    My only disagreement with his analysis is that this kind of press bias is some sort of recent phenomenon. It's worse then it's ever been in my life time but it's not new. It's been going on for a long time now.

    The other point of his that I think is completely valid is this:

    And at some point, you wonder: what narrative are they pushing now that is also bullshit? One comes to mind: the assurance that the insane amount of debt we have incurred this century is absolutely nothing to be concerned about because interest rates are super-low and borrowing more and more now is a no-brainer. But when inflation spikes and sets off a potential spiral in wages to catch up, will interest rates stay so quiescent? And if interest rates go up, how will we service the debt so easily?

    we are in completely uncharted fiscal waters and nobody is talking about our debt. The MSM for the most part fully supports Biden's spending policies so they don't talk about our debt.

    No doubt. I used to regularly read Andrew's blog before barry ran for president. Andrew while gay and HIV positive he was at that time a pretty bright and thoughtful gay guy and very committed to the promiscuous gay lifestyle (Provincetown). As a non-isolated party gay, being conservative was definitely a downer on his lifestyle. When barry was running for president, Andrew started being coy about he was going to vote for. At that point, I knew he was going to cave and move left and vote for barry and abandon a lot of conservative position, which he did. Ironically, Andrew joined the that biased press in 2015 and contributed to the problem. He was in early on Russian collusion, but then got out but still supported Trump's impeachment because of unintelligible reasons.

    Even this article spends the required leftard narrative that Rittenhouse was a real POS for being there in Kenosha and have the audacity to be armed. We should just concede the battle space to antifa/BLM. Phuck the residents and property owners.

    Just think of the American MSM during the late Vietnam war. They were actively rooting for and supporting the commies. America was the bad guy. Nothing has changed. PS I supported withdrawal pretty early in the Vietnam War.

    Imagine swallowing the Russian collusion story like a $5 hooker and then swelling with pride over your ignorance, stupidity and lack of integrity.

    Imagine as late as early 2000 still pushing the lie that the Steele Dossier was funded by Republicans. Imagine being such a fucking hack you actually believed Avenatti was credible. Imagine swallowing like a bitch both the Covenington kid and Smollett frauds. No need to imagine that was Hondo.

    I never once commented on Smollett. All I ever said about the Covington kid was he was acting a fool and even posted a video of what led to him standing there. I don't feel I ever supported Avenatti, that dude is a clown.

    Conservatives love to lie and be lied to.

    The old man was acting like a fool.

    The 17 year old was acting like a 17 year old.

    Fuck off.

    Here's Hondo carrying water for Avenatti because he never really supported him.

    Here's Hondo just saying that the Covington kid was acting a fool.


    In response to someone saying:

    If the kid wasn't wearing a MAGA hat this would have never been a story

    Hondo responded:

    You and dude69dicks are pretty fucktarded to defend this in any way. It's ok to admit there's fucktards on your side of the aisle and it's not always the media's fault.

    Responding to the people who were critical of the Media's reporting on this story Hondo said:

    Again that isn't the media's fault. Just like the media didn't make that kid act a fool.

    Btw, days later Hondo lied and claimed that he never commented on the kids "actions."


    You swallowed like a bitch Hondo, and now you do what you always do, you lie about it.

    What's really funny here is that I know Hondo is such a pathological liar that he'd make the same denials he'd made before. None of these lies are new for Hondo, they are all old lies he has told here over and over but like all pathological liars I knew he'd repeat them again.

    Not the point, but I'm glad you wasted a pitch on it.

    17 year old with normal balls - which means 10x your size - acted perfectly, and the multi-million dollar payout confirms it.

    Wrong then, wrong now. Why are you here?
