The Voice Is About Equity And Has Nothing To Do With Race New Matilda
The Voice to Parliament is not about race, its about equity. Its not racially divisive, but it is divisive, and justifiably so. And although the referendum singles out Indigenous Australians, it is not predicated on race a lawyerly point to be examined further, writes DJ Wexler.
Division is not inherently a bad thing. We divide schools into different year levels. Sports clubs are assorted into separate mens and womens streams and are further splintered into leagues of skill and ability. By extension, are womens domestic abuse hotlines sexist? Is the disability support pension ableist? No. They are government programs addressing the unique challenges faced by vulnerable members of society. Unique problems are treated uniquely. The division the Voice makes is analogical but in a significantly, assiduously constructed, and expanded fashion.
It begs the question, what do we mean by Indigenous Australian if it is not based on race? And how can we justify their unique treatment?
Firstly, we need reminding that the Voice has been worked on and picked over by constitutional lawyers, politicians, and Indigenous representatives from across the country since 2015. And more recently, the Joint Select Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice Referendum addressed questions opponents of the Voice frequently and disingenuously exploit to sow seeds of uncertainty in an impressionable public.
During the committee hearing, Professor Anne Twomey points out a lawyerly, but clear, distinction. The referendum does not refer to Aboriginal and Indigenous Australians by race, it refers to them by reference to their being Australias first peoples, which is made clear at the start of the referendum question: A Proposed Law to recognise the First Peoples of Australia, and in the proposed law itself: In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia.
Anne Twomey continued: The provision is there simply because of the status of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australias first peoples with the consequences [being their]important role in Australia...

The three views on UAP of an Australian astronomer, an Australian Defence analyst, and an Australian academic Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - scientific research
Introduction
In recent years, very few Australian professionals have expressed views on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP.) This article takes a look at three individuals, who have publicly commented about the subject.
Adam Dodd - Queensland academic
 |
| Dr Adam Dodd - School of Communication and Arts - University of Queensland (uq.edu.au) |
In March 2018, Dr. Adam Dodd, an academic tutor in Communication and Writing, in the School of Communication & Arts, the University of Queensland, authored a paper titled "Strategic Ignorance and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Critiquing the Discursive Segregation of UFOs from Scientific Inquiry" in the Journal "Astropolitics."
The abstract of the paper read:
"Since the late 1940's, a tenacious disconnect between popular interest and professional disinterest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has typified the controversy surrounding the subject. Numerous high-profile scientists have seen the topic of UFOs as an opportunity to denounce and rectify a popular, yet allegedly misguided conviction - that some UFOs are physical anomalies indicating the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence - and thus to advance the explanatory authority of science.
Rather than constituting rigorous, informed, and effective assessments, however, the ways in which many prominent scientists publicly address the UFO question often exemplify both the problematic "boundary-work" of scientific discourse in this area, and more specifically, the role that logical fallacy can play in the rhetorical construction of scientific authority in public domains.

The Voice: Careful What You Wish For New Matilda
Will a Voice to parliament for Australias Indigenous peoples really come from, and represent, the nations most marginalised? Dr Monica Seini weighs in.
We, non-Indigenous Australians, need to turn the lens on ourselves in the debate on the upcoming Referendum on Constitutional recognition of an Indigenous Australian Voice. Will the Referendum prompt us to acknowledge the history of our present, and truly open our ears to an Indigenous voice, whatever that may look like?
I am by no means advising people to vote no, nor am I against a change to the Constitution. I am offering caution.
It will not be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who decide the outcome of the referendum.
Almost 97% of people in Australia are non-Indigenous; hence, those of voting age within this majority will determine the outcome. A year ago, on 30 July 2022, our newly elected Prime Minister Albanese spoke at the Garma Festival on Yolngu Country. The PM encouraged people to vote with their heart and vote Yes.
If the Yes vote is successful, we so-called woke folk will be ecstatic. We will pat ourselves on the back for gifting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a Voice regarding their own affairs, on their own Country. Land that has never been ceded. What then?
It will not be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who decide how the Voice will be enacted if the Referendum is successful.
It is the Parliament that will decide how the Voice will look, and sound. According to our Prime Minister: The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Writing the Voice into the Constitution means a willingness to listen wont depend on who is in government or who is Prime Minister.
We do not, to date, know what The Voice will look or sound like. We can, however, safely assume it will indeed be subject to change depen...

