The central figure in Trump's push to silence Kimmel et al is now in full damage control, trying to rewrite the history of what just happened, while offloading onto Democrats blame for his unconstitutional campaign of censorship.

Rep. Josh Schriver, the Republican currently pushing to ban porn in Michigan, used his email to register for account on the adult site Fling, the “world’s best casual personals for adult dating, sex, and swingers.”

Mr. "The Mouth and Anus Are Not Sex Organs" may have some explaining to do.

Why does anyone take this hack seriously? He's just another "little Eichmann" trying to pretend that he was really one of the good guys all along. Don't buy it.

Hanania now recognizes that platforms have a 1A right to refuse to carry Nazi shit (good) but pretends he wasn't responsible for pushing the "positive right" of "freedom of reach" he now rejects.

Hanania has never acknowledged acknowledged his own Nazi past. It would be one thing if he had recanted, as George Wallace once did. Instead, he's presenting himself as just another reasonable white guy who's been deeply concerned about neo-Nazis all along. Bullshit.

Hanania continues to rebrand as a serious person. He's also the guy whose 2019 study claimed that Twitter was 21x more likely to "censor" "conservatives," 14 of which were literal Nazis, as he himself had been. That study was cited endlessly to prove that social media were systematically biased...

A note to Europeans:

Telling an American in 2025 that your dream is to move to the USA is like telling a German in 1933 that your dream is to move to Germany.

I will assume you're either a fascist, or an idiot.

Dems, this isn't that hard. Trump is (1) incompetent and (2) only about enriching himself and his cronies. Anything coming out of his mouth is an attempt to distract from (1) and (2). Repeat as needed.

"So, we're balancing the equities here. On the one side, 300,000 people unlawfully deported to face torture and death before we read the statute that says they should be allowed to stay. On the other side, Trump gets what he wants. Seems a clear case. Kill them." You can see why they didn't explain

Seems like the first public response to Trump's "Compact" other than UT's Board of Regents Chair shouting how "honored" he was to be on the list.

This is the correct answer, FWIW.
