“Don’t engage with the bad faith bullshit, tell them their losers, and focus on attracting people to the working class cause with a simple message: Donald Trump is a pedophile who is so insecure he has to wear platform shoes to inflate his fragile ego.”
The first comment was a one of those bad faith BSers. Happy to see it was deleted! I may save your quote (with credit of course) as a quick “don’t feed the trolls” reminder.
I love how uncomfortable Kimmel sounds lol. Bill Burr is a legend, he is the spiritual successor of George Carlin. Most accurate bullshit detector we have right now. ‘They’re wondering ‘why did it happen?!’ He wrote on the bullets why it happened!’ Love him.
I don't believe Elon is a genius, like his mother says. She said he wanted to live with his father as a child because his father had the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, and Elon knew them end to end, you could ask him about anything in them and he could give an answer!, she said. I would imagine a genius might not glom onto every smidgeon of Hitlerian revisionist history that's been churned out over the past decade on social media. I could be wrong. "My heart goes out to you" my ass.
I don't think we can discount Elon's coding and marketing ability, but I've never believed he was a genius. His public persona shows everything to the contrary, in my opinion.
He isn’t a genius. He is clever in the ways of crunching the numbers and business. Everyone I knew after watching the movie Rain man use to think Autism and being odd is equivalent to super intelligence and after watching Jaws thought that sharks are deliberate man eaters. Who paid the Price for Jaws going super nova in the box office? Look how trump has manipulated the masses, is he a genius? No, he is just good at manipulating people. Maybe he is what they use to call an idiot-savant in the category of con artist and mobbing. Elon Musk is intelligent but not genius level. Don’t let other around you in this fight be bedazzled by his not so clever. BS. Both Elon and tRump together don’t impress me in their manipulative skills as much as my dog does. Just. NOT. Impressed. 🤣😅😃
Thank you! This is the right tone and take. Also, why am I just now realizing Kamala’s VP pick is so much more engaging than her. He speaks like a person and honestly the fact that he is a grade school teacher is why he knows how to speak to the avg voter. “Weird” is so much more effective than “threat to our democracy and women”
"Anecdotally speaking, I felt a renewed enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket during the Weird Era." God, I miss the Weird Era! During those golden weeks, I actually said to my son, "It's like a genie granted the Democrats' wish to stop fucking up." I was so young and naive last summer.

Él no es un genio. Es inteligente a la hora de hacer cálculos numéricos y de negocios. Todos los que conocía después de ver la película Rain Man solían pensar que el autismo y ser extraño es equivalente a la súper inteligencia y después de ver Tiburón pensaban que los tiburones son devoradores de hombres deliberados. ¿Quién pagó el precio por que Tiburón se convirtiera en supernova en taquilla? Miren como ha manipulado trump a las masas, ¿es un genio? No, simplemente es bueno manipulando a la gente. Quizás sea lo que suelen llamar un idiota-sabio en la categoría de estafador y mobbing. Elon Musk es inteligente pero no a nivel de genio. No dejes que otros a tu alrededor en esta pelea se deslumbren por su no tan inteligente… tontería. Tanto Elon como tRump juntos no me impresionan tanto con sus habilidades de manipulación como lo hace mi perro. Justo. NO. Impresionado. 🤣😅😃
Hy is nie 'n genie. Hy is slim in die maniere om die getalle en besigheid te knak. Almal wat ek geken het nadat ek die fliek gekyk het wat Rain man gebruik om te dink Outisme en om vreemd te wees is gelykstaande aan super intelligensie en nadat ek Jaws gekyk het, het gedink dat haaie doelbewuste mensvreters is. Wie het die Price for Jaws going super nova in die loket betaal? Kyk hoe het Trump die massas gemanipuleer, is hy 'n genie? Nee, hy is net goed daarmee om mense te manipuleer. Miskien is hy wat hulle gebruik om 'n idioot-savant te noem in die kategorie van oplichters en mobbing. Elon Musk is intelligent, maar nie geniale vlak nie. Moenie toelaat dat ander rondom jou in hierdie stryd verblind word deur sy nie so slim ... BS nie. Beide Elon en tRump saam beïndruk my nie in hul manipulerende vaardighede so veel soos my hond nie. Net. NIE. Beïndruk. 🤣😅😃
Er ist kein Genie. Er ist geschickt darin, Zahlen und Geschäfte zu analysieren. Jeder, den ich kannte, nachdem ich den Film „Rain Man“ gesehen hatte, dachte immer, Autismus und Seltsamkeit seien gleichbedeutend mit Superintelligenz, und nachdem ich „Der Weiße Hai“ gesehen hatte, dachte er, dass Haie absichtliche Menschenfresser seien. Wer hat den Preis dafür bezahlt, dass „Der weiße Hai“ an den Kinokassen zur Supernova wurde? Schauen Sie, wie Trump die Massen manipuliert hat. Ist er ein Genie? Nein, er ist einfach gut darin, Menschen zu manipulieren. Vielleicht ist er das, was man einen idiotischen Gelehrten in der Kategorie Betrüger und Mobbing nennt. Elon Musk ist intelligent, aber kein Genie. Lassen Sie nicht zu, dass die anderen um Sie herum in diesem Kampf von seinem nicht so klugen ... Blödsinn geblendet werden. Sowohl Elon als auch Trump zusammen beeindrucken mich in ihren manipulativen Fähigkeiten nicht so sehr wie mein Hund. Nur. NICHT. Beeindruckt. 🤣😅😃

