1. Looks like AI

Look closely at the hands -- the pen appears and disappears.

3. Definitely AI. Not Lawrence's face or voice.

4. All bull shit

When he, it, started talking about Wednesday night into Thursday and Friday I called bull shit. When it mentioned Senema and Manchin that is when u just laughed out loud.
It may as well had been one of those Texts about me speeding through a red light caught on camera, and send payment for fine NOW, or Die.

5. All BS!

I listened up until about 5 minutes before the end. Whoever that person is, that is supposed to look like Lawrence O'Donnell, but isn't, talks about some meeting that Mitch McConnell calls reaching out to Democratic leaders, Joe Manchin, Kirsten Senema, Sherrod Brown , Jon Tester and Bob Casey. These people aren't even in the Senate anymore. Also, he mentions Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Green, who also aren't even in Congress anymore. WHO posted this shit?!

6. Classic counter- resistance disinformation.

Not even a good fake. Rubio a Senator that signed on? Reference to 2024 electoral math?

Was fun to hear for a moment -- but that's the point. Classic counter- resistance bullshit designed to spark hope that will inevitably be dashed, with the goal of leaving people more hopeless and immobilized than before.

On Edit: Added link to Tad Stoermer discussion of the insidious effect of this type of counter-resistance disinformation.

9. KSL as you'r a noob here it's probably going to be less painful for you to read more before you post too many more OPs.

Especially if they're like this. If you want any helpful hints on how to create an OP we have a Community Help

But don't feel bad. We were all noobs once upon a time.
Good luck! ❤️

Trashing thread. Click bait.
