Trump is divisive because he exposes how left/uniparty the GOP and republicans/neocon really are; and that really pisses them off.
Trump is divisive because he exposes how bad the swamp is; and that really pisses them off.
Trump is divisive because he exposes how insane the leftists really are; and that really pisses them off.
Trump is divisive because he exposes how the media is a lefitist mouthpiece; and that really pisses them off.
Trump is divisive because he exposes how the uniparty are warmongers; and that really pisses them off.

Meanwhile he's polling at 70% in a pool full of non-divisive rinos...

It will indeed be interesting to see how the prosecution and the defense parry off of one another in the forthcoming trial. Until then, it's going to be a lot of motions for this, and motions to suppress that, and motions to discover such and such... And all the while, leftie bloggers are going to be shouting "See, I told you, there's no possible way that..." while their counterparts on the right are shouting "See, I told you, there's no possible way that..."


So, an oldie but a goodie:

CNN just keeps on digging:



As someone with experience working with multiple news organizations, this is what it looks like when a network has zero editorial coordination.

I woke up, did a Windows update, and found a juneteenth flag in my search box. Deleting it took a few anger-filled minutes. Force-fed politics. Yay.

{whoosh}

That's the sound of the deadline for the Biden administration to de-classify its intelligence relating to the origins of COVID-19.

There are, of course, a number of possible explanations for this failure.

I'll opt to briefly shift the meta to "Current Events" for the moment. This guy does a decent job articulating my recent frustrations with the almost nefarious nature of "science" content that constantly gets pushed on YouTube. I'm not "old" by any means at 29 but I'm already becoming the "WELL BACK IN MY DAY" guy due to the way I have to talk about when science content was fun, and more importantly, useful. Took me a while to notice how bad it's gotten as I usually treat YouTube as something to fall asleep to, but yikes it's really gotten out of hand. At least I'm not the only one who noticed 😅
