Um.... what.... aka, this is the dumbest thing I've ever read

I knew a man who was born two months old, which made celebrating his birthday very confusing. He had grown into a big, tall man with tears in his eyes. And he thanked me for listening to his story, since he said nobody had ever remembered the details as well as I did telling you now. He wanted me to tell the world what happened because if he had been aborted he wouldn’t be here to tell you like I am.

She could have invented him.

She could deliberately misrepresent him, if he existed.

She could have mis-heard and misinterpreted him, if he existed.

He could deliberately misrepresent his parents, if he existed.

I think he’s been huffing his own farts for so long the apoxia has given him brain damage.

The next sentence is also horseshit.

I swear, every time I hear him or read anything by him, I think, that dude has mastered the art of sounding like, (ironically enough) an expert, while spouting what boils down to useless crap.

The whole thing is horseshit. Every expert against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was ignored and booted from media. Plenty of experts were critical of bank bailouts and brexit; they were ignored. The highlighted section, completely ignores the Trump administration. I don’t think I’ve heard an “expert” say inflation was a thing of the past. The backlash against higher education is manufactured and started decades ago.

Right?

I have no idea wtf he’s talking about. If he thinks has any idea wtf he’s talking about, he’s clearly mistaken.

The Roadkill-Brain Worm Diet?

The food cartel are all Trump supporters. There’s no way regulations and health-safety inspections will increase.

Well, it’s Newsweek.

Which should be re-entitled Weak “News.”

Their reporting is usually fine (for limited trust values of fine), but any opinion stuff is usually coo-coo for coconuts.

And as a non-Christian with no axe to grind, “Christian” seems pretty dubious. It’s another Korean personality godhood cult with Christian dressup, much like the Moonie fragments.

This is a new one.

We’ve got conspiracy theory, health woo, climate change denial and reheated paranoia about Bill Gates all coming together to oppose a genuinely good development.

I will wait until we get RFK jr’s opinion on it, and then know the opposite is true.

Reminds me of reading one of the Washington post movie critics years ago. If they hated a movie I knew I had to go see it straight away.

I’m a consumer protection reporter of two decades intimately familiar with Republican deregulatory policy (and the lazy arguments used to justify it) and I have a pretty good idea what’s going to happen

hint: it involves mass casualties, fraud, and suffering across every sector that touches every last part of your life

and this is before we even fucking get to the internment camps for immigrants or the likely bungling of the bird flu epidemic

Trump 2.0 enjoys both houses of congress, numerous awful Supreme Court rulings, and zero worries about re-election

there genuinely has not been ENOUGH pants shitting

the press treats the total dismantling of the federal regulatory state alone like it’s a boring tangent

the fuck are you on about

Jesus fuck, Jon… PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN PRIOR TO THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST EITHER… That’s the point, dipshit… you don’t wait to take protective measures prior to the bad shit going down, you work to guard against it happening!!! We have ways to figure out what might happened, even if it might not, and that’s by reading about the past and seeing how cause and effect plays out… and at no point in the history of the world has the employment of dehumanizing language led anywhere good.
