Howdy from the Alamo City. Speaking of triggering: Did y'all hear about the Creepy Dalai Lama kissing a young boy in front of everyone by telling him to suck his tongue ?

I heard about it on twitter. The individual condemned it, there was an "apology" by likely some serf of the secretary, and the MSM as expected doesn't talk about it.

Elon Musk clowns BBC reporter.
BBC: "Twitter has become more full of hate since you took over!"
Musk: "Can you give me an example?"
BBC: "Uh, no, I don't read that feed. Let's talk about something else. How come you changed COVID labels?"
Musk: "COVID isn't as big of a concern anymore. So about the misinformation the BBS spread that's been proven false..."

Quote comes from about ~4:20 in the video.
Dude IS wrong about vaccines in general. Criticism of the Covid ones, and agencies (see second video), is quite cogent though, and the exact wrong response to vaccine-skepticism is trying to shutdown and quiet speech critical of it.
Because, like how incessently pushing the Covid vaccines has given it a push, not letting skeptics speak out and/or encourage people to seek out evidence themselves is going to only fuel general vaccine-skepticism instead of getting people to run headlong into actual evidence.
Because nobody does, and nobody should, trust the 'editorial judgement' of some jokers at a big media company--especially, as mentioned, after the shitshow those jokers participated in within the last three years.

See, this is why I'd be ok with RFK Jr. if he runs; he's one of the few Dems the media has tried to censor and shutdown because he doesn't go along with the prevailing Dem narrative on things.

If he runs he is gonna get the screwed over. They can't admit their covid actions were wrong. They are in too deep for that.
...I wish I could disagree, but I cannot say you are wrong in expecting that.
I'm just hoping his name recognition with the Boomers and remaining Greatest gens would make him have enough appeal to pull over significant independent/moderate GOP support, if the other options are Biden or Trump.
I never thought I'd see a Dem I feel comfortable voting for again, however RFK Jr. seems to actually be the old school classical liberal this country badly needs to help heal it's divides. He's a little iffy on a few things with regards to the climate and such, but overall strikes me as a non-socialist Bernie Sanders.

@Husky_Khan @Blasterbot @LordsFire on Crowder I stopped just as I did with Shapiro.
They are not the best on much anything.
They are Youtube personalities first and foremost. I agreed with some of their content but NOT all of them.
Hell from their POV it would be perfectly ok for my bank to screw me over having -1,86 euros in my balance (no my bank never did that thankfully they are bit precise but otherwise never did something like this).
From their perspective my father being a narcissistic boomer who sued her ex wive who had cancer would be perfectly normal.
Every time I heard talking about economy (except maybe taxes)sounded like they were talking preapproved subjects not on their own.
I listen to Dore sometimes and share it but even him says some bullcrap especially about Brazil or even if I would agree on some things with him it is because of my (making long story short) socially nationalconservative view of the world.
Even on his proposal for American healthcare he forgets or maybe is totally ignorant that the reason healthcare has been "free" in many areas of Europe is because taxes and prices are goddamn high for everything and it is slow for the basically everything, not to mention not all of Europe's healthcare is equal : Trieste is not the same as Wien or Oslo.
And some things you still have to pay it privately if you want them quicklier(Italy again!).
Not to mention that his defense of Lula makes my blood boil like a ravenous beast.
He is treating Lula like Enrico Berlinguer.
So, like any TV, movie and YT personas remember they are such and that they can be anything degenerate just like people on SP,AH and other forums.

Yeah I've been waffling on subscribing to the Daily Wire for like the past few years now and since I cancelled my Disney Plus account over them filing a lawsuit against DeSantis' Florida, I was thinking of doing it. But it's just... I don't... watch daily hour long political commentary videos which is like 98% of their content. Maybe if they have more long form interview/guest style podcasts since I do like those.
I do want to see their movies and all things considered, I'd much prefer Daily Wire being successful then Disney or any other big media conglomerate simply because I know my views would align with them infinitely more. And while I wouldn't agree with them with everything, far more preferable then just exclusively giving my money to people who loathe my values or do little to stop people from loathing my values.
Kinda hoping Daily Wire makes more non-directly political stuff though. Course for that they need more subscribers... but for more subscribers they need more content... and so forth. What a vicious cycle.

Is why they focused on what they did. they got what half a dozen daily shows? say what you will that is a lot of daily content generation. unfortunately they got about as much market capture as that strategy is going to give them. so now it is going to be that they need to branch out more to grow. they are trying that and having some success. but they need more than just 1 Gina movie to really claim that they make more than just political content.Yeah I've been waffling on subscribing to the Daily Wire for like the past few years now and since I cancelled my Disney Plus account over them filing a lawsuit against DeSantis' Florida, I was thinking of doing it.

Wow apparently the Discord leaker Jack Texeira was surrounded by assault weapons and tactical gear. Good job on the FBI managing to capture him without it turning into a bloodbath. Sending the SWAT Team clearly wasn't an overreaction or anything.
And good work Catherine Herridge on the first rate reportage from CBS!
Someone made a screenshot of the Tweet as well thankfully.

what some guy who joined the military had an airsoft hobby? impossible. that stuff is for nerdy white folks.
He is in a nerdy job.
Trust me, we get worse
You kind of expect people in the military to have gear like that
