So what do you make of what’s going on here?”

Who want to take on the insanity of the Iran war.
Who want to take off take on the ridiculousness of these tariffs.
Who want to stand up to the notion that Donald Trump could have yet another rubber stamp in the Senate. Who want to make sure he doesn’t get another two Supreme Court nominees who believe in religious pluralism, uh and equal rights under the Constitution.

Jane Leeves admits she feels guilty about the Frasier fat suit but says body-shaming was so normalized back then that nobody questioned it.

Jane Leeves: “I’m so grateful to be here. These people are such geniuses, these writers. I’m not going to question them.”
“I don’t think anyone thought about those kinds of things back then because it was normalized. It was normalized to comment. Which it isn’t now, thank goodness for our young people.”
Piers Morgan SNAPS at Panelist Defending Dylan Mulvaney — “WHO ARE YOU TO TELL US WHAT A WOMAN IS?”
Piers Morgan: My problem is that Dylan Mulvaney is making a fortune while seemingly mocking women and womanhood.
Female Panelist: Exactly. The new song reduces women to shopping, medication, laziness, and being obsessed with men. As a woman, I don’t relate to that. It feels like a mockery of womanhood.
James: It’s appalling to give credibility to someone mocking women. Dylan Mulvaney isn’t an example of women.
Piers Morgan: Are you insane? Who are you to tell us what a woman is? You’re a man!
Brandon: Dylan speaks to a generation you don’t understand.
Piers Morgan: I’ll use the pronouns Dylan prefers, but Dylan isn’t a biological woman. My issue is making millions while mocking womanhood.
Brandon: You’re misunderstanding how difficult it can be to discover your identity as a woman.
Piers Morgan: I think Dylan is reveling in mocking womanhood.
Female Panelist: I don’t see Dylan as a woman. I see someone caricaturing womanhood.
Bernie Sanders says Trump’s attacks on Abdul El-Sayed are about more than just religion.
Bernie Sanders: “ In my view, Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of our country. He is an authoritarian who does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law, and he makes no apologies for that.
A few weeks ago, he was at a rally and he says, you know what? I can do anything I want to do. I’m the president. Well, obviously, he has not read the Constitution, but that is what he believes.
Trump is an embarrassment, I think to all parents in this country because he is a pathological liar. You know, we try to teach our kids to be honest, this guy lies every single day. I doubt that he knows the difference between the truth and a lie.
Trump is an extreme narcissist. I am not a psychiatrist, but it is not hard to figure that one out. He thinks the whole world centers around him”

Joe Rogan: “There’s a ton of different stories of what we think are good pharmaceutical drug solutions for a problem that’s happening that turn out to be horrendous for people and give them terrible side effects.

And they were giving it to be 50,000 plus people died. They got strokes. They knew that people were going to get strokes before they release it, but they did it because they knew they could make money off of it.
“And this is just this continual pattern that we can see throughout history. We want to believe in these institutions, but oftentimes these institutions are corrupted by money.”

You know what I mean? He was like the… I’mma get there before you. I’mma clear things out, and then it’s almost like the fullback could turn around and be like, ‘Go right, or hit this hole right here.’ It’s like he was helping me as much as he could to get out of my own way and to allow the world to like give me space to even find out who I was.”
