I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl

First Draft – Trump 'Still Wants' Greenland
Our president isn't done trying to steal land, another Dem win gives the GOP and Trump another reason to sweat, and the terrible Epstein files keep coming.

Anyone who tells you there is a 'ceasefire' in Gaza is gaslighting you and is an anti-Palestinian racist:
Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 30 Palestinians, including several children
Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians including several children on Saturday, one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire.

“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

In 2013, I won a debate on Islam and peace at the Oxford Union. It went viral across the world, millions of views, and apparently an Emirati business then emailed the YouTube link to it to… Jeffrey Epstein. So now I’m in the damn DOJ files lol 🤦🏽♂️

I find it kinda astonishing all these people who have spent so many years in public life, many of them media/ PR pros, didn’t think to get ahead of these stories. Did they really think it’d never come out? Bowles & Weiss never thought to mention it to ‘Free Press’ subscribers?
Not only is that the very same Nellie Bowles, but she pops up 17 different times in the files!

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

In 2013, Jeffrey Epstein invited Elon Musk to hang out with him and Woody Allen, of all people!, in the Caribbean.
Musk said ‘Yes.’ (Per DOJ files).
He has so much explaining to do.

It’s amazing to me that Musk had the sheer gall to tweet that the ‘bomb’ was that Trump is in the Epstein files knowing full well… that he was in there too.
These people are astonishing. No shame.
Just zero shame or self-awareness.

They want everyone to know it came from the top, that it's corrupt and anti-1A, and they like that.
Because they don't have anywhere close to the capacity to silence everyone by force. So they use a show of intimidation to try to chill speech, and to try to raise their supporters' flagging spirits.
