I am picking up a Keanu Reeves vibe. Defo.

And Benjamin Netanyahu brags in Hebrew to election audiences about how successfully he has “Manipulated” the US press and public opinion. Will there be apologies to Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes 🤮🤮🤮(Even a stopped clock is right twice a day) and Mark Rufalo (The Ellisons suck, and they happen to be Jewish, and they are putting Bari Weiss in charge to be racist towards Muslims like this, and since Dr El Sayed is brown, it really, really smacks of color prejudice, so block the Paramount Warner merger on antitrust grounds!) and Candace Owens 🤮🤮🤮and the KKK for saying what Bibi brags is the truth? Not bloody likely, says Eliza Doolittle.

Why isn’t Ms Weiss (Weiss!) going after Mike Collins in Georgia, who is running an antisemitic campaign against handsome Jon Ossoff, a light to the nations? Any faith group or “ethnicity” (I don’t believe in “ethnicities” for sociological reasons, just people who form groups) ought to be proud of Senator Ossoff, who has a sterling record for the past 4 years. He doesn’t take bribes, he doesn’t curse, he doesn’t smoke or drink, he doesn’t sexually harass, I mean, Bari, maybe you should consider proposing to him? (I know, I know, but I want to play Yenta). He needs a good companion, and you could do a lot worse, like that spoiled rich brat Larry Ellison.

Ossoff's married to an OB-GYN, IIRC, and has two kids.

And even if he weren't, Bari's probably not his type.

OK. If you saw Loomer and MTG fighting, which one would you give the claw hammer to and which one would you hand the chainsaw?

Chemical's avatar

Give MTG the claw hammer. She looks physically stronger than Loomer, and I want it to be a good fight. I still think MTG with a hammer beats Chainsaw Loomer, but Loomer gets a good gash in.

“[A] risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack.” They’re journamalisming themselves!

Brilliant, as always.

Ughhh! Stop it already CBS and your MAGA adjacent newsroom.

Warren's avatar

Nope. David bought that network, and he overpaid for the Free Press, just to give Larry something to get him out of the house and maybe marry Bari (I know, I know, but David obviously thinks she can change her orientation), and The Ellisons are going to get their money’s worth.

" and the intensely negative reaction to CBS’s nonsense article seems to be proof of that."

woopsie...Xitter deleted that link

No one has ever popped Loomer upside her head, have they? She wouldn’t shoot her virtual mouth off like that if she knew there would be consequences.

Warren's avatar

👍👍👍 Good for the guy who threw the punch!

belfryo's avatar

Like the last line of the Flannery O'Connor story "A Good man is Hard to Find"

"She would have been a good woman, if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

EyeQueue's avatar

OMG. I think about this a lot.

belfryo's avatar

(:

I LOVE O'Connor's short stories...They are SO ambiguous and DARK...

EyeQueue's avatar

YES! They really are.

New political ad in Texas says that Communist China is buying up land and that Talarico is for China. So racist. And ignoring how Trump let Tiktok continue business despite security concerns.

Chemical's avatar

Half the political ads here since the primary were "James Talarico is gay, and you're gay if you vote for Talarico"

Janet Jensen's avatar

Great analysis. Unbelievable what people will believe based on innuendo and dog whistles.

belfryo's avatar

The GOOD news is that this smear attempt apparently didn't "land"...

CBS and the other 'centrist' (Trojan Horse rw) media think whatever is left of their viewership are as pig fucking ignorant as MAGA filth...

belfryo's avatar

CBS JAQing off

Men like Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed really scare the living daylights out of MAGA. They are terrified.

Makes them wish they had some real men and women instead of the bootlickers in the cabinet.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

They have two things: 1. their policies are popular, and 2. they aren't scary. That torpedoes pretty much all the MAGA platform except Black racism, trans/gay-phobia and misogyny.

Bari Weis is "just asking the question here".

I have an answer, but it's not appropriate for polite company.

