Great thread! Thank you for posting it.
Though I auto-replace every mention of “Dems suck at messaging” with “the corporate media wouldn’t cover Dems announcing the development of cold fusion.” Content and meaning matter, and it’s the media’s fucking job to convey content and meaning to their audience. Meanwhile, they breathlessly cover every contentless bullshit uttering of a proven and convicted liar and his cronies.
Saying “Dems suck at messaging” reverses victim and abuser.

Exactly. All one has to do to understand that is look at how little attention corporate media paid to Biden Administration initiatives that were benefiting ordinary people, versus say, the daily bleatings of the previous president (who fucking lost in 2020!).

In all seriousness I hope no one (at least not from the WHCA) goes to the correspondents’ dinner. (Maybe I’m already late on the news) Let the caudal caudillo sit there & eat his plate in humorless silence.

I don’t think he’s attended since Seth Meyers and Barrack Obama made fun of him.

That makes sense - & so it makes even less sense to cancel Amber Ruffin if the thin-skinned gonif won’t even be there.

Agreed. It’s plain cowardice.

Since Trump took office it’s against the law to hire black women in Washington…. Especially queer black women.

The press complaining about being removed from the White House press pool needs to be considered in this light. If you backdown like this - what were you going to do there of any value anyway?

Long a boogeyman of the political right, George Soros, the nonagenarian financier, has been a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin among other left-leaning candidates and causes throughout the nation. In this cycle, he’s donated $2 million to the state party, although his Democracy PAC is not among the outside groups contributing to Crawford.
That’s come as his political contributions have declined somewhat overall, at least by megadonor standards. According to OpenSecrets, he was not among the top 100 political donors last year, although some of his nonprofits disbursed funds to other groups. Two years before, he was the country’s top political donor.
ETA: They’re going to keep claiming Soros is behind every Democrat even after he’s dead.
