If this is not putting a ‘Bullseye’ on these people, then I don’t know what is…

These AI things are so interesting in that actual images are available for them to use but they dont do that and so at least one person comes out looking unrecognizable (Ben Rhodes).

Greenwald just did one of those Jubilee round tables engaging a bunch of MAGA voters and this was his take him from it

This was a debate during the last election season with loads of people arguing that Trump’s corruption and awfulness was already baked in so continuing to try to attack him for that was a waste of time. I called bullshit then knowing that the version lots of people had in their head of Trump was a complete fabrication. He is so awful that simply sharing facts about it sounds like tin foil hat shit to the uninformed (right, Ronnie?) and so too many in the Dem coalition accepted defeat on this without even trying to win that argument

Rhodes seems to have got that nickname due to him being critical of Netanyahu and being an advocate for a two state solution, is that were we are now, being labelled Hamas because of those positions?

Sounds like he understood netanyahu far better than any leader has in the known world, if anyone is a friend of Hamas then it’s Netanyahu, after all without Hamas he would be out of power.

Also he has a jewish mother so also quite offensive, but then this is Donald “The immigrant” Trump

Yeah it was a joke made by Obama’s original chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel due to Rhodes’ advocacy within the oval office for Palestinian rights. It was a joke made by a jew to another jew and the Trump right picked it up and ran with it to try to position him as a antisemite, ironically being used by people who are virulently antisemitic (but who maybe hate muslims more)

Oddly, I would cite Greenwald as one of the contributing factors in exactly that phenomenon.

Thirty Five federal judges, including renowned retired conservative Judge Luttig, just filed a motion in federal court in Florida asking the judge to REOPEN Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, arguing the court “was deceived” by the parties involved.

The explosive filing claims the rushed dismissal of the case was used to justify a secretive “settlement” that would direct $1.776 billion from the U.S. Treasury into a so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” controlled by Trump allies.

The judges argue the lawsuit itself may have been “collusive” and accuse the parties of committing a potential “fraud on the court” by concealing the settlement details while the judge was still examining whether there was even a legitimate case or controversy in the first place.

The filing states: “This court was deceived.”

The former judges are asking the court to void the dismissal, reopen the case, and investigate whether the judicial system was manipulated to funnel taxpayer money and shield Trump and affiliated entities from future federal claims.

When I saw the line up on that I thought, ‘nah’, so I checked it out and looks like it’s fucking real. This whole thing is one massive fever dream where the hallucinations manifest themselves into reality :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Well having watched MLS expect a number of games to go hours on weather delays.

I suppose this is me just posting something I agree with, but I thought he ended this interview on a good note and said the important bits.

“I got beef with the president, it"s makin’ rappers hesitant
Invited me to his house but I’m not chillin’ like a resident
Yes, 'cause I’m that type of man
Can’t make myself at home with the MAGA clan”

Was always one of my faves. Glad he’s still got Know How :heart:

Amazingly the construction of the UFC arena at the white house has started and this thing is going ahead

The people who blew their lid at the Obama defacing the property by converting a tennis court into a basketball court are oddly silent.
