Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.

...Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away.

This isn’t cancel culture...Nor is this politically motivated...It’s just a realization that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

Our national reset starts there.

Yeah, I don't even know what else to say...

It's blackmail. Do what we say, or else.

Yeah, I'm impressed they actually phrased it as a such a direct threat. Wild!

This isn't cancel culture

This is cancel culture metastasized.

Still, impressive chutzpah to put a note out up front that, yes, we will run hitpieces (that are probably already drafted) against your firm if your hire the people we do not like.

@ProjectLincoln too.

At @ProjectLincoln we are constructing a database of Trump officials & staff that will detail their roles in the Trump administration & track where they are now. No personal info, only professional. But they will be held accountable & not allowed to pretend they were not involved

Whoa. ⁦@Forbes⁩ chief content officer warns against hiring ⁦@kayleighmcenany⁩ ⁦or other prominent Trump flacks: “Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”

I worked in 5 R. presidential campaigns. This is my account of how the R Party became Trump. Not a book i thought I’d write but a book I felt I had to write.

That is effectively a declaration of war.

"Nah, this is fine..." - Republicans, probably.

They should force them to wear little yellow stars so we know never to listen to or hire them.

I've also noticed a huge uptick in the "dehumanizing language" the left is so concerned over. Things like the 'parasites and cancer must be excised from society' when talking about Republicans.

Hell no. I've known for ages, I'm merely pointing out the rhetoric is ramping up.

Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.

If you are not willing to, your economy will be shrunk and life opportunities curtailed with increasindly byzantine and senile rules until you feel the choice has been made for you. Side-note, don't forget your Covid Curfew is now 7pm-6am, and will be reduced to 6pm-7am in two weeks, and you can only shop on tuesdays or fridays, or thursdays if you're buying hygeine products, except if you also want to buy shoes, in which case it's back to Fridays. Also, you are not allowed to work except on days with an odd number of vowels, and only in businesses deemed Essential, like beer sales or filming.

I was right again.

WOOF. I knew some of that, but didn't realize they had a full list of appointed judges too. As well as lawfirms. Also...stenographers and calligraphers.

They themselves are the biggest liars known to man. And they have the temerity to scream about other people lying?
