"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

These are the same opinion.

2022: Women and children are property.

2026: Did we stutter?

"[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:

β€œWe will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.

I don't know about that, but I do know that leadership willing to lose money is generally leadership convinced they can make money elsewhere.

And that certainly says something about a company.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

everyone understands that the only reason you can post "Trump is a pedo" on any social media platform is because Section 230 exists, right?

A year ago I dunked on this, but the models have caught up to the hype.

My thought experiment is what if execution becomes free, just like the internet made distribution free?

The web put my posts and the NYT on equal footing. What happens when we're all on equal footing building software?

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

He made a fake ICE deportation tip line. Then a kindergarten teacher called. β€” The Washington Post A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the β€œbanality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

β€œThey tell him they call because they care about documentation, but β€œthat’s not why you’re doing it,” he said. β€œThat’s just the thing you’re telling yourself to make you feel better:

I wonder what the 15%-19% of these demographics who now disapprove of Trump since this time last year were smoking then?

He was previously president for four years. What made them think it would be any less of a disaster this time around?
