Huh. Interesting thread from an observer with a complicated history with the US government.
On the afternoon of Election Day, Hannity texted Meadows at 1:36 p.m. to ask about turnout in North Carolina. Two hours later, Meadows responded: “Stress every vote matters. Get out and vote. On radio.”“Yes sir,” Hannity replied. “On it. Any place in particular we need a push.”“Pennsylvania. NC AZ,” Meadows wrote, adding: “Nevada.”“Got it. Everywhere,” Hannity said.Are you just cranking out Aaron Rupar takes (taking things out of context and using misleading edits)? Is Hannity asking for directions to suppress stories, hide facts, or push lies in this context? No. He’s being lazy, and asking the obvious (what states are close) and what states Hannity should push turnout. After reading the CNN article, I’m not sure that this is the dunk that you, or CNN, thought it was.As for Cuomo, CNN, consistent with journalistic ethics, put a firewall between Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo. That firewall was promptly ignored. Not only ignored, but Chris Cuomo gave Andrew Cuomo advice on how to suppress the truth. I’ll let cardcrimson defend his own points, but we’ll see how that lawsuit shakes out. I predict there will be a settlement, because if the discovery starts leaking, it won’t be good for CNN.https://technofog.substack.com/p/durhams-latest-he-has-hundreds-of?s=w
How about e-mails between Fusion GPS / Hillary campaign and Slate, ABC News, the NY Times, and the Washington Post? Included are e-mails where reporters from the Post specifically say their sources in Russia think the Steele Dossier is full of false information… and yet they pushed it for three years.
The left’s ideology is not popular among the broader community (it is popular among the coastal elites and the media). Once people heard what was actually in the bill, it was overwhelmingly popular. I’m less sure about the move to strip Disney of its tax breaks, because I’m not sure how the law of unintended consequences plays out here.
Of course, this leads us to the unmasking of the LibsofTikTok account, a previously anonymous account that reposted TikToks by (mostly) teachers where they admit attempting to politicize students / teach gender ideology and sexuality to children. Taylor Lorenz, a “journalist” who two weeks ago went on MSNBC about “online bullying” and broke down in tears. She then threw MSNBC under the bus when people made fun of her crocodile tears, saying that the MSNBC clip being released resulted in her being cyberbullied. I use crocodile tears because of how she can dish it out, but can’t take ANY criticism (and she’s constantly been wrong). Anyhow, Taylor Lorenz outed an anonymous account, including knocking on the doors of relatives, and then the Washington Post lied about exposing personal information. Brian Stelter, professional narrative launderer, then interviewed her so she could get out her justifications.
NEW: Taylor Lorenz says it's "patently false" that her Libs of TikTok story linked to any personal info despite the WaPo admitting it had removed a link (the paper said it was just "professional" info).

How thin-skinned is she? She doesn’t allow the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to archive her tweets. Probably because then there’s no record of her being wrong.
Taylor Lorenz's Twitter feed has been "excluded" from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

As for DeSouza, he was convicted of illegal bundling / campaign contributions. Look closely at how the Democrats / elites protect their own when they finance their campaigns. Whether “2000 Mules” holds up, we’ll see. As far as I know, there haven’t been any prosecutions based on the evidence.
Read this for your answer.
We took away a bunch of people’s support structures and access to healthy coping measures and shamed them if they sought them out, barred them from in-person (or any) treatment, school, jobs, sports, gyms.🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/I1JjbAiXw2

Ms. Hammer is correct. Dr. Wen, who helped peddle masking, lockdowns, etc., is also correct, but has zero self-awareness of the why, which is plainly obvious. If you make the cure worse than the disease (especially true during Omicron), this is the result. We have yet to see the ramifications of how we treated children.
In this context, the Justice Department represents the client agency. Unless there is no legal basis / arguments to make, then the Department of Justice must represent the client agency’s legal (and political) position. There have been cases where the government abandoned a position after the administration changed, and the Court appointed counsel to represent the position. Blame HHS (Becerra, who first floated the idea of appealing) and the CDC.
Also, where’s the Department of Transportation in all this? Wouldn’t this be under their jurisdiction? Actually, I believe that this was part of the judge’s decision, but let’s be honest, Pete Buttigieg is a disaster as Secretary of Transportation.

Only 8% underwater in this tracking poll. Comeback!