Mandala as a MedARTation-a Portal to the Reflective Self. ~ The Art Of Change ~ with Carol Omer ~
I have been creating a Mandalas for many years and began by creating colouring pages with affirmations for relaxation for women in domestic violence shelters. Many of those Mandala designs then went on to become my first book The Big Girls Little Colouring Book.
I often think of Mandalas as a kind of portal, an entry point, and by engaging the hands, focusing the mind and relaxing the breath we enter into a non-invasive, relaxed, slightly altered state that can give access to the wisdom of the inner self and ideas and thoughts that are not constrained by every day patterns of thinking.
The following are a few examples of how the Mandala, which is a Sanskrit word meaning Circle, have uses in a wide range of areas specifically related to relaxation, creativity, insight and expanding consciousness:

In mysticism and psychology, mandalas are regarded as powerful archetypal symbols that tap into the collective unconscious. They represent a microcosm of the universe and reflect patterns found in nature, creating a bridge between the individual and the cosmic....

Congressional Testimony Asserts FBI Knew Biden Laptop Was Not Russian Disinformation "IndyWatch Feed War"
- During a transcribed interview, Laura Dehmlow, the Section Chief of the FBIs Foreign Influence Task Force, revealed that FBI personnel who warned social media companies about a potential Russian hack and leak operation in the 2020 election knew that Hunter Bidens laptop was not Russian disinformation.
- The FBI made an institutional decision to refuse to answer direct questions from social media companies about the laptops authenticity, leading the companies to conclude that the New York Post story on the laptop was Russian disinformation.
- The FBIs failure to alert social media companies about the authenticity of the laptop prevented millions of Americans from having a clear understanding of a significant issue in the 2020 presidential election, as it resulted in the suppression of the story by Twitter and deamplification by Facebook.

Barbie Pathologies: Its All About a Doll "IndyWatch Feed War"
As the ancient Greeks reminded us, bone cold definitions as starting points are essential in any discussion. One current discussion, insignificant to posterity but amusing for advertisers and the presently bored, is the ludicrous reactions to a plastic doll rendered into celluloid form. And as a doll, it can be no other. Mattels Barbie has become, courtesy of Greta Gerwig, a talking point so silly it deserves to be treated trivially. But money, advertising, and Mattel, wont allow that.
Commentators, whatever their ilk, cannot help themselves. Jourdain Searles, evidently struggling to earn a crust or two, asks two banal questions. This first: In a cinematic landscape drowning in IP, would a live-action film about the Barbie doll, Mattels flagship toy, be held up as proof of the continued commodification of cinema as an artform? The second is not much of an improvement: And in a more progressive cultural landscape, could a woman-directed film about Barbie dolls be feminist? Not necessarily.
The New York Times does not disappoint in its silliness. Can a doll with an ingratiating smile, impossible curves and boobs ready for liftoff be a feminist icon? No, it cannot, but stating something so embarrassingly asinine is very much in character with this field.
From the conservative, domestic, home stove huggers, this is distinctly not on. Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire lamented the unironic use of the word patriarchy more than 10 times. Toby Young in The Spectator moaned that, The film is a gender studies seminar disguised as a summer blockbuster,. Kyle Smith, formerly a National Review critic, echoed the grievance in the Wall Street Journal. As bubbly as the film appears, its script is like a grumpier-than-average womens studies seminar.
Young goes a bit deeper in opining that Barbie is an act of self-flagellation a way of doing penance for a sin of being associated with a brand that was insufficiently woke in the past. Dont be too white; dont be too thin. This paean to female empowerment is a plea for forgiveness from the titans who run Mattel, but I suspect it will be another case of Go woke, go broke.

