In 2008, Kirchick wrote about newsletters that contained homophobic, conspiratorial and racist material, published under the name of Texas Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. The story again became prominent in the 2012 presidential election.
. . . Immediately after U.S. Army soldier Chelsea Manning’s July 30, 2013 court-martial conviction of, among other charges, violations of the Espionage Act, Kirchick wrote in the Daily News that Manning was “lucky not to be headed to the electric chair.”
Sounds like The Atlantic fucked up.

politics @lemmy.world•McConnell Aide Finally Cornered on Why There’s No Video of Senator - The senator’s team has remained astonishingly tight-lipped about their boss’s health.
32·15 hours agoSpokesperson Robert Steurer, 59, who has worked on McConnell’s team for more than two decades, refused to answer questions from independent journalist Nicholas Ballasy on two separate occasions on Wednesday.
Ballasy uploaded video of both encounters to X. The latest features Steurer, who stands to earn more than $226,000 this year from his role on McConnell’s team, simply walking away from the camera as Ballasy asks about a possible video statement from his boss.
Ballasy move.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump complains E. Jean Carroll did a 'bait-and-switch' by putting her money in a retirement account keyed to the stock market
2·19 hours agoIf I was in the press corps, that’s the first question I’d ask. “Predisent Trump, you were recently forced to pay 5 million dollars to E. Jean Carroll for her claim that you raped her. How do you respond to that?”
Whatever he said would have to be worth another 100 million or something.

The Trump-Epstein Files™@lemmy.world•Senate unanimously passes resolution opposing pardon for Ghislaine MaxwellEnglish
63·1 day agoAlthough Senate resolutions like these are non-binding and symbolic, Rosen’s office noted in a news release in February when she introduced the measure that the resolution was “designed to put the Senate on record opposing the prospect” of Donald Trump of granting a pardon or clemency to Maxwell.
“It’s frankly horrifying that Trump would entertain the idea of clemency for even a second for a convicted sex trafficker,” Rosen said in a floor speech on Wednesday.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do americans living in Red States really despise american living in Blue States?
4·2 days agoIt’s a multi-layered answer as you can see. Typically in-person, no although most people don’t want to go to NY, for example, they don’t mind it being there or it being NY.
Collectively, they become tools of rightwing propaganda and eventually vote against blue states that, again, personally they don’t have any real problems with.
A third level is the chuds who believe fox news and newsmax etc etc and yes they are brainwashed cultist idiots whose own family are embarrassed by them. They are numerous in red state areas. Efforts to discuss any of the talking points are unsuccessful. Occasionally, a religious argument will carry some progressive element, but it’s few and far between.



















Welp. That’s enough interwebs for today.
