  1. What whiny baby. He tells his advertisers to f**k off, and then throws a tantrum when they do exactly that.

  2. OBJECTION: Bella Abzug is not a play on Beelzebub. She was a real woman, a lawyer, US Representative, and one of the leaders of the 70's feminist movement. :)

  3. Because then he has leverage to claim that all the OTHER states he lost, he actually won. At least, that's how his diseased mind figures it.

  4. As a kid in the late 60's, my favorite toy was my set of Klik-Klaks (the name I knew Klakkers by). GODS, I loved those things. I think the attraction was the ability to slam out my frustrations and unhappiness. I loved to stand there slamming those things together, enjoying the sound, the glittery flashes of light, and the sense of being able to do something VIOLENT without being punished, screamed at, or beaten. I don't doubt there were other kids vicariously getting revenge on their lives by flinging those things together.

  5. They hate us for our HYPOCRISY.

  6. YES. Thank you. The military is not obliged to obey orders that violate the Constitution. If that... creature... squatting in the White House had any idea of what his job is supposed to entail, he'd know that.

  7. He's trying to set a precedent for his criminal family.

  8. Considering that the episodes are set in a judicial system that may or may not resemble our own, and that we have no idea how they do or don't other than the narrow examples we see onscreen, I don't know how well a US lawyer would be able to judge their "accuracy". The only thing he could do is compare the cases to the system we have now, and that would be speculative at best. It'd be an interesting exercise, but wouldn't tell us much more than whether things have changed much in that future.

  9. The president is angling to find a way to silence private speech. That is something to take very seriously whether or not he can actually do it. The fact that he wants to do it and is trying to do it can have its own ramifications aside from the eventual result.

  10. We knew he was like this years ago. But the wingnut traitors in the Senate want him there, so there he stays. There's more than a chance that he'll win again, no matter how many people vote against him. TIME FOR THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE TO GO.

  14. You know what argument I'm sick of? The argument that STEM subjects are the only thing that will save humanity, and that anything else isn't worth studying. Meanwhile, our curricula is bereft of subjects like history, civics, the arts - everything that's about HOW WE ARE HUMAN. We're being pushed to concentrate only on the mechanical and not at all on the living, breathing subjects that teach us how to understand each other, how to expand our thinking beyond our own personal borders, how to be citizens of the wider world. Our kids are being pushed into training to be cogs in the techbro machine. It's the 21st century version of the "train for the assembly line" mentality of schooling. And we wonder how we end up with a population that can't avoid being duped by foreign enemies. It's disheartening and pathetic.

  15. That's why it's always written IN QUOTES.

  18. +Dreaded88 The changes in copyright law in the last couple of decades should scare us all. We're going to get to the point where no one will be able to originate anything because somebody somewhere will be able to claim they thought of it first. What started out as a way to protect the freedom of artists is becoming a way to deny artists their freedom to create. That's what you get when you let big corporations dictate the way we run our society.

  19.  @NotTheStinkyCheese  More badly written, you mean. There's nothing particularly strange about incompetence and inattention.

  20. I think disbarment is only for things that affect the practice of law, like gross misconduct in the performance of their job. Although I've heard of lawyers getting disbarred because they did something outside the courtroom that was so heinous it would affect the reputation of the law, I don't think yelling racist asshattery would be enough. (I could be wrong, of course.)

  21. Well, it was true until Nixon. Ford doomed this country with that stupid, blinkered pardon.

  26. When ordinary people are acting like walking parodies, the fact that Brent is a comedian becomes completely irrelevant.

  27. Nope. It should be compulsory to take part, with an option on the ballot of "none". No excuses. You want democracy, then you have to TAKE PART in that democracy. You can't just leave it up to everyone else to do the work.

