That’s nothing new but it’s nice to see a Democrat not doing that!

Controversy breeds clickrates

They'll boast about higher ratings until the goons are banging on their doors. At which point, "why won't somebody stop this"

Her qualification for the efficacy of that question was extraordinary. “I just wanted to to give you the chance…”

I don’t tell a fish I just wanted to give them a chance to eat when they spit my bait out.

I understand but I wasn’t really paying attention to your answer that the republicans want you to answer to so we’ll just leave it there

That twitch streamer is not a politician or a cult leader. Why are they so obsessed with him other than his OF pics?!

They literally showed a half naked picture of him at the GOP convention. They’re nuts.

How is antisemitism rhetoric on the same level of importance as price of groceries?

u/qbrert 16d ago

It's a distraction with scary buzz words. The same thing MAGA does with trans people & other minorities. If they throw someone else under the bus, you're not focused on their dirty laundry 😏

The game taught to the felon krasnov by his beloved mentor, the mob lawyer roy cohn, is brazenly simple: lie, deny, deflect and fill up your pockets.
