He looked truly terrible a few weeks ago. He seems to be recovering. How are the worst people so long lasting?

Hegseth is still there.

Conservatives are not hearing real news. If you take a gander at the reddit conservative sub-reddit, they are talking about Walz and Omar as if they did fraud because “it was on their watch.” Also, Kelsey Grammer says trump is the greatest president, lol.

MTG breaks that bubble. I see now why they’re trying so hard to attack her.

Have you used any AI to try and get it to do something? It learns generally, not specifically. So you give it instructions and then it goes, “How about this?” You tell it that it’s not quite right and to fix these things and it goes off on a completely different tangent in other areas. It’s like working with an 8 year old who has access to the greatest stuff around.

“‘People were crying laughing’ — I’ve never heard a less plausible NYC subway story,” one user wrote.

Trump is so much worse than Hegseth, now what?

I think we need to understand the rational reasons immigrants that are entering as a minority into this country might adopt rightwing/conservative beliefs.

Your following paragraphs don’t really explain what the rational reasoning is, just that it’s required. What are they?

Was this during the doge days? If they already hacked the government, why were they let in again?

brothers were federal contractors working for an undisclosed company in Washington, DC

Damn, don’t get your fingers near their mouths.

They are also trying their best for their states to have white babies. Our country is depopulating and immigrants are the only ones having babies. That’s what all of this is about, just plain old racism.

Especially when it’s those same politicians that like the porn that they rail against (or illegal porn).

They are now the owners of TikTok and these views are stupidly fake as well. Now we know what they want the users to see, anti-immigrant posts.

Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX will be main investors in TikTok U.S., sources say

This is them going all in on the Cartman defense. Notice there isn’t a peep about Hegseth ordering to kill everyone? They’re still blaming the admiral completely, lol. I hope the other admirals and generals know they will be thrown under the bus as well.

Speaking of:

The DOJ has until Dec. 19, 30 days after Trump signed the bill, to release the files.

But that is the latest; it is possible for them to be released sooner.

This may be the real reason r’s are losing all of the elections, lol. They are entirely red states.

I posted this in another comment, but I really want to know if the redacted names are clients or victims.

This is from the Oversight Committee’s official page:

She yelled no such thing. From the article about it in the Miami Herald, she wouldn’t recognize the ICE agents as legit.

As a representative of the Trump administration, he technically qualifies as a Special Government Employee — a designation that requires specific legal guidelines.

However, “Trump has not named Kushner an SGE,” noted Legum, even though a 1977 Department of Justice opinion suggests that performing governmental functions under presidential direction can constitute an official capacity.

“Here, Kushner is engaged in activities that can only be conducted by government officials,” wrote Legum.

This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

“She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

Edit: So basically, she wouldn’t show them her gold star. WTF country are we fucking living in.

Wolff discussed something that I had never heard before: that Steve Bannon, basically right up to the time Epstein died, was working with him on a combo rebrand/crisis comms effort to rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation. Yes! Bannon was working as Epstein’s image rehab specialist. The man at the center of all the anti-“elite”, anti-“globalist” pedophiles was tight with Epstein and trying to help him come in from the sex offender cold. He’d actually done hours of video interviews with Epstein as prep for either a 60 Minutes or 60 Minutes-style interview to revive his reputation.

Stuff like this is a reminder that what I’m describing here is mostly a media story. It’s no huge surprise that Bannon is an utter sleazebag or someone with a high tolerance for sexual predators. I confess to being perversely wowed by the brazen shamelessness of the switcheroo. But that’s another story. What’s kind of mystifying is how little Bannon or his Epstein image rehab doc project has gotten in the furor over the Epstein emails. It’s not that it’s gone unnoticed. The presence of Bannon-Epstein emails got at least a mention in many reports. But not the sheer volume or really the substance. Indeed, the press reports I was able to find about the image rehab doc tend to be in the entertainment press, like this one in The Hollywood Reporter. There’s much less in the political press.
