  1. Was a kid before the internet. I used to spend all day in the library reading books on the weekends occasionally. We are getting dumb and dumber by the second. lol, my parents didn't allow us to watch TV on school nights either. So, all I did was read or listen to the music. (Also, both of my parents were educators. Although, my Mom eventually went into a different profession.)

  2. Birth control and abortion would be free if men could get pregnant.

  3. I’m 99.9% that Alex Jones got the vaccine.
    13
  4. After reading the reddit sub /HermanCainAward, here is my conclusion. Don't feel sorry for any of these people. No need to feel sorry for their families. Feel sorry for the people that died pre-vaccine and didn't have a chance to take it. I remember there was an immune compromised doctor that continued working on the frontline in the beginning of the pandemic. He caught it and died. Feel sorry for these people.

  5. The virus doesn’t care if your live or die. The virus doesn’t care if you have a wife and kids. The virus doesn’t care if you are anti-science anti-vax anti-mask.

  6. America. Where the minority rules the majority.
    10
  7. Taliban fighters stop chemists selling contraception. Taliban fighters have stopped the sale of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s main cities, claiming their use by women is a western conspiracy to control the Muslim population. Literally, the GOP is the Taliban.
    10
  8. Someone should audit those "office supply" receipts. I'm 99.9% sure there are going to be some questionable write-offs at the individual receipt level.
    10
  9. The country is becoming a living parody.
    9
  10. Where has Trump been? I thought he would have been re-instated by now? And, did he stop tweeting? I haven’t seen any tweets in a while.
    8
  11. lol, Walz has no stock or real estate. Zero business interest in the US or China.
    8
  12. These people are clogging up the medical system claiming personal choice nonsense, but the go rushing to the hospital when they can’t breathe. Fine, don’t take the vaccine. Then, don’t go to the hospital either.
    8
  13. You better learn Russian and Mandarin then.
    8
  14. Totally annoying. You don’t sit in someone else’s seat.
    8
  15. Sucks that Russia needs to invade and destroy another country for these idiots to be proven wrong.

  16. Lawrence O'Donnell has real bona fides. Wrote a successful book after college. Then, worked for Moynihan who was the chair of committees at that point. And, was part of the greatest political show ever made which taught me about the reality of politics. Dude is just having a bit of fun with it.

  17. Holy hell. There is a reddit sub called the HermanCainAward. It’s littered with these stories. Edit: And, its all shit they bragged about on FB. Anti-vax and other right wing crap. The punchline comes at the end: death. Man, FB is such a cesspool.
    6
  18. Actually, it's a classic town hall technique. You want to be close to the person that asked the question to make it feel personal. Typically, the person not speaking will be at their stool.
    5
  19. lol, are they trying to throw the election on purpose? This issue has a 76% approval rating in polling.
    5
  20. Terrible analysis. It’s August. No one cares if she’s doing a sit down interview or formal press conferences. The DNC hasn’t even happened yet. And, get with the program. Her words will be parsed in any interview setting past, present or future.

  21. As a teenager, I delivered newspapers, washed dishes in a restaurant, cooked in a restaurant, worked in 7-11, worked in a tourist area in multiple different stores, worked at the concession stands at the Zoo. I never complain about any service.
    5
  22. Man, things are weird these days. I thought this was a joke.

  23. It's crazy where we've gotten to a place that we have to agree with a party / politician's positions 100% of the time. Or even the things I care the most about. One party fits more of the things that I support used to be enough. Or, the other party is way against every single one of my positions, so I'll vote for the party that aligns with 50% of my positions.
    4
  24. Here's the thing: if you sell your golden goose (1.6 billion in real estate), you have no cushion if things go bad. The business has to execute perfectly. Oh yeah, you now have a rent expense when you owned the place before. This is the problem with private equity. There is no margin for error.