Bledisloe Cup LIVE | Eddie turns to mind games as winless Wallabies face unbeaten All Blacks donaldelley
July 29, 2023
The first game of the Bledisloe Cup is on tonight at 7pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The Bledisloe Cup is an annual rugby union test competition between Australia and New Zealand. It normally involves three matches. This year, because of the rugby world cup starting in September, there are two matches. New Zealand currently holds the cup. Australia would have to win the two games to win the trophy back. The second match is next Saturday in Dunedin in New Zealands deep south. To win these two games would be very difficult, if not impossible for the out-of-form Wallabies.
The All Blacks are running red-hot in the lead-up to the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France.

World Cup star, 18, grabs her chest and collapses at training in Sydney before being rushed to hospital in an ambulance after losing consciousness "IndyWatch Feed War"
Caicedo is seen clutching her chest during a training run
Andrew Prentice and James Cooney Daily Mail July 28, 2023
Breakout World Cup star Linda Caicedo may not feature again in the tournament after the Colombian collapsed at training in distressing scenes that were caught on video.
The young gun, 18, was rushed to hospital and was unconscious for at least 90 seconds as medics and terrified team-mates rushed to her aid at the teams base in Sydney.
The rising star was later released from hospital but is unlikely to feature in her countrys match against Germany on Sunday.
Footage shows the star jogging with teammates before she suddenly stops, clutches her chest and falls to the ground.
Concerned players gather around her before a woman who appears to be a member of the training staff sprints to the scene, closely followed by other team staffers, one of whom was carrying a kit bag.

How to Responsibly Dispose of a Mattress The Situation
Disposing of a mattress can be a real pain. They are heavy, bulky and cumbersome. They dont fit in bins or skips and some waste removal companies wont take mattresses.
However, there are a number of convenient (and even eco-friendly) ways to dispose of old, unwanted mattresses. In this guide, well explore different methods for responsibly disposing of a mattress, taking into its type, recycling options, donation opportunities, council hard rubbish pick up, and tips for cleaning if you plan to sell or donate it.
Different Types of Mattresses and Their Impact on Disposal
Before diving into disposal methods, its essential to understand the types of mattresses and their materials. The three most common mattress types are innerspring, memory foam, and latex.
Innerspring Mattresses: These traditional mattresses have steel coils inside, making them heavier and harder to recycle. Disassembling them can be a challenge, and not all recycling centres accept them.
Memory Foam Mattresses: Memory foam mattresses are known for their comfort and support. They are typically more recyclable than innerspring mattresses, as they contain fewer components that need separation.
Latex Mattresses: Latex mattresses are made from natural or synthetic latex, which is more eco-friendly than other materials. They are generally biodegradable and can be an excellent choice for those concerned about sustainability.
Considering the materials in your mattress can help you choose the most environmentally friendly disposal method.
Council Hard Rubbish Pick Up
Council hard rubbish pick up is a convenient way to dispose of large household items, including mattresses. Check with your local council for scheduled hard rubbish collection days and guidelines for mattress disposal. However, keep in mind that not all councils offer this service, and some may charge fees for the collection.
Waste Collection Companies
For a small fee, many waste collection companies will collect old mattresses. As with hard rubbish pick-up, its as easy as scheduling a collection time and leaving the mattress in the designated pick-up area, and the waste collection company will do the rest.
Mattress Recycling Companies
Recycling your old mattress is one of the best ways to ensure it doesnt end up in a landfill. Fortunately, there are mattress recycling companies that specialise in breaking down mattresses into their individual components for reuse.
Before contacting a recycling company, ensure that they accept the type of mattress you have. Some facilities may focus on specific materials and may not be equ...

