So this happened on June 5th and aired this morning on Meet the Press.
As we used to say back on the ranch I grew up on, the guy is all hat and no cattle.
He complains without facts.
He insults because he’s uninformed and a bully.
He storms off the set because he’s a very weak man.
America, we deserve better. Vote in the midterms. Full stop.
@Cj01J@mitchjackson Forthcoming. When local authorities obfuscate or otherwise refuse to hand over ballots for verification, something is amiss. Many other questionable activities that are being investigated. Look at the numbers, the patterns, who's in control and stands to benefit.
I had a $230 restaurant bill, great service, and only $5 cash in my wallet.
So I left the $5 rather than nothing.
The waiter wasn't happy and told me that if I couldn't afford to tip more, I shouldn't be dining out.
I understand why the tip seemed low, but the comment caught me off guard.
Be honest... was the waiter out of line, or would you feel the same way on a bill that size?
Racism against Black people in America is worse than racism against white people in America.
Both are bad, but imagine this thought experiment:
Consider a hypothetical society of 100 people: 98 are Black and 2 are white. Imagine that individuals from both groups hold equally racist views toward the other. In that scenario, which group would you rather belong to? Most people would recognize that being one of only two white people in the minority would likely be more difficult. The prejudice itself is equally wrong, but the lived experience and practical consequences can be very different when you are vastly outnumbered.
African Americans are Vastly outnumbered in America.
@TrumpsHurricane Dems appeal to the youthful idealists. As reality sets in, the adults understand and move 'right'. Ideals are wonderful, but not always practical and have unintended consequences.
@0xDavecryps Age old axiom. With wealth comes influence and power. With power you can make bigger impact and changes according to your vision. That's why politicians covet money sources. It's not like the .1% has $1B in their checking account. It's all in stocks and assets.
If I had billions, I’d be paying off mortgages, clearing medical debt, and helping people breathe easier.
I don’t understand the obsession with hoarding wealth while millions struggle.
At a certain point, what’s the value of having more money if you’re not using it to improve lives?
@MarcoFoster_ So much for being an objective reporter. When you bring your leanings onto the screen, you're editorializing, not reporting the news. That's why he's been removed. Probably paid too much too.
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
@Timcast Genuine question, Tim. If democrats are truly so seasoned at cheating and rigging elections, what the fuck were they doing in 2024 - just sitting an entire season out?
It is now official. CBS died tonight. I will never watch any CBS content again. No sports, no news, no reality TV, no weather, no nothing. To me, Bari Weiss and Ellison are traitors to our nation. Fuck CBS.
