Thanks again Brad for giving us this neatly encapsulated account of the weekly madness. I can't imagine how many articles and idiotic quotes you need to sift through to bring this to us every week. You must be either a saint or a masochist!

Some of these quotes are just glorious in their tone deafness. I love them so much.

Taylor Lorenz, queen of Karens, is either an epic troll or perhaps one of the funniest comedians of our time.

I would love to see her greatest fantasy come true and have a real left-wing party come to power—imagine the look on her face when the Revolution knocks on the front door of her Brooklyn brownstone and tells her they're confiscating it for "the people" and she has an hour to evacuate.

Now that would be Social Justice!

It's always fun to read Al Gore's latest musings. He's like Mary Pickford saying the "talkies" will never replace silent films.

MSNBC’s Miles Taylor never heard of John Adana signing the 1789 Sedition Act, Abraham Lincoln allowing his Union Army to shut down news papers in border states during the Civil War, Woodrow Wilson’s executive order creating the Committee on Public Information - after the House of Representatives refused his request for censorship, Franklin Roosevelt & his partnership with Senator Hugo Black with his Special Senate Committee on Lobbying, Lyndon Johnson & the Fairness Doctrine, Richard Nixon & his Fairness Doctrine use & Barak Obama & his use of the Justice Department investigations in media “leaks”. It’s likely that what Miles Taylor doesn’t know would exceed the breathe of the multiple volumes of the complete Oxford English Dictionary.

There is an epidemic of mental illness globally. Al Gore is Patient Zero.

Hard to believe that Harris is a former prosecutor, with that background you should be pretty good at public speaking even without a teleprompter and prepared speeches.

I don't know about a climate crisis, but, the way the world is looking, I'm sure glad I'm not sixteen. Is it any wonder young people are depressed and anxious?

After a lifetime of being relentlessly persecuted by everyone everywhere she goes, poor Taylor’s final tenuous tether to reality has been severed. May she finally find peace and quiet on the other side of the looking glass.

“There is a mental health crisis [because] young people look at the fact that we are not yet solving the climate crisis.”

Dear UN Climate Change Conference,

Please, please can you solve climate change please because it's making me feel so bad? And my friend Greta says you should.

Yours sincerely

Young Person

Al Gore, representing the political aristocracy, voices a an unqualified psychological opinion, completely ignoring a century’s worth of science pointing to solar activity as the chief driver of earthly climate & attempting to assert political rule of earthly weather as he & his cohorts adamantly believe should be the rule. Next on his agenda: 2 + 2 = 5.
