Some kids attempting to blow up journalists after days of politicians blaming the press for Kirk’s murder. Barely a ripple.

& by "like," I mean thanks for posting the provision, not that I like the policy. The provision is fuckery. So.Africa would still be apartheid but for the boycott.
Glad they kept everyone who was competent, eh?
Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

Kilmeade still has his job. The reichwing has a real thing for trans people. "Nosferatu McGoebbels" voice pitch was so high the bats came calling. All this & more, said better than this summary.
No fans, no viewers, no *media*? Wow. Schmucks.

Well, why don't they want us to hear all about endless transplants that will make *them* immortal - but not you or I?
Read the whole thread
Miller is Joseph McCarthy if McCarthy had been fully in control of the United States government.
My message to County leadership:
Wow. (From two weeks ago.)
Flipping victims & offenders, Miller called his political opponents “domestic terrorists” & warned “The power of law enforcement under Pres. Trump's leadership will be used to find you, be used to take away your money, take away your power, & if you've broken the law, to take away your freedom.”

Well, that is just lovely. Sports fans have been booing him since 2019.
That would save us money, but reduce the opportunities for grift
A lot of media have flocked to Salt Lake City after Charles Kirk's murder.
“Kilmeade is advocating for extrajudicial killings on FOX, yet Matthew Dowd was fired by MSNBC [for] pointing out Charlie Kirk’s dangerous rhetoric,” author Shannon Watts said on X. “This moral asymmetry in the media and online is destroying democracy.”
And this was the Republi-Q people were saying "gosh, at least he mentioned the assassinated Democrats"? No sources for this assertion
So the state wrongly applied the law, gets spanked. Meanwhile, Cop City got built, & the defendants' lives were f-d up
Wanna bet the grifters are planning to sell it off *&* pocket the "disposal" fee?
On a scale of 1 to 10? Maybe 11
It'll be a long slog to rebuild our justice system.

She's all made b/c Wikipedia deemed her not famous enough to warrant her own page. She'll start a civil war just to get one, yeh?
Yeh, & that "foreign" accent on the guy! The Supremes said it's ok to profile for now. They may've overestimated the brain power of the ICE eedjits. How many more countries can we get to hate us? Putie loves it!
We have no business interfering.

Missed this in March.
Photo appears to have been published in "The Times," 6.29.72, front page, "Roy Cohn Spotted at Studio 54" in the trailer for the documentary "Where's My Roy Cohn?"
here's the photo, if you don't want to click through:
Not sure Cohn was a pedo; he was a horrible excuse for a human. (I'm leery of the conflation of queer + pedo) Trying to research the issue, came across this, w/ a photo I'd not seen-never heard of the source, so get your salt shaker.
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

New in PN: Kash's FBI is a mess "Patel and Bongino have carried out a purge partly in fear of being fired by Trump, & under the influence — and sometimes direction — of their social media followings. In fact, they're so focused on clout that it could be affecting the FBI’s ability to solve crimes."