  32. +Nolan Not the same thing at all. No news outlet is going to give him a 24/7 platform to yell whatever he likes at any moment, at all hours. Plus, he has to get dressed up for that - no whining in his bathrobe from the toilet. No, he's not trying to take down Twitter, that's not his style. He's threatening it, to try and scare Jack into rolling over and showing his belly. Apparently, Twitler ain't paying much attention if he thinks THAT is going to happen. :D
    5
  33. +Audrey Jesus, you wingnuts are so thin-skinned and delicate. Plus, you all don't understand logic. First of all, YOU cannot restrict anyone's First Amendment rights - only the government can do that. Second, even if you could, you'd be restricting YOUR First Amendment rights at same time. Because the Bill of Rights applies to EVERYONE - you included, Missy Thing. See, this is the problem with willful ignorance. It always, always, ALWAYS comes back to bite you in the ass. :D

  34. What with the electoral college standing in the way of the voters' choice, I gotta wonder what difference it can possibly make for us to remember anything.

  35. The sad thing is that's barely a joke.

  36. +poizunman75 But that's a legal system that actually exists. The one in Star Trek is purely fictional, and even though it kind of resembles ours, there's no canon to tell us whether the depiction is "accurate". Like I said, the only thing we can say about it is how it compares to our system, which does exist, and even then, we can only say that about the bits that we can see. That would be interesting, but it's not the same as judging whether the show portrays that legal system well.

  37. +Sylvestre Canales That depends on who writes those history books.

  38. All together, now: "Correlation is not causation." If more people understood that, a lot of nonsense wouldn't be flying around.

  47.  @nelsoncheng2674  Who's talking about fear? This is HERE NOW. It's HAPPENING. Please stop pretending we can just wish this away with good vibes. THERE IS REASON TO FEAR. and if you're going to spew a bunch of cutesy "don't be scared " nonsense, then I'm going to assume you're a troll trying to distract people. Ignoring danger is NOT a way to deal with it. You have to FACE the danger in order to overcome it, and that includes SEEING it and NAMING it, as well as ADMITTING WHERE WE FAILED. Go hide your head in the sand, Sparky - the rest of us want to DEAL WITH THIS.

  50. It would be great to see an episode where the senior partner hires a "fixer" to get the firm ship-shape, and it turns out to be Mr. Stone here. :D

  51. Yeah, I'm aware of all that. You're talking to a feminist of fourty years here. Regardless, why isn't there a push to teach kids they can excel at history or literature or music or art or politics or sociology or anthropology? Logic, psychology, or linguistics? All of these are just as worthy, and just as lacking in women, yet they're ignored in favor of the fields that will benefit the corporations that are now ruling our society. STEM is shoved onto us as the Be All And End All of education when there are many other fields just as worthy, and sorely lacking in students to learn them because we're fast becoming a society that has no use for any occupation that isn't about science and numbers. Women can be just as honored and excel just as much in the humanities, but girls are being told it's the MATH AND SCIENCE that must be the best place to excel. Our students are being deprived of the push to enter fields that teach us how to be HUMAN. And we're seeing the toll even now.

  52. We don't forget what happened. The problem is all the people in this country who don't BELIEVE what happened or don't care. They see what happened as RIGHT and GOOD and think it should happen again, especially here. I don't believe America will ever, EVER solve the problems of racism. They will not be gone until this is a completely different country, probably after a sizable war. It's just too engrained here, the people in power profit way too much from it. Those in power NEVER give up power - it always has to be taken from them. And that's not gonna happen here without MAJOR awfulness and bloodshed. - way too many ignorant yahoos armed to the teeth for any change to be peaceful. Mark me here - we're in for FAR worse than what's happened already.

  53. So Trump couldn't sue anybody for calling him a liar, then.

  54. You can thank the police unions for that. They don't concern themselves with wages or hours or benefits or anything you'd expect real unions to care about. They only exist to shield bad cops, and put massive amounts of effort and money into lobbying for laws that make it impossible to punish any cop who is found to be a thief, murderer, or anything else illegal. That's why they've gotten so insanely arrogant over the past couple of decades - combined with all the military hardware, they now believe they have a right to act exactly as they please, and damn the citizens.

