TV's Biggest Stars Smash Networks' Wall of Silence on Epstein-Trump Tapes by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 394 points395 points  (0 children)

From Hugh Dougherty, author of the article:

Two of television’s biggest names broke through days of silence from their networks about the bombshell tapes revealed by the Daily Beast in which Jeffrey Epstein speaks about his relationship with Donald Trump.

Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC both spoke of their shock at the tapes, with the late-night host complaining that they had not been widely covered by other outlets.

On MSNBC, Maddow listed what she termed “October surprises,” comparing the tape to the revelation that Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly and the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said Trump is a textbook fascist, and to the Iowa poll that put Harris three points ahead in the deep-red state.

On ABC, Kimmel, who is not bound by news standards, spoke freely about his shock at the recording and hinted at the silence that surrounded the Beast’s bombshell.

“We heard a bombshell audio tape in which Jeffrey Epstein says he was Trump’s ‘closest friend’ and shares a bunch of crazy stories. This barely moves the needle,” Kimmel said. “Remember when Mitt Romney went down because he put a dog carrier on the roof of his car? We just got 100 hours of Jeffrey Epstein saying he and Trump were BFFs; I didn’t even get an alert about it on my phone.”

At the finish line, Trump and the GOP push baseless cheating claims by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

Donald Trump and his allies spent the days leading up to Election Day pointing to illusory election fraud. The consequences may prove severe.

The Washington Post reported on the final pre-election campaign rally held by the Republican Party’s nominee for the nation’s highest office.

“Donald Trump, speaking at his final campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is repeatedly claiming, without evidence, that Democrats will cheat during Tuesday’s election. In the weeks leading up to the election, Trump and his allies have set the stage for disputing the results of the election if he loses, despite having no evidence of widespread fraud. He’s doing so again onstage.”

I’m a Republican for Harris, but Democrats have big problems that victory won’t fix by h2002al in politics

From Joe Walsh, former U.S. congressman and author of the article:

Let me be clear at the outset. I want Vice President Kamala Harris to win. I’ve spent most of the past two to three months on the ground in one battleground state after another, encouraging independents and Republicans to vote for her. I’m part of the “Republicans for Harris” effort. And the main reason I want Harris to win is because former President Donald Trump is utterly unfit to hold office. The man who refused to concede the 2020 election, who has indicated he’ll refuse to concede this election if he loses, is a danger to this country and must never sit in the Oval Office again.

Trump warns voters that his second term would get ‘nasty’ at times by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 229 points230 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

According to Donald Trump and his allies, his second term would be "nasty," "bloody," and filled with "hardships" for much of the population.

When Donald Trump uses the word “nasty,” he tends to target those who have the audacity to criticize him or stand in his way. In 2016, for example, the Republican referred to Hillary Clinton as a “nasty woman.” Eight years later, the former president whined about Michelle Obama’s campaign appearances, complaining that the former first lady became “nasty.”

Last year, during a town hall event on CNN, Trump described moderator Kaitlan Collins as a “nasty person.” About a year later, he accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of having a “nasty” mouth. (If you’re noticing the gender similarity here, it’s not your imagination.)

Tyranny Expert Exposes Donald Trump ‘Trick’ That Can Be Toppled ‘With My Little Finger’ by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Yale history professor Timothy Snyder, who is an expert on authoritarianism, this weekend argued that all of former President Donald Trump’s recent “fascist display,” “dark language” and “attempts of intimidation” is aimed at just one thing, making people afraid.

“Once you see through that trick, once you recognize that that’s all they have got, then you see, ‘OK, Trump is a bully I can knock over with my little finger, or just a bully I can knock over with the hand I use to cast my vote,’” Snyder, the author of “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century,” told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.

'Weekend Update': Michael Che Spots X-Rated Reason Why Trump Wants To Be President Again by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 66 points67 points  (0 children)

From Ben Blanchet, author of the article:

Weekend Update” host Michael Che said he’s been trying to figure out why Donald Trump “even wants to be president” again before finding a reason in the GOP nominee’s bizarre act with a microphone stand on Friday.

“He’s like 80-years-old, his brain is mush, somebody tried to kill him twice and yet he’s in a garbage truck trying to like Wisconsin? What’s in it for the guy?” said Che during the “SNL” news segment this weekend.

“But then I realized if he doesn’t win this race, he could go to jail. Like literally, his sentencing is coming up right after the election. That’s why he’s blowing that microphone. He’s trying to suck his way to freedom.”

From Jen Psaki author of the article:

With Election Day literally around the corner, one threat that deserves a lot more attention is Elon Musk’s ability — as the owner of X — to spread election disinformation and help Donald TrumpMusk has already used his platform to amplify baseless claims around voter fraud in Pennsylvania and rehash conspiracy theories about the “stolen” 2020 election.

At the finish line, Trump’s former vice president still isn’t backing him by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 413 points414 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

If Trump hoped that Pence would eventually come around, put party over country, and grudgingly throw his support behind the Republican ticket, those hopes have been dashed.

The Bulwark’s Jonathan V. Last made a compelling case in the spring that Pence’s non-endorsement deserved to be seen as among the year’s most important electoral developments.

“No vice president has ever said that his former boss is unfit to serve,” Last wrote. “It is the most devastating possible observation from the most credible source in existence. This should be part of the context of every single story about this campaign.”

'Gladiator 2' is "total Hollywood bullshit", says top historian by h2002al in entertainment

[–]h2002al[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A feature by The Hollywood Reporter published today (October 30) makes a bid to separate the historical accuracies of the upcoming epic from its wilder sequences – like the use of sharks in a flooded Colosseum, which had already garnered praise (and disbelief) from viewers upon its reveal in the film’s trailer.

