  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  9. The country is becoming a living parody.

  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.

  11. lol, Walz has no stock or real estate. Zero business interest in the US or China.

  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.

  13. You better learn Russian and Mandarin then.

  14. Totally annoying. You don’t sit in someone else’s seat.

  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.

  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.

  19. lol, are they trying to throw the election on purpose? This issue has a 76% approval rating in polling.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  28. Can we reclassify LSD as well? Pretty please?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  36. One of the studies that showed positive results was faked.

  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).

  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.

  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.

  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.

  43.  @sal5604  All the Project 2025 staffers work for the Trump campaign. And, he's the mafia boss that hired them.

  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.

  45. Who cares what it looks like? As long as it's has the proper portions. This ain't fine dining.

  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.

  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.)

  48. Trash opinions. Geopolitics are messy. There are rarely any definitive right and wrong options. Usually, just less bad ones.

  49. The last person was interesting. Soft spoken and seemed pretty calm. Just a bit confused on the issues obviously.

  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.
