      The media actively whitewashes all of this. What other convicted felon (rapist) would get a pass like this?

      It’s absolutely “hilarious” when NPR calls him “President Trump” and not “convicted felon Trump” or “rapist Trump”. NPR is supposedly some liberal bastion of honesty, etc. But they’re absolute bootlicking enablers.

      Liberalism <—> Fascism.

        Take a look at the public NPR board at the bottom. I just clicked one executive and here is a paragraph on her:

        Most recently, Levene was President of the National Media Group at Meredith Corporation, where she oversaw the company’s 40+ iconic brands including PEOPLE, Allrecipes, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, TRAVEL&LEISURE, REAL SIMPLE and Magnolia Journal. She joined the company in 2019 as Chief Strategy Officer. Later that year, she was named Chief Digital Officer, responsible for the digital P&L of the company’s iconic brands. In late 2020, she was named President of Meredith’s National Media Group adding the print and licensing businesses to her management portfolio and making history as the company’s first female Corporate Officer. As President, she led the National Media Group through a period of unprecedented digital expansion, revenue growth and diversification, and strategic application of first-party data and consumer insights. Prior to Meredith’s sale to IAC’s DotDash in December 2021, the National Media Group reached nearly 190 million unduplicated American consumers every month across digital, print, social platforms, video, audio and connected home assistants.

        NPR is who the board is. They’re trying to hide it a little more behind links and I don’t have time to go through everyone. I bet there are a shit ton of corporations on there like the last time I checked in 2024.

        Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.

        You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.

        Unfortunately, you don’t have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.

          On politics with a 65% turnout election, you need more than 32.5%

          This why 40% approval is enough to win. Specially if your rival is purist and doesn’t vote for many reasons.

            I ain’t enjoying shit of this, I just consider it one of the last spaces of the free exchange of ideas and information left. I heard BlueSky is already on the chopping block. Like healthy cells surrounded by metastases, one by one they get consumed.

            But maybe I wax too dramatic when I’m tired and drunk, and the morning is young as the old night dies. I can go on, et cetera, alas, and so forth. Hark. Would you render yonder and caress my Sony Trinitron screen of vint most fine? My cask thumps hollow!

          We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you’re right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.

            Soldiers will obey orders. That’s what they do.

            My Lai, Abu Ghraib, Kent State, Bonus Army March.

            Soldiers aren’t trained to be moral philosophers, they’re paid to do what they’re told

              Proving the point perfectly. They aren’t paid to think. They’re paid to follow orders.

              When the time comes, they will not hesitate to fire upon US civilians, and those who do will be shot alongside them.

      Both were blackmailers, their wonderful secret. That’s why they were such enigmas. But epstein was connected to a foreign intelligence agency, maybe the president was too, even that far back.
