  2.  @bobpope3656  Like, the median American's net worth is between 44k and 80k. The top 20% of net worth starts at around 500k. What the fuck are you smoking thinking 5m is middle class? That's some pure ideology.

  4. You'd have to be Jimmy Dore levels of stupid not to've foreseen how bad a President Trump would be. Not sure such an obvious observation deserves "credit," especially when some of those people were also insisting Trump is an actual Kremlin agent and other liberal batshittery.

  5. 14:50 Hasan should've mentioned that studies have repeatedly shown that housing the homeless is cheaper than charity or government programs.

  6. Trump's also been calling himself a billionaire...so, there's an inflationary mindset in that cult.

  7. Your family's going hungry during the pandemic? Can't afford heating? Can't pay rent? Suck it up. Gumbent wanna take your $1500 AR? Hell nah! That's tyranny!

  8. There's a long history of charity failing to remedy social problems. By design, it can only stanch the bleeding, but sometimes, paradoxically the worst of times, its munificence can run dry. So of charity in the years leading up to the French Revolution, a period replete with famines and freezes and riots, William Doyle writes, "Monasteries were cutting back on bread doles under criticism that indiscriminate charity fostered idleness." The same would happen under a regime of conservative defunding and ecclesiastical charity.

  15. If anything, action stars are now hyper masculine. They're roided out, veined, biceps the size of small children. It's ridiculous. Bruce Willis looks like Michael Cera next to The Rock. And it's not just their physical presentation. Look at a series like Taken, which is drowning in the standards, reflexes, and anxieties of patriarchy.

  16.  @claudiusatlas8083  That's incorrect too.

  17. Also, like, gee, why wouldn't I let the pigs search my car after pulling me out, failing to state probable cause, gaslighting me on multiple laws and rights, holding me up for hours, and false alerting me with a K9 unit? Hmm, real chin scratcher that. When interacting with the cops, everything can and will be used against you. The cops aren't trying to mete out justice or determine what's right. They're there to make an arrest if possible, even (or especially) if that means twisting your words, actions, and possessions (actual or planted).

  19. Small correction: the US did not admit to a war crime. The US does not commit war crimes. It makes "mistakes." Its leaders experience lapses in judgement. There are errors in our intel. Once in a while, there's a rogue soldier who flies off the handle. But the US never admits to war crimes.

  23.  @SeraphsWitness  "One of the major characteristics that the respondents described was the speed of a fentanyl overdose: Seventy-five percent of the respondents said that the symptoms occurred within seconds to minutes. "But with fentanyl, the same respondent said that the effect is immediate: "I would say you notice it [a fentanyl overdose] as soon as they are done [injecting the fentanyl]. They don't even have time to pull the needle out [of their body] and they're on the ground."

  26.  @kaybaumann4989  There's like Will Smith, Denzel—neither of whom has been in a major, successful franchise in a while—Michael B Jordan, Chadwick Boseman is dead (and Crowder had a conniption over Black Panther)...who am I forgetting? It's not like the film industry is awash in black leads in blockbuster action movies.

  28. 5:00 For the longest time, "democracy" was synonymous with a chaotic, disorganized, unruly society. Some reactionaries still use it that way, eg the hyper pedantic types who insist well akshully we're not a democracy; we're a constitutional republic. Republic also used to be a contentious word in the age of late feudalism and monarchy. When people on the left uncritical accept the reactionary framing that socialism is a spooky word that scares normies away, they miss that reactionaries and the average indoctrinated person aren't bothered by the word. They're afraid of what the word represents—true democracy, worker control, the abolition of class. You have to change people's minds about the substance and associate the things they already like—free healthcare, college, workers' rights, etc—with the longterm socialist struggle.

  36. It's just amazing that Cuomo is using the exact same defense as Biden—he's "friendly" with everyone; he's from a different generation—yet he's getting all the flak and Biden none.

