The White House bans the AP indefinitely over the use of ‘Gulf of Mexico’
-
Wtf? Substance use does not cause hate or Narcissistic behavior or any of that shit. That's not why they're evil.
-
the press secretary
-
Silly you. Trump holds the power to define facts and reality. It is literally impossible for him to lie. (Book of St. Donny, Chapter 4.12, probably)
-
Fake news.
-
Oh we are familiar
-
Muricans will finally realize what Freeze Peach was about
-
The press secretary is a woman...
-
No they don't. They just say that for legal reasons.
-
Yep, it's not Fox in general, that was only about Tucker's show.
-
This is a bit of the classic "both sides being the same" argument. The first article you linked even calls it out.
In the Fox case, Carlson was presenting his own narrative, not even one extrapolating from known facts.
Maddow was like "hey this journalist is working for Putin and writing for OAN. OAN is Russian propaganda." When in reality, the journalist in question wrote for Sputnik News, which is affiliated with the Russian government. Granted it is a bit of a stretch to say all of OAN is Russian propaganda.
Carlson, on the other hand, just completely made up a story about Karen McDougal blackmailing Trump. A completely made up story.
So yeah, I wouldn't go saying both sides are the same here.
-
There is no "both sides" in for-profit news media. There's only corporations figuring out which the most profitable demographic for them is.
-
The same administration that was claiming that Europe is stifling the free speech. What hypocritics
-
I guess you have never watched a family member descend into meth abuse then.
Permanent personality changes such that trust is pointless, redemption is merely a faint hope, all motivations are underlaid with a new narcissistic set of delusions and denials.
Since I have watched this happen to three family members of distinct lineage and personality types, all of whom were pleasant and acceptably kind beforehand, my small sample size is nevertheless very convincing.
-
I am a recovering addict, genius. I have plenty of experience, speaking of myself as well as those around me, with meth and many other substances. Not every addict is like that.
-
That is what that means, yes.
-
Yeah, should have clarified, meth can cause narcissistic behaviour, not hate. Other substances, no. All the alcoholics and heroin etc. addicts that I know or am related to or have worked with, were not fundamentally changed in character or even personality by the addiction. But chronic meth use, yeah. Big difference.
-
the... remarkable... thing about this is the Trump administration probably thinks they're winning this.
-
Well…they kind of are. We are not seeing the kind of push and pull we saw last time trump was in office. We’re not really seeing the compounding buffoonery and constant chaos of an evil yet highly disorganized and stupid and largely solitary extremist right wing government.
We are seeing a largely accepted—if nothing else, ignores—well-funded, focused group of absolute death mongers who are powering this much larger boat with trump as the flag on top, but an elite crew of Chistofascists turning coal (yes, it’s a coal powered boat) into much more precise and damaging takeover of every single lever of power. While we all took four years to decompress, they were becoming a much more ruthless and serious fascist machine. They are primed to make some scary moves and they don’t have nearly the amount of big dollar pushback and spotlight on them. They are manipulating the spotlight to focus on flashy trump nonsense while some truly fiendish motherfuckers are doing everything they can to fuck things up christofascismo style.
Be very much more worried about things that aren’t the “gulf of America.”
-
Good. There's just about nothing useful that comes from the White House press brief. It's all propaganda as far as the eye can see.

Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin are using trump and vance to install their vision of techno-authoritarianism and it's darker than you could ever imagine.
Always use a VPN. Swallow your pride and buy a trump bible off amazon for your front entry area. It's gestapo repellant. Yes, I'm serious.
After the immigrants, they're going to round up people on SSRIs and have them work the fields as part of their "reparenting" sentence. RFK just put it on the table officially.
Keep your head down, blend in, and live to fight another day. This won't be sustainable, but it's going to be painful and ugly before the year's out.
Project 2025 aims to suspend habeus corpus and deploy the military domestically by June 30th. Yes, I'm serious.
