NOTE: I’m not a lawyer so I do get semantic things wrong when I talk about legal things.

Joe Rogan’s Double Standard

I would normally avoid cable news, but I couldn’t help but respond to Lawrence O’Donnell’s ~performance~ on his MSNBC show last week, as he reacts to Trump’s radical decision to *checks notes* not vote in favor of a UN GA resolution.
