I just think without those sources willing to go on the record, whereas Kelly is no willing to do so, allows the MAGA types to focus only on that part of the article and ignore everything else. Doesn’t help having her sister be a Trump fan and say he really cared (even if she didn’t dispute the lack of payment and she wasn’t in the room for the Mexican comment)

I just think they needed someone, anyone to go on record. Using that as the lead, with her sister apparently still a big Trump fan, gives them an opportunity to attack the credibility of only the lead and ignore the other 90% of the article
Thankfully Kelly also went on record with The NY Times and agreed to be recorded so that article is forcing the fascist accusations to the forefront

“… First King George III. Now Sir Keir Starmer.
Citing the American revolution while misspelling “Britian”, Donald Trump’s campaign has filed an extraordinary complaint against the UK’s Labour party for what it claims is “interference” in the US presidential election.
The Trump campaign alleged that in recent weeks, Labour recruited and sent party members to campaign for his opponent, Kamala Harris, in critical battleground states in a bid to influence the 5 November election.
“When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them,” says a letter from Trump’s legal team to the Federal Election Commission in Washington.
“This past week marked the 243 anniversary of the surrender of British forces at the Battle of Yorktown, a military victory that ensured that the United States would be politically independent of Great Britian” – an incorrect rendering of “Britain”.
It is understood that volunteers are campaigning in the US in their own personal time, rather in their capacity working for the the Labour party.
The letter goes on to request an immediate investigation into “blatant foreign interference” in the election in the form of “apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the United Kingdom” and accepted by Harris’s campaign committee. …”

There is apparently an exemption for foreign nationals as volunteers but this idea is not a good look, IMO. I want Harris to win but I don’t see how this would be helpful.“… First King George III. Now Sir Keir Starmer.

It should be free. Trump would get Mexico to pay for it.
Sorry guys. I hope like hell Trump loses in a landslide, but this one doesn't pass the smell test.
(My opinion doesn't matter and the article will certainly get its desired outcome because misinformation/disinformation terms are only applied in one direction)
You can't really believe that the two sides are on equal footing when it comes to disinformation can you?

Anytime anyone says something like "I don't like Trump but.... or I hope like hell Trump loses in a landslide, but..."
they are lying. Ignore everything said before the word "but."

Tack on the Joe Rogan fandom and desire to appear impartial, and champion the 'bo-sides' nonsense. Yeah, they're already seen, eyes wide open.

Did you read the story in The Atlantic (gift link provided on this board) or the subsequent interview with John Kelly in the NYT (gift link provided) that includes audio of Kelly?
NYT GIFT Link —> With Election Looming, John Kelly Speaks Out on Trump
Atlantic GIFT LINK --> Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’
Dumb question maybe, but isn't it late? Less than two weeks away, for planning purposes wouldn't it have been better to have this big dump of cash earlier in the process?
What are the big expenditures right now? Or what's left as far as expenditures? I assume TV ads and campaign stops? Surely canvassing organization and mailers are already baked in?

Awful suspicious that this dropped on a Taco Tuesday don't you think?"It doesn't cost $60,000 to bury a fucking Mexican. Don't pay it" - Donald Trump
Kind of think that needs some air time in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and NC
Trump screamed "It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!" after getting bill for murdered US soldier's funeral: report - National Zero
In the middle of a long sequel to the infamous September 2020 “Suckers and Losers” report, the Atlantic details a pretty fucking sick and cruel incident of how convicted felon former President Trump reacted when handed the bill for murdered US soldier Vanessa Guillen‘s funeral after telling her...nationalzero.com
Anyway, it sounds like just another Tuesday in the Trump campaign.

Wow at that Kelly interview.... damn. Secondhand summaries posted on Twitter are one thing. Reading/hearing Kelly's exact words is quite another.

That's fair. He's usually pretty negative though so it's an interesting position for him given his history of complaining and criticizing.
