  1. This woman seems more like she is performing witchcraft at worst, at best feigning being an oracle. Certainly blasphemy.

  2. defamatory libel? Didn't trump himself say a president can't commit treason?
    230
  3. No he isn't, he is nearly everything the bible says not to be.

  4. "If it weren't for freedom of the press and general democracy, I would have won."
    93
  5. Just imagine if Biden got Texas lol.
    74
  6. You know how the saying goes. In like ...Yang.
    51
  7. "Don't be rude to the Finnish president! Ask him a question!" Doesn't let him answer.
    34
  8. Certainly sounds like a criminal on the run lol
    31
  9. I don't see him being legitimately re-elected at this time.
    29
  10. Now that Yang is doing commentary, people will be like, "damn, I should've voted for this guy" Next election he will have much more recognition.

  11.  @justiceandliberty9724  So you admit he didn't make it great in this last term? What evidence is there that he will this time? The dude, failed on his campaign promises. The man didn't go his own way, he just adopted the republican plans. He claimed he would hire the best people and "drain the swamp", but has instead fired dozens of people he initially touted as great and later called incompetent (a diligent/competent leader can hire good employees, he has demonstrated repeatedly that he cannot.). He even still has people currently working for him who he has recently stated aren't great, and he knowingly hired people who are literally criminals. More importantly for hard working middle class america, he has caused endless problems for farmers and labourers with his illconcieved tarrifs and trade blunders. He didn't give substantial cuts to people who weren't the hard working middle class. He promised not to cut medicare, but would expand it; he instead worked with the attempts by republican congress to do just that. The man hired his kids and their spouses... look at any company, that's not how you get the best people for the job, that's just a hallmark of a poorly run business. Even Henry Ford the second, almost destroyed his father's legacy.

  12. They can't be changing the rules for one person. In the past, in the present, and in the future, it invalidates the process.
    19
  13. He's Jewish? Cool. I don't generally consider anyone's religion, interesting to know, doesn't change anything. ...you know, if he was a pastafinarian I might find it amusing, and if he were a scientologist I might be concerned a bit given the stories. But ultimately it's the actions an positions that will make a person favourable or unfavourable.
    19
  14. Everything he is admonishing Biden for are things he's done himself... almost every day. Does their big slander campaign fall apart if another candidate wins the democratic vote?
    18
  15. People like klobuchar irritate me, it's all fine and dandy to attack you, but when you point out their lies or arrogance, suddenly it's about, "how dare you!? You are the worst person ever for poining out my failings and inadequacy". Maybe they'll throw in some tears and suddenly everyone is on their side, even if they were just lied to by them.
    16
  16. "Guys guys, this was all part of Trumps plan! He has been successful in making Mexicans want to stay out of the USA"
    16
  17. But this isn't just boycotting, this is doxing and getting people fired, censorship, and more. This isn't a temporary protest, this is the intent to permanently eliminate something with the justification of even vaguely resembling something resembling the initial outrage. If people think for themselves and boycott a company with the hope of creating change, then that's ok. BUT the harassment and attempts to enforce their views or literally coerce people. That's not ok.
    16
  18. Yang breaks some political scandal on youtube and starts trending on Facebook. Simultaneously Biden is taken to jail, and Warren and Sanders meld into a superhuman monstrosity.
    15
  19. Would it be affected? Can an effect '-ed'?

  20. Greedy but shortsighted people would, anyone who is easily swayed by promises of free snake oil.

  21. Racism and Sexism occur and we need to be better at preventing and responding to it. HOWEVER, this isn't a constructive resolution, it's retribution deployed in a petty and equally racist manner, thereby creating animosity and perpetuating racism.
    14
  22.  @hamishgaffaney5323  Which is weird because he is not at all an 'alpha male', he isn't even traditionally masculine, nor does he have leadership traits. However, he does have some negative traits that lately have been treated as male exlusive traits within certain vocal groups (despite being universal): a guise of competence, narcisism, pride, pettiness, ilmannered, gluttonous, laziness, lacking a sense of responsibility, dishonesty/no accountability.
    14
  23. "A perfect Physical specimine and EXTREMELY young ..except maybe a couple of pounds (aka, not perfect)" The man is nearly 80! 15 years older than Obama! 27 Years older than Obama was when he took office! In NO world is Trump young.

  24. ...That's not how Amazon works. I have sold stuff on Amazon. Amazon shipped products go through the annoying UPS. Seller shipped products are shipped however they want at regular prices.

  25. An Inca? That's too much praise. He just sounds like a bully, everything he's done has made him seem like a school bully.

  27. When talking about societal problems like racial, religious, or gender discrimination, we sadly tend to ignore the discriminatory acts by other members of the discriminated group. There are several families I have met who refused to allow their children to date white people. People will drop everything to defend a minority religion (here, also bear in mind that every minority is a majority somewhere) because they were were not allowed to (as an example) wear a turban and not the prescribed uniform. Meanwhile 10 years ago there was a big fuss trying to stop Christians from saying merry Christmas (a rather dulled) form of religious expression. If we want people to respect eachother it cannot be enforced unilaterally, you just get a negative feedback loop where each group feels more justified.
    12
  28. An impeachment will happen (or they will wait till after the term to announce the findings, which is a mistake) the question is, before or after the riots.

  29. **IT IS like the flu in that it is highly transmissible, that influenza has a higher death rate, that tsome flu-like symptoms are shared, and that most people with high risk of complications would likely be at high risk were it influenza. However, it IS different in that the Corona virus mainly affects the respiratory system and is a different species of virus. Does trump understand any of these distinctions when he makes a comparison, doubtful.
    11
  30. That is the only logical and economically stimulating approach.
    10
  31. "Where do you get your news" Does not merely answer the question.
    10
  32. If someone invited me to a range I would rather it be an archery range or a rifle range. Considering the man wants to convey his manliness, why does he do golf and not hunting or something other republican presidents do? (not that any of those things make you more manly, but optics wise for his base)
    10
  33. That's where you're incorrect. Yes simply picking the middle ground won't make big changes objectively. But, being able to be free of the engrained dichotomy of US politics and the prison of only chosing left options or only choosing right options. Will lead to more appropriate resolutions on individual situations, which leads to greater success, less time arguing/reversing decisions, micro vs. macro societal rifts on politics, and better facilitate logic and objectivity in decision-making... In other words more progress and constructive criticism.

  34. Wait. officially invite a YouTube rep for an interview

  35. No David. I will keep my $2.90 /650g Rasin Bran, thank you.

  36. That would feed into the 'Fake news' fallacy all too well.

  37. So it is worshipping guns rather than worshipping the constitution. The first amendment is first because it is more important to democracy.

  38. Might as well try to convince your congressman.

  40. But this isn't just boycotting, this is doxing and getting people fired, or more. This isn't a temporary thing, this is the intent to eliminate something even vaguely resembling something resembling the initial outrage. If people think for themselves and boycott a company with the hope of creating change, then that's ok. BUT the harassment and attempts to enforce their views or literally coerce people. That's not ok. Especially now where it is counter productive and in many cases promoting segregation.

  42. I agree with New Lady (*Jen) 100%.

  43. I don't see how being no one's first choice is an issue, forcing a second choice, yes. But if you volunteer all the options you are ok with the system compromises efficiently on behalf of thousands of people. If you have 98% of the population vote for person C as their second choice you wind up with a decision that the views of the population as a whole are far more accurately represented, and more palatable. But if you really wanted you could also add a scale weighting to each tier of vote. But single transferable vote is also ok, more like a round robin.

  44. he often is with callers

  45. The man wanted research into internal disinfectant use. You think he can do math?
    7
  46. if you don't pay attention and just get all his promises word of mouth he would have sounded like... hmm maybe we should give him a try. At first I thought "hey, Trump seems like a good choice, he seemed business savy on the apprentice, and isn't supporting any of the Republican positions." Then after watching him speak, I was like... "this guy is full of crap, and does not seem knowledgeable, professional, or even intelligent. Let alone trustworthy". Bernie seemed (seems) too extreme, but looking into him more it became clear he is a man of integrity, was capable, and fights for his constituents. So even if I didn't like his policies he would be a better choice. Then Clinton won the primaries and I was like... "shiiiiiiiiiiiiit, well this country is going to eat itself".

  48. Or some uninformed "right winger" thought it somehow actually had her contradict herself.

  49. Before I watch. David has, he said "bigotry is bigotry no matter who is doing it, and it's never ok" (basically) and rightly so.
    7
  50. Nope, everyone I know wants to avoid the US. #1 reason Border security issues, #2. principles

  51. I don't care for the new "modern" ultra-bland intro clip.

  52. If this is legit, this is just ridiculous!

  53. And some were, I mean... there have been leaks since day 1

  54. KC But they are constantly trying to make traffic safer. Just as one basic example, you need a license and training for driving. They won't even put in logical restrictions that responsible gun owners agree with. Your base level comparison falls apart the instant you subject it to any analysis.

  55. Please it hasn't even restored its reputation for detonating 2 nukes in Japan.

  56.  @ericaclay4746  It wasn't stuttering so much as stumbling and jumping around. But I doubt I would do much better, with my sideways tangents.

  57. So who bribed who to take advantage of a situation to push their crappy drug onto the market when it might otherwise never be.
    6
  58. The US is not the greatest democracy, because it's currently not actually a democracy. It is the illusion of choice. They are cooperating but they have the capability to ignore votes.
    6
  59. literally no pucks left to give.
    6
  60. I don't know, sometimes I'd isn't enunciated well. Listening to the clip I am not 100% positive that he only said 'I'. I would need to see the audio file to see if there was a quiet d sound before I supported either stance. Regardless, his assumption is a little unfounded, because he also has terrible relationships with... every European leader... and probably worse relationships, with those who he cited, than he believes.
    6
  61. If I ever get sat down at the US border, I am blaming China for everything. I think they'll buy it.
    6
  62. I am glad he said it, it means even they see the hypocrisy sometimes. Really the lesson for them is, don't just fall in with the hate train because of WHO said it, just for yourselves evaluate the merits of WHAT was said.
    6
  63. Boycotting and demonstrations are fine. I agree labelling that as "cancel culture is absurd". But David, you are literally using an argument about guns that you have refuted, to justify dismissing "the few" cases. That should tell you to take a step back and re-examine. The specific type of situation people are unhappy with aren't that few right now, and I think for your own personal sense of truth and thoroughness should look into this further. In these cases there isn't even a boycott, people are just so afraid of the internet mobs that they capitulate. And You are right it is a few people doing trying to make these things happen. But they are doing it hundreds of times to anyone and anything they can. And it is absurd that people and companies are listening to these few extremists who wouldn't even affect their bottom line even if they did boycott... which they again, aren't even doing, or threatening to do.

  64. Identity politics is one of the biggest barriers to human progress at present. In countless situations it has been in fact, regressive. Other big barriers are things like, incompetent presidents and hyperpartisanship.
    6
  65. I can't see that being racist agains the individual, but I think he was trying to blame the virus on China, in a way devoid of logic or setup.

  66. They can't sign away the rights of a child.

  67. Crazy, I had no idea. From this, it sounds just like all those secret society and shady community movies.

  68. Sounds like what a school bully might say to try to force capitulance over someone they had no actual power over.
    5
  69. They should sue poloticians spreading lies as well.

  70. But not his former, former lawyer, hey?

  71. Some good points on Biden's pick of SoD. Has Benjamin Dixon lost weight? He looks good and in good spirits. Which is impressive given the year,
    5
  72. "but the election should decide who the people want" Said the Republicans in 2016 6 months before now.
    5
  73. Racism and sexism is wrong no matter who is doing it. It is not a eye for an eye makes this ok thing. It just creates a bigger divide and can only ever perpetuate the the issue we claim to want to get rid of.

  74. "the soviet union became bankrupt and became russia" That's not what happened.

  75. And you thought there was nothing he could do once the election is over.

  76. So had anyone even fact checked his claim about fre trade being a net cost to the USA? (Not unrealized profits but actual losses)

  77. allegiances of convenience.

  79. "I have built" Taking credit for the work of others.

