If it weren't for that great American idea of "free speech" none of us would know who the idiots were

Yes, the short Russian must have big problems working out who is an idiot.

Some levity from North America:
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Wednesday after meeting with Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) that the freshman lawmaker was not telling the truth when he made claims about an “orgy” invitation and alleged drug use among unnamed members of Congress.

Cawthorn’s comments, which he made during a podcast interview last week, had outraged some of his fellow congressional Republicans, leading to Wednesday’s meeting at the Capitol with McCarthy and other House GOP leaders.

“This is unacceptable,” McCarthy told reporters Wednesday after meeting with Cawthorn, Axios reported. “There’s no evidence to this.”

McCarthy added that Cawthorn “changes what he tells” and “did not tell the truth,” describing his actions as “not becoming of a congressman.”

I think it was disgraceful how the Hollywood set gave Smith a standing ovation later in the evening at the Oscars. Here is the dorky simp arriving at the Oscars. Acting like a boofhead earlier in the evening too:

Trump Social copped a review in a Washington Post opinion piece. It's struggling:
I promptly forgot about Truth Social. Apparently, so did everybody else. The Wrap, an entertainment news website, reported this week that the app has seen a 93 percent drop in sign-ups (weekly installs on the Apple App Store have fallen from 872,000 at launch to just 60,000, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower) and a “similarly steep decline in traffic.” Truth Social had almost 1 million daily visits at launch, but that has fallen to fewer than 300,000 — well below Gab, a social media site that attracts white supremacists, according to SimilarWeb, another analytics firm.

Seems Trump’s social media venture is headed the way of Trump University, Trump’s Atlantic City casinos, Trump’s charities, Trump mattresses, Trump steaks, Trump clothing, Trump perfume, Trump lighting, Trump floor coverings, Trump eyewear, the Trump presidency and American democracy.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... 1aa115dde8
But this week, I got the coveted email welcoming me to Truth Social, with the caveat that “we are still fixing many bugs.” Sure enough, I clicked on the provided link to my profile — and got an error message. Eventually, I followed all the accounts Truth suggested for me, including Kyle Rittenhouse, Maria Bartiromo, the Epoch Times, Hot Chicks Golfing, Dr. Fauci Sucks, Sean Hannity, Eric Trump, Fake Hunter Biden, Dan Bongino, Breitbart News, Donald Trump Jr. and Donald Trump. House Republican leaders are on the platform, with red checkmarks instead of Twitter’s blue. In fact, the whole thing looks similar to Twitter, with “Truths” instead of tweets; the only differences are the lack of functionality and users.

I searched for the hashtag #Ukraine, hopped into the rabbit hole and was quickly swimming in a cesspool.

There were posts from Russian state propaganda. There was a doctored image of Trump holding a sign saying “Zelensky is the Avenatti of leaders.” There was a doctored video of Putin saying “Let’s go, Brandon.” There were posts about Ukrainian leaders being corrupt. There was a claim that Ukraine is “defending the NWO” — New World Order.

What about Chris Rock? The crack he made about Will Smith's wife was disgraceful. What has happened to him as a result of this fiasco?

Doodoo, there are jokes, and there are really bad taste statements that are not a bit funny. I suggest Chris Rock stepped well and truly over that line. It was not about Will Smith, it was about his wife's medical condition.

Apparently he was heckled at the first venue on his tour after the Oscars event which has reportedly now sold out.

You think Chris Rock was out of line? You need to watch a few rounds of Frankie Boyle's standup.

Standup PI comedians are not exactly a rarity. Prefer a less obvious ones like Tim Michin

Still looks to me that Will Smith is copping with all the criticism while Chris Rock came out of it without damage to his brand. Frankly, if this had happened at a private event where Rock dissed Smiths wife, I doubt if much would have happened.

Rock was out of line and got bitch slapped, maybe it was not right, but hardly surprising.

C'mon GT.

Hollywood arrivals are all about big arrivals. The dresses, even the outlandish clothes of guys, WS was promoting his brand at an over the top event by being over the top.

OK, how about the Republicans rejecting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court? I kind of sense they aren't ready to accept a black shiela, no matter how well qualified:
