So, I know I keep saying that I'll drop out of the U.S. campus anti-Joe Biden protest movement debate. I jumped in since I worry so much about our climate crisis that anything that might help out the GOP is something to worry about.
I've seen now how small the anti-Biden movement actually is despite how loud they are I'm not so worried except that since I monitor what motivates voters in the USA the true tiny size of this crowd may belie their political danger.

Thanks, one thing that I want to try to make clear is that it's not so important what one's intentions are. What really matters is what the impact of your actions and words have.
I monitor #FauxNews so I know how much political hay they can make out of relatively minor faux pas made by people they can label as Democrats.

If I were wanting to get Joe Biden out of the way, there's no better plan I could have come up with than to set it up so that American college students are creating video clips for the rightwing #FauxNews outlets to promote this election year.
Media reports say Hunter Biden's attorneys have sent a letter to Fox News threatening an imminent lawsuit for allegedly defaming the president's son and unlawfully publishing “hacked” images.
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
#Conroy says #Trump violated the #GagOrder when on Truth Social, he quoted #FauxNews commentator #JesseWatters characterization of prospective jurors as “undercover liberal activists." Prosecutors flagged this as the most serious of the violations & Conroy now says it’s “very troubling."
Conroy points to the timing, last Wed evening. The next morning, Juror2 asked to be excused, upsetting Justice #Merchan. He complimented the #juror after excusing her, saying she would have done a good job. #law
"Your client manipulated what was said & put it in quotes," Merchan said. Blanche agreed that it wasn’t a true repost, but argued that it still wasn’t clear that it violated the #GagOrder. [sure]
Merchan wanted to conclude at that point, but Blanche continued arguing, “This gag order we are trying to comply w/it,” he said.
A #juror was quickly dismissed at the start. She was among the 7 already selected, she said she was very worried that despite the fact the court ruled to keep jurors’ name secret, she would still be exposed & targeted.
More about the question of whether #Trump violated his #GagOrder by posting a quote from #FoxNews' #JesseWatters, Trump didn’t “repost” Watters, he wrote out his own post referencing Watters’s false characterization of prospective jurors.
I need to know which library is this and if they are hiring because mine does not have drugs and hookers. We just have books, media, online resources, and professional librarians to help folks.
It boggles my mind that #FAUXNEWS is running headlines like this 💔🧠😝
And that #KKKRISTIANS who hated on Harry Potter for being full of witches turn around and gobble numerology #wtaf
This #Episcopalian knows they are part of my Body somehow, but if my eyes don't understand the purpose of my anus, I figger I can be at a loss to describe the function of Evangelicals
During remarks this week, #Trump said he wanted to “pay tribute” to a person he very much respected.
Trump thanked #TomHoman, who served as acting director of #ICE during Trump’s admin [Trump loved “acting” posts bc they aren’t subject to congressional confirmation] & has since been a frequent commentator on #FauxNews.
#Trump’s open-armed association w/the group — & his intensifying focus on migrants & crime on the campaign trail — provide one of the clearest windows yet into a potential 2nd term & the hard-liners he might appoint to #DHS to enforce #immigration#law.
In campaign rallies & interviews w/ #Newsmax & #FauxNews, Trump has said he’d put #TomHoman & others back into a potential 2nd admin “to have great border security.”
I wonder if there are ex-pat KGB trained political technologists that are available to consult with the Democratic Party and/or MSNBC and the other networks besides Fox. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that #FauxNews already has one or more on staff.
Anyways, thinking about it in relation to polling over last few years. They have been wrong, but I've noticed Trump pushes them hard. I expect he has a KGB consultant or two on staff to help with campaign strategy.
@br00t4c I suspect Judge Cannon's not too worried if her reputation becomes irreparable. She can always become a valuable commentator on #FauxNews if she gets shit-canned.
lol Fox basically now holding a telethon to raise $464M bond for #Trump.
Hope billionaires and other Viewers Like You at least get a free tote bag
Via Eric Kleefeld:
Larry Kudlow personally asks Kevin O’Leary to loan Trump the $464 million bond he’ll need to appeal the New York civil fraud case, “in order to protect America’s name, think of it that way.”
O’Leary never answers that one, instead says the Supreme Court needs to intervene.
The clips, which included unaired, #antisemitic remarks by #KanyeWest, were published by Vice & MediaMatters
Tim Burke, a freelance journalist & #media consultant, has been charged w/ 14 federal #crimes, including #conspiracy. Burke was #arrested this morning….
#Speaker#MikeJohnson delivered a presentation at a weekend #GOP retreat that — although it was billed as a map to keeping the #House majority — took on a surprisingly #religious tone, acc/to 2 people in the room.
Johnson’s private remarks to a small group of #Republican lawmakers in Miami over the wknd alarmed both people…. Rather than outlining a specific plan to hold & grow the majority, …Johnson effectively delivered a sermon.
The #speaker contended that when one doesn’t have #God in their life, the govt or “state” will become their guide, referring back to Bible verses…. the approach fell flat among some in the room.
“I’m not at church,” one… said, describing Johnson’s presentation as “horrible.”
#Trump grotesquely likened a #civil#fraud judgment against him to #Navalny’s death. When asked by #FauxNews personality #LauraIngraham how he would come up w/ the $364 million in penalties, plus interest, in a #NewYork judge’s Feb 16 verdict, TFG replied: “It is a form of Navalny. It is a form of communism or fascism.”

I was just going to add that Hur is a Republican political operative that may have just lost his job for using his public position of trust to push his political narrative.
I'm hoping that the DOJ follows the Comey precedent and sends him out to #FauxNews where it seems he'd rather be working.
Don't for a second think that Putin's speech via #Tuckems wasn't timed to coincide with SCOTUS and report getting published.
#TuckerCarlson, the #conservative fmr #FauxNews host w/a history of airing bogus “news” claimed — falsely — that prominent US newspapers & television outlets had refused to interview #Putin since his invasion of #Ukraine, & were ignoring #Russia’s perspective. Carlson labeled Western media as “corrupt,” & accused them of lies on Tues in a video confirming that he was in Moscow for a Q & A w/the president.
I am providing free access through my subscription to this nice discussion on Joe Biden from the tumultuous period in his life during his second term as VPOTUS.
I must admit that I was angry with him for not running in 2016 since I didn't like Hilary Clinton and I knew that most Americans despised her after #FauxNews successful efforts to demonize her for the GOP. That was before I gained empathy over his loss of his son I must admit and he's made up for it in spades. https://wapo.st/3OqqCJK
@palin
No, I don't think #TuckerCarlson is getting the right amount of attention.
i/: In this sense, I plead guilty, too. Too shortly after his demise at #FauxNews, he disappeared from my radar.