  80. This is both anti-bigotry and bigotry... good, contradictions are the spice of life lol. Conservatives are not synonymous with racists, or mean, no more than liberals are. Some are unpleasant people, others are not. I know the types of people you were referring to specifically, and that's true. However, we should really about this mass labelling/stereotyping thing it's just polarizing everything and that's not solving problems (the right stereotypes the left, the left stereotypes the right. As a result no one has a productive conversation).
    4
  81. That is true, unfortunately it doesn't stop the disregarding of it.
    4
  82. The methodology for packaging these laws into bills is ridiculous.
    4
  83. Still though, it isn't really the people's fault. Even the people I know who voted for trump, the most we can hold against them is being naive in the hope that trump was more than he appeared. The US government, and trump in particular, however....

  84. As it should have been, should be, and no matter what, remain.

  85. Yes, now, after the shutdown, still at a point of issue where more shipping is needed. But no, they're going to shut it down. Ridiculous.

  92. Adults like this exist but people are afraid of letting teens vote.... good job guys.

  93. Not surprising, eveyone complains when you point out they aren't following government restrictions. Appalling, but not surprising.
    4
  94. David seems to really dislike this caller and keeps distracting them from the core question.
    4
  95. I completely agree he definitely gets hyperbolic, sometimes hypocritical. But I still watch because I know it isn't deliberately done to mislead and he often corrects/clarifies his statements.
    4
  96. "I am here in my personal capacity" Q1: So you're not getting paid right now? Q2: So none of what you are saying is official and at arms length?

  97. I mean, it isn't technically a pandemic yet. But regardless of what it's called, it should be handled as is prudent.

  98. Is there a voter registration website you can link?

  99. It sounds moronic, but it also sounds like someone didn't read her whole statement and took one somone else already took out of context. (Still, could just be a head of education being moronic)

  103.  @jacobwilkins8761  I agree, he is often very pretentious when dealing with callers, often because he simply misunderatands their questions and subsequently assumes they are just stupid. When you start a conversation in that mindset, you end up dulling your ability to listen and interpret so it is sort of self-fulfilling, but also just makes you ignore people. I think when calls were answered with Pat it gave more of a double pass. That said, he also just gets a lot of calls that are monologues not questions. So, it is understandable that he be weary... though still unprofessional.
    4
  104. But if you were to suggest that it isn't 100% effective, merely for accuracy and to inform, many would consider that anti-vaccine or vaccine alarmism. Because everyone jumps to conclusions online since text is toneless.
    4
  105. yeah... calls like this make David look bad because of how he replies. Just all kinds of misdirection to stop talking about it.
    4
  106. It was clear a long time ago that the Checks and balances are almost meaningless.

  107. "Look at my stack of newspapers. I read so much, look at this, so many terrible things happening these days. So many great things too, great things I have done. I can't even tell you what's all in them it would take too long. Definitely a lot of fake news though. I am going to go read the art of war, I read it cover to cover every night. Tsun Tsu, I bet you don't even know who that is, no one actually reads the books I read. But I read them. I know so much, some say everything."

  108. We all know how that ended

  109. It is a shame because Yang seems more competent than biden.

  110. Most of us predicted leaving the EU was going to lead to significant short and medium term consequences, if not long term. But no, people think you can flip a switch and kick out the immigrants and continue trading like nothing happened.

  111. DIdn't trump admit he fired him because of the Russia investigation?
    3
  112. Whenever someone struggles with their communication David tries to play off their criticisms or counterpoints as unintelligible. If it were rare I wouldn't assume it was on purpose. It's just unprofessional, even if they are saying rude things to him, he should strive to be above that. I will say that in general he does better than many, so that should be applauded.
    3
  113. That's a great question, if they don't then YouTube may have legal issues around false advertisement of premium, possibly some other contract breaches.
    3
  114. Before I watch, is it that "Cancel Culture is largely frivilous and highly counter productive"? I am honestly tired of all the segregationists on the internet slipping their BS in whenever there is outrage, and the 'cancel culture' then balloons to everyone and everything vaguely reminiscent of the initial issue. Successfully distracting the mob and PREVENTING real and substantial change.

  115. Hey, think of it this way... You will have greater authority over the identity politics zealots, because of the heirarchy of victim status.

  117. Whenever a first study is done, it recommends further study (if it is unbiased and not over stepping).
    3
  118.  @randomstuff-qu7sh  It's not just them, there are too many massive hypocrites in politics (and just day to day). If someone shows up to a crisis it's a photo op, if they don't it's being unsupportive.
    3
  119.  @bakker071  It's all about the blade, I am sure you understand the basic chemistry of a harder material will cut a softer one. Then there is heat as a factor. I am pretty sure the border wall is just made of generic mild steel girders. I mean, we can probably look up and find exactly what the carbon content is in the steel for the wall. And probably some recommendations for how to best cut it as well. At the end of the day they could just bring a Acetylene torch, or a plasma cutter. So it's not like the wall is impenetrable. Which is still irellevant because it is not immune to the easiest option which is a rope or a ladder.

  120. Knowing YouTube, they were probably all just rejected on random or copyright grounds just like any other YouTube thing. Rather than denying them on things they are actually doing (in this case likely containing false information).

  121. I have always thought it was anti-democratic and completely absurd.

  122. Singapore is spending less? does it have anything to do with proximity to low cost labour, and a lack of distribution costs associated with having a giant country?
    3
  123. A$$ho!3s aside, the gradually prevailing logic that all men are predators and that saying hello or talking to women is harassment, is harming relationship building (not that Me Too was the cause). Even if there is a conversation a woman wants to have with a cute stranger, some random sees a stranger talk to another stranger out of the blue and thinks "SAVE THE WOMAN". Then you see which of those observers get involved (If you are lucky, none). Which ironically, contradicts feminist perspectives of letting women handle their own problems (or in this case, daily lives). (Helping someone who needs help regardless of traits is a good thing. But people don't need or want strangers butting into their lives. If they are actually struggling, ask, if they decline maybe respect them enough to listen).

  124. I am suspicious of the convenient timing of the glitch. I thought Republicans were big on family values? (or at least the appearance of, since politicians seem to constantly have affairs).

  125. I hate to say it but, it seems like half of the Americans I meet believe the USA invented everything. Snowmobiles, the telephone, electricity, cars... the wheel apparently.
    3
  126. I would vote for Biden, I predicted this before he even ran. But IF people collectively think he will lose regardless, then Burnie should run independent for the chance of Biden pulling out after getting steamrolled. (The split is moot IF you think Biden will lose anyway). Alternatively, the two could gang up on Trump in debates then one can cede to the popular candidate before the advance votes.
    3
  127. Yeah, supreme court justices, or senators in Canada, are foolish enough. But lower federal courts? Weird.

  128. Why would we be surprised?

  129. yes more labels, good...

  130. And what about the highly educated who know exactly how effective they are and what the side effects can be, and how non-exhaustive testing is by nature that know there should be some level of caution taken with ANY vaccine (Though in most cases it's worth it)?

  131. conspiracy or no, it should be a warning to everyone to check on their stored chemicals and ensure they are secure and properly stored.
    3
  132. The self-proclaimed "Feminists", always looking for some outrage to stay relevant. It's all about how they present themselves, vs how they act and have acted. Hypocrisy weakens your argument. They of all people should know that. That said, I agree. $60,000 a year is basically the average salary (not the mode salary, or the median).
    3
  133. The ammount is irrelevant, the ammount that is a result (indirectly or directly) of their positions with the whitehouse that is important.
    3
  134. as an aside, this thing with the texts and the russia investigation is ridiculous. What? Are we supposed to pretend FBI agents aren't citizens and don't vote or have political preferences? There is no evidence (yet) suggesting they acted on or biased any findings based on these preferences.

  135. no better than those telephone fraudsters

  136. "Can you answer tough questions" Something you should ask everyone, something they probably do.

  138. I think a cognative and health test for every candidate would be a good failsafe for the leadership of the country.

  139. But Poland's being largely caucasian isn't necessarily a determinant of the observations he applauds.
    3
  140. SO let me get this straight. Obama had to deal with unfounded birth certificate harassment, but Trump is more a victim because he is being badgered about his AT MINIMUM (republic zelotry included) questionable behaviour.
    3
  141. Those seem like completely independent issues.
    3
  142. I liked the guest but... As usual David's take on this is garbage. And I will note, newly hypocritical based on his past comments (not that he isn't allowed to change his mind but he has simply flipped his position on the exact same things from being the king proponent of what he misleadingly called 'consequence culture' and saying "cancel culture is not a real thing", to it being a thing "but it's just The Right"). I won't rehash my entire issue, which was why I took a break from watching him. But he has become too partisan and not objective enough. This mob justice deemed 'cancel culture' is am issue period. Not one side or the other but whoever partakes. Boycotting is fine no one has to buy something, or like something. Having an opinion is fine. But when it crosses the line into coersion, or crime, discrimination by association and the somewhat tempered witch hunts, it is completely unacceptable. Have people misused the term 'cancel culture' to draw association and mislead people for political purposes, absolutely and also is not ok. But, we should not sit back and watch as people then use it as a justification to do it more just in furtherance of their own goals.
    3
  143. This is the model conduct of a police officer. I can't speak to his skill in other areas but those are teachable.

  145. You are still giving a false impression of the situation with vague language focusing only on the most concerning. Please give people an accurate impression of what the virus is like (and how many cases have been identified here), who it is a big danger to, how it compares to other viruses, and how people can best protect themselves and others. Right now you are only mildly better than when trump fear mongers about something. He will blatantly lie, where as you are omitting so much that it is not a good representation. All because you don't like what the president is doing (it's fair to criticize his approach, but... your objective journalism is suffering as a result).

  151. I like that they are taking initiative against false information. However, I don't support censorship and suppression of freedom of speech. I think Twitter has a better approach of flagging false information. It would be easy for google to go one step further and link to correct sources on subjects. Not to mention these last 4 years or so, youtube has been strongly abusing it's abilities to promote narratives of its choosing.

  156. First and foremost, the president's level of care is in no way indicative of the typical treatment. So even if he does well, it doesn't mean everyone will. (Let alone differences from case to case, and 1 not being at all adequate as a sample size). That should be obvious to most, except he himself is not noting that, and I highly doubt his hardcore supporters will even have the thought fly by subconciously.

  157. No, it is stupid, but in most contexts (ie uses) it is the same as saying "I am not homosexual but...". Followed by something that could draw their sexuality into question unintentionally, not because being gay is bad, but that it maymake things confusing. Which means that the issue would be that merely discussing your sexuality is homophobic... or at least telling someone you are straight is homophobic... Which is over reaching. Now, if someone outstreached their arm with their palm out and said, "No, homo" then they would be using the term homo, as a slurr. No "homo" in itself is not a slurr, unless it is used in a negative context, otherwise it is merely an abbreviation of a long word, and holds meaning in itself as a prefix. ex: One may also say, "No homo, please" or "anything but homo" when specifying their milk preferences to someone buying groceries. Context is significant in the english language. If you don't like it, give one word/phrase only one meaning, and replace inflections with a grammatical particle... or something.

  158. This is similar to the effect of the UK leaving the EU, only there is no indirectness. Tariffs are tariffs, they were created directly and intentionally, not as a consequence of wanting to keep out all the "dirty migrants". (Which was also a poor decision economically. At the very least poorly thought out.)

  164. Where are all those hypocritical Trump supporters who were complaining about leaving kids out of it, when a woman merely mentioned Barron's name as a quip to Trump's nepotism? (Taking issue with the name, not the child) Unlike her, he is directly attacking a teenager (as he has done many times on twitter). I think they attacked Obama's daughter in the past as welll?.. I don't remember.

  165. In many countries in asia sending someone of lower status to discuss business is considered an insult. Also, Kim Jong Un has comveyed disapproval of Mike Pompeo (however that's spelled). So I could see not wanting to deal with him. If this has any chance of working unfortunately it will have to be Trump (which even if he does seems likely to fail), the president of South Korea, or a submissive seeming replacement for Pompeo who is actually a master manipulator.

