Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.
In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.
What a confession.

On DOJ's second attempt to indict New York AG Letitia James, out-of-state federal prosecutors were brought in to present the case to the grand jury. They did not convince them.

I don’t know, I still randomly trip out over the fact that the President told states to specifically gerrymander for him. And they did.

After 50 years of testing this theory, it is obvious that anyone who still argues Trickle-down economics is taking a position of belief alone and not evidence-based argument. It's dogma.
The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions.
We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Democratic Party politicians everywhere need to learn from observations like this.
the biggest lie in american politics, probably only second to bush lying us into iraq, has been democrats constantly telling us "we just can't..." only to watch republicans do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over. makes me sick.

Interesting thread.
Something I wonder about is if the much ballyhooed shift of Gen Z men to Trump (and to influencers like Andrew Tate) is a perverse consequence of this. Shielded from bullying throughout school, bullies in media then seem empowering and thrilling to them rather than threatening or exhausting
it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
