Eyes on who stands to gain from this destruction.

He was a proto-attack dog as DC Atty Gen. He was like Wile E Coyote as he relentlessly pursued Marion Barry. Interestingly it was Barry’s hubris that got him, not De Genova.

He was brainwashed before the existence of Fox News.

O, this reminds me of the time someone bought rum cake into work that we (unknowingly) consumed first thing in the morning with coffee. That was a good day that accidentally resulting in team building.

Gonna be a greater challenge, as networks like CBS and channels like CNN and local TV station ownership have been taken over by the same ilk as Fox News.

Trump backs him because he is a part of the same plan.

The U.S. must ensure that any ceasefire agreement includes Lebanon. Netanyahu is brutally bombing Beirut, killing civilians, and destroying critical infrastructure.

This regional war must end now.

You think a message was relayed during that visit, Orban as the conduit?

Republican Congress & Senate folk need to voice opposition, real concern now. Rhetorical stop him or come back into session today to object. There isn't time left.

Much more than that needs to happen. Republicans in both houses of Congress need to seriously stand up and say, 'hold on now.' Stand up and stop the "shooting on 5th Ave" now. The president may be talking smack; recent history/actions show he's not.

There's reporting and journalism. I always understood journalism to encompass reportage, context, analysis – in other words, the ongoing bigger picture. News orgs' emphasis on just reportage are stunting understand of the true stakes involved.

Has that frame been so sullied that person doesn't want to keep it? 'Cause frames ain't cheap.

Racist poke at lineage?

Lee Morgan! The Rumproller and Search for the New Land for me.

Is anyone going to press him on why, what was his reasoning?

A marketplace that mostly sells bananas...

Isn’t/wasn’t there a Winding Stair book shop in Dublin, overlooking the Liffey?

So would broadcast journalists. Nary a peep from them either.

Is that not literally toxic masculinity?

Is it fair to say that the stupidity is due enough to news coverage that hasn't featured analysis of the dynamics of the US economy? Even the NPR news shows have been guilty of it.

Mark Wayne = hard to fathom

Years ago, while working at Warner Bros, I and the other employees received a piece of the Berlin Wall encased in lucite with the inscription: 'This is a remnant of the Berlin Wall, which stood as a barrier against the free exchange of ideas and culture. You helped bring this wall down.' Now, wow...

Certainly looks like it. I feel for the families that have to listen to every graphic detail.

Fellow Americans, this lack of class is happening in our name.

At work once, folly presaging itself.

For sure, from his point of view, but the NYTimes?

Wrong story! How about insisting on justification of ANY option to the American public. Why is opening this can of worms necessary?

The important thing is…put the ideas out there…

There is apparently no bottom to the rage-baiting/thirst trap barrel. Perhaps one can appreciate the creativity involved?