  168.  @jtg1972  it's not even gullibility or stupidity (...entirely anyway), it's largerly polarization. The result of these eye for an eye, stereotypes and straw-man arguments. Anything anyone says in disagreement (regardless of their affilitation) is automatically defined as the extreme of the (left or right) oposing party, and obviously because all leftists are the extreme "SJW" "Socialist" "libtard" "SoyBoys", and all on the right are the extreme "Neo-Nazi" "Incel" "Misogynists", their opinions don't matter no matter if they agree on 99/100 other issues. In fact, any opinion held by them after that over generalization is applied, is abhorrent and absurd, because any opinion by X terrible thing, must also be terrible. Anyone can have useful insight once and a while, be they a dunce or a Nazi. It doesn't mean you have to agree with all of their views, it doesn't validate them either. Take the points of commonality and find points of compromise where you can. You don't have to like an opinion, but even if you disagree with its conclusion, chances are some arguments at least portions of value. But no, no one wants to question the foundations of their view of reality, and it's easier to shout and call people names.
    2
  169. Warren is a bit absurd, I wish people would see through such strawman arguments. If someone signs an NDA only the direct parties involved may dictate the terms. If one is a corporation, the owner cannot simply make that decision alone, because corporations are not proprietorships. Also, if it were between two employees then the company does not have the right to share their information, without the consent of both parties. It's just more, "blah blah blah, I am fighting for women" empty rhetoric, rather than measurable and meaningful action. Does that make Bloomberg ok? No. Does that mean bad things didn't happen? No, nor does it make it acceptable for them to continue happening. But not everyone wants to re-live their arguments or traumas either.

  170. I am going to be honest the new California rules sound pretty ageist (as well as the economic barriers mentioned). You can have rigorous hiring, and still have young people without a degree. I suspect they will see the problems merely shift to an older age group, as it suggests an inedequacy in orientation and training. But hey, "know nothing young people" are always a good scapegoat.

  173. No David, not buying something or buying something else, that's the 'invisible hand' of the "free market". Trying to get a book banned (any book) is not. There is obviously demand for the books. Trying to get someone fired for knowing a person or having dated a person, that's not the 'free market'. I am not saying it should or shouldn't be out of print. But I am 100% refuting your half-baked explaination. This isn't even a good representative example of the 'cancel culture' that the Republicans are trying to pin everything on. At this point you're not even examining the objective merits of the counter arguments, you are simply towing the line. And as an aside, we know the 'free market' is a fallacy anyway, unregulated capitalism has been proven flawed. It has to have some regulation, just as mob justice isn't true justice. Just as Communism as instituted facilitates authoritarianism.

  178. I assumed it was referring to people who were obsessed with trump. Right or Left, labelling is just a convenient strawman argument. Be it David or Fox News, it's unproductive and is facillitating the detrimental hyper-partisanship absurdity that is irrational, narrow minded, and uncompromising.
    2
  179. I mean loosely, if you grab at the things the president says, and fox says, and take them to be whole and truthful but come away with pieces. If you were to string them together the result would be this. If you tried to break down the inaccuracies this argument was based on, you would come across like a fool to this person. As someone who would desperately search for excuses in the technicalities, meanwhile they aren't listening and don't have the background knowledge to connect the dots you set out.
    2
  180. David's take on 'cancel culture' is just willfully ignorant at this point. He deliberately creates the biggest strawman for a set of behaviours anyone can see happening, and he himself was subject to. Only this is on a much larger scale. Fox News' version of 'cancel culture' is also absurd, but I expected better from David Pakman. When a show is cancelled that is literal cancellation. But to be caused by 'cancel culture' (as people are seeing it done) the fundamental aspect is the concerted effort to tear down someone's life beyond merely their job based on objective performance measures or what is reasonably acceptable. There is a widespread trend of hate mobs trying to exact justice of their verdicts based merely on differences of race, opinion, religion, or association. In otherwords discrimination. It's one thing to say, this person is unprofessional, they shouldn't be working, or they should get training. It's another to say Chris Pratt goes to a church I don't like, I am going to harass and bully him and anyone he likes or associates with and actively campaign that he never work again, and they never work again. Even for merely not going out of your way to declare support for something a random user requested can be the trigger. It's objectively a thing, it's visible, and it is measureable. However, neither David nor Fox is reporting on it objectively. Fox is greatly over applying it and using it to suit their political views and false narratives (as Fox does). But in not wanting the appearance of giving them any credibility David is doing the same thing by exaggerating the concept and dismissing the objective truths.

    2
  183. There are some solid points in the arguments made by David, very important ones to think about. But it is still extremely important for all of us to bear in mind that every president has made pardons. It is not the pardons themselves that are the problem , rather how they are being used. Always attack exactly the problem, not the simplistic headline. Otherwise you leave your argument open to being dismissed like this.

  186.  @NEIGH6699  It's all about context, hate is hate, period, but some people prefer different words and that is ok (some are squeemish about moist, or coitus). However, if used without malicious context they are simply another adjective or noun. Context is everything, painting your face black or having a dirty face isn't inherently racist. Some dress up as coal miners... or work dirty jobs, or dress as commandos sneaking around at night. If everyone does not have the same motive/context for the action then the action itself cannot be inherently the same.

  190. I know a few people who were in... lets say at a vulnerable time in high school, where a few people (close friends) were telling them "oh, the reason you are having trouble in life is because you're a lesbian like me", "the reason you don't find any of the guys in our grade (in our small town) attractive is because you actually like woman". Now most homosexuals don't try to peer pressure their friends and those few were likely unusually low in self confidence. However, they did try being lesbians for a fair number of years before changing their minds. Does this make them bi-sexual rather than hetero or homosexual? Maybe, maybe they never were actually attracted to the same sex. At the very least they thought they were at the time. and all of them attributed their foray in part to nudging from others. There are also instances of some radical feminists (I am not joking YouTube has dozens of videos promoting this) pressuring others to discard men entirely and become lesbians for socio-political reasons. Whether these count or not is for you to decide, but we can't actually know how someone else's true preferences actually are (or were) without being them.
    2
  191. It's not the democrats people should press, but republicans (all of them). Party solidarity or not, they are still people, and they will start giving more consideration to an issue the more it is brought to their attention in a reasonable manner. Perhaps approach it at an angle of requesting another candidate to preserve the integrity of the russia investigation, should the worst be true it is not a possibility we can afford to ignore.

  195. Did I miss something? Don't insideous people try to invalidate the testimony by questioning the loyalty of anyone they disagree with? They are nationalistic and anti-immigrant... so, I am not sure if you can jump to that conclusion based off of what you have presented. Is any question of loyalty viewed as anti-semitism? I mean what if Trump was Jewish? I have to say, in this matter you may have the victim mentality from your personal biases and family history. As justified as that bias may be, I encourage you to re examine this and question if you may merely be doing what you have criticized the "radical left" for doing. If there is more too it, I will happily listen. Obviously if this is the first I am hearing about it, you know more about the topic than I. But if I am unaware, they too may not be. After all, context is king. if it wasn't intended as you interpreted it, the motivation causing insult to the Jewish people never existed.

  203. I can tell you right now, if you want a new medical system you should start from a point of greater advancement, one that the bureaucracy is impeding in other countries. Use expert systems (AI. ...not true AI, you troglodyte. A logic system built using the knowledge of experts in the medical field), as the public facing interface for general (non-emergency) medicine. Doctors are effectively troubleshooting systems. A computer can do that sort of function better than a person, since it will know all possible diagnosis at any moment (and the most up to date research). Doctors have different quality levels and make mistakes (they also may write unnecessary perscriptions for a cut of drug referral), where as an expert system gives everyone top-level care. It can even automate blood tests, do photo referencing, and check vitals. Hell even eye exams (though programming the former is much simpler). It will then give advice, issue non-controlled perscriptions, or escalate issues as necessary to real doctors. With all that preliminary stuff out of the way it will reduce time doctors spend with patients, improve access, and a provide more consistant level of care. You can even take it a step further and have one tier of caregorization and escalation online in a reliable way (not web MD). Patients can then be directed to the nearest machine or directly to a GP or even a specialist. Again, this will reduce wait times, give 24 hour access, and not impede emergency care.

  207. You have to look at this from the perspective that this is a group of former enemies that are now a part of the country. If you want to assimilate a group you have to make concessions like, giving recognition to the dead and the people who fought for them unless you want an uprising and more conflict. I suspect, most of these things were done/allowed with that in mind. A few generations down the line it's not going to matter as much, but if you start attacking the group (the regions that were a part of that) you start getting them gathering together against those attacking them. If you start heavily antagonizing people for being the children and grandchildren of _ then you are going to upset them because you're attacking their family (even if their family is deserving of criticism) and chances are, they themselves are not deserving of such vehement attacks. Even outside of the region such significant attacks on moral integrity like calling them racists merely for having a flag on their vehicle (likely because they liked dukes of hazard), they wouldn't be bothered by the label if they didn't think it was wrong to be racist. Now you have an even bigger group that starts to cluster together. The biggest issue now, is for anyone who started out as mainly a bystander to start adopting the more extreme views of those they have been pushed into a corner with. This applies to any group. Never moving past issues, only causes rise to more. One of the best examples is how hatred of and excessively punishing Germany created a path to WW2. Now in this instance, war seems absurdly unlikely. But any time a person is attacked for something they had no part in, be it a family member, a friend, or an acquaintance, it is discrimination by association. If the media didn't make a big deal of these things, or the masses didn't start labeling everyone a racist for what started as merely disapproving of vandalism, they probably could have phased a lot of these out without anyone caring (except history buffs, or the odd person who is a kkk member). Should it be phased out for unity, yes. Should it be erased from history? No. If they took statues/flags down and put them into museums, it would probably be amicable. But once you try to ban something you're making a metaphorical martyr of it, and getting upset by long irrelevant symbols, historical figures, etc. Gives those things more power than they should have over you, and more power & recognition to any splinter group that remains.
    2
  208. There is ALOT more to this than what David covered, I encourage you to look into it more. But fundamentally, I think they should all be more on top of moderation for bullying/harassment/racism, and of fake and misleading news and advertisements. However, it NEEDS to be executed with clearly defined guidelines. What is happening in practise is a lot more... at minimum questionable, and inconsistent. Because of those cases and their complete inflexibility in acknowledging error or even correcting a mistake/overstep, they are giving justification for people across the spectrum to oppose these actions. (Even if they were only one in ten or one in 100, it doesn't make the mistakes/oversteps acceptable. It shouldn't be used as an argument against the measures, only against how they are implemented. But, how they are implemented needs to be corrected).
    2
  209. This is weird. It doesn't seem like dementia.
    2
  210. Look, likely questionable trump campaign related motivations aside David, your characterization of the actions taken is completely misrepresenting things. It would be completely unacceptable to deny a group recovery aid merely because their views do not align with the government in power. THINK ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD GO! Maybe Trump denies the David pakman show funding, or refuses businesses with CEOs known to be democrats. If they had denied vaccine companies recovery funding you would be exactly on the same page as me. I get that it happens some times, people are bound to lose sight of the big picture while in all the BS that happens. But this needs clarification so it doesn't sound like you are saying the government SHOULD deny aid to groups because of opposing views.

  211. Well most people wouldn't have opted for him in the first place if there were a passable option (which was not H. Clinton).

  220. The one sxception could be national security and classified information. However, we have never seen any evidense suggesting or implying that Trump is professional or responsible in how he handles that information. So it seems very unlikely that it's just nothing and misunderstanding.

To be fair, what is mundane and annoying to you is very likely not even a thought to the average person (perhaps that may be egocentric, or perhaps they consider it an annoyance hardly worth noting). After all, it may be their first time calling-in anywhere. While I can fully understand how annoying speakerphone is and it being perfectly reasonable to turn off speakerphone, you should probably try to be a bit more understanding of callers (even fans) who make the mistake. It's going to happen, it's a consequence of inviting callers, taking that expectation and being patient instead would go a long way in earning yourself some goodwill.

But for those on average, where it's say 1 over the top story for every 10 regular ones, Fox News is the opposite. Meanwhile the extreme non-mainstream medias (left and right) are more like 30 garbage stories to 1 regular story.

