i wonder what i’ll get first, my N95 mask, the free covid tests, or a crack pipe.

stock market is rolling and jobs numbers are good, just killed a major terrorist. makes it more telling that people still think he’s incompetent.

im really curious to see who runs for the democrats in 2024.

the government is giving out free crack pipes?

the feds are giving away "safe smoking kits".

As we all know, "enabling" is a sure-fire way to combat harmful behavior. It never, ever fails.

Still waiting for my free test kits and masks.

You ducked the question. Let me ask again - Is the Govern. giving out free crack pipes?

i don’t know, i haven’t seen a kit. have you? they say they aren’t including pipes in the kits. they say a lot of things.

Biden said republicans want to put blacks back in chains, said he drove an 18 wheeler, said he was arrested with nelson mandela, said he beat up a chain-wielding drug kingpin named Corn Pop, says Hunter is the smartest person he ever met.

He says a lot of things.

I answered your question. Here’s one for you. Why are his approval ratings at an all time low?

If you don't know why would you answer then? You didn't post the comment TDF did.

Yesterday they were crack pipes, today they are smoking kits, gotta love our media for getting the facts straight.

Tucker and Hannity always have problems with facts.

Except Newsweek reported it as crack pipes, then changed it. Let me guess, they’re now right wing media too

Well you were wrong correct? I know how you spend a lot of time fact checking people here. I was shocked you didn't come back and correct your wrong post.

it’s funny Paul, even if it’s a slight exaggeration.

FFS, a left wing news outfit explicitly said crack pipes. If you’re hypersensitive to facts not being perfect, call Newsweek.

And did you see the little smiley on my post indicating sarcasm, last time I checked I didn’t need to fact check sarcasm.

When I questioned it you stated the feds are giving away "safe smoking kits" that means at that point you knew it wasn't crack pipes.

There are lots of posts in this forum that aren't perfect. I usually let them go. Others don't.

I just think it is funny that you check in day after day and really don't add anything other try to fact check people here, post memes, or mock people's intelligence.

i did not know then, nor do either of us know now, that safe smoking kits don’t include pipes.

you’re struggling conceptually here.

never seen you criticize any of the lefties here not once.

i dont especially care what’s in the kit, just that as usual, the liberals came to the stupidest possible conclusion. Enabling people
to do hard drugs. effing brilliant.

Wow that hurts.

But you do care what is in the kits bc you commented on it. And as part of that commenting you lied and got caught lying.

biden said i’d have free covid tests. did he lie?

you must have been so excited....

Alex Shephard writes in the latest issue of The New Republic that something odd has happened to Newsweek. It has become an outlet for rightwing advocacy. The Newsweek story has been covered by many media outlets over the past several years, but I had not seen those stories and had no idea about what happened to this once iconic magazine.

For half a century, Newsweek was owned by the Washington Post and was a well-respected voice in American journalism. In 2010, the Post sold Newsweek to 91-year-old businessman Sidney Harman; Harman bought it for $1 and assumption of its liabilities. Ownership turned over a few more times, from Harman to Barry Diller. Diller regretted his purchase and sold Newsweek in 2014 to a group called International Business Times Media. IBTM changed its name to Newsweek Media Group. Its owners were tied to a small Christian college (Olivet University) led by a charismatic Korean pastor, David Jang. Jang also was founder of a cult called “The Community,” according to this report in Mother Jones.

In 2018, the offices of Newsweek were raided by federal agents investigating a money-laundering operation between the publication, the cult, and the college. A few weeks later, the Washington Post reported that the editorial staff at Newsweek had descended into “chaos” when two of its top editors and a journalist were abruptly fired: they were writing an investigative report about ties between Newsweek and its owners. Despite the firings, a group of staff journalists continued reporting on the company’s finances. Late Tuesday night, their exposé was published, revealing a deep financial relationship between the parent company and a small Christian school, Olivet University.

Alex Shephard summarizes the bizarre fate of what was once a highly respected publication.

Writing in The Columbia Journalism Review last year, Daniel Tovrov depicted Newsweek, once one of America’s most distinguished magazines, as a shell of its former self. All that was left was clickbait, op-eds from the likes of Nigel Farage and Newt Gingrich, and a general sense of drift. “Nobody I spoke to for this article had a sense of why Newsweek exists,” Tovrov wrote. “While the name Newsweek still carries a certain authority—remnants of its status as a legacy outlet—and the magazine can still bag an impressive interview now and then, it serves an opaque purpose in the media landscape.”

Last week, Newsweek suggested one possible purpose: The legitimization of narratives straight out of the right-wing fever swamps. An op-edwritten by John Eastman, a conservative lawyer and founding director of the Claremont Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, coyly suggested that Kamala Harris, who was born in California, may not be eligible to serve as vice president because her parents were immigrants. It was, as many pointed out, a racist attack with no constitutional merit, on par with the birther conspiracy theory that claimed Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Within a few hours, Eastman’s op-ed was being brandished by President Trump, who told reporters he had “heard”Harris may not be eligible to serve.

