Heh, I had almost forgotten about "Grahamnesty". Rush is irreplaceable.

The Grahamnesty nickname was so good that all of the big conservative talk radio hosts like Steve Deace still call him that every chance they get. Republicans and the GOP establishment should keep in mind that the GOP had their best performance in the electoral college since 1988 in 2024 by running on the most right wing nativist/nationalist platform in modern US politics. The campaign speeches Trump gave in 2024 were extremely right wing.

Excellent summary of Lindsey Graham's constant and dangerously effective work to promote Amnensty ("Senator Grahmnesty" - R Limbaugh) and accelerated immigration.

" Along with his hawkery, immigration will stand as one of his defining issues–and he was on the wrong side of it."

Tucker had all the same horrible positions and yet scott greer defends him, even in spite of recent insanity.

I would say two things. Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2021 to 2023 was the highest rated cable news show in history, and during those years Tucker provided the most right wing monologues ever given to a large audience on TV. On multiple occasions he would say Joy Reid and MSNBC are the equivalent of Radio Rwanda (a major player in the Rwandan genocide). Tucker would also show the most graphic examples of random predatory violent crime ever shown on TV to a large audience during the crime wave of the early 2020s to attack Soros DAs. Tucker also wrote a blurb for Scott for No Campus For White Men, and Scott worked under Tucker at the Daily Caller. It is so sad to see what Tucker has become. He is basically Glenn Greenwald now.

One sees the complete degeneration when (as to your point) he literally says we have to accept the perpetrators of said crime in our midst to avert a civil war or some such twatphuckery. It's as if the hard hitting journalism you describe never happened.

Surprised to not see more people bringing this up. He was awful on this for so long up until 5 years ago.

Recently joined the lauded cognitive elite… where do I submit questions?

1) how do you respond to the argument that race is a social construct? From my understanding, it is a social construct, but that doesn’t make it a useless criteria / category. Why do many on the right get stumped by this?

2) thoughts on house of cards? Season 1 and 2 are incredible and then the rest of the show is living in their shadow. Interesting to see the political landscape pre-Trump and also pre-woke (at first). Any plans for IQ supplement on this show?
