2. watching.....disgusting lies by CATO
like: Congress passes laws, pres only enforces them

DUHHHH!!!!!!

Kennedy should have knocked that across the Hudson!

coulda talked about now the EPA, Dept Interior, Forest Service are doing nothing at best, failing to enforce/rolling back/ignoring statutes at worst.

surely he knows some details (he did mention bankrupt superfund, but failed to directly call this CATO creep the huge, disinfo-spewing liar that he is) with which he could've directly refuted the previous canard.

I knew enough off the top of my head to pop this up immediately

5. CATO is going down.
If you want to change the course we're presently on, you're going to have to discredit CATO's purpose. Everything they've stood for and have influenced, is resulting in chaos and human suffering. It's time to call them out.

6. CATO Is Libertarian
A lot of Democrats agree with the CATO Institute on things like civil liberties, for example. So they're not totally "evil."

7. I suggest those Democrats specifically define the civil liberties
that they agree with CATO. If they analyze it, they will find that their motives are very different.

i.e. two groups can agree in open government and the right to get direct access to public records. But one group wishes to eliminate graft, the other wishes to eliminate government.

8. CATO Are Randish Idealists
They took Ayn Rand's works as gospel, poor sods.

FYI, they've started up another offshoot, who's name escapes me at the moment. Next time they spam me, I'll have it.

10. Does anyone know if
RFK Jr. has an affliction? I watched this show, and he was forceful and impressive, but he looked like he had difficulty speaking. Does anyone know if he has MS or any similar malady?

Did anyone else notice this?