Three days after the op-ed was published, Newsweek apologized, sort of. In an editor’s note signed by global Editor-in-Chief Nancy Cooper and opinion editor Josh Hammer, the magazine acknowledged, “We entirely failed to anticipate the ways in which the essay would be interpreted, distorted, and weaponized…. This op-ed is being used by some as a tool to perpetuate racism and xenophobia. We apologize.” Still, the magazine refused to recognize what was obvious—that the op-ed was intended to spark questions about the eligibility of a Black woman running for high office. Newsweek’s editors merely feigned horror that the op-ed was taken in the only possible way it could have been taken.

The publication of Eastman’s op-ed says a great deal about the state of Newsweek’s opinion section, which has become a clearinghouse for right-wing nonsense. But it also points to a larger crisis in journalism itself: The rise of the zombie publication, whose former legitimacy is used to launder extreme and conspiratorial ideas.

Even by the volatile standards of journalism in the twenty-first century, Newsweek’s recent problems are extraordinary. There are the usual issues: a sharp decline in print subscribers, Google and Facebook, the difficulty of running a mass-market general interest news magazine in an age of hyperpartisanship. But Newsweek has also been raided by the Manhattan district attorney’s office (a former owner and chief executive pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges in February) and has been accused of deep ties to a shadowy Christian cult, amid many other scandals.

This is one of the strangest media stories I have read. The New Republic calls Newsweek “a zombie magazine.” Sad.

so a communist is wondering what happened to a socialist?

I wonder if the promised cure for cancer will come before the midterms, that would lift his polling.

What have you added to this post, other than EXACTLY what you criticize him for?

I posted that its interesting that despite some real successes, Bidens polling is in the toilet. All you've done is go after people personally, never came close to addressing the topic.

How about you either lead by example, or even better, get over yourself.

How about you act like a grown up man and stop constantly insulting people.

the single worst insult i’ve seen in this forum, was your use of the word regard. Disgusting. So again, get over yourself.

archie bunker telling me to cut down on the insults.

That is no where near as bad as the vile insults you throw around about women you don't like, comment on their looks or telling members here to pull their tampon out. But you support someone who mocks the handicapped and try making excuses by saying he was mocking their "appearance" or he has done it other times to non handicapped so somehow that meant he wasn't mocking a handicapped person. What type of convoluted thought process is that?

You constantly insult people. So act like a grown up man. Try setting an example for people.

Are you going to give yourself another 6 month time out?

You asked the question

Then I answered your question

And you decided to be an adult with this post

Right between you and I Jim feels he needs to stick his nose in it every post that he sees as if you can't defend yourself.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

i’ve never once invoked others misfortune to insult anyone else. never once.

i’m very impressed that in your opinion, your insults are ok.

you support someone with a rape allegation, a plagiarist, who sold influence to enrich his son, who promised to cure cancer, lied about getting arrested with nelson mandela, said republicans want blacks in chains.

“But it’s ok when democrats do it.”.

:jester::jester::jester:

I never said that but you have set the bar so low here. Why should anyone behave different than how you behave?

Did you notice how the tone of this whole forum changed when you took your 6 months time out and how it again changed - for the worse when you came back? What was the common denominator in those events?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

when i use the word you used, you let me know, ok?

it’s ok when you call someone a retard, it’s ok when pete goes after TDFs kids, it’s ok when one of you brought up someone else’s sick wife. According to you, none of that is worth mentioning. You told
me you did t care about any of that.

Because everything is always ok when liberals do it. If there’s an alternative explanation action as to
why you are so selective about who you chastise, well, I’m all
ears. Have fun.

How would i notice what happened when i wasn’t here, exactly? maybe it was nice for you to be able to call people retards without anyone calling you out.

a typo. wow. you got me.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

You let me know when I say vile things about women like you constantly have done in the past. Okay?

Pete recently pulled up the post that you say was about TDF kids and it was in a response to TDF's posting a picture of liberal kids. Pete went back with the basically the same thing as TDF did. So it's not nearly how you try to imply it is.

It's not okay when Liberals do something. I just think you're such a scummy person that I take special interest in your posts as I've never met someone as angry as you who constantly insults anybody who they disagree with. That was fun, thanks.

Go look at the posts that were started in the time frame you were on your 6 month time out and look at the tone versus when you're around. you'll see the difference in tone and amount of insults and realize that the only common denominator during that time is you. That's very telling.

Missed your edit. I never called anybody a retard so pull up the quote. You're trying to do exactly what you try to do with Pete.
