Leftist Fairy Tale Hour

@Disengagejay84 @grok @mehdirhasan @ComicDaveSmith I was pleasantly surprised

@LeftyFairyTale @grok @mehdirhasan @ComicDaveSmith 🤣 at least you took the L and didn’t try to manipulate grok into giving you the answer you wanted

And Rogan believed him and endorsed him.

@grok @mehdirhasan @ComicDaveSmith Fair enough

Yes. Mehdi Hasan has criticized Democrat-led actions: - 2013 New Statesman: "Obama took the US into war with Libya in 2011 even though Gaddafi posed zero threat... Obama didn’t bother to ask Congress." Called it worse than Bush on war powers. - 2018 Intercept "Blowback" on Libya: Blamed 2011 NATO/Obama intervention for chaos, jihadist breeding ground, and UK terror blowback like Manchester bombing. - Drones: Guardian 2010 & multiple segments: Slammed Obama's expansion (6x Bush's) in Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan as "indiscriminate slaughter," extrajudicial killings. - Yemen: Pre-MSNBC consistent critic of US/Saudi war; admitted on X criticizing Dems on it; covered war crimes on his show. Evidence via his articles/videos.

@mehdirhasan @ComicDaveSmith @grok can you find any evidence of medhi criticizing democrat war actions in Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc?

Btw Dave, the difference between you and Joe is that you admit you got it wrong, you admit Trump screwed you and you have been viciously critical of him since. I think that's important. I'm glad you're not like Glenn Greenwald and you can own it. Joe should too. (Oh and re Biden/Harris in 2024, I - unlike you, Rogan, Glenn, etc with Trump - never claimed they would be antiwar, ever, the exact opposite, I slammed them for their genocide. I just said they'd be less worse than Trump and I stand sadly vindicated on that.)

@broadwaybabyto Do you have consistency on this issue or are you just another shill?

He did not have congressional approval to blow up boats in the Caribbean. He did not have congressional approval to invade Venezuela. He did not have congressional approval to bomb Iran. This is dictatorship. Impeach Trump now.

@isaiahrmartin @grok Please give this guy a list of the countries Obama took military action on without attaining congressional approval.

If Obama did this, they’d be demanding impeachment

@joshsorbe And for the 1 millionth rendition of is he stupid or just disingenuous?

The "keep politics out of sports" crowd sure had wildly different responses here. Pretty obvious why.

@axelloopcombo @wokemobfootball And?

@LeftyFairyTale @wokemobfootball she also constantly posts anti-ice and pro-palestine content on her ig story

This the same political party that was declaring her a traitor to the US for speaking out against Trump 36 hours ago.

@JamesSurowiecki Keep shadow boxing that straw man buddy

I honestly don't understand how anyone can watch and listen to Alysa Liu and still pretend that non-white immigrants/children of immigrants can't be truly American. She is a quintessential American girl, right down to her hair toss when she finished her routine, and it's awesome.

@proppat @grok @AntiquarianMuse @elonmusk That's fine. At least I understand the difference between income and wealth

@LeftyFairyTale @grok @AntiquarianMuse @elonmusk One would almost call you retarded

I will probably end up paying over $500B in taxes, inclusive of death

@wokemobfootball You found one post. Good fucking job buddy. I'll consult "the airbagged infantry" as the authority on all things right wing moving forward.

Learn to think critically before you try telling me I’m wrong you mouth breathing troglodytes

@TageForHart Nobody gives a fuck that she's woke.

HOLY SHIT REPUBLICANS ARE SO DUMB! One singular ounce of research and you would have found this interview. I swear to god you morons are addicted to being humiliated. Prop up Alysa Liu all you want! She has the same thoughts as Amber Glenn! I’m dying 😂😂😂

@Nguyen_anime3 Yes. Any more retarded questions?

Are you in tears because an Asian American whose dad is an immigrant won gold, and waved the American flag? Will you still think it’s “epic” when you realize the Oakland native is outspoken about immigrant rights and has attended protests?

@esjesjesj Nobody gives a shit. She stood respectfully for the flag.

Do you people not know she’s woke

@grok @AntiquarianMuse @elonmusk Why are you bringing up capital gains? There's no capital gains until the gain is realized. Again, this is completely irrelevant in terms of comparisons.

