It's always nice when some people can now have the term "former" in front of their name. It's so great to hear former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler. Well now she can also be called former WNBA Atlanta Dream owner. A new ownership group has purchased the team with retired Dream player Renee Montgomery as one of the new co-owners.
The Atlanta Dream made headlines last year when Loeffler took objection with the players political activism supporting Black Lives Matter so the players responded by supporting her opponent in the Georgia elections. They all posed with "Vote Warnock" t-shirts on and worked hard to get the vote out. It was so spectacular how those ladies handled that situation.

Speaking of sports, current AC Milan player and major ******* Zlatan Ibrahimovic criticized LeBron James and other athletes saying they shouldn't get involved politically or socially. He said "Do what you do, do the category you do". So he was basically echoing that blonde Fox News ***** Laura Ingram a few years ago when she also criticized athletes getting involved by saying "Shut up and dribble". This infuriates me to no end. Who the **** are you to say athletes or celebrities should stay out of political and social issues!!!!! They have rights to comment or get involved politically or socially just the same as me or anyone else has. Why does playing sports or being involved in entertainment disqualify you from having opinions?!?!

That's just it, they're explicitly not airing the lies. They're being extra double careful to not air the lies, even if they're not the ones pushing them, because they're scared of the lawsuits that are sure to follow. And instead of calling out the lies for what they are, they urge the base to find the lies themselves, because they want to further the lies without getting their asses held over the fire. It's transparent and it's absolutely ****ing pathetic.
People don't have a problem with celebrities using their platform to get a message out. People have a problem with the message.
The right says they don't want to hear from celebrities, but then they sure latch on when Jon Voight (not the dentist), Dean Cain and Chachi push their narratives.
...
****-eating McCarthy is a ****ing joke. Politicians do tend to be two-faced, but this ****ing jackass can't even remember which face he's supposed to be wearing at any given moment. Right trash.

Maybe in some backwoods town diner on Sunday after morning service with a bunch of 50+ year old white folks....
Edit* I just looked up esoteric. I'm guessing the tweet is pointing out the irony.

In my experience the only thing those people are talking about is the got damn bill collectors always callin on the phone, spoofin numbers, drivin me up a wall, and hollerin at the kids to get up because if y'ain't early yer late! Boy if you ain't ready by the time I leave fer werk you'll afta drive the lawnmower to school again! Don't forget to fill the gas can on yer way home! Earn yer keep and quit spendin all my damn money!

"In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness." ~Hannah Arendt (The Origins of Totalitarianism)
Came across this quote from Hannah Arendt's book analyzing the rise of totalitarian regimes in the first half of the 20th century. Kind of chilling how entirely accurate a description of Trump's America this is ... turbo-charged for the Internet Age.

Amazing coincidence that the incredibly inpractical CPAC stage design is identical to the Odal Rune design adopted by the Nazi SS and adopted by the American national socialist movement in 2016.

There is a point you reach where you have to question just how many coincidentally Nazi things there are going on for it to stop being coincidence...The outline of the stage is like looking at it but upside down. For me it looks kind of coincidental but... nothing would surprise me about this.

Also, they wouldn't want to issue a firm disassociation, because that would upset some of their supporters.
