"How is he less qualified than an economist?"

Okay....

1. He's not an economist.
2. He doesn't understand data
3. He has no fidelity to truth
4. He has a pre-determined agenda
5. Most economists weren't heroin addicts who skated by on their family name and wealth....

I mean, that's not hard.

But Jimmy Kimmel telling jokes is a national crisis?

Every breath they take is in bad faith.

Yes, the "extremism" of the left is...people who are tolerant of trans people? Who would allow trans people a choice of bathrooms and permission to compete in sports with the gender they identify with?

And meanwhile card carrying "Republicans" identify with Hitler and pine for the gas chambers...

When this is done to protect authoritarian abuses, Meta is fine.

When this was done to protect peoples' lives in a global pandemic or protect our democracy from malicious foreign actors, Meta are victims.

Literally the f#cking worst human beings on the planet.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

But he's not wrong. His insistence on denying office to an elected Dem representative, and denying those citizens representation, is unquestionably a manufactured partisan thing.

It's an unconstitutional, illegal, manufactured partisan thing!

And touching. Oliver appears to be choked up when recounting TFP's attempts to undermine reports of child starvation.

It's astonishing how docile, subservient - and really, just wrong - our media has become. 😕

After a generation of spewing bile to America's children, Meta will now take absolutely inadequate measures to regulate the noxious sledge they promote to kids.

Kara Swisher already wrote this!🙂

"But Silverman proposes an additional explanation for Musk’s radicalization, offering a rationale that helps explain not only why Musk went for Trump, but why so many of his contemporaries did as well. The short version is: greed."

PRO TIP: If you want the Nobel Peace Prize, you might not wanna kidnap fathers, zip-tie kids, shoot priests, rip moms from carpool lines, and terrorize entire otherwise peaceful cities.

Oh yeah, and release the Epstein files.

She is! In fact, she's so concerned, she goes out of her way to toe the authoritarian party line by blaming the shutdown on...a party presently controlling no branch of government.

Haha. Yes, yes...at the ol' oil pump. It's always in gallons when I pump my oil there. 🤣

Wait, so you're telling me that instigating a civil war in the world's previously most stable democracy and murdering civilians in international waters *doesn't* win you the Nobel Peace Prize?

Then who even wants it?

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Repeat this daily:

- They will let you know what crimes they've committed through their wild accusations.

- They will show you how they should be treated, through their treatment of others.

- They will tell you what govn't functions terrify them the most, through their corruption and sabotage.

Let's be perfectly clear. Someone who talks like this was never on "our side."

He thinks, Stalin wasn't all bad. He thinks avoiding nuclear war was a magic trick. He thinks laments that peace isn't perfect.

This is not an American. This is someone even someone attached to reality.
