  1. “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov, News Week, 1980.

  3. Sam Harris did a podcast recently titled "A Golden Age for A$$holes" (I had to add the $$ signs) or the algorithm might get me. In it Sam points out that these people have NO SHAME when it comes to lying. They will simply say whatever they feel will get them what they want at this moment. If you point out the grifters that people like Coffeezilla exposes like the one he just did in a video titled "Scammer BEGGED Me Not to Investigate" they have no shame when it comes to telling lies. If you watch the conversation Coffeezilla has with that scammer its insane what lies he will tell. Peter Navarro is in that mold. So are a bunch of the people who latched onto Trump. It was almost like Trump was a magnet for people with no sense of shame or control. I'm almost certain there's going to be a new psychological label for it because they are certainly combinations of shamelessness, narcissism, sociopathy and psychopathic tendencies to say the least.

  4. Yeah about 350 million Europeans and a few billion in other places just went - WTF????? As usual Trump is all about Trump and facts have no place in the discussion.

  6.  @terrypetersen2970  I'm Australian but went to college in America. on a sports scholarship. Its such an awesome country and I'm just watching an idiotic pack of hypocrites ripping it in half FOR WHAT EXACTLY. What are they actually trying to do and/or achieve? Their catch cry was MAGA. So HOW TF is supporting am attack on the US Capital going to "Make America Great Again?" How is lying about it afterwards when the whole world saw it live on television going to "Make America Great Again?" These people are not just damaging democracy in America they are damaging democracy across the entire world.

  8. She was in the US military and when people enter the US military they swear and oath to uphold and protect the US Constitution. It was pointed out earlier this year with respect to Mike Flynn that that oath does not simply go away after military service. Had she survived she could have been charged under the UCMJ with sedition in the same way people explained about Mike Flynn. That will probably go against her family.

  9.  @blaq7892  Go back a bit in western history and this was actually the norm. Girls were married off very young. Basically once they became able to have children they got married. Most often it was to older men for the simple reason they had survived enough battles and disease to prove themselves worthwhile. You actually don't have to go back that far either. The idea that girls waited until their mid 20s to get married and to men their own age is a post world war 2 thing. Because it was only in this modern era that girls started finishing high school and going college. Both my parents were high school teachers and I remember my mother describing this. I know it sounds weird but historically we aren't that far from some fairly weird ideas.

  12.  @savanahmclary4465  Really after the rambling heap pf garbage you started with you're now trying to claim intelligence. To claim "nothing is true" is utter bullshit. If you want credibility then don't start with rambling garbage and don't then claim obvious bullshit.

  13. I'm a white Anglo-Saxon (descent) Australian who went to college in America. I'm an engineer but my mother was a high school teacher who wanted me to understand history. One of the key things about being honest about history is just how brutal EVERY tribe and nation has been at times. Every tribe and nation ahs at one time or another practised some incredible brutality. Slavery was practiced by EVERY tribe and nation and anytime slaves revolted it was put down with staggering brutality. The Romans had that great slave revolt lead by Spartacus and it wasn't the first time. Do you know that for 1000s of years there was no difference between the concept of slaves and employees that there weren't 2 words. That's one of the confusing things about the Bible's use of the word slave. In the older languages the word slave could mean a person you owned as well as a person you employed and paid wages to. One of the things rarely spoken about by African Americans is how the black slaves were captured in Africa. If you go and watch either the 1977 or 2016 versions of "Roots" based on Alex Haley's books, Kunta Kinte was captured by a rival African tribe and sold to the white slavers. Just as happened in so many other places it was people of rival tribes or factions within a tribe who did the initial enslavement. Its right there in Jewish history how Joseph's older brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_(Genesis). Most Australian's watched Mel Gibsons "Braveheart" and cheered on the Scots and derided the English until they realised it was their ancestors who were the English and hand drawn and quartered William Wallace. But then on the Scots side they laud Robert the Bruce but he was also a total psycho who murdered any all challengers to his throne. In one case he threw a baby against a rock wall to kill it, because that baby was related to him and was in the line of succession to the Scottish throne. Its why the Bruce royal family died out - he killed them all off. EVERY tribe and nation has its dark past including racism and EVERY tribe and nation tries to hide it or deny it.

  14. Actually you could have put the words "Every developed democracy other then America" instead of Northern Europe.

  15. True people I wonder if he's aware of the Apache, Iroquois, Mohawk and all the other peoples who were in America prior to Pilgrim Fathers? “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.

  16. Yes plenty of fundamentalists until they find out he has a husband. Apparently Dave thought being gay, having a husband and adopting a child wasn't going to be a problem with the "traditional family values" minded fundamentalist majority on the right.

  19. The one thing that almost every right wing government in history has UNDERSTOOD is that the left think politics should be FAIR. I know its about America but Jeff Daniels famous answer applies to almost the entire Western World these days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIpKfw17-yY Every country has good things about it but also some damn ugly realities they'd prefer NOBODY to speak about. I'm Australian and we love to brag to the world about how beautiful our reefs & beaches are and how amazing our wildlife is, but we are also the world champions of species extinction. The Great Barrier Reef, one of the worlds greatest treasures is, along with our river systems, under threat from mismanagement and greed. We are also right up there with uncontrolled land clearing. We keep voting in Right wing governments because they understand how people vote. The ugly reality is that people vote AGAINST what they are SCARED of or what they are ANGRY about or who they can BLAME.