  237. Alienating the other side when many are coming around is a sure-fire way to drive more people to vote for trump again. Don't go out of your way to badmouth "trumpists" or label all republicans as all being the "diehard trumpists" you are thinking about. Just stick to the facts, don't bring labels into it, definitely don't be petty and insult people. And you know as well as I that if there is any chance of convincing a person, or just making them doubt, it's by doing this. Give them the knowledge and the space to come to a conclusion, if you attack someone, they'll just cling harder to the one they had before. Right or wrong.

  238. Look I am all for preparedness, but you all need to chill with your doomsayer rhetoric (David, you especially 4:19). Yes we should all try to avoid getting sick and spreading the virus, but, IT IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE. More people die from influenza every year in Canada alone (let alone the US) than have died from corona virus.

  246. That's just racism, but everyone is misattributing cancel culture these days. Especially Fox News. But also Davidn and other news outlets by creating a straw-man argument and only focusing on the absurd assertions. This approach by both the left and right is at the core of the polarization of the country. Both sides label and stereotype the other to dismiss their valid criticisms. Which antagonizes one another and prevents finding common ground and compromise.
    2

  249. Saying, SOME are relatively minor brain injuries, could be fair. Though generally speaking, every head injury is considered an emergency (as it is kind of the fabric of your personality and root of a body's functionality). But saying, "Some have headaches, it's nothing serious." is unequivocally dismissive.

  250. Right but too many are under the wrong impression that all of those things are magical perfectly protective. it is important that people be properly informed, so that they may make appropriate decisions. For example, not to decide they will get the vaccine then going to 300 raves, but rather take the vaccine then exercise caution.

  255. This time there is no war, no substatiated animosity, and they are children. The argument that they could be spies is not going to fly. Not to mention ease of information sharing (videos, emails, social media). I highly doubt it will go unscruitinized. Also, 150 supervisors for 5000 children is completely insufficient the average inept "educated" caregiver/teacher can't/won't even catch bullying in a classroom of 20-30. Under those conditions, I would expect violence, crime, murder, possibly even rape occuring (both from abusive adults, and between children) as a result of extreme conditions and insufficient oversight.

They think everything they do is justified because it opposes republicans. Democracy needs to be fundamental. I don't care for the hypocrisy of "yeah but now we have it". Left, right, middle, or other, make sure your local, state, and federal governments outlaw gerrymandering.

  267. Look this situation wasn't handled well esp. by Trump. BUT... There are consequences to shutting down the country, both monetary, and casualties. I don't have the numbers so I can't say at what point one outweighs the other. However, it is still something we need to consider (the consequences, and deaths both direct and indirect from combatting the virus in this manner). Turning a blind eye is negligent. How could this kill people well. In the short term it won't kill many but, there will be people becoming homeless as a result of job losses, some won't recover. There are at risk individuals with mental health issues where (we all know, isolation is the worst possible thing for them) and there will be an increase in suicides as a result. Limiting access to healthcare that is independent of the virus treatment, will also cause problems/deaths. Then there's starvation risks. Again, job losses affect the ability to feed ones self as well as shelter. Not only that, not every individual has a kitchen in their dwelling (as sad or absurd as that may be), if restaraunts shut down. They just won't be eating. Not everyone has a nearby grocery store, if they can't take public transit, and restaraunts won't deliver, they may not be eating, or it's still winter and there is then an increased issue of cold related injury, illness, death, and if they are outside all the time commuting for groceries, they're increasing the Covid transmission risk. So even if people aren't losing their jobs immediately from the virus, a lack of opportunities resulting from the massive economic downturn resulting from the shutdown may mean no-new opportunities for a long time. Which means more opportunity for these issues. It is something that is extremely difficult to measure, but it is still an issue. These things are always a number's game, and failure to plan ahead could potentially cause more harm, than doing nothing. (again it's a possibility, I don't have the numbers and I am not saying we shouldn't take these distancing precautions).

  281. Pakman is very impatient with speakerphone. Though to be fair, the echo is a problem. It would be nice if he were more calm and polite about it. Probably the best response would have been to request a fix when it first presented, failing that, mute the call. Say, "hey I will answer your question, and give you a minute to turn off your speakerphone while I do that".

  282. Why isn't there a big move to sell personal protection, not weapons? If you have to make a consumption solution to appease the people, kevlar and newer composite body armors would make a direct and measurable impact on deaths by gun violence. ...Rather than a hypothetical one (that guns will disuade crime, which may very well be true for casual crime, or crimes where risk outweighs reward, but not crimes where a person must steal to survive, or has resigned themselves to death). I guess it would work against the narrative that guns aren't dangerous.

This is sadly the kind of reporting you do now, maybe you have always done. I will keep coming back from time to time, to see if you have improved or if you still can't hold a serious discussion on a topic you have already formed opinions on. You aren't like this all the time, but when you are, it's bad. You should really consider being more flexible for the sake of holding a non-anecdotal discussion and truly explore the flaws and merits of an issue.

  301. You mean like you trying to translate for him? He didn't once mention priviledge but that's your narrative so you applied it, to make him a tool to suit your preferences. The words he said criticized David for participating in the polarization of people particularly the left. But regardless I would like to hear more about his views from him, rather than postulating.
    2
  302. If he runs independently (after losing the primary) it may merely be a strategy to keep the unhappy republicans and unaligned from voting democrat.
    2
  303. Trump said he's "all for wearing masks" an obvious placation, because he has never directly asked/encouraged the public to wear masks because it runs against the narrative he was touting.

  304. If Yang can get himself out to the masses and grab enough attention, he might be able to get the 'Establishment Democrats' behind him rather than Biden. Or, if he manages to convince enough of the American middle to become a member, he could be elected that way. Does it seem likely at this point? No, not at all. But it is doable with enough money and drive. ...The other options are of course, blackmail, extortion, and bribery.

Now this guy just sounds like a "journalist" from buzzfeed opinion articles. Now I can say that the general tone on the 4chan boards is pretty aggressive, and not my thing. Just like many reddit forums. But that does not make all redditors "white nationalist, incel, man-baby, trolls".

But, No one should ever be taxed for merely recieving a gift or inheriting something. That money was already taxed when the first person earned it.

  361. David, your analogy while likely the case for some idiots is dismissive of a real issue. There are cases where coronavirus was attributed despite not being the actual cause of death. Say there was a failed surgery, and the individual who wasn't showing symptoms tested positive. Saying heart failure is the cause of death not Covid IS absurd, IF covid caused the heart failure. But in Cases where an individual is already dying having caught Covid does not in herently make it the cause of death, just like the common cold wouldn't realistically be attributed in the same case. But there are also undoubtedly cases where individuals died from the virus and the virus was not attributed. Whether or not it balances out is irrelevant, it still is important to accurately depict things that occured. Covid related vs Covid caused is an important distinction. Just as Active cases are more relevant than the cumulative case number, spoken as if it is the active case number.

  364. Wait is it worse economically "if the children and the teachers and the parents get the virus"? If a shutdown means no one is working, and opening (those aren't the only options) means everyone gets sick, you have individual people intermittently out of comission for 2 weeks at a time (at most) and 2 weeks only. Compare that to most people out of comission by shutdown or having to be home with their kids, I don't think that is worse economically. Is it worse in terms of human cost, yes, and that shouldn't be discounted, but that's not what you stated.

  385. Here's the thing about 'systemic racism' the term was chosen to be impactful, inherently abhorent, and in most cases that's making it out to be more than it is. However, when systemic decisions are intentionally planned to harm a specific group, that is racism flat out. So when someone makes a law trying to supress a vote of a certain population, that is in every situation I can imagine TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE. However, when you have societal norms, or innocuous decisions which inadvertantly affects one group more than another, that is a systemic problem that may need addressing, but it is not 'racism'. For example, you choose to give away 5 items to the first 5 people to enter your store. They all happen to be caucasian. Do they need to take them away and only give them out to the first person of each colour? Is that more equal? Is that more fair? That just makes the odds of winning dependent upon your skin colour, and that is racist. Now on the otherhand, if you decide to only provide post-secondary education to the highest scoring students but education is a known issue in a... hispanic community. 1) the education issue NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. But until then, that is unjustly favouring more wealthy and other ethnicities of citizens. So, 2) The system needs a way of balancing scores relative to their school of origin. But if the system is working properly there won't be just one ethnicity who is affected by poverty or poor education facilities, and those accomodations will be made for everyone in those situations.

  402. Even if you limit overtime you could just schedule multiple shifts... like every other business/service does (and as they likely already do).
    1
  403. I am not saying he didn't violate the terms, I don't know the situation. However, based on your descriptions of the guidelines and your events (at the beginning) I don't see a close enough parallel to say they were merely adhering to their guidelines. Now, I agree that companies have a right to enforce and control their guidelines, although, It is important they also conform to those guidelines (without exception) as written, or else those guidelines are basically meaningless. If they fail to curtail a behaviour they oppose, those guidelines should be amended (then users informed of changes, and future violators dealt with as stipulated by the terms).
    1
  404. You joke, but I bet someone has come here, in anger at what David said, and accepted this a viable rationale for responding to these criticisms.
    1
  405. Dr.Phil Is still on? I thought it was cancelled nearly two decades ago.
    1
  406. I didn't here the beginning but he did say "is not a contract to the extent that we want" while he is not eloquent it would be fair to say he wanted something more binding. Also, that does not excuse not knowing what the terms are, if that was indeed the case.
    1
  407. Oh no, they might have to ger REAL jobs.
    1
  408. This is true. But it doesn't make it better. If anything, emulating a behaviour of someone as immature as Trump makes it worse because they should know better.

  409. Yes Drumph... the greatest deals.

  410. What will happen? Either: A) Riots B) Protests C) Both

  411. 3:01 This runs counter to tariffs and pro free-trade. But all he has to do is say stuff, not have it make sense or happen.

  412. This guy looks like a news caster striaght out of the 50s, But I don't think that's a bad think. He has the appearance of a more honest american.
    1
  413. it's not just trumpists who come up with excuses and accusations. On invalid alone, you merely have to take a look at comments following the 2016 election to see the same by all kinds of people. Dumb people will be dumb and valid accusations will be valid regardless of who that person supports.
    1
  414. LOL Trump casually recommending people make propaganda part of the curriculum
    1
  415. It was sad but sort of funny but post insurrection it's disgusting.
    1
  416. David himself has been a target, though that was the campaign if a small few where as more people are on board for trying to punish people rather than merely protest them.
    1
  417. It is good in theory... but the obvious problem is people would just go on and hate rank people who said things they don't like or assume is wrong without any prior knowledge or research.
    1
  418. I'd say no to civil war, but coup attempts/uprisings/revolts, yeah easily a risk. ...But given who the president is, and how he always lands below expectations, maybe I shouldn't take that off the table.
    1
  419. "Imagine the legal work that goes on..." ...Or with google monetising videos without permission.
    1
  420. At best, a bizarre coincidence with the timing of the news that there are missing emails. At worst, he was party to the instigation, and somewhere in the middle... when he mentioned it, the russian hackers thought it would be a good move. Now, any of these are possible, but without proof I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
    1
  421. That's absurd. Those aren't even kevlar.
    1
  422. I think personal attacks and exaggeration of insignificant things like speech foibles really dampen the reputability of this show. Luckily no more trump soon so hopefully all the bad habits go with him.

  423. Things may not get resolved with awareness, but they never will be without.

  424. I can't believe so many countries just sit idly.
    1
  425. I don't know about this fellow, he suggested reaganomics and laissez-faire economics, but those methods have repeatedly proven themselves to be ineffective when applied in real life. It seems almost as if he is trying to perpetuate his political agenda or at least what was touted as correct (the American stereotype if you will) while he was growing up. No economist I have met, conservative or liberal has shared his beliefs. They did promote (depending on the approach taken) that recessionary spending, and targeted subsidies are effective at stimulating growth. However, they did not say anything about a need to cut regulations. In many cases regulations create new areas of business. Also it is commonly accepted in innovation theory that "constraints breed creativity".
    1
  426. Before even watching, the title sounds like an obviously terrible idea. There is a reason Canadian Banks faired far better during the 2007-2012 recession. *Well the GOP did point out that the Democrats were largely funded by the biggest unethical players in the derivatives market. My guess is both parties get funding from banks.

  427. YongYea is staying monetized by redacting all text and resorted to mumbling. If a channel can't cover gaming news. Obviously there is an issue.

