On a serious note, no Democratic politician from the coasts could ever go visit a Republican-led city in the South & then go on a liberal media outlet & call it repulsive, smelly, & disgusting. No way. A reminder of the double standards, & asymmetry, in our politics & our media.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on New York: It’s disgusting… It was repulsive, it smells bad. I think it's a very terrible place.

The distillate of modern conservatism: "Pick a victim and gang up on it"

Here's what we should do: Pick a victim, gang up on it, and make an example of it. We can't boycott every woke company or even most of them. But we can pick one, it hardly matters which, and target it with a ruthless boycott campaign. Claim one scalp then move onto the next.

BBC gets about 70% of its funding from the government (via license fees), NPR gets about 1-2%. Former is not listed as state-affiliate media, but NPR is. Along with deverifying NY Times, illustrates how Musk is the one running a propaganda outfit to fit with his political views.

Elon Musk's Twitter has added a label to NPR listing it as "state-affiliate media," putting it on par with Russia's RT and China's Xinhua forbes.com/sites/mattnova

This is not some outlier case compared to GA or Jan. 6. It was the FIRST IN THE PROGRESSION: 1. Stormy hush money 2. Welcoming Russian interference efforts/obstructing exposure 3. Ukraine phone call/quid pro quo 4. Jan. 6 It’s the same crime getting refined each time

I think is is correct. For those who have disparaged the prosecutions, they have been important to deter some from participating in political violence.

One of the many insane things MTG has believed is that Hillary Clinton killed a kid, skinned the kid, and wore their skin as a face mask. It's called the Frazzledrip conspiracy theory. Stahl didn't ask about that or multiple other things I documented here:

Or stahl could have pushed back with one name Dennis Hastert Hastert was the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in history. After Democrats gained a majority in the House in 2007, Hastert resigned and began work as a lobbyist. In 2016, he was sentenced to 15 months… twitter.com/mehdirhasan/st… Show more

As I recount in #Strongmen, turning the public against media, judges, prosecutors and investigators who can expose his corruption is a strongman specialty. They start grooming followers to accept these narratives while they are still candidates. It is their insurance policy.

If our democracy is being "tested," it's largely because Republicans are casting the entire process as inherently illegitimate in advance. Media accounts of the "test" we face that don't centralize this end up erasing GOP agency from the equation: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/

It's so hilarious that a real American political tendency is "person who thinks their $500k a year is a tight budget but also thinks poor people live high on the hog off $1000 for several years"
