Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

1. It's not illegal (8th paragraph).
2. At worst, it appears that a few political operatives lied to reporters. (Not great, but not exactly unprecedented — and not a nearly 3,000-word story less than a week before the election.)
3. Republicans literally did this to Peltola (33rd paragraph)!

If one miner were to pull the canary out of its cage and stomped it, every other miner would have rightfully viewed that as an attempt to murder *them* and they would have immediately put a pickaxe through his skull

For starters, IMO there is a good case to treat the TikTok acquisition as void ab initio. Trump violated the strict letter of a statute for a year in order to arrange its sale to a regime-aligned oligarch

Many male members of the media are likely complicit. As @moiradonegan.bsky.social rightly observes, many men rape, few think it's a big deal. Some of them are journalists & editors; it's not really in their interests to make rape a big deal by giving it coverage.

So a few folks are seeing this as a character weakness specific to Americans, but what the Brazilians are also saying is how much collective effort went into unlearning this behaviour!

I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!