  428. I have a feeling we are going to see another president pass away while in office.
    1
  429. This (recent content) is not the sort of content I would like to be watching from you. I imaging there are many others, if what you are doing is working, great, but you may want to consider re-balancing where you air which content. Even if you have short-term growth, I believe you will have a significant long-term decline from a lack of new viewers.

  430. "puny humans, me president"

  431. The thumbnail is apt, trump blinders. (Yes I know she can actually see through them).
    1
  432. "Promises to donors" Basically sums up corruption in the current democratic system.
    1
  433. In terms of occupancy rate, it isn't just a matter of different times of year or month? You could achieve that non-fraudulently (dishonestly perhaps still) by taking by taking figures from move in vs move out days, perhaps even different times of the same day on a move out date (if they have stipulated days to end the lease).

  434. Those pat downs and scanners are unacceptable

  439. You just know the next former president is going to ridicule all of the following presidents. (you know, that thing they claim isn't ok)
    1
  440. Called it, You went from disgust with the word, to using it often in derision of the term, now you've just adopted it. This is why we must simply pretend dumb words don't exist.
    1
  441. Again, discussing pronunciation via text is extremely misleading. Fundamentally people forget that even the reference word they use is often pronounced differently by those reading. So if you are an american learning the phonetic alphabet using a UK chart (or vice versa), you will end up mislearning the phonetic alphabet.
    1
  442. The US hasn't exactly been seen in the bet light leading up to this presidency, so don't expect it to change international perspectives any time soon. That said, an improvement is an improvement and that's not nothing.

  446. You mean the man calling for other people to be jailed all the time?

  447. If time has proven anything it's the incompleteness of prior views. Which will almost certainly continue in the future.
    1
  448. Sanders likely would have handled TrumP 'bedda'.
    1
  449. hmmm Trump assumes everyone operates as he would. "It embarasses me indirectly, and therefore I must retaliate".
    1
  450. Trump supporters be like, "Small government! Safety nets are socialism! Lazy do nothings are dragging us down! I want lower taxes!" But also, they just have been fired and need money. Too bad lessons largely will not be had.
    1
  451. .................. That's the sound of my surprise.
    1
  452. There's the "alt-right" then everyone right of extreme left who gets labeled as "alt-right" when they don't agree with 100% of everything said. Which is what David is called sometimes.
    1
  453. I can just see him walking up and 'beep boop'-ing machines while they're doing a tour.
    1
  454. It is annoying when they act like a tax rate ignores how the tax works. Still this proposal seems a little unjust. If they want to tax them more they should do it strategically and tax actions that aren't economically beneficial that only affect the rich rather than singling them out. But it sounds like it is already high.
    1
  455. So many people are quick to rightly criticize trump for name calling and childish nicknames. But are just as quick to do the same. We should strive to be better and more mature than the former president.

  456. Any Canadian, left or right, who would stoop to attacking/bullying/harassing, or being bigoted others in any form for the sake of "bettering canada", is not the best of us.

  457. whyyyyyyy

  458. I think he should, but there is something there the right will say, that may cost his victory. "Trump is perfectly healthy, why vote for an old man with a weak heart"
    1
  459. What? Giving police training in de-escalation, not promoting aggressive defense and providing backup to safely detain individuals so they themselves feel safe without immediately resorting to murder or battery? Paying more to have rigorous hiring practices that weed OUT the individuals who are there for power and to abuse it, and instead hire people of good character and intelligence? The world thinks you are a moronic country (not individuals, but as a nation) for having to suggest this like it isn't intuitive.
    1
  460. Here's my theory: Georgia has the results, and had them for a while. They're just trying to avoid being the first one to flip to Biden on a narrow margin and give him the win with that slim margin.
    1
  461. oh sure... lost in the mail. They didn't take precautions with sensitive information?
    1
  462. Guilt by association and discrimination by association is not something you should be doing David, regardless of if she is a contemptable person as well, it isn't right. ....Now if she sent them there, that's a different story. It's also a bit hypocritical as the other day you just condemned the same thing being done by republicans against someone you support.
    1
  463. Where would I get my news... probably still google, but where would I get informed commentary on the news?
    1
  464. Title 2 had some flaws, but if states are only pushing to enforce those rules you mentioned it is very difficult to argue in support of Telecom's unrestricted freedom to do business as they see fit. Specificially, loss of net neutrality inherently limits every other company's ability to do business (...unless they pay extra, which adds undue influence onto their decision to do so. At that point it's not much of a free market is it?).
    1
  465. This doesn't surprise me, my thought was that on balance, if there was fraud it would be lean in trumps favour (as we have seen with a few cases).
    1
  466. People obsess over 'first's too much it gives more significance than merited at this point. It's just a derivative of a derivative, and keeps going.

  470. So would the system be better if voting were anonymous?

  471. When someone uses a term like marxist or a concept created by a jewish individual, it does not inherently mean they are being anti-semitic. Jewish individuals have contributed greatly to society, science, philosophy, etc. over the years. Moreover, Jews have participated in society as we all have. Having relation to a thing that is percieved as bad does not actually make everyone with something in common with those specific individuals, bad.
    1
  472. They can apply literary license to use wichever phrase but typically cultural imperialism is more appropriate. Regardless, say you convince me the term marxism should never be used. That entire discussion doesn't address the issue that often the behaviour being called marxism should be re-evaluated. Trying to sway people to share your beliefs is fine, but attempting to force others to adopt your perspective impedes free society and cultural exchange. It doesn't matter if you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, a Nazi, or some sort of hypocritical progessive extremist trying to "fix asia, because they can't understand how terrible they are".

  473. ...Shouldn't biden drop out for Buttigieg?

  474. I know we all agree the term "triggered" in this use is stupid. But can we just agree to not perpetuate it. Even doing so sarcastically has increased it's usage.

  475. We're certain this isn't fake?

  476. I think you will see, social welfare, tax evasion (legal or illegal), Alimony evasion, and maybe a decline in earnings leading up to the election campaign.

  477. I just don't think we should be having a parade(s) with families focusing on sexuality. Nor do I think that anyone should spend a month pandering for empty marketing reasons.

  478. Interesting. Koubachar's deviation is almost directly proportional to Gabbard's, and Steyer's is similarly proportional to booker's.
    1
  479. So he's speaking at campaign events rather than working as president? And yet has the gall to say he can choose a supreme court justice because he was elected to be president until the next election? It's just hypocrisy on hypocrisy and a gross misuse of taxpayer money and government facilities.
    1
  480. Yes... consolodating all of the places, so you have MORE virus exposure, and wait times.

  483. WAIT! ....let me guess: "I am the best reader, the greatest reader, people say I am the most amazing reader. Some even say I am a genius at reading."
    1
  484. nope it was just: "I read alot. I read all the time. They like to say I don't read, but I read a lot. I am a very good reader. I comprehend extrordinarily well, probably better than anyone you've interviewed in a loong time. I read a lot...".

  485. Not everyone in the party supports trump (however few) also recall most of them have shifting loyalties as the GOP members only supported trump after it became clear he was winning.

  487. Isn't fox 'fake' news though? Since they represent opinion as fact?
    1
  488. They should do it, they bring in the entirety of business for YouTube but do not get any protections or guarantees. If YouTube wants to be a platform not an employer they need to maintain a balanced and open platform... and they don't. If you consider content creators as contractors YouTube doesn't even adhere to their agreements and changes them as they feel. Which is breach of contract. there is exchange of money, there is legally a contract.
    1
  489. You mean like how Trump tanked it repeatedly between his "great for America" tariffs; renegotiating NAFTA; making threats to allies; and almost starting a war with a few 'tense peace' countries?
    1
  490. That's not the only thing there is also the labelling and breakdown of rational discussion, which has lead to more and more people polarizing when they would normally not support trump. It is the very definition of antagonizing someone.
    1
  491. Does He even talk about the October surprise in this?
    1
  492. LMAO this article "US has highest mortality rate". Of course! if you don't test you will only find out what it is if they they die. Test your damn citizens man. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2020/03/06/caught-by-surprise-lack-of-coronavirus-testing-gives-us-highest-reported-mortality-rate/#4296016d5760

  493. The retweets were probably his team. You think he found all those? It's an effective way to spread his message. Democrats don't spam their followers, but if they did their views would reach more people.
    1
  494. Interesting.
    1
  495. Trump is like Reagan in that before he was elected people would be surprised about hearing who becones president in the future.
    1
  496. because no one was shouting? or because nothing of great importance was addressed?
    1
  497. Warren would be OK. She seems reasonably capable. Policies aside, hearing Sanders on Joe Rogan, he seems like a much better option. That said, Yang is younger and is better at not sounding extreme in debates. So he would probably be my overall pick. Biden, reputation wise could have had this in the bag, and probably would have won in 2016. However, he just does not campaign well, or exude competence.
    1
  498. Unless he makes a really strong showing in the coming months, I cannot see Biden being elected as president.
    1
  499. I knew this was coming, because people always complain about taxes, and he cut so much revenue he thought "Damn! Teriffs are a good way to make quick money, and it only costs foreigners money." Not seeing/caring that net it costs more for the American consumer/taxpayer. More over, how it will likely cost businesses more than taxes would by hugely taxing inputs, rather than a portion of profits.
    1
  500. I wonder if it's fake bait, sooner or later they're going to intentionally 'leak' something false and use the media blowing up to condemn the media and discredit past stories. "see! Trump was right all along!! Fake news! Fake news!" Otherwise, that is really dumb but I guess he is desperate to make money to compensate for the ballooning debt.
    1
  501. They may just be hiding them to embarass the Democrats if there is nothing in them.
    1
  502. Is this a thing? or are we just assuming it is because of how Warren framed it? She isn't exactly the most trustworthy person. Also, if you are going to imply support for victims of those situations, equating embarassment over one's own mistakes, or their company's, is a bit delegitimizing of actual harassment (sexual or otherwise).
    1
  503. She seemed too rude to be a good president.
    1
  504. I don't think we should be adding to the rhetoric. "Trump, at this point, can only win BY preventing people from voting". Based on polls, provided they are accurate and indicative, yes it is highly likely. But things can still happen, and we don't need a legitimate win being questioned by everyone who didn't vote Trump (should the worse outcome occur for the world and economy).
    1
  505. This is why we can't just focus on one group, no one should be treated this way, and we should allow or ignore anyone being treated this way.
    1
  506. only now?
    1
  507. LOL the attacks/fear of Burnie begin again! His colleagues may not like him because he has integrity and sticks to his beliefs. That makes them look bad, and means he won't just play the game at their convenience. I am not big on his policies, but he is more honest and reliable than most of them. (Team Yang, incase you think I am just a Burnie follower)
    1
  508. In all of the garbage you may have forgotten Trump thinks he's great at business and that he can sue everybody for everything, and makes such threats (empty and legitimate) all the time. BTW David you may want to reign it it a bit, remember you say you talk about objective facts, not projecting personal opinion or haphazardly blending opinion with fact. Stating that the president is sick, is in contradiction to your past assertions that you won't make unconfirmed statements. Is he likely ill? Perhaps. Is he certainly ill? We don't know.
    1
  509. "She should be unemployable" *in a position requiring honesty or integrity. Anything in excess would be much the same as when extreme individuals tried to get Packman banned. She can bag groceries, work construction, serve tables, just fine. Just punishments, no more no less.
    1
  510. Remember also that 33% of a smaller number is a much less significant value. *nvm David is on it.

  511. WTF man

  512. bigly is such a stupid word.

