Why are we accepting reporting on tweets as a journalism?

Yeah MAGA reacted to the 60 minutes, but so what? One can find similar reactions on any topic, there’s nothing new that we learn by reading this. It just manufacturers outrage on the other side.

They were actually threatening to do it.

Finally some good news.

You hope he is just being clever and indirectly talking about legalizing cannabis, but you know that in reality he is just so incompetent that he has no idea what he is talking about.

First, watched? I have several dozen questions…

Saw != Watched, could have been for example seeing them going into a bedroom at a party. You don’t see the act, but you kind of know b what is happening.

Second…you didn’t immediately call the police to report a child was being raped?

She was 17, not 7, if you were in that situation would you call, especially that you don’t know the age?

Also the witnesses is pointing that she saw those two having sex, not that she knew her bio at the time.

Seems like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing.

Trump is a pseudopopulists, he fools people into thinking he is fighting for them while fighting for himself.

We need real populists, that go after people’s needs, not pseudopopulists like in GOP.

Yeah, there are games where side quests are just cookie cutter and all look the same and there are ones, where you won’t get full experience of the game unless you also do side quests and they can even affect game ending. Witcher 3 was such experience for me. If I would just storm through main quest, ignoring side quests I don’t think the game would leave as much of a lasting impression as it did.

The far right populism is a pseudo populism. Real populists are (as name suggests) for the people.

Let’s not wrap it in some mysterious “big businesses” it is really oligarchs vs us, they take more and more of wealth making all of us poorer and then use media (which they control) to say it is because of minorities our lives are so shitty.

I highly recommend On Freedom book by Timothy Snyder which talks how we are being manipulated to go against our best interest.

I think everyone should read it and be aware as things won’t improve unless we start fighting back.

I think the biggest issue was actually with messaging. Democrats were still pretty much relying on MSM which almost no young people watch.

I think that beyond what Sanders says what left needs are young people, true populists (as opposed to pseudopopulists ones like MAGA has) with progressive messages.

Author gave many reasons I saw on social media, especially the top ones she mentioned like economy concerns or that she is a communist which are the opposite of reality.

She concentrated on what people are saying instead of why.

We are living in a world where huge part of population abandoned traditional news such as TV, newspapers and is getting their vote about the world via social media through memes and influencers.

The biggest problem with it is that this unlike traditional media is open to foreign interference. We had report of American bloggers being paid by Kremlin ridiculous amount of money, we have evidence of bots being used to persuade public opinion, astroturfing groups on Facebook and other social media that were traced to Russia.

And we still did nothing to stop it.

Half of America lives in a different reality. And it isn’t just America but those efforts are happening also in Europe and other Western countries.

Ryan is good explaining how military operates, how weapon works, but this is really about predicting what trump will do, and frankly this is much harder to do.

We talk about common sense, it is a non brainier, as helping Ukraine stop Russia is the most beneficial thing for the US and the West. As he pointed out, Ukraine losing likely will bring war to the rest of the Europe and Taiwan, but trump might not care.

What worries me is that so far trump never stood up against putin, he insulted many world leaders, but never did that to putin.

The reason likely is that he was almost bankrupt and putin help him get on his feet, he has a huge debt to him.

I also link to Anders Puck Nielsen https://youtu.be/gOwjmKMmkV4 he is generally more familiar with strategy and so far was on point in his comments (I also believe Ryan is watching him too). Again, we are trying to predict what trump will do, which is not as easy and his decisions seem to be more about what gives him immediate benefit.

The absolute worst scenario that could happen is that the NATO collapses. I hope that won’t happen.

The argument was that Russia has no chance against Poland, because how it is doing on Ukraine.

But it won’t be Russia vs Poland it will be Russia + Ukraine + (whatever else putin gets on the way).

He also won’t have any problem sending Ukrainians to die fighting with Poles.

You’re forgetting that if Russia takes Ukraine it can use their resources to continue fighting.

Nazis were weak when they attacked Czechoslovakia and then Poland.

She has to take current strategy, because people like you are not voting, so in order to win she has to rely on votes of people that you don’t agree with.

I still don’t get how we ignored our own constitution and allowed insurectionist to have a second chance.

WTF America?

I mean it’s early to tell, but so far it is reported that those were precise attacks towards military targets. So if that’s true, that would explain that attitude from ordinary Iranians.
