The part in blue is a story I am following closely. Trump officials seem to classify David Ellison as an ally, who will alter CNN's coverage to make it more "friendly."

What happens if he complies? What happens if he doesn't? Both are huge for Obanization.
Jeffrey Dahmer also suffered reputational damage. Sometimes it’s appropriate.
I don't see any reason why government officials should be protected from reputational damage for their actions while working in an official capacity.
Mar Espinar criticized Isabel Diaz Ayuso for her alignment with Trump during a government hearing: (English translation in the post) “Cójase al mafioso de su jefe de Gabinete, tire para Mar-a-Lago y déjenos aquí — que somos más de los valientes de Minnesota”
Mar Espinar, Spain’s PSOE deputy, on Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s support for Trump:
“Take your mafioso chief of staff, go to Mar-a-Lago, and leave us here — because we are more like the brave ones from Minnesota”
Jen Psaki just said that Joe Biden would carry cards in his pocket listing members of our military services who had died.
One of her guests said there are generals who do that for members under their command.
Hegseth probably carries pictures of himself.
These schmucks had reputations to damage?
Oh well, too bad nobody will ever see these again since they were down from the internet.
This is worse though, right?
We didn't hate Kyrsten Sinema enough. (I don't care who fucks who in general, but when you're in Congress, one does have slightly higher standards, especially when there are spouses involved.)
For fuck's sake, now we have to defend Maggie Haberman? 🥴
Ok so they predicted it and fucked it up colossally?
Or they did not predict it.
Which is worse?
Profiles in courage!
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
I'm sorry for wherever he goes next.
Years ago I worked at Miramax for executive producer of "Good Will Hunting." Ben Affleck came in one day and said he liked a GWH poster in Hebrew. We turned the place upside down looking for another copy to send him. This was a multi-day ordeal. All Affleck did was say he liked it. 2/2
I think this problem goes back further: one reason so many celebrities go bananas is there is - literally - an entire industry whose entire function is to protect celebrities and give them whatever they *might* want, not even something they do. 1/2
What I think the takeaway is here is that there’s no Democrat veteran the military and its media backers will stand behind, no matter how
Illustrious their service.
“They shoot protestors in the head. This is an evil group of people.” 🤔
Jake Long was caught in a “catch a predator” sting.
This guy is a pedo? No way.

IDK who needs to know this, but...
When you call one of Senator Adam Schiff's local CA offices and he starts droning on, wait until he says "I got a few options for ya" and hit THREE.
That transfers you to speak to a live human being instantly. (You might be put on hold, ofc).
Just press 3.
The SwiftBoating of Walz’s military career was faster and more vicious than I could have ever expected. Devastatingly effective.
Even outwardly anti-trump VetBros who knew better took up with the band.
I heard about it nearly every time I canvassed. If Walz came up, so did the smears.
Pulitzer for the reporter that shoves a microphone into Pete Hegseth’s face that’s actually a camouflaged breathalyzer.
Vance briefing like a crazy man to make sure he doesn’t get dragged down by the coming political disaster.
Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

Lawd people are fucking stupid.
They decide that it is everyone else that is wrong.
Watch this video.
This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.
We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.
A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