  513. It's probably the DNC pushing their identity politics beyond quality... oh you just said that as typing.
    1
  514. No that's stupid, If you say fact checking is censorship you lose all arguments imediately as you operate on a reality without foundation. (That said, factual speech enforcing however IS censorship. Commenting on the accuracy of speech is their freedom of speech and informative. You can debate whether or not factual speech enforcing would be bad. I am not for speech control.)
    1
  515. Well, they unfortunately demonstrated in 2016 that they aren't above underhanded tactics. So right or not, it is at least understandable.
    1
  516. I don't the more weapons the more likely to cause a cascade of violence. For many their getting a gun for 'defense' is extreme hypocrisy.
    1
  517. This is why I was telling people not to try to say "look! racism, compare riots A to Riot B". They'll just use that to dismiss Riot B (because they were already trying to paint it as a undercover 'antifa/blm' thing) Even though also there is an issue of it not being a valid argument as the situations and location are different. Also, even merely, if they didn't like riot A's handling and demanded change, then complaining about the improvement is the height of hypocrisy, which in turn harms the cause. But a constructive analysis of the two, once things move forward a bit would undoubtedly be beneficial to improve the response to civil disorder.
    1
  518. Yes 'cancel culture'. The right or left is anti-cspitalist. It's one thing to make a complaint or not buy something, it's another to continue attacking it until people do what a loud minority wants and then continue more until everything and everyone associated has been bannished.
    1
  519. We should also acknowledge just how poorly peru is doing with nearly double the per-capita death rate of the USA. Belgium is also doing exceedingly poorly. That said, there could be very significant differences depending on reporting practices, both on the US under-reporting or the others over attributing.
    1
  520. Also yes, people eat up everything he says, as there are people who eat up everything the DNC says even if overtly misleading. Perhaps it is merely the knowledge of the lies on the opposite side that drive them to cling more toward the disinformation of their own side without bothering to question it.
    1
  521. While I agree about your pounts on hypocrisy, you are making a strawman argument and trying to portray their protests as being conflicting. They want votes counted where in person votes have yet to be counted, and don't want the counting of mail in ballots where they are likely to lose ground. Sure there is some intrinsic hypocrisy in their stances leading up to their conclusions and on countless other topics, but their direct actions are not as contradictory as you are trying to make them sound.
    1
  522. Well maybe, just maybe, if you didn't make a necesity profit driven, you wouldn't have people getting taken advantage of at all. Thanks for supporting public health care Trump.

  527.  @Ocasio-CortezPrez  Probaly still do, we just don't hear from them to much these days since everyone else was busy shouting and they just left the room because of the insanity. Sooner or later they're going to notice the room is on fire and come back and start mending bridges. I hope it's sooner.
    1
  528. The DNC foolishly doesn't realize allowing Bloomberg will only take away from their favoured ponies (B,B, & K) rather than Sanders. I suspect we will end up with Biden dropping out, then the "establishment" vote as you say, being split fairly equally between Michael, Pete, and Amy. Leaving Burnie and Elizabeth more or less unchanged.
    1
  529. I am really curious how many parallels there are between this and left wing extremism. Because as we all know extremism shares more with other extremesim than it does with the side it claims to be on. Many of these things sound similar: People who were unhappy with their personal lives then found status and approval from the extreme behaviour and/or abuses of the system. All forming their own cults of sorts.
    1
  530. This is more petty... What we need instead is a superclip of every single issue that would have been a major scandal for every other president, lest the future forget.

  531. But this also happened when he started leading in the primaries 2015=2016

  532. severity vs immunity

  533. I mean, his pupils are a little dialated for someone with a light in their face. But not you know, in a stoned out of his mind sort of way, or out of the normal realm, differen't people have different pupilary responses to the same lighting conditions. Maybe he is just tired and on perscription medication?
    1
  534. I find it hilariously illogical for so many self-ascribed 'confederate' supporters these days to like Trump. He is a UNION president, he's not going to support splitting the country. (Not for unity sake, but because it would be an afront to his ego.)
    1
  535. lol I was concerned for a moment. Why would you come here?
    1
  536. Maybe the teleprompter was just slow. Maybe he was trying to sound more presidential... but is inept. Maybe he was merely looking into the sun. This is hardly his most word salad speecj.
    1
  537. I hope he tries it... and fails. Even if not, Biden's memes are far better.

  538. Your new intro sequence seems like some sort of sitcom opener. Or maybe the opening text for an ad. "Smooth and refreshing taste"

  540. Of course he is, there is an actually successful guy.

  541. The only thing more ridiculous is that certain people will buy that it's his doing, and him who deserves appreciation for it.
    1
  542. I mean, with regard to church alone, Trump is a walking afront to Christianity. Any devout Christian should have dismissed the man out of hand, rather than just ditching their values and morals just to opt for 'conservatism'.

  544. The man said the sign was very disturbing, what more do you want? Him to throw a table, IT IS very disturbing. Who is the person holding it? Is it it a genuine sign? Is it hoping ot incite violence and unrest? Is it a shared belief of those there? Is it someone trying to make the protesters look bad? Or, is it merely some kind of peverse joke?

  552. This is how a conversation goes with most of his supporters. Oddly it seems they are more flexible when several people they respect say no, then give them details on what actually happened.

  553. As a thought exercise. Would you say the same if it was a person spouting something you really didn't agree with, and there was a crowd of people shouting things at them, even being violent occasionally?

  554. There are misrepresentations through the reporting in both directions. However, in the US the more "conservative" states, seem to have more deliberate misconstruances.

  558. So... did he pay these women to sleep with him? I mean, no one would probably admit to that because prostitution is a crime, but I just can't see him 'charming their pants off'....as it were.

  559. So, If that's his stance now, what justification does he have for taking no measures to protect the electoral process?

  563. If they strive to change I don't see why not... Though quitting is not the same. However, if someone was actively subversive for the betterment of the country or the world, then It could be argued they played an important role for society, because had they left at the start would their successor have done the same? Could they in good conscience leave?

  564. First off, innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. Secondly, everything David says.
    1
  565. This sounds like it may be a gross misrepresentation of the motivation for the air strike. Perhaps they were eliminating a threat to improve stability in the region. Yes that could lead to more fighting, but it also may lead to greater safety. We don't know, we weren't briefed. But if troops are in a combat zone combat will occur. You can argue for having them leave, you can argue for having them stay until things are calm, but to say they must merely stand and be shot would be ridiculous (were that the case). However, if it wasn't for strategic reasons, if it were merely policy, that is indeed stupid.
    1
  566. The methodologies in the polls are usually ok... with the exception of when and where polls are done. Those are almost universally a significant source of bias. But it should still be reasonable to say both candidates are close.

  570. Look I am for better gun regulations but trust me when I say, at this point. ANY registration would be a waste of money. ...Unless, maybe you register new as purchased guns and slowly buy back un-registered weapons. Still the effect will be negligible on safety and crime. But, it would be the most cost effective method.

  572. You are definitely allowing your biases to compromise your ability to objectively evaluate this study. Based on what you said, those searches are grouped together, not looked at in isolation. What if, they merely compared certain phrases in how the question was asked, perhaps in other parts of the country people asked using different terms. Yes there are other possible explanations for the correlation, Age, health (last I recalled, obesity was a significant cause of erectile dysfunction), the demographics of rural america have a fairly high rate of both of those. Then there is also a lack of access to doctors the more rural the population (which leads more people to google). Lets say for a moment they do have smaller penises in that area, is there an environmental factor? Is the demographic have significant ancestry from areas with historically smaller genitals? This is a reach, but a possibility, are there more dissatisfied women searching for ways to make their husbands more impressive, due to a inflated perception of what their lives/husbands should be?

    1
  581. We're all talking speculation, until someone shows me the numbers of deaths directly caused by the virus, and directly or even likely by the shutdown and restrictions. I can't just say one is 'OBVIOUSLY' more or less significant. I mean once the annual numbers are released then we could at least get some indication of what's what. (i.e. 2019 vs 2020 less corona virus deaths). If that number is the same, then even if many people died as a result of the steps taken, the number is insubstantial. But if 2019 less (2020 less covid-19 deaths) is greater or even close to equivalent to the number of deaths caused by corona virus, we really need to examine that and find better ways to approach shutdowns. But at the end of the day, most countries had an appalling response. Not even "not doing enough" but not doing the right things, not taking action fast enough, taking too much action in the wrong way making things worse, fumbling the responses they were doing, etc.

  589. True they are abusing an issue for political gain and almost entirely misapplying it (and trying to make the first amendment synonymous with consequences). But 'cancel culture' it is a real trend of mob justice and as someone who was subject of a much lesser campaign than those seen in this last year-ish, you shouldn't be dismissive of the issue itself just because it aligns with your political preferences today. 'Cancel culture' is a concern the right and many in the middle and left have, but not accepting it and clearly separating the issue from their impaired logic, will give them more legitimacy than they should have. As does any time one ignores the concerns of another but the other side address them in bad faith. They are seen as "at least addressing it"

  592. A second summit, yes. Progress through dimplomacy can only be achieved by actually having discussion. However, a summit with Trump is like smoking at a gas station.

  596. The stock market is only doing well (without regard to the virus) because he is on the way out. The stability is increasing because there's one less incompetent wild card who may suddenly cause stocks to crash (as he did repeatedly, especially in 2018).

    1
  600. Yeah but... there are so many other reasons this should happen.
    1
  601. Unfortunately this really serves to validate both sides. The pro-police who say, people are vilifying individual police officers often undeservedly, and then still expecting the officers to come to their aid. And it gives the anti-police extreme one more justification for their crusade and discrimination against all officers. Now. I think it's the responsibility of everyone there to get over themselves and recognize something that is going too far, and deal with it appropriately (for the officers it's to do their job no matter what, or quit their job). The same goes for protesters when they were seeing looting, violence, etc. But at the end of the day, short clips typically manipulate people by only allowing enough information to make your initial judgements. You always have to question what went on before, and after, and if it was orchestrated. Because it seems like everyone wants to be some sensationalist these days, and it's obscuring the real issues.

  602. I would have kicked her off the air and covered the story that the Whitehouse is refusing to acknowledge concerns, or provide any specific information to refute the claims.

  603. Answer Trumps questions for the week, should be easy answers but might take a while to collect.
    1
  604. Some of the people in the left leaning media did conflate travel restrictions period to xenophobic/racist/fearmongering. But the only time that would be the case is if it only applied to China when other countries had outbreaks, or if the ban applied to China not merely the outbreak and buffer zones, when it was still somewhat contained in China. Which was well before ANY action was taken (even in Canada), despite travel localized restrictions and mandatory travel quarantine for travelers (originating and traveling through outbreak areas) being the most important, appropriate, and obvious response.
    1
  605. Whenever there is a leak or whistleblower, someone always says, "oh they're just some fraud from when Obama was in". Do they really think trump kept anyone? and if he was a genius wouldn't he have gotten rid of any who remained any of the last 100 times it's been an issue... or predicted the problem before hand? Some people have integrity and abide by the rules of their station, rather than just blindly accepting deity Trump and thinking he can do no wrong... but if he does it's fine, because deity Trump has their best interests at heart... except when he doesn't, but that's ok because he's a genius businessman and he's just playing the game better. (but they hop right over, even if he's playing the game better he's still doing them wrong... only more wrong and getting away without their backlash better).

  607. Everyone globally is affected by American politics, we see it on our tv channels (it is even embedded in films we ingest, because they are made there), and it is absurd, so of course we are intrigued. (More Canada, Russia, China, Japan and the UK than Argentina)
    1
  608. If biden loses it will be for two reasons immediate reasons and one more more fundamental reason. 1 how the riots were largely ignored or supported by protesters early on, and the way people started crucifying eachother over semantics. 2 The California governor. 3 The democratic party leadership is garbage and they once again pushed their preferred candidate rather than the one people wanted or the best candidate.

  609. in public, I bet some sneaky shots through the whitehouse windows might reveal other things.

  610. It is Burnie's fault that he did so well that she and the DNC felt they had to sabotage him.
    1
  611. The man constantly shows disdain for his voters, (like the family in Schitt's Creek, to the rural townspeople in season 1) and yet they somehow disregard the notion that he scoffs at them as individuals. Every single comment in isolation shows his feelings, but together just show him to be a very prententious individual.

  615. really really weird... Maybe they did something hugely embarrassing during the case that he agreed to keep silent about? Or they made a procedural error and the case had to be thrown out?

  616. It's not cowardly but, someone could reasonably argue that it is complacent, or lazy (in that because you are leaving you are avoiding the effort of solving a problem that you know to exist). Still, people come and go all the time, if you want to live somewhere else go live somewhere else. You have the right to choose where you live and where is or is not worth your efforts.

  617. oh he did after everyone went to bed did he?

