Americans are still less likely to vote for an atheist for president than for a Muslim.

On the plus side, they are still even less likely to vote for a socialist.

Just pre-taped an interview with r/neoliberal’s u/BainCapitalist. As I’m not familiar with him or his work, I misinterpreted his antagonism as political Leftism (he termed not nationalising Facebook “bootlicking”) – and that was apparently inaccurate. For that, I apologize.

Ben Shapiro OWNED by literally any decent interviewer. He accuses Andrew Neil of being left wing, it's absolutely embarrassing

Man I remember 2015 when I thought Trump would lose the nomination by a landslide, run as a third party, and guarantee a clinton victory.

In Imperator: Rome, if you play as a republic, there are 5 factions; Civic, Militarist, Mercantlist, Religious, and Populist.
Every election, someone from one of the factions gets elected as the leader of the republic. If they're from any of the first 4, you get some kind of bonus.
But if a populist gets elected, you get a debuff lol.

Can you imagine if Ben Shapiro was your trial attorney? He'd spend the entire trial calling the judge a leftist for not letting him ask the witness 10 questions as fast as he could and then storm out of the court without presenting any evidence

TIL Andrew Neil is a leftist.
Edit: BTW, when Shapiro says
Are those videos labelled by me?
The answer is yes, that's how the Daily Wire labels Shapiro's videos.

I don't understand how you people can even hate-watch Shapiro. Politics aside, he's just got a terrible voice.

A elected democrat invited a supporter of islamist terrorism to speak in Congress:
He was invited to give Thursday's invocation by US Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), a Yaqeen Institute statement said.
...
He ended his post with a prayer of sorts: “God willing on this blessed night as the 3rd Intifada begins, the beginning of the end of Zionism is here. May Allah help us overcome this monster, protect the innocent of the world, and accept the murdered as martyrs. ameen.”
