Wow you're telling me that Aaron Coleman, weeks after being arrested for domestic violence, got arrested for a DUI? But some very serious 'journalists' said he was a 'redemption' story and that he had apologized and changed his ways. Shocking.
Can't even remember all the allegations/arrests we're at now: Revenge porn, domestic batery, DUI, abusing his ex....I'm sure I missed half a dozen.
Lol never seen a politician (much less a nobody state rep) with a Wikipedia entry like this...
Glem has really shown his ass over the past several years, but this one just might have taken the cake. "Genuine, reformed."
'reformed, remorseful'- clearly for political and ideological ends (everyone else is unprincipled and partisan, except for me). Liberals just hate him bc he's a leftist.
"I don't think I got it wrong." Wonder if @ggreenwald thinks he still got it right? I'm sure he does since Glenn Greenwald has never gotten a single thing wrong in his life. Not once. Not ever.
Almost impressive to work 2 stories that you got completely, embarrassingly, shamefully wrong in 1 tweet. But good ol' Glem is not ordinary.
lmao
(everyone else is just doing this for partisan reasons, except me, the only one doing it based off principle. No,,,YOU!)

So my one goal was to figure out how to get to this biosphere place. Of course no one could tell me where to get the bus. I went to the tourist information place & of course it was shuttered. Asked a young security guy at the building next door and he was like "she left already."
Basically I needed to find the collectivo (unofficial) bus stop and either no one knew or no one could communicate it to me.
I'm determined to figure this out. Just walking all throughout the city And what do I see: Escuela de Ingles.
So I'm like, if anyone can tell me...
So I knock on the door and this lady comes out and I'm like "hablas Ingles" and she says "a little." Well, that was a lie. She was the receptionist. But she did her best to try to explain to me in Spanish. But it wasn't landing.
If you follow Nate, you'll notice how in the rare times he comments on anything Trump does, it's done completely dispassionately; 'yes, Donald Trump seems to be covering up a report implicating himself with a notorious pedophile, but I doubt this will matter much."
Whereas with Biden, every time there was a sniff of a story or he flubbed a word, Nate was on it in minutes with something like, "Jesus Christ. Get this fucking dementia patient off stage. The Democrats will never be able to live this shame down!"
People ask, 'how could voters believe Dems have positions that they don't actually believe?' Well it's because the GOP bombarded them with lies about Dems and there's just not a great answer for such weaponized shamelessness. Truth just does not work.
The GOP (and its wealthy financial backers) have basically weaponized disinformation/lies to a completely unprecedent degree. And with the rise of technology are able to pump it out completely unchallenged (especially since social media outlets have completely given up).
So the NYT politics guys did a Reddit AMA several days ago. This was the top upvoted post. And then the extremely predictable (point proving) response.
And the predictably smug/condescending follow-up
Needless to say, they were heavily down-voted and deluged with (acurate) negative comments like these
