  2. It's funny how these are the same people who claim that "liberals" are angry...

  3. Tim: "Using AI to show someone hugging a person is atrocious, but lying about someone being a pedophile is perfectly fair and reasonable"

  4. There is only one Bernie Sanders....

  5. Let me fix that title for you: "Idiots don't check their equipment before getting in the water with sharks"

  6. Woman is acting exactly how she describes her father acting and doesn't even know it. She's just passing that abuse onto someone else.
    583
  7. I can't believe how edgy she is, even after she told me 2 dozen times.
    563
  8. Perpetual inequality only creates violence and bad outcomes. Saying "we deserve security, safety, control over out borders, but they don't" only perpetuates this inequality.
    548
  9. Republicans have been using the tragedy of 911 as a tool to get what they want since 2001....
    533
  10. No interrupting = "let me drone on forever about my theories so you never have a chance to respond with facts"
    388
  11. It literally looks and sounds like an adult talking to a little kid...
    380
  12. Sounds like a guy who was just asked by his current girlfriend when was the last he saw his ex girlfriend.
    370
  13. Warren did a fatality on Delaney.
    341
  14. It's funny how people having a gun being an immediate threat doesn't apply to the police.
    316
  15. lol... "Relax while I point a loaded gun in your face". Cops really know how to deescalate a situation.
    316
  16. Vigilante justice sounds great until you, your friends, or your family is the innocent guy getting killed or beaten.
    287
  17. Oh no... two guys end up at a bar with a bunch of girls...….scary... you gonna be ok? Should we get the US military involved?
    272
  18. No... Just No... "The meaning of 'guys' has changed over time" is where you should have ended and begun this video instead of pretending that somehow people subconsciously interpret it as something it isn't. A lot of words have changed meaning over time and I can walk into a room of women and say "hey guys" and it's fine. It's used to address animals even inanimate objects. So please, STOP....

  19. It's almost as if they went out of their way to create a religion by ignoring everything Jesus ever did or said.
    239
  20. Libertarians are like spoiled kids that don't have any clue what it took to put a roof over their head. They want to pretend that 1st world countries just appeared through free market magic.
    225
  21. Guy on the Left: Let's create a scientific mechanism to make sure every vote counts. Guy on the Right: I'm going use every underhanded trick in the book so that my team wins regardless of voters.
    222
  22. First time I've seen someone actually acknowledging that they substituted one religion for another... Something that many of us already suspected.
    216
  23. You are not "self made" unless you became a millionaire after living on your own, under your own roof, having to pay your own bills. Children who proclaim they are "self made" always leave out the free lodging, grooming, investment, and labor they got from their parents. Most parent don't have the means to turn their children into celebrities and help them with their businesses.
    203
  24. I've been a TYT member for probably a decade now. The problem with Ana, and TYT for the past few years, is constantly adopting right wing nomenclature and framing when fighting against right wing nomenclature and framing. They've also gotten into this habit recently of getting into these twitter fights with people to the left of them and it's starting to become reminiscent of the Democratic party establishment punching down to progressives when getting criticized from the left. I don't know the details of these fights, but these weird beefs come through in their reporting where they claim that people on far left are okay with crime, etc. and I have no idea who they're even talking about. There are much more productive ways of having these discussions and twitter robs people of that, but to pretend that inclusive phrasing somehow minimizes you as a woman is pretty absurd. It's like when the right wing says that gay marriage somehow minimizes their marriage.

  25. It's not a betrayal when he was never on the side of Palestinians to begin with.
    188
  26. "I have a 2nd Amendment right to to defend myself against people that I harass & assault" -Typical George Zimmerman Coward Complex
    184
  27. If you're a white guy sure, you get that privilege. But if you're a black kid in the 80's and 90's and you have people looking at you weird or think you're in the wrong place when you show up to a punk bar or mosh pit. Or when all of the people you meet assumes you're into hip-hop and never punk or heavy metal, then it certainly feels that punk cares about race.
    174
  28. Left has great ideas. Left Organizes. Left start bickering about who's "most pure". Left eats itself and fails.... This happens over and over again. (Occupy, Green Party, Justice Democrats, and so on...). If we don't leave this bullshit "purity" and "political correctness" behind nothing will ever be accomplished.
    173
  29. Gives new definition to the phrase "playing the race card" 😂
    165
  30. I can't watch this without saying "such a loss" over and over in my head. Such a loss for the world.
    159
  31. Sorry Cenk, but Bernie has been talking about getting money out of politics LONG before you were.
    155
  32. Never ceases to amaze how conservatives can play the victim over things that they did.
    142
  33. When your first instinct when watching two people struggle to move a television is to not help, but to take out your phone and record them....
    139
  34. "You could charge the president with a crime after he leaves office" Mueller: "Yes" Impeachment case in a nutshell folks....
    132
  35. It's funny how if you've smoked pot before you're a thug, but if you stalk your girlfriends, physically assault your girlfriends, threaten their family, threaten to kill people you meet on the street, stalk people at their workplace with a gun, and stalk and kill a guy then somehow you're not a thug... People who still defend this guy are pieces of shit.
    127
  36. He looks "similar" to The Rock, he doesn't look exactly like The Rock.
    126
  37. It's interesting how he's using the same technique that Jordan Peele did in his "Us" trailer of playing an upbeat song and then slowing it down to make it sound creepy. Ben Shapiro is probably secretly a huge fan of Jordan Peele while bashing his movies in public 😂
    123
  38. Now we know how Mussolini rose to power
    121
  39. LOL "Jesus ran a small business". HAHAHAHAHA   Yeah Christianity was actually spread through the multinational corporation Jesus Inc. which cornered the carpentry market....     These guys crack me up.  They can always pull a libertarian argument through the eye of a needle.
    113
  40. Imagine having a serial killer whose defense is being distracted by his victim's screams.
    112
  41. I much prefer "laughing at ludicrous non-issues Bri" over "I'm going to give credibility to non-issues Bri"
    106
  42. If I say I have natural immunity and I have antibody tests to prove it, people consider me an "antivaxxer" for not wanting to get vaccinated to something I'm already immune to. It's this weird culture war we're in where both sides are ignoring science... People say: "natural immunity varies from person to person" while ignoring the fact that immunity through vaccination also varies from person to person.
    106
  43. "This country cannot survive a Kamala Harris presidency" "But I'll support the guy who wanted martial law, ignored pandemic preparedness, and orchestrated a coup"
    104
  44. I've been saying it since Nov 3... The reason that Trump and the Republicans were making so many voter fraud accusations is because they were in fact committing voter fraud themselves. Classic projection...
    98
  45. To look at a camera and simply say "we're in this together" and that someone is going to help requires more empathy than Trump is capable of. All you really need is more empathy than zero.
    98
  46. We've had like 50 Benghazi level controversies , added 1.9 TRILLION dollars to the debt, and yet the right wing still stays silent....
    96
  47. "Free Speech only applies to ideas and topics that are flattering to me" -Every Dictator Ever
    94
  48. Biden called Cory Booker "The President". It's like he just had a senior moment and thought he was standing next to Obama. 😂
    94
  49. Bernie Sanders kicking ass, Trump calling the GOP out on their bullshit, and Scalia finally getting replaced.... This is the best year ever.
    89
  50. 11:55 Anyone who says "I don't know" to how a politician can lose their vote is not a serious person.
    89
  51. To all politicians who supported this or remained silent.... There WILL be a reckoning.... Pack your bags, your career is done.
    88
  52. As a black guy growing up in the US who has experienced various forms of racism here and there throughout my life. The thing that pisses me off the most are people getting pissed off over content rather than context and intent. Bill Maher wasn't making light of slavery, he wasn't excusing institutional bias, he wasn't saying "black people suck", he was simply making a self deprecating joke. You seriously undermine the cause by pretending that a comedian making a joke is about the entire weight history of black slavery and institutional racism. There are millions of suburban white kids saying "nigga" while listening to rap music. Should we waste our time tracking them down and making them feel guilty for being white and having the audacity to enjoy the music and culture and sing along? Maybe we should instead focus on the people shot by police for being black, detained for being black, or the millions of black people in prison for simple drug possession? Maybe we should also look at how Latinos, Middle-Eastern Muslims, and Native Americans have been treated unfairly in this country as well. Because I can guarantee that a white guy not calling himself a "house nigga" or a white kid not calling himself a "nigga" when listening to rap isn't going to solve those problems. In reality these are the people who are most on our side and alienating them doesn't help.
    85
  53. He was probably the first to basically make his son in law and daughter unelected co-presidents.
    82
  54. GTFO... "She has a bald head like Demi Moore in GI Jane" is not rooted in anything. It is one of the most benign jokes I've ever heard in my life. And yes, it would be the same joke if it were a white woman, because in case you didn't realize it GI Jane was white... It might be a Sinead O'Conner joke if they were a singer instead of an actor. Chris Rock didn't even know she had a condition. Also, depending on the person, it is perfectly acceptable to make a joke about someone in a wheelchair or deaf, based on whether the person is sensitive about it or not. Believe it or not, lots of disabled people have no problems laughing at their condition even the deaf woman you just pictured. Laughter can be something that unifies people, and the most well-adjusted people can laugh at themselves. Furthermore, I really don't think telling more people they are "disabled" is a good thing. Most people on this planet have some kind of physical, medical, or psychological issue. Just embrace the diversity instead of acting as if anyone who looks slightly different is automatically "disabled".
    81
  55. Making valid arguments for why people should vote one way vs. another is not "vote shaming" it's called "democracy". Which ultimately works through voting.... However you can make non-productive political arguments on just about anything.
    79
  56. 30 years ago at my high school, there were guys who wore dresses, makeup, and long hair to school because it was somewhat fashionable at the time (The Cure, Boy George, etc.). Literally no one cared. I really don't get why people would be so obsessed over how other people look and dress when it has nothing to do with them.
    79
  57. It's not unusual to want some kind of conversation/reasons after getting fired. It's not really a formality, more like closure.
    70
  58. He's literally salivating at the idea of killing millions of people....
    69
  59. Cenk being incredibly accommodating to "the right" while yelling at the slightest criticism from "the left" is exactly what Cenk used to complain about when it came to establishment democrats and people like Rahm Emanuel. He used to complain about "corporate media" only to turn around and sell his studio that was crowdfunded by TYT supporters to Polymarket.... That's what makes this pivot sting so badly. ☹
    67
  60. Cenk has been fanboying/drooling over Rosario Dawson for years and now he gets to interview her. :-)
    64
  61. People know Disney as the company who has been entertaining children for a 100 years. Yet suddenly a rando governor knows more about what is appropriate or not.
    63
  62. lol.... They talk about "cultural enclaves" while living in neighborhoods that are 99% white and culturally homogeneous. Project much?
    62
  63. It's a small private company, it may not even have a board. However what few customers they have might jump ship once they get word of this. So the company itself might be done.
    62
  64. Johnson has got that creepy kind of passive aggressiveness that I really try to avoid... It usually means that the person has real difficulty facing problems and is ready to blow up at any time. The guy is a walking time-bomb.
    60
  65. Gee why does this all sound familiar?.... Modi pretty much handled Covid exactly like Trump did.
    60
  66. Let's be honest, he called her because he thinks she's hot and he likes his ego stroked. He could give a shit about policies.
    59
  67. I may have problems with Biden, but you know the guy actually cares about the country and respects the office. Unlike that clown who makes everything a joke and about himself.
    58
  68. Sam considering it an honor that someone took the time to critique one of his takes is a stark contrast to Ana on TYT literally losing her mind on her show because she saw one Tweet that said she gave Ben Shapiro "a pass" when it came to the genocide in Gaza.
    57
  69. Bullshit. The worst part was dude drawing an elephant on a rock and pretending it was there the whole time. "Looks like there could be an ear here"? Gee that wasn't pre-planned or anything.
    56
  70. "It's not true! It's a lie! because... idk.... reasons!" - says every racist white guy.
    55
  71. Took me 2 minutes to find out that pure aluminum is used in all sorts of parts in the aerospace industry. Airplanes, satellites, heat sinks, electrical wiring and components, fuel tanks, etc. Even in automobiles pure aluminum can be used in certain components. That metal could have come from anywhere so to call it a "UFO fragment" is a total joke.
    54
  72. 02:24 They really should call that conveyer belt.... "the cake walk"....
    54
  73. Another case of: "Carrying your phone while black". I'm sure when people normally steal phones they carry them out in the open so that everyone can see.
    54
  74. So the response is to slander him as an "antisemite" for criticizing Israel's policies? I'm shocked.... 😲 Never seen that happen before...
    54
  75. YouTube putting the "potential feelings" of content creators over viewers is a huge mistake. People go to YouTube and other platforms for the social experience. They should be ADDING more feedback options not taking them away. The dislike ratio tells me things like: 1. Is this a real video or something fake or trolling? 2. Is there something controversial or interesting about the video. 3. Is there something reprehensible about the content that needs to be highlighted. Many times content creators create videos based on the dislikes of other videos. Hiding this feature means this is no longer possible. Already this is effecting me negatively because I started watching a fake trailer for a show and I almost watched the whole thing before realized it was fake. The dislike ratio would have told me that right away. I shouldn't have to read a bunch of comments on a video to figure out if something is wrong with it or not. YouTube is opening the door to a lot of scams and fake content by getting rid of the dislike ratio.
    53
  76. Ana...  You do realize that people with Asperger's and autism are LESS likely to commit violent actions than the average person. So when you say things like "anyone diagnosed with a mental disorder shouldn't be around a gun", you are really demonizing an entire group you know little about.  Think for a minute about what that sounds like to a person who might be watching your program who is diagnosed with Asperger's?   It's no less ignorant than Republicans going on television and demonizing all Muslims...
    52
  77. He had to talk to people in order to acknowledge basic history.... And now he's a hero for acknowledging basic history after spending most of his life denying it...
    52
  78. Somehow AJW knows the magic formula for all policing across the country. He's also professor Xavier and can read the hearts and minds of police officers all over the country and how they all behaved when their fee-fees were hurt by protests.
    52
  79. TYT's got jokes
    51
  80. Speaking of antisemitic tropes. Have you noticed how often Israeli officials and Israelis on twitter have referred to Hamas and Palestinians as "rats"? It's constant and I'm wondering if they have any self awareness of what they're doing.
    51
  81. Words cannot express how angry I am at this bullshit.  I used to watch these channels for real science and real information.  No more.... I'm done.   What used to be the only channels worth watching on cable are now all pure shit. Fuck Animal Planet and your fake mermaids.  Fuck Discovery Channel and your fake "Megladon".  Fuck History Channel and your fake "ancient aliens".  From now on I'm only going to watch the BBC for my science TV where they still give a shit about informing people with facts not just Trolling for ratings.
    50
  82. None of this was a setup at all... Everything was perfectly natural and unexpected...
    50
  83. Imagine telling the founders of this country that presidents in the future will be picked based on catchy insults and nicknames.
    49
  84. We know that the Russians wanted Trump elected for a very long time and they invested a LOT of resources into making that happen. However I doubt we will ever prove any kind of collusion between Trump and the Russian government. We'll probably get someone from his campaign, but I honestly think Putin is way too smart to leave a direct trail to Trump. What we'll likely get Trump on is money laundering, emoluments clause, or campaign finance violations, because unlike Putin, Trump is too stupid to cover his illegal shit.
    48
  85. Maher is right... I've been a Bernie Sander's supporter for a decade but some of his new supporters can be annoying as shit. If you can't see a difference between Clinton & Trump then you're just profoundly ignorant on the issues. Bernie Sanders is not an idiot nor is he a "sell out", he put his support behind Clinton because it was the best path to push more of his policies forward instead of going completely backwards on climate change, health care, education, marijuana legalization, taxes, defense spending, foreign relations, etc.
    47
  86. Wow, the irony of someone taking Uber because he was too drunk to drive getting killed by a drunk driver.... I can't even wrap my head around that.
    47
  87. Megyn also thinks it is "obvious" that Jesus and Santa Claus were "white" when they weren't. So she's probably not the best judge for what people are and are not.
    47
  88. That IMer must be some kind of plant if he thinks TMR spends hardly any time criticizing TYT. I was a TYT member for about a decade and was watching them since 2005. I know exactly what their takes were back then compared to now. Not only are they doing a right wing shift and right wing appeasement, but even their journalistic standards have slipped quite a bit. They used to criticize politicians for putting their finger in the wind and using polls to determine their stances on issues and now that's all they do. They refuse to acknowledge that "new media" is just as bad if not far worse than "mainstream media", because they're part of the problem that new media is facing. Constant "audience capture" rather than honesty.
    47
  89. Bernie Sanders sings the same tune over and over.... and it's my favorite song :-)
    46
  90. Or maybe.... Racing cars is dangerous and car safety was complete crap back then.
    46
  91. Wow, it really sounded like "I wish her well" was Trump's way of threatening Ghislaine Maxwell... Basically saying that her bf was killed and maybe the same thing could happen to her.
    46
  92. Keep in mind that Trump has always had a habit of listening to the last guy in the room. So I would guess that someone said something to him about being magnanimous and he was like "I can do that! Just watch me!". So it was probably less "strategic" and more reactionary. Also, if you remember he randomly said nice things about Clinton that seemed to come out of nowhere.
    45
  93. I'm pretty sure most people in that room would say "yes" to voting for Trump if it would guarantee an end to world hunger. In fact I think you can hear people saying "yes" in the background. So it's not a gotcha question it only showcases how little Ted Cruz actually cares about people.
    44
  94. Funny how God want's him to be rich and not pay taxes...
    43
  95. Based on this clip it sounded like the guy was just pointing out the institutional bias against males during rape cases, not that ALL rape was based on a drunken encounter.   That number of false reports is definitely high enough to at least keep that in mind.
    43
  96. The irony of depicting the union army enslaving dinosaurs while leaving out the fact that the confederate army enslaved people....
    43
  97. Trump is just like all bullies... They seem strong when picking on others, but as soon as they're attacked you really see how weak they are.
    42
  98. idk WTF this guy is talking about. Asylum seekers were processed inside the untied states long before the Trump administration. We were literally talking about these statistics DURING the Trump administration.
    42
  99. "We need to talk".... Kind of hard to talk when one guy's position is "gimmie your country" and the other position is "no". I don't see any way out other than one side or both sides getting so decimated that the war becomes untenable.
    42
  100. The title is completely misleading TYT.... In fact I would say it's an outright lie.
    41
  101. Say it with me: "Condemning Trump over his handling of Russia doesn't mean we are in favor of staying in Afghanistan or dropping bombs on Moscow..."
    41
  102. I've never understood why people kept seeing magical things in Marilyn Monroe. She was basically an influencer with issues. We've got thousands of those these days.
    41
  103. It's not that Hannah doesn't have a point, it's that we're all annoyed that you guys are wasting our time on an bullshit story while getting on a soapbox to state the obvious.... Save this bullshit for pop trigger. Most people disagree with Khaled, including the people who were in the room. This "story" should have died in 2015, because it was a non-story then and still is now.
    41
  104. Calling killing tens of thousands of civilians a "disagreement" is fucking sick.
    41
  105.  @TrollinOn22s  No one should "get infected". However if you HAVE ALREADY BEEN infected, as millions in this country have been, then you don't need vaccination from a disease that you've already built an immunity to. IF you HAVE NOT BEEN infected, then you should get vaccinated to prevent getting Covid and possibly being hospitalized for it. I don't get why this is hard to understand or why people have decided to put themselves into "vaccination camps" and "anti-vaccination camps". As if there is no room for nuance or following actual science.
    41
  106. Fun Fact: The Delta variant could transmit just fine if you're fully vaccinated. In a UK study, there was about a 30% reduction in transmission compared to unvaccinated people. Which is enough for the virus to still circulate, and that reduction was only if you were vaccinated two months ago, it's even less as your antibodies wane over time. The vaccines make it less likely for you to be hospitalized or show symptoms, but that doesn't mean you can't get infected and not know it... Never mind the animal populations that have gotten infected. In fact, there's even a chance that Omicron may have originated from mice and not humans. So this idea that if everyone got vaccinated Covid 19 would stop I believe is nothing more than a fairy tale. I think it's far more likely that it will just mutate into milder variants until it's no longer as life threatening.
    41
  107. Ending slavery was far more "destabilizing to a cultural norm" than the 2% of people becoming trans... It's pretty obvious what side of the abolitionist debate Jordan Peterson would have been on.
    40
  108. A group of BLM protesters chanted a joke towards cops once and right wingers have been pretending for YEARS that they are all violent because of that one chant. Yet when white supremacists beat up people, shoot at people, and kill people you don't hear a peep.
    40
  109. I wonder if these cops came across children selling lemonade or pretty white girls washing cars in their bikinis if they would harass and wrestle them to the ground in the same way for not charging a sales tax...
    39
  110. This mom proved that you can do something stupid and get caught... Just like with voter fraud, there is no epidemic of people disguising themselves as students in order to get into schools however there are people who will make up a problem in order to get attention for themselves.
    39
  111. It's the very definition of "sedition".... This lunatic is literally doing sedition against the United States of America.
    39
  112.  @TrollinOn22s  It's called acknowledging the reality of natural immunity. It doesn't mean everyone should get infected Genius. All vaccination does is simulate an infection so that you can produce an immune response. We wouldn't have vaccines to begin with if it weren't for the body's ability to do this.
    39
  113. How dare those protesters violently put their faces on the cop's fists like that. They even used their faces to block the cop's pepper spray. smh...
    39
  114. The problem with Ben is that he relies on cherry picking, straw men, illogical extremes, and conflating different topics to make his arguments. That is really the only way you can go through life believing in "free market" healthcare, buying off politicians, and economic inequality. If you can't bring yourself to look at the data which can easily prove or disprove your positions then you really don't care about being truth.
    38
  115. As a black guy who finds Tony Robbins annoying af. I give him a total pass. It's obvious that he wasn't doing it out of any sort of racism he was doing it to try to make people feel empowered rather than demeaned by the word. This is nonsense... There are far more racist things in 2019 that we should be talking about other than a self help guru saying a bad word nearly 40 years ago.
    38
  116. It might be going a bit too far to call China and Russia "allies". They certainly cooperate with one another, but they've also had a long history of antagonism against each other as well. China is operating in the interests of China, not out of some obligation to Russia.
    38
  117. I love how we give "credit" to Trump for doing the bare minimum, something that literally an average 12 year old would do. We also give him "credit" for reversing the problems he created. How nice for him.
    38
  118. And you're calling Ana stupid?  People are reluctant to get help if they think they might get thrown in jail or get their friends in trouble.  All you have to do is look at the countries who have decided to start investing in drug rehabilitation instead of drug prisons and you can see the impact it has had.
    37
  119. My favorite was the guy who said the biggest problem was "people being divided" and ended his comment complaining about Biden tearing down barriers...
    37
  120. This is the very definition of "Cult of Personality". These are people who have bought into the brand without even once looking at the ingredients.
    37
  121. Let's not pretend for a second that Cuomo did everything right... Though far better than Trump who was just screaming like a toddler for 6 months.
    37
  122. "Who believes this nonsense?" -People who are in touch with reality. "conveniently got their birthday weekends ruined" - Right.... cause no one ever goes to Vegas for their birthday.
    35
  123. I'm sure 80-90% of people watching this know it is complete BS and scripted but are watching it anyway as comedy.
    35
  124. All MAGA/Qanon idiots ever want is a grainy video where you can't make out anything so they can fill in the details with their imagination.
    35
  125. And I'd rather get punched in the nuts than watch anything NFL related. To each his own. Speaking of over hyped....   Super bowl anyone?
    34
  126.  @ryanwebster6786  I don't know what a "vid shot" is, but when has she ever said that?
    34
  127. "I'm afraid you're going to hurt someone" "If my friends were here they would knock the crap out of you"...
    34
  128.  @DarkResonance  It's comments like that which really piss people off... I've been watching them for nearly 20 years dude. I was there when Ana first got her start and when Cenk first supported Medicare for All. The right shift and right appeasement that's been going on at TYT not based on a single minor disagreement and characterizing it as such is at best disingenuous. Mondale Robinson just quit as a TYT contributor over this bs.
    34
  129. The awkward transition between this clip and the previous clip I watched where you were railing against politicians fundraising.
    34
  130. Totally agree with Cenk... An underdog with a tie is always the winner. Did you guys not see Rocky? ;-) Furthermore the media loves a horse race, which will give more momentum to Sanders and a lot more media coverage than he had before.
    32
  131. That moment when you realize that Opera's spiritual adviser did far better being interviewed by Dave Rubin than a sitting member of congress...
    32
  132. The fact that people thought that a "billionaire" who has never once had any history of helping anyone or even volunteering for a cause, would suddenly look out for them is completely astounding to me.... A guy who has spent his entire life trying to make as much money as he can is not there to look after "the little guy".
    32
  133. The guy literally sounds like a NPC.
    32
  134. Kyle... Keep in mind that in this study you're referring to they dropped covid directly into the eyes of Resus monkeys. This is very different than the covid that would be floating around the air in droplets. My guess is that it is technically possible to get coronavirus into your eye or ear from a droplet floating around or by rubbing it into your eyes, but it is far less likely than inhaling covid which directly sucks the coronavirus from the air and into your lungs and nasal passages. The reason people didn't talk about it is that it's probably not the big issue that you're making it out to be.
    32
  135. Like Trump said: "I love the uneducated" and his supporters will continue to follow him from whatever bus he throws them under...
    32
  136. Question: "You could charge the president of the United States with Obstruction of Justice after he left office?" Mueller: "Yes"
    31
  137. I disagree. Donna Brazille has absolutely nothing to gain from this. She's not a politician. She could very well get some nice jobs and positions for the next 10 years sucking up to the establishment because her job doesn't rely on public opinion. If all you do is berate people when they do the right thing then there is no reason for people to ever do the right thing.
    31
  138. Many years ago I suspected that Ana would start to shift to the right in her late 30s or early 40s. Mostly because her mindset for how she approaches problems has always been very reactionary and set in her ways. She's never been very adaptable in her thinking and most of her politics has been from Cenk. I've also seen a lot of personal attacks from her as well and unnecessarily focusing on the appearance of people who she disagrees with. We know that "fear" and "disgust" are motivating factors for the conservative mind. So I have no doubt that she feels grossed out by trans people and that is influencing her politics. She also owns a gun because it makes her "feel" safe.
    31
  139. It's actually "extraordinary and revealing" that a company has so much power that they can get into a twitter war with multiple United States senators. I have a twitter account. I have free speech. I'm pretty sure US senators don't care what I say on twitter. Though it might be a LITTLE different if I controlled over a million employees and HALF of all e-commerce in the country...
    31
  140. Most people die in motorcycle accidents when they don't wear a helmet, but since it's "possible" to survive a crash on a motorcycle without a helmet then everyone should just not worry about it.
    30
  141. The constant wave after wave of Anti-Muslim (i.e. Mideastern looking), Anti-immigrant, Anti-trans, Anti-drag, BS nonsense that has propagated through right wing circles every year for the past 20 years is effing irritating to no end.
    30
  142. Large bonuses for corporate executives are necessary so they will stay, but bonuses for other employees are a bad because they might leave. Funny how that works...
    30
  143. Biden treats African Americans like a token identity he has in his back pocket simply because he was Obama's running mate. You can only run on name recognition for so long before people realize there is little substance there. The trend for the polls in SC are pretty clear... Biden is losing ground while Bernie is gaining ground. Biden might still win, but it's going to be close.... Personally I think Sanders will get enough of a bump from Nevada to win SC by about 2-3 points.
    30
  144. Booty Judge has turned saying nothing into an art form. If you asked him whether we should order a pizza or not he would say: "We need to get to the root of hunger in this household and get serious about how different foods can satisfy that hunger.... The reality is we've been talking about this food situation for several long minutes now, long before I even entered this room in fact and nothing has really been done about it.... I think it's time for new ideas, bold ideas on food that will fundamentally satisfy ALL appetites no matter what side of aisle you're on". And you're like: "Dude..... SO SHOULD WE ORDER A PIZZA OR NOT?"
    30
  145. Asking for a list of demands in the middle of a war is like asking each football team how many points they're willing to take while the game is still going on. It's much easier to ask how many points each team will accept at the end of the game when a victory is clear compared to the beginning when victory is uncertain.
    30
  146. No...  Slavery is Slavery. If you think credit cards, a mortgage, or car note is the same as being locked up in a box, beaten, whipped, chained, raped, made to kill others then you have warped since of what slavery actually was.. Anyone who compares Slavery to anything but Slavery doesn't know what the fuck they are talking abut....   There is such as thing as actual modern day slavery and 30 billion dollar industry in human trafficking that incudes children are taken from their mothers to raised as sex slaves. If you think that is the same as the privileged life you lead then you are completely clueless about the world.
    29
  147. I doubt that anyone in the mainstream media is going to say that Bernie Sanders "Crushed It"....
    29
  148. Funny how no one can know God's plan except when it comes to gays, abortions, and Israel...
    29
  149. It's weird how all of these people with breathing problems have no problems screaming for 10 minutes straight....
    29
  150. The problem with saying "give them something" is that you pretty create the incentive that anyone who starts a war can "get something" as long as they threaten the world long enough. There is literally no incentive for Putin or another dictator to do the same thing. Also, the fact is both Ukraine and Russia have rejected these peace deals and it's not like the US has control over that despite some forces in the US government wanting to weaken Russia.
    29
  151. 4:04 I like the look on Kilmeade's face before he started talking. Like he was thinking "what am I doing with my life?"
    29
  152. I call BS on a lot things in this clip. 1. Just so happens to come across an oasis... I really don't think that was an accidental find. 2. Walking into the middle of "quick sand" when you could clearly walk around it... Why would anyone choose to walk in mud let alone the part that was obviously the deepest? 3. That hare was waaaaay too docile to be wild. 4. No way would you even be close to hitting a rabbit with that sling. 5. No way could you skin a rabbit that cleanly with that rock. 6. I don't believe for a second that the "flour" came from those cattails roots. It was way too clean and the only markings on it came from the rocks he was putting it on.
    29
  153. "Look at me as a human being, while I look at you for your money"
    29
  154. I don't get why some white people have the hardest time understanding what racism is.... Racism isn't deciding how black/white/latino people are, or having a conversation on cultural contributions of certain individuals. I mean for fucks sake if you can't figure it out from the definition of the word then I really don't know what's wrong with you: Racism: "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."
    28
  155. I've seen people do this all the time, but in the emergency lane not in the oncoming traffic lane... That was incredibly dumb.
    28
  156. Trump would rather see more dead Americans than upset his base or his political power.
    28
  157. Republican logic: Having a less than secure email server is grounds to be put in prison, yet using the presidency to coerce foreign governments into enriching yourself financially and politically is apparently okay.
    28
  158. Wow... you kind of always knew that some of these pastors who are so animated against homosexuality had bisexual/homosexual tendencies themselves and were really "projecting" their own desires when saying it's a choice, but right there at the end of the clip he basically admits it... Thom Hartman did a similar interview with another preacher that indicated the same thing. These guys really need to stop the self hatred. It's not good for us or for them.
    27
  159. Society didn't decline because of sex, drugs, homosexuality, atheism, etc. It declined when we decided that money represented status, security, subsistence, and power in society. That change meant that money is more important than our relationships to each other and our relationship to the planet. -TZM
    27
  160. So glad to have gotten to know Bernie Sanders over the years thanks to Thom's show :)
    27
  161. He had enough money, then he started comparing himself to billionaires and started feeling inadequate again.
    27
  162. Donald Trump has never been qualified for any job he's had in his life. So why would he expect pesky "qualifications" from other people?
    27
  163. The party that has railed against "over regulation" my entire life puts in place regulations that literally kill women.
    27
  164. I fail to see what the point of all this is... In my mind there are far bigger logistical issues to be solved than sending a vehicle as fast as you can down a small stretch of track. We've literally been doing that for decades. This seems like nothing more than a PR campaign.
    27
  165. You can't rule out misogyny and racism when a large part of Trump's campaign is misogyny and racism. The only difference is that Roe is on the ballet which is the only strength for Kamala compared to 2020. Otherwise Kamala would be a horrible candidate. Maybe she could do okay with a much better debate prep team than what she had in 2020, but she's kind of a deer in headlights.
    27
  166. It's honestly no different for these people when it comes to religion. They will pick and choose whatever they want to be "true" from the Bible and ignore everything else. The Bible, Constitution, Free Speech, etc. are all just things they use to have moral justification/superiority for the things they want. It's all about power.
    26
  167. Nope, the UK is nearly as stupid as we are.
    26
  168. This was over a year and half ago guys... Coyote Peterson basically does a kids show for wildlife education.
    26
  169. Hillary is only skilled at being fake and people don't like that shit anymore.
    25
  170. You forget Kyle that Trump literally started his campaign by talking about "banning Muslims". Can you imagine if a Democrat even made a joke about banning Christians?
    25
  171. The guy is effing nuts... I've never seen anyone so narcissistic and self delusional in all my life.
    25
  172. Just wait a few minutes and some conservative troll will claim that Antifa or BLM is equivalent to murdering innocent people.
    25
  173.  @ronhatfield2322  You weren't born with anything. You were born into a society with rules and regulations that were created by men. If you were born in a different time and place your life would be entirely different. You might be born a slave, an immigrant struggling to escape cartel violence, or sitting in a child sweatshop making clothes. Pretty easy to think you magically have all the rights in the world when you were born into a system that gave you advantages.
    25
  174. Van Jones: "Whether we buy it or take it is not the issue" I'm pretty sure that's a pretty effing big distinction... 🤦🏼
    25
  175. Republicans investigate Clinton 10 times over Benghazi, come up with nothing. FBI investigates the Trump administration one time and suddenly it's a "coup", "bias", and the people investigated should be put in handcuffs.
    25
  176. The fact that Trump cares more about 18 people shot in Chicago than he does about the hundred or more who died from Covid 19 in Chicago tells you everything you need to know.
    25
  177. I'm no fan of Tulsi, but you guys are really clowning yourselves by making this about "gender". Let me simplify it for you... People born with male sex organs naturally generate a lot more testosterone than someone born with female sex organs. This can have a big advantage in certain sports with women who do not generate a lot of testosterone. So while I fully support trans rights everywhere else, when it comes to sports it is a very grey area. There are also cases where there have been women who naturally generate more testosterone though some genetic abnormality without being trans, which is also a topic of discussion as far as what is considered "natural ability". But I think this is a case where you should have educated yourselves on the topic a little more before talking on it, because this is not a nuanced discussion at all.
    25
  178.  @blazzing_fury2425  No, but let's be honest about who mostly uses the tactic. As well as who has been taken to court many times for various forms of voter suppression all across this country.
    25
  179. It was generally not common to smile in photos back then anyway. So he was basically doing the norm.
    25
  180. Yeah, I think a lot of people growing up in the wake of the Iraq war has really slanted people's views towards foreign policy. The fact is sometimes being friends with the biggest kid in class, who is a little crazy, prevents you from being picked on by the bully sitting next to you. Like it or not, the US plays that role for some countries and if we don't "saber rattle" every so often, then countries lose their sovereignty. We can't exactly say "We're still not going to start a war if you march into Kiev", because that just gives Putin a green light to invade. Simply saying "tut-tut" to someone who wants to consolidate power and secure his legacy doesn't do anything. Also, if you don't have sanctions that effect the Russian people, then you're not going to have sanctions that effect Putin's popularity.
    24
  181. I actually like Lil-Tay. Too many people decided to take her seriously. These people are nothing more than court jesters or rodeo clowns. I had no problems with her pretending to flex, it was funny. No worse than the thousands of other people who fake shit every day for Instagram.
    24
  182. It's amazing how Biden is younger than Bernie and yet every time he speaks he sounds like a rambling old man who doesn't know what he's talking about.
    24
  183. Not really. There are literally hundreds perhaps thousands of girls who look like her.
    24
  184. "Oh no I think they're trying to make me feel guilty for my whiteness because I'm an irrational child who cannot recognize history for what it is so instead of being thoughtful and appreciating this video/initiative I'll just dislike"
    24
  185. So it seems that the vast majority of these negative comments are people butt hurt that something bad was said about Sam Harris by one person on the panel while completely ignoring the substance of the entire 20 minutes of conversation. Seriously people are we children?
    23
  186. Let me flip the script again.... If this was the Clinton Foundation and a Saudi Arabian prince you would be all over it, in fact you were all over it for about 6-8 months and pretty much called Clinton guilty with much less evidence than there is with Trump and Russia. Having constant "Whataboutism" on a topic is a clear indication that your ego is getting the way of being objective. Guess what? The US government can be corrupt when it comes to other countries and corporations AT THE SAME TIME.... Wow! what a concept! Several things can be true at once and saying "What about this?" instead of reporting the facts as they come fairly and consistency means you're not being fair and consistent.... When it comes to you and the Russia topic, I'm done thinking that you can report on the news fairly and accurately, because clearly you can't
    23
  187. Never trusted Tulsi. She says a lot to get elected without the record of fighting for years like Sanders and Warren and she flips on a lot of things.
    23
  188. Are you going to eat your words about these hearings being a waste of time? There's a reason why the GOP engages in constant theater. because unfortunately it is often more effective at getting a message across than quietly passing legislation. The entire MAGA movement was based on nothing but theater.
    23
  189. What exactly are parents supposed to do if their kid comes home sick? They can't exactly quarantine their own child that effectively. You're basically putting the entire family at risk.
    23
  190. 12:20 Bernie wasn't "weak". Let's keep in mind that Bernie has gotten further in a presidential campaign than any progressive candidate has in decades.... Saying that his loss in the primary was because of "woke politics" is just ignoring what actually happened. Bernie was far ahead of everyone in the race until Biden got the right endorsement in SC and Obama got everyone else to drop out and support Biden. If you can't agree on what actually happened then we can't win the next time. Biden didn't win because of "strength" or his policies. The lesson here is that coalitions matter a lot more than people thought they did. AOC and The Squad's endorsement of Sanders made all the difference to this campaign that started to struggle after his heart attack. The media cycle also matters and unfortunately MSNBC, CNN, and Fox hold a lot of power. You can't win an election by just relying on alternative media. It's pretty absurd to chalk up Bernie's loss to not talking about the rust belt a little more. You're obsessed with policy to the point where you have blinders on to everything else. Sometimes winning has absolutely nothing to do with policy at all. That is the lesson you need to come to terms with.
    23
  191. Right, it's a well known fact that all "civil wars" are started because of YMCA swim classes....  It has nothing to do with slavery or oppression....
    22
  192. Michael Brooks Forever... Also Read his book.
    22
  193. Let's make a couple things clear... 1. Just because nearly 90% of Canadians are vaccinated doesn't mean that the entire protest is made up of people who are not vaccinated. Lots of truckers and people who are vaccinated support the protesters based on principle. It's almost like saying the BLM protests were only supported by the 13% of black people in this country while ignoring all the white people who also participated in those protests based on principle. You could also pretend that the only people in favor of abortion rights are people who can get an abortion. 2. Why should a trucker be forced to test when "transmission" of the virus has nothing to do with whether you are vaccinated or not? We've already had multiple studies showing that vaccination does not stop transmission, at most it's a slight reduction. If you're actually concerned about stopping the spread, you would force everyone to be tested regardless of their vaccination status. It's especially nonsensical because truckers spend most of their time alone on the road. It should be obvious that this is not about science or protection, it's basically a pissing contest at this point.
    22
  194. Fox News and the Right wing MADE the caravan an issue to try to scare their base into voting and as soon as they get political backlash for it they suddenly try to blame the democrats for the caravan 😂😂😂😂 These people are insane....
    22
  195. Tulsi uses a lot of Republican talking points because she has always leaned conservative, she even used to date a republican congressman. I would not be surprised if she switched parties after 2020, because I do think she would run as a Republican if it helped her politically. The reason she went after Kamala and Warren after defending Biden is because she's angling to be his VP. People jumping on the Tulsi-train really need to look at her past comments on gay rights, torture, Syria bombing, government shut down, Israel, Kashmir, etc. As well as her waffling on Medicare for All.
    22
  196. LOL... You call me an "idiot" when you apparently have no idea that Bush handed Obama that deficit. Do you have any idea where the deficit even came from? If you cared, you would have seen the report from the CBO that explained clearly that It came from the Bush Tax Cuts and the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars. Obama cut the deficit he was given by a trillion dollars, meanwhile Trump just ADDED a trillion dollars to it. Do you not understand math? Gun Runner programs began by the ATF in 2006. Please explain what Obama has to do with a program he was never personally involved with? I'm amazed at how ignorant you people are, despite not knowing ANYTHING about these things you feel the need to call other people "stupid". The reason you call people names is because you know that your arguments are weak.. You simply swallow the bullshit propaganda you're fed day after day and you become emotionally attached to it.
    22
  197. The appropriate Response: Officer: "Hey. Yeah the store owner back there says that one of your kids took a doll out of the store. Does she still have it?" Mother: "Oh Really? Dammit... Sorry about that. Here it is." Officer: "No problem I'll just bring it back. Have a nice day." Generations of the animosity that black people have towards police could be avoided by police just treating people like human beings.
    21
  198.  @BrianWelsh-fx4st  Actually it was not clear at all and I'm still looking for a timestamp for the claim.
    21
  199. Tasers were supposed to be an alternative to shooting someone... Now they're just used whenever a cop doesn't feel like having a conversation.
    21
  200. Most of Ana's commentary for years has been "me me me me me....". She spent years just being able to talk in front of a camera properly, and when she finally became okay at it all she did was talk about her husband, her dog, herself, and inflate her ego. And Cenk followed right along. First he his ego trips were a joke and now his ego is his entire business model.
    21
  201. Effing traitors... traitors to this country and our allies. George Bush tarnished this country's reputation. Then Trump said "hold my beer and took a dump on the flag and everything it stands for.
    21
  202. First off not all scientists agree that GMOs are "perfectly safe". Secondly saying all GMOs are safe or unsafe is kind of a broad stroke... That's like saying "all medicines are safe". A lot of it depends on the item, what they are modified for, and what sort of things you're testing for to consider it "safe". Just because something that is genetically modified is safe today doesn't mean that everything genetically modified is safe today and forever in the future.
    21
  203. I really don't see how a doctor would make a silly claim like someone being able to live to be 200. Also I'm 6,3' and weigh 237 and I am nowhere near as fat as trump. Either he is shorter than he's claiming, or he has zero muscle, hollow bones, and an empty brain.
    21
  204. Reminds me of the early days of the Daily Show that was mostly a just a comedy show but turned to serious politics following 911 and became a small source of alternative news/opinions amongst a sea of corporate media. It easy to see how Americans were detached from the Iraq War. When it was a country halfway across the world with a completely different culture, and no military draft. Yet to see the same propaganda being effective for a war that's happening right on their border in a country where a lot of people have friends and family is pretty amazing.
    21
  205. There is a "Prisoner & Guard Experiment" that has been going on all over the country for decades. Police departments have become breeding grounds for sadists.
    21
  206. 21:17 The fact that Ben thinks that Israeli hospitals "treating Palestinians" demonstrates morality shows how racists he is... As if hospitals aren't supposed to treat all people by default. It's like someone saying "I'm a good person because I let black people swim in the public pool or use our bathrooms"...
    21
  207. They are both projections Sam... Probably using a laser system. So you can be pretty far away and still get a clear picture. The second one probably just looked dimmer because it was getting washed out by all the light.
    21
  208. Talk about "activism"... Get that guy off the school board. Why is someone so ignorant doing there if all he's doing is spreading hate, lies, and a political agenda?
    20
  209. JD Vance is not only angry, but he also pretends to be happy... So he has this weird angry/fake happy vibe that is just weird, awkward, and off putting. You can't have a real conversation with a guy like that because he just comes across as fake and two faced. Almost pychopathic.
    20
  210. Never mind the corporation raising prices. This will literally destroy millions of small businesses across the country because a lot of these businesses have products they manufacture in China or parts and ingredients that are sourced from other countries. The US doesn't have the ability or capacity to make more of these things.
    20
  211.  @rosariocannistraro3561  Probably because Oz was worse on those same issues. 🤷🏽‍♂ No one wants to talk about the issues people agree on unfortunately.
    20
  212. Imagine spending billions of dollars on a social media company while not knowing the first thing about making a social media company popular. Imagine doing that instead of feeding the hungry or eliminating poverty for a small country.
    20
  213. The gall he has to bring up "little kids blown to bits" over a decade ago while ignoring the tens of thousands of kids blown up and missing limbs today.
    20
  214. He is an American you ignorant racist jackass. This country is a melting pot, so xenophobes should GTFO.
    19
  215. What a hilarious interview... A true testament to willful ignorance. No wonder there is a downward trend on belief in this bullshit when you have people who decide to ignore the evolution of ideas and spirituality in favor of useless dogma. Jesus, Buddha, etc., represented an evolution of thought. However these guys would rather waste their lives worshipping a sky god and condemning others instead of discovering this truth within themselves.
    19
  216. TYT this is a complete logical fallacy... Letting a dog live that might have ebola is no the same as "valuing dogs more than humans". It's only morally equivalent if you allow dogs to live but euthanized humans. Clearly that's not what anyone has suggested here. You think the potential risk to humans is worth killing a dog, others think that the risk is minimal enough that the dog should live. Just because people have a different opinion on this than you doesn't somehow mean they hate humans and love dogs. Demonizing people in this way is completely unfair.
    19
  217. Funny how the same republicans who still chant "Benghazi!" after 9 investigations want to hide the Mueller report and don't even want to look at it.
    19
  218. Cops think they are working in a war and every citizen is a potential enemy.
    19
  219. Finally, an honest Troll.

  220. "The Left calls us Nazis and Racists, but your analogy calling the left Nazis was great Glen Beck" 🤦‍♂️
    19
  221. Steve King was saying this years ago... It's not like they were hiding their love for white babies.
    19
  222. We've already known this for 2+ years now... Every major study around the world was showing this. In fact many countries had polices that included natural immunity along with vaccination. It's only in this country where we had a CDC who relied on small short term studies that compared recent vaccinations to prior infections and used that to justify vaccinating everybody. This constant propaganda caused many of my friends to think that I was crazy when I kept quoting studies that clearly showed a long term effectiveness of natural immunity.
    19
  223.  @KingAgniKai  That may be, but it seems that Modi, Trump, and Bolsonaro all have the exact same attitude... Conceit, boorishness, and denial with a health dose of anti-science. Which all led to hundreds of thousands of their own people dying.
    19
  224. Sure, being stuck on a plane for your entire vacation sounds really fun.... At least with a cruise ship you can visit places and actually walk outside. There are hundreds of reasons why nothing like this will ever exist never mind teaching airline pilots complex aerial docking maneuvers 😂. But I guess everything is supposed to conveniently work through "AI" magic right? 🙄
    19
  225. Someone should have told them that white privilege doesn't work so well when everyone else is white...
    19
  226. Yeah because the hundreds of students, teachers, police, firefighters, reporters, and hospital workers are just all 'in on it". You guys are complete idiots.
    19
  227. Ana, there's a difference between platforming hate vs challenging hate.
    19
  228. It's funny when people pretend that corrupt politicians actually care about "people checking out of politics". As if that doesn't work to their benefit.

  229. Unfortunately there are a lot of dumb people in the US who voted for Bush and will vote for Trump

  230. +SilverAbsol 1. It's barbaric 2. It's expensive 3. It hasn't been shown to inhibit murder or crime in any way. 4. We've killed lots of innocent people

  231. Circuses drew thousands of people. Then came radio, TV, video games, internet, and endless porn.

  232. The crazy one. If you think weighing the issues and making a rational voting decision is the same as a lunatic talking about aliens, demons, and peddling constant fear, then I really question your sanity.
    18
  233. The fact is many people have conditioned themselves to get immediately defensive over the topic of race. ANY TYT video that mentions race at all, no matter the context or the topic immediately gets a certain number of dislikes because of this.   It is an irrational response based on the discomfort people feel over the topic itself.  So instead of discussion the issue they invalidate the topic by saying it's "playing the race card", inappropriate, etc.
    18
  234. Libertarians are like teenagers lashing out against their parents rules because they have no idea how good they have it. They use completely vague emotional terms like "freedom" and "liberty" because it feels good to say them, but as soon as you talk details that's when they start begging for rules, regulations, and government courts. There is a reason why "free market" is nothing more than a myth.  If the world was as simplistic and easy as their asinine "free exchange" examples.  Then millions of smart people that came before you would have figured the shit out a long time ago.   These guys need to understand the problems with capitalism (alienation, externalities, etc.) before spouting their simplistic nonsense.

  235. This is George Orwell 101.... No matter what happens in war, it's a good thing. No matter who dies in war or why, we must honor them no matter what. You basically create a situation where it is impossible to speak out against the totalitarian state because any loss or victory is seen as righteous.

  236. Furthermore, regardless of what's happening at the border, most people in this country undocumented flew in with a plane ticket and overstayed their visas.
    18
  237. Basically Cenk's response to Bennie leaving is: "You should be grateful I gave you a job" Can you imagine if the same thing was said by an employer if someone left because of racial bias or discrimination? Giving someone a platform doesn't mean a person cannot be hurt by the work environment they feel is being toxic towards them.
    18
  238. As long as "profit" remains the primary driving force in our economy you will always have corruption. Many of our laws and regulations exist simply to protect people from that incentive (theft, fraud, patents, etc.).

  241. It's interesting how when people voice opinions that are different from your own, or give air times to opinions you don't like, they're suddenly "panderers and grifters". I believe that's the case when it comes to Jimmy Dore or Dave Rubin, but I really don't think that of Joe Rogan or Russel Brand. They're already wealthy and established with no real reason to "grift". These are the same people you celebrated when they had opinions you liked. I really like you guys, but a lot of times there's a kind of elitism to your commentary that occasionally makes me cringe. Often times you act as if people who voice differences of opinion are not just wrong or have a disagreement, but they must be nefarious and morally corrupt in some way. I think this attitude turns a lot of people off. One of the things the things that I miss about Michael Brookes is that he often brought humility to the show and understanding where people are coming from. Instead, you tend to just jump down the throats of anyone moving a centimeter outside of your narrative and label them as monsters or idiots. A large part of the appeal of people like Rogan is not pretending he knows everything at every moment. Which makes him approachable. Like MB used to say "meeting people where they are" instead of just talking down to them all the time,

  242. Republicans are criticizing Trump for actually implementing the batshit crazy ideas they've been pushing for decades.

  243. Same. I was watching since 2005. I was a subscriber for many years, not for the extra content, but just to support TYT. That trans video made me livid... I'd love to see the data on canceled subscriptions during that time.
    18
  244.  @renee3356  Hard to get people to think for others when your whole brand is "freedom" and "individualism". The idea that we're all connected and rely on a society to survive is foreign to a lot of people. When a viruses and climate change wipes out most of the population, that's when people will finally go "Oh....." People have spent way to long in their little silos thinking that they have it all figured out.
    18
  245.  @Nanofuture87  Sure, because when people are trying to make as much money as possible they do things "voluntarily".... There's been a long history of companies doing everything "voluntarily" for health and safety of others at their own expense....
    18
  246. Sad are the people who comment and before watching a video to know what it's about. Sad are the people who think using the label "liberal" is a real argument.
    18
  247. I disagree with Cenk on the Marjorie Greene thing. It's one thing when you're using inflammatory language to make a point, the point is more important than how you got there. However if all you're doing is smearing people by calling them "liars" or accusing them of sleeping with spies, then you're not making a point you're wasting time. As a tax payer I'm not paying people to have food fights in Congress or yell "I know you are but what am I?" back in forth all day. There should be a high standard for members of Congress saying things that are true. Otherwise all the lunatics are going to go around calling people pedophiles.
    18
  248. And not a single policy was discussed that day. At most you get: "Good things = Trump, Bad things = Not Trump" These people are literally children looking for their next daddy.

  251. Hindsight is 20/20... There are millions of kids who are awkward and withdrawn. They don't all end up shooting people. Cursing your own child's existence and calling him evil to make yourself feel better or to get people off your back is pretty low in my opinion.
    17
  252. It's called context and nuance... The world isn't black and white no matter how hard pundits (including TYT) pretend it is.  At least TYT tries to call things how they are instead of just mindlessly cheerleading and demonizing.
    17
  253. Existential threat if you're in North America and Europe.... I'm sure the rest of the world is SUPER concerned about the sperm count of US and European citizens while they're dealing with the war and poverty caused by hundreds of years of imperialism, colonialism, and state backed capitalism inflicted by the US and various European countries.
    17
  254. Let's be honest here Jordan... You require "evidence" unless it's about Clinton or the Clinton Foundation. Where you were perfectly happy to spend months in pure conjecture with ZERO evidence. This is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance and self justification. I'm not saying there is something definite to Russia collusion or a Russian financial deal, but it's clear how closed your mind has been to this entire topic from the start purely because the Clinton campaign brought it up and you hate Clinton.
    17
  255. Hate to break it to you Ana.....  It's a celebrity culture and these are celebrity questions.  I'm sure it would be nice to live in a world where athletes are only asked about their athletic abilities, pop singers are only asked about their singing abilities, or actors are only asked about their acting abilities.  Sorry, but that's not the world we live in.
    17
  256. They're basically just animatronics.... Of all the improvements to AI and speech I have yet to see any significant improvements to facial expressions on animatronic like "robots", they've looked pretty much the same for decades. Realtime 3D rendering of CG characters has improved a lot. Might be better to just figure out a way of realistically projecting a 3D image onto these robots rather than trying to mechanically replicate every facial muscle.
    17
  257. Interesting how no one is looking for testimony of people regretting their breast implants or the millions of plastic surgeries done every year... I don't see Republicans questioning women with bigger breasts. Yet somehow the trans surgeries are the ones that need to be picked apart.
    17
  258. tbh you guys also spend FAR more time talking about "the fight" than what's actually in the bill. In all fairness we do watch your show for the entertainment value so I get it, but at the same time I do wish you would spend more time breaking down what's in the bill on a regular basis instead of just quickly listing a few things and then moving on to talking about "the fight".
    17
  259. It's sad because Anthony Weiner was one of the best progressive congressmen of his time. He went after Republican hypocrisy and championed progressive policy priorities better than anyone at the time other than Bernie. If his Weiner didn't get in the way, he literally could have been that one additional voice that could have changed the country.
    17
  260. e n o u g h, The unemployment rate was going down long before Trump. In fact Trump's biggest job gains have been lower than Obama's. The only thing Trump did was not crash the economy (yet) and fool people like you into taking credit for it.

  261. "Being a businessman is all the experience you need to be president." --Thought millions of idiots.
    17
  262. My reaction is that I have no idea what is going on in any of these clips.... Random people getting into fights during protests doesn't really say anything without context on how it started. Though the first one where people were harassed at a restaurant was certainly uncalled for.
    17
  263. Who the F are you talking about Ben?.... I stopped watching TYT main channel because of the host ranting and "shadow boxing" against nameless people with ZERO context and now you're doing the same crap. Keep in mind, Netanyahu SUPPORTED Hamas in order to separate Gaza from the West Bank and prevent Palestinian cohesion and the creation of a Palestinian state. Similar to how the US supported the extremists who became Al Qaeda when it fit our foreign policy only to have it blow up in our faces on 911. Saying the attack was "unprovoked" is like saying 911 was "unprovoked". In reality these things never started on the day the attacks occurred. Simply pointing this out or voicing support for Palestinians getting murdered, DOES NOT MEAN you "support the terrorists", this is the very same rhetoric that the Bush Administration used in it's war on terror to keep people from having an actual conversation beyond mindless warmongering.

  265. No one has even died from Omicron and everyone decides to freak out about it anyway.... Most cases are mild. Honestly, we should be hoping that a milder variant overtakes Delta. Gee, what's better? Having to get a booster every 6 months against Delta or having a milder form of SARS COV-2 overtake Delta and have it turn into nothing more than a seasonal flu or a cold?
    17

    17
  269. LOL... "It's not a Russia scandal because there was other stuff too". Please Kyle give it up.... You're sounding ridiculous. Only anything "non-russia" gets through your self imposed conformation bias filter. I'm sorry to say that listening to you trying to justify your original position over and over is just as painful as watching Fox News.

  272. lol... You think the name of a place determines "conflict of interest"? You must be a graduate from Trump University.
    16
  273. Mike Cavallaro It's called picking your 2nd choice or even your 3rd choice when your first choice drops out. Not sure why that's hard to understand. It's been happening in this country for over 200 years in case you didn't realize it.
    16
  274. Kyle, you're grading Trump on a curve just like most of the media.... He did make a couple good points on NAFTA, but what grates my nerves is the fact that a guy can spend the ENTIRE debate not giving A SINGLE SUBSTANTIVE POLICY IDEA on anything and bumble his way through facts and figures, yet somehow that passes for "doing okay". We've given this guy a really low standard to overcome. This country really should be ashamed of itself. Hillary may not be the ideal candidate, but she gave the policy substance, she talked about real plans and ideas LIKE AND ADULT and she stayed really progressive in her proposals throughout the entire debate..
    16
  275. When are you going to stop beating around the bush and wake up to what Hillary really is?
    16
  276. I bet that guy in the middle really wished he was sitting between Cenk and Jimmy Dore instead of the Buzz Kill Twins for this story....

  277. Trump rallies are like listening to a sad old comedian repeating the greatest hits from his glory days over and over.
    16
  278. Not sure why she has to buy prepackaged food... I'm not a zero waste person, but I still get veggies from my local farmers/CSAs. Coronavirus can live far longer on plastics than vegetables anyway, so I really don't get what she's doing. Also there's no such thing as "composting in your freezer" that's just storing food you don't want to eat.... Probably should expand on that more cause it was really unclear.
    16
  279. I didn't realize that "American values" were racism and fighting against people protesting against it.
    16
  280. So the next president can use Osha to mandate that workers can never get abortions? Or how about weekly drug tests for cannabis use? The "mandate" on its face doesn't make any sense for Osha. I can see mandating paid sick leave so that workers don't feel obligated to come to work when they are sick but mandating vaccinations or testing for every job regardless of the work environment, doesn't make any sense. It's basically abusing the function of Osha. Progressives want to blame everything on Senate Democrats not passing meaningful legislation, meanwhile we decided to make "vaccine mandates" and workers getting fired for not getting vaccinated the #1 issue in 2021. It's dumbest thing I've seen politically in the longest time.
    16
  281. You really don't need to teach about systemic racism and CRT when Republican white parents are doing such a good job showing perfect examples of it.
    16
  282. I call bullshit... 1. You're allowed to hit on someone, be rejected, and not have it be "sexual assault". 2. Being slightly uncomfortable in a situation is also not "sexual assault". 3. That rape allegation sounds like it is copied word for word from the same allegations made against Bill Cosby. Unless other women come forward or other people come forward to substantiate that claim, there is no way I'm going to believe it.
    16
  283. No human ever thought about creating a face with a round circle and two smaller circles before... Imagine drawing stick figures and a few centuries later people thinking you're drawing aliens.
    16
  284. Creating a 1 trillion dollar deficit by giving tax cuts to the rich while adding 80 billion to the Pentagon's budget, creates more debt. Gee who would have figured that would happen?
    16
  285. So we're defining "speech" as being able to run people over in your car now?

  286. It's funny how actually caring about people and wanting to fix an issue is always "politicizing".

  288.  @Cuban20  To be fair there are pandemic deniers all over the world. US politics just gets more publicity than most
    16
  289. How about we take half the money from the military and put it towards infrastructure and education? Instead of 5 billion for a wall. How about we put 5 billion towards making sure areas like Flint MI have clean water and children aren't playing on toxic land?
    16
  290. Trump Supporters who are Alex Jones listeners are quickly disliking this video because they actually believe that bullshit... When you don't deal in facts and science your first instinct is to identify a label (liberal, Marxist, Illuminati, Satanists, Socialists, Communists, Muslims, etc), pretend that the group is evil, and then pretend that they are colluding with other evil groups that are all out to get you. That way all of your problems are explained without actually needing to use your head.
    16
  291. Lots of women feel "empowered" by getting naked in front of strangers, then completely change their tune when people they actually know see them naked...

  292. There are so many landmines in the Trump candidacy ready to go off at any point. This only one in a hundred. Wait until we get to his tax returns. You think he's going to be president? Please.....
    15
  293. In other words the he wants to believe libertarianism is "Christian" so he chooses to ignore the parts of the bible which disagrees with his philosophy. Half the republican rhetoric is around the idea that the US is a "Christian nation".  Somehow it's ok to use this to justify abortion laws (not mentioned in the bible at all) yet is conveniently ignored when it comes to wealth and poverty (which is mentioned over and over).
    15
  294. Yeah I'm sure Starbucks discriminates against white people when like 99% of their customers are white.
    15
  295. It's the HUSBAND'S choice.  End of story.   We shouldn't be using brain dead women as a loophole excuse to create baby incubators because that's what we secretly want.   It's not YOUR life Cenk.  It's not YOUR child.  It's HIS.   Therefore the choice is up to him, not you, not the state.... Period.
    15
  296. I think TYT needs someone young and open minded on the panel.     Ana doesn't count....
    15
  297. The "far left" used to be groups like the Weather Underground that were literally bombing buildings in the 1970s to protest the war. Now according to Cenk, if you use the phrase "birthing person" you're now the crazy "far left". Meanwhile you have right wingers doing mass shootings, killing abortion doctors, murdering LGBT people, bringing back Nazism/Fascism, and you have the "mainstream" right wing believing in Q-anon conspiracies, thinks their political opponents are secret pedophiles, denies all election results, willing to vote for a criminal, and SOME think that Trump is secretly still the president and Obama murdered his chef on a paddle board... But apparently we have to be concerned about crazy lefties using the phrase "birthing person" and prison reform going too far... What a joke.
    15
  298. Imagine being so programmed by propaganda that a person simply stating facts makes you want to hurt them.
    15
  299. Just imagine if the only reason Jill Biden was in this country is because she worked as a model who posed nude, then caught the fancy of Joe Biden at a party who thought she was hot enough to fly her back and forth from Slovenia. But Noo... Jill had the audacity of working hard for many years to get a doctorate and make a career for herself.
    15
  300. I remember Meghan saying she was pro choice years ago. It's so obvious that money and influence is the only reason she is taking on these views. She is more than happy to support Trump's arguments so that she can shamelessly appeal to his base while Trump insults her dead father's memory.
    15
  301. Never mind the fact that what they call a "heart beat" is not even a "heart beat". It's the electrical signals of a bunch of cells that will eventually become a heart. It's not actually pumping blood, it's not actually making a noise.
    15
  302. K-pop is a corporate product so as long as it comes from a Korean corporation, it's K-pop.

  304. Being a police detective must be a real crap job if you suddenly think that cleaning up blood, guts, and crap for a living would be a better option.

  305. Have they not heard Tucker Carson's weird nervous maniacal Joker laugh?... I'm guessing that strange laugh will suddenly become "manly" and "powerful" if he ever runs for president.
    15
  306. 4 people died in Benghazi and the right wing spent years pretending to care about people dying, then when hundreds of thousands of Americans died from something entirely preventable they were told to not care. They only care when it's convenient to.
    15
  307. "Everything seemed great when I was a kid in the 60's so therefore we should have fascism again" "Immigrants are bad, never mind the fact that I'm an immigrant in Amsterdam" "We love peace, but will hate you for being a feminist, LGBT, and prevent people from mixing races by using violence and imprisonment"
    15
  308. I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton, but this bullshit double standard has got to stop.... The Clinton Foundation was never charged with any corruption or pay to play, what so ever. It has an A rating from multiple charity monitoring organizations. Meanwhile the Trump Foundation has been ACTUALLY charged and fined for numerous violations. People who worked for the foundation came out saying that it was "pay to play". Trump has shit in his house that he bought for himself using charity money. Not to mention filling his cabinet with Goldman Sachs execs, putting the head of the EPA a guy who wants to deregulate the EPA and take advice from the fossil fuel companies or putting the CEO of Exxon mobile as the secretary of state. So please spare me this fake neutrality bullshit. and pretending that "suspicion of corruption" is the same as ACTUAL corruption.
    15
  309.  @ytechnology  Honestly it does not matter if it was 1 tweet or a thousands tweets. That kind of reaction to criticism is entirely unhinged. Rational people explain their position, they don't just start screaming into the void because someone thought they weren't being critical enough. My response to anyone saying I'm not critical enough to someone who supports what's going on in Gaza would be "you're right", because it would be really hard to be too critical. But clearly Ana is more inclined to be hateful and mean spirited towards viewers and randos than someone like Shapiro.
    15
  310. That's not really a prediction, it's inevitable.
    15
  311. What he should have said was: "Guns ARE scary because they're designed to kill. I'm teaching people to keep themselves safe from accidents" By acting as if guns are not deadly and just "fun", he's not only being political he's deluding himself and his audience. I'm glad he mentioned safety later in the video, but I've never seen a group of people so invested in pretending guns aren't dangerous as gun enthusiasts.
    15
  312. Trump is a sociopath who cares more about his ego than any person he's ever met, including his wives and kids.
    15
  313. Spreading the misinformation that only unvaccinated people spread the virus is the reason why people get demonized. They can't just be making a bad choice for themselves; they have to be damaging to society in some way.
    15
  314. The thing is you don't even need to google "collective punishment" to know what it means... So it's pretty wild how Gutfeld can be so confused about it.
    15
  315. At one point tasers were meant to be an alternative to shooting a person... Now tasing is just how cops say "please". At one point "resisting arrest" that you were actually resisting an arrest for a crime that you committed.... Now it's just used to cover up police misconduct and abuse.
    15
  316. These days you can flip "Jews" with "Palestinians" and make the exact same commentary. Attacks against Jewish civilians are horrible, but attacks against Palestinian civilians are also horrible and most of those attacks and killings go unreported in international media. The enemy has always been the apartheid state. You failed to mention that Netanyahu also doesn't want a two state solution, and he has FAR MORE power and influence than Hamas. However a two state solution is not even possible so I don't know why you keep mentioning it. The "two state solution" is nothing more than an idea to kick lasting peace down the road every year without actually doing anything while million live in poverty and their land, dignity, and identity are stripped away.
    15
  317. Great advice! Also if you're dying of thirst in a desert, just drink a glass of water. And if you're poor and starving, let them eat cake!
    15
  318. If I were a Russian citizen watching rich influencers cutting up their Chanel bags in "protest" because thousands of dollars for a handbag means nothing to them. I would be getting the torches and pitchforks out. Those are some of the most entitled d-bags I've ever seen.
    15
  319. Tasers are supposed to be the alternative to killing a person, however most cops use it as an alternative to saying "please"
    15
  320. Cenk announcing: "We are the new establishment Democrats that looks at polling before deciding our positions. We are the new mainstream media that 'both-sides' everything". So much for "progress".
    15
  321. 04:12 Please don't say that it is possible that we could have "herd immunity by November". There is absolutely no evidence to support this. In fact there is evidence that herd immunity may not even be possible. By all accounts the winter is going to make this worse not better.
    15
  322. Umm... That's already been a thing for a long time. Renaissance fairs, Medieval Times and many other restaurants all over the country, not to mention that much of "american" cuisine is based on European dishes. White privilege is not noticing how European culture is the default pretty much everywhere.
    14
  323. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Sanders said... Most of you people bitching and moaning about him supporting the Democratic platform wouldn't even know who he is if it wasn't for the fact that he ran in the Democratic Primary. Sanders would not be where he is today if he didn't caucus with the Democrats and if he didn't run as a democrat. Sanders is coming from decades of experience, not 6 months of "feeling the Bern"
    14
  324. You have seriously flawed expectations if you think you can just get on a soap box and talk about how people should treat transgender people better without actually humanizing them first....   Piers was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in spending a lot of time talking about her transition and what she went though.  Janet Mock took a great opportunity and squandered it through her own hubris.
    14
  325. As long as we have a profit motive we will always have corruption.  As long as money is the most important thing in our society people will lie, steal, pollute, and corrupt to acquire more of it.  There really is no other outcome in a system like this.
    14
  326. Again...  The constitution DOES NOT distinguish between "non-citizens" and "citizens" when it comes to due process.  I'm glad there is outrage, but I am sickened when there is more or only outrage when it comes to "American citizens".  We don't need some tribalist jingoistic bullshit when it comes to killing innocent people.
    14
  327. So you can end homelessness by giving homeless people homes? No way...  that's way to logical to actually work...
    14
  328. Another racist idiot unable to answer a simple question about when he was personally oppressed on some way because he was white... Sorry but an actor saying something stupid on a show and somehow "hurting your feelings" doesn't hold a candle to the bias and imprisonment faced by minorities every day. The guy did not bring up a single logical argument in his racist diatribe.
    14
  329. Lol.. so since the investigation in to Mike Flynn revealed that he was also taking money from Turkey as well as Russia. Therefore the "Russia Thing" is nonsense? The only reason you don't see Trump as doing anything favorable to Russia is because you're fucking blind.... 1. He just handed classified information to the Russians and allowed their reporters unfettered access to the oval office. 2. They changed the republican platform to include removing those sanctions from Russia. SO THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY PLANNING ON DOING IT, but clearly they didn't go through with it because their has been so much media attention on Russia favoritism and on that policy issue specifically. 3. Trump appointed the CEO of Exxon mobile, someone who he didn't even fucking know (who received the Russia friendship medal), as secretary of state. He is was obviously put there to renegotiate that oil deal with Russia after the sanctions were lifted. If you don't see that there is something worth investigating. Then you're being willfully ignorant. You're ignoring the evidence just because it doesn't fit your narrative.
    14
  330. +Joeiscool4 It's really no surprise that a conservative would vote for someone for idiotic and irrational reasons. It happens all the time..

  332. Assalamualaikum means "peace be upon you" it doesn't mean "Would you like to join ISIS?" The genius of these Trump supporters is just amazing.

  333. Vengeance has no place in civil society....  Vengeance is the same emotion behind the US killing hundreds of thousands of citizens in Iraq, as well as Gitmo, Torture, Abu Ghraib.. Not to mention retaliation against the US like 911, suicide bombs, etc.  Humans commit the worst atrocities out of Vengeance (hate crimes, holocaust, Hiroshima/Nagasaki).  I'd take rehabilitation over Vengeance ANY DAY.
    14
  334. So we shouldn't ask for an investigation into Trump's ties to Russia because Trump is so temperamental that he might start a nuclear war because of criticism?..... Sorry that's not an argument Kyle. This shit should be investigated PERIOD. I seriously don't get this mentality that some on the left have which implies that simply because Hillary Clinton's campaign brought something up then it must be a non-issue. At some point you need to take your fucking Clinton hate blinders off and look at an issue for what it is.
    14
  335. Call me cynical....  But it wouldn't surprise me if the only reason the Romneys adopted a black kid was to get sympathy from minority voters for a possible future presidential run....   This is a guy who honestly believes that the main reason he lost the 2012 race is because he was white.

  336. If you're in a middle-class neighborhood the biggest crime in the country is disrespecting a police officer. It should be illegal for officers to charge someone with "resisting arrest" without first establishing a crime someone should be arrested for.
    14
  337. Obviously not, since Jordan was fired. Nice try.
    14
  338. The problem is that the caller is under the false impression that "the left" is united on this issue. There are many on "the left", like Ana from TYT, who downplay the right wing talking points and rhetoric which lead to violent attacks like this. You will not find solidarity from a "moderate left" who doesn't understand the issue and will only undermine your efforts in order to make themselves sound reasonable. The only way is to force people to listen regardless of their political ideology. This is what MLK understood. Bigotry and racism is not left/right issue regardless of how it leans heavily to the right.

  339. If that's what you got out of it this video you're a sad piece of shit.

  340. I'm a black dude and have a friend who is a white woman and her car broke down one day when she was out and about. She kept posting on social media about how she is so disappointed that she had been their for 15 minutes and a cop hadn't stopped to help her out yet. I was rather shocked because never in my life had I ever thought that a cop would randomly help me out on the road. In fact I've been in that same situation a few times in my life and I would be more concerned about a cop stopping to give me a ticket or ask what I was up to than to randomly stop to actually help... I was amazed at what a different world we lived in.

  341.  @BrianWelsh-fx4st  You're perfectly capable of looking at the thread you're responding to. I've never heard anyone calling Covid "vid" . Congratulations on understanding something nonsensical. However basic English would have been better than making up slang terms no one uses.

  342.  @JesseJames-vc2bm  No it's a book that was in some high schools, not elementary schools. But if you listen to Tim Pool he'll lie about it in order to make his dumb conservative points seem reasonable.

  343. Many people said the same thing about TV when radio was popular and video game consoles when arcades where dominant. The fact is you can create ten or a hundred 2D screens in a virtualized world. You really need to think outside the box, or in this case outside your one 2D screen.

  346. Nice shoutout to Haywire, definitely one of my favorite female led action movies. Pretty sad to see her downfall. WTH is a MMA fighter doing in this role? 😂 Like a lot of action stars Gina's talent was in her physicality. When these people go too far into drama it becomes cringe territory. Bruce Willis was never worth anything without lots of explosions, but at least he knew what his lane was.
    14
  347. The same people who pretended that Obama was a "dictator" stay silent while Trump literally shuts down the government to get his way over the will of the people and the votes in congress.
    14
  348. Ever since I was a kid I never understood why drugs were illegal, even though I never did drugs myself it seemed preposterous that the government could tell people what they could do in their private lives. I don't even drink alcohol, but when I found out that you can't buy alcohol on Sunday in certain places it was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard.
    14
  349. It's actually happened several times. Just Google "Cuomo Reporter". Not sure why people feel the need to pretend they are victims when they're not.
    14
  350. Cenk is right... There is nothing clever about Trump's strategy, he's just racist and dumb. So he's more than happy to exploit people who he thinks are lesser than him , however he's too stupid to understand the irony of using immigrants as an issue to campaign against.
    14
  351. 4 people die in Benghazi and the Right Wing goes crazy for YEARS, even after 9 or 10 investigations show no wrong doing on the part of the administration. Meanwhile 155, 000 people die from a pandemic with NUMEROUS facts showing how most of those deaths could have been prevented. The president is actively ignoring his own CDC leading to even more deaths and the Right Wing is just like "whatevs bro, people die, so what?" These people are literally traitors to this country.

  352. "Blood on your hands" is one of the most common political phrases there is. I would bet everything I own that Republican politician have used the phrase repeatedly. Especially when it comes to abortion.

  354. It's crazy to think Marianne would have done any better than Kamala. Sanders maybe. Williamson ran twice and didn't get any significant popularity. People thinking this was an election based on "who has the best policies" are living in a different universe.

  357. This is why I don't watch Jimmy's show. I appreciate him as guest, but the lengths at which he creates straw man arguments and cherry picks facts to create a conclusion is just annoying. I literally have not heard anyone say that the Russian Troll bots was the only reason why Hillary lost the election, and the idea that these troll and hacking farms wouldn't be funded by some Russian Oligarchs or the Russian government itself is pretty absurd.

  361. Crazy how visibly shaken the officer is because he knows he fucked up....
    13
  362. Pro Free Market?  Hardly.  Free Market is nothing more than a fictional concept.  In fact you could argue that all corruption is a "freer" market because by bribing politicians these corporations are simply paying for a service that politicians are selling.   No, any system needs to predicated on the idea that it benefits society.  It's time that people stop thinking that the only reason we're here on this planet is to "get rich quick"
    13
  363. Well Kyle, AOC is not a pundit. When you're a pundit it's much easier to sling mud from the sidelines with no consequences. I think withholding your blanket endorsement without completely undermining your party's elected leader going into the midterms, is probably the best strategy.
    13
  364. There are millions of people who will go to vote, recognize the name, and vote for that person. It is far more risky to gamble on someone who people don't know about than a name they recognize. The biggest problem with Biden is what is happening with Israel.

  365. If police stopped looking for crime, we would have no criminals.
    13
  366. If they can't tell the difference between Hamas and hostages what makes you think they can tell Hamas from civilians? This also comes after reports that at least 20% of IDF deaths have come from friendly fire and survivors of Oct 7th described how Israeli Helicopters and tanks killed Israeli citizens.
    13
  367. 05:18 At the same time Kyle, the system isn't going to magically change itself. You need people who are actually willing to change it.
    13
  368. Sy Sharp. Someone presents you facts and you return with a nonsense quip to make you feel better about yourself. Yup, pretty much sounds like your typical Trump supporting low information voter.
    13
  369. It's interesting that in 2019 Hillary Clinton was claiming that Russia was "grooming" Tulsi Gabbard. At the time it seemed to be a baseless accusation that came out of left field... Now, not so much.
    13
  370. Step 1. Right wing creates a culture war issue. Step 2. TYT starts adopting the language of that culture war issue. Step 3. TYT bashes their own supporters calling them "stupid" if they disagree with the culture war issue that the right wing brought up.
    13
  371. I honestly have no idea how Trump supporters can sleep at night or face their kids knowing what piece of crap traitors they are to this country... They put "team" and "sticking it to the libs" over truth and patriotism every single day.
    13
  372. Cenk was spot on about Kanye. As if it is somehow better that a villain got diagnosed with a mental illness as opposed to not being diagnosed. It's like if Hitler got diagnosed by a psychiatrist then somehow we should feel better about the holocaust. ALL villains ignore their mental health it's kind of their thing....
    13
  373. I never thought I would ever accuse Lauren Boebert of "taking the high road", but I guess when Godzilla is fighting Ghidorah you end up rooting for the less destructive monster.
    13
  374. People claiming "anti-Semitic" without realizing that Arabs are also "Semites". So when you don't care when Palestinians are killed or the conditions they live in, what does that make you?
    13
  375. This is America....
    13
  376. She wants to get attention by waving a Trump flag around in public.. Yet doesn't want to be recorded....
    13
  377. I like how Ana pretend that women don't criticize each other all the time. Women don't criticize each other on "womanliness", they're just far more detailed in their criticisms of other women.
    13
  378. Bragging about putting a man in space when the government did that 60 years ago.... 😂 And then it only took 4 years for the government to put a man on the moon.
    13
  379. Both sides do have problems. But comparing legitimate and documented cases of voter disenfranchisement to made up voter fraud by China and Venezuela is absolutely absurd and disingenuous. You don't get to "both sides" reality and lunacy just to feel good about yourself.
    13
  380. I just realized that DeSantis would make for a pretty good live action Homer Simpson if he was bald.

  381. Gee maybe you're having heart palpitations and trouble breathing because you have Covid... Nice job taking your mask off and screaming, putting anyone else around you in danger.... Even if you had Covid there is a chance you can get it again, just as there is a chance you can get Covid when you're vaccinated. These people need to grow up.
    13
  382. These are by and large low information voters. Do you honestly think that they are even fully aware of what's going on? The mistake that the left makes is thinking that everyone is as informed as they are.
    13
  383. I just say "Why would anyone want to pay more for less service?..." We pay more money than other countries simply so that insurance companies can profit by limiting the money they give to hospitals and doctors.
    13
  384. Theoretically Tulsi's parents should support Bernie when she drops out, but sadly her parents are rather right wing so they probably wouldn't support any progressive if they weren't related to them.
    13
  385. 1. Destroying up your own photo before it is developed, is no one's business but your own. 2. If someone came up to you and took your photo and ripped it up. That would be a crime. 3. If the government forced you to shoot and develop every picture in your camera because "all pictures are precious". That wouldn't be cool.
    13
  386. Obama definitely took a secret trip back to his home, put on scuba gear, and pulled him under water. All because of that one time he was really craving fish sticks but was instead served chicken fingers.

  387. Warren is still my second choice and this is one reason why she's my second choice.

  388. I'm used to the the right wing making up a wedge issue. However when people on the left capitulate and legitimize that issue is when I get truly demoralized.

  389. "I'll get you my pretty.... and your little dog too!"
    13
  390. Wow can't believe how simplistic you're looking at this Kyle... The main reason why Trump resonated was because he was an outsider and a populist. In 2020 That's not going to be the case anymore. He's going to be a president with an actual record and a slew of failed policies. Secondly the other reason why Trump won is because the GOP vote was split between so many similar candidates (Kasich, Rubio, Cruz, etc.) that only the populist was able to galvanize enough votes to win. If it were Kasich vs Trump, Kasich would likely win. If it were Kasich plus a lot of other similar (and sane) GOP candidates vs Trump then Trump has a much better chance. People already have buyers remorse over Trump and are going to be sick of Trump after 4 years. His support even among his supporters has been dwindling. The fact that Kasich is polling better anywhere against an incumbent who just won the presidency and is on the news 24/7 should be alarming to anyone.
    13
  391. I don't think you can call yourself a "socialist" without fist defining exactly what that means, because it means different things to different people. Also I think Emma has a valid point about the order of things. Do you want to give unlimited control to a corrupt institution?
    13
  392. I can imagine if Schindler's List came out in 2023, Ben Shapiro would call it "woke garbage"....
    13
  393. She's right... Trump is your normal every day clown, just like her.
    13
  394. I voted for Ossoff!
    13
  395. Also apparently these people don't realize that most people in BLM protests were white people.... So they somehow think that white people were trying to put themselves in gas chambers.
    13
  396. The response to Bloomberg should have been: "So if Hamas was hiding at your child's school would you give the order to blow up that school?"
    13
  397. To be fair Piers Morgan is a bit less of a dick on this issue these days. I think this conflict has humbled him a bit. Don't get me wrong, he's still a dick, just less so.
    13
  398. Warren should definitely be on the list, but I actually wouldn't count out Michelle Obama. 1. She is reportedly more progressive than her husband. 2. She comes across as authentic far more than any politician. 3. "Star Power" shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it does. It's not like this country has ever elected an actor or reality TV star or anything....
    12
  399. Funny how the Republicans suddenly don't care about the debt/deficit when under Obama they were literally willing to shut down the entire government because of it. Suddenly now it's okay to give tax breaks, infrastructure bills, and dramatically increase military spending without even a peep about the debt.

  402. Correction: Maher vilified the "Bernie or Bust" crowd. He dd not vilifying Bernie supporters. The title is completely misleading.
    12
  403. Sorry, but those of us pushing for this investigation all along already knew there was more to it than the simplistic bullshit that Kyle was making it out to be. We already knew they would be looking into Trump's financials because we knew his businesses were getting funded by Russian oligarchs. We already knew that his campaign staff had questionable financial ties Russia. We also knew that Trump's campaign was responsible for changing the RNC platform to be more pro-Russia and to get rid of the sanctions, for absolutely no real reason. We also knew that a lot of other corruption would be uncovered once those financials were finally disclosed. If it makes you feel better to jump on the bandwagon now that it's finally happening great..... but please spare me the excuses. If Kyle had his way there wouldn't be an investigation and instead we would just be bitching about the Hillary Clinton and the democratic establishment for the next 4 years.
    12
  404. The racists that always come out to play during these videos are so sad...
    12
  405. "Hillary is gone" yet somehow you bring her up every time you discuss Trump's corruption.... why is that? The election ended 3 months ago. Furthermore Hillary's conflicts and possible corruption was never anywhere near Trump's actual corruption. Somehow it's a bad thing that the Clinton Foundation was "large" but somehow you gloss over the fact that Trump was fined for using his foundation Illegally. Did the Clinton Foundation have donors complaining that their funds were misused like with the Trump Foundation? Nope. Not saying that Hillary didn't have issues, but it was clear that you were completely one sided in your Hillary Bashing during the election when it was obvious that Trump was "*actually* corrupt" rather than "seemingly corrupt" as with Hillary.
    12
  406. Just like the founders intended this legislation will be based on the pressure of a few multinational corporation rather than the democratic will of the people. Excellent. That Boston Tea Party sure did change how government works....
    12
  407. Literally no one is saying that you traitor.
    12
  408. Sorry, but Dany's goal was always the throne. It wasn't never to "give everyone a voice". She never once operated like a democracy in any way. She was a character that allowed you to project your hopes and aspirations to. Just like many of our politicians who say one thing because it's popular and gets them elected and end up doing something else entirely. Maybe that idea hits a bit close to home for you, idk.
    12
  409. Why is it that all the candidates I donate money to end up losing.... Depressing... I can't imagine how distraught she must be, but I know she'll come back fighting.
    12
  410. Sexual harassment in Hollywood? No way..... I'm shocked.....
    12
  411. She should buy a shirt that says: "I hate it when people I don't like are allowed to buy things"
    12
  412. Wait... We're supposed to "both sides" between genocide and not genocide? Did we "both sides" segregation, apartheid, and Jim Crow? People have the right to ignore garbage opinions and it's been clear from beginning that Israel has directly targeted civilians, hospitals, places of shelter, and doing collective punishment. You can't make peace by killing the people you want to make peace with Ben.
    12
  413. It's funny how the Right Wing doesn't care about the 640 million dollars that Ivanka and Jared made while working as White House advisors...
    12
  414. I really hate this vaccine culture war we're in. I hate it... Keep in mind guys... Even if you're vaccinated YOU CAN SPREAD THE VIRUS. You are less likely to spread it, but not by a huge degree. Wearing a mask and testing regularly does far more to protect people at a hospital than being vaccinated or not. People pretend as if the vaccines prevent you from catching and spreading the virus when they don't. They reduce the likelihood of symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths, but all that means is that someone feeling fine can walk around spreading the virus and not know it. Question: we've lived with this virus for nearly 2 years has the data actually shown any significant number of Covid cases coming from hospital workers transmitting Covid to patients, or are we simply creating a policy to solve a problem that doesn't exist? This reminds me of Conservatives creating Voter ID laws because of non-existent voter fraud.
    12
  415. Apparently there's no value in having regulations, certifications, and standards for doctors, lawyers, drivers, etc. because criminals will ignore them.
    12
  416. Guns are in fact dangerous, even if you have "the proper training". Just because I use a kitchen knife every day doesn't mean I can't cut myself at some point. Just because I drive a car doesn't mean I can't be in a car accident. Yet these things are for preparing food and transportation whereas guns, especially assault style weapons, are specifically designed to kill lots of people in a short amount of time. To delude yourself into thinking they are "perfectly safe" is a mental disorder.
    12
  417. Sorry, but this sounds like a load of bullshit to me. All she's doing is Taking "Medicare for All" and adding "extra" to it so that it doesn't sound like a give away to private insurance.... She never answered the question of how they would track whether someone has insurance through their employer or how they would handle paying premiums. And the idea that it would be more cost effective than a Single Payer system when not everyone is in that system is total bullshit Having the administrative costs of managing premium payments, figuring out who is in Medicare and who isn't, and handling any fines, delinquent payments etc. Is not more cost effective, sorry. If your argument is "well we tax the rich more" then "so what" we can tax the rich more too. Medicare For All doesn't prevent changing the tax code. The best way forward is to move everyone into Medicare for All and then leave private insurance to pick up anything that Medicare doesn't cover. If employers want to offer some kind of insurance that covers eyebrow replacement or some shit then fine. However trying to piecemeal things just muddies the water both politically and policy-wise.
    12
  418. Completely agree with Dave Rubin... If we can wake up enough people in this country then things like "racism" and "inequality" just wouldn't exist. I think we should nationalize a company like Folgers, Maxwell House, or even Sanka. Then we can make sure that every American has enough coffee in the morning to fully "wake up" and start their day. When Ahmaud Aubrey was chased down, shot to death, and his murderers were let go, something like that just would never have happened if everyone in GA had enough simulants in their system. These are scientific and high minded ideas is what I'm trying to say.
    12
  419. Actually the worse I've seen was that white guy who was shot at point blank in a hotel hallway... He was in tears trying to the best of his ability comply with the officer's complex orders before being shot dead. Yes statistically this happens more often to minorities, but that shit still haunts me today.
    12
  420. You can also blame Kamala for refusing to distance herself from Biden's policies on Gaza.
    12
  421. I don't want kids. I have no paternal instincts what so ever, but hearing that causes me to shudder and throw up a little 🤮
    12
  422. It's pretty amazing to me that there are people who actually think that a country having periodic armed insurrections is a desirable form of government... There are countries all over Africa, middle east, South America, etc. that have had armed coups and insurrections, do you think they are better off because of it?
    12
  423. Sorry Hannah, it is the fault of the women for wanting to be judged based on their appearance. Is the CEO a douchebag? Was Trump a douchebag when he ran Miss USA? Yes, but the contest itself is going to attract those kinds of douchebags who objectify woman based on appearance. You can't really fault a pageant for "fat shaming" anymore than you can fault Simon Cowell for shaming bad singers or Gordan Ramsey for shaming bad cooking. Just because you can get scholarship money from a pageant doesn't make them great, you can also get through college through stripping.
    12
  424. The irony of bigots, who are against Omar only because she is a Muslim, calling her "anti-semetic". Shame on the democrats feeding the hate and bigotry in this country.
    12
  425. I hate the way TYT loosely throws around the word "journalism". "Asking questions" is not "journalism". Finding answers to questions and presenting those facts is "journalism". I enjoy Jimmy when he's coupled with people who actually do the research and present the facts. I don't like Jimmy when he's just ranting and making stuff up as he goes along.
    12

    12
  428. I've been with you guys for most of that 21 years... If you were open minded you wouldn't call people "selfish", "idiots", and attack them for simply trying to be inclusive. The reality is YOU are the only one yelling at people. What you're NOT doing is addressing the actual concerns of your audience, your own contributors, and Bennie who left. Instead you're dismissing those concerns by claiming she called you "evil", etc. I am SUPER disappointed in you Cenk.
    12
  429. For some reason Kyle thinks that a republican appointee not finding evidence that can be use in a prosecution is the same as the entire investigation being "nonsense". Yet on the other hand he feels that investigations into the Clinton foundation that didn't turn up anything, means that it is still "corrupt" regardless of the outcome. Kyle likes creating a narrative and sticking to it no matter what and his bias against other media clouds his judgement.
    12
  430. You had PLENTY of chances to speak. It's because your points were incoherent and nonsensical. Your "examples" of libertarian societies are only examples that ignore the clear cases of either government or communal efforts in those societies. Guess what? Our society and economy today is a million times more complex than it was in 3500BC or even 1800. You people are like teenagers who simply take for granted the roof over their head without having any clue what it took to get it. Then you scream "I don't want any rules!" Humans have by and large ALWAYS lived in tribes and those tribes had structure, rules, and communal efforts that benefited everyone. In fact those societies that you claim are libertarian had far less "freedom" than we do today. The reason you only mention "ancient" societies is because we know little about how they function, so you're able to project onto them your Utopian fantasy that never really existed. However our modern concepts do not apply at all to these ancient societies governed by family, religion, customs, superstitions, etc. Governments are simply extensions and a more complex form of the same tribal, clan, and family concepts that humans have had for thousands of years. It is practically built into our DNA. The only reason humans have language, bonds, and tribalism is to reinforce these societal constructs. That have been the very key to our survival. However the latest incarnation of that tribal union that we call "government" is currently corrupted by private systems and money. We have no check on the power of money, the accumulation of property, or the major influence it has on our governing systems. Throwing what little government checks we have away and insuring that the wealthy have more power and influence is not somehow the answer to our problems.