  37.  @samuelmerkel2888  You're just lying and repeating Trump's disinformation. In fact, covid can have longterm effects for many. https://www.wsj.com/articles/doctors-begin-to-crack-covids-mysterious-long-term-effects-11604252961 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-hidden-long-term-cognitive-effects-of-covid-2020100821133 If you're so skeptical of China's info (which does appear to be accurate), I'm sure you're also skeptical of America's numbers, since Trump has repeatedly blamed our infection rate on "too much testing." You continue to ignore that fact that with very few exceptions every other country handled the disease better. You also continue to ignore that Trump went out of his way to lie about the severity of the disease and the impact it could have; he undermined attempts to provide everyone with masks; his administration dragged its feet on providing testing long after other countries had provided free testing.

  40.  @samuelmerkel2888  You think the government's negligence causing the deaths of 250k people isn't a dangerous precedent to set? You keep acting like no one else figured out how to deal with covid better. Basically every other country did a better job than the US. Some places, like China, Vietnam, and New Zealand managed it very well. Vietnam has fewer cases and deaths than my county. —County. It took masks, a lockdown, quarantine for certain individuals. It's not a mystery. You keep ignoring that the recovery is stalling out. Citing GDP (and only the half that sounds nice) doesn't mean dick when more people are entering poverty, wealth inequality is growing, there's a looming eviction crises, and we're entering the second wave, with massive increases in the infection rate. GDP isn't a good way to measure what the economy is like for the average person and it doesn't measure the health of the economy, as Simon Kuznets, the inventor of GDP, has argued. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-economy-reopening/us-data-suggest-economic-recovery-may-be-weakening-idUSKBN27S2H1

  42.  @samuelmerkel2888  You forgot the part where he got 245k Americans killed unnecessarily despite knowing that covid was dangerous. Some of those "bad deals" were pretty essential, like the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran Deal. You're also not pointing out that because of Trump it's going to take longer to get our economy back to normal than after the 2008 crash. You're not pointing out that his stats on poverty are based on outdated metrics, and that many people are sliding back into poverty as a result of his admin's disastrous covid response. You're not mentioning that his illegal assassination of a state official could've started a major war. You're not mentioning that Trump increased drone strikes by 400% and dropped a record number of bombs on Afghanistan. And a thousand other terrible things things he's done. You need to get some perspective bud.

  44.  Google Account #2  Believe it or not, the fact that something could kill you later in the day—an overdose, a heart attack, a traffic accident—doesn't justify the police wantonly murdering you. One imagines that in a less barbaric society, a cop might even be responsible for trying to save you from the overdose rather than hastening its mortal effects. And again, multiple highly respected, highly trained medical professionals, including the Minneapolis ME, testified that Floyd died from positional asphyxiation caused by Chauvin, not an overdose. This isn't Minority Report. Cops can't execute you because they suspect you'll be dead soon anyway.

  45.  @samuelmerkel2888  A mask mandate and a lockdown are not overreach during a pandemic. If Vietnam can contain an outbreak, America should be able to as well. Trump not only did not institute a mask mandate. He blocked USPS from sending out masks. https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-blocked-usps-from-sending-face-masks-to-all-households-2020-9 He then spent the next several months downplaying how dangerous covid is. https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/bob-woodward-finally-got-trump-to-tell-the-truth-about-covid-19 This isn't hard to grasp. America has handled the pandemic exceptionally poorly. The Trump administration bears much of the blame. The 33% growth reminds me of what conservatives do when they praise the Chilean miracle: isolate only the favorable half of the business cycle. That 33% growth comes after a record 31.4% plummet, meaning a net growth of about 1.5%, and most economists say our climb out of recession is slow. On top of that, we're likely to see another dip in GDP as cases continue to increase during the winter. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1244967 About 8 million people have slipped back into poverty, indicating all is not well in Trump's "recovery," except, of course, for those large corporations receiving subsidies from the fed. The poverty metrics are outdated. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/09/16/official-us-poverty-rate-is-based-hopelessly-out-of-date-metric/ Stop simping for daddy.

  49.  @nxbis  The problem is they're ignoring all the studies and evidence for natural transmission, which is where the preponderance of evidence is at the moment. They won't be happy until jaqing off produces the answer they've already determined must be true. It was the same with Truthers, UFO people, JFK conspiracists.
