I worked out in our office’s gym yesterday at a later-than-usual time. I was one of only two people there; the other person arrived when I did.

Whoever had been there earlier had turned on two TVs: one (muted) to Fox News, and the other (loud) to fucking Newsmax.

Some douchebag in the building does this periodically, and it’s clearly meant to provoke. We turned off both TVs.

Anyway, on Newsmax, they were talking about Pam Bondi and the Epstein scandal.

If there’s any strategic insight for which Steve Bannon deserves credit, I guess, it’s that “flooding the zone with shit” works. It’s cynical and evil, but it works.

Let's see if the Dems (if they win in 2028) use this playbook.

The New York Times is reporting on it pretty much every day.

The amount of shit being produced gets that drowned out I see. It does just not exist any more on the pods I watch from time to time. It's not there in the mainstream TV at all.

He probably copped that from Vladislav Surkov.

Everything these cretins do is derived from Stalinism, so probably.

Looks like we’re about to find out who’s wearing the pants. Don or Bibi.

In further developments Melania just revealed she’s never heard of Barbara Streisand.