Someone showed me some 'greatest hits' Hasan Piker clips from his podcast because I had admitted complete ignorance of what he was all about. What's the buzz? You'd think he was Charlie Manson or something.

Here he is smoking a fuckton of weed like a common Tommy Chong. Not bad.

Look at that....he has a sense of humor and sits around running his mouth with some friends. Some trash talk about lots of stuff like any common American guy does once he gets lit. What's the problem?

Oh....here it is....I get it now. He's wants us to stop financing and supplying genocide. Now I know why they hate him. That and the Muslim thing. RWNJs can't stand that kind of stuff.

Oh! He thinks healthcare for all is a desirable policy goal! He thinks the Iran war is bad! He wants some childcare for everyone and living wages for families. Yeah, I can see why they think he's a wizard and needs to be burned. How else to explain someone with a podcast having this much influence and power?

Or maybe it's just the weed.

Fifth Dentist's avatar

So a darker-skinned Joe Rogan who is anti-genocide?

Chemical's avatar

I've watched a few of Hasan Piker's videos, but I never saw him use marijuana in them. Islam prohibits use of intoxicants, so if true, then he isn't a very good Muslim.

My personal opinion of Hasan Piker is that he isn't a serious political commentator. He's a Twitch streamer, and he has the following he does because he's entertaining to watch. He's a staunch liberal and mostly advocates for left leaning policy, but on occasion he does have some bad opinions, or is just wrong about shit.

Nobody is perfect. He's not ideal, but I would much rather have him on our side than any of these right-wingers.

belfryo's avatar

I agree with most of his positions but he personally annoys the living fuck out of me...He's one of those people who doesn't look into the camera, he talks WAYYYY too fucking fast and his show is ALL about engaging with comments as they come through...As an ADHD person myself, I need content WAYYYY more organized and dialed back...

gimme BTC and Jack Cocchiarella every time

Chemical's avatar

My personal favorite political commentator is Jamelle Bouie. He's cool, calm, and collected. Really chill dude. If there's anyone who is the opposite of clickbait, it's him.

belfryo's avatar

Oooh!

I'll check him out...!

Chemical's avatar

The thing that really gets me about Jamelle Bouie is that he actually works for the New York Times. Like when in the hell did NYT start employing sensible people?

belfryo's avatar

I think its the same logic that MSNBC employs by keeping Maddow and O'Donnell in order to keep their 'liberal' bona fides reading as legit...Remember that MSNBC was the network that canned Keith Olberman and Medhi Hasan...

Hasan is like Obi Wan after DV killed him...Stronger than before! With Zeteo et al

Linoleum von Curmudgeon, Esq.'s avatar

Oh fuck! I was smoking the weed when I was watching it and somehow projected a pile of my own stuff onto Hasan as if I was a common RWNJ pissant. I do apologize and regret my mistake but I don’t regret the weed.

Chemical's avatar

I've never used it but perhaps I would like to try it one day.

Fox news knows very little scares their geriatric bigot audience than a young brown man with a joint, coming to steal their daughters and convert them to communism and free love.

So they've made him Fox News Public Enemy #1. They are running bits about him every hour.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

It's the audience size. He has a huge following and they watch every day.

SethTriggs's avatar

It's all they have, but it's very effective as it dovetails nicely with sadopopulism...the tactical nuclear weapon of politics.

Don't forget, Weiss' corporate owners want and need Republicans to win so that they can get those juicy, juicy Republican tax cuts. Not to mention the streamlined profit-gobbling merger approvals.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

"sadopopulism...the tactical nuclear weapon of politics" ... uh ... what's the strategic nuclear weapon of politics?

SethTriggs's avatar

Apathy in the populace.

R. Riddle's avatar

Someone should convince Ellison that Paramount needs some very large data centers in Texas and other red states.

James's avatar

This tax cuts can't have much juice left in 'em anymore. They've already sucked everybody else dry.