    12
  432. Do we really want a judge who is that emotional? This guy was more emotional than the woman who was almost raped... Sorry, but I want a judge who is objective in stressful situations, not someone who breaks down and is driven by personal feelings.

  433. Walter wants to sit around philosophizing with no practical applications what so ever.
    12
  434. That's literally the story of his entire life... Which s why he went bankrupt 6 times and has 421 million dollars in personal debt. He's never wanted to do real work, he just wanted to play "businessman" his whole life using daddy's money. If NBC didn't come along and give him a show, he would have faded away a long time ago. Fun Fact, the guy who put him in the Apprentice is now the CEO of CNN and one could almost argue that all the free coverage that CNN gave Trump during the 2016 election put him over the edge to be president.
    12
  435. Tuyen Le Playing the victim, typical Trump supporter. Where exactly did I insult you? By explaining how polls work? 😂 Again, if you’re so confident how much do you want to bet?

  438.  @JohnDavis-ez9jl  People call others racists when they do and say racists things. You're like a child who wants discuss adult things, but all you know are the words.
    12
  439. Regardless of whether Giuliani is guilty or not, it's pretty stupid for him to represent himself seeing has his track record for winning any case has been piss poor lately...
    12
  440. Cenk spoke out passionately against the Iraq Invasion when it had a 70% approval at the time. Now he thinks that an issue's popularity should determine someone's position on it. This attitude is literally *no different than Nancy Pelosi, Clinton, or Obama's * attitude when it comes to politics and how they "evolved" on gay marriage when the polls told them to.
    12
  441. It's interesting how they don't tell her to "shut up and be grateful for being in this country" like they do to Ilhan Omar... Shouldn't they say something like: "How dare she have the audacity to criticize American education?" 🤔
    12
  442. At the end of the day you're waving a stick around that you touch people with. It doesn't really matter if that stick is metal, wood, or plastic with LEDs. The guy going on about "tradition" is forgetting the fact that in 2019 people aren't walking around defending themselves with swords. It's all just pretend, no different than lightsabers.
    12
  443. Ironically.... Telling people to "shut up and appreciate what you have without question" is exactly what authoritarian regimes do.
    12
  444. Cenk,  I'm in favor of a system that WORKS not a system I imagine based on my person opinion of "balance".....
    11
  445. BILLIONS have been made in the porn industry using "the babysitter", "the cheerleader", and dozens of other representations of 16 year old girls that are simply played by older porn actors who look extremely young. It seems odd to throw a guy in jail for viewing the same scenario that millions of guys fap to every day... Obviously children shouldn't be exploited for porn however I have a big problem with throwing people in jail for simply looking at something they found online. It's the same as criminalizing "thought".
    11
  446. The fact that Bernie would have made a stronger candidate doesn't change the fact that Clinton was the nominee. Maher is not talking about the PRIMARIES he's talking about the fucking ELECTION. However you guys are going to spend the rest of your lives reliving a primary and pretending as if someone could have snapped their fingers and made Bernie the nominee when he had very little chance of winning. No one made up those huge losses he had early on in the southern states. The fact is people like you spent most of your time bitching about Hillary and you pretended that her policy ideas where not SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than Trump's, and that somehow her Wall St. speeches from years ago were somehow worse than Trump's CONSTANT corruption. People like you effectively suppressed the vote on the left and you let a fascist buffoon in the white house.
    11
  447. Sorry Cara but "commanding the room" is a form of aggression to me. Anytime you force your will on others you are taking an aggressive stance. Just because you're not punching people in the face doesn't mean you're not being aggressive. "Being mean" is how a non aggressive person interprets being assertive.
    11
  448. But obviously Hillary is more corrupt because someone gave to her charity to help poor people.
    11
  449. So I guess we aren't diverse enough if we have male and female bathrooms? Sorry Kyle, this is where you're hatred for religion gets in the way of your common sense... In Canada (like the US) Mosques are private institutions that people can voluntarily attend. Many religions have different rituals based on gender it doesn't mean that women are oppressed or they are somehow "intolerant". This is really just an example of you enforcing your standards on others. You want "the militant left" and be like "your culture sucks, your religion sucks, sorry I'm not coming your mosque unless the women and men can sit together". No Kyle that's not being "liberal", that's just being an asshole. The Ironic thing is that you're being the intolerant one here because apparently "women and men not sitting together" offends you so much that you wouldn't even speak there.
    11
  450. Here's the funny part.... Beanie sanders has had a political career since 1980. Hillary has had one since 2000. Yet somehow she's the more electable one and knows how governing works.
    11
  451. Why is Trump a sociopath? Because he wants poor people to die in order to make himself look good.
    11
  452. That's no a mansion. That's just some dude's ramshackle shack.
    11
  453. +soxdude 5 [face palm]...... First amendment also covers making any law respecting an establishment of religion. Perhaps you should read the amendment before calling people a "dumbass"....
    11
  454. Not sure why so many people are triggered by a food preference...
    11
  455. Actually Cenk, the number of households with guns have gone down...   We are at a 30 year low.  So I think this has more to do with the militarization of the police, they much more predisposed to thinking every situation is a deadly one....
    11
  456. I think you are confusing racism with criminality.   Racism doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to a white guy"....   
    11
  457. The Zeitgeist Movement has been telling you this for years Cenk.... Peter Joseph told you this when you interviewed him... Money is an addiction and competition for money for the sake of money is a disease. The profit motive is the root of corruption and reinforces endless greed and endless consumption.  This is the culture WE created and Wall St, The Fed, Enron, Factory Farming, GMOs, Gulf Oil Spills, Global Warming, Citizens United, etc. are the result.
    11
  458. Conservatives always obsessed about what other people do in their private lives because "freedom"...
    11
  459. Me in 2005: I seriously don't get how the Republican party can blindly support Torture, an Illegal war in Iraq, indefinite Detention, and warrantless wiretapping. Me in 2020: I seriously don't get how the Republican party can blindly support separating kids from their parents, obstructing justice over and over, extorting a foreign country to create a scandal for you political opponent, openly promoting racism and violence against black protestors and anyone who supports them, Ignoring a virus and letting hundreds of thousands of their fellow Americans die, and literally undermining democracy itself. Not saying the Democrats are perfect by a long shot, but damn the Republican party is EFFED UP....
    11
  460. Even if she started lunging at him with a pot of boiling water like what's the worse that could happen? He might get a burn on his arms? maybe?... That's worth taking someone's life? Some people join the police just to have power over other people and to kill. Our society has allowed this evil to fester.
    11
  461. Tell that to Philando Castile who was only in proximity to his gun and still got shot. When there are guns involved, no one is safe, and everyone is a threat.
    11
  462. 02:15 ... I 100% AGREE with that Trump supporter. LGBTQ doesn't need to be everyone else's business. SO STAY THE EFF OUT OF IT! If you don't like pride merchandise, don't like drag queens, or trans people. Then LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE and stop pretending as if they have some sort of impact on YOU.
    11
  463. Pretty sad that you think someone tripping over something on stage is more important than national security.... You can find videos of him tripping all over. "Stage fails" doesn't exactly require a deep discussion or anything..
    11
  464. Weird... A leader who actually cares when people are dying. Did you not translate the part where she says this is all "fake news" and that the only reason they have more cases is because they're testing more?
    11
  465. 03:18 "When you look at the details" when Pro-Israeli protest chants "no ceasefire".... Yet when pro Palestinian protesters call for a "ceasefire" you immediately act as if they're calling for Israel to not have any defense. Gee Ben, maybe you should "look at the details of what people are getting from reading the letter instead of acting as people are all okay with terrorism. You say "people should talk" instead of resorting to violence and then when they do talk you immediately start calling them "terrorist sympathizers" GTFO. You're entirely wrong on this issue.
    11
  466. NO ONE is asking to put trans sports on the ballet in 2024. WTF are you talking about? Just because someone has a view on a subject doesn't mean they expect people to VOTE ON IT. I don't know if you know this, but sports teams are not actually run by Congress. However by acting as if this is a real issue you are doing the work of the transphobes who use this as a wedge issue and not being a real journalist. The "framing" should not be "look at these crazy trans far lefties looking for more rights". The framing and the politics should be "these sports teams are private organizations who set their own rules". INSTEAD you use it as opportunity to attack your own base and punch down for no god damn reason.
    11
  467. Crowder tears are a helluva drug.....
    11
  468. Guy: I just got this big check for discrimination. Bank: Why would a black guy have such a big check? Must be Fraud. Lawyer: How about another check for discrimination?
    11
  469. When you're black you look at bit more "fiery" and "thunderous" to certain people... If you're Tucker you can be as misogynistic, racist, and xenophobic as you want until you help lose 800 million dollars.
    11
  470. Sam Seder makes a great point that even if you have an exception for "life of the mother", doctors don't exactly know where that line is. It's not like there is a test where you 100% know whether someone is going to die in childbirth or not. Do you think hospitals or doctors will risk jail if they think it's 50/50? So it's a nice talking point, but in practice it doesn't really mean anything.
    11
  471. Dude’s like: “I just wanted to create a sensationalistic title to clickbait people with. Why are you busting my chops and calling me out on my bullshit?” 😂
    11
  472. I like how the right thinks that Democrats are weak, feeble, and dumb and then somehow suddenly they become all powerful and brilliant at manipulating everything behind the scenes and can casually orchestrate coups in Russia just because they don't like what the press is saying that week 😂
    11
  473. Tasers were supposed to be an alternative to shooting someone. Now tasers are just how cops say "please"....
    11
  474. Dude came correct with his questions tho... Cudos to Ady.
    11
  475. No surprise since the prime motivation of almost all republicans is *fear*. Cling to religion out of fear, cling to guns out of fear, afraid of minorities, afraid of government, afraid of secret conspiracies, afraid of truth. There's almost nothing that republicans aren't scared of.
    11
  476. Been a pastor for 30 years, preaching regularly at a historic Church = Not a good Christian.... Never talked about God until he started running for office as a Republican = The second coming of Christ....
    11
  477. I like how the cop threatens to break the window multiple times when she already has the door open...
    11
  478. There are tens of millions of men in this country who have wives/girlfriends with bodies like that, they don't need to talk about how awesome they are just for being attracted to them. The whole instagram account is cringeworthy.
    11
  479. I always new it was bull$hit.... I just exercise at night. You don't need a specific time for anything as long as you're consistent about it and don't stress yourself too much with erratic sleep patterns.
    11
  480. Being a "cyber security expert" for Mike Lindell must be one of the easiest jobs in the world... Those guys must have the biggest grin when looking at their bank account.
    11
  481. Huh? I can show you lots of Israeli rallies calling for not only genocide of the Palestinian people but death to all Muslims. Never mind the fact that there is an active genocide taking place right now. You must be in a bubble Ben. That pro-Israeli protester was not "beaten to death", that is a complete lie. Not only that a pro-Palestine protester was trying to help the guy and sat with him until the ambulance and police came. What do you say to the Ethiopian jews who were given contraceptives against their knowledge in order to keep them from having black babies in Israel? Never mind the daily ongoing racism towards Ethiopian Jews. Yes, there are LOTS of good Jewish people and most of them are on the side of freeing the Palestinian and against ongoing apartheid and against settlements.
    11
  482. Trump Supporters just want a meaningless wall around a shithole country.
    11
  483. People who support a UBI are just imagining having an extra $1000 in a country that doesn't have a UBI... As soon as you give EVERYONE in the country an extra $1000 a month, then rent and various other prices are just going to skyrocket and then you'll have inflation, because you've artificially increased demand. Then over the next few years all of our safety nets are going to get weaker and weaker. Giving everyone money an leaving it up to the market to take care of everybody is kind of a horrible idea. It's far better to make required services free (like healthcare, food, shelter, and education) and leave the rest up to market forces.
    11
  484. So according to Adrienne men are single because they are bad people. Never mind all the women who constantly date jerks. It's only because you are inadequate.
    11
  485. Mark my words.... a year from now a lot of these Trump supporters and Trump apologists will pretend they were never supporting him and that he was never a real Republican. Many will even pretend Trump was a secret Democrat.
    11
  486. Yes the caller is confused, and religion made him that way.
    11
  487. It always amazes me how proud Republicans are at being profoundly stupid. They are literally proud of the idea of doing nothing to protect themselves and people around them.
    11
  488. You sound like a crazy person.
    11
  489. Taibbi literally responded to a tweet about Modi and said he would go on Hasan's show to "talk about it" and then had no idea what Hasan was talking about when he brought it up. wtf dude.....
    11
  490. Actually, the bubonic plague came from fleas on the rats, not the rats themselves. These fleas are also carried by dogs and cats who can also transmit all sorts of diseases to you. Never mind the fact that most diseases people get are from other people.... Colds, flu, (COVID), and hundreds of other diseases.
    11
  491. I've been with you guys since 2005. From seeing this crazy Turk shooting shows in his living room to a media empire at the forefront of online media. You are the epitome of success while maintaining your integrity. Congratulations.
    11
  492. The entire Republican party is based on lying to their voters.
    11
  493. Literally got into an argument with an evangelical friend of mine, who is a woman, that did not know that what they call a "fetal heartbeat" is a lie because there's not even a heart at that point and it's not even a "fetus" yet... However she was completely brainwashed from all the propaganda she got telling her there's a little person inside someone's belly. Even told her there is nothing against abortion in the Bible and she spent two weeks trying to convince me otherwise and she couldn't find a single thing other than a feeling based on a vague interpretation of the Bible...
    11
  494. I like Asafoetida a lot, I use it all the time. Do you normally bite into a garlic clove or a pepper corn? There aren't many spices that people just start chewing on directly... So it's kind of odd to do that. 😅
    11
  495. So let me get this straight... It's okay for the government to take away a poor person's freedom as well as their voice (for the rest of their life in many cases). Yet the people who run corporations who have been caught polluting rivers, causing cancers, destroying families, crashing the economy, are not only allowed to vote they are allowed to manipulate politicians and change laws in their favor. Yeah that TOTALLY sounds legit....
    11
  496. Trump didn't even play the long con, he played the short con and people still fell for it.
    11
  497.  @Free2_express08  No one identifies themselves as "a person with a uterus", especially not trans people. That's the problem with Ana's entire twitter post. She's completely misrepresenting the situation. She's acting as if a description of someone's biology is the same as an identity. Just like a person with breasts might have to deal with breast cancer, or a person with blue eyes has to worry about their eyes getting too much UV exposure. That does not make those things an "identity".
    11
  498.  @wolfydz1239  You say "no offense" while purposely creating an offensive comment. Someone tells you about the most intense moment they've had in their life and you decide that it must be something else simply because they are Latino. That's got to be the most ignorant thing I've heard all week.
    11
  499. If they really wished they were circumcised that can easily go to a doctor and get that done.... However the opposite is not true. I think those men are just trying to make you feel better about yourself.
    11
  500. She's viscerally reacting to the fact that Hillary Clinton ran against Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary before she went on to lose the 2016 election to someone like Donald Trump....
    11
  501. An entire segment about a scientist who raps without actually getting to hear her rap.. NowThis can be really irritating sometimes.
    11
  502. @Mary Antonio Sorry, but someone who thinks that only one field of science is relevant to an issue, comes across as a boy who learned a factoid in school and just repeats it over and over because that's all he understands. Ben already owned himself, Neil was just pointing it out.
    11
  503. If you support Sanders and you're not supportive of this plan, then you're not a real Bernie Sander supporter.... Bernie has ALWAYS been about the policy over himself and I can guarantee that he is just as excited about this proposal as anyone. We need to have two strong progressives take out Biden and Buttigieg and their entire establishment mindset once and for all. In my mind this is ammunition for BOTH Warren and Sanders and I can't wait for them to use it in the Atlanta debate.
    11
  504.  @CCasket  So talking about an issue and making it a priority is somehow worse than not talking or doing anything about it at all... Got it. Typical Trump logic that doesn't need to make sense to anyone outside the bubble.
    11
  505. Biden could walk on water and the conservative media would say he's possessed by demons. It doesn't matter if the reconciliation bill was passed because conservative media would STILL depict it as destroying the country and CNN, MSNBC, and even some progressive outlets will follow along with the talking points just like they have with "cancel culture", Afghanistan, CRT, inflation, etc. Obamacare probably saved a couple hundred thousands lives since it was passed, but Republicans still used it against Democrats. Unless you are out there manically repeating your message over and over, it's never going to get through. Trump is insane but his insanity was effective at getting a message out and breaking through the media blockade. That's the lesson that Democrats need to take from all this, instead they pretend that its still 1992.
    11
  506. It seems like Cenk keeps saying "Ana's not wrong on this point" or "Ana's right" just to keep her from getting upset... Yet Ana never does the same and barely even acknowledges anything that Cenk says. A female friend of mine pointed out how she's very different with John than she is with Cenk. You're not going to win anybody over by coddling Republicans by saying things like "Oh they have a point here because there's an obscure story about someone on the left doing something bad". Ana has done this several times and it's pretty infuriating because Republicans aren't talking about some obscure San Francisco story or some random person on the left on Twitter.... The "Carrot & Stick" approach does work with some people. I don't mind making a generalization (that fits) as long as you can follow it up with a solution or mutual goal. Which Cenk does all the time. However constantly capitulating various ideas and adopting Right wing catch phrases to appeal to Republican voters (as they both have done) is pretty frustrating.
    11
  507. Ben acting as if Hamas is suddenly going to wipe Israel from the map and kill everyone in the country is completely insane. It goes to show how deep the brain washing is. Hamas has ZERO capability of doing that. "Criticizing Israel" is not enough after 15,000 dead civilians, decades of apartheid and settlements, and the ongoing open racism towards Palestinians and Ethiopian Jews.
    11
  508. It's amazing how people can be prepared with a loaded gun in their car for "self protection", but having a clean facemask to protect others is somehow so much more difficult... As far as I know it requires far less energy to put a piece of cloth on your face than it does to: 1. Get into a heated argument. 2. Go to your care to get your gun. 3. Shoot someone. 4. Get into a shootout with an off-duty cop. 5. Go to the hospital. 6. Go to jail.
    11
  509. SilverAbsol 1. Killing for satisfaction when it has no tangible results for crime is primitive. 2. Not it's not, do your research. 3. No it's not, look at scientific studies not anecdotes.  Try comparing the US to other western democracies with similar cultures and economies which don't have a death penalty. 4. There is never doubt in the minds of prosecutors, that's the problem.   I think the many people who have spent time in prison and were set free based on the Innocence Project would disagree with the idea that  death would have been a better option.
    10
  510. Based on what? Happy thoughts? Cause Britain's certainly not thriving now and I haven't seen anything magical on the horizon that indicates that it will suddenly start thriving in the near future.
    10
  511. The idiots who voted for Trump are no different than the idiots who voted for Bush.... They supported Bush because he was likable and nonsense labels and blind party loyalty. The defended the Iraq war, torture, and wire tapping for nearly 8 YEARS while people like me spoke out against it and protested. Now suddenly it's cool to think the Iraq was a bad idea when it's become blatantly obvious and their "deal leader" speaks out against it.
    10
  512. It's all about "feeling" with conservatives. They don't know shit about real policies. They just want a daddy figure to talk tough and make them feel safe.
    10
  513. So much ignorance and demonetization of "the other" in these comments. Makes me ashamed of being an American. As if these people have done something to you.
    10
  514. Racists seem to not understand that talking about race isn't what causes something to be "racist". It's what you say and what you mean.
    10
  515. 1. Obesity is not going to be solved with Yoga pants. Who really wants to see that at work anyway? 2. Sorry, but  planned "office activities" suck.   Plus not everyone exercises in the same way or exercises at the same level/intensity. 3. I think women are more into the social aspects of working out than men are.
    10
  516. Pretty much how every argument against every Trump supporter goes. They don't care about policy, they just start throwing out insults when they have no logic or facts to argument with. This is the same idiot machismo mindset that supported the Iraq war, torture, warrantless wiretapping, and all the bullshit deregulation that led to the 2008 crash. "We can fix any problem if we just get tough and talk tough!"
    10
  517. No kidding...   Count me in on the group that HATES "fun" being imposed upon them.   I'm glad my vacation coincided with a required lunch event just so I could avoid the meaningless awkwardness.
    10
  518. Down with people who blindly worship an abstract nonexistent concept sold to them by an oligarchy as the "free market".  Just so the masses can have something to irrationally project all their hopes and dreams.
    10
  519. Trump: "Hillary should be in JAIL for being less secure with her emails than she should have been and she is unqualified for voted for the Iraq War." "So let me appoint a guy who purposely gave out secrets for pussy and not only advocated for the Iraq War, but personally escalated it."
    10
  520. Wow.... How easily people lean towards authoritarianism, xenophobia, and extreme nationalism when presented with a minor threat (or the idea of a threat). They fall right in line with what they perceive as a strong leader and start talking about banning an ethnic group and concentration camps... The parallels here to Nazi Germany are scary as hell.
    10
  521. The fact that he was close friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, has been found liable for sexual assault (rape), has two dozen more sexual assault allegations against him, cheated on his wife with porn stars, and bragged about walking into dressing rooms of teenagers changing cloths when he managed "Miss Teen USA" it sort of paints a picture doesn't it? A picture that should be clear in the minds of most people yet somehow it's completely oblivious to his supporters. Remember Epstein "unalived himself" while Trump was president and there's a video where Trump waffles on whether he would release the Epstein files.... 🤷🏼
    10
  522. YES, which is why we heavily regulate cars (safety courses, licensing, insurance, traffic laws enforced by traffic cops, speed limits, seat belts, emissions, drunk driving laws, registration, titles, etc.).
    10
  523. Tucker: "Let me tell you a story about how I feel" Cenk: "Here are the facts, statistics, that support my position on an actual policy"
    10
  524. Look no further than the MAGA movement to understand how violent authoritarian leaders like Hitler and Mussolini rose to power.
    10
  525. 01:40 MG asks a question, then when the witness starts talking MG claims she didn't ask a question.... 🤦🏽 MG is one of the grosses human beings on the planet. I literally want to gag just listening to her.
    10
  526. The Left has to learn to take "yes" for an answer instead of just getting caught up in our own bullshit.... Not everyone has to pass a purity test in order to support you and not many could pass a purity test higher than Bernie Sanders anyway. Even if Trump endorsed Bernie I would take the endorsement, tweet about it, then call him a POS later.
    10
  527. "Incredibly unsafe" to be in your own home and step away from the door? The only thing that made it "unsafe" were the assholes who showed up at their door.
    10
  528. If that young man was armed then he could have shot back.... If the neighbors caught in the cross fire were also armed then they could have also shot back. Everyone could have been shooting at each other and everyone would have all survived, because people kill people and guns are magical.
    10
  529. The best leaders throughout history actively listen and gain knowledge from experts, understand how to bring people together to cooperate towards a common goal, and learn from their mistakes. Then there's Trump....
    10
  530. Religion is often used to cover up anger and ugliness.
    10
  531. Funny how Trump screams, whines, and calls it a "crime" that the FBI under Obama started investigating his campaign quietly when Russia was interfering with our elections. However Trump has no problems openly calling for Biden to be investigated and thrown in jail. It's amazing that his supporters are too dumb to see this basic hypocrisy.
    10
  532. The conservative mind often goes to force, violence, and basic authoritarianism to achieve what they want. The idea of having a logical argument and making your case normally doesn't apply. This is why they are often obsessed with the 2nd amendment and carrying guns around everywhere, because behind that is the idea that at any point we could inflict force and violence on you. I really like the 1st amendment, but I don't feel the need to carry a bullhorn on me at all times.
    10
  533. Gorka insults people like villains from old Disney cartoons.
    10
  534. She says that her cameraman wouldn't have been assaulted if he had a firearm? Does she expect to shoot people if they push you? Or if the cameraman pulls out his gun and the other guy pulls out his gun and suddenly instead of a pushing each other you're killing each other and possibly any bystanders. I seriously don't get the logic here.
    10
  535. If progressivism is based purely on polls then you should have agreed with Hillary Clinton when she wasn't in favor of gay marriage until the polls told her to. 70% of people were in favor of the Iraq war in 2003. Were they right at the time? No one is asking you to "give into pressure" Just EFFING LISTEN and have a real conversation Literally no one gives a shit about you giving into pressure or not.
    10
  536. So people didn't use to have kids or TV in the 80s? I agree with Cenk, these are really stupid reasons. Having more access to porn could be a valid reason. People are probably masturbating more instead of going through the effort of dealing with others or dating.
    10
  537. Did the they tell you to wait, call the cops and lie saying you were trying to commit fraud? No? Then your white privilege is showing again...
    10
  538. "Homeboy" is 100% racial Ana. It was slang created in the black/hip-hop community many years ago. So yes someone black who doesn't know that you use it for all types of men would definitely raise an eyebrow with you calling them "Homeboy". It may have become more general slang in your generation, but you should understand the context for someone older than you and how that can come across.
    10

  540. The whole point of any business is to deliver a product or service with the least amount of labor. Anyone who thinks that tax cuts for the executives means they will magically hire more people when they really don't need to is a gullible idiot. No they will STILL deliver a product/service for the least amount of labor, but pocket as much profit as they can in bonuses. The reality is higher taxes on these entitles assholes creates a greater incentive for them to keep money IN their company rather than taking it out for themselves, because the money they keep in their company won't be taxed. The fact that they can use the power of their corporation to lobby the government so that the executives can personally profit is pretty sick.

  546. The question isn't politics, the question is following the law. The founders put impeachment in the constitution for a reason. There is no "partisan politics" in the constitution. If Congress doesn't perform their constitutional duties they essentially set a precedent that normalizes everything this administration did. The reason we still talk about "Watergate" today is because of the impeachment process. The reason we talk about a president lying under oath is because of the impeachment of Bill Clinton. If we allow what Trump did to go unchecked, we're basically diminishing the office for future generations. Which may already be too late.

People like you who go through life denying reality are precisely the reason why the human race, specifically the US, is being culled right now. Somehow wearing a mask and distancing is way too hard for you so it must be some kind of conspiracy. 🙄 The doctor is talking about his experiences. it's not his job to educate you during this video clip. You're perfectly able to do that on your own.

I'd much rather elect a person who has spent years or decades fighting for the issues that I care about, not someone who just came around to the idea because it's polling better. Maybe Tulsi is genuine, maybe she isn't, but as long as Bernie is in the race I don't need to make that gamble.

  573. Because the reason why the person was angry enough to shoot someone are rooted in the anti-mask propaganda that's been spread by the right wing for the past year. Just like the riot at the capital was caused by the misinformation spread by Trump. Yes ultimately it is the shooters responsibility, no one is saying otherwise, but you can't separate his actions from the culture that gave him a reason to be angry over mask requirements to begin with.

  583. In reality a 1000 jobs is a drop in the bucket.... We added 179, 000 last month and unemployment is down to 4.6% which is a near 10 year low. I would give Trump all the credit in the world if I thought this wasn't anything more than a publicity stunt. You find some low hanging fruit, a few companies where you can save a couple hundred jobs here and there. Then you parade those wins in front everyone in order to placate the masses (this is classic authoritarianism 101). Meanwhile you cut deals behind the scenes that end up costing the american people more far more. This does nothing if 2 years down the road Carrier (and many other companies) have the SAME INCENTIVE to turn around and ship those jobs out like business is usual. We are serious dumb asses if we let "Reality TV" dictate our view on these policies. This is the same mistake we made with Obama in a lot ways.

  589. Mike Cavallaro You're not going to be able to move away from a two party system without implementing "proportional representation" in our elections. People need to realize there is a reason why this country ended up with two parties and many democracies that were created afterwards support multiple parties. We have a winner take all system and in that system you're going to end up with two parties. Some of the founders new that, they just didn't know how to fix it. So voting libertarian or green party is basically throwing away your vote. The best you could hope for is if one of the two parties is in such bad shape (like the GOP will be after Trump) that a third party will take over, However in the end you will still end up with two parties because of our "winner take all" system. Starting a revolution within the party like the Tea Party did in the GOP or Bernie Sanders did in the Democratic party is pretty much the only way change has happened in this country. You can see examples of this many times throughout history. However 3rd parties won't do dick.

  600. Never said Clinton wasn't corrupt. However if you think that Trump is somehow less corrupt or just as corrupt, then I'm sorry but you're fucking gullible... It was OBVIOUS that Trump's corruption far exceeded any politician in the primary. He has a long history of cronyism, conning people, discrimination, paying off politicians, using his foundation for personal presents or paying legal fines for his company, and even working with the Mob. Trump has an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to his scandals as well as numerous sites listing the hundreds of issues that he's flip flopped on, as well as the most lies of any candidate for president by politifact, fackcheck, & snoops. Yet SOMEHOW you think taking donor money or giving a speech on wall st is the SAME? fucking absurd.. Are you surprised that he's appointed the CEO of Exon Mobile as Secretary of State? Are you surprised that he's filling positions in his with Goldman Sachs representatives and donors? Are you surprised that he wants an office for his daughter in the white house to run his companies out of ? Are you surprised that he brings his family members along when visiting heads of state so they can get inside information and help put pressure in getting his realestate deals through? I'm not surprised because it was OBVIOUS that he would do these things once he got into office. But "oh my!" there were emails so I guess all that is moot right? As if Trump's own emails wouldn't be far more devastating, but those weren't leaked. How convenient. TRUMP WANT'S TO GET RID OF OBAMACARE!!! The ACA has saved the lives of at least 100,000 people or perhaps even closer to 200,000 people since it was enacted. Why? Because #1. new hospitals regulations has caused fewer deaths (at least 87,000 from just 2010-2014). #2 there has been a 25% reduction in the people who are uninsured. So based on the 45K figure you mentioned it means 10,000 fewer people dead EACH YEAR. So HOW THE FUCK can you compare someone who wants to kill THOUSANDS by getting rid of the ACA with nothing substantial to back it up vs. someone who wants to keep the ACA and work on legislation to make it better? Yeah Single Payer would be better, but fucking hell dude how can you even begin to compare those two positions? Sorry but taking the HUNDREDS of cases of lies and corruption from Trump and the few cases of corruption and lies with Hillary and "calling it even" is no different than what CNN does.

  619. So much wrong in this commentary:... 1. The idea that you cannot go for legislative change while at the SAME TIME criticizing people for being bigoted, Is a false choice. No one ever said that criticizing Dave Chapple's commentary is more important than legislative change. You just made that up. 2. I really don't understand how you can't tell the a difference between a racist TV 'character' vs a person being racist. There's obviously a HUGE different between those two things. Dave Chappelle played lots of characters who were over the top racist or misogynistic, etc. but people know the difference between a comedian playing a character who is racist for the sake of comedy vs a comedian appearing to use his fame to marginalize a minority group. 3. There are often problems with how various characters (Asian, Black, Native American) have been depicted in movies and television. Sorry, but I don't think telling your mom to "get over it" if she has a problem with how Italians are depicted in the Sopranos is the right response. Making characters MORE ACCURATE is always a good thing. That might mean depicting Italian mobsters as racist, but it also means making sure they are representing Italian culture properly. Telling anyone who has a criticism of anything creative to "don't watch it" is like telling someone who has a criticism of the US government to "move". It's completely unproductive. 4. The fact that John Stewart knows and likes Dave Chappell is not a "defense". There are always people that we like who say dumb things in public. The fact that we like them and know them personally doesn't make their statements any less dumb or hurtful to certain people. 5. It sounds like Dave Chappell and John Stewart are open to having a dialogue. That isn't a bad thing and having a dialog gets society to a better place. However to just say: "it's art so get over it" and "don't watch it if you don't like it" That isn't a helpful dialog.

Now they've completely adopted the messaging of the status quo and they don't even realize it. Why should anyone watch TYT when they can just look at a poll to figure out what they're going to say?

  641. No, Trump is actually a lying POS... There are literally hundreds of documented lies from that man. People just mistake the simplistic way he does his job and his lack of nuance and savviness as honesty. He's just different than a typical politician. It doesn't make him honest, just bad at his job.

  643. And here we go again folks... Let's pick apart what Bernie "could have said differently" while ignoring the hundreds of lies, racist and idiotic statements that comes from Trump every week. Let's watch the media ignore Trump's open racism while finding any dirt they can on Bernie because he's the only one who is an actual true threat to the establishment.

  644. The Republican party has been the party of white supremacy ever since the "Southern Strategy." It's pretty much the main thing they've appealed to in various forms. Whether it's being against BLM, fear mongering about immigration, or making up CRT being taught in schools. It's all part of the same playbook.

  646. Sure, attack Fetterman by comparing him to one of the most popular politicians in the country.... Does he not know that comparing Fetterman to Bernie Sanders over and over is pretty much going to motivate just as many people to vote for him as it would to vote against him?

  649.  @tuyenle8107  I remember that Clinton was up by a couple points in the polls by November. I also remember that Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes. Which was well within the margin of error of those polls. Clinton lost the electoral college, but the national polls were not inaccurate. Ignorance and ignoring science is the reason why this country is in the mess it's in right now. Again, how much do you want to bet? 😀

  651. I think it's WAY TOO PREMATURE to accuse Kevin Spacey of deflecting.... This was 30 years ago and he says he doesn't even remember it. The people conflating "gayness" with "pedophilia" are the hyper critical left where everything must be perfect and PC. Now if more accusations come out later then it would represent a clear pattern of behavior that Spacey would undoubtedly be aware of then I would definitely be more on your side. But to simply nitpick when and how a person chooses to come out is kind of ridiculous. At most this was a drunk guy that didn't know what he was doing and all it took was pushing him away to stop the behavior. Not much different than millions of drunk women who get overly sexual at the wrong time with the wrong people and have to be pushed away. At 14 It's also hard to call this "pedophilia" when it's someone who may have already went through puberty, so without a clear pattern it's hard to say if Spacey was attracted to prepubescent boys or if he was just a stupid drunk.

You get a dislike from me simply because you're pretending as if this is something new and should be "gigantic story", when in fact the US does this like every other month as part of their joint operations with NATO which INCLUDES countries on the Black Sea other than Russia (Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, etc.). So why wasn't it a "gigantic story" under Obama? Is it because you didn't have an incentive to counter everything Russia related then? Now you could say that you don't agree with NATO or US involvement, however to imply that the US suddenly decided to unilaterally raise tensions with Russia is false and completely disingenuous.

  659. So punching a guy in the face repeatedly while he is surrendering with his hands up and letting a dog rip his flesh apart is "appropriate behavior"? Like many cops, all they wanted to do was "teach this guy a lesson".

Latin American spans across two continents so it's pretty silly to automatically assume that all Latino people have had violent experiences with cartel people. Perhaps I was wrong in thinking you made the comment on purpose, it doesn't seem like you meant any harm, but you have to understand how it comes across when you stereotype people based on nothing more than their ethnicity.

  664. Cenk... The trucker's protest isn't about "We know more than doctors" any more than BLM protests were about "getting rid of all police". If you cannot actually articulate the issues clearly, then you really shouldn't be talking about them. Especially when you say you're looking for an "honest conversation". I supported BLM whole heartedly, but I don't recall you guys saying there should be a logical end to the protest two weeks into it. EVERYONE has been completely hypocrites on these protests.

  665. Actually far less die from drunk driving than firearm deaths, but you're right in that society weighs the benefits of transportation with the inevitable deaths that occur due to accidents. However the difference is that our entire society, economy, food supply, jobs, etc. operates based on road transportation. Whereas guns are only necessary for a handful of farmers who occasionally need to defend their land from coyotes or bears. There is absolutely no comparison. Remove all the guns from a city and it will be fine, remove all the cars and trucks from a city and will have massive problems and will likely cease to exist. See the difference?

  666. If you actually care about democracy you would listen to what the Palestinian people want instead of just blaming Hamas over and over. To Palestinians, Israel is a terrorist, an oppressor, someone who is taking their homes and oppressing every aspect of their lives. What do you expect them to do? Do nothing?.... Until you have a conversation that doesn't just blame Hamas for everything, you're never going to get anywhere. Israel is the actual power in that region, not Hamas.

  672. @Mary Antonio Well then let me break it down for you then, because you guys seem incredibly lost and confused. Ben at 0:38 started pretending that people are arguing that trans women are "biological" women, however that is not nor has ever been an argument anywhere in left wing circles. Little Ben decided to make up a straw man argument because it is easier for him to argue against the sex organs that people are born with instead of addressing the actual issue. The reason we call it trans-gender not trans-sex because "gender" is a social construct not a biological one. At this point Neil accurately points out that there is more than one field of science that explains "gender". We can go to sociology, psychology, including biology when looking at the fact that trans-women's brains do have differences with men's brains. However all little Ben wanted to do was talk about the sex organs people are born with and pretend that's all there is to the issue. He's like a little kid who can't discuss adult issues without talking about someone's pee pee parts.

  673. ​ @blazzing_fury2425  It doesn't matter what side you're on. If you're not for getting rid of gerrymandering or the influence of big money in politics then you're against democracy, period. You can find people in both parties on either side of those issues, but the pressure to actually fix those things is mainly coming from the Left. It's not really anger to acknowledge reality. I don't really care about your label or your team, just get on the right side of the issue.

  681. Been watching TYT since 2005 maybe 2004. Most of that time I was pretty critical of Ana because she was really bad in the beginning. However one thing that was totally clear was that she WORKED HARD and it's obvious that all of that hard work over the years has paid off. Over the past few years she has been fantastic, delivering great points, keeping Cenk in check when necessary, etc. Although how can you call your show "No Filter" when it's clearly far more scripted than the rest of the TYT? That's my only gripe :-)

  682.  @scoutregiment4701  Wrong... Tulsi was an adult and in the Hawaii legislature when she was actively fighting against gay rights. She only came around after she joined Congress and it became politically untenable to hold onto that position. It was also the same time that Clinton changed her stance on gay marriage. No I don't want her to "eat out a female" or whatever other disgusting straw man (or likely a fantasy) you're making up. I want a leader to be on the right side of history not just follow the political winds like Tulsi is doing. If you can't see that then you're effing naive. Someone who doesn't have enough moral sense to know right from wrong well into adulthood or is still "on the fence" when it comes to torture as late as 2012, DOES NOT deserve my vote. Sorry. People who blindly follow politicians who just came around to their positions a few years ago are just sheep.

  684. One of my earliest memories of grade school was an older white kid who I never knew randomly picking me up by my collar and screaming "I hate black people". My best friend at the time had to hide the fact that we were friends because her parents were racist and didn't want her to be around me. If that isn't "historical trauma" leading to "present trauma" resulting in more trauma, I don't know what is. At least if you're a Jewish kid growing up you can hide the fact that you're Jewish in most situations

  685. I must admit that I do have some sympathy for Melania, but the moment she started defending her husbands batshit crazy racist ideas on birtherism, the moment she started defending her husband's xenophobic ideas on immigration (while pretending that being an immigrant dating a billionaire with a private jet that can fly anywhere in the world is in the same situation as an impoverished immigrant struggling to feed their family), she then opened herself up to scrutiny like with any other public figure.

  686. Sorry Jimmy, but your argument falls apart with George W. Bush. I would put Bill Clinton against allowing 911 to happen, invading two countries, killing a million civilians, torture, abu Ghraib, gitmo, illegally wiretapping, creating the TSA and having no plan for the aftermath which led to ISIS, a 2008 recession, and trillions of debt and hundreds of billions of deficit, ANY DAY.... Trump is basically GW Bush on steroids. If he got elected along with a republican majority it would change this country to an even darker direction.

Older black voters are voting for Clinton but younger black voters are not. The older generation still has nostalgia over Bill Clinton because he was the first president that tried to identify with them and treated them like human beings, despite his policies being disastrous for the black community.

  693. I think raising the top tax rate (say above 5 million or so) to 70%-90%  like it used to be in the decades following WW2 is a bigger issue than even campaign finance reform... Unless we decide as a society to stop supporting a "billionaire class" that has an incentive to take money from their companies and workers, that can over speculate drive up prices on oil, food, etc. and feed economic bubbles, has millions/ billions to spend on politicians, PACs, & campaign ads, then we will continue to have a society that supports economic inequality.

  698. Completely disagree....   All my life I've never smoked, did drugs, or drank alcohol really,  never even been drunk...  However a few months ago I decided to try some edibles while I was in Colorado.  First of all since it was my first time I made sure I went to a highly rated place.  Being cautious is something most people do when trying ANYTHING for the first time.   Secondly my experience at this particular place is that they hand you a menu telling you exactly about the types of Marijuana and their effects, each type of edible, the THC content and the recommended dosages (for an average adult) for each as well as what you should do if it is your first time having an edible...   Not only that but you have the time to ask questions from very knowledgeable people before making up your mind. Furthermore if that wasn't enough there is recommended dosages and serving sizes on the packaging itself.... So the idea that someone is going to grab an edible and not know what they are getting is nonsense.  You feel far more informed and in control getting an edible from a legal place where exact dosages, THC content, etc. is spelled out in exact milligrams, than if one of your friends decided to bake a batch of brownies with some stuff he bought off the street one day. If you're going to ban edibles then you might as well ban liqueur, cocktails, and other sugary drinks.  If people can't figure out how much to consume based on all the information laid out for them then they probably shouldn't be trying it in the first place...
    8
  699. Sorry Cenk I don't think addicts keep drinking or keep doing drugs because it was called an "illness" they do so because they are an addict.  They have far more excuses to keep doing what they are doing other than someone else calling it an "illness". On the flip side, calling an addiction an "illness" can give someone who is seeking help the realization that their problem is severe and that the problem can't be fixed by taking it lightly or just cutting back a little.  You would think as a person who uses hyperbole every single day on TYT to get your point across you would understand.

The roads were far more icy than how it looks in the video.  This wasn't just a bit of snow on the road.  I've driven hours in the snow. I welcome snow when it comes to Atlanta.  However this was ICE on completely unprepared roads.  Atlanta has many HILLS and there were spots where you could not move or your car would slide on it's own from a dead stop. No amount of "pumping your brakes" or being a bad ass winter driver is going to help you with zero traction. Furthermore this came quick...  Literally from clear to ice conditions in the span of an hour... No time prepare or "get used to it". We've had snow storms hit Atlanta before with much more snow than this, but never so bad so quickly that many people had to sleep inside their cars or inside grocery stores.

It's not like I would have supported Alan Keyes if he was running against Hillary and been like "Gee I would have rather had Obama, but since Alan Keyes is black oh well..." what kind of person puts aside their morals to support a president based on nothing more than gender? She's supporting her because of a speech she gave? Really?! What exactly has Clinton done during the entire two terms she was senator besides ride on her name and prepare to be president? What has she done besides simply calculate her votes and support the Iraq War, Patriot Act, and "evolve:" on gay marriage? I can tell you what Bernie Sanders has done. He's fought for the right thing every step of the way not just when it was politically convenient.

  725. It may be anecdotal, but nearly every time I debate a conservative and/or Trump supporter.

Many times these people will just gravitate to bullshit blog cites that completely make shit up without citing a single source. It's the narrative they want to believe.... so they don't give a shit about reality just their heroes, dreams, fears, and dogma.

  738. Please... There are plenty of black people who would trade places with the Smiths in a heartbeat and have the Smith's fame and wealth for a comedic comment about their hairstyle while eating Kobe beef and lobster right before getting an award... I'm sick and tired of these tepid defenses of Will Smith's violence and mental illness. It wasn't a joke about "black women". It was a joke about a wealthy actor with a bald head being similar to another actor with a bald head. You can't suddenly decide the joke was about something completely different than it was. An obscenely wealthy woman at the Oscars HAS NO RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER to Brianna Taylor or any of the middle class or poor black people unjustly murdered or incarcerated. You would have to be crazy to think the police would get anywhere near the Smths or break into their home and kill them unjustly. The idea that no one can ever make fun of a black woman because "discrimination exists" only isolates people from real cases of racial injustice.

  739. Here come all the Tulsi supporters who ignore her past because they like her soothing voice and talk of anti-war.... Nevermind her tweet in 2015 criticizing Obama calling for NOT bombing Syria...

  740. You're basically asking for things that cannot be negotiated or talked about in public. The reason we have elected representatives is to have people who can be in the weeds with positions that can't be discussed openly. I get the concerns, but issues of war and peace are a totally different animal than talking about healthcare or drug legalization. There is no bullet list of demands for what Russia, Ukraine wants, or "the west" wants. EVERYONE wants as much as they can get and creating some kind of arbitrary list for the US to get behind (and for other countries to criticize or use as leverage) is ENTIRELY UNPRODUCTVE while fighting is still going on. The only purpose to creating such a list would be to make you feel better. I can also guarantee that the average US citizen doesn't care about those details either.

  743. I like how Shapiro pretends people like AOC and Bernie Sanders because the right attacked them. I think you have that order wrong sir.... We liked them because of their political positions. The Right attacked them because they were popular, not the other way around.

  744.  @bbe3034  Nearly 5 times as many white men exist in the country as black men Numbnuts. Do basic math before falling for dumb propaganda. There should be 5 times the number of white men killed by police based on the population, but because there isn't that is why the killings of black men are DISPROPORTIONATE. Get it?

  745. Bannon is just pulling a Jimmy Dore... It doesn't matter if the strategy is a good one or is bad for the Republican party, all he cares is lifting his own brand by pretending he's a fighter. It doesn't do anything to Bannon if he's completely wrong or anything. All he has to do is talk about it on his show.

  746. Wow, you're an idiot.... Go right to TYT videos, do a search on "Biden". The top 5 videos that come up are: 1. Joe, Biden, Lying or Losing it? 2. Joe Biden's Campaign is Done. 3. Biden forget's Obama's name. 4. Joe Biden's Wife Admits his Policies Suck. 5. Joe Biden in Free-fall This is all within the past week.

  747. The reason Vivek will "defend Taiwan", but not Ukraine, is because Taiwan is a hypothetical and he can use it as a talking point. Whereas Ukraine is a reality and he doesn't want to talk about real substantive things.

  752. Remember when they called Obama the "celebrity president"?. They pretended that Obama cared more about his celebrity than the country, yet they now have a president who literally cares more about his celebrity and popularity than the country. People are literally dying right now because Trump still wanted to have campaign rallies....

  753. If the baby was so important, she would have told him right away instead of trying to set up a tiktok video for likes & clicks... You have at least 8 more months to celebrate having a baby, meanwhile her man was trying to celebrate those good-looking waffles right then and there.

  754. Conservative logic: When multiple women accuses a classmate of sexual assault and people would like to investigate it they say "Where's the evidence?!!" When bombs are sent or a mass shooting happens. "False Flag! I don't need evidence it's obvious!"
    8
  755. I remember seeing her on a vice panel on feminism. It's obvious that she just wants to be another grifter like Candace Owens, saying whatever controversial anti-feminist thing she can think of in order to get attention.

  756. Just stop with the bullshit. In no way is the democratic party more militaristic than the GOP. Look who Trump is appointing as advisers (John Bolton), look at his ever increasing the military budget. THEN look at all the progressive candidates who are running on ending war and reducing military spending. Glen Greenwald, Kyle Kulinski, etc. are the only people pushing this nonsense narrative that criticizing Russia means that the democratic party wants war. It isn't in the polls, it isn't anywhere except in their imagination.

  757. "My emotions make me stupid" pretty much sums up the conservative ideology.

  759. ngl... I really like the positivity vibes from Kamala/Walz. Such a nice contrast from the constant: "hate these people", "they're destroying the country", and "America sucks"
    8
  760. The truth is a large percentage of Trump supporters see non-white immigrants as "foreigners" first and a human beings second. The fact that this guy was middle-eastern is just icing on the cake to these people.
    8
  761. "Stupid unnuanced thinking" is pretending that the left wing position is that war is never necessary or that there isn't a difference between starting a war and defending a country from invasion. Yes it sucks and I'm not gonna pretend that it doesn't suck, horribly, but whining and bitching about it doesn't help either. If you want the US to pull support and have Putin carve up Ukraine however he wants, then argue for that position. At least Marjorie Green has the balls to not care what happens to Ukraine. However sitting there whining to your listeners who support Ukraine doesn't actually change anything. It's not for us to sit around waving peace flags from our comfy couch when it's not our country that's being invaded. Obviously Ukraine is going to do everything it can to win and retain its borders, just like ANY country would and yes a lot of people are going to continue to die. Wars don't typically end until lots of people die and people get sick of it and that's when negotiations are more likely to happen.

  762.  @thefarworld  The way she invoked MLK incorrectly was gross.... MLK talked about the polite racism of the white liberal and how the the moderate and "bothsides-ism" was damaging to the fight against racism. Ana is literally doing THAT EXACT THING to the trans community. If she cared about cause and effect she wouldn't have let her words be used by Fox News against trans people. It shows that she has absolutely no clue about a "cause and effects"
    8
  763.  @jesseozmen9835  I got different things from different parts and I also commented on those parts. However all throughout he repeatedly made claims about how police officers "felt" because of George Floyd protests and how those feelings impacted their work.

  764. In an ideal world we would get rid of the Republican party and form a new Progressive party to fight the Democrats. How this country has allowed such a vile disgusting evil corrupt party to exist this long is beyond me. All the Republican party does is serve the rich while dividing people with race, religion, xenophobia, and bigotry against the LGBT.

  765.  @user-rv9um5xc3r  Well if you're capable of reading then try reading the first comment and try again. Because saying "she pays bills" didn't demonstrate at all that you actually understood what I said.

  767. The most criminal president in history.

  768. I like how something simply existing or something being mentioned is the equivalent of being "shoved down their throats". Minority groups have spent their whole lives in a world were they were mostly unrepresented at all yet we didn't complain about it being "shoved down our throats". Heaven forbid being exposed to two seconds of something that isn't meant for you.

  769. I was worried too after Cori Bush I was going to lose my mind if Omar lost her primary. But with Omar in Congress and having Trump lose to another black woman would be enough to make 2024 the best year ever.

  772. Not saying what happened here was right, but I think there's a double standard here that should be discussed. When it comes to other highly competitive sports like football, rugby, basketball, etc. many times guys go through rigorous training and sometimes that training results in an injury. I just wonder if the outrage would be the same if it instead of a screaming young girl you just had a guy who didn't scream, but still got injured and complained about not being able to compete? Would people demand everyone be fired or would they just tell the guy to "suck it up" or find a new sport?
    8
  773. I'm shocked that a guy who would stage a coup in order to stay in power would try to get an advantage in a primary. Whah?!... 😲
    8
  774. Obviously the looters used their money from looting to go back in time and manipulate a police officer into killing George Floyd so that they could loot in the future. It's a looting paradox.
    8
  775. Nope it means the same thing. It's just that some Republicans decided that criminality no longer has meaning when it applies to someone they like.

  778. Why is this an outrage if she's a celebrity that did a very public outing? To me this looked very "pro-trans" because they are acknowledging her as a woman on the woman's bathroom.... Also you're not allowed to show pictures of Bruce Jenner as an athlete who won all those medals? Or any pictures of the 66 years that she lived as a man? It makes no sense. They could have turned the bathroom thing into a positive message. Taking it in a negative way is only going to feed the trolls...

  780. 1. Wordle didn't save anyone. Staying in regular touch with people saved her. 2. Ana, you're also more likely to harm yourself and others by having a gun in your home, despite how "responsible" you think you are. You really have to ask yourself wat your "perspective" is actually based on.

  781. I hate the fact that politics is discussed in terms of "philosophical differences'. Politics shouldn't be about FUCKING PHILOSOPHY, it should be about what has scientifically been proven to work or not. I don't give a shit about your philosophy.

  783. Saying that we should verify what is negotiated is not "critiquing Trump from the right". You people really have selective hearing or something.
    8
  784. Because really dumb people genuinely think that politics is about "owning" people like they're watching an effing football game as opposed to actually caring about what happens to their country, fellow man, environment, planet , etc.
    8
  785. You're not required to buy the toy.... Honestly the outrage is no different than conservatives complaining about rainbow t-shirts. You're not actually required to buy these things if you don't want them or don't think it's a good idea for your kid.
    8
  786. As a layman I've been saying the exact same thing for well over a year now. If you look at the studies, vaccination only provides a marginal benefit over natural immunity from already being infected with Covid, and if you're vaccinated a booster only provides a marginal benefit over the original vaccination. Also the two dose regimen for the initial vaccination should be spread apart more for more effectiveness.
    8
  787. Let's be real... Trump's base will fall in line just like they did under Bush. These people don't care about principles. They will gladly support war just like they now believe that constant infidelity, never going to church, and demonizing poor people seeking sanctuary, makes you a good "Christian".

  789. Keep in mind these are the same people who wanted to: 1.lock up Hillary Clinton for "reasons" because her email server was found to be less than secure. 2. Wanted to lock up Obama & Clinton because they thought they purposely wanted diplomats to be murdered in Benghazi for no reason. These people really don't care about causality or logic...

  792. Yeah Pooch, somehow that excuses slavery, rebelling against the US in order to keep slavery, and implementing institutions (poll taxes, Jim Crow, Red lining, Prison Industrial Complex) which discriminated and economically subjugated black people, which in a lot of ways continues to this very day. Native tribes fought on both sides of the war for various reasons. But sure, if you think having a union is wrong and you'd rather believe in traitors, you can always GTFO and look for a country that supports slavery.

    8
  795. I think John is right... A certain percentage of Republican voters are just liars... Trump gave Republicans permission to be against the Iraq war, he also gave them permission to be liars. They watched Trump lie constantly for over 4 years and pretend things he wanted to be true, were true. So therefore they think lying is okay now.
    8
  796. Most of the Israeli Jewish population is openly racist towards Arabs and Palestinians. You can't talk about religious fundamentalism and ignore the religious fundamentalism and the right wing crazies in Israel. Who revel in killing Palestinians regardless of whether they are Hamas or not.

  797. Most people with a gun are just looking for an excuse to use it. It's sorta like when your dad buys a new BBQ grill or a smoker, but instead of eating tasty meat people die for stupid reasons.

  798. Republicans are too stupid to understand what the word "replaced" means.... If I have a son and then my wife gives birth to twin daughters. I didn't just "replace" my boy with girls...
    8
  799. First off I really don't get the sentiment of not wanting police to participate in the protests or speak in favor of the movement. In my mind it only gives the cause more moral legitimacy if there are cops acknowledging that there is problem. In fact it caused a Republican I know to support the protestors when they saw that. It's the same mentality of not wanting men to support women's issues or white people to support minority issues. You need EVERYONE and it's ok to take "yes" for an answer. Secondly saying we should "cut the police budgets" is just as silly as Republicans saying we should "cut government". Cut what exactly? Their salaries? Amount of people patrolling? Equipment? In many cases police crack down on poor people more just to make up budget shortfalls with tickets, car impounding, etc. I don't think blanket cuts is the answer when the problem is a regulatory one. You may end up changing the budget to demilitarize the police while at the same time ramping up psychological evaluation and community oversight. There are plenty of communities that could use MORE cops, so just cutting budgets is not an answer.

  800. Failed Businessman -> Failed President -> Failed Businessman The only way Trump succeeds at anything is if another company uses him for marketing like buildings with his name on it, NBC with The Apprentice, or Fox News and his entire presidency.

  801. Never trusted Tulsi from the beginning. She also NEVER signed the progressive pledge. I'm literally shocked at the amount of people who blindly fall for someone who was literally a conservative democrat like 5 years ago. She was "on the fence" on torture, against single payer, she was part of a anti-gay group. She was dating a Republican. How many Barack Obamas does it take for people to recognize someone who isn't really that passionate about being a progressive?

  802. No, you're only part of the dum dum left if you make up a statement that she never said.

  803. Another reason why people shouldn't be so fixated on "DNA" and "heritage". Life is what you make of it not what genetic material brought you into it.
    8
  804. Sorry but, looking at blogs and videos is not "research". It's listening to people telling you fairytales until you believe in fairy tails. The human mind constantly tries to make sense out of chaos, which is why these fairytales are so compelling to you. No different than seeing shapes in clouds.
    8
  805. Ana... So you're saying that Meghan McCain is "right" with her strawman argument? 😂 At what point did Joy Behar claim that Republicans listened to what she had to say? Never... 😂 That was McCain deflecting. She just was asking for McCain to explain the Republican position and all she did was deflect and create strawman arguments.
    8
  806. It'll only take a couple years before republicans start pretending they were against trump this whole time. First it will be the politicians, then Fox New, then everyone else.
    8
  807. Pretty much all Republicans are prostitutes for the wealthy anyway, so it makes sense.
    8
  808. Other than Jayar the hate and "whataboutism" in this video is pretty darn gross.... Who gives a sh!t what John Wayne did like 50 years ago? Seriously? It is pretty childish to hate people simply for being rich instead of the system which creates these disparities. There are people making a dollar a day who probably hate you for your privileges as well. Going around hating and wishing ill on people because of their good fortunate is a disgusting attitude. It's not like Chris Rock or Will Smith were born wealthy or anything. They literally spent their entire lives building themselves up.
    8
  809. It's literally common knowledge the poverty + population density correlate directly to crime. The fact that different minority groups have different rates of crime is irrelevant to the overall driver of crime. There are also studies that have clearly shown black children start to see themselves as "bad" at a very early age simply because of how black people are perceived in that society. So while he might be correct that culture can effect crime, he seems incapable of understanding that the "culture" he's referring to is also based on forces that have been acting on those communities for generations and not just the communities themselves.
    8
  810. Birtherism, Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Email Servers, etc. Republicans NEVER needed any valid reason to try and lock up their political opponents. "Lock them up" is literally their political slogans. They accus LGBTQ people of all being pedophiles. They are all fascist authoritarians. Lets stop pretending that they haven't always wanted to persecute people
    8
  811. Because the bullshit propaganda that you've been fed for trolling is actually not true. Learn the real history and pay attention to the issues that are effecting your country and the world instead of being a useful idiot for someone else's childishness.

  812. I'm starting to think Mark Ruffalo's muscles were fake when he played the Hulk... I'm going to just watch 70's hulk with Lou Ferrigno. The only special effects I want to see are fake dummies being thrown around by real muscles.

  813. 3 social media networks: Twitter, Facebook, and Umm...... "oops....."

  814. You seriously think that after 70 years of conflict and much of that involving constant military drills that North Korea doesn't know the difference between a test and an actual attack? Especially when they're literally on the same piece of land as South Korea? Really? South Korea and Japan knows the difference between a test and an attack, but North Korea doesn't? The way you infantilize dictators is amazing sometimes. As if South Korea, who is in direct danger from North Korea, doesn't have an idea of how North Korea thinks. It takes a YouTuber from NY to figure it all out....
    8
  815. Because the whole "birtherism" and "secret Muslim" thing worked so well against Obama for two terms....
    8
  816. Zero sympathy... I know people like Megan McCain, they are constantly looking to feel righteous about themselves while being intentionally hostile to other people. Then as soon as they are criticized or anyone says anything back, they break down because they are an emotional wreck inside looking for validation. I also have zero sympathy for the leaks, because Megan McCain was playing a character on air in order to support the Republican agenda under Trump and started treated people like crap over it, so people pointing out her hypocrisy is to be expected.
    8
  817. That "host" needs to get the worse rating possible on Airbnb.... When your guests get detained/arrested for doing nothing other than leaving your place. You don't say "Well maybe you should have smiled more". I get that she doesn't want to hate on her neighbor for looking out, but that's kind of a dick move to do for people who gave you hundreds, perhaps even thousands of dollars to stay there.
    8
  818.  @toughgirl6837  Sounds like someone is compensating for something. That usually happens when people don't have arguments and can only respond with ad hominems. It amazes me how you people can't form a thought without regurgitating "liberal" or some other label over and over. As if labels are somehow relevant to logic, facts, or a coherent argument.
    8
  819.  @OmniMale  Optimal according to what exactly? Data shows that natural immunity is at least as good if not far better when it comes to variants like Delta. Hybrid immunity, or vaccinating someone who was already infected, might produce more circulating antibodies, which makes sense seeing as your body was already primed to fight the virus to begin with.... However circulating antibodies alone is not he whole picture when it comes to immunity and unless they are testing actual outcomes when it comes to infections and hospitalizations then it doesn't mean much of anything. Furthermore circulating antibodies decline quickly after infection or a vaccination. So it doesn't really make sense to use that as a gauge for how immune someone is.
    8
  820. There wasn't a ceasefire on Oct 6th... There were bombings all throughout September and hundreds of Palestinians taken prisoner all year and many killed in the West Bank. Do you even know what you're talking about Ben? Do you seriously think Gaza wasn't bombed before October? The fact that you think killing 15,000 civilians and displacing 2 million others is "defense" is absolute brainwashing. It's literally the same ratio of deaths to militants that Hamas did on Oct 7th except they don't spend millions on PR making the world think that they care.
    8
  821. Guys.... There is a very real threat to artists, graphics designers, photographers, and writers who are suddenly finding themselves in dead in careers because of AI. People are losing jobs TODAY because of this and many artists are having their work and design techniques stolen. The next thing will be AI video which will impact animators and other content creators. Obviously it doesn't have an impact on political punditry on YouTube, but lets not undercut the real impact this is having in the workforce for certain kinds of professions.
    8
  822. So you think bringing a knife into a store is a death sentence? Gee I wonder what's more dangerous, an old guy with a knife rolling into a store at walking speed or a cop firing a gun repeatedly into a store? You do realize there was an employee right there in the line of sight of the cop firing his weapon, right? Have you heard of a taser? Or simply blocking his way? It's amazing to me how people convince themselves that killing people is the only answer. Places like the UK only have a couple people killed by a cop all year whereas we have thousands.

  823. Christ Kyle do you ever get sick of bitching about Clinton? She is largely irrelevant and OVER A YEAR LATER you are still bitching about her as if she's running for something. I said this to you almost a year ago. If all you do is bitch about Clinton for 4 years. Trump is going to get reelected. I don't care that someone got a Clinton tattoo. I don't care that she responded to it. I've never liked Clinton as a politician, but the pettiness from you week after week is just getting old. Stop rehashing shit from a year and a half ago, it's time to move the fuck on.

  826. Biden drank from a cup on Twitter and it caused Trump to lose his mind. 😂 Trump can give every insult in the world, threaten to lock up his opponents, but give him the slightest nudge and he turns into the biggest snowflake in the world.
    8
  827. Of course he hid things that were in the report. Barr was hired to protect Trump, period. Barr has shown over and over that he's doing just that. I don't think there is a smoking gun in the report, but I'm 100% sure there are embarrassing things that will lead to other investigations in the report that Trump wouldn't want people to see.
    8
  828. I was arguing with a conservative some time ago, and they literally did not care that immigrant children were being separated and thrown into detention centers because "it's the law", but IN THE SAME BREATH, they argued for fighting against abortion (to protect unborn "children") even though it's perfectly legal. These people don't have a real moral center... They're just following whatever they were taught and whatever they "feel"
    8
  829.  @nutznchocolates56  Because the reality is... Without mainstream acceptance it isn't real nor will it become part of public policy. Even though these studies have been saying pretty much the same thing for over a year now.
    8
  830. People aren't aware of your Twitter wars. You should name people and quote what they say instead of just talking about "they".... I've been supporting you guys from the beginning, but I'm getting tired of the constant shadowboxing in these videos. There is value in responding to what REAL people actually say instead of just making up imaginary caricatures and arguing against straw men.
    8
  831. What exactly is the end game for these Republicans? Do they seriously think that when most of the country voted for Biden that they will just accept Trump staying in office? There would be MASSIVE civil unrest. It would make the BLM protests look like a picnic.

  832. It's kind of funny that the black guy married to a white woman is questioning the benefits of diversity.

  833. Yes there are implications to language especially when Conservatives use clips like this to make fun of feminism and the LGBTQ community instead of paying attention to actual real issues of discrimination and marginalization.

  834. Gee I wonder what Allen West would do if the president elect's former campaign manager was still on the payroll of the Kremlin, and the president elect had repeated Russian propaganda on the campaign trail, had the Russian government help him in the election through back channels? Oh right! Nothing. Republican paranoia doesn't apply to white people.
    7
  835. Way to create a straw man Kyle.... Maybe, just maybe, this isn't about a single smoking gun but rather a consistent pattern of behavior with a particular foreign government. 04:30 Guess what? That DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH OBAMA. Obama wasn't constantly repeating propaganda from the Russians, the RNC and Romney wasn't hacked by the Russians, Obama's campaign manager wasn't getting paid by the Russians, Obama didn't obstruct an investigation into his campaign, Obama didn't have millions in investments and debt to Russian oligarchs., Obama didn't have the former FBI director imply that there could be collusion in his sworn testimony, Obama didn't have people in his own party who have access to classified information saying "it looks bad". I could go on and on. The problem isn't a single case, it's an ongoing pattern of behavior that you're IGNORING Yes information in a democracy is a good thing, but when you hack and release information from ONE PARTY and ONE CANDIDATE and not the other then OF COURSE you're going to manipulate an election The population getting skewed information IS NOT FUCKING DEMOCRATIC. Just like money in politics which allows information to be skewed heavily to one side IS NOT DEMOCRATIC. How could you not realize that? Guess what? The RNC WAS ALSO colluding against Trump and was trying to change the rules to not allow Trump to win however it didn't become a huge story because there wasn't a massive leak of their emails. Holy shit how can you be so freaking naive?

  836. SilverAbsol 1. Yawn... Straw man argument.... Get back to me when you're not making up my position.. 2. No it's pretty clear that the death penalty overall is ore costly:  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/03/27/just-cost-death-penalty-killer-state-budgets.html http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/costs-death-penalty 3.  What does the way the justice system work have anything to do with deterrence or the outcome?  Do you somehow think that our justice system is similar to a Gulf State?  Yet somehow you felt that was an appropriate comparison to make. Here are studies done within our own country: http://deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=82 http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work/issues/death-penalty/us-death-penalty-facts/the-death-penalty-and-deterrence 88% of criminologists don't think that the death penalty is a deterrent.  The idea that someone who is committing an irrational act either because they are deranged or in the heat of the moment is going to stop and think about the long term consequences of getting on death row one day is just silly...  People commit crimes because they are deranged or they think they can get away with it. They're not thinking about the long term consequences or somehow weighing the pros and cons. 4.  You're contradicting yourself.  If the death penalty is more of a deterrent than life in prison then your argument and your entire premise doesn't make sense now does it?...
    7
  837. Will the nonsense "Armenian Genocide" commenters now STFU?
    7
  838. Legally Resisting Tyranny So... we've never had rioting in the US over crappy policies? That's kind of what this country is founded on.  And your last statement is nothing more than a obvious straw man.  I might as well say "you probably think that the westboro baptist church, catholic priest pedophiles, and  Anders Behring Breivik are role models of christian peace".  
    7
  839. lol...   Palin still thinks she can be president. :-D
    7
  840. lol... The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was "ice?..." Snails people? Really? Really?.....
    7
  841. Really? You needed a leaked email to know that Clinton didn't want to release her speeches? I'm not sure what the "revelation" here is.... Most of these "leaks" are just repeating the information that we already now, while you guys are treating it as "news". It really isn't.
    7
  842. It amazes me that these people never ask WHY there are single mothers or why there is poverty in these areas.... They pretend they found some magic answer with fatherlessness, yet don't realize that there is no causation in that meaninglessness correlation.
    7
  843. Perhaps we should talk about "international monitors" for our own corrupt elections before we pressure a country halfway across the world to do it...
    7
  844. Now just imagine how Trump's tax returns must look....
    7
  845. Whatever happened to: "Freeze! Drop your weapon!" ? Or does that take longer than 2 seconds to say?
    7
  846. Christ we're still talking about Hillary?... It's been nearly 3 months Kyle, it's time to get over it. And once again comparing a non-profit CHARITY where close to 90% of the funds go to causes to Trump's for profit businesses is a complete false equivalence. Pretending that the state dept can unilaterally make a weapons deal with Saudi Arabia is completely asinine. The US has been making weapon's deals with Saudi Arabia for decades it's not suddenly because of the Clinton Foundation.
    7
  847. Or maybe the cycle will continue as long as we only give a shit when Europeans, Americans, & Israelis are affected and act as if people dying by the hundreds or thousands in other countries are simply collateral damage and a means to gain more influence over our "frenemies" or make multinational corporations more profitable from fossil fuels and minerals.
    7
  848. What's he doing? Maybe he's telling all of you Hillary supporters to wake the hell up.
    7
  849. Honestly Kyle, "Obama" destroys your argument against Clinton as well. If you "hate" and "despise" Clinton because of Wall St, special interests, and corporate favoritism then you should hate and despise Obama just as much.... Not only has he taken just as much money from Wall St, but there are also many examples where he has flipped to support corporate interests against the will of the people (dropping the public option, failing to prosecute Wall St, negotiation of drug prices, TPP, etc.). I'm not saying that the criticisms against Hillary aren't legitimate, they are, however you have to acknowledge that there is far more animosity towards Clinton based on a lot of conjecture and speculation. I don't think that bias is based on sexism I think it's based on the fact that Obama is much more charismatic. Unlike her husband, Hillary is a very in-artful politician. If someone isn't likable it allows people to project whatever bad intent they want onto that person. It's kind of the opposite of Trump where Trump supporters like his personality and it allows them to project whatever they want onto his constant flip flopping positions.
    7
  850. People who think Venezuela's current economic problems are directly the result of socialism have the admit that places like The Congo, Afghanistan, Somalia, and dozens of other 3rd world countries are poor because of capitalism.... However they're not going to to do that because they don't give a shit about facts and consistency they only care about the bullshit propaganda that they've been fed. Look at Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France, Japan, Iceland, Finland, and many other countries that have implemented the exact programs that we've been talking about for years who have more stable economies and better outcomes for education, healthcare, and even innovation. If you're going to ignore all of those countries and instead pretend that Venezuela is somehow representative of those programs and polcies then you really don't care about truth or science. You really don't give a shit about anything except blindly following your ideology like it's a religion.
    7
  851. Not every politician can be Bernie Sanders and yes even Bernie Sanders has made political calculations. Vermont is a very small state where you can go out and connect to almost every person who lives there. Bernie Sanders has been my favorite politician for a long time, but you really need to stop using him as a purity test.
    7
  852. Alex Jones has basically become Pat Robertson... Peddling enough fear so that their audience will tune in to see what they need to be afraid of next all while selling supplements and infomercial shit on the side..
    7
  853. Well the fact is the Republicans are worse and Trump is worse than the Republicans. Sure you can pick out a few bad ideas from Clinton over course of 30 years, much of those ideas she is now denouncing, but those few bad ideas still don't hold a candle to what Trump has campaigned on in the last 6 months.... In the system we have now, voting for Jill Stein is throwing away your vote and giving an advantage to Trump. It is not illogical, it is not fear, it's just the fact of the matter. Pretending that voting for the person that checks all the liberal boxes that you want to hear is "doing something" is just deluding yourself. It isn't doing anything. I like Jill Stein, but she doesn't have a record of governing or implementing any policy. It's easy to show up late to the party every 4 years and claim how much the other guys suck, but the fact is you have done shit yourself. You haven't had to account for ANYTHING other than showing up and campaigning. Then complaining about the other guys. You're less corrupt just by the fact that you haven't been able to do anything yet. To pretend that that counts for something is like pretending that some kid who just got a learners permit is the best race car driver just because he's never been sponsored.
    7
  854. How was that misogynistic? If anything this entire segment is sexist because of your immediate assumptions about his joke. Amy Schumer has made a career pretending she has one night stands all the time, it's not out of line to make a joke about it. He's an awkward teenager who made an awkward joke. He doesn't need the entire world to shame him because of it. This is borderline bullying...
    7
  855. Just because asians are racists in other countries doesn't mean it's okay to be bigoted towards asians in the US. Just because some white people are racist doesn't make it okay to be bigoted against white people. I would think things like this wouldn't need to be pointed out. I would think we would have moved beyond blaming everyone in XYZ category or group for what others did somewhere else.
    7
  856. The "community at whole" wasn't being interviewed, Janet Mock was...    Ben is right, the criticism over Piers Morgan's interview was absolute horseshit. 
    7
  857. Don't quit your day job TYT....
    7
  858. Because obviously a man participated in the creation of that child....
    7
  859. He must be the greatest businessman the world has ever seen to be able to make so much money after Obama singlehandedly destroyed the economies of every country in the world.
    7
  860. So.... we cannot do something good and recognize a hero in our history until all the problems in the world are solved? Please.... Abraham Lincoln is freaking EVERYWHERE with monuments on coins, bills, buildings, etc. Did all the problems get solved just because he signed the emancipation proclamation? Of course not. Thrasher's point is nothing but elitist and bullshit.
    7
  861. They don't need a reason. They just hit "dislike" and comment on Cenk's weight or the Armenian genocide
    7
  862. Trump has always been the swamp. His supporters were just too stupid to see it. Yeah a guy who has been out for himself his entire life is SUDDENLY now altruistic and wants to serve the American people.... How fucking stupid do you have to be?
    7
  863. Hillary somehow doesn't realize that people DO think that Obama sold out to Wall St in many ways and didn't go after them hard enough. The thing that the establishment doesn't seem to realize is that there has been a rise in independents in this country which is now the largest party in the US. Not only that there are more independent thinkers in the democratic and republican party. In other words most don't give two shits about a D or R next to a politicians name like they used to and if she thinks people are going to fall in line over a topic just because "Obama did it" then she's in for a rude awakening.
    7
  864. I honestly don't understand why anyone would be against this... Doing something wrong, taking responsibility, and then spending your life trying to educate people so that it doesn't happen to others seems to me the most admirable thing ever.
    7
  865. +Dante Cammz Because some things ARE about race... If you've ever been bitten by a snake you're probably overly cautious about walking through the woods and as a black person you encounter racist people off and on your entire life. You have no idea whether someone is really being racists or not but you tend to assume the worse because you've been "bitten" so many times... As a white person you don't suffer the same encounters so your perspective on the world is not one of bias or people assuming the worse about you at a job, in a store, on the street, etc. So you grow up with a completely different perspective than someone who has been bitten by racism off and on. This is called "white privilege"
    7
  866. The_Surreal _Cuck You should be more sorry for that sad attempt at an insult.... I expect more cleverness from you, for shame.
    7
  867. The_Surreal _Cuck Neither did yours, but I gave you one anyway :-)
    7
  868. The GOP is imploding.... They can't win with Trump and they can't win without Trump.
    7
  869. Funny how I didn't see any of these lines when I went to CNN..com or WashingtonPost.com.....
    7
  870. It doesn't take a genius to make that prediction. I said the same thing after he was elected.
    7
  871. The "gun laws" that Shapiro was referring to was probably the law against murdering innocent children in schools.
    7
  872. 1. President is being investigated. 2. President fires people investigating him making the president "above the law" That is what you call a constitutional crises. Nowhere did the founders anticipate someone being so corrupt as to abuse their power in such a way. If Hillary Clinton was president and did a fraction of what Trump has been doing over the last 2 years you guys would be going insane.... There were literally over 10 investigations into Benghazi that didn't turn up anything. Several investigations into a less than secure email server that didn't turn up anything. And suddenly any investigation into Trump gets all the brown-shirts to hate everyone who would dare investigate their "dear leader". You guys clearly have no interest in facts or the truth. You're so afraid that your "dear leader" may have actually committed a crime that you will actively help him to prevent an investigation. You people are seriously weak minded for blindly falling into a cult of personality.
    7
  873. It's a good thing that Trump is skinny, fit, and didn't lose his last election with a low approval rating.....
    7
  874. I don't know why you're talking about fascism and Germany, when we already have a long history of voter intermediation in THIS country. Literally 50 years ago it was pretty regular practice to threaten violence against minorities who were voting in the south.
    7
  875. If the vaccine is so safe why did Putin not take it himself instead of giving it to one of his daughters? I'll tell you why, because he already has a spare daughter.
    7
  876. It's really pathetic that we have a president who sits around waiting to see what people say about him on TV. If Obama did that FoxNews would be on him 24/7 for being petty, thin skinned, and ignoring his job.
    7
  877. Van Jones literally went on air after George Floyd was killed suggesting that he shared the blame for giving these people political cover. He then turns around and does the EXACT SAME THING.... These people are so obsessed with access and being in the room that they will sell out their souls in an instant.
    7
  878. 08:16 Cenk you have NO IDEA where/how Colin Powell got infected with Covid. People who are vaccinated can spread the virus almost as easily as people who are unvaccinated. So suggesting that he got it from "reckless people" is absurd. People who are vaccinated may not show symptoms as often, but it doesn't mean they aren't spreading the virus. I think it is more likely that Colin Powell was around people who were already vaccinated. It's not like he was hanging out in random bars.
    7
  879. Sure let's just pretend that scientists haven't been warning of a "dark winter" for months now and people on Fox have been making fun of that for months.
    7
  880. It really doesn't matter to you people how many times they say they want peace and diplomacy does it?
    7
  881. Geez Ana, this is Dog Whistle 101.... Your assertion that the Trump voter might be concerned over a specific trans policy allowing schools to help students with their transition without notifying parents, was NOT BASED ON ANYTHING THE GUY SAID. So how is it that you can make that assumption and Cenk cannot make assumptions based on well known GOP tactics they have used for the past 50 YEARS? Especially when his assumptions are based on all the anti-gay and anti-trans bills that have been put forth ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. You're acting as if you just started covering politics yesterday.
    7
  882. There isn't any class or internship in the world where the student or intern dictates the conditions of the learning. He is responsible for everyone in the group, not her. If someone get hurt it's on him.
    7
  883. Trump literally made up an investigation into Biden in order to win the 2020 election and the GOP and the right wing media ran with it for the past 3 years and created a fake congressional investigation. Never mind 4 years they spent on Benghazi and the 2 years they spent on an email scandal that yielded NOTHING and somehow Rogan thinks that Democrats get away with everything and don't get investigated.
    7
  884. 05:48 His parents are morons who somehow don't know that 5G is already "on" in the US and Canada.... 🤦‍♂️
    7
  885. Propaganda is often popular, because you're feeding people what they want to hear instead of truth/facts. Sellouts and grifters often gain a lot of popularity manufacturing an image and lying to their audience.
    7
  886. Everyone should be frightened of a government willing to use unprecedented emergency powers against protestors. Setting this precedent means that the same tactic can be used against "left wing" protestors or indigenous groups that dare to disrupt commerce in anyway. You don't need emergency powers to arrest people. Dozens have already been arrested.
    7
  887. Damn Ana needs to get out of her bubble already... There is always more than one way to send a message, not every message is meant for Ana. You don't know what is going to be effective or not, so when you have the opportunity you need to GO FOR IT... Republicans know this, but for some reason the Left gets caught up in their high browed commentary.
    7
  888. My favorite part was how he didn't want to accuse Eric Coomer of running into a building, but has no problems saying he was part of the "greatest crime the world has ever seen" 😂😂
    7
  889. I knew Chris Christie was going to rise in the polls as soon as he announced, because of exactly what Cenk said. He's not going to overtake Trump or anything (unless he goes to jail before the primary), but there's only so much that Trump can say about Christie. Meanwhile Christie will keep hitting Trump on DOZENS of things especially while being indicted. The media will also continue to platform him because of it.
    7
  890. Meghan McCain is such trash. YES it does matter that Biden saw he did something wrong and apologized for it. So pretending that it was somehow the same as Trump and "embarrassing" and interrupting your other host reasonably making that point is nothing more than trailer park garbage.
    7
  891. Trump is an absolutely terrible orator.... My god, after 3.5 years what the hell is your speech writer doing? It literally sounds like a 4th grader wrote it the night before it was due by plagiarizing the worse parts of other speeches. All Trump is good for is riling up a crowd like a WWE wrestler.
    7
  892. I respect Krystal Ball, but her commentary makes zero sense... Please tell me how replacing "impeachment" with an EVEN WEAKER RESPONSE of "censure" help the Democratic party? Oh yeah the Republicans pursuing Benghazi sure hurt the GOP! They only won the Presidency, House, and Judicial branch in 2016.... It's like they pulled these points out of their ass based on how they feel instead of reality. The reality is the cost of not pursuing impeachment has the effect of depressing your base. You want to lose 2020? Give Trump a slap on the wrist and wag your finger for 4 years while he's committing crimes and do nothing about it.
    7
  893. Honestly you guys talking about this "story" contributes more to the nonsense culture war than a football player's offhand comments. It's amazing how you're not more self-aware. You're laughing at a football team losing a game because one of the players said something you didn't like. It's really weird...
    7
  894. It's almost as if "collective punishment" is a bad thing and completely counter-productive...
    7
  895. Hypocrisy is completely lost on most conservatives, because logic is just an inconvenient tool that they only use to justify their bias and emotions.
    7
  896. I stared at that mural for a few minutes trying to guess what people were complaining about and I was totally wrong. 😂
    7
  897. Would be nice if there was the same amount of outpouring of sympathy from these same countries for all the Iraqi refugees we created.
    7
  898.  @bodiminds6571  The current president has a secret bank account in China. Never mind his shady dealings with ZTE and still won't disclose his tax returns. Meanwhile you're asking about "shares"? Seriously? 😂
    7
  899. Not sure if BTS or any k-pop band are the right spokespeople to talk about "diversity" when all k-pop bands, especially BTS, are highly manufactured and groomed for very specific look.
    7
  900. "Anyone can do what I did". Sure, let's see the same thing happen for a black guy without a camera crew or Hispanic guy with an accent. People seriously don't understand the amount of automatic "trust" comes that comes from seeing a white face that looks and talks like them. Especially when there's a camera crew...
    7
  901. trippplefive It speaks volumes that "interesting character" is more important to you than policies....
    7
  902. "I'll be forthright and bold after Trump has been indicted for the 3rd time, but at the time I was happy to be cuck and a sycophant"
    7
  903. Only a snowflake lib would think that racial slurs and racial attacks have anything to do with race. The guy doesn't even see color, he just made a random guess that they were Asian. You should praise the guy for being able to guess correctly and overcome his disability for seeing colors and race. /s
    7
  904. I'm guessing it's more for kids..... So they were probably less interested in fitting every single adult. It would be one thing if ALL the rides had this limit, but if it's just a few rides catering more to young kids then maybe get over it? Maybe it's not really the end of the world or some sort of oppression that you can't get on one ride out of dozens?
    7
  905. It's weird how the same people who cry "fake news!" don't seem to care when Trump lies to their face over and over. 🤔 It's almost as if they even enjoy being lied to as long as it "triggers the left"
    7
  906. "Social Security is terrible, but for those who have it and are about to get it, Social Security is amazing and fantastic, but for everyone else it is terrible"
    7
  907. It's using their own insult against them to point out the hypocrisy in pretending that other people are "snowflakes" when in fact they engage in that behavior more than anyone else. I hate to have to spell it out, but I guess some people just don't get subtext.
    7
  908. Are they making things "healthier" or are they just saving money by charging the same price for less food?
    7
  909. Blocking people on twitter is a feature of the platform, it's not about free speech, even you do that Ana so stop with the hypocrisy. You also agreed with Trump and Alex Jones getting canceled. Like you said, everyone is a hypocrite. That said, I don't believe for a second anything that Musk claims about twitter or anything else. He's a glorified snake oil salesman.
    7
  910. Asking people to answer a question based on whatever propaganda they've been subjected to is incredibly useless, yet we keep doing this nonsense over and over. We really need to change our politics from being based on opinions to being based on facts and actual investigation.
    7
  911. It's inappropriate. It's awkward. It's bad, but it's not to the level of "grab them by the P and they let you do it" bad. He mistook a pretty new employee that was being nice to him as some kind of "signal" and decided to see if she was interested. Do you think that in his mind he was "preying" on people? Probably not. He probably just thought he could try to get a girlfriend at work. I would be more interested in knowing if he was specifically hiring people based on how attracted he was to them....
    7
  912. Typical crap TV... It's going to be scripted, most of them are going to be attractive, you can already tell that they are all in shape anyway.
    7
  913. I like how they pretend as if Trump didn't get special treatment on social media for 4 years simply because he was president. If Trump was a regular joe he would have gotten banned years ago and there wouldn't be a special board meeting to discuss bringing him back.
    7
  914. Why do you suddenly care what a small group said in a totally different country? I'm sorry, but the idea that this is somehow an issue in THIS country is effing absurd.
    7
  915. You don't even know what that word means.
    7
  916. This video is far more interesting and informative than anything I've seen on TikTok.
    7
  917. Calling Trump a "Populist Bomb thrower" is a sophisticated way of saying that Trump is nothing more than a Troll....
    7
  918. People born with a silver spoon in their mouths feel entitled to win and be right about everything. Reality doesn't matter, because it's never had to matter to them.
    7
  919. Hartman always bringing the facts, Robby gets a pat on the head for being able to remember his vapid talking points.
    7
  920. It amazes me how TYT doesn't see their own blind spot.... You do the exact same thing this article talks about. Throughout the pandemic you engaged in the same over the top rhetoric and demonized anyone who disagreed 1% with your established culture war narrative regardless of the science. I hate to break it to you, but you guys make money from social media and your business model thrives on aggressive and over-the-top reactions. Just look at your thumbnails for Christ's sake.... Then you pretend as if it's only the topics you decided should be nuanced are the ones being blown out of proportion. Also let's not pretend it is just affluent people asking to "defund the police", that was a complete disconnect between the activists and the pundits discussing the topic. Pundits pretended it was about getting rid of policing as opposed to taking a critical look at how we're allocating funds to the benefit of neighborhoods (in other words a nuanced conversation). It was a communication problem created by pundits like you which had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how wealthy you are.
    7
  921. He supports striking, even though he just called it "myopic". 🤔 In other words he got so much pushback he's back peddling.
    7
  922. People forget that "old man Biden" cleaned Trump's clock during their debate. Trump is only good at rhetorical quips, he knows nothing about policy. So if he discusses actual policy he falls on his face.
    7
  923. Republicans have absolutely no shame. Somehow it was their duty to impeach Clinton for lying about a blowjob, yet when Trump does ten times the crimes (literally 10 counts of obstruction) they pretend it's because they don't like Trump..
    7
  924. It's amazing that conservatives think by just telling people to get married over and over that it will somehow magically happen. It's no different than the same dumb mindset of blaming "fatherlessness" on everything while not providing any solutions to fixing it and just telling people to "not do that".
    7
  925.  @h2lo704  Regardless of my personal vote for Kamala... if you don't understand that ultimately there is one person at the top of the ticket who needs to convince people to vote for them then you're truly a lost cause. Bitching at millions of nameless faceless randos isn't going to change that dynamic nor will it win elections.
    7
  926. My opinion is that lethal force should never be used on someone running away. It's clear the guy was driving away, and the cop shot him to stop him from running. Saying that it is "theoretically possible" that the driver "might" hit someone later is just trying to justify murder. The idea that police should murder people to stop them from driving away would be seen as crazy in most other industrialized countries, but in this country, we've decided to normalize "street executions" for anyone doing something wrong in front of police. Meanwhile we criticize other countries that do public beheadings.
    7
  927. "There's something about her face that makes me feel bad for her"... Is something often said about white women and never said about POC, especially men. Just sayin...
    7
  928.  @moisesinfantes2797  Sounds like a lot of crazy talk that justifies violence, death, and suffering.
    7
  929. Look my fellow progressives... You cannot call it "empowering" and wonderful when a woman, trans-woman, etc. decides to wear make up, be sexy, etc. and then turn around say it's "wrong", "sexist" and "objectifying" when the Dalai Lama voices a desire to be "hot". Wanting to be attractive and beautiful is a human condition. We all have these desires. Don't turn it into something else just because it comes from a man or a religious figure.
    7
  930. Raw milk has never been a right/left thing I don't know why we have to turn everything into a right/left issue. It was super popular in California for decades. Anything "raw" including sprouts and sushi is fine as long as it is treated properly and tested for pathogens.
    7
  931. Ironic given that there are clips of Hershel Walker when he was younger complaining about racism he faced. Older Hershel Walker would have told his younger self to GTFO.
    7
  932. 04:20 Pretty obvious that the table just fell over from the loose dirt and the heavy objects sitting on top of it.... The only containers that were open were those where the lids weren't on tight when they fell. The rest were still closed. Also the rest of the room was fine, it was just that one table that fell over. Next time put something other the table legs so so they don't sink into the dirt when heavy things are put on top of it.
    7
  933. Your "expert" has nothing to offer but "maybe" "could be". She doesn't sound like a scientist, she sounds like she's talking out of her ass like any other pundit. A risk assessment takes the last known model for not killing millions of people, A risk assessment DOES NOT guess what "might be" based on making crap up... If you're not working with actual facts, then shut up about being a "scientist".
    7
  934. Pete makes some good points, but his policies are awful. He's just running to be the next Obama. We don't need Obama right now, we need Bernie.
    7
  935. 0:37 This woman doesn't understand the words "literally" or "burned down". I'm pretty sure these cities still exist 😂
    7
  936. I've never gone unto a store and been so upset over seeing something that I didn't want to buy that I needed to talk to a manager and have a conversation about me not wanting to buy it... These people have a mental illness.