Swimming in Circles: Aquaculture and the End of Wild Oceans "IndyWatch Feed Health"
Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published September 30, 2018.
In this interview, investigative journalist and fishing industry insider Paul Molyneaux discusses aquaculture and the dangers of farmed fish, which are also the topics of his book "Swimming in Circles: Aquaculture and the End of Wild Oceans."
From my perspective, the two most dangerous foods served in most restaurants are factory farmed chicken, which is responsible for a majority of foodborne illnesses, and farmed fish, especially farmed salmon, which is among the most toxic foods on the planet.
Salmon Farming in Cobscook Bay
At the age of 17, Molyneaux left home and got a job in commercial fishing, which led to work in aquaculture in the late '70s.
"I always had an interest in aquaculture, although I primarily was a commercial fisherman. In the late '80s, I ran a fish processing plant for the Passamaquoddy tribe in Eastport, Maine, on Cobscook Bay. There was a sudden push to do salmon farming in the bay.
The way the promoters at the time, a company called Ocean Products sold it to us was [by] saying, 'You can become farmers of the sea. You can start giving back to the ocean.' We bought it hook, line and sinker Last summer, there were about six of us standing on the dock in Eastport, saying, 'Geez, we thought this was going to be great.'"
As fisheries had dwindled, they believed aquafarming would be the answer to keeping the fishing industry alive. Alas, the industry was rapidly consolidated into the hands of just a few players. "Now, it's in the hands of one," Molyneaux says.
What's worse, it didn't take long before the environmental downsides of aquaculture became readily apparent as well. In the late 1990s, infectious salmon anemia virus spread like wildfire among the salmon pens in Cobscook Bay, wiping out the fishery as 2 million fish had to be discarded overnight.
"That set the industry back. Now, it's owned by one company Cooke Aquaculture and pretty much everything is automated. They have a tremendous sea lice problem.
They're pouring tons of SLICE into those pens, and they're coming up with new systems now because they're finding the sea lice medication is now in the mollusks, like the scallops that are also harvested from the bay. Cooke has been fined twice in the last five years for using an illegal chemical, cypermethrin, to fight sea lice."

Sporadic Reports of Malaria Followed by Breakthrough Announcement of mRNA Vaccine "IndyWatch Feed War"
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH | Courageous Discourse | July 26, 2023
As an internal medicine physician and cardiologist I am in tune to diseases seen and presented at morning report at big academic medical centers. I can tell you over the decades each year there are a few cases of malaria. Travel history and contact tracing are never precise enough to declare where it came from. Malaria gives us a chance to talk about the characteristic life cycle of organism (plasmodium species), the mosquito vector, use of diagnostic testing including the blood smear etc.
So I was suspicious a few days ago when I heard about malaria in the U.S. as making a comeback and some patients asking me about bug spray. Now I see why there could be a manufactured interest in the age-old illness that is well treated with medicationsa mRNA vaccine.
Alexa Cook at NewsHub is reporting: A team of researchers from Victoria University of Wellingtons Ferrier Research Institute, the Malaghan Institute and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Australia have developed an mRNA-based vaccine that can effectively target and stimulate protective immune cell responses against the malaria-causing parasite.

Fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: J Autoimmun. 2023 May 11:103058. Epub 2023 May 11. PMID: 37179170 Abstract Title: Fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus: What we learnt from the explorative clinical trial. Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with the characterized presence of autoantibodies and resulting in multiple organ damage, which is incurable and can be lethal. The current treatments are limited and less progress has been made in drug discovery for the last few decades. Researches imply that gut dysbiosis exists in both patients and murine models with SLE, taking part in the pathogenesis of SLE through multiple mechanisms such as microbiota translocation and molecular mimicry. Intestinal interventions on the gut microbiome by fecal transplantations to reconstitute the gut-immunity homeostasis serve as a novel therapeutic option for SLE patients. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which is usually used in intestinal diseases, has been firstly demonstrated to be safe and efficient in recovering gut microbiota structure of SLE patients and reducing lupus activity in our recent clinical trial, which is the first trial testing FMT therapy in SLE treatment. In this paper, we reviewed the results of the single-arm clinical trial and made recommendations on FMT practice in SLE treatment including therapeutic indications, screening items and dosage regimen, trying to provide references for future study and clinical practice. We also came up with the unanswered questions that need to be solved by the ongoing randomized controlled trial as well as the future expectations for the intestinal intervention strategies of SLE patients.

