‘“When the chairman allowed the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia to attack another members’ eyelashes or her personal appearance, the whole meeting descended at that point,” he said.’

GOP now complaining elbows were thrown when they ruled elbows aren’t fouls. Stop whining.

There is a deep lesson here: When you connect people through technology with no filters, you get unfiltered behavior. You didn’t cause the behavior, but, it’s now a blocker for your connecting-humanity project.

What, I cannot emphasize enough, the actual fuck.

Alito's house was flying a "Stop the Steal" upside-down flag between Jan 6 and Biden's inauguration?

This whole story confirms all by suspicions about Elon. He’s a chaos agent. If the Board fired him it would do nothing but good for the company. (It won’t, it’s in his pocket.)

Gosh. Why would GOP election deniers want new laws that will create chaos and court challenges in the upcoming Presidential election? It’s a deep mystery!

Nothing says “right on the verge of victory” like suddenly firing your defense minister and long time ally.

“Less prepared now than in 2020” to counter these threats — not great.

The NYT Editorial Board has lost the plot. Free speech has NEVER meant freedom from social consequences. Indeed, shunning IS the use of freedom of speech & freedom of association to counter shameful points of view. How else does the NYT think things work?

Again: Zero named witnesses for the existence of a flyer at any time other than during this video from a propaganda organization.

Lots of witnesses say they never saw any flyers there.

Org refuses to bring any witness forward. Republicans in Congress use it as fodder anyway.

Sounds like a familiar playbook, doesn’t it?

@evargastv: “But clearly, if you're taking out of the book, it's because it's untrue.”

Noem: “I’ve given you my answer. No, and that's not the answer. I would say that, you know, I would say that, you know, this is something that I asked to have adjusted, and have the content and that name removed and that is — that is truly what the action has been.”
