Always fascinating to see how incredibly easy it is for absolute charlatans to con people, especial rich old conservatives, with the barest minimum of effort.

C'mon, man
Imagine giving this guy millions of dollars to save your family from the apocalypse
I hate to say it but the piece is almost boring because of the banality of this guy's scheme and the bottomless idiocy of his marks. It's all just too easy and too stupid.

It's not an exaggeration in the slightest to say that Trump tweeting *the Monday after the election* that vaccine approval was sabotaged as part of a partisan hit-job established a narrative that would lead to millions of Americans refusing the vaccines
Literally everything Trump did during the pandemic couldn't have been more perfectly calculated to destroy public trust in health authorities and experts, by either dismissing their informed recommendations or relegating them to the realm of conspiracy
Important also to remember the fluidity and irrationality fundamental to the Trumpist view of vaccines- when Fauci was cautiously optimistic, he was "holding back progress" to damage Trump; when he embraced the vaccines he was "telling people what to do with their bodies"

This the funniest shit I've read all week. Beyond parody. Beyond Parody Infinite Edition.
"Sinema's core beliefs haven't changed"

"Oh word, so she's still anti-war"

"Oh well i mean she's a big shill for Raytheon and ME arms deals now, but other than that..."

Man GTFOH, jump in the ocean
Runner up for funniest thing is this insanely tortured post-hoc rationale for "the curtsy."

"It's puzzling why she didn't just explain it" no it's not. Her staff didn't explain it because this explanation is transparently cockamamie bullshit invented days later.

Going to boomer out for a sec and ask why every new fast-casual/fast-food place has to have its own impenetrable and baroque new ordering ritual instead of the old classic "have a menu and let people order from it"
Either they make you wade through like fifty badly-designed kiosk screens or you have to talk to three different employees to gradually refine your order down from the genre level. Madness. No wonder they're being parasitized to death by 3rd party delivery companies.
(UberEats/Grubhub/Doordash are the worst, absolute bloodsuckers and a blight on the service industry, but they do force these places to adapt their bonkers "experience" into menu form with at least a standardized UI)

"If you hate WWII, blame the Allies"
You [an idiot]: maybe polarization is caused by backlash against society moving leftward towards freedom and tolerance

Me [enlightened]: sounds like someone is a "two" on the leftist scale
American society is moving dramatically leftward on virtually every issue (wages, weed, gender, jail) and the fact that Republicans are acknowledging they've lost the "culture war" [normal political debate] on those issues is not a confession of newfound moderate views

I feel like everyone sharing the viral "EXCLUSIVE" about Amazon's well-documented "The Offer" should know that they're spreading a misleading article that's going to be used by Amazon advocates to discredit actual good reporting on the real union-busting tactics Amazon uses.
"The Offer" is a real (admittedly bonkers) pay-to-quit scheme that Amazon brought in from (also bonkers) Zappos culture. It's not what the reporter is describing, and the reporting is not "EXCLUSIVE."

Furthermore, it's clear that the reporter is using the article to spam solicitations for donations, none of which are actually supporting Amazon workers trying to unionize.

I'm genuinely curious what percentage of Republicans believe the Green New Deal has already passed. I'd guess it's a lot.
I feel like even before the Texas fiasco, Republican references to the Green New Deal started implying that it was not just something Democrats wanted to do but rather something that was already accomplished so they could blame it for random stuff.
It's kind of like how over the summer, the right would point to property damage and say "WELCOME TO JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA." Like not just lying about the cause of the problem, but pretending that something that hasn't happened actually has. A weird and novel type of lying.
