“The Biden administration is being sued by Republican state attorneys general for allegedly colluding with social media platforms to violate individuals’ first amendment rights. And there’s plenty of evidence that this is precisely what happened, whether in emails sent from the White House directing Instagram to remove a parody Anthony Fauci website or Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki telling reporters that the White House was routinely alerting social media outlets to “problematic” posts.
Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the cozy relationship existing between the Biden White House and certain social media companies.”
“Nearly two years after the 2020 election happened, Republicans in Michigan are suing to overturn the state’s election results. These sore losers are never going to give it up, and at this point the best thing to do might be to just ridicule them into oblivion. But the threats that they pose to Democracy are very real, even if their mission is a laughable one. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Today’s date is Friday, September 9th in the year 2022, the 2022 midterms are now less than two months away. Major midterms, major races, major battles coming up control of the house at stake control of the Senate, maybe at stake, the future of the country, possibly at stake, big things happening here in the year 2022, but up in Michigan, Republicans are still living in the year 2020 and last Friday, September 2nd, 2022, a group of Republicans from the Maum county Republican party filed a federal lawsuit arguing that Michigan’s 20, 20 presidential election results needed to be overturned nearly two years after the 2020 election, two months until the next election Maum county Republicans up there in Michigan said, you know what? I guess it’s time we’ve waited long enough that we need to go ahead and overturn the 2020 election results from our states, right? Why not? We got nothing better going on at the moment.
Let’s just do this because that totally makes a lot of sense, right? This is absolutely one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever seen. And, and what they’re arguing in this idiotic lawsuit, which is totally false, is like Devo machines were never certified before they were used. They were not certified and approved by the state. So everything that happened on the voting machines, 100% illegal must be thrown out. And then of course, Donald Trump gets to gets to be the, the president of the United States. Again, even though actually he wouldn’t because even if he just flipped Michigan’s electoral college votes, Biden’s still gonna win. So I, I don’t even understand what you’re trying to do. Like even if your lawsuit were to be successful, there’s literally nothing that would change from it. Nothing your lawsuit would do nothing except cost you all the legal fees that you still have to pay to even file the lawsuit.
And, uh, uh, you better hope that the state of Michigan when they eventually win this suit because they will, um, I hope they come after you for their legal fees as well. So I hope you lose even more money from this absolutely ridiculous lawsuit that you filed almost two years after the 2020 election, there have been a lot of very intelligent Republican operatives, Republican strategists, hell, even Republican lawmakers. And I say intelligent, not because I like these people, but because they’re smart, right credit where it’s due, they’re evil bastards, but not all of them are brain dead idiots. Some of them are actually very politically smart
And they have warned us repeatedly. Not us. The Republican party warned the Republican party. Please stop talking about 2020. That hurts us every time you do it. So they go out there. They say things like let’s look forward, not backwards. Let’s, uh, be the party of the future. Not the party of, oh my God, we lost. We’re gonna cry like babies. Literally for years, Republicans have been crying about 2020 for two years. Now. They have been throwing these temper tantrums in court for two years and apparently it’s never going to end. It will never stop. They’re gonna continue to be the biggest sore loser, idiot, whiny fat little babies that we have ever seen in this country.”
“Poll after poll has shown that the Republicans’ assault on women’s reproductive freedom is a losing issue for the GOP, and it could end up costing them gains in the midterms. In spite of the empirical data, Jim Jordan said on Fox News this week that Republicans need to “lean into it” and start talking more about how they are the pro-life Party. There’s nothing pro-life about being forced birth, and most of the country understands that. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses Jordan’s statement.

While I would never accuse Republican representative Jim Jordan of being a secret Democrat. I do have to wonder his motivation for a recent piece of advice that he gave to Republican candidates across the country. During a recent interview on Fox news, when asked about the overturning, the Dobbs decision, overturning Roe versus Wade and how that is hurting Republicans in the polling hurting Republican candidates, Jim Jordan responded and gave this advice to Republican candidates lean into it. We’re the pro-life party. We’re going to protect the sanctity of human life. And Democrats have the radical position. They’re the ones that think that you should be able to take the unborn child’s life right up until their birthday for God to sake. that is frightening. So lean into it. We’re the party that’s going to protect the sanctity of human life. Like we’ve always been, this was a huge win for the precious nature of human life.
And I don’t think we should shy away from it. Oh dude, I agree. Like lean into it. As hard as you can, Republicans, every time you go out there and you talk to a crowd of people, make sure they know that you support not letting women control what happens with their own bodies. Let’s see how that plays out. Oh, we don’t even have to wait by the way, because we’ve already seen it. Not only have Democrats shot way up in the polls to the point where they may actually retain control of the house of representatives. Republicans are now poised to lose seats in the Senate, following that Dobs decision. And we have Republican candidates, some of the more extreme Republican candidates, at least about a dozen of them that have totally scrubbed the abortion section off of their websites because they know it’s a toxic issue for them.
