This will only be done right by AI.

They’re saying that while the leaking of trial balloons is nothing new (like a bus stopping at a bus stop), it is being done in a unprecedented manner - perhaps in kind or quantity.

That’s a cool story, and a well done tattoo, but… We all know that dog really has no clue what that lady did wrong. He’s just a bitey boy.

Yes.

Well, a problem. Because I don’t see the world in black and white and believe there is just one problem, unlike some idiots.

I agree there must have been a sizable chunk of voters who were unaware that Trump posed a threat to democracy itself, but I assume those people are just generally relatively uninformed. The way I knew he was a threat to democracy was through consuming mainstream media (and some podcasts).

By 2024 Trump had been on the political scene for almost a decade. This was post Jan 6. There was no excuse for putting him back in power. The voters sanewashed him to themselves. People are very adaptable. We are the same species who owned slaves, walked on the moon, tore out peoples hearts at the tops of pyramids, sit in boxes for 8 hours a day, and hunted giant fuzzy elephants to extinction by hand - and all of it is “normal.”

Even today, 37% of Americans think Trump is great!

You’re right, they look better as sixes. It’s just a goofy font.

What % of NYT readers voted for Trump? It has to be minuscule.

The election was so close, there are dozens of but-for causes that could have tipped the scale, but the NYT not being sufficiently alarmist about Trump (which is what that CNN article you linked claims - not that the paper was a proponent of Trump, as you say) probably wasn’t one of them.

It got turned into a religion long after his his death. He died a cult leader, taken out by the state.

Cult members. Jesus was a very successful cult leader in his time. He used the framework of an existing religion, and cast himself as a central figure in it. We’ve seen modern examples of this tactic.

WOMEN??? Bleh!

There are no ads on the iPad, so it’s probably a double din radio as you said.
