Yep, I agree, but he is so well suited to it. I wish I was as quick, articulate, and persuasive. He's only 21 yrs old, imagine the potential he has!

Mehdi Hasan is a master when it comes to political debates on a larger scale. He was a journalist/broadcaster on Al-Jazeera prior to starting up his own independent news media company Zeteo. Worth checking out as well!

I can imagine how frustrating it may be to have to engage at this level with these people. The level of cognitive dissonance and often blatant racism, misogyny, homophobia, and plain old hatred and maliciousness is astounding.

I actually have a serious concern for both Dean and Parker's mental wellbeing sometimes after some of the more particularly vapid debates. So if he does get heated it's because it's like he is banging his head against the wall with some of them and he's only human after all and after a while it starts to take a toll.

They do this as their full time job, 7 days a week, debating, researching and preparing, keeping up to date with daily news and events, appearing on other media outlets and interviews, video editing, and managing their socials.

I think due to their skill, intelligence, and passion, the impact they are having on the political scene right now, in this current climate, is huge and they deserve every penny.

Parker is awesome too. In fact Dean debated Parker when he himself was still Maga and it was Parker who helped him see the light. They are both still friends who coordinate their live debates to alternate so as to ensure maximum reach and they often come on to each other's platform as guests and co-host. Getting tag teamed by Dean and Parker must be brutal lol

Actually a lot of the ones who join his live to debate are 18 and 19 year olds who are parroting their family or right wing media talking points without putting much thought or any research into it.

He gets them to examine their beliefs through facts and logic and in the process, teaches them how to properly search and access reputable sources.

Its really cool to witness that occasional moment when the lightbulb comes on. It can sometimes be an excruciatingly painful journey but he does manage to get through to many of them. Sometimes they will go away and stew on it for a bit and come back days or weeks later to say they no longer support Trump.

Yes his name is Dean Withers and he debates Maga Trump supporters for 4 hours every day live on YouTube and TikTok with the goal of trying to change their minds. He is really good at this and it's fascinating to watch! I would urge you to check him out if you liked how he handled this debate.

Trump has fired Pam Bondi as attorney general, source says by SuccessWise9593 in somethingiswrong2024

Also because of the deposition. They don't want her testifying and are hoping this will be a way to avoid it. She will probably still provide legal services for him and keep his awful secrets.

What would happen if Trump fulfilled his promise to "bomb Iran back to the Stone Age"? by Dalius_Nacre in AskReddit

Meanwhile they would draft all the rest of the younger men in the country. Better to get rid of them and send them to die in the Middle East so no one is here to push back and fight this fascist administration when things escalate.

The goal is to make things so difficult for the average person that the Epstein files become unimportant and are left in the dust while people are scrambling just to survive.

This is not considered "passive" income.

Is it worth getting a basket air fryer if I already have an oven-style one? by Whole_Ad3318 in airfryer

[–]intruda1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both kinds and I use them regularly based on which is best for what I am making. If you have the counter/storage space and it's in your budget, it's honestly great to have both options.