  25. Haha. Dude - the Chinese were using a form of a vaccine in 1500s. Jenner was not the first. Yes, he developed a scientific safe vaccine, but he’s not the first. (you might want to spend more than a 1 min google search before making definitive statements.) Edit: And, let's not get into the vaccination vs inoculation technicality. We aren't scientifically literate people.
    4
  26. Agree. It’s like if I went to a bar and picked a fight with ex-Navy Seals. Prepared to get your ass kicked.
    4
  27. All the dumb fucks are out. And, they can’t spell worth shit with a spell checker. People that didn’t pass elementary school English are suddenly Constitutional scholars.
    4
  28. Can we reclassify LSD as well? Pretty please?
    4
  29. Did people forget about how the US government normally works? Cabinet secretaries don't have their own fiefdoms and run things on their own. They serve at the pleasure of the POTUS. Not having some type of technocrat in Treasury would be insane. That's how the plumbing starts to break. Cabinet secretaries carry out the agenda of POTUS. Not the other way around.
    4
  30. The funny part is no one even knows the names she mentioned. Lasry: hard pass, the guy is private equity. Effron and McGuire have good resumes. Dimon would be the best pick. Treasury is an insanely complex job. Easy pick would be Lael Brainard, but not sure how much Harris would want from Biden admin.

  31. Dude - Winnie the Pooh is banned in China.

  32. I know it's a new era, but you have to be pretty sloppy to get cut off at an event. Like falling down, slurring words sloppy.

  33. Larry Craig is one of my favorite GOP meltdowns. Dude wanted to get it on in the bathroom of an airport with a stranger. At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. ... The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area. Craig then proceeded to swipe his left hand under the stall divider several times, with the palm of his hand facing upward

  34. Naw, population was less than 2 billion. 4x more now. But, there weren’t airplanes back then. Only ships, so traveled was way more limited.
    3
  35. Russia invades Ukraine to steal land and resources. But, somehow the US is proxy fighting the war? Curly hair dude is confused. The US should defend democracy and not invade other countries like Iraq. It's not that hard of a concept.
    3
  36. One of the studies that showed positive results was faked.
    3
  37. lol, Wall Street Billionaires are not supporting Biden. There are a few rogue ones, but Biden's base is the youngish tech guys (other sectors, but few billionaires).
    3
  38. You realize how many hours go into this type of investigation? I read the press release and not the full charging document. You think the FBI just slapped together evidence like wire transfers from shell companies in 3 different countries with wire payment notes.
    3
  39. Gas was $2 because the economy was tanking. Did you realize that oil was sold for -$37 a barrel? US oil prices turn negative as demand dries up The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark for US oil, fell as low as minus $37.63 a barrel. The whole idea of monetary expansion is to get people to spend and not tank the economy. Trump approved the monetary expansion with the biggest deficit in US history in 2020. The alternative is being China right now. The US did the best out of the big economies on keeping things afloat and somewhat normalized.

  40. Reminds me of the sketch John McCain did on SNL. Literally seems like a parody.

  41. Easy tell: when bodybuilders have that weird gut, the are using.
    3
  42. Always curious why the right wing trolls show up on the TYT page in comments. And it's 5:30AM EST or 2:30AM PST. It ain't Americans up this early to troll.
    3
  43.  @sal5604  All the Project 2025 staffers work for the Trump campaign. And, he's the mafia boss that hired them.
    3
  44. Look, let's all agree the Trump crowd are not Rhodes scholars, but I had to think for a few minutes to find something about Trump. And, it's operation Warp Speed. Throwing a ton of cash for vaccine development, testing and production at the beginning of the pandemic. Amusingly, something that Trump is "kinda" disavowing now.
    3
  45. Who cares what it looks like? As long as it's has the proper portions. This ain't fine dining.
    3
  46.  @DumbAssSpeakingWithMansVoice  Pandemics are public health issues. We are the ones with respect. We care about the stranger next to us and don’t want to breathe killing respiratory particles.
    3
  47. No. The dude was an individual target for expense fraud. (Someone in the union snitched on him. Basically, he was stealing money from the union.)
    3
  48. Trash opinions. Geopolitics are messy. There are rarely any definitive right and wrong options. Usually, just less bad ones.
    3
  49. The last person was interesting. Soft spoken and seemed pretty calm. Just a bit confused on the issues obviously.
    3
  50. The difference is most industrialized nations are better educated in science, so these idiots are the fringe. Here, it’s 30%+ of the country that has no clue.

