Is It Illegal To Make Elon Musk Sad
Added 2024-08-09 07:20:34 +0000 UTCOA1058
We begin with Neil Gorsuch’s recent appearance on Fox News. How normal is it for a sitting Supreme Court justice to go on Fox News, and did Gorsuch really just threaten the Biden administration over its relatively minor court reform proposals?
In our main story, we break down two major antitrust suits from the past week: Elon Musk’s ridiculous claim that corporations which refuse to advertise on a social media platform which has failed to regulate neo-Nazi and animal abuse content are violating Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, and District Court judge Ahmet Mehta’s extremely reasonable findings that Google’s anticompetitive practices are in violation of Section 2. Also, Matt has some nice things to say about Richard Nixon.

2024-08-09 21:34:15 +0000 UTCAs you review Gorsuchs book (the prologue is quite choice as he says he’s troubled that those with money can navigate influence in Justice better…ya think captain obvious!?) I’d like to hear commentary that if gorsuch is getting facts wrong what is the publishers responsibility to listen/edit for any fact checking?

2024-08-09 18:25:52 +0000 UTCYou might like Not Your Grandmother's Bookclub, which reviews books by toxic conservatives. I got drained listening to to subject matter, but the hosts come off as funny and sweet guys.

2024-08-09 15:43:08 +0000 UTCI was imagining some nerd in the audience reacting to the news of Lawed Awful Books going "Let's go BOOKS! Finally!" And then I realized I am that nerd.
