just had to listen to Mark Levin’s show, and it’s remarkable what can make you a star in conservative talk radio
Rush Limbaugh at least had flair and energy, and was a force of nature in spewing decades of hate and hypocrisy onto the airwaves. He was a debauched reactionary showman, but he put on a show.

Why anyone would willingly listen to Levin’s show is a profound mystery to me
the pauses. The pauses!
why is there so much dead air on this broadcasts, how are advertisers allowing this

‘What the F-ck Is This?’: Team Trump Blindsided by Jan. 6 Committee Getting Doc Footage rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
"In other words: many of the people actually running then-President Trump's reelection operation are now saying they somehow had zero clue that an entire documentary was being filmed largely about Trump and his reelection campaign…"
“… And now the fruits of that doc are being mined for evidence by the congressional committee investigating Trump and his multi-pronged efforts to shred the American democratic order."

Don’t really get why conservatives who watch movies think that gay or lesbian characters in movies meant for children and preteens are new or abnormal, R2-D2 was gay
You can just admit that the reason you boycotted Lightyear isn’t because you are a Last Man Standing loyalist; it is because Buzz in the new one doesn’t ask “what about Black on Black crime”
Revisiting Toy Story 4, it is really funny how Tim Allen and Tom Hanks were recorded in the same room, for the sake of the camaraderie in the voice acting, and it makes absolutely not difference whatsoever

something i think is important to underscore at this juncture:

Jared Kushner — nowadays seeking new investment & wanting to launder his image once again — wants you to think he had nothing to do with the riot stuff or what led up to it. It’s not just that he and Ivanka were...
…too sheepish or cowardly to do anything about “stopping” Jared’s father-in-law and therefore boss.

It’s that Jared was “directly involved” in starting Trump and co’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election.

A reported look back, from @arawnsley & me: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
@arawnsley …hoping to separate Jared’s own spin from reality of what he did, when it was he bailed to save himself, and his actual level of complicity in a massive, months-long anti-democratic campaign that soon erupted into death & mayhem in DC that day: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

It is accurate that Kushner essentially ghosted his father in law’s plot to steal the already concluded 2020 election. However, the best way to frame it is that he has a habit of running for cover when it’s convenient & when his own PR is in danger, while simultaneously…
…being complicit in the plot or the policy nonetheless, because he is often made to look at least superficially supportive, does not speak out, and doesn’t really even lift a finger to try to “moderate” anything.
In essence, he’s still a cog in the machine, just an even more self-interested cog and one that doesn’t like to get his hands as dirty. This is not a compliment

In the past few years, Maher has used words like “fascist” repeatedly to describe Trump and what the GOP has been doing. I guess one gripe I have with him is the phoniness of it all; if he Really believed what he was saying, instead of being what he would call “hysterical”…
… he would not be wasting such a significant share of his time hollering on week after week about the last thing your uncle read on the Bongino Report.
The apparent phoniness was also clear when the days before trump won, Maher publicly said American voters need to keep trump out because “fascists” don’t just give up power once they get it. In the few days right after, he was on Real Time saying that if something could come..:

.@arawnsley and I dug into why Trump has been largely silent — as calculated silence from the biggest braggart in chief — on abortion this month, even at rallies, on his social media “Truth” posts, and in interviews.
On Truth Social, Trump has been busy “truthing” about 2020-election-conspiracy theories, the PGA tour, the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, the Durham probe, Elon Musk’s “probably illegal purchase of a crummy phony account loaded company,” and Tuesday’s Republican primaries…
… “But since the draft opinion leaked, not once in the roughly 120 posts Trump has made on Truth Social have his thumbs tapped out a post referencing abortion, according to a Rolling Stone review of his account” on Friday