  937. In before the flood of dislikes over this nonsense stunt.

  938. Honestly, at this point you're just prolonging things. The fact that they haven't dropped the patents lets you know that this is as much about profits as it is about keeping the world safe. These companies will pitch 3rd, 4th, & 5th boosters to 1st world countries while not really being concerned about anywhere else.

  939. 02:38 In case they get captured? But Trump only likes people who weren't captured...
    7
  940. Gee I wonder why 8 years of people being constantly racist towards the 1st black president would cause people to think race relations were bad? 🤔
    7
  941. This is what you get when you elect a "businessman" as president.... You get someone who cares more about making a buck than serving this country.
    7
  942. Cenk acting as if "trans participation in professional sports" is an actual election issue is like pretending as if "sexy M&Ms" is a real election issue and you would be stupid and selfish to be against "sexy M&Ms" because they are polling so well.
    7
  943. The reason the right wing targets drag queens and trans people is because they represent a smaller part of the population. Easier to single out and demonize. They'll target smaller and smaller groups until it's just "Todd who lives off of 5th street"

  944. To be fair, your complaining about other news outlets talking about Russia is 5000% more than your own coverage on Yemen.

  945. Probably one of the worse ways of dying is being stuck in a small container with a bunch of rich assholes slowly suffocating to death.
    7
  946. Trump has a long history of running scams and getting away with it (Trump University, Trump Foundation, etc.) He had every intention of making money from his presidency. Anyone who believes that a man who has spent his life trying to make himself rich, while never giving anything to charity, suddenly wants to run for president in order to serve the American people is a complete and total moron. Unfortunately I know some of those morons. It's hard to look them in the eye knowing how stupid they were.
    7
  947. Let's be clear.... This is a standard stretching exercise. The only reason there are multiple people there is to help stretch your limbs, because it's hard to do on your own without special equipment. It's not like they just grabbed her off the street and held her down. She volunteered to do it and they just went further than she wanted, period. Not sure why people don't get that context. So in that sense it is a "normal practice". Also if you watch the full video she was let go right after she repeatedly protested.
    7
  948. It doesn't get any crazier than tweeting from a dead guy's account who wouldn't be dead if it weren't for the guy he supported. Somehow I don't think Biden/Kamala could produce anything crazier than that.

  951. ​ @dfriddles23  Being vaccinated has nothing to do with protecting others. People who are fully vaccinated can spread the virus almost as easily as people who are unvaccinated. See the recent study showing only a minor reduction in transmission of the Delta variant in the same household. So you are actually putting people in danger by perpetuating the idea that vaccines significantly impact the spread. This is probably why us and a lot of other countries had a huge spike in cases over the summer because people started letting down their guard after being vaccinated. Being vaccinated is about protecting YOURSELF and reducing symptoms once you get infected. However when you start making up reasons for policies instead of being straightforward. you start to lose people's trust. We already learned from Prohibition that making blanket oppressive policies is not without it's downsides, despite the good intentions of trying to save people from themselves.
    7
  952. Not sure where that weird gender critique came from. I once went into work right after breaking my leg... Plenty of men and women have a tough work ethic. It's actually not really something to be that proud of to be honest. We pretend that work is more important than anything else.

  953. Right wing mindset is always: "They deserve what they get because we're awesome and they're not"

  955. We could all voluntarily pay taxes, voluntarily drive under the speed limit, voluntarily show id when we fly, we could all voluntarily put out fires, and stop at intersections. There is a reason why laws and regulations exist. This guy thinks he's being profound, but he's only being profoundly stupid.

  957. omg..... I felt smarter just listening to Michael. He was one of the best guy's out there for nuanced commentary.
    7
  958. Easier said than done.... Cenk, understand that Progressives are NOT in the same position of Conservatives. Conservatives have media empires behind them (Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, Blaze, etc.). Conservatives have huge donors behind them. Conservatives also don't have to mean what they say. So they have the flexibility of saying whatever they need to in order to get elected while supporting corporate interests. The GOP establishment couldn't care less about the crazy things they say to get elected. This is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE to progressives where the establishment is against them, the media is against them, and the donor money is against them. So without a larger coalition it is far more likely that Sanders or any other progressive politician would get pushed out quicker than he could push out a corporate democrat by directly going after them. It is ridiculous to automatically think that by talking tougher you can immediate get your way. That really isn't how things work as both you and Nina Turner figured out. There wouldn't even be a real progressive political movement without Bernie Sanders. So many others have tried and failed to get as far as Bernie has.
    7
  959. You're actually not making any sense. Some people don't care about nutrition labels on foods and drinks, but a lot of people rely on that information daily. Having the government research these things is actually a good thing even if some people don't care about recommendations.
    7
  960. Why is going around calling people "pedophiles" without evidence a thing now? It's like Q-anon has melted people's brains so much they can't form a thought beyond just seeing pedophiles everywhere.
    7
  961. Keep in mind that normally you can go on a tour of the governor's mansion. However they are no longer having tours due to the pandemic. People have tried to call this week to setup a tour of his mansion since according to Kemp the state is open... But apparently Kemp doesn't think that all businesses should open. Gee I wonder why? 🤔

  962. Like John Stewart said when he went on Crossfire: "Stop hurting America Tucker".

  963. Right Wing "We're not fascists" Also Right Wing: "Lets Fire, Imprison, and use the 2nd Amendment against anyone who disagrees with me,".
    7
  964. Then all you're doing is teaching your kids to ignore oppression when they see it. Just because you decided to not see color, doesn't mean that the world operates that way. Most minorities don't have the option to just wake up and decide that their color, religion, sexual orientation, etc. doesn't matter. But it's nice that you took a single line from MLK and "decided" that was the end of it.
    7
  965. Everyone online who engages in discussions on race knows that the phrase "it's okay to be white" is something used by white supremacists to downplay ANY discussion on racial bias, systemic racism, etc. It's was used repeatedly on many TYT videos as well. Being against that phrase is being against what it was used for, NOT literally being against white people. It's the equivalent of being against images of "pepe the frog". You're not literally against cartoon frogs you're against the racists who use that imagery. So it's not surprising that a lot of black people would respond negatively to that phrase and many were "unsure" because they didn't know if the poll was asking about the literally meaning or the implied racist meaning. The only reason you would create a poll with that specific phrase is to get that type of reaction.
    7
  966. No I think Tulsi came to the defense of Biden because she wants to leave the door open in case he's looking for a female VP pick... I don't like Tulsi because I just don't believe her. Her track record isn't long enough were I can trust her moral compass. She came around way to late on some issues. Issues that anyone running for office should have been clear on long ago... She used to date a staunch republican Micheal Grimm, the guy who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony for asking him the wrong questions. He also went to jail for tax evasion and fraud. Nothing wrong with dating people you disagree on some issues with, but you cannot tell me you're a real progressive and found it okay to sleep in the same bed with someone who wants to ban abortion, give more funding to is real, repeal Obamacare, etc. The guy wasn't exactly a moderate by any stretch.
    7
  967. I like how Republicans pretend to care about facts and that liberals care about their feelings, but then proceed to never use a single fact in their arguments... 😂 10:12 "I'm not saying it's rational, I'm just saying what's going to happen!!!" LMAO! 😂😂😂
    7
  968. 03:27 Also Iran, the Kurds, and Russia were integral in defeating ISIS, but I bet most Americans don't know this. I bet most think that it was somehow the US fighting ISIS alone. The fact is ISIS would be a much bigger threat today if it wasn't for Soleimani, the guy that Trump decided to assassinate for politics. So this same misinformation against countries we don't like is still happening today.
    7
  969. Sorry I don't get it... The woman was one year away from the age of consent, and he ended up marrying her and having a child with her. So obviously he wasn't a "predator", he had had genuine feelings for her. I really don't care about the age difference as long as it works for them. I certainly don't think he should get 30 years in prison or register as a sex offender because of it either.

  972. I was tempted by Established Titles months ago, then after a little research realized it was just a money grab. There have been many people talking about ET way before that crypto guy. So I was a bit disappointed when you started doing ads for them, but unlike other YouTubers at least you called it a "novelty gift" so your viewers weren't taking it seriously. However if you wanted to donate money to plant trees their are far cheaper ways of doing it than spending 50-100 dollars for someone to print out "Lord" + "your name" on a fake certificate
    7
  973. Trump supporters only care that Trump doesn't sound like a polished politician. They only care about how he makes them feel. He could lie to their face every day and it doesn't matter. All they care about is supporting their irrational notions about running a country,
    7
  974. The caller is completely misguided.... For some reason he doesn't get that it DOES NOT MATTER who you elect, the right wing will find something to smear them with. What you need is someone who is willing to FIGHT because the right wing doesn't respond to weakness and compromise, they respond to strength. The best way to fight is with policies that the American people are behind and have proven to work. The strategy of triangulation doesn't work anymore. This isn't the 1990's...
    7
  975. 1. The idea that criticizing Russia is leading to war with Russia is just as dumb as saying criticizing Israel is leading us to war with Israel (or is antisemitic). Those ideas are completely unrelated unless you have an agenda to make them related. 2. I'm sick and tired of this idea that the left has to coddle Trump to make him not do something stupid with a foreign country... The guy is FUCKING PRESIDENT not a toddler, if he fucks some shit up it's entirely his fault, or the fault of his advisers, not ours.

    7
  978. 1. Saying "vaccinate or test" makes no sense when vaccination doesn't stop you from transmitting the virus. 2. The number of professional athletes who have been hospitalized over Covid in this country is approximately 0. There was a study on elite athletes and the only athlete who had complications with Covid was like one person in Europe with immune problems. Allowing an audience full of obese fans with various comorbidities to crowd around each other to watch a game while not allowing healthy athletes with no comorbidities to play is just nonsensical.
    7
  979. It was hilarious when conservatives were trying to justify Trump's "injecting disinfectants and UV light" statements. 😂 "You know what he trying to say..." "No I don't, please explain to me what he was trying to say" 😂
    7
  980. There are people making minimum wage unable to take time off for their families, freezing in warehouses, having to pee in bottles... Meanwhile we're supposed to have sympathy for someone that made millions of dollars a year who decided to quit (because they are rich enough to do so), all because they didn't always get to talk when they wanted to and the other host said they didn't miss arguing with her.
    7
  981. In about a week or two a Trump supporter will claim that right wingers are peaceful and reasonable. That only the left is violent because of Antifa.... a group who has never killed or tried to kill anyone.
    7
  982. The culture war around vaccinations has gotten out of control. F*cking settle down people. If people die more because they are unvaccinated, then let them. Getting angry over it is a complete waste of time at this point. Yes the vaccines protect you more from severe symptoms and death, but they don't stop the variants from spreading. We're not stopping Covid at this point, it's going to be with us for years to come. Pretty soon EVERYONE will catch a version of Covid and the population will build a long term immunity to it. Yelling back and forth and demonizing people for not doing everything to protect themselves is literally driving everyone crazy.
    7
  983. To me it seems pretty clear that Will Smith is suffering from some deep psychological/emotional issues in his personal life. Going from smiling and laughing to physical violence in the same moment is like being bipolar.

  984. Why do cops have tasers if it's not for situations like this? Tasers were supposed to be the alternative to shooting someone ... Now a tasers are simply used to handle unruly people while guns are used stop anyone who might be dangerous. It's INSANE.
    7
  985. People who boosted their careers over the past 5 years acting as if they are objective and honest by debunking "Russiagate" and jumping on the "Hunter Biden" conspiracy bandwagon are finally getting called out on their BS.
    7
  986. The problem is people like him swallowing the bullshit from conservative media that brainwashes people into believing rich people should be worshipped simply because they have money. Guess what? That "monopoly money" you own is nothing more than a social contract. It only has value because it is backed by the US government that we all support. Having money and being able to invest it doesn't somehow make you "better" than a bus driver. That elitist mentality really makes me sick....
    7
  987. I went to the ER a few years ago for a broken wrist and one of the nurses there said "Don't worry we're going to give you the good stuff, we're going to give you Fentanyl..." I don't know if it was because I'm black and in his mind he assumed I would be looking forward to drugs, but I'm actually the opposite so I started freaking out. I was like "What? Why the heck would you give me something like that? isn't that super strong?" The entire time people were trying to give me pain meds that I didn't really need. (yes I was in pain, but it was completely tolerable). I didn't even get the oxycodone prescription they gave me, because I just don't take pain killers unless I really need to. A few months after that I started hearing about an "opioid epidemic" and I wasn't surprised based on how this hospital was constantly peddling pain meds...
    7
  988. More like a capitalist enjoying the privileges of socialism. Hard to be a capitalist when you don't have roads, sidewalks, currency, laws, court systems, police, clean water, clean air, legal regulated entities like "corporations" or "LLCs", etc.

  990. 04:11 "Why should FL only have to deal with Hurricanes?" "Why should CA only have to deal with earthquakes?" What kind of logic is that Cenk? Obviously border patrol and immigration is funded by the federal government. Why are you acting as if it isn't? What kind of "both sides" BS is this? As if CA doesn't also have a border with Mexico and a pretty wealthy city (San Diego) right next to the border... Obviously if a city isn't expecting a bunch of migrants then suddenly dumping people with no notice is going to be an issue. Just like suddenly dumping a bunch of snow and ice in FL would be an issue even if you like snow. I get sick and tired of progressives reaching to make right wing arguments in order to appear "balanced" and appeal to the tiny amount of right wingers that might be watching.
    7
  991. Alex Jones doesn't live in a reality where people are "dying from Covid due to being unvaccinated". So you're asking the wrong question. People on Fox DO know however I suspect they justify it by glorifying their position as being a messenger for the "right wing perspective".

Jimmy's emotion gave us Trump, two supreme court justices, escalation of drone strikes, civilians dead in a botched Syrian raid, 24 immigrants dead, concentration camps, a rise in hate crimes, right wing domestic terrorism, and possibly thousands of people dead because Trump and the GOP rolled back Obamacare. Thanks Jimmy, your tactics worked out perfectly....

  1000. There is certainly a lot of waste in government, however most people don't realize that there is also A TON of waste in the private sector... I've seen people waste millions of dollars on nothing more than corporate politics and complete incompetence. Showing that you're spending money becomes more important than doing a good job for your clients. Venture Capital and speculation are just other words for gambling, however when your "investment" goes down the toilet no one complains about waste just like no one brags about losing a lot of money playing black jack. Capitalism is the few winners telling the story about the "american dream" while the many losers stay silent in the shadows.

  1002. +Jersey Boy Funny how you take a story about washing feet and showing kindness just to regurgitate a completely unrelated talking point that's been circulating around right wing media for a month or so. As if one act has anything to do with the other. As if vatican city, which is the size of your average apartment complex, has anything to to do with the immigration policies of an entire country.

  1003. comb528491 False Dilemma or False Dichotomy fallacy....  This isn't a multiple choice quiz.   I'l say it as plainly as I can....  A society's criminal justice system should be designed solely to reduce the amount of crimes and aberrant behavior in that society, period.  It shouldn't be about vengeance, it shouldn't be about "an eye for an eye".  If we wanted to base our justice on what the victim's feel, then we might as well bring back lynch mobs, or create torture rooms so that victims can stab and beat up criminals personally.   Victims need to get counseling for their trauma.  Killing someone as quickly as possible (who often times is innocent) just to try to make a victims or families or victims "feel better" is not how a society should work.  A society should be focused on making sure there are LESS murders, LESS rapist, and keep people from going into jail one way and coming out much worse. I care about OUTCOMES and RESULTS not vengeance.   The US imprisons more people than any other industrialized country.  The US is also one of the last industrialized nations to have the death penalty and yet our recidivism rate is HIGHER than most other countries and our murder rates are also HIGHER than most other countries.  So CLEARLY this macho tough attitude IS NOT FUCKING WORKING....   It's about time we start caring about what works instead of feeding our own blood-lust.

  1004. Every response from Eugene and Paul in the middle is "Hillary got more votes" Yeah... we know, but what does that have to do with the topic at hand? There are hundreds of reasons to why Hillary got more votes. Name recognition, establishment support far more press coverage (and favorable press coverage), closed primaries, etc. It's pretty disingenuous to pretend that every issue is invalid simply because she got more votes.
    6
  1005. Intelligent yet you haven't mentioned a single policy that Hillary supports that helps minorities more so than Bernie. You mentioned Sanders standing up for African Americans during the Civil rights movements, but what about ALL THE TIMES he stood against legislation that was hurtful to minorities that Clinton supported? What about ALL THE TIMES he stood up for minorities when it came to Ferguson, police brutality, stop and frisk, prison reform, marijuana legalization, etc.. He's been there every step of the way. Sorry, but as an African American in Georgia, I find your response completely retarded....

  1006. No, racists were enraged by Obama in 2008 and emboldened by Trump in 2016. Many people who protested against Obama in 2008 (Birthers, called him a Muslim, etc) were inclined to be racists. People protesting against Trump today are fighting against racism. People emboldened by Obama in 2008 where happy that a black man could become president and hopeful at the prospect of a change in policies from the Bush Administration. Many people emboldened by Trump in 2016 are happy that their fears against Muslims and minorities are justified and many are hopeful that he will bring back jobs and fight against the establishment. It's pretty obvious when you actually care about the facts of the situation.
    6
  1007. It is a sexist question but at the same time there is a place for sexism...  The fact is the two sexes are not the same.   A couple having a child represents a huge burden on a woman biologically, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Depending on the parents that unequal burden can decrease substantially as the child gets older, but lets not pretend that everything between the two sexes are equal when they are clearly not.
    6
  1008. +evrobins Again taking one joke and extrapolating it to the entirety history of black oppression is nonsense. You can criticize Maher all you want on actual policies. Just like you can criticize the Clintons on actual policies and ideas. However getting outraged over PC bullshit only hurts the cause. Someone going to prison for a bullshit charge, hurts people. Someone getting shot for being black and getting out their wallet, hurts people. However Maher using the n-word on himself as a self deprecating joke doesn't actually hurt anyone except those getting outraged about it. Only because they feel they should be outraged about it simply because the person who said it was white. You are the one giving that word it's power over you, period. Honestly you get to a point where you start to sound just as ridiculous as White Supremacist talking about white genocide just because of interracial marriage.
    6
  1009. Kyle you seem to forget that RT had two anchors quit over the Crimea situation because they were basically given marching orders to defend Putin in that conflict. I'm subscribed to RT and yes there are some good host and sometimes they can provide a good prospective. However it is OBVIOUS that they have a Russian bias and they also have a Trump bias. Furthermore it's kind of hypocritical for you to be nuanced when it comes to RT yet when the news came out of the CIA (that later proved to be true) you decided to completely ignore it.

  1010. Trump went full Palin by the last half of the debate. He was incomprehensible and unhinged.
    6
  1011. Well she acted presidential and it kind of worked.... She expected Trump to implode and he did. He made a good point on NAFTA, but after that he fell into a Palin-esque hot mess. He looked like a rambling buffoon and she looked knowledgeable and presidential. I'm sure the core Trump supporters were fine, but he definitely didn't do himself any favors. Overall she won that debate easily. I've been saying for the last 3 months to wait until the first debate before you start parsing poll numbers, not sure why you would think Trump would win a debate with someone who knows what they are doing.

The fact is there are a "libertarian paradises" all over the world in the form of third world countries...  There is reason for that.  What libertarians really want are all the protections and prosperity they've inherited from having stable and functioning government for the past two centuries but without having to pay or contribute to it.

This is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic, I can hear a quote like that and understand the truth behind it philosophically without having a pavlovian response of "OMG" disgust that many Atheists have. If that quote came from a poem or Shakespeare Dave wouldn't have thought twice about it... Just because people do stupid things in the name of religion doesn't meant that the person who wrote that specific statement hundreds of years ago wasn't a wise mother fucker.... See "truth" for what it is, don't get caught up in the bullshit surrounding it.

I don't believe in escalating a conflict or anything, however just brushing it off is just as dumb as George Bush brushing off Osama Bin Ladin when he got into office. Believe it or not Russia does a lot of shady shit just like we do.

The fact is NOT A SINGLE private organization caught this problem.  Nor did they catch the problems of food contamination, mad cow disease, or the deaths due to poor work safety standards.   Just because it is easier to "rate shit online" doesn't change this reality.  People who believe the private sector will magically start "protecting people" instead of "make money" are simply brainwashed by propaganda funded by our oligarchy.  Furthermore they have absolutely no knowledge of history....  The private sector didn't magically stop using child labor, they didn't magically stop killing people in coal mines, they didn't magically stop polluting our air and waters. People do not have perfect knowledge of what they buy.  This is why we hire people knowledgeable in certain fields in order to look out for the public good.  We do this through our governments.

Same reason why racially motivated police violence is scary to people when a random police stop could mean your death or an arrest simply because of your race. If you don't understand that then get effing educated...

  1044. #1 cause of all deaths is cardiovascular disease. Which also has absolutely nothing to do with this story. Also there is no such thing as "B on B crime". ALL races are more likely to kill the same race. White people are more likely to be killed by another white person. Asian people are more likely to be killed by another Asian person. Why? because most often same race people live around each other. It has nothing to do with their genetics. However "B on B crime" is a trope used by ignorant racists to feel better about themselves.

We need to support the most progressive person PERIOD. Not the female, gay guy, black person, etc. Remember people It is EASY to tear down a person it is much HARDER to tear down an IDEA.

  1047. Body positivity is one thing. Health is another. We should ALWAYS respect can love people no matter what their size is, but lets not fool ourselves into pretending that all sizes are just as healthy when they're not. We shouldn't tell a 300 pound woman that she's okay and healthy anymore than we should tell a 50 pound woman who is skin and bones that she's healthy. There are healthy weights for humans and I don't know anyone who has survived to a super old age being super obese. It just doesn't happen. US Life expectancy has been dropping... We're not going to fix that by thinking happy thoughts and pretending everything is okay when it's not.

  1050. Ryan, I appreciate the sentiment... but the reason why we have a "Black History Month" is because these things weren't/aren't being taught in school to begin with... I'm pretty sure every Black American would love to live in a country where historical black figures were given the same attention and reverence as historical white figures. This concept isn't new, it is something people have spent over a century advocating for. You pretend as if having a black history month or a special class is preference rather than just an attempt at getting SOME recognition for the contribution that historical black figures have made to this country. It would be great if you could snap your fingers and have these things taught in schools all across the country and have white teachers in southern states give the same attention as they do to Washington or Lincoln, but that isn't the world we live in.

Which is when I stopped listening to him. Now has he owned up to this mistake? Is the country better off with a quarter million people dead and being on the verge of war with Iran? Is Bernie Sanders the president elect? Are we better off with hundreds of conservative judges that were appointed? Is he is on the record admitting his f*ckup? If so I might start listening to him again. Otherwise he's a waste of time and just the Trump of the Left, all bravado and no solutions.

  1067. It's been around for over half a century and yet it still requires billions in subsides just for the industry to stay afloat. Nuclear has never been "promising" and solar has been killing it in costs per KW for a while now. Furthermore it takes nearly a decade to plan and build a facility. It is not as "clean" as solar or wind when you take under consideration building a facility, diverting and treating water, waste, uranium enrichment, and decommissioning. So I have no idea where people are getting the idea that it's "promising". It makes me think that there is some kind of pro nuclear campaign going on somewhere. It might have been promising like 30 years ago, but solar technology has doubled in efficiency since then.

I'm pretty sure knocking on doors with a gun is less criminal than brandishing a gun and assaulting a man. Noth Carolina is an open carry state, for all they know the man they got a call about was 100% in his right to carry a gun. But if you're a black man, you're automatically a dangerous criminal who should be put down even if there is a remote possibility that you have a gun. The guy is a racist and sadistic piece of shit.

For them to go from calling out the main stream media and "bothsidesism" only for them to create their own version of it and call it "moderate progressivism" or whatever has been the saddest things I have ever witnessed in media. Even sadder that they seem completely oblivious to it.

  1090. Disagree Cenk. The longer impeachment is in the news, the worse it is for Trump. The Republicans are going to spin it ANYWAY. Having a quick vote and accusing them of voting to acquit a criminal is just "he said she said" at that point. How is a quick vote in the Senate going to make it look like the GOP did anything wrong? The longer she holds onto the articles the more the GOP is forced to protect Trump. Obviously it all depends on how they handle the politics which is always a risk when it comes to the Democrats, but what also will happen is that MORE impeachable crimes are going to be revealed because this isn't the only thing that Trump has done wrong. There are still ongoing cases on Trump's organizations, tax returns, deutsche bank, etc.

It's funny how Markle is to blame for Prince Philip dying because she gave an "interview" YET somehow Trump, as POTUS, is not to blame for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died when there are literally studies that show that half of those people wouldn't have died if we took the pandemic more seriously. Never mind how Trump dismissed wearing masks for most of 2020, never mind the rallies that he held where Herman Cain died shortly afterwards. Never mind the fact that he literally locked himself in a car while he was infected with secret service members. We're supposed to believe that all of those deaths had nothing to do with Trump yet an "interview" caused a 99 year old man to die....

Just because a party chooses to use the Russia investigation politically doesn't somehow negate the mountains of evidence, indictments, and arrests that have come out during the course of the investigation. Jimmy Dore is becoming the progressive Alex Jones. Instead of being objective and basing his opinions on the evidence he constantly cherry picks and creates his own narrative based on his own delusions. It's one thing to say something is blown out of proportion, but to call it "completely made up" is a level of absurdity that I just can't hang with.

  1117.  @NoOne-go3ml  It absolutely does matter when you're talking about scale and mass mobilization of resources. A private company was never going to develop satellites and put a man in space in the 60's or develop nuclear technology. Just like a private company isn't going to transform the country into using 100% renewable energy. When it comes to large scale ideas that better society as a whole there is no question that the best way of accomplishing those things is through government. When it comes to distributing products and services to lots of people then you can pick between public or private.

So she still has the ideas she acquired when she was younger (healthcare as a right, minimum wage, corruption, abortion, student debt relief, etc.), but when confronted with recent trans issues it's harder for her to adopt new ideas and changes into her political ideology. So I suspect as she gets older she will come across more ideas that she is antagonistic to as progressivism continues to "progress", especially now that she is less reliant on Cenk and other progressives for political ideology.

Their commentary is like a 1940's German news person saying "I support the Jews, but the Nazis have a point about the crime and disease in some of the Jewish neighborhoods. You would have to be an idiot not to agree since most German citizens also agree with doing something about it...." They spent YEARS complaining about Democrats using right wing framing only to end up doing the exact same thing.

Being able to make a small electric car to speed down a track is not the problem... We have electric trains literally all over the world and they are pretending that this is solving something when the biggest problem has always been the idea of maintaining a vacuum that is on the scale of the great wall of china.... Watch Thunderfoot's videos on the Hyperloop for all the immense problems that these PR stunts are not making any progress in solving.

  1129. Also, "military aid to Ukraine" is something the government has been doing for decades now. It's pretty easy to crank out another spending bill for military aid.

If you're isolated from people for a long periods of time that might be a different story. I'm wary of people constantly boosting themselves when they may not need to.

  1141. Any unexpected death is a tragedy, but... I would be far more upset if someone like Bernie Sanders died. He represents real fundamental changes which are literally life and death for thousands of people in this country and around world. I'm sick tired of the entire country going into mourning over a single person they don't know simply because they were famous and entertaining while ignoring the 30,000 who die each year because they don't have health insurance coverage. Kobe died because of a mistake meanwhile we let thousands die on purpose because of our inaction on healthcare and we're leaving possibly hundreds of millions to die because of our inaction on climate change.

  1146. First off, how do you know Nike doesn't invest in black communities? In fact they do, they invest in charities and local communities all over the country, but you wouldn't know that because all you care about are minorities making you feel uncomfortable when they stand up for injustice.... Funny how no one thought that supporting a self proclaimed BILLIONAIRE who was born wealthy and "privileged" is not a problem. Yet when it's a minority taking a stand for other minorities, a person who worked hard to become an athlete in high school while maintaining a 4.0 GPA, somehow THAT is a problem... You people are nothing but hypocrites... Stop pretending you give a shit about black communities when you don't.

You forgot about the part of the play where the centrist Democrat steps in (Such as Joe Liberman, Tulsi Gabbard, Manchin, Sinema, etc.) to say that what the Republicans are asking for isn't completely unreasonable and demands that both parties put aside their "partisan politics" and come to the table in the spirit of bi-partisanship.

  1155. Let me just point out something that people get incorrect over and over... Burisma Holdings was a holding company. It wasn't dealing with drilling oil. Hunter Biden previously built holding companies in the past. So yes he was most likely given a board position because of his name (famous people often do unfortunately), however saying that he has to know about oil and gas is like saying that an accountant or a a marketing executive has to know about drilling oil.... That's not what they are there for.

  1156. Ana you're WAY too emotional sometimes.... This was a total set up. The salon owner got this footage right after Pelosi's hair was washed. The salon owner is already on the record breaking social distancing guidelines and not wearing masks. She authorized the visit and blamed Pelosi for the city's shutdown (Even though Pelosi has nothing to do city ordinances). This was a salon owner trying to get publicity for herself. Nothing more.

  1157.  @kaderathebeekeeper22m3  Guess what? If you wear a seat belt you can still get hurt in a car accident. If you wear a helmet and protective clothing, you can also still get hurt in a motorcycle accident. Mitigating risk doesn't mean eliminating risk... Just because some people got sick while being vaccinated has absolutely nothing to do with the vaccine severely limiting deadly infections. Also there is nothing indicating that Covid in vaccinated people could lead to a super mutation. In fact the Covid variants came from countries with low vaccination rates.

  1160. ​ @bluegeorgia8922  To demand 30 years in prison and to ruin his life and her life just because of unfair sentences given to other people is nothing more than being spiteful and irrational. People need to understand "spirit of the law" vs "letter of the law". The purpose of the law isn't to throw people in jail. The purpose of the law is to protect children from not knowing they are doing. One state over and he would be perfectly legal. And if we were talking about smoking pot, many would say that people should be getting a light sentence and not 30 years in prison. I don't apply different standards to people based on who they are. If it were a 25-year-old black plumber getting into a relationship with that woman and wanting to get married I would be saying the same thing. I would not be demanding a 30-year sentence or having that person be registered as a sex offender. It's absurd.

  1165.  @BigHenFor  It's interesting how you confirm how infectious SARS COV-2 is, and how easily it transmits even if you're vaccinated, only to go on to repeat the dogma about a 85-90% vaccination rate will inevitably lead to its decline. That 70% effectiveness is against hospitalization not INFECTION which means that it is not stopping transmission, we have no idea what the long-term effectiveness will be in the real world even after a booster, let alone the fact that the vaccines are not even widely available in a large part of the world. Expecting the entire world to inject themselves every 3 months is a fairytale. Furthermore, the virus already has opportunities to replicate, not only in the human population, but also in the animal population. So how long are we going to repeat this fantasy about stopping SAS COV-2? It is inevitable that mostly everyone will be infected with Covid at some point in their life. Which means that It is also inevitable that the virus will continue to mutate. The infections will continue but will get less and less severe due to vaccinations as well as prior infections.

Someone going off on a major underwater trip solo probably doesn't have the best relationship with his step children anyway. Also, staying at home and freaking out doesn't actually change the situation one bit. People want the guy to act like they would if it were their own parents, but it's not your parent or your situation, so just get over it.

I seriously don't get how pundits don't realize that and still think that everything is Republicans and Democrats. The Republican party has also been shrinking so Trump's "base" isn't anywhere as large as he thinks it is.

The right wing CONSTANTLY manufactures culture war BS and people on the left are just defending against this bigotry that leads to SHOOTINGS LIKE THIS.

It may look like "both sides" in LA, but it is not "both sides" all across this country .

  1175. Ana turning into a total Karen. So her problem is that they "zip by" and people leave them where they're not supposed to be? Really? So if you're walking on a trail and a rock or branch is obscuring the trail do you freak out or just walk around it? Scooters annoy me sometimes but walking/riding around them is not the worst thing in the world, it really isn't. We really need to embrace PEVs if we're going to do something about climate change when it comes to transportation. Your "fuel efficient car" is nothing compared to the energy efficiency of a PEV. An electric car still has to move thousands of pounds compared to the small weight that a PEV moves.

  1176. MG is no different than any other Karen.... She can scream at other people like AOC, she can chase down a Parkland survivor kid and lie about him, but as soon as she gets challenged in anyway way she acts like the "big scary black man" is being violent or threatening when he isn't. Pretty much weaponizing her whiteness and gender to pretend like she was a defenseless victim when she wasn't. She's a disgusting person and a liar.

  1177.  @lukel4679  Based on that logic. The protesters should have just opened fired into the car because of the numerous incidence of people running over protesters. Best not to take chances right? The protesters should have just shot the driver dead as soon as he started honking. If they didn't wait then that guy would be alive.

  1178. The RNC was also rigged against Trump, It just didn't work because there were too many RNC candidates who were diluting the pool. In fact RNC leaders were planning to try and take the nomination away and started prepping Romney or Rubio to take Trump's place at the last minute. It never became a big story because that Russia hacker farm conveniently decided not to leak emails from the RNC only the DNC.
    6
  1179. Could Obama really have magically changed everything? It seems that all we do when we elect a president is figure out who is going to do the least damage with the military, immigration, and court appointments.... Even Trump hasn't been able to do much legislatively other than get tax cuts which Obama was also able to do. I think we overestimate what presidents are capable of. They are capable of great destruction, but when it comes to sweeping improvements to every day people's lives it really doesn't seem like they are that capable.

  1181. I have no idea who Ana was arguing against at the start. It's weird how they start arguing against fictional characters. However, the problem has and always will be CAPITALISM When you talk about "the system" and "corporate rule" you are referring to CAPITALISM and the profit motive. Because that's the motivation that leads to corporate rule, it ALWAYS has been. Capitalism is good in some cases, but it is far too prevalent in our society. Until we get into the mindset of reducing capitalism in places where it interferes with basic human needs (food, shelter, healthcare, free speech, education, etc.) we're always going to have these problems. The middle class was not a natural phenomenon, it was invented when progressives (Republican and Democratic progressives) and unions started fighting capitalism by breaking up corporations (trust busting), implementing social programs like social security and Medicare, and created regulations to make life better for people.

  1183.  @Marbles471  I wish I could tell you who I'm referring to because they don't name anyone specific, which is the problem.... They just randomly throw out sentences like "Some on the left think that persecuting crime is a bad thing" and you never know who they're talking about. I'm assuming they're throwing shade at people like Olayemi Olurin and the prison abolition movement. Maybe it's some Twitter fight they got into, who knows. But I commented on those videos asking who they were talking about, because they (Cenk & Ana, but especially Ana) suddenly just started ranting about crime and people on the left not caring about crime. It was strange and without any context.

  1191. Trump went golfing a dozen times while Americans were dying of coronavirus and spent $45,000 reserving golf carts for the secret service so that he could go golfing this summer after thousands had died from the coronavirus. Never mind the time he spent at Mara Largo. I never understood how Republicans can simply get away with flaunting their wealth in front of your face, yet Democrats are expected to be perfect. I don't like Pelosi, but it's not like she purposely scheduled a video about ice-cream on the same day that a report about unemployment was coming out...

  1192. Bullshit... It amazes me how people just swallow a politician's bullshit so easily. As if the fact that Australia has some private insurance, magically means that it's the same situation we have in the US. Well it's not. Any proposal that leaves a trillion dollar industry in place to buy off politicians and repeal progress is not a real proposal, sorry.

  1197. @Clem Fandango All I can say is that you're naïve. Biden was a target rich environment, especially given Tulsi's supposed anti-intervention stance and she purposely avoided attacking him. And she came to his defense a few times when there was absolutely no reason to. I can't believe that people couldn't see through something so obvious. Warren did a similar thing. I don't agree with Kamala's policies but at least she had no problems going after Biden. Although to be fair, that was all scripted and planned too.

The right has no problems lifting up any black shill they can find who repeats their message, but when they die by holding up their ideals and end up suffering alone in a hospital on a ventilator, they're like "Shhhhhhhh.....". They have no problem's ignoring the suffering of others even when it is one of their own.

  1203. So in other words... The people who sit around making shit up and believing conspiracy theories, don't believe that a guy who made shit up and believed conspiracy theories attacked Paul Pelosi. These are the same crazies who completely made up Antifa having something to do with Jan 6th because they couldn't except that people in their party attacked the capital because of their made up conspiracy theories surrounding the election results. These are children and not serious people.

  1204. Cops are basically taught to be on edge 24/7. A friend of mine barged into to my place in the middle of the night drunk while I was sleeping, because I told her some time ago that if she was ever drunk in the neighborhood that she could stay at my place rather than drive home in that state. If I had a gun and the mindset to think that everything was a threat to my life. My friend would probably be dead right now because the NRA wants you to think that everything is a threat these days and you need to spend hours every week practicing how to be "quick draw mcgraw" instead of using your brain to analyze and think about other possibilities.

  1212. sickofwashington Sigh....  I guess the analogy went over your head a bit.  Yes Rocky technically lost (Just like Bernie "technically" lost in Iowa), but since he came so close to winning people started chanting his name "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" during the match.  So despite the loss by technicality he was thought of as the real winner because everyone thought he had no chance of winning in the first place.  Creed was thought to have lost (even though he technically won) because he allowed this no-name guy that everyone thought had no chance of winning to almost beat the heavyweight champion.  Creed was thought of as a joke after that match which is why Creed had to challenge Rocky again in order to settle things once and for all.  Hence Rocky 2... New Hampshire and Nevada is Rocky 2....   Get it now?

  1214. +imPsychopathic The problem is you don't always know who is guilty even those who are convicted. If you're simply killing people to feel good about yourself then you're not really a progressive IMO. The criminal justice system should be about reducing crime not getting revenge. The death penalty has not been shown to reduce murder or crime in anyway way and it wastes a lot of money.

  1216. "BIN LADIN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE US".... That was the briefing provided BY THE CIA to George Bush (that he ignored) shortly before the trade towers were stuck. The Bush administration and specifically CHENEY proceeded to turn the CIA into a propaganda wing in which they pressured the dept and manipulated reports to get the narrative that they wanted. Cheney was also the one who pushed for torture and black sites. Many analysts who prided themselves on getting intelligence right quit the CIA during this time because they couldn't do their jobs effectively. So this idea that just because the CIA did some horrible shit under the Bush administration that nothing they say can be trusted is kind of bullshit... There are lots of people there who take their job seriously. There were reports of Russia interfering with the election LONG before Trump won. You reported this during the primary Kyle so you can stop pretending as if it was suddenly just brought up. Furthermore just because you want more transparency laws doesn't somehow make it okay that everything was leaked from one candidate and nothing was leaked from another. That doesn't make for a fair election. It's not somehow news that politicians have public and private positions. Nor is it news that they pressure the media to get the narrative that they want. Do you think Trump doesn't? Of course he does. So how is it fair to only bash Hillary and the DNC for months over something that Trump and the RNC do as well? Well that's how you manipulate an election, you make the story one-sided.

When someone like that finally gets a break they are far more likely to TAKE IT.  This has less to do with morals and more with economics... punishing people and their children isn't going to make the situation better.

  1221. It's already been established that the whole reason Hillary Clinton got a private server was so that she could keep using her Blackberry while she was secretary of state instead of having to be issued a different phone that would work with the government's IT. The whole "controversy" was because that server wasn't that secure. Even Trumps's staff and other government officials are using private email servers. It's not Occam's Razor when you have to make a logical leap that simply having a private email server alone somehow equates to doing corrupt things with your non-profit foundation. Specifically that having a private email server somehow means that you must be laundering money through that foundation somehow? I honestly hate it when people make these false equivalences under the guise of being "balanced" when they're really not. Trump asked Comey not to investigate Flynn, Trump mentioned the Russia investigation several times when talking about firing Comey, Trump had not problems with Comey before that. You really don't need to make a logical leap there when Trump has basically admitted to it. However you do have to make a logical leap by making some weird money laundering scheme because of a private email server. Now with Obama yeah it's pretty common knowledge that taking money from those industries for your campaign will indeed make you more sympathetic to their needs over the needs of the american people. Not to mention the fact that being leader of the party you feel obligated to help with your party getting donations down ballot.

Wow, I think you need to educate yourself on wahhabism and how it was spread...  Our thirst for oil and turning a blind eye to Saudi Arabia is probably one of the largest sources of Islamic extremism and terrorism.  You do realize that most of the 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia right? Just because an oppressive authoritarian regime is stable (in a large part due to our support and weapons) doesn't somehow make it a "good thing"

  1229. Sorry Kyle, but give me a fucking break... These are the same connections that WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT ALL ALONG. YES we know his campaign staff have financial ties and questionable relationships. YES we know that Trump has questionable financial ties to Russia and otherwise. What we don't know is how that lead to the Trump campaign suddenly changing the RNC platform to be more pro Russia and get rid of the Russia sanctions. Not to mention hiring Rex Tillerson who's only experience is working on a half a trillion dollar fossil fuel deal in Russia. Somehow those decisions and the money that Paul Manafort, Micheal Flynn, and Trump's businesses received from Russia doesn't warrant investigation but other financial interest do? Whatever Kyle, I'm glad you're finally jumping on the bandwagon but this investigation has NEVER been as simplistic and dumb as you make out to be. This is a case that takes months and months to investigate and put together pretending as if the only evidence is Trump Jr meeting and that's the only thing that had been driving Comey and Mueller all this time is pedantic.

  1233. LOL... It's funny how these people think that Bernie gives a shit about kissing up to anyone in order to gain power in the democratic party. This is a guy who purposely ran as an INDEPENDENT for 35 years... Longer than anyone in the history of this country precisely because he doesn't give a shit about kissing up to people in order to gain power in a political party. Bernie ain't no Chris Christie...

  1236. Gee Cenk, you like the game where you pile on top of the guy and then went on to play and love football (which leads to brain injury). Not everyone likes team sports I hated them... I grew up liking extreme and solo sports and I loved swings. Many children like to be CHALLENGED physically as well as having the thrill of overcoming their fears. You take that away and you're taking away a big part of some kid's fun and development.

Second if you did pay Federal taxes you would be paying far more to the pentagon than the tiny fraction that goes toward welfare programs. Furthermore I have no idea why you brought up your race, because most welfare recipients are actually WHITE. Next, unless you are unfortunate enough to live in a red state you qualify for healthcare subsidies and medicaid.  So don't be an idiot, look into that and get your knee checked out... Clearly I was right, you're so indoctrinated by propaganda that you have no idea what is reality anymore...   You are just part of the sad lot who is tricked into voting against your own interests by think tanks who carefully craft  talking points to manipulate people like you...   You are not voting for yourself, you are voting for the same oligarchy that is keeping you down and you don't even know it...

  1254. It's easy to say that today, but the economy was much different back then than it was now. I think letting the south succeed and letting millions of slaves suffer would have not been the best option. Slaves would have continued to try to escape to the north and eventually the tension between north and south would probably have led to war anyway. Either that or we would have had half of North America living in apartheid for generations and generations. Not a good idea.

What about the last public park you went to. Did you pay for that? What about police protection, fire fighting, side walks, etc. Did you earn that? The reason why people think that you don't know anything is because saying something so ridiculous indicates that you don't know how society works and that all societies are about pooling certain resources for the betterment of that society.

  1257. Kyle maybe YOU should focus on the story instead of constantly defending your denial of any Russia collusion. OBVIOUSLY they couldn't suddenly remove the sanctions or make the go ahead on the Exon Mobile deal while the media was hammering them on potential Russia collusion to win the election. That would be stupid, even for Trump. However we do know that removing the sanctions was suddenly added to the RNC platform AND Trump appointed Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. Do you honestly think there was no intention of lifting the sanctions and going ahead with the Exon Mobile deal?

Since when did Obama play the victim against Hillary or the republicans? He didn't because as a black man HE COULDN'T without being de-legitimized as a presidential candidate. However for some reason it's perfectly okay for Hillary to do so.

  1266. I got into an argument with a friend of mine that Trump's stance against TPP was complete bullshit and I was willing to money down that we would see something similar to TPP pass after Trump has been in office for a year or so. He never took me up on that bet, but the point is some of us were NEVER fooled by Trump's con game. My biggest problem were progressives giving Trump praise on his bullshit stance on TPP under the guise of being fair and balanced.... What has been pretty clear throughout Trump's life is that he only cares about his money and ego (and to be praised). Did you honestly think he gave a damn about TPP on principle? For shame...

  1267. Get of your pedestal already. CNN is a private company who can hire and fire anyone they want to. How is this a free speech issue? CNN hired her in the first place because they wanted some kind of celebrity to bring entertainment to their silly new years eve show. Now that her brand and reputation has diminished, why wouldn't they fire her? The 1st amendment covers the government coming after you which is why she isn't in jail. It doesn't cover people getting fired because they did something stupid in order to get attention.

  1268. basquat76 I certainly doubt Nikki Minaj or most artists set out to be "role models".  The only standards are those that you impose upon them for your own reasons.  These music artists are popular primarily because they push societal boundaries.  Which is why teenagers like them and why parents hate them.  This is an old song played over and over throughout history in every  generation.

    5
  1271. Ashdidntketchum all Yeah of course Bernie would have won. However knowing that doesn't change the outcome. Even if you took out the DNC bias it STILL wouldn't have changed anything.... Hillary was consistently way ahead in most states throughout the entire race. The only slim chance Bernie had was a contested convention and he couldn't even get there and even if he got there it was always a long shot. The biggest factor IMO were the rules in primary voting. If all the primaries were open (with independents voting) and young people were allowed to register and vote then Bernie would have had a MUCH better shot. However I don't fault Hillary for wanting to be president and doing everything she could to make that happen. I fault a system that allowed "parties" (factions) and money to control our government. I completely agree that we should talk about how Bernie is a better candidate. However what kind of message are we sending by spending the next 4 years talking about how corrupt Hillary was or might be? All that does is continue to make Hillary and corruption the face of the democratic party. Why would we do that? Instead we should be spending the next 4 years talking about Bernie, Warren, and all the new faces and more importantly the POLICIES that will make a real difference in this country. Unfortunately being a "celebrity" is always going to have an advantage in a popularity contest. The only way that I know of to get around that (somewhat) is by educating the people. But right now we have a new republican administration, congress, and potentially a judicial branch that is about to be in TOTAL POWER of this country. Bitching about Hillary isn't going to do anything to change that.
    5
  1272. Seriously Kyle? You're going to threaten them by saying "you're exploiting a loophole"? It's called a "loophole" BECAUSE IT'S LEGAL.... And please spare me with the idea that a president can somehow threaten corporations with imaginary taxes when it is congress who makes tax law. Do we need to go through how a bill becomes a law 101? I really would like to hear some good ideas on repatriation, but if all you're going to do is act like Trump and pretend how "you're going to make a deal", then you're not saying shit. As far as I'm concerned Hillary's plan is the best I've heard. Come up with a better one and I'll listen otherwise you're just blowing smoke up people'a asses.

  1277. I still don't know why we have this false equivalence that says that somehow people giving money to your charity is just as bad as directly making money from those people. Trump has always planned on making a ton of money from the presidency. How the fuck do you expect he's going to do that? By abusing his power, that's how.

  1280. ​ @richardwright4265  Yeah that was Mueller's response to that question. There were 10 instances of obstruction that was laid out in the Mueller report. As Mueller has stated dozens of times, the only reason he doesn't charge Trump is because he is president and it's DOJ policy that they cannot indict a sitting president and it's up to Congress to do impeachment hearings. However as he answered in today's hearing, once Trump leaves office there is enough evidence to indict him. Trump is a criminal who is basically above the law as President.

Secondly yes, pharmaceutical companies have planned all along is to sell billions in vaccines and boosters to 1st world countries. Lastly mew travel restrictions for a virus that is by all accounts milder than Delta and hasn't caused a single death is asinine.

I've never agreed with the idea in the black community where some people believe they should arm themselves as protection against racists. Because as demonstrated in this video, all it does is make you an even bigger target. You just give the racists the excuse they were looking for to either arrest or kill you.

  1293. It's pretty naive to think that the main reason for Russia invading Ukraine is because of NATO. Putin wants Ukraine similar to how China wants Taiwan and the US wanted Iraq.

Not having healthy "competition" is completely irrelevant to capitalism. The profit motive has ALWAYS incentivized corruption and collusion. Whether it's corporations, "robber barons", etc. big money finds ways of holding onto wealth and power. I'm sick and tired of people pretending as if capitalism by itself somehow this magically benevolent creation when it literally never has been. The only way you get any kind of fairness in markets is when the governments regulate it through laws, currencies, courts, minimum wages, etc.

There's a difference between "pissing everyone off" and being the target of news organization who specializes in doing hit jobs on politicians they don't like.

  1314. Spent like a week going back and forth with a Trump supporter. Things like "evidence" and "facts" really doesn't mean anything to them. If it feels right, it's evidence, if it doesn't it's part of a "deep state" or "fake news" conspiracy. They don't need evidence of the media lying or a deep state conspiracy, they just feel it's true so therefore that's enough.

  1315. The most disturbing one to me is still that white guy in a hotel hallway who was basically tortured at gun point before getting shot to death. This is probably second to that. However the fact that this has been happening regularly to minorities and the poor for decades is unacceptable. There are way too many people who join the police or military because they want to exert authority over others, not protect people. These are criminals with a badge and they need to be treated as such.

Covid would "magically disappear" by April. 4. Hydroxychloroquine. 5. Lied about Stormy Daniels. 6. Windmills Cause Cancer. 7. He lied about his father being born in Germany. 8. He lied about a hurricane hitting Alabama and altered an official weather map with a sharpie to make it look like he was telling the truth. 9. Lied about intervening to give Jared Kushner top secret security clearance after he was rejected. 10. Lied about the country "rounding the corner" on coronavirus in October when his own CDC knew that we would have a huge spike in cases and deaths over the winter. 11. Lied about election fraud and lied about winning in a landslide when he had zero evidence for either. The man lies more than any politician I have ever known and if you don't know that then you're gullible as hell.

I still watch Damage Report and Indisputable with Dr Richie, but I've canceled my TYT membership that I've had for many years. I've watched Cenk since 2005 so I know how different things are from just the "disagreement" he's trying to make it out to be. Professional sports are run by private organizations who set their own rules, so WHO EVEN CARES if people think that trans individuals should participate or not? Either way it's not an election issue because the government has NOTHING to do with it. However TYT is platforming it and legitimizing it as a real issue. Then using it to attack their own base with it. Which is exactly what the right wing wants. I'm amazed after 20 years Cenk can't see something so obvious. And as predicted, the Fox News website is talking about Ana's words and using it as propaganda against the left.

The latest Gallop has his approval at 41.9% however that is based on nearly week old data. The Quinnipiac poll is more recent.

  1330. The right wing has been very good at getting behind labels for their benefit "liberal", "socialism", "woke", "CRT", etc. It would have been far better for Biden to say "Fascists" instead of the "Ultra MAGA" nonsense. The word is less important than the propaganda and effort behind the word and the left has been horrible at doing this because we're more interested in a nuanced conversations than slinging labels around.

That's why he says dumb things about using this technology to give people "superintelligence" because he's hoping there are people dumb enough to keep investing in him and over estimating the worth of his companies. As if moving a curser on the screen is one step away from superintelligence 😂 Never mind the fact that moving a cursor on screen without moving your hand is something you can already do with eye tracking software and it doesn't require surgery....

  1335. Jeez Ana... AOC wasn't telling people to USE the term "Latinx". STOP reporting based on a damn headline. AOC was telling Democrats that they shouldn't be demonizing the term for politics because there ARE people who identify with the term "Latinx" just like there are a small percentage of people who identify as trans or non-binary. We don't tell people to not use the term "trans" because less than 1% of the population identify with the term. UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF THE ARGUMENT instead of pretending she was just looking for a new cool new label to use.

  1338. You don't support Ukraine getting weapons to protect its own border, yet it's okay for Russia to deploy troops in a sovereign country to support their imperialist ambitions? How does that logic work? It's not okay for anyone else except for Russa? Sure, because it's just a pure coincidence that Putin started building up troops along another country's border, just before declaring certain regions "independent". if some sovereign citizens in Texas declared themselves independent, it would be perfectly okay for another country to occupy the US and declare a part of the US as "independent". The US has done a lot of bad things around the world, but you have a serious blind spot if your constant go to is "US bad".

  1339. What if I told you.... anyone with a basic knowledge of history knows that the southern democrats and "DixieCrats" became republicans after the democratic party supported civil rights legislation and the republican party adopted the "Southern Strategy" to court the racists in the south.

I don't condone property damage or violence, but I also don't give a shit about your whining. If there are people protesting racism, fascism, and oppression of people. THEN I'M ON THEIR SIDE. I care more about people than property. And whether it's racism, fascism, Zionism, or ISIS. Whatever is out there opposing oppressive shit like that then I'M ON THEIR SIDE. I could give a shit about a few bad apples and your bad impression of Antifa because a few took shit too far. Stop getting talking points from Fox News.

  1343. 04:55 "The 2nd Amendment is about making sure the government remains accountable to the people" 05:10 "You might see an armed resistance" She is just casually suggesting shooting politicians (assassinations) and starting a civil war just so they can play with their guns. These people are freaking CRAZY.... Sorry, but the founders didn't create a 2nd Amendment so you could go around threatening to kill people you disagree with.

  1344. The Right will just find another fascist to line up behind... They did the same thing with the Bush administration. They didn't care about torture, Gitmo, Patriot Act, lies about WMD, or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed as long as they had a narrative to win elections. After Bush left office and was hated by most of the country that;s when the Right finally turned on him. Then a few years later they latched onto Trump and a brand new form of fascism targeting immigrants instead of Muslims and Trans people instead of gay people... It's the same cycle all over again based on Christian White Nationalism that started with Reagan.

  1347. Jacy Miller, Sorry, but the only double standard I see here is on Kyle's part. 1. Many foreign leaders say "I got X leader to do Y". It's called negotiation and diplomacy. Trump also said that he got North Korea to denuclearize. Which of course is not true because they haven't done squat, but at the same time if they did you wouldn't call that influence treasonous or corrupt. 2. I don't believe that Netanyahu unilaterally got Trump to exit the Iran Deal and guess what? Neither do you and neither does Kyle.... We know that neocons have been against that deal ever the Obama administration started working on it. We know that the Trump has many of these same neocons in his administration. We know that Trump even CAMPAIGNED on the idea that the Iran Deal was bad because he was against everything Obama did (because he's a fucking child). So Kyle is completely lying to himself and his audience on the idea that we should believe that Netanyahu unilaterally called up Trump one day and he changed his mind. That's not what happened. It's something that Trump was willing to do ever since he started campaigning and Kyle knows that. 3. Let's not pretend that a leader of a country trying to convince another leader to do something is the same as another country hacking into servers, infiltrating political groups, attempting to hack into voting machines, and waging a fake news propaganda and troll campaign on social media all to get the guy they've had their eye on for years. And BTW the guy is completely indebted to the Russian Oligarchs/Mob that controls the country since they bailed out his businesses. And BTW the leader of that country said on national TV that he wanted one guy to win and directed his officials to make that happen. And BTW the guy is doing everything he can to obstruct justice and shut down the investigation even going as far as saying on National TV that his own intelligence agencies are lying and that the Russian government should help them. Sorry, but I'm not having the conversation that those two things are somehow "equal" because they're not. Kyle is purposely elevating this story and ignoring ALL THE OTHERS, because he's acting like a complete hack when it comes to this topic. He's suffering from confirmation bias and If he keeps letting his ego get in the way of his objectivity then it's going to be his downfall.

  1348. It's rather arrogant to assume you know what's best for another country and the people who live there. It reminds me of someone refusing to give money to a homeless guy because you think giving them money does more harm than good.

Also not everyone has the luxury of skipping the line by simply being born. Your mistake is thinking that a line means anything when everyone in this country came from an immigrant and if you go back far enough chances are your ancestors were wither illegal or didn't have much of a barrier to get here.

Nearly all drone strikes are illegal according to our constitution.

  1352.  @bailey5836  It's funny how we like to pretend as if US generals haven't been responsible for murdering civilians. Trump literally just pardoned someone accused of war crimes so heinous that it gave the people he served with nightmares. Yet we like to sit here and pretend we're the good guys. Let's not forget that the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected leader and installed a dictator who brutalized the Iranian people for over a decade. Gee do you think Iranians might be upset over something like that? It's funny how we cherry pick our own history to pretend that we are the good guys. if Iran bombed one of our generals we would immediately call it an "act of terrorism" regardless of what that general did in a war 15 years ago.

  1359. I completely disagree Cenk... I think you're just reacting to Fox talking points and jumping the gun here. The longer we're talking about Impeachment the worse it is for Trump. As soon as the House sends the articles to the Senate, McConnell is going to try to rush it through as fast as possible so that people forget it ever happened. However by holding back Pelosi can milk this even longer, even hold additional votes, bring additional articles, allow for more witnesses, etc. As long as Pelosi holds onto the articles of impeachment she has the power to put impeachment back into the news cycle whenever she wants to. Why give that power to McConnel right now? Especially when he's not taking it seriously. Who is going to pay attention to impeachment that closely over the holidays anyway? Who thinks that there isn't going to be another Trump scandal in a couple weeks that will only strengthen the idea of impeachment? Yes there is a chance that the GOP and Fox could spin impeachment in their favor, but that's what they were going to do anyway. There are very little downsides to holding onto the articles quite honestly.

  1363. Some Republican friends of mind got vaccinated like a month ago, so I don't think it's as big of a culture war issue as they think. Also if you're vaccinated then why would you care whether others around you are vaccinated or not in a business or at an event? It seems that vaccine passports is more of a way to force more people to be vaccinated more than anything else. If everyone who wants a vaccine can get one then I would just let people do whatever they want at that point.... Honestly this sounds like a fight we don't need to have.

  1367. Regardless of the nuances of mask mandates, vaccine passports, in person learning, and other restrictions. To pretend as if Democrats and progressives haven't made pandemic restrictions a political priority over the past couple years is to be completely divorced from reality. No one cares whether a specific restriction was imposed by a specific Democratic politician, the fact is the political perception is that "the left" is in favor of those restrictions and "the right" is not. That perception translates into an overall approval rating of Biden and the Democrats in the minds of a lot of voters. So, you can sit around being smug and say: "well technically there aren't many government-imposed restrictions". However, Sam is smart enough to know the difference between politics and policy.

The skin condition that the man experienced is only with high concentrations of colloidal silver. You don't get those high concentrations with over-the-counter colloidal silver. As I recall the man was making his own colloidal silver. Colloidal silver has medical uses topically, but not necessarily internally. However too much of ANY medicine can cause people problems and possibly kill them.

You don't even know that on day one Biden rolled back the trans discrimination in the military you were JUST complaining about? How empty headed and vapid can a person be?

It's easy to sound sanctimonious about who not to side with when it's not your home on the precipice of being invaded. There is no country in this situation that are "good guys". The US wouldn't even exist today if the American revolutionaries didn't side with unsavory countries that happened to be our "enemy's enemy". YES, sometimes you have to make alliances to preserve your sovereignty. YES, people and countries work in their self-interests. It's not "psychopathic", that's called "life" and at some point, people need grow up and face tough decisions that don't always have fairy tale endings. Sanctions don't always work, but they often do. Hurting people economically is a heck of a lot better than people dying by the millions in a war later. If you don't give strong reasons for Putin to stop, then millions of people could die and millions more displaced.

  1382. Sorry Ana, but Elizabeth Warren is not a "capitalist". Unless you're making money from owning business, or buying and selling businesses you are not a "capitalist".

There are differences in how far each would go on those policies, but to describe Elizabeth Warren as a "capitalist" is just wrong, it is misinformation.

The "Cuban Missile Crises" was about actual missiles, not a stalled tepid idea of Ukraine "perhaps" joining NATO someday that has literally been going on for years. If anything, NATO was probably just an excuse by Putin and we're just falling into the narrative he created.

  1391. It's unfortunate that you're making me defend Jimmy Dore based on this clip..... You need to look at studies on transmission, not theorizing... The most recent study from the UK shows that when it comes to the Delta variant there is only a 1/3rd reduction in transmission of the virus between people who are fully vaccinated in the same household. And that difference is almost nonexistent if the people were vaccinated over 2 months ago. They found that the viral loads are nearly identical if you're vaccinated vs unvaccinated. The main difference is that you will clear that virus faster if you're vaccinated and of course you may not even experience symptoms if you're vaccinated. People seem to have forgotten "asymptomatic transmission" when it comes to Covid. It's not like that has magically gone away, it still exists. You can get Covid and pass it and not know it. You're much less likely to be hospitalized or die if you're vaccinated, however it does not protect that much from transmission. They were never designed to stop transmission. People SHOULD NOT go around the older people in their family thinking that they can't spread Covid if they are vaccinated. Especially if they were vaccinated months ago. This culture war over vaccination is really really dumb.... The right spreads misinformation and then the left gets baited into combatting that misinformation and end up also spreading misinformation.

Then why the F not? Do not bring what they did to Luke Skywalker into this... Kathleen Kennedy had ZERO vision. The Mandalorian proves that you can bring in a diverse cast, tell a good story, AND do justice for Luke Skywalker. So you can just STFU on that point. No one made "Steve Rogers" black they brought in different people to take on the mantel. The Black Panther only got ONE EFFING MOVIE. Talk to me after Black Panther has gotten anywhere close to the number of movies, TV series, and specials that Superman or Captain America has gotten. To hear you people whine after ONE EFFING MOVIE, is pathetic. Black Panther and the Wakanda's is like Thor and the Asguards. Where the Norse culture is more tied to race. Even then Thor has had THREE movies already and yet you people still cry and whine about having ONE African based movie. And personally I think Star Trek Discovery is great, especially the last two seasons. It sucks for the people who refuse to give things a chance when they see something other than white males.

However it was obvious from the beginning that there was Russian involvement in 2016 and it was in Russia's interest in having Trump be president over Hillary. Regardless of the fact that Trump is ALSO corrupt in other ways it's not a question that Russia thought Trump would be better for them and did a lot of things to make that happen.

  1401. Why are you talking about all these issues that you have no idea are even related to the person or the crime? Christ, can we just get more information about the actual story without a soap box about "some members of the left" when you won't even talk about who they are or what they said? I can't stand this constant trend of having arguments with "fictional left" and "fictional right" characters.
    5
  1402. Cenk.... A lot of issues are unpopular at first. Just like "Medicare 4 All" or Single Payer healthcare was not popular just 10 years ago. However there's a big difference between the poor messaging of "defund the police" and people thinking it means "completely eliminating policing" as well as the dozens of different interpretations on what that means when it comes to policy vs. the straight forward policy of taking away a woman's right to choose. Also if you are a "progressive" you really have a responsibility to educate people on the issues instead of just shutting down the discussion by pretending that people want to just snap their fingers and eliminate police and let dangerous murders and rapist roam free. This is very similar to a right winger acting as if the gay and trans issues are about mutilating kids and grooming. You can point out how there are problems with the messaging and policy proposals for "defund the police" and the "prison abolitionist movement", but it doesn't mean these are not incredibly important discussions to be had.

It is also a fact that they are paid by rich Republicans in order to create these stories and spread propaganda.

  1404. Who the exactly is "they" Kyle? You're starting to sound like Alex Jones... Your coverage here is incredibly simplistic. 1. EVERYONE KNOWS that the Senate removes the president from Office and that a removal is unlikely to happen in a Republican controlled senate. That was never the argument for moving forward with impeachment proceedings. Nancy Pelosi was literally talking about that over a year ago. 2. The reason why CNN says that impeachment doesn't require a crime is because it is a fact.... Why are we upset that CNN is stating constitutional facts? And no it's not "moving the goal post" when you look at the actual history of impeachment in this country. It's just stating legal facts. 3. Impeaching Trump and failing to remove him from office is not as bad as the political price Democrats would pay for doing NOTHING. Not to mention the price this country would pay for doing nothing. You're basically saying that we should be okay with presidents subverting democracy and doing every illegal trick in the book to stay in power. 4. I don't know what polls you're looking at but support for impeachment jumped 10 point. If it can jump another 10 points then Republicans lose their incentive to not impeach him, because tying themselves to Trump will cause them to lose their jobs. 5. Bill Clinton's approval rating was already high going into impeachment. It wasn't in the 40s like it is for Trump... You don't know what you're talking about here. Everyone knew that impeachment over a blow job was a joke and Bill Clinton was seen doing a decent job. The reason "you don't see it" is because your model is wrong. You're acting like Nancy Pelosi, stuck in the 90s.

  1405. Yeah and yet you blindly believe that Trump has your best interest don't you? Even though Trump is part of the .01% The difference is that Cenk's net worth is mostly tied into his company, TYT. A company that he built right here speaking out against the corruption and the establishment every day for 15 years. It didn't happen overnight and he wasn't born into wealth and privilege like Trump was. He wasn't handed millions of dollars just for being born lucky, like Trump was. He didn't' stay wealthy after bankrupting dozens of businesses because of his connections and the loopholes that his lawyers found, like Trump. Cenk had a dream and dropped a lucrative career to pursue it and after a DECADE or more of hard work it finally started to pay off. He even left a lucrative job at MSNBC and took a risk being true to what he wanted to do. He's not trying to manipulate the system to favor himself or his friends, like Trump is. He is continuing that dream of speaking the truth. He is a man that should be admired. If you cannot understand the difference, then YOU are part of the problem.

  1406. To expand on what Emma was saying on the ignorance that people have when discussing abortion issues. Every-time people discuss "late term abortion" they never discuss the reasons why someone would need a late term abortion instead people pretend as if women purposely chose to carry a child for 8 months before deciding to get an abortion. As if that is somehow a fun thing to do.

  1407. There is no such thing as "cancel culture", we just decided to start calling every effing thing "cancel culture". Do you think that no one ever got fired or not hired for something they did in their past? Or do you think that it SUDDENLY started happening in 2021? All that happened was we decided to call criticizing people, correcting people, firing people, taking people from leadership positions, and people who violate terms of service agreements online "cancel culture". If you go back 20 years it was called "political correctness" and the same butt hurt white men used that term in the exact same way. How about we agree to stop talking in buzzwords? How about we stop pretending that the latest buzzword of the week is a new phenomena?

  1408. Funny how Saagar will talk for years about "Russiagate", because media outlets implied that there could be Russian influence on the Trump, but when Fox reports false information about Biden suddenly his line is "most people know" whether to believe whether something is true or not. Interesting how that works.

  1409. For any other CEO of a company the answer is: "I'll do whatever I have to for the success of Twitter". For a billionaire who can still afford to lose billions the answer is "I don't wanna! I'll do what I want! Cause I'm special! 😭"

  1411. At what point did Kim "defend white nationalists" Ana?... You can't complain about "smears" while smearing people yourself. At least Cenk is making a thoughtful response while Ana takes things way too personally, calling people dumb over and over is something that Jimmy Dore does. It's uncalled for and childlike. Kim was wrong and it was a bad take that made NO SENSE. You can say that without taking it personally because you don't like something she said about you once. Stop with the "clap backs" already.

  1416. I like what Tulsi says, but I don't trust her one bit. Just ask yourself.... Who is out on the front lines fighting for specific legislation and specific causes? Who calls out specific individuals and their bad policies every day? I see this from Sanders, Warren, AOC, hell even Kamala, but from Tulsi it's mostly about her running for president and a list of bullet points for why you should vote for her (spoilers, she's a veteran). However she's not putting her neck out on anything folks. Don't fall for a pretty face telling you want you want to hear. Don't be shocked when people like that pivot once they get into office. Otherwise you're just going to get Obama'ed all over again....

  1418. The Civil Rights movement and Evangelicals completely shifted the Republican Party in a short amount of time. We can easily do that in the Democratic Party if you keep you eye on the prize. Work within power to change power. Work outside of power and you have no leverage to change anything.

  1419. 1. The vaccines were properly tested and real world use has validated the results of those tests. 2. Christ man, you're still repeating this dumb 98% survival rate talking point? Really? Do you not realize using basic math that a 98% survival rate in a population of 330 million people means that over 6 million people would be dead? Furthermore "surviving" doesn't mean you're perfectly fine. A large percentage of people will have heart damage and other issues despite "surviving" Covid. 3. You're lucking to live in a country with access to vaccines. Look at what's going on in India and Latin America right now and their mass crematoriums that are running 24 hours a day. This has nothing to do with "trusting government". It has to do with trusting basic science and not being an idiot.

  1420. Ana gets way too emotional over certain issues. Jon is 100% right... The internet and any public space is for free speech, book publishing companies are not. They ALWAYS decide who and what they publish. Someone decided to publish his bullshit because it made them money and he also made LOTS of money from it. If they decide not to publish his next book he can cry me a river. He can join the millions of people on the internet who also aren't lucky enough to get their crap published. Ana is trying to make this into a free speech issue and she's completely conflating topics.... TYT is a private company who can decide which guests they have on for a variety of reasons. If they decide not to have a guest on, or change their mind on a guest they had booked (which I'm sure has happened before), then they are entirely in their right to do so. If I wanted to be a guest on TYT and they didn't book me, it's not a "free speech issue". If Peterson didn't get his book published then he goes somewhere else until his book is published or he drinks a tall glass of "sad day for you".

  1424. Geez Ana let's get the terminology right... Burisma hiring Biden's son wasn't "abuse of power" it was nepotism and possibly an attempt at buying influence. It's not like an elected official (Biden or otherwise) demanded or suggested that his son be hired. It was someone trying to make money off Biden's name.

  1425. You don't get it do you? An ideology based on propaganda and lies radicalizes people just the same. Whether it's extreme Islamic fundamentalism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia, or mass voter fraud and q-anon bs. Trump's lies and the nonsense spread by Fox, OAN, Newsmax etc. is RADICALIZING people and creating terrorists.

  1426. I really don't get how people feel the need to make themselves feel superior using insults... It's silly/childish. That said, first off I've known lots of martial artists who have stretched themselves with lots of pain in order to achieve a lot of flexibility with no consequences. It's something that has literally been done for centuries. Secondly if you know anything about anatomy then you should know that muscle fibers tearing and rebuilding themselves is EXACTLY THE WAY THAT YOU GAIN MUSCLE TISSUE. Third the body is "in stress" anytime you exercise.... Which is why it releases endorphins. Fourth as someone who is currently recovering from a broken wrist I can tell you that it's a fact that bending my wrist until it's in pain is the only way that I will be able to recover full strength and movement again. The phrase "no pain no gain" isn't just a fiction. Can you overdo it and injure yourself? Sure, but this idea that you can just relax your way to a more athletic progress is pretty nonsensical. People don't wince and groan when they exercise because it's comfortable and painless.
    5
  1427. As someone who could easily fit into this category. I find this conversation utterly absurd... There is no conversation on "the left" about male insecurity and loneliness, because it has nothing to do with politics. The reason why people who grift on this topic lean right wing, is because right wing ideology provides targets for people to direct their anger and insecurities towards (feminism, wokeness, immigrants, etc.) and it tells people what they want to hear in order to feel good about themselves at the expense of others. That has nothing to do with a "policy" discussion that "the left" involves itself in. The closest thing you have to that are people like Cenk or Hasan who might bring in their male ego as a way of bringing levity to the conversation, but it's not like they are going to say something like "rich capitalists white men are the reason you're inadequate as a man" because it would be a false and ridiculous thing to say. However people who lean right have absolutely no problems making up culture war topics or saying ridiculous things in order to stoke the egos of their male audience. At best the only thing you can do is call out the all the lies coming from people like Jordan Petersen, etc., but you can never be a true alternative to what they do.

Sitting on your ass and throwing away your vote doesn't actually change anything Genius.

  1431. A lot of people on the left want to point fingers at specific people, specific strategies, and specific policies, when the reality is Trump had celebrity, name recognition, and was able to and was able to turn out more racists and misogynists than we were able to rally against that. The sad part is that going forward maybe we need comedians and celebrities to run for office, expertise and coherent policies don't seem to matter as much.

  1433. You are seriously not going to get anywhere with terrorism by attacking people's religion. No one said Muslims were victims, no one said to "coddle them". However we have to be clear that a Muslim grandma in Cincinnati, or Jakarta, or Kenya, has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Saudi Arabian regime or ISIS. Bjorn's point in the beginning was GENIUS.... We need to attack the idea of diversity and inclusion NOT their religion. Christians in western democracies around the world have accepted diversity in their countries. Many Islamic states were inclusive in the past and many are inclusive today. It is a far better narrative than pretending that by trolling their religion everyone is going to magically behave. The problem with Jasser is that he pretends that somehow the US media wagging their finger at fundamentalists is somehow going to depower them rather than empower them. We DID destabilize Muslims in Iraq and that gave us ISIS. They didn't become more inclusive they became LESS inclusive because we destabilized the area for a decade and gave them an enemy to fight (the US and Europe). We would have much better luck reforming those countries by leading with McDonalds, Facebook, KFC, and crappy Hollywood movies rather than drone strikes and threatening to constantly change them by force.

  1436. In other words: "Owning the libs" by worshiping a sadistic and genocidal god. If you want lots of people to die for the sake of your own self-righteousness. You just might be a terrorist... Also, I'm pretty sure most people would find catching their parents having sex to be pretty gross and disgusting too, doesn't exactly make it wrong.
    5
  1437. It's hard to say how much was coercion or not. This was a 21 year old who looked up to Jordan and his friends as mentors. There was a power imbalance. Furthermore as Cenk said, they didn't fire him for sex it was because he misused TYT funds and their resources to get drunk, throw parties with his friends, and help his side business. There is plenty enough there to show that Jordan had horrible judgement and made bad management choices.

  1444. It would be nice if we replaced our "criminal justice system" with a "crime reduction system". It's pretty dumb that we have a system that only responds to people doing bad things as opposed to making it less likely for people to do those bad things to begin with. It is far cheaper to prevent fires to begin with than just hiring more people show up when something starts burning, but that's basically the attitude we have with crime.

  1448. The only criticism is that there has never been any "forensic evidence" of any rapes and many of the victim family members and kibbutz leaders have denied it.
    5
  1449.  @Swixeditz  Several reports and the recent UN investigation says otherwise. Israel could not provide any forensic evidence for the claims of mass rapes. All they've ever had are people who guessed that rapes happened without any actual forensic investigation.

  1450. So... How would "arresting someone" in the middle of Taliban controlled Afghanistan work exactly? Luv ya Francesca, but that commentary was pretty bad. I'm pretty sure starting a ground war to "maybe" capture one guy alive is probably the worst option.

  1451.  @Chualland  No he didn't. It was official US policy (along with the EU, World Bank, and IMF) to get rid of that corrupt prosecutor. There were literally protesters outside parliament trying to get Shokin out of office because it was well known that he was corrupt and not investigating Bursima and other companies for corruption. His own deputy prosecutor was complaining that Shokin was stonewalling corruption investigations. Effing educate yourselves already. You can find all of these stories in 2016.

  1453. Feminism has been a political movement for decades. Whereas "masculinity" is not. No one has spent decades fighting for male equality. So it's not surprising that a discussion on feminism would turn into a heated political debate based on everyone's prenotions of what they are fighting against, whereas a discussion on masculinity can just be on the topic itself.

I can guarantee you've mentioned "Hillary Clinton" on your program far more times than you've mentioned "Bernie Sanders". Seems like you enjoy bitching about Hillary, the Democratic Party, and the media more than you do actually promoting the policies and politicians you agree with. You're on the "Everyone Sucks" ticket for 2020. Which is a winning strategy, believe me.

  1459. It doesn't matter if you're learning from a shaman, blacksmith, or an astrophysicist. When you're an apprentice you respect the teacher and the confines of the environment you're learning in.

    5
  1460. You do realize that 19% and 29% isn't a majority of those groups right? Yet you're talking as if it somehow is.... This likely has more to do with people impacted by domestic violence than anything else.... People who are more impacted by domestic violence are going to be more motivated to "do something" about it. The small percentages who agree with it, are probably not thinking critically of the solution proposed only solving a problem. Just like you're not thinking critically of these statistics...

  1461.  @nathanh6439  I told her that and asked her to explain the verses where it says to give women a poison to drink to abort their child if they committed adultery. Her reasoning was that in those cases it is God deciding to kill the pregnancy. 🙄 Somehow God deciding to murder children made sense to her. 🙄
    5
  1462.  @howardgriego2272  I agree that no one has been more consistent on policy than Bernie which is why I've supported him for years. However you do realize that the only reason why Bernie ran in 2016 is because he couldn't get Warren to run right? Warren in my mind has more than earned her chops over the past 10 years or more... She's fought Wall St and her own party on several issues. By establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau she is literally responsible for returning over 12 billion dollars to 30 million Americans. She has been on the front lines of these issues every step of the way for many years. So I have no problems with her being president and Bernie who knows her on a personal level also has no problems with her being president and I've learned to respect the man's judgement, because even while running for president she is fighting for these issues instead of making it all about "her".

  1463. Ana... You do realize we have to replace the fossil fuel industry WITH something right?... Not saying it has to be poop, but we need to explore all possibilities. We can't just go after fossil fuel companies and pretend that nothing else in life is going to change...
    5
  1464. ​ @erikjohnson9075  None of the alternatives that are "ready to go" are anywhere close to being perfect. In fact many are downright unsustainable and also horrible for the planet. So we need to continue to research and we're not going to get out of this by not altering our behavior as well. Also note that I didn't say "don't go after fossil fuel companies" and their lobby, so please get your head out from your behind.

Yeah it's a grand conspiracy for Elon to show the entire world he's an idiot who can't run a business and lose the most billions in the shortest amount of time and to do it in the most public way possible in the entire history of human existence. That would be REAL smart for Elon Musk's bottom line. It's sad when the Left starts adopting the nonsense magical thinking of the Right. Did Rick say Twitter has been "decades in the making"? LOL, Twitter has only been around for 15 years and only became mainstream like a decade ago.
    5
  1472. Let me sum up your position David.... "Fear & Weakness". You're not going to win an argument by knowing what the right policy is and then suggesting "Let's only do 10% of the right answer". By doing that you're basically saying that you either don't have an answer or you don't feel strongly about the answer you have. Not only is it a horrible negotiating tactic but you lose the moral and intellectual authority when making your case to the american people... You need to ALWAYS fight for the right position, because if you have the facts on your side you can ALWAYS MAKE YOUR CASE. You can compromise with the GOP, but then you're letting everyone know that you compromised because the GOP made you compromise, NOT because you don't believe in the right policy. Then during the next election you can run against those compromises. Again as long as the facts support your position you can win on the politics, however if you're starting from a weak "half measure" position it's much harder to do that. The fact that we have facebook, twitter, etc. is even MORE REASON to start with the correct position because people can call you out on your bullshit. The reason why the GOP is still able to run against Obamacare is because it was a half measure. The left didn't think Obamacare went far enough the right thinks it's all "socialism". The end result is that you muddy the water enough to give the GOP the ability to run against Obamacare. That's what centrism gets you today.
    5
  1473. I can't wait for the 2020 debates.... As soon as Trump goes on about how the US sucks and has let China, etc. walk all over us. I want Bernie or Elizabeth Warren to say "You've been in office for 4 years, what exactly have you fixed?". It's kind of hard to run on "I'm the only one who can save you" when you're no longer the outsider and you literally haven't done anything since being elected other than destroy the economy.
    5
  1474. Does Trump somehow think cutting aid is going to make the situation in those countries better?.... No, he's just slandering them so he can squeeze every dime from people in desperate situations to try and pay for his damn tax cuts that benefit him and his rich friends.

A study where they used name matching logic and didn't even provide details on how sick people got.

  1481. As if Russia wouldn't scratch their heads wondering why China would suddenly attack them for no reason. Clearly Trump thinks that leaders of other countries are as dumb as he is. It's also funny how Trump talked about his "secret" strategy to defeat ISIS and it would be dumb to tell anyone about it, yet openly talking about a potential false flag operation, that would be heard by both Russia and China, is somehow genius..

Imagine not wanting to teach about discrimination because you take it personally that it is something that is seen as negative. Imagine thinking that "not feeling bad" is more important than poverty or literacy for kids.
    5
  1485. Race is entirely made up to begin with. Anyone could classify any ethnic/genetic difference as a "race" if they wanted to. There is absolutely no mistaking the fact that the Nazis saw jews as a separate race and being of Jewish decent made you "the other" regardless of what religion you practiced. The term "Aryan Race" did not include Jewish people. Which is why people like Einstein and many others got the heck out of there. Every single one of Whoopi's points about "humans being mean to each other" could be said about black people, slavery, and Jim Crow. The fact that both of you don't understand that is pretty astounding.

  1486. The irony of Kathleen Kennedy telling someone else that using Luke Skywalker could ruin a franchise... She wouldn't have "ruined a franchise" if she didn't use Luke, Han, Leah, Yoda, & Palpatine to begin with. Using Luke for "shock value"? Oh, you mean like having Luke Skywalker throw away his iconic light saber, crap on the Jedi, and turn him from being one of the most hopeful characters into the typical trope of "bitter old man" in order to "subvert expectations" for a single gd *movie*? She can STFU...

  1487. That's because you're the hack who can't take the truth.... It's time to put aside your childishness already. Comey, Meuller, Napalitano, etc. are all REPUBLICANS.

People like you who make up nonsense because they're not mature enough to handle it are just weak minded.

  1490. What's the part of the "matrix" that has you more concerned over larger mammals and have zero concern over insects, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, that are killed by the trillions through pesticides? How about your concern over other predators maiming and eating another animal while it's still alive? I'm sure in your mind it's "they're dumb animals that don't know any better, but we are enlightened humans". It's all just arrogance. The reality is life goes hand and hand with death. Yes we can choose what animals we consume, just like all predators do, but we should respect all life the best we can and stop treating animals like machines. I would also argue that we shouldn't treat plants like machines either. We should be managing ecosystems, not factories.

  1491. I looked into Bitcoin a couple years ago and I was amazed at the sheer amount of energy wasted, just literally thrown away, just to record a simple transaction. Mining Bitcoin alone uses more energy than entire countries... As of today cryptocurrencies are just a waste of resources to allow people to gamble and exchange monopoly money for real government backed currency. It's no different than any other casino. We should be using technology to SAVE energy, not waste it, and improve lives not find a new "hustle"... As far as I'm concerned it's worse than the stock market. At least the stock market has some value in getting companies started even if the vast majority of it is trash.

  1495. Tulsi wants to "not do war" while at the same time not calling for de-funding our military budget and ignoring (and in some ways supporting) when our allies suppress Palestinians or Kashmir. Never mind the fact that she criticized Obama in 2015 for NOT bombing Syria, so who really knows what her moral compass is.

  1497. When it came to Trump's own charity it was a complete scam that only served himself.... So it's really no surprise that Trump would use our money (the treasury) to promote himself while people suffer. Trump doesn't understand the meaning of "helping others" or "charity". Everything he does is self serving because he's a psychopath who doesn't understand empathy or altruism.

  1498.  @bobbertmcjohnson  Yes because Zionism spread racism and division throughout the region. Before Zionism there were "Arab Jews" they even called themselves Palestinian Jews. Just like there are many Palestinian Christians today. Then Zionist decided to separate "Jews" from "Arabs" and take land and push people out at gunpoint while massacring a few Palestinian villages along the way to show others that they were serious. So of course when you declare yourself a racist country for one particular ethnic group that you just defined you're going to create animosity in the surrounding countries.

  1501. Complaining about bad CG doesn't mean you don't want Disney to treat their employees or contractors well. Just like complaining about bad writing doesn't mean you don't want writers to be paid well. It means the opposite.... If Disney wanted to do a CG heavy show where the main character is a CG character then they should have been prepared. It's not the the fans fault that the end product doesn't look good. No one complains about bad CG in the Mandalorian. Peacemaker on HBO had a completely CG eagle and people thought it was a real eagle. And pretending that the same fans complaining about writing problems or CG problems are the same fans that are against minorities or women in movies is obnoxious and dumb. Fans are not a monolith.

  1503. Was talking to someone on YT the other day who literally thought that BLM wanted to kill everyone.... These people are effing nuts and stockpiling guns because of their imaginary fears.

  1509. It sounds like you guys are on pandemic culture war autopilot.... The vaccines have been available for a year now and it's fairly obvious that every single person in the country will be exposed to SARS Cov-2 at some point. Whether it is next week or next year. You really have to ask yourself who exactly are you protecting from a virus that is pretty much endemic? If you're vaccinated, it's actually better to be exposed sooner rather than later when protection is diminished. For kids, their risk has always been the same risk as the annual flu, other countries didn't even have mask mandates in schools, that's more uniquely American. The lockdowns are for mitigating the spread until the vaccines were available. They have been available to anyone who wants one. So what exactly is your plan? Have people wear masks forever and slowly get exposed to the virus?

  1511. Obviously Suleimani was working with Al Qaeda so they could decipher the secret dagger that Saddam left behind which shows the location of a secret room on a sunken naval ship that holds the amulet that when deciphered will show them the secret location where Bin Laden hid a sunken stash of WMD that he had been stockpiling in secret for 20 years. Trump stopped them just in time, because the entire planet would have literally been destroyed. Plot twist.... Bin Laden is still alive somehow and has been orchestrating this whole thing.

  1512.  HIGH ENERGY  Umm... we won quite handily last year.... 😂 Which is why there is an impeachment process right now because of the majority in the House. The Right often uses well paid think tanks to create a simplistic narrative that their gullible followers just fall right into. This sort of propaganda is repeated over and over in order to distract people from substantive arguments.

  1513. I wouldn't want to do this in real life.... but all the cops involved in this case should be forced to watch as someone puts a knee on the neck of their wife, loved one, or child for 10 minutes while they scream over and over "I can't breath" before going silent and limp.... just so these cops can experience the terror of what that feeling is like when it involves someone they actually care about.

  1514. I remember how you pretended that every protest was a riot, violent, and required jack booted thugs to stamp down. Now when you Maga heads start threatening people and banging on windows of government offices, suddenly it's "first amendment in action"... Weird how that happens. No one is saying that people can't protest, we're just amazed at how irrational those protests are.

  1515. Literally EVERYONE has the ability to petition a social media company to remove something that violates their terms of service. Which is why even this comment has a "report" button.

  1516. I don't get what's so hard to understand... McConnell has NEVER liked Trump and thinks having him as the leader of the republican party is bad for the GOP. "Corporate America" has also never liked Trump except for his tax cuts and his ratings. However, McConnell is also not going to openly go directly against Trump because it's bad politically. McConnel would love for Trump to be taken down as a result of the Jan 6th, however if Trump isn't taken down, he needs a way out.
    5
  1517. Race is a made-up concept to being with and there is no mistaking the fact that when the Nazi's said "Aryan Race" they did not include Jewish people. It's amazing that Whoopi doesn't understand that. When you classify and persecute people based on genetic traits that cannot be changed then you're persecuting people based on racism. The reason why people like Einstein got the heck out of there, even though he was agnostic, was because the Nazis were persecuting people based on their genetic and ethnic backgrounds regardless of their religious practices. Just because their skin tone made it less obvious doesn't make it any different. Slavery and Jim Crow could also be summarized as "humans being mean to each other" because we're all humans.... duh...

  1521.  @Judhes  I'm sure you're right about the power dynamic. Back in the day it seemed like Ana was more playful in their disagreements, but now it seems to be more personal and comes across as unprofessional at times. I don't know of any other political show where one host is constantly sighing under their breath, interrupting, and screaming at the other host. Even on shows where two hosts have different political views they are far more professional. Here they agree on 99.5% of issues and somehow a disagreement on minor tactics turns into this? Maybe she should just pretend Cenk is Ben Shapiro because she was far more cordial in that debate.

  1524. I agree with Ben. This is all Trump's fault. Statements from the Whitehouse should be tightly controlled, but Trump is going out his way to purposely use an unsecure channel, because he feels like it. Twitter is a private company, it isn't their responsibility to spend their money in order to have the same security protocols as the pentagon just because the POTUS decides to ignore protocol.

  1526. I agree that it wasn't rape on the behalf of Jordan. However I would argue that it WAS rape on the behalf of his friend Chelsea. She basically raped the woman in question and tried invite others to join in. She imposed her sexual liberties on other people and she did so as a predator. However Chelsea gets a pass because she's a woman. With Jordan there was a clear unbalance of power that he took advantage of. You don't put a married 21 year old, who looks up to you and works for you, in that situation or the situations before and afterwards. Jordan did good work at one point, but he let his ego get the best of him.

  1528. I think maybe fat jokes will work for the too far gone diehard Trump supporters, but I imagine a good 30% or more will agree that it is childish, dumb, and beneath a president. Chris Christie is going to slowly chip away at the more reasonable ones until the unreasonable ones will start to wonder WTF they are doing.... All you need is someone with enough balls to keep aggressively going after trump while he's being hit with indictments and he's going to crumble.

  1529. You talk as if Obama is this black liberation activist who is there to inform people on issues in the black community. He's not, he never has been. He also basically made the same argument that Cenk made that "defund the police" may not be the best slogan to have. 4 years after leaving office people still somehow think Obama is their savior....

  1530. Creating walls between people living next to each other has always worked extremely well. The German people just loved the Berlin wall, and it worked out so well for Russia.

