  1. It's not bail , he is being forced to post an excessive bond for an excessive fine in a civil suit. A suit in which there was no victim or party harmed by Trump's actions. The Bolsheviks went into the palace and killed the Czar in 1917, today they guard the power they have accrued by attacking the citizenry from the citadels of power, weaponizing the institutions against those who are trying to dislodge them. 21st century bolshevism just as power lusty but less literal bloody.
  2. Her 'tactic' is more like a collaborative practice. When 'newspapers' ( pages of text created by pressing paper against wet ink aka "the printing press" aka 'the press') were within common knowledge controlled and or sympathetic to certain political parties. The powers that be could not point to a 'story' generated by the 'press' as really even an approximation of 'fact', the smear couldn't even get off the page Jackson's opponents and their papers decried him as a whore lover and his wife a whore, but everyone knew whether or not that was true, those saying it were doing so to harm him politically , maybe she was a whore , but whatevs right ? Somebody figured out they needed to convince the 'people' that a thing called 'journalism' somehow got hatched and manifest 'itself' with non-partisanship and objectivity. The scourge of yellow journalism is over! Our institutions have created a whole new practice and school of a pure field and all the accredited participants shall from this day forth only pay fealty to the "Truth", a "press' worthy of attention! I'm no etymologist or linguist , but I wonder if 'news' isn't more related to 'gossip or story' then say the concept of chronicle. Freedom of the press meant or should have that pamphleteers may distribute their products and the contents thereof without fear of reprisal from government entities,for and from criticizing the government or individuals up to but not including blatant falsehoods. "Objective News" is the press of the Uniparty, institutionalized fields are 'of' the institutions. Yarvin's concept of the "cathedral"( not even his term but I think he is most associated with it) points to how the centers of power wield it, was the 'grey old lady' really ever at odds, fundamentally, with the 'ivy league'? That is why SC justices today seem perplexed that the 1 st amendment gets in the way of the 'news that is fit to print'.
  3. Cuomo on PBD was worse and better, the more recent one with Candace Owens and Cuomo. Worse because Patrick let Chris bloviate for too long and often, but better because when he came up for a breath and let Candace speak she lit into him and his posturing about his past statements and demeanor on CNN. I'd suggest watching, but if the Tucker interview pained at all, this is worse , but better
  4. I can’t stand Cuomo. I can tolerate a certain level of arrogance but not with unprincipled buffoons. And something is trying really hard to rehabilitate or repackage him for MAGA and adjacent audiences. I was disappointed to see Tucker not even allude to his brother’s acquiescence to elder killings. Disappointed also with PBD’s man crush on Cuomo.
  5. Guess her mission to get Ukraine into NATO or kill them tryin’ is up. Havard needs a new prez yeah ?
  6. I think we can see some of that anti-MAGA anything attitude cracking in some segments of "normie" world. For example in the general 'feel' of the Tucker/Lex podcast , where if you identify Lex with 'normie' and Tucker as at least MAGA adjacent, where though no real explicit statements came from Lex's responses to things Tucker was saying about how far off the rails things are socially and politically there was no real 'calling out' from Lex to 'correct'. My wife on the other hand had a much more emotional response, lol. She was irate about Lex's question phrasing and some of the comments he did make in response, she felt he was very defensive and was trying to bait the opposition via Tucker, I didn't quite agree with her assessment, but that doesn't mean I should have tried to defend Lex , lol. One of the big moments that just felt like it may have struck a chord with Lex and presumably the more normie element of his audience was when Tucker said (paraphrasing) " America, no matter what you think about Trump the person, can surely survive four more years .. really.." And like MSK said , the portion of the 'viewing audience' that pays attention to the corporate media structure is shrinking away. CNN viewers will not have seen Tucker and Lex talking, but a lot more eyeballs and minds are paying attention to those conversations.
  7. I do not think that is a 'real' video. I'm pretty sure it's a parody, the video sequence of Wade gazing up with furrowed brow is the same clip when in court , irl, he took an inordinate amount of time to answer whether or not he shared a cabin with Fawni.
  8. I'd assume that were he relating this on tape there'd be two "IF"s with his tongue firmly in cheek.
  9. PBD has a good look at the other side of the cause and effect , and if his reasoning is sound(usually a good bet with PBD) is the real intended effect ( and maybe a real $40 m hit to Trump regardless appeal outcome, though it seems he should be able to re-coup bond ?)
  10. Given her demeanor and what seems like her general aptitude the lawfare people picked a perfect candidate for being the ‘face’ of the illegitimate RICO prosecution. A choice that gives them cover and plausible deniability when the eventual legal shit hits the fan. Picking a paramour with no experience in this are of law , re RICO prosecutions , is incompetent on a level that obviously have her removed from office let alone this particular case. But I do believe her as to the personal monies involved in the vacation transactions. I am a little curious why the defendant’s legal team focused specifically on the nature of the payments, cash is king and her testimony in line with her actions seem plausible and believable to me. But Fulton county sure seems to have a dearth in the talent pool that she ended up as the DA. Georgia should be embarrassed.
  11. Worse yet, an engineered introduction and propagation of addiction to addictions. The business model will fill itself out and all you have to do is give someone their first gram of cocaine gratis.
  12. Just try and tell me this isn't proof Taylor Swift is actually a time bending witch from an astral plane, she is both of these women!
  13. If only there were some kind of record that someone could look at to try and determine how Trump would proceed in affairs internationale.
