the same tax rate as a person who makes $100K if it meant that he got every other thing he wanted out of Democrats. Doubt it.
I’d rather say ‘Heil Trump’ than get taxed on my obscene wealth. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
What is she on?
Olga, where did you get this? Are these drones?
1/3/29 (if we get there): A package of ‘the President can’t’ Bills should be ready for immediate passage. They should be written now and widely publicized before the midterms, then put to a vote in the House on 1/3/27, no matter what the Senate does. Is anybody working on that?
I do: TIM O’BRIEN, A FINE AUTHOR, SHOULD ‘STAY IN HIS LANE’. I, GAVIN C NEWSOM (YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR), WILL MAKE THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA FINALLY ADMIT THAT DONALD ‘LOW T’ TRUMP IS A GREEDY, DERANGED EGOMANIAC WHO IS A NO TALENT SHILL FOR NAZIS! YOU’RE WELCOME!
Dorian Orange.
Congrats to you and C’ville. Just looked at your new zoning code. Lowest density 3 units per lot, 6 when affordable! Will bring this to the next public comment meeting on a new General Plan in my town, Davis, CA. (75K pop incl 40K students). Big ‘NIMBY disguised as Tree Hugger’ energy here.
We’re lined up sort of like bowling pins: 40% white authoritarian racist/sexists; 30% Black/Latino; 20% white liberal; 10% Asian/mixed/Native/LGBTQ. (You know, roughly…) The bad guys are the single largest bloc. So what? We just need to remember that 30+20+10=60. And vote!
Don’t know why and don’t care, but my guy Gov GQ just grew a pair. You’re up, JB and Hochul. Don’t wanna get shown up by Hollywood, do ya? Let’s go! You too Coach Walz.
This reminds me of press scholar Jay Rosen’s use of the word ‘savvy’, focusing on the bad actor’s strategy, which is criticism, not praise. ‘Armed Feds Roam DC in Threatening Show of Force’ is the headline. ‘As Epstein Scandal Grows, Trump’s Responses Become More Extreme’ is below under ‘Opinion’.
Own GOOOOOOOOL!!!! Own GOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
Then you did New Orleans right.
Guys like Mamdani want everybody to be as well off as he is. Guys like Cuomo want to play everybody who makes less than Mamdani for fools. It’s not working.
Donald Costanza.
‘Gap year’.
Writing himself out of a job… or into one? I’m Bari Weiss… I’m Ross Douthat… I’m Thomas Chatterton Williams… And this… is 60 Minutes.
Damn! Nothing more NorCal than a Dead tribute in the Park! You are my favorite New Yorker! Thanks for sharing.
Important point for the bench and bar. The hallowed Case or Controversy Clause is now rendered worthless by Leonard Leo & Co. We’re past Fort Sumter, past Bull Run, next stop Gettysburg. The cannonballs this time are Supreme Court decisions. The Confederacy wins without firing a shot.
Gutfeld meets Gutless.
Cargo Shorts Joe Manchin.
I’m no neurologist, but I’m gonna say that’s not the stroke. We (I gave him some $) got played. He’s just Tall Joe Rogan.
I gave that f@$#er money. Fool me once, shame on you Johnny Cargo Shorts.
Presidio Parade Grounds, Crissey Field, Legion of Honor. Never tire of these views of the Golden Gate.
Typical broligarchs. Divide our own pie by two more pieces, or steal Europe’s? What do you think we are? Fans?
His bag of excuses/diversions is empty. He’s one step away from ‘she said she was 18’.
Quite a day for Trump video. Fake golf score followed by fake ‘full head of hair’. Now let’s get hose Epstein files!
I only bothered to look at a picture of Tommy Chatterbox recently. His middle name, or that he uses it, screamed Prepster On Crack, so when I saw that he was black, the popularity of his weak schtick with Very Serious Contrarian Loving Elites clicked. You gotta debate that hack, Jamelle!
I keep thinking about Michael Corleone just before he shoots Solozzo and McCluskey.
Slightly improved.
I didn’t mean ‘look at me, and laugh uncontrollably!’
‘Democratic maneuver’. Who’s maneuvering here? Won’t work, Nazi Grandma.
They used to figure out who ‘we’ would listen to. Now the corner office bros put on who ‘they’ would listen to.
The ‘media’ or whatever they are now, ‘content pipeline oligarchs’, demanded that minimum hypocrisy from bad powerful people. The ubiquitous ‘walking back’ from what were known as ‘Kingsley gaffes’ was part of that. Now it’s ‘bad for America but good for CBS!’ 24/7. Laugh all the way to the bank.
As a scholar of right wing history, are these Silicon Valley racist incels any less bad than the people you study?
We have to totally shut down all immigration from Silicon Valley to politics until we find out what the hell is going on. (Spoiler: racism).
As lawyers, we are ‘zealous advocates’ but can’t lie to the court. We ‘allege’. We try to prove our allegations. The court decides the facts. We settle to avoid those ‘stakes’. Democracy can’t settle. The ‘view from nowhere’ prints allegations and gives up. Deciding the facts isn’t being biased.
Put a beard on Jeff Davis and call it JD Vance.
Yup, they ‘welfare queened’. The oldest lie in the book. Reagan’s ghost was laughing. Takes about 5 seconds to disprove on Google. Not that Fox would, but what about CNN, The Sunday Shows, etc?
