Jimmy Dore on Alex Jones in Particular, and 1A in General

This image has NOTHING to do with the facts at hand or the story that follows.

This, then, is Jimmy's first reaction to the wave of Alex Jones banning. I've heard hours of him talking about this, both on his show and on Rogan, so his position is clear, and IMHO thought-provoking.

Reminder: George W. Bush Is Still Very, Very Bad

Well, someone finally let the shoe drop.

Reminder: George W. Bush Is Still Very, Very Bad
He's not cute! Why is everyone saying he's cute?

Jingoism: Right-wing Identity Politics

Liberals, in virtually every instance, make the mistake of assuming that since their identity politics is exclusively race, gender, and sexual orientation, that right-wing identity politics must be the same, but opposite.