  1531. 02:57 Cenk, the vaccine DOES NOT prevent spreading the virus. We've known this for a long time. I wish people would stop saying that. It would be great if this pill actually works, because this vaccine culture war has gotten out of hand. I also don't want to see more people getting fired, etc. because of vaccine hesitancy.

  1532. We also exploit upon our own instincts for profit when it comes to heavyweight boxing... Put two guys/gals in a ring who beat each other and more often than not leads to health issues, CTE, and even death. From the outside it would look really barbaric and ugly. I also don't doubt that a factory farmed chicken has a worse life than these cockfighting roosters despite their violent ends. So although I wouldn't personally be involved with it. I find it really hard to call them "evil" when factory farming is a norm.

  1536. Getting vaccinated is what protects you from getting Covid... So this isn't a safety issue, this is something to just force more people to get vaccinated. They need to be honest about what the policy actually is instead of pretending that it's about safety. It would be better to just promote a policy that simply says "when x number of people have been vaccinated we will reopen businesses" and lift restrictions. Promoting some kind of "passport" is a really dumb idea that will only lead to backlash.

  1537. Alex always has to pretend he's the one with the "secret knowledge" in order to make himself feel important. Q-anon is his direct competitor.

The left media has really strange priorities sometimes.

  1542. First off the Dossier has never been proven to be false and parts of it have in fact been corroborated. Secondly I can give you thousands of lies by Trump that were never corrected. On the wall alone he's stated HUNDREDS of times that much of it has been built when that is not true at all. There's also "Windmills causing cancer". "My father was born in Germany", a hurricane hitting Alabama. The difference is that the press tries to be accurate. Trump lies to your face for his own benefit.

  1543. It'a about time we call out Fox News and Trump supporters for being the true TRAITORS that they are. People who defend a party and a president over their country are nothing more than pieces of 💩 and the worse form of scum.

  1552. The fewer minorities you have in authority the less likely the company is to promote minorities to management positions. I've seen it over and over.. People hired on the same day and the less competent white person gets promoted mainly because the people in authority can identify with other white people more. They don't do it on purpose or consciously. It's just human nature. Meanwhile I'm currently reporting under a management structure with less experience and knowledge than me and it's greatly effecting the work we're producing... Strangely enough everyone reporting under this management structure is black and everyone in management is white... I'm trying my best to inform the powers at be so we can deliver better solutions to our clients, but it's getting to a point where the only option is to quit. ;Although unfortunately not everyone has that option.

  1553. No, Cenk has it exactly right. When money is applied to politics and governing it leads to corruption, period. If you don't understand that, you're completely naive. You're more than welcome to use your money for a cause, just not to influence our government. You also have a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on here. Democracy means that I can choose leaders that disagree with your position. That happens in ANY democracy. When you have more people that agree a leader that you disagree with then it's tough luck for you. No different than when it comes to funding campaigns. If more people agree with a certain politician then in this system that person gets more funds. It is bringing democracy to campaign financing. However we live in a society now where it only takes a few wealthy people to agree with a politician and that person suddenly becomes a candidate with the means to influence the entire course of an election.

As humans we tend to make these associations in our mind to help us learn, but when we start over generalizing we become stupid.

  1562. ***** 1. They don't need to declare a crime if what they are doing is issuing a punishment.  It would be know different if the state decided to pass a law cutting off your power. Using the legislative process to punish a specific organization is unconstitutional.  Which is ironic given the accusation that the NSA is violating the 4th amendment... 2.  Proven by what or whom?  If you're basing this on little more than what's been in the news lately then that is rather silly.  The NSA has been around for 60 years and has many different departments and has done a lot in standards for cryptography and cybersecurity which we all use every day.   I'm sure there are a lot of things the NSA does that aren't useful, but to make a blanket statement that they are "not helping in anyway" is ridiculous.

  1576. Anna Bella Because people and businesses also benefit from the free exchange of labor across borders. And no one is saying that immigration will even change with the UK out of the EU. Not saying that there weren't problems with the EU, but cutting off your nose of to spite your face isn't the best solution. It seems like most people are simply voting against the "idea of something" instead of doing any kind of real cost/benefit analysis. The EU was solving a problem that stems back to WW2, by making an emotional knee jerk reaction to economic inequality and xenophobia they've already given more reason for Scotland to exit the UK and given much more power to Germany. They have not only sewn the seeds of their own economic downturn but also leading the way for a fractured Europe which very well may lead to serious conflict in the future. If all the states in the US were individual countries with their own currencies, military, commerce laws, immigration, etc. then we would be in a hot mess as well. There is nothing indicating that this is a good thing other than making people feel "warm and fuzzy" over an ideological and fantasized sense of control.

Of course there are a certain percentage of people that take advantage of a system, just like there are always a few bad apples in a school.  However that percentage is small compared to the whole and to automatically think that all poor and disadvantaged should "die" because they happen to be poor and disadvantaged (and therefore "trash") is sick....  People who have been poisoned by such propaganda are the true garbage in our society.

  1589. 03:07 Hold on there Jordan. You won't find a bigger Bernie supporter than me, but lets be factual here.... Sure in the presidential election money doesn't matter as much because each candidate gets millions in free coverage from the press, debates, etc. which are covered by EVERYONE in the world. Trump got more coverage than anyone in the race. However that's not true for down ballet elections. For anyone else (Senators, representatives, state & local governments, etc.) the person with the most money wins 90%-95% of the time. I don't like it, but that's the reality in our system of government today. You would have to have serious blinders on to pretend that every election is like the 2016 presidential election when it isn't.

  1590. I've been to Singapore. Really nice place, good food, but everyone is SUPER uptight. I was detained coming into the country (missed my bus, etc.) as well as going out of the country simply for being black (The asian american friend I was with had no issues). Talked to a couple locals and the common story is that everyone works super hard and barely get's by.

  1593. Actually from the video I can't tell if the dog was attacking or playing... It looked like the dog was just pulling on the kid's shorts as opposed to going for any flesh. The kid got up and walked away, he didn't appear injured except for minor scrapes. I also doubt that a truly aggressive dog would run away from a cat. Pit bulls have a singular focus when attacking. People lose their senses when it comes to kids. They may be killing a dog over a simple misunderstanding...

  1594. The problem is that you're both right and if you can't see that then we're going to lose the next election and many elections to come.... YES the DNC was biased, but guess what? The RNC was ALSO BIASED. They tried everything they could to get rid of Trump, they even tried to change the rules to pick another nominee. Did you somehow forget that? Why hacked emails somehow makes all the difference is beyond me. And YES someone hacked the DNC/Clinton to manipulate the election and YES most indications that Russia was involved. YES Clinton was much better than Trump. We wouldn't be talking about poor people DYING because they're about to lose their healthcare coverage and subsidies under Clinton. We wouldn't be talking about a spike in racism and beatings of minorities and gays across the nation, building a wall, a travel ban, and a huge tax break to the rich at the expense of the poor. AT THE SAME TIME. Clinton was a bad candidate for this time, too corporate and too fake. She wasn't the change candidate that we needed. If the DNC doesn't realize that they need to change and then they are going to lose again. The main reason why Trump made it and Bernie didn't is because the GOP had more establishment candidates splitting the establishment vote whereas Trump could galvanize around populism and racism.

And tell me how a corespondent passing questions is ANYWHERE NEAR the level of making a deal with a foreign government to enrich your businesses in return for favors as president? Like I said, people are so deranged with their Hillary Hate that they can't even fucking see straight. TENS OF THOUSANDS of people are going to die when they lose their coverage over the next few years, the EPA has been ordered to ignore climate change (the biggest threat to human existence) and completely serves the corporations, we're going backwards on clean energy, education is in the hands of a creationist, but OH NO! Someone on the Clinton campaign got passed some questions once and her email server was less than secure.

  1598. Why would Hillary be forced to change anything if she were president? If she wins what incentive does she have to change the system that got her elected? If it takes a huge economic crash to change our policies the those policies are going to be paid for by the suffering of millions. That's like saying "George Bush doesn't care about terrorism but when he's elected I'm sure thousands will die in the largest attack we've seen since pearl harbor and it will get him to do something" and we all know how well that turned out...

Carrier can change their mind next year meanwhile the tax payers will have to pay for their tax breaks. The thing you people don't understand is that when you give tax breaks to corporations and the rich, it ultimately comes out of your pocket and or your livelihood.

  1607. gula321 No they weren't... If you watched Discovery, History Channel, & The Learning Channel when they first began you would know that they had completely different programming and actually made huge efforts to present facts and real science.  It is well documented that they purposely changed the programming for the American audience several years ago in order to boost ratings. Which is when we started getting a crapfest of reality TV etc.   The fact is if you look at the BBC compared to the crap we get here the difference is night and day.... The only reason we don't have quality programming is because we as a society don't demand it and we let profit dictate information.  This problem effects even our "news" where most Americans are completely ignorant to what's happening here and around the world.   All television has been on a slow decline since the 70s.  The movie "The Network" beautifully illustrates this phenomenon.

  1608. Kasch You clearly care less about reality and more about your beliefs, labels, and name calling. Until you start posting references and backing up your nonsense with evidence. I'm not going to take you seriously. The Clinton Foundation has an A rating from two different charity monitoring organizations (Charity Navigator & Charity Watch) where it is documented that close to 90% of their donations go to causes. Whereas the Trump Foundation (which has admitted to "self dealing") has been fined multiple times for using the money inappropriately doesn't even meet the minimum requirements to be rated. So you can keep believing whatever nonsense that you want, but I suggest that you stop going through life being ignorant and manipulated. I'm guessing you're nothing more than a kid. So this is a waste of my time.

  1609. Both views are correct....  Yes black people will survive with Santa depicted as white.  However you cannot deny or ignore the obvious racial bias that exists in our society and to say definitively that "Santa is white" when he is a fictional character that has been depicted black, Asian, etc. is absurd.   SANTA IS WHOEVER DECIDES TO PUT ON THE DAMN COSTUME and Megyn Kelly is being completely insensitive to that fact. Kevin, this isn't "forcing" you to accept Santa as black, it is giving people the choice and opportunity for Santa to be whatever they want it to be.  As a conservative this is something you should be in favor of.

  1610. ***** Again, you're either lying or you're choosing to be ignorant to what occurred. In the video the cop said he told him not the move, the woman says that he told him to get his license and registration and that is what he was doing. The cop never corrected her on this point. She again repeated it, over and over. The cop again never corrected her on this point. In other words there is no doubt that he was told to get his license and registration. Furthermore the cop never saw a gun. The only reason why he knew about a gun is because the guy told the cop he had a CCP and a gun. Again you are either lying or being purposely ignorant to facts. Justifying an innocent guy getting killed means that you're either racist or you blindly except authoritarian rule. There are lots of countries where cops can kill anyone they want. Perhaps that's the kind of country that you prefer, but this isn't one of those countries. Of course you don't fear cops or feel the need to record your interactions. That's my point. You somehow think that your experience is the same as all minority groups in this country. That is what white privilege is. Fuck off about talking about other black guys who were killed, because you somehow think they are all the same and they are all criminal. You make me sick. I get it, you don't like black people and you think that they are all guilty in every situation. It is a really ignorant mindset that I really don't get.

  1611. No matter how you look at it, one person is not worth a 100 times more than another person, let alone a thousand times or a MILLION times. However this is the system that we have. People have been raised to be indoctrinated into an elaborate game of monopoly that we created. They think that this game is how to the world should work because they don't know anything else. Thomas Jefferson once spoke about the "natural aristocracy" where the talents of a person can cause that person to be recognized and rewarded, but he warned against the "artificial aristocracy" where people who are simply born to a good situation (Trump, Paris Hilton, etc.) are rewarded and placed above others. Money & Profit has completely warped our morality and since of justice. Instead of behaving like a village which takes care of it's environment and people. We behave more like criminals and thieves looking to out maneuver each other while we fight over scraps while worshiping the few able to play the game better than others. -TZM

  1615. Ashdidntketchum all No, people were aware of her flaws and in the end thought she was a far better choice than Trump. To pretend as if people were somehow unaware of the flaws that were brought almost daily throughout 2016 is kind of crazy. The reality is even though I may have known about Bernie Sanders for year, most of america didn't. It all came down to name recognition, same with Trump. Being constantly butt-hurt over it while we have a monster coming into office is not going to help a dam thing.

  1616. ***** Sorry to say it, but you're a fool if you seriously believe that: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/11/trump_and_clinton_share_same_special_interests.html http://fortune.com/2016/08/02/donald-trump-july-fundraising-wall-street-hedge-fund-hillary-clinton/ The only reason why Hillary got more money than Trump is because 1. they thought she would win and 2. they thought that Trump would fuck up the economy. So please stop pretending as if Trump didn't try to get Wall St money. He did. Filling your cabinet with Goldman Sach executives is not somehow an indication that you will be hard on wall street. He's doing the exact same thing that Bush did. Yet people still fall for the same bullshit all over again.

  1619. Vasting When did I ever talk about Brexit or a 2nd vote? Do you have Alzheimer's disease or something? Millions of UK citizens are asking for a second vote because their economy is going to shit and they're having buyer's remorse after being told a lie about all the puppies and rainbows they would get if they left the EU. I have a friend in the UK who's in panic mode because his business is about to take a nosedive so he's thinking about moving back to the US. Which is going to cost a lot more because the pound has lost so much value. Personally I don't care because it's not my country, I may be able to start hanging out with my friend again if he moves back, and the way the pound is dropping like crazy visiting the UK will be cheaper than ever later this year. So it may be a good time to check out Scotland. Assuming that they're still part of the UK :-)

  1621. iscrewy  Having a higher population is meaningless. Our dysfunction with education comes from our priorities not our population.  Higher taxes is also meaningless since "wealth per capita" and standard of living is higher in those countries and poverty rates are far lower.   Our obsession with low taxes and idolizing rich people is slowly turning us into a third world country, where government is ineffective and everything is controlled by a few cartels serving a wealthy elite.

  1623. For one thing "anonymity" doesn't mean not being able to see one's figure. Secondly "normal" clothing is also completely absurd.... The fact that men feel the need to wear suits, dress shirts, ties, etc. And women feel the need to wear heels, paint their face, and straighten their hair based purely on meaningless societal expectations is about as absurd as it gets.

  1628. Cenk is definitely right to an extent. Just because the US has done a lot of terrible interventions doesn't mean that intervention is always bad. "Blowback" is when you supply weapons to extremist elements expecting a good outcome it's not saving children... I think it's dangerous and foolish to look at every situation as black and white. That said there are the right ways to intervene. The US sending in "seal team six" should take a back seat to getting international consensus, NATO, etc.

  1631. We "would have" had over 800.000 deaths from Covid? Let me remind everyone that we have already had over a million deaths from Covid. Studies have repeatedly shown that official counts have ALWAYS underreported corvid deaths by quite a bit since not everyone who dies from Covid dies in a hospital and gets tested for Covid. The actual deaths were estimated to be over 900,000 months ago before the recent spike so we have surely gone over a million at this point.
    4
  1632. It's sad that someone had to ask if anyone had "non-lethal" options as opposed to that being the default. They had no problems finding their semi automatic weapons. We live in in a world were the only options are to shoot each other and see who dies first in order to resolve problems. The "wild west" was supposed to be the uncivilized part of our history, yet we have far more shootouts today. This is exactly what the NRA controlled conservatives wanted.

  1633. I don't think Trump will run again if he loses.... Fist off he'll be too old and secondly he wouldn't want too risk losing again. His ego can't take it. He'll milk the presidency for all he can though a media network, speaking fees, books, etc. He'll be happy as as long as he can blame China or the Deep State for his loss and constantly troll Biden from the sidelines.

  1634. 12:54 I hope you realize that you're also guilty of sniping at people who agree with you on 99% of issues.... You snipe at progressive politicians. You snipe at "the far left". You snap at Democrats and call them "monsters" and think you're being helpful. Meanwhile pundits on Fox News make it clear every day who the "enemy" is and immediately fall line when it comes to supporting Republican politicians and getting them elected... Culture war issues are easy and motivate people to vote, that is why politicians rely on them. However they are very effective at marketing and simplifying issues for people. Not everyone cares about nuance or the technical details of the economy and healthcare reform.

  1635. Literally the exact same thing happened in Atlanta a few years ago... Except the fire was started by a homeless guy with a drug problem, but it collapsed a part of the main highway that goes through the state. If you looked at the pictures of the I-85 bridge collapse you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and what happened in Philadelphia, the images look pretty much identical.

  1637. Trump is an amazingly dumb person.... The reason there are 70,000 dead Americans is not because China secretly developed a virus to kill their own people and ruin their own economy. It is because this IDIOT decided to spend his presidency focusing on a wall while ignoring the potential for a pandemic. In fact he dismantled many of the preparations to prepare for a pandemic that were done in previous administrations.

  1640. The vast majority of "short term rentals" are in vacation spots or the most expensive areas of a city where most people wouldn't be able to afford living anyway. Does Ana really think that "affordable housing" is going to be on beach front property? Also if people are suddenly not going on vacation, concerts, etc. then lowering the price may not actually do anything because there may be a variety of factors for why people aren't renting, it probably also depends a lot on the area.

  1642. Honestly 50% is not that high for the last Republican president... And it's hard to compare against people who haven't even announced yet, let alone started campaigning. Nikki Haley is pretty much the only one who has announced anything. If she hadn't I would guess she would be polling at 1% instead of 6%. If Liz Cheney is at 3% without even saying anything I wouldn't be surprised to see her at 8-10% if she actually announced she was running. Trump has basically been campaigning for the past 6 months and he was the last president, so 50% is hardly a blowout or anything.

  1643. Guided Meditation. Donna Brazille has never run for any political office nor has she ever appear to have any intention to. Believe it or not there are far more people employed in politics and government than the few hundred people in congress. So please stop with the simplistic narative.

  1644.  @Bramble451  I get the trade off, but they could spend a couple minutes doing a breakdown before/after talking about the political and media drama. The things I skip are Ana's monologues where she repeats the same talking points over and over. I would really enjoy it if she used that time to actually break down large bills like this and other pieces of legislation. Exactly... If they can put up tweets and talk about Joe Rogan's comments, they can surely spend more time on providing the very information they complain about the media not spending enough time on. It's disappointing, but it's almost as if 50% of the political commentary on YouTube is spent complaining about other media.

  1646. It's pretty meaningless to talk in vague concepts like "the left" and "the right". Ana, if you want to talk about men's mental health, then talk about it. Asking "the left" to do more in that area is pretty nonsensical. People like Jordan Peterson, evangelicals, etc. often grift off the suffering of people and use it as a platform for popularity. That isn't something that individuals on "the left" are ever involved with. However there are plenty of new age/holistic/health types that do talk about those issues that aren't exactly political.

  1648.  @MarquisVegan  She left because the only "debate" Cenk would have was just a phone call. Cenk would rather rant and yell at people on Twitter and on his channel instead of having a real discussion, actually diving into the issue, and doing any actual journalism.

  1649. Briahna is making the exact same arguments that were made for Ralph Nader over 20 years ago... Nothing has changed. Third parties haven't worked in this country because the system was never setup to support third parties. Stomping your feet and being mad at Democrats isn't going to change that calculous. Bernie Sanders has done more by running in the Democratic party primary and pushing the party left than Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, or Cornell West has and will ever do and to keep perpetuating a fantasy that voting 3rd party will cause democrats to "learn a lesson" somehow is absurd and ignores history.

  1650. Of course a scammer would know a scam when he sees one... Bitcoin as it is today is nothing more than a gambling instrument, a money making scheme, and a way to hide financial transactions for illegal activity. The money people "make" is usually US dollars or some other currency because Bitcoin doesn't mean anything without being leveraged against other government backed currencies. And yes it is a HUGE waste of energy. All that energy people waste mining bitcoin so that other people can gamble could go to so many other things.

  1651. It is "lockeroom talk", but at the same time it talks to the character of the president. The fact that he has absolutely no problems degrading women in front of total strangers while in a relationship goes to the psychology and character of the man. It isn't a controversy, but at the same time Fox News and republicans who continuously support Trump should never ever make a character argument against a democrat ever again, but you know they will because they're hypocrites.

  1652. Cops have no problems using a taser as a substitute for saying "please" when asking a person to do something, yet are somehow incapable of using it for what it actually was designed for as a non-lethal alternative to shooting someone...

  1653. It's amazing how these people can just get on stage and literally say nothing.... It's all platitudes.

  1654. 3:52 THANK YOU... I've been saying it for weeks. That the reason Trump keeps going on about stolen votes or illegal votes is likely because he either stole votes himself or tried to steal votes. I would not just look at 2016, but I would also look at 2020 and for a possible reason why the polls were so off. I would look very carefully at Florida where the polls were off and the leadership has been very favorable to Trump. They had no problems going as far as manipulating their Covid numbers to make the Governor and Trump look better...

  1655. 06:55 The "Russia thing" isn't about winning votes Kyle. If that's the reason why you think people (not politicians) are pushing for this investigation then you're seriously mistaken and you have political blinders on. The idea isn't "Hey if we push this Russia thing then Democrats will win!". The idea is to make sure our elections are not fucked for next time and if Trump is a criminal (which he most likely is) then his ass belongs in jail.... I don't give a shit about how it's "polling". If what you care about is based on polls then that would eliminate a lot of other topics too.

  1657. 02:12 It's been almost 75 years since the US detonated a nuclear bomb over Hiroshima. Not many nations have been able to replicate that on their own without help either Creating something that can just "fly" is a lot easier than landing on the moon. The first man made object that could "fly" didn't just start with the Wright Brothers People have literally been creating heavier than air products and toys that could "fly" for thousands of years. So it wasn't like the principles of flight were somehow unknown to people which is why two hobbyist were able to strap a motor to a glider (which were already invented) and create a motorized glider. Which is an idea that people could easily replicate and improve on. Not like space travel which coined the phrase "Rocket Scientist" because of how difficult the task is. People have been studying the rocks that came back from the Apollo missions for decades, pretty sure they would be able to tell the difference.... Classic conspiracy nonsense, you come up with an idea and cherry pick until you complete the story you want to tell.

  1658. It was official US policy (along with the EU, IMF and World Bank) to get rid of that corrupt prosecutor. There were literally Ukrainian protestors outside of parliament calling for him to be removed. That's why Biden was bragging about it in a public forum in front of cameras. It wasn't some secret. Educate yourselves already.

  1660.  @JohnSmith-to5ow  I tell you that it wasn't about tweets and then you reply and decide that the issue wasn't about anything else except a single tweet? Do you realize how gaslighting and insufferable you sound? If you don't actually understand what the issues have been with TYT and Ana why do you pretend as if you're an authority on what the response should be on those issues? I'm not going to respond to the rest of a comment because it is obviously coming from a place of ignorance. You seem to think that Emma, Sam, John, Francesca, Humanist Report, etc. as well as the people who quit TYT and stopped supporting them are all talking about a tweet? Never mind the fact that she was complaining about something that did not even apply to her.
    4
  1661.  @JohnSmith-to5ow  You're the one who mentioned tweets when my comment said nothing about tweets.... Those tweets were certainly cringe and misguided, but I largely didn't think too much about it. However everything changed and came to a head a month ago based on some statements that Ana was making on other programs and an unwillingness for TYT to address issues in good faith. They went out of the their way to bash "the far left" without giving any context or reason for why they're suddenly bashing their own supporters. Which ironically is very similar to the you're complaining about here. You don't need to platform right wing talking points and spend entire segments bashing the left over something minor on the internet you disagree with. Ana's comments were literally featured on the Fox News website and being used as propaganda against the left and trans people. I'm not surprised you don't know the full story, because TYT will rant about something that came from Twitter without giving their audience any context. I recommend watching these videos to get the actual context: --"Trans TYT Employee Quits, Condemns Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian’s Anti-Trans Rhetoric" --"Bad Faith Justifications For Trans Political Persecution MUST Be Met With Militant Advocacy" (Where Sam & Emma felt they had to say something even though Ana is Emma's friend) --"ANA KASPARIAN HAS LOST IT" (Cenk's cousin Hasan Piker where he slowly realizes how damaging Ana's commentary have been)

  1662. I know a lot of people who dream of money and power, those kinds of people want to own many companies or work in financial services. However I don't know of a single person who "innovates" because of money and power. Do you honestly think the early days of Microsoft and Apple came out of an incentive for "money and power" or do think it came out of drive to do something different than everyone else? There is a reason why there are people called "starving artists". There are reasons why there are people working in labs and universities doing nothing but research on meager salaries. Capitalism is an effective way of distributing technology, but huge leaps in technology often come from people who end up dying poor or not wealthy at all. There were people working on multi-touch interfaces for many years before Steve Jobs took that research and put it into a phone. Do you know the names of those people? Of course not because they didn't do it for money and power.

  1663. The reality is elections aren't held every 6 months, so pretending that polls 6 months into a presidency are in any way related to an "election" is absurd. Of course politicians are going to brag about what they did WHEN THEY ARE CAMPAIGNING, but that's not happening now.

  1667.  @jaykay415  Israelis literally say the same thing.... In fact I would bet that there are more Israelis who want to claim the entire land than there are Palestinians. Easy fix would be to offer equal rights and equal citizenship to all Palestinians, similar to what Israel does if you're Jewish. However they don't want to do that because they want to hold onto the idea of a "Jewish state" which is inherently racist. Instead they incentivize Jewish settlers to take Palestinian land, ethnically cleanse Palestinians, and try to increase the Jewish population by offering citizenship to ethnic jews. Israel was even caught sterilizing thousands of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in 2013 because they didn't want black Jews having babies.

  1669. It's no different than the fact that we have a lot of scientists that understand the impact of climate change, yet DC does absolutely nothing about it. Having economic knowledge and the political will to follow through with good ideas are two separate things.... In both cases our political system is too corrupted by money to implement real change.

  1670. If everyone having guns magically saved everyone then the military wouldn't have the phrase "collateral damage". Anyone who thinks making every street corner a warzone is a solution to anything should actually spend some time in one.

  1671. And it was just revealed that the video Project Veritas took of him was edited and altered and they offered him a bribe of 10,000 in order to lie. Which is not surprising to those who know that Project Veritas and James O'Keefe has never been interested in revealing the truth, only generating propaganda and fake stories.

  1672.  @pamelawing5747  I'm not ignoring those deaths It's just not relevant to the topic. "People died so therefore natural immunity in those that didn't, doesn't exist?". It's a complete non-sequitur. Immune system fatigue comes from the immunologists who are currently debating a 4th booster in Israel. The NYT published an article on it recently. Some are worried that multiple boosters in less than a year can cause a weakening of the response to actual Covid. Flu vaccines are yearly and are cocktail of a lot of different things, it isn't the same mRNA that forces cells to generate the same spike protein injected over and over. Keep in mind that research even with the 3rd booster and the long-term effects is still a work in progress. People pretend as if everyone has all the answers when they don't

  1673. Perfect example of how conservatism comes from feelings and beliefs rather than facts or logic. Ana brings up specific crimes that the FBI is lawfully investigating and Prager responds with how he "feels"....

  1676. Bill Clinton's administration started building drones and they first used to kill people under George Bush and the program was greatly expanded, so I don't know why you're implying that it somehow began under Obama.
    4
  1677.    Correction: Trump's own FBI found 10 counts of obstruction that the DOJ couldn't prosecute him for because he is president. His own lawyer is in jail for committing crimes FOR Trump. Then Trump was impeached for another crime. His foundation and university were also shut down for fraud and self dealing. So keep on mindlessly repeating Trump's talking points like a trained parrot and see how far it gets you in life. 😂 As if "the left" somehow made Trump do illegal things. 😂

  1678. Conservatives sure love to blame "culture" and wag their fingers at minorities, however I have yet to see any policy from a conservative to actually fix "culture". Where is the legislation to prevent fathers from going to jail? Where is the legislation to outlaw divorce? Gee, maybe blaming "culture" is just an excuse to do nothing about inequality in our society? 🤔

  1679. She should be charged for her behavior, but not a "hate crime". Unconscious bias (which we all have) should not be criminalized. She attacked the kid because she thought he had her phone, the reason she thought he had her phone may have been because he was young and black, however she didn't attack him because he was black.

  1682. Jeez Ana... Your political instincts are terrible. So people should hate Democrats because of California and San Francisco? You mean the richest state and one of the richest cities in the entire country? Talk about mindlessly internalizing right wing framing. Do you honestly think California is worse off than people in Kentucky? Mississippi? Louisiana? West Virginia? I'm honestly just SHOCKED how easily you've been roped into accepting right wing framing.

  1685. Buy local people... Almost all of my meat comes from people I know personally. It doesn't have to come from big industrial farms that treat their animals like crap. "If it's not broke don't fix it" is the motto in almost any businesses. I'm pretty sure TYT or it's website doesn't have state of the art cybersecurity. No one would really expect to that a meat company would be a target compared to a bank or financial institution....

  1689. Cletus, Sapien do you guys not get that this specific policy was started in April of this year and that in that two months that it was implemented there were 5 times higher than in Trump's first year? Do you not get that 5 is greater than 1 and that it was a specific policy that led to that? Yes there were policies under Bush and Obama that led to children being separated, but pretending that it is the same is lying to yourself and others around you.

  1698. The amount of civilians vs military that Hamas killed on Oct 7th is literally no different than the civilians vs Hamas that the IDF targets in Gaza. In fact, depending on the numbers you believe of actual Hamas that have been killed since Oct 7th, you could easily argue that the IDF targets more civilians than Hamas.
    4
  1699. 21:01 Does Ana somehow think the police don't focus on poor immigrants and black neighborhoods in the US for precisely the same reasons? To take an official statement at face value and not give it context... Yes I'm sure there is drug activity going on in poor city neighborhoods like there is all over the world, but the focus on immigrants may not be related directly to crime. It may also be political and ideological like it is often here.
    4
  1700. They don't kill people precisely because they aren't shitty. They're fighting against shitty people. However the right will try to pretend that punching someone or vandalism is the same as killing men, women, and children in a mass shooting.
    4
  1701. The moral of all of these stories is that everyone should be armed, and if you see someone else with a gun then you should immediately shoot first and make sure the person is dead so that you can claim self defense. Instead of protests we just have shootouts between people who have different political beliefs.
    4
  1702. Sorry Ana I couldn't disagree with you more... Biden is president of the United States, NOT president of the world. He doesn't need to be as bad as Trump, but politically he needs to take credit for things that are going well. Conservatives and Centrists only care about how awesome we are, they don't care about the rest of the world. Trying to be meek about accomplishments like Obama did for 8 years isn't going to help anything other than getting Trump get re-elected in 4 years.

  1703. Here's a typical conversation with my female friends: Them: "OMG my hair is a mess, my makeup is bad, my outfit is going wrong... Why didn't you tell me that this thing was out of place!" Me: "Uhhh.... you look great to me....." Honestly I think most of the criticisms against female perfection come from other women. I've never met a guy who was hung up on nails, eyebrows, shoes, eye lashes, and hundreds of other things that I've seen women obsess over. Sure there is a double standard that men age better but that's mostly to do with evolution. When men get older they tend to have more wealth and power and those things are beneficial to raising a family.

  1704. Nice job moping for 14 minutes guys.... What does the GOP do? Motivate their base regardless of what the polls say. What does the Left do? Sit around and mope when the polls change two points and pretend that nothing that can be done. We get way too caught up overthinking every damn little thing. Christ guys what the hell are you doing exactly?
    4
  1705. What we've learned from other "non-lethal" methods (tasers, pepper spray, rubber bullets, etc.) is that the police won't use it as an "alternative to killing someone, they will just use it as an every day procedure and as an "alternative to being a human being"
    4
  1706. You're combining a lot of issues at once here... I feel like this could be more interesting if you took a subset of these issues and made a longer segment about it. It's not surprising that if a lot of dudes are into gaming that there would be more gaming dudes who are popular on Twitch. It's the same with a lot of industries. You can't suddenly expect the audience to change overnight and demand popularity.

  1707. Jacy, So what is your "evidence"? based on what Netanyahu said? Because Putin just said that he wanted Trump to win and directed his officials to make it happen. I really don't understand the double standard that you people have.

  1708. A lie every 5.07 minutes? I didn't realize that Trump was getting more honest.
    4
  1709. Duh... Do you honestly think anyone believes that Trump somehow invented racism? However there is no question that Trump has emboldened racist groups in the country. Racists attacks are up since he's been elected and many white supremacists groups have openly said that Trump is "their guy".

  1710.  @bugeye8749  Clearly your niece was influenced by adults with very backwards and negative ideas. Sorry, but negativity towards a color is a learned thing, not natural. It'a failure on your education that you somehow think that. I saw it all as a kid. The kids with dumb/racist families were always the ones with issues. Attempting to normalize your ignorance and pretend that it's somehow scientific when nothing you're saying is even remotely evidence based is just sad.

  1714. There is a lot more on the line than just your personal feelings.... Tell the families of the tens of thousands of people who died unnecessarily from Covid 19 that "two evils argument is BS". How about the separated kids who may never see their families again? Or the thousands who died because Trump and the GOP cut back the ACA and Medicaid expansion? Or how about all the kids who will grow up with development problems or painful disorders because of the environmental regulations that Trump decided weren't necessary. Some people don't have the luxury of just sitting on the sidelines and feeling good about their choices.
    4
  1715. 03:05 Suddenly there's "so much to do in the middle of a pandemic". Apparently there wasn't much to do for the past 10 months, but suddenly when Trump is getting impeached there's so much to do....

  1716. I was saying ALL through the primary and election that Wikileaks should not be trusted. Assange basically said that he was out to "bring down" Hillary Clinton, that's not a journalist... And the selective release of DNC emails and not the RNC emails, which were likely worse because the GOP establishment were trying to oust Trump by any means necessary, right before the election was OBVIOUSLY done for political reasons and not journalistic ones.

  1720. Instead of blaming robots for making life easier, you should blame capitalism for requiring everyone to work for a living... The idea that we need to stop technological progress just so people can work for 8 hours in a job they hate that isn't fulfilling just so they can make the monopoly money they need to survive is pretty silly. Maybe we should also destroy cars and motorcycles so that people can no longer drive themselves conveniently at high speeds just so more people can be employed as rickshaws.
    4
  1721.  @revamp8835  What exactly is your argument here? That because other black people have committed crimes before, so therefore this black guy deserves it? Should I murder you because white people are more likely to be serial killers? Since white people commit far more pedophilia, therefore you're a pedophile too? I really don't understand your dumb racist logic, so you'll have to explain it to me.
    4
  1722. I don't know why the media doesn't call it what it is.... It's the very definition of a Cult of Personality. The MSM should be repeating that term over and over.
    4
  1723. The idea that a political party is going to "learn a lesson" from a loss, is nothing more than right wing thinking. It's the mentality that punishment is a motivator. Similar to how people think that if you wag your finger at "fatherlessness", that it will somehow magically fix the problem.

  1724. A couple people denying that dysphoria exists isn't the reason for the bigoted violence and pollical attacks that trans people have endured for years nor is it the reason behind these jokes. Stop being absurd. Stop enabling hate.

  1725. Well over half a million Americans are dead half which would be alive today if Trump and people like Graham took the virus more seriously, but according to him we should be more afraid because 3,000 people died two decades ago...
    4
  1726. I don't know why Ana keeps falling into the trap of thinking that the past will always repeat itself... In 2016 Trump didn't have a political record that other republicans could attack. Now he does. Part of the reason he could be effective in debates is that he could attack the records of other politicians while making promises and claiming he was a billionaire over and over. There is TONS of things that he can be attacked for now that conservatives have been steering clear of. Once Republicans gain their courage to attack Trump he's a target rich environment and if right wing media turn against him he's done.... Trump's supporters will just follow the next bandwagon that right wing media tells them to follow. Just like they did with the Bush administration.

  1728. I've been watching TYT since the beginning. I don't think Ana is grifting, but I've always felt she was going to lean right when she got older. Mostly because she's very reactionary. She gets to a point where all she wants to do is justify her feelings rather than empathizing with others or listening to other positions. It's a tendency I noticed a long time ago. The past few years on the show you would see Cenk try to make her happy by saying "Ana has a point here." or "Ana was right on that one", but you hardly ever see the opposite unless she's with John Idorola on a silly story.

  1729.  @wesleygordon1645  Jared was initially put in charge of our Covid response which was disastrous before Pence was put in charge and it was slightly less disastrous. Jared also purposely let people die in the early days of the pandemic because it was effecting blue states more than red states. So keep telling yourself that it somehow wasn't harmful... These people are in front of world leaders and inflaming tensions in the middle-east and making us look like completely fools in front of our allies due to their dumb rhetoric. Meanwhile Hunter Biden gets a cushy job and somehow the sky is falling. 🙄
    4
  1730. Not surprising. Now poll those 55% republicans and see how many would still go along with banning trans people from bathrooms, banning children's books referencing anything remotely LGBTQ, or ban gay teachers, or ban LGBTQ from the military. Just because a slim majority can acknowledge a basic fact doesn't mean that many in that same cohort wouldn't go along with hate legislation. Nor do you see these Republicans sticking their neck out to stand up for LGBTQ individuals as they are being attacked non-stop.
    4
  1731.  @21forevergone  It is not a dumb take, it's a realistic one. You saying: "people should inform themselves" isn't going to magically make that happen in 2028... Both of you have extremely childish takes that accomplish nothing other than fulfilling your own personal self satisfaction of wagging your fingers at people. People you're not even talking to right now.

  1734. Sorry, I'm not going to have a conversation about a guy hitting on a woman as she was LEAVING his company. Creating a controversy over this "bad relationship" is the best defense Matt Lauer can get. Ana, you are seriously undermining the cause by pretending that every relationship is the same as what Cosby, Weinstein, etc. did to women.... People are allowed to have bad relationships and they are allowed to make bad decisions. It doesn't matter if they are 24 or 54. You're jumping the shark and minimizing sexual assault and sexual harassment by trying to justify this bullshit as a real story.

  1736.  Fearless Grape  20,000 lies in the first few years of Trump's presidency, extorting the Ukrainian government and risk the lives of their people just to make them tell lies on your political opponent, and quarter million Americans dead because of those lies and incompetence. Sorry, but the few lies that Biden has told doesn't come anywhere close to that. You people don't give a crap about your country or and it sickens me..

  1737. 1. It's a tunnel. A prototype has to actually do something different than what already exists. Right now this is just a tunnel. 2. And how is that any faster or better than just driving down the road? How is it any better than a subway? How is that better than a normal "tunnel"? 3. Doesn't make it any less disappointing when he promised a hyperloop by 2020. 4. Cool story. However it's clearly just marketing to make it seem cooler than it is. 5. I can almost guarantee it will never go anywhere beyond basic promotional gimmicks. 6. Modern tunnels have multiple lanes, service tunnels, and space for accessibility during emergencies, etc. You know... "safety".

  1738. Many diseases and viruses have also not been eradicated without a proper vaccine. Which means simply guessing that this virus is going to be gone does not help anybody. Guessing that it might be gone is also not helpful to anyone. Coming up with a PLAN that will save thousand of people in the event it's not gone IS however helpful.
    4
  1739. Bullshit.... Nearly every Democratic candidate is talking about wages and corruption. The thing that is uniting Trump supporters at this is point is fear of minorities. Do you think Trump is swearing off "corporate PAC money"? Do you think his supporters care?
    4
  1740. Why aren't psychiatrists and doctors in charge of this process? Why do we have this attitude in this country that we can only solve people with issues through either prison or harsh and inhumane measures? This is literally the equivalent of using blood letting and leaches to treat all illnesses in the middle-ages because people were too lazy to do a proper diagnosis.
    4
  1741. 09:25 BS Cenk... I was still watching a MSNBC off and on back in 2016. They did not scream over the investigations into Clinton's email server or consider it an outrage that she was being investigated. Everyone was waiting to see what the result was and when the results came out they covered it. The only time it was questionable was when Comey started making weird announcements like a week before the election. Which you also criticized. I'm sick and tired of this "both side" nonsense as if any network brazenly lied like Fox News has done for the past 25 years....

  1743. Africa, Asia, India, North/South America and the Middle East where ALL the victim of European imperialism and colonialism. There is a reason why their is disarray, political turmoil, and poverty in these areas. Racists are simply people who look for simple explanations because they are ignorant about the world and history.
    4
  1744. What an odd thing for Clinton to say. It almost makes me think that Clinton was recruited as a Russian agent after losing the election.... What better way to create chaos in an election and to increase Trump's chances of re-election than for the former presidential candidate to accuse people in her own party of being Russian spies? Then again that's just another conspiracy theory with no evidence 😂

  1745.  @chop54321  They didn't break into THEIR property, they walked into a gated community and walked along a sidewalk in that gated community and trespassing in a gated community isn't something you can shoot someone for. Stop lying about the circumstances in order to justify a criminal act As if people walking along a sidewalk is a life or death situation demanding an assault rifle. You people are effing nuts.

  1749. I agree more with Ana here... Tucker has made a living being able to sound reasonable while at the same time appealing to the lizard brain. He has no problem being able to sound reasonable in that room to Cenk, but notice the amount to times he deflected from the question that was ask. Also notice how many times he kept coming back to the same arguments over and over. Such as not being able to talk without being called a racist when that was never the actual subject of the conversation.

  1750. Told ya again.... There's a reason Tulsi never signed the progressive pledge. She never supported Medicare for All until it was popular, She was advocated against gay marriage (even civil unions)until it was popular. She was "on the fence" when asked about torture less than 5 years ago. She DOES NOT HAVE STRONG BELIEFS and you shouldn't trust anything of what she says. She's against war but in 2015 she was criticizing Obama for NOT bombing Syria 4 years ago. Trust her at your peril... Tulsi is highly political and does a lot of weird and underhanded things.
    4
  1751. The legal argument here basically suggests that as soon as Kyle Rittenhouse pointed his weapon at people, then someone else should have shot him dead... The law is basically telling people that they should "shoot first". This is an extremely dangerous precedent.

  1755. You're flip flopping Kyle.... If you think drugs should be legal then the dealer shouldn't be going to prison. You can pretty much overdose on most drugs even alcohol. So why should the negligent use of that drug be the responsibility of the dealer? Yes in an ideal world these drugs should be regulated, but we don't live in that world and there is no regulation. However we don't use PRISON as a stop gap measure for lack of regulation. If the solution is to legalize, tax, and regulate drugs, then push for THAT solution instead of pretending that imprisoning people solves anything. To me paying for the guy's funeral is a much better stop gap solution than just throwing people in jail who are just going to be replaced by another uneducated dealer. At least THIS dealer will be educated from now on whereas someone else may not care.

  1756. Apparently Tulsi Gabbard did date Michael Grimm... Just another reason I don't trust her.

  1757. We all live in our bubbles TYT. So many times I've heard Ana and Cenk complain about "something" from "someone" based on what I assume is a back and forth without any context. But twitter is reactionary by nature so creating a comment on Twitter without the background because you're reacting to something is not surprising or anything.
    4
  1758. Does the DoE and FBI have epidemiologists that I'm not aware of?.... Saying it was a lab leak because there was a lab studying coronaviruses in Wuhan is like saying firefighters start fires cause they happen to be where the fires are. Chances are pretty good that you would put a lab to study coronaviruses where there are more coronaviruses. Guessing back and forth by people who don't know what they are talking about is pretty nonsensical. The world should keep pushing for more information and disclosures. All guessing at this point is purely political.

The Beatles used to visit LBJ to get pointers on songs and lyrics because LBJ had his finger on the pulse of the American youth and knew exactly what they wanted to listen to. Barak Obama is also responsible for "mumble rap". One day a reporter was asking Obama questions while the president was eating a turkey sandwich and the rest is history...

  1766. Yet another example of why TYT needs someone who actually understand technology talking about these things... 🤦‍♂ At some point this technology will literally put most graphics designers out of business. That merch you sell, t-shirts, cups, etc. could be recreated with anyone with an internet connection, but sure lets be distracted by people creating weird images...

  1769. I like how people pretend to know what Clinton did and didn't do based on nothing but their feelings. Obviously this all happened WAY BEFORE Clinton started vetting people for VP. All I can say is that because Warren didn't run in 2016 Bernie did. Which also kicked off a lot of progressive policies, justice democrats, and made the democratic party more progressive than it was a few years ago. We now have two progressive front runners in the primary. Which would not be the case if Bernie hadn't run in 2016.

  1772. ryanr20091 It kind of does dude... Not sure where you're from that trials and convictions somehow don't mean anything, but in this country they do. You're the reason why women don't feel safe in this country. What kind of person thinks that 50 women are just making shit up and that Cosby did nothing wrong?

  1774. It costs at least one million dollars to imprison someone for life. The lengths people go just to be mean to other groups of people. You could literally buy an entire family a house and give them an allowance for a decade or two for half of that.

  1775. Non-citizens can't get food stamps dumbass.... US citizens ALSO cost taxpayers billions in healthcare and education but just like undocumented people they work and pay taxes. You would have to be a complete moron to somehow believe that "working for a living" only applies to citizens.

  1779. Ana, just because YOU know everything in the Mueller report doesn't mean that the vast majority of the public does, cause they don't. The fact is televising this hearing puts it into the zeitgeist far more than a 400 page report.

  1780. By that logic wouldn't more testosterone also make Dave Rubin straight? Or does testosterone only work magically on gender but not attraction? I would have much more respect for Dave Rubin if he walked around with a t-shirt that said "right wing cuck". Being honest about the grift would be a much better look.

  1781. Is it okay to have a statue honoring the regular Nazi? I don't understand what you think is being honored here.

  1782. I've always been torn on this. We shouldn't be relying on heroes as s substitute for policy and I don't know if it's really your job to lay down your life when someone is armed with an assault rifle and you have a pea shooter. Most people would think they would do the right thing in that situation, but the reality is you just don't don't know how you would react until it happens. A lot of studies show that people aren't the heroes they think they are.

  1783. One of my black female colleagues once told me that when she started in her career her boss (old black male I believe) told her straight up: "When your hair is relaxed, they're relaxed". Of course by "they" he meant white men and women.

  1784. So Shapiro's argument is basically "Let's do nothing and pretend we cannot compare better outcomes in other countries because 'demographics are different'". I suspect that "demographics" wouldn't get in the way of him arguing for lower taxes.

  1785. Everyone talking about this story mentions the same 3 tweets... You do realize that "the left" is a lot more than a few people on twitter, right? Yet somehow the fringe on twitter dictates the entire conversation.

  1786. Laissez faire arguments are always based on OPINIONS. In other words "if you do this then naturally this will happen". Rarely do these people actually base their attitudes on real verifiable data.

  1787. Sounds like one company prioritizes protecting something from getting stolen (Tile) and the other company prioritizes people simply misplacing their stuff (Apple). I don't know how you can keep someone from stealing your stuff if you alert the thief to the fact that they are being tracked.
    4
  1788.  @danialhillmann5374  Yes I'm familiar with how libertarians completely disregard how the creation of society has lead to the health and wellbeing of a people. So the idea of thinking beyond simply "shooting people who get in your way or take your stuff" is not a something you would typically do.
    4
  1789.  @kentPitbull  No one said that business owners can't have security, get insurance to cover losses, or even a gun as a deterrent. I'm talking about the random guy who sees something wrong and immediately starts shooting. If people don't see that as a problem or even as a potential problem then I think there is something deeply wrong with them.
    4
  1790.  @danialhillmann5374  First off... No one said anything about it being "okay to rob". I wish people would stop resorting to straw man arguments. Secondly, "defending your property", or having security, doesn't actually have to mean murdering people... If someone shoplifts a snicker's bar do I think they should be murdered over it? No, of course not. I think people should have a pretty high bar for murdering others. Lastly, war is an entirely different situation... Even if Putin took over all of Ukraine it's not like he was going to take the houses, cars, and iPhones of civilians. So you're not making apples to apples comparisons there.

  1792.  @scotaloo77g73  TYT is a news commentary show that covers stories that they want to talk about. Oh No! 😲 does that make you want to cry? 😥😭 Get a grip dude, all media covers things they want to cover. That's even more true of the right who suddenly decide to cover stories involving an undocumented immigrant committing a murder in order to help "dear leader" smear immigrants.

  1794. TYT has been lacking nuance lately.... No one said "presidents aren't allowed to talk to people", but there's a fundamental difference between Biden calling someone and criticizing his op ed and talking smack vs Hannity literally going to weekly meetings the white house to help Trump run his campaign strategy. That's what people were complaining about. Hannity was on the campaign trail with Trump and also coordinating talking points when something hit the news. Trump calls people all the time, that's NOT what we had a problem with. Just like we didn't have a problem with Cuomo talking to his brother, but it became a problem when he was using his brother to create cover from a political scandal. Geez apparently there's no context with you guys anymore... Also it was Donna Brazile who fed questions to Clinton, not CNN. She was fired by CNN for doing that and you're pretending that CNN was somehow in on it. CNN has all sorts of problems, but I hate false equivalencies... They are nothing like Fox News.

  1796. 07:00 Cenk.... The largest political affiliation in this country are INDEPENDENTS.... We really need to stop thinking in terms of the Republican base vs the Democratic base. The GOP is even slightly smaller than the Democratic party right now.

  1797. I find it funny that somehow "Yoga" is valid yet other stretching classes are not. People pay for physical therapy, training, coaching, etc. Is it really a '"stretch" to think that there could be experts on extending different muscle groups in a safe way?

  1799. So it's now Ana's responsibility to comment on anything that an Armenian might have done throughout the history of Armenia? Is it also your job to comment on the Native American Genocide and Jim Crow too or does that obligation only belong to immigrants and minorities in this country?

  1800. Covid has already been endemic for awhile. After the more infectious variants emerged, there was never a plan to stop someone from getting infected indefinitely from Covid. It has been circulating amongst vaccinated, unvaccinated, pets, and wildlife. The myocarditis was more of a concern for younger people who were less susceptible to being sick or hospitalized to begin with. Not the general population. That is why the data is "noisy" when you're looking at people under 40.
    4
  1801.  @g.e.o.r.g.e...  I think you have that flipped... Warren has actual plans and actual bills, whereas Delaney was mostly just talking. BTW there are literally dozens of countries offering free healthcare and tuition to their citizens and they aren't being "plundered". People also somehow forget that we've had free education through high school in this country for a very long time. Even during periods where this country received far greater numbers of immigrants. We also have free healthcare for people who show up to the ER, it's just far more expensive than preventative care. The only reason people don't think it's possible is because they're stuck in the past.
    4
  1802. The cost of health Insurance for employers is ALREADY a head tax on each employee and their families. So it's pretty disingenuous to claim that somehow Warren's plan will impact employees anymore than than what is already in place.
    4
  1803. 20 years ago I used to think that Republican arguments about "character" were total bullshit. However 20 years later it's crazy to see how a single president (Trump), who had so little regard for truth and honesty, could embolden liars, racists, xenophobes, bigots, terrorists, etc.
    4
  1804. I would love to see Bernie Sanders as the nominee with Kamela Harris as his VP. To me that would be the perfect combo. Bernie with the policy leading the nation with Kamela as a ruthless attack dog against the GOP who could not only get "the establishment" behind Bernie's ideas but could also rally the female/black vote for those who care about identity politics.

  1808.  @avag8242  Her dad founded an anti-gay organization that Tulsi spent years being a leader in and fighting against all gay rights in Hawaii.

  1809. @Phil Mitchell Trump and Mitch McConnel have been packing the circuit courts.... The effects of which will be felt for decades... dumbass.
    4
  1810. @Phil Mitchell Well the gist of that comment is that there are many more concerns and issues when it comes to reelecting Trump. I don't see how Biden would have killed a 100,000 Americans because he didn't care about pandemics. I don't see Biden dismantling the ACA and killing thousands who depended on it. I don't see Bien ripping up the Iran Nuclear Deal and almost going to war with Iran TWICE... I don't see Biden tearing up as many environmental regulations as he can. Your comment is basically "I'm angry so I don't care". You're not offering anything at all other than apathy. So really don't know what to tell you. There is a difference, but you don't seem to care to understand what that difference is. You just want to pick up your toys and go home. So what is anyone supposed to do with that?

  1812.  @Mnorton1986  No, I'm not "kidding you". If you're excluded, ridiculed, segregated, arrested, and demonized based on how you look. Then don't be shocked when people identify with that attribute. One of my black female friends early in her career was told by her boss that she needed to straighten her hair in order to make their white clients feel more comfortable. It had nothing to do with sexual attraction and the history of hair relaxing was to make black people look more white. I'm sure you've NEVER heard of such a thing have you? The fact that you haven't had to deal with issues like that is the very definition of "white privilege". You get to not worry about it because society considers you "the default". That is not the case for most minorities in this country. A little education can go a long way my friend.

  1813. TYT doing stories on basic fail videos now? I've probably seen this same thing 5-10 times over the past 5 years in other videos.

  1814. If you're vaccinated, you STILL can be walking around with Covid and "not know it". How many times do people have to say that you can STILL transmit covid if you're vaccinated? This has been proven for almost a year now. Are you even thinking about the policies you're advocating for are you simply on autopilot as an antagonist against the right wing? Furthermore, wearing a mask is how hospital workers prevent transmission of pathogens. That's how that's supposed to work. Wearing PPE is far more effective than relying on a vaccine or weekly tests.

  1817. I actually get hardly any recommendations from mainstream media. I have to scroll down pretty far to see something from MSNBC or CNN. I guess it depends on how much you watch on youtube. If you don't have much watch history, it'll probably recommend something more mainstream.
    4
  1818. Should Congress do their job? Yes, Congress should do their job. Impeachment isn't just about this administration, but about many administrations to come. The Democrats already let one administration get away with torture and an illegal war. We either have checks and balances or we don't
    4
  1819. You're not talking about "politics" , you're talking about negotiating positions and tactics. The "politics" is whether the US should be supporting Ukraine or not. However you're looking for a specific list of strategies, demands, and negotiating positions. It is almost entirely unproductive to have a public discussion of tactics, possible concessions, and negotiating positions in the middle of a war.

    4
  1824. Not that the judge's reasoning was valid or anything, but I think the whole "charging a child as an adult" things is utter bullshit.... I agree with Ben Mankiewicz on this. We don't charge kids as adults because we think that their brains are not developed enough to understand their actions. That reasoning doesn't magically change based on how horrible the crime is. It is simply an excuse we use to satisfy a desire for revenge when something horrible happens. If you can make a scientific argument that throwing kids in prison years somehow makes society better then I'll hear it, but right now a lot of these young people simply get more indoctrinated in crime by serving time and end up right back in jail.

  1825. "I don't want to be educated".... "I'm not interested in reality"... Republicans tell on themselves every day.

  1826. And Tulsi Gabbard, who also served, just sat there with no comment while fondling Tucker's balls under the chyron. Of course, if Tucker called on her to talk about a progressive or a Democrat who criticized an army veteran, Tulsi would have no problems feigning outrage.
    4
  1827. I don't think anyone calling themselves "LordDeliverUs' would be able to tell if it was "faith based" or not. 😂 Also you're not actually doing anything about child trafficking by watching a movie. You're only getting a greatly dramatized exaggeration of the actual problem, like most movies. There isn't anything "ground breaking" about it. You like a story for supporting your beliefs, nothing more.
    4
  1828. -"Is an act of desperation by decent law abiding Americans who have been forced into a corner by tyrants..." Imagine if Tucker had the same attitude towards the few people on BLM protests that vandalized, trespassed, or looted?
    4
  1829. I'm sorry, but the Lincoln Project isn't somehow obligated to support everything you want supported. Not sure why Republicans being against Trump triggers you so much. The left needs to take "yes" for an answer sometimes. If it were the "FDR project" or something you would see the GOP on TV every single day talking about how Democrats are leaving the party because of how radical the part has gotten., but for some reason we have to overanalyze EVERY DAMN THING. Christ, just take "yes" for an answer, use it to your advantage, and MOVE ON.
    4
  1830. China is the one who escalated tensions. I do not accept that visiting a country and talking is ever the basis for an "escalation". I really dislike how we on the left don't accept tyrants in our own country, but we blindly accept the tyrants in other countries. There is no reason to blame ourselves for China acting like a child and being a bad actor. I think the arrogance is always thinking the US has to control the reactions of bad people in the world and that Taiwan has no agency to say no if they didn't want Pelosi to come.
    4
  1831. I disagree... I am an introvert, I hate group conversations, but I also think discouse is what is missing in our politics. Furthermore the fact that you have rank choice voting in a caucus is a good thing. The private ballot box is where money in politics and racism, xenophobia, and bigotry have the most influence. Voting should be easier, but we need to talk to our neighbors. We're not going to solve problems sitting around in our bubbles and silos.
    4
  1832. Are people forced to pay for the police to save you from getting mugged? Are people being forced to pay for the fire fighters who show up to save you or your family? Do you have a better argument besides "people being forced to pay for things" because you don't understand how insurance or society works?

  1833. Talking about Hillary's emails worked in 2016, so Trump is thinking that the exact same strategy will work again in 2020.... Because he's dumb as shit. 😂

  1834. I think you've gotten relationship dynamics from 1980s sitcoms or twitter... I literally don't know any dude that makes fun of their wives or girlfriends to their male friends.

  1835. Fun Fact: Tulsi Gabbard was dating Michael Grimm when he was threatening to throw a reporter off a balcony. And yet people were still surprised when she turned right wing after the 2020 election.
    4
  1836. Every large gathering is going to have some unsavory characters. Pretending that seeing a confederate flag makes the entire protest racist, is no different than Fox News saying the entire BLM was nothing more than a violent mob because of the few anarchists who vandalized buildings and set things on fire. I really expect better from you TYT. Whether you're in favor of the protest or not. This is trash coverage.
    4
  1837. To be fair I'm sure you can find more than 20% of Americans that believe in Aliens, Ghosts, Demons, Hollow Earth, illuminate, and all sorts of things. Human beings have always had a propensity to believe in the fantastical and use that to explain the world around them. Which is why politics and religion often get combined.
    4
  1838. Trump wasn't "vulgar" on twitter. He is declared himself the winner, claimed over and over that there is mass voting fraud when there is no evidence for it, refused to release funds for a seamless transition in the middle of a pandemic, and ordered everyone in the administration to not acknowledge Biden's win. What the President of the United States says MATTERS... If you can't acknowledge how anti-American this is then you have no business being a political analyst.

  1839. It must really smell like hundreds of trees slowly dying just so they can carry trinkets in there.

  1840.  @kourii  I had to look up the origins of the term, but basically it's the ratio of replies to likes and re-tweets. If you have a lot of replies compared to likes and retweets it's an indication that you said something wrong.

  1843. There is zero evidence of Biden getting his son a job. So stop lying. I'm sick and tired of you liars. Hunter Biden didn't become an issue until Joe Biden decided to run for president. That's when Giuliani decided to cook up a story around Hunter Biden and Burisma.
    4
  1844. Gee Kyle. Literally every business owner in America also thinks their employees having a kid is "bad timing", You judging Pete for taking time off of what you think "might be" an important job is the the same bias business owners have made against women for hundreds of years. I don't really like Pete, but I'm sure he's capable of making a value judgment between the importance of his job right now and paid time off to take of an infant.

  1845. Also according to Jimmy: If Trump becomes president we will get progressive president and a progressive congress. How did your genius plan work out Jimmy?

  1846. The question no one seems to be asking is whether climate change, forest management, and dry weather are as much to blame for this fire and death than the smoke bomb. It seems far easier to blame those silly people doing a gender reveal, than asking how a fire can spread out of control so easily in the first place?... Because guess what... Even without gender reveals there are going to be more fires in California and more people are going to die. Putting these people in jail isn't going to change that fact.
    4
  1847. Sitting around saying "war sucks" really doesn't do much for the people of Ukraine. Ben's constant suggestion of "maybe if the US was nicer, Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine" kind of pisses me off. Diplomatic gestures mean absolutely nothing to a man determined to consolidate power and preserve his legacy. Putin has always wanted to take Ukraine, and everyone living there knew that. This isn't somehow "golly gee, I didn't want to invade Ukraine, but the US made me 🤷🏼‍♂️"

  1848. Yeah cause selling weed is just so dangerous that you need to kill people and traumatize their kids for the rest of their lives.

  1849. This is what Trump Defense Syndrome looks like. I'm surprised you didn't say that Trump never did sanctions and never pulled out of the Nuclear Deal.

  1850. I went to FL a few weeks ago. Even where the "red tide" isn't the beaches are just not the same.... full of seaweed, the water just smells in places, I remember coughing for awhile when I got out of the water. Tourism is Florida's biggest industry and this asshole would rather suck up to some corporations and a few wealthy donors instead of taking the ecological crises their seriously.

  1851. Maybe Trump will actually do a little research on the people he hires instead of just looking at their appearance or how well they kiss his ass....

  1853. Fired? They should arrested for assault & battery. Imagine if your mother was just standing there taking a video and suddenly some dude slams her to the asphalt and manhandles her. Anyone would be livid. There is ZERO reason to detain and handcuff people who are just standing there talking to you and not being evasive at all.
    4
  1854. Apparently you're making up an argument based on a lot of right wing garbage. Criticizing Cory because she needs security because of the death threats she's getting is apparently far more important to you than families staying in their homes.
    4
  1855.  @jamesrichardwilliam22  No... Do you have an actual argument somewhere or are these simplistic attacks all you're capable of?
    4
  1856. Let's do absolutely nothing and attack people who support our positions. Sure, that's how we'll get change.... People like Dore care only about themselves. They try to get popular by attacking their own so they can get on Tucker Carlson's show, just so they can get more views on their channel.

  1857. "If it weren't for someone mentioning a pronoun I'd gladly throw my life away on BS wars around the world"

  1858. The underlying theme of today's Trump conservatives is authoritarianism.... To them "America" means "I get to tell you what to do". They are all waiting to line up behind a strong man who will gives them permission to take out their anger on other people. That's what Trump was to a lot of people.
    4
  1859. I don't know Cenk.... A bunch of moderates against Bernie Sanders also means that the moderate message will be amplified considerably especially by two billionaires and someone supported by billionaires (Buttigieg) who will be spending A LOT of money on ads specifically to tear down Sanders. Without a Warren you'll have one lone voice against the entire establishment. Fortunately I think Sanders can handle it, because he is the only one with a consistent message. However there is also a chance that he could fall apart like Corbyn in the UK who couldn't stand up to the constant onslaught of propaganda against him

  1860. So there's a single politician somewhere that said something dumb on twitter and that's supposed to represent "the left"? How exactly does that work Ana? You yourself have made broad generalizations about "the far left" somehow being okay with crime and no one knows WTF you're even talking about. You can literally do interviews with numerous Trump supporters (on your own channel) and many will tell you that Biden worships the devil and that they don't care if Trump becomes a dictator. THERE'S A REASON why racism, xenophobia, and bigotry works in the right wing. You can't fight that by pretending it doesn't exist. That isn't the powerful. That is the powerful leveraging and amplifying the bigotry that already exists with the average Republican voter. That's why trans hate, Muslim hate, Asian hate, black hate, WORKS in the republican party. You're never going to win the respect by coddle these people or their backwards ideas. You can only accept them if they reform.

  1862. Marjorie Greene's statement wasn't anti-semitic either. It was just hyperbolic stupidity. It diminishes what people went through during the holocaust, but I wouldn't call it "anti-semitic". Similar to all the nonsense "slavery" comparisons that some right wingers made. All they're trying to do is pretend that they are some kind of victim when they're not.
    4
  1863. I disagree.... Not that I like Biden, but I think you're wrong on the politics. 1. Trump going on CNN was going to happen regardless. Condemning the townhall and Trump is how you use it to your advantage politically. AOC wasn't talking about Trump's ideas, she was talking about platforming a sexual predator. That message was what she was trying to get out. Not banning Trump from talking. 2. The election is over a year away. The polls today do not reflect the onslaught of trials and possible indictments that are going to happen nor when campaign ads start running. Relying on polls a year and a half away from the election is dumb. It sucks that the DNC isn't running more on a specific platform, but these trials will turn off the independents from Trump just like it did for Hillary Clinton. 3. Trump SUCKS at debating on policy. He may be good with the GOP because they don't have policies anyway and it's more about being an alpha. However Biden pretty much wiped the floor with him in the debates last time and Trump has nothing to run on this time around. Trump is going to come across as even more of a babbling mess and I think it's foolish to think that the Biden won't have responses to the nonsense that Trump has been spewing for years. 4. The media constantly falls in the trap of "this election is going to be the same as the last one" and it never is the case. You focusing only on Covid as the reason Trump lost is blinding you.

  1864. It looked like he was confused as to whether the button was indicating that the camera was on or off. Like he was thinking he had turned off the camera until he heard people laughing.

  1865. Pretty sure that stopping people in the middle of a river, doesn't prevent people from drowning, but rather makes it more likely that people will drown.

  1866. A lot of these are "it depends". A house cat could be harder to beat than a Cobra tbh. Most bites from a Cobra are survivable, if you don't get bit or survive the bite you can take down a snake pretty easily. It's not like they are that strong or anything. House cats are much faster and more agile than snakes and have more weapons. With a crocodile you have to ask what's the size of the crocodile because there are a lot of different types of crocodiles. Are we talking about a salt water croc? What is the environment? Water? Land with obstacles that a human can easily get around that would be harder for a crocodile? Ambush predators don't have much stamina so as long as you can avoid it's mouth you can get on top of it and take it out. However if it's a bigger species of croc then you wouldn't be strong enough to hold it down. Grizzly bear, lion, gorilla, elephant, etc. you have absolutely no chance....

  1867. It's easy to think social issues don't matter when it doesn't effect you. However African Americans being able to shop and live where they want was a pretty big deal in the 60's. Today it's a big deal for them not to get thrown in jail or shot for smoking a joint. Gays are able to marry who they want is a big deal to them. Women forced to carry a child they don't want is a pretty big deal to them to. So you're basically just saying "Hey I don't give a shit about anyone else"
    4
  1868. Cenk pretends as if CNN or NYT not mentioning campaign donations somehow leads people to believe anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-LGBT crap on Fox News. Guess what? Fox News ALSO doesn't mention campaign donations and the flood of donor money coming into Republican candidates. So this idea that mainstream media is somehow responsible for everything and makes propaganda more attractive is effing absurd. Establishment media has it's problems, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the constant fear and hate coming out of Fox News every single day.

  1869. If he targeted minorities, immigrants, synagogues, Mosques, or Sikhs as right wing terrorists have done many times in the past, then sure. A non-idiot would actually look at what the person was trying to do, not just his skin color.
    4
  1870. @Total Water No one ever suggested he targeted white people. So you're just lying in order to make a point. Kyle Rittenhouse bringing an AK-47 to a "political protest" and killing people at that "political protest" suggests a political motive. You would have to be the one of the dumbest people in the world to not understand how people could draw a political motivation from that Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't walking down the sidewalk by his house. He specifically went to a political protest to confront people there. You can't be that dumb as to not understand that.
    4
  1871. As a "US African", you sound pretty unintelligent and misinformed. Especially since you don't know that the "leftist" in this country were against the wars in the middle east as well as the wars for oil. The UK prime minister at the time Tony Blair, was completely on board for the war in Iraq, and was happy to work with Bush to manipulate people to be in favor of it.
    4
  1872. No, he's just another pathetic snowflake who can't handle minorities getting roles. No one was "racist" in the movie. The only racism comes from white male youtubers who think something has an agenda when they don't see white male faces everywhere they look. You would have to be a complete and total moron to not see Jeffery Write as a perfect casting for Jim Gordan and Catwoman was portrayed by a black woman all the way back in the 60's. People flipping out every time they see character portrayed by a different race or gender has always happened, but in recent years it has gotten completely out of control.

  1873. "The ones who were their and innocent were Trump supporters.".... "The ones who were their breaking and breaking stuff were Antifa"... 😂 "People should look into the people who burned down cities during the BLM protests" then 2 seconds later "I don't think anyone should look into people expressing their 1st amendment rights" 😂 Also I'm pretty sure the cities where BLM protests took place still exist. They weren't "burned down" lol...
    4
  1874. Which is worse... Lying about your background/personal life or lying about your positions for popularity like Tulisi constantly does? I'd argue it's the latter. Tulsi has absolutely no leg to stand on when she's got her own grift going.
    4
  1875.  @indymarrow8050  Prison reform was other people's issues. Trump didn't care about it until Kim Kardashian pleaded with him. Signing a bill doesn't give you the same credit as all the people who spent years fighting for that legislation nor doesn't it magically absolve Trump's fraud, abuse of power, obstruction, emoluments violations, or having tens of thousands of Americans die needlessly because he cared more about the stock market than saving lives..
    4
  1876. I have no idea what "outsider" you would support other than Bernie Cenk. The only outsiders are billionaire CEOs who have thrived with establishment politics. I don't know of a single "outsider" who has ever accomplished anything good in the history of this country in government. Trump & Reagan are the best examples of outsiders doing nothing but harm to this country. Also, the idea that someone with zero name recognition is going to be the Democratic nominee is pretty much a pipe dream.

  1877. When it comes to professional sports, let the league decide what they think is "fair" or not when it comes to a players biological sex. When it comes to public schools WTF cares.... It's a non-issue and even if it becomes an issue in one or two cases somewhere, then SO WHAT? It's just a "game" and I'm sure the school/kids can figure it out.

  1878. My guess is that they'll try to get Kyle to replace Jimmy.

  1879.  @adaminfinity1733  I pretty much agree with all of that. I hate to say it, but at this point people in this country are just prolonging the time before getting exposed. So, your choices are to be exposed while vaccinated, exposed again after already recovering from a prior infection, or taking your chances. Either way it's up to you. Of course, there's also the issue that hospitals can get overrun which can cause a lot of problems, but I think we've made a lot of progress in treating people. If it were up to me, I would enforce restrictions and mask wearing indoors (for adults only) for about 3 more months until after the winter when a lot of people are going to be indoors. Primarily to keep hospitals from getting overrun. Then after that I would say the pandemic is effectively over and we're just learning to live with a new virus.

  1880. Most police should be defunded and have that money put towards things that actually reduce crime. Arresting people isn't the only solution to reducing crime. The problem is that most politicians don't know how to do much else other than add to police budgets.

  1884. Republicans these days just respond to trolls and bullies, so before Trump looses support from any Republicans you need someone to walk up to Trump and punch him in the face (politically)... You can talk about how Trump is racist and an idiot all you want, the only thing they are going to react to is seeing that the bully is all talk and nothing else. They're not thinking about policy or issues, all they're doing is giggling in the back of the classroom.
    4
  1885. Jeez TYT... It's obvious that the reason for a higher percentage of Republicans against Congress trading stocks is the fact that the Democrats have been in charge of Congress and there have been multiple stories of Pelosi outperforming the stock market. If the Republicans were in charge, you would likely see a slightly lower percentage of Republicans wanting to ban stock trading and a slightly higher number from Democrats. I'm astounded that no one brought up that point. It is basic psychology... People are naturally protective of their "team".

  1890. Ana, I also don't want to see unattractive or old people in bathing suits. So what?.... Not sure what it is about a penis that is so offensive compared to other body parts, but I do agree with a discount for something atypical and unexpected that wasn't disclosed beforehand.
    4
  1891. I agree with Ana that the media is calling things out, but I also agree with Cenk that these lunatic ideas need to be confronted STRONGER. We can no longer stay silent while this lunacy is literally destroying our democracy. The tepid disagreement by the media is just being seen as "part of the conspiracy" by the crazies. The time for tepid disagreement is over when the barbarians are at the gates.

  1893. I don't really understand the issue. They wanted to see it first, but then they said they did not want to see their children's final moments. Either way, the story is much bigger than any one person and they can't expect people to sit on information that is vitally important to what is now a national discussion. It was probably incredibly agonizing to George Floyd's family and loved ones to see his final moments over and over on television, but they also knew it was vitally important to the country that those details were made public.
    4
  1894. Kyle you sound incredibly naïve here, like you were literally born yesterday. "Most Admired" is not the same as "The Best Policies" or "Most Decent Person". It never has been in the history of mankind.... You're so in your own bubble.

  1895.  Denise Higgins  Yeah I suspected that at first based on how it doesn't even look to fit where they are supposedly pulling it from and the other guy would have ran around the other side to support it a long time ago. Instead they just left it teetering on the edge for no reason.

  1896.  @ericp4573  Nearly all other developed countries have some form of single payer or socialized medicine. We're the only country where medical bills is the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy. You probably should research the bs you believe instead of just repeating it. Because the specific issue that the OP is referring to was caused by out of control capitalism by the healthcare industry and insurance companies. People in other countries aren't spending thousands for x-rays and they don't let people die who are too poor for treatment.
    4
  1897.  @SaintGerbilUK  1. Please show me where illegal immigrants are causing more crime. All studies show that they commit less crime than citizens. So that is a lie. 2. Please show me where illegal immigrants are consuming more in welfare than they are paying in taxes. 3. Given the fact that we have had illegal immigration in this country literally for many decades and right now that rate and total number has been lower over the past decade than it has been in previous years. Show me how this is "bringing down the country", as well as for Native Americans apparently.

  1898. So you're talking about a photo of Jordan Petersen yet talking about "Joe Rogan" for some reason? Huh? Sure, just pretend that TYT/Damage Report hasn't posted a slew of videos with "Joe Rogan" in the title in order to please the YT algorithm gods and elevate their own content... That's also an "incentive"... Krystal & Sagar just comment on the absurdity of the constant hyperbolic Joe Rogan coverage when it blows up in the media. Krystal doesn't just pretend that he's some right wing/q-anon/maga grifter every time he says something she doesn't like. When your criticism of someone is based on how other people praise them, then you're making pretty crappy arguments. It's like if I were to say: "Brett has been pretty funny and insightful lately" and then someone else says "As if no other idiot has ever been slightly funny or a bit insightful when figuring out things that other people should already know."
    4
  1899. I guess this is the last time we'll see Francesca on the Damage Report since Cenk decided to ban her as a contributor since she criticized him too much. She's one of many who have left TYT or been pushed out. John, you and Dr Richie is all that is worthwhile on this network. At some point you need to realize that you don't need TYT it is TYT that needs you.

  1901. Marjorie Greene is literally the woman in the Real Housewives cat meme... I've never seen such as petty, disgusting, hateful woman in all my life. Lauren Boebert is also really gross, but I get the impression that she's mainly lying, grifting, and acting in a way to put on a show for votes and attention whereas Marjorie Greene is truly hateful and sick.
    4
  1902. Sorry, but you have to be an idiot to want the corporate media to turn on her.... I've supported Bernie Sanders since before most people knew who he was, but I'm constantly amazed at the bullshit "purity tests" of the left. It's as if you would rather have Donald Trump get a second term and destroy the country than to vote for anyone who is less than pure.
    4
  1903. The idea of secretly tracking everybody in the country falls apart as soon as you ask: "and then what?...." People with extreme wealth already run the world. There is zero benefit in randomly "tracking" millions or billions of people. That is something a stupid person would think because it sounds scary to them. Bill Gates (or anyone with extreme wealth) would be far better off developing high tech surveillance equipment to listen in on a few dozen powerful people than billions of random people sitting on the toilet or playing video games.
    4
  1904. This was Tulsi's "I'm not a witch" moment.... "Regime change war"? What the hell are you talking about Tulsi? Is that all you can do is repeat "regime change war" over and over? Who says we are anywhere close to getting rid of Assad? Do you somehow think that Turkey wouldn't want to attack Kurds if the US wasn't there? Her response was completely nonsensical. She's just repeating a talking point.
    4
  1905. Most people in this country are Christian. So the idea that people don't know that not all Christians are bad is absurd. Trust me, they're going to be okay compared to most other religions in this country (Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, etc.) so you can stop crying already. 🙄

  1909. You sound like a crazy person.

  1910. Yeah because Trump's children never did "influence peddling" based on their name right? Almost everyone linked to power and celebrity uses their name to get ahead. We're supposed to believe that Megan McCain got a job on the View because she was so great at political analysis right?

  1915. Scott, there isn't any "research" to be done on anonymous writings on social media... Research is based on facts, data, or repeatable experiments NOT conjecture. If I told you that lizard people were real and to "go research it" all you would find is a bunch of stories where people take unrelated things and tie it into a cohesive story that concludes "lizard people". If you like the story and hear it enough, eventually you start to believe it. However it doesn't make the story true. This is no different than a religion. People want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. This is all just human psychology and people projecting their hopes and fears onto something imaginary. Just like in the past it was aliens, ghosts, elves, witches, mermaids, trolls, etc. Humans have always created stories/fantasies to explain their world. Which is why all of these conspiracies usually involve Satanist and/or pedophiles, because that's what a large part of society today sees as "evil". I don't watch much TV news anymore. However the fact that many people such as yourself believe anonymous stories that people make up on the internet over broadcast news is quite frightening.... TV/Cable news might have some bias, but they are not openly lying to you like the president does daily. One day you'll realize that Qanon is total bullshit. Probably a prank that simply took advantage of the fact that conspiracy minded people like to make shit up on the internet

  1916. And the CIA overthrew their democratically elected leader in the 50s and installed a dictator. What's your point?

  1917. Furthermore the US signed a nuclear deal and decided to renege on that deal and apply sanctions. It's amazing how people can look at a map and see how the US is involved in a country halfway across the world and pretend that they are somehow the aggressors. As if we haven't been sending troops and meddling in that region for many decades. Iran isn't attacking us in Canada...

  1918. Right wing mindset: "Let me substitute your wokeness for my own version of wokeness" "Let me substitute your science for my own conspiracies and beliefs" It's never about truth, it's all about authoritarianism and control.

  1919. It is perfectly okay to celebrate seeing someone's hypocrisy on full display... Dave Rubin spent years pretending that "the left" was intolerant while sucking up and pretending to be friends with people who openly said they wouldn't even go to his house for a "party" because he was gay.

  1922. Though I wonder how lawn dart injuries compared to swimming pool injuries at the time? 🤔 Because today there are literally thousands of deaths from swimming pools every year and thousands more injuries from kids and adults slipping and hurting themselves in and around pools. Yet I don't seen anyone calling for a swimming pool ban... In hindsight this looks like an irrational targeting of a single kind of recreation. I hate to say it, but it seems like the dad went on a crusade because he felt guilty over what happened and needed to fix it somehow.

  1930. Ana, first off making fossil fuel companies suffer isn't going to magically fix all of our climate and environmental problems. You really need to get out the mindset that somehow only the fossil fuel companies will need to change and everyone else can just relax.... Sorry, but EVERYONE will need to change their behavior to some degree. Secondly you have over 11,000 athletes attending the games. That's 11,000 sets of furniture that will be created and discarded afterwards. So yeah people should be thinking about the environmental impacts of that.
    4
  1931. Wait a minute TYT... They simply showed concern over who Trump was listening to, Putin vs his own intelligence agencies. In this clip they never said ANYTHING about being pro war or not. Should someone take a clip of you being concerned about Putin's influence over Trump and pretend that it makes you pro war? Just because the mainstream media is your main competition you shouldn't make broad generalizations like that.

The French government doesn't want you to know there in a secret war between aliens and lizard people.

  1941. I need more data on this.... Just like how the right wing demonizes trans medical care for children with parental consent. I don't want to make the same mistake here and assume that all marriages of people under 18 with parental consent are with pedo-rapists.... That is a pretty big assumption and if you're going to make that claim you should come with some information to back it up.

  1943. Ana pretends as if Conservatives won't turn around and claim she snacks on baby parts and that the left is "evil" without a single care in the world. The reality is if a majority of Republican voters still support Trump after 6 years of thousands of lies, criminal behavior, and a history of lawsuits then you can make the generalization that the republican party doesn't care about lies or crime. The reality is they don't care about crime that gives them power. They only care about the crime that they can associate to minorities and immigrants.
    4
  1944. The problem with most conservatives is that they only understand taxes from a basic self centered perspective. 1. It's a LOT easier for someone making 500K to live off of 250K versus someone making 50K toi scrape by on 25K. They're definately not going to be able to afford the luxury of a nannie... 2. When you support the middle class you benefit the ENTIRE ECOMOMY. You also benefit youself because more people will be able to afford the shit you're selling.

  1945. 06:30 Pretty sure firing a random news lady isn't worse for race relations than a POTUS going on a bigoted rant every week for years... The lady shouldn't have been fired, but that point didn't make sense one bit. Secondly, why is there this automatic assumption that the management at news station in Mississippi is on "the left"? Who exactly on "the left" is happy that this person got fired? It is more likely a $$$ decision rather than a political one.

If you're going to pretend that wanting to build radios in her state is the same as wanting to go to war in Iran, then I'm sorry that is a nonsense absolutist viewpoint. Whereas Tulsi saying that "maybe torture is a good idea" as late as 2014 is a bit more specific and a lot more questionable.

  1952.  @liljes34  No, but even if it were true what does that have to do with the hearing? Again, I see no benefit in paying members of congress to call each other names and sling accusations back and forth while not doing their job in a hearing. There needs to be some actual substance to what they do. We should expect results not quips or "sick burns".

  1953. Funny how the right wing pretends they're concerned with "evidence" when multiple women come forward with sexual assault allegations, but any time there's a bombing or a mass shooting it's "OMG FALSE FLAG!

  1954. 1. You can't say that these platforms are important for speech while at the same time be unconcerned with foreign governments using those platforms to manipulate people. The fact that a foreign government can't invest in political campaign yet can invest millions of dollars on a Facebook campaign to accomplish the same thing, should be concerning. 2. How do you expect to be able sue a foreign government for libel, defamation, etc.? 3. When you say that Facebook should be regulated as a public utility you do realize that you're giving the government even more power over that company than they already have? They could just as easily pass laws to squelch free speech and they can enforce licensing requirements for people like you on YouTube. Every person who posts on Facebook could be required to be registered and licensed in order to do so.... These are questions should be asked, but you're pretending that the solution is simple when it isn't....

  1957. Pretty sad political motivations. You really have to question whether you're a good person or not if your only goal is to cause other's pain to make yourself feel better.

  1958.  @buckmurdock2500  Every Republican has taxed or screwed over the middle class in favor of the rich and/or corporate sponsors. I'm well aware that there are many corrupt Democrats. I don't take BS from anyone no matter their label, nor would I use dumb catch phrases like "socialism" as an argument for anything.

  1959. Yeah one is a self made man who literally held this country together and freed millions of people who were enslaved. The other is a spoiled egomaniac who inherited his daddy's money and businesses. Unfortunately his supporters bow down to him simply for being rich.

  1961. The truly scary part is whether Trump is purposely trying to start a war with North Korea in order to improve is approval ratings and delay his investigation because who would want to hold a trial in the middle of a war?....

  1962. Ana/Cenk... It literally provides zero benefit for AOC to bash Obama for not codifying Roe 12 years ago. Go after today's corporate democrats, sure, but AOC is not a pundit like you... For her to go back into the past and bash Obama and complain how he wasn't LBJ or FDR only has downsides when she's trying to hold onto the House for the midterms. And she's right, in the past there were many "pro-life democrats" who used the protection of Roe v Wade to run in more conservative areas. The Democratic party tried to be a "big tent party", but it cannot be that anymore. It has to force a progressive wave, but unfortunately, it's going to take time to build up a progressive coalition.
    4
  1963. The election is a year and a half away and you're already dividing the party. This "I'm with her" bullshit instead of focusing on polices is what gave us Trump... I support Warren because of her POLICIES, but it's also the reason I support Bernie Sanders. People like you are dragging the party down and will cause us to lose. Blaming Bernie for Hillary's failure is not going to win anyone 2020, sorry.

  1964. There have been audits and then people turn around and deny the outcome of those audits. People literally don't care about facts and truth anymore.

  1965.  @Flannel535  Examples?.... I get that's the implication, but they haven't provided anything about she's supposedly doing. I would need to see a pattern of behavior like we've seen from Jimmy, Glen, Dave Rubin, and others for years. I can't just blindly put her in that category because they say so. Attacking other progressives is counterproductive unless you have overwhelming evidence. I would hope it's more than "she said something I didn't like once"
    4
  1966.  @bayking408  Yeah I've watched her on the hill here and there and I really didn't see anything completely egregious. Certainly not anything anywhere close to what I've seen form Glen Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, and of course Dave Rubin. I just hope this isn't based on some kind of personal purity test where a person says one or two things Cenk doesn't like and suddenly they get put into a category. As far as I can tell she seems to always argue for progressive policies.

  1967. Most countries where you think that guns are banned don't really have a gun ban. They're just heavily regulated to the point where most citizens don't bother to go through the process of getting one. They treat them like the deadly weapons that they are rather than a recreational activity to feel cool. When the country takes these weapons seriously so do the people. We don't complain that Ricin, Anthrax, or Plutonium aren't easily available. People have been conditioned to understand that these things are dangerous. Whereas people think of guns as "fun" and "freedom".

  1969.  @saturnanomaly951  You're wrong. Google: "Bernie Sanders Slams Democrats". Just because Sander's doesn't burn bridges, doesn't mean he doesn't speak the truth. You people need to realize that Sanders cannot pass bill by himself. Yelling at people might be satisfying for you, but it doesn't exactly get shit done. Trump has been yelling and trolling people for 4 years and has almost nothing to show for it.

  1971. Your comment is the very definition of "false equivalence"... Antifa has never killed anyone. Meanwhile we've had 13 people dead and several people who have had bombs mailed to them. The reason you people always go back to "Antifa" is because you literally have nothing else. In case you can't figure it out, damaging property or getting into a shoving match is not the same as killing people....

  1973. She's qualified in the same way that Trump was qualified to star in "The Apprentice" after he went bankrupt 6 times... Creating successful businesses wasn't the point of the show, just like having fact based political commentary isn't the point of "The View".
    4
  1974. Love TYT, but their technical ignorance is painful..... 1. Recording an image that you're looking at isn't really the same as "reading your mind". It's reading what your brain does when processing an image. Which is not anywhere close to reading a thought or idea. 2. You do realize that EEG requires a device on your head to work right?

  1975.  @scoutregiment4701  Where is your evidence for Tulsi changing her mind in 2005? Did she make a public statement then? Support gay rights in some way? You have a 16 year old being a world advocate for climate change meanwhile you expect me to somehow give credit to 30 year old Tulsi for finally coming around AFTER most people in her party supported gay rights? How is that good judgement? How is that leadership? Do you honestly expect ME to consider someone a leader when they came to the right answer a decade or two after I did? Seriously? Even Obama was in favor of same sex marriages in 1996 although he wavered somewhat later on. Furthermore you're confusing "mercilessness vengeance" with people not believing or trusting a politician. Just as people didn't believe Clinton or when Trump suddenly found Jesus... I'll answer any question you have as long as it's not a straw man.

  1985. It is amazing that people actually support a whiny child who can't admit to losing... Clinton conceded the next day even though she won the popular vote.

  1986. We just need to ban parties... All they do is give people a meaningless label or “brand” to vote for. like all brands they’re nothing more than corporate advertising campaigns. The founders knew the danger of “factions” in government. Parties just make the electorate focus on logos and tribalism instead of actual issues. It completely dumbs down our discourse.

  1987. Caring about subs more than facts/truth makes you easily manipulated. MSM has bigger ratings so everything they say must be true right?
    4
  1988. What is the "issue" exactly? It's not crime because immigrants commit less crime (as a rate) than citizens. The fact that a crime happened has nothing to do with immigration, because crimes are committed by all sorts of people. There are processing issues with cases on asylum, etc. taking too long. We certainly can't snap our fingers and get rid of undocumented immigrants, even if we could our entire agricultural industry would collapse. The problem is that often times when people talk about an "Immigration issue" they're simply talking about disliking foreigners and xenophobia.

  1990. Not like I care for Pelosi, but the fact that Pelosi has ice cream in her fridge means absolutely nothing to me. Obviously James Corden was trying to get her to do something for TV and there's not exactly many entertainment options when you're an 80 year old in your home.

  1993. NAACP doesn't have authority to create or enforce state laws... The NAACP has as much authority as Skittles telling you to "taste the rainbow" So to compare an advisory from a private organization to the statements from a Senator or potential president is silly. So yes that "both sides-ing" was kind of dumb.
    4
  1994. Mental health is the root of all violent behavior, but people only talk about mental health when the attacker is WHITE.... Anyone who isn't white just gets lumped into whatever group they might be vaguely associated to. Muslim, Radical Islam, ISIS, BLM, Blacks, Illegal Immigrant, Middle Eastern, etc. these are the groups people try to use when people are not white. Being white gives you the benefit of being looked at as a human being with issues instead of just an "other".

Why are you shoving your bigotry on everyone else? You're no different than the racists in the 60's being upset over black people being allowed to go to the same restaurants.

  2010. SilverAbsol 1.  You had no argument so there was nothing to respond to.  I respond to my own arguments not things you make up. 2.  So in other words you're just imagining cheaper method without providing a single thing to back it up.  Furthermore you're comparing the justice system of a gulf state with the justice system of the US.  You just said earlier it wasn't even valid to compare the US and Europe and yet you're trying to use a completely different justice system, culture, and economy that is far more removed form western society to compare costs?  Your logic lacks any consistency. We've literally had centuries of the death penalty in this country to understand what the costs are and in most cases it is far more expensive than life in prison.  I've also provided you links to this information.  So we don't need your imagination to understand the costs. 3. Being a Canadian you seem to have no problems making assumptions about gulf states and monarchy governments that you know little about.  Qatar has a similar murder rate to Canada and the US with the death penalty has a MUCH higher murder rate than Canada and we're right next to one another.  So you clearly have no idea what you're talking about here. You've somehow got it into your head that the death penalty is this magic deterrent, but you haven't actually done any research have you? Again, there are specific socioeconomic factors that lead to crime violence and even mental illness.  It is well known that poverty and dense populations lead to more crime and violence.   This is why there is more crime in cities, especially in poor cities. Honduras is one of the most poorest countries in the western hemisphere.  THAT is why there is more violence and murder.  Same with Brazil. Qatar, Kuwait, & UAE have the richest people (per capita) in the world.  THAT is why they have low murder rates.  Get it?  It has nothing to do with the death penalty AT ALL.... The idea that someone in the middle of a crime is going to at first sit around and analyze the pros and cons about the death penalty, life behind bars, or any other punishment is absurd.   The only thing on people's mind during a crime is not getting caught and sometimes not even that.

