cheetah7071 posted:Oh I was referring to the article which didn't show up in the quote, where Ryan all but says "now that I am no longer speaker of the house and am a board member of fox, I am finally able to pursue my political agenda" Yeah, I mean it's pretty loving gross that he's basically saying exactly that. The irony too is that he was probably correct in the sense of "my 7 figure do-nothing salary at Fox" won't be there if I rock the boat too much against Trump. If it's one thing the Trump administration has ripped wide open is exposing the mass groupthink involved in securing the grift bag.

Slugworth posted:Honestly, is there anything more badass than starting a club called the badass club and talking about how badass you are? The thing about being a badass in your current role is that you need to consider yourself a badass for past experiences and demand respect and reputation at your current job based only on those past experiences. Also, a rule of being badass is that you need to constantly reaffirm that others think that you're a badass because you're

RandomBlue posted:I don't know how you could've watched Trump's behavior this long and not assumed that's how he would act. He doubles/triples/quadruples down on EVERYTHING. Also anyone that has dealt with toddlers would have told you that it would happen. Let them get away with something once and they absolutely will try to do it again, but more brazenly.

Data Graham posted:Tangentially — I am still having considerable trouble coming to terms with the idea that the Mueller report came out and was carefully maneuvered into being a wet fart, and Trump's reaction was not "Phew, I got away with that by the skin of my teeth! Better be more careful with that kind of poo poo", but rather I AM INVINCIBLE, FULL STEAM AHEAD Anyone who says things in this vein, I'd recommend the Dollop podcast episodes on Trump. They go through his entire life and the overarching theme is that he's never faced an appropriate consequence for any of his actions. Ever.

You seem to be operating from the position that CNN is working a giant brain genius operation to cynically farm clicks, instead of this just being exactly what it looks like on its surface: the mainstream media manufacturing pushback against and minimization of nonwhite politicians. And if there's anything the Trump era has taught me, it's that everything is exactly what it looks like.

If you don't think that online news is anything other than massive click farming for profit, I don't even know where to begin to inform you. They spam out hundreds of stories many of which are not even entirely stories trying to find a nerve to hit so that they can generate interest whether good or bad in order to get page views in order to get advertisers in order to get money.

It’s both. It is both and it is exhausting and makes me want to snip the big internet cable for good sometimes. It’s white fragility and dogshit journalism for profit into this French dip sandwich except the au jus is lukewarm diarrhea.

I think there's a large (and easily discerned) difference between You Won't BELIEVE What This Congressional Politician Has To Say About Impeachment type articles purposed for maximum ad impressions, and that article we've been discussing which is a fawning puff piece and giant dog whistle for how these white women are more reasonable, more effective, and easier to work with than these darn loudmouths. Conflating the two is shallow cynicism employed to avoid serious engagement with the state of our national discourse.

Just lol if what happened is Putin told Trump it was really penniless Ukraine, a country literally being invaded by Russia, that was interfering in US elections, and Trump not only believed him, but was consequently trying to get Ukraine on his side against Biden.