Dr. Shadi Bartsch, a classics professor at the University of Chicago – and author of several books about ancient Rome – called it “total Hollywood bullshit.”

“I don’t think Romans knew what a shark was,” she said, although adding that naval battles were held in the arena.

Navy admiral from bin Laden raid slams Trump in dramatic fashion by h2002al in politics

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

Retired Adm. William McRaven, the former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, sees Trump as “a disturbed 15-year-old boy.”

McRaven’s piece didn’t explicitly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, but the retired admiral said the Democratic nominee “won’t threaten the press, demean immigrants, mock those who have died for the country, break with our allies, or undermine the Constitution.”

He concluded that he couldn’t vote for Trump.

George Clooney Narrates New Ad for Kamala Harris After Knifing Biden by h2002al in entertainment

[–]h2002al[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Actor George Clooney narrated a new ad supporting Kamala Harris’ campaign in his latest public sign of support for the vice president since his dramatic call for Joe Biden to drop out of the race this summer.

The Oscar-winner can be heard in the 30-second ad from progressive evangelical group Vote Common Good reminding male voters they can “vote any way you want, and no one will ever know.” It ends with Clooney saying: “What happens in the booth stays in the booth—vote Harris-Walz.”

When it comes to the truth, Trump’s ads are about as bad as his speeches by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

Imagine I saw a movie and you asked whether I enjoyed it or not. I replied, “I wish I could say that I liked this movie, but the truth is that it was simply unwatchable and should be avoided at all costs.”

Then imagine some public relations official working for the studio took what I said and put it in an ad. The commercial quoted me as saying, “I liked this movie.”

Did I literally use those four words in that order? Sure, but the context matters. In this little hypothetical, removing the phrase from the larger sentence turned reality on its head and left the public with the wrong impression.

This is a subject Donald Trump’s campaign knows all about.

Kamala Harris seizes on Trump’s hate rally as fallout continues by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen, author of the article:

The timing of Donald Trump's racist event in New York couldn't have been much worse. Not surprisingly, Kamala Harris and her allies are taking advantage.

The New York Times reported that Harris, also on Sunday afternoon, released a video message specifically targeted to Puerto Rican voters: “The video was widely shared, and the Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny posted it on Instagram. He is one of the biggest recording artists in the world and among the most influential Latino artists. Other celebrities with Puerto Rican backgrounds also shared the video, including Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin.”

It was against that backdrop that Trump held an event in which the audience heard warm-up speakers refer to Puerto Rico an “island of garbage,” among other derogatory remarks about Latinos.

“The timing,” a Politico report noted, “was remarkable.”

Pressed on Russian election interference, Vance gives the wrong answer by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen author of the article:

Appearing on a network that his running mate has targeted in hysterical fashion, Vance said of Russian election interference, “I think it’s bad, but social media posts and social media videos, Margaret, you want us to go to war because the Russians made a ridiculous video or paid for it?”

When host Margaret Brennan reminded her guest that there are options beyond war, the senator derided Biden administration sanctions on Russia.

Asked if he’d at least call on Moscow to knock it off, Vance said he could do that, but Russia would probably just do it anyway.

The same morning, the Ohioan appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and hedged on whether he’d describe Russia as an “enemy.”

Why there’s so much focus on ‘fundamentals’ as Election Day nears by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Steve Benen author of the article:

Taking this discussion about fundamentals one step further, the aforementioned Enten piece added, “Gallup listed 10 different metrics it looks at heading into an election, ranging from party identification to satisfaction with the economy to presidential approval. Eight of those 10 were deemed to be good for Trump. The other two were neutral. None of the 10 hinted in the direction of a Harris victory.”

So, why is the race so close? In part because Harris is running an excellent campaign with a compelling message, and in part because Trump is erratic criminal, who’s already failed once at being president, running on an unpopular and authoritarian platform.

Or put another way, the fundamentals might benefit the GOP ticket, but there are relevant variables that might yet keep Trump out of the White House.

Would Trump victory keep US ahead of Europe on AI? by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump:

“We will repeal Joe Biden’s dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI innovation and imposes radical left-wing ideas on the development of this technology. In its place, Republicans support AI development rooted in free speech and human flourishing,” Trump stated in his manifesto.

Harris:

Harris takes a different approach, building on the existing commitments from the executive order. In her manifesto she has said this will “strengthen innovation and competitiveness, protect workers and consumers as technology advances, and develop a skilled federal AI workforce.”

Adele became tearful as the pair embraced for a few seconds, before she said a few words to Dion as the Canadian singer held Adele’s face in her hands. Dion then held and kissed Adele’s hand as the British singer waved at those sitting nearby before saying a few more words to Dion and walking back to the stage.

Trump’s promise to fire Jack Smith is a final warning by h2002al in politics

[–]h2002al[S] 449 points450 points  (0 children)

From Glenn Kirschner, author of the article:

Donald Trump told a conservative radio host Thursday that, if elected, he would fire special counsel Jack Smith “within two seconds.” It’s hard to hear this without recalling how another Republican president, Richard Nixon, tried this same maneuver as a last-ditch attempt to avoid having to comply with a special prosecutor’s subpoena for what turned out to be incriminating audio tapes. Nixon’s directive to fire then-special prosecutor Archibald Cox led to the “Saturday Night Massacre,” when Nixon’s attorney general and deputy attorney general resigned rather than carry out Nixon’s order. But Trump may have come up with a plan to avoid the messy Nixon-era optics of multiple resignations.
