“Social Security, another just obscenely broken program. What a complete fraudulent program Social Security is. They garnish all of our wages, then they spend all that — none of it goes to Social Security. “It’s a complete and total looting of the productive class to supplement the unproductive class, to create total fealty to the Democrat Party, and to scare …

The Daily Beast reports: MAGA trolls wasted no time spewing racist epithets online after a Mexican Navy sailing ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing 2 crew members. “In an absolutely stunning modern metaphor a ship blaring Mexican music and flying a massive Mexican flag just got destroyed by the Brooklyn bridge,” wrote right-wing serial plagiarist and misinformation peddler Benny …

Media Matters has the transcript: How deep was the attack against President Trump? I don’t think I have any pictures of it. I’d have to check. But I was invited to Mike Pompeo’s office. And right at the beginning of COVID, I got invitations to meet with Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo. Now, you know, you’re an influencer, you’re somebody …

“Will it lead to recession? I don’t know. I’ll leave that for people with much higher IQs. I went to community college. But is Scott Bessent on a warpath to create a wall around our home? And I like using the home analogy, the metaphor. I’m sorry, it’s gonna get old. But Scott Bessent is out there to reinforce against …

“There were definitely some warning signs about Amy Commie Barrett, but, it is a despicable thing that this has happened again. You know, there’s this — Sandra Day O’Connor was this Ronald Reagan appointee to the court, and she was supposed to be this, like, rock ribbed conservative, and they all go left. They all swing left. “What happened yesterday …

“If the trade is that I experience and you experience and we all experience some short-term pain in a 401(k) or in the market, money’s liquid, man. Losing money costs you absolutely nothing. Losing your country costs you everything. “Option B is to preserve this country and to strengthen it and to put up walls around this nation to make …

“Now, there’s something far more pernicious and nefarious going on here that is really bad. And I really do hope that Goldberg gets charged for possession of national defense information. It’s what they charged Trump with. The entire Mar-a-Lago raid was predicated upon what Jeff Goldberg just did. “He had, according to him, classified information that he was retaining. National …

“If you’re a member of Congress and you’re asked about, like, do rich people pay more money? The reporter’s like, rich people pay a lot more into the system than poor people.

Axios reports: A fake theory about Politico being funded by the government is catching fire in right-wing circles.

The story appears to have started when Politico missed …

“Here comes the Mexican president. Now a reminder that the Mexican president, fresh off of her being triggered by the Gulf of America name change. ALX, do we have that clip? I really wanna play that one because that was really, really fun. If we can load that up, please. “So she’s fresh off of a hysterical menopausal meltdown over …

“Lisa Murkowski’s state in Alaska. They have something called rank choice voting there, which is this deeply confusing model of voting that is intended to actually sabotage Republican and populist candidates by mudding the water. “Lisa Murkowski is a nepo baby. She’s probably IQ of 50. She’s a vengeful witch. She’s a nasty person like most low IQ people are. …

PolitiZoom reports: Birds of a feather flock together. On that premise, the fact that the pussy grabber in chief has nominated degenerate Pete Hegseth to lead a huge agency like the Department Of Defense has come as no surprise. It makes complete sense. And when Matt Gaetz was nominated for Attorney General, that also made sense. It was not expected …

“I’m so sick of being lied to, ladies and gentlemen. I’m sick of it. Kash Patel does need to fire these people. We do need Kash Patel, like, immediately. And, I mean, there’s, like, legitimately just not enough time. There’s not enough time. “Also, why weren’t the security barriers up? They have these iron barriers there. Was this an inside …

Axios reports: President-elect Trump’s MAGA allies wasted little time after his election win before openly celebrating that the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 will set the agenda for his administration.

The Daily Beast reports: The moderator for Kamala Harris’s Univision town hall personally debunked yet another teleprompter conspiracy theory cooked up by right-wing influencers.

“Warning to all about our beloved pets and those around us. My neighbor informed me that her daughter’s friend had lost her cat. “One day she came home from work and as soon as she stepped out of her car, she looked towards a neighbor’s house where Haitians live and say her cat hanging from a branch like you’d do …

The Daily Beast reports: This week’s Department of Justice indictments of the employees of RT, Russia’s premiere state-controlled propaganda outlet, have been met with mockery and jeering in Moscow. Margarita Simonyan, RT’s editor-in-chief, posted a bevy of messages on her Telegram channel—and none of them sounded like denials. In one of her first reactions on Telegram, Simonyan mocked the authorities …

Posted by Benny Johnson: A year ago, a media startup pitched my company to provide content as an independent contractor. Our lawyers negotiated a standard, arms length deal, which was later terminated. We are disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme. My lawyers will handle anyone …
