Trump's press conference tirade Tuesday was cut short on CNN by an anchor compelled to challenge what he called multiple falsehoods and lies. Jim Acosta muted Trump amid a lengthy rant delivered at Mar-a-Lago , and turned instead to Fact checker Daniel Dale for an analysis. https://youtu.be/yfrZPVQswnU

“ Billionaire Jeff Bezos defended blocking The Washington Post‘s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris in an op-ed on Monday, claiming the decision was a “principled” one and that there was no quid-pro-quo arrangement with any presidential candidate.”

Really?

So why not last year? Why in the weeks before the election when NOT EVEN THE PAPER KNEW???

Rich people really are just rich.

But smart? Not so much.

Once again demonstrating that courage doesn’t require balls. 💁‍♀️

This morning I cancelled my Washington Post subscription over WaPo's decision not to endorse Kamala Harris.

Instead I have bookmarked the following News Sites:
- Associated Press (AP) - Neutral
- Reuters - Leans Right
- Semafor.com - Neutral
- Public Broadcasting (PBS) - Leans Left
- Atlantic Journal Constitution (AJC) - Center Right
- ProPublica.org - Neutral

And instead will be donating the money I saved, to local newspapers.

#politics Tom Nichols in his recent article in The Atlantic had it right. Trump’s base LOVES his outrageousness, his racism, his misogyny, his immorality, his disparagement of military heroes. Because it’s an affront to the people they hate, and giving them the middle finger is great! Thinking that each new Trump scandal/threat to democracy/violence approval/sedition will turn his supporters away - “We’ll, they have to come to their senses now.” - misses the point.

Seven years ago I came to the conclusion that Social Media is NOT helping discourse. That's why I called this site 'COUNTER Social'.

I decided to at least TRY to fight fire with fire.

I was thinking about this recently. Back then I had no idea who the heck you were. I came across you on Twitter by accident. Admittedly, I was very skeptical wondering if it was risky to even click your invite link on opening day. I did some research best I could and took the risk.

Best damn decision I ever made. You, sir, changed the course for me and so many others 7 years ago. We thank you for lighting that fire. 💜

Uhh....

AWS: We were going to let a bunch of you go, but didn’t want to pay unemployment or be understood as having more layoffs. Aren’t we clever?

Florida rep Anna Paulina Luna voted against FEMA emergency spending bill. Now she is calling for FEMA aid before Milton hit. You can't have it both ways, sweetie. Despite heroic response from FEMA and other agencies, Luna attacks Harris for criticizing Ron DeSantis (who is refusing to take Harris' calls in spite of another Cat 5 hurricane barreling down on Florida). Rethugs really don't care who dies as long as they can own the libs. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/florida-gop-rep-who-voted-against-fema-funding-calls-for-aid-before-milton/ar-AA1rSACb
