RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

RFK in Michigan: "Mike Rogers was talking about the Muslim Brotherhood. That's something I can talk about…Islamism, which is the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, took over…That's why you don't see any Muslims, any Arab Muslims winning the Nobel."

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I think the psychology is like this: “I believe the psychological fact is true and it’s OK to fudge the data little bit to illustrate”. As if the data don’t actually test theory, they illustrate an ideal outcome. Faking data this way is like getting cosmetic surgery to look like your “true” self

Fascinating that he talks at length about the science of deception while knowing he’s full of shit. Really makes you see YCSE differently. Like some people are just REALLY good at lying.

Once again, I demand an animated series where all the little NYT focus group people are living together in a big house and trying to have conversations while also not having the house constantly at risk of burning to the ground or flooding with raw sewage or overrun by wild tapirs and such.

The world’s richest man, a vast recipient of our tax dollars, is personally intervening in a war on behalf of Russia’s murderous dictatorship. Every public contract with firms he controls should be severed on national security grounds. This is legal & easy to do—> www.congress.gov/crs_external...

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Trump: "Honestly, I could've done numbers on Hillary Clinton. I could've done numbers on Bill Clinton. I could've done numbers on Barack Hussein Obama. Still could. I still could. I could do big numbers if I wanted to. Go after them. Criminally. Destroy their reputations."

This lack of response to what is at least a five alarm fire is utterly disqualifying for any future post for Schumer. What is his problem?

Truthout@truthout.org · 2w ago

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

steve is concerned with the implications of all of this for the judiciary but, with all genuine respect, i really think that one has to approach this as a problem of game theory

Yes!

“On swing voters: Notice that Trump is generally not visiting places with large numbers of them” WaPo oped missing the point here by treating Trump as a calculating politician. Trump only goes to places where he knows he can have a loyal crowd that will lap up his nonsense. wapo.st/3U1KOY9

Three weeks from Election Day, the president is spending his scarcest resource in red territory.

I take the potential for internecine violence in this country very seriously. And I've tried to be careful with my rhetoric around this. But how long are we supposed to sit by and respond politely when the other side talks EXCLUSIVELY about killing or imprisoning our loved ones?

Huh. Whaddya know. #2 Russian asset.

A half-a-million dollar share of a Nobel might seem like a nice surprise on its face but actually Hall has had it in his budget forever.