Or, ya know, you could resist like a real person, not a fucking entertainer/celebrity. And I like Bill Burr. But come the fuck on, man!! Can we STOP with the “this is FAMOUS PERSON who will save us!” bullshit. That’s what got us into this mess- look who’s president, (plus our ketamine addicted trillionaire Reich’s Marshall)
Lots of people said they supported the Nazis because the Nazis "opposed communism." Those people chose badly and ended up overlooking, denying, justifying, and minimizing each and every Nazi atrocity as a result (sound familiar?)
The smarter and less disingenuous people managed to oppose both the Nazis and the communists. It really isn't hard to do so. Here, it's called the two state solution -- two states for two indigenous people -- a solution that is, by the way, implacably opposed by Hamas and political Islam in favor of the death and displacement of 10 million Israelis.
You can't be pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas too. Hamas is an Islamist religio-fascist death cult that offers the Palestinian people nothing but misery, religious coercion, gender apartheid, and eternal conflict. Amazing how Joe Mayall (and you) would not live for a single second in Hamastan under Hamas's religious oppression, but do not hesitate to condemn Palestinians to living in Hamastan under Hamas rules. (Good enough for brown-skinned A-rabs but not little white you, amirite? You deserve better.)
If you are for the one-state solution and destruction of Israel, I only have one question for you and all you other virtue signaling tourists sitting safely over the horizon: How many Palestinians are you willing to have killed to see the fruition of your bloodthirsty death porn fantasy of 10 million dead or displaced Israelis (20% of whom are Muslim and over 70% Arab)? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? A million? Can't count that high?

He's fantastic. He really reminds me of just an outspoken, normal guy among celebrities. Not afraid to call BS when he sees it.
Yep, definitely my fave among comedians. Runners-up Josh Johnson and Ronny Chieng.
I don't believe Elon is a genius, like his mother says. She said he wanted to live with his father as a child because his father had the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, and Elon knew them end to end, you could ask him about anything in them and he could give an answer!, she said.

Great article, as always.
Thanks, Hope!
Maybe he was once brilliant, but always remember something very important about Elon that has changed these past few years:
Ketamine is a helluva drug.
I don't think we can discount Elon's coding and marketing ability, but I've never believed he was a genius. His public persona shows everything to the contrary, in my opinion.
I do agree with this take, I mostly just wanted to point out that THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO NOW OVERSEES OUR TREASURY DEPARTMENT IS HIGH ON KETAMINE

This is what I have been trying to nail down — said better than I’ve been able to. It’s simple, keep it simple.
Simple = understandable = persuasive.
Thank you! This is the right tone and take. Also, why am I just now realizing Kamala’s VP pick is so much more engaging than her. He speaks like a person and honestly the fact that he is a grade school teacher is why he knows how to speak to the avg voter. “Weird” is so much more effective than “threat to our democracy and women”
Exactly. I suspect they pulled him back because he was overshadowing her.
these are crazy times! thanks
I needed this take. Thank you.
🙏
Say, why haven’t we heard anything about Luigi in a while?
“…I have eyes, which are attached to my brain, which recognized this iconic gesture…”
In other words, you “have common sense, which, unfortunately, some people don’t.”
You are quickly becoming one of my favorites. (Not that my opinion should matter… just sayin’).
Thanks, Trisha! That thrills me to hear. And of course your opinion matters! Don't ever think it doesn't.

Speaking for myself, I was happy the Democrats did something besides the Worst Thing Possible.
“Political debauchery.” What a concept!

That’s not at all what I wrote.
So what? You made your point- I’m making mine.

Elon musk is clearly not an actual nazi.
