9/11 lies and irony. #september11 #trump #mamdani #newyork #commentary

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

He is a sadistic, self-fellating sack of shit who feeds on grief. He lied about our dead while families were still dialing phones, still searching hospitals, still saying missing because dead was a word too monstrous to let into the room.
And he is lying about them now, a quarter-century later, while their names are still being read aloud.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

The media has a responsibility to fact check Donald Trump about 9/11.

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Thank you, @jeffdomingues
The silence on these disgusting lies is sickening

Please. Someone. Anyone.
Do your damn job.
Today's 9/11 lies are abhorrent, and yet the coverage is nonexistent.
Shame on the media today.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear media,

FACT CHECK Donald Trump's 9-11 stories.

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

@CharlesCasillo Good taste. My all-time favorite

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Right? There are people who call Serena the best ever like it’s a given. It isn’t. If Steffi had played as long as her, she would have had more slams. She had just won the French and been in a Wimbledon final when she retired.

[sharon grimson.TRUST👍.IGA 💙 @shazofgrim]

Always amazes me that Steffi rarely gets mentioned.. one slam difference between her and Serena, more titles than Serena, more weeks at number one..only player ever to win calander slam( included Olympics) but America loves to forget..

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Amen. Thank you

[José Morón @jmgmoron]

Ayer por la noche, después de caer derrotadas en el dobles, Serena y Venus se negaron a dar rueda de prensa.

Entre las dos, han recibido cuatro wildcards en esta gira. Serena, otras varias también en la gira de hierba, Wimbledon incluido.

¿Ruedas de prensa? Ninguna.

Básicamente, un "vosotros dadnos las invitaciones, así nos sentimos tenistas y participamos de todo esto", pero eso sí, "no pienso ponerme delante de un micro y dar a conocer nada a la gente".

A veces, ponen muy difícil defender según qué cosas. Los aficionados de ambas jugadoras seguirán sin saber ni cómo se sienten ni qué piensan.

Eso, para mí, no es ser embajador de este deporte.

Mi máximo respeto para alguien como Roger Federer, que no solo acepta la invitación de un torneo como Wimbledon o el US Open, sino que va a todos los partidos, se queda hasta ser el último en irse y luego incluso da una rueda de prensa de 45 minutos para que la gente que le echaba de menos sepa de él.

Eso es clase y respeto por el deporte que te lo ha dado todo. Serena y Venus harían a bien mirarse en el espejo que supone Federer para el tenis.

This ump should be suspended

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

As a lifelong baseball fan, this is atrocious behavior by an umpire.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

I think of the all the soldiers and their families who stood in line to vote for this POS knowing that he had taken 5 deferments from Vietnam and insulted God Star families and veterans like John McCain.

But

they voted for him anyway

And now he is shitting on their families.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear @SpeakerJohnson

Is selling your soul worth it?

Is there any floor of decency you won't crash through?

I see a man who preaches Christian values and runs with the devil.

That's my constitutionally protected opinion of YOU.

[Die-Hard Chicago @DieHard_Chicago]

They called Caleb Williams a ‘diva’ pre-draft.

As a #1 pick and generational talent, he could’ve kept in his own lane.

But instead he embraced Chicago players. He showed support to PCA (pre MVP), Matas, Bedard, now Caleb Wilson.

Opposite of a diva. He unified Chicago sports.

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

he says it like it’s a bad thing …

[Elizabeth 🇺🇲 @Elizabeth71729]

Stephen Miller says that if Democrats retake Congress in November, “it’s game over. They’re going to get Trump in prison.”

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

I loathe Trump.
But this clip, and the quote, are fiction.
We have to be better. Blowing this only helps this fool

[Beyond The Script. @Harvie3Culley]

MAGA forgets about this.

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

@89socks06 @Mediaite You are a sad little man, aren't you?

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Perfect

[Amy Aiello Lofgren @azsweetheart013]

Yes there was an official vote @hwinkler4real is our new KINDNESS AMBASSADOR

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Oh, something tells me you don’t have the brain capacity to understand

[👑 @Lebronin1]

So you’re telling me LeBron James has more

Points, Rebounds, Assists, Blocks

But Jordan is better how???

[JFK Bungart @JFKBungart]

Exactly.
And the next poised, factual, reasoned, insightful argument I hear for Lebron will be the first.

[Cover3 @Cover3_mx]

I am firmly on the side that Michael Jordan is the GOAT, and that LeBron James is not particularly close. Others disagree, which they are perfectly entitled to do, and we argue about it. That’s sports.

But there is a strange asymmetry in these debates.

Those of us arguing for Jordan rarely respond to criticism of Jordan by saying, “You just hate Michael Jordan.” We engage the argument. We defend his career, his accomplishments, his competition, his shortcomings, whatever is being discussed.

Yet the moment you push back on LeBron’s GOAT case, the response is almost immediate: “You hate LeBron.” “You’re a hater.” “You’re obsessed with him.”

Why?

Why are so many LeBron fans incapable of separating criticism of an argument from personal hatred of the player? Why reduce every disagreement to emotion instead of actually contending with the substance?

If your GOAT case is strong, defend it.

Calling everyone who disagrees with you a “hater” isn’t a rebuttal. It’s an escape hatch.
