how about from the source?

https://nypost.com/2024/10/16/us-new...rom-interview/

...Baier, a veteran political journalist, compared the Harris campaign’s tactics to a football team “icing the kicker” before an important field goal attempt.

“So, we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. — this was the time they gave us, originally. We’re going to do 25 or 30 minutes,” the host explained.

“They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20 [minutes].’ So, it was already getting whittled down,” Baier added.

“And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 [p.m.].”

...

The “Special Report” host noted that Harris’ tardiness made it a challenge for his production team to get the interview out at the start of his 6 p.m. show.

“We were pushing the envelope,” Baier said.

“So, that’s how it started. And I could tell when we started talking that she was going to be tough, to, you know, redirect without me trying to interrupt,” he continued, referring to the Democratic nominee’s efforts to “filibuster” during the interview and not allow him to get a word in edgewise.

In his post-interview analysis, Baier also revealed that he had hoped to ask more questions, but several Harris campaign staffers were frantically signaling to him off-camera to end the interview because his time was up.

“I’m talking, like, four people waving their hands like it’s got to stop,” he said. “I had to dismount there at the end.”Baier noted that he believes Harris came into the interview with the “goal” of cramming in her talking points regardless of the questions asked.

“Normally you can kind of get in on the breath,” Baier said, referring to his efforts to get Harris to directly answer his inquiries.

“Sometimes there is an effort to filibuster, to create a moment,” he added. “And I think that that was their goal coming in.”

Harris, 59, dodged several of the Fox News host’s questions during the sit-down, including ones related to immigration, border security and President Biden’s mental decline.

@cordycord how do you always mess up twitter links? just copy the link and paste. you always seem to make it a hyperlink and then they don't parse correctly.
THIS is how I screw it up:

I replace the "X" with "twitter" and enter it like this:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1846832187519189503?s=61&t=WKzXgD81-aDmQ-lSmMKltg


Let me know how I can **** things up worse...

FYI, this is a straight copy and past of an X link.

...and this is what the link shows. Legacy media is captured. It's another "Journ-O-list" where they decide the narrative, and gaslight the truth about Harris' horrid interview.

Jeffrey Epstein and P Diddy have more in common than you think. Surprising connections discussed. And if you make it to the end, very interesting truths about the Watergate Scandal.

BTW, this is real.

Go to "partisan candidates" and try to find Trump or JD Vance...

Trump/Vance didn't pay the $3500 fee to be in the voter brochures or something. Trump is on the ballot in OR.

I went to the first page listed that was Oregon.gov, and this is what they give me.

Yeah, with a big blue "i" window saying all candidates will appear on ballots. Why no fuss over Cornel West not being listed on the online menu too?

Wait, some tweeter is trying to get retweeted by making a big deal about something small?

As competitive victimhood has become a new national sport, the demand for oppression and discrimination far exceeds the supply.

Jussie Smollett, the "War On Christmas" Christians, BLM, Tucker Carlson, the #MeToo crowd... the list goes on and on.

It started out in the fringe groups, where the pink-hairs became convinced that Donald Trump was going to personally use assault rifles to prevent transgendered 8 year olds from having access to abortions.

Now it's become mainstream.

So absurd!

Transgendered 7 year olds, maybe.

Don't use hyperlink -- that creates this in code:

[url=twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1846832187519189503?s=61&t=WKzXgD81-aDmQ-lSmMKltg]https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1846832187519189503?s=61&t=WKzXgD81-aDmQ-lSmMKltg[/url]

and the system wont automatically create the inline embedding code to display the X inline here.

just paste the link, twitter or x, directly into the reply box. like this:

https://x.com/rickroll

the system picks it up when you hit save and automatically creates the html to display it.

Satire:







Reality:

It wouldn't matter if Trump personally fixed every single McFlurry machine in North America. Enough people have been convinced that he is more or less a secular version of the Antichrist that I really don't think he has a legitimate chance in November anymore.

I am genuinely curious to see how both Trump and the hardcore MAGA faithful will deal with the upcoming loss in November.

Like, will there be more claims of fraud and a "stolen" election? Another march on the Capitol building? Or perhaps something completely new and different this time around.