  51. Excellent example...for the kids in your avatar.

  52. ***** Emblematic of this campaign, this highlights the contrast between the two and people start questioning the sane one. Normally, this wouldn't look odd (her walking over) as all candidates usually do this. But since Trump is just wandering over, standing in odd places, hugging his chair etc, it makes Hillary stand out as well due to the contrast.
    2
  53. Reagan wouldn't make it through the primary and would be considered a center right candidate. *Raised taxes 10 times and 7 out of the 8 years in office *Tripled the federal deficit *Gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented workers *Iran-Contra deal -- basically sending arms to Iran *Helped create the pre-cursor to the Taliban / OBL in Afghanistan *"my dream…became a world free of nuclear weapons." *Grew government (not smaller government) with 1981 spending of $599B to 1989 of $991B *Supported gun control (in 1991): http://www.nytimes.com/1991/03/29/opinion/why-i-m-for-the-brady-bill.html

  54. It's a non-issue. And, the regional banks that failed was due to bad management. No amount of capital threshold would have mattered.
    2
  55. lol
    2
  56. Man, go smoke so weed or take some gummies.
    2
  57. Airlines in general are a shitty business. Extremely high capital expenditures and low profit margins. I really wonder how any of them stay in business.
    2
  58. Just terrible analysis. We are talking about tiny numbers: 668K vs 554K in 2023. That’s not even 1% of the electorate. And, let’s face the facts: the party electorate has changed. The Dems have shifted to more white collar / college educated voters. Unless the data has each bucket, it’s trash analysis. Small dollar donors = $200 or less
    2
  59. I seriously think some of these "progressives" would be on the side of the Arab countries during the wars in the 1960-70s.
    2
  60. lol, 4th amendment? Weirdo. It’s a company that has multiple jurisdictions. Like any company, there are rules to follow.
    2
  61. A simple blood test after going to the hospital would have cleared the air. You’d think that would be important if someone was concerned they OD.
    2
  62. Obviously, I don't agree with Kirk and feel the pollsters are just trying to get it right. Sure wish people would talk more the "guesswork" that goes into polls. Polls have no idea if the electorate is going to remain the same and how turnout impacts each segment. Yes, accounted for in the margin of error.

