Very true. Who wants to push Trump out and deal with Vance! There is a global backlash against these characters involving people like Carney who are just a lot smarter than they are. Mass protest in Albania over Kushner plans to build a huge resort in a protected area. Big pushback underway!

Bannon says that Trump has no intention of resigning as President...
The mid-term elections are ultimately for the soul of our government and our freedom. 2028 will be performative.
Republicans keep bragging about owning the Liberals when they wake up from their stupor, and they will eventually, they will realize "they came for me" and now own me.
How free do you feel in the current economy? How libertarian do you feel right now? This is not happening because of a natural disaster, global pandemic, or systemic economic event. The economic constipation you are experiencing was wrought by one person, Trump. This is intended. You get millions, billions of people under financial stress you can maneuver them however you like, demand allegiance, whatever.
it never ceases to amaze me how well this schtick works
Let’s be honest about Bari Weiss, because she will not be honest about herself.
She built a brand on a single, lucrative pose: the brave iconoclast, the heterodox truth-teller, hounded out of the priggish New York Times by the woke libtard mob, off to found a plucky little independent shop where Real Journalism could breathe free.
....
The independent-journalist costume was the entire point. It gave the demolition a vaguely principled, anti-woke face. It let the wrecking crew swing the ball while telling the world they were merely modernizing. She thinks she has been handed the keys to a great American institution. She has been handed the matches and told where to stand.
------
The hatred of the press in this country runs on two floors, and you have to understand both, or you understand nothing.
The ground floor is for the rubes. The media are libtard socialist shills who hate America. It’s loud, it’s cheap, it fills arenas, it moves merch. It’s been a part of the GOP’s messaging since 1960. It is designed to make sure that when a real reporter lands a real story, half the country has already been inoculated against believing it. That floor is an endless circus of “J’accuse, liberals!” And the circus is the point…it keeps the crowd looking up at the high wire while the real work happens in the basement.
The basement is where the actual agenda lives, and it has nothing to do with bias and everything to do with accountability. 60 Minutes did not threaten anyone because it leaned left. It threatened people because it knocked on doors that powerful men wanted left shut. Because a producer with a camera and a sixteen-minute slot could end a CEO, expose a defense-contract fraud, surface a cover-up, make a senator sweat.

We should recognize that biology will decide for Trump and it may be closer than he will ever admit. That holds true for each of us.
No Bari. You have become one. We fully acknowledge your projection here.
Why a screenshot of a headline and not a link to the article? I think I know why.
It's an old article. Her writing at the Times was generally pretty abysmal. She gave Thomas Chatterton-Williams a run for the money.
Why The New York Times Is Wholly Responsible for Bari Weiss’s Rise
She was at The Wall Street Journal and should have spent her career there. But the Times decided she was … interesting. Why do liberals do this?

Everyone is up in arms, and rightly so, about what Bari Weiss is doing to CBS News in general and 60 Minutes in particular. The firing of Scott Pelley will reverberate in American journalism history as a symbolic execution of the single most groundbreaking and successful news program in the annals of U.S. broadcast television. Two of the program’s other prominent on-air correspondents were fired, as well, and we’ve seen countless news stories this week about the chaos and turmoil that have resulted. Three of the show’s remaining correspondents—Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl, and Jon Wertheim—reportedly huddled this week to discuss their next move; Stahl is currently out of contract.
This is a tempestuous time at one of the nation’s most staid journalistic institutions. But let’s back up a minute to appreciate how we got here. How did someone like Weiss, with no broadcast news experience, get put in charge of the network with the longest and proudest news tradition in the country? Well, we know the answer to that question. David Ellison, head of Paramount (which owned CBS), hired her last October, three months after the Trump administration approved the takeover of Paramount by Ellison’s company, Skydance. Before that, of course, Weiss had started up the very successful Free Press newsletter, devoted mainly to attacking left-wing wokery and cancel culture for dedicated subscribers.

Trump Storms Out of ‘Meet the Press’ Interview After Being Grilled on Claims of Rigged Election
When Kristen Welker asked him for evidence, the president replied: "Listen to me: There's tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election, and it's happening again right now in California."

i can't wait to watch her be turned into a hero for being such a brave truth teller in defense of freeze peach
I love how it is "happening again right now in California", but somehow not in all the GOP states that are doing the same thing. In fact, right now, the GOP has rigged more districts than the Dems. That's okay, though, the GOP racism is about fairness.if they would stop being so mean and unfair to him, he wouldn't have to treat them like this

This is an interesting take.
I especially appreciate his demonstrating that even in the Founding Era, the press were savagely biased.
