Matt Taibbi is asked by Sabby Sabs about his view on Israel and Gaza, and Taibbi repeatedly declines to give an answer, saying he doesn't like to comment on this because it's "complicated" and "I don't know anything about it".
The next post has the other half of the clip.
Taibbi says "My job is to get stuff right, and not get stuff wrong" after being asked by Sabby Sabs again to say anything about Gaza, and admits it looks like he's "ducking" the question. He keeps saying he doesn't want to talk about the subject.
The obvious reason why he won't say anything is because he knows his audience now is mostly Trump supporters who won't like even a tiny criticism of Israel, but he wants to retain the tiny sliver of remaining left-wing supporters too. Having his cake and eating it too.
Every time Norman Finkelstein trends, usually for debating some moron (this time it's Destiny), he trends and people post clips of him dominating the debate.
People forget Finkelstein is racist and transphobic, and how he supports Russia invading Ukraine.
This is a thread compiling all of the bad takes from people (many on the left) downplaying the Jan. 6 insurrection that was part of Trump's plan to overturn the election.
Aaron Maté of The Grayzone calls the insurrection a "very sloppy riot" and a "sloppy three-hour riot".
Glenn Greenwald rises to the defense of Elon Musk and Twitter/X against the ADL highlighting Musk's promotion of white nationalist accounts.
Related post, feels like it's been a while since one of the Chapo guys said something shitty, but Felix decides to "both sides" the ADL correctly highlighting and criticizing Elon Musk promoting white nationalists.
Covered some of this rhetoric yesterday, Michael Tracey was upset that the ADL wants social media to ban Holocaust denial.
Cornel West has switched from running for the People's Party nomination to running for the Green Party nomination for President.
Oh God I hope he doesn't pick Russell Brand as his running mate.
His chances of winning the election before was 0%, but now that he's running on the Green Party, his chances of winning now are 0%.
Cornel West had been talking with people like Chris Hedges and Sabby Sabs the last few days, and they openly hate the current Green Party presumptive nominee Howie Hawkins because he's pro-Ukraine. I can't help but wonder if they pushed West to run just to get Hawkins out.
A lot of people are mad at Krystal Ball for *checks notes* challenging Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his decades of anti-vax bullshit. Jimmy Dore and Nick Cruse in particular are angry.
Of all the things to hate Krystal Ball for...
Nick Cruse and the rest of RBN did an entire episode complaining about Krystal and Kyle's wedding, as if Marianne Williamson's affiliation with them will boost her Presidential chances. Their preview image didn't even include Shoe, the worst person there.
From what I recall, Aaron Maté hasn't been critical of Krystal Ball, but Jimmy has plenty of times before. We'll see if Aaron responds to any of Jimmy's conspiratorial criticism of Krystal.
