Do you have a source for those? I like to make sure I fully understand facts and context before repeating something. I did a DuckDuckGo search and didn't really see anything about it.

Well, he's right that no one is talking about it at least.

Cool. Guy's got 246k subscribers on YouTube, too. That's pretty serious.

They don't even *try* to understand. Once they've staked out their position, they start digging in, and then they're entrenched. They're *so* afraid of losing face and having to admit they're wrong.

You may already be familiar, but if not, get to know PragerU, the Trump-endorsed replacement for PBS...

Holy shit. Has anyone read through the comments on that video? πŸ˜†They used to try and hide their racism. It's *totally* out in the open now.

I have no problem with it in a lot of places, but I like to learn. Sometimes I see references to rules I hadn't known.

Just about anything other than raising your hand requires consent in this context. I CAN piss on the floor but I want your consent to get up and go to the restroom.

But now we're getting into philosophical debates...if I *call* myself a billionaire, it doesn't make me one. Evangelicals are not Christians if they don't actually embrace (and act on) his teachings. And "conservative Christian" is just an oxymoron.

....and *both* of the accounts that responded saying the series got worse were MAGAt trolls. Of course.

$200 million for the ballroom, at the expense of children and people around the world and this country who need help, many of whom have now died because of the greed of Trump and his supporters.

What is the rest of it costing us? It's an abomination and *taxpayers* are funding it.

They are "flooding the zone" with corruption, illegal acts, and acts of horror. The *goal* is so that we can't keep up and we feel overwhelmed and just give up.

In private group chat, Republican state lawmakers in Colorado made crude jokes about a Democratic colleague’s clothing The photo wasn’t just shared internally. Within an hour, it was posted online by an anonymous social media account with conservative followers.

Me too...must've been around the 4th, because I remember some people in the audience were apparently lighting bottle rockets and sending them in every direction, including at the stage, and Les stopped the show and took them to task with a few choice words.

^This account is a MAGAt, if it wasn't obvious. What it's implying is that they're going to cycle through tens of thousands of people and somehow that means it's going to cost less? Also, "slated for" is not the same as "actually happening". And even if it were, *who* are we deporting?

"Doesn't pass any smell test for even the average layman..."

The same kind of smell test that says farts are an indicator of viral transmission?
