didn't realize he was part of the crew who got fed talking points. wonder if that's new or not.

He (assuming "he" is even a real person) posts waaay too much to actually have a job that involves lots of driving. Shit posting and amplifying Russian disinformation is his full time job.

Or LBJ.

Or LBJ.

To be fair, LBJ was elected in 1964 by a huge margin.

Yes, as will Carney. But the day he took office he was unelected.

Does Rogan think?