  55. Well, yeah. What, you thought there was any intelligence or talent involved??

  57. +GeneralSamov LOL, you guys always out yourselves at the last minute.

  58. +Dreaded88 I would think the copyright that PBS would hold would extend ONLY to the video recording of the performance that was aired, and not the work itself. I.e., they can sue if someone uses footage from the show, but not if someone dances the actual dance. At least, that's my take from what I'm seeing here.

  59. Spread the link around. It deserves to be seen.

  60. Have you ever noticed that the phrase "to protect and to serve" on the sides of their cars is always written that way - IN QUOTES? Yeah, that tells you everything you want to know about the obvious lie in that phrase. It's basically a troll on the public to get us to trust them.

  61. +"Chuck CCParlson" Yes, you would know, wouldn't you, Sergei? I'm sure you're familiar with all your boss's "operatives". Is he paying you in coin, or do you still have to take your pay in vodka?

  62. "segue". "Segway" is a ridiculous mode of transport for lazy people.

  63. Yes, but one of Twitler's masturbation fantasies is to repeal the First Amendment. (Imagine the shrieks from the Christers when they realize their precious religious rights don't exist anymore.)

  64. Did you have a good time on your hike?
    3
  65. Just goes to show that laws are just words on a piece of paper unless everyone agrees to abide by them. We were too stupid, self-satisfied, and complacent to even CARE to notice how the rules were being changed, little by little, right under our noses. And here we are - the feds have the right to act like the Gestapo, we can't fight them other than in the courts which have now been packed with wingnut enablers, and we're staring a violent, racist, misogynist, xenophobic dictatorship in the face with little to protect ourselves, because we didn't believe our attention was necessary to keep our democracy alive.

  85. ​ @corbinking1866  Well, maybe you should READ IT and find out how limited your knowledge is. "CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESTRICTING FREEDOM OF SPEECH..." CONGRESS. In other words, THE GOVERNMENT. There is nothing in there about what PRIVATE COMPANIES can do. They are free to do whatever they like. You are not being "censored" - you are being required to behave like proper adults. Sign a contract, abide by the rules - that is one of the cornerstones of the "free market" you wingnuts only worship when it gives you what YOU want. See, that's the problem with you wingnuts - what you want isn't the Constitution, with its pesky rules that people actually have to learn. You want EVERYTHING YOUR WAY DAMMIT. You want WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED DAMMIT. You want to be the ones who SAY WHAT GOES AND WHAT DOESN'T DAMMIT. And to hell with what the Constitution says - rights are for YOU and YOU ALONE. Anyone who disagrees is NOT A REAL AMERICAN DAMMIT. You're the opposite of patriots. You want to tear down the American system and replace it with one that gives YOU and ONLY YOU all the "rights", while everyone else has to do what YOU say. And you wonder why everyone else thinks you're a bunch of spoiled, whiny-assed titty-babies with loaded diapers.

  87. How many titles is this video going to have? 😄
    2
  88. They can do it because the Constitution was only ever a piece of paper. Its only power comes from everyone agreeing it has power. That's what nobody wants to admit. Carlin was right - we have no "rights", we have only privileges which are granted to us and can be taken away. It's time everyone realized that, because it's the basic mistake that's making all of this nonsense possible, this assumption that somehow our "rights" exist in some way that is inviolable. It's a chimera that's blinded us to how easy it is to upend everything we think this country is about.

  96. It occurs to me that this is one instance in which Citizens United does NOT turn out to be a shitty idea. Without it, Twitter would not have First Amendment rights as a company - only Jack or his employees would have them. But since corporations are now the same as people in that regard, Twitter can go to war with Twitler and have the benefits any citizen has. :D

  98.  @jasonmaclean719  Ah yes, the tyranny canard. Let's ignore the fact that the 2nd Amendment was pushed into being by slave-holding states that were terrified of slaves taking their freedom by force. Nah, let's assume that any country would be stupid enough to enact a law that gives its citizens the right to overthrow the government whenever they get a bug up their bungholes. Yeah, that makes sense.

