Masters Golf Tournament - an LIV event

I sat down to watch the Masters Golf Tournament but just ended up turning it off. The Augusta National Golf Event, while a worldwide event, always instilled patriotic pride in me that our country would host such a great event with total class. Now, watching a bunch of money-grubbing sellouts to Saudi Arabia playing the course just makes me sick. This used to be all PGA players. Now, who the hell knows what country these dudes are loyal to.

"Fact-checking" is a feeble, inadequate way to respond to racist, antisemitic incitement

Great article about the state of journalism in a gaslighted society.

Journalists should be actively confronting Trump and others with their lies at every opportunity. They should deny liars opportunities to use the media – particularly live media — to spread lies. They should caveat every statement known liars make – not just the provably false ones – with the fact that they lie all the time.

The “why” behind the lie is even more important than the lie itself, as I argued here.

That’s especially the case because Republican lies about elections are calculated, democracy-killing lies. And that needs to be made very clear in every story about them — or journalists are not really telling their viewers and readers what they need to know.

Trump lied compulsively, yes, but also intentionally, and leaving those intentions unstated is bad journalism.

Are we still paying for trump's secret service?

And if so, doesn't it defy logic? The SS was always there for former Presidents to protect them from threats by adversaries. Orange Vomit invites his adversaries to dinners and probably hands them classified documents at the same time. We need the SS to protect our country from trump.