Weird Musks weird obsession with X "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Twitter owner Elon Musk has abruptly renamed the company as simply X. He had earlier named his first company X.com. Jill Lepore writes that Musk has long had a fascination with this particular letter, that can be traced back to his father and grandfather who were leaders of a so-called Technocracy movement and called themselves Technocrats and believed that only engineers and scientists could save the world from a looming catastrophe.
Technocrats objected to politicians and economists, democracy, and socialism. They wanted an end to all banks. In the future that Technocrats including Musks grandfather were planning for,There will be no place for Politics or Politicians, Finance or Financiers, Rackets or Racketeers. There would also be no place for personal names. One technocrat, for instance, renamed himself 1x1809x56. Musk named one of his sons X A-12X, for short.
Why name a baby X A-12, something that is going to result in the child being tormented by their peers and likely require years of therapy as an adult? This whole business of parents trying to give their children weird names to make some ideological point seems to be sheer vanity, seeing the child as a vehicle for their own obsessions and ignoring their needs. I am really glad that my parents gave me an utterly common name. As least it is common in Sri Lanka though, because it is simple enough, it is only a little exotic now that I am in the US.
But Musk has big plans for the company that he now has renamed X, seeing it as the precursor to an everything app, whatever the hell that is.
X, Musk promises, will be the everything app. X is the Technocrats dream deferred, a way to engineer society, the economy, and politics. Extreme capitalismMuskismas the answer to existential risk. With any luck, it will be a disaster.
I hope so too.

Zionist groups set up taskforce to defend Israel under guise of combatting anti-Semitism "IndyWatch Feed War"
MEMO | July 26, 2023
Eight major pro-Israel Jewish organisations from seven different countries have united to create a new task force to defend Israel under the guides of combatting anti-Semitism. The groups in the Task Force Against Anti-Semitism have all embraced the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism and placed defending Israel from criticism at the centre of their work.
Calling themselves J7, the anti-Palestinian taskforce comprises prominent Jewish organisations from the US, the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Argentina and Australia: the Anti-Defamation League (ADL); the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organisations; the Board of Deputies of British Jews; Conseil Reprsentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF); the Central Council of Jews in Germany; the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA); Delegacin de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas (DAIA); and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ).
Anti-Semitism is rising around the world, especially in countries where there are large Jewish populations. We needed to meet these challenges through coordinated action, ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt told Haaretz. This new coalition of major organisations representing seven large Jewish Diaspora communities in liberal democracies will provide a formal framework for coordination, consultation and formulating global responses to anti-Semitic threats against the Jewish people.
Greenblatt is one of the key proponents of the idea that anti-Zionism and legitimate criticism of the state of Israel equate to anti-Semitism. He is spearheading the initiative. The idea for the J7 came out of conversations I had with partners in France over our shared challenges and concerns. When we reached out to these seven communities, there was instant enthusiasm about the importance of the seven of us consulting, and what we might achieve working together.
The collaboration comes as Israel faces sharp criticism for its political shift to the far-right. Internally the occupation state is facing the prospect of a civil war, according to former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert; internationally, a consensus is emerging about Israels practice of apartheid.

What were seeing is utterly heartbreaking and distressing, Reece Whitby, environment minister for Western Australia, said. Its just a terrible, terrible tragedy to see these dead pilot whales on the beach.
Hundreds of volunteers along with Perth Zoo veterinarians and experts in marine fauna worked to move the whales back into the water and were able to do so, but only temporarily, NPR reported. The whales became stranded again on the beach, and the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions announced plans to euthanize the remaining whales.
DBCA officers and veterinarians have completed assessing the whales that re-stranded on Cheynes Beach this afternoon. Sadly, the decision had to be made to euthanise the remaining whales to avoid prolonging their suffering, the department announced on Facebook. It was a difficult decision for all involved however the welfare of the whales had to take precedence. We thank everyone who assisted with the attempt to save the whales over the last two days.
According to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation, long-finned pilot whales are extremely social animals and are actually part of the dolphin family. Individuals bond closely to others in their pod and will stay together, even if it is dangerous to do so, the organization explained. In the case of the beached pilot whales on Cheynes Beach, wildlife experts predict the pod could have been experiencing stress or illnes...

