@arkamukhopadhyay9111 They knew advanced astronomy but the other side were sailing across oceans. This is a childish game. We're human beings and we're all different. Sometimes we can be good, moral people and other times we can behave horrifically. It's not a game of one up man ship. They're just events of our past. Learn from them instead of repeating the same "my side is better than your side" arguments.

I half expected him to say "What about Jan 6th huh!?!? But you don't want to talk about that, do you."

@BurntToast502 If the current system is facilitating child trafficking, there needs to be a large investigation. If these allegations are found to be true, the system DOES need an overhaul and there may even be need of prosecution. As it is, our current system sounds awful and the only way to fix it is through transparent scrutiny and a whole new way of handling the problems that these entities are supposed to solving. The system sounds awful already.

@jadedspades "I was wrong and I will say it". If you'd have watched the video, you'd know that she said this. People make mistakes and she reported on what she knew or thought she knew. It's not so much that she made the error. It's what she does when she realises that she was wrong.

@Silllywalks I've read my comment a couple of times and nowhere have I even implied that anything was accidental. All I said was that there needs to be an open and transparent investigation and then to deal with any wrong doing if necessary. If they're doing wrong, they know it and they'll cover it. That shows that there's nothing accidental about it.

@Silllywalks The very reason that they have the job is to end child exploitation and abuse. When it ends, they no longer have a job. It's in their best interest to never fulfil their end goal. That means, "don't look at what we're doing and above all, don't look at how we're doing it."

@ewrock7635 I don't want to tell anyone what to do with their bodies. I don't want them to sacrifice the bodies of others so they can have a comfortable life. They'd rather sacrifice the lives of their own children than to sacrifice, what they perceive as their future happiness and comfort. The hero self sacrifices for the good of others. The villain just sacrifices others.

@shawnshell5961 He didn't lose his life over a bag of potato chips. He lost his life because he was at the bodega to "eff" someone up and proceeded to do just that. Once he was behind that counter, pushed the elderly worker down, started yelling and cursing at him and was physically trying to force the man out from behind the counter, he was a dangerous threat. Any normal person would have been afraid for their life, including you. Simon was a bully and he lost his life that was predicted by that old adage. "Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword". He'd still be alive had he stayed home. Instead he decided to "eff up" an innocent elderly man who was just doing his job.

@JohnSmith-to5ow History is only a part of understanding how to deal with a pandemic and any and ALL information is always helpful. It's a complex problem, involving biology, science, economic, social interactions and history. Then you want to add in a large dollop of common sense and you come to a conclusion which uses ALL the data and not just the data that suits an agenda.

@dustinbaker8272 He called Tucker a white supremacist and then strongly implied that his views inspired mass shootings. Would YOU want to engage with anyone that makes those accusations? He did more talking than Tucker did. Tucker actually stopped talking so the host could carry on with his list of accusations. He saw to it that this wasn't a discussion but more of an indictment against Tucker. I will also lay odds that you've hardly ever watched Tucker's show, if ever, and are just mouthing talking points that you've heard about and not witnessed for yourself.

@rl8571 Well said. An interview has, as its goal, to try to peel back the layers of an issue in order to understand what is going on, to learn. Smith wasn't trying to understand or learn anything. He was there to win and understanding had nothing to do with this "interview". He allowed the encounter to become an interrogation with the clear objective of finding Tucker "guilty" of the crimes that Smith had assigned to him. The argument that Tucker does the same thing doesn't wash, either. If it's wrong and unethical for Tucker to "interview" in this manner, then the same rules should apply to Smith. However, this isn't Tucker's interview. We should concentrate on the interview of the moment and it was handled badly. I learned nothing from this interrogation except that they disagreed with one another.

@oasean What's Alba to do? Wait until Simon really started to "eff" him up? He could only assume that Simon was there to do what his girlfriend said he was going to do. What that meant and to what extent that was going to be is anyone's guess but I don't blame Alba for not wanting to find out the hard way. It's difficult to defend yourself when your assailant has put you in a coma or you're dead. All Simon had to do was pay for the bag of chips, voice his displeasure, VERBALLY, and leave. That would have been the reasonable and lawful way for him to handle it. As a guy who worked in a convenience store, anyone who comes behind the counter and attacks you is a threat to your life. To assume otherwise is dangerous and just plain foolish.

Racist to blame the lab. Not racist to blame the people at the wet market in Wuhan. That's the way it was.

If Elon's young wiz kids have access to our bank accounts, doesn't that mean that there are government workers who have that same access? That they collated this information and stored it for some undisclosed reason. We're supposed to trust them but not their auditors. That's rich considering that those wiz kids have shown just how corrupt those government agencies are. My guess is that a lot of those Democrats protesting are scared that Elon's wiz kids might find links to their involvement in those corrupt schemes. The guilty can be quite comical in their attempts to cover their guilt.

