Dave Phillips (and Bill Maher, who endorsed him last Friday) has one argument โ€” ONE. That Bidenโ€™s old. Both Phillips and Maher acknowledge, *enthusiastically*, what a good job Biden has done, what a terrific president heโ€™s been. The *only* thing they have to point to is what year he was born in.

P.S., TFG would eat Phillips for lunch and spit out the bones. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š

Phillips is another part of the right's ratfucking operation. They're being so sloppy about it, he was outed within a few days.

Now they'll have to find another patsy and try again after Phillips fades away over the holidays.

One reason the right is so supportive of Israel is because they like Netanyahu. After all, heโ€™s one of them.๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š

You spent much of the episode raging against the Alt Left machine with only light acknowledgment that you're in your own echo chamber. The algorithms that control your feeds know where your political beliefs lie, so they know what to feed you to piss you off royally and keep you engaged and enraged. As a trans feminine music geek, my feeds are mainly filled with flowy dresses and music news. I get exposed to an occasional alt left headline but I never click on it. My Yahoo feed skews far right, so I avoid that for the most part, teaching it like a bad dog by only interacting with pop culture stuff. So to wrap this point, I'd suggest not amplifying fringe messages as if they are mainstream. Would anyone know what ivy league protesters say on campus if not for click bait media? Now here's a crisis worth exploring down the line -- did you watch Maher and SNL this weekend? I enjoy these shows but feel the oncoming dread they're gonna kill us all. Maher goes on and on about "Biden can't win", so he endorsed the new guy simply because of his age and confirmation of a pulse. SNL meanwhile, portrays Biden as senile and Trump as an affable "wacky uncle" whose main crime is pop cultural non-sequiturs. This led to 2016 -- Trump was a guest on SNL, and Hillary was portrayed as "I'm gonna win by a landside". When he won, the best they could do was have Kate McKinnon slaughter a Leonard Cohen song. With Johnson in place, the dominoes are in line for the fall of democracy. I keep praying all the KFC and McNuggets in Trump's veins are steadily building to a well-timed crescendo in the next 50 weeks.

The alt-left is a coordinated and very well-funded ratfucking operation designed to do one thing: Make Democrats lose. It worked in 2016 and they've been hard at it every election since then, becoming more unhinged with each failure.

I've been writing about them since 2015 and in 8 years, I haven't been wrong about them.

So what's your take on the late night comedy monologues, Maher, and SNL -- lazy and irresponsible writing (Biden is old, Trump is silly but harmless), or is there the ivy league/alt left connection, as many comedy writers are from privileged schools. Either way, I'm scared out of my mind that the very shows most young voters turn to for the truth, are going to convince them to not vote Biden (likely with fringe candidate protest votes and write ins).

Maher has drifted sp far right since Trump was elected, he doesn't speak to progressives voters, young or otherwise. He speaks to angry old white men yelling at kids to get off their lawns!

I haven't seen any of the SNL stuff so I really can't say.

Standing on the graves of the slaughtered pointing fingers? Youโ€™re grotesque.
