So if I can shoot rabbits… Then I can shoot fascists?

It doesn’t exist, how is that hard to admit for you? Freedom of speech is intended to protect exactly the kind of speech you disagree with, otherwise it’s not a thing. “Largely free” = NOT FREE

You mean freedom of speech… That’s what you’re saying is not an important value? The freedom to speak truth to power without the goon squad kicking down your door? Clearly that is being eroded in the US right now, but China certainly doesn’t have it.

Yes. Fearmonger more. You keep up that driving! The rest of us will take advantage of more spare time to read while we cruise smoothly by the cars sitting in traffic. Truly a nightmare.

Her organization failed. As the head of the organization her job is to accept the failure and resign. Doesn’t matter the exact reason, she needs to take the fall. Trump never should have been cleared to speak if his safety wasn’t guaranteed. And I fucking hate the guy, but the secret service fucked up, a whole bunch of them should probably be fired, top brass first. Absolutely absurd to imagine they should keep their job after this. Normal people get fired for undercooking chicken, missing a day of work or delivering a package to the wrong place, what are we protecting here?

She should get a promotion maybe? Some extra paid vacation time to sort it out and deal with all the extra stress? Several people are in here with this ridiculous take, I don’t get it.

She failed as the head of an extremely important high stakes organization. She no longer has the faith of those she reports to. Should have offered her resignation the day after it happened. That would have been at least been honorable, anything less is ridiculous.

Holy shit some of you really suck if you dont understand how lame it is to not hire people who disagree with you. Im not conservative by any measure, but who wants to live in a world where you cant do a job if you slightly disagree with your coworker? Thats insane.

Eh, thats pretty lame.

Yeah I was looking for someone to mention this… Like, sure, the guy could be a frothing at the mouth racist, that’s certainly possible. Or… There is some personal beef, without more information I dunno how everyone is so sure. He doesn’t say anything overtly racist, we know what it looks like but that isn’t the only possibility. Is there something I missed that justifies everyone’s confidence here?

When was this? Pretty sure we didn’t have anything like this anywhere near us growing up in MA… Although there are always weird exceptions. I foolishly feel like I gotta mention that not everyone who grew up in Mass had experiences anything like this. I’m about to be 40 fwiw.

Great podcast! I immediately checked to see if they had a new episode after reading this headline, gotta check it out. Thinking the same thing about the fake shutdowns… One of these days he is finally gonna be right tho.
