@billmccoshen @620wtmj It’s called joyful snark!

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen @620wtmj That’s like predicting it’s going to rain when you see a big orange blob headed your way on your phone’s weather app.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen Yes, I would take as gospel anything coming from the account that retweets stuff from Mike Flynn.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen How can you work IN the White House (like in the Oval Office) and be a huge investor in cryptocurrency and the head of a family that owns crypto businesses while at the same time making key decisions about crypto policy and crypto regulations?

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen The first honest words from our president since the Inauguration!

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen Fine won by about 14 points, @billmccoshen. How much did Signal’s most famous user win by in November?

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen @CNN @POTUS Well, he could certainly use a bump. Don’t expect it to last. Maybe I should be citing Rasmussen instead.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen @CNN Let’s not get carried away, Bill.

@billmccoshen @C__Herridge She failed to challenge Rubio on Trump’s pushing of Putin’s discredited narrative. I know Rubio would like to forget about it, because it is personally embarrassing to him, but you can’t ignore that an any discussion of this topic.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen @C__Herridge Would have been a stronger interview if she had asked about Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war and how that kind of talk is not only inaccurate propaganda but counterproductive to peace talks.

@WakeIceHockey @AAUCollegeHKY @WFUCampusRec @BarstoolWake @wfuogbsports @JournalNow @DeaconSports @WFUAlumni @TheJJohnsonTV @Wesbryant_72 @WakeForest What is your fundraising goal?

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen You and I probably agree that the SSA needs reform. But 150-year-olds collecting Social Security is not a “significant” problem. Some people want it to be true so badly because it fits into their narrative. Just like they did with the Haitians eating cats and dogs.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen I did reread it—twice. You are just muddying the waters. If you are suggesting that maybe the SSA should transition to some more modern coding system from COBOL, that seems reasonable. But I wouldn’t call that a “significant” problem.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen It doesn’t suggest that at all. It’s the use of seemingly credible but misleading facts to advance a falsehood, pure and simple. Reform of the SSA is fine. Basing it on a foundation of lies isn’t.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen This not much different than the debunked lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

[Alby Gallun @agallun]

@billmccoshen No. That’s the deception here. Musk is trying to get people to think that millions of fake centenarians are receiving Social Security, posting a document that appears to show that. But if he and his cult followers bothered to check it out, they would discover that it doesn’t.
