https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/22/argentina-javier-milei-presidential-election The guy is as much a wildcard as can be imagined and, interesting to me, the people I know in Argentina all want him in. These are educated people and liberals who have even lived outside Argentina (which certainly has its challenges) for many years. They admit that Argentina has so many challenges that many people, themselves included, just want to explore a different path ... but much of what they discuss as problems for Argentina are perceptions that it's the poor who are lazy and that's the problem, not abuses by those in power. In his words, people have kids, no job and are maybe children of veterans and so they make money and are trained not to work. The problem isn't the chef but the recipe (socialist policies). This guy is a former tantric sex coach, is going to abolish the central bank, do away with pubic health and education and allow people to sell their organs. He has the support of Bolsonaro, among others, and has already decried irregularities in the primary, arguing 2.5-5% of votes weren't counted. And, yes, he's a big fan of Trump.

https://newrepublic.com/post/179033/judge-denies-trump-trial-delay-start-date-stormy-daniels-hush-money-criminal-trial GOP front-runner Donald Trump is officially headed to court next month—the first of his four upcoming criminal trials expected sometime this year. On Thursday, Trump headed to New York for a court hearing on his hush-money case. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan ignored his requests for a delay and determined the trial would start on March 25, when jury selection will begin, and last approximately six weeks. Trump is accused of using his former fixer Michael Cohen to sweep an affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels under the rug ahead of the 2016 presidential election. He’s facing 34 felony charges in this case for allegedly falsifying business records with the intent to further an underlying crime. Trump has pleaded not guilty on all counts. The dates for Trump’s three other indictments are not yet on the books. His January 6 election interference trial, which was originally slated for March 4, was postponed while the Supreme Court reviews appeals on Trump’s presidential immunity claim.

Atlanta's Pryor Street SW between MLK Jr. Drive and Mitchell Street will be closed beginning Monday at 5 a.m. because it is the nearby road of the Fulton County Courthouse, where District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to file an indictment against Trump, as recommended by the grand jury. The grand jury has not yet delivered a decision. The road closure will last until Aug. 18 and will include increased security. Pedestrian traffic will still be allowed on the street, but no public parking will be permitted. The Fulton County Courthouse will remain open to the public.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/china-russia-republican-party-relations/678271/ THE NEW PROPAGANDA WAR Autocrats in China, Russia, and elsewhere are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world.

We need to have ongoing discussions and examples of how mainstream political media centers Republicans and help them form and propagate their messaging. Below are just the most recent examples.

Well, it’s that time again folks, a new pandemic is here! So far it hasn’t spread to humans. As far as I know just cows. But the virus is in the milk, so definitely don’t drink raw/unpasteurized milk. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/ Viral components have been found in pasteurized milk, but so far tests show that it’s still safe to drink. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/now-is-a-great-time-to-discuss-the-wellness-trend-that-is-drinking-raw-milk/ar-BB1l4Yxq Beef could be an issue, too, but I’d assume that properly cooked meat would be safe. Maybe don’t eat it too rare. And then there’s chicken products. Are they safe if fully cooked? Again, presumably. Just putting this out there as something to monitor.

Right now they are blaming the teacher but hopefully we find out it was self defense and why this kid started swinging at him. There are 3 videos, the 3rd one is the best IMO. https://www.ktnv.com/news/substitute-teacher-arrested-after-altercation-with-valley-high-school-student-caught-on-camera

Front page news on the Onion: Everyone must donate $1 or the Onion will disappear. It's obviously a joke but at the same there is a real payment link to pay $1. This is next level genius and I hope they eventually publish how many fools sent in a dollar. https://www.theonion.com/give-us-1-or-the-onion-disappears-forever-1851436787

They haven't changed a bit after Dominion. Let's keep the thread as updates for their continued bullshit and intentional manner of spewing disinformation. Over the past week the idiots have been saying veterans were being kicked out of hotels to make way for illegal immigrants. It of course was fake, but it didn't stop them from hosting it throughout the day, all week apparently, and even spent a huge segment on prime time with Ingraham covering it. This was their retraction (note the language). They know the people watching them are too stupid to care they're actively being lied to on a daily basis. They've figured out the Trump base and actively make fun of them behind closed doors. I thought a new thread with specifically Fox in mind made sense seeing as they obviously see the settlement as simply a cost of doing business.

How in the hell can you cheat with NIL? This is like Lewan getting popped for Roids

Full disclosure... I didn't watch the whole thing.

Heh?

Leave it to Hollywood.

Donald Trump Found Liable in Civil Rape Trial May 9, 2023 at 3:18 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 445 Comments “A Manhattan jury on Tuesday has found Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse of the magazine writer E. Jean Carroll in a widely watched civil trial,” the New York Times reports. “After only three hours of deliberation, the jury determined that Carroll had proven Trump sexually abused her, but they rejected the accusation that she had been raped.” The jury awarded Carroll a total of $5 million in damages. Washington Post: “Carroll smiled as the verdict from the nine-person civil jury was announced Tuesday afternoon in a Manhattan court.” https://politicalwire.com/2023/05/09/trump-found-liable-in-civil-rape-trial/

I’m sure something worthy of discussion will happen. Biden might announce we are annexing Mexico to end illegal immigration. Or Mike Johnson may throw holy water at Biden during the speech to perform an exorcism. Or Boebert will start giving the person next to her a handjob for old time sakes. You never can tell!