Gotta have a lot of confidence in your BS game (way too much IMO) to think dropping the word ‘Union’ in there covers up your obvious desire to abolish the 14th Amendment, JD. We know what side you rooted for in grade school, pal.
Which side did your ancestors fight for, Bowman?
And that was the ultimate projection by AG & company. Mamdani’s not running for movie director or Columbia professor, dummy! The rich kid obsession with where you went to college and whether you ‘deserved’ it is pathetic.
These guys never watched Animal House, but if they did, they’d root for Niedermeyer.
Jewish Weather Lasers.
We’ll be marching; he’ll be pretending he’s a Roman emperor. No bread; just circuses.
(Monty Burns rubs hands together). ‘Excellent!’
Courir a Alberta, Tory.
I’m sick of this guy and I’m not even European. Is he the only European who kisses up to Trump? I hope so.
Just did a couple lines with Don Jr.
Moving to Alberta?
Wow. NYT hired this guy as a ‘science’ writer. That is one deep Nazi mole. Finally outed himself. Or did Nepoburger the XIV and Co always know? Was he a ‘sleeper cell’ assigned to get Mamdani, now with the bonus of a pretext for firing Bouie?
The NYT is Republican. They’re afraid of Mamdani because lazy nepo dilettantes might get taxed. That’s because it’s owned by lazy nepo dilettantes. Tax ‘em Mamdani!
You bet they do. They’re the ones greenlighting that article.
I got it. And the middle school aged paper boy on a bike too!
I’m not sure there’s ever been somebody described as ‘unstoppable’ and ‘beloved’. Maybe Wemby is that guy. Love that dude.
Tried to convince people to call them the ‘Cans when they changed their name. Maybe now that fits.
Sacrifice bunt down 4 in the bottom seventh. Tips his cap to the booing crowd jogging back to dugout.

Herzlich wilkommen! Es tut mir leid… (ich bin ein Kings fan)
Even if you’re from here. We learned to laugh about the ‘Kangz’ a long time ago. One playoff didn’t change that.
Recently saw a shot of that trolling mole Barro talking to that Vichy Dem Richie Torres. Looks like Village People Construction Guy.
We all try to come up with encapsulated takes here, but some are better than others. Way better! You could substitute so many media types here, from the owners to the overpaid talking heads!
Justice Amy Marie Antoinette.
(Former) A’s fan here. It was a gift to see The Cobra in person. The swing, the swagger. Never forgotten. RIP.
One last chance. Project 250: -filibuster out -13 justices -52 states -double DC, C of A bench -ACLU/NAACP blitzkrieg FedSoc rulings -no ICE, citizenship path -billionaire tax -campaign/ethics reform -expand Medicaid/Obamacare/Medicare/SS -aggressive labor/consumer/antitrust/enviro enforcement
So sorry for your loss. I thought we had a monopoly on corporate douches meddling in sports here in the US. But congrats to Canada on 4/10 Finals starters. That was epic.
Glue trying to pass as rubber, Barrett.
Nadler!
It’s an unknown unknown.
(Vance looks under conference table) Is the uranium under here? It’s around here somewhere! Heh-heh…
Damn it man! You are right that it is a a Freudian mind f**k. In the most insidious way possible.
BOOM!
Fool me twice, I must be a ‘swing voter’.
Rob Schneider trying to look like Belushi.
I’m rubber, you’re glue.
Hmmm… not unless they kill themselves planting the mines. And we're not ‘at war’, right?
We won’t get Frummed again!
Thinking about mortgage-level trucks this am when Iran said they’ll block the Persian Gulf. I can picture that guy at the pump…
I was against forever wars, just like Trump. But Biden bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal so badly that I have to support Trump starting WW3 with Iran. By Jake Tapper
Bless my heart? No, bless your heart, Jimmy Dave.
Tomorrow morning is not too soon. Already emailed my guy (D) and Swalwell who seems up to it. Hakeem will call it a distraction.
Impeachment please, sir. Immediately. First thing tomorrow. You should lead it. Thank you.
There’s my Gay American!
Honestly, why the hell did those ever disappear? Showtime Lakers fan here, so I prefer ‘85 Game Six, but if Brent Musberger can sound like a master story teller, anybody can. Do we know who’s doing PBP for NBC?
So Philippines, Thailand, India are super cool with us flying over? Just quickly looked at Google Earth; interested whether there’s another path from Guam.
This is what we call a cracker-baiting Yale POS.
Welcome to California, Jimmy Don Vance.
West Coast here, feeling so sad about the cold-blooded ‘divide and conquer’ types attacking Mamdani. People of every color and faith who support him are an inspiration, especially Jewish New Yorkers resisting the manipulation. If you can, read his dad’s book Good Muslim/Bad Muslim.
That Frazier/Monroe backcourt… Clyde was at his peak and was an icon; Earl was maybe a year or two past his, but a legend. Did The Pearl have any open court 360 spins in this one? Great times for 12-year-old me.
Two weeks=Trump Unit.
Next step: merge with the Times. The Washington Times.
They’re all computer.
Sometimes I wonder if the ‘diaspora’ of corporate yuppies who moved to (now) blue cities in red states for promotions and cheap housing regret it. Georgia is sorta purple, NC occasionally gets there, but TN? It’s at war with Memphis and Nashville. Are smoothies, pro sports and indie music enough?
Just watched him scream about Iraq in ‘16 at Jeb ‘… and we didn’t even keep it!’ He would prefer that Canada were the 52nd state!