  2011. Running a business is a social contract which implies that you will provide a good or service in the publics interest in exchange for certain legal protections, enforceable contracts a court system, an entire monetary system that allows you to accumulate profit. A business is not a vehicle for you to discriminate against people you don't like. Furthermore if you think being a Christian is about discriminating against others and treating people unfairly then you're doing it wrong... Point out ANYWHERE in the bible where Jesus advocated discrimination. If anything he hated bankers and rich people, bit where is your outrage and discrimination over that?

  2012. If you think the protests during MLK's time were nice and peaceful then you're pretty ignorant to that time. No, there was lots of violence from the police and even some from the protesters and like today police and politicians lumped the violent and non-violent ones together and called them all criminals.

  2013. GothicIntellect Did I call you white or black? Nope... "You people" referring to people who make assumptions about a movements present and past that you don't know anything about. As I went on to explain. I don't care what your race is. I care about your backwards ideas. BLM has two websites so you can educate yourself on exactly what they are asking for. Instead of making up your own narrative. Again, the deaths specifically protested this year have little to nothing to do with resistance. As well as the statistics that are plain to see. You could educate yourself on these things instead of making up your own narrative. There are more white people in this country. Of course more would be shot. Do you not know how percentages work? Guess what? pretty much all the cops killed this year where killed by white people with guns. Black on Black crime is just as prevalent as White on White crime, Hispanic on Hispanic crime, and Asian on Asian crime. You know why? You know what the big fucking secret is? Because people of the same race typically live near each other and criminals attack people near them not the next town over. However you've clearly been fooled into an ignorant and racist narrative that wants you to believe that this is somehow unique to black people. It isn't. Look at the fucking statistics. Again, MLK was investigated by the FBI and he was accused of inciting violence. Again, people like you who made the same assumptions about MLK in the 60s as you are with BLM today. You assume they are violent when there are hundreds (if not thousands) of peaceful protests. Of course they have cameras on all the time, but if it bleeds it leads right? That's why you only care about a chant from a year ago but you don't give a shit about the hundreds of peaceful protests.

  2014. Her views are obviously biased based on her and her families ties to the police. How many times has she gotten a pass or the beneift of the doubt because of her ties to the police? Every day black people don't get that card. I also thinks she's looking for a cushy job on Fox News as another token black person used to spout racist shit. Yes crime is a problem, crime in black neighborhoods is a huge problem. However that doesn't justify killing innocent people on the street. People don't deserve to die because of other people's crimes.

  2022. Sounds like someone is just jelly over Maddow.... For someone that introduces their own "word salad" for 6 minutes before you even get to the point of this entire segment you really don't have a leg to stand on Kyle. The tax returns were/are important because Trump clearly has something to hide there. No different than Hillary not releasing her Wall St speeches. Tax returns would show Trump's conflict of interests, who he owes money to, where he's hiding his money, how much money he actually makes vs. what he lies to his supporters about. It's about far more than just the money he paid in taxes. If you think that's the only issue then you're either not informed or don't care. Pretending that somehow people are partisan simply because they want Trump to release his tax returns kind of makes you a "hack" , because it's a legitimate issue. There are conservative republicans who also wanted his tax returns to come out, just like democrats wanted Hillary to release her Wall St speeches. Stop putting people into these dumb ass mindless buckets. Otherwise you're just the Rush Limbaugh of the left.

  2027. Hillary disrespected herself and California when she reneged on her promise to debate Bernie in California in the first place.... Asserting that anything that could hurt Hillary politically is "sexist" is an insult to everyone's intelligence. Sorry, but your opponent for the democratic nomination debating the republican presumptive nominee WOULD hurt Hillary. It has nothing to do with her genitals is has to do with her opponent (Bernie) having the opportunity to essentially have the first general election debate before the convention. The optics would not be good for Hillary and her opponent would get a ton of press coverage. This is no different than how Ted Cruz took the spotlight after Trump decided not to show up for one of the debates. Which again had nothing to do with their genitals.

  2028. ***** Again you are conflating ideas. 1.  Humans also exhibit dominance and displays of worth for mating privileges. This is basic mating rituals which has absolutely nothing to do with markets.   2. Again you're conflating "subsistence" with market economies.  We have plenty enough food in this country. In fact 40% of the edible food in this country ends up in landfills...  We also have plenty of housing and shelter.  We also have plenty of water. The only scarcity for subsistence that exists today is what we have created artificially through markets.  3. A  "free market" is nothing more than a myth it has never existed in the history of mankind and it never will exist.  It is nothing more than a marketing slogan used to brainwash the masses into blinding following a simplistic "feel good" idea.

  2029. Assertive people are uncommon, but when they occur they are often men... I've known all kinds of smart, capable, and even assertive women in the workforce, but they are almost always meek when it comes to salary negotiation.

Trump calls for the explicit targeting families and civilians in the middle-east , yet you seem okay with that. Trump wants to bring back torture and expand it, yet you seem okay with that. Benghazi has been investigated 9 TIMES and no committee has ever found any wrong doing by Hillary. The fact that you still believe that bullshit makes you a low information voter.

  2040. Ana, I think you might be grossly wrong on the perception of the average middle class worker when they see a suit like Chuck Todd go after Sanders... Chuck Todd represents the establishment that Sanders is fighting against. It kind of works to his narrative to see the mainstream media against him while at the same time being called out on their bullshit. I hate to say it, but this is the "Trump Effect", the more you attack him the stronger he gets as long as he's able to get his message out which Sanders was able to do artfully over and over.

  2043. +rod dale Exactly, however I would put as black people should be mature enough to understand the context of something without being protected by professional activists. If someone made a joke assuming that I'm on welfare, uneducated, or a criminal simply because I'm black then to me that is 1000 times worse than a white kid wearing hip hop clothes calling himself a "gangsta nigga". The first can can get me arrested or denied a job, the second is just some kid being stupid. The reality is the few people in this country who actually use the "n word' as an insult are usually poor and pathetic. The only people still giving that word power are these activists who want to relive the pain of a period when we were subjugated by that word. I refuse to do so. I'll stand with the rappers, comedians, and white kids in suburbia who use it for entertainment rather than subjugation.

  2044. +EdWilde I wouldn't put it as being the "most oppressed". It's more like people become so hyper-focused on their own group that they miss the bigger picture. Sure as a black guy I've faced bias/oppression, but if I decide to fly on a plane I'm going to have a different experience from the TSA, employees, and other passengers than if I were Muslim or someone of middle-eastern decent flying on a plane. Or if I'm a white guy who just got out of jail or who's openly gay or going through a sex change I'm also going to have a completely different experience than other people. As you were implying with your comment, if we can find common cause with all forms of oppression it would be a powerful and unstoppable voice, because it would a voice heard by most people.

  2045. Djovan Henriques Was DWS biased? Of Course. Can you make and argument that there was some bias that led to some questionable choices to polling hours and maybe some of the counts in CA? Sure you can. What you CANNOT DO is pretend that any of that made a significant difference to the outcome. Clinton was far ahead in votes well before any of that. I've been a supporter of Bernie long before anyone even knew who the fuck he was, but there is support and then there is endless bitching.... Your endless bitching on a single issue is doing NOTHING but insuring that Trump stays in power. Sure I understand that people are tired of the establishment and Washington. The solution to that isn't cutting off your nose to spite your face. If your solution is to completely ignore the policies and only focus on "who feels more establishment", then you're fucking over yourself and you're fucking over this country. FDR was also completely establishment, but the people pushed him into the right direction.

  2046. Matt Olsen So the plan is to bitch about Hillary Clinton and the DNC for the next 3 years? How the fuck did that work out for you during the last election? You people are what allowed Trump to con his way into the white house because you spent the whole time bitching about a primary, HRC, emails, instead of talking about actual policies that were at least 10 times better than what is coming out of the Trump administration.

You would be a complete idiot to draft policy effecting millions of people based on "I know a guy".

However there is academic consensus of historians, historical record, and testimony from the people who actually ran those campaigns proving that the "Southern Strategy" existed.

  2071. Deez Nuts Again, reread my response.   It doesn’t matter that climate is a bigger factor for whether someone feels hot or cold and age is a bigger factor for how many more years a person will live what does matter is the specific impact of the thing you are testing for. You pretend as if scientist/researchers who spend their lives understanding how to test an hypothesis as well as the scientists/researchers which review the work of others (peer review) don’t know how to do that properly… Sorry, but some dude on a blog is no where near that caliber of study. Furthermore WE DO try to control the variables we can.  However poverty and population density are the biggest factors for violence.   Do you have a proposal to eliminate poverty in the next year or two?  Do you plan on forcibly relocating millions of people to lesson population density? As a society we can control weapons regulation and could immediately save many lives by doing so.  Yes lots of people have tried eliminate poverty but that's been going on for decades.

People seem to not realize that plants communicate with each other, defend themselves, hunt, etc. Just because plant life is very alien to our own doesn't make its existence any less valid. Just because mammals are more similar to our biology doesn't make them more worthy. However that seems to be mindset of most vegans. They don't condemn a lion or a house cat for taking a life, because in their minds "animals don't know any better" so they can't be moral. It's a conceited point of view which basically says "Humans are the most important thing so killing anything similar to us is by definition, immoral".

  2076. Because it regulates commerce between many countries. A vote to exit is a vote to basically double the regulations that many companies will have to abide by to sell anything in or out of the UK.... You don't vote on every regulation created by regulatory agencies, they vote for people to appoint people to those agencies. Diving into every product and every safety measure is a technical thing not meant to be "democratic". Brexit was just based on fear and emotional reaction. The fact is the UK has benefited from the EU in many ways.

  2079. ***** First off I was talking about crime not homicide.  Secondly I guess the answer you're looking for is "Because Filipinos are genetically bred to kill less people" which of course is absurd. You can find countries with mostly Africans, Caucasians, Asians, etc. all with far lower homicide rates than the US. One major contributor to homicide rate is the population density (which is why Montana has a far lower homicide rate than NYC), along with number of firearms per capita, including inequality and poverty.

  2080. La Nausée If you seriously think that having a trial, representation, and due process, is the same as some guy saying "I think he did it" based on a rumor and then beating the shit out of that person or killing them. Then I think you have some serious issues. We had people who would get lynched based on little more than an accusation whether it was true or not and people beaten because they looked similar to someone else. If that's the kind of system you want to go to then I suggest moving to Somalia or Afghanistan and giving it a try.

  2084. ***** --"You know that those "ratings" are totally biased?" Based on what? Your beliefs? Your feelings? Sorry, but I cannot take you seriously with an answer like that. The problems is that people judge based on their feelings on candidates rather than the facts. The fact is Trump has had a long history of fraud, deception, racism, and documented illegality with his businesses that was largely ignored. Clinton has only had the perception of inappropriate behavior and without proof or evidence people Meanwhile people got fooled by a con man and since then Trump has systematically let Big Oil & Wall St pretty much take over the government with his appointments.

  2085. If Trump was great a business you would easily find quotes from other successful businessmen praising his success, but you don't.... In fact you find nothing but ridicule and scorn for how horrible Trump is at business and people question whether he is even worth billions. That not something people say about Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, etc. because they are the real deal not charlatans. Trump is only impressive to people who don't know any better. They see a rich guy and automatically assume that just because they are rich they must be some great intellect. The reality is Trump was lucky enough to be born in a rich influential family and get millions of dollars in inheritance.

  2086. ***** You made a huge a non sequitur between "quantifying resources" and the fact that organisms need resources to survive.  One does not rely on the other.... The fact is animals, especially human animals, do not need money to survive, we've simply created a system and environment where it is impossible for people to survive without it. Furthermore money is an abstract representation of wealth, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with quantifying resources....  Money simply represents our perception of "value" at any given point.  The fact that a cellphone costs $800 when it's released and then $99 a year later has absolutely nothing to do with resources.  The entire FIRE economy (Financial, Insurance, Real Estate) where a great percentage of the wealth is created has absolutely nothing to do with resources.  The sudden rise and fall of the price of gold and many other commodities has absolutely nothing to do with the actual resource. Because we have this abstraction rather than a REAL representation of resources, it allows for things like rampant pollution, factory farming and other unsustainable farming techniques (example: the Dust Bowl from 30s), mountain top removal mining, millions of tons of edible food ending up in landfills while people starve, islands of garbage the size of Texas floating in our oceans, celebrities getting paid millions of dollars for being attractive and popular. Furthermore out of  the need for money comes the all powerful "profit motive" which is the root of all corruption.  Humans are trained to covet money (an abstraction) as the most important thing in this world and when you live in a society where having money is more important then how you acquired it then it's not surprising that people make moral trade offs to get it.

  2087. Of course there are issues with Clinton, at the same time CK is right in that a lot of progressive millennials are whiny bitches. Yeah Hillary voted for the Iraq Resolution, but guess what? SO DID THE VAST MAJORITY OF CONGRESS. Which was why it passed. You act as if the Bush administration didn't wage a propaganda war against congress and the american people at the time. The fact is 72% OF AMERICANS WERE IN FAVOR OF THE WAR at the time according to polling. So technically she was following the democratic will of the people. You act as if somehow Hillary personally waged the war and the aftermath instead of the Bush administration. Yes people like Bernie and Ron Paul voted against it. However that was clearly few and far between. It is possible for people to vote based on other issues besides the Iraq War and Wall St speeches. There are literally DOZENS of issues out there that Hillary is pretty good on. However none of that gets covered here.

  2090. I don't say it often but... I'm with Ana. Being concerned about some random person that you're imagining could be masturbating on the internet is just as bad as people who ban gay marriage because they can't stop imagining gay sex. Seriously WHO CARES what people "might" think or imagine based on a naked baby picture? If the first thing you think about is someone else's possible sexual urges then that makes you a pervert IMO. The only people who are going to molest a kid are people who have actual access to that kid, which is usually a friend or family member.

  2091. Kyle.... There are far more more issues than the Iraq Resolution vote and the TPP..... And I think if you got passed your bullshit purity tests you could actually come around to tepidly supporting Hillary Clinton. Like Michael I supported Bernie Sanders for president years BEFORE he ran for president. It's sad to see that many of the new Bernie Sanders supporters who jumped on the bandwagon have become whiny little bitches.... They got a taste of something good and pure and suddenly if someone does pass that purity test they are shit. Why? Because all they can do is focus on those differences between Hillary and Bernie while they ignore the 80-90% similarities. You pretend to care about the policy substance however 95% of your videos are not on policy they are on possible hints of corruption that is unsubstantiated and unproven. You have spent very little time talking about policies or the differences between Trump's policies and Hillary's policies. Obama supports the TPP and didn't flip on gay marriage until recently yet somehow you can be nuanced with his positions and don't go around saying that you "hate" him.... Why is that? MOST OF CONGRESS voted for the Iraq resolution, which is why it passed. But you leave out the fact that the Bush Administration lied to everyone and that many voting for the resolution weren't wanting war, just leverage against Saddam. However in your mind voting for the Iraq Resolution is the same as the Bush Administration waging the war indefinitely and having NO PLAN, torture, gitmo, etc. it's not. Those are things the BUSH ADMINISTRATION ended up fucking up with that authorization from congress. This all comes form a point that Bernie made against Hillary during the primary and that Trump jumped on and suddenly a vote from 14 years ago is the most important things in 2016?..... You're being fucking led by the nose. You also leave out the MANY positions in which Hillary is actually pretty good on. As if the only policies in this election are the Iraq vote and TPP.... I totally agree with Michael. I hated that Bernie didn't win, but there are some positive things about Hillary that I can actually get behind. And like Bernie I will do everything I can to push her in the right direction instead of just focusing everything I dislike about her.

She wanted to use her blackberry in meetings, got some IT people to help her with that which meant a private server and apparently it wasn't secure. It's not like grandma is a cybersecurity expert or anything. She just wanted to use her blackberry. However because of that the right and the left have blown it up into some crazy conspiracy. Nothing classified was ever leaked. She's simply being chastised for conveying classified information in an non-secure way. Everyone hates her for handling classified information insecurely yet those same people are perfectly okay with classified information being leaked from Wikileaks and don't even question where the classified information came from or why it was leaked. It is a very weird mass hysteria going on right now.

  2096. Saying that the police "aren't doing dick" and implying that it's because of "political correctness" or "tolerance" is extremely dumb and disingenuous. The french police have been busting there asses trying to deal with thousands of refugees that are concentrated there. The place cannot sustain the people who are there and every once in awhile the French police will go in and destroy a camp because of a lot of political pressure to get rid of it. However that's making the problem worse as resources are scarce and people are getting desperate. Many go hungry every day, there is no sanitation, etc. Many are desperate to get to the UK in order to make a life for themselves and reunite with their families.

  2098. Matt Schwartz You're making a complete false equivalence... Having a lot of one ethnicity in one country is not the same as basing a country on a race or religion.  If your answer to apartheid South Africa was "well technically they have more black people here", then you would be clearly missing the point....  Israel is labeled as a "Jewish state" with laws specifically for Jewish people regardless of whether they are actually Israeli or not. Having any kind of policy like this is divisive, racist, and completely unsustainable.  All it does is foster deep seated hatred among "groups".  True democracy is secular and agnostic to your ethnic background.

  2100. Trump supporters have a problem with the media covering Trump's FBI investigation even though Trump has had at least two people working for his campaign who received money from Russia. His former campaign manager actually worked as a Russian agent against the Ukraine government and yet those same Trump supporters had NO PROBLEMS with the media covering Hillary Clinton's FBI investigation into her email server in which they found NOTHING. Why? because they're fucking hypocrites. They're not straight talkers. They're mindless cheerleaders who lie to us and themselves. If Clinton was president and she fired the FBI director because he wouldn't stop investigating her campaign or her foundation they would be losing their shit right now, but since it's their "dear leader" then it must not be true. Fucking hypocrites.

My point was and still is that people like you and Jordan were willing to spend MONTHS drooling over nothing but circumstantial evidence when it came to HRC however when it comes to Trump and Russia ties, where the circumstantial evidence is FAR GREATER, he sits on his hands and doesn't do shit, all because Clinton's campaign brought it up.... Sorry but that is not acceptable from ANYONE who calls himself a journalist. Yeah Jordan spent weeks going over those leaked emails and what did he find? Well when it came to HRC herself, he found DICK, he found SQUAT. At most he found MORE CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE... What Donna Brazil did was wrong, but honestly who gives a shit about her. Other than someone losing their job It wasn't some huge story, at all. Meanwhile we have the most powerful man in the world systematically screwing over this country and possibly the world and Jordan's sitting on his ass acting high and mighty not doing dick about it. All the cases, convictions, and fines I brought up regarding Trump were real, the reason why you're ignorant about it is because you've had HRC's emails up your ass for so long.

Rejecting Trump NOW and rejecting his entire agenda NOW is much more important than going back 30 years and arguing about fucking Reagan.

I even donated to Ron Paul's presidential campaign, mostly because despite some of his flawed views he was the most reasonable guy in the republican party at the time. No I don't need anything from Sanders.  I just know that many of his his polices have a proven record to be a net benefit in places like Iceland, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Japan, South Korea, etc.   Most people just don't do research so they're just ignorant to this fact. Understand that the entire human condition is based on community.   Families, villages, towns, cities, countries, etc.  There is no point to even develop language without society. Every great achievement in human history has come out of the societies and governments that we've built.   If you think you will be happy just focusing on yourself then you were told a lie.

Trayvon was in his own neighborhood. It was NOT George's property. They were both in someone else's backyard when the fight broke out. Why the hell would you assume that it had anything to do with George's property? George decided to play vigilante, started a fight he couldn't win, and ended up killing an innocent kid simply because he was getting his ass kicked. Period.

Sure we would like to live in a world where an abortion was always available, but the reality is we don't.

  2125. Easier said than done Kyle, let's leave the easy bullshit answers to Trump and his followers. Keep it real, it's not like ISIS isn't killing thousands of civilians as well and you would have to be an idiot to believe that the hangings, shootings, mass graves are going to stop just because the US is not involved. That said I do think the US involvement should be questioned, but lets not pretend that the easy answer is to do nothing while thousands of civilians are slaughtered. Let's also not pretend that Assad wasn't slaughtering thousands of his own citizens along with ISIS. There are no easy answers here. Anyone who makes that claim is only bullshitting you.

Oh I see, so in other words what ended slavery wasn't the activism (abolitionists ,underground railroad, etc.), laws (emancipation proclamation, 14th amendment, etc.).    It was all because of  pixies and fairy dust right? Markets CREATED slavery Genius...  The sole reason it existed for hundreds of years and lasted so long in the South was because it was profitable and part core industry there.  The same reason why large profitable companies like Wal-Mart & McDonalds pay their employees shit wages today. Yet they have people like you believing in pixies and fairy dust, because they've bombard you with propaganda dumbing down economics and business into meaningless slogans.   The only person that needs to think for themselves here is you...

  2135. Elem Oki Gun laws do result in reduced gun deaths and overall homicides. This has been demonstrated in Australia, Japan, UK, and even in this country when we highly restricted the sales of machine guns with the National Firearms Act. Which dramatically reduced machine gun deaths. So to imply that gun laws have no effect is simply not true.

  2137. ianharwood Ummm... WTF are you talking about? There are literally dozens of scandals surrounding Trump. Hillary has nowhere near the number of scandals that Trump has. There is even a Wikipedia page dedicated to all the lawsuits and scandals that Trump has been involved in over the years. The only reason why people are unaware of this is because they only know about is the stuff that came from wikileaks. Do you somehow think that there wouldn't be a bunch of bombshells if emails were leaked from the RNC and Trump's campaign? OF COURSE THERE WOULD BE, but the fact is they sat on it and didn't release it.

  2138. Eventually people need to realize that all forms of factory farming are bad and unsustainable including the factory farming of plants. Monocrops that include miles of corn, wheat, etc. is completely unnatural and not how these things are supposed to grow, yet we've somehow we support this yet condemn it when animals are treated in the same way. SUSTAINABILITY should be the main focus not plant vs animal. In reality we need to change our heavy machine based farming methods and change over to permaculture, aquaculture, and other sustainable farming methods which rely on natural symbiosis between plants AND animals.

  2139. The Post Office facilitated communications and commerce in this country for over two centuries.... To say it was all a bad idea because it's suddenly having problems is like saying your parents should have gotten an abortion because you got a C in a history class.  Government corruption is based purely on market forces.  What you call "corruption" are corporations and individuals using the government to profit themselves.

  2140. L St. A. So basically you're saying that it's okay to lie to the american people as long as it makes his wife feel good about her husband's death?... Sorry, but the fact is HE DID die for nothing. 30 civilians and an 8 year old girl ALSO died for nothing and those people weren't even given a nice speech and platitudes, because the reality is we don't give a shit when it comes to killing brown people in this country. The only person trying to makw his death be about something is his father who wants an investigation into the TRUTH of what happened so that this shit doesn't happen again. One widow having a happy moment doesn't somehow justify the deaths of 30 others and the incompetence of allowing this to happen in the first place.

  2141. The reason why Hillary straddles the edge between being really moderate and really progressive is the same reason why republicans have straddled the edge between moderate and conservative/racist it's BECAUSE IT WORKS... At least it did in the past. This gave the ability for people to pick and choose whatever they wanted to believe based on vague bullshit answers. This is exactly how Obama got elected. The problem now is that people are sick of the bullshit and you have people like Bernie who can represent a clear contrast between something real and something bullshit and there's no coming back from that.

  2143. No, the race was over a long time ago Kyle. It's just that you guys in the media always look for the "horse race". I called it before the RNC that Hillary was going to win. She may be a flawed candidate, but the bottom line is her campaign knows what it's doing and Trump has shown repeatedly that his campaign doesn't know WTF he's doing. Do you think they didn't know this was coming? Do you think they don't have more? I would be surprised if you didn't see another Trump scandal magically appear before the next debate.

No different than a baseball game or a concert Being associated to a racist and a failing Trump brand isn't good for business. If it were about corruption they wouldn't care what he says because they would still want to buy off all those other politicians at the convention.

  2150. They're both right.... Hillary wouldn't have lost if it wasn't for Comey making an announcement like that 10 days before an election, not to mention the obvious attempts to manipulate the election through wikileaks. At the same time time it wouldn't have been a close contest in the first place if Hillary had tapped into what Bernie had tapped into.
    3
  2151. Alex Perruci However the polls took a clear shift after that announcement and took the focus off of Trump's sex scandals which was causing his numbers to plummet right before that. So I don't think you can pretend as if it had no effect. Especially at the extremely slim margins that Trump won by.

  2153. edith bunker 1. Clinton didn't acknowledge the rights for gays to marry until a couple years ago and let's not forget that she supported her husband on DOMA. 2. Because of her ties to Wall St, she flipped specifically on the bankruptcy bill right after Elisabeth Warren spoke to her about it and explained how important it was, 3. Let's not forget her line on "super predators" and her support for harsher sentences in minority communities that landed a lot of young black men in jail. 4. Let's not forget her support of TPP. Up until a few months ago she was backing TPP, NAFTA, and a lot of trade deals that has shipped away american jobs and decimated the minority communities in places like Detroit and Flint. I don't agree with a lot of the hysterical "Hillary Hate" that's going on right now, but don't expect me to blindly support a candidate who clearly is not perfect on a lot of issues and don't expect me to take you seriously if you're not acknowledging those issues. Capitalizing "ALWAYS" doesn't make something true. Not by a long shot.

  2154. I've always been huge supporter for Bernie Sanders, but it seems like in your mind it's okay for you and others to be "cozy" with Bernie Sanders meanwhile it's some kind of huge scandal for other people to be "cozy" with the Clinton campaign. Seems rather hypocritical to me...

  2155. Cenk is blaming everyone except for the MORONS who believed that a self proclaimed billionaire who has spent his entire life in lawsuits, scams, bigotry, misogyny and sexual assaults suddenly cares about the working class.... I don't blame Hillary for wanting to be the first woman president. I don't blame the democratic party for being in a bubble and thinking that Trump would implode. I BLAME THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY VOTED for that buffoon. I blame Fox News for brainwashing those people into voting against their interests and pretending that having bad IT and a less than secure email server is the same as treason. I also blame our undemocratic Electoral College that allows the person with the least votes to win.

Joseph F  If you think the story is ONLY about a white guy shooting a black guy and that is all you know or care about knowing, then you are a racist.  However people who care about substance see a story about a flawed justice system in FL, the impact of stand your ground laws, and the fact that there are people who defend the act of a man shooting an unarmed teenager simply because of the shooter and victim's race.

You're doing nothing but justifying your hatred of Hillary when this may have absolutely nothing to do with her.

  2160. Honestly you probably have more to worry about from perverts, criminals, and mentally disturbed people using drones than law enforcement... All developments in technology come with a price. At least with the police we can  enact legislation at some point to stop behavior we're uncomfortable with, but turning every incident where the police use a drone into something "scary" is a bit fear mongering.

Probably, but I could say that about myself too.

  2172. I had an argument for nearly a month online with a religious friend of mine because I said that abortion was at best vague in the Bible and that considering something a "child" and a life at conception is a fairly recent development. The amount of hoops she was jumping through in order to try and prove something that just isn't in the Bible was amazing... Her response to "Numbers" was that it involved a Rabbi and religious ceremony and it was God who was choosing whether the baby was aborted or not which is different than man choosing. Apparently it's only okay if God kills the baby 🙄

  2173. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, & TYT ALL engage in "outrage porn".... Cenk & Ana are literally screaming about issues every other day, half of that is screaming about "the media" constantly. However it would be silly to pretend that Biden's biggest lies are anywhere close to Trump's biggest lies. Trump literally lied about a hurricane possibly hitting Alabama and used a sharpie to alter a weather map to make it look like he was telling the truth. If any normal president did that it would be the end of their political career.

  2174. I know you're trying to reach out to right wingers Cenk, but there are no such thing as "free markets".... You don't ask the government to protect people from getting screwed over by companies colluding with one another and making people miserable for profit and call it a "free market". Markets are just games we create. We can decide to make those games benefit the most people or benefit only a few.

  2178.  @kristenungstad3252  A lot of things "Could" happen. However I have yet to hear of a single case of it actually happening. I doubt when she sold the egg she was setting out to hurt people. Yet people want to pretend that just because something "could" happen it must be negligent and dangerous. You also could get salmonella from buying sprouts at the grocery store. Many people have been hospitalized and even killed from salmonella over the years. However I have yet to hear anyone calling people who sell and using sprouts on sandwiches as negligent or "dangerous". However simply the idea that jade is porous makes Gwyneth a bad person somehow. Even though no one has ever gotten sick from it. Sorry, but I just don't get it... To me it just sounds like people looking for excuses to hate on her.

Sorry Cenk, but TYT has REPEATEDLY made the claim or at the very least suggested that vaccinations stop covid transmission, and that unvaccinated people transmitted the virus far more, when that was never the case. I know because every time you said it I was here trying to correct you on that point. So, Joe is correct in suggesting that most of the media was pushing this narrative that vaccinations stop transmission. It was also used as justification for many of the mandates.

  2183. Also this is no different than the Orlando bar shooting where the guy had homosexual tendencies and decided to go shoot up a gay bar.... At the time the right wing tried to tie that to Muslim extremists. This is no different than what you guys are doing now trying desperately to tie this shooting to a racial hate crime. How about we just wait for the actual motivations and evidence to come out before immediately jumping to conclusions based on the "identities" involved?

  2185.  @FastdounutTV  You can make the same argument about ending the life of a plant. In case you didn't realize it plants are lifeforms too and most of the plants we consume can't live without some form of animal biological activity. As a substitute for animals industrial farms rely on oil in the form of petrochemicals to create fertilizers and pesticides made to kill the animals that would eat the lettuce that goes on your sandwich.... Never mind the TRILLIONS of other animals that also get killed by the same pesticides even though they don't care about your lettuce. All life forms are on a pedestal as far as I'm concerned and all life should be respected in different ways. That's what indigenous populations learned over time and that's what we should learn too. This idea of being "moral" when we only care about the warm fuzzy animals being killed Is just being conceited. It is based on the belief that our form of life is the only thing of value. We ignore the billions of animals killed by our own pets because in our minds we just think we're better and "more evolved" than other animals simply for having a brain that is slightly more complex in one area. But other animals killing other animals is fine, because they're just dumb right? The reality is all life consumes other life, that's the way it has always been for billions of years. Even humans are consumed by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and numerous parasites even though we've mostly figured out how to protect ourselves from larger animals.

  2187. First off, You’re assuming relational data model which Facebook is certainly not. Also an integer would be far too small to be used as a key for that kind of dataset. Secondly they use cookies for authentication not your IP. Lastly, yes any service you access online must store and access data. It isn’t magic.

  2188. Will Wright It’s a primary key for a relational database which Facebook doesn’t use. It’s a big data platform. Secondly an integer is too small to be used as a key on a database with billions of records. Lastly you’re confusing “sessions” and “cookies”......

  2189. Will Wright 1. Umm... When did I ever say that MySQL was new? 2. SQL is a language for relational databases. Again, facebooks data IS NOT relational. They do not use SQL to access data, they use a a custom implementation of Map Reduce to query their data and other custom algorithms. 3. Dude, I understand what a primary key is. You seem to not understand that you cannot use an integer as a key for a row set that exceeds 2 billion records... 4. Again a cookie has does not maintain a “connection”. You need to get a basic understanding of what Cookies are because you clearly don’t understand them at all.

However, libertarians are like children who don't understand what actually went into the society that we all benefit from. They don't understand how "free market societies" didn't magically spring up spontaneously all over the world and only exist in the minds of people who live in developed societies that are only "developed" because of the stable government that regulates it.

  2206. So what do you want guys? Words on TV? Is that what will make you happy? Because the reality is Manchin and Sinema don't care if the bills pass or not. Also Sinema NEVER gave a red line. Her stance on not taxing the rich came from leaks and Biden, not from her. The only choice for progressives is to: 1. Kill the entire bill and wage a war against the establishment of your own party for the next few years and hope you survive it. 2. Accept the weak bill and join in with the propaganda talking about how great it is. 3. Accept the weak bill and spend the next few years talking about how you failed.

  2208. Ana, the reason you believe people think you are fighting with Tulsi and Emma is because you have a lot of dudes with hard ons for those two women, so they take any disagreement as some kind of personal attack. It doesn't have anything to do with misogyny. That said I do think two women on the ticket would give too much ammunition for Fox News and Trump to tear them apart. Trump has no problems being a misogynist and Fox News would have no problems dipping into that well to justify his disgusting attacks. We need to delegitmize them first.

Meanwhile speculating that something "might be racism" triggers just white men who somehow think that they are being personally attacked.. Can you actually differentiate those two things? Probably not... You're probably under some weird delusion that white men, who control every aspect of government, religion, and private industry in this country are somehow oppressed and that somehow your hurt feelings when we talk about racism is the same as other people getting shot and killed.

  2213. Please Jimmy... I get really sick of these dumb non-sequitur arguments. So just because one Jewish democratic senator, who has always been pro-Israel, is pushing for Jerusalem to be a Jewish capital it means that Hillary Clinton as president would also be just be a dumb as Trump on diplomacy? So all democrats think the same on every subject right? I guess this means that Hillary Clinton also wants a border wall, a Muslim ban, and to dismantle Obamacare too right? I've got many problems with Chuck Schumer, but I've got more problems with you creating these straw man arguments under the guise of being ultra "progressive". It isn't "progressive" to throw nuance out the window and pretend everyone is the same in order to justify your original nonsense arguments about Trump.

  2216.  @LionMartell  Again, there were far more crashes and "panics" before the Fed than afterwards. There's no doubt that the Fed has always worked in the interest of the wealthy, but you're making the wrong argument here. The biggest weapon is money, the more money in the hands of a few people, the worse it is for everyone else. The founders never put a "check and balance" against money/wealth, but that is the main engine of influence and control in our society. Money controls the courts, the laws passed, and the countries we attack. Government can only act based on the forces that act upon it. Corruption is the influence of money and profit, Democracy is the influence of people. Unchecked corruption is not going to save us or the planet.

  2218.  @lennardkahn6379  LOL.... First off we don't even know if Trump is a "billionaire" because he won't release his tax returns. Secondly he made his money by inheriting hundreds of millions from his daddy, then after he bankrupted himself several times. NBC basically bailed him out by creating The Apprentice show. They literally built another office for him because his existing one was completely run down. Then afterwards Trump sold his name as a brand to real-estate development companies. No one trusted him to actually run anything because he was incompetent, but his name had marketing value for awhile because of the NBC show and his constant self promotion.

  2222.  @nwagner643  In other words you have no plan to get anything. Except to just complain about shit we already know about... Surprise Surprise. Sitting around and bitching doesn't accomplish anything. I'm sorry if reality is inconvenient for you, but a half measure is better than no measure when those are the only choices you have in front of you. If you want a different choice then you advocate for those choices when you have the opportunity to do so, but the cost of your inaction is the difference between literal life and death for some people who don't have the luxury of sitting around letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is why Sam despises you people.

  2223.  @nwagner643  Your inaction is the same as having thousands of people die. It doesn't matter what you "want", no one can snap their fingers and get Medicare for All. However if the choice before you is to improve healthcare or do nothing and you chose to do nothing you are effectively giving more leverage to people who could care less about 40,000 people who die in the system. Do you not get that? Yes and Trump escalated those bombings and bragged about selling weapons to the Saudis so they can do a genocide in Yemen. Under Obama/Biden we entered into a peace deal with Iran. Trump ripped up that deal and proceeded to hire people like Jon Bolton who promptly tried to start a war with Iran. Never mind the coup attempt in Venezuela. We were on the verge or open war with Iran multiple times during the Trump administration and we assassinated one of their top leaders. Understand that Trump and Israel are doing everything they can RIGHT NOW to prevent Biden from reentering a peace deal with Iran. A nuclear scientist was just assassinated and Trump has been asking about doing another Iran strike before he leaves office. Do you understand how war with Iran will make everything else look like a cakewalk in comparison? Yes the choices we have are not great, but THERE ARE CHOICES.... If you just sit around complaining and ignoring the choices we have, while having no plan of your own, then you're not really helpful to anybody. You're just a warm body that feeds the machine.

Do you laugh at the thousands who died in Puerto Rico because Trump wasn't really serious about providing real aid to them? Do you laugh at all the shootings and bombings that have happened all over the country because this president glorifies violence and constantly treats his opposition as "enemies" of the country? Sorry but we don't think this shit is a joke.

  2227. There are two phenomena that people need to understand. 1. People often don't pay attention to issues that don't affect them. I have an Asian friend who voted for Trump. He spent years complaining about white privilege in the workplace, but he completely ignored or didn't take seriously the hate and xenophobia that Trump was spewing against other immigrants. It took a couple years before he realized that the xenophobia Trump displayed against other people could also apply towards Asian people. 2. Just because someone votes a certain way doesn't mean they are aware of, or are voting for, all the bad things that person says or did. For example, voting for Biden doesn't mean you're okay with disproportionately imprisoning black people and voting for Obama doesn't mean you were in favor of drone strikes. However all too often we present people as caricatures and pretend that anyone who voted for a politician are in favor of all the worse things that politician stands for.

  2228. Cool story, but the reason it's a stereotype is because there's an actual basis for it. You can't tell me that a rich, powerful, or famous dudes don't have an advantage and don't often use that advantage to date younger women... Sure you never know what someone's relationship is really like (and who cares really), but let's not pretend that a certain dynamic doesn't exist just because it's not ALWAYS the case. I'm sure dudes (like Rush Limbaugh) spending time with young prostitutes in 3rd world countries aren't a thing either right? because everything is nice and equal in the world right? Jeff Epstein and Harvey Weinstein were all just having equal consenting relationships right? I'm sorry that people judge your relationship wrongly, but can you honestly say that the weird looks you might get occasionally are that bad compared to people who are being sexually exploited in this country every single day?

Most of the world needs access to these vaccines but all these companies care about is making a quick buck off of 1st world countries who have far more money to spend...

  2235. ​ @hrs2044  If you make derogatory comments purposely meant to demean another race then no it's not okay. Again it seems like you have trouble understanding what racism really is. Black barbers cut black hairstyles, and most of those hairstyles (for men) include some kind of fade, it's not somehow racist to say that that. However if you implied that only black people work at fast food restaurants or low income jobs then that would be derogatory and incorrect, just as it would be for Indian people or any race. If you think that mentioning race is somehow racism, then you're missing the point entirely. Minorities don't want people to ignore race, or differences is appearance or cultures, they just don't want to be oppressed by it. People really need to understand this difference otherwise we're not going to get anywhere.

  2237.  @JohnSmith-to5ow  If you think it's about "minor tweets", then you don't understand the issue. Saying she has always defended trans rights is gaslighting given the fact that she was doing the exact opposite. The trans community is deeply upset over this. A trans contributor who has been with them for a couple years quit over this. Half their online moderators quit over this and sent a letter. There's a reason why John, Francesca, & Emma all came out to support trans rights in opposition to what Ana & Cenk were saying. So for you to downplay it because "it doesn't effect me so no big deal right?" Is effing gross. If you don't care about other people's struggles or pain, then just shut up and get out the way. This is why MLK spoke about how the "white moderate" is more dangerous to a cause than the KKK. And in case you didn't realize it.

I remember when Meghan McCain used to be one of the few "reasonable ones" in the Republican Party, but like most conservatives her thought processes seems to have stopped 15 years ago in her teens. So she's okay with gay people, but all of her other positions are basically stuck with whatever her father would have supported. Now she is basically showing the world that she has that same entitled mindset inherent to a lot of Republicans, and she sounds "Trumpian" at times. I'm waiting for that moment when she decides to throw out all pretense of logic and facts and just says "fuck it!... Whatever I feel must be the truth!", "Fox News (or ONN) here I come!", because she seems to be headed down that path.

  2242. I think you're really overthinking it. First off this was not a "typical" election, not by a long shot... There were so many variables with how Covid which changed EVERYTHING with how people were voting, how candidates were campaigning, that you really cannot compare it to what pollsters would normally be working with. Furthermore Trump brings out the crazy vote... You have the racists, the people voting "against BLM" for some reason, the conspiracy folks, and the people who were just entertained by Trumps antics. In my mind the lesson isn't to ignore polls. The lesson is that 2020 was really f*cked up.

You can't hold people indefinitely and if you don't rehabilitate them or get them mental health, then more often than not they are worse when they leave.

The reality is if we started on the long term solutions a few years ago we would be in a much better place now.

  2253.  @grantburrell  The desire to create or innovate is completely separate from the desire to be rich... People often conflate those two things. There are millions of starving artists and people earning meager incomes in universities, or working off research grants specifically because they care more about creating and innovating over being rich. Often times being forced to work in a job 40-60 hours a week is precisely the reason why people have less time or desire to innovate. Especially when you have a family. The rich people in our world are mostly not thinkers or innovators (executive managers, hedge fund managers, etc.), they simply take existing ideas and labor and capitalize on it effectively. The real people taking "risks" are those who choose to persevere in spite of the pressures of the monetary system to acquire a stable income. The people who actually do that do so because they are more in love with their idea than being rich. The only reason why people need jobs to eat is because we decided to create a system that requires constant spending and consumerism to feed people. Meanwhile most of the food created in this country ends up in landfills while people starve.

  2255. This entire segment you talk about grifters, but don't actually show people grifting... If you're actually following the science then it says that natural immunity has about the same effectiveness as someone fully vaccinated Pfizer plus a booster, based on the latest findings. The number of people who have died from a secondary covid infection is practically zero. Yes, there is a reduced protection with Omicron, but it is nearly the same reduction in protection as someone fully vaccinated plus booster. Furthermore, even if you get infected your T-cells will still get activated and prevent hospitalization and death. So, if you think creating a law based on that fact is "grifting" then you have to ask yourself who is grifting here... Furthermore, you can prove natural immunity with previous positive test or a blood test. It really isn't that difficult. For most other viruses, prior infection gives a person immunity that is most of the time better than immunity through vaccination. It is AMAZING to me that TYT is so caught up in the culture war over vaccines that they don't realize that it is in the pharmaceutical company's best interest to sell more vaccinations, so of course they're going to ignore natural immunity. The reason why there is more "data" for vaccines is because it is in their best interest to fund more studies that are favorable to their product and most of these studies are using subjects that are recently vaccinated when antibodies and effectiveness are at their peak. After 2 months that effectiveness wanes considerably. Plus, you have to worry about "immune system fatigue", injecting people with boosters over and over is really not a long-term effective strategy.

However just standing on opposite sides from one another screaming or throwing tear gas isn't going to solve anything. Part of the reason that we're in this mess to begin with is that police are separate from the community and see civilians as combatants. If we don't connect on a human level with one another we're never going to solve anything.

  2275. It is possible to test milk for pathogens, just like all raw products. Just like when eating raw oysters or raw fish for sushi you have to take extra steps make sure the fish and the final product is fresh and free of pathogens. Of course there's a cost to that.... In the case of milk you have to make sure the cows and the milk they produce are also healthy and pathogen free. It's really not some crazy conspiracy if you just think it through. The government can also say "all fish and oysters must be cooked" for safety reasons. They could also say lettuce and sprouts must be cooked, raw fruits and vegetables have probably been the source of most e-coli and salmonella outbreaks in the country over the years. But no one is going to think you're crazy for eating raw sprouts or lettuce.

He did in fact claim that hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama then after he was called out by the NOAA he proceeded to modify a weather map with a sharpie to pretend he was right. Most politicians lie, but Biden or anyone does not lie anywhere CLOSE to the amount that Trump did. 30,000 lies are on record. He lied literally every single day and he was known for it.

Unfortunately instead of eliminating the effects of factions our entire government and political discourse is now entirely based on two factions.

She begrudgingly let him get one and probably no more than a week or two later a former roommate came to get some stuff he left there and she nearly shot him. Having a gun means you're preparing yourself to use one. Which means you're constantly mentally preparing yourself to kill people at a moments notice. People should just get a knife, sword, crossbow, pellet gun or anything that is less likely to kill instantly.

  2287. The "Mass Formation Psychosis" label can be applied to both the "Left" and "Right". Everyone is a victim of their bias, and everyone has been going crazy. On the Left, 1st it was "It doesn't matter if right wingers want to protect themselves" as Cenk said multiple times before and after the vaccines became available. Then it was "you must take the vaccine to protect the immunocompromised" which was completely made up and no study ever indicated that. Then it was "take the vaccine to stop the pandemic", which was never true under Delta because transmissibility was high regardless of vaccination status. Now with Omicron when a lot of vaccinated people are also getting sick and hospitalized, it's "the hospitalization rates" during the peak of the wave. All this year I've seen lots of people on the left and right trying to confirm their own bias and it's all been pretty ridiculous and I'm tired of it. Many on "the Left" have actually celebrated people losing their jobs because of vaccine mandates. There are LOTS of nuances to this issue however people have been getting in their "camps" for what they should believe and completely exaggerating what people like Malone and Rogan say. It has been nonstop absurdity everywhere.

Jon thinking that Rittenhouse was so deep into politics that he knows everything that Tucker or Trump as said or did is pretty presumptuous. If the former president invites you to hang out, most kids would say yes. If a famous fox news host invites you on, you're probably going to say yes as well. So thinking that he was savvy enough to know how he's being used is just projecting a culture war.

  2293. Ted Cruz is a cringe POS, but I give him a complete pass on this one. TYT seems to have no problems with Ana or Cenk making comments on how attractive people are in their commentary even though they're married. So I don't get why they would have a double standard for Ted Cruz. Just because he's married doesn't mean he loses the ability to notice that someone is attractive. It's unfortunate that Adrienne's commentary over the years has morphed into all attack with little substance. You should try to be more objective even when it comes to people you don't like.

When you say that "everything segregated is racist" without context or nuance then you don't really understand what racism is and how it actually damages minority groups. Which is why black colleges, churches, etc. are very segregated, but are not "racist" by default.

You can't control how sensitive people may be or what previous experiences people may have had. I knew a guy who thought it was okay to make racists jokes around the minorities he knew and didn't care whether it made people uncomfortable or not. You can be that guy or you can understand how certain things can come across to certain people.

  2301. 10:25 I don't know why Cenk keeps conveniently forgetting that Trump assassinated Soleimani on his way out of office... You may not know who was talking about war with Iran behind the scenes, but Trump assassinated one of the top leaders of the country and openly bragged about it which nearly started a war.

That's the dumb logic you're making here for a man who had his fake university and fake charity shut down for fraud. Sorry, but there isn't "more evidence" of democrats taking dozens boxes of top secret classified documents on nuclear weapons on their way out of office, storying them in a bathroom, waving classified documents in front of their friends, and refusing to give back for over a year and even then only giving back some of the documents and lying about the rest. You don't trust elections because a crook and a rapist told you not too and you blindly believed him. You look absolutely pathetic simping for this man. Stop being gullible, stop being manipulated by a con man to simply because he makes funny jokes on stage. He's not your friend, sheesh....

  2307. While you're desperately trying to be accommodating to Republican voters, you failed to mention the fact that the reason they turned on Jr is because he was not hating trans people. That's the core of what they are mad about. Those tweets you mentioned did not once talk about donor money or political corruption.... All they cared about was hating trans people. If you're not going to talk about the core of the issue and instead pivot to what you want to talk about instead then you're not really helping. One could argue that by doing that deflection you're actively providing cover for transphobia.

  2308. Sorry, but Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and shameless republican politicians like Bush, Trump and their spoke people are BY FAR more responsible for the Right wing mistrusting institutions. You're living in a fantasy if you think that CNN talking favorably about Medicare For All would suddenly cause the right wing to look at it favorably. Right wing media and pundits have thrived on mistrust of government. They have been lying about government since the 80's in order to support private interests, this isn't a new phenomena this is the result of DECADES of propaganda.

Imagine living in a world were you can't go to your local grocery store, restaurant, cafe, gas station, or even rent an apartment where you want because the business owners suddenly decided to refuse serve people they don't agree with. This is the exact situation that many black Americans were living in before civil rights. 2. A business is a special entity that is given legal protections and privileges by the government. So therefore it has to follow the rules and regulations set for it by the government.

  2321. You criticized Bernie constantly for not attacking enough and now you think it's a good strategy? What makes you think you won't get just as frustrated with Marianne not attacking enough? The fact is there is an ideology in the Republican voter that we do need to defeat. Specifically the bigotry and racism that Republican politicians use to get votes from their base. Anyone on "the left" needs to lead that through strength and be 100% clear on what the moral position is. They should NOT go around "both sides-ing" arguments to make the right feel better about themselves.

  2322. Tulsi has always been a religious authoritarian ever since she started in politics trying to outlaw homosexuality. She just pretended to not be for a while trying to make a name for herself in the democratic party, but every once in a while she would be pro-torture, anti-Muslim, and pro bombing Muslim countries just to remind you that she is still a conservative and a religious authoritarian. The problem is that the Left is concerned about "intellectual honesty" while the Right will make up anything they want to in order to support their beliefs. So you're never going to have a level playing field.

  2327. Also as far as the term "LatinX" is concerned. Just because a term is unknown or unpopular, doesn't automatically mean that the term is invalid. Just like the term "trans" or "non-binary" was something most Americans were unfamiliar with a few years ago, doesn't mean those terms are invalid and there were many people who did refer to themselves as "LatinX" and identified with that term. All you're doing is looking at polls to determine whether something is popular or not and making a moral judgement based on that.... That is incredibly myopic and short cited. It's no different than a politician putting their finger in the wind to figure out what policies they should run on.

  2328. In a recent interview with the Hamas leader he said something along the lines of: "Look if we had the capability to precisely hit military targets we would do so, but we really don't have that capability. Israel does have that capability and yet they still kill lots of civilians and children." If a terrorist was hiding out in the middle of Manhattan, do you think the US would drone strike a populated area? Of course not. The fact the US & Israel have no problems killing civilians as long as it's not THEIR civilians. The constitution doesn't distinguish between citizens and non citizens when it comes to "due process" yet we somehow pretend that it does.

  2356. Government should be used to protect people, not profits. Today's technology makes it easy to distribute and share content. Taxpayers shouldn't be spending billions to arrest and jail people for "sharing wrong", just so studios and media corporations can make a few extra bucks... It used to be pretty common for people used to share jokes with one another that they heard or read at school, at work, or when hanging out with friends. What if the government decided to make sharing and telling jokes illegal so they could keep profiting on a joke industry? Things like "parody" fall under "fair use" because it's in the best interest of the public to not enforce copyright laws in those cases. I think sharing content should fall under the same "fair use" and it is up to the business to figure out how to make things profitable.

It fits more into right wing thinking because it's tied to religion and cultural issues that don't actually achieve anything and are just designed to make people feel a certain way. However it has no place in trying to implement real policy or get benefits for people.

  2366.  @eatmorenachos  Vaccination does not stop transmission of the Coronavirus. This is not what the vaccines were designed to do. Studies clearly show that vaccinated people spread the virus almost as well as unvaccinated people especially if they were vaccinated over 2 months ago. The vaccines were never designed to protect the immunocompromised. These are nothing more than talking points that have been circulating for months. These talking points were never based on science and repeating them over and over is spreading misinformation. Protections to stop the spread (distance, masks, testing, etc.) should have absolutely no bearing on whether you are vaccinated or not.

  2367. Deaths in New York are down.... Now... However, if you look at deaths per capita by state. NY hasn't exactly faired that well compared to the rest of the country. One could easily argue that the overall infections are down because NY already experienced the largest waves in the country so a large part of its population has already been infected with Covid.

  2368.  @ismeal231  Maybe. My point is that it's hard to make a blanket statement about why NY is doing well, now. A lot of states have gone through periods of low infections followed by spikes at different times. Especially when Emma was only quoting a single day of deaths which is misleading. During the past couple weeks Florida has had even fewer deaths than NY.

If that were the case then the Central Park 5 should sue Donald Trump for taking out a full page newspaper ads asking for their EXECUTION, when they were completely exonerated with DNA evidence years later. Even after they were found innocent, Trump still went on TV claiming they must be guilty. It would a apply to Fox News hosts defaming Democratic politicians every day. It would also apply to everyone denying the results of the election. If that's what you think I'm willing to take all sorts of people who lie all the time, but I don't think you would like the outcome when that happens.

However if it is a faked video, such as a fake movie trailer, or fake footage of a UFO landing, or faked celebrity video of some kind, people will have no idea whether it's fake or not. Usually the dislikes would immediately tell a person that something is wrong here. Now people will have no idea. So YouTube is opening the door to a lot of fake videos that will get watched and spread around the internet. Only the upvoted comments will tell you that something is wrong with it. Of course most people don't look at comments until AFTER they've watched the video.

As far as I'm concerned once we have a vaccine available to anyone who wants one then it becomes a personal responsibility problem. The only reason to have a "vaccine passport" is to force people into getting vaccinated sooner. That is really the ONLY reason to implement such a thing, so I wish people would just be honest about it. Also I hate to break it to you, but... BUSINESSES ARE NOT GOING TO CARE if people are vaccinated or not, because they're going to want as much businesses as possible. They are not going to shoot themselves in the foot by limiting the number of customers they have... They might care if their employees being vaccinated, but that's about it. So these fantasies about businesses turning away customers out of some kind of principle is not going to happen.... Also a "vaccine passport" is not the same as bringing a gun on a plane or something that is an obvious danger to people around you. It's more similar to forcing people to wear a helmet or a seatbelt.

  2403. The Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement will be proven 100% correct. Eventually we will move to a resource based economy instead of the current crap that is based on nothing more than infinite growth and exploitation. Unfortunately we're not going to be able to get there without a lot of pain, suffering, and death. Humans are highly adaptable, but they often only adapt to what's in front of them.

  2404. Because "replacement" means that the white population moved somewhere else. Do you not understand what the word "replacement" means? If you're upset at basic demographic shift, which happens all the time because humans migrate (just like the Europeans that migrated to the Americas) it means you have some sort of mental issues or are part of some mass hysteria.

  2406. Sorry Kyle, 10 different cases of obstruction isn't just "Whoopsy, did I obstruct?". Trump made it clear publicly and privately on NUMEROUS occasions that he wanted to end that investigation and he made numerous attempts to end and derail that investigation. When Trump found out that a special counsel was assigned his reaction was: "OMG... This is the end of my presidency... I'm Fucked..." If this was Hillary Clinton it would be "case closed" yet for some reason Trump ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt... Why is that?

  2407. If I was involved in meetings for 2 weeks with the CDC I would know enough to be able to answer these basic questions.

  2411.  @Anon54387  Sorry, but nothing in the ratifying of the constitution was about "personal self defense". It was about the power of the state in relation to the federal government. The founders never wanted a standing army and the militias at the time were used as fighting forces when needing a defense against Native American attacks, etc. and as a local police forces. The only thing silly is how the propaganda around the 2nd amendment has been left to fester for so many years. It was never created so that citizens can shoot government officials when they disagree with something.
    3
  2412.  @carldavis7309  Actually you're wrong. There were gun permits, regulations, and even outright bans on native Americans and black people from owning guns. Even people deemed mentally ill or dangerous were also banned from owning guns. So the idea that regulation is a recent idea is absurd. There were regulations even when the guns back then were nowhere near as deadly as guns are today.

  2414. Perhaps you should actually listen to the people who made the movie, instead of putting your ignorance on full display. The Matrix was a metaphor for a lot of things and a trans journey was one of them. The Wachowski's talked about this numerous times. One of the characters was even supposed to be trans (a man in the real world, but a woman once she went into the matrix), but the studio didn't allow it. The character's name was "Switch". Gee, I wonder why her name was "Switch"? 🤔 Also what exactly do you mean "historically"? Are you trying to pretend that trans people never existed in the past?

  2419. Tax the rich. No one is 1000x or 100,000x more intelligent or more capable than the average person yet somehow we pretend as if that is normal in society and how an economy should work. Don't get me started on speculators that produce nothing and just skim money from markets. A tiny bit of investment is good, but the vast majority of it is simple wealthy people sucking money from the value that workers created.

  2421.  @James--Parker  The key phrase there is "12 days after the booster dose". We already know that the vaccines wane after two months. So testing people a week or two after vaccination when their circulatory antibodies are at their highest is pretty flawed when most of the population got vaccinated many months ago.... Also we still don't know how long the boosters will last. That information will probably come out of Israel first. However I'm pretty sure the plan isn't to give people boosters every two weeks. The study I was referring to is titled: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK" It's from the same Lancet publication that Sam was quoting from. The problem is that people who are vaccinated are also less likely to get tested so you have no idea who could be a carrier. So spreading the idea that people who are vaccinated cant transmit the virus has only caused the the virus to spread more.

  2423. So I guess you think we should arrest Mike Pence then? Because Mike Pence did the responsible thing, just like Joe Biden. He looked to see if he had anything classified and promptly returned it. He didn't hoard boxes of classified documents, lie about it, spend over a year refusing to give them back, and wave them around his friends. But since you're an obvious political hack you somehow think that all crimes should be distributed equally amongst political parties instead of prosecuted based on what people actually did.

  2428. Ana, if you don't want to speculate then why have a talk show?.... What you're describing is called "news ". We used to have those on network TV that people used to watch. Then Fox News came along and messed things up for everyone. Just be clear that you're speculating.

  2429.  @dhollongstreet4725  No, those presidents didn't do that. Clinton took personal records, not classified documents. I suggest you actually look at what happened instead of just blindly believing con men who lie over and over in order to get away with their crimes or pretend they won elections. It only makes you look gullible.

  2434. Basically you're saying that people are stupid and gullible. No one knows what a billionaire talks like because they've never sat down and had a conversation with one. There are a lot of dumb rich people out there. However I'd also say that people have a tendency to think that "the grass is greener on the other side". When people are ready for change they will often throw logic out the window. They will suddenly think lack of experience, being a businessman, and being undiplomatic, are good things when there is zero evidence to support it.

  2435. Nice Fox New talking points, which came straight from the White House. 🙂 Trump is not within his rights to ask a foreign country to work with his personal lawyer (who isn't a government official) to look for dirt on his political opponents. There is zero evidence of any wrong doing by Biden. Yes his son got a high paying job and probably the main reason for that was because of his famous father, but the fact is Biden and other leaders pressured the Ukranian government to replace that prosecutor because he was corrupt. He was replaced for NOT investigating the company that Biden's son was working for.

  2436. Dude must have a brain aneurysm because he makes ZERO sense.... It required far more capital to start a business in the mid 20th century than it does now. The restaurant industry is probably largely unchanged (from a startup perspective) than it was back then because you still need lots of labor (cooks, waiters, dishwashers, etc) and a brick and motor building to do business. These days someone can get on kickstarter and fund a business for like 10 grand these days. That is unheard of in the restaurant industry where you need a several hundred grand (at least) to get something started.

Tulsi doesn't know what she really supports. Until she figures that out, there is no way I am going to support that woman for anything. She flipped on Medicare for All. Somehow she was on the fence on torture (WTF?). Despite being anti-war she complained that Obama wasn't bombing Syria enough. Furthermore she has trouble speaking up for the Kashmir people has support from the hindu nationalist Modi. Has trouble speaking up for Palestinians, yet has no problem voting against BDS to support. She regularly uses Republican talking points. Plus she never signed the progressive pledge.

  2439. Yup booster shots are total bull$hit... I'm 100% confident that the Pfizer and other pharmaceutical are behind the CDC suppressing the numerous studies which show that natural immunity is as good or better than ANY of vaccines. The rest of the world knows this but that information is suppressed in the US... Most of the world needs access to these vaccines but all these companies care about is making a quick buck off of 1st world countries who have far more money to spend...

  2440. 1. Omicron has severely reduced the efficacy of most masks and you're much safer during a flight when the air is filtered than you are on the ground in a terminal and during transit. The fact is Covid transmission on domestic flights has been few and far between during the pandemic. 2. Children have always been a low risk for severe outcomes for Covid. Using children as an excuse for politics is kind of gross if you ask me.

  2441. I would say being a coward drives people away more than anything else. The more you concede to evil and hatred the more leverage you give to evil and hateful people. The Democratic party needs to learn that you don't win anything by knowing what is right and not fighting for it. That might have been the case 30 years ago but you have to live in a cave to think that it is the case today. The only reason Trump became president is because he was perceived by independents as being willing to fight for something, people ignored all the decisive things he said and only focused on that. Yet Democrats are still stuck in this weak cowardly mindset where they think that politics is all about being reactionary instead of actually changing the conversation. As long as they do that they will constantly be either losers or just the alternative to something worse. FDR did not win elections over and over by being weak and cowardly.

  2442. I will die on the hill of The Last Jedi sucking huge blue balls and it has everything to do with how badly all the characters were written. Yes the cinematography was nice, but everything else was bad. The throne room scene had crap fight choreography where you had guards just standing around not attacking anyone. At least the prequels had actual great light saber fight choreography. Then totally ruining Luke's character arc from the previous trilogy? Rose prioritizing kissing someone in the middle of a battle? Holdo withholding information for no damn reason just to make the situation worse? Nah man... Star Wars is a lot more than "cool looking pew pew". Rian Johnson wasn't "trying new things" he was doing things to "subvert expectations" at the cost of well developed characters. Also, The rise of Skywalker was in response to the fact that they never had a plan for the trilogy to begin with. Though I did actually enjoy the very beginning of the Last Jedi, but everything after that suuuuuuuucked....

  2447. The action was totally right. TYT gives people like Jordan a platform. However he took advantage of that while making bad decisions personally and professionally that no manager should make. He let his ego get the best of him and made it more about "Jordan" than anything else. TYT can always get another Jordan, however they cant let a single man bring down TYT and the trust they've built with their audience.
    3
  2448. You're right, I have no idea what Jordan's been doing over he past several weeks. I suspect that the other issue is that he may have been spending more time on his "side business" while pretending to still work for TYT. I agree that power in anyone's hands can corrupt and eventually that can happen to TYT as well. However the fact is they've built a solid business being honest and speaking truth to power so I think their integrity will remain strong for quite a long time. It reminds me of the newspaper mentality from a few decades ago where integrity meant everything.

  2450. I hate defending Amazon, but this segment was kind of a mess... 1. I surely doubt there would be major security concerns on a proprietary network on a custom protocol from a company that already runs cloud infrastructure for most of the largest companies in the world.. I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing when it comes to security. 2. Creating new business models off of one's existing customers is what ALL businesses do. Even TYT... 3. It isn't "socializing losses". There are no losses and the government isn't involved. You might as well call internet ads "socializing losses" because it's making money off of users. 4. Amazon already has your private data... This isn't adding anything more to the vast amounts of data that Amazon already gathers on hundreds of millions of people. 5. It isn't Amazon's job to create public internet.... I have no idea what that has to do with anything.

  2453. It's stupid.  It's like saying that anyone who watches porn is automatically guilty of any fantasy in that porn. So if your porn fantasizes about sexual assault/misconduct, fake underaged girls (cheerleaders, etc.), any kind of incest, bondage, etc. then the government must automatically assume that any of those fantasies you watch you would also force upon total strangers in real life. In fact if you dress up on Halloween or do a cosplay of an evil character that's also incentivizing you to be evil so we should probably put you in jail just to be sure. Also Marijuana is a gateway drug, heavy metal music and video games cause you to go on shooting sprees, rock & roll music is the work of the devil, and many other moronic things that people have associated without a shred of scientific evidence.

  2454. I'm pretty sure Cory was being facetious/sarcastic right? Am I missing something? To me it seemed like he was saying that this would have no effect on the GOP running ads claiming that Dems want to defund the police. Also Emma is wrong on the politics, many polls have shown low support for "defund the police". It was always a bad slogan from the very beginning and I think we need to recognize that. It should should have been changed to "reform" or "restructure"

  2455. So basically as long as you get to keep your guns you're ok with people dying, got it. You really didn't need to go on a long monologue for something so simply. BTW, the countries that ban guns have more control over their government than we do. Those countries aren't an occupying force in dozens of countries around the world, they're not nearly as corrupt as our politicians, so you're basically selling yourself on a fantasy.

  2471.  Borko Borko  Sorry, but there is no such thing as a country where everyone thinks the same way. Humans just choose to focus on certain differences (such as religion and skin color) rather than others. It doesn't matter what culture you come from. Most people want to live in piece, make a living, have a place to live, find love, and raise a family, If people focused on that rather than thinking that everyone around them needs to look and talk the same then everyone would be in a much better place. Humans tend to "otherize" people. If it's not religion or ethnicity, then it'll be something else. The tendency is to attribute bad things to the "other team" and good things to "our team". We need to eliminate that backwards mindset not support or coddle it. You'll only support bigger and deadlier conflicts later on.

  2472. Also the current anti-establishment movement started with the Tea Party on the Right and the Occupy Movement on the Left. The idea that these trends only happened because of what a politician said during his campaign is entirely false. Trump coopted anti-establishment sentiment which is something that all politicians do. Rhetoric doesn't make you a populist and I think people make that mistake with Trump simply because he was atypical for a politician.

  2486. War sucks.... But I agree with the caller. We only have two choices, support Ukraine or not. It is entirely pointless for the US public to have a "conversation" about "Ukrainian borders" when the average citizen doesn't know or care about Ukrainian borders. Nor would having an open conversation about borders resolve any conflict here. The bottom line is Putin is going to take as much territory as he can get and Ukraine is going to keep as much as they can. Pretending that some fake media conversation is going to magically work towards peace is kind of naïve and usually Sam isn't this naïve. Nor is it helpful in any way to have an open conversation on whether we are willing nuke Moscow or not. We have elected representatives for a reason and that representation may not work out for things like Yemen and Iraq, but this is how it's supposed to work.

  2487. So you attack people who you think "might" do someone harm? You do understand that there is a stigma that black men face where everyone thinks they're going to harm someone. A white woman acting crazy and yelling at people gets soft treatment. At most someone might call the police if they start hitting someone. However if a black man just acts weird then suddenly preemptive attacks are justify. It's absurd and demoralizing.

By 2016 unauthorized immigration dropped to it's lowest point in 14 years.. A lot of those diplomatic relationships and aid were rolled back by the Trump administration and he became far more antagonistic to these countries. Not saying that Biden has been great on Immigration, but that's what he was referring to as far as a more holistic policy.

  2493. @Phil Mitchell Well Bernie didn't win the primary, so what are you going to do? Cry about it until the election? I really don't get what your strategy here is other than whining.

  2494. Well they're both wrong on one thing. You're probably less likely to spread Covid if you're vaccinated, but with the Delta variant how much less is still an open question. However the idea that you're protecting everyone if you're vaccinated is false. Masks are more effective than vaccination when it comes to slowing the spread the virus. Countries with much higher vaccination rates than the US also experienced similar spikes in infections.

  2495. Trump has the mentality of a child. Only a child would think that people signing an NDA means that they can never say anything mean about them

  2496. They do... Why do you think black women straighten their hair? Why do you think lot of black people use a different voice at work than they use at home? Why do you think Asian people change their names? Minorities do everything they can to bury their identity in order to get ahead in the workplace. It's amazing to me how ignorant people are to what other minorities go through on a daily bases in this country. But I'm sure it hurt you so very much to find out abut some random memo at a company you don't even work at right? 🙄

  2497.  @Mnorton1986  Saying you need a little education on a topic isn't an insult when you've demonstrated a lack of knowledge on it. However it has an easy to fix... You can look into the studies I'm referring to, have an honest conversation with any minorities you might know to get their perspective, watch some talks or documentaries on the topic. But don't be surprised if people dismiss what you're saying when all you're doing is crying about things you've heard on the internet from inside a political bubble. This isn't real life. There are real people with real problems in the world. Can fixing these racial and other discriminatory problems go too far in some cases? Sure, but it's still not a drop in the bucket compared to the problem itself. Also my name has an actual Chinese meaning other than the character on DB/DBZ.

  2499.  @TheMattMercy  Yup that was pretty much my understanding as well. If you look at the investigation by Mueller and compare it to Kenneth Starr's investigation of the Clinton's, it's like night and day... Mueller tied his own hands every step of the way, and was more concerned about being legally careful than exposing any evidence. The Democrats made the mistake of relying entirely on Mueller's findings rather than doing their own inquiries. So we ended up with this chicken and egg scenario where Mueller refused to directly accuse Trump of a crime and says that it's up to Congress to impeach, yet many in Congress refused to impeach because Trump was never accused of a crime...

  2502. Yeah the guy who pretended that Obama wasn't born in this country for years with no evidence is not being "racist". White supremacists are supporting Trump all over the country and dressing up like him and it has nothing to do with "racism"...

We live in a country were someone can buy a weapon that can kill dozens of people with minimal training.

  2505. Agree with Cenk 100%. Ana who are you to tell people what their passion is? Maybe this IS their passion and they're trying to build something for themselves by starting small. Taking out your entire irritation with "influencers" on these specific people is pretty silly. Yeah, 5000 is small compared to YOU, but people have to start somewhere, and you sound kind of elitist now that you have the following that you have. The restaurant owner could have just said "no thanks" just like we all do when solicited for stuff we're not interested in.

  2511. John is 100% right while Ana falling into the same trap of trying to be "objective" while falling for the same typical right wing bullshit. People on the Left want to be honest so we welcome investigations into people. However there are a lot of people on the Right who are completely dishonest and will regularly use that to their advantage. So we end up with Benghazi, Emails, Burisma, Russian Uranium and dozens and dozens of investigations that are just meant to smear at the end of the day. We give legitimacy to those issues because we're genuinely curious if there is anything there, but the average person isn't never going to know that these claims were debunked. All they know is what Right wing politicians say over and over. Which is why you still have people screaming Benghazi! when absolutely nothing came out of it.

  2513. No cookies for you TYT... Tragedies happen all over the world that we don't care about. It's also not our coast guard's job to go overseas to rescue people in Europe.... So the framing of this segment is a off. There isn't a boat that will drive to from Boston to Spain in order to rescue people, nor does it make sense for Canada to do that. Furthermore, the US press covers things that are interesting to a US audience, just like TYT does. People die in earthquakes, storms, and many other tragedies all over the world. Does TYT cover every single one of those stories? No they don't. 31 people were just killed in a gas explosion in Africa, 43,000 people died in a drought in Somalia last year. Are you covering that? If you want to cover tragedies involving migrants, then you should be covering OUR OWN BORDER where people die all the time trying to get to this country, instead you're making a superficial correlation between water related deaths and pretending you get points for that when they aren't related at all.
    3
  2514.  @heavyarms55  I wouldn't lump together Coast Guard with local policing. They're completely separate things. Unlike police they save a heck of o a lot more lives. Especially during natural disasters like hurricanes, etc. The saved like 30,000 people during hurricane Katrina. Every day they're going out saving people when people get lost and in trouble on the water. I would say they're more like a cross between fire fighters, boarder patrol, and life guards.

  2521. It's not a lie, because the effectiveness of natural immunity against reinfection has been studied numerous times. The problem is that the CDC selectively publishes certain studies that aren't even peer reviewed... The most obvious issue with the study is the fact that it was based on "Covid-like illnesses" which included things like "nausea"... Secondly it attempts to draw a conclusion with the broader population by only looking at hospitalized patients. Lastly it directly contradicts several much LARGER studies that say the opposite opposite about natural immunity. Such as: -"SARS-CoV-2 antibody-positivity protects against reinfection for at least seven months with 95% efficacy" -"Incidence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 infection among previously infected or vaccinated employees" -"Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals" All of these studies and more clearly indicate that natural immunity is as effective and sometimes more effective as vaccination. Furthermore it is shown than people who have had covid are more likely to have reactions to the vaccines. Being honest about natural immunity is not the same as telling people to go get infected with Covid.

  2522. Shouldn't you be saying "what about RFK?" since he's polling much higher than Marianne? I like Marianne's positions, however she's running a really shitty campaign.

  2524. Jimmy is full of shit... If you want to see examples of parties changing dramatically all you have to do is look at the republican and democratic states before and after the civil rights act and the South Strategy... Theodore Roosevelt was a republican and a progressive... So this idea that parties can't change is REDICULOUS. The only reason why we're talking about Bernie Sanders as the most popular politician in the country, and not Ralph Nader, is because Bernie Sanders did the smart thing by running within the democratic party... Ralph Nader literally did squat by running as a 3rd party, meanwhile because of Bernie Sanders over half the democratic party is talking about Medicare for All and free college education, and not taking PAC money... Ralph Nader even came out to give credit to Bernie Sanders for doing things the right way. We've had a 2 party system for nearly 200 years now and in all that time we've NEVER had a viable 3rd party.

  2527.  @rancidwraith3298  Well it certainly better than people dying in the streets, or entire neighborhoods burning down. There is no assumption on my part, it's called basic history. People like to pretend that society that they know and love was created by magic, because they were born never having to think about what keeps them safe and fed every day.... Societies were created through a hundreds of years of people dying and finding out what keeps people more people alive. Sure there can be better systems in the future, but those systems won't come out of a complete ignorance from where we came from.

  2528.  @rancidwraith3298  So do corporations. So do people. Hundreds of years of slavery, genocide, and colonialism for profit doesn't ring a bell? There are many groups of indigenous people who were completely wiped from existence because of this. We're talking at least a hundred million people. So what's your point? Again, your perspective is someone who grew up with all the benefits that you have today and then you pretend as if this all occurred through magic.

If Tucker Carlson honestly gave a shit about police brutality he would be talking about it instead of constantly talking about the "sideshow" Colin Kaepernick for daring to bring up the topic. Tucker Carlson made Kaepernick into a sideshow and now he pretends to care about police brutality? Spare me your bullshit Tucker.

  2532. The problem is they are adopting right wing framing and then attacking the left based on that framing. There is absolutely no need to adopt every right wing culture war narrative and then use that narrative to call your own supporters "stupid" and "selfish". Can you imagine if Trump or Sean Hannity did that?

  2533. I like how they're trying to blame Facebook when there isn't any indication that this guy got Qanon theories from Facebook... The "lizard people" thing has been around for literally decades, WAY before Qanon ever existed, and clearly this guy has mental issues. Even people who believe in lizard people aren't crazy enough to think that their own wife and children are lizard people and kill them... So clearly there is a lot more going on here than Qanon or social media. Furthermore all I can say is "be careful what you wish for" as far as having a team of people censoring what you say on the internet based on what they think is true or not. There are certain scientifically backed facts that you can disprove obvious claims, but when it comes to "conspiracies" what if you claim that a politician is influenced by donor money, is that also a "conspiracy"? It might be depending on who is doing the censoring.
    3
  2534.  @goodcitizenhatesyou  I've seen a lot of garbage on Facebook too, but I don't think anyone could be convinced by Facebook or anything to kill their own children like that. Besides I thought qanon was all about secret child pedophiles not lizard people? The lizard people thing is super old, based on a lot of nonsense that people like David Icke were spreading decades ago.

However just throwing your hands up and declaring everything over is really not helpful nor insightful.

  2542.  @LoporianIndustries  Perhaps one day, but not in our lifetime. The Matrix is a movie, and the reality is we are creatures of the natural world we evolved from. Replacing that with any form of virtual simulation is only a fleeting stimulation, a digital induced high, but it's not quality nor true happiness. It's the same reason why a real steak will always be better than protein patties or lab grown meat... At least in our lifetime.

  2543. I don't see it as "monstrous" at all quite honestly... Perhaps these kids will be better off having some real sense of what slavery was like and how it has shaped our society today instead of just looking at it in a text book. A fake auction, with fake chains is called PRETEND. Sheesh why do we have to think that every freaking thing is traumatizing to kids? Sorry, but intent does matter. I'm not going to pretend that there is no difference between someone who is racist and doing something out of racial superiority vs someone who isn't and doing something to educate. The only thing I would change is maybe take race out of it and make them wear arm bands or something else to distinguish them as long as they understood that this is something that happened to black people.

  2544. Keep in mind that even Biden beat Trump in the debates... Someone that is actually prepared can easily take down Trump. He's a paper tiger.

  2548. Simplistic hypotheticals are the reasons "libertarians" get duped. They hear what they think is "common sense" from an individual point of view but completely fail at grasping the big picture. The reality is that capitalism will always need to be kept in check and government is always needed to look out for the wellbeing of our society. Thinking that an aristocracy and more money to billionaires is healthy for ANY society is just the result of decades of brain washing.

  2549. If you cannot protect free speech when it makes you uncomfortable then you must not think it is really worth protecting. The "line" should be based on existing laws like: incitement of violence, death threats, hate speech, etc. Otherwise everything should be allowed. Being "comfortable" should not be a requirement for speech in a public forum like that.

  2550. I felt the same thing on their stance on the term "Latinx".... Just because a term isn't popular doesn't mean it's not a valid term for some people in a certain context. And it's been pretty frustrating that TYT doesn't actually get that. It doesn't mean you need to force terminology down people's throats. But to immediately dismissive of something that is beneficial to a minority, just because of poll or because right wingers might make fun of you, is "weak" IMO... It's honestly no different than what establishment Democrats have done on almost every issue for decades.

  2551.  @SAce-fo7pg  What "they" are you talking about exactly? As if groups of people are just a monolith.... If you're non-binary and of Latin American descent you probably don't want to be called Latino or Latina. However if you think all Latin American from every country and culture are exactly the same them sure... "They find it disrespectful" 🙄 If I called most Americans "trans" it would also be disrespectful, especially if I did that poll 20 years ago. It doesn't make the term itself invalid.

  2554. So, she's "anti-vaxx" simply for saying people should have a choice whether to vaccinate or not? It's pretty sad how you put people into camps simply for being against a mandate. There are lots of vaccinated people who are against vaccine mandates, yet you've given zero room for ANY nuance in this discussion. The fact that there are people calling her to be replaced and recast, and essentially lose her job, pretty much confirms what she was talking about. Progressives have no idea who much they've fed the flames of this culture war. The Right may be wrong on a lot of the science, but at least they haven't spent the past year defending people losing their jobs simply for not getting vaccinated. And yes, the federal policy wasn't a strict mandate for most companies, but it was a mandate for healthcare workers, and many companies used that policy as a pretense to create mandates that are far easier (cheaper) to enforce than weekly testing. This is literally no different than anti-abortion laws that don't directly ban abortion but make it difficult enough that abortion is effectively banned. And if you're following the science then EVERYONE should be tested not just unvaccinated people, because we've known for almost a year now that vaccinated people also transmit the virus, yet most policies don't reflect that reality.

  2555. Jeff Chang, I hope it is. However it took like 2 years of negotiating and planning before we got to an Iran Nuclear Deal. I just wish people understood the difference between getting a real concrete deal vs showboating in front of cameras. It reminds me of George Bush flying in on that air craft carrier declaring "mission accomplished". Many people knew that it wasn't as simple as that and we ended up being in Iraq for 8 more years.... In fact TYT spent years speaking out against the how the media and the administration were oversimplifying the Iraq War and after many years later they were proven right.... Now everyone simply takes for granted the idea that it was a mistake to go into Iraq. Completely forgetting that over 70% of the population was in favor of it at the time because they refused to look any deeper than what the administration was telling them.

  2557. Cenk & Ana.... The Delta variant started in India and first spread though countries THAT DO NOT HAVE A VACCINE or not enough vaccines. I'm not having a conversation about a country who has 66% or 80% (UK) of their adult population vaccinated while India with nearly a BILLION adults has only 4% of their population vaccinated. You're sitting here blaming local politics and overreacting to right wingers creating variant when the REAL problem is that a lot of countries have not been able to distribute a vaccine. As far as I'm concerned the real problem is no longer in countries like the US or UK. So we need to get our heads out of our collective asses and stop yelling at right wingers or left wing hippies and see what it takes to make sure these other counties can get a lot more of their populations vaccinated.

They would turn to be pro-war in a heartbeat. These are the people who were okay with war with North Korea when Trump was antagonizing Kim Jong Un and calling him "rocket man", then suddenly they turned around and became pro-peace when Trump decided to meat with Kim Jong Un. And as soon as tensions escalate with Iran you have people coming on here commenting how easy it would be to do a strike against Iran. These people have no real principles.

This has going on for about a year with Jimmy Dore. TYT now responding to it has nothing to do with being a victim. Jimmy has similar history with Francesca and Emma. Every young woman he's worked with has had a problem with the guy. It's an obvious pattern so I'm not surprised at all that this happened with Ana as well.

  2569.  @robotron17  Are you guys really that dumb to think that Omar voted to deny the Armenian genocide? Seriously? Are you really that stupid? If you cared about actual news you would know that her response was "Of course we should acknowledge the Genocide... I think we should demand accountability for human rights abuses consistently, not simply when it suits our political goals." She then went on to talk about how this is nothing more than a political vote and that we should acknowledge all genocides including that of the Native Americans and the Atlantic Slave Trade. So she voted "present", in other words she didn't participate in the vote. She didn't vote against it or deny it like you guys are lying about because all you do is get your marching orders from political hacks without doing a single bit of research yourself. Stop pretending you care about "news" when you don't.

  2572.  @original-australian_OG  You first need to make a reasonable argument before asking others to be "open minded". If you think being "replaced" is the same as small changes in demographics, then you don't understand the definition of the word "replaced" and you are the one who is too far gone... Also there are numerous studies & statistics clearly showing how minorities are discriminated against, killed, and imprisoned, for no other reason than their skin color. So you would have to provide some actual evidence of discrimination going the opposite direction, and your "feelings" because someone said something mean on the internet doesn't really count.

I know you're principled on this issue, but "saying" you want a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics is literally no different than saying you want money out of politics. What EXACTLY do you expect him to do differently than any other candidate calling for money out of politics? This isn't the same as Larry Lessig making it the exclusive focus of his campaign so that no one has a choice but to pay attention to it.

  2576.  @cattfink5036  Yup. the photo sharing was definitely a big problem, but it's a relationship/trust problem rather than a legal one. If she forgave him and they still got married, then it's none of our business. To your point, people can make bad relationship decisions when they are young, but they can just as easily make bad decisions with another 17-year-old as they could with a 50-year-old.

  2579. I don't say this often, but.... I could not agree more with Ana ..... I don't think Cenk understands this pressure at certain companies. I worked at a place where whenever people (employees, managers, etc.) were in town you would be pretty much expected to go to lunch with the "team" and/or go out to dinner after work on Friday's etc. Basically using your free time for BS company shmoozing. You could say "no", but it would be looked down upon heavily and it all goes towards your employee evaluation even if they pretend it doesn't Some companies put more emphasis on politics than the actual job and those places really suck. I also disagree that irrelevant "team building exercises" do squat for actual on the job performance. Instead just have people learn skills related to their job, as a group or team, instead of nonsense that makes some people feel good about themselves (temporarily) while others are uncomfortable and annoyed.

  2593. Honestly I think it's a good proposal... In my mind it changes discussion from a blanket ban "just because you're trans" to one where "unfairness" has to be evaluated and proven. If you simply force it on all schools then sure enough someone will find ONE example somewhere where it was unfair (like a recent trans girl joining a female wrestling team). That one example, that I'm sure Fox News will find, will be enough to make Biden look like an authoritarian who doesn't care about parents and their children.

If you can get into a luxury vehicle and sleep, work, watch TV, etc. all while traveling then there's less of a reason to take a flight or a private jet. Even if it takes half a day to get there you can spend most of that time sleeping in an overnight trip.

  2605. Argelis, how do you know he was using his coming out as a way to steer away from sexual assault? This is nothing more than an idea that people have pulled completely out of their ass... There isn't even evidence of an actual assault other than "he tried to get with me" when he was drunk and the guy said no and pushed him off. As if that hasn't happened a billion times with drunk people in the past year. It's not like he drugged and raped him like Cosby did or threaten their life and career if they didn't do sexual favors like Harvey Weinstein.

It's like we're supposed to hate him because he has privilege and doesn't talk about his privilege enough. Yeah he's not going to ask his brother tough embarrassing questions, so what? If one of Same's comedian friends that he jokes with on his show from time to time were suddenly embroiled in a scandal would Sam bring them on his show in order to ask touch embarrassing questions? I doubt it. I would doubt it even more if it were a family member. It is what it is... I don't think the guy should lose his job over his privilege.

  2608. I like how you're taking Trump's talking points and pretending it's a real story. First off millions of people in this country make money off their name... celebrates, most people in Hollywood, even a lot of corporates executives wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for who they know. That's the problem with capitalism. As if any of Trump kids or Megan McCain would be in the positions they are in if it weren't for nepotism. Secondly Burisma was a HOLDING COMPANY.... I guess people don't know how holding companies work, but it's not like Hunter would be telling people were to go drill for oil... Holding companies basically own shares in other companies. So it would be far more involved with legal and financial issues than actual "energy". Hunter Biden ran a few financial firms before getting involved with Burisma. Not to say that he wasn't hired because of his name or his connections, but It's not like the guy had no experience what so ever. When a bakery needs an accountant it's not like the look for an accountant who has baking experience....

There's no point in looking weak to your own people for a guy who is only going to be in office for like another year.

Did you even see what the North Korean media were reporting on these talks? Let me fill you in, it was nothing to do with denuclearizing, nor was it flowers and rainbows. You people are so brainwashed to be US centric that you believe that everything "bad" comes from the US and US media and that everyone else really wants peace. Yeah this country has done some bad shit, but there is a whole other side of bad shit in North Korea and if you actually think they were ever once serious about denuclearizing you're completely naïve.

  2628. Ana... There's a difference between a "fluff piece" an a serious story. Obviously the segments with his brother were fluff pieces meant to entertain and not to be taken seriously. However you can't expect him to investigate a scandal involving his own brother in the same way, obviously he can't be objective. Just like you can't be objective if there was a scandal involving Cenk or Jon. Francesca is right about nepotism, but that nepotism exists EVERYWHERE. Whether it's on cable news, politics, Hollywood, a bar or restaurant, etc. Capitalism opens the door to favoritism and it's not anything you can really avoid.

  2630.  @letitbeenow  Because I don't have a news talk show that claims to discuss the grievances of working people.... They could easily interview a protestor or play clips from the spokespeople talking about their demands and grievances, but they're clearly not doing that even though they've done that for other protests. However, it's been clear for weeks now that they main issue has been vaccine mandates and mandating truckers crossing the border to be vaccinated which makes little sense for a trucker isolated on the road for days at a time. Especially when vaccination has nothing to do with transmission. Some of these truckers are vaccinated themselves and are just against mandates in principle. Actually, even Cenk was against mandates a year ago until suddenly TYT decided to join in on a vaccine culture war.

  2640. The low volume on your segments has been a constant source of frustration for me. I honestly haven't heard most of your videos for the past few years because the volume is so low compared to other TYT vides and pretty much all other videos on YT. I don't know if it's because you don't like putting the mic near you or what the issue is, but the result is that if I don't stop my playlist to turn the volume way up when you're talking then I just won't hear you. It sucks because I often do want to hear your take on legal matters, but the effort required is too much because I'm doing other things while listening to videos.

So clearly, you're not paying attention to what I actually said. Fox News said they hacked, infiltrated, planted evidence and that it was just like Watergate. All those things were 100% lies. I'm not shilling for anybody. I just know that all political campaigns pay for opposition research and many companies and individuals are willing to do unscrupulous things for an easy paycheck. It doesn't matter if you are Clinton, Obama, Trump, Romney, etc. They ALL pay a lot of money for opposition research. If you're somehow surprised by that or you think that Clinton did something special here, then you would be extremely naive.

  2661. Come on Kyle, collusion with Russia is not based on a single fucking statement by a politician.... So I guess your strategy here is to ignore all the news all week in order to prop up your ego? Let's run down the facts that you conveniently ignore: 1. Russia did try to influence our election in multiple ways in favor of Trump. 2. Trump's businesses were essentially bailed out by Russian Oligarchs. 3. The Trump Campaign CHANGED the GOP platform to be suddenly pro Russia. 4. He appointed the CEO of Exon Mobile whose only real purpose was to negotiate the oil contracts once they were able to get rid of the sanctions. 5. Trump has in fact REFUSED to enforce the sanctions on Russia despite wisespread bipartisan agreement. 6. Never in my life have I ever heard a US president go on national TV and say how the US government doesn't know what it's doing and that the Russian government is so much better. Furthermore did it ever occur to you that if Trump did anything more in favor of Russia while he was being investigated that he would be even more of a moron than he already is?

That's not how probability works. The vaccines are 94-95% affective, period. 2. People HAVE IN FACT DIED from Covid after being fully vaccinated. WTH are you even talking about? The people who died were old, but they did die. It stands to reason that even with a vaccine that is 95% effective, a small percentage of a small percentage will still die of Covid.

Just because people like Jake Paul's content doesn't mean you cannot call him and his content complete crap.... There are also millions of people who watch Tucker Carson, does that mean you can't criticize him? You literally criticize Tucker, Hannity, etc. every single day despite the fact that they have "large followings". 3. Cenk... there is a BIG difference between not liking content because you think it's stupid or not entertaining and content that is harmful and destructive to millions of people. THAT is why people criticize Jake Paul, not just because he's on youtube. Jeez you are INCREDIBLE biased here.

  2669. Well Trump wasn't actually impeached over "Russiagate", he was impeached over withholding military aid from the Ukrainian government in order to force them into opening a fake investigation into his political opponent so that it would help him get re-elected. Then he was impeached again for inciting an insurrection on our nation's capital to overturn the election results. I would say that those things are pretty bad... Never mind killing hundreds of thousands of Americans because you thought wearing masks was uncool and constantly undermining social distancing. Trump directly killed at hundreds if not thousands of people with his rallies alone. Not to mention Herman Cain. Or how about taking kids from their parents at the border as a punishment for trying to seek asylum? Trump is a really awful guy who did a lot bad things that are all worthy of impeachment.

