The Free Press goes live from the RNC with 350,000. Behind the Secret Service failure. Explaining the classified documents case. Assassination tattoos. And much more.
As a Ukrainian, one of the article mentioned that 44% of Ukrainians want a peace talk - that is false. Everyone knows, as with Chechnya back in 1990s, russia needs a break for sometime to rebuild their destroyed army. They need time to regroup, work on their mistake and in few years take all Ukraine and some other parts of Europe back.
We understand that war will end with a peace talk eventually; however, this is not the time yet.
This both sides-ism has got to stop. One side calls Trump and existential threat, the other puts their middle finger in the air.
Even the citation of Trumps use of the term "bloodbath" is disingenuous at best. The context of him using that term--was in what was going to happen to the car industry. It had nothing to do with Joe being a threat to the world nor remotely an incitement to violence.
Can you not see that?
8 years of relentless Pavlovian mind training to upchuck "orange man is a threat" and this article implying that "FJB" is equal incitement to violence is verging on a case study in cognitive dissonance at this point.
Forget all the politicking. I’m just so gosh darned proud of The Free Press (gotta buy a sweatshirt or socks one of these days). I have been a subscriber since Bari resigned from the New York Times, and it has been a thoughtful and delightful journey (thank you, Nellie, for TGIF, and I hope you have had your baby boy by now. As my husband said, when I was pregnant with my boy—like you, my first was a very independent girl—“little boys really, really love their mommies.” It’s the best, and I am so excited you’re reporting from the RNC. I expect the same from the DNC, though possibly with riot gear.
After January 6, I was a never Trumper. He really pissed me off. But as I’ve watched the Biden administration and their ineptness, I’m more concerned with them getting back in the office than Trump. The Democratic Party is moving in a way that I just completely disagree with what I think is best. Trump has my vote.
Oh great, another eloquent Free Press contributor with his yarmulke screwed on too tight.
To think after we all see that continous name calling by the Dems/Left that Trump is a nazi, racist, threat to democracy, existential threat to America, etc etc and needs to be put in the "bullseye" and yet place most of the blame for our division at Trumps feet??
This is something I'd expect to see coming from some MSNBC broadcast.
Yes, the Dem's dog whistles about Trump go too far but they don't compare to Trump's out and out calls for violence.
Or have you forgotten "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. "Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."
The difference is that none of Trump's supporters have actually tried to act on it, because they know it's just Trump being Trump. They take him seriously, not literally, as a TFP contributor famously said.
So, don't believe what he said, there is a hidden meaning that Trump supporters understand. I think that hidden meaning might have been misinterpreted by Trump supporters on January 6th.
J.D. Vance: Born in poverty, to a drug addicted mother he graduated high school & became a combat Marine. He then graduated from Ohio State followed by a law degree, magna cum, from Yale. One might consider that the great American dream come to fruition. What he lacks is political experience. However, the present occupant of the White House has decades of political savvy & is at best mediocre. So, whom would you prefer, Giggles or Vance?
As for the assassination attempt & the Secret Service, perhaps the following equation is at play. DEI-Meritocracy=Mediocracy!
Vance did not exactly call Trump "America's Hitler." He said he "went back and forth" between thinking that or the alternative, that Trump was a "cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad." It wasn't a flattering statement in any light, but it was not an unconditional labeling of Trump as "America's Hitler."
I enjoyed this until the asymmetrical lean began when it was said, “When you denounce other groups as both unimportant and as threatening, that is the kind of dehumanization that's particularly likely to lead to political violence. And he does that over and over with particular groups, immigrants, women, and so on.”
The left has done just as much of this if not more and much earlier before Trump was even running president. This is not to say either side should engage in schoolyard name calling but to lay all this at the feet of Trump, you begin to join the cacophony of flame fanning which you so well described.
“When you denounce other groups as both unimportant and as threatening, that is the kind of dehumanization that's particularly likely to lead to political violence."
I thought the statement was about Hillary and her "deplorables" comment.
President Biden "lowers the temperature" by claiming that Trump is a threat to democracy.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Martin reports..."that Nancy Pelosi, convinced that Biden will lose, has been “working the phones” since the debate looking for a 'way to ease him off the ticket.' "
So former Speaker Pelosi endeavors to undermine a primary candidate duly elected by the people so that a few Elites(?) can choose a candidate because they know best. Now, who is a threat to democracy? Democrat gaslighters that's who.
1) that is wahat a good War Photographer does: hurry to the sound of the guns and seek to get to the schwerpunkt before the tip of the spear. Well done that man.
2) The Democrat insider remains an enemy combatant. The NYT remains kindling.
