@wickedAberration Tim TRIES to be objective, and the most obvious lunacies are coming from the left. Oh, there are plenty of right-wing Bible-thumpers, but they don't own the public square like the SJWs, who despise ANYbody who appears to be happy, well-adjusted, or shows any sign of enjoying themselves. Tim's just plucking the low-hanging fruit, and he does a news crawl every day. His problem is he mistakes a gift of gab for an actual in-depth understanding of the issues. If he continues doing his daily news crawls, he will have built up enough history, experientially, to actually have a sense of how things work... in about 20 more years. But I could say that about most people. Read your Adam Smith. Read your Locke and Hobbes. Read your Blackstone. Figure out how things REALLY work and start understanding the REAL sweep of human progress, which is NOT in the history books. The REAL human progress is in the inventiveness, hard work and good will of the common people. But none of THEM own newspapers or have press agents (i.e.. historians) on the payroll.

@Dandokee You'd be surprised at how many Trump supporters oppose the War on Drugs. As far as I can tell, the only people insisting on its continuation are those who profit from it, like drug lords, prison corporations, the CIA, law enforcement, and politicians. Of course, any time you support nanny government, you invite and perpetuate authoritarianism, because the hand that gives is the hand that squeezes and punches. That's the paradox of so-called "liberalism," which wants to be "free" and at the same time insists on being "taken care of." If you care about the disadvantaged, then HELP them. Don't virtue-signal with MY money! I give plenty, in addition to paying my taxes. More than most so-called liberals. Yeah. The same liberals who lecture me about global warming with their clothes dryers running, on the phone during the hours-long commutes to work, every day.

@TheAtemiles People being logical about COVID-19 is too much to ask. People are more freaked out about COVID-19 than they are about much more dangerous things. Then, of course, there are the people who deny it's even a thing at all. It's a thing. And the establishment is over-reacting and doing much that is counter-productive to the overall health of the nation, in the name of "saving" us. COVID-19 has resulted in a HUGE transfer of wealth from small business and working class to big business and white-collar class. And nobody seems to care. What little care they DO seem to show is in the form of "give them government checks and everything will be fine." Meanwhile, our so-called "good intentions" just look like short-sighted selfishness that is saddling our children and grand-children with a mountain of debt that we built up mainly so we could indulge OURSELVES.

Your ignorance knows no bounds. Suspension of filibuster for judicial appointments was pushed by Democrats, for Obama, and was used by Trump to appoint a record number of federal judges. You guys are idiots. You skipped Civics in high school and know zero history. You're like children.

Tim Pool's a capitalist when it comes to his pocketbook. Like everybody.

@BluntforceJ They've got their niche. Some people get a kick out of them. You DO realize they're comedians, right? But that's the problem most liberals have. They sing "equality" but they look down their noses at regular folks and want them coddled and controlled. The world's full of regular folks, and they're a lot smarter than most college-(mis)educated liberals about most things that matter. "Majority Report" decry a caricature of the TRUE liberals, who just want to be free and want the government to leave them alone. Everything I associate with modern liberalism bears all the hallmarks of rule by aristocracy. It's like we're re-living Victorian England, where the mediocre children of the well-to-do mistake their privileges for actual talent, and think that memorizing Democrat talking points is a sign of advanced intelligence. Pretentious and ignorant, the lot of them.

@spookrockcity I was 100% with you, until the "civil war" stuff. The way history works is things get bad before they get better. Biden winning will just accelerate the anti-establishment sentiment throughout the country (and the world). We want prosperity from the bottom up, and all liberals do is knock the bottom rungs off the ladder of advancement, and say "Here! I'll throw you a rope!" while the downtrodden remain downtrodden. It's a very mechanistic view of the world, where they think they can plan everything out, from the top down, with "elites" calling the shots for everybody, when the REAL mark of human progress is people sustaining themSELVES, organically, through voluntary transactions and voluntary action. As H.L. Mencken said, "The urge to save the world is invariably the urge to rule." I see this from progressives all the time. They INSIST on more and bigger government programs and regulations and then act all surprised when the people running those programs are corrupt. THEY think that it's OK to give the government virtually unlimited power and then they spend all their time complaining about how the power is abused. It's the NATURE of power to attract those who will abuse it. Even those who otherwise would NOT abuse their power will be constantly pressured to abuse it, "for the greater good." The "greater good" is to be free and do what you can to make YOUR corner of the world a better place. If everybody thought this way, then most of the world would be a MUCH better place than it is, now. "Show me a liberal and I'll show you a closet aristocrat." - Frank Herbert -

Al Gore didn't concede until December 13th, you majority report idiots. You guys evidently haven't seen all the legal and procedural violations taking place in Dem-run precincts. Observers not allowed to observe. Big-city precincts definitely broke the rules and their results should not have been certified. You guys are living in denial. Your confirmation bias is showing, I think. But maybe you're just victims of private censorship by dominant media and social media. Do some research. Kicking a lightweight's ass (like Tim Pool) is not much of a victory. How long did you guys believe in Russian Collusion? Don't tell me you STILL believe it!
