This section of the article is basically the TLDR:
armed with a high-powered projector, booked themselves a room across the street from Trump Tower to display the message “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” — along with other slogans intended to rankle, rile, and otherwise irritate the candidate — across his 92-story building’s gleaming glass facade.
The slogans “Trump-Vance: ‘Weird as Hell,’” “Harris-Walz: Fighting for You,” and “Project 2025 HQ” are also in rotation.
He later said that “if I owned that network I would fire her so fast.”
Aww, poor widdle baby doesn't own all of the media. 🥺
This may be a ridiculous statement, as are most he makes, but it's still vital to recognize that what he's saying is, should he make it back into office, he would do whatever he could to control the press. He's already been on that since the beginning with his "fake news" bullshit.
[DeSantis] then added, “The minute you go into these other things where all of a sudden people get elected district attorney and they release criminals, or they refuse to prosecute criminals, crime goes up. Well, actually, statistics don’t go up, because what they start doing, they stop reporting crimes. So they say, ‘Oh, this crime is down all these cities, and everyone’s scared to walk down the street.’ And no, it’s not that crime is down — it’s that the reporting is down. Because first of all, if you get mugged in some of these places, it’s not even worth reporting it. There’s never going to prosecute somebody for that.”
So he makes a completely unsubstantiated statement regarding crime, then attempts to back up his claim with another unsubstantiated one regarding crime reporting. Makes perfect sense. 🙄
I am glad some politicians and the media are finally starting to call out this type of shit as what it is: weird. We've been living in bizarro world for almost a decade and it's about time the people in power got loud about calling out how fucking weird everything has become.
I love this question! This made me really happy. My favorite has always been (and remains) the brontosaurus. (Probably can blame "The Land Before Time" for its influence.)
I remember in the early/mid-90s being corrected that brontosaurus wasn't a dinosaur species, but was actually the same as apatosaurus. Being a stubborn child, I refused to accept this and always considered the brontosaurus, not the apatosaurus, my favorite. I felt so vindicated when the study came out in 2015 that brontosaurus and apatosaurus weren't the same.
Perhaps that's why I still stubbornly refuse to let go of Pluto: the minute hope that my favorite planet will be recognized again someday. Alas.
the state warned that shutting down the farm line once the heat index hits 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31.1 degrees Celsius), as requested by plaintiffs in their emergency filing, would “open the floodgates” to cease work “in any institution across the South.”
Maybe - and just hear me out - maybe that's not a bad thing if your work is all slave labor. ¯(ツ)/¯
That was my thought, too.
Alternately, I'd consider re-accepting the weiner into our pants if we could get some of that socialized heath care.