They may be greener plant models, but as green as solar when you consider what it takes to build plants, decommission plants, divert water, treat water, mine uranium, enrich uranium? Probably not. How is that is "the future"? Solar basically democratizes energy across the country. Nuclear puts energy in the hands of a few.

  2673. The specific cohort for myocarditis being a bigger issue for vaccination compared to contracting covid was specifically for young males. If you're not even discussing that specific cohort then you're not really discussing the topic. Obviously when it comes to Covid there are different risk factors for people over 60 compared to people under 20. However, it has been found when you break down different age and gender groups. Young males seem to have a slightly higher risk factor for myocarditis from vaccination compared to contracting Covid even though the entire population has a lower risk.

  2675. Amy Klobuchar 2020: Swang Wang Wang.... Debbie Schlussel You can tell just by the views on this video that many people didn't care enough to even watch anything on Kobuchar... She's clearly an administrator, not a leader.

  2676. I like how suddenly we're virtue signaling over which type of worker protest is legitimate or not. As if "spreading disease" is really what truckers in Canada are asking for. You guys have started acting just like Fox News for the past year or so.

  2677. It seems as if the caller just reached the first step in understanding politics "politicians often lie and spin things for their benefit". However there is a big difference between theater that brings attention to an important issue such as AOC protesting at Pelosi's office for the green new deal or Cori Bush sleeping on the steps of the capital to fight against the eviction moratorium vs. pretty much anything that Ted Cruz does or says...

  2678.  @sabymondal  They disagreed with one point then called them "idiots" and "selfish" and lunatics for having that opinion. Now they won't even bring an actual trans person to discuss these issues or do bare minimum journalism into the topic. "Spit balling" based on your limited understanding and calling trans people dumb is not how you do real journalism.

  2679. ​ @OmniMale  No I didn't... What you call "word salad" is an "explanation". Please re-read and try again. Understand that your immune system and your ability to fight infections involves more than just antibodies. For more context as well as many studies covering Covid and natural immunity, read the BMJ article entitled: "Vaccinating people who have had covid-19: why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?"
    3
  2680.  @lornadodgen8623  Natural immunity is better than vaccination most of the time, but not all the time.... Evolution equipped us with a lot of tools to combat pathogens, at the same time viruses are also equipped to mutate and evolve to overcome those defenses. So if you haven't had Covid I would strongly recommend that you get vaccinated. You really don't want to get sick with it. My illness was pretty mild and tbh I've had far worse flus, but at the same time it took an unusual amount of time before I felt "normal" again, my blood pressure skyrocketed, and who knows what sort of long term damage the virus caused to my heart and other organs. On one hand I'm glad that I got it over with, but at the same time It really isn't worth it.

  2681.  @michaelkulman7095  Yeah sarcasm often doesn't translate over text, but I get it. People aren't really following science, they're just following people who they trust are following science, but unfortunately that's not always the case.

  2683. @Clem Fandango Like I said... Naïve.... If you haven't seen how Tulsi has shifted and pandered over the years then I can't help you. Because you believe that everyone runs for president out of the goodness of their heart. Harris' attack was a real one even if it was shamelessly pre-planned.
    3
  2684. Probably because Tulsi was basically a conservative Democrat until she decided to run for president a few years ago. So it's hard to tell. She was part of an organization who fought against gay marriage. She was on the fence when it came to torture in 2014. She took a long time coming around to Medicare for All. So personally I don't trust her just yet at all.
    3
  2685. I wish you would expand more on how you're "non-binary"... Seems like you've always presented female to me. Everyone has some feminine and masculine qualities. Personally I wouldn't call a "tomboy" non-binary or a man/boy who wants to wear eye liner, but that's just me. So, I'd like to understand the specific non-binary context you're referring to.
    3
  2686. Trump supporters don't care to look at at actual "facts" and "numbers". Whatever Trump says in a rally is what they'll believe. I'm still wondering why Hydroxychloroquine didn't magically cure Herman Cain of Covid... 🤔

  2688. When you keep talking about people as if they are still relevant we make them far more important than they really are.  This is why Sarah Palin ended up with a reality TV show. Trump is the fucking president... The most powerful person on the planet. HE SHOULD be talking about Trump every day NOT wasting his and my time on an irrelevant candidate that he's emotionally attached to for some reason.

    3
  2691. ​ @logicalanswer3529  Again "stalking" is not covering the news. On the other hand you showing up to all of TYT's videos is far more akin to "stalking" don't you think? If TYT showed up on Truth social and Twitter and commented on every post that Trump made then you might have a point, but that would be a lot closer to your behavior, not TYT's.

  2694. It probably says more about people than it does about media outlet. I don't think it shows a weakness in their business model because that model has been VERY lucrative for them. The Hill never gets the ratings or views of places like Fox or CNN and it won't until people actually start caring about the quality of their commentary.

  2697.  @exiledhebrew1994  Again, get your head on straight. You're not going to magically get rid of all the Republicans in the House and Senate or the corporate democrats. So what's your solution? Nothing? No Bill? Because McConnell has been perfectly fine with that. These negotiations have been going on for months. You're not going to snap your effing fingers and be able to get a perfect bill. Your two solutions are to take what you can get or get nothing. Or is your solution to want to wait until the midterm elections to vote for a new Congress?
    3
  2698. Told ya.... Could the emails alone swing the election? Maybe/Maybe not, but when you add a combination of emails, fake news stories on social media, and foreign opposition research in a VERY close election. It becomes a bit more likely. Not that the DNC didn't shoot themselves in the foot. However it is well known that the establishment RNC was doing even worse things than the DNC in order to get rid of Trump. We just didn't get emails for all to see specifically done to swing the election to one side.

  2703.  @leonxl  Then it makes even less sense to ask us for a list of demands now doesn't it? The only question we have is to support an ally or not. It makes no sense to talk about objectives, borders, and negotiation tactics. When no one is qualified to discuss those things and it's not even up to us to decide.

  2704.  @DragonAlchemist0  The virus stays in a vaccinated persons system for a shorter time than someone who is unvaccinated. However they still spread the virus (The Delta variant) very efficiently According to a recent study out of the UK the rate of transmission between fully vaccinated people is only about 3rd lower than unvaccinated people. In other words there isn't a huge reduction in transmission. The idea that if you're vaccinated you're not spreading anything probably led to the big spike in cases over the summer as people started gathering a lot more after being vaccinated.

  2707. Imagine what would happen to this country if people suddenly PANICKED... People would have been so scared that they stayed away from each other and wore masks all the time. It would have been horrible to not have 200,000 Americans die 7 months later.

  2709. I'm sorry, but the guy's post was annoying af... He's basically saying: "praise me because I like a fat chicks". When in reality no one would have thought twice about his wife's body or whether it was perfect or not if it weren't for him pointing it out over and over in his pictures.... There are literally tens of millions of men across this country who have wives or girlfriends with bodies just like that. They don't feel the need to get on a soap box and talk about how great they are simply for being attracted to them. Just because you choose to objectify your wife's body for being curvy or plus sized doesn't somehow make you more of a "feminist". People with Instagram accounts like that are basically just attention whores.

  2710. Instead of just virtue signaling over generic mask mandates, you really need to provide updated science that shows that mask mandates would have effectiveness over the filtrations systems that exist on planes. Especially when we know that cloth and surgical masks have far less effectiveness against Omicron than prior strains.

  2712. I would agree to 6 months in prison, but I also wouldn't give a pass to Republican voters and their bigotry, racism, homophobia, etc. that has nothing to do with "power structure". Fox News wouldn't be lying about the election if their viewers weren't demanding to be lied to.

  2713. So not allowing a quick divorce is an excuse to oppress Muslims? I don't get the logic here. It sounds like the same logic that Trump supporters use to ignore white supremacy and racism by claiming the economy is good for black people....
    3
  2714. Agree with Ana on this one. Why would you bog down the debate by wasting time on partisan nonsense about the moderator? The only reason you would do that is if you have no ideas to run on and you're trying to distract people from actual issues. IF the moderator was obviously biased then you could point out their bias, but beyond that it's nothing more than vapid nonsense.

  2723. Gee Ana maybe he broke that neck bone in the front because he hurled himself forward... Makes sense to me, I sorta trust the opinion of a renowned chief medical examiner over "something you heard once about a neck bone..." If anything it seems that this investigation should move to how he Epstein was allowed to kill himself, because it seems pretty clear that he was allowed to have alone time.

  2724. +Woodsy 2022, paying respect to traditions, people who die (funerals/military), or 2000 year old religious text and figures is all stupid and pointless, but that's what we do as humans.

  2733. COMPLETLY AGREE with Cenk.... The one promising thing I saw from Clinton's DNC speech was a moment here and there when she was in the attack and being a dick. That's the sweet spot for her voice and personality. When she pretends to be nice and innocent it comes across as fake as shit.
    2
  2734. I'm sure there is more to this issue, but a $1000 is not a lot of money for an executive and it seems silly to scrutinize ever personal action that any employee has ever done while working at a company. This was something he did years ago using his personal money. I'm guessing that his personal beliefs would change eventually however Mozilla as a company will likely suffer as a result
    2
  2735. bob jones  Yes it would be ok actually.  Personal beliefs don't somehow disqualify you from starting, running, or being employed by a business in this country.  I find it rather disturbing that you think it should...  it's no different from being able to fire someone for being a Muslim or atheist. I don't let my personal beliefs turn me onto an authoritarian seeking to punish people for "thought crimes" It's also pretty absurd to want s guy fired for giving a thousand dollars once many years ago meanwhile people like Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers are giving MILLIONS to far more destructive ends every single year.
    2
  2736. +orlock20 Please explain how CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. are all "liberal". I hate to break it to you but facts and journalism is not "liberal", but it seems like conservatives think that anything that reports information as opposed to conservative spin must be "liberal". Which is why they are always the least informed of all voters.

  2737. +Cary Young Ron Paul didn't win a single state and got at most 14 delegates before dropping out.. Bernie has won 16 states and has 1,189 delegates. You would be fact challenged to comparing Bernie Sanders' run to Ron Paul's...
    2
  2738. *****. It's only racism when it's racism.  Not every encounter of  a person of X race attacking a person of Y race is racism.  However people in these comments who have never dealt with real racism are completely clueless to that fact.
    2
  2739. Jill Stein needs more than "the two parties are bad" to win votes. The reason we have two parties is because of the "winner take all" system that we have and basic mathematics. Bernie Sanders did more to move the country in a progressive direction by running in the democratic primary than Ralph Nader ever did or Jill Stein ever will do. I would even argue that Gary Johnson wouldn't have the numbers that he has if it wasn't for Ron Paul making libertarian-ism mainstream by running in the Republican primary.

  2745. tuttle5643  You know that super delegates have never went against the popular vote right?
    2
  2746. +Erick Smith Yeah because national policy should always be based on the few people you know who are entitled. When we implemented public education, social security, medicare, and repealed prohibition, etc. It was because people back then were really nice and not annoying. It wasn't to actually benefit society or anything.
    2
  2747. The thing about symbols Cenk is that those symbols can represent something positive or something negative. It's up to each individual to decide what that symbol means to them. Perhaps burning a flag as a symbol draws attention to these issues we should discuss and change.
    2
  2748. This is the problem with parties....   The founders never intended for parties to be a big part of the governing process and they certainly didn't anticipate having two parties where you're either on one side of an issue or another side. Parties are nothing more than marketing agencies for politicians, they are antithetical to true democracy and should be eliminated.

  2749. These gun nuts have brainwashed themselves into a constant fear of home invasions. When in reality is home invasions or burglaries that happen when people are home are rare and those that result in injury or death are practically nonexistent.. The odds of you or your neighbors getting shot or killed in a shootout suddenly go up if you start shooting up the place just because you hear a noise. How many stories have there been where a gun nut thought that the noise they heard was a home invasion and they end up shooting a family member by mistake?
    2
  2750. SteamRocket There were a few stories that year of a man shooting his son and another man shooting his wife.  There are a couple hundred kids who die accidentally from guns and statistically you increase your likelihood of being shot or injuring a friend or family member by owning a gun.
    2
  2751. codmohgwbf No actually the top reason people own guns is "protection" according to Pew research polling and statistically it's a false sense of protection because gun owners are more likely to be shot.  We already restrict gun ownership from some individuals.  So you're wrong on both fronts.
    2
  2752. codmohgwbf Yes I'm basing my information on actual evidence whereas you're basing it on nothing.  It amazes me how "nothing" or "this is what I feel" is considered evidence with you guys.  Makes you easily manipulated because all someone has to do is make you afraid of something (Muslims, immigrants, gays, WMD, etc.) and you'll go along with just about anything.

Are you really so programmed that you have to read every little thing that you get? Calling people after hours would be more of an issue.
    2
  2757. GothicIntellect No, you're missing the point... BLM does not encourage violence it never has. If you think so then you're making the same accusations and assumptions as the government and racists did during the time of MLK. If you think that a handful of protesters saying some violent chants somehow represents the entire movement all across this country (which has been largely ignored because of it's non-violence) then you're making the same mistakes. If you think that any violent act committed by a black person in protest has something to do with BLM then you're making the same mistakes. During the time of MLK you had Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and other more militant protesters who thought that threats and violence were the only answer. Back then a lot of people also lumped them all together as well. All they saw was black whether they were peaceful or not.
    2
  2758. GothicIntellect Yeah I've heard you people site that one chant from one small group that was in a protest for over a fucking year now.... You don't give a shit about the hundreds of peaceful protests that have taken place since then or the hundreds that took place before that. All you care about is making one chant amongst thousands. represents the entire movement while ignoring the message and ignoring the peaceful protests.. Again, it's the same attitude people had towards protests in the 60s. Let's find one incident. Let's find a few bad apples and pretend that it represents the entire movement. You don't understand this because you have a bullshit version of history that isn't based the reality. It's based on a sugar coated summary. You don't realize that MLK was ALSO accused of inciting violence and he was being investigated by the FBI. Like today the people back then ALSO took a peaceful movement and tried to to blame any violent act and hateful rhetoric on that movement in order to delegitimize it and pretend as if the issues aren't real. http://www.vox.com/2016/1/18/10777146/mlk-day-martin-luther-king You are behaving no different than those people back then.

  2760. There is a tiny portion of the gay community that could be considered "perverted".  Of course that portion is not much different than the portion of the straight community that are also "perverted".  Unfortunately that tiny portion of perverted gay people has a tendency to appear in gay pride parades, etc. which could give people a false impression of how gay people really are.

  2762. Throughout the entirety of US history of robber barons and billionaires there entire goal has to been to get labor as cheap as they can (Slavery, Child Labor, Illegal Immigrants, Union Busting, Anti-minimum wage, etc.) What has magically changed to makes you believe that they are suddenly all altruistic? Why would you think that they suddenly want to do what's best for you and not for them? Are you seriously that naive?

  2764. Girish Seshan A "trust" is not the same as a "non-profit". You can go to places like Charity Watch and see where the money goes from the Clinton Foundation. It has an "A" rating because most of the funds go to charities and grants and it has a relatively low overhead compared to other charities. A lot of these claims are just mindless speculation, because people want to believe there is something there even though he charity has helped millions. I've never liked Clinton, but the vitriol that has suddenly appeared against her in the past few months is pretty crazy. It's as if people have lost their minds when it comes to her.
    2
  2765. Girish Seshan The State Dept just facilitates communication and relationships with foreign nations. It works on behalf of the president. It doesn't make treaties or weapons deals on it's own. It's just involved in facilitating those things.

  2767. Bernie has spent years possibly decades talking about the problem of money in politics, the revolving door, etc.. He has submitted legislation to fix it. However a president has to be MORE than a one trick pony. Larry says that Bernie doesn't have a plan however I have yet to hear any concrete plan from him.... Sorry, but I don't see how anyone can undo all the corruption in politics on "day one" it's going to take years. In the meantime what are you going to do? Shutdown the government?

  2771. SamStam12 I perfectly understand inflation, as does anyone whose taken a beginning economics class....  However you don't seem to understand that inflation is something common among most economies, it isn't something unique to the US economy. Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Iceland, Denmark, etc. all have higher rates of inflation than we do on average.   Furthermore the rate of inflation over the past 5 years or so has been at an all time low. Certainly MUCH lower than it was in the 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s.  It is nowhere near what anyone would call "hyperinflation". So basically when you boil down economic problems, poverty, and inequality to just inflation you really don't know what your talking about.

  2772. I like when Ana is paired with Cenk or someone else. She can complement a conversation on occasion. However having these three on is like having THREE ANAS at the same time. It's too much. It’s like having three servings of mash potatoes and nothing else. All they do is nod their heads to each other's incessant soap boxing. Saying that a beer “will remove ‘no’ from your vocabulary” does not endorse rape. Unless you somehow think the beer would be raping you. However you would be an idiot to think something like that.
    2
  2773. Sorry, but you guys are morons... So someone whose been though a sex change and looks exactly like a man should be going to the women's bathroom and say "Yeah I'm a dude but I was born a woman so it's okay"? And someone who looks exactly like a woman should walk into a men's bathroom with a bunch of dudes and pop a squat? Do you think that maybe that would be a little strange? Apparently you're stupid enough to think that all trans people still look like the gender they were born with....

  2775. The reason you're confused Kyle is because you don't realize that James Comey's original statement was ALSO POLITICAL.... The entire "email scandal" was simply caused by her wanting to use her Blackberry in meetings and whomever set it up so that she could do that also set up a private server that wasn't secure. Yet somehow people thinks she should be in jail for having "bad IT". Of course Comey couldn't prosecute that because it's ridiculous. Yes she should have been more careful with security, but I serious doubt that a grandma that wanted to use her favorite phone is an expert on cyber security....

  2777. Duc Tran Uh... that was started 30 years after Vietnam.  More than enough time for this country to renew it's thirst for war.   Whereas Afghanistan/Iraq started around the same time.  So it's the same sentiment.

  2778. Fundamentalism is simply a strict adherence to an ideology or scripture. Buddhist Monks, Sikhs, Hasidic Jews, Sufi Muslims, Shinto Priests, hundreds of various sects and Gurus in India, Roman Catholic priests at the Vatican, the Amish, hell even Scientologists are all *fundamentalists". You could even argue that Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, & the Dali Lama are fundamentalists as well. Pretending as if some kid who decided to be a Muslim one day and kill his friends for insulting his religion is suddenly a "Fundamentalist" is rather silly. Just like when that abortion doctor was killed by that Christian dude when in fact the bible says nothing about abortion. Sometimes people just do violent things because they're fucked in the head and they gravitate towards religion because they think it gives their life purpose

  2783. You think that Hillary is singularly responsible for a weapons deal when we've been making weapons deals with Saudi Arabia FOR DECADES?... Fucking ridiculous. Yeah this ONE TIME it was all because of the Clinton foundation, never mind that the US has been up Saudi Arabia's ASS for decades giving them weapons, and even sending out military to protect them. There are legitimate criticisms of Hillary when it comes to Wall St reform and even Healthcare, but this is where you start to sound like Alex Jones

  2784. justmemadison No, assertive is just a word used to describe people.  Not sure where you think the "sexual only" connotation comes from. However I've worked in organizations where most of executives were men and I've worked in organizations where most of the executives are women.    Sexism (and racism) does exist in the workplace (especially at that last place I worked), but it doesn't exist everywhere.  All too often people make generalizations that are not necessarily true in every case. 
    2
  2785. I cannot believe the bullshit on this panel... No one seems to acknowledge the fact that Hillary had FAR MORE NAME RECOGNITION than Bernie Sanders. Clinton had a HUGE lead since the very beginning of the primary because she's been a household name in politics for nearly TWO DECADES plus she had run for president in 2008. Pretending that it's all about policy and not celebrity, name recognition, gender, race, who you want to have a beer with, etc. is pretty much admitting that you DON'T KNOW ANYTHING about politics.

  2790. Sorry Kyle, but you're a political hack if you just dismiss the information simply because it doesn't fit your narrative.... Yeah if someone hacks ONE candidate and ONE political organization. THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY MANIPULATING THE ELECTION. Do you think that if the emails from the RNC or Trump's campaign were leaked that there wouldn't be damaging information there? Of course there would be. The media can easily get manipulated by Russia, Trump, or anyone because they will jump onto "leaked secrets" without ever once questioning where it came from or the motivations behind it. If you can't recognize that then you're just another talking head.

  2802. Girish Seshan There is a lot of interpretation when it comes to her emails and the foundation. Most of it is just an assumption that she did something nafarious without any actual evidence. The DNC emails just shows the DNC's bias. It's not like she personally made them do anything. Yeah she's not left enough, but neither was Obama. However she's still night and day compared to Trump or anyone in the GOP when it comes to climate change, abortion, gun regulation, tax regulations, minimum wage, health care, infrastructure, private prisons, etc. The no fly zone or safe zone would depend on how it's implemented. She has partnered with Russia before so I wouldn't doubt that she would do it again. I would think (hope) that threatening a no fly zone is just a way of getting Russia to the table for negotiating the Syrian refugee crisis. The same way that she used sanctions and other threats to get Iran to the table for a nuclear deal. TPP yeah she's going to want to push something through. However if she actually goes through with her promise of making it good for workers and the environment then I wouldn't mind it. It's not like we can never do trade deals or anything. Here's how I see it.... FDR and LBJ were both "moderates" and deeply status quo. However they ended up doing great things for the country because they were pushed into the right positions. HRC knows how to wield power and I think with the right grassroots movement she can be pushed into the right policies. She's also going to be looking to make a name for herself as the first female president. So I would expect she would be looking to push some historic legislation with hopefully people like Elisabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders there to guide her.

  2804. Jeff Brailsford Again... Saying that you wished "the aftermath was handled better" is not the same as changing your position. Even saying "whoops my mistake, that didn't work" isn't the same as changing your position. The fact that you or anyone would equate that to Trump blatantly lying about his position in 2011 and pretending that he was never in favor of it, is completely ASTOUNDING....
    2
  2805. Trump's campaign can't even control Trump and Jimmy thinks that somehow the press is going to control him? LOL..... How has that worked for the press so far? Trump cares more about his ego than public opinion, he has sabotaged deals worth hundreds of millions over his own ego and he would gladly let the country burn over it. Letting a guy like that in office would be the biggest mistake this country has ever made.

  2810. Matt, you can go ahead and pretend that someone who wants to raise the budget on the pentagon by 10%, has put all the military decisions into the hands of the generals and Military Industrial Complex, wonders why we can't use nukes, wishes we could have stolen the oil in Iraq and says we should have never pulled out, says that we should bomb civilians and "take out the families" of terrorist, and is on the record as having THE EXACT SAME POSITION ON LYBIA is somehow less of a warmonger. I prefer to stay in reality. No one brought up Russia. Classic straw man. Stop making up shit. No one is blackmailing you, but if you couldn't tell the difference between the candidates you're not paying attention to the policies and you've blinded yourself to "hillary hate". That irrational judgement and pretending that there is no difference is going to give us Trump for 8 years. You're not offering anything other than bitching..
    2
  2811. Djovan Henriques If I wasn't calm I couldn't vote for the candidate with the better policies despite my undying support for Bernie. I definitely don't want you to shut up, but what I want you to do is focus that energy towards planning for the next election because bitching about the primary and bitching about Hilary Clinton is NOT going to accomplish a damn thing. It just isn't. Kyle saying that "we were right" about Bernie over and over isn't going to accomplish a damn thing other than stroking his own ego. I don't care about being right I care about fascism not winning. What is actually going to accomplish something is pointing out the policy issues and corruption in the current administration, as well as creating a movement (like Bernie has said over and over) to highlight those issues over and over. This will force ANY candidate running against Trump to make those issues part of their platform. However if you insist on making it about "purity" then I'm sorry we're going to lose. If Bernie decides to run again, great, fantastic! But if you think that we're magically going to get "all pure" candidates for the house, senate, and presidency in the next 2-3 years (let alone the midterms) then you're all just delusional. The standard CANNOT BE whether a person ever received money from Wall St or has been as pure as Bernie has been for the last 40 years. If that is your standard then we're going to lose to Trump We're going to lose to Mr "grab them by the pussy", Mr Trump University scam, Mr Ties made in China. A person who is the least "pure" of anyone, however he at least had a message to run on while the left was busy eating itself and smelling their own farts. Do you see my perspective now?

Here's a quote from the second paragraph in this blog post: -"and now we’ve also got the below chart (brought to my attention by John S in the comments), taken from an AEI blog post but not sure who the original creator is:" So in other words he has NO CLUE where the chart came from and he got it from some guy posting a COMMENT.... Yet here you are claiming it came from a study.  Jeez do you care about "facts" at all? Wow... How can anyone sit there and present this shit as facts and a "study" while at the same time completely ignore when someone presents ACTUAL studies based on REAL numbers? There's no point in having a conversation with someone on a religious crusade where clearly facts don't matter. The only thing that matters to you is the narrative (dogma) you've created in your mind.

  2816. Those who are disliking this video because they are sick and tired of minorities complaining about discrimination and privilege have never been in a situation where they have been passed over for promotion by people who were less qualified. With a lot of industries who you know is often times much more important than your talent. Nothing epitomizes this more than Hollywood where friends and family of established directors, actors, etc. get their foot in the door a lot easier than someone off the street. The Hollywood establishment is mostly all white so it's not difficult to see how other minorities can get excluded. It's not to say that they're being racist, it's just that they don't have a connection to people from other races in the same way that they do in their private circles.

  2817. Do you think Elizabeth Warren supporting Jill Stein will suddenly cause her to win? Do you think her support will suddenly change Jill Stein's polls from 2%-4% to 50%? Of course not.

  2819. Pat, I don't know what money you're referring to that the "Clintons get for themselves" since it's a non-profit. I've never heard of such a thing. You can't exactly get profits from a non-profit. You can get paid as an employee, that's about it and obviously she wasn't an employee of a foundation when she was secretary of state. Furthermore what about the fact that it's been rated by two different charity monitoring organizations where it is not only highly rated, but showed that at least 89% of the money goes towards charities. Which is far less overhead than many other foundations or charities. Nevermind the fact that Trump's own foundation could not even be rated and that it admitted to "self dealing", but apparently that is a non-story compared to "suspicions" with the Clinton Foundation. Not saying that "suspicions" aren't warranted, but the speculation was blown way out of proportion and it was never based on anything tangible.

You honestly believe that politicians, who are government officials, should be bribed to do what anyone with money wants them to do? I guess you also have no problem with rich people buying off police or judges as well? I guess all the drug cartels having influence in Mexican government officials to look the other way is how things should work in your mind. They can behead and kill as many people as they want because buying off politicians is just "speech". You are a classic example of cognitive dissonance gone amok. You're so invested into believing that Ben Shapiro is right that he's actually gotten you to argue in favor of government corruption. Amazing.

  2831. +Cave Johnson Well the fact is that any industry that has been run by certain groups of families for decades is naturally going to have bias towards a certain group of people. You're more likely to want to work with your friends and family. You're more likely to acknowledge people in your social circles. There's nothing malicious about it, but it does create a situation that perpetually limits the opportunities of "outsiders" whether they are black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, Middle Eastern, etc.. Which is why you have black directors/producers which try to balance things out by creating "black movies" (Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, etc). I don't like that idea either because I'd rather watch a movie, not watch a movie making a statement about the people who are acting and working on the movie and it doesn't matter how good the performances are in those movies they're not going to get nominated for awards because of the bias. So you can say "Equality in opportunity", but doesn't that have the same issues with "equality of outcome"? You're not going to be able to force directors, writers, and producers to somehow cast minorities everywhere in high profile movies. That's also going to interfere with the creative process right? So perhaps the only thing people can do is speak out about it and make people aware of the issue so that at least people are thinking about it and keeping and open mind when they're writing the next script, or producing the next movie, or considering the next nomination for an award. Being aware of your own bias is the first step towards mitigating it.

  2834. John NoNameGibbon So you think Trump isn't saying anything to win? So I guess he didn't suddenly visit a bunch of black neighborhoods right before the debates to win? Which flip flop over the past 6 months does Trump "firmly" believe in? You really need to be honest with yourself here. Hillary has laid out detailed policy positions which have been available for many months on her website and changed the entire democratic party platform to fit those positions. Yes she has shifted on some issues (TPP, gay marriage, etc.) however it is an indisputable fact that she has been FAR more consistent than Trump. I for one was glad to see that the push to the left that Bernie gave her during the primaries was still in effect. She could have easily shifted to the right on many issues (gun control, taxing the rich, wall st reform), but she didn't.
    2
  2835. You're completely wrong Thom, it's not just the positions it's TRUST... People are sick of being screwed over by politicians that campaign on one thing and then govern on another. We've already had this with Obama and when people see Clinton's history we know that she will switch positions based on politics and convenience instead of principles. When people look a Bernie they see someone who has fought for the same principles for 40 YEARS... Do you seriously think you can fix that with a shiny new campaign slogan? No Thom, you can't. To think so is completely patronizing to all the people supporting Bernie who actually research and know their shit.

  2837. fjaurler While I agree that Cenk takes the "outrage" too far in some cases.  What you're not getting is that: 1.  A person can dislike an action or policy and not think that everything that politician does is bad. 2. A person can praise an action or policy and not think that everything that politician does is good. There are things that I commend Ron Paul for and there are issues over which I think he's absolutely insane.  It has nothing to do with "consistency" over an individual, but rather it's "consistency" on the issues that I think are important.  For some reason you think that a person should always be demonized or always be  praised even if you just agree with half of what they do.   That doesn't make sense.

  2839. Well it's precisely because you're not black that you don't understand... She didn't say that white people are not killed, she said not killed in the same way. Simply put, race is a factor in whether the police (or anyone) thinks that you could be a potential "bad guy" or not, being poor is also a factor. If you're poor and black then you have even more assumptions about you. If you're black you start to notice that you get harassed more often than your white friends, even in the same situation. This is also proven by many studies and statistics. This country has had a very long history of bias, discrimination and the police cracking down more on blacks has been going on since slaves were freed. So it's not something that suddenly all black people decided to make up one day. It's something that has just become more obvious because more of the poor and middle class have camera phones. No one thinks this is a simple issue of people being racist or not being racist. Yes there are still many white supremacist groups out there today, but most people are referring to the unconscious institutional bias that basically causes black people to be targeted more and seen as a threat more even when they have done nothing wrong. All that does is create a lot of animosity towards the police and the system. It also serves to divide this country more because one side has had an ongoing problem for decades and the other side refuses to even acknowledge it despite evidence and studies. If I came to you every day and said that my leg hurts constantly and said "don't you see that it's bleeding?" and you pretended that I didn't have a problem with my leg and that "all limbs matter". Then I would probably start to have animosity towards you because I would think that you just don't care. In reality it's not that you're a bad person, it's just that you don't experience the same things.

Yet somehow a subset of humans have decided that they are better and more high and mighty than most other life on this planet. No, killing animals isn't wrong, your pretentiousness is wrong. Respecting life doesn't mean never taking it, because death has always always always been part of life.

  2844. It's not about veganism it's about sustainability. Our agricultural practices are completely unsustainable and will eventually destroy our soils whether you're vegan or not. Pretending that being vegan will stop this is like thinking a slightly smaller hole in a sinking ship is somehow "okay".... We need to create ecosystems based on plants and animals instead of highly mechanized oil based agriculture that we have today. The longest living people in the world are not vegetarians or vegans Thom. We evolved to be omnivorous.

  2845. Wesley Fitts If those older black voters where as familiar with policy as you think they are then they would be voting for Bernie Sanders.  They would also know that Sanders never "talked shit" about Obama, he was just critical of certain policies while he often praised Obama.  Clinton is riding on her husband's legacy as she always has. Why do you think she had a 50 point lead last year? You're talking about a guy who made up a 50 point deficit in the polls in a matter of month.  That doesn't happen because people don't like what you're saying.  That happens because people like what you're saying.  Meanwhile Hillary is riding on brand recognition and the idea that her husband was the "first black president" as they called him.  The fact that the Clintons were popular with black voters has nothing to do with Obama. However younger black voters which support Sanders are get their news and information from the internet.  They don't remember the Clintons and they don't have that love affair that their parents have.

  2846. I don't get why people don't understand what an "investigation" is.

  2848. TonyisGaming All life evolved from the same cell. Whether it is a plant cell or an animal cell it is still life. We only value one kind of existence over another because of our own bias towards are own existence. The way we treat and grow plants is just as horrible as what we do to animals and in the process we destroy birds, frogs, rodents, snakes, bees, etc. when we dump tons of pesticides all over the land. Not to mention the tons of oil used in all industrial farming. One day we will learn how to respect life and maintain balance in the environment instead of just treating life like machines.

  2851. genie0390 Yet apparently it's okay to compare the US to Mexico when you think it supports your argument.  Which of course is completely hypocritical....   Unless you can provide some kind of argument on how the "amount of people" in a country has anything to do with gun laws then you're not making a rational argument.  That's like saying we shouldn't have traffic laws like other countries because we have a lot of people.  It's nonsense.   Furthermore most mass shootings are not racially motivated and most crime is committed against the same race.  In other words most black/white/hispanic/asian people commit crime against other black/white/hispanic/asian people. Australia had several mass shootings leading up to the gun restrictions and buyback program so you're wrong there too.
    2
  2852. genie0390 The bottom line is your ideas about the US are based on jingoistic propaganda and the reality is that you don't know dick about other countries....  Yes there are a number civil liberties and rights that we enjoy in the US that you wouldn't find in say North Korea, but to say that somehow the US is the pinnacle of freedom is nonsense.  The reality is what freedoms you have and don't have vary from country to country.  There are things that people in other countries take for granted that we cannot do here.  However you don't think about those things because you don't know any different since you grew up here.   You really need to step outside the US bubble every once in awhile.
    2
  2853. genie0390 I've been many places Canada Nicaragua, Kenya, Europe, Asia, etc.  Tell me what exactly do you find less free in Costa Rica than the US?   Immigrants migrate for all sorts of reasons, if you think more people migrate to the US than other places then you would be absolutely wrong,  You would also be wrong if you think that people are happier in the US than in all other countries.  All of that is just more of the same jingoistic nonsense.
    2
  2854. genie0390 First off you didn't answer my question....  Secondly talk to me about actual laws and restrictions related to guns and self defense in Canada.  An "absolute right to self defense doesn't give you the right to murder anyone indiscriminately that you think might b a threat.  Which is why we have laws to dictate circumstances.  Until you can differentiate what EXACT laws you're referring to that makes you "less free" in Canada then you're simply spouting nonsense. Most in Canada would consider the right to healthcare to be very important and the idea of traveling to the US without any guarantees of what might happen if you get sick or in an accident while traveling is a big concern. There are many countries where you can freely travel to without having this worry.  The US is not one of them.
    2
  2855. genie0390 1. It just means that in Canada their laws respect the "right to life" more than your right to shoot someone in the face when they knock on your door in the middle of the night when their car breaks down.  Something which actually happens in the US...  Seeing as their homicide rates are less than half of ours.  It kind of makes sense.  Burglary homicides are actually pretty rare.   This doesn't mean you're less free it just means the freedom to kill someone because you're frightened doesn't trump the right for people to live. 2.  The US also has hate crime laws which don't exist in many other countries.  The US also restricts speech when it comes to inciting violence, defamation, etc.  We also have a great amount of censorship for TV, Radio, etc. that isn't as strict or puritarian in many other countries. So yes when it comes specifically to "hate speech" you can say there are more liberties in the US, but there are many forms of speech, expression, etc. to consider. 3.  It also costs tax money to have a police officers prevent a rape/muggings or a firemen to put out fires.  The military and the wars alone cost trillions. So what's your point?   The fact is we have tens of thousands of people die in this country because of lack of health coverage.  So the "right to life" is not a priority here as it is in other countries.  Someone coming from just about ANY other industrialized country looks at that as a huge restriction.   I don't have to worry about buying "special insurance" and pray that I'm covered if something happens when I travel to the UK, France, or Canada.
    2
  2856. genie0390  1."Their laws value the life of a criminal more than the life of an innocent victim. " You're presenting a "false choice".  Which is a classic logical fallacy.   The vast majority of intruders onto your property have no intent to kill you. Canada decided that killing someone indiscriminately just because you're frightened one day violates a persons right to life.  It's a perfectly reasonable stance to take if you value life.  And I challenge you to find any statistics that show more people getting killed as a result. 2.  You should base what is "myth" on actual facts and research not on talking points.  The fact is there have been several studies over the years that have put the number between 30-40 thousand dead because of lack of coverage.  Emergency room care isn't "health care".  It's where you go when you're about to die (or you've had a serious accident).  If you have a cancer or heart issues an emergency room isn't going to provide the long term care you need to live. I suggest that you actually look into the effectiveness and costs of our healthcare system compared to other countries.  Turning a blind eye while listening to conservative talking points is not a solution.
    2
  2857. genie0390 You must love straw man arguments and unsubstantiated claims.  Tell me what percentage of burglaries result in homicides?  Do you have any idea?  Probably not...  Here's a clue, it's less than the number of accidental shootings involving children and far less than accidental shootings overall.  Sadly your views seem to be based on nothing more than your imagination and what you were told to be afraid of.  No different than the narrative about the US being so much "more free" than every other country with little to base it on other than your feeling. Sorry but I'm only persuaded by facts, not empty rhetoric.

  2858. Joe Crockenberg Because you are denying it.... I've repeated the same thing 5 times now and you just stick your head in the sand and pretend as if you hadn't heard anything. I'm defending billions of years of evolution. I'm defending creating sustainable ecosystems. You are defending an ideology. When you start calling facts "useless" then you really need to start evaluating yourself.... Again, we already have enough food to feed the world 1.5 times over. The issue is creating sustainable agriculture and yes that relies on both plants AND animals because in case you didn't realize it, if you go anywhere in nature you will find plants AND animals living in symbiotic relationships. Thinking that you can just go on creating monocrops of nothing but cereal crops and vegetables is NOT sustainable. It will NEVER be sustainable. All you're doing is trying to do here is justifying your ideology and dietary choices, but if you think about how things work in NATURE and the fact that it has been working this way for billions of years until we came along and industrialized everything and decided to make perfect rows of plants and animals in a way that DOES NOT EXIST IN NATURE. Then the conclusion is clear. I'm sure you didn't even bother to look at the BBC documentary I sent you, but it is highly informative and interesting.
    2
  2859. You JUST DID a segment on a joke on twitter about the guy from prison break gaining some weight a few years ago. Yet that should be taken seriously and this shouldn't? I don't think either should be taken seriously, but you should be a little consistent.

  2860. She should have said that Sports Illustrated being an athletic magazine should be showing athletic women, instead of having women on the cover just to be sex symbols. However if it's only about sex then it doesn't matter what they put on the cover. They could put Nikki Minaj's ass for all I care.
    2
  2861. You live in Russia and it's the west and Obama who is behind everything. You live in the USA and it's Putin who's pulling strings on everyone. People/Cenk just need to calm the fuck down.... yes there is rampant corruption in pretty much all of these states, but not everything is as simplistic.

  2862. Alex Jones called Ana "A little sheet head" just for being Armenian. Not even hiding his ignorance and racism.
    2
  2863. Sorry, but saying someone's charity is corrupt with zero evidence is not a very thoughtful position to have. It's just regurgitating the narrative. Trump's charity can't even be rated by charity monitoring organizations, has been fined multiple times, and has admitted to self dealing. The fact is the only thing Hillary was guilty of was being too cozy with Wall St. Not only is she not on the level of Trump, they're not even on the same playing field....

  2864. It would surprise me, but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me.

  2865. Our political system isn't setup to support third parties, that is why they always fail. The only change has come from within the parties for example Bernie Sanders and #JusticeDemocrats
    2
  2866. Ray Matthews This isn't about participation in the debates, This is about the "winner take all system" that our democracy is based on. Other democracies that came later implemented "proportional representation" which allows for 3rd parties to flourish and participate. People really need to get it through there heads that it isn't a matter of people deciding to do it one year it's a flaw in our democracy.... This is why the government quickly dessiminated into two parties after the country was founded. Until that flaw is fixed we will never be able to effectively support 3rd parties. Which is why the green party and libertarian parties have just sat around only being noticed every 4 years when there is an election but never getting anywhere. Historically change has come from within the 2 parties not outside of it.
    2
  2867. Ray Matthews Apparently you didn't bother to actually read my comment. There have been 3rd parties in debates before. Look at history.... If you think someone showing up at a debate every 4 years will magically change how the voting system works, then I'm sorry but you're mistaken. You need constant representation and a support structure to support another party which isn't going to happen showing up every 4 years. Even Ralph Nader made a statement saying that Bernie did things the right way. Creating an insurgency within a party has historically been far more effective than 3rd parties. Again, in order to really support 3rd parties you need a system that supports proportional representation like the UK and other parliamentary systems which we don't have.
    2
  2868. kkjood100  Well technically we do have rehabilitation mixed in with our incarceration system just not very much of it....  Unfortunately there is far more money to be made by keeping people in cages rather than making them productive members of society.
    2
  2869. I remember getting pulled over once.  I forgot what it was for (expired tag maybe?). I remember as soon as the officer saw that I was wearing nice business clothes he became really nice and even apologized for pulling me over...  This is how the rich start to feel entitled and the poor start to feel frustrated and angry.
    2
  2870. Such an informed and insightful opinion....
    2
  2871. SatanicBunny  I don't understand how raping people at different times is relevant.  Only one has to be telling the truth for the guy to be a rapist.  If you think multiple women coming forward accusing someone of a pattern of rape isn't evidence in a criminal case then you don't know anything about our justice system....  So I'm not sure where you're getting your "logic" from.  It sounds more like your opinion than anything resembling logic.
    2
  2872. Goobzor SatanicBunny  There is ample evidence that these women were in contact with Cosby so what are you talking about?Furthermore there are no police reports, hospital records, or therapy sessions for the majority of rapes out there even physical ones.    Apparently you both think anyone that is clever enough to drug people with a drug that only stays momentarily in the body and molest them while they are unconscious without leaving bruises should be able to get away with it.  Because there would be no real "evidence" in your mind.  There is a long history of women being sexually assaulted by men in power and there is a long history of people like you two calling them all liars and turning a blind eye.   This obviously is something that needs to be investigated.
    2
  2873. SatanicBunny All people are saying is that the more victims/witness come forward the more plausible the claims are. This is simply logical. Making a claim that every person who comes forward with a claim is lying (also with no evidence) is illogical.  Keep in mind not even Cosby is denying these claims, which makes it even more illogical that people are automatically assuming that he is innocent.  If he wasn't a celebrity and just some dude, no one would be jumping to his defense like this and assuming he's innocent just because they liked him on TV. Furthermore no one is saying "throw him in jail without a trial".  Only that it's more plausible that he is guilty. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100249923 http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/anthony-graves-becomes-12th-death-row-inmate-exonerated-texas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Banks_(American_football)#Sexual_assault_case http://theadvocate.com/news/neworleans/neworleansnews/9557378-123/man-to-go-free-on
    2
  2874. Goobzor  Millions of people being taught since birth to believe in God is completely different than claiming someone drugged and raped you. Gee perhaps the stories are similar because that was his MO.   Again assuming that all of these women are wrong or lying when Cosby himself hasn't even denied it just represents a kind of misogyny.
    2
  2875. ***** Well there's already a word for people who don't even want a trial for a celebrity who has been accused of rape by 40 women. It's called: an Apologist.   There is a big difference between people with faith/belief in something intangible and people who are purposely lying to put an old man in jail.  You think there are 40 women (or at least 25) who are colluding and lying to put an old man in jail. Which I think is far more fantastical than there being some truth to the claims being made against him
    2
  2876. Even during MLK's time you had mostly black people protesting and a lot of white people being against it. People seem to forget that and pretend it was all peace and love it wasn't.... They forget that it was really no different today. You have a lot black protesters a few white people standing with them who actually "get it" and lot of other racist white people and police pretending that everyone in the movement are "thugs".

  2877. "less than 1% of the population is doing us harm and we need to do something about them".... Kinda reminds me of nazi germany...

  2878. Don't care.... He was convicted, did his time, and now he's labeled a sex offender. Kicking him off the team because you don't like how other administrators handled the case is just unproductive.
    2
  2879. Well you seemed to just skip over the part where she said they would try to "make a deal" with the Syrians and Russians. This implies to me that she's talking more about negotiating a no fly zone for the purpose of creating safe zones. It doesn't sound to me like she's talking about unilaterally declaring a no fly zone and then shooting any plane we see.
    2
  2880. Kaze Well the choice is then sit around and let more Syrians die in air strikes and have no safe place for refugees. There are no easy answers and no perfect solutions. If you think there is a perfect solution where no Syrians die and the refugees have a place to go then I'm all ears. Ideally we would create safe-zones with the assistance of Russia and Assad. They also have no desire to go to war with the US. My hope is that the threat of a no-fly-zone is enough to bring them to the table to negotiate an agreed upon no fly zone and safe zone for the refugees. Otherwise they will just continue to bomb civilian populations indiscriminately, the refugees will continue to flood into Europe, and there's really nothing we would be able do to about it.
    2
  2881. Kaze Again, do you not realize that Russia and Assard are the ones bombing civilians? Do you not realize that Russia has it's own agenda in the region? You say "work along side Russia and Syria" as if we can just snap our fingers and make that happen as long as we ask nicely... Again, completely naive. I'm sorry, but both Jill Stein and Trump don't know WTF they're talking about. One is an activist who has zero experience in anything especially foreign policy and the other is a moron.
    2
  2882. Paul van de Loo What does the CPI have to do with productivity? Do you think that people who measure productivity are somehow unaware of inflation? It's not some kind of economic secret.

  2884. Another sensationalistic study about men & women confirming what people already knew about men and women.
    2
  2885. No, people get confused by this, but it's simple.  "Not believing" is not the same as asserting that something is false.  For example, If you tell me you haven't told a single lie in the past year.  I don't necessarily believe that, yet I don't have enough knowledge to say for certain that you did lie.  Hence the word "agnostic" literally means "without knowledge".  It's not the same as atheist which asserts that no deities exist.  Which is not the same as simply having no belief.
    2
  2886. ***** 1. They are introducing a bill to punish a particular organization.  Sounds exactly like a bill of attainder to me.  The Republicans tried the same thing with Acorn. 2. pointless straw man argument.

    2
  2889. Rebel Infidel Pay attention, we're not talking about you, we're talking about the kid.  All I'm saying is that the odds are that some kid that is taught to respond with violence in a family that doesn't respect the law is more likely to grow up violent.   People can think it's cute all they want, I'm just keeping it real.
    2
  2890. Sounds like bullshit to me....   Seems like maybe her boss "joked" that he could track her anytime, but was probably not actually doing it.  Then she decided to turn it into a lawsuit after getting fired.   Do you seriously think her boss cared how fast she was driving?  Really?
    2
  2891. nicocomerci "how is it possible to have democracy without parties?" The founders did not envision parties to have of major role in our democracy.  In fact they thought the creation of "factions" within the government would be a destructive force.  So therefore they no provisions for parties in our constitution (like in other western democracies that came later), but at the same time they had no clue how to prevent them from forming.  One could make an argument for parties at a time when literacy was low and communication took forever.  However today and for a very long time parties have been nothing more than marketing agencies for politicians.  They don't serve the people, they serve to get politicians elected.   There have been "progressives" in the republican party (Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower) as well as Democratic party.  The Democratic party not to long ago was for the racist, at the same time Republicans didn't care about religion. In other words PARTIES CHANGE according to what is "marketable" for politicians and demographics of voters.   Then they proceed to demonize each other with fake wedge issues while the people get fooled by constant propaganda and voting based on "D" or "R" instead of on the actual issues. Politicians will take stances they don't believe in just to support their party..  Psychologically people will justify their party because of our inherent tribalism. We spend BILLIONS of dollars on nonsense spin without ever voting on the actual issues.  It is a huge source of waste and an even larger source of corruption that will continue as long as we keep supporting it.   In the age of 100% literacy, internet, etc. we don't need parties to tell us who to vote for.  It's an antiquated idea that needs to die that only serves to brainwash the masses.

  2892. Grzegorz Durda It's called "pointing out hypocrisy". They have a problem with immigrants living amongst each other, meanwhile they are doing the same thing. Get it?
    2
  2893. Grzegorz Durda This is where you are completely hypocritical: Pointing out that other races living together is not a problem, however pointing out that white people are living together apparently is a problem. You seem to be projecting your own racial issues onto me. I was simply pointing out their hypocrisy, because they are doing the exact thing they are criticizing others are doing. You on the other hand are basically saying it's okay for white people to live together yet it is an issue if non-white people do. If you agree with their position then you are guilty of the same hypocrisy I was pointing out.
    2
  2894. Grzegorz Durda The fact that something like that is important to you reveals your mindset. Instead of arguments and perspectives you would rather put me into some kind of a category. It seemed as if you were projecting your own issues before, but now it is pretty obvious. All you need to know is that I was born and raised in this country and as I said I have spent my life bouncing between different cultures. It's natural for people to band together. White people will band together, black people will band together, asians will band together. You have "country" cultures, hip hop cultures, hipster cultures. What you don't do is pretend that your culture is somehow the standard for america when it isn't. Middle america isn't the standard, BBQ isn't the standard, hotdogs and baseball games isn't the standard. The people in the video think that their culture and the people they surround themselves with is the standard, but they are completely wrong. This country is and has always been a melting pot... You either get that or you don't. You don't look at someone else's culture and pretend that just because they don't act like you or eat the same foods that you do that they are somehow not american or trying to change the country. Because THAT is un-American. You don't go on about "Sharia Law" nonsense while ignoring the fact that millions of evangelical Americans and many politicians in office are calling for "biblical law". That is hypocritical.
    2
  2895. +Artbug The idea is that racism is systemic and institutionalized whereas bigotry is relates to an individual. So a black man can harass a white man and vice versa because of their own bigotry but the systemic issues which effect a person of a certain race are much larger than a single altercation. I'm not sure I entirely agree with that definition because I think there are more nuances than that. However I like to understand things rather than just being some judgmental troll.
    2
  2896. And the reason why you know about it is because he talked about those problems during the primary.... Furthermore you don't understand "irony". Do you think it's impossible for anyone in the US to be anti-war while the US is bombing 7 countries? Or maybe it's possible to support a party for some reasons while at the same time being critical of them for other reasons.
    2
  2897. +LimitedSpartan You do realize that there are more gay people than trans people right? You are far more likely to be in the bathroom with someone of the same sex who is homosexual. Meanwhile there isn't an epidemic of gay people peeping in on you is there? People fall for these bullshit fear tactics too easily....

  2898. Danny Hurren  Find me a single clip where TYT is criticizing Alex Jones on the topic of militarization of the police.  In fact here's a clip where TYT is talking about the same topic 3 years ago: @watch?v=fhUrai9b5IoYou have no clue of what you're talking about.

    2
  2903. But you don't understand Thom, he said "Creator" once.....   ;-)
    2
  2904. The other way to read this poll is that Trump is just simply more well known by republican voters at this point. He's been campaigning and winning for about 8 months now and constantly on the news vs Paul Ryan has been missing in action until recently. I suspect if you would have similar polls if it were Nancy Pelosi vs Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
    2
  2905. Trump would win that too. The only people who give a shit about Reagan are politicians.

  2907. daheat0627  No, "drop your weapon" is what you say to someone who you want to drop their weapon.  Doesn't matter if it is pointed at you or "coming out of a waistband" which is a common excuse to kill people indiscriminately on the street, because it cannot be proven.  The fact that over the years this has become a common and excepted excuse to gun people down and treat lives like garbage is just a sad reflection on our society.  Understand that police in other countries do not kill indiscriminately like this even when criminals are armed.   This is a US phenomena that has become accepted in our country just because of the prevalence of guns.   Killing someone immediately who you don't even know has a gun or any real intention of killing you or anyone else, just means you don't respect the life of that person.  Meanwhile you have white guys expressing their 2nd amendment rights waving around guns who are immediately given the benefit of the doubt as to whether they are really dangerous or not.

  2908. You are a perfect example of the problem of Fox News and constant disinformation.

  2909. SteadFast nEasy Just regurgitating the bullshit you've heard doesn't make it true. Again, claiming that all of Islam is a political system is just as dumb as claiming that all of Christianity is a political system just because of the papacy and pretty much every European monarch in history including during and after the Roman empire.. And pretending that the 7th century has anything to do with the political climate today in all of Islam is just as stupid as thinking that the Christians today have anything to do with the crusades and the 2 MILLION or so people who were murdered because of it. And yes there was lots of raping too. But hey those were white people and of course when atrocities happen with white people in the name of religion it has nothing to do with anything happening today right? However when it comes to Muslims it's all because of their "heritage" right? You think you're being smart with your bigotry but you're really not....

  2910. Trump is going to lose to Hillary and then blame it on her being a woman. Trump doesn't really want to be president.

  2911. Starting multiple wars in the region as opposed to treating AlQaeda as criminals was undoubtedly the start of this country's hatred of Muslims. That's what wars do.

  2914. Alex Jones wannabe.... Same batshit crazy logic. 1. George Soros may have indirectly donated money once so therefore the entire movement is orchestrated by him and the people are there because George Soros bought them food, because obviously they're too poor to afford food on their own. Wow... 2. Claims that 40K people have died from radical Islam yet how many of those people have died in the US? like 5 maybe? How is that a bigger threat than police who kill over a THOUSAND each year?
    2
  2915. Winston York Sinead M PrussianEngineer john america  ***** I find it truly sad that your entire identity and sense of worth is based on the color of your skin... So much so, that simply having people with different color skin breeding or migrating is somehow offensive to you guys.  The reason why you cannot cite any real oppression is because none actually exists...  Certainly not anywhere near the actual bias/oppression of minorities that is backed by facts and many scientific studies. What you are doing is nothing more than making a sad attempt at "playing the victim" because of a primitive sense of misplaced tribalism.  There are REAL problems and REAL suffering in this world that doesn't involve a group of people pathetically whining that there aren't  more humans with similar skin tone concentrated in one area.
    2
  2916. Kyle, you're way oversimplifying things.... 1. This isn't the Cuban missile crises. Not even close. 2. Most of these countries do not share a border with Russia. 3. We do have obligations to our allies in NATO. 4. War is unacceptable, but sanctions don't exactly solve everything. 5. Let's not pretend that ever every deployment of troops somehow means that war is around the corner. And these are special forces not the entire army. The situation is complicated. The US is not trying to annex Mexico or Canada. If it was I'm pretty sure that other countries would try to stop that. So please stop suggesting that Russia will magically play nice with it's neighbors if we just sanction them really hard. It's not like anyone wants war with Russia, but saying that anyone who disagrees with you is a "hack" is getting old. People can have differing opinions and not want WW3. Sanctions also led to WW2 however no one claims that just because you want sanctions it means that you want WW3.

  2919. So.... the media should have hacked the DNC or the RNC? The media should have hacked ONLY Clinton's email (and not Trump's) just so we could see the Clinton campaign's private conversations, but not Trump's? You're making a nonsense point. Instead of arguing what this guy said you're going on a soap box about other issues that are not related to what the guy said AT ALL.

DarthCipient  If you don't try to understand how or where this radicalization or mindset comes from then you are really are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.  These guys are already talking about how this is revenge for a lot of the indiscriminate killing in Yemen and Syria which they blame France for. Al Qaeda has been targeting France for a long time because of it's involvement in various conflicts in the middle east. This attack was not about a single person or a cartoon it was clearly a revenge killing by people who were radicalized by Al Qaeda's propaganda.  So they justify killing a bunch of people by pointing out cases where French troops killed civilians or how they provide arms to certain groups that go on do heinous things.  It's not much different than how we in the US justify drone strikes, torture, and war because of 911.
    2
  2921. DarthCipient When you realize that violence and mental instability are linked to a multitude of environmental factors (conflict, inequality, poverty, family, heavy metals, etc.) It kind of does matter.  I just think at some point as a species we're going to have to think beyond "those people are evil bastards" and start understanding how societies (and our own actions) foster this kind of aberrant behavior and what we can do to mitigate it.  Not understanding the history just means we're doomed to repeat it.

  2922. Sorry Cenk but the Rahm Emanuel thing would be way too muddy for the average voter. It would sound like Bernie is just slinging mud and just reaching for something to bash Clinton with... There are far better things that are clear that he could go after her with.
    2
  2923. What's wrong with changing the rules to include more people in a way that doesn't hurt the game or other players? I'm not sure what the outrage is about exactly. Seriously what's wrong with you people?
    2
  2924. TheDarkie12 There are protesters there actually, but maybe there aren't as many protesters because they aren't saying hateful things? Your comment is like saying "I don't see many fire fighters at your house". When the house is not on fire.
    2
  2925. TheDarkie12 Well then you just agreed with what I said. There are protesters and she doesn't say hateful things.
    2
  2926. TheDarkie12 It's not subjective when the protests are based on actual policies that Trump has stated he wants to implement. Such as banning Muslims, deporting millions of immigrants, bringing back torture and doing worse than what we did under the Bush administration, targeting civilians and the families of suspected terrorists. If you say that is "subjective" then you're being disingenuous.
    2
  2927. TheDarkie12 Uh, no because: 1. it's not the "legal" immigrants who are raising the issue. In fact many legal immigrants have illegal friends and relatives who are technically "illegal" for a variety of reasons, not because they are bad people. Demonizing them all as if they're all in the same category is hateful. 2. banning an entire race or religion is the first step of a bigot not a reasonable person. There is a history in Germany of treating an entire religion/ethnic group as suspects and it's not pretty,... Furthermore it displays a profound ignorance of our current immigration policies to pretend as though we don't already have very complex screening methods for for terrorists. Spreading this ignorance is the same as spreading xenophobia and hate. You would think that people would have learned this lesson from history but apparently not.
    2
  2928. If it was a white guy in a suit suspected of embezzling investment funds I doubt they would have tackled a random white guy in a suit. Perhaps race wasn't the only factor or not a factor at all, but it's clear the police had little respect for the person they suspected. Maybe they should wait for people to actually run before attacking them based on a suspicion.
    2
  2929. stylz1 The problem with you and clueless people like you, is that you don't understand that movies are a business and involve multiple levels of management, a huge workforce, unions, etc.  No it's not just a bunch of actors and a director getting together and deciding to be "artsy" one day.

  2930. Like all con artists the GOP prays upon the ignorant in order to get rich. Trump was qualified to be the GOP nominee because he's had the most experience conning people through various scams throughout his life.

  2931. Luther Trigo That's the whole point,.... Without a trial you don't know if they are thugs or not..
    2
  2932. Marven Jay Lagumbay I did give a solution. I didn't say the situation was easy. I know it isn't, but advocating indiscriminate violence and murder is not an answer. Supporting gangs of people on motorcycles that go around shooting people they don't like is not an answer. Relying on a sign on a dead body to tell you if someone is guilty or not is not an answer. Killing people because there name is on a list without ever having a trial, is not an answer. Those gangs have a way of turning into militias and rebellions later.... Also Davao City is still one the highest for rape and crime despite Duterte's efforts. The reality is is that crime and drug addiction is almost always an economic issue and not a "kill as many criminals that I can find" issue. Fix the economic problems and crime will go down as well,
    2
  2933. Let's just agree that people should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want and not be forced by the state or other citizens to wear something different. Comparing a head scarf to slavery is just dumb on so many levels.
    2
  2934. Leesa Michaels Sigh....  Let's try this again shall we? I said:  "Meat is NOT unhealthy. Unhealthy meat is unhealthy." Then you said:   "There’s now a large body of evidence that bowel cancer is more common among people who eat the most red and processed meat." What part of your own statement do you not understand?  Specifically the part where "red meat and processed meat" does not equal ALL meat? One criticism that I've always had of that study is that they don't distinguish between red meat that is grass fed vs stuff grown in a factory farm which has a different protein and fat profile.  And like any large animal toxins from the environment can build up in their system Furthermore there is a lot of chemicals (specifically nitrates and nitrites) that go into processed meat.  These chemicals have been known carcinogens for a long time.  So to say that meat itself is the problem is absurd.  Not even the scientists who did the study made that claim.  They are simply showing the correlation. Humans and pre-humans have evolved over  millions of years eating meat. So it's kind of silly to say that all meat is suddenly bad for people rather than the type of meat and how it is raised.  Though there is something to be said for eating more smaller game animals rather than big cows.
    2
  2935. Leesa Michaels It is well documented that vegetarians can easily develop a B12 deficiency which can cause a lot of irrational behavior and reasoning. I have friends who are vegan and this is a real issue.  So If you happen to be a vegan please be sure you are getting enough B12.   http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/vitamin-b12-deficiency-can-be-sneaky-harmful-201301105780

  2939. Bambi .On Toast We didn't know what Obama would do after he was elected, we just hoped based on his rhetoric and as I said his corporate leanings and huge Wall St contributions were pretty clear in 2008. However he didn't get any hate for it. I would say that she is slightly further to the right on foreign policy, but no different domestically. Obama pretty much proposed the same healthcare plan Clinton proposed in the 2008 primary. No the best case scenario is that Clinton would be the next FDR. What most people don't realize is that FDR was basically establishment when he was elected (had name recognition, came from a wealthy family, considered a moderate, and also really hawkish). The thing about FDR is that he wasn't afraid to wield power and wasn't afraid to do what was necessary. The same could be said about Clinton. Who looks up to Lyndon Johnson who was another president that was good at wielding power. Not saying that this is likely to happen, but it is the best case scenario. It's a scenario that people don't ever consider. A president who can be pushed by the people through polls and isn't afraid to wield power could end up being a decent president.
    2
  2940. There is no evidence of "bribery" with the Clinton Foundation. Bernie is right, focus should be on the issues and what Clinton is going to do on those issues. Kyle... The US has been up Saudi Arabia's ass for like 50 years. I'm sorry but it's really incredibly dumb to think that the Clinton Foundation is why they got a weapons deal as oppose to the HUNDREDS OF OTHER TIMES we've sold weapons and support to Saudi Arabia.
    2
  2941. Girish Seshan Look at what you just said... You agree that the US has been up the Saudi's ass for decades yet somehow this ONE weapons deal out of a hundred is all because of the Clinton Foundation? Really guys? Do firemen cause fires too? As if the secretary of state has the authority to do a MILITARY WEAPONS DEAL deal with any country they want to at any time without the input of the President or the Joint Chiefs Is this seriously what you guys think? The vitriol & conspiracy here has seriously become the level of Alex Jones. Yeah she's got some influence from Wall St and the healthcare lobby, but fucking hell guys.... You're really starting to go off the deep end with the Hillary Hate.

  2942. Bobby Joe Zuckerberg had nothing to do with Twitter or Google so....
    2
  2943. LOL... you're guilty of the same thing Kyle.... You spent months drawing false equivalences between Hillary's corruption and Trump's corruption. After you were butt-hurt that Bernie didn't win you spent video after video. Pretending as if the "appearance" of possible corruption with the Clinton Foundation (even though it has an A rating from two charity monitoring organization) is the same as Trump's actual corruption. You pretended as if the couple scandals with Hillary was the same as the dozens of scandals with Trump. You spent far more time talking about Hillary's emails, DNC leaks, and the Clinton Foundation than you did on actual policy.
    2
  2944. ***** 1. She was far more consistent with her policies than Trump ever has been. 2. Trump was already fined twice for misdealing with his foundation. They even admitted recently that it was guilt of "self dealing" the foundation is not even rated because it doesn't meet the criteria to even get rated as a charity. whereas the Clinton Foundation has an A rating from both Charity Watch and Charity Navigator and people only think there could be impropriety without and specific evidence. Not to mention all of the other cases of fraud with Trump's businesses. It's a complete false equivalence.

  2945. Ouch....

  2947. 02Nawal Sorry but you are seriously ignorant if you believe that.
    2
  2948. I have no problems with "Not Our President". Trump lost the popular vote by close to 2 million votes. So It's not like you're being "anti-democratic" by saying that you're standing up against a system which allowed Trump to happen.

  2950. Hannity didn't enter propaganda he was born in it, molded by it. He didn't see the truth until he was already a man, by then it was nothing to him but blinding.
    2
  2951. Unfortunately "getting money out of politics" is a nice idea but a near impossible proposition as long as money controls every aspect of our lives. The difference between now and a 100 years ago is that money/corruption was far more direct. There was no radio, satellite, internet, TV, cable, nor a huge marketing and media industry able to manipulate hundreds of millions of citizens in a matter of hours....  Nor was their the huge financial industry able to hide and profit off money itself in an absurd number of ways. As long as money represents power and influence in our society, people will continue to collude for their own benefit (profit) and we will always have these issues.

    2
  2954. I can't imagine that Democratic politicians would do this more than Republican ones. I'ts just that we've had a Democratic administration for 8 years, you've been only involved in progressive media, and we've only had emails leak from DNC and not the RNC. Fox News, Limbaugh, etc. have always had marching orders from the GOP.

  2955. Let's not forget Mike Pence who openly says that he wants to be the next "Dick Cheney"......
    2
  2956. There is nothing to understand about satanic cults Cenk.... There is no logic. There is no such thing as a Satanic Bible, etc.  These are people with mental issues who want to think about "evil" things.  So they fabricate what they think is "evil" based on what they see on TV, movies, etc..
    2
  2957. ClanAllta An atheist looking to get attention in the 60's by calling his philosophy "Satanism" is not the same thing as a satanic bible. No one is actually worshiping Satan like Cenk is depicting in this clip.
    2
  2958. Remember those "terrorist threat levels" (yellow, orange, etc.) that were proven to be absolute bullshit yet conveniently announced whenever there was a Bush Whitehouse scandal or those fake thwarted "terrorist attacks" where when investigated revealed that the people arrested were not even capable of committing those acts? Yeah the GOP has been doing that bullshit for a long time, no wonder they think everyone else does it.

  2962. +x0men The fact is no one calculates how fast thy can get from SF to LA, they use their phones to do so which are far more informed on distance, road speeds, traffic, and driving conditions than any person would ever be. Critical thinking is important and using math as a tool to train that is fine for some. However deriving equations is only important if you're getting a job in academics or sciences. The vast majority of people do not ever need to.
    2
  2963. At the same time it's kind of ridiculous how we've allowed airlines to categorize us into "classes" and make us feel so privileged to board early. As if it was really worth it to delay the entire flight just because this woman didn't know her place.
    2
  2964. +Orwell's Hood - "Cenk is a product of trickle down economics, if it were middle out he'd never have gotten that 4 mill to start TYT as the investor wouldnt have had it to invest..." 1. TYT existed 12 years before that investment. So claiming that an investment 3 years ago somehow made TYT or Cenk, is an outright lie. Cenk ran TYT on a shoestring budget for many years and turned that into the online media empire that it is today. Cenk/TYT also raised millions online from their viewers through several indigogo campaigns to expand the studio and hire additional staff. So pretending that an investment after all of that somehow made the difference is rather absurd. 2. It was a firm ran by Buddy Roamer that made the investment. Not the guy himself. That firm could have countless investors for all we know. 3. Your logic here is that because only the very wealthy have disposable income to invest in companies therefore it is a better system? Did you ever think that if the middle class was much larger and wealthier (through better wages) then those people, which represents a much larger population, would have disposable income to not only invest in startups through online indegogo campaigns but also invest in small businesses online and in their own communities through the additional products and services that they buy? This is the problem with you people.... You take a single factoid and pretend that it represents a macro issue when it doesn't. The fact is scientifically speaking research clearly shows that societies that are more equal economically have better outcomes. The countries and societies that are less equal are called 3rd world countries. You can find examples all over the world of 3rd wold counties where most of the population is poor, but is ruled by a handful of rich people. This doesn't magically result in those rich people investing into that country.
    2
  2965. Venezuela is nowhere near #1 in income equality according to the World Bank. Inequality in Venezuela is just above that in the US which is also quite high when you compare it to Denmark, Norway, & Sweden. So either you're lying (which I'm not sure what you would hope to gain since it's easy to look up the numbers) or someone was lying to you, in which case you need better sources.
    2
  2966. The government does have an incentive to quell waste. It's called democracy. We are the shareholders of our government, that is exactly what the founders of this country intended, but if the government is corrupt then we are not the shareholders the corporations and the oligarchy are. If you have the attitude of sitting back and not doing anything about it while you get robbed blind then that is not something I can agree to. I would rather fight and push for campaign finance reform and against rulings like Citizens United, Buckley v Valeo, and corporate person-hood rather than just giving up. Which is why I will only support candidates who share those positions.
    2
  2967. I really don't care about whether something is "Keynesian", "socialist", or "capitalist" or not. That's the nonsense that you guys have been indoctrinated with. Everything has to have a damn label.... And you have to be for or against that label. What I care about whether something WORKS or not. And if I can see the data either historically or in other countries that a certain policy WORKS then that's what I will lean towards. That's why I can be for single payer or free college education and against the trillions spent on the drug war or wars in the middle east. It has nothing to do with a label or "big vs small government" It has to do with results. period.
    2
  2968. It's easy to say what you would have snapped back with when you're sitting in your comfy chair behind a camera and video editing software.... You're not on stage sitting in front of thousands broadcasting to millions. Not everyone is Bernie sanders, and he's one of the few people I know (perhaps the only one) that could make a quick comeback on policy like most of the time and EVEN HE floundered a few times during the debates with Hillary.
    2
  2969. If you are rich, or even slightly well off, you can be completely isolated from the struggles that effect poor and middle class minorities.  You're even sheltered from institutional racism to a large extent.   So I wouldn't say it's the same as being conservative and gay, because at least black people can marry....
    2
  2970. A black guy was shot dead doing the exact same thing a few months ago... He wasn't a murder suspect, he didn't even touch the officer. All he did was take a couple steps towards the cop and was killed right there on the spot.
    2
  2971. Yeah because some random dude getting arrested is the same as a world famous celebrity getting away with rape for 50 years. Who built his entire career on a wholesome image and lecturing the black community on values.
    2
  2972. Cody Leonard He was accused of a crime, was arrested for it, and there's going to be a trial. Sooo.... What's your point exactly? I've never heard of the guy until this comment and I seriously doubt you have either. Yet somehow a guy getting arrested for a crime should be headline news in your opinion just because the guy was an activist in BLM. An Uber driver was arrested for shooting at police officers the other day to. Should we talk about Uber now because of that?
    2
  2973. Again, none of you have heard of this guy before today. Again, he was arrested for crime and will face a trial for it. In other words, since apparently I need to spell it out for you, there is no "injustice" as justice is being served. Again an Uber driver was arrested the other day for shooting at police is it somehow Uber's fault? You need to understand what "false equivalence", clearly you guys don't. All you see is some loose association with BLM, something which has absolutely nothing to do with the movement or message behind BLM and suddenly it's "OMG! it should be front page news! Everyone in BLM and TYT should personally apologize for what some guy allegedly did! omg! Scandal!" It's pretty pathetic actually. You don't expect anything out of Uber for a crazy driver, yet somehow you expect TYT to talk about some guy (that you've never heard about before today) just because he was an activist in BLM. sad....
    2
  2974. Racist Logic: If I tell a kid who's failing math that learning math is important. Then that must automatically mean that I think all other subjects are not important. People who purposely don't understand why people say "black lives matter" either don't understand the problem or refuse to acknowledge it.
    2
  2975. Well Kyle, not everyone is you. Not everyone is a young male. To some people the ad will resonate. Particularly families, women, etc. There is a large part of the population (including Republicans) who hate trump precisely because he's un-presidential.

  2978. The guy clearly had mental issues.  I have a feeling that if someone's mother, father, brother, etc. had a mental break down and started screaming with a knife that they would want police to do everything possible to subdue their loved one rather than fill them full of holes.

  2986. pbhello Well you could easily put that into the context of attraction.  If I feel attracted to a male or a female.  What traits or combination of traits makes me attracted to that gender?  Conversely if I "feel" like a woman or a male what traits or combination of traits constitutes that feeling of identity.  You could create a test to determine how strongly one identifies as that gender or how strongly one is attracted to that gender.  I'm sure many such tests do exist, but at the end of the day it's a subjective experience based on ones own feelings and reactions.  Then the question is do these feelings and reactions come from birth or are they learned?  I think the answer is that although there are a certain percentage of people who through some kind of trauma or psychological damage can be confused over their sexuality and gender for the most part people are born that way. I think humans can naturally fall between the spectrum of sexuality and gender identity. Women are especially prone to bisexual tendencies and you can also have women who are tomboys and men who are effeminate.  I think some kind of psychological trauma could push someone who naturally falls somewhere along the spectrum of sexuality and gender identity to one side or another.  Children who are born hermaphrodite can probably better adapt to whatever gender the doctor decides on if mentally they fall somewhere along the spectrum of gender identity. However those who are born with a more black and white outlook on their sexuality and gender can be effectively be born in a body that is different than their mental state of sexuality or one's perception of their own gender. Adapting to sexuality is far easier than adapting to self perception without surgery. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

  2987. When Hillary gives a speech to Goldman Sachs she's "crooked" yet when Trump hires Goldman Sachs to run our economy, it's "being smart".... I can't believe how blind and gullible Trump supporters are.

  2990. Megan Parish, I don't think you understand what the word "debunked" means. From the link you posted: --"While questions about CrowdStrike’s findings don’t disprove allegations of Russian involvement, they do add to skepticism voiced by some cybersecurity experts and commentators about the quality of their technical evidence." Understand that someone being skeptical and asking questions about the data is not the same as something being "debunked". This is just as silly as the people who deny climate change because they found a few blogs questioning the science. The investigation is real, you have both democrats and republicans calling for a thorough investigation. They are not idiots, they are not making things up, it isn't somehow a grand conspiracy that the DNC is orchestrating in secret. You are doing yourself and this country a disservice by simply dismissing the evidence for bullshit reasons.
    2
  2991. It's really sad how the conversation devolves into how bad xyz religion is. As if somehow if banning xyz religion or saying "xyz religion is bad" will somehow make violence and extremism go away. The reality is the extremist who are created from violent systems only feed off your blind hate. Meanwhile you only alienate the vast majority of moderates. It is really sad how a handful of hateful people have managed to completely change this country.
    2
  2992. rubyred russet The first two are due to Debbie Wassermann Schultz and various democratic party state leaders around the country not directly related to Hillary at all. Like I said, I like Jill Stein, but she's an activists not a leader. She simply has a reputation for perpetually running for various offices and never governing anything. Yeah it's about corruption, but as I've said before just because a kid with a learners permit has never been sponsored doesn't automatically make him a great race car driver. Thanks to Bernie Sanders the current democratic part platform is against citizens untied and for getting money out of politics. That goes for Hillary as well. Even if Jill Stein got elected (which is impossible) she would have zero support and zero infrastructure for changing anything. Whereas Hillary has enormous support and knows how to weld power. Keep in mind that FDR was known as the establishment/moderate candidate until he came into office. The reality is there is zero chance that Jill Stein will have enough support to win anything or even come close to winning anything in less than 2 months. Sanders had millions of dollars and several debates and even he couldn't catch up in the end. Gary Johnson has much more support and even he has zero chance even if the Koch Brothers get behind him. We don't have a system of "proportional representation" like some other governments have. So a vote for a 3rd party at this stage is basically throwing away your vote. Since I'm not in a swing state I have the luxury of voting in protest, but it's really a meaningless cop out.

  3006. I disagree. Hillary Clinton HAS BEEN PUNISHED which is why she changed all of her positions in order to keep from getting defeated by Sanders. If it wasn't for movements like Occupy and people taking a constant stand against money in politics, 99%, etc. Then people like Elisabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders would not be as popular as they are today. You have to do BOTH Cenk because of the political climate doesn't change and local and federal politicians are not held accountable then your amendment is also GOING NOWHERE....

  3009. They weren't exactly popular when they first started speaking out against the Iraq War either. Truth is not always popular when it's not what you want to hear.

  3010. Lack of denial of what exactly? Do you even know what you're arguing? Too many people don't understand what "evidence" is. It's no different than the Russia thing with Trump.
    2
  3011. Deny what exactly? What was "true"? You pretend as if mentioning "Wikileaks" is an actual argument for something and you sound completely incoherent.

  3012. First off he spent most of the video talking about the media covering it. Secondly he was hired to investigate stories not comment on them. Cenk has covered the story plenty. We need someone who can dive into the details, break down the evidence, and uncover more aspects to the story. If he spent half the energy as he did on HRC emails then we would have that by now.
    2
  3013. Bottom line is you're not going to find anything if you don't even try. There are MANY aspects to the Russia story and Jordan hasn't even given a damn about any of it. Years later he may be kicking himself when someone else does the legwork breaks what could be the biggest story of our lifetime while he did nothing but sit around being pretentious.

  3014. The English language is fluid, many terms have been redefined over the years. So it's not beyond the realm of reason that an increased reliance on digital/virtual technology would lead to redefining terms used in the physical realm.

  3015. Michael P It's pretty clear trend that any video on white privilege automatically get's disliked no matter what the content is. The subject is enough.
    2
  3016. Michael P All you have to do is look at all the previous videos that cover white privilege or race relations and you can see the trend.  Yes, you can never know why a single individual is liking or disliking, however when you see an over arching trend across many videos on the same topic then it is entirely possible to theorize general sentiments and motivations.

  3017. No Kyle you're completely misrepresenting Thom's position on the SCOTUS... Thom's point is that we shouldn't give unlected officials (who can't be voted out of office) the power to strike down laws coming from a democratic process (the people). The government then becomes more of a constitutional monarchy than a republic. If the SCOTUS is based on who is "liberal" or "conservative" then it's not functioning based on interpreting law it's based on politics. If that's the case then those officials should be elected by the people not given lifetime power and authority that is based on what thy feel like that week and is not accountable to the people.

  3018. FunWithTreason Families, spouses, & friends exchange money all the time. Exchanging money doesn't make it a business relationship because there is no "businesses" here other than the landlord. That's like saying splitting the bill when you go out to eat or drink with friends is a business relationship. The restaurant or bar doesn't care who is sharing the table or what agreements were made at that table just that they get paid for their services. And your last statement is nothing more than a straw man. I've already said that as a POC seeing an ad like this would immediately turn me off.... It would also turn me off if I saw it on a dating profile as well, because it implies that the person is a bit close minded. At the same time I wouldn't call it illegal or racist, just close minded and discriminatory.

  3021. Daily News Mysteries I'm from the US and in this country we had founding fathers and the many who came after them who spent many years fighting for public schools.  They faced people like you who were backwards thinkers and didn't know why children, especially poor children, should get "free education".   However because of those forward thinkers things like illiteracy is something of the past in this country.  The reason why you can even understand what I'm writing today is because of these same efforts that you're shitting on....   You see some people understand that when you invest in a country (it's people) you get better outcomes.  Today the education requirements for most jobs are much higher than they used to be.  Pretty much the only job you can get out of high school is in the service industry.  Now it would make sense to make sure that all kids have an equal opportunity to improve themselves regardless of their situation.  It would make sense to invest in the next generation of scientist, engineers, and inventors.  However it doesn't seem like you're interested in doing anything that makes sense, but rather come up with idiotic and simplistic generalizations like "free stuff".

  3025. Crying amongst a close nit group is one thing. Crying in front of a video camera and then posting it all over the internet for promotion is another. Part of martial arts is controlling one's emotions. Not necessarily holding everything in, but being able to channel things in a constructive way. There are places for laughing and crying. a dojo is not one of them. You wouldn't teach kids to do that in the middle of class or a business meeting would you? So why should a dojo be any different? I don't care if it's a girl or a boy. Kids also need to learn how to suck it up in the right situations. That is an important skill to learn.

  3030. Yeah kinda....  I'm black with lots of Asian friends, almost all of their parents were racists towards me growing up. Although now many years later some of them treat me like I'm a second son.  I thought about going to Taiwan to teach English and a friend of mine living there who was currently teaching tried for a few weeks to find a job for me but it basically came down to there being a slim to none chance anyone would hire a black guy. Although in Thailand it's the complete opposite, they love black people there for some reason.

  3032. It might be because you don't care about actual policies only meaningless platitudes.
    2
  3033. Frank Genner Like I said, you don't care about policy, you care about reality TV. Which is sad.... The other sad thing is that you don't know that Trump raped his previous wife repeatedly. So you're voting for the actual rapist instead of the wife of an accused rapist. Congratulations on your non-logic.
    2
  3034. Cenk... you claim to be following science but you're not... The problem is that you're confusing religion with socioeconomics and tribalism. There is a reason why you don't hear about terrorism from stable and more equal Islamic countries. There are well documented sociological reasons why violence and revolution get fostered in certain areas. "Following fundamentalism" is not the issue, it's the factors that draw people to follow an extreme form of fundamentalism is the real issue. The mantra that they follow might as well be a star trek novel. This has happened over and over in Germany, China, Italy, etc. Unless you actually follow science rather than blame stories in a book and getting angry over it then you're really guilty of the same bullshit ignorance.

  3036. MasterC2121 I agree with all of that.  All things being equal, If abortion was available and accessible then a man shouldn't be forced to have a child that he doesn't want. However I think those cases are far fewer than when both partners are initially optimistic about having a child and then the man changes his mind later...
    2
  3037. MasterC2121 Well half of all first born children are born out of wedlock.  So you have a lot of girlfriends and boyfriends having to make a quick decision that effects the rest of their lives. Most people are not willing ( or able) to go to court over such a personal decision...  And if you say that a woman has to take full responsibility no matter what happens then that places an unfair burden on women when in reality both parties were responsible for the creation of that child.  We can't live in a society where men can just say "Hey, it's not my problem.  you never took me to court".  That said I do have a friend who got his girlfriend pregnant. He wanted to have as much sex as he could and wasn't thinking clearly (because that's what guys do).  She wanted to have the child no matter what and was willing to take full responsibility for raising the child by herself, because women have much stronger maternal instincts than men.  He wasn't sure he wanted a child or not, but at the same time he would feel like an asshole if he had a child somewhere that he just abandoned. Plus he did care for her.   So he ended up getting married and raising a family.  Things (sort of) worked out, but they could have easily had a falling out before or after the child was born creating a complicated situation that isn't the fault of the child... The point is that when emotions are involved (love, lust, maternal instincts, etc.) these things are never 100% clear....  One can argue that this is just nature finding the best way it can to procreate.

  3038. So would Ana think that there should be consequences if they were just talking about this stuff in a locker room and someone just overheard it? Because that's pretty much what happened.
    2
  3039. Stephanie L, Ana does get it, but for some reason she's pretending that she doesn't. She voted for Hillary, but at the same time she's trying to give cover to those in the "Bernie or Bust" crowd who she clearly doesn't agree with. It's like she's trying to maintain her "street cred" with the hardcore Bernie supporters instead of defending her real position.
    2
  3040. She didn't answer the question...... again. Then deflecting by pretending as if questioning her "plan" automatically makes someone a shill for Hillary seriously degrades her credibility.
    2
  3041. The caller is absolutely right... Anytime you make a state based on a religion or an ethnic group you're inviting bigotry and oppression. At this point I don't see how a "two state solution" is going to solve anything. It's not like they're going to magically stop hating each other and make peace. No... More than likely the rockets will continue because the Palestinians will get the short end of the stick on ANY two state deal and the right wing of Israel will continue to look for excuses to invade. The world needs to stop supporting theocratic nations in ALL FORMS whether they're Jewish, Islamic, or Christian. It only leads to violence, death, and ignorance. Tribalism is nothing more than primitive nonsensical thought.
    2
  3042. charlidog2 Leggo My Ego   Yeah that's the sad part.  I even changed what I wrote to try to be more over the top and make it obvious it was a joke.  But in this culture I can even start talking about aliens and lizard people and still be within the realm of what some of these guys believe. 
    2
  3043. Why are religious people so against nudity? This has always confused me because in the bible, before the fall of man, Adam & Eve were naked and this is seen as what God intended and then after original sin and the fall they become ashamed of their nakedness.  So to me it makes far better sense that Christians would promote the state of man before the fall and thereby promote nakedness and being one with nature (like hippies), but instead they promote the ideas that came after man was corrupted which makes ZERO sense to me. Also when they argue against homosexuality they say it's because people were born with a penis and vagina so therefore God intended those things to go together, but at the same time it's not like people are born wearing clothes...  So why be against nudity?  Although I realize I'm trying to find logic in something that is irrational to begin with...
    2
  3044. The fact is in a winner take all system there are only two choices... That's the whole reason why we have two parties today. It has nothing to do with "gumption", It's just mathematics. The fact is most people wouldn't know WTF Bernie Sanders was if it wasn't for democratic primary. Also Jill Stein is an activist she's not a leader. Just because I agree with her on a lot of issues doesn't mean I think she would be able to do shit if she were president... This whole idea that if we elect the right "messiah" we'll get everything we want is dumb. It doesn't work that way, Like LBJ & FDR (who were also establishment moderates) Clinton knows how to wield power and if she can be pushed in a progressive direction (she already has been pushed during this campaign) she will be able to get a lot of progressive things done. That's why Bernie Sanders has been pushing constantly for a grass roots progressive movement (like the tea party) to push Clinton in the right direction. Bernie Sanders has been doing this as for a long ass time. He's the longest running independent in the history of our country. He's been in this shit for decades. He's not dumb and their is a reason why he thinks supporting Clinton is the best path for pushing through the policies that he wants.

  3046. Yeah there was a period in my life when I was making more money than I am now and it was literally shocking how much money I was saving because I could then afford a decent accountant and write off so much more as  a small  business than I ever could as an employee.  However the reason you don't see many small businesses and multi-national companies starting up in third world countries with little to know taxes is because it takes an effective government creating the  stability and infrastructure for businesses to flourish.  This is something that libertarians just don't get.
    2
  3047. kathy kelly You're simply regurgitating talking points while completely ignoring the context of my comment....   -"You realize how much less regulation and local taxation there was when small businesses were flourishing?"  Exactly what period of time are you referring to?  And what period of time are you comparing it to? Also which "regulations" are you talking about? And how specifically do those "regulations" keep small business from being created?   The way that you guys put all "regulations" in the same bucket as if they all do the same thing and have the same effect is absolutely absurd....   It's a simplistic way of looking at the world that doesn't reflect reality at all. It's as dumb as saying "liquids are bad for you" without qualifying whether you're talking about mercury or water....
    2
  3048. kathy kelly Why don't you explain or qualify your arguments instead of throwing out unsubstantiated comments and expecting others to fill in the gaps?

  3050. Ironic how you take a statement out of context to talk about people being "vindictive" then proceed to make it about Hillary Clinton. Project much? P.S. I'm sure Trump and his supporters won because they're "good people" right?
    2
  3051. Joshua Hester Instead of regurgitating campaign spin and sounding like a drone why not list Hillary Clinton's accomplishments as senator?  Other than supporting military intervention in Iraq that was based on a lie, supporting the TPP (until it became clear that it wasn't popular), supporting a violation of our rights and government overreach with the Patriot Act, and being an avid supporter of wall st and the healthcare insurance industry, exactly what has she accomplished as senator with this "courage" that you speak of? Furthermore it's clear you don't know what the definition of "partisan" is.  In order to be "partisan" you have to be part of a PARTY.  Bernie Sanders has been an INDEPENDENT since 1979.  There is no "partisanship" when for the most part you're a party of 1. The irony here is that you actually WANT a partisan.... You want someone like Hillary who is going to vote based on what is popular within their party at the time and vote for things like DOMA, NAFTA, TPP, Iraq Resolution, Patriot Act, and "evolve" on marriage equality, and skirt the issue of legalizing marijuana.  You want someone who is going to put on a nice show and say they are going to attack those "pesky republicans" meanwhile being just as hawkish on foreign relations and kissing up to the same multinational corporations and Wall St donors. On the other hand I want a LEADER.  Someone who's been ahead of the curve when it comes to equality, civil liberties, preemptive war, marijuana legalization, trade/labor protections, taxation, single payer health care, infrastructure, bank regulation, climate change, green energy, and a slew of other issues many of which he has been talking about consistently for DECADES while Hillary is just now playing catch up... The campaign spin and name recognition might work for you, but it's far too easy for me to see through that bullshit.

  3052. DUME85 | Modded Minecraft Videos  I don't know what poll you're referring to, but it certainly doesn't apply to the Muslims in Turkey, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Jordan, Algeria, etc. There are lots of Muslims in lots of countries to somehow take a poll from a volatile or war torn area and apply it to all Muslims in all countries is pretty unfair.
    2
  3053. DUME85 | Modded Minecraft Videos No, I mean in the pew research that you posted where it shows that the percentage that felt violence against civilians was justified is tiny. This was in every Muslim nation except for the volatile areas like Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories. And it also shows that most of these nations prefer democracy over a theocratic dictatorship, an overwhelming percentage (like around 95%) say that non-Muslims should be able to practice their own faith freely, and that over half of all Muslims are concerned with Islamic Extremism...  Yet somehow you and people like Bill Maher ignore this part of the research and only focus on the one part that make Muslims sound scary.  Why is that?

  3054. Joe Huffman Were there some bad drivers? Of course, but like I said, going from clear to ice in an hour right in the middle of a rush hour pretty much gave no time for people to "get used to" the conditions. 
    2
  3055. Gnomefro  Which is why Atlanta isn't Chicago...   Might as well talk about hurricane preparation for people in South Dakota or flash floods in Las Vegas.  The ice/snow is virtually gone today, it's not something that Atlanta deals with on regular basis or even a yearly basis. I remember when I used to live outside Chicago my family drove down to Florida a time when a freak ice storm  hit the northern part of Florida. Same situation we couldn't drive on the highway... No amount of our "winter experience" or winter tires helped as the freeway just turned to ice.  We could partially use the sides of the road for some traction, but at some point all we could do was get to the side of the road and wait it out...   So it's really not surprising that in a place that does not deal with certain conditions on a regular basis that they are less prepared for it.