Don’t forget they changed the formula and the basket of goods. Volcker was willing to play the villain. It worked, though, after the pain.
https://www.addictionpolicy.org/post/the-fentanyl-crisis-is-only-getting-worse
This is from just about when we went into COVID lockdown. US life expectancy reversed in 2018, and started trending down. COVID has accelerated this trend, but the real culprit is despair (and fentanyl). Suicide and fentanyl / opiod overdoses have increased for those under 55 by so much that it is lowering life expectancy. There will likely be a bump up after COVID is under control. I expect life expectancy to start trending downward again after that because 1) the diabetes / obesity wave; 2) if fentanyl / opiods continue flooding into the country, and cities keep pursuing ineffective homelessness policies, there will be more deaths; and 3) let’s keep passing neuroses and mental illness on our children.

The 2021 and 2022 numbers (so far) are astounding.
Teen numbers are really bad.

Volker did what he had to, given the circumstances. Our Fed has not over the last decade. Keeping rates artificially low helped the housing market and the stock market, but didn’t help the average American. The pressures have been building, and now that there is an exogenous shock (high oil prices again, plus supply chain from China and incompetence), it’s got no where to go but up.

Neo, pointing out how bad inflation is means you are lockstep with Putin.
Never forget that the Washington Post, showing a total lack of self-awareness, wrote an editorial saying that Elon Musk’s 10% stake in Twitter is a threat to free speech.
Gosh, what a massive coincidence that the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post thinks Elon Musk joining Twitter will be bad for Twitter. Shocked, shocked! https://t.co/GDaNG1NtfU

They even put “free speech” in scare quotes.
Largest shareholder/owner of:
Twitter: Elon Musk worth $260 billion
Washington Post: Jeff Bezos worth $180 billion
Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg worth $84 billion
Reuters: David Thomson worth $51 billion
Fox/WSJ: Rupert Murdoch worth $21 billionThis is what oligarchy looks like.

Reasonable minds differ, along partisan lines. Which tells me that the truth is somewhere in the middle, and likely not an insurrection, nor simply a riot. Certainly the cases tried so far seem to not back the “insurrection,” narrative, and the congressional kangaroo court (based on what they’ve subpoenaed and the lack of any real GOP participation) investigation is going nowhere. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are mental lightweights after jobs on MSNBC after they’re no longer in power. (Thank you to Adam Kinzinger for his service, but his Ukraine tweets, falling for hoax after hoax, show he’s unusually susceptible to propaganda). Liz Cheney just called a rocket attack on a rail station “genocide.” Quit throwing terms like that around for no reason.
Muh norms? From a party that wants to blow up the filibuster, pack the court, get rid of the Electoral College, federalize elections, use public health as a political weapon, delay the vaccine rollout for two months (killing more people) for political reasons, change all voting laws to eliminate voting standards to “protect democracy,” use the CDC to pass rent control / eviction moratoriums and OSHA to enact vaccine mandates, open our borders, and use the DOJ to silence parental rights groups? Not to mention a rolling foreign policy disaster predicated on weakness and “optics” rather than basic competence?
The Constitution was designed to prevent any one person or branch from aggregating too much power for a reason. Democrats don’t believe in this principle anymore.
Not to mention the most poisonous political dirty trick in history, exacerbating a foreign policy disaster dating back to at least 2014? A dirty trick that weaponized the intelligence community and federal law enforcement, in conjunction with the media to launder a political lie? That’s not a violation of norms? That gets a pass?
Oh, wait. Are you talking about talking about a stolen election?
Insurrectionist! https://t.co/E14YmuKv2O

Her lust for power, combined with using the levers of government (and a compliant media) to run a fraudulent political influence operation against the American people is okay? That’s not anti-democratic?
What did the Trump administration do that was ultimately found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court? Compare that to how many Biden administration policies that have already been found unconstitutional (OSHA vaccine mandate, CDC eviction moratorium, excluding white people from relief programs by race). You can buy into the media’s hatred of Trump as a person, but his administration did not willy-nilly violate the Constitution. The Biden administration has shown a willingness to KNOWINGLY violate the Constitution (OSHA and the CDC? Really?).
So think very carefully when you regurgitate the media narrative that Trump / the GOP is a danger to democracy. I’m not sure the “democracy” the Democrats are selling you is the same as what they’re envisioning.

Around 70% turnout. Also, an amusing quote about French elections.
