Trump screaming lies at the media to change reality isn't working (yet). So the headlines just keep slumping back to the truth of the situation, I don't know how long this can go on for.

The whole world is suffering whiplash from his lying and incompetence. The rest of us knew it was coming.

When the dems eventually take power, the contents of the Epstein files may finally sink him. He will lose the protection of the presidency one day soon. I will continue to hope.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

The same applies to the NYT and WaPo.

Oh, so the Jesus picture gets a front page spread but the fact that trump posted a real video of a woman being beaten to death with a hammer three days before? ... nothing, literally...no mention.

I’ll just never believe that Donald Trump is more “disturbed” now than he was when he was attacking the Central Park five, E. Jean Carroll, Obama’s birth certificate or during Covid. The media can just decide to be honest about it whenever

How about the post of the poor woman being beaten to death with a hammer?? How has that just been ignored?!

The woman being murdered in the video Trump posted was an immigrant. Her name was Nilufar Yasmin. She was from Bangladesh. Trump is weaponizing her death against communities like hers. Outstanding reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for Migrant Insider. migrantinsider.com/p/her-name-w...

One neat trick to get away with posting snuff videos:- threaten nuclear annihilation of an entire civilization the week before and everything else seems like peanuts.

(It's not peanuts, I know, its fucking horrendous and he should be removed)

We should not move on from the President threatening to annihilate a civilization.

I'd like to think so, unfortunately it could just be that she's as cosmically selfish and incompetent as her husband.

It’s simple. I use husband, though we aren’t married. So I say ‘my husband’ and then whisper ‘but we’re not married’ saves confusion. Plus I like to shake hands with my left. People love me.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

And the headlines need to stop with the:-

'Trump Threatens ANNIHILATION' one second and then,

'Its OK Now, Hes Changed His Mind Nothing To See' literally hours later.

ITS NOT OK, one day he will press that button, remove him now while you can

Headline should be 'REMOVE THIS DERANGED MAN'

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.