  63.  @alexanderthompson-rq7nx  Centrists are hated by both sides. That's why we are centrists. Didn't have as much political hate when we had more centrists. Way more compromise.
    2
  64. No one is happier than Michael Cohen these days. I don't know how much is a grift and how much he's seeking a bit of penance. I genuinely think the dude found a bit of "freedom" after jail. Didn't have to lie and do shady things for Trump. And while he isn't working for Trump anymore, the guy is a bit addicted to the spotlight. Probably impossible to remove that pull.
    2
  65. If Joe Biden was not white, no way would be VP under Obama or POTUS later.
    2
  66. The US would have been in another civil war if we went to Australia level lockdowns.
    2
  67.  @wheezyrider5937  The pandemic has revealed that we are a pretty stupid country. We've got a lot of geniuses, a good chunk of well educated and a large chunk of idiots. Oh yeah, and these idiots don't travel outside the US. And, they certainly don't read the news about other countries. They live in their own bubble. (I've met a few Aussies during a few trips around Asia. Always super friendly and good people.)
    2
  68. If the information is publicly available, it’s not breaking the law. It’s just matching up information.
    2
  69. Looks like $30 is the support level. Dipped below $30 then bounced a bit. Moved +5% in the last 30 minutes before the close.
    2
  70. I'll ignore the coup attempt because he started to enforce a law on the books since 1990s.
    2
  71.  @ingibingi2000  The funny thing is the right wing trolls attack TYT continuously. It's not even that popular (videos with large view counts).
    2
  72. Yeah, that was a bit confusing. How is the woman a citizen and her kid isn't? Maybe some type of green card status. Dunno.
    2
  73. Well said. My parents never disparaged anyone even when we had annoying neighbors move in next door. They always preached fairness and treating anyone kindly.
    2
  74. Does a bear shit in the woods?
    2
  75. Habba and Bobb would make a decent buddy cop comedy film. Your worst nightmare as your legal representation.
    2
  76. I’m pretty liberal and think the no bail thing is stupid for repeat offenders. No bail should be case by case and not this blanket policy.
    2
  77.  @mats66  They have zero clue how the vaccine works. At this point, I have other things to worry about in life. My area is nearly 90% with at least one dose. (and the ICU is only 10% filled with covid patients.)
    2
  78. lol, if Colbert taught us anything, this is only the visible money. Dark money can be washed through multiple PACs and remain anonymous.
    2
  79. Reasonable and fair assessment. Although in the past, these people would be considered moderates / centrists. Goal posts have swung a lot in 20 years.
    2
  80. My mind wandered a bit while listening to this. And, for a second thought this was about Elon. Dude is the exact same way.
    2
  81. We never had any lockdowns. Australia, India, China had real lockdowns.
    2
  82. Exactly, and that's why we have a representative democracy. I can't imagine if people had to vote on individual bills ie referendums all the time.
    1
  83. When did Uyghurs have any autonomy? Did the Uyghurs fire rockets at the Han Chinese?
    1
  84.  @snapper69996666  lol, Gaza and the West Bank were never an official state. It was part of Egypt and Jordan before. And, nice sidestep of the Uyghurs. Saw how you ignored that part.

  85. Hey! some of us get hot very easily. My Dad used to get mad at me when I was a kid as I opened up my bedroom window in the dead of winter. And, I'll get hot walking around foggy SF weather.

  86. I don't think these people went to public school. He's a bit more boisterous than my drafting / engineering teacher, but he reminds me of him. Good teachers are animated!

  87. I can speak Trumpese sometimes. The dude is talking about Mounjaro, the obesity drug from Eli Lilly or Ozempic / Wegovy from Novartis. Which Biden had zero to do with and these drugs have been in development / production pre-Biden, lol. Edit: never mind. Didn't hear his mumble and his statement about prices

  88.  @david50665  lol, people just make shit up now.

  89.  @garwynrosser8907  Actually, no they don't.
    1
  90. Dude - you never read a history book. Ever heard of the '30s ie Great Depression? What about depths of the cold war in the '50s-60s? All the protests in the '60s and '70s with civil rights and Vietnam? Ever heard of the crack epidemic? AIDS crisis? Has your head been buried in the sand?

  91. Dude - if you are some obese person with asthma, beet juice ain’t doing a damn thing against covid.

  92. It's dumb. She's 69 not 79.

  93. Are the Property Brothers pro-Israel? Is that why this channel is covering this story?
    1
  94.  @DanL57  lol, knew it. This channel is garbage. Their love of Hamas is crazy.

