    Turns out the people who thought 9/11 was a government cover-up that killed Americans were right, they just missed what was being covered up and who was being killed

    During the news conference, Mamdani noted that “more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.”

    I remember in the days following 9/11 my then-girlfriend going on about how so many people were going to get lung cancer and other diseases because of all the chemicals in the buildings. We were 18 at the time. That government officials knowingly lied in such an obviously provable way is… I want to say astounding, but not really. That we US folks live with the understanding that our government kills us for the lulz is such a messed up thing.

    Stewart’s rage over this is fully justified and palpable.

    Old hat but good that he backed up the truth. We all know, or should, they lied about it, so they didn’t have to pay for our astronomical medical costs that are 1000% what everyone else in a developed economy pays.

    I like this guy, we need a coalition, that includes white populists, fit to their districts. Without that you guys are jerking off a donkey or some shit. Gross.
