Nothing they love more than sniping at Dems/libs who even mildly criticize the press #circlethewagons
A big part of this is Democrats’ fault. They rarely criticize the press and even then not directly. Dem leaders largely are still stuck in this 70s mindset, thinking about reporters as aspiring to the Woodard/Bernstein ideal.
President Biden in particular is guilty of this. His deference to msm and bipartisanship are probably the two areas he and I part ways the most.

I was just about to note how weird dogs are and then Kal-El began furiously licking my forehead. The prosecution rests.
I have no privacy even when reading tweets
Other people: Oh I’ve trained my dog to do *all these wonderful things*

My dog: *literally walks all over me every day*

Me: “This is fine.”

But just look at him tho. It really is fine.

im introducing a friend to "it's a wonderful life" sometime soon and im not an evangelical but i assume this feeling i have is similar. have you heard the good word of bedford falls? the gospel of clarence? felt the rapture of zuzu's petals?
its going to take everything in me not to constantly be that person that says "watch this, this is the good part" at

- george and mary on the phone
- george and mary's honeymoon
-the high school dance
-when george goes running to the bridge
-literally every moment
i feel like the phone call scene is one of the most romantic things ever in a movie and im decidedly not a fan of the romance genre.

As most of you know, my dad, Lloyd "Gitsy" Willis passed away last month. I thought it might be interesting to go through some of his musical work here. TBH I'm not a music person and we didn't talk about it a ton, so a lot of this is new to me as well. Might be a long thread.
Dad's main instrument was the guitar and the Jamaica Gleaner - biggest newspaper in Jamaica - described him as a "genius guitar player" in their report on his death. He played w ppl like the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Sly & Robbie, John Denver, and Elton John allmusic.com/artist/lloyd-g…
Dad also composed music. His biggest hit, by far, was his work with the duo Chaka Demus & Pliers. Of the songs on their album the smash recording was "Murder She Wrote." At 1:19 in the video you can see Dad on guitar.

cuck! the old alex would have gone in front of the committee and exposed the bilderberger trilateral commission coverup involving wtc and the false flag operation that led to ww2. SAD
im one of those people who has followed jones since before he got big. its like i have alex jones on vinyl. back when he said both parties were part of a globalist puppet system creating one world government at the behest of the club of rome.

now he's just a boring republican.
alex jones just being a standard right winger is my personal version of dylan going electric.

it used to be about the music. it used to be about controlled demolitions and jet fuel not melting steel.

damn you alex jones.

last RT is the other part of the problem. dems dont speak out enough. and then when they do, a lot of it is just white noise. theyre just not very good at making things snappy. yes the media and its horserace obsession is a huge problem but otoh the party/left doesnt do enough.
itll be "we introduced an amendment in order to assure the legislation was bipartisan and deficit neutral" vs "we stopped bridges from collapsing and killing your family"
and yes, there are a few dems who can speak like normal people. they are the outliers.

ah good i havent cried enough as it is
the covid stuff the last season really took me out of the show. i know its supposed to reflect our reality but i would have preferred it just pretend that didnt happen. it is the one show where im like, "fine, emotionally manipulate me, its ok."
oh and folks should know that "this is us" confirms my thesis as to the centrality of cabins to white american life. the cabin on this show is the center of their whole life with their deceased father. the cabin is the rosetta stone. #whitepeoplehavecabins