@thomaschow-s4g Is this gossip, wishful thinking or is it true. If true, give references and prove it. It's that simple. Only a gossip would decline to give evidence.

The idea that the layout of the Capital Building must be kept a secret is pure BS. All one has to do is Google "layout of the us capitol building" and it's all there for anyone to see. I don't even live in the US and I'm privy to this info.

@CaptainCamellot Of course they're illegal. Trump's guilty until evidence proves him guilty. Until then....he's guilty. In what system are outside audits illegal? I suppose we should only allow the Treasury to audit the Treasury......and then the Treasury will find themselves "NOT GUILTY". The Mafia has investigated the Mafia and has found the Mafia innocent of all charges.

What I think is racist is that these health organisations and governments tried to prey on the idea that the Chinese rabble will eat anything. Dogs, cats...why not bats? We've all heard the jokes about Chinese restaurants. That's more racist than believing that a government was taking part in unethical research and allowed their safety protocols to fail. Especially a government that will send you to a camp for being Muslim and a Uighur. Placing the blame on ordinary people because of cultural practises is the very essence of racism.

Trump was only mentioned once but that's not Taibbi's fault, or the fault of Shellenberger or Musk. Those Democrat congressmen had EVERY opportunity to ask about Trump's role but they didn't. Why? If I wanted to get Trump, I'd have went after it. I'm going to suggest that it's because they were afraid any questioning would inevitably lead to the FBI's role in trying to censor speech. Trump's attempts validates the possibility that the FBI could do it as well That one guy, from Texas, just gave a speech, accusing them of wearing tinfoil hats. He never asked ONE question. Shellenberger even ran for California governor....AS A DEMOCRAT. Also, the data dump doesn't matter. What matters is the content of the emails, whether they're authentic and if they were followed up on to censor legitimate news stories. THAT'S what's important. Those emails are there for every member of Congress to see but the Democrats spent little time asking about them. Instead they went after and tried to smear Taibbi and Shellenberger, who, up until this time, the Democrats had no issue with. Everything you said is a partisan plea to ignore what might be the worst government attempt at censorship in American history. You might as well tell us that Stalin censorship was a good thing because you don't seem to care whether it happened or not....unless you could prove that Trump was the only one guilty.

@CharlieTWilbury Or do they. Who's saying that the killers of Tyre Nichols are white supremacists, even though that all killers were black? Who called Larry Elder the black face of white supremacy? Who's saying that math is racist? MATH!!!!! If you hear the accusations of racism, it's almost always from the Democrats and their supporters. They even support college admissions along racial lines. California Democrats even wanted to get rid of the State Civil Rights Act, the act that Dr. Martin Luther King inspired, to enable the racialized admissions in California schools. It's the Democrats who think that blacks aren't able to get an ID for some vague reasons which is ridiculous. I could go on and on. It's their go to accusation on almost every issue.

Tulsi, the "Orange Man Bad" of the Democrat party. The media is going to lose their minds if she makes it to become the presidential candidate.

@joeterzio7175 Is "Joe Terzio" a pseudonym? Is your name really Stacey Plaskett? It might as well be. Taibbi wrote for Rolling Stone. He's won Journalism awards. That's more than some guy with a blog and you KNOW IT. Also, everyone at that hearing, has the emails that that Taibbi and Shellenberger are referring to. It's not some written article in their personal blogs. It's Twitter e-mails and some of them were attempts by Trump, to affect censorship, but most were from government agencies to Twitter wanting news stories suppressed and in-house emails encouraging it to be done. That includes emails from form FBI lawyer, Jim Baker, who left his job at the FBI and went to work for Twitter, and who wanted Twitter to censor Trump and the suppress the Hunter laptop story. This is ALL available to every one of those who were taking part at that hearing. So Stacey, or whoever you are, stop with the "misinformation" to use a hack word to justify censorship. We don't believe you because, at best, it makes no sense, and at worst, it's a lie.

@marksamuel5347 When he does release those files and Trump's not one them, will you accept that? Or will you say that any records with his name on it have been destroyed? Would you ever accept that there's no evidence of Trump's innocence in the Epstein matter? Or will it be like the Muller Report which basically says that they've found no evidence of wrongdoing but that doesn't mean that he's not guilty. You do realise that it's innocent until proven guilty and NOT guilty until we find the evidence that proves that he's guilty. Until then....he's guilty.

Federal contractors have access to the Treasury but Elon Musk can't? Let's name Elon and his team as Federal contractors then. That judges ruling makes no sense. I don't know who those contractors are. What makes them so special?