  618. I mean... that may be the biggest factor, neither you nor I can prove otherwise. And without any data, suggesting one or the other is just that... a possibility.

  627. *typo

  628. There's another terrible campaign strategy right now, perhaps it is even worse. As Brainlet (Shoe0nhead) pointed out, stereotyping, labeling and attacking Sanders' supporters (burnie bros), IS going to make most of them do ANYTHING BUT vote for another democrat candidate, should Sanders lose. It really ties into and stems from the new trends and culture of labelling to create strawmen and dismiss any oposing argument. But it is foolish, attacking someone doesn't convince them to see your perspective. You see it with Rep/dem, you see it with games, people on twitter who disagree are all made out to be "trolls" (which doesn't even have a solid definition anymore), and you even see it with films of all things. Some are attacking people for not wanting to see a movie, it's ridiculous, a movie isn't owed your money (unless you snuck in to watch it, that's theft). But I digress.

  633. now if you heard about as many people getting fined or going to jail for threats that would be informative and dissuassive

  637.  @saltking2715  If you follow on twitter it's just become their mentality if this is this and this was 'cancelled', this is vaguely similar so this must also be. It's really not far fetched when there are thousands of people roaming the internet someone is bound to complain about something. Only now the mob os accustomed to jumping in on attacks even if they aren't all that logical or grounded.
    1
  638.  @mattwong5403  That doesn't make the potato head thing less absurd, it just makes Ted Cruz an even bigger fool.

  639. Shortly after, most of the hard core supporters in office will do the same after the public turns their collective wrath on him. Then after decades of embarassment, documentaries, and illegalities come out Trump supporters will awkwardly avoid talking whenever the topic is brought up, in hopes they aren't ridiculed.
    1
  640. Trump tells jokes... but they are very obvious jokes. STILL, you need to ask him "are you joking?" every time he makes a statement! Then he, nor the gullibles who believe him, can use the tired and absurd "oh he was joking".
    1
  641. You really need to spend more time on what "92% effective" actually means, you commented on it once last year. But so many people think it means there's only a 8% chance of getting the virus. Ignorance is ignorance and it needs to be dealt with if we don't want people making poor decisions.
    1
  642. Even if as a joke, can we please stop this pointless alpha/beta commentary? Addressing it only increases it's usage and eventually leads to adoption by both the cynical and the earnest.

  643. I forgot the collapse of the housing bubble/derivatives crisis was 10 years ago.
    1
  644. People need to go back to calling other people. But since that isn't happening people have to text constantly, which means if they want an answer about where they are going they need to check a reply or possibly even send another. Just F@#%ing call people for 2 min and save hours of back and forth.

  645. This is a little questionable in terms of their app store fairness. Think about how it would be if a web browser blocked scientific research websites. It's very similar.

  651. Probably something to do with their profiteering Ad campaigns.

  652. That would be a win in that neither party would have a lot of support. It would be a win that there would be a 3rd party (even if terrible). And it would be a win because the existence of another party would demonstrate the possibility of other parties and encourage their establishment.

  687. I shudder to think how the content of textbooks might be changed during Trump's tenure. It would not surprise me if they were pushing a biased course load (not just about education on subjects of concern) but actual misleading information, aimed to create zealots in the younger generations (now that term is more extreme than I want but, it conveys the concept).
    1
  688. You have to start from the bottom, as well as the top. You can't teach and applaud an ideocentric ideology then be surprised at the number of people who are apathetic to the suffering of others. But you also need to root out the issues in the system that facillitate (directly or indirectly) these behaviours.

  694. Look if you're going to shut things down, you need to do it completely for the minimum ammount of time. But things weren't handled well pre-lockdown so you can hardly expect a rational response. i.e. Doing 80% of a lockdown to get a 50% benefit for 3 months is less logical than a 98% shutdown for 3 weeks.

  707. I think a 3 term max would be a better to produce long-term improvements. If people find it's not going the way they like, they can end it early.

  711. Can congress call for a referrendum on statehood? It seems the appropriate way to bring new governments within the state.

  712. This is why politics do not belong in the workplace, and the workplace does not belong off hours.

  713. If Hillary wants Biden to win she probably shouldn't have made any public appearances. Now the trump supporters can just bad mouth her to hurt the democratic party rather than the nominee.
    1
  714. ...Wait what are the demographics of the republican party again?
    1
  715. True. But on the otherhand, with <10 cases in most provinces (2 with <50, and 2 with <100) it is probably on the overly cautious side in some places. Which is better than the alternative... to an extent. As with everything, you can sometimes cause more damage in over-reacting than not reacting at all. Where exactly that point lies here I have no idea. With Canada, having started testing immediately, and not having the US healthcare system, it is a bit misleading to judge it by the same standards as European countries. Canada has magnitudes lower population density, so 200 for the country isn't the same as 200 for Greece. In that sense the global map/stats are a bit misleading.
    1
  716. Title seems petty and petulant. (Not that the presidents actions/behaviours are better. But you have the maturity to take the high road and lead by example)
    1
  717. It doesn't make sense even from a conservative view, it makes money for one sector (telecommunications) meanwhile hindering every single other industry. Especially small business and start-ups. But hey, America isn't all about free enterprise and the entrepreneurial spirit right?
    1
  718. Even if he says he will now, that has no guarantee he won't try to promote riots or coup attempts until then. He is still a major threat to the country until he is out of office and away from every platform giving him a voice. ...Even then he is a threat, only slightly more contained.
    1
  719. He said it made sense at the time, I hope it was merely a concession so the trump supporters and Republicans actually hear what he has to say, and do not immediately dismiss it. (Which will happen to some extent regardless).
    1
  720. 8:05 Did trump say "this horrible jyna virus"??
    1
  721. So is trump doing the tax cuts and the stimulus he promised after the elections?
    1
  722. Good for you, it wasn't nothing to build the show to what it is. As long as you are still trying there is a chance to achieve your goals (especially if you put in extra effort), but a desired outcome will almost certainly never happen if you do not. Just remember, you never have no impact, merely existing affects the world. It's almost always difficult to see the effects of your actions on other people. Largely because the impact may not take the exact form you planned, it may result in small changes to subconscious behaviours, and it may not even occur until years down the line.

  723. What is RINO? Republican I.... N..... O.....

  724. Lost me at "never work again". As a lawyer, or government official, sure his conduct is unbecoming. But in any other position where professional conduct is monitored and enforced. I see no issue hiring them if someone wants to gamble on the work ethic of people you say this about. This concept of destroying the lives of people you and I disagree with and find reprehensible, is petty and vengeful.
    1
  725. No David, there is still a risk. You yourself said it was over several times already, and that "no matter what" biden will take office. That is only true if the most extreme does not happen. So we must all be diligent in ensuring that doesn't come to be.

  726. But seriously if they were trying to reduce smoking, WHY did they decide to allow vaping With little to no restrictions or checks.

    1
  733. It is a fair question in that we all NEED a clear definition of what constitutes domestic terrorism. But the implied statements are what are largely frivolous. Seriously though, this kind of thing cannot be subjective, it must be absolute, and applied universally. We can't have the next president stomping down and committing mass murder at a peaceful protest for... the amazon rainforest (or anything else),
    1
  734. didn't we hear about this way back when his hotel/casino failures were in the popular news?
    1
  735. Its not just Republicans, many Democrats as well. Politicians in sum need to be reigned in and largely replaced with people if vastly greater integrity.
    1
  736. To be fair, when the mask producers are making masks at max capacity you will pay more to expant that capacity, or fund a newcompany to start making them. However, that is not even what happened here.

  738. David your titles are getting to the point of Buzzfeed level clickbait. 'Explodes' is very hyperbolic. 'URGENT trump rally', 'DISASTER'. Please don't feed into the terrible journalistic practices degrading journalism.
    1
  739. Political positions should simply have capacity evaluated, no age restrictions at all. Also, a general health exam for key positions (you need to be able to handle extreme stress without dying in the event of an emergency).
    1
  740. It's not really "so called" federal interference, it is federal interference. Only the regulations have a net positive impact on the public and a net negative on companies. Come on David you need to work on this. Your hyperbole is not what we want out of your reporting and you were just called out for this the other day. These small inaccuracies can quickly stack up to misrepresent a story.
    1
  741. You are proving it isn't just 'the free market' But I agree they are hypocrites as is anyone who complained about that but support this. WE are complaining about both because this BS trend needs to stop! on Both left and right extremes.
    1
  742. A small step, but a step none the less.
    1
  743. "Freedom of thought is important! ...We're removing more content we don't like"

  745. "Who would this benefit?" "The president of the United States Donald J. Trump"

  746. intro reminds me of The Good Place can someone please make David a better one? More epic, more professional, maybe even more news-like
    1
  747. Ah yes! So if there were a Japanese candidate they would be a shoe-in.
    1
  748. If the results aren't in, people have to wait at home and marinate in it. So they probably will have time to think while they sit in uncertainty and won't have cause to skip good sense and riot tonight... I hope. But the bad actors may still try to incite unrest.
    1
  749. I guess you were wrong, he didn't slink off into the nothing. (unfortunately)
    1
  750. As with everything there will be a lot of factors. Which is (or are) the main one(s) is the real question. Factors that may affect the death toll: -The at risk patients who were going to die, may have largely passed already -Elder care facilities are now secure, (unlike before when they were secure but were still experiencing an outbreak). -The ones David mentioned -I know there are more possibilities, what are your thoughts?
    1
  751. That statement doesn't say much. Like saying, "More people who die are Democrats".
    1
  752. 1. The people who get arrested at protests are largely the ones too slow to get away. Instigators disappear into the crowd. 2. More were arrested early on, when more people were involved and arrests were less discriminant.
    1
  753. I think these are better when David just picks a few out beforehand then answers the questions as He has summarized.
    1
  754. Good, this is ridiculous.

  755. #4 so far... 5 is good on the additions, but I prefer the original soundbite to be chopped into tiny pieces because it is terrible.
    1
  756. Does that mean the president has gotten kidnapped or ran away when no one was looking?
    1
  757. Also no, no opt out. People may see it as an annoyance, but if it is used for early warning emergency alerts that annoyance isn't worth their lives.

  760. I mean, so much is backwards and obviously exploitable in the US, but this seems highly illegal.
    1
  761. The biggest problem for politics and economics, is the public is almost never given the full arguments for the issue. They hear one thing, and build all their assumptions on that.
    1
  762. There is some truth to what Bolton said. Technicalities of labeling the conflict aside, any government action is a series of decisions. One can only extend blame so far. Hold him accountable to his part, but no more and no less. If some general decides to commit attrocities, that falls almost entirely on the general themselves, a little on the subordinates who capitulated, and a little on the people who promoted the person.
    1
  763. If you are going to make valid criticisms of Trump encouraging violence, I don't think you should be promoting the normalcy of punching or slapping someone for saying things they don't like. Bad behaviour is bad behaviour, and as you say time and time again. The solution is voting, and getting everyone you know to vote.

  764. Wants to take over the family business?

  765. If you are a lawyer, of course you will make every legal argument you can. Regardless of whether racism was involved, police should not be so quick to murder people in the US.
    1
  766. ...that may tear the Republican party apart.
    1
  767. When the fraudster admits it's fraud lol
    1
  768. Strategically it may be their best course of action. Take the reality of the ununified party (and consequences) as a given, then later as people stop caring about trump they can feed people back into the main republican party. But really the 2 party system needs to crumble if the country wants to get things done and better represent the people.
    1
  769. That's just because many of the former supporters are now devout cultists.
    1
  770. To quote the republicans... Shouldn't the elections decide it? (my opinion is and was no. But if that is the precedent)

  774. Who is even to say that it is... whoever Hope Hicks is.
    1
  775. Of course it is how you have to cope (if you just want to perpetuate racism, but flip the scales). For example, don't you know that women can discriminate against, objectify, silence, and dehumanize males because historically women were mistreated?
    1
  776. I think we are reaching a little in what he said. He may be trying to draw association, but he is doing it in a way that's so loose that no rational person would draw any significant merit from it. Like this, "I, like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., like Alexander The Great, like Gandhi, and so many other great men... Do in fact deficate, and that's what I am going to do" The action being related isn't defining. What made MLK great was standing up against opression, fighting for rights and respect, not bureaucracy, lots of people do bureaucracy. So yes, it was pointless to mention, and criticsm for it is merited but outrage is a bit much.
    1
  777. Why support the person you think will win, vs the person you WANT to win?
    1
  778. The problem is, if you resign when someone asks you to do something unethical, you are paving the way for someone else to do it. Which is *almost as unethical as doing that thing in the first place.

