Another Sam

Note that no one took AI=>SI seriously, so he dropped it. Shoulda tried this before maybe? Ya think?

Sadly, because we’re so inured, the perfect and easy to understand reflecting pool saga is already forgotten.

We’ve become so inured that it’s not even news when this guy cheapens a constitutional power (which the founders were dead serious about) by turning it into a reality TV stage act.

ATTN: @cnn.com Unsubstantiated Rumor is just a term used to sanewash what's really a LIE. Got it? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The difference between the two parties is real, stark, and profound.

We scored tickets to see the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum!!!!

I guess that no one will say the obvious, so I will: low brow!

I gotta stop watching cable news. This a good time to remind armchair attorneys is that there are three essential elements to perjury.

Dear @cnn.com @msnownews.bsky.social No more “…with no evidence of …”’weasel wording. Need to say “THERE IS NO SYSTEMIC VOTER FRAUD.” “IT’S ALL A LIE.” Try “THOSE NOT ELIGIBLE ARE NOT ON THE ROLLS.” Don’t show these liars any more respect than you would a flat earth believer.

Anyone else cringe when this guy keeps talking about the USofA like it’s just another business enterprise?

Sanjay. Jake. @cnn.com Time for daily updates on you know who. Where are you guys?

C’mon @cnn.com @msnownews.bsky.social need to use the descriptor REALITY TV SHOW in your reporting this morning.

In newsrooms and TV studios allowed over the country this morning, the elephants are chuckling as they are being ignored.

Reminder: There’s no empirical evidence whatsoever that indicates any problem with election integrity. None whatsoever.

Here’s a weasel wording habit I’ve long cringed over: using IMPLIED when the appropriate word is CLAIMED or ASSERTED or POSITED. Or LIED. Journalists commit this infraction all too often.

Hey @msnownews.bsky.social Cmon. Elephant in the room. Any discussion of voter databases, matching, restricting mail on and so on is dominated by the one overwhelming fact: THE WHOLE IDEA OF VOTER FRAUD IS A LIE!!!

I wish MSNOW would announce the days that Joe ain’t on Morning Joe. It’s quite watchable when J&M are off.

The guy attacks journalists by name, calling for the government he leads to punish specific folks. And from R’s in Congress: crickets. Suppose for a minute that Biden . . .

Reminder: Election integrity, as trumpeted by this crew, is a completely fabricated, made up issue. IAW it's a complete lie, with no basis whatsoever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My unsolicited hot take: Jayden's play on LSU NIL moves -- hey, these guys are professionals. He's a professional. He's been a professional for many years before the Commanders. What's the big deal here, folks? Just my $0.02.

Serious question: why is repeatedly dozing off during official events not a 24/7 story calling for immediate replacement? If you know who had done this . . .

The only reason the catering truck getaway is a story is because of the usual gratuitous lying up front.

“They will endorse eating pets again. And traveling by caravan. Oh the horror …”

Finally after what seemed like an eon, they fielded an interesting and watchable product. But now the club has reinvented itself. Again. Call me when they’re interested in winning.

Any news outlet that trots out election experts in response is missing the elephants in the room. @nbcwashington.com looking at you.

We're so inured that it's not even news when he lies about that last phone call.

Dear @cnn.com the elephants are stampeding today. Please cover the real stories.

Two most annoying things I see when driving: 1. Following me too closely on residential streets. Makes, me go slower, not faster, you idiot. 2. the surprisingly widespread practice of swerving left before a right turn, or swerving right before a left turn. Grow up, idiots.

Dear MSNOW: don’t fall for newspeak. No one has ever, ever referred to it as The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. It’s the reflecting pool. Thank you for your attention to . . .

NYT Xword: Game of Thrones Is the new Harry Potter, in the category of references to things I don’t know.

Biggest issues confronting the republic today: 1. Algae face saving 2. Algae mitigation [distant second]

Waiting to hear: “I was with him until Algaegate.”

Cmon media. When reporting reflecting pool news, focus on the lumbering herd of elephants on the room. Without disclaimers or soft soap words.

I mostly lurk everywhere these days [regarding matters of importance, that is] but I gotta say: what if any Democrat -- in any office -- repeatedly nodded off during official apperances?

@cnn.com this morning giving heavy rotation to Paxton’s zingers while just crickets on Talarico’s.

The @sportsjunkies.bsky.social had about two minutes if content in the first two hours today. Only professionals can do this. Don’t try this at home, folks.

I’m so over all Iran all the time. 😕

Are there any states where you don't have to offer any kind of proof whatsoever about who you are? In VA you used to just recite your address. But for quite a while a voter flashes one of a number of approved IDs.

ATTN: Restaurants in Maine resort towns. To be taken seriously, remove cutesy northeastern dialect (e.g. lobstah, pissah, wicked, …) from your menu. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear @CNN - please occasionally cover the elephant in the room. You know what I'm talking about.

Lots of people awoke today expressing a previously unvoiced commitment to fair play, and ruing hardball

Voted today. Contrary to what some would have you believe, all voters showed ID from an approved list and were verified. Or provisional protocols.

@statter911.bsky.social I liked your thoughts on the Mixing Bowl. Did Captain Dan originate the term Rock Creek Roller Coaster for the radically curvy north leg of the beltway?

The story of this era will be how all those - media included - who could have made a difference continued to tiptoe around the elephant in the room.

A wretched ninth. And they didn’t get an out in the tenth. I’ve seen this movie a few times. 🙁. Oh well. Next game. Play ball.

Just when I’d deluded myself into thinking this was an interesting club, it’s Déjà vu. All over again. Baseball can be cruel that way.

REMINDER: NATO is an alliance for mutual defense. That’s DEE effin’ FENCE. Got it?

Is an international airport among the most unlikely places to find arriving people who haven’t completed vetting to be here?
