“Biden withholding hurricane aid to red states” WAS a big story last year, and it wasn’t even fucking true.

Hadn’t even considered this as a possibility, but of course it’s gonna happen now. One of the most symbolically demoralizing acts I could imagine.

Starting to think this fella isn’t all that concerned about Constitutional rights.

I mean it isn’t rocket science. bp had two of the worst o&g disasters in history within a 5 year period, which tanked public confidence in the company and cemented the stock below competitors. They were never going to out-Exxon Exxon at this point, so the CEO took a big swing on renewables to try and make bp be market leaders in that area - which in hindsight was a swing and a miss. The Ukraine war was a double whammy as bp was forced to sell stake in Rosneft (thus losing a revenue stream that could help temper a slower transition) and the ensuing profits the other companies saw in traditional hydrocarbons slowed the energy transition to a crawl. It’s self-inflicted, but there’s a world where the early 2020’s energy optimism isn’t interrupted by Putin and bp comes out smelling like roses.

It’s funny to watch in real time people who were really, really wrong try and convince themselves that they weren’t really, really wrong.

George Washington would drown you in the Delaware for even pretending to believe any of this shit.

This really is a phenomenal read, for anyone who hasn't already clicked.

I actually think this is the biggest issue currently with Gillis, from both sides. I think where he is most comfortable is to be the contrarian voice in a room full of left-leaning people. You see this dynamic, and him thriving in it, in his early specials. The times are currently too polarized however for a nuanced viewpoint like this, so he just gets written off (or embraced) as MAGA... and people go into his sets already having decided whether or not they will like him based on this conclusion. I get the mantra that "a man is the company he keeps" and he hangs around some of the worst dudes on the planet, but if you listen to what he actually says in jokes/interviews and the endorsements, etc. that he HASN'T done, I think the label he has gained as a MAGA mascot is more due to our country's inability to handle nuance rather than a reflection of his actual beliefs. I can tell you that I saw him last year with what was a VERY obviously right-leaning crowd, and he seemed just as uncomfortable as that SNL performance.

Miles is the only evidence anyone needs to support the claim that the government is actively trying to destroy public education. Absolutely nobody involved thinks the man is doing a good job, except for those who actually have the power to fix the issue... if they wanted to.
