Here’s the tragic irony of Stephen Colbert.
He started his career playing a self-obsessed, deeply partisan news anchor who was blind to the fact everyone thought he was a clown.
It was a bit and it was funny until became reality.
Colbert lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
-Big Pharma shill.
-Democrat mouthpiece.
-Shameless propagandist.
-A man who humiliated himself on camera to worship power.
It was supposed to be a joke.
He wasn’t in on it.
He became the same thing he originally attempted to parody.
The libs who cried when it ended? They didn’t even watch.
Goodbye Stephen. The jokes on you.
Ilhan Omar saying “World War Eleven” is perfect content for SNL and yet they didn’t even touch it.
Instead, hey mock an assassination attempt on Trump.
@real_davew87@Milajoy It’s Jim Keller, Alex Cole’s friend. But Alex is also Jim’s friend. Alex wrote it and gave it to Jim to finish. Jim received it from Alex and finished it.
It’s common for people in both parties to rely on superficial red state / blue state comparisons but it’s far more complicated than that. There are no “wins” in using surface-level comparisons for either party.
Regardless, the winner of any given election affects policy decisions but has little or no impact on an individual’s ability to succeed.
HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt is calling out Democrats BY NAME who SPARKED the rhetoric leading to Saturday's attempt on President Trump's life
🔵 "Rep Hakeem Jeffrey just THIS MONTH said, 'we are in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.'"
🔵 "Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll within the administration."
🔵 "Senator Alex Padilla said people are DYING because of fear and terror caused by the Trump administration."
🔵 "Senator Elizabeth Warren: President Trump is making the country look like a 'FASCIST STATE'"
🔵 "Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a dictator playbook"
Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator, saying that this administration's actions are authoritarism on STEROIDS"
🔵 "Governor JB Pritzker: 'Never before in my life have I called for mass protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a MOMENT of peace.'"
🔵 "Rep. Pressley saying we'll see you in the streets."
🔵 Monica M McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will "not take this sh*t from Donald Trump. He thinks he's a DICTATOR. We are at WAR!"
"These are Democrat elected officials calling for WAR against the president of the United States and his supporters."
Cole Allen is the Dunning-Kruger Assassin.
Allen is not some random nut job from the fringes of society. He’s a very articulate graduate of Caltech, which means he has a high degree of native intelligence. He’s in the education profession. He is on BlueSky. He goes to No Kings protests. He’s your basic rank-and-file Democrat.
But it’s that high native intellect that led him astray.
The Dunning-Kruger Effect is, at its simplest level, people thinking they know more that they do. People who are high achievers in one area often mistakenly believe their native abilities make them experts in all areas.
So you get a super-smart guy like Allen, he excels in one narrow area, and extrapolates that excellence into thinking he knows more than he does in other areas. He goes into Blue Sky, he goes to No Kings protests, and he is easily swayed into believing all of the insane, violent lies those sorts of intellectual cesspools foster. All of a sudden this computer science expert is a national political policy expert too, except that latter expertise is derived from insane propaganda. The man with the intellectual skill to write code is not smart enough to recognize when he himself has fallen prey to propaganda, so he KNOWS that Donald Trump is Hitler and must be stopped.
And when you KNOW that someone is Hitler, what’s the right thing to do?
That’s what is so scary at this very moment—the sheer number of ostensibly educated Democrats who KNOW so many things are “true" that are actually so very, very untrue.
In many ways, Cole Allen is just an average Democrat, and like most average Democrats, he fell prey to credentialism and Dunning-Kruger. But Cole took it to the next level; let’s pray more do not.
Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.
“Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.”
“And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”
“The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.”
“The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.”
“How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?”
“Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”
Bombshell CBS News segment on the Southern Poverty Law Center indictment where the SPLC lied to donors, paid violent extremists millions, and “manufactured racism” for its own purposes
“The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose.” Per Todd Blanche
The Charlottesville rally leader attended “at the direction of SPLC” and made racist posts “under the supervision” of SPLC.