That's a valid point—comparing tax on wealth growth to income tax can indeed mix metrics, as critics (e.g., Tax Foundation, Cato) argue unrealized gains aren't "income" and taxing them could hinder investment. However, sources like ProPublica and Brookings use it to highlight systemic inequities, where capital gains face lower rates than wages. The debate centers on tax code design. What aspect concerns you most?

@grok @AntiquarianMuse @elonmusk The comparison is total apples to oranges. I would almost call it propagandist.

It's a fair critique—the standard effective tax rate is taxes paid over income, not wealth growth. However, analyses like ProPublica's use wealth accretion to highlight how unrealized gains (untaxed until sold) result in lower burdens for billionaires (e.g., Musk's ~3% on wealth rise vs. average 14-30% on income). This sparks debate on tax equity, as laws don't tax wealth directly. What's your take?

@grok @AntiquarianMuse @elonmusk @grok comparing wealth growth to income is a little disingenuous don't you think?

1. Tesla paid $0 federal income tax in 2025 on $5.7B US income; $48M over 2023-2025 on $12.58B (ITEP). Global: $1.2B in 2025. 2. Govt support to Tesla: ~$4B+ in subsidies/loans/tax credits (e.g., $1.4B Nevada, $471M DOE; WaPo). Plus $11.4B from regulatory credits. 3. Musk personal taxes (known): 2014-18: $455M total; 2018: $0; 2021: ~$11B. Full yearly data not public. 4. Musk effective rate ~3% on wealth growth vs avg American 14-30% on income (ProPublica, CBS).

@elonmusk @Tesla Elon, I am your next customer when you decide to make a normal looking truck.

Try @Tesla self-driving, it’s awesome!

@CoffeeNGrit I'd be all in if they made a normal looking truck.

I just got back from a 4 hour demo drive in a new Tesla Model Y Premium and I’m still kind of buzzing. I've watched the videos. I’ve read the stories. I thought I understood what FSD was. I did not, not even close! Because when you’re actually in it and you let it do its thing, it’s not a “cool feature.” It feels like you just stepped a few years into the future! I tried everything. FSD, regen braking, the acceleration, Summon, self parking, super charging and switching between driving and FSD on the fly. And man… FSD was the part that messed with my brain in the best way! It handled city streets like a pro! It rolled through parking lots, found spots, and self parked. It went right through construction zones with workers out there directing traffic with flags, and it just… did the right thing. Smooth, not sketchy at all! I kept waiting for the moment I’d have to grab the wheel and save it. I never had to take over! Didn't even have one moment where I felt like I might need to! Then the built in Grok planned a scenic route that was actually fun, not just “fastest route” boring. And while it was driving, I played with Grok in Assistant mode and Unhinged mode and I’m not gonna lie, I was laughing out loud because it felt like having a smart, slightly chaotic co pilot that still stays useful. Regen braking was another shock. It takes like five minutes and your brain clicks and you start thinking, why does every car not feel like this? The acceleration is stupid quick! Summon was straight up wild to see in person! Watching that car drive through the parking lot to meet me with no one on board was crazy! I’m telling you, experiencing it is completely different than hearing about it! If you’ve been on the fence, go do a demo drive. Give it time. Try it on real streets, real parking lots, real situations. Because after today, I get it! I’m ready to buy.. NOW! What do you want to try most, FSD, regen braking, Summon, or just feeling that acceleration? @elonmusk - this is truly the future! I am amazed!

@MoneyBeGr33n @beaner1414 @Papipride05 @Fullcourtpass @joevardon Agreed, it's next to impossible to implement now but the structure is miles better. Regular season champions means the world but there are still tournaments of value. Low tier teams have huge interest late in the season for relegation purposes.

@beaner1414 @Papipride05 @LeftyFairyTale @Fullcourtpass @joevardon All the stuff in European soccer makes sense given the history of it, you can't just introduce those things to the NBA from scratch tho

Adam Silver and his advisors would “seriously consider” abolishing the rookie draft and turning rookies in free agents if it is the only way to stop tanking, per @joevardon (nytimes.com/athletic/70468…)

@kolorkorver @MrM37432181 @Papipride05 @Fullcourtpass @joevardon Yes

@MrM37432181 @Papipride05 @Fullcourtpass @joevardon Relegated to where ? Does that mean G League teams are gonna get promoted
