Lib media is addicted to the sweet, sweet money Trump generates for them. Anything Trump related gets the clicks, views, and generates ad revenue. MSNBC will never simply say “Trump’s current delay tactic will add seven days to the start of this hush money trial,” and the move on. The network has to spend at least ~15 minutes on all the pointless legal minutiae bullshit so libs stay to the next ad segment and keep watching beyond that.

That account would make a lot of libs mad. And they’d get even madder when they discovered/realized it was a novelty account.

You should. Nothing is stopping you.

Mr. Right-winger comes home from work dog tired. Just before he gets to his front door he gets shocked and he starts pushing the doorbell like crazy and pounding on the door like a madman. Finally Mrs. Right-winger opens the door.

“Oh, my goodness! I thought I was the victim of a random communist attack! Honey, what’s gotten into you?”

“What is that!” He points at the Trump as crucified Jesus doormat.

“It’s our brand new Trump as Crucified Jesus Doormat. It just got here this morning.”

“You expect me to step on Our Lord and Savior Big Wet Boy? Inexcusable! This is a Christian household that loves Trump! This is like a fumi-e during the Tokugawa shogunate.”

“It’s like a what during the what? You’re acting crazy.”

“Have you stepped on it?”

“I don’t know. Yeah. I guess so. Two or three times.”

“We’ll hang it over the fireplace in a place of honor. I don’t think I need to divorce you. But you have dishonored me and our household.”

Crying “But I thought it was cute!”

You made me curious. He’s at Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island. It’s a low-security federal prison. My ~3 minutes of research makes me think he doesn’t.

Internet in prisons

Federal prison system

In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, an agency of the US Department of Justice, put into place a fee-based system called Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System (TRULINCS) on February 19, 2009. This allows inmates access to electronic messaging through e-mails. The message must be text only, and must be conducted in a secure manner between inmate and the public. Messages are subject to monitoring. Currently all institutions operated by the Bureau of Prisons have TRULINCS.

However outside of the TRULINCS program, nearly all states prohibit Internet use by inmates, severely limiting technology-based access to educational opportunities. Inmates are allowed use emails to contact lawyers if they have no family to do it for them, some states allow very limited contact to family if no funds are available through for phone services.

I could be wrong though. it’s amazing how many legal loopholes there can be and Mr. #Basta is a lawyer.

I wondered what he was up to. The usual shit. Here’s a tweet that’s a few hours old.

Right now rebotaxis are driving around San Francisco so the clash is with dingbat leftists, but when it goes mainstream the real struggle with be with manly men (and truckers) who don’t want to take their hands off the wheel.

I guess the Bluesky algo has started feeding me “hammer and sickle” discourse. I’m muting the phrase at least for now.

Genuinely, it’s getting to the point where I see a hammer and sickle in someone’s username/bio and I know that very soon after presenting them with facts, they will completely shut down and isolate themselves further in their disinformation sphere.

I just learned two things are far more common than I thought. “Sign in” posts and like farming posts (in particular with bullshit news). On the upside - I started focusing on small accounts where people actually do stuff - play guitar, take photos etc. But politically - I assume most of the accounts with 10,000s of followers are libs. Being a lib is the norm there.

Every once in a while I check clearsky.app to see who’s blocking me. A recent account is a guy with this as a bio…

Reaganite technologist in Northern Virginia

He’s going to be very lonely - haha.

Or not. Maybe they’ll create a new podcast unironically called - cough - The Fake Resistance. There’s always a grifting angle in present day America.

I don’t know anything about him. But in the 60+ seconds I spent looking at his profile I assumed he was Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer with a broken brain. They seem to all have the same POV - if you don’t think the worst thing in the universe is Trump - you are the enemy.

Yeap. He was on MSNBC a shitton as part of the hashtag Resistance. Once the news broke that he was a criminal - MSNBC started to pretend that he didn’t even exist.

Now I’m wondering if I should ditch my bland Bluesky avi for something that’s just the right level of provocative to get a hell of a lot more engagement. An RFJ Jr. might be the Goldilocks Zone. Hmm…

Insufferable libs are insufferable.

The chutzpah of this guy. He reposted this recently.

The 4 dark laws of online engagement:

1. Negativity bias drives headline clicks
2. Extreme opinions drive in-group sharing
3. Out-group animosity drives engagement
4. “Moral-emotional” language goes viral

I discuss our research on the dark side of virality…

Many of the results are Reddit and Quora.

Google’s top result is NPR which I suppose is blocked from Result Hunter.

I sense the second whistleblower will also die of a gunshot would that was “self-inflicted”.

We - here at PBS - endeavor to share with our viewers a wide range of political opinion from center-right to moderate right-wing.
