Somebody said hello in the comments.
Hi.
But I think what really struck me was how lazy Caroline Levitt's lie was today, like saying it's a frame from The Lion King when The Lion King for a very long time, most of my life was the highest grossing animated film.
I don't know a single soul who hasn't seen it.
We all know that there aren't gorillas in it and there certainly aren't palm trees that look like that.
It's just so stupid.
And she, you know, really boasts about being a young mother and being pregnant and having a kid on the way.
And I'm like, well, do you watch the movies your kids are watching?
Because this is the most popular animated film, you know, before Frozen and I guess most recently Zootopia 2.
So I think it's like actually damning to come up with a very lazy lie, which also like to your point,
makes it easy for the president to undermine her and say well he's just another person who works here without naming that person without calling for them to be fired without a real apology um just more of the same and so i think especially in black history month it's like a real slap in the face to black people in this country um but you know it's just more of the same from this racist administration hassan what do you say
He's not exactly hairy, but he's not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
mean that's the thing like the fact that we could have a list of most racist things said by a president is ridiculous i don't know another president that i could do that for and be like confident that i have tin maybe ronald reagan but at least he was smart enough to code it like this is just blatant racism
i think what shocks me about this entire situation is just how they're really relying on the idea that people are so horrible these days that they would allow this to go unchecked that people will just continue on i mean i
love the olympics the opening ceremony for the winter olympics just happened and i was like wow what a celebration of humanity across the globe and i this for the first time i think in my life watching team usa come out who i am rooting for i was just like i feel bad for them like it sucks that this is what they have to represent and i wish that dan scavino would just end donald trump's career already if he has that power use the power dan i don't know if it's i mean if this ends his career because i think that
No, they would not care.
Listen, things are getting worse, so how will we know, right?
I think that the trajectory is downward, like the stock market's in the shitter.
