Will was part of the cadre of elite pundits - going back to William Buckley - who for decades paved the way for an American ChristoFascist state. A direct line - and thin - line between Buckley, Will, David Brooks, et al and Limbaugh, Bannon, and Alex Jones. When it mattered to nip the despot in the bud, they were offended more by Trump's style than the substance of Project 2025. The best the current lot could do in 2016 was advise Republican voters to consider sitting on their hands - when holding their nose and voting for Democrats was essential. And in 2024, as in 2016 and 2020, they couldn't criticize Trump without trashing the Democratic candidates.
Now newly converted carpetbagger George Conway has moved to NYC and jumped into the Democratic primary to replace Gerry Nadler. With the slogan Vote For Me Because I Used To Be One Of Them. George go home. NYC has plenty of local Democratic talent.
"Never-Trump Republicans will never be Democrats either
What he [Conway] has not done is repudiate the Republican project that produced Trump in the first place. He has also not fully articulated why he contemplated a senior role at Trump’s Department of Justice during his first term in office."
For me, the video’s giveaway is the Fox News banner above Will’s picture. Why would anyone trust anything these slime bags broadcast orsay? I used to be interested in my daily video feeds but have mostly been ignoring them because AI has turned them into visual/aural slop and bad actors have abused these tech marvels for their own nefarious purposes.
Great work, Steve. But take a look at the Will clip. Strange moments, like voicing "clears throat" and "read that one more time." At :47, :55, 2:37, weird pause in "Donald ... Trump" at 2:50, 3:00 Dallas airport (not Dulles), 3:04 "Read that one more time."
That's where I stopped watching, so don't know what follows. But to me, it's got the flavor of a first take spiced with AI.
This is who we are - the country giving “incentives” for people - the “right” people - to conceive and produce babies..without providing pre- and post-natal care and housing, food, medical care - and sends children - infants still nursing - to concentration camps. Thank you, Steve, for showing some among those given opportunities for safety and education could be the future scientists, medical personal, good neighbors.
About George Will: one of the reasons I wanted to keep WaPo each time I canceled was his columns. A true Conservative, we may disagree on some issues. On the “important” stuff, he calls out MAGA - those who were GOP but no longer. So glad you included it.
ICE coming for children. A year ago we wouldn't have believed it. Beautiful, heartbreaking drawings, Steve.
Welcome the fight George Will. However belatedly.

I don’t doubt those are George Will’s words, but the video is AI. It’s very strange.
I took it down. It is absolutely AI. I was fooled. So sorry.
Not your fault, Steve. I’m glad that your eyes became unglazed so you knew to take it down.
Clears throat

Steve,
I caught up with your correx. Thanks, and sorry to ring a bell already rung. I was running behind.

Hi Steve, a bunch of my friends got fooled by a Rachel Maddow AI fake. And it didn’t even look like her!
