  1. I'm not too sure about the "United" part - more like two parallel worlds.

    This seems to me quite accurate - and predictive - as this was from 2024, at the beginning of #TrumpVirus Season 2.

    Prescient.

    This was, for most of our lives, a united country, in nominal ways, like sharing a love of #democracy #law, & " #justice for all" - Pre #TrumpVirus

    Now there's a $uper #cult with #media & $ to reverse #truth & #sanewash #insanity

    On the other side, those who accept #science and human rights.

  2. Far too many #journalists in the mainstream media in the USA take a certain tinpot wannabe dictator's logorrheic incontinence seriously, and then sanewash it before putting it into sensible black and white serif text.

    He's a rambling, dissembling, demented fool with the mentality and emotional development of a 5-year-old, but with less prefrontal cortex executive function.

    He sits there drooling and wandering off on tangents - sometimes literally - and you report on him like he's an actual subject of real news.

    For Pete's sake, this is a person who would spray-paint his own turds gold and tell you they're art.

    Any news organization owned by a company worth a hundred million bucks or more ought to either rebooted top to bottom, or burned to the ground.

  3. The orange #dementia patient is now #sundowning in the middle of the day.

    The U.S. bond market - also known as Treasury bills, T-bills, or government bonds - got decidedly shaky this week after a period of growing uncertainty. Primarily because US #debt is exploding and it is becoming clear to even the dumbest observers that things cannot continue the way they are.

    And the expression "If something can not go on forever, then it will stop" applies here, and what it means is the end of the US #dollar as the de-facto world reserve #currency.

    So the US #Treasury has been doing more and more drastic actions to try to prop up that bond market. #Bessent, the new head of the Fed, started trying to massage the "yield curve" by buying back long-term bonds with funds from selling more short-term #bonds, and it worked for a hot minute. Then things got shaky again the next day.

    I'll let the news reporters take it from here:

    > Trump was asked whether he had spoken with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
    > about "another type of intervention" after bond yields climbed back to multi-year highs.
    >
    > "The ultimate intervention is our military," Trump said. "And if we have to use that, we will."

    Dear USAnians: your demented president is now threatening to use the US military against ... the US #bond market?

    Your mainstream media should absolutely not be able to #sanewash this stupidity, but they probably will.

  4. And #journalism is totally complicit of the rise of #fascism in those conditions They entertain it, they play with it, they magnify it, the #sanewash it, every single day Every single hour At every single clik-bait/advertisement-bait #journalistic pseudo-comment about everyday events

  5. The harmful propaganda narrative “pivot” the “tone shift” is now 2nd order. Today NYT devotes 4 journalists & its front page to #sanewash the Trump/MAGA demolition of peace/order in US cities to discuss & reinforce “tone shift”. ICE/CBP still roving and terrorizing cities. bsky.app/profile/medi...

  6. Hey ChatGPT. Write a scathing story on Trump corruption, but in the #sanewash style of the #NYTimes. So, don't use the word "corruption" and frame the headline like it's about public reaction.

  7. It amazing how we, both left and right, #sanewash this clearly impaired president. The left thinks he’s an evil genius and the right thinks he’s the second coming. SMH

  8. This is a must-watch. Thank Dog for Jon Stewart. In it, he struggles with trying to #sanewash #LeonMuck's Nazi salute and states that the 6 richest men in America control all the news. That's not entirely true. There are still Indy Web sources like Mastodon and Indy news sources like @JonathanLarsen. So maybe the lesson here is to get off the corporate information teat and go Indy.

  9. About pointing and laughing at Hair Füror and the 4th Reich: I’ve gotten a fair amount of pushback and how serious the moment is, and so on. All true enough.

    If you don’t point and laugh, then you are #NORMALIZING him, just as the media does. If you don’t point out how none of this is rational, then you are helping to #SANEWASH him.

    This is what they want and expect. #Laughter is our weapon, remember MAGA doesn’t understand humor, they take themselves seriously.

  10. Apparenlty in the US, winning elections are all about who get the most senational media coverage and When #Kamla2024 was shiney and new and doing debates the media gave her a lot of attention, but now she's old news and doing boring campaigning and so the media is barely mentioning her. Meanwhile #Trump Worked a fake shift for less than an hour at a Mcdonalds and said that Hilter did good things. I can't remember the last memorable #harris2024 article I read. She's boring now because shes a functioning adult, while the press is goingout of of its way to #sanewash and sensationalize #TGF to the point that he sticks in people's minds way more.
  11. In an attention economy, what you pay attention to is profitable.

    #News articles you click on are perceived as profit-making, and so the #press will produce more of them.

    If you click on stories that #SaneWash Trump, there will be more stories #SaneWashing (or #BothSides -ing) Trump.

    If you click on stories that show Harris' hope and accomplishments, there will be more positive stories about #Harris.

    Be aware of what #journalism you're encouraging by what #media you click & share.

  12. How exactly are they going to #sanewash this? Because I just know they’re really going to try. #PresidentialDebate

  13. Trump: "I'm a different kind of person".

    #Truth

    Harris: "Talk about extreme!"

    Quite the show! A lot of humor here, unintentional.
    Harris' reaction: laughing /amused by the TrumpVirus #WordSalad #delusions / lies

    Crowd size, tariffs. Whew!
    Please #media, don't #sanewash

    And the #projection and #BrainSpurs are on full display....

    As Harris addresses #felonies and Sir StableGenius says that Harris "weaponized" government for which he "took a bullet to the head".

    Oooooh...

  14. Will national news organizations continue to #sanewash #Trump’s utterances after tonight’s media event?

    Will they follow the lead of independent voices like they did with Trent Lott in 2002? Or will they persist in demonstrating their widespread coherency bias?

  15. @Barbramon1 @StillIRise1963
    that's how I felt the first time
    This time, tracking TFGs decline & knowing it starts late makes me think we're going to watch that asshat decompensate LIVE where the #CorporateMedia can't #sanewash his word salad
    And he's up against a savvy prosecutor, not another old guy

  16. @knittingknots2
    Yes, but... he doesn't do concepts. Sometimes he demands definitions.
    Never does he "reason" & compose a response to a question.

    #Truth is irrelevant, he owns it (just ask)

    His sound bites will be the same if they worked before, but even more terrific. Fro "all the best words" to being "perfect", with terrific friends he'll be fine.

    Like he was with prosecutors the last 34 convictions?

    As big #media (like the NYT, as Lawrence O'D just highlighted) #SaneWash #BrainSpurs

  17. @crispius @Thumper1964 @JonChevreau

    Perhaps #CNN, the @washintonpost@news and other corporate media #sanewash #trump precisely because they believe he will lock them up if they don't.

  18. Trump just REPEATED his crazy lie that schools do #GenderChanging operations on kids.

    We must use this pattern against him.
    1) He makes crazy comment
    2) His surrogates & staff say "What he meant was.. "
    3) The media #sanewash the comment & leave out the crazy detail. LIKE THIS HEADLINE "Trump taps into culture war issues, seeks to energize base at Moms for Liberty event"

    When he doubles down on a crazy comment that's our cue to repeat it.
    VS the MSM's response "the base loves it."