  118. So now it's because people don't care? Gee, you seem to change your tune a lot. And your little suggestion is disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst. The push is MASSIVE, across media, government, and society. Don't pretend this is a few people saying it. Where do you see anyone in the media, or government, saying that history is a subject students should major in? Nowhere. Yet it's one of the MOST important subjects that can be studied. The issue here is that STEM is your personal thing, you think it's the most important thing ever, so YOU don't think other subjects are important. Fine, but half the reason we have a population that's so easily duped is the very absence of concentration in areas that would prevent that. But hey, keep pushing kids to make shiny toys that will distract everyone while the world goes to hell. Let's not pay attention to anything that would teach kids how to BE HUMAN BEINGS. Who gives a crap about that, right? * EYEROLL *

I can't imagine how diseased a mind someone has to have to think of doing this as "fun", let alone what kind of disgusting lunatic would want to make MONEY off subjecting people to torture, no matter WHAT piece of paper they sound. This guy is disgusting, his "business" is obscene, and all of it should be illegal. SIGNING A PAPER DOES NOT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO TORTURE YOU.

  140. Mr. Stone! I have an interesting issue for you to look at, and make one of your gloriously snarky videos about if you'd like. My favorite website, Wonkette, has been sent a cease-and-desist letter by a couple of butthurt "activists" which is truly a thing of beauty - if by beauty, one means "hilariously inept and moronic". I figure you might be willing to talk about this kind of nonsensical threat and the impact it can have on free speech. (It ain't having any at Wonkette, other than to provoke peals of laughter.) The post explaining everything is here: https://www.wonkette.com/diamond-silk-cease-and-desist. Please do take a look - at the very least, you'll start your day with a good belly laugh!

  141. LOL, damn, dude. You are savage. Another great video! But speaking seriously, I find this whole thing very suspect. Who started this "joke"? Considering how the FBI is saying we have to be careful online because bad actors are still trying to mess with us on places like Facebook, this little "joke" urging people to go to a place where they are very likely to get into VERY bad trouble - I don't know. Another blow in the effort to drive a wedge between the public and our government, and turning different people against each other.

  142. We have a corrupt, criminal wannabe dictator in the People's House. He has no conscience, no ethics, no morals, and no concept of the real world. The only way we've managed to dodge the bullet is in the fact that he is SUCH AN UTTER MORON. If he were actually intelligent, we'd be in serious trouble. Which is why the next guy may very well be TEN TIMES WORSE.

  143. Barr's venality is unbelievable. Trump is on record saying he was thinking about disobeying the Supreme Court. How stupid does Barr think the American people are??

  144. How about a video on Roman J. Israel, Esq? I just saw this movie and thought it amazing. It would be great to hear your opinion on its legal accuracy. (I'm really starting to depend on you to let me know when I'm watching crap, LOL.) Hope you had a great holiday, man!

  145. I second Katie Davis's suggestion of "Primal Fear". That's a hell of a movie, and I'm very curious to know how it holds up in legal terms!

  150. We need a constitutional amendment forbidding any president from pardoning anyone in his own adminstration or anyone connected to any acts that may have been committed by the president. In other words, NO USING PARDONS TO DO PERSONAL FAVORS OR KEEP HIMSELF OUT OF JAIL.

  155. +Patrick starshooter Yes, and THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT. Ideas should not be copyrightable. The law is for actual created works, not ideas. If you start slapping a copyright on ideas, eventually nobody will be able to create anything original. Everything will be owned by someone else, artists will be unable to make a living, and you'll have screwed yourself out of the whole POINT of the law to begin with.

  156. +Lord Knightcon But Ribeiro did NOT create those dances. He specifically said he cribbed them off others. So he's admitted himself that he doesn't have the right to those moves.

