weird how a speaker at a major conservative political conference calling for the end of democracy and the establishment of a theocratic authoritarian state is something i have to read about in goofy little niche websites and social media accounts because i can't find it in, like, the pages of a newspaper whose catchphrase is "Democracy Dies in Darkness."

Obama's pastor said "God damn America" and it was like a month-long news cycle that ended with him changing churches. Jack Posobeic says, at a political conference, at a PANEL HOSTED BY THE FORMER CHIEF STRATEGIST AND AIDE TO A MAN CURRENTLY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, that the coup attempt didn't go far enough and he wants to replace American democracy with a theocracy. and that's, like, fine. a curiosity. https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/02/23/jack-posobiec-cpac-remarks-democracy-cnc-vpx.cnn

hannu_ikonen,

@peter Jeremiah Wright was closer to 3 months & perpetuated in part by DWS & Lanny Davis as talking heads. There was a third talking head, Hilary something (not HRC), but I erased her existence from my brain.

@hannu_ikonen @peter I wonder if she's the same Hilary Rosen on RIAA fame. If so, that's quite an ethical scorecard 😫

Yes, the woman who sued schoolchildren and church pastors over mp3s.

@angiebaby @hannu_ikonen @peter Horrible people just keep on being horrible, I guess.

@grrrr_shark

OMG

Rosen was criticized in December 2017 for making two tweets calling several Georgetown Hoyas fans "anti-Semitic," singling one out as a "bigot" after she noticed a photograph of a fan wearing a bacon costume. After Rosen was told that the fan in question was known as "bacon man" and wore the costume because of his last name (Bakan, pronounced "bacon"), she apologized.

@ebooksyearn @peter snake for president

IMGoph,

@peter WaPo can’t report on that, you know the rules! Not until someone who used to be a Senior Vice President of Internal Social Media Communications at the DNC says “we should reconsider oligarchy somewhat” can they release a reporter to write a story about Both Sides.

@peter I notice that stating that 'democracy dies in darkness' doesn't contain any value judgements about democracy or darkness.

@peter that slogan is looking more like a promise than a warning

@guidostevens @peter Linking to an opinion column from a newspaper publisher that was UK-based until the 2010s isn't exactly disputing his point..

@peter maybe they can’t find the light so think it has died already?
