I have absolutely no interest in your delusional self promotion. Go away.

Well, by your logic those 7 million people were just too lazy to not get sick.

Look at his profile pic. All he needs is a pair of Oakleys and an F-150 and he's indistinguishable from every other MAGA asshole.

Black people fucking DIED to win the right to vote and here you are, Mr. Smug White Asshole, telling them they're just "lazy."

Go away. Everyone in this comment thread hates you.

Calling people "lazy" who have legitimate obstacles to obtaining (and paying for) difficult-to-get paperwork is straight out of the MAGA playbook.

And yet the MAGAts gobble it up.

I used to really like Brian Stelter until he made a cruel Parkinson’s joke at Biden’s expense. Now I don’t trust a single thing he says.

Then why are you defending his voter suppression law?

He totally is. He’s actually defending voter suppression laws.

People will. The thing about groups that are traditionally disenfranchised is that they are really, really good about overcoming those barriers. That doesn’t make it right, and I don’t know why you are defending it.

Wait til he finds out his REAL ID won’t work. Or the birth certificate his parents got at the hospital isn’t certified and won’t work. Or his new address invalidated his registration. (He won’t care that his wife can’t vote because he is an angry incel who doesn’t have one.)

You idiot. You dolt. You absolute moron.

This is not about ID. It’s about the types of ID that are acceptable (hint: not many) and the hoops people have to jump through to register, cast a ballot, and remain registered.

Not to mention all the crap in the bill unrelated to ID.

God, you’re stupid.

Some twit correspondent on MSNow referred to it as a “voter ID bill” last week, completely overlooking all the other aspects that make it so much worse.

I wish one of these press conference attendees (I refuse to think of them as "journalists" because most of them are just access sycophants) would have the courage to ask him, "When was the last time you drank alcohol?"

Awww, that made me sad so I just followed you. I love complaining!

And he will continue to lie about it despite evidence to the contrary. MAGA will believe him. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Yeah, but it's an ideal way to feign concern while totally foisting off responsibility onto everyone else.

This is what they do. They offer up logical, simplistic explanations for problems ("Just eat better!" "Just exercise!") and totally skip over the complexities involved in actually implementing the solutions.

Yeah, I thought at the time that the move might backfire and actually begin to rid us of the scourge of access journalism.

He needs something better. The Medal of Freedom has been completely sullied and Marc is too good to have to share the honor with the likes of Rush Limbaugh.

Thank you for this thread; I know you said this is your first time live posting, but you did an awesome job. Really appreciate your work.

Every single one of those people holding up those signs needs to be identified, exposed, and publicly shamed for the rest of their lives.

That's a really compassionate take and you are probably right.

No one's forcing anyone to comment. If you don't have time to watch, don't. Trust me, no one is holding their breath waiting for your opinion.

If you have time to comment, you have time to watch what you're commenting on. You sound like the guy who comes onto a 100-comment thread and says "I haven't had time to read the comments but MY take is so original and incisive I expect everyone to drop what they're doing and read it!"
