Trump's buddy Peter Thiel is bad, oh no this must mean...his support for Trump was a ruse all along, it couldn't possibly say anything about Trump that he's constantly surrounded by evil rich people like Thiel and Epstein and Ivanka Trump!

The only thing I'm familiar with Dan Crenshaw doing recently is he publically positioned himself as "A real conservative, not like the people in Marjorie Taylor Greene's cadre." So, could be Ben's still on the Q train, or it could be a coincidence where Ben actually believes a very specific conspiracy theory about World Economic Forum.

Zorch! Splat! Pow!
Crenshaw has been on the list of commie RINO traitors for a while because he supported "common sense gun control" or something like that.

e: oh, turns out it's a worse sin than that. From last August: Dan Crenshaw heckled and called a RINO for saying 2020 election wasn’t stolen

Look at this poo poo. Look at it. It's like a Where's Waldo but instead of Waldo you're looking for the actual cartoon. The only way you can find it is because the only blank spaces he allows is around his dialogue. The subject is the least detailed part of the whole thing. It's a cluttered attention donut. They're not even in the foreground, ffs.

Man there's a lot of dumb poo poo here. Where to begin?

-Rorschach tests don't have a correct answer you dipshit.
-That's not a woman, it's just a symbol that is generally used to represent women. But not accurately, because obviously not all women wear skirts. If an alien saw that symbol on a restroom they would assume that only people who wear skirts would be allowed in. It has absolutely nothing to do with biology. We just collectively agree that that symbol means "women". Or in other words, gender is a social construct.

Rall: So Many Exceptions There Are No Community Standards

Ted Rall posted:

The parent company of Facebook and Instagram constantly brags that it does everything that it can in order to reduce violent speech on its platforms. However, it makes exceptions for political hate speech that they happen to agree with. Can you really call them standards if you have exceptions to them?

I know republicans are stupid and and petty and evil in a whole lot of ways, but there's something extra sickening about turning a hearing into a loving tribunal of "explain these basic concepts to me like I was a child, and if you try to explain them that is the wrong answer because I don't know poo poo and I don't want to know poo poo and I am currently working to murder public education so kids hopefully don't know poo poo either."

the world would objectively be a better place if every single one of these assholes just went away forever


Now Ted Rall never having noticed how extremely okay social media are with hate crimes and actively harmful rhetoric is just regular "lol gently caress off" material.

Before, shill as he was, he was able to be his natural contrarian-self and come off ok, at least in that he was just attacking the US, which sure, the US sucks a lot of the time.

But here he has to actively defend the Russians during their War and man it's very uncomfortable to see. I never thought anything about his moral fiber but this can't be worth the paycheck can it?

Did you forget that Rall repeatedly attempted to murder a kid in high school, had sex with multiple women when he thought he had HIV, and told a story about how he once murdered a homeless man?

The "murder a homeless man" is from a story told by Ken Kurson in this opinion piece he wrote for The Observer in 2015 (after Rall was fired from the LA Times).

Here's the relevant quote;

Ken Kurson posted:

In 1995, Ted Rall and his wife came for dinner at the Chelsea apartment I shared with Becky, who was then my girlfriend. My co-worker at Worth magazine, Monica Corcoran, was there and the writer Paul Lukas was there, too, as was the illustrator Marie Javins. I was the editor of a fanzine I’d founded called Green and Ted had written (and illustrated) stories for us about the costs of getting married and about what a rip off college is. We didn’t really know each other—that might have been the first time we actually met in person. A funny thing happened. Ted had just published a book that was getting some buzz and Paul Lukas picked up the book from our end table and said, “Hey, this is the new Ted Rall?” and I said “Yeah, this is the actual Ted Rall” and introduced them.

And then Ted told the whole room a story that blew our minds. He said that a few years earlier, he had gotten into an altercation on a subway platform with a vagrant. A physical struggle ensued and Ted ended up either pushing the guy or he fell onto the tracks. And the train came, presumably killing the guy. Ted told us this in a very matter-of-fact way.

We all asked him, “What the hell? What happened to the guy?” And Ted replied that he didn’t know what became of the guy and had had no choice. All of us were aghast.

Finally, we can have a serious conversation about sports rorts and tort reform.

I think it's safe to say Rall is "not ok" in some form or fashion like nearly all of these artists. He is thankfully too dumb to filter out those thoughts so it's easier for his peers to see it.

Yeah I'm not sure how many of those stories are true but the fact that Rall thinks that they're cool and good and make him look awesome proves he has no moral fiber even if they're completely fabricated.
