Telling the truth about him doesn't suit MSM owners' desire for right-wing swing... And btw, the orange on his face really doesn't go well with the lavender on his head imo 😕

I don't pay much attention to polls. I think it's gonna be more like France, w/ MSM still proclaiming on the morning of election that right would win & then looking at a left/middle landslide later in the day. Looking at Lands' 25 pt win in AL, Moms4Lib defeated at school boards, across U.S., etc.

I'm not so sure the oligarch-owners are allowing MSM to be "free" now... I think, like the French oligarch-owned media pulled for LePen and the right, U.S. oligarchs imagine an authoritarian dictatorship will be better for them.

I think pretty much every sugar sub that's been popular at various points in my lifetime has ultimately been linked to cancer or other dire health impacts--so they kinda are poison. Some of the pure sweeteners like raw honey etc are healthier but I'm guessing don't meet a no calorie goal you have?

UBI is proof that we do not actually care about evidence when it comes to policy, because I struggle to find a better example of something so consistently shown to be beneficial and yet it’s never even brought up as a serious option outside of endless pilot programs that all tell us the same thing

In grad school long ago I was part of big LEAA study on crime & part of the crime stats lit survey. Media & law enforcement changed reporting in '50's from probability of victimhood for each crime to gross nos. Except specific grps & areas, the probability hasn't changed in 100+ yrs. Made up problem

I'm a little fascinated that all the angst over antitrust is directed only at her with zero credit to the DOJ for reviving the antitrust division and bringing hundreds of antitrust cases under Garland's tenure.

Around French election, European press had some interesting articles on the oligarch-owned Fr media & why they pushed the LePen winning slant thru election morning & compared to U.S. oligarch-owned media. I thought it was an apt comparison. I don't expect anything else from them.