  157. No, it's not an incremental difference. A created work is actually set down while an idea is just floating in someone's head. I could sue everyone who ever came up with something after I was 5 years old by yelling HEY I THOUGHT OF THAT FIRST. Who's going to prove I didn't? That's why copyright is about things that have already been MADE. Books that have been written. Songs that have been recorded. Footage that has been filmed. Copyrighting ideas, as I said, is just going to end up locking down everything so that nobody can ever make a living creatively unless they're paying blood money to somebody else who claims to have thought of it first. It's a vicious circle that's going to end up erasing the entire POINT of copyright law in the first place - to make it possible for artists to make a living.

  158. How is it that bankruptcy will delay the case? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Seems to me that if you've got a case going about your finances, the LAST thing that you should be allowed to do is file bankruptcy. The existence of the case should make it impossible to file in the first place. Jeez, the ways the law produces for offal like this to get away with their crimes is unreal.

  165. I called this man's firm on behalf of my mom, who has used Roundup for at least fourty years. But her cancer isn't yet linked to the chemical. The person I talked to said they would put her name on a list they're compiling, should any connection with other types of cancer be discovered. (She has stage 4 lung cancer.)

  169. By the way, hinging on the concept of whether an idea can be copyrighted, I'd love to hear your opinion on the Terminator case, in which author Harlan Ellison sued James Cameron for writing a script about the idea of "soldiers from the future". He claimed the script he'd written for The Outer Limits twenty years before contained ideas that were copyrighted and thus not usable by Cameron without permission. If I remember correctly, Cameron's counterclaim was that the concept itself wasn't subject to copyright, and since his script for The Terminator was substantially different, Harlan had no claim. I think they settled (I might be wrong about that) but I've always wondered how much merit the whole thing had.

  170. Would have been nice to have some setup before plunging right in. I was totally at sea here. What was the medical problem? How did this case come to court? What the hell is even going on??

  171. Please consider doing a reaction to "Roman J. Israel, Esq." A really good legal movie that deserves more scrutiny.

  173. The video deals with exactly this issue. No, a channel won't get dinged just because it's animated. Takes a LOT more to mark it as being for kids. There's a ton of fear-mongering and ill-informed panicking going on around this issue. LE is a copyright lawyer - he knows what he's talking about, unlike most of the people running around with their hair on fire. Watch the video.

  177. On the inclusion of the "exonerate" quote, this may sound like a joke, but it's only meant halfway as one. Given the incredible ineptitutde of this administration, is it possible the person who wrote that letter doesn't know what the word means? We're assuming Barr wrote it himself, but unless we can see it in his handwriting, it could have been written by someone else and then signed by him. Because really, the inclusion of that quote is just weird given that Barr is clearly looking for ways to make Trump look good.

  178. Technically, the claim that the drink had as much caffeine as their coffee was true. There was an equivalent amount in there - but there was also more. For example, I have 10 pennies. Do I have 3 pennies? Yes, I do. I also have 7 more, but that wasn't the question. They didn't lie; they just didn't mention the extra caffeine. Ethically specious but technically true. ETA: I'm puzzled by the epithet "plant-based". What else would be in a glass of lemonade? Makes me very suspicious of their regular lemonade. (There been a weird trend of claiming things for an item that are irrelevant, like saying a can of chicken broth is gluten-free, when chicken broth has nothing to do with gluten in the first place. It's indicative of how stupid there companies think their customers are.)

  180. +islamic school Because, as a cop, he had the AUTHORITY to do what bystanders couldn't do. But he let his inertia get in the way. Also, he was PART of the act, not a bystander. There is no bystander law that mandates an uninvolved person has to jump in, but this guy WAS involved. So no, not a good enough excuse when someone is being killed right before your eyes.

  185.  @AaronLitz  Also, it's funny that the producer of "The Apprentice" has come out and talked about what an enormous effort it was to try and edit the footage in order to make Twitler look like he had any brains. Apparently it was almost all the same kind of stupid blather we've been forced to deal with for four years. So if anyone's to blame of this miscreant lunatic's rise to power, it's that producer AND the ghostwriter of "Art of the Deal". And they've both publicly said they're really, REALLY sorry for every having been involved with this drooling maniac at all.
