If we are going to talk like pirates, I’ll add:

Obviously.

All the major networks covered this live. None of them covered the Harris rally that happened right after. Some did fact checking afterward. That’s after most people stop watching.

The reporters often asked useless softball questions, like asking him to comment about his upcoming interview with Musk.

When there was a serious question, he simply didn’t answer. There was one about abortion and he said he would answer later. There was one about whether an an abortion drug should be banned. He gave a rambling response that seemed to be about something else.

Compare this to a typical Biden press conference where the reporters are rude and yell out questions and push back and tell Biden that he isn’t answering the question.

The press is afraid of Trump and complicit with his criminal behavior and complicit in the ignorance of the voters.

The most obvious example is untermenche which the nazis used to describe their enemies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untermensch

I can’t imagine that the authors of the book didn’t know this. It’s not quite a dog whistle to neo nazis and white supremecists. More like a bullhorn.

Yeah ChatGPT didn’t seem to realize he’s praising/condemning google not Fox. He’s attempting to get google to roll over and lie for him like Facebook does

As an uncle who knows something about WWII and also notices the current rise in fascism, I must point out there is an error in the article:

At press time, Poppavich signed up for a local history group’s WWII reenactment, requesting a position within the Axis powers, specifically the USSR since he “likes Putin’s style.”

Actually, the USSR was not an axis power during the war. They were one of the Allies on the side of Great Britain and the US. The Axis was Germany, Italy, and Japan

And why Musk bought Twitter and ruined it

I think it’s on Tubi which is free and young people can figure it out. But they won’t stumble upon it like you said
