Remember when a media outlet falsely claimed that Alvin Bragg had dropped this case, and Bragg said it was ongoing, but the entire media went along with the lie, and then every bullshitter on Twitter bashed Bragg so they could make themselves look cool in comparison? Fun times.
These hordes of bullshitters in the media and pundit class were all claiming Pomerantz had said that Bragg had decided to let Trump off the hook, when Pomerantz never even said that. It was just flat out made up fake news. And it didn’t matter Bragg said the case was ongoing.
Everyone in the media was lying to you in order to generate outrage and boost ratings. Every leading voice on Twitter was lying to you so they could portray themselves as being superior to Bragg.
While we're waiting for the Trump verdict, let's go flip the House. The majority WILL be mainly decided by the "toss up" races, all of which will be very close.Donate, volunteer, and retweet these Democratic candidates and let's go win this:
MI-07 (Michigan), Democratic candidate Curtis Hertel
Here are the highly competitive 2024 House races that are rated "toss up" and will be decided by a point or two in either direction and will determine the House majority. Donate to them, sign up for their mailing lists, follow them on here, and retweet them (thread):
This is the part where everyone on TV and Twitter chases ratings and retweets by pretending Trump has a 99% or 100% chance of winning this Supreme Court ruling, when he really only has maybe a 30% chance. They know if he loses, they can just feed you some new defeatist outrage.
"But even if Trump loses, he'll still have won because things got delayed until now!"
"But even if we win 5-4, it'll still be a loss because it should have been 9-0!"
I say this with love: shut the fuck up.
A win is a win. Only people who WANT TO LOSE spin wins into losses.
As for all the doomsday hysteria being posted in the replies, as usual, none of it is even compatible with the facts.
If the majority justices want a swift ruling, there will be one.
If the majority of justices don't want this remanded, it won't be remanded.
MSNBC spent all that time pretending Trump would never go on trial. Now that Trump’s first criminal trial is starting, MSNBC is putting discredited prisoner Michael Avenatti on the air and letting him lie about the trial. MSNBC exists solely to bullshit you into staying tuned in.
The problem isn’t simply that MSNBC is corrupt. The problem is that the cable news format doesn’t work. There aren’t 24 hours of political news a day. Some days there aren’t 24 minutes. So in order to keep you tuned in and keep the lights on, they have to bullshit you.
And if you’re saying “that’s why I only watch these specific MSNBC hosts,” you don’t see any of them condemning Ari Melber’s Avenatti stunt, do you?
Besides, every MSNBC has at one point or another bullshitted you with some scary narrative they had to know wasn’t going anywhere.
I said there was a chance Trump might get lucky with the bond. So be it. This ruling isn’t going to save him from his overall downfall. For that matter he still might not be able to come up with the bond. He’s broke, senile, and his first criminal trial is in 3 weeks. He’s toast.
This is not “optimism.”
In spite of what some of you think, it’s not my job or my intent to “give you hope.”
I’m just trying to call it like it is.
Today was a rare win for Trump, but only an incremental one.
He’s still on a sharply downward trajectory overall. That’s a fact.
But today’s ruling is an excuse for the outrage addicts and panic addicts on our side to spend all day angrily ranting, while pretending that ranting is activism.
And it’s an excuse for the media and pundit class to milk these folks’ outrage addiction for ratings.
