Well I'd have expected the entire legacy media establishment, not to mention podcasters and influencers, to also understand we are at war and to not defend Iran or attack the president or any of that. But I guess I was wrong....
Joseph Massey@jmasseypoet

Trump’s inability to take criticism without crashing out was always to be expected, but we’re at war. How do his advisors work around that personality trait? How easily is someone like that manipulated? I thought he would have it in him to act presidential during a crisis, but I was wrong.

@realsashastone Winning the presidency should mean you act as though you are serving all Americans, not just those who voted for you, and you treat all Americans with dignity and respect.

Winning the presidency shouldn't mean you are on trial every single day you are serving the people. That should not be the job.

@realsashastone So since you so love DT, why not here talk about what you love about the Iran War, and then the mass deportation project, and his hot mic preference for war spending over daycare or healthcare, and his stewardship over the economy, and his threats on NATO. You're a fan, right?

Yes, he's the thing standing in the way of absolute power by the Left. The Right will have to rebuild, and maybe in 20 years, they will regain power like the Left has. Maybe.
mediumawesome@GLouise01

@realsashastone So you're saying Trump was only a temporary obstacle To the establishment On both sides

@jbarro She's out for one reason. Because Trump didn't want her testifying before congress under oath on April 14. Can they still call her in?

According to the Daily Mail, "it is believed that Bondi and Swalwell have a friendly relationship." ... Really? (Believed by whom?) Why would they even know each other?
Elana Schor@eschor

!!! "Trump is also frustrated with Bondi because he believes she may have alerted California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell to an effort by the administration to release files from an investigation into his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy" (Daily Mail had 1st)

@realsashastone It isn't because it's Trump. It's because there was no attempt to explain the war, or sell it, and no involvement of congress. And because no one seems to understand their goals and hazards. Hegseth is a dangerous embarrassment. That's why the poll #s are terrible.

YouGov measures the media's influence. So what this tells me is that legacy media is dumping bad news about the war on the public, which is kind of interesting. For Bush and other leaders, they mostly praised them until things went south. With Trump, it was instant.

Play Misty for Me was great. Fatal Attraction is kind of a rip-off. But what's really great about it is the raw filmmaking - the hand-held camera, the improvisational aspect of it, low tech...good stuff. Miss that.

I also hope Tulsi does not resign, but in her case, I would hope she doesn't throw Trump under the bus as Joe Kent did. She might. I hope not.

If you think that Charlie Kirk would have stopped Trump from going to war in Iran then you're an idiot. Trump does whatever he wants to do and has loyalty to no one.

@Hotshot_Movie On the other hand, "The Descendants" by Kari Hart Hemmings which was made into a strong movie, is an even better book.

When I was working on Sideways (which was adapted from a book), I asked the director, Alexander if the book were any good. "No it sucks. You don't adapt great books. You adapt shitty books that have an interesting premise, or a kernel of something that you can exploit and improve. Good books don't make good movies. You have to build a screenplay from the ground up. And nobody is gonna be mad at me for changing the details of a Rex Pickett novel. But God help you if you try to change 2 words in the Lord of the Rings." Brilliant dude.

@realsashastone Totally agree with this quote from Ben Mankiewicz, and hadn't seen it. Thanks for sharing.

Both of these folks are wrong. it mocks the revolutionaries but not the revolution. It's dead serious about that. They don't notice on the Left because it reflects their worldview but it sees this country as run by fascists and racists.
Ben Mankiewicz@BenMank77

Kyle, I just disagree. Everyone looked nuts. After I got over the shock of the politics - of the “wait, these are the people I’m supposed to be rooting for?” - it became this deeply moving, funny movie about dads & daughters, growing up, and kids becoming who they are.

@realsashastone "Still on the Epstein files"?? You like having the names of powerful men redacted, and having a pardon dangled in front of the person who knows every spec of dirt on everyone?

So my friend Jeff Wells is the canary in the coal mine who watches MS-Now. So I guess they're still on the Epstein Files. That is remarkable.

@realsashastone MAGA wanted the Epstein files released, and now MTG and Thomas Massie along with Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace are pushing for it. Everyone - not just Democrats - want everything released, and only paid influencers like you are blaming politics.

If Trump was doing a terrible job the Democrats would not need the Epstein Files to bring him down. So I guess it's a back-handed compliment.

@realsashastone That's just not true. He certainly did campaign on no new wars, did so over and over, and castigated Bush and the Neo-cons for the Iraq War, and bragged that he entered no wars in his first term.

Someone should tell Joe Rogan that Trump did not campaign on no forever wars. He campaigned on peace through strength. Prevent the wars (as with Ukraine) but don't back down from a threat or a fight. thehill.com/homenews/media…
