Zucker was nailing Gollust who used to work for Andrew Cuomo. Zucker was paying Chris who was working for Andrew. CNN spent all of 2020 painting Andrew as the greatest governor in the country while he shoveled covid+ elderly into nursing homes, then covered it up.
BUT WHY DO THE PEOPLE TRUST ROGAN MORE THAN CNN?!?!?!?!!!?!
Man, Trump's Twitter feed would be straight fire right now
Andrew Cuomo is now officially the herpes of American politics.

Whoopi Goldberg explaining that the Holocaust wasn't about race because these were "two groups of white people" isn't just insipid, it's insidious. It's downplaying the minority status of Jews in order to uphold bullshit intersectional arguments that justify anti-Semitism today.
The intersectional argument is that Jews are white people, and that Jews are disproportionately successful thanks to "white supremacy." Because racism is "animus plus power," and Jews are powerful because they are white, anti-Semitism from non-white supremacists isn't bigotry.
This logic is why the Left will condemn anti-Semitic attacks like the one at the Tree of Life but quickly memory hole anti-Semitic attacks by Black Hebrew Israelites in NJ or radical Muslims in TX.
China is a second-rate economy masquerading as a powerhouse. Their power lies in concerted use of their market to cudgel corporations into place. It is an act of utter irresponsibility for Western governments not to untether from the poisonous IV that is the Chinese economy.
This can only be done at the governmental level. Corporations that refuse to play in the Chinese sandbox are immediately undercut by corporations that kowtow to the CCP. Concerted action is necessary. We didn't strengthen economic ties to the USSR. We shouldn't with China.
Here come the defenders of the Chinese model in the comments! When I say China is a second-rate economy, I mean it statistically. China's GDP per capita is currently $10,400 per the World Bank. This puts it below Romania, Poland, and Greece, and just above Cuba.
Today is the first anniversary of January 6, a riot predicated on a falsehood pushed by President Trump -- a riot which did not prevent the certification of the 2020 election by Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
It was not a "coup" or an "insurrection," nor was it charged criminally as such. It was not a turning point for the republic or a referendum on American political violence.
It is now being exploited by the political class to dramatically revise republican institutions including federalism and the filibuster. The outsized focus on January 6 by the media and Democrats is a pure act of political opportunism, and should be seen as such.
"1883" is better than "Yellowstone" and it is not particularly close.
The plot to "Yellowstone" has collapsed. Every single script hole is filled by Beth just being randomly snarky to a rando. Jamie wanders in and out of the plot like a drunken hobo. John started off as an anti-hero, then just turned into a hero. Kacey is an adjunct to the show.
The whole tripartite structure of the show in the first season -- Native Americans vs. ranchers vs. developers -- has imploded. Now it's ultra-conservative rancher John hooking up with a fifth-level vegan environmental terrorist while Beth yells at secretaries or something.
So once it became clear that covid was not in fact a pagan god visiting vengeance on the unwashed Trump voters alone, the media and Democrats are now willing to admit the following:
1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN); 2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid; 3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes); 4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci);
5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn't been as virulent (Fauci); 6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (CDC); 7. The asymptomatic should not be tested (NFL); 8. We should focus on hospitalizations and deaths, not case rate (Biden);