Russia Will Not Renew International Grain Deal; Some Context "IndyWatch Feed War"
By Ted Snider | The Libertarian Institute | July 27, 2023
Like the war that necessitated it, Russias decision not to renew the United Nations and Turkish-brokered grain deal is bad for the world but not wholly unprovoked.
The deal allowed Ukraine safe passage for its grain laden ships through the mined and blockaded Black Sea ports so it could continue to export its agriculture to the world.
On July 17, Russia announced its decision not to renew the deal.
It has repeatedly been reported that Russias decision is retaliation for Ukraines recent sabotage of the Kerch Strait bridge that links Crimea to the Russian mainland. But President Vladimir Putin had announced the distinct possibility of suspending the agreement prior to the attack on the bridge.
During a July 13 question period, in a response to a journalist, Putin said, prior to the attack on the bridge, We can suspend our participation in this deal.
Putin gave two reasons for suspending the deal after having extended this so-called deal many times. The first is that, though it was Russia that suspended the deal, it was the West that broke it. As for the conditions under which we agreed to ensure the safe export of Ukrainian grain, yes, there were clauses in this agreement with the United Nations, according to which Russian interests had to be taken into account as well, Putin said. Not a single clause related to what is in the interests of the Russian Federation has been fulfilled.
Announcing the decision not to renew the deal four days later, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeated that charge; Unfortunately, the part of the Black Sea agreement that concerns Russia has not yet been fulfilled. As a result, it has been terminated. However, he added that As soon as the Russian part [of the deal] is fulfilled, the Russian side will immediately return to the implementation of this deal. Putin made a similar pledge in his answer to the journalist. One option, he said, is not first the extension and then the honouring of promises, but first the honouring of promises and then our participation. What do I mean? We can suspend our participation in this deal, and if everybody once again says that all the promises made to us will be fulfilled, let them fulfil themand we will immediately join this deal. Again.

INTERVIEW: Freddie Ponton Why Russia and Africa Are Natural Partners "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"
Putin and Russia are realising that Africa can be equal partners going forward in a multipolar world.
In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on July 26, 2023, Patrick talks with independent French researcher and journalist Freddie Ponton, discusses the recent Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg and why this marks a historic shift in the balance of power and influence globally. It seems that, unlike the West, Putin and Russia recognise that 21st-century Africa can be equal partners going forward in a multipolar world. BRICS is also the pet of this new paradigm as African leaders look to escape the Wests IMF debt trap which has stunted their development for the last 50 years. All this and more. Listen:

Big Boy Anthony Weiner Loses His Mind When Someone Suggests That Big Girl Hillary Clinton Has a Body Count "IndyWatch Feed War"
Kay Smythe Daily Caller July 20, 2023
Disgraced former Democratic New York congressman-turned-self-proclaimed big boy Anthony Weiner lost his freaking mind when asked Thursday about rumors that the Clinton family has a body count.
Patrick Bet-David put the question to Weiner, referencing a popular conspiracy theory that former President Bill Clinton and his wife, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, have had people killed. How is it that the reputation that follows [the Clintons] is people close to them die? the host asked in a clip shared from the show.
For whatever reason, Weiner seemed to take serious offense to the question. He immediately tried to turn the conversation around, claiming that every president has a prevailing conspiracy or reputation related to them, but PBD had already noted many of them prior to asking his initial question.

In less than a minute the entire conversation turns into a screaming match, with Weiner refusing to answer the question, and PBD pushing it harder and harder. You are implying something nefarious is afoot, both with the question, and with the list [of alleged dead people related to the Clintons], Weiner said when he was finally allowed to respond.
Hillary Clinton, shes a big girl. Im a big boy. Youre a big boy. The people that you just listed, these are obscure people that you could not pull out of a Weiner continued, trailing off as the screaming began anew.
The entire thing lasted almost six minutes, and it is kind of painful to watch. Two grown men trying to have an argument, only to have it descend into a high school screaming match is very cringe.

PBD then made the argument that most of the conspiracy theories and reputations of politicians and political figures are founded in truth. He even alluded to the fact that Weiner has a pretty gross reputation, considering that he went to pris...
