Last paragraph here is so devastating.
I’m not going to go back and forth with you (it’s football season for God’s sake!), but I can’t believe you’re actually denying this interaction so I’ll jog your memory:
August of 2016, during the Olympics, at the (now shuttered) Intercontinental hotel, a couple blocks from the Fox lot off Pico.
We had just finished a night show that no longer exists where (among other things) we debated the Summer Olympics (it was a bad segment because we didn’t have rights to the footage, so we could only show still pictures of what we were talking about) & went to have a drink/meal with a colleague who was on the show with us.
The exchange I discussed happened in the lobby bar, at a table with said colleague, and then after I said what I needed to say to to you I went outside and bummed a cigarette off a valet.
We haven’t spoken in person since.
You know as well as I do this is 100% true, and verifiable, by the colleague that was with us and/or our then bosses who contemporaneously heard the story.
We actually also had the same agent at the time, and you and I both know he heard the story and could confirm it as well.
So, I’ll pull a page out of your book; I’ll bet you $1,000,000 I’m telling the truth.
I assume you’ll pretend you never saw this tweet & continue the grift. And that’s cool, but we both know what the facts are.
Also, let this be a reminder that while you have found an amazing lane where you often are actually the smartest guy in the room, this ain’t that lane. So my advice would be to tread carefully.
Guys are so simple and stupid that the methods to extract critical national security information from one of the most powerful men in the world, or get crack from some dude on the corner are exactly the same.
Both cases just “what if we suck his dick a little bit?”

My dad always says: “the only person who wants to hear an excuse is the person giving it” and I think about that a lot.
NEW: Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) missed the Hegseth impeachment vote as absent Dems doomed the effort. Pettersen says she was "denied" the ability to vote.
She was at an event but her team won't say which one. They said she got stuck in traffic and Rs should have held the vote.

It would never happen. But if Dems actually wanted to sell M4A to people it would include a stipulation that whatever company contribution to your premium get converted to compensation. That would almost certainly fully mitigate any tax burden on workers and usually be a raise.
Respectfully, Medicare For All proponents aren't being fully transparent about what this poll actually says— not with their supporters, and possibly not with themselves.
Yes, 66% of Americans support Medicare For All according to this KFF poll. But according to that same poll, when people find out that M4A would require raising taxes on the middle class, support drops to 35%. (See the attached charts from the poll.)
And yes, in addition to taxing the wealthy, taxes would have to be raised on the middle class to fund M4A.
And do you know what else the poll showed? 70% of Medicare For All supporters also think they’d have the option to keep their current insurance, which means they actually support a public option. That’s something the newly elected senators in Texas, Iowa, and South Carolina also support — the Democrats who actually delivered this majority.
Here’s the real polling data, instead of just the cherry-picked parts: According to KFF, 79% of Americans want the government to do more to bring down healthcare costs. Which is exactly what Medicare For Americans (or a variation with a public option) would do. It’s a better way to give universal healthcare to Americans who are sick of how insurance companies treat them when they’re sick.
So to recap: 79% is higher than 66%, and it’s way higher than 35%, which is the support M4A has when people find out what it will actually cost them.

People are doing way too much with Russini. The takeaway should be journalistic ethics not moral proselytizing about her marriage.

I promise if he gave any kind of a boilerplate “just looking for tendencies. They’re a strong group, film is good, better than the stats show.” answer that a starting QB gives nobody would have even seen that clip let alone talk about it.
