I wish them both complete success in this endeavor.

Same. First time I've ever wished them anything but ridicule, misery and irrelevance.

She added in another post to Shapiro: "You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now

Oh Candace... You have some googling to do if you think it's only been weeks.

message to Twitter, formerly X

Nobody tells me anything around here.

Owens tweeted:

No government anywhere has a right to commit a genocide, ever. There is no justification for a genocide. I can't believe this even needs to be said or is even considered the least bit controversial to state.

That is what drew the ire of Shapiro.

"The question is about Candace Owens," Shapiro said in the video posted to X by user @LoomerLs. "I think her behavior during this has been disgraceful, without a doubt."

Shapiro's answer was met with applause from the audience, followed by his acknowledgment that Owens "still works at my company."

"I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous," Shapiro added. "Everybody can see the moves that she's making and the things that she's saying, and I find them disreputable."

"faux sophistication". Pot calling kettle black.

Just using the term "faux sophistication" is faux sophistication if I've ever seen it.

I don't think I've ever seen a more pretentious douchebag other than Jordan Peterson.

yeah we all give our selves away, why would he even be thinking about the topic of trying to act smart? I used to ride a train to work and one morning a man was wearing those old timey boards with suspenders and messages about repenting and god. He kept yelling about the bible, it was really uncomfortable and I bet he was the biggest sinner of us all, what would motivate someone to do that?

These people can't stand eachother, they are all grifters and it's so easy to pit them against eachother.

Is this a strategy that could be stimulated, somehow?

For sure it could. There is always at least one thing that they disagree on. When one of them is a woman, it happens by itself.

In the immortal words of Dr Ishiro Serizawa:

“Let them fight”

Back in the day, Reagan wanted a 'Big Tent.' Nowadays, the Gipper is just another RINO neoliberal

"better to have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in"
Well, now they're inside the tent and pissing all over the floor

"A Flash Of Green" by John D. MacDonald. Great little novel about a Florida land grab and local corruption. Written in the Kennedy years.

A one point, the main political boss sends one of his stooges to get rid of the married banker's girl friend. The stooge asks what's wrong with the banker getting a little action on the side. The boss tells the stooge that the banker is being too brazen and people are startign to talk. They plot needs the banker to look clean.

If they did the story today, the plotters wouldn't send her out of town, they'd make her head of the 'Sluts For Trump.'

TIL Candace Owens. For th lazy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candace_Owens

She's a token black American conservative, and conspiracy theorist. She has a political talk show on the Daily Wire which is a conservative propaganda outlet.

Add to that the Daily Wire is Shapiros shitrag, so he’s her boss in this situation.