  781. No David you are inserting the term 'all' into her speech (based on the clipshown), by your own defense of yourself you say that you avoid saying 'all' when referring to a group. Which is good. However, you use the same general speech by referring to the group without making the clarification of 'some' or otherwise specify. Now people watching can either make the reasonable contextual assumption that she merely means 'some', or assume she means 'all' and get upset. But then, unless you wish to be hypocritical, they should adopt the same process to your speech, in which you often conflate republicans and trumpists, or merely refer to an entire group when similarly meaning 'some. But you are similarly ignoring context that she was potentially merely discussing a misguided but commonly held perception by the audience/americans that she herself doesn't hold. Sometimes you go too far in focusing on constructing or parroting outrage without being dilligent or objective. You are good often, which is why I watch. But you could improve on applying your approach universally.

  782. Wow, had I been on it I could've had the first comment. Not that I have anything to say on the matter...

  783. Here's the thing, someone out there knows how it competes with other viruses, would someone with a cold be more or less susceptable? Would someone with influenza? would encouraging the spread of either be beneficial? Would the increase be detrimental? And knowing that would pretty clearly prepare us for how we should approach the upcoming season.
    1
  784. So... are the blind supporters recognizing their hypocrisy?
    1
  785. less popularity
    1
  786. Don't you mean, Trump using War Criminals as pawns?
    1
  787. Maybe it would just be more accurate to say millitary criminals, as 'war crimes' are a very specific range of infractions.
    1
  788. A good interview. Thanks! People often mistake broad generalizations as unbreakable rules, rather than a loose grouping. I would eat kale when I was little back when it was an ignored garnish that would raise eyebrows when you ate it (my parents included). But I like how crisp and fresh it seems. The flavour is a bit grassy and not my favourite. I don't mind some salads but I will typically eat it in place of lettuce on a burger or sandwich. (It is usually cheaper than romaine where I live). I don't find this fact to be positive or negative, like preferring hamburgers to pizza, it's a preference. I don't like sweets that much. likely because growing up it wasn't afforded to me, so while I enjoy sugar I can have little before it loses enjoyment. I think this is negative because I would like to get more enjoyment out of food. My father has been a vegetarian for over 40 years, it was exceedingly difficult to find food, and a nuisance to himself and others. He didn't do it to be pretentious or fit in, or a faux environmental reason, or to condemn animal cruelty. It was a preference. Some people are ridiculous.

  789. Start convincing your friends to vote now, (not who to vote for, but just in general).

  790. Source?

  791. capitalism was also killing twitter (because no one was using it and advertisers weren't having their BS figures). Before trump joined it was on its way out, likely for the betterment of mankind.

  792. Liar has such a bad connotation! It's like people don't believe anything I say!

  793. The republicans said they didn't want him in 2016, then they all backed him. If they hadn't the country would have been much better off, even if he had still been elected.
    1
  794. maybe it's a denial because of how throughout his presidency it was reported that all he did was watch TV.
    1
  795. The worst thing that could be done is the League of nations approach: Yeah but we don't want a war, let them have this. No you prevent him from causing more damage and do the best everyone can not to exacerbate the problem (beyond that) and deter and take steps to prevent as much harm the zelots can do as possible.
    1
  796. Waste of government time, money, and stress for those unpaid.

  797. I have suspicion that these statements were contrived by an advisor expressly to try to rationalize his behaviour and lessen any later charges for things like crimes against humanity.
    1
  798. If I were part of the extreme left, I would accuse you of racism based on loose associations. But his speech was pretty garbled/distracted, making it a valid criticism. Not polite, but jokes don't have to be.
    1
  799. Trump said he was "THE BEST" president for african americans, and then said something to the extent of, "not even Abraham Lincoln! ...maybe him, but it's close".
    1
  800. Trump is not Hitler, he may have become him, he may have had similarities, but saying he is equivalent to Hitler is really just showing ignorance of history, and slightly disrespectful to the millions of lives Hitler took with the intent to take them.
    1
  801. The handling of the strike in this instance is a seperate issue to the broader policy. Was this one warranted or justifiable Y/N, it has little to no bearing on how absurd the policies/laws are and whether or not they should be repealed. But both are valid questions, and therefore have reasonable justification for commentary or debate (especially given that one is able to have a discussion on anything for any reason).
    1
  802. "communist china" Now communism isn't okay again? Weren't many of the republicans in office saying pro-communism stuff as an argument to support trump at various points?
    1
  803. Can you cut the nicknames please? It is objectively petty to play Trump's game, and your arguments are stronger when you don't sink to the level of those who do call names.
    1
  804. Even without that act, wouldn't it still be fraudulent marketing?
    1
  805. Honestly it's just slightly outside normal for me.
    1
  806. we like to think that, but not in the US.
    1
  807. I will repeat myself in this corner of the internet. If you say, "a woman can't win" isn't likely to be a comment on the ineptitude of women. That sounds absurd, given how liberal Sanders is. BUT it would likely be a comment on the percieved prevalence sexism in the US among the general public. It is something that the Democrats say ALL THE TIME, why is it suddenly a faux pas?
    1
  808. If he died from the virus, would they blame the democrats for his death? Would they acknowledge the virus more?
    1
  809. Oh no. As much as I think he is a fool, and as much harm has he as done to myself and countless others (financial, social, physical, and otherwise). I would feel bad for even having mentioned this hypothetical.

  811. If true, that's wholly unacceptable.

  812. Right, the president being an asset is an investigation that would be something of general concern such that verification ought to be akin to a criminal record check before you get hired for work with sensitive information, peoples, or equipment.

  813. Honestly with the all of the media spin, left or right, I have no idea what actually went on here, and get the feeling I never will get the whole story.

  817. Trump: harps on Biden's slip of the tongue regarding his length of service. Also Trump: "In the second debate I did great" ...despite it not happening yet.

  818. WTF! Take away your healthcare coverage, increase revenues by giving more people cancer? Also a building collapsing, insulated with asbestos, would have exposed THE ENTIRE CITY!
    1
  819. ...I am guessing for the same reason why "SJWs" are obsessed with the "Alt-Right". They both are groups containing members that do objectively stupid things and make good targets for ridicule and stereotyping. Maybe I shouldn't comment before watching the video, exactly what Mr. Pakman said.

  825. WTF!

  826. If they don't get paid, and Trump goes ahead with the shut down they will not and should not go to work... And should move forward with the slavery class action. A lot of these are security personnel, How can they say they care about security and take pride in those who protect the country if they aren't willing to even pay them for services rendered.

  834. Regardless of the alleged crime, investigate properly, and don't treat them as if they are guilty until proven to be. Domestic abuse, sexual assault, and rape are very serious crimes, and should be taken seriously. However, they are very emotionally charged crimes to the extent that even readers will lose impartiality. Regardless of how abhorrent the idea of these crimes are, actions should not be taken under an assumption of guilt. If you want to help, and doubt their innocence observe/investigate and report additional findings to the judge. Guilty or innocent, evidence is what leads to justice. Not harassment, firing, assault, or battery of the accused themselves (That can actually benefit them in court).
    1
  835. I agree, it does happen, pedestrians/cyclists are killed all the time, it is always terrible. Whenever someone is killed by your actions deliberate or accidental (unless in the cases of no control over the outcome) you carry responsibility to those affected by your actions. What I also don't agree with, is when everyone sensationalizes one story, showering support for one publicized incident, but ignoring all the others.

  838. A) Not surprising given his brown-noser-errand-boying during the rusia investigation. B) Any question at all as to his involvement should result in his ejection from the inquiry committee, no? It is a clear conflict of interest. (As well as probably being an offense that could have him ejected from the house)

  844. Welll... as pictured it's not very efficient, what you would want is giant multi-level greenhouses, to capitalize on economies of scale and thermal efficiency. Then you can also use automated harvesting, because labour intensive work in north america is really a no-go.

  847. He is victorious in that they far exceeded expectations for his campaign, and it was a surprise because I thought he was a D list candidate (I didn't even know what he looked like until know, and I know what Harris looks like and she is out of the running).

  868. The whole trying to frame everything as sexism or racism is tired, childish, and honestly not helpful as it will detract from real instances of misogyny and racism. The dude is clearly an ass, and I am certain interrupts everyone. Does that mean he isn't racist or sexist? No I don't know him or his actions well enough, but I do know politicians (and people in general) like to interrupt people to try to force their own narrative be it Pelosi, Trump, or Bernie Sanders. Ted Cruz does the same thing. I think part of it is that it's easy to take advantage of a poor video connection. Responses sound unclear, there is a time delay, etc.

  869. I suspect it is largely a structural bias for the police (as well as perspective). The police are prowling the streets watching for observable crimes that have existed for ages. Fighting, theft, murder, but due to common occurrence and a straightforward resolution, traffic violations, and drug related crimes are more often pursued. If they actually had police who investigated reports of corporate crimes (like a domestic violence call), watching the internet (for mention of criminal activity), driving by facilities looking for blatant infractions (like improper disposal of waste, or larger crimes). There would certainly be more convictions as a result.

  878. I wonder if he was trying to put them in a position where they would be calling their own bluff. If Ted Cruz became an insider, would he then out the trump campaign? If Cruz had any integrity that's how it would go, but kowtowing to trump... I don't know if he does (politically at least)

  879. Why is the president of the united states signing with a felt pen? Is it a insecurity over size thing, is it a narcisim thing, or has his aging reduced his dexterity to that extent? I just checked. From what I could find, his signature has become much more simplistic/illegible since 2005, suggesting a significant decline in motor acuity. Unsurprising, he is an old man, it just seems stupid considering the hypocrisy of his comments on health and age.

  880. So when he brings everyone in, and we questions their business ties and motivations, he says "I am draining the swamp, I have brought in all the best people". Now things are very obviously going south, and he is fireing everyone to act like its all their fault.
    1
  881. "If there is an easy solution, don't you think it would have happened?" That's always such a fallacious strawman argument. Is there motivation to employ the solution, is one key factor that argument ignores. Also, the assumption that whatever the moat ideal solution is, has actually been conceptualized or considered by the parties in question. The way something is in the world and 'the way it always has been', is rarely 'because this is 'the best way'. Just like the fallacy of, "the way it has always been" is not an accurate indicator of quality or perpetuity. Fundamentally, something is a certain way, until it isn't.

  888. Does anyone else think it is suspicious how georgia's vote count basically stopped once they got within 30,000 ballots? Some have said, with it so close they want to be extra careful. But being careful with 1-2% is irrelevant if you weren't careful with 98%. You should always be perfectly meticulous when counting votes.

  891. I don't know about that, the "It doesn't protect your speech from consequences" Is a bit too broad. 'Consequences' can be used to curtail free speech. You youself have criticized actions which demonstrated what could be construed as consequences, especially surrounding whistle-blower. If you disagree with person X then you go to jail. "Freedom of speech is not infringed because you were allowed to say you disagreed, but free speech does not protect you from consequences." It's not the sort of path we should go down. The argument needs to be clearer about the limitations of those consequences or the situations in which consequences would be applied.

  906. Things would go down because of percieved instability (it hasn't exactly been stable since he took office though) and the uncertainty. Not due to him being a 'genius,' or having done things of use, but because a president has been thrown out.

  907. There are 3 states that are determining the race, Nevada, Georgia, AND Pennsylvania. Perhaps even arguably Arizona. So his rationale for why he can't rely on PA is moot.

  908. If trump had dropped out last time republicans might have won. The same applies here. If someone is widely disliked and only supported because of their 'side', better to have a more appealing candidate.

  924. Anti-Gerrymandering has a similar opposing position. Because it makes the elections fair, it skews it in the favour of the other party. Therefore it should not happen. But the important thing should always be, does it impede fair democracy? Regardless of it helps or hinders you.