3)Amaze balls: The Democratic Party beats out NBC/MSM as most completely c**t. I don't know that I believe that!
NB: Post an archive, and not a direct link: very few of us have or want access to really degenerate news sources. We certainly don't want to pay folk who laud pedophilia; genital mutilation; and other child abuse; or want to kill Jews.
4) Do I give a flying duck for what the old bag wants? No. Mολὼν λαβέ!🇺🇸 Sinistra Delenda Est!
5) If you have to ask, you are mentally challenged and shouldn't be out on your own.
6) NB: Post an archive and not a direct link. I've no idea whether the WSJ is a reputable news source or not. Until I can verify it is, I'm not going to pay to access it. I'm probably not going to pay for it even then: it'll probably not be worth the very few tines I might want to access it in the 1st place.
7) The comments over there are a toxic shitshow of delusional Marxists; Cutural Marxist; Wokista; Self Hating Americans; and American traitors. It is good they out themselves for when we are cleanibng house come January. Mολὼν λαβέ!🇺🇸 Sinistra Delenda Est!
8) I'm glad they are coming to their senses.
9) Come and have a go if you think your hard enough!
10) I HATE cRAP music but 50cents gets my two cents! Mολὼν λαβέ!🇺🇸 Sinistra Delenda Est!
Rupa Subramanya: Nowt wrong with the SS that sacking diversity hire Cheatle and everyone hired on her un-watch wouldn't put right.
Jed Rubenfeld: The SCOTUS ruling on Watergate was (Probably unwitingly) part of a silent coup. Nixon might have been his own worst enemy; but arguably the USA hasn't had a legal government since Nixon was arguably illegally removed from office.
Eli Lake: Trumps rhetoric has been nowhere as irresponsible as that of the Left/Dimocrats/MSM. Trump has been an Edge Lord since before the Internet, nevermind before Internet Edge Lord became a thing. If you don't speak someone's language and you refuse to learn even the rudiments... Well, you have no standing to have an opinion, nevermind express it.
Morning Joe: Stop the Presses! Oily writes something completely sane and sensible! Excuse him five kicks to the crutch and 15 lashes of his sentence. :-) This is sarcastic hyperbole and metaphor exagerated for the lulz. Don't get out of your prams or chuck your pacifiers.
I've not read above the 'Ten Stories We Are Reading' fold yet. I'll reserve comment for later; but on the whole I think this is what an ACTUALLY SANE and ACTUALLY LIBERAL news source should look like. If this is kept up, there is hope for this clown show! Only time will tell. Mολὼν λαβέ!🇺🇸 Sinistra Delenda Est!
The Free Press clearly favors Trump/Vance for far-right Israel’s sake. Who cares what the implications for blacks, women, LGBTQ%+, Ukraine, NATO, and the Free World are, as long as Trump/Vance have far-right Israel’s back.
I think the implications for blacks, women, and LGBT might be the same as they were last time Trump was president, that being a robust economy with high employment and low inflation, affordable home prices and interest rates, tax policy that helps entrepreneurs, as well as national and border security which helps ALL Americans regardless of identity labels. Maybe these groups are catching on to the Democratic con and refuse to be played anymore.
What TFP, and anyone else with sense, can no longer continue to do is defend the obvious incompetence of the Biden administration. They've tried and failed.
Dear Fred...you have done the impossible...proving once and for all that TFP is the only media outlet capable of goring both side oxes equally...thank you...g.
What TFP, and anyone else with sense, can no longer continue to do is defend the obvious incompetence of the Biden administration. They've tried and failed.
TFP is a business just like every other business selling whatever they sell. In order to generate more sales they need to appeal to more people. Don't know if their efforts at 'fair reporting' are out of true conviction or money. The liberal commitment to insanity has become a losers effort.
I thought the special counsel statute referenced was passed by congress but had a sunset clause and is no longer the law? Therefore Jack Smith is unique because he is not been approved by congress and is not a government employee. So a citizen can just be appointed with no oversight? I don’t think Jeb gives this enough potential to actually be the correct ruling.
So what Biden was trying to say in the Holt interview was that he was not calling for Trump to be shot with a rifle, but shot with a bow and arrow?

In the good news category, people who post that they wished Trump had been killed are getting fired from their jobs. Payback, as they say, is a b&tch.

Nice little bit of Jew hating there. You know this site is run by one.

You see this is why our country is in trouble. The constant back and forth of who is more violent. They tried to kill the man. So just stop ‼️
"They?" Who comprises "they"? I thought it was a lone gunman.
For now it appears that way.

She wants her nephew Newsom.

That photographer didn’t have time to run anywhere. He was just firing the shutter. Lucky capture.
Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie is a first class jerk. No surprise4 that the comments to his stupid rant are all focused on Orange Man Bad.
We know who and what Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie is and it is not a good look, Hamish.

Yes we know Fred. Trump/Vance are going to destroy everyone's rights. So ridiculous.

You are clueless!
Black Americans, female Americans all thrived under Trumps policies
Unemployment was record low (until unnecessary lockdowns)
Can you name a human right that anyone lost under his policies?
Best post today thanks Kathleen!
Well, there is the right to kill unborn humans.
