Hi, @maggieNYT.

Why don’t you do your actual job, you shameless fucking hack, and maybe develop some original reporting from your access journalism buddies.
Haberman would NEVER do truly damning reporting on Jared and Ivanka because that would cut off her access.

So instead, she’ll write fawning bullshit about how amazing the air smells when you walk behind Ivanka in the hallway and how Jared has the nicest loafers ever.
And to add to the injury of her pandering incompetence, Haberman will launder propaganda from outlets like the NY Post - which her employer would never publish - because that PLEASES the White House.

A servile sellout. A gossip reporter given a plum role at her dad’s paper.
Let’s be very clear:

Maggie Haberman would not have her job at the times if it wasn’t for her father.

A hardworking, more qualified reporter would have gotten that job.

And we would have been all the better off for it.

For the next three weeks:

...no matter how kind a person you are

...no matter how much you hate confrontation

...no matter how uncomfortable it makes you to speak harshly

Find it within yourself *every single time* you see the media doing what it did in 2016.

1/
Democrats historically protest too little and too softly.

While Trump and Republicans “work the refs”; Dems quietly grumble.

Trump has managed to influence the coverage he gets by merely complaining loudly and incessantly without merit.

2/
These next three weeks are going to be a test.

How much has the media learned since 2016?

How vigorously and forcefully are we going to agitate against any repeat of those mistakes?

To my knowledge, Bill Barr hasn’t been seen in public since Trump was diagnosed with COVID contracted at an event Barr attended.

Barr reported that he repeatedly tested negative.

Now, in parallel, the two biggest pieces of propaganda Trump expected from Barr this month...

1/
...have both been quietly scuttled.

The first was the John Durham report on the Russia investigation.

The second was the investigation into the Obama Admin’s legal and entirely routine unmasking of names in intelligence reports.

2/
Thus far, it seems like the two big bangs Trump prodded Barr to engineer are dying not with a bang but with a whimper.

And Barr has been nowhere to be found as it has come out that he won’t be giving Mango Corleone what he demanded.

Someone chiding me about cursing makes me want to curse 10x as much.
Someone sent me a DM to let me know I had disappointed them but they would follow me a little while longer to see if I would “improve my language”.

Yeah, about that...
Seriously, the people on Twitter who believe their personal moral sensibilities are laws by which all must abide lest they disappoint are just the worst.

The worst.

A 6:00 am Sunday wake up for a little sunrise youth soccer. Beautiful morning.
Great game on a crisp fall morn.

Just enough time for a big breakfast and a wait to see if the boys made the tourney finals.
No such luck. Edged out on goal differential.

The two teams in the finals are the one my son’s team beat this morning and the one they played to a draw a man down yesterday.

Such is soccer.

Fun weekend tourney. Three days of great matches.

This story paints a picture that is just Narcissist 101.

Faced with a looming humiliation, they whirl around like lawn sprinklers spraying all manner of increasingly unhinged accusations, excuses and demands.

It’s a spectacle... but it isn’t some new low or some sudden deterioration.

It’s every bit as cyclical and predictable as the sunrise or the tides.

This is what narcissists do when failing. They spiral and flail and erupt.

2/
It’s a scene.

All there is to do though is stand back.

Watch with detachment as he rants and raves. The words are just vomited up without thought, strategy or plan.

He’ll forget he said half of them the second they leave his mouth.

Starting a little late but I'm going to follow along as Kamala Harris debates the obsequious, vacuous bag of old Sunday school clothes known as Mike Pence.

Let's go.
Naturally, my laptop just crashed, so bear with me as do a two-thumbed riff.

Anywho, first couple questions have rolled by.

As is his nature, Mike Pence is delivering smarmy crap as greasy as gooseshit through a tin horn.

The guy is more oily than a bag of mackerel.
Senator Harris is hammering away at Pence and the guy just smiles a creepy smile and lies through his teeth.

The irony is that his lies, no matter how smoothly delivered, have almost no import in this race.

*HE* has almost no import in this race.