  3056. TraceurJulius   The fact is this WAS a complete fabrication.  It's not  me simply dismissing it.  They admitted that it was a complete fabrication meant to fool their viewers.  Although it is painfully obvious when you watch it. I have no problem discussing the possibility of other humanoid species, but using actual research and actual facts.   To make up video footage, hire actors pretending they are scientists, and make up conspiracy theories with the Navy, etc. is disgusting.  This is Trolling and fear mongering not science. Furthermore these networks made a conscious decision several years ago to bring crap programming (pseudo science, reality TV, etc.) to the American audience for ratings.  If you support this garbage you're basically supporting the dumbing down of our society.  It's the same bullshit that makes people think everything is a "conspiracy" in this country.  Which is why the rest of the world thinks we're  idiots on issues like climate change or even evolution. We've lost the ability to think RATIONALLY and it's programs like this which support this mindset.
    2
  3057. TraceurJulius  I explained how your original reply was unclear and easily misunderstood.  If your response to that is "Comprehend everything I say" then I'm sorry that is not being productive.    You have a responsibility to be clear in what you say not expect everyone to read your mind. For example this statement makes no sense: --"Government agency does in fact lie, that's where I didn't make myself entirely clear, I apologize, when it comes to Governments, they would lie virtually about everything in those situations, just as Area 51" I have no idea what you are clarifying here.  I have no idea what you mean by "those situations".  What does "just as Area 51" mean when in the very next statement you say that you don't believe in Aliens?   So what is your point ? You can't simultaneously make assertions  and then feign ambivalence towards the facts.  If you're not commenting on this program (which my comment was specifically about) then what exactly are you arguing here? Yes governments keep secrets (military, testing facilities, etc.).  However that does not suggest they are keeping secrets about other humanoids or alien bodies. Having an open mind means you are open to the facts presented.  It doesn't mean you except every possible made up conspiracy.

  3059. Kasch 1. There is in fact news that is fake. This wasn't something invented, it was reported.. Sites like snoops, politifact, factchecker, etc were created YEARS AGO specfically to combat against fake rumors and fake reports. This isn't somehow something new. It should concern you that your president regularly lies on TV almost daily. If you're trying to normalize lies and fake information, then you're part of the problem in this country. 2. First you say the term "fake news" was invented after the election. Then you say it won Trump the election. You pretty much contradicted yourself there. 3. The MSM didn't win or lose anything. You've brainwashed yourself into thinking that reporting facts that make your candidate look bad means there is something wrong with the reporter instead of your candidate. There are many ways to fact check information. I suggest you do that instead of automatically believing that anything negative is "fake". That's how a child handles things. 4. Alex Jones has in fact reported many false stories. Most of his show is based on making false assumptions. There might be a grain of truth in what he says, but the vast majority of it is just made up. Which is the reason why I stopped listening to his show years ago. He's does nothing but make money off of fabricated fear. If you think Alex Jones is a reliable news sources then I'm sorry but you are grossly misinforming yourself and your on going ignorance is a danger to this country. PLEASE start fact checking yourself and the things that you believe. 5. I'll respond to anything and everything. First off the provision you're referring to is called the: "Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act" It has absolutely NOTHING to do Breitbart, Alex Jones, or other "fake news" sites in the US. It is specifically to counter propaganda and disinformation coming from foreign governments. Why would anyone be against that? Why would you be against that? Do you want people to be manipulated by propaganda from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, or any government? Secondly it was a bi-partisan bill that was introduced and written by a Republican Senator. You pretend as if just because Obama signed it that he personally created the provision. He didn't . The president signs law he doesn't draft it.
    2
  3060. So in other words its facts vs. a made up scenario that never existed.  Let me reiterate...  market forces fueled the need for slavery.  Those same market forces were also behind child labor, sweatshops, indentured servitude, low wages, etc. Furthermore...  slavery STILL exists today because of the HUGE black market in human trafficking.   So when people like you talk about "free markets" you really have no idea what you're talking about.   You ignore the real history and reality of the world for some idealized mythological version of capitalism that has never existed in all of mankind...   It is based on pure nonsense propaganda and its about time you realized that.

  3061. Aeden Summers lol... Oh the Irony. Let's see: 1. The article claims that Charity Navigator hasn't rated the Clinton Foundation. However a quick Google search shows you that that is a complete lie. Charity Navigator gives the foundation a 94.74% rating and 4 out of 4 stars. Charity Watch, a similar charity monitoring organization, gives the Clinton Foundation an "A" rating with only a 12% overhead. 2. Meanwhile the article conveniently doesn't mention the obvious hypocrisy of Trump complaining about other foundations meanwhile his own foundation has admitted to "self dealing" and has been fined multiple times. He has used his foundations funds to buy expensive paintings of himself, sports memorabilia that he's put in his home, to pay the legal fines from his other companies, to donate to political organizations in order to bribe politicians. What do the charity monitoring organizations say about Trump University? NOTHING....Neither Charity Watch NOR Charity Navigator rate the Trump Foundation and they have a page explaining why. LOOK IT UP! lol... Trump complaining about someone else's foundation when his own is a complete SCAM and the foundation itself just admitted to this two weeks ago.... Why doesn't your article mention that? Because it's propaganda. Trump supporters seriously need to inform themselves and get their facts from sources other than Facebook and conservative trash blogs who simply quote from conservative trash tabloids like the NY Post.... This kind of blatant propaganda is a danger to the republic.
    2
  3062. Aeden Summers Yeah I'm not surprised that you're ignorant to facts and don't bother educating yourself. Sorry I don't have time for low information voters who get all of their facts from tweets and sound bites.

  3065. Fay Brewer That's just it....  it doesn't matter how much "we" are upset about the celebrity culture, the fact is there is a huge market for it.  There will always be those interested in an athletes breasts or an actors relationship activity, or babies born to British royalty. Talking about it until we're blue in the face isn't going to change human curiosity about people we are fascinated by.   I can guarantee you that as much as Ana is outraged about this particular story there are some celebrities whose personal lives she does care about...

  3067. poppaDehorn  Like I said, people like you are the reason why rape victims don't come forward.  In other words: "How dare you accuse my idol Bill Cosby of anything wrong?  Obviously he's right and these 40 other women are just liars, scum, and deserve everything they got" What proof are you looking for when to comes to rape?  If one of your family members came to you and said they were raped what "proof" is there exactly? You're seriously not stupid enough to not understand how someone who was the most influential man in black entertainment in Hollywood could keep a few girls who were trying to make it in Hollywood from talking. The fact is if 10 women accused some random homeless guy of rape you wouldn't think twice about his guilt, but because Cosby is a "celebrity" and you think that you know him you give him the benefit the doubt.
    2
  3068. It's easy to say what "could have" been done when you weren't there. The reality is we have no idea what they were dealing with in Congress and Obama isn't king. That said, if Obama was really for it he would have pushed a lot harder for it, bit he obviously wasn't married to the public option since he was easily talked out of it.

  3071. I will say that a lot of offices where people (management who are mostly men) wear business attire will crank up the AC to account for men who wear suits and are a lot of times overweight....  Even as a guy I found my last job cold as shit because of this.  People found it strange that I would wear fingerless gloves all the time because my fingers would get so cold that I couldn't type and use my PC effectively after awhile. If I were a woman I can imagine this being much worse...

  3072. 1.  Clearly you didn't listen to the arguments being made. 2. Civil suits did not prevent people from getting sick from poor food regulations in the early 20th century.  The didn't prevent rampant pollution problems before the EPA, nor did it prevent acid rain.  So your ideas are completely disproven by actual facts and actual history. 3.  Pretending "what would have happened" to the energy industry is an absurd argument.  When in fact the main pushes towards alternative energy  around the world are happening through government efforts.

  3073. ***** Again, you're lying. He was never told not to reach for his wallet. He was shot in the process of complying with the officer who told him to get his license and registration. Again, Why the fuck do you feel compelled to lie in order to justify a guy getting killed? The fucked up think is that you don't even realize that you're doing it. You twist the story in your mind, because the black people must be guilty. This is the justification that comes after cognitive dissonance. Wow... Do you even have any fucking idea why black people feel compelled to record their police interactions? Of course not because you've never felt the fear of being targeted, abused, arrested, or killed simply because of your race. This is called white privilege. The reason why black people record their interactions is specifically because of people like you who will never believe them and never give them justice without a video. They fear for their lives in those situations and live streaming it was a way to protect herself. Why do you think she did it? To get a cool selfie? Fuck dude, you are seriously messed up. Unfortunately even when they DO have a video, fucked up people like you still try to figure out a way of using it against them.

  3074. Mick Gepford Dark Star Transmissions White people are human, they've just been trained to have a subconscious narrative about other groups of people. Historically this narrative was a conscious understanding that other races were inferior because they didn't share the same culture and weren't as advanced in sciences. Now it is more subconscious and is reinforced by the economic mechanisms that have kept other races poor and concentrated that poverty which increased crime and violence. Meanwhile white families have continued to benefit from the conquest and colonization of nearly every country in the world.

  3077. Elem Oki I would be suggesting that the states and areas surrounding the city of Chicago have lax gun laws, making any gun laws in Chicago moot.  Which is not the case in NYC. I would also reference the many studies that have looked at gun laws and gun deaths instead of a long since debunked talking point on Chicago.
    2
  3078. Gaming God Sorry, but you didn't give any information in your first comment only mindless insults which makes you appear stupid.  I've already stated that it is a well known fact that most of the guns in Chicago come from outside Chicago.  Outside the city and outside the state from all the red states surrounding Illinois where gun laws are lax.   http://wgntv.com/2014/09/03/indiana-guns-favorite-of-chicago-gangbangers/

  3082. Carlos E. Sandoval It's a not a random sample dumbass.... Sorry for being insulting, but it's pretty stupid to pretend you're knowledgeable when you clearly don't know the basic premise for ANY kind of statistical analysis on a population. It's what you would learn in 101 statistics... Not knowing that means you don't know the first thing about analyzing probability. It doesn't matter if your sample size is 10 or 10 million if you don't have a random sampling from real people your data is meaningless. It's especially true when all your votes come from people who would visit a conservative or progressive website as well as those who are actually motivated to respond to an online poll, besides the fact that none of the clicks are verified to belong to real people as opposed to a bot.

  3088. matszz  That is exactly what she implied.  Listen from 03:25-03:50  There is absolutely no confusion over what Ana is saying there.
    2
  3089. matszz  Yes it was a paraphrase.  Sorry if I didn't cite correctly in a quick YouTube comment...  However it was not paraphrased out of context nor did I misinterpret her meaning. If you watched the specific area in the clip I referred to it is clear that I did not misrepresent what she said in any way.  She was not referring to his prior statements she was SPECIFICALLY referring to his Asperger's and being diagnosed with in her words a "mental illness". Now it is pretty clear that the kid had other issues besides Asperger's however that is not what I was commenting on....  I was specifically referring to the implication by Ana that being diagnosed with Asperger's or any other form of Autism means that you should not own a gun because you are  more prone to violence. We shouldn't accept or make excuses for ignorant statements just because we happen to like the person making them.
    2
  3090. matszz  I did counter what you said and gave you the exact part of the clip where she made the claim..   However you keep insisting that she meant something different without providing any evidence what so ever.... I think it's obvious from the likes on my original comment and dislikes on this video that people heard the exact same thing I did and I wasn't simply making it up. Furthermore there are several posts from people who actually have Asperger's who are clearly offended by this video....  So you can pretend all you want that what she said was perfectly fine, but it was clearly offensive to a certain group of people.  However to understand that you would need to have empathy for those with autism which apparently you do not.  So if you are unable to put yourself in someone else's shoes then there is nothing more I can do.

  3091. Oh God TYT.... Seriously?  EVERYTHING is a secret government conspiracy to spy on you now?  Since when did TYT turn into Alex Jones.

    2
  3098. I don't see a problem with something that evokes your own imagination no matter what it is. Art itself is a product of imagination. We need more imagination in the world not less. If a blank canvas does that then so be it. So what? Who cares? I'm sure every painter in the world has stared at a blank canvas and gotten meaning from it. All art is subjective. Everything is stone, clay, paint, etc.the materials are worthless, but whether that stature or painting is worth $1 or a million dollars is based on our own perceptions of that work. Do you honestly think that every artist who "works hard" sells their work for the same price? No of course not. You can have an artist spend a year on something and sell it for peanuts and have someone else spend a day and sell it for thousands. It's all based on a subjective perception of value. You know why Einstein was great? Because he had an imagination and spatial awareness that was far bigger than anyone else in the world. He came up with ideas that could not be proven "correct" based on the science at the time, because if you only think in terms of what is "correct" then we don't advance as a species. Sorry Kyle but if you really think like that then you live in a very small world. Imagination is not bullshit, it's how humanity got to where it is today.

  3101. Dee'sNutz. You are accusing me of something which makes you clearly argumentative.  His statement, in the context it was made, was clearly to counter the idea that their is only one body type in porn that people are attracted to. A claim which was never made by anyone at any point.   A "conversation" addresses the original comment and then adds additional thoughts. You both should remember this if you want your ideas communicated clearly in the future.

  3105. wildthunder009 "Common Sense" also tells a person that throwing water on a grease fire is a good idea.  However it is completely wrong.   Instead of relying on "Common Sense" to dictate your opinions on issues.  Why don't you use something like facts and research?....   Pretending your rent increased because of the minimum wage instead of typical reasons like real estate prices,  property tax increases, or neighborhood improvements is rather silly.  The price of food is also dictated by things like energy costs (oil), commodity speculation, and inflation.  Rather than using your "gut" to make decisions a little research goes a long way.  Despite what you have been lead to believe there is no correlation between minimum wage or unemployment and the price of everything isn't somehow directly attached to whatever the current minimum wage is.  Even if some areas experience marginal price increases, the masses with increased buying power more than makes up for it.  The point is to have a stable balance in the economy so that working communities benefit from their efforts and productivity producing better neighborhoods, thriving small businesses, and healthier communities.  Having most of the profits/gains going to an elite few is not good for you or this country and this has been proven over and over in various studies on inequality.

  3106. Honestly I don't see how any of this is any of our business... No one is going to fire the company accountant over some allegations of domestic abuse. That's usually between them and the cops. It has nothing to do with their job unless they get thrown in jail.

  3108. It's not "defending Hillary" it's just that these are apples and oranges arguments. Purposely giving away classified information is different from accidentally storing some of your classified email on a private server which theoretically could be hacked. Giving money to someone's non-profit that gives 90% of it's money to charities and grants and the rest goes largely to pay the salaries of people who WORK THERE or whatever events they hold is different than the Koch Brothers deciding whether a politician HAS A JOB OR NOT because they're funding his campaign or funding his opponents campaign. These are huge differences that you just glossing over and it's forcing people who think logically to defend these illogical claims.
    2
  3109. kathy kelly  Yes war is unsustainable.  No one is denying that.  The business cycle is also a short lived simulative effect.  One can easily argue that one should kick in while the other is in a downswing, However you cannot deny that those government programs did have a positive effect on poverty and the middle class. The reason there was an economic downturn in the 70s is because of the energy crises.  However even after the economy turned around the dwindling of the middle class and the growth of inequality continued because of tax cuts, union busting, free trade, and the shift to a FIRE based economy.  Which has been taken place in some form or another through the Carter, Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, & Obama administrations.

    2
  3117. She single handedly created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She then went on to sponsor 36 bills many of which went to protest workers, middle class, and bringing accountability to the Fed and Wall St. The reason we are stuck with Trump is because of all these god damn bullshit purity tests.... Sorry, but I care more about actual accomplishments over litmus tests.
    2
  3118. Well you could say the same thing about people with children. It's always excusable to take time off if your're having a kid or your kid is sick or has a birthday or had a medical thing, but if you're single and just want to play XBox then people look at you like some lazy fuck. To me I think it's fine to make religious exceptions, because religion is part of your identity on a deeper level whereas just having a beard or wearing a hat for for appearance sake isn't.

  3122. If you know that some fundamentalists are violent and yet you also have a great number who are peaceful, then why not focus on what's fueling the ones who are violent and terrorists? What exactly do people hope to accomplish by saying "Your religion sucks balls and you shouldn't follow it" ? Do you think that 2 billion Muslims are going to just go "I guess you're right! Meet you at the strip club! Drinks are on me!" or do you think that just maybe the more likely scenario is that they'll say "Fuck you. Stop attacking my religion". I seriously don't understand what people hope to accomplish by mindlessly bashing Muslims and Islam. Of course you don't know how to solve it, because you just stop at religion and you don't dive any deeper than that.

If bowing her head to Clinton means that she will be in a stronger position to continue the fight over the next few years then I'd say it was a smart compromise to make.
    2
  3128. The problem is they have it backwards... Stable families don't create economic opportunity, economic equality leads to more stable families. They try to pretend that the family "correlation" is a causation just so they can create a fake ambiguous "moral" issue while protecting the rich from being taxed.

  3134. boe diggy Well your original comment pretty much indicates that the publicity stunt worked. News Flash: Trump has no policies. His entire presidency (like his campaign) will be dedicated to doing rallies to create publicity for himself while letting the establishment GOP do whatever they want. He's already put all the establishment folks in his cabinet. All he want's to do is be the mascot.

  3135. JosephJamesScott Actually Bush wasn't consistent he ran against interventionism and nation building, was pro bi partisanship. against expansion of government, and federal intervention in state same sex marriage laws.  All positions that he later changed it mind on.  But I get your point.

  3136. +BobbyNiggs As well as tens of thousands of deaths and suicides each year. We went to war over 3 thousand deaths meanwhile 10 times that die each year and yes most of those are crimes, but the research has clearly showed for years that far fewer would be dead with less guns around.

  3145. I have a feeling that if Maher was Arabic instead of Jewish he would have a completely different opinion on certain issues....

  3147. swoll1980 -"I would say a much much higher percentage are racist against whites though"  Sorry, but the data says otherwise.  Your personal anecdotes doesn't trump reality. -"I challenge all you trendies to walk through a black neighborhood sometime, preferably at night, and see what happens to you." Once again... clearly you are confusing criminality with racism.  I don't think you understand the difference. There are plenty of "black neighborhoods" that black people won't walk through at night.  I bet this is a foreign concept to you...  It has nothing to do with race it has to do with the concentrated poverty and criminality that exists there. The majority of crime committed by black people are against other black people.  Again this has to do with poverty and criminality, not race.

  3150. ***** To be fair the majority of those producing and using GMOs do so to feed profit not people...  You are more likely to get negative results (cancers, immune deficiencies, infertility, etc.) out of such incentives rather than a positive one.  Furthermore feeding the world is an economic problem not a food scarcity problem.  We could feed the world today if we really wanted to but we can't because of economics which causes poverty and barriers to distribution.  Meanwhile you have "rich" countries like the US where close to HALF the edible food produced ends up in landfills even though millions go hungry.  Why? because feeding people who are hungry is not part of the economic system and sustainable food production instead of a system where we endlessly waste and consume is not profitable enough.
    2
  3151. Do you think that maybe the reason is that people like you in the media spend most of your time talking about the Democratic establishment, Hillary, emails, and spend ZERO time talking about actual policies? I'll just say that what the republican party was far worse under Obama. They had no message except being against Obama and yet they still won the presidency and two houses of congress.... So maybe it's not a bad strategy.

  3152. +Dust514rocks I've been watching Kyle for a long while and for 2017 he has replaced a lot of his "substance videos with bitching about Hillary, the media, Russia Stories, and religion. However these He spends a lot less on policy than he used to and frankly it's getting repetitive. There is absolutely no way that we're going to win the next election spending every day bitching about Hillary and democrats. I seriously don't understand the preoccupation when they are not even in power right now.

Or that pure aluminum wires are not hanging out by themselves, they're wrapped or incorporated into all components. Or that aluminum traces on a pcb wouldn't be hanging out by themselves either Sorry, but you're clearly not a serious person and what I mentioned are actual real applications for pure aluminum. Even knowing that it is used in capacitors would tell you that it is not an uncommon thing.

  3156.  @hdtvcamera1  Again. He can be charged once Trump leaves office. Mueller doesn't think he can indict a sitting president. Which has been stated dozens of times at this point. Trump's lawyer is sitting in jail right now for crimes that Trump was directly named as a a co-conspirator for. Trump would be in jail if he wasn't president. You guys don't have a leg to stand on complaining about Hillary, when you're actively defending a proven criminal, and possible traitor to this country, and you don't seem to care.

  3158. I think these vaccine mandates are out of line, but they shouldn't protest businesses that have nothing to do with it. Omicron is milder and transmits amongst vaccinated people just like Delta did. So, if they are trying to stop a spread, they would enforce mask wearing regardless of vaccination status. Creating separate rules for vaccinated people or firing unvaccinated people is just a bad precedent that is bound to lead to backlash. Maybe you should have a more substantive response other than "stop crying", because literally the right wing says the same thing over issues and protests that you care about.

The WHO even recommended against having any travel bans because of Omicron and that recommendation still stands. These bans are just for show so that politicians can look like they are doing something. What you're talking about isn't "wise" its people acting out of irrational fear. At some point the coronavirus is going to mutate into something mild and much less deadly, just like the Spanish Flu did. The fact that Omicron is more transmissible and less deadly is actually a good thing*. The fact that it has aspects of the common cold is a *good *thing*. People freaking out about it needlessly is not a good thing. It's only good for pharmaceutical companies wanting to sell more boosters.

  3163. Try reading the Presidential Records Act, if you did you would understand how dumb it is that you think it's an actual defense. Biden had a few classified documents and retuned them, just like Mike Pence. They did this on their own. They didn't steal dozens of boxes containing highly classified material on their way out and spend over a year refusing to give any of it back when repeatedly asked to and lie about having even more. It's pretty sick that you people care more about a man than your own damn country.

You seem to not know the difference between a foreign government interfering in our democracy, hacking into DNC (and probably RNC) servers, and a sitting president being compromised to that foreign government vs. a studio that Thom did his show from for awhile. The reason you guys come across so painfully dumb is because your thought processes are so basic... We don't simply go "Der... Everything Russia is BAD!" We don't create simplistic bigoted associations like you people. We look at the context of a situation to understand what is actually happening.

Dude just wants to be left alone, not be used as some political pawn in someone else's manufactured culture war. Furthermore, why have a "medical intervention" if he's already HAD COVID?!!! Which means vaccination isn't going to do anything for him on top of his natural immunity, being an elite athlete, and being FAR healthier than an average American anyway? At this point you're ADDING to his risk, not taking away any risk, and ONLY for politics... The whole thing is absurd.

I have more respect for people who hunt, grow their food, and take care of the land than people who project a moral judgement on everyone else just because they buy a vegan burger with no concept of everything it took to get it to their table. The bottom line is we need to learn how to coexist with our environment. Smaller farms, local farms, permaculture, sustainability, creating ecosystems, bringing food sources closer into cities rather than shipping everything thousands of miles. People don't realize that there is a huge difference between growing a cow on a factory farm vs growing a cow on a pasture. Never mind all the other types of animals that can be supported in a sustainable way. There is far more more to the world than just beef, pork, and chicken.

  3196. Will Wright Dude.... You need to understand the differences between a relational database and big data. Facebook is using MySQL as nothing more than a key value store and has been transitioning to NoSQL for years. They’ve built their own query engine based on map reduce and span data across a couple thousand servers. Their data is not stored the same way you would for your typical mom & pop website. Your exact words were: “Cookies determine how long the connection stays open between the web address and the user’s computer. “ This is not even close to being correct..... Cookies are a client side storage mechanism. Sessions can use cookies as a mechanism to store information about the connection and use that information to clear the session data. However cookies have nothing to do with the “connection” to the backend servers. Finally it’s clear you’ve never dealt with large sets of data because you would never use an integer as a key for a dataset like Facebook’s. FYI an int can only increment to a couple billion whereas Facebook datasets are going to account for several billion records. They would at least try to account for their data being equal the entire world population because that would be their end goal. An integer cannot be used as a key for such a system. Not only that but an auto increment key cannot be distributed properly across a thousand servers. At that level you’re going to be using a different key generation mechanism.

  3198. Actually, it is far better for society for virus coming from a cruise ship to have 10% mortality than a 100% mortality. A 10% mortality would suggest that people can have immunity or acquire immunity. A 100% mortality even at 10% infection would suggest there is no recourse and given enough time everyone on that cruise ship would die eventually and if that virus made it to land, then everyone in that country would eventually die regardless of whether the infection rate was slower.

  3199. ​ @redsoxs5870  What reports are you talking about? Again, the transcript was already incriminating and worthy of impeachment. You cannot use the office of the presidency to get a foreign country to help you with your re-election efforts. That is what the transcript described, and there have already been several witnesses testifying to that fact. It's over. I have no idea WTF you're arguing right now. You are talking about Obama and Hillary as if they are somehow relevant to this discussion, they're not. You're just so brainwashed by partisan bs that you cannot even think straight.

  3203. ​@UCTBjf0Q_Tm_01PoEb96Ea3Q No I believe they are referring to the time in which a person go their 2nd dose and the inclusion of that person (recruitment) in the study. So in other words they are tracking how long that person was "fully vaccinated". So what it shows is that vaccines are most effective in the first 2 months after you've been fully vaccinated. After 3 months or so you're starting to lose protection. They repeat that finding at the bottom of the study: "The time interval between vaccination and study recruitment was significantly higher in fully vaccinated PCR-positive contacts than fully vaccinated PCR-negative contacts, suggesting that susceptibility to infection increases with time as soon as 2–3 months after vaccination—consistent with waning protective immunity. " Vaccines give you a big boost early on, but that protection starts waning over time. This is why we've been seeing more and more breakthrough cases. This is also why places like Israel, who got most of their population vaccinated early, are now requiring people get a 3rd booster shot. I honestly think that even if you're vaccinated you're going to to get Covid eventually. Everyone is going to Covid, because the virus is now endemic, you're just better off getting the virus if you're vaccinated,

  3204.  @SM-jw8xx  Exactly... I think feeding into the culture war with black and white arguments is detrimental overall.

Nor would a draft eliminate a covetous leader, nor or would it guarantee that the process wouldn't be manipulated in a dozen different ways. Perhaps even worse than it is today. The problem in my mind has always been cultural. Not "cultural" in the right wing sense, but cultural in the fact that as a society we've decided that it's okay for politics to be based on opinions instead of verifiable facts. Something we don't do when it comes to building bridges, planes, or developing medicines. Somehow government is this thing we've all decided it's okay to decide major things based on gut reactions from anyone who decides to participate as opposed to an informed educated process. Because of that it's always going to attract liars and manipulators. There's always going to be some things that will require opinions, but most things like health, safety, economy, should not.

  3210. Sorry Cenk, but the phrase "Democratic Capitalism" makes zero sense.... Unless you're advocating "worker co-ops" or something democracy is completely unrelated to capitalism. Democracy is the engine that fuels our government so "democratic socialism" makes sense and the regulations upon capitalism can be based on a democratic judgements. However capitalism is fueled by money as well as the private ownership of the means of production, so by definition it is not "democratic" unless you restructure how capitalism and markets work. You can do that through regulation, but again you're talking socialism at that point (laws, courts, regulatory agencies, etc.)

  3213. How can anyone have a "conversation" when they come out and sincerely apologize and the response is "Well you're just doing that for money" or "well we know you were really trying to be racist"? You're not actually having a conversation if your position is condemning a person regardless of what they have to say about it. Years ago, TYT ALSO said the n-word multiple times in the context of quoting people and discussing racism, Cenk has said many questionable things in his past. Adrienne your position is basically being able to accept change and growth from your friends, but not from strangers and when you hold positions like that then you're really no better than Fox News. When you don't give anyone any room to grow at all, then all you're doing is creating enemies. And now we're interpreting "comments on twitter" to gauge the how all of Joe Rogan's fans feel about an issue. They responded positively to Joe's apology so therefore they want people to use the n-word? Seriously? Do you do that with your own videos? Are youtube comments scientific polls now? 😂

Far more if you include movies, advertising, and various other forms of media that capitalize on attractiveness. Misogyny has a specific definition and being attracted to a woman and defending a woman's views based on that attraction is not one of them.

  3228. The problem people have with Dany's turn is that the show was subverting basic hero tropes... In real life you never know what to expect from people, your neighbor could be a serial killer and you wouldn't know it. They also allowed you to justify all of her actions in the past. They showed you how emotionless she was at her brothers death and you assumed that it was because he was abusing her and not happy that an obstacle to the thrown was out of the way. You thought she hated her brother because of his abuse, but you also ignored the fact that she named one of her dragons after him... They showed you her impaling hundreds of people while allowing you to say "those were the bad guys" those families must have deserved it. She liberated slaves, but was it because it was the easiest way to get followers when you have none? The show played on typical tropes of how heroes are established just to d let you know that there are no real heroes.

  3230. It also breeds mistrust when discount well known facts like natural immunity providing a good deal of protection for people or vaccines not stopping transmission. Also, when you start making up things like people being vaccinated protecting people who are immunocompromised, which has never been shown in any study, this causes a lot of mistrust. The right wing can take precautions when it's put into a certain perspective, they're not opposed to alarm systems, guns, prepping, etc. However, when institutions they historically mistrust start pushing a one size fits all solution for everything it triggers their conspiracy mindset.

  3245.  @jstreets1983  It does when vaccination doesn't significantly reduce chances of spreading it to other people. Men can transmit the virus about 30% more than women. So, this policy is about the same as banning men from public spaces because that's about the reduction in transmission you get from vaccination under Delta. With Omicron it's not even a conversation.

But you need to sop looking at life as if it is a game. --"But then again, the US is a democracy" Arguably it is an oligarchy. --"if you find enough people to agree with you you can change the rules."

  3247. I'll suck myself off too... I saw the writing on the wall long before you did. Right after 2020 I knew the investigations and indictments were coming, Trump wasn't going to have the bully pulpit or political power to stop people from finding out what a joke he was. As pathetic as the Dems were I knew they weren't going to just sit by and let Trump's criminality go unchecked while he was out of power. So it was just a matter of time before Trump fell apart. What I predict now is that Trump and DeSantis are going to get into the most epic pissing match you've ever seen in your life and it's going to be glorious.... 😂 Now that DeSantis won his election he doesn't have to kiss Trump's ass anymore and he has an incentive to distance himself from Trump. Which is going to cause Trump to immediately lash out at DeSantis. The best thing that Trump can do for the GOP is sit back and shut up, but he can't help himself. Trump losing more and more power is going to be an epic meltdown, like a child throwing a tantrum.

  3250.  @nwagner643  No we just acknowledge reality and try to figure out plans for "less evil" so that "less people" suffer instead of sitting around bitching about the circumstances. Again, just bitching about it doesn't help anyone or anything without a strategy. Throwing up your hands and saying "life sucks" might feel good in the moment, but doesn't actually DO ANYTHING to improve things one bit. It just doesn't. Letting fascists take over because the other side isn't ideal or the choices aren't ideal only causes more people to suffer and die, because those people have plans even if you don't. The question is whether you're in the fight or not.
    2
  3251.  @nwagner643  Yes, because choosing the "lesser evil" means "less evil". Which translates to less people dying and less people suffering. --"people, like me, who refuse to have a hand in maintaining this empire " So you're a NPC. You're choosing to do nothing and pretend you're somehow doing something. Sorry if I don't have respect for people who just sit on the sidelines. Furthermore YOU ARE in fact "maintaining the empire" just by living here. All of your tax dollars go to "maintain the empire". You're basically a lump of meat plugged into the matrix. You take advantage of everything you have by being in an "empire" yet do nothing to actually change it. The Military Industrial Complex has no problems milking you while you sit around complaining.
    2
  3252.  @nwagner643  A first world privilege is having the luxury to sit around complaining about an "empire" while there are people on the edge of their seat wondering how the the rest of their lives are going to go based on the result of an election. You don't give a sh!t about people and real consequences, all you care about is feeling good about your fake moral high ground.
    2
  3253.  @nwagner643  And doing nothing about it doesn't actually change anything now does it? Obamacare has saved the lives of at least a hundred thousand Americans , perhaps hundreds of thousands, since it's inception between the patient protection regulations, eliminating preexisting conditions, and the millions who were able to get coverage as as a result of it. Is it perfect or what we want ultimately? No. However if it was up to you then the thousands of people who were saved and the millions of families who were indirectly effected (by not going bankrupt, not losing a loved one, etc.) would have just been allowed to suffer because of "corporatists in the Democratic party". You pretend as if you're saying something new and profound, when you're really not. What is your plan for saving the most lives other than just complaining? Being a NPC complaining about you "took an arrow in the knee" doesn't accomplish anything, sorry.

  3255.  @nwagner643  No I suggest you maximize your efforts to save more lives and cause less suffering. We're not blind to the problems in the system dude. We're just not using it as an excuse to do nothing. You pretend as if recognizing the problems in the system is the last step when its only the first of many. Sitting around complaining while waiting for a magic politician or magic third party to come around and solve all your problems for you doesn't get you anything other than an unearned sense of self righteousness. Meanwhile there are decisions we can make TODAY that can change the lives of hundreds, thousands, even millions of people. We can also elect politicians that are more open to these ideas and shift the overton window. You can scream about politicians not living up to your ideals, but you get the luxury to do that while a child who will never see their parents again does not.

  3256.  @nwagner643  Classic projection. You complain about straw men and then turn around and create your own... At what point did I ever say I was putting "faith" in anyone? Organize and promote progressives at the local and national level. Of course. Duh... However in the system we have every election is a binary choice and when one of those choices is the lesser evil, YOU PICK THE LESSER EVIL. You don't just step back and whine about your choices. There is absolute no doubt that when it comes to the Military Industrial Complex, Courts, Regulations, Taxes, Healthcare, Immigration, Race Relations, Pandemic Response, Corruption, Climate Change almost EVERY metric you can think of has taken a big step backwards under Trump. If you cannot recognize that then you simply have ideological blinders on and the only reason you're into politics is to smell your own farts and feel good about yourself rather than actually helping people. Fighting Biden and making some progress is far better than fighting Trump and moving backwards. Period.

  3257.  @nwagner643  These weren't "questions". They are statements: --"you're putting faith in the same people who got us here to having a change of heart, doing a 180 and making things better." ---"you're suggesting that I join you in bending over and taking it in the ass from our owners, with a smile on my face."

  3258.  @nwagner643  Sorry, but you're just wrong. The military budget was declining under Obama since 2011. Trump called the military budget "depleted" and started advocating for more spending. It'll be 130-150 billion greater than when Obama left office. Trump gave the CIA more freedom to do drone strikes and revoked the Obama rule to actually report civilian casualties. So now we won't even know how many civilians we are killing. Never mind the fact that we're on the verge a war with Iran. Over 2 million people lost health care coverage under Trump. Trump exited the Paris climate agreement (that we entered into under Obama) and proceeded to deregulate the oil and coal industries. Which includes more offshore drilling, opening up MILLIONS of acres of federal protected lands to oil production, additional pipelines, etc. Trump literally got into a fight with CA on lowering their fuel efficiency and emission standards and they wouldn't do it. If all you do is listened to Jimmy Dore's idiotic rants on how everyone is the same, then you'll be ignorant to the actual issues.
    2
  3259. ​ @nwagner643  Ah it's the classic Jimmy Dore non-sequitur that pretends that a politician not being perfect on an issue, means they are exactly the same as another politician that is bad on an issue. Never mind the fact that the largest green energy investment in our country's history happened because of Obama and is the reason why company's like Tesla even exist today. Never mind the 2500% increase in solar and 300% increase in wind that happened because of this. Never mind the half a trillion savings in increased energy standards which Trump has been trying to roll back. Somehow it's all the same in your mind because of the couple times Obama allowed "artic drilling" compared to the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of acres in federal forests and nature preserves that Trump has opened up. Including drilling in the artic. Sorry, but you're not a serious person. RIGHT NOW the Trump administration is rushing to auction off millions of acres in the Arctic national wildlife refuge before Biden takes office. --"In Trump's first year Pelosi and the Democrats increased the defense bill $10 billion over what Trump asked for." Key words there are what "Trump asked for". You'll always have opportunist who want to cash in when a big budget is on the table. The point is that Obama had asked for less every year.

  3260.  No Name  I don't know who or what you're talking about. You need context in your comment. If you're talking about Biden, there was no "Libyan Genocide" so I have no idea what you're talking about there. I don't know what prisoners you're referring to unless you're talking about the torture of prisoners that was done by the Bush administration in Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, and various CIA black sites which has nothing to do with Biden either. So yeah I have no idea what you're talking about.

  3263. @luvcheney1 "Safety nets create slums" Again... No evidence. Just a "gut feeling". As I said poverty dropped dramatically (saving countless lives) in the 40's, 50's , 60's & 70's as these programs were implemented without huge spikes in unemployment. Creating a hypothetical scenario that completely ignores state regulations on safety nets won't change facts. This is the problem with political ideology, *OBJECTIVITY* should be a bases for policy not YOUR personal circumstances.

  3264. You forget Kyle that Modern Monetary Theory isn't just "spend as much as you want, who cares?". That spending should be in things that invest in our society. Tax cuts, wars, a wall detention camps, increasing out military budget by a 100 billion, are not investments that are going to improve our society and economic standing. MMT doesn't work without a stable country... So eventually those things will cause huge problems in our economy.

  3267.  @hrs2044  Clearly you have no idea what racism actually is. No one is being oppressed by the fact that black barbers do a lot of fades on black hair. This is not a stereotype it's a fact because of black hair styles. Meanwhile Jews have been oppressed, marginalized, and discriminated against by the idea that "they control the money". So you literally have no idea what you're talking about.

  3271. That study was proven to be inaccurate last year and it never came out of peer review. Later studies actually showed a higher incidence of myocarditis in young people when it comes to vaccination compared to infections. That was probably what Joe was referring to. It's actually pretty embarrassing that people are still using that clip of Joe Rogan as evidence that he got "fact checked" without actually ever even looking into that. When you purposely misrepresent information to try and "own" Joe Rogan you're really no better than the right wing trying to own the libs.

  3277. You really need to get someone else on the left other Cross. Talking about the "mortality rate of black women", "China's tiktok", and making up the idea that they are "ignoring patients" makes her sound like a parody of the left. Whether they should be fired or not is up for debate, but acting as if you're personally offended and outraged over people complaining on tiktock is a total clown show. Yes Emory has an image to maintain, but nurses have every right to complain about their jobs that is probably FAR more difficult than the vast majority of people including talking heads who are paid to complain and feign outrage on YouTube. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be permanently canceled from your career based on an insensitive thing you said once, but you're more than willing to have these nurses lose out on their livelihood because you didn't like a 5 second complaint they made... Absolutely absurd.

  3282.  @pariah_carey  Your response was long and rather unclear. I apologize if I misunderstood your intent. However you're also quite guilty of not reading my responses fully.... Because not only are you not responding to my actual words, you somehow suggested that people are only looking at race as an issue when no one has ever said that. So if you want to reply to a comment or a sentiment then I suggest you do so directly, not write a novel and expect me to pick up your nuances. For example you could have easily said: "I agree that racism is a real systemic problem, but..." Then introduce your new topic or argument. That way you follow a train of thought and a conversation thread with less confusion. However if you're simply agreeing that racism and white privilege exists (along with many other problems) then there's no real disagreement here.

  3286. Again... A UBI that isn't UNIVERSAL is not a UBI... We've always known what "giving some people" money will do, especially people who are struggling and need money. What we don't know is if we change the floor of the entire economy to $1000 or $1500 or whatever. I can guarantee that landlords will immediately raise the rent in certain areas when that happens. Eventually you're going to realize that relying on market forces for basic subsistence is a bad idea. We would be far better off eliminating the need for money when it comes to basic necessities, because playing a game where the rich control the rules will always create losers.

  3287. 06:30 Cenk pretending as if he was the only one who wanted Biden to drop out and that going onto right wing shows somehow made that happen as oppose to Biden's horrible debate performance.... Cenk's ego is the ultimate villain in this story. It's the one thing he has in common with Dave Rubin and Jimmy Dore. Pretending to be "right" on something in order to inflate his ego. No different than Jimmy's "Force the Vote" that he couldn't stop talking about.

The reality is Trump cares more about putting on a show during the SOTU and his rallies than actually making a real difference. He's basically a fake president, not a real one. A lot of his supporters will pretend that he won something and that he's fighting for what's right, but in reality, whether they admit it or not this is the moment that they are starting to see that the Emperor has no clothes...

He literally get's paid by various rich conservative donors to make up scandals and he's been doing it since 2008. It's funny how people like to pretend that George Soros is secretly behind things yet they completely ignore rich conservatives actually paying for propaganda. You shouldn't be looking for evidence that he bribed someone, you should have looked for evidence that what he reported actually happened.... There never was any evidence other than a poorly spliced together video taken out of context and the narrative that he made up for it. He does the same thing over and over.

  3294.  Sudo Nim  Clearly you don't even know what the term "whataboutism" even means, because you've used it incorrectly twice now.

Your arguments are incoherent nonsense.

    2
  3299. Yup. I'm just so surprised that other people couldn't tell that she has no real moral compass. She does things to stand out, not out of any real conviction. If she was a real progressive she would be supporting Bernie Sanders in lock step. If she was against war she would speak out against the agressions of India or Israel, but she won't do that.
    2
  3300. Ummm.... Nowhere in that clip did she say she was "anti-vax". You can acknowledge that people with a prior infection have a strong immunity against Covid while at the same time be a proponent of vaccinations and masks. Those two things are NOT mutually exclusive, yet somehow in this culture war people pretend as if they are. I don't doubt that she would choose to focus on different things depending on her audience, but to suggest that she goes from "anti-vax" to "pro-vax" is the most disingenuous thing that I've seen from TMR to date, because that's not what was in the clip.

  3303. I don't know whether Trump will or won't drop out, but I think it's entirely possible. I just don't get people who don't think that a spoiled rich kid isn't capable of picking up his toys and going home once he starts loosing at "playing president".

  3304. I will also add that Conservatives often use religion as a form of authoritarianism. In which case the authority is "god", or "Allah" or whatever deity they choose to be an authority over your life. Of course in realty they are simply giving their interpretation of god that authority or just cherry pick the scriptures they chose to follow while ignoring others.

  3308. Chase, please site a source for why you believe that Hillary continued to spread the Bush narrative about Iraq being linked to 911, Al Qaeda, and having weapons of mass destruction. Clinton denounced the Iraq war and said it was a mistake to vote for the Iraq Resolution YEARS AGO. You guys seriously don't know WTF you're talking about and letting emotions get in the way of facts.

  3309. We need to make capitalism a small part of our economy instead of controlling every aspect. There's no reason for 100% of the population to work for decades on end. There is plenty enough resources and technology to feed and house everyone on the planet. The only reason we buy into this idea of constant consumption which leads to pollution and depletion of resources is because it supports an oligarchy.

  3310. MSNBC did the same thing during the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq invasion... They fired a people who were critical of Bush and Keith Olbermann was one of the few who spoke out against them. His job was often in jeopardy because of it. Eventually they learned that being oppositional to Bush was profitable and that's when people like Rachel Maddow came on board through Olbermann's show. Then being anti-Bush and pro-Democratic establishment became part of their normal programming. So really they're just going back to their old roots.

  3312. Romney doesn't understand that a society is not just an opportunity to make a buck... Having a strong country means investing in your society. It doesn't happen through magic. When you are born wealthy you lose that perspective. His father had that perspective and was even on welfare for a time. If you value money over the well being of your country and fellow citzens then that is the very definition of "unpatriotic". Patriotism isn't about remembering some songs you learned as a kid.

  3317. Well by most recent accounts and studies, Omicron is more akin to the flu and doesn't infect the lungs nearly as strongly as delta or original strain. There's also a chance it may not even have originated from humans. People are now theorizing that this variant may have come from mice or rats. At some point we need to just be glad that we're getting a milder variant. Not everything has to be Alpha, Delta, people filling up with hospitals, doom and gloom and people dying. Just take yes for an answer.

  3319. Sigh... Hate it when Cenk isn't there to reign in these discussions. Jeez guys Hunter Biden is not a politician and you pretend he needs to have a perfectly prepared responses? 1. You didn't even address what Hunter Biden was saying. The idea of the presidency itself is in a death spiral because of Trump. Trump has screwed over his allies and has turned the office into a circus. That's the point he was making. The office and the respect people once had for it may NEVER recover from this. 2. No Ana, it's not "abuse of power" it is Nepotism, Cronyism, etc. 03:22 Nando says "I'll take it!" Of course he would. Not many people would just turn down 50k a month. Just like Megan McCain isn't going to turn down the 100K a month she's making from The View. 3. If you have a family member get's a cushy job based on who you are, what exactly is your expectation in that situation? Do you expect Joe Biden to force his son to quit his job after he found out?

  3323.  @trysis260  They already studied that in the UK. The study found that vaccination only slows down transmission by only 30% and that's only within the first 2 months following vaccination. After two months there was no difference. They found that the viral load in vaccinated people was the same in those who were unvaccinated and their ability to spread the virus was the same regardless of whether they were asymptomatic or not. The only difference is that the virus lasts a bit longer in unvaccinated people. That was for Delta, meanwhile Omicon is 70 times more transmissible. Vaccination protects people from symptomatic covid. However, it does not stop you from transmitting anything. Truckers are also less likely to spread anything because they spend most of their time working alone on the road. So why force people into doing something they don't want to do? Or may not need to do if they've already had Covid?

  3324. So people have to fall into a specific political archetype otherwise they're disingenuous? He gave a long answer as to why labels are stupid and the reporter decided to ignore all of that and ask the same question.

Frozen stuff in plastic I might wash it with cool soap and water before putting in the freezer.

  3332.  @samfetter2968  Please explain where you're getting "65%" from? I already said that the vaccine reduced chances of hospitalization and death so why are you repeating what I already wrote? A recent study out of the UK specifically on the Delta variant showed that viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people were similar when infected with Covid, although the vaccines of course reduced symptoms. Specifically they noted: -"However, this study unfortunately also highlights that the vaccine effect on reducing transmission is minimal in the context of delta variant circulation." Countries with much higher vaccination rates than the US experienced the same spike in cases over the summer. People in nursing homes had first dibs on the vaccine before anyone else. That is why the deaths stopped.
    2
  3333.  @samfetter2968  You just said you knew the study I was talking about.... The name of the study is: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK: a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study" It was published 2 days ago, but even long before that it was well known that the vaccines effected the Delta variant far less than the Alpha variant when it came to transmission which is why we started wearing masks again. I've been a supporter of TYT for over 15 years and a paid member for nearly a decade. so please stop with idea that I'm somehow trying to undermine this channel. Talk like a real person, not a mindless pundit.

  3336. tbh you were far more critical of Hillary Clinton in 2016 than you ever were of Trump and anything that Trump did you would always follow it up with a Clinton criticism. So even when Trump was doing/saying more wrong and was more authoritarian, you constantly made it look "even"....

  3337. So, I guess someone who is obese and dies also deserves to be mocked? Someone who drinks alcohol and dies also deserves to be mocked? Does someone who participates in an activity that increases their risk of mortality such as skydiving, do they deserve to be mocked? How about someone who drives a car or motorcycle every day which increases their mortality as well as the mortality of others on the road?

They move millions of people in this country every day. Musk should be spending his time on last mile transit or personal EVs not reinventing the wheel based on false promises.

  3342. ​ @Southparker100000000  Here's an idea... How about we don't throw solar panels into lakes and landfills? You make it sound as if the issues with solar are insurmountable. As if we don't recycle batteries and many other things deemed too dangerous to put into the environment. As if disposing of nuclear waste is somehow easy but disposing of old solar panels is impossible. As if there isn't newer solar technology. As if it isn't easier and faster to develop newer solar tech with far less money than it is to develop newer nuclear tech. Where are you getting the idea that wind turbines cannot offset their own carbon footprint? Furthermore are you factoring in the enormous costs and CARBON it takes to build nuclear plants and enriching uranium? Or are you just assuming that the plant magically appears and starts producing energy? How about all the heat waste they produce? Not to mention the potential for accidents. Which I know is supposed to be greatly reduced with new technology, but it's not zero. Are you factoring in 3 mile island, Chernobyl, and Fukishima in your equation for "clean" or is it only the most ideal scenario? I suspect if you gave the same considerations you're giving to nuclear to solar and wind, they would easily come out ahead.

  3343. It's disingenious for Thom to complain about Reagan and Thatcher "borrowing and spending" and then turn around and talk about Modern Monetary Theory and how we can "borrow and spend" our way to prosperity. He's going off old talking points and he really needs to distinguish the two....

  3344. Her line about the deficit is much more succinct than whatever you were trying to explain... It shows that Trump doesn't care about the debt and isn't fiscally responsible.

It wasn't too long ago that the neocons in government were saying over and over for YEARS that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a threat to the world because he said that "Israel would be wiped off the face of the map", he was actually misquoted/mistranslated and what he actually said was that the current regime in Israel would eventually vanish. However it's funny how these same people give Trump a pass when he says the same thing about other countries almost every week.

  3350.  Juve  Yes Trump did say those things. Look it up and stop denying reality. You're seriously asking me what a president is supposed to do in the middle of a crises? He was supposed to DO EVERYTHING HE COULD TO SAVE LIVES. WTF do you think he was supposed to do? There have been multiple studies showing that 40% of people would be alive today if Trump took the virus seriously from the beginning. But he didn't. He continued having rallies, politicized wearing masks, and put his son in law in charge of something he didn't know anything about, disbanded the pandemic team, fired the CDC stationed in China, and did just about everything he could to make the pandemic worse than it needed to be. Now the same people who thought Benghazi was the most horrible thing that ever happened because 4 people died suddenly don't give a crap that hundreds of thousands of Americans died needlessly. Pathetic...

It is not their job to focus on the people you have a problem with or cover things how you want them to be covered. The problem is that TYT did not not handle this issue properly. Take it up with THEM, not shows nice enough to take your calls. You could have used this opportunity to make a good point about the situation, or a broader issue in the trans community, instead you choose to just bitch, yell, and whine to the very people giving you a platform because you think they should be fighting YOUR battles and calling out people you want them to call out. Do better dude.... These people aren't your mother and throwing a tantrum is not how your get your way.

They are the ones in contact with the most people every day. I also have no problems with Congress getting the vaccine first. They need to be working with each other every single day in order to get relief packages passed and we can't have votes held up because someone else came down with Covid. So this grandstanding to get attention is just gross.

She tried to do her own spinoff show and it failed miserably because her opinions are just basic and uninteresting. Why Cenk put so much emphasis on making her happy is beyond me. He should have gotten another host ages ago. He's got some weird loyalty to her that he hasn't given to anyone else and I don't get it.

It's a huge problem if on one hand you spend years criticizing Democrats for using populist rhetoric but only delivering "15% change", but then immediately give credit to MAGA for using populist rhetoric when their solution is authoritarianism, demonizing minority groups, mass deportation, and tax cuts for the rich. He's using different rules for different people while simultaneously throwing left wing groups and commentators under the bus.

  3365.  @cohenpeter  And what study is that? The one I refer to is entitled: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta". You can easily look it up. The CDC knew about this transmissibility which is why we started wearing masks again indoors with Delta regardless of vaccination status. However, politically the narrative was still being pushed that somehow the unvaccinated where responsible for transmission. Thom Hartmann, who I've listened to for like 15 years started doing segment after segment talking about how vaccinated people shouldn't want to hang around unvaccinated people in restaurants for their own "personal safety". I've seen lots of "lefties" make this argument including TYT and it was NEVER based on anything. Cenk went as far as suggesting that the unvaccinated were responsible for Colin Powel getting Covid and dying. I remember watching that segment with utter disbelief. Go watch TYT's videos on Colin Powel's death and tell me that I'm wrong. They pushed this idea that being vaccinated somehow protects the immunocompromised and the children who couldn't get vaccinated without a single study to back up those claims. Personally, I think the reason for the big spike over the summer was partially because of Delta and partially because people were constantly being told that they weren't spreading the virus by being vaccinated. They were told this by the media, CDC guidelines, and through local policies and politicians who constantly implied this idea.

  3380. 03:02 Only 2% of the population identify as trans. So does that make the word "trans" absurd? Maybe you should actually talk to someone Hispanic who uses "Latinx" instead of just writing it off because of a poll... Just because most Latin people haven't heard the phrase or don't know what it is doesn't make the word itself absurd. Most people in this country don't understand CRT, non-binary, and dozens of other things. Yet somehow you treat all Hispanic people as if they are a monolith... It's a shame that many progressive pundits look for things to bash the left over just to make themselves seem reasonable.

  3381. Nah.... You're being entirely selective here TYT. I have no love for cops or anything, but that cop just tweeted about t-shirt repeating one of Trump's slogans... You have NO IDEA if he was being 'racist against all Asians' or just mindlessly supporting Trump with a t-shirt. Do you have a history of that cop jailing or shooting Asians or anything else? No, all you have is a t-shirt of one of Trump's slogan's and suddenly we're supposed to think he's a lifelong bigot against Asian people? Whereas Alexi's tweets were DIRECTLY targeting gay and Asian people... YES she was young, but people can vote and go to war at 18... If you're going to allow a "conversation" in her case, but not allow a "conversation" with the officer then you're just being ENTIRELY bias. People in the media hold power... I'm sure Tucker Carson made all sorts of racial jokes in his youth before becoming the monster that he is today so people have a right to be concerned about it. My view is that we need to allow people to RESPOND to the mistakes they make. Whether it's a white police officer or a black woman being selective about who deserves to be listened to and who doesn't completely undermines the cause.

  3382. The grift and lack of self awareness here is astounding....

So spare me your outrage on abuse of power. Furthermore you pretend as if people were going after Flynn specifically when in fact no one knew that Flynn was even involved until his identity was "unmasked" while trying to investigate Russian ambassadors potential ties to meddling in our election. Trump administration has used unmasking 10,000 times last year. You didn't care about "unmasking" until you saw something you could use politically. FU Rand.

The fact that you had some pundits on TV call Trump a "Manchurian candidate" after Clinton lost. IS NOT THE SAME THING...

  3392. His entire argument sums up to: "We look at those people as a different 'class' than us and we don't think they deserve OUR rights" It is discrimination plain and simple. If he thought it had anything to do with procreation he would be out there banning sex out of wedlock and sterile people getting married, and married people not procreating. But of course it's not about that. It's about demonizing/persecuting a group with ideas YOU don't agree with. It is ugly and not very "christian".

  3394. I'd say that a lot of us saw the evidence and a lot of us was convinced by it. Even if Muller never made a conclusion of "collusion" in his report there was a lot of people who were convinced by what was revealed as I believe Raskin laid out the other day. Also if making definitive statements of guilt based on what you believe is true is a "lie", then dozens of Republican congressman should be censured based on their comments on Biden and his son. Just like you just did. Should all of these Republicans be censured because they weren't able to prove corruption?

  3395. Please Fuck the hell off Kyle... You pretend as if everyone who was talking about the "Russia Thing" was making it out to be Putin manipulating Trump through mind control or something. OF COURSE we knew there was a fucking reason WHY Trump and his campaign executives were being favorable towards Russia and we suspected it was because of his debts and shady deals that he was making with Russian oligarchs and the Russian mob. WE KNEW that the Muller investigation was going to look into Trump's finances and shed light on these illegal deals. This was the idea ALL ALONG.... Do you think that we thought Trump would do treason because he liked Putin? Thought he was a cool guy? Of course not, that would be fucking MORONIC. We knew that Trump was wrapped into some deep shit with the Russian Oligarchs/Mob that caused him to do Pro-Russian policies. This isn't rocket science..... Also you would be completely naive if you think that Putin wouldn't have known or suspected anything about this.

  3396.  @henrytownshed5304  1. There's nothing about abortion in the Bible. In fact God regularly kills children and the unborn. 2. Democrats are pro choice, not pro abortion. That means giving people the right to choose based on their own circumstances and beliefs. As well as not using the government to enforce your beliefs on everyone else like authoritarians. 3. Abortions have decreased dramatically under Democratic administrations because of things like sex education, economic programs, and promoting and making availability various forms of contraception. 4. Most of the country is in favor of legal abortion and has been for decades. So your position is fundamentally undemocratic. Republicans simply use abortion as a wedge issue and to use government as a means of forcing their ideology and control over women. You pretend as if women are immoral or aren't smart enough to figure out what's best for them.

It's no different than the mindset of centrist Democrats giving up on policy before even trying to fight for it.

  3411. Who is he putting "in jeopardy" exactly? You do realize that people who are vaccinated can spread Covid too right? Someone who is vaccinated can transmit the Delta variant almost as easily as someone who is not vaccinated. If anything getting tested regularly means that he was putting LESS people in danger than his vaccinated teammates who weren't getting tested and not subject to the same restrictions. I seriously don't understand why TYT keeps spreading the falsehood that people aren't spreading the virus if they are vaccinated. It's irresponsible.

  3420. The 2 state solution is nothing more than a delay tactic while Israel ethnically cleans Palestinians and takes more of their land.

Africa isn't somehow known for having "treatments" available to everyone at any time, most people would not have gotten any treatment at all. Africa's low death rate is probably due to having a younger population, less vitamin D deficiency, and probably some other things that haven't been studied yet. Letting people die in industrialized countries simply because Africa is doing better, is not somehow an answer.

  3425. Sure let's just pretend that "fatherlessness" is entirely the result of a conscious choice made in the first couple months of a pregnancy. This man is entirely ignorant on how the world even works an is only seeing it from the limited perspective of the few relationships he's had in his personal life. On some level I agree that a man should be able to opt out if his partner decides to have a child without his consent and basically treat the man as a "sperm donor", but at the same time it isn't really possible for the state to actively track "consent" of a pregnancy or force a women to get abortions if their partners are against having children. The guy sounded like a gd child with some deep seeded anger issues.
    2
  3426.  @sirius1696  Umm... That's called Tuesday. Men do that anyway and all throughout the child's life, not just in the first couple months of a pregnancy. The idea that somehow it can be officially decided and legally binding, is pretty ridiculous. As if men haven't discovered the concept of "lying".... Never mind the fact that it doesn't even "eliminate fatherlessness", it only creates children that have far less money for food, clothes, shelter, education, etc. In other words it only makes the problem worse.

Maybe there would be more progress towards sustainability if people were more educated on the options available, other than just being vegetarian. Which also doesn't solve the problem, only makes it less severe. People could talk about insects, rabbits, goats, and many grass-fed/sustainable farming options. However the only message people have been beaten over the head with for decades has been based on the consumption of cheeseburgers and milkshakes from fast-food chains. Most people don't even know that cows aren't supposed to eat corn. If people were more educated on other food options, and those food options were more normalized, you could create a greater demand that gets us further away from factory farms and chain restaurants. Instead, the only option pushed for decades is being a vegetarian and replacing burgers with fake burgers and replacing milk with fake milk and pretending that it will magically fix everything. The fact that food is not local, shipped all over the place, and a large percentage ends up in landfills, is a huge general problem and it's a shame that public education doesn't include farming knowledge.

  3433. I'm the opposite. I think the character is really stale at this point. They are literally just repeating the same scenes from old movies. I look forward to seeing a new character and someone who can actually act instead of just walking around with a stone face like Daniel Craig. When they changed Starbuck in Battlestar Gallactica from a man to a woman it was the same reaction, but people ended up loving the character.

  3440. "Vaccine or test" assumes that you cannot transmit Covid if vaccinated. We've known that isn't true for almost two years now.... So I really don't understand how you still think that that is a reasonable policy. It literally makes no sense. Making sure that vaccines, PPE, and tests are free and easily available is the only policy we should have had. Everything else was just a distraction fueling a nonsense culture war.

  3448. Trump only cares about Trump and he will undermine any 2024 Republican primary no matter what. I think there is a good chance that Trump is going to pretend to run up until the last minute and then pull out, completely undermining any Republican nominee. Also I think Trump knows that deep down he lost in 2020.... His ego cannot withstand losing again so if it looks like Biden will win re-election Trump will pull out in order to save face.

  3454. 1. And those two people are just as dumb, arguably more so. 2. Yup, idiotic tribalism comes in all shapes and sizes. Same thing in Africa , there can be many different tribes in a country, from our perspective they can be all black/brown, but as soon as there is an election a lot of times it comes down to what tribe they belong to. Being in a tribe is something innate in humans that allowed us to survive, but it makes us really stupid in the modern age. Same mentality behind gangs, many join just to survive and then it becomes their identity. So the Irish were "the other" until they were assimilated and people could hate on polish and other immigrants. Eventually people will realize they are being stupid since we're all virtually the same genetically. However if aliens came to earth it would be humans vs aliens. 3. Already black, but if I turned white for a few weeks I'm sure I would be shocked by the casual racism of other white people when there aren't any black people around. I've certainly heard the "I've got that one racist uncle" stories from my white friends. 4. And my argument is "So what"..... We have people who abuse the speed limits, drive drunk, etc. does that mean we should eliminate cars because a small percentage of people abuse traffic regulations? Pretty much every system that exists has some percentage of abuse. However liberals don't have this constant irrational fear that conservatives have, so we look at overall costs vs benefits and the people who are impacted. Do you realize that historically immigration is practically nothing today compared to what it was in the 19th and early 20th century. Between 1800 and 1900 the population of the US would grow 30% or more each decade purely from immigration. The country didn't implode because of it, instead it became a world superpower.

  3456. I have no idea what studies Francesca is referring to, but all the long-term studies I've seen have clearly shown that prior infection has about the same protection against reinfection as being vaccinated and boosted. All vaccines do is simulate an infection without the damaging effects of getting an infection so that the body can build an immune response to it. There is no magic beyond what the body already does against infections. I have no idea why it became a religion among some people.
    2
  3457. I seriously don't get people who say that natural immunity isn't "perfect protection" while at the same time acknowledging "breakthrough infections" happen while vaccinated. It's completely idiotic and contradictory to hold those two beliefs at the same time. At that point it is more than religion than science. Obviously neither is "perfect" protection. The fact is a prior infection is as good if not better than fully vaccinated plus booster with Pfizer. There is no magic to the vaccines, It's literally the same mechanism. Except that recovering from an infection is generally has longer and more robust protection (against a serious reinfection) than just being exposed to the spike protein created by messenger RNA.

  3458. Clearly you have some kind of bias against AOC for some reason, but for someone who was just elected to congress 2/1/2 years ago and has never expressed any kind of presidential ambitions to get 7% of the poll is pretty impressive. If you're surprised that Bernie went up 2% you should be even more surprised that AOC went up 3%. I'm actually surprised that Bernie isn't even higher quite honestly. He ran for president twice and yet he has only 5% more than a freshmen congresswoman.

Did you miss the video just after this one where a Trump supporting vet threatens to punch and gun down a bunch of anti-trump protesters, many of which were vets themselves? Did you miss Trump calling for violence against protesters at his rally and people actually doing that? Did you miss the 30% increase in hate crimes across the country ever since Trump's election? Did you miss the 226% increase in hate crimes specifically in places where Trump has held a rally? You have some audacity pretending you have some sort of moral high ground when it comes to violence, but you don't. You're just wearing a hat.

  3463. I also didn't wear a seatbelt yesterday and did not get into a car accident. OMG seatbelts don't work!... Clearly there is no reason for seatbelts right? I didn't wear one and nothing happened... The conversation around masks in this country is completely ridiculous and I like how Saagar pretends to hate the politicization of wearing masks while at the same time making it entirely political every day. If you're distrustful of everything the government says because of something that Fauci said over a year ago and then long since corrected OVER A YEAR AGO, but are perfectly okay with Trump lying about Covid and magic Covid cures every single day then you're either an idiot or a political hack.

  3464. 1. Trump should've been impeached regardless of the Senate, because that's their duty when a guy is clearly abusing the office. 2. The GOP started impeachment Day 1 to go on a fishing expedition with NOTHING. Completely different. 3. Cashing in on your name is as American as apple pie and baseball. Blame capitalism. 4. Cashing in on your presidency as Trump, Ivanka, & Jared did is actual corruption and is illegal.

  3466. Putin is already taking that chance of nuclear confrontation. The fact that the west is unwilling to take that 2% chance is why Putin thinks the west is weak and he can do whatever he wants and take any country he wants. If Putin decides to take a NATO country next would your position be the same? Because it sounds like in your mind the line for Putin doesn't exist, but the line for US is to not do anything that could be seen as aggressive.

  3467. Let's make one thing clear Kyle... The whole email scandal with Clinton was that she wanted to keep using her Blackberry. She is a grandma not some email security expert. The people she hired didn't do a good job of securing the server that was setup for her and BTW Trump, Ivanka, and many others in Trump's administration ALSO communicated emails over insecure channels and private servers. What Clinton DID NOT DO was TAKE classified materials after she left office and spend a YEAR AND A HALF refusing to give those classified materials back while storing them in a broom closet. What Clinton did was at most negligent in not knowing whether her server was secure or not, what Trump did was INTENTIONAL. I'm no fan of Hillary, but to compare those two things is absolutely absurd. The bias that you have against Clinton pretty much blinds you to "both sides" everything when it's not anywhere close.

I say "pretending" because 40,000 people traveled here from China after Trump's supposed "ban" and no those people were not even tested. 😂 It's sad when people mindlessly repeat talking points from lying politicians. Even sadder when people do so after tens of thousands of their fellow Americans died needlessly.

All of which literally led to hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. Get back to me when you give a shit about the hundreds of seniors dying in FL every week right now.

  3479. I honestly have no idea what strategy would work against Putin. Clearly Putin is more motivated by ideology over the material needs of his people, so when someone says he's not acting "rational" they're probably referring to that ideological motivation. Obviously, we shouldn't provoke a direct confrontation, but at the same time I don't think it is as simple as one airstrike means immediate nuclear war either. Unfortunately, dancing on that line of direct confrontation is the only card we have to play. Putin sees the west as weak. What reason does Putin have to negotiate without the threat of confrontation? You do realize that all of Putin's threats thus far are to give Russia a better bargaining position, right?
    2
  3480.  @jonnybirchyboy1560  I wasn't proposing anything. However, attacking a country with EU/US partnerships for the purpose of annexing it is far more insane. The only country with documented use of nuclear weapons in a conflict is the US. Putin also claimed that sanctions would be an act of war. "Saving face" for Putin right now is taking Ukraine. He believes the West is too weak to do anything about it and he can just ride out the sanctions. How exactly do you propose changing that calculous? Asking nicely? And if Putin is successfully, what's stopping China from taking Taiwan? Or stopping Putin from taking other Soviet era countries? He has made it clear that he has intent to do so. All I'm saying is that Scarborough isn't entirely wrong about calling people's bluff. Yes, it is a very dangerous and insane situation, but the fact is you need leverage to negotiate, mean words and protests aren't enough for a dictator who wants to start taking countries. Now I don't think that the US should start shooting down planes, but I do think the US should provide arms and support to Ukraine to make taking the country as difficult and painful as possible. That's where I draw the line today. I'm also open to making the case for shooting down planes that target civilians or nuclear power stations, without actually doing it. so that at least the threat is out there, hopefully causing Putin to rethink targeting those things.

SpaceX IS government funded and they've basically accomplished the same thing that NASA was doing with the Space Shuttle 40 years ago... Even Tesla wouldn't have existed if it weren't for the money from Obama's green energy programs. He got lucky with PayPal, even though that wasn't even his product either, and has been riding it ever since with constant false promises and nonsense claims. Yet people seem to think he is Tony Stark. Well I guess he is like Iron Man in that he is just a fabricated character designed to make money by getting people infatuated with fantastic stories.

You really need to let investigations take place before immediately demanding that someone steps down. Otherwise all you're doing is just feeding into the "cancel culture" narrative. Be critical Ana, but if we don't give people an opportunity to apologize and atone for their mistakes then you'll just encourage politicians like Trump who never apologize or atone for anything.

  3493.  @vladgaming6285  Sorry, but you had the same idiots in the 60s pretending that there weren't racial issues then. Those same people also pretended that MLK's protests were violent. This is no different than what we have today. People like you pretending there aren't issues that need to be addressed and pretending that people speaking out against injustice are protesting wrong. Don't worry, people like you who choose to be ignorant to the injustice that happens around them will also be forgotten by history.
    2
  3494.  @vladgaming6285  Sorry, but despite your white washing of history, most Americans disapproved of MLK just before his assassination. Where they all racists then? 60% of people polled thought that his march on Washington would cause violence and not accomplish anything. Again, this is no different than your attitude today. You have the luxury of looking back on history and knowing what was right after the dust settled but you are obviously ignorant on what is right today. A study of 10,000 BLM protests showed that 95% were peaceful. So you are wrong. Never mind the fact that a lot of the violence and looting that occurred with people not even affiliated with the BLM protests. Nearly all arrests for rioting and looting in the early Minnesota protests were people associated to white supremacists groups specifically there to instigate violence. Of course you will always have opportunist who use unrest and chaos to enact violence or crime. Regardless, if you decide to smear an entire movement because of the actions of a few then it's the same kind of logic that a racist expresses against black people.

  3505. I don't agree with her being fired, however... Disney is a business. Many people following Carano on social media are likely following her specifically because of her role on a Disney+ show. I can understand how Disney would want to protect their image, especially for a person who they feel might say something worse in the future. Imagine if they spent a hundred million dollars giving her a show only to have her say something outrageous on social media by the time episode 2 comes out... That is a huge financial risk to make on a person. They probably just didn't want to take the risk.

  3506. Hispanic people aren't a monolith Ana.... Just because there's a poll that says most Hispanic people don't use the term "Latinx" doesn't mean there aren't a lot of Hispanic people who do use that term. Just like 15 years ago a lot of Americans didn't use the term "transgender". That doesn't mean it wasn't a valid term and didn't apply to people. So to say "they don't use the term" because it wasn't popular in a poll a couple years ago is silly.

No one decided it was inappropriate to make that observation or bring that up whenever there was a serial killer on the lose. No one ever thought or implied that being "white" or "male" caused you to be a serial killer. This is absolutely no different than what Don Lemon said, who never implied that being white caused someone to be a terrorist. Honestly I feel that if it came from a white anchor this would have been a non-issue.

  3518.  @thebigbadwolf1374  This is the same man who paid 25 million for a sham "Trump University" before getting sworn in. Then he had his charity (Trump Foundation) shut down for "self dealing". Never mind all the legal problems Trump has had in the years before he ran for president and the years of evading taxes. It's not strange for a serial con man to have legal problems and criminal charges. The only strange part is how people have fooled themselves into somehow thinking he is innocent. The guy is literally on tape bragging about grabbing women in the genitals and has several women come forward saying he did exactly that. This is surprising to you after he got caught paying off a porn star he had sex with while his wife was pregnant? Really? This is not strange at all. The guy is a POS and always has been.

  3519. This is what happens when you base an entire system on credit and debt... Bad situations are inevitable in a system RIGGED to benefit a few at the expense of the middle class and poor who feed the system. Parents don't want to hurt their kids, but when when faced with a situation where you have to choose between potentially ruining your childs credit vs. food, clothing, & shelter for your family The choice is obvious. Ideally we would live in a society where tthat choice doesn't exist...

Not sure what kind of "smarts" you're referring to. It's not like we think that Trump managed anything personally, he can't even manage the white house.

  3524.  @MHiggins  Then perhaps the real problem is that we constantly put all of our hopes and dreams on a messiah to lead us. Pretending that it's Obama's responsibility to save us. is a problem.

  3525. Trump didn't start any kind of backlash against the establishment, I would argue that it started earlier with the Tea Party before it got coopted by special interests. Trump never cared about abortion, he's the same as all other politicians who pretends to care about an issue for power. So I have no idea why Cenk would give Trump credit for literally doing the same thing that nearly ALL other politicians do.
    2
  3526. I don't entirely agree with that... I honestly don't think throwing these people in jail will magically stop anyone from setting off a smoke bomb in the future. It's the same issue with people thinking that the death penalty stops murders, when there are far less homicides in countries without the death penalty. We really need to get out of this vindictive mindset that pretends that punishing people harshly when bad things happen will magically solves the problem. In some cases it does, but in most cases it really doesn't.

  3528. Al Franken should not have resigned... This whole thing smelled like bullshit to me from the very beginning. We're basically subverting democracy and letting coordinated smear campaign decide who should be and should not be in office. Meanwhile we have the sexual deviant in chief in office admitting to sexual assault on tape who is supporting another politician who is on record as being a sexual predator. Completely agree with Cenk. If Al Franken thinks he's not guilty then he should let the investigations play out instead of committing seppuku on something he believes is not true.

  3530.  @Negativezero48  Some people do in fact eat large salads as as their primary meal... Not sure where you get the idea that people never eat lettuce for calories. The number of buffalo a couple hundred years ago pretty much equaled the number of cows in the US today. Also I never said we a required to eat cows at the same rate we do today. People are fixated on cows as if that is the only measurement for meat consumption. Rabbits are highly sustainable and have a super low carbon footprint. You can also choose not to buy pork and chicken from factory farms, but rather local farms that practice sustainability. We cannot sustain our current ecosystem on just plants. Even our industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels in the form of petrochemicals for pesticides and fertilizers.

  3531.  @hematadopormenos  How are my arguments "nonsensical"? You were obviously wrong on the facts in some of your comments. So to turn around and call my arguments nonsensical without any basis for it, seems more like you have a dogmatic attachment to your ideas rather than a rational one. The fact is factory farming, whether it's plants or animals, is damaging to the planet. What I said about rampant use of fossil fuels (petrochemicals) in farming is entirely correct. It's unsustainable. We have to learn how to manage ecosystems of plants and animals as opposed to just treating life like a machine. This is something that Native Americans knew all to well.

  3533. 04:00 You thought WikiLeaks was telling the truth? Really? Dude it was clear from the beginning that Assange had an AGENDA, he pretty much said that his goal was to take Hillary down and the timing of the hack and release of the emails wasn't somehow a coincidence. Everyone who didn't see that it was planned effort and that Assange was covering his tracks were just too fucking distracted with "OMG! we have secret private conversations in DNC emails!" and so you purposely ignored the reasons for why those emails were released, you also ignored the reasons why the RNC emails WERE NOT released when they were also reported to be hacked.... This is how easy it is to manipulate the political discussion in this country, because you get distracted with juicy gossip instead of the real story. Now you're all like "omg how could the great establishment known as WikiLeaks betray my trust!...". Dude, they're PEOPLE just because they did something good once doesn't somehow mean they are perfect and infallible. On the flip side just because the government lied once about WMD 15 years ago doesn't suddenly mean everything they say now is a lie and that all of those intelligence agencies are all lying about Russian interference when they have no reason to. You have to take each case on it's merits

  3536.  @eliasothman8440  The "n word" has been used for over 200 years during slavery and Jim Crow SPECIFICALLY to oppress black people and treat them as if they were less than white people.... Again, how are you so oblivious as to why that might be racist? Are you really that clueless as to why something used for racism, death, and torture, might be a sensitive thing? Are you also clueless as to why a woman might not want the child of someone who raped her repeatedly? It's not the child's fault so the woman shouldn't care right? Or maybe that child, just like white people saying the "n word", might be a reminder of a SUPER HORRIBLE TIME as well as the horrible racist experiences that black people still go through today. It really isn't that hard to figure out.

  3538. When you lie far more than other presidents then lying becomes the story. No different than the fact that Covid 19 is a story because it is far more pervasive and infectious than other respiratory illness. So I would say to you Emma, I know we are sick of talking about Trump's lying, but why pretend that Obama's press secretary lying or Bush lying makes it less of a story?
    2
  3539.  Mauris  Just because something is possible, doesn't mean that everyone in the country is going to do it. I'm pretty sick of bullshit arguments that pretend that just because people can make guns and ammo, that somehow gun laws and regulations won't make a difference, because they do make a difference. It's just as dumb as saying murder and pedophilia should be legal because people of the people who break the laws and still do it.
    2
  3540.  Mauris  No the 2nd amendment says that the right to bear arms in contingent on the necessity of a militia. It doesn't say that a militia "can be used". NOWHERE in the 2nd amendment does it say or imply that a militia is "optional". So your statement is a total lie.
    2
  3541.  PUPPET ACTRESS  It's part of the same sentence so it actually does imply that. If those two things weren't related they wouldn't even be in the same paragraph let alone the same sentence.... You know this very well, so don't pretend that the founders somehow didn't know basic grammar.
    2
  3542.  PUPPET ACTRESS  Yeah for the purpose of a regulated militia. Sorry, there is no "but" in that sentence or paragraph. No matter how much you try to separate those things, it's all part of the same sentence and paragraph.
    2
  3543.  Mauris  Do you know how commas work? 😂 "1. a punctuation mark (,) indicating a pause between parts of a sentence." You guys like to pretend these are separate sentences in separate paragraphs. Sorry, they're not... If I say to you "I'm going to become a doctor, therefore I'm spending 8 years in med school." The second part of that sentence is NOT somehow unrelated to the beginning... The only point of people bearing arms is to support a well regulated militia. That's what the effing sentence says. Deal with it and quit your bullshit.
    2
  3544. ​ Mauris  Yeah I had to Google it for you because clearly you don't know what a comma means. "Nice straw man." Do I need to Google "Straw Man" for you too? Because your argument is in fact based on the idea that the sentence in the 2nd Amendment, represents two completely unrelated concepts. That is your assertion right? How else would one interpret your argument. "A well stocked library, being necessary to an educated public, the right of the people to own and read books shall not be infringed." Sorry, that is a nonsensical sentence and not a single part of it is related to what the 2nd amendment says. To "own" something is not the same as "keep". "Bear" is not the same as "to read" Not a single part of it is related no matter how you try to force it. -"Nowhere does it say it is the only way" What it DOES NOT SAY is that the people "bearing" ("carrying" or at most "brandishing") arms is related to a person's right to SHOOT people and protect themselves on an individual basis. It NEVER once says that, but that is what you people make it out to be. The ONLY context that is given for keeping and bearing arms is in the service of a state militia. The 2nd amendment was created to get slave states to ratify the constitution PERIOD. It was about state power vs federal power. It had absolutely nothing to do INDIVIDUAL protections otherwise it would have stated something like: "Self preservation and self defense are important for personal freedom, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". But that ISN'T what it says does it? It talks about "state militias" because that is precisely what the 2nd amendment was for. The only person making shit up here is you. You're making up individual protections when there is nothing in the 2nd amendment that says ANYTHING about individual protections.

  3545.  PUPPET ACTRESS  The beginning of the sentence makes it clear what the latter part is for. Just like any other sentence.

  3546. Geez way to just prove Trump right Francesca... Why even apologize or even make an attempt to better yourself when the only response is "I've already made up my mind about you and whatever you're saying now is only because of money"? And to John's comment about "what normal person has a spokesperson", well what normal person has a YouTube show? When your position is that someone who is more popular and successful than you cannot be relatable or genuine, then it sounds like you're coming from a place of jealousy more than anything else. Does Jon Oliver's success also invalidate his opinions? I don't even watch/listen to Joe Rogan, but the constant crying from people who would love to have the same audience is just amazing to me.

  3547. You can be Mexican and white as well as black/afro, but sure go ahead and shamelessly use your heritage as cover while you lie about discrimination and racism in the Democratic party and ignore actual self proclaimed white supremacists in the Republican party. The GOP can always use people like you who are willing to sell themselves out in order to parrot their talking points.

  3548. Wow that's just pathetic,.. I actually feel sad for Bryan Fischer It's one thing to use religion to try and gain insight. It's another to use religion as something to "cling to" in order to feel better about yourself. Bryan clearly falls into the latter category. Even if he's gained followers, wealth, and influence from his causes. In the end he's still a pityful human being who will die frightened and ignorant.

  3550. Emma is basically describing the phenomena that happens in just about every single country on earth. There is always a certain degree of lionizing of political figures and fetishizing of norms and historical traditions. That isn't what led to Trump. In fact Trump spent 4 years creating his own mythology about himself and got Fox, OANN, Newsmax, etc. to go along with it. We like to think we're above the mythology, but in reality that's what politics mostly is... Mythology and Money.

  3551. Criticizing people for not finding non-binary people "cute" is kinda the same as expecting non-binary people to conform to a specific gender. You can't project your expectations on other people.

They're telling on themselves when they feel compelled to defend literal Nazis...

  3554. Vivianna spreading some misinformation here... Variants don't come from general "unvaccinated people" they come from immunocompromised people who get sick, because they are unable to fight off the virus it lives in their body for a long time and eventually mutates. We don't know specifically where Omicron came from, but the best guess is that it came from someone with HIV who could have been carrying the virus for a year because it is a variant of the original strain and not Delta. Vaccines don't stop transmission of Covid. They stop symptoms and hospitalizations with covid. People have been spreading this false idea that the vaccines stop transmission, but they don't, they only help with severe symptoms. Even if everyone in the world was vaccinated the virus would still transmit from person to person and can end up in an immunocompromised person and cause a mutation. There is also a significant "animal reservoir" where many animals wild and domesticated have been infected with the virus and can spread it back to humans.

  3555. 02:42 "Hunter Biden working with a Chinese billionaire".... Um okay, so what? If you asked these people if Trump or Ivanka had done business with a Chinese billionaire, they would say "Um okay, so what?" It's amazing how they are manipulated into thinking something is controversial.

  3556. To be "Islamophobic" you would have to first understand that something is Islam... Based on the video it sounded like the teacher had no idea what they were doing, or why they were in her office. Since one of he kids is obviously smiling, it seems like they were trying to create a viral video. Why would you record yourself praying to being with? This looks like it could have been resolved with a conversation like "Hey these kids are Muslim, is it okay for them to use your office for their daily prayers?". Instead we get to all say "tut tut, bad teacher" and feel good about ourselves because she got fired for not knowing what was going on.

  3557. Jared Kushner (and his wife Ivanka) worked in the white house as white house advisors. Their wealth skyrocketed by hundreds of millions as a result of the access they had. Hunter was a former VP's kid and used his name to get good jobs and sell paintings. Just like Megan McCain getting a good job on the View because of her name. There is a difference between corruption and nepotism.

  3562. John, you have ZERO evidence that Colin got Covid from someone unvaccinated and yet you keep repeating this talking point because you've been brainwashed by the vax/antivax nonsense culture war. Countries with far higher vaccination rates are still spreading Covid, most likely we're going to be living with this virus for a long time. I really doubt Colin Powell in his condition was hanging out with unvaccinated people. There's probably a far greater chance that he actually caught it from someone vaccinated.

Everything has to be in simplistic sound bites, because like I said you guys are not smart enough to actually understand "nuance".

  3569. Ana... The people who are holding us hostage over profits are the pharmaceutical companies. Most of the world doesn't even have access to the vaccine so "variants" are FAR more likely to come from other countries than the US. The Delta variant did not come from this country and the next one won't either. However pharmaceutical companies focus more on 1st world countries because that's where their profits come from. So unless we increase the GLOBAL supply of vaccines the virus is going to continue to mutate.

  3571. Medicare for all, by definition, means to apply a medicare like system to everyone in the country. That is fundamentally NOT what Yang is proposing. Pretending that he supports applying Medicare to all is in fact a LIE. Your wall of text is based on nothing but a straw man.
    2
  3572.  @makelvin  LOL... The reason Yang doesn't say he wants Medicare to apply to "all ages" is because Yang does not support Medicare For All. 😂 It's pretty simple dude... Nowhere in Sander's bill does it say that private insurance is not allowed. Just that private insurance can't charge people for the same benefits they already get under Medicare. So it is in fact disingenuous for you to keep pretending that it's not Medicare which is simply single payer insurance beyond a certain age Bernie Sanders has spent nearly two decade promoting Medicare For All. We are not going to let lying politicians hijack "Medicare For All" and ride his coattails simply because it is now popular.
    2
  3573.  @makelvin  Again, Bernie's actual bill that he wrote in 2019 DOES NOT BAN HEALTH INSURANCE. It only bans health insurance companies from covering what someone already get's under Medicare. If you want health insurance to cover plastic surgery or a trip to a specialist in Zurich, or something not covered then you're more than welcome to do so. You can make up whatever bs that you want, but unlike Yang Sanders has an actual detailed bill that he is running on. Not just vague political promises. Again, NOWHERE in Yang's vague plan does he offer medicare for everyone, sorry. That does not exist and you're simply lying about it plain and simple. The fact is he said in this interview that he is only working towards the "vision of universal coverage". So sure keep lying to make yourself feel better. Just like a standard politician.

  3574.  @mimsc2914  Older people who haven't gotten covid should get the jab, because it's the safest way to deal with the virus, but yeah, they took the culture war over vaccinations way too far. No reason for children to get vaccinated. No reason for mandates.

  3575.  @TomVonDeck  Can't agree with you more man. It's sad what's happening. I've been in the exact same boat. Everyone needs to chill for a second instead of just treating everyone like caricatures and reacting to every little thing the right wing does.

  3576.  @sisuguillam5109  That's actually not true. Omicron is not deadlier for kids and most kids in ICUs have underlying conditions. Stop fear mongering. Most people in ICUs are the same demographics as we had over the summer. Omicron spreads faster so we're in the middle of a peak.

  3579. The fact that the left is treating Pelosi's ice-cream and fridge as a legitimate story is the sad part here.... I DON'T EFFING CARE ABOUT PELOSI'S ICE-CREAM.... We're just going to pretend that Trump didn't run as a billionaire who had his own products made in China and spent the last 3 years talking about how rich he is? Look, I've supported Bernie Sanders for at least 15 years now. However being butt hurt about Sanders losing is not an excuse to join in with Trump and pretend that non-policy related attacks on Pelosi is somehow legitimate... The only reason why the Right looks strong is because the Left is so fundamentally WEAK and this is a perfect example. We will concede anything that has the smallest grain of truth even while 45,000 Americans are literally dead from Trump's mismanagement.

  3581.  @patchwurk6652  I don't know the distinction you're making between "shaming" and saying something is a dumb idea that will get Republicans elected. The Majority Report literally made this argument about people being strategic with their votes in the last two presidential elections. So, without some kind of real world example or a reason for why a specific statement from a specific person is "bad". it seems like a very vague and pointless topic. I don't think sitting back and telling people "it doesn't matter who you vote for" or "elections don't have consequences" is smart either.

  3583. There's kind of a big difference between knowing whether you need a vaccine to take a job or go to a certain school vs. suddenly in the middle of your employment being forced to get a vaccine otherwise you'll lose your job. That's sort of like saying because we allow discrimination in certain context (ladies nights, for example) therefore discrimination in all forms should be okay.

  3584. The right wing always needs some group to hate. Like a dog with a chew toy.

  3585. Not hard to understand. MLK understood it perfectly decades ago: "Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. ... But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again."

  3607. We spent about 2 million years evolving into hunter gatherers. Cooking actually makes vegetables more palatable than meat. As long as it's fresh there is almost no meat that you couldn't eat raw. However there are quite a few plants that are toxic when eaten raw. The discussion about sustainability has to involved both plants AND animals. You cannot create the ecosystem that exists today with just plants. Maybe that means switching to smaller animals and insects, but fossil fuels and petrochemicals for fertilizers and pesticides are basically what modern agriculture relies on. That isn't sustainable even if you took cows out of the equation.

  3608. @UCrjme9fH4Kw0nM0uIBOtaxw Again, "resisting" is not supposed to be a death sentence. I don't understand how we got to the point where people actually think it is... No matter what an unarmed person does, shooting them in the back of the head is not a valid response. Blaming a victim who was murdered is no different than blaming a woman who was raped as "consequences" for going to a party or dressing a certain way. The cop chose to escalate the situation and chose to shoot an unarmed person in the back of the head. If he continued to "talk" no one would be dead right now. If he asked for backup, no one would be dead right now. If he just let the guy walk away and impounded his car. No one would be dead right now. How in your mind is society made "better" by a cops killing unarmed people? Do you think society would be better if cops pulled people over with their guns drawn ready to shoot? We pay cops to make society better and safer for us, we don't pay them to kill people who don't comply. I really don't understand people who think that authority is there for the sake of authority.

  3613. What the hell is wrong with you Kyle? First of a non-profit is not the same as a for profit *business*. What kind of false equivalency is that? Secondly you impeach because it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO not because of politics. So cops should say "what's in it for me?" before they arrest someone? I guess everyone should have supported Clinton then during the primaries too because it would be politically better for the democrats right? Lastly you can impeach that asshole AND focus on the right policies at the same time. Political capital isn't somehow a finite resource. Keep doing the right thing and you'll have more "capital" to spare. Keep running away from a fight because you're worried about the "politics" and eventually your capital runs out, just like it did for Clinton.

Whereas I'm quoting a recent study that says that only 0.8% children actually end up with long covid and that most cases of long covid end within 1-5 months. With other studies showing most symptoms end within 3 months. How exactly is it "paranoia" when I'm saying there is less that children have to worry about? I'm sorry, but you have it entirely backwards.

Maybe it isn't a bad idea to proceed with 5 or 6 things as grounds for impeachment instead of 28...

Some people will never be "human" in people's eyes. He thinks that the only "terrorists" are Hamas yet fails to see the terrorism, segregation, and apartheid against the Palestinians by the Israeli government. The bottom line is, you're not going to eliminate "terrorists" in Gaza by killing people's families and creating more terrorists or allowing the apartheid to continue. The occupation has always been the source of the problem.

I don't think it's right to punish someone because other black men have gotten injustice. Punishing other people based on the injustice given to others doesn't make you a good person, it just means you learned how to pass injustice onto other people. We should be punishing the system and the training instead of pretending as if a person getting a long sentence somehow "fixes" something. No John, I don't think cops around the country are going to suddenly not make mistakes if this person got 20 years instead of 2. To me that is just as dumb as thinking that capital punishment would fix traffic accidents.

