I think you’re assigning a level of intelligence that Trump simply doesn’t have here. He’s absolutely not planning for anything more than 10 seconds ahead. He’s got a list of people he knows will do anything he says and he’s installing them wherever with no rhyme or reason.

The national security risk is why she was picked, hope that helps writers at the Atlantic.

I like how Trump yelled about never before seen levels of voter fraud in PA and not a single journalist is gonna follow up on that after he stopped complaining because he won. Shouldn’t we be asking what he knows?

This is the government equivalent of “you owe me a bajillion dollars!” An unserious fine from an unserious government.

Not quite. It’s largely because a manager decided that an important metric for Google to be better at was “how much time users spend on the results page” which turns out you can game by just making the results worse so users have to stay there longer. Management made a decision to focus on metrics that are counter to what users would actually want because… well, here’s a better article that explains it:

It’s funny this guy is absolutely gonna try to run for president in 2028 and whoever the republicans manage to put up is just gonna have to say “Commiefornia” and it’ll completely obliterate his run despite him basically being a diet republican anyway.

And only 2 of them ever voted. Literally more likely to have ballots lost in the mail than to have people who aren’t supposed to vote sneak through.

Bold of you to assume Trump knows how to write and the letter was at all legible.

Per the article, the exploit was fixed back in July. Weird to continue to use present tense to describe an exploit that doesn’t exist anymore.

Yeah, but if the media accurately depicted Trump as a deeply unserious candidate with absolutely no idea how to run anything, you might stop watching the news to see who is ahead, and don’t their ability to sell ads via a horse race narrative matter more than your silly country and life?

Really burying the lede that most of these people were already out of prison and Biden was just wiping their records since they’d been good after leaving prison.

But that’s not as fun as JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY SENT MURDEROUS DRUG DEALERS TO YOUR GRANDMAS HOUSE.

This won’t make a significant difference in the race. Anyone who was going to vote for Sheehy will read this as “saying what they all know to be true” and anyone who wasn’t going to vote for him will continue to not do so.
