  1. This attack doesn’t work any more. People go to the source material rather than rely on the media to characterize things for them and the media are so over the top that it sets off BS meters. Continuing to do it is a big mistake.

        1. Right RIght Dishonest much still pictures of the arm extended how bout the video of how it got there did they go to the chest then out? . Why no video of all these instances?

          1. All that time you spent in high school watching Hogan’s Heroes didn’t go to waste. I thought that was the secret gesture Odd Fellows use to recognize each other. Thank you for letting us know The Truthâ„¢.

          2. Musicals are only popular with a few niche groups of people, theater nerds being the largest. A large segment of this niche are media people because at heart, they are actors.

            What they are doing to Musk is intentional and that is what makes the carefully crafted deception all the worse.

            Any theater nerd would immediately recognize the gesture Musk made as one an actor uses to thank their audience.

            My heart goes out to you.

            I’m not even a theater nerd and I know this so my culturally sophisticated betters must also know it right?

    1. He got cancelled because he interviewed Putin.

      IIRC, Lex either wants to or has one set up. Will he get cancelled too? No, of course not.

        …and attributing piloting and possession of UAPs to “spiritual beings on Earth” on porpoise… 🙂

  2. I always find the inclusion of Franco in the fascist pantheon amusing, but for mostly personal reasons.

    My Dad once got into a barroom argument with Patrick J. Buchanan at the St. Louis Press Club, when Buchanan was a columnist at the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Buchanan railed against Franco’s fascism, why my Dad merely pointed out that Franco accepted Hitler’s help to defeat Stalin’s attempt to install communism Spain, but refused to side with the Axis in WW-II. In short, my Dad’s position was that Franco saved Spain from communism without imposing the kind of fascism espoused by the Axis. Buchanan’s retort was “Ray…you’re a right-wing extremist!”

    A week later, Buchanan’s Globe Democrat column praised Franco as the savior of Spain from Stalinist communism.

    I only heard my Dad’s side of this, and have tried to confirm it with Buchanan, unsuccessfully. But I consider it recreationally true, because it gives me a shorthand way to summarize my political upbringing – as the son of a man who was called a right wing extremist by Patrick J. Buchanan.

    1. I’m not well read enough on the war to ferret out the truth of it all but reading the commentary back and forth there is an option often not considered, that neither side was good and you need not pick, or assign, one or the other, especially in the context of today’s politics.

      Maybe my opinion would change with some research but that’s my out. Time is limited and my interests already pull me in too many different directions.
