Keith Olbermann has called for Elon’s arrest so I thought I would do a thread of my favorite times Keith has demanded someone be arrested along with why he wants them locked up.
Elon Musk: Donating to a PAC that gathers voter info.
Ron DeSantis: Flying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard
“Select Supreme Court Justices”: He didn’t like one of their rulings
Rep MTG: Talking about border security
Tom Wilson: Fighting in hockey
Rep. Gosar: Endorsing Trump
Donald Trump: Making terrorist threats
Ted Cruz: asking for an audit
Rep Heather Scott: posting on Twitter a picture someone sent her
Chief Justice John Roberts: arrest needed if he doesn’t respond to a subpoena from Dick Durbin
Jared Kushner: Espionage
Donald Trump Jr: treason.
Ending it with my overall favorite Keith moment that doesn’t involve him demanding an arrest: the time he tried to dunk on someone but ended up saying he pisses on his own face.

🧵So you’re caught lying on X. Someone has put together a devastating thread pointing out that your argument is based on nothing but falsehoods. It’s over, right?
WRONG. Do not give up. Follow these steps and you will come out even more popular than before.
Starting with …
1. SHOOT THE MESSENGER. Guy who caught you in a lie wore a mask during Covid? Post a screenshot. Didn’t support your candidate? Point it out. Go on the attack IMMEDIATELY. It changes the subject and gets people focused on something other than your lie.
Note: sometimes the person pointing out the lie is pretty clean, in which case wait for someone problematic to amplify the fact checkers post, and attack THAT guy. There’s always someone to attack.
2. THANK THEM FOR THE ENGAGEMENT. We live in an attention economy and in particular spend our y on an app that pays you for eyeballs. Them pointing out that you’re full of crap actually gets more eyes on your stuff, which certainly they know. Take a picture of a luxury item you own (or just download a pic if you don’t have one) and thank them for buying it. They’ll feel like nutsacks and - once again - it takes the focus off your original false claim.
A few years back he quit Spotify because he didn’t like Joe Rogan’s opinions about Covid but after a few years he came back when he found out you can listen to Joe Rogan anywhere.
1. Sydney Sweeney is elite race car driver Elizabeth Fastrubber BUT can she win the season title and become a master grand champion? Find out this fall only in theaters - it’s MASTER RACE!
2. “Excuse me miss, but I couldn’t help noticing that you have absolutely massive milkers.”
With that one cheesy pickup line, Hank Henderson landed the girl of his dreams. But what will it take to keep her? Find out this winter on ABC’s new drama, FOURTEEN WORDS ❤️
3. Audrey Hiller, a young woman injured in war, returns home in order to fight new domestic enemies not to mention her own inner demons. Next spring in: MY STRUGGLE.
With the boomers deciding to live forever I'm not sure there's any way AROUND doing this. I've had several family members buy big houses when they had young families, but then the value of their house increased 10X over the decades (not unheard of in Colorado).
So by the time they're empty nesters and would love to downsize, their capital gains at 20% would have been ENORMOUS. Capital gains of $1M plus broker fees plus moving fees and maybe you're giving up $250K+ just for the privilege of having a smaller house.
As a result, the boomers are living in big empty houses while young families can't afford enough space. I have several old ass neighbors occupying these big houses like Zuccotti Park but for some reason I can't call in the NYPD to tase the shit out of them.
I don't want to give the boomers ANOTHER tax break but we have to find some humane way to make nana homeless.
But . . . writing a script of an imaginary commercial or something with a voice over and use of these words, many of which have more than one syllable . . .
If they said Trump sent Epstein a glossy picture of a chick with huge tits and had written HEY JACKOFF GET A LOAD OF THESE I might believe it. But not this.
Who knows maybe Trump is composing tastefully drafted dialogues and sketching nudes in his spare time and then only pretends to be Trump in public who the fuck can say.