  24. I think you are probably right she was around 21/22 when they got married and that's not illegal anywhere. There's links on his Wikipedia page to the announcement of the engagement. She was a senior in college when the engagement was announced. Everyone can be all sorts of critical but its not illegal anywhere. Its questionable but not anywhere as close to what Matt Gaetz was up to. Its not even that close to the sugar daddy stuff that goes on. This might not be a good story to use about what's actually happening in Tennessee

  25.  @QuixoticPotato  I understand your story and its far from unique. But successful marriages are built because 2 people choose to make it work and put the effort into making it work. A number of years ago a friend of mine's marriage hit the rocks real hard. A mutual friend who was a few years older than us commented that I should take note that marriages don't simply work you have to put in the effort to make it work. He said there are few things as insidious as taking your partner for granted and that things will just workout. We were into cars at that stage and he said its like dumping a pile of nuts & bolts on the floor and expecting a car to magically appear. I have seen too many friends fall into lazy habits and take their partner for granted and then paid for it. Age never seemed to have much to do with it.

  26.  @dixieporter2960  before I explode back at you lets just get some facts right. I have NOT ignored that he started grooming her in high school. I am NOT saying what happened historically justifies what he has done. I have NOT made any claims or statements that what he has done is acceptable. I merely pointed out that society has changed which its done again and again through history. But if you ignore history you are also ignoring context. So you can F-OFF on both statements. Go and read what people say before you blast off and gas light people.

  28. Australian here - I went to college in America in the late 80s they were drinking a lot of crazy juice back then. I remember warning some of my friends that some of the crap they were starting to lose control of was one day going to bite hard. Yeah and then they let Rupert Murdoch lose, who just knew how to turn crazy into profit. On the flip side the stupidity and arrogance of the Dum-o-crats SHOULD BE a lesson for all mainstream parties that if you want to lose to a pack of maniacs then DON'T DROP THE BALL and listen to your base and give then some hope you will actually do something for them. This stupid message of "You'll be worse off under that guy and that party!" does NOT work when people are trying to deal with SHlT like inflation, cost of living, paying the bills,...... "More of the same" does not win over people who are struggling. How damn difficult is that to understand.

  29. Buddy its not some place where these people are. They are EVERYWHERE. This is the inevitable outcome of relentless fearmongering by BOTH ENDS of the political spectrum. Unfortunately the world is dominated by media driven by the need to out scream their competitors in the pursuit of attention and the best way to do that if fearmongering. "Be scared of this, be scared of that, be scared of everything."

  31. Can people just stop putting microphones in front of these clowns??? There's some real issues in the world. Other than: - A potential nuclear war in Eastern Europe that is already affecting the food supply to millions of people - A potential war over Taiwan that could affect the World's manufacturing capability - 50% the Developed world finally working out how screwed they are after the 2008 GFC while another 40% have had to bail out the Oligarchs who caused the 2008 GFC and have made TRILLIONS since and paid nothing back. - 100 million refugees and asylum seekers from countries that have been devastated by wars and famine caused by dumping millions of small arms into them while their resources have been stripped by the Oligarchs. There's that small problem of Climate Change, which when its not burning the world down is drowning us in floods or smashing us with hurricanes and tornados and threatens to starve several billion people. And somehow there are people in the media who think putting microphones in front of these M0R0NS is what we need to see and hear. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

  33. Yeah the bimbo at 30 seconds spouts off the usual pile of meaningless crap. Nothing she says is actually untrue, even the ballots stuff she's 1/2 right about as they were counted later. BUT THAT'S BEEN EXPLAINED. Yeah fine Biden's old and stayed in his basement SO WHAT. Sure Trumps train was long SO WHAT. The word ignorant comes from the word ignore. As in an ignorant person is won who ignores information. These people ignore that there were observers from BOTH parties and INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS were also present. NOT ONE international observer has said there was anything wrong or suspicious or questionable.

  35.  @shortfattoad7317  Your almost 100% right. My parents were both high school teachers and explained this to me 40+ years ago. There's a difference between the political and economic models countries use. Because of how countries have labelled themselves this last century most people don't separate them. Socialism, capitalism and communism are economic systems and these days almost always exist in some form in every country. In the past countries defined themselves by their political system - Democracy, Theocracy, Oligarchy, Monarchy, etc. Since Adam Smith wrote "Wealth of Nations" countries started to define themselves by their economics as much as their politics. It makes it a lot easier to hide that your a psychopathic totalitarian dictator or oligarch if you label your country by its economics and paint a rosy picture. If you take an honest look at most countries they have social systems of various types, collective ownership of various types and capitalism of various types all running side by side. So unless a country really pushes a dominant economic model over the others its almost impossible to call any country socialist, communist or capitalist, but they all do as part of their narrative. Here's an odd way to consider publicly listed companies in any capitalist country. Practically anyone can buy shares in these companies. Because people are investing their capital in those companies its considered capitalism. But if you take the basic concept that communism is the collective ownership of an enterprise by a community then publicly listed companies can also be seen as a type off communism. The difference is that unlike the rest of communism people can own as many shares as they can afford and they are free to come and go as they chose. The real difference in politics and economics is how much state control and individual freedom there is.

  36. @Resident Zero Well sorry DK-HED but the Nazi ideology was 1/2 based on socialism. That's why they called it what they called it you clown. What they did was a Right wing version of socialism. Look at the Chinese they've done a Left wing version of capitalism. They are currently hammering less developed nations across the Pacific, Asia and Africa with predatory development loans for white elephant projects. That's what Europe and America did with the IMF for decades. Wake TF up.

  38. Bill Murray as John Winger in Stripes. “We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts!” The funny thing is Stripes was meant to be funny and satirical instead it now looks like a documentary.

  40. It also should make people question how Iraq and Afghanistan actually went if America had started holding the idiots and clowns who planned those disasters accountable when it first became obvious that those were headed into disaster. I think this is a case of TYT blowing smoke aaaahhhh-gen instead of doing the job properly.

  41. Yeah its typical millennial stupidity. Anything they think or say is an original idea in their tiny minds. Despite the fact we've known about this since Snowden blew the whistle.
