Trump revamps his fundraising operation after struggling to raise money for 2024.

Yea, he wants Bob Woodward to chip in $50 million.

Do these journalists of color and younger White reporters, including LGBTQ+ people innately know something? Do they know, because they themselves are incapable of hearing information and logically processing it to arrive at a reasoned defensible conclusion, that their audience is incapable as well. Therefore, better to simply tell your audience what they should feel.

Will there be an intersectional rubric so *you* know what to feel based on your personal attributes? After all, there is no objective truth.

I want reparations for all of the businesses that suffered losses because of the insane MLB boycott. Somewhere an attorney must be willing to take this case. One call, that's all.

Ari Fleischer called that with laser accuracy, crusading, not reporting.

I think there is an analogy to juries. I wouldn't want any of these people on a jury as their verdict would be informed by their own backgrounds, experiences and points of view, rather than just weighing the facts and evidence presented.

The last time the DNC was in Atlanta Dukakis got landslides by GHWB. But the real reason is that the dems think Georgia is a swing state. It’s not.

Proven by the recent trouncing of Stacy Abrams. When a mainstream republican runs in Georgia they win regularly and soundly. Osoff knows this as does Warnock. They will be 1 term senators.

But retrospectively what have the dems done won in Georgia against non Trump candidates? Exactly.

I had a part time job during the 1988 DNC in Atlanta driving journalists around (Firefighters’ Union). They considered themselves so far above me, they spoke freely about their confidence in an upcoming Dukakis victory over GHW Bush and who would be in his cabinet. It was hilarious in retrospect.
