‘As I write this, the Washington Post has published at least four articles about Obama’s “Cheesecake Factory” line, and zero articles about a new allegation of rape against Donald Trump, who has already been found liable for sexual assault.’

@heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social It is unbelievable what Trump gets away with. He commits crimes daily and even when convicted of a felony the stupid judge gave him no sentence not even probation.
@heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social I have seen Jamie Raskin on three or four times in the past few days talking about their request for special council and that they now have four or five women who have come forward and named names. Sounds like they have cooperating emails or some documentation of proof.

Not surprising. Bezos is part of the coup.
@heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social
Kind of annoyed about the cheesecake line and the other Obama stuff. We are at a real crossroad, and while it may be fun to bait the opposition feel like it sort of undermines the seriousness of the moment.
@mastodonmigration @heidilifeldman https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/jamisonfoser.bsky.social But that's what makes it to the news cycle. The quick takeaway is a) that he spoke at all, and b) that he pwned 47, which is important to his base. People who are more informed will go deeper, but for many, that's it. Obama had many good lines, but that's the one that got through the media filter.
@CassandraVert @heidilifeldman
Understood, but clowning around in order to 'break through' the mainstream media filter so that our discourse is about stupid nonsense, and not the true horrors that are really going on, kind of normalizes the horrors. It just does not seem like a time for levity. But, that's just an opinion. He certainly knows how to get attention, so maybe that's good.
@mastodonmigration @heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social And it wasn't very funny either ..
@garbageman @heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social
Yup. Obama has made a career of these snappy one liners, but there is a time and a place, and don't really think this is very helpful.
@mastodonmigration @garbageman @heidilifeldman @jamisonfoser.bsky.social
It wasn't particularly funny but what WAS funny was watching the magasphere melt down over it.
@heidilifeldman all the self-satisfying myth of the 4th pillar does not change