  95. O'Donnell is the real deal. Come on. The guy was part of the West Wing.
    1
  96. Ok, smartypants. Since fx is a zero sum game, what currency is going to gain?
    1
  97. The celibacy rule was instituted over 1000 years after the supposed birth of Jesus. It’s dumb. And, makes the church attract weirdos. My Mom’s priest and my confirmation sponsor was a dude that looked like Jim Palmer (baseball player).
    1
  98. Dunno, I would never consider myself an alcoholic. When I used to drink, I would drink to get blasted though.
    1
  99. Bully is the correct description. They picked on people that can’t defend themselves. Shameful.
    1
  100.  @jules.8443  Yes, we had idiots back then too. Was a different time. Civil rights and police brutality wasn't something the average citizen could bitch about. Same arguments though: anti-mask. The police were more aggressive in enforcing the rules. (Also, the masks sucked back then.)
    1
  101. Federal elected officials aren’t responsible for local issues.
    1
  102. She's 69. RBG was 81 in '14 when people wanted her to step down.
    1
  103. Not really an intel asset. It does seems like they paid him to push out a message. But, it's something he likely supported. And, most likely didn't know the true identities of his employer.
    1
  104.  @bugsy9007  lol, appeasement and isolationism. That worked well in the past. Why support Israel either? Or Taiwan? Or the Philippines? Or South Korea or Japan?
    1
  105. I am a true centrist. I think a lot of this channel is batsh** crazy. Also, I think Tucker is the same. I'm weirdly agreeing more with Crenshaw on this.
    1
  106. It's called incremental progress.
    1
  107. JFC. And, at least get the f-ing year right.
    1
  108.  @xero9329  Dude - the actual book title is Nineteen Eighty-Four. Obviously, you didn't read the book.
    1
  109. lol, this channel is weird. They fail to mention the plaintiff lawyer is Mark Bankston who famously sued and did the cross examination on Alex Jones.
    1
  110.  @hakancarlsson2881  How do people survive this far in life without any critical thinking skills?
    1
  111. It's how every bill gets passed. - Supreme Court killed the line item veto bill / law in '98 - McCain famously crusaded against earmarks Unlike earlier laws giving the president discretionary spending authority, "this act gives the president the unilateral power to change the text of duly enacted statutes," Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority. Such line-item vetoes are "the functional equivalent of partial repeals of acts of Congress," he said. But "there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend or to repeal statutes," he added.

  112. So dumb. Steph Curry was very apolitical before Trump. Even he had to start speaking up. Same with Lebron.
    1
  113. lol, we've all seen the Village People video.

  114.  @petercraigg1  That looks like information pulled from a local Carmax site. It all looks publicly sourced.

  115. If you haven’t traveled to Europe, your passport only gets checked once on entering and once on leaving. Guess they didn’t want to use Interpol.

  116. Whatever. This is what happens when people don't work in an office. (Layoffs are different.)

  117. White. Just Google Michael Dial.
    1
  118. It’s pretty annoying. Geopolitics are messy. There are always shades of gray.
    1
  119. The reverse. We supported Iraq. Also, we supported the Iranian government pre-overthrow.

  120. ugh, you really don't understand how complex treasury is.

  121. This channel has gotten so Hamas loving and are cheering an incumbent right wing Russian loving wacko who won his primary in Kentucky.
    1
  122. lol, when did Wos start doing political talk? Recognized his voice from NBA circles.

  123. I've used coke as medicinal purposes. Weekend medicinal purposes late at night. But, I've graduated from medical research many years ago.

  124. Finally. These lefty channels are reporting on this.

  125.  @concernedbiker9414  Moderna received a ton of funding. BioNTech received money from Germany. Pfizer ended up being the distributor for BioNTech. JNJ AZN received funding as well.
    1
  126.  @kurobara3  No cash bail. Apologies.
    1
  127.  @kurobara3  I think people that are one time offenders or even offenders that have things spaced out on minor crimes should be no cash bail. These repeat criminals need a deterrence and should cough up money for bail.

  128. JPM has been the strongest bank since Dimon took over. Never needed any bailout money. And, all the fines they paid was from "dumb" acquisitions at the bottom. Dimon did USA a favor by buying Bear and WaMu. He has regretted it.

  129. You down with CCP? Yeah you know me. You down with CCP? Yeah you know me. Dude - it's an acronym.

  130. Tillis is retiring. The Senate is starting to morph into a bunch of GOP wackos as well: Tuberville, Britt are some of the new crop of the idiot GOP (Britt voted yes. Tuberville didn't vote). Btw, 15 (+ 3 no shows) GOP Senators voted against it (2 Dems and Bernie voted against it).

  131. Same with alcohol abuse.

  132. The smell is pretty annoying. Not a huge fan of the smell. In theory, standard smoking laws apply.
