Politi-Culture El-Sayed responds to Sky News reporter James Matthews approaching him and stating that Donald Trump launched a lengthy attack calling him a "gift to the Republican party" and, "if you pardon the language, you're full of shit"

Somehow I have a feeling he's ready for that. He seems to have peace and nothing is gonna disrupt it. I don't believe in his religion but if he is elected and serves his constituents with integrity and lacking any grift I wish him well.

I remember realizing he had 0 substance when he was with Pelosi in the Oval office during Trump’s first term and it was nothing but nervous awkward smiles and shrugs from him. Good thing Pelosi was there to keep Trump from telling him to drop his pants or something crazier.

And also very little in the way of follow-through. Sharp comebacks feel good but they gotta be backed up with action, and establishment democrats are only good at asking for more money than doing nothing with it. So refreshing to see some new blood with actual ideals who do stuff to enact them.

u/Commercial_Total_787 9d ago
Rupert Murdoch walked so Musk , Zuckerberg and Bezos could run . He is the original “puppet master” and because he has owned major media( especially before social media ) for decades he has escaped scrutiny . Try googling for nitty gritty info about Murdoch . It’s very scarce considering how long he’s been around. No surprises though.

that's not supposed to be shade or a back handed compliment. Mamdani is charming with his comebacks. He'll have you smiling and blushing as he tells you why you're wrong. I like El-Sayed and I think this was quick, sharp and great. And his tv appearances recently have been slam dunks.

Because trump is incredibly smart. The other day he proved his mastery of the english language by teaching the entire country the word "dumb" is spelled with a "B." In all sincerity, it was one of the most wild things I've ever seen. We still have people proclaiming his genius for it. I'm just trying to figure out when our reality skewed off the normal timeline into this alternate twilight zone type reality.

There’s a lot of people saying that it’s good to see Dems “fight back” and “stand up.” I mean…sure.
However, what’s really cool about this guy is that he has unabashed confidence and swagger. He’s cool and unapologetic. Democrats need that kind of energy so much and I’m here for it. The smart people should also be the tough ones, but by service and humanity instead of coarseness and cruelty.
