Two college drop outs. A serial philanderer, and one hard working individual. Which one deserves the most respect?
Yes. Bad.
I’m disgusted that 6 people can impose their personal views on the country by overturning decades of precedent and calling the decision originality. I have no trust in this institution. I will not read this book.
30 cases of voter fraud annually, and the GOP passes 104 voter suppression laws. 47,000 gun deaths a year, and the GOP does absolutely NOTHING.
Yes Kai feckless. But more importantly he epitomizes how journalism and the major media outlets, print and electronic, have failed us.
He can’t be hidden forever.
Carter has a degree in pharmacology and distrusts vaccines? Hard for me To wrap My head around that.
Good point Ron. Do you run for office so you can cheat the public using investment information not available to others so you can enrich yourself? Don’t you put doing citizens’ business ahead of your own interests? Clearly not.
Gorka gets Sinclair stations to broadcast his views without interference or awkward questions. At least CNN asked the question. Pardon me if I don’t accept Gorka’s data.
Better idea. Let’s fire Kari lake and save money and heartburn. That this vile human being leads an historic organization like VOA that was founded to communicate American values is disgusting.
This is why I don’t read NYT or put much faith it’d it’s journalism. But the games are great! Sad that this once great institution is reduced to bro g purchased for games instead of content.
Define manipulated Mike. The ones you like are accurate and the ones you don’t like are fake?
Is she afraid of a little competition? Looks that way.
I was at a confirmation hearing where Ernst castigated the nominee for referring to her as “vile” on partisan social media. Wondering if the senator has any regrets about her actions now.
Maybe she can return to her former job castrating pigs. She seemed to like it a lot!
“companies plan MORE price hikes….” There I fixed your headline WSJ. Have any of you shopped for food recently?
Did he just admit to lying?
Cassidy ought to know a thing or two about “lacking legitimacy.”
No.
But did she make the release intentionally knowing the status of the officer?
He is a disgrace to his family, his profession and the country.
I’m Sure all of Oslo is scurrying around trying to address Ms Lindsaybelles’ stern letter.
CNN continues to circle the drain. Curious how many of their viewer stare actually tvs in public places broadcasting CNN with the volume turned off.
Something to ponder: are NYT and WaPo still the leading papers? They think they are but I don’t.
WaPo should have endorsed Harris so we didn’t end up here.
I’m ashamed that she is in the Senate. She’s does nothing
With every expression offices “concern” she demonstrates why she would be removed From Her office. Concern is not a strategy but an act of avoidance. She is no legislator. Shame on her for her fecklessness. She’s in good company tho with murkowski, Cassidy and tillis.
Run. He needs to retire.
The 2A gun nuts who were ready to arm themselves if the government deployed the mitary to silence them have been awfully quiet lately.
Joe is becoming the morning equivalent of Scott Jennings.
Thanks for the thread! An observation for you to consider. Most MAGA don’t read NYT or WaPo because they see them As left wing rags. Leftists do t think either paper is reliable. Sadly the NYT is creating a narrative that doesn’t capture facts. those words will last for a long time.
It's worth reiterating that the administration has never wavered from the position that it sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an El Salvador prison by accident. Everything they've done since is calculated to obscure that and punish him for existing as an example of their own stupidity and callousness.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
This expenditure qualifies as waste, fraud and abuse.
Looks like he is a better medium than a legislator. Does he hold town halls? Looks like he only does teletownhalls. Kinda like being a medium lol.
Did he use his sharpie on the map?
She has to be protected by the department of defense. What does that say about her ability and willingness to secure the homeland? She does lead DHS right?
He needs to hire a social media team like Newsom’s if he really wants to do it right. His posts are flat and don’t resonate.
Disgusting. This is an example of the weaponization and politicization of the IS justice system. What did Israel agree to do in exchange?
It was more safe before you came.
Why? What does Russia deserve? I know! We can give full international pariah status!
Which sources?
But these two articles can’t restore my trust in either publication. These articles are statements of the obvious. Not insightful journalism.
He doesn’t understand how diplomacy works. Foreign affairs are not just a deal without consequences.
Not entirely sure I believe a CNN Report without additional verification.
I don’t recognize any of the authors of the WaPo article. Before I consider it further I’d have to have a better idea about their reporting track Records. The tsunami of experienced reporters leaving the WaPo has take A big toll on its reputation.
His benefactors are keeping him Away from the maelstrom in DCSo he won’t be tainted by it. Good luck with that.
Not sure who made this meme, but they are spot on.
Imagine doing this at Buckingham Palace or at the Elysee in Paris. vulgar.
Made bread today specifically so I could have a real summer tomato sandwich.
Probably didn’t want to waste his time.
Leaving a sinking ship. On the rare occasion with I look at WaPo, I don’t recognize the reporters’ names. So I’m less likely to believe the article and more likely to be more skeptical of it since I have no knowledge of their reporting track record. You know, relevant and reliable sources.
i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
the government has given the public and the courts ample reason For doubting it. Again the NYT is trying f to Create its preferred narrative instead of Objective reporting.
In other words he wants to make up his own numbers.
And this is a sudden “Aha!” Moment for her? How long has she been in Congress?
Does anyone read WaPo anymore?
Good point Mark but your suggestion doesn’t fit the narrative the NYT is trying to f to create.
Yes!!!!!
Soft pedaling the truth doesn’t make it less true. But it shows us NYTs true colors. Words are important and these words in this headline are damaging. Shame on Peter Baker and the NYT editors.
Happy National Day Switzerland! Celebrates the founding of the Confederation in 1291!
Great article Joyce. The amount of damage he can do over a lifetime on the bench is incalculable. And of course he will he sought after by those wishing to determine the outcome of a case before it oven goes to his court.
Trump was impeached, twice. Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.
The WaPo opinion section is hardly different from that is the Washington Times these days. Thank goodness I can get to the section I read without perusing the paper-games!
Never in a million years. Can’t trust him with any personally identifying data.
It is possible. You know what they say: believe people when they you who they are (even if they are shifty politicians).
His consistency is to change his story and explanation to suit the current situation. Facts don’t really matter to him.
Every accusation is an admission.
Hard pass.
Remind Them that the new world was not new to the natives that met the ship and that their incredible discovery is unlikely to be new.
Can you say, “ Amazon pharmacy?”
The only thinking at this once great paper is now done only by those of Us that play the NYT games but do not even scan the rest of the paper.
You’re not his type Tucker. Get over it.
Think about this the next time she runs for office if she dares. Do the rest of us a favor.
Yes it does Brendan but not the one you’re supporting.
Awestruck by Jonah Paquette. My book club read it and we’ve it stopped talking g about it or referring to it.
I truly intended this just as an email and not a public thing but fuck it we ball. The New York Times is not alone in its culpability but it is deeply culpable and its near-monopoly status in our blighted American media ecosystem allows it to do what it does.
Advice from Josh Hawley? That makes me question his overall decision making process if he considers Hawley To Be a reliable Source. Shame on you angus.
Newsweek…. You’re missing nothing.
This is a Brett Stephens “I’m just asking the question” moment attempting to deflect attention from the truth that thousands of people have been killed.
It’s too late for him to undo the damage he has done by suddenly having this change of heart. How do I know it is sincere and not tactical? I don’t.
Duh! The AI hype has focused on the advantages but not highlighted the enormous dangers.
This means Murkowski votes yes?
Without complete transparency about the meeting content I’m skeptical about it.
Right Elizabeth!!! I always say that the plural of anecdote is not data!!
Lacks mental and political toughness. She got what she bargained for. Remember the stain of of vote will remain permanently.
Anecdote from families is not data.
Isn’t that called assault?
I would not carry a copy of the paper in public. People judge you by the company you keep. The games tho are good and probably one of the parts of the paper that has prompted people to retain their subscriptions.
Where is Home Depot’s corporate pushback?
I told you his recent revelations about his party were not credible. His reputation will be perpetually stained.
He’s trying to create a narrative that says he opposes a bill he voted for. He knows his little bill stands no chance of approval, and so do his constituents. Does he really think voters are that stupid?
Consider the source of this opinion. And it is truly opinion.
Using the term “some users” without quantifying that number is suspicious. Was CNN looking for an excuse to raise this topic and did so based on one user in a thousand making the comment? Shoddy reporting.
Fact free assertions often begin with the words, "We all know...." No, we don't know. That is an assumption. The plural of assumption is not fact.
People like and numbers (can be made to) lie. Truth can ultimately be found in numbers though. No so much in people.
Words can’t be unsaid, and explaining is losing. His evil words will survive despite this feeble effort.
NYT writers and editors fully understand the power of words. They intend to create a vernacular that soft pedals issues and creates a record they hope will be quoted. They want to create the record rather than report for the record.
Kai I am reminded of Liz Cheney’s comment. "I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain."
