Cancel culture ends with ‘Big Balls.’ The Case for Britney Spears-ing Kanye. Musk makes a bid to buy OpenAI. The phony frenzy over Politico. And much more.
1) An indefinite freeze on all US funding to Egypt and Jordan
2) All US bases in Qatar relocated to Bahrain, its arch-rival
3) A total sea and air blockade of Yemen
4) The US Navy forcing Iran's Navy to remain in port as the former interdicts all oil shipments from Kharg Island
Those steps would likely result in a direct command from Tehran to Hamas to release all hostages and decamp to some other country. The IDF might not have to fire another shot.
What do you call a president that appoints only loyalists regardless of qualifications, claims he for meritocracy but doesn't actually know what the word means, fires all departments and agencies that provide checks and balances to make sure presidents and those appointed don't abuse their power or over-reach, claim executive privilege and immunity, and remove and vilify and critique those who question him. Then hire a non-elected group of unqualified loyalists to covertly undermine the integrity and structure of a democracy, and have extreme conflicts of interest in order to supplant even more authority and power for those groups. Use gaslighting, and denial. Use code words like 'they are a DEI hire', to mean they are people of color, then to remove DEI from corporations and agencies to remove those people of color and claim it's.about meritocracy, but then hire unqualified loyalists.... mmm what is the word i'm looking for... starts with a D. Feels like this has happened in history before in Germany, I'm pretty sure.
Did a bit of investigation into Politico Pro. Basically a platform for lobbyists, consultants, policy think tanks, federal employees to network and influence each other. A marketplace to access policy development and promotion along with funding. Essentially a marketplace to obtain taxpayer funding and do deals with federal agencies. Another example of the self licking ice cream cone that the government has become. The list of who needs to be sweet talked or bribed to get a preferred policy approved or implemented. This is why the price is so eye popping. Politico is promising to connect you to the money spigot.
Vance says, "Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power." Key word, there: legitimate. It's the role of judges to judge whether the executive's actions are within the limits of legitimate power.
Coming up: "Unhand me, officer! You're not allowed to arrest a law-abiding citizen."
Way, way, way too many words from River musing about why Kanye needs a conservatorship. It’s just not front page news and doesn’t belong on a column called The Front Page.
What I enjoyed early in my relationship with TFP; nice little jabs of humor have speedily descended into unsupported opinions…like the “it’s called checks and balances.” Checks and balances when you agree with these unlawful decisions but judicial overreach when you don’t.
Stop trashing Philly! 50 people arrested? Out of about 150,000. To be clear, you can't even begin to compare that to the damage of the BLM protests in 2020 (where entire businesses and much more were destroyed).
Unfortunately, Trump's threats to Hamas will fall on deaf ears. If many civilians are killed because of their actions, so be it. It'll give them more to moan, cry , display fake outrage and spew crocodile tears. It hasn't stopped them in the past, and will not stop them now. They do not feel compelled to go by the rules, ever. They should not be treated like civilized human beings, because they aren't.
They don’t mind being killed because then they go to Paradise where they can get a comfy hotel room, nice food, a phone and spending money…oh, wait…that’s Britain.
As for USAID and Politico not being a scandal, I would suggest reading this article as a counter to that. I'm going for it was a scandal as I find it almost ridiculous to think that there were $8 mil in individual subscriptions to the newsite...
Please stop giving Kanye West any more press..Just editorially smother him
We’re all sick of his racist rants..Parading his rediculous wife/ fame wh…is not worthy of your publication
“Various government employees had purchased a product called Politico Pro and expensed it to their respective agencies.”
And that’s supposed to be OK? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit!
Does the Free Press have some money or love connection with Politico?
What all Hell breaking loose might look like:
1) An indefinite freeze on all US funding to Egypt and Jordan
2) All US bases in Qatar relocated to Bahrain, its arch-rival
3) A total sea and air blockade of Yemen
4) The US Navy forcing Iran's Navy to remain in port as the former interdicts all oil shipments from Kharg Island

Bravo

By all means keep up that narrative. The ash heap of history needs refilling and you and your ilk need a place to rest.
I for one could care less what happens to Kanye. He’s vile. He’s disgusting. He deserves whatever he gets.
I care even less than you do about Kanye, because I couldn't care less.

Kanye is a waste of biomass. Reporting on him is a waste of ink.

Uh-oh. Live footage. Knesset getting rowdy!

Couldn't understand a single word Kendrick Lamar said during the halftime show.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to put on some Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam.
