I have smart children…I would always tell them, ndo drugs

Multiple?

Darcy reported that Rebecca Blumenstein, president of editorial for NBC News, opposed airing “Separated” before the election because executives want Trump to agree to another presidential debate hosted by the network.

However, Stephen Labaton, NBCUniversal head of communications, maintained to Darcy that “the debate had nothing to do with the scheduling of this programming.”

This story is making the rounds on a number of different outlets, and they all depend wholly on this one guy saying that Blumenstein said something, while Labaton said something different to that same guy. There’s a single person as a source here, the story is overstated.

Edit: Oh, I see - the headline on the article doesn’t match the title of this post. “…due to worries it will hurt Trump’s feelings” - was that your editorializing, or did they change the headline?

This appears to be overstated. The “offend Donald Trump” comment comes from Oliver Darcy, who left CNN in August 2024 to focus full time on his email newsletter and website, Status, which focuses on news about the media industry.

This is Oliver Darcy’s take, and no one else’s.

Imagine that.

I would have dinner with Donald Trump. So that I could lunge across the table at him, hopefully before I am overcome by the odor.

Don’t forget that men can go to Planned Parenthood for a wide variety of services, too!

Asked over the weekend if a second Trump administration would defund the health care organization, Vance said, “On the question of defunding Planned Parenthood, look, I mean our view is we don’t think that taxpayers should fund late-term abortions. That has been a consistent view of the Trump campaign the first time around. It will remain a consistent view.”

Nobody is having an elective late-term abortion. Nobody is going to Planned Parenthood for late-term abortions.

Late-term abortions are exceedingly rare, and always come as the result of a crisis pregnancy which would result in far greater tragedy without the abortion.

All the racist stuff and culture war BS is a distraction.

It is absolutely not. One of the ways Germany was able to fund itself during WW2 was by displacing and murdering “undesirables,” then stealing their property. Eliminate people who don’t fit your view of “good citizen” because of their ethnicity and redistribute their wealth to those who remain.

I just figured out why it’s called National Socialism.

Actual direct link to the letter

Hey now, at least cancer will continue growing unchecked, sapping resources from healthy tissue, unless there’s serious intervention, and even then it might not go away … no, you’re right.

Trump is on the ballot in all fifty states because SCOTUS decided that states don’t get to apply 14A S3, even though 100% of the operation of federal elections is constitutionally granted to the states.

RCV would be great, most definitely. However:

“But the defect that prevents independent presidential candidates West and De la Cruz from appearing on Georgia’s ballot does not pertain to the number of signatures acquired; it is that West’s electors and De la Cruz’s electors filed no nomination petitions at all,” Justice Sarah Warren wrote.

There’s a process for ballot access, which includes the candidate’s electors filing paperwork. They didn’t. Counting votes for these two candidates’ would be allowing ballot access to a candidate who didn’t meet the prerequisites. This court ruling appears appropriate, based on information I have at hand.

He’d love it.

Just to be clear, only Republicans voted against this.

Inb4 “Why are they only talking about Republican no votes???”

This explains so much.

blue MAGA

Not a thing.

The irony of parent commenter proving their own comment wrong by just making shit up in that very comment.

Allow me to throw this wrench in the works:

Facts without context mean very little, and there will always be some bias in deciding what context is presented.

“Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?” Trump asked his rally attendees. “Actually, I should say don’t raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don’t want to see anybody get hurt. Please don’t raise your hand.”

Trump is fully aware that his supporters will engage in political violence, and that what he says (or refuses to say) has an impact on said violence. DoJ, take note for when he encourages another mob to engage in violence on his behalf and then acts like he wasn’t doing exactly that.

Edit: In case I wasn’t perfectly clear, this statement by Trump is admissible evidence that Trump knows that his speech is capable of encouraging violence, even something as otherwise harmless as “Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?”

What if I told you that “Christian” doesn’t automatically mean “good”?

And it would have been litigated already, at least a year ago, except for the GOP fuckery aiding the defense in their delay tactics.
