@RobertJenrick How did we get here with fundamentally unserious people are in political positions of power we have this dipshit here and hegseth across the pond. As well as all their respective parties.
Reporter: "You told us yesterday that Israel was going to strike Iran, which is why we had to intervene."
Marco Rubio: "That's not true. Were you there yesterday?"
Reporter: "Yes, I asked you the question."
Trump supporter: “I’m totally against vaccines. Absolutely, 100%. Every single one of them. They’re poison”
Jason Selvig: “What about Polio vaccine?”
TS: “There hasn’t been a case of Polio in how many years, since 1960?”
JS: “Since the vaccine…”
TS: “Yeah”
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
A man had died. His two children will grow up without their father.
Jason made mistakes & resigned as a result. What followed was the predictable onslaught by particular sections of the media. When he appealed for calm they continued to hound him.
And we all know why.
Shameful
