A kid got hit on his bike in my community recently. I'm not sure of the outcome. What is the town doing about it? The local police are stopping kids and giving them fines for not wearing helmets...

You're right. I'm giving the clowns too much credit.

They got $50k sign on. They started with a years earnings. Wonder if the motivation for that is a situation exactly like this?

Holy non sequitur. That argument might make some sense if he was an engineer or something. You don't need any education to be a podcaster. Just start yapping.

I'm sure conservatives could get involved in some subjects... I have yet to meet a conservative with a rudimentary understanding of statistics. Shit, I think that's a requirement for being conservative.

I think they completely fucked up by going after the rioters. In my opinion, every one of them has an ironclad defense. Imagine for a second that, instead of living in a fox News fantasy world where up is down and the sky is orange, they just lived under a rock for 4 years and lean right:

The president they voted for told them the election was stolen. They're just pions. He has access to intel that they do not. Who are they to question his claim? He's the fuckin president! The left must be stealing the election!

In the fantasy where that is true, storming the capitol kind of is the correct move. They cut off the wrong end of the snake.

That was a movie reference to her doppelganger.

I've thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.

Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I'm surprised that's not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.

He likes that it takes 10x longer to read everything he writes.

Could turn facial recognition back on them...

Guess we'll just have to stick to throwing sandwiches at them.
