So I’ve been spilling the beans all over other social media, with mixed results. Let’s see how Twitter handles this.
My college roommates turned out to be cannibals. When I connected all the dots to reach this conclusion, I fled.
Vice President Vance makes the one argument about the 2020 election fraud that even Bill Maher’s audience had to clap for.
Maher did everything in his power to discredit it, but Vance had already won the moment.
MAHER: “Can you tell me you will do that? Will you bring us back to the middle at least on that, where we concede elections, where it’s not either one of those two options?”
VANCE: “Okay, Bill, so this is where I’m probably going to lose you here.”
MAHER: “Uhhh...that happened about eight minutes ago.”
[Vance cracks up]
VANCE: “Look, I don’t think that we should not concede elections but I don’t think that’s what’s going on.”
“I think if you go back, if you go back to the president’s core argument, he was making an argument about problems that exist in 2020 and here’s the problem I’m most focused on...”
“Set to the side the stuff that really gets you and your audience very angry, about whether the count was legitimate in Georgia or Pennsylvania or any of these other states.”
“Is it true that large technology companies, some of whom have financial interests that exist outside the United States of America, were they censoring information in the run up to an election?”
“And set to the side, again, the Georgia stuff—”
MAHER: “No, that was litigated. Dominion, the Fox News...”
VANCE: “No, Bill, I’m actually trying to make the more middle ground argument here.”
“The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right.”
“So in a fundamental sense, like, if the First Amendment says we have a free and open debate and the American people judge on that free and open debate, the sense in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I’m sorry, is that you had technology companies that were putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange of ideas.”
“By the way, it didn’t happen in 2024 but it happened in 2020 and it was a problem.”
[Audience applauds]