A majority of Americans do not support that Supreme court decision, a super majority, by the way, a super majority of Americans support the right of women to be able to terminate a pregnancy. Cuz y’all went a little too far, right? I always compare it to IOUs. You’re doing fine. You’re flying along. You’re winning. You’re free. You’ve escaped. But you flew too close to the sun cuz you got too greedy, your hubris and your arrogance and your pride have become your downfall because it’s not just enough, right? That you got abortion outlawed. You had to say, Hey, guess what? Even in the cases of incest and rape and then you went out there, not you specifically Jim, but other Republicans said rape babies are an opportunity. It’s an opportunity for the woman who was literally just injected with the semen of a rapist and now forced to change her entire life forever because of Republican policies. Very few people in this country actually support that. Believe it or not.
And Republicans as Jim Jordan is saying should lean into it. Start talking about that. Tell these women, Hey, if you get raped, what a good opportunity for you? Think of all the possibilities that can come from that. So I guess if you’re getting raped, you should immediately start thinking like, oh, I wonder what color I’m gonna paint the nursery. Is that what you want Jim? Because that seems to me like that’s what you want. And by all means, keep talking about it. Please tell Republicans, give them this terrible advice to keep talking about it and embrace it because I promise you, you do that. Any Republican, you follow Jim Jordan’s advice. You’ve just handed control of the house back to the Democrats. Once again for at least another two years, hopefully longer”
“In a recent post on Truth Social, Donald Trump went off the deep end and accused Fox News of somehow helping to push the Democratic Party’s agenda. As if that claim wasn’t stupid enough, he then suggested that CNN should go full conservative to steal Fox’s audience and then CNN would make a ton of money. The man is completely off his rocker if he believes that Fox is helping the Democrats, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

So this past weekend, Donald Trump went on a tear on truth, social, um, talking about how Fox news, of course, as we all know, has become this very Democrat liberal network, right? I mean, that’s, that’s totally, what’s happened at Fox news according to Donald Trump. So here’s what he said on truth, social. Wow. Fox news is really pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions. Then Republican counterparts get creamed. If low ratings see it in ever went conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine and I would help them do so. Really you’d help ’em cause it seems like your own little media company of which truth. Social is a part of, um, seems like you’ve got enough problems with your own media company, not doing well. I don’t know that anybody should take your advice about anything actually.
I mean, thinking about it, there’s nothing that you should take Donald Trump’s advice about. But if you think that Fox news has gone liberal or that anything about Fox news is pushing the so-called Democrats agenda, then it may be time to turn yourself into the men and white coats and go sit in a padded room for a while because that’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard in my life. What Trump is actually mad about is that there are some schisms in Fox news, a couple little cracks, some fissures, some craters starting to form because not everybody on the network is willing to any longer continue to blindly support Donald Trump. We have seen Steve Ducey talk about the severity of the documents that Donald Trump took from the white house. Basically laying out the case that, yeah, this is messed up. This is not good. He’s screwed up big time.
We have seen Carl Rove. You know, one of the, I don’t wanna say best Republican strategist, cuz he’s an evil bastard, but he is good at what he does. Carl. Roe’s been out there recently trashing Donald Trump on the network and they’ve just let him talk. But just because he is trashing Donald Trump doesn’t mean he’s praising the Democrats. You know, you can attack Republicans without praising the Democrats and saying that they’re the best things since slice bread. I know I do it every day. That doesn’t mean I hate the Democrats either, by the way, I want them to be better and I will criticize them until they are, which will be forever. But the Republicans, you can’t have any sign of dissent. You can have no sign of being an independent thinker. And that’s what Donald Trump off. He wants total full and complete loyalty. And if you are not willing to show that to him, like some of these people on Fox news
Now then clearly you’re liberal. It doesn’t matter that you’re pushing tax cuts for the wealthy. It doesn’t matter that you want to criminalize the transgender community or the entire LGBTQ community for that matter. It doesn’t matter that you wanna ship immigrants back to their home countries. After leaving them in cages for six months, you can do all the good little things that all the good little Republicans want you to do. But if you don’t say you love Donald Trump, then hell you might as well be up there campaigning for John Federman, right? I hope you got a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker to stick on your car. You liberal. That’s what’s happening in Trump’s mind. And the only crime that again, a few, a few of these Fox news hosts have committed is saying, wow, kind of looks like Trump broke the law.”
