CNN abruptly ends live interview after Trump spokesperson criticizes network
  • It’s not an easy choice to cut off an interview like this. I’m certain the producers in the control room had to do the calculus on whether to allow her to seed horrible misinformation and “appear” “neutral” (I know, I know), or cut her off and appear to be “suppressing the truth” (AGAIN… I know).

    She came onto the show with exactly this intent. It was a win-win for the Trump campaign to pull this kind of bullshit. They’re all so fucking rotten.

  • On the House floor, Republicans gag mentions of Trump’s conviction
  • The end of the article is great:

    For his part, Mr. Raskin has tried to come up with creative ways to invoke Mr. Trump’s criminal cases without running afoul of the ruling.

    During a recent floor speech, he made reference to an “unmentionable American felon, one of 19 million in the country” and an “unrepentant and anonymous convicted felon from New York” without mentioning the former president by name. He referred to Mr. Trump’s hush-money case as “the trial whose very existence must be sent down the Orwellian memory hole to save someone’s hurt feelings.”

    In the interview, he noted that no rule could erase the facts of Mr. Trump’s status as a felon.

    “I’m afraid the Republicans have now invited a contest for how creative we can be in talking about Donald Trump’s criminal convictions without explicitly stating those words,” Mr. Raskin said.

  • Roger Stone Spills Trump’s Plan to Deny Election Loss Again
  • Website trying to get me to set up an account to read?

    Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative who served as an adviser to Donald Trump, was secretly recorded at Mar-a-Lago spilling the beans on the former president’s strategy to challenge the results of the 2024 election should he lose again.

    The self-described “dirty trickster” of right-wing politics unknowingly divulged the plan to liberal reporters Lauren Windsor and Ally Sammarco, who posed as Trump fans and covertly videotaped him at a “Catholics Prayer for Trump” event on March 19. The recordings were first reported by Rolling Stone.

    The remarkably candid conversation is just the latest released by Windsor and her left-leaning sting group, The Undercurrent, in recent weeks—and comes on the heels of headline-grabbing tapes that captured both Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, weighing in on a number of hot button culture war issues facing the court and the country.

    Stone, who was a key figure in Trump’s “Stop the Steal” efforts following the 2020 election, characterized his plan to challenge election results in 2024 with three pillars: “Lawyers, judges, technology.” He also bragged that the Trump campaign occupied strong “offensive footing” this time around.

    “In some states, it’ll be easier to stop. In other places it won’t,” Stone told Sammarco. “At least this time when they do it, you have a lawyer and a judge, his home phone number standing by so you can stop it,” apparently referring to the certification of 2024 results.

    “We made no preparations last time, none,” he added.

    Stone also tacitly endorsed storming the Capitol building after Sammarco told him she was at the insurrection.

    “That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have a more honest election.”

    Stone noted during the conversation that the Trump campaign is attempting to change state voting laws and plans to immediately file a number of lawsuits seeking to change the results should the former president lose again, as Trump allies did in Michigan and several other states in 2020.

    “We should be suing in a half a dozen places,” Stone said of the Michigan lawsuit, adding that the RNC’s war chest would be tapped to fund the various lawsuits.

    The Trump campaign launched 62 lawsuits contesting the results of the election across the country in 2020. However, most were quickly dismissed or dropped due to a lack of standing or evidence, according to Bloomberg Law.

    Stone told Windsor that the Trump campaign even has governors who are ready to contest this November’s election results—though he qualified, candidly, that there “aren’t many” willing to put their reputation on the line in service of the former president.

    Former Obama fundraiser disenchanted with Dems flips to Trump: Biden 'asleep at the wheel'
  • Weirdest shit I’ve seen in a minute. I watched the video and she seems to be blaming Biden for a lack of shopping malls in the Bay Area. WTF?? And she says she fundraised for Obama but facts around that are quite sparse.

    She is on TV to get people to buy the stupid shit she won in her divorce from OG google coder Scott Hassan. I’m certain of it.

    Also I don’t know her but she acts like an animatronic in that video. Very very weird. But Fox News gets pretty hard for this kind of bullshit, so fuck it.

  • “Where did all the money go?”: Star Wars Fans Can’t Believe Disney Spent Twice the Money as Godzilla Minus One to Make Each Episode of The Acolyte
  • First of all… This is the most bloated, ChatGPT article ever.

    Second. Godzilla Minus One just looks OKAY. Let’s not kid ourselves here. When half your story takes place in very simple, small sets, and another 40% can be shot in a water sound stage or on the open water with little set design needed, no shit it’s gonna save you a lot of money.

    Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something? They take huge teams to conceive of and dress them. And then you’ve got the volume stages where not only are you spending a fuckload to rent out for the day, but your CG artists have to generate those environments ahead of time.

    Articles like these are fucking idiotic.

    [Meta] What shows do we want to talk about?

    Hey y’all,

    Since taking the reigns on this community, I’ve essentially been continuing with weekly episode discussions for the shows I already saw people engaging with. But as new ones release, I’m not sure how to gauge the level of interest (Strange Planet, for example).

    How are we feeling about the upcoming schedule? The Changeling dropped three episodes recently, we’ve got The Morning Show’s third season arriving this week… should I create threads for these?
