I’m not sure that’s true but there was the CPAC conference last week, which used to be for all conservatives but now is really just a 4 day MAGA/neo-fascist conference. Trump, Vance, and Musk all spoke and there were probably after parties and meetings with other speakers and attendees. Poland’s President Duda attended and met with Trump.

They still found time to beclown themselves with that “5 bullet points” email. But a lot of the White House press was covering CPAC and conferences are mostly boring.

When did it ever go cold? Russia's certainly bring addressed and is not leaving the spotlight any time soon.

the MSMSs which is complicit/and owned by right wingers, arnt going to report anything significantly bad of trump. all the news is almost always a distraction anywas, trump and elons gaffes, it was a plague on reddit, so much so i started to block those subs.

He's attacking the media so yeah….

Maybe the Great Tricktator has fired enough of them by now?

They weren't doing much for the first 3 weeks either. The closest to resistance they've gotten is the AP fighting the gulf of America bs. I don't feel like anything has changed, maybe it's the people or algorithm you get your news from.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

They (king trump/president musk) have been doing a lot in the first month, including the first 3 weeks...

Were you referencing another they?

The media (at large) has been running cover for his actions by diverting to tweets and vibe arguments, barely covering or analyzing the policy actions.

What algorithm is providing you news?

This is an aggregator that is useful.

Of all the things they could pick to fight, it’s this stupid gulf name distraction.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

That fight is primarily over their first amendment right to call it what they want without retribution from the government. The name change was a distraction but the first amendment threat is very real.

Murdoch is trying to figure out what to do.

I don't watch the news. Nukes flying yet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

To address the question seriously for a change, I think nukes are extremely unlikely because nations generally want to capture their enemies' people alive for their labor force (and also not annihilate claimable resources if they can help it).

At least, I hope I'm right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

No one has ever successfully attacked a major power across a full ocean moat. Logistics win the real war. I don't see how anyone attacks the USA without a total annihilation strategy, or from within like is happening now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Right, "from within" is how it's going... Grim.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You'll be the first to know. Or last?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm right on the edge of multiple major targets so I'll be seeing the news flash either way

What do you mean hot? I haven't noticed a crescendo

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

And what do we mean cold? I’d say it’s just as chaotic as it has been these past two months.
