@jenpsaki.bsky.social just did a devastating rundown on the deliberate tanking of the Washington Post. Just one more nail in our media coffin. Only the most informed people are aware it, and most of its implications. Spoiler: that isn’t most voters.

15 years ago Trump crushing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, forcing its dissolution, would have been in the news for a week. Today, it gets a handful of mentions—if you follow any quality sources. #WASF

i am assuming #WASF means we are so fucked.
i saw it in this post for the first time:

Carl Sagan called it over 30 years ago. And the saddest thing is that too many under 30 don’t even know what the fuck he was talking about. For the very reasons he was talking about. #WASF

When Trump took over the statistics producers, did anyone expect anything but this? I knew the bullshit would come in barrels. It will soon be a gusher. #WASF

This article starts out with familiar stuff, but then, bang! Welcome to Trump world! #WASF.
▶ When Trump wasn’t busy falling asleep in front of the cameras, he spent his first year in office struggling to form coherent thoughts.

Reboosting this. It was true last week. True this week. Trump could propose the MAGAts all commit suicide and they would go home or comply.
Susan Collins would remain concerned though.

Not only is the secretary a dangerous doofus, none of these dopes can keep their mouths shut.

Well, congratulations, America. You have put a dangerously incompetent Christian fanatic in charge of the largest military in the world. Republicans can never again claim they care about national security with a straight face. #WASF.

Going clear off the rails is one thing. Pulling up the rails as you go is a whole other thing. But that’s where we are.

@Nonya_Bidniss @otownKim Exactly. The American people just acquitted/pardoned him of all crimes. He has been anointed king. #wasf

.@MarcoRubio will be the dumbest Secretary of State in my lifetime. I’m sure he’ll do his best to shorten it. And he’s the best of the Trump appointments. Congratulations, Bannon bros, you’re going to end the U.S. government as we knew it. And then what, dimwits?

Not a believer in polls, but if this is anywhere in the ballpark, we are fucked #WASF

My hunch is that the consequence of the bullshit the House GOP caucus is engaging in is about to prove how inconsequential they (and their institution) actually are.
Of course they won’t see it because of their insular view, AND most on the outside won’t pay attention in any way that matters.

No more “feedback” instead “feedforward.” Lordy we are doomed. #WASF

Here’s the money quote from this Pew Poll
“Roughly three-quarters of the public (76%) say they have little or no confidence in the wisdom of the American people in making political decisions, up from 62% in 2021.”
So, yeah we’re pretty much screwed.
