    “but in the end”

    like people just dispassionately cranked the truth lathe and the fortune cookie said “all made up” instead of a coordinated PR carpet bombing to save face for a bumbling zombie man

    It was a woman who goes against and criticizes American/Democrat leadership, so she is a “lunatic” . Convenient.

    Credit were credit is due, ChapoTrapHouse did say that the nomination and precedency would kill the #metoo movement and now we’re seeing the scraps of what was; now being torn up by this draconian “journalist.”

    her mother called in to CNN a few months after the assault and talked about it and she has multiple witnesses who said she told them about it in the 1990s as well

    in some way

    she was quite specific about the manner in which Biden raped her

      This is a few degrees removed from the “Obama faked his birth certificate” line, where people tried to claim senior officials in Hawaii were part of a conspiracy dating back to the 60s to make a black man President.

      Of course, it’s hard to get people to even recall the Larry King interview happened, nevermind its validity.

    No point reading any Mother Jones unless the editorial team is completely replaced. “Means Testing Really Isn’t So Bad”

      here is Matt Yglesias in a recent post at his new Substack home

      imagine being more of a degenerate reptilian that Matt

      I like this ad:

      FACT:

      Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and the wealthy wouldn’t fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do. please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2021 demands.

        Imagine if someone had told you in 2016 that Shoe0nhead would criticise Mother Jones from the left, while Mother Jones is criticising Yglesias from the right.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
