  1. Peterson is a fraud & this video could've been half the time

  2. The US government has been overthrowing left-wing foreign govt. since at least WW2 and supporting fascist ones in Central & S. America, Indonesia, Phillipines, Portugal & Greece

  4. It is lunacy that you have to be 21 to buy a beer but can buy an AR-15 at 18

  5. Empty words that with achieve nothing. Where are the excommunications? The Catholic Church will speak out against the "evil" of abortion & contraception but do nothing, apart from pay hush money, about all the sexual predators and child abusers in its midst.

  6. Manchin is not the only one to blame, it is weak Dem leadership who should play hard-ball with him. It is also weak journalism that don't report accurately and ask the question "What has Manchin compromised on?". As I have said before Manchin & Sinema are just fig-leafs to cover Dems ass as they don't want to pass this legislation otherwise they would have fought hard and fought dirty to get this done. Dems seem to be happy with Heads Republicans win and Tails we lose.

  7. Feinstein should have been wheeled into the old folks home over 10 years ago. Just another example of the broken, corrupt US political system.

  8. There should be a retirement age of 75 at most for politicians and judges, all judges. The USA like many nations want you to die for your country. Not so keen when you come home injured/disabled.

  9. The free tests in UK are the quick but less accurate Lateral Flow Test. PCR do have a charge from £40 to £100 unless done by a doctor, pharmacy or hospital. So people paying are the ones who are travelling outside the country.

  10. Walmart is an immoral company & that's why the family owners are so rich! They haven't so much created jobs as captured the workers from all the small businesses they undercut & drove to shutdown. They are anti-union to keep wages artificial low, so that their workers get minimum or no benefits. If the business was successful it would pay more than minimum wage & the workers would not have to be subsidised by government benefits like food stamps etc. That means the government actually boosts the profits of Walmart from taxes , when it should be enforcing better pay & conditions for workers rather than lining the pockets of the employers. Boycott Walmart!

  11. Poor leadership not preventing CDC caving to pressure. The heart of the problem is that workers are not protected from exploitative bosses. It is not perfect but look to Europe and see what benefits including sick pay, paid holiday, maternity leave etc employees get. The businesses run at a profit. In the US most workers are exploited.

  12. It is a certainty that if he was black he'd be in jail for the max sentence for what he has already done.

  13. The biggest crime here was hearing another American calling the artist Van Go when that is not his name. It also highlights the poor security at the National Gallery.

  14. Expect howls of protest & accusations of anti-Semitism from the usual suspects. N.B. Palestinians are also Semites. years ago the BBC did a report on Eastern-European women being trafficked through Cyprus to be forced to work in brothels in Tel Aviv. Of course Israel denied the reality of the situation. The EU has invested loads of money into the Palestinian territories & it seems the Israeli state is determined to destroy these improvements in infrastructure. The constant expansion of settler communities in the West Bank has been condemned by the UN

  15. Gore Vidal wrote a short book (Inventing a Nation) and in it stated that the flaw in the US government was that the lawyers captured the government and subverted its powers. The case you quote is what I think he referred to (but not sure). SCOTUS is imposing its opinion on the law rather than deciding the legality of government actions

  16. @DavidDoel Always interested in your videos & comments but have to say you & all the JC fans got this wrong. JC was on the back benches so long as a rebel that when he became leader of the party he didn't know what to do & surrounded himself with "yes men/women". Len Mccluskey, leader of UNITE union was seen as having too much influence over JC and party policy. JC speeches were often about as stimulating as someone reading the phone book. Everyone & everything was to blame for Labours failures in elections apart from the Labour leadership. The hard truth was that under JC's leadership it was proven time and again that he couldn't be an effective Prime Minister as he often got surrogates to do interviews on his behalf. The cult of leadership was strongly linked to the pressure group Momentum of which many were recent members to the Labour party and as "entryists" sought to deselect MP's that did not support their agenda. Thus they were viewed as a party within The Party. This had echoes of Tribune from the late 1980's to mid 1990's that was the root cause of the wilderness years for Labour. JC's supporters were more interested in purging The Party of "Blairites" than fighting the Tories and for many JC was seen as a Brexiteer as he had always been anti EU & so on Like it or not UK General Elections are won from the centre ground. Despite having more than 2 parties most voters cast their ballot for either Labour or Conservative & the outdated FPTP system favours them. Rebecca Long-Bailey was ousted after she refused to take down an inaccurate tweet. JC has also been the architect of his own downfall. See many/most of his statements and he uses the term racist rather than anti-semitic and dragged his feet when tackling the issue in the party. Many cases were not resolved with 12 months yet swift action was not a problem when it came to those who opposed or were perceived to be disloyal. Many voters support a lot of the policies i.e. renationalising the utilities & railways but could see that a Labour government under Corbyn would be a disaster. I await all the vitriol & opprobrium that the JC fans can spew as they can't accept that they were wrong.

  17. here in UK air fresheners on mirror are common. As others point out. To have a taser on your belt next to gun is bad training. To not notice the difference between them = bad training. Officer obviously panicked, that is why she made the wrong choice = bad training. That the Police hadn't been to his home because of the outstanding warrant = bad law enforcement.

  18. UK government is bailing out the British arm of SVB to refund the money to 1,00's of businesses that have lost 90% of their money. Then sell the remainder of the bank to a hedge fund.

  20. A. She doesn't understand the 1st Amendment B. Doesn't understand what defacement is. C. Is too lazy & entitled to wash away the chalk herself or pay some to do it for her, instead wastes tax payers money on it.

  21. Rubio proves that right-wing BS & buzzwords are fact free. Only in the USA do people have a problem with government. Europe does fine with "big" government and social welfare programmes

  22. This old fart still thinks the Cold War is going on. It is a disgrace that he has the gall to say "I mean no disrespect" when that is exactly what he means.