Abrahamic religions reached a dead end long ago. However we should still learn from them, embrace our agnosis, and explore new possibilities together.

  3638. Are you referring to the debt that the US owes to China? If so, that's a lot more than $500k it's over a 1 trillion. Anyone can buy treasury bonds and China's portion is only a small portion of the 21 Trillion dollars in debt that is owned around the world. However this story wasn't about US debt (which is only made worse by the tax cuts he just made) it was about our president doing favors to Chinese corporations in order to make money for himself and his family in their Chinese dealings. It's classic pay to play corruption. Why own earth should the president be helping a Chinese company and Chinese jobs? Does that honestly make any sense to you? Be honest... If this were Obama or Clinton in office going out of their way to help a Chinese company and Chinese jobs, and you knew they were getting kickbacks from the Chinese government, would you really just be okay with that? Or do you think Fox News would be going 24/7 on how they would be committing treason at the expense of American jobs?

  3640. A recent study on Covid and elite athletes found that only 2% had moderate symptoms of Covid. In other words, all the rest had either mild symptoms or no symptoms (asymptomatic). If you're in a bracket where you have a 100% survival rate of Covid, then you're not "lucky" to survive Covid, that is the norm. It's really not unusual for people who have spent their entire lives being hyper vigilant about what goes into their body to have animosity towards getting forcefully vaccinated against something they have little to worry about medically.

Geez Emma, not everyone lives in a major city to take public transportation.... 🤦‍♂ I've disliked Elon Musk's BS tactics for years now, but focusing on an accident causing a few injuries when over a hundred people died that day in "normal "car accidents is kind of silly to me. Accidents like this literally happen every single day in this country. It is so normalized that people dying in this way never even makes the news. More than *45,000 people die in car accidents each year*. The potential for self driving cars is to eventually save thousands of lives, by eliminating human error, people being tired or intoxicated behind the wheel. Of course there will be hiccups along the way, but there is no way to actually fix those problems without doing testing on actual roads. In some places creating a shuttle system with existing roads and infrastructure would be a lot easier and cheaper than a rail system. Especially in places with mountains, lots of residential property, etc. etc.

  3656.  @jamesjabs3517  Calling people names doesn't make your arguments any better. 1. The fact that criminals can obtain guns in "many ways" doesn't change the fact that they can obtain them far easier with fewer restrictions 2. Cities all over the world have higher rates of crime because of population density. However when you factor for population density and poverty and look at per capita homicides, it clearly shows more homicides happen when there are more guns. 3. No one ever claimed that crime wouldn't happen without guns. However it is clear that more guns = more homicides and suicides. Sorry, but your personal fears doesn't change basic facts.

  3659.  @James--Parker  Your quote says "At least 12 days after vaccination" and in the secondary analysis compares the at least 12 days groups to to those after 4 and 6 days. Nowhere doesn't it state or imply any significant period after 12 days. So I don't think I'm misunderstanding anything. It might be 13 or 14 days, but it's not going to be months. especially since the UK just started their booster program. So it's not like they would have any data on long term results anyway. As far as testing. I'm not talking about Israel, I'm talking about this country. The perception in this country is that people who are vaccinated aren't spreading the virus. So they don't get tested as often. Which is a dangerous assumption for people to make. Especially as they gather around friends and family this holiday season. According to that study they observed a huge drop in protection against infection after just 2-3 months. There's a difference between "infection" and manifesting symptoms, hospitalization, and death. The risk of infection and transmission is going to increase long before risk of having a serious illness. So when you say 5 months you're talking about the risk of serious illness. Of course this is on a continuum so it's not like your protection is perfect at 5 months or completely gone by 7. Also I haven't seen anything comparing vaccinated adults to children when it comes to being asymptomatic or transmission so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.

  3660. I wasn't surprised that Florida's numbers were lower for three reasons... Sunshine, Saltwater, and Selenium. Florida is consistently warmer than other states, including California. It was also discovered early that people with adequate levels of selenium are less likely to die from Covid and people in Florida consume an enormous amount of crab and shellfish. That along with he fact that most of the border is a beach is probably a good reason why Covid didn't spread as easily. California obviously also has lots of beaches, but it's also filled with lots of hills, mountains, valleys, etc. that just don't exist in Florida which could easily be covered by the entire ocean if the water raised by a couple hundreds feet. Furthermore most of the major cities in Florida are on the coast. I would guess that the salt air that easily travels over Florida also has an effect in reducing the spread. Whereas a lot of California cities are a lot further inland, with hills, tall buildings, etc. Florida doesn't have a lot of tall buildings because of hurricanes so that ocean air can just sweep all across most of the state without much obstruction. That is my guess.

We're looking at each other as caricatures and architypes and it's very dangerous to our society to keep going down this path.

They did wage and continue to wage a disinformation campaign on social media and other outlets to influence US politics. They did in fact infiltrate political groups in the US in order to manipulate policy. There were in fact dozens of arrests and indictments issues related to investigating Russia's involvement. Donald Trump was investigated and there was no evidence directly tying him to Russias interference, however he was found to have obstructed justice ten times during the investigation. These are all documented facts. And after the investigation, Democrats shut up about it because they respect the process. Meanwhile mass voter fraud was investigated in several states with over 60 court cases. And even AFTER all of those cases were laughed out of court. You still have Republicans pretending their was mass voter fraud to the point where they incited an insurrection at the Capitol... I don't recall any insurrection or threats of violence because "Russia". I don't recall elected officials implying that the FBI was "in on it".

  3675.  @Nihil847  I don't know the definition you're referring to but there really wasn't much of an internet prior to 1998, Google didn't even exist prior to that year. All I know is that the racism fought against for many decades was the broader social, cultural, structural issues that oppressed people. People weren't struggling against someone saying something mean to them. For example, a show like "All in the Family" or "The Jeffersons" where it was normal for characters to use derogatory language towards different ethnic groups couldn't exist today. So I think the generic definition of racism is a result of modern sensibilities. Also, no worries. I'm not taking anything personally and I hold no ill will to you either. I've enjoying the conversation because it has given me a chance to formalize the views I've had in my head for a long time.

  3676.  @davidescobar3368  Saying they got it "wrong" stretches reality a bit. Personally I don't think anyone was wrong or right about Russia gate. The only difference is what Mueller investigated vs what he didn't investigate and what people chose to focus on. Do you honestly think that Cenk thought that Trump called up Putin and said "hey, help me win this election "? I don't think so and I don't think he ever made an argument in that way. Did Jimmy or Kyle think that Trump did not have any questionable business dealings with Russia? No I don't think they would say that either. Everyone has been saying the same thing since the beginning that Trump has questionable financial ties and illegal dealings. Once side has been saying that the Russia Investigation will shed a light on Trump's financial dealings with Russian Oligarchs as a motivation for why Trump wanted to help those Russian oligarchs as president as well as why Putin helped Trump during the 2016 election. The other side has been saying focusing on Russia gate and the 2016 election and using that as an excuse for why Clinton lost is not something we should be focusing on. I don't think either argument is wrong or right, because I don't think there is anyone who thinks that Trump is not corrupted in a variety of ways. it's just a different focus on the same problem. Does anyone really not think that Trump shouldn't have been investigated at all? OF COURSE NOT. So this constant in fighting and wining about what people should be focused on has always been really silly to me. The Mueller investigation was important. ALL the other investigations that came out of he Mueller investigation is important. Congress winning back the house and starting their own investigations is ALSO important. The State investigations that have been started are also important. The constant bickering back and forth was really not that important.

  3679. Incorrect. A higher percentage of brown people typically vote for Democrats. Not knowing that distinction is the difference between someone trying to win votes vs. a racist. For example George Bush won nearly half the Latino vote in 2004 this was up 10% in 2000, because clearly he appealed more to their concerns at the time. However if your answer to more brown people voting for other candidates is to get rid of brown people or to demonize brown people, then you're just a racist.

There is a clear ideology and reason for why the shooter in El Paso killed people. Donald Trump and Fox News have clearly been spread that ideology since his election. There is still yet an unknown reason for why the person in Dayton killed his own sister and 8 other people. You're looking for some dumb label based on tribalism rather than an actual reason for the shootings.

  3682. Piers says that Hamas "should have known" what the retaliation should have been for Oct 7th, yet it's a amazing that he doesn't apply the same logic to Israel. One could easily say that Israel "should have known" that Oct 7th would have happened based on the years of Palestinian deaths, oppression, and Apartheid up until that point. Yet people aren't allowed to make the opposite argument, we can only accept thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths based on the actions of Hamas, but no deaths can be expected based on the actions of Israel.

  3684. Again.... Recent studies show that people who are vaccinated can still transmit Covid almost as well as someone who is unvaccinated. And if you were vaccinated more than two months ago, then there is almost NO DIFFERENCE when it comes to transmitting the virus to others. Even if you don't get symptoms, viral loads are the same, the duration of the infection is just shorter if you're vaccinated. So this idea that people who are vaccinated should pretend they are going to catch something from someone who is unvaccinated is absurd, it's basically a lie. You get vaccinated to protect YOURSELF. it does not prevent the spread of Covid. It never has prevented the spread. If you're going to talk about a nation divided over Covid you should really start with your own commentary when you're pretending as if Aaron Rodgers was somehow putting vaccinated people's "kids in danger". Technically by getting tested more often he was less of a threat to others than people who were vaccinated and never getting tested.

  3685.  @RunForPeace-hk1cu  No I got it from studies. Such as this one: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK" You should try responding with something other than your programming.

  3686.  @uncannyvalley2350  Then you're gambling on your own ignorance... Here are half a dozen studies.

"SARS-CoV-2 antibody-positivity protects against reinfection for at least seven months with 95% efficacy" "Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections" "Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals" "Thai study looks at CoronaVac vaccine vs. natural immunity to SARS-COV-2 variants" "SARS-CoV-2 immunity due to prior infection or vaccination is similar, study says" "Had COVID? You’ll probably make antibodies for a lifetime"

Let me summarize what I said: No, because "life of the mother" is ambiguous and you need to educate yourself on that fact instead of dictating people's lives based on a slogan. There are real life cases that are going on right now in TX and other places that have destroyed families because "life of the mother" is ambiguous. Again, educate yourself. Or better yet, mind your own business and stay out of people's lives.

My friend who was given a choice to either terminate or deliver a baby that would live in agony before dying a few days later is none of your business. I'm not going to be ruled by your fantasy where you imagine droves of "evil women" are purposely staying pregnant for 9 months just to terminate a pregnancy at the last minute for "fun"... That's literally how a child thinks. I challenge to to find a single woman anywhere in your social circle who would EVER chose to go through 9 months of pregnancy for no reason. And yet you're sitting here acting as if it's a real pressing issue happening all over the country. You people are absolute jokes.

You honestly think homeless people should be forced to have babies? Your logic here is completely absurd. You cling to the emotion of "killing a baby" (again using incorrect medical terminology because a baby does not exist until birth) but don't even think about the consequences of someone homeless raising a child. You reek of privilege because you seem to have no idea what people actually go through.

  3696.  @princea5886  Sorry, but "beliefs" based on the fantasy of a thinking there's a conscious person in a womb shouldn't' be the basis for causing misery in the world. There is still no logical basis for your "scenario", a person with no financial means couldn't afford the operation to begin with. That said, It is your position that should change, because if we can agree on stronger safety nets then the financial strain in your scenario doesn't exist. You can actually solve a problem and countless other problems without invading people's privacy through authoritarian means or threatening to throw doctors and women in jail. You also wouldn't be causing the deaths of women or destroying families due to the many medical and non-medical scenarios you don't know about because you decided to dictate people's lives based on a simplistic notion. The problem with ideas based on conservative ideology is that they aren't actually trying to solve problems, just feel good about themselves by moralizing others.

  3700. We grow animals the wrong way just like we grow plants the wrong way.... The problem is that we see the downsides of factory farming animals faster than you see the downsides of factory farming plants. However factory farming plants is still depleting the topsoil, relies heavily on oil (pesticides, fertilizers, machinery, etc.), is killing the bee population, as well as birds, amphibians, and small animals. We're destroying the land by doing this. Life isn't meant to be treated like machines where we put a bunch of organisms in rows or grids, it's meant to thrive in an ecosystem not a factory. People that believe that we can magically solve everything by being vegan are misguided by a warped morality, and are simply slowing down the problem not solving it.

  3702. Progressives SERIOUSLY need to think about how they are coming across on this issue. Ana is literally gloating over people getting fired or being forced to take vaccine in order to "protect their livelihood"... On any other issue we would call a position like that monstrous. Studies show that the Delta variant transmits among vaccinated people almost as well as it does among unvaccinated people. And yet over the course of 6 months we've gone from "well if you want to go around unprotected and potentially end up in a hospital that's up to you" to "lets force everyone to either get fired or take a vaccine".... Politically that is an AWFUL position to take. You come across as elitist and and you're giving the right wing a huge opening for 2022.. It may only impact a small segment of the working class, but it is large enough to swing elections. There is absolutely no upside to putting out this message every single day, it's not going to get the infrastructure bill passed, it's not going to end Covid because the virus is endemic at this point, and yet we continue to engage in this STUPID culture war. Why?

Meanwhile a single leak in the hyperloop could kill everyone in that tube. "Launching a rocket to space, there's a lot more forces and variables to consider." Yeah which is why NASA already spent decades doing the work. You make it sound a if we didn't have satellites in space 10 years before Elon Musk was even born.... In case you didn't realize it we don't have vacuums anywhere near the size and scale as is imagined for the hyperloop.

It reminds me of the same nonsense that gave us Trump because many on the so called left were okay with allowing fascism for 4 years (arguably 6 cause it's still going on) because "Democrats Bad"... These lunatics have no idea how to be nuanced about anything only angry about something.

Not to mention making money giving political speeches and writing political books. I know you're used to being told what to think, but try and muster enough brain power to understand that people are not going after Baron Trump... they are going after people who are ACTUALLY IN POLTIICS. Hunter Biden was never in politics. He was only used by Trump and his goons in order to smear Biden so that he would have an advantage in the 2020 election. And people like Ivanka and Jared who suddenly made 640 million dollars while being "white house advisors" need to be investigated. Talk about being a hypocrite... ALL of Trump's kids have jobs simply for being Trump's kids.

  3725.  Danny Archer  Do you realize that Jared and Ivanka were in China wheeling and dealing making money off their names and promising visas while being white house advisors? Or the trademarks that were suddenly granted to Ivanka right in the middle of daddy's trade war? Or the fact that Jared was denied security clearance because of his foreign ties, but Trump stepped in and overrode his denial? Never mind the 640 million they suddenly made making money off their positions as white house advisors. Sorry, but people who are not in office or not in politics don't effect my life in anyway. Which is why I don't care how Tiffany Trump is making money off her daddy's name despite her personal issues, but thanks for confirming how much of a total hypocrite you are. First you claimed that we shouldn't care about Hunter Biden, and now you're pretending that we should. Why? "just because" lol.. Sorry, you're nothing but a partisan hack, a joke.

Tulsi isn't doing anything that I can see except running for president. Don't get me wrong I'm glad she's bringing the conversation back towards the Military Industrial Complex, but Kucinich also did that many times when he ran for president and it didn't do squat to change anything.

Now because of this constant culture war over vaccines he changed his position to being in favor of mandates. TYT is basically falling into the trap of being in favor of something simply because right wingers are against it. Instead of discussing the actual science, we're now to believe that every right winger wants to spread covid to everyone and every left winger wants to force people to vaccinate your babies. It's all nonsense.

  3743. No kidding. Same reason why the right wing loves Israel over the Palestinians or any other country in the region.

Like I said, it's dumb to arbitrarily pick out one attribute and pretend it has meaning. The reason why there are dozens of political parties is because a lot of people have opposing views. What "problems" are you referring to exactly? Because the only problem I see is your backwards thinking founded on some personal religious ideology that doesn't seem to be founded on anything. Most people think that murder is bad, stealing is bad, and violence is bad. So what cultural differences are you harping on exactly? Food? Clothes? Language? Homo-sapiens have always migrated, you're not going to stop it from happening and it's rather hypocritical that Europeans who benefited considerably from resources and cultures from all around the world are suddenly wanting to close their doors to people coming from the same regions of the world they benefited from.

  3746. seeibe, Not saying we shouldn't talk about it, we should. However if you dive into the specifics the allegation is that Clinton was more likely to meet with foreign leaders if they gave to the Clinton Foundation. Okay, I get that maybe there might be a problem with bias or neutrality. But let's not forget that she wasn't getting money from the Clinton Foundation (It is a non profit afterall...), let's not forget that her job is to meet with foreign leaders, let's not forget that there wasn't any policy changes based on those meetings. If you say "what about the weapons deal with the Saudis", then I'll just say we've been making these weapons deals with the Saudis for decades. Trump did an even bigger weapons deal with the Saudis. People pretend as if the State Dept. can personally dictates weapons deals, they can't. They operate on behalf of the president. Meanwhile we have Trump meeting with his friends and then immediately changing trade policy to benefit the companies of those friends. Trump allowed an exception to tax law that would personally benefit his businesses. Many of his businesses are ties to Russian Oligarchs and many other conflicts of interests and by the way the GOP platform was changed by the Trump campaign to be more pro-Russia when that was never an issue for the republicans, nor was it anything that Trump ran on, the campaign just suddenly changed it. He's been having private meetings with people at Maro Largo who pay the $200,000 initiation fee (which was doubled after Trump was nominated and elected), where he's discussed classified material out in the open over dinner. His family has already made tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars on this presidency. Stories of corruption come out weekly (sometimes even daily) on this administration. If you pretend that "suspicion of corruption" is anywhere on the same level as the actual corruption in Trump's past let alone the present then we have a problem.... It's like being on a sinking ship with a gaping hole somewhere and them someone says "Well what about the squeaky door we definitely have to look at that". I never even liked Clinton, but the double standard is just insane.

  3747. I have no idea what you mean by "buying out the DNC". The DNC and RNC are private organizations, technically they can operate however they want and they can use money however they want. There was never anything "democratic" about these organizations to being with. That's why we have things like "superdelegates" . In 1968 the Democratic nominee was decided purely by superdelegates, the primaries didn't even matter. People also forget that the RNC tried to change the rules at the last minute in order to prevent Trump from being nominated. They were literally planning on replacing him with Romney or Rubio at the last minute. There was absolutely nothing preventing them from doing that other than the fact that people would be pissed of they did.

  3763. That's why I think calls to "defund the police" are just as dumb as the right wing calls to "defund/deregulate the government". You have to figure out the policies that work best and some of those policies when it comes to oversight or more community involvement may require more money.

  3770. The US killed a million Iraqis, not to mention tens of thousands of civilians killed in drone strikes. Did you personally do that? Refugees spend a very long time being vetted. The US does not have a "refugee terrorism" problem. Xenophobia is the oldest political trick in the book. Stop falling for the oldest trick in the book. Also stop using the term "progressive" if you're not going to bother using facts to inform your opinions, it's embarrassing.

  3771. Mike C, yeah one started a non-profit that has literally helped millions of people around the world with malaria medication, HIV medication, disaster relief, etc. literally saving lives. Meanwhile the other scammed students for years, screwed over the people he worked with, and used his charity to pay the fines levied against his own shady companies and buy himself art and sports memorabilia. Yeah they're exactly the same.... I've got plenty of problems with the Clintons, but you people are completely delusional.

  3773. I like how TYT automatically assumes that he's stressed and that using his money to go on vacation will magically cause you to live longer. Ana spent a lot of money on plastic surgery on her nose to feel better about herself. I really don't see this as any different. Also people who focus on their health are generally much healthier people. I don't know of any study that shows that people who focus on their health are secretly "stressed" and live shorter lives. That's just something you're making up. I'm sure there are lots of people in Alabama who look at the healthy lifestyles of people in California and roll their eyes too.

  3774. You think companies are going to break themselves up and turn everyone into an independent contractor over $9,500? 😂 Dude there are far more costs to employers TODAY for healthcare and many other benefits for each employee than the $9,500. 😂 If companies were concerned about 9,500 per employee they would have broken themselves up a LONG time ago lol. Sorry, but that point is effing ridiculous. Love ya brother, but it's pretty obvious that you haven't worked for many companies.

  3775. Dorian, pain is part of any intense training. I used to stretch like that all the time when I used to practice martial arts when I was young. It hurts and it's the kind of intense pain that you could either scream or suck it up, but if it doesn't hurt at all then you're never going to get more flexible. Right now I'm healing from a broken wrist and it's the same thing if I don't flex it till it hurts (excruciatingly so) over and over then I won't regain full mobility. My point is, why should we coddle girls when we don't do the same for guys? And if your position is that people should never experience pain during training then I think that attitude is creating a weak society. One that is weak mentally and weak physically. No pain No gain, is a real thing.

  3776. @Feedthe5000 Kushner's company got 90 million in foreign investments after he became a white house advisor. The value of his company quintupled since he joined the White House. So you have no idea what you're talking about. Ivanka and Jared made 135 million in a single year after becoming white house advisors. (with zero experience in doing that job). Trump is at least a half a billion dollars in debt. Trump scammed students with Trump University. His charity was shut down for "self dealing. Trump suddenly cared about Chinese company ZTE because they were investing millions into a theme part that Trump was benefiting from. Clearly you don't give a shit about corruption. I would care about Biden's corruption if there was any evidence of it. There isn't any. Only suggestions from people who are desperate in helping Trump's flailing campaign.

  3777.  @wahyuindrasto  Several reasons: 1. Waves hit countries at different times. They don't hit at the same time. 2. Indonesia is collection of islands. Viral transmission is based on how easily people travel and congregate. 3. Indonesia is less developed than the US and likely doesn't have as accurate count of Covid infections and deaths for the entire population. Even the numbers in the US are undercounted. 4. US is a fatter population, and a lot of people have vitamin D deficiency. Which are risk factors for Covid hospitalization and death. 5. The average age is nearly 10 years younger in Indonesia than in the US. Symptomatic Infection, hospitalization, and death effects older people far more than it does younger people.

  3781. I was watching the Thom Hartmann program like 4-5 years ago and he had a scientist on there that basically said "yeah, it's too late to stop it". We have about 20 years or so before we experience major impacts from it. A lot of people will die. So we have to start thinking about how to mitigate the effects rather than stopping it. Scientists always lean towards being conservative with their results and numbers. but the fact that temperatures have exceeded their projections almost every year should tell you something.... That we're pretty much already fucked.

  3783. If you're black, Hispanic, gay, or trans, then Trump's racist and bigoted supporters could very well be a much bigger threat to you. Trump convincing most of the Republican party that they don't need to care about Covid is also a bigger threat to you. The virus is entirely manageable, but if one party does little to nothing about it then they can be perceived as a bigger threat than the virus itself. Same with economic issues.

  3784. People who throw around the idea of a civil war have no idea what they're talking about. The US government was barely formed in the 1860's and you had a fundamental disagreements over keeping people as slaves that the southern states depended on economically. Political disagreements over stupid things like "wokism" or "cancel culture" is not the basis for an effing civil war. No state is going to suddenly succeed from the United States over mask mandates and they wouldn't even know how to since we're all entirely dependent on each other unlike the situation in 1860. There certainly is going to be cases of violence and terrorism, but anyone talking about a "civil war" is talking out of their behind..

  3785.  @InHumanoXY  I get it, but blind anger doesn't get anyone anywhere. You are not the first to rage against the system and you won't be the last. We have to do whatever we can to push this country and the establishment in the direction it needs to go. Trump has done everything the establishment wanted him to do on taxes, judges, climate, etc. the damage is real and significant and re-electing him again will simply push any progress off for a decade or more. I've been saying this for years. It needs to be about issues, not parties or individual leaders. The founders warned about "factions" in federalist No 10 for a reason. However it is a fact that Trump represents a unique threat to the wellbeing of millions.
    2
  3786.  @InHumanoXY  You mean the "Establishment Democrats", just like there are "Establishment Republicans", and "Establishment Media". We can't make the same mistake as lumping everyone and everything in the exact same boat because of a label. Keep in mind, you probably have lots of people in your own family who voted for Joe Biden. There's no point in hating people who are being manipulated by the system.

  3789. Gross people grifting on identity. I didn't hear a single policy from these people only a bunch of labels. Bryson just afraid of trans people and thinking their icky pretty much epitomizes the idea that conservative ideology is mostly based on fear and disgust of others. I like how he thinks his hate is objective but hate against black people isn't. As if racists don't disguise their hate with "objectivity" as well.

  3790. Been holding that in for awhile haven't you?

  3792.  @maclectic  lol. As far as I'm aware "Crime happening somewhere" has never been a valid excuse to murder random people. But sure keep going with your nonsense justifications. I'm pretty sure it's not normal to randomly shoot people at your door in the cities with the largest crime rates in the country. But somehow according to you that behavior is justified here.

  3794.  @RunForPeace-hk1cu  Maybe a "troll" would be a better word to use. Tucker often says things where he can have plausible deniability. Then he can just point to people and say "Can you believe these crazy libs think everything I say is about violence when I clearly said the Unabomber was a bad person?" He then uses that to gaslight anything other suggestions that something might be violence, like the 6th.

  3795. They haven't actually made anything cheaper yet. Cost wise they really haven't done much better than the space shuttle from 40 years ago. All they have been good at is self promotion and capitalizing on the dreams of little boys still dreaming about space.

  3799.  @Jesus.the.Christ  That doesn't matter when there is a binary choice. A run away trolley is either going to hit an old man or run over a pile of babies. You can switch the track in either direction. If you choose nothing one of those choices is still going to happen. However you could choose the lesser evil and make that more likely to happen, or you could do nothing and make the more evil choice more likely to happen. People make lesser of two evil choices every single day. We don't always get to "do nothing" and pretend our conscious is clean due to our apathy or frustration.

  3802. U Swoor, the point is that there is a reason that things like McDonalds, KFC, Jeans, Nike Sneakers, and crappy Hollywood movies have spread all over the world. They are things that people can go enjoy without it being forced upon them. Those are the kinds of things that change perceptions and create acceptance in the same way that crappy Chinese food, sushi, and crappy martial arts movies, and Japanese cars/electronics changed the perception in the United States of Asian people and cultures. Sure those representations might be highly inaccurate, but that's not the point.... You want to expose people to that diversity and things they can choose to like, not just give them threats and something to fight against.

  3803. I'm guessing you also stood up for Ilhan Omar when she said nothing Anti-Semitic either and yet Trump, Fox News, and severalGOP politicians decided to pretend that she did.
    2
  3804. I'm sorry Ilhan... But a few hundreds doses of a vaccine for people who need to be in office passing bills to get us through this time is not going to magically cause other people to prioritize vaccines better. Publicly taking the vaccine and normalizing it like AOC is doing will do more to save more lives than not taking the vaccine out of some sort of principle. All people will say is: "If Congress won't take the virus, then why should I?"

  3805. Unfortunately a lot of people gravitate towards religion purely for certainty in life (because they're scared), self righteousness over others, and a free ticket into a mythical afterlife. Those motivations don't make for nice people.
    2
  3806. I hate to say it, but the cops were following standard procedures, the impact of those procedures resulted in a severe injury. You can't prosecute individual officers following procedure just because "something bad happened" as a result of those procedures. Unfortunately shoving people (as well as tear gas, rubber bullets, etc.) to control a crowd gathering unlawfully is a standard procedure. Did they need dozens of officers to clear the streets in a militant way like that? No, but it wasn't their call. Someone ordered them to do that and someone above that person probably ordered it too. This is completely different than George Floyd situation where the officer was not following standard procedures and choked a guy to death on the street. However, there was no criminal intent behind the shove that resulted in a fall. It would be different if the cops suddenly tackled the guy and started beating him or something. Most likely this will be settled with a civil lawsuit against the police rather than a criminal one.

  3807. A person of race X killing a person of race Y doesn't automatically make something a "racial issue". This is a common misconception among people who are pretty ignorant on how racism works. The circumstances on why a person was killed makes race a likely reason or not. Don't confuse gang violence and other criminality with unarmed people getting gunned down for no reason. It's not the same thing.

  3808. Trump can criticize Republicans because he doesn't care about anyone except himself... The entire Republican party can burn to the ground for all he cares. He literally turned on his own vice president in order to give himself an edge.

  3811. As far as nursing home deaths... The state made a decision as NY hospitals were starting to get overrun. It's not like the state dept. of health were purposely trying to kill people. They just made a decision based on what they knew at the time for nursing homes that they thought were equipped to handle it and then quickly rescinded that practice as the facts came in. You can say that maybe they "should have known better", but often when you're making life or death decisions you don't exactly get the luxury of hindsight. Now if he just ignored the deaths and kept up with the practice it would be one thing.

  3812. I really hope you are just trolling.

  3816. Yes people have been able to kill lots of people with weapons. In case you didn't realize it the US military has the most superior weapons on this planet. Fighting militarily is as idiotic as challenging a gorilla to hand to hand combat. -"You and AIPAC want our guns so you can kill and rob us in the same way you murder and rob Palestinians." Wow this strawman doesn't even remotely makes sense.... I guess this means you want to shoot all of our children and eat them. You sick bastard.

  3817.  @pablosanchez5294  The bottom line is that they have been generating as much or more money than the US men's team. I'm talking actual revenue generated based on their games. Is your "simple logic" based on looking at their ACTUAL REVENUE or is it simply basing it on what you "feel" they're earning? They have every right to renegotiate their earnings bases on the revenue they're actually generating.

  3821. As soon as Andrew Yang opened his mouth about Israel during the Democratic primary that's when I lost all support for the guy. Then later I realized that most of his policy positions were very weak and vapid. Most of what he did was try to win votes by promising to give people money and then he would approach most other issues with the typical tepid response you would get from a centrist Democrat. I have no doubt that he would equivocate on most progressive issues once he got out of a primary. This pandering is just a small taste of that.

  3822. George Floyd get's choked for 10 minutes and dies on the street because he is accused of using a fake 20 dollar bill, Tucker Carson spends months calling him a criminal and a junkie.

  3830. Apparently, us progressives have forgotten the lessons of prohibition... Now we're banning cigarettes and advocating vaccine mandates. Forcing people to take care of themselves is never a good stance to take. Especially when things like alcohol, automobiles, and sugar, kills people by the tens/hundreds of thousands every year. So we're okay with things that are unhealthy for people as long as we're also doing those things. I don't like that one bit. Banning smoking in public spaces, restaurants, etc. is fine, you should also use government to educate people on what is healthy and what isn't but forcing people to be heathier is out of line.
    2
  3831.  @milnez  Yeah I do, and? I also don't drink alcohol, that doesn't mean I want alcohol banned for everyone else.
    2
  3832. ​ @robe2504  You're acting as if I'm okay with smoking in public places, when I already said in my original comment that I was okay with banning smoking in public places. So therefore, your argument is entirely moot. Yes, we ban behavior that negatively impacts others which is why we also have noise ordinances, laws against littering, speed limits etc. But we do not ban the ability to buy a loud stereo or a fast car. We only ban behavior in a specific context. Furthermore, someone getting drunk is not the same as shooting children, driving into a parade, or poisoning people. You very well know that. So please stop with all the nonsense false equivalences and straw man arguments. When you start making things up in order to have an argument, then your argument was weak to begin with. People are now making the same asinine arguments that right-wingers make against abortion, gay marriage, marijuana, etc. When you justify authoritarianism with outlandish ideas, then you're going down the wrong path.

  3833. Do you actually think that TYT picks and chooses the ads that play on youtube?
    2
  3834. Not really. Advertisers choose a demographic, interests, location, etc. and the YouTube algorithms picks the videos for them They're not watching individual videos and saying "Hey that looks like something Boeing friendly" You very well could be getting a Boeing ad simply because of where you are located, like if there is a Boeing facility nearby or if they're looking to build one in your area.

  3835. A Jax, Kyle had no problems what so ever making bullshit claims against the Clinton Foundation with zero actual evidence. Meanwhile there has been mountains of associations and ties from the Trump campaign/administration to Russia in a real active investigation that he conveniently ignores. It shows that it basically just comes down to what he wants to believe.

  3836. It's about time we dispel the myth of "The American Dream". Most of our economic advantages/disadvantage comes from the family and support systems we were born into. There are some exceptions and there is something to be said for determination and there is something to be said for luck. However this country will not move forward without understanding that most wealthy people were born into wealthy families and most poor people were born into poor families. That it is not a "personal choice".

  3837. I think Brook's responses are more vague than Castro's. I have no idea what her issue is.

I'm sure more can be done, but I really don't get what her specific issue is.

  3840. Remix Tapes, 1. You're still weak minded if you blindly believe one guy's conspiracies theories are true without sources or substantiation. It's funny how the same people who blindly believe one former FBI guy who happens to confirms their conspiracy fantasies will not believe the current cases (that includes a team of FBI agents and prosecutors) against Trump's alleged collusion with Russia. 2. You have a seriously weak argument if you believe that one guy talking about the conspiracies that he personally believes somehow means that all conspiracies are true and that all news is fabricated. This is the same bullshit that people do with Religion & Aliens... Anything someone doesn't understand is either God, Aliens, Lizard People, or the Illuminati. Sorry but putting a new wrapper on the same blind faith bullshit doesn't make it more interesting.

  3848.  @toddmorningstar4206  Longer than that of vaccination which has a pretty substantial drop in protection after just 2 months following being fully vaccinated... It's pretty amazing to me that people are told to question "how long does natural immunity last?" while never asking the same question of vaccination... People have been studying natural immunity to Covid for over a year and a half now, long before the vaccines came out. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that people carry lasting immunity to the virus even a year afterwards. The plasma from people that have recovered from Covid is even used to treat people who are severely hospitalized with Covid. Yet when the vaccines came out suddenly people started suddenly pretending as if natural immunity wasn't a thing... Why is that? All vaccines do is simulate an infection so that your body can create the right antibodies. Which is exactly what happens during an actual infection. People still carry memory B cells from the 1918 pandemic as well as 2003 SARS which is actually helping people recover from Covid today. And YES someone who was already infected with Covid can get what is described as "super immunity" or "hybrid immunity" if they get vaccinated on top of their natural immunity. However the baseline natural immunity has already proven to be highly effective and as least as protective as someone who is just vaccinated. Certainly more protective than someone who was vaccinated 4 months ago whose immunity is already waning.

  3849.  @kennet7837 It's not a fair comparison, but it only makes the argument for Marianne even worse. It's really not the media's fault. People assume the incumbent will run again so they don't pay attention to that person's primary
    2
  3850.  @kennet7837  People always want other options, especially on the left. The point has always been "who".... Especially when people like Marianne are polling lower than Democrats who aren't even running... and far lower than the guy (RFK) who is basically running as a Republican light. Saying she's the "best candidate" when there aren't any polls which demonstrate that is nothing more than blind faith.

  3852.  @domenicduartesr.672  --" I think she is a hypocrite and shuts down debate by calling everyone a racist while worrying about being called a racist for her views on Israel." How exactly would you characterize someone calling Omar antisemitic when she never made antisemitic comments? In fact her position is no different than Bernie Sanders. How do you reconcile the fact that Trump made statements that were antisemitic on several occasions (during the campaign, several weeks ago, etc.) and the same people condemning Omar, completely ignore those statements by Trump? How do you reconcile Omar getting numerous death threats and Fox News spending weeks on her comments when her positions are literally no different than numerous others who have spoken against the influence of AIPAC?

  3855. 1. The title says "Caller: The Libertarians Are Crazy!" In other words it is clear from the title that the caller is making the claim. Not Thom. 2. So far you haven't mentioned specifically what this "fallacy" is nor any evidence to back it up the claim of a fallacious argument being made. Your comment contains many accusations, but absolutely nothing in terms of substance.

  3856.  @theswiftschoolofselfhealing  I never said "they do not exist". Just nowhere near as common as she implied. I'm fully aware of the toxic cultural programming of men. Her depictions were just bad. Even things like "bromances" is something you see more in movies and TV as opposed to real life. In real life men can be quite antagonistic towards each other and women can be antagonistic towards each other as well. I have far more female friends than male friends simply because I don't have to deal with the male toxicity as much. My best friend is a woman who has trouble getting along with other women.

  3858. You're trying to pretend that all the abandoned cities and districts and budlings around China is because of good "planning". Are you serious?... It's one thing to be in favor of socialism, but to pretend that the opportunists and scam artists in China that would build up shitty buildings and houses in order to turn a quick profit on investments is the result of "planning" is pretty absurd.
    2
  3859. The fact is elections aren't won or lost based on "Generic Democrat" or "Generic Republican". That's not a thing. That's never been a thing. If anything I think it shows how divided our country is and how social media has played a big part in that. It's not like Clinton, George Bush, and Obama weren't attacked constantly, but today there's a an incredibly divisive/conspiratorial element in politics that's more than just Biden being old.

  3862. The restaurant owner is a moron, but also Cenk... Covid doesn't spread to people from food.... This was proven over a year ago into the pandemic. Progressives have been overexaggerating a lot lately in order to make an argument. "Horse medicine", "breathing covid on food", etc. Making up these exaggerations undermines your argument. It's something that the right does all the time and we really shouldn't stoop to those levels in order to make a point.

  3865.  @phil2082  So you're just going to make up shit based on nothing? okay... Pretty obvious that the 2nd amendment talks about militias. And I'm probably older than you so watch who you call kid.

  3866. No, I'm referring to the recent threats that Trump made over twitter, specifically to Kim Jong Un about nuking the country and Kim Jong Un retaliating by doing missile tests. Don't pretend you didn't know what I was talking about.

  3867. Nah, rabid people post comments completely unrelated to a video to make a mindless political jabs.

  3868. To be fair... Biden also made a clown of Trump in the 2020 debate, but for some reason there's this perception that Trump is a spring chicken when he's only 3 years younger and makes even more mistakes when he speaks.
    2
  3869. It's not. It's worse. It just has far more marketing than your average city subway system. They should rename the NYC metro, that moves about a million people a day, to something like "hypertrack" and get someone to talk about how futuristic it is to have electric vehicles on tracks moving through tunnels.

  3870.  @ericaespinosa4030  I totally agree that most q-anon folks want to feel special, as if they've figured out some secret truth based on a meme or a fuzzy video someone recorded. However this is obviously a mental health problem. It takes a lot more than a conspiracy to be willing to kill your own children in such a horrific way.

  3871. These people don't care about facts or research. These are dumb people trying to pretend the are smart. They hide behind the idea of "research" yet never once question any of the nonsense they are fed, nor do any actual research themselves. All they want to do is make up bullshit to justify their feelings. If they cared about pedophilia at all then they would have cared about the fact that Trump partied with Epstein, knew he was into underaged women, has had multiple accusations of sexual abuse against minors, admitted to walking in on Miss Teen contestants changing rooms to see them naked, Never mind all the questionable pictures with his own daughter when she was underage and all the questionable comments he's made about "dating her", saying that she has a "nice body", and commenting on Tiffany Trump's "legs" when she was an infant. When commenting on Ghislaine Maxwell. He said he "wishes her well" and went on about how they knew each other over the years. They will ignore ALL of that and pretend that Trump is the hero of their story while pretending that Clinton is orchestrating a pedophile ring because a former staffer sent an inappropriate picture once. These people are an absolute joke.

  3872. Should Democrats go lower on occasion? Yes, but there is a bottom to that barrel and at some point if two politicians just sling mud at each other for days then in the minds of voters it becomes a wash and they both become shit. You're pretty young Kyle. The thing you don't get is that there's a completely different tolerance for mudslinging and trolling when it comes to young people vs. older people and guess what? Old people vote much more than younger people. Democrats need to be much stronger, but if you dive in the mud with Trump then the only person who wins is Trump because that's his home turf.
    2
  3873. That is not what happened. Not by a long shot. The "bigoted part" is pretend that's what the issue is, agreeing with some obscure right wing talking points, and not even having a real discussion about it with actual trans people. This is basic journalism.
    2
  3874.  @Screenfunfacts  1. It isn't a position. The fact that Cenk is talking about "professional trans sports" as if it is something being debated in Congress, is absurd. ABSOLUTELY EFFING ABSURD. Ana also talked about "Bonus Holes" that a few people in the UK talked about as if it were a real poltical issue pushed by the left in the US. It's not. 2. Highlighting these non-issues that a few people discuss is exactly he tactic the right wing has been using as propaganda. Now Cenk is falling right into that same trap. Instead of having a real nuanced discussion. He's pretending as if "trans sports" is something that is being pushed as an "election issue". It's not. It NEVER was a mainstream issue until the right wing propaganda machine turned it into one.

  3875. Having a judge decide which drugs are safe and effective instead of the FDA is ALREADY anarchy Cenk... And responding to that court with nationwide civil disobedience is also just more anarchy.

  3876. 06:25 Sorry Brian... Sending somone to prison to be degraded and "taught a lessonn" is the exact same emotion that these parents are feeling when they beat their kids... "Revenge" only teaches "Revenge" which is why many abused kids grow up to be abusers themselves. We need to get out of this primative mentality of "making someone pay", because it does more to cause the problem than prevent it....

  3879. Is it really the fault of "the media" when the same people who shout "fake news!" when it's CNN, tune into OAN, Newsmax, or Fox every night to watch Tucker, Hannity, and Laura Ingraham? These people are far more corrupt and lie far more often than anything on so called "main stream media". I'm a little sick and tired of making excuses for people believing in nonsense and trusting in con men like Donald Trump.

  3880. Cenk/Ana... "Single Payer" or Medicare for All was actually unpopular when Obama was elected. It is popular now, and you've both changed your mind on it, precisely because activists KEPT PUSHING and making a case for it. Talking down to people and pretending they are "selfish" for advocating for rights is down right elitist... It's something that Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton would say. I often support you guys, but that was pretty gross.

  3883.  @jcspaz4l  Again. Follow along, because you don't seem very intelligent. James O'Keefe founded "Project Veritas", before he called himself "Project Veritas" he was running the same scams creating fake stories as he does today. The fact that he started calling himself "Project Veritas" in 2010 doesn't change what he was already doing. Do you understand? Or do I have to go even slower for you? Try Google, so you can get an actual understanding.
    2
  3884.  @jcspaz4l  No it's just basic knowledge that James O'Keefe was doing the same thing before he started calling himself "Project Veritas". The fact that you're unaware of this just makes you ignorant.
    2
  3885. Probably because cops are constantly taught to pull their guns in training over and over, to the point where they don't even even think about it. If you watch old cartoons you always see cops waving around billy clubs when chasing down criminals, now they chase down criminals by waving guns and are trained to kill citizens at a moments notice.
    2
  3886. The reason that "the media" is so pro corporate is because you have too little regulation on content, not too much. When has unfettered capitalism ever not favored corporations? The whole reason why Fox News exists because the FCC loosened it's regulations on "news" content over time.
    2
  3887. There is literally nothing else "mature enough" to handle "emergency powers" other than our government... Who would you give emergency powers to for a hurricane or earthquake disaster? Walmart? Amazon? Just because there are downsides doesn't mean the entire idea is somehow invalid.

  3888. No Chill... Kept yelling "pull over!" when she was already pulled over.... Pretty obvious that she didn't see him because he was obscured by the car he was next to and didn't know what was happening when he ran out into the street. Cops aren't the only people who wear yellow jackets...

  3889. She has a right to be pissed, but it's a fundamental WEAKNESS of the left that we constantly fret about what trump will do and say about something. Trump literally threatened the press and banned them from white house pressers and didn't care at all about what the left would say about it. Who cares, move on. Alex Jones was banned for saying stupid shit, but now we cower in fear over Trump because he's in the white house. The Right did not give the same reverence to Obama for 8 years.

  3890. "What about you?" and the video cuts off.. 😂 All "fasion" is frivolous regardless of whether it's digital or not. When it comes to fasion you're not buying something because if how it feels, you're buying something because of how it looks to yourself and other people.

  3891. Inmates have often been given medications against their knowledge and will. Perhaps you should focus on that, and prisoner rights, instead of only caring when it comes to ivermectin and this culture war you're involved in. Because I'm sure you would be perfectly fine with forcing inmates to take a vaccine.

  3892.  @Swixeditz  It is absolutely true that Israel was not able to provide any forensic evidence to the UN's recent investigation or any journalists. The only thing they've ever had are people guessing that it happened and then repeating unverified claims over and over. Just like they did with the 40 babies, baby in an oven, etc.

  3894. ​@John Doe She's a comedian and most comedians are not policy wonks. If they're going to talk about foreign terrorism they need to also have someone on who actually understands the topic. If both people are saying "I don't know" then they probably shouldn't have a 12 minute video discussing it. 😅

  3895. Keeping it real.... There's a big different between highschool boys and "Ana's friend" who's an adult. I haven't been in the position of teaching kids, but I can imagine the constant battle between teaching and keeping order. Having a teacher who has done porn WILL be a distraction. It sucks, but unless she was "teacher of the year", I can fully understand mentality of just firing her rather than dealing with it "on principle", simply because it's the politically correct thing to do.

  3896.  @sara-name-unavailable  There was even a story out last week that Kushner didn't come up with a national plan because the virus was hitting democratic states harder and they could blame Democratic governors for the problem, So they literally let Americans die for politics.

  3897. I'm glad you finally got on board with the "shame train". The remaining MAGA cultist no longer understand substance. All they care about is make believe and hating people. You can't have a reasonable discussion with people who just make things up and want to hate various groups. All you can do is laugh at them.
    2
  3898. No, he says "it's another right winger", because that's usually the case. The evidence comes from the shooters own words one why they did it. Such as the El Paso shooter who specifically talked about immigrants, or the Buffalo shooter who specifically mentioned white replacement as his reason or the two shooters who shot up synagogues because they were against Jewish people. The reasons behind these shootings are not somehow secrets.... So why are you ignoring that?
    2
  3899.  @keepinitreal6547  Then come up with examples that actually proves your case. Otherwise don't complain how people respond to your baseless generalizations. Because you're still not saying anything. The fact is the examples I discussed were right wing shooters. If that's what you're referring to, then you're complaining that Cenk was right?

  3902. 1. Whether it was the earthquake or tsunami caused by the earthquake I think is pretty irrelevant to the point... 2. No reports of hair falling out? Here's the wiki on 3 Mile Island: "The reported health effects are consistent with high doses of radiation, and comparable to the experiences of cancer patients undergoing radio-therapy,.[14] but have many other potential causes.[13] The effects included "metallic taste, erythema, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, deaths of pets and farm and wild animals, and damage to plants." Completely lying? I don't think so. It's pretty normal for the government to downplay the effects of a nuclear disaster which happened in Chernobyl as well as Fukushima. 3. CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. Water vapor is actually a green house gas. 4. Besides the obvious Chernobly and Fukushima which have caused NUMEROUS birth defects, in the brief search I did I was able to find a couple studies on increased birth defects of those who worked in or lived around nuclear plants. Of course these plants were older plants from the 80's and 90's so I don't know about newer . I also found anotherstudy in Germany where they found no difference in birth defects. However you can't say that he was lying about it, because there are indeed studies that do show an increase in defects.

  3906. The reason why Blockchain isn't really going anywhere is that it's a really inefficient technology (huge waste of energy/resources) that really means nothing without the existing systems that it relies on. Without the stable currencies that bitcoin can be traded for, bitcoin has no real value. You cannot vote with block chain without a reliable way of identifying people and their citizenship.

  3907.  @chrlpolk Please point to a single time where TYT told people to stand down and not stand up to Pelosi. Please point to a single time where "the squad" told people to stand down and not stand up to Pelosi. If you're going to come here and lie you need to be prepared to back up your lies in some way.
    2
  3908.  @kristineneiswender608  You're talking about tactics that you disagree with. Which is not the same as "selling out"... Bringing Medicare for a vote would not have accomplished anything. We've had MANY votes on various legislation since then that were killed by Sinema, Manchin, and other corporate democrats in the Senate. What exactly would a failed vote in the house do other than making Jimmy Dore feel better? You already know who didn't vote for increasing minimum wage, a comprehensive infrastructure bill, and a slew of other issues since then. Now what? What's the plan now? Fake litmus tests on tactics don't actually accomplish anything. It's just a talking point for a pundit on YouTube so that he can increase his views. You need an actual plan to accomplish something not just theater that doesn't accomplish anything while burning the few bridges you might have to get something passed later.
    2
  3909.  @kristineneiswender608  Yes most politicians lie, but like I said we've already had numerous votes in the House and Senate that already tell you where they stand and who aligns with corporate interests. It's the same people voting against the minimum wage, child tax credit, mitigating climate change, etc. It's not like it's a big secret. I just don't think blaming the entire squad for not burning down the House and allowing a Republican Speaker to be elected just to try and force a vote on something where the outcome was entirely known was the best use of their time. Even if I did, I wouldn't suddenly pretend they are corrupt just because they didn't agree with my tactic.
    2
  3910.  @kristineneiswender608  Yes, unfortunately online nuanced conversation has become a lost art, as soon as someone steps out of line with the established narrative they get thrown into some kind of caricature or category. It also happens to me on certain issues.. I hate the fact that Cenk calls Joe Rogan a "right winger" simply because of some bad opinions he has. The House has 222 Democrats and 213 Republicans. If 10 Democrats decided to withhold their vote, it would allow the Republicans to line up behind a GOP speaker. If that happened, the country would turn against the Squad and progressives would be a laughing stock. BTW as part of inline etiquette, if you're tired of the conversation. You really don't have to respond. People won't be offended. 😄

  3911. TYT is really dumb when it comes types of work and jobs... Hunter Biden wasn't consulting on "expertise in oil" he was consulted for how to structure a financial holding company. A company that owns other companies. Something that he has done multiple times in his past. "Consulting" isn't really a job, it is an employment status, a contractor is often called a consultant. Boebert's husband's firm was given a contract to drill oil and natural gas. The fact that he hasn't consulted before doesn't mean he (or his company) is incapable of doing the job. Just like someone who has worked as an accountant for 20 years can suddenly become a "tax consultant", all you're doing is paying people for their time. Now there could very well be some back door corruption involved in both of those cases, but your explanation reveals that you really don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the reasons why people are employed.
    2
  3912.  @JayRamahi3810  Huh? Boebert has always been a fraud, a grifter, and a joke of a politician. Where have you been? How can anyone listen to one sentence from that woman and not realize that?

  3913. Would you want passports against the flu or the common cold? Because you're more likely to catch that from a stranger at this point. The Delta variant proves that we need to help poorer countries distribute vaccines to their population. Even if we vaccinated 100% of our population, if poorer countries like India, or countries in South America or Africa can't vaccinate most of their population then Covid is going to continue to mutate and be a threat to the world. I don't know why we're so hyper-focused on our own politics when the problem of variants is no longer a US problem, it is a world problem and a "vaccine passport" is not going to fix that.
    2
  3914. You think "modern history" is older than 3-400 years? 🤔 In any case that sort of semantic argument is irrelevant to the point being made.
    2
  3915.  @howitusedtobe  Other definitions are from the 17th and 18th centuries. It's a dumb semantic argument, because "modern history" means different things to different people. Even depending on the country/continent you're in. Furthermore we're not talking about "every civilization" we're talking about this one. THIS country. Where slavery and reconstruction had a very big impact on economics, culture, and politics all the way to the present. Pretend that this dynamic doesn't exist because it existed in other civilizations throughout time is a really dumb argument.... It's like pretending as if "murder" and "crime" isn't a big deal because "murder" happened in other places. It's no different than the caste system in India or the Hutu & Tutsi which led to the Rwanda genocide, or the divisions created in the middle east during imperialism. Economic and cultural oppression often has lasting implications. Sitting around pouting because the one in this country involves white people is dumb & childish.

  3916. Kudos for making a buck... but at the same time saying that selling a Dorito someone found while snacking is "entrepreneurial spirit" is kind of an insult to actual young entrepreneurs. It would be a lot more interesting to interview the people who bid $5k, $10k, and $20k for a chip on Ebay to understand WTF they were thinking.
    2
  3917. Meanwhile Trump didn't want to do a deal with Parler if they allowed anyone to criticize him on their platform.... As if any right winger or fascist cares about "free speech". As soon as they're criticized it's "cancel culture", never mind trying to ban critical race theory from schools, never mind demanding athletes be fired if they take a knee or turn a different direction.
    2
  3918. I'm confused... What situation requires restraining a person for making threats? I can understand hitting a person or pushing them back if they aggressively get in your face over and over. However what exactly was the plan there? To me this looks like someone just got out of the jiujitsu class and really wanted to test out his moves on somebody. It isn't normal to grab people and put them in chokeholds for long periods of time. It isn't normal to grab people and hold onto them at all.

  3919. Ana literally proving Cenk's point every time she talks about it. I suspect that if you did the same study a 100 years ago or so you would get completely opposite results just because of how society was far more favorable to men cheating on there wives and women were much more demonized over sex.

  3920.  @TeaJay83  MLK had hundreds of good lines, however when you reduce a man to the single line that you care about then you're not really seeing the man you're only seeing what you want to see. You need to understand something.... There were lots of good people who weren't racist during slavery, there were good people who weren't racist during Jim Crow, there were all sorts of good people around when black people were getting lynched or waking up to find their houses on fire and their children being burned alive. You sitting around living a nice quite life being a good person while ignoring the problems all around you which effect millions of others, but don't effect you or your family, isn't actually helping anybody but yourself.

  3921.  Black Pullet  There's also oxygen, water, and more sunlight on Devon Island than you would ever find on Mars... It wouldn't take much for your average human to figure out how to live on Devon Island. Heck, creating a self sustained underground base UNDERNEATH Devon Island would be far easier than creating anything above ground on Mars. At least you would have access to oxygen, liquid water, and wouldn't need to worry about constant radiation... There are even animals on Devon Island. You could hunt, fish, and grow plants easily. Plus if you're super rich you could buy a luxury underground bunker that would survive a nuclear attack and be fine for decades. Never mind the fact that Mars would probably be the most boring thing ever. The novelty of being on another planet would probably wear off after like a week for me. Meanwhile I could jump on a plane and go to Utah or almost anywhere on earth and find more interesting landscapes. Sorry for the rant. 😂

  3927. Anyone who logically cares about reducing homicides and keeping innocent people alive would agree with it. There's a reason why we don't sell nukes, grenades, and anthrax at Walmart. It has nothing to do with "rights", it has to do with common sense.

  3928. I still don't know why natural immunity isn't part of the conversation like it already has been in other countries for a long time now... You do realize that all vaccines do is mimic an infection right? It's been shown in multiple studies that people who have recovered from covid have higher immunity to the variants than people who are just vaccinated. Yet for some reason the conversation in this country only involves being "vax" and "ant-vax".
    2
  3929.  @calinasagilitypartner4444  Understand that I'm not advocating that everyone go out and infected with Covid without being vaccination. The word "natural immunity" is a word that doesn't mean "everyone should go out and get Covid". Only that we should take into account people who have ALREADY been infected with Covid. It's like everyone has some weird Pavlovian response to the word.

  3933. Unless there's a documented problem, don't try and fix it. If you can show numerous stories of dogs getting there heads chopped off or eyes messed up due to sticking their heads out windows then I'll be for it.

    2
  3934.  @willardchi2571  Just because something can happen, doesn't mean it does or that it's an extensive problem. It's the same thing with the right wing when they pretend that trans people in bathrooms, drag queens, or voter fraud is a big problem when they suggest what "could" happen. We should ALL base legislation on actual evidence and a basic cost/benefit ratio. The fact that we keep using our "gut feelings" annoys me to no end. It's pretty easy to do a survey of veterinarians, car accidents, etc. to see if this is a big problem or not. Instead people look at something and think "I don't like that!" and then decide to dictate other people's lives based on it. Society really needs to stop with that nonsense already. We are more than capable of getting actual facts and data on a topic.
    2
  3935. Your argument is basically a libertarian one, where you think "principle" is supposed to be more important than tens of thousands of people dying... The reason why we can't yell fire in a crowded theater is because causing harm to people is more important than "free speech" in certain cases. Furthermore our democracy will be lost ANYWAY if we allow fascists to take over the government through lies and misinformation. Republican politicians have accepted the idea that q-anon misinformation and undermining our democracy is how they will stay in power. So WTF will you do about it? Do you honestly think that sitting around talking about free speech principles or how mainstream media sucks is actually solving anything? The fact is your principle is not going to stop people from dying or prevent democracy from being undermined. You may not like that, but that's the reality we live in. Also the fact that we have libel laws doesn't mean that no one can be criticized, so your automatic assertion that no one would be able to criticize the Iraq invasion because of fact checkers is a nonsense slippery slope argument. Our politics should be based on factual process just like science is based on a factual process. Otherwise we don't have a real democracy all we have is propaganda warfare. The fact that we have a political process deciding life and death in our society mostly based on people's feelings is crazy to me... I don't know what the solution ultimately is, but I know sitting around talking about free speech principles IS NOT IT.

  3936. Christ Jimmy. I can't listen to you for 30 seconds without getting a headache from your bullshit logic... This is all from the FIRST 30 SECONDS: 1. No, you can't trust people to magically know what's true or not because it's a FACT that propaganda and advertising works.... Why do you think that before the Iraq war a poll showed that most Americans thought Saddam had something to do with 911? Because their magic truth detectors were broken that day? 2. There is a HUGE difference between the Washington Post trusting what the Bush Administration was telling them about Weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq vs. MAKING SHIT UP like Alex Jones was doing over and over. Do you not know the difference between trusting people who you think are giving you accurate information vs. making things up about dead kids and their grieving parents? do I really have to spell this out how those two things are VASTLY different? Holy crap Jimmy. I really enjoyed you on TYT panels, but you REALLY need someone there who is rational to put your nonsense in context.

  3939. My best memories from college was the time I spent with "Student Moonies". It was great because they had students from all over the world who would have "cultural nights" and talk about their country, culture, and cooked regional food. They had no problem with the fact that I didn't believe in their religion at all. I even took a psych class that talked about "cults" and showed them my books one which had a page on "Moonies" just to mess with them :-D I formed some great friendships though.

  3940. Cenk, Liz Cheney spoke out against Trump for over a year AND she mocked him. It didn't do squat and she lost her re-election.

  3941.  @filrabat1965  I'm just saying the idea that Cenk has that all it takes is someone strong speaking out to take down Trump is a fallacy. I agree with John that it really takes a lot of Republicans with the courage to be principled. 1 or 2 sticking their neck out only get squashed. I think with actual indictments and a trial on the table we'll probably see more Republicans joining in once they see that it is more politically safe to do so.

  3943. I really don't understand the point that Nomiki is trying to make here. People are more likely to defend Joe Rogan over Megan McCain because Joe Rogan isn't trying to lie to people every day and play a character in order to gain fame and notoriety. Joe Rogan isn't going on a TV tour or selling an audio book just to make money off his drama.

  3944. Cenk it's not about just "publishing information". It's about putting the information in context and letting people know that it came from a foreign government who likely spent a lot of money to get the candidate that they want while completely avoiding the other candidates emails. I would be perfectly okay with the information leaked if EVERYTHING was disclosed. However wikileaks is allowed to pretend as if this "leak" somehow came from some concerned citizen. That false narrative is used to influence the public.

  3945. You seriously think that a person who spends all day on twitter watching Fox News has been working? Taxpayers have spent 80 million dollars on Trump's golf trips ALONE... The Democrats have passed 400 bills what has Trump done exactly? Oh yeah he's been holding rallies every week so that people can stroke his ego. There is a reason why past presidents didn't tweet every day, call into Fox & Friends, and hold rallies, BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTUALLY WORKING.... Trump's schedule includes "executive time" where he literally does nothing but watch tv. This is one of the laziest presidents we've ever had.

  3948. There really is no such thing as "corruption". Corruption is just what we call parts of the "profit motive" that we don't like. If you're trying to get ahead in some industry and "you know a guy" that can get you a job or a gig, Then that's no different than what you call "corruption" when it happens in the government. The problem has always been the "profit motive" and as long as it is a major part of our society you will always have people finding ways of getting financial gains in any way they can.

  3949. Definition of abuse: "To treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly." I guess Trump supporters have been mentally abused by Trump for years so they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome and don't know the difference.

  3954.  @suzq2744  You would have to redefine words in order to pretend what she said was antisemitic. Someone could say something like: "That car accident I had was just like the attacks on 911". It's a bad comparison, but it doesn't make that person anti-American or anti-New Yorker If you have a specific argument for why making a bad comparison to the holocaust is specifically antisemitic I'll hear it, but it has to be something more than just being personally offended. If we go around calling everything racist and anti-semitic then those things will start to lose meaning and value. We can't do the same thing that the Right does to people like Ilhan Omar. We have to be better than that.
    2
  3955.  @suzq2744  Again defining something as antiemetic because it offends you isn't how it works.... Just like calling something racist that offends someone Black also isn't how it works. We can differentiate between a racist statement and an ignorant one because they are two different things. I am not deciding anything for a community. The community and individuals within it can be offended by anything they want. I'm saying we should not expand the definition of a word or concept to include "everything bad" because what will happen is that real antisemitism will start to lose all meaning.

  3957. I keep saying this over and over, but it's no different than what MLK said about the "white moderates" and the liberals who use the language of civility at the expense of people's rights. In his mind they were more dangerous than the KKK, because they normalize the bigotry. That's what Bill Maher is doing. He calls himself an ally, but under the guise of being "civil" or making a funny joke he'll downplay the bigoty and discrimination.

After years of "terror levels" , "orange", and the nonsense tension caused by overzealous security, people have become brainwashed in this country.

I can't imagine the amount of waste that has been caused by people throwing away their liquids just to get through security.

  3961. The amazing thing here is that you're actually both not saying anything wrong , you're both just choosing to emphasize different sides of the pandemic because of a stupid culture war. I hate to defend Sean Hannity, but he didn't say in that clip "this isn't anything you have to worry about", that is something you made up entirely, he said that "everyone is going to get Covid". Which is actually pretty true. It is also true that your symptoms are going to be milder if you're vaccinated, which is what you are choosing to emphasize however Hannity never refuted that claim in that clip. The claim that Hannity made was that unvaccinated people aren't necessarily a threat to others. Which was a false claim made last year over and over with absolutely no research backing it up. Studies show that vaccination helps with symptoms but doesn't stop nor even significantly reduce transmission. Although I normally disagree with Hannity on pretty much everything else. Also, there is vaccine hesitancy even in the global south countries that aren't as "privileged" as we are. Yes, the patents on vaccines are a problem, but I hate the characterization that somehow this is the only place in the world with a significant population of vaccine hesitant people and that it is a moral failing of people in this country. The reality is you can find large percentages of people who won't take a vaccine in South America and Africa.

  3970. At times Ana & John demonstrate the same weakness that they hate from establishment Democrats... It seems like all they want to do is sit in a corner, mope and pretend that nothing can be done, even while the case for impeachment is being made on live TV. Republicans unabashedly talked about Benghazi for YEARS with ZERO evidence and ZERO convictions, in fact they still talk about "locking up" Clinton. Then you have the so called "progressive champions" who want to just give up after a few months. It's pathetic. I expect more from you guys. If the Democratic leadership doesn't want to pursue impeachment then you keep hammering them until they do. You don't just buckle. I've never heard of anyone ever accomplishing anything with a "no hope, nobody will ever listen to me" strategy.

  3971. Consensual? Yes and no. It seems like she was coerced into the first sexual acts by Jordan's friend Chelsea initially at a party when she was drunk. However later on they had consensual encounters when she had to stay at his apartment in NY. At the same time she was 21, married, and looked up to Jordan and his friends as mentors. So you could definitely say that there was a power imbalance that was taken advantage of. However the reason they fired him was because he misused TYT funds for drinking and parties and misused TYT resources for his side business that he was trying to build for himself. Regardless of the outcome, he created this mess, and showed horrible judgement. TYT really didn't have a choice here.

  3976. Cenk, you literally said you were "done with the right wing" when we had access to a vaccine and yet you went on to spend the next 9 months fighting a culture war. You said you weren't in favor of mandates and then went on to push for mandates.

  3977. Please explain how free college would benefit white males who can already afford college?... Free college benefits the poor and there is disproportionately more poor among minority communities. Now i you're talking about getting into Yale or Harvard, sure. But I really don't see how you can believe that access to more education for everyone somehow only benefits white males. That makes zero sense.
    2
  3978.  @adaminfinity1733  Ah, okay, I do completely agree with that statement, but like I said I don't know who that is. Vaccination is more about protecting yourself, if anything we just increased the number of asymptomatic cases. Over the summer a lot of people went around thinking they could not spread the virus as long as they were vaccinated when that was never the case.
    2
  3979.  @adaminfinity1733  Yeah I remember what the CDC said in the beginning, and yes, I think it was an incentive to get people vaccinated and the desire that people had to put the pandemic behind them, but then Delta hit, and it was clear that people going around maskless indoors was not going to work, but since the CDC made those claims in the beginning people got the false impression that they were not spreading the virus. I just wonder how much of that spike we had over the summer was due to vaccinated people thinking they were not spreading the virus... Unfortunately, human nature has gotten the better of us. The CDC in its mitigation attempts has gotten more political and biased towards certain positions, pharmaceutical companies oversold what their vaccines are capable of doing, and the over politicization through politicians/pundits has led to spreading all sorts of misinformation around.
    2
  3980.  @adaminfinity1733  It certainly would happen if everyone who supported it suddenly started protesting, but that's not likely to happen because of human nature.... We could have stopped Covid if early on everyone in the world decided to wear a mask and social distance for a month at the exact same time, but people aren't that coordinated. Also. you could argue that if it weren't for television showing the violence and racial disparities in the South, we may not have had a civil rights movement to being with. If news media started covering healthcare stories every week of people dying without insurance, people not getting treatments because of financial bureaucracy, or families going bankrupt trying to keep people alive. Then you might see a big movement, but those things aren't as sensational as violence. We've had hundreds of thousands of people die from Covid each year and you have people who don't want to do anything about that so why would there be a big movement over the tens of thousands who die without health insurance? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Unfortunately, human nature makes us care a lot more about violence than slow illnesses. Hundreds of cases of black/brown men getting killed, falsely arrested, and imprisoned by police over the years, but when people saw the violence against George Floyd on TV and suddenly you have a national (and international) movement.

  3982. This isn't anything new. The entire point of advertising is to try to relate to the common man. Remember Kylie Jenner solving a protest with a Pepsi? Or how about nearly 50 years earlier with Coca Cola and their "I'd like to teach the world to sing" commercials? Using social media to do the same thing that has been done in capitalism for the past couple hundred years is not surprising.

  3984. The Mueller report in no way "cleared" Trump... Having no evidence of collusion for a specific act during the 2016 election, doesn't in anyway "clear Trump" of ALL potential crimes involving the Russian Oligarchs, Russian Mob, or the Russian Government. If that's how you're framing it, then you're the one misleading the public Kyle. The poll makes sense in the vague way that the question was stated. "clear Trump" suggests that Trump did no crimes. However if you're reporting honestly about it then you would say that the investigation was limited in scope and because it was limited in scope Trump wasn't found complicit in the specific crime that Mueller was looking at. It doesn't mean that Trump never colluded with Russia on anything, nor does it mean that there wasn't a huge conflict of interest when it comes to Russian Oligarchs. It's no different than when a politician votes in favor of Big Oil or Big Pharma. Of course there isn't a specific crime that says that those politicians were bought off or colluded with those special interests against the interests of the public, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen every day in this country.

Maybe you should take a break and travel to Europe or something, oh wait! That's right... The EU doesn't allow Americans to travel there because Trump screwed this country up so much. He spent months golfing, going to campaign rallies, and pretending the virus would magically disappear. In fact he's still doing that. Trump made America worse again. What's even sadder are the mindless lemmings who still follow him despite his many abject failures.

  3991. Let's not forget all the people who post fake videos, like fake trailers, fake reviews, other creators stealing content, etc. The dislike bar tells you whether it's a legitimate video or a scam.

  3996. Acknowledging that people with prior infection have a large degree of natural immunity against reinfection isn't telling people to "get Covid". I'm not sure why people think that every time they hear it. It's about policy and if companies have policies that include vaccination, they should also have policies that acknowledge people who can demonstrate a prior infection. It's not really a difficult concept.
    2
  3997.  @nosuchthing8  We have had tests for Covid for a long time and people can also get an antibody test. Apparently, this is perfectly "workable" in most other countries that consider natural immunity as part of their pandemic policy, but just not in this country? Don't be ridiculous. The only reason this isn't considered in the US is because of politics and profits.

  4007. It should be pretty obvious that "cognitive dissonance" and "rationalization" pretty much dictates most of our political discourse. If you've followed a certain narrative for a year or two and then you see a group of protestors that are counter to that narrative, you will naturally create excuses to explain the dissent. It doesn't matter if you're left, right, or center or if the protest is Occupy, BLM, or Freedom Convoy. People have a tough time reevaluating their positions. It's the same reason why anytime you want to provide healthcare, education, or build infrastructure the question is "how are you going to pay for that?". However, if you want to raise the military budget or start a war, no one ever asks where the money is going to come from.

  4009. I barely understand saying "congratulations" when people just demonstrate their ability to procreate. I don't understand saying "congratulations" when someone pays a medical facility to generate a baby for them. Just like I wouldn't say "congratulations" if someone pays for a cheeseburger, because they're getting what they paid for... Also, I get that people want to create a child with their own genes, but I kind of wish same sex parent would choose to adopt. Especially someone like Dave Robin who has the resources to give adopted children opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise.

  4010. How is it a "liberal pipe dream" that Trump drops out of the race? The "dream" is for Trump to be humiliated horribly and for his name to be forever associated with "incompetence" and "stupidity" throughout history.... The reason Trump might drop out is to save his ego. Even if Trump lost in 2016 he would have still "won" in his mind because he would have gotten further than he expected and he could always right off his loss as some "Clinton Deep State Conspiracy". It would have been the perfect platform to launch an Alex Jones style media empire. If he loses now he's just a loser that got lucky once. His legacy will be a one term incompetent president that ended in disaster.

There's a BIG difference between saying: "Black students are underperforming because they're black" and "We need to see why black students seem to be underperforming more often.". Of course if what she says is true then it should be pretty easy to get the data and see if it is indeed true and what type of classes they are underperforming in at Georgetown. Is it just her class?

  4014. Sorry, but I don't agree.... I'm not pro gun or anything, but at the same time I'm against punishing people for a crime that they've already paid for. If we're saying that ex-convicts in FL should be allowed to vote after they've served their time then they should also be able to do anything else that is legal in society. At most I might agree to a limited ban to owning a gun (say 3-5 years or something), but to say that any kind of conviction means you can never can do things that other people around you can do means that you're not really "free". This is no different than republicans limiting the freedom of women through abortion laws when they can't outright ban abortion. If you want to ban guns then ban guns. However labeling anyone who has ever been convicted of stalking or abuse as a "bad person" for the rest of their life is essentially adding an additional punishment to a crime that you don't know anything about. It should be up to a judge and jury to make those decisions, not Congress. If you're not in favor of zero tolerance polices then you really shouldn't be in favor of this.

  4017. It has nothing to do with "being a fan" of a company or not.... The fact is just because a technology exists doesn't mean that suddenly Google is going to use it. You're under this impression that having a new technology suddenly means that everyone is going to adopt it and uproot the business models that have made then billions. Hate to break it to you, but they're not going to do that when there isn't an incentive to do so. Many companies will be looking into block chain technologies for various reasons, but expecting an existing company to change their business model to your benefit is nothing more than a pipe dream

  4018. Why not just look at the ounces and servings listed on the package? It seems pretty difficult to prove fraud based on how comprehensive the labeling is. Also depending on the makeup of the powder I'm sure quite a bit of it can settle depending on how much air is in it when they're filling the package.

  4019. Where are all the trolls in the comments who constantly call LGBTQ+ people "pedophiles" as a way to smear and hate people for no reason? Where are all those sickos who claim that trans people just want to go into bathrooms to rape kids? Where are all the politicians so worried about kids hearing about LGBTQ people in books or classrooms? Why isn't this story, and dozens of others like it, not their #1 priority right now? Instead they're more worried about trans people on Bud Light cans and banning kids from gender affirming care.

  4020. I knew immediately when Chris Christie started attacking Trump that he was going to be all over the media, not only because of the corporate angle, but because no one else in the Republican is willing to attack Trump. It really isn't good TV to put on the same people with the same platitudes and tepid remarks against Trump. The media wants a fight. It's the same reason that Trump got a lot of air time. I agree with Cenk on Chris Christie's chances. He's the only one in the Republican party whose going to be attacking Trump throughout all of these indictments, etc. Using that to his advantage is going to get him a lot of attention by the media when all the other Republicans are saying the exact same thing.... Ana just thinks that everything in the past is going to happen again in the future, she does that a lot.

  4021. Kasich also has a base which is the reason he's polling much higher in new Hampshire. I actually know some republicans who voted for Trump who wished that they could have voted for Kasich in the general, but you're right about his reluctance to get into the mud.... However it's highly possible that he's learned his lesson and he has years to come up with a strategy to beat Trump. It's also possible that we may even see a Bernie/Kasich ticket. If Kasich tries to win a primary against Trump, but can't pull it off, just the act alone would be enough to put him in the spotlight. If he then joins a Bernie on the ticket that would make even more headlines and almost guarantee a Bernie win.

  4022. 02:43 To answer your question.... Would you wear a yamaka if you're not Jewish? The kid obviously didn't have any ill intent, but to answer your question you don't wear religious garments if you're not part of that religion which is what that headdress is supposed to be. It's not a hat or a fashion statement.

  4025. Can you at least effing VERIFY the claim that only 3 out of 143 lots would be for affordable housing before going on a long rant about it? Christ Cenk... I might be on your side if you guys actually looked into the claim rather than just saying "blah blah he's lying". WTF was that? It is also entirely possible that the developers made up the whole idea of "affordable housing" as an attempt to win people over to their development. It's not like they are doing this to help the poor they are trying to make money. However, you decided what the narrative should be instead of actually trying to understand the issue. Also, when was it suddenly Chappelle's responsibility to advocate for affordable housing?
    2
  4026.  @kod5660  He advocated against the entire development which according to him only had like 2% "affordable housing". So we need to know if it was actually affordable housing or if the developers were simply hyping that part in order to get the deal.

  4027.  @KBoon Calling a gun a "tool" doesn't actually change the facts. You can also call a nuclear weapon a "tool", but that doesn't mean that during the Cold War we weren't on the brink of total annihilation several times and can easily be again in the future. Again, pulling a gun on someone who also has a gun can escalate the situation into a shootout which can turn any situation into a deadly one for yourself and the people around you. It has happened many times. If only one person has the gun maybe there is a deterrence or maybe the person is in a stand your ground state and decide to kill the person. If both people have guns it turns into a shootout on the highway or in the streets.

  4029. Clinton's approval went up because most of the country new the impeachment grounds were bullshit. Most of the country didn't care that Clinton lied about getting a blow job. I was there, so I know exactly how it played out. That is entirely different than Trump committing crime after crime. Trump is nowhere near as popular as Clinton and there are already DOZENS of reasons to impeach. So your assertion that Trump's approval rating would go up, is not based on anything. It's only based on Pelosi's nonsense political posturing.

  4033. Not really. The beginning part of the sentence tells you the actual reason the 2nd amendment was created in the first place.

  4058. ​ @SaintGerbilUK  The entire conversation was about illegal immigrants, who else would you be talking about? Furthermore that is an incredibly bad argument.... You should be smart enough to know that there is a reason why we talk about "crime rates" as opposed to the number of crime occurrences. So I'm assuming that you're just being intellectually dishonest in order to make your point seem valid when you know that it isn't. The reality is if immigrants commit less crime, then bringing in more immigrants will actually reduce the likelihood of crime to the average american because the overall "crime rate" will be reduced. In actuality the numbers are too small to make much difference, however mathematically that is the only correct way of looking at it. No different than pouring a glass of half orange juice and half water into a glass with all orange juice. It will of course add more orange juice but still dilute the orange juice that was there in the glass.

  4059.  @SaintGerbilUK  You appear to be changing subjects because there's a lot that goes into government spending overall and immigration spending is almost nothing compared to Social Security, Medicare, & the Military Industrial Complex. If you think that immigration is responsible for a large chunk of our spending then you literally know nothing about our federal budget.... Furthermore what you fail to mention is that our GDP grew EXPONENTIALLY during that period. This was when we we created the "middle class" and yes government programs and regulations were entirely responsible for creating that middle class and significantly reducing poverty. 40.5% of all seniors were literally living in poverty before Social Security. Do you think immigration magically started in 1902? Of course it didn't. 12 million immigrants came to this country between 1870 and 1900 ALONE. Between 1790 and 1900 the US population was literally growing 30% or more each DECADE from IMMIGRANTS.... Immigration is far lower today than it EVER was back then. I'm simply amazed at how you guys are so completely clueless to the fact that this country was literally built by immigrants. Do you seriously believe that immigration by people fleeing persecution and poverty is a somehow new thing to this country? Are you seriously that clueless to our history? We can have a discussion on how various government programs and regulations have benefited people and the economy. However to pretend our current spending levels are directly related to immigration is a really dumb argument.... I suggest you learn the history of this country and why the Statue of Liberty has a plaque that reads: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." because if we forget the ideals that literally built this country and replace those ideals with baseless fear and demagoguery then we are truly on our way to becoming a fallen empire.
    2
  4060.  @SaintGerbilUK  No I simply pointing out that you have no idea what you're talking about. The fact that we've been bringing in poor immigrants at enormously higher rates shortly before this country became am economic superpower should tell you everything you need to know economically about immigrants. Clearly you have absolutely no counter to that argument. This aligns with what economists have also said about immigrants. 1,470 economists (which included 6 nobel laureates ) signed a letter to Trump talking about the benefits of immigration. You won't find an actual economist taking your point of view because your point of view was fed to you by a politician. Furthermore crime has significantly fallen over the last few decades. People like me deal with facts not mindless demagoguery.

I think this marine was itching to try something on someone, just like a lot of gun owners are itching to shoot something.

  4069.  @ericw2229  "something happened"... Yeah, great work on the facts of the case. The fact is there were no reports of him attacking anyone, or any weapons involved. So my comment stands. There is no need to escalate a situation when a physical attack wasn't involved. That makes you the aggressor, not the other person.
    2
  4070.  @ericw2229  Yes, that's how "self defense" has worked historically most of the time. It requires an "appropriate level of force" and even to "back away" if you are under threat. The main exception is the "stand your ground" nonsense in some states that allows for killing people for simply being scared. However for the most part you're not allows to just attack people yelling at you. You don't just get to kill people by assuming they have secret weapons. We don't live in a society where people arguing get to just kill each other over the possibility that one of them might have a weapon.
    2
  4071.  @Andrew-cs1td  That's why I think he was "itching to try something". My guess is that he was trying to get him to pass out rather than just subdue him without really thinking about the dangers of doing that...

  4072.  @bengallup9321  Again, dehumanizing people and treating them as if they are all the same is the very thing we're supposed to be fighting against...

We need to save the cops from their own toxic mentality not pretend every good gesture has evil intent or pretend that all cops are bad..

  4073.  @Damacles9  Exactly it's a regulatory problem not a budgetary one. I honestly don't know of any governmental problem that is solved by just mindlessly adding or removing money.... You figure out what needs to be done and then change the budgets accordingly. I doubt taking away money from police departments is going to magically make them nicer to minorities and less brutal. Even without their riot toys they still have clubs and guns.... In fact taking away their non-violent toys might even make them more deadly.
    2
  4074.  Val 91  Umm... a "music scene" is quite different than being against the party that is consistently on the wrong side of almost every policy beneficial or hurtful to minorities. It's no different than being gay or transgender and being "conservative". The GOP actively advocates polices against those groups. Caitlyn Jenner had to learn that the hard way. The party she was in favor of all her life as a white male was suddenly quite different when she became transgender. So I would not conflate policies and ideology that is hurtful or helpful to minorities as anywhere close to what we're talking about here.

The only reason why Sanders ran in 2016 is because he could not get Warren to run. It's one thing to prefer one candidate over another, as you said that is what primaries are for, but if your mindset is to pretend that all candidates other than your preferred candidate are somehow horrible and evil, then I'm sorry, you're being a total moron. I will not stand for people who will give us another 4 years of Trump no matter if they agree with me on issues or not.... People are literally DYING, sitting in cages, and being discriminated against. Our planet is on the verge of a mass extinction. Billions of people cannot afford your pettiness.

  4080. Obama didn't have policy of separating children Kyle. That's a damn lie. Some separations did a occur, but it was for very specific circumstances, It wasn't a situation where you suddenly had thousands and thousands of families torn apart because Trump decided it would be a good deterrent for people to not seek asylum if we took their kids away from them.

Kyle, people have been talking about this issue 20 years before you "discovered it" believe it or not, not everyone is informed on the issue.

He came close to winning in 2020 because he had the bully pulpit for 4 years and the entire GOP, Fox, and Newsmax all lined up behind him. Not doing oppo research is like leaving your weapons on the battlefield for your opponents to pick up... Guess what Trump also did "Clinton Bad" in 2016 and won doing so. He also did "Biden Bad" during his campaign. Opposition research is done for a reason. Attacking your own party in 2024 isn't going to help anybody at the presidential level....

However that is something that people who support Tucker or Trump don't understand, because they actually enjoy being lied to as long as those lies support their worldview.
    2
  4092.  @polpol2739  That isn't even what he said. If you honestly think that CNN, MSNBC, or AOC lies more than Tucker, then you're nothing more than a useful tool for a con man... The man lies for a living. Guess what? Tucker has actually spent years feeding unflattering stories about Trump to CNN reporters and the writer Michael Wolff. While at the same time he bashes these people on his show. Everyone in the industry, including Fox News, knows that Tucker Carslon "plays both sides" and that his show is nothing more than "theater". In fact Fox New's lawyers have argued multiple times in court (this year and last year) that Tucker Carlson isn't a credible source so he can't be held liable for the lies that he spews. I honestly feel sad for you people who don't even realize that you're being used... You go around talking about how MSM lies while having NO issues swallowing the constant BS of people like Tucker. It's pathetic.

  4093. 03:27 "If you don't watch the show.... shut up" Let me get this straight.... You're speaking to people who don't watch the show on your show? I've been a supporter of TYT for many years, but sometimes I don't get who they think they're talking to sometimes.

  4094. I don't believe in kicking people out of restaurants or any business.... I don't care if it's political or not, it's a slippery slope. If you want to express your free speech then the owner, manager, staff, etc. can walk up to Sarah one at a time and say exactly what they feel about her. However Trump's response on twitter is even worse... You don't use your status as president to try and ruin a business because they did something you don't like. That's a clear abuse of his power and a violation of free expression.

  4095.  @Ohfr_  So instead of the protesters risking getting run over (which has literally happened in dozens of incidents across the country) they should have just shot the driver instead of talking to him right?
    2
  4096.  @lukel4679  Well this is the world you're asking for, not me.... Vehicular homicide is a real thing, especially in these protests, so based on your logic the protesters should have just opened fire on the driver without ever talking to him. That guy certainly would be alive if they did. So next time a car acts aggressive to protesters, based on your logic, they should just open fire on the driver and kill him before he has a chance to do anything.
    2
  4097.  @lukel4679  So if the protesters knew or thought the driver had a gun, then it would be perfectly okay for them to open fire and kill him instead of just walking up to him? I'm trying to figure out the logic of this world you want to live in where people can just kill other people when they just think there could be a threat. Again, vehicular homicide has been occurring all over the country in these protests. Based on YOUR logic one could reasonably think that a car running up on a group of protesters honking could be a threat. In your world, that perceived threat is all that is required to kill a person.
    2
  4098.  @pamthompson3812  Please show me any police report that shows a driver getting killed or beaten in these protests by getting out of their car. Meanwhile I can show you numerous cases of people running over protesters with their cars and killing some.
    2
  4099.  @lukel4679  You don't have time to react when the car is a few feet away. And self defense implies an attack, there wasn't one. Again your logic here is that simply the perception of a possible attack is enough to kill someone. By your logic the protesters should have just opened fire into the driver and kept firing until he was dead and unable to depress the gas pedal.
    2
  4100.  @Ohfr_  The driver decided to drive into the marchers. So based on your logic the protesters had every right to shoot the driver dead, before he could do anything because he was a threat at that point. You're letting your politics dictate who should live and who should die. It's a really disgusting attitude. ---"The police and witnesses said the man in the car turned it aggressively toward the marchers"
    2
  4101.  @dedutch101  The protester wasn't brandishing a gun it was strapped to his shoulder and not pointed at anyone. Plus it's an open carry state. Everything he did was perfectly legal. So why are you making things up? Just so so you can pretend that the "guy deserved what he got"? Should those Michigan protesters protesting with their rifles and storming the capital building been shot to? By all accounts the driver turned into the marchers. He was active aggressive, that is why they approached the car. However based on your logic the protesters should have just shot the driver and kept shooting until they were confident that he could press the gas pedal. --"The police and witnesses said the man in the car turned it aggressively toward the marchers"
    2
  4102.  @dedutch101  Sorry, but you're lying. Please tell me the source of what you're quoting. Because the only person making that claim is the shooter, all other witnesses say the gun was never pointed at the driver. The only threat in this situation was the driver who intentionally drove into the crowd. Again, based on your logic the protesters should have immediately killed the driver based on this perceived threat. ---"witnesses told the American-Statesman that the driver appeared to drive into the crowd and came to a stop when the vehicle hit a temporary barrier erected to block traffic from the street. Several protesters, including Foster, approached the car, they said, and Foster had his weapon pointed down."
    2
  4103.  Michael Combs  The road was barricaded to traffic because the protest. The driver drove directly into the crowd anyway which is why the protesters were agitated. The driver could have killed someone with his car and ended up killing someone with his gun instead. The guy came there looking for trouble and murdered someone. If the protesters had your mindset they would have shot the driver as soon as he drove into the crowd.

  4106. SirVixIsVexed Seth Rich had nothing to do with the released emails. That "conspiracy theory" was debunked almost a year ago (10 months) and yet you still believe it. You're a classic case of "projection", you believe in nonsense conspiracy theories so you automatically think that other people do too.

  4107.  @shadowthehedgehog3113  I can't imagine dating someone who is 100% against what I believe, sorry. To me that just makes her extremely shallow. The guy was literally against abortion and trying to dismantle Obamacare. Yeah cause Trump won because he was SOO careful about what he said, LOL. Give me an effing break dude.

  4108.  @shadowthehedgehog3113  I have conservative friends and I have progressive friends that advocate for gun rights. However there's a difference between that and sharing a bed with someone who wants to take your rights away from you as a woman. Sure... As if there isn't going to be a backlash for children in cages, the rise of white nationalism, taking away abortion rights, and giving 1.2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and adding 4 trillion to the deficit. Keep telling yourself that. People like you love slinging labels around like "far left" but you rarely ever come with any real arguments.

  4110. Your problem is that you somehow think that if someone calls someone else a racist then they must be calling you a racist because of your skin tone. It's just irrational thinking on your part, probably stemming from loneliness and depression.

  4111.  @plghh  Again what recent president has really done any kind of sweeping reforms other than tax cuts? Like I said doing the least damage with the military, Immigration, and court appointments is pretty much all we're really voting for. The ACA was an okay thing and saved a lot of lives, but it was basically a band-aid on a bleeding system. I don't think he could have gotten M4A or even a public option at the time because you had so many special interests completely paralyzing congress from doing much of anything.

  4112. Bernie doesn't specify exactly how Medicare for all gets paid for so how can you blanketly say that "It will be easier to pass?" That makes absolutely no sense. Obviously a lot of these things will be negotiated and changed along the way. Obama's healthcare plan that he ran on as a candidate during the 2008 campaign wasn't what became the ACA. Obviously a lot of this is political and by specifying areas (like immigration) where we are wasting money she is trying to make a political point.

  4113.  @Marbles471  The reason why we have a different penal system for minors/juveniles compared to adults is because we understand that people's brains aren't fully developed and rational until they reach a certain age. Yet somehow people throw that idea out the window when a child does something horrendous. Suddenly they want to try a child as an adult or in your case, think the child is forever unsalvageable. A horrible act doesn't magically change biology.... So you have understand that thinking that way isn't exactly rational, especially when you start making assumptions about a child's "soul". There is a reason why terrorists and gang members get indoctrinated at a young age. At the same time there are plenty of gang members that did horrible things in their youth who came out of prison older, wiser, and completely rehabilitated. I don't know what the situation was, but the goal should be to fix what led to that point so that we don't create more victims in the future. However blind vengeance doesn't actually help society or victims. It only makes people feel better to harm people that have harmed others.

By your logic, if the entire country was suicidal then a nuclear bomb shouldn't have made them stop or surrender either now would it? Again, it's just a bullshit story we tell ourselves so that we feel better about killing all those civilians.

  4120. Let's just acknowledge that Chris Charitie included himself as being part of the "establishment".... That is the most honest I've seen any Republican be in the last 6 years... I've literally never seen a politician admit to being part of the establishment. Usually they'll show off a pickup truck, some guns, or start working on a ranch or farm to do everything they can to pretend as if they aren't a typical elite politician.

  4121. 9:00 Hate to put a damper on Cenk's analogy, but people used to kill others for "lambskins" as well. The problem with money is not good people vs bad people, it's basic game theory. The monetary system creates an a series of incentives where money equals status and the accumulation of wealth becomes addictive, but instead of getting a high score in Super Mario Kart you do everything you can to accumulate more and more wealth. A good person can easily be incentivized to do bad things in the pursuit of wealth. The ultimate answer isn't to create a slew of new regulations to counteract bad behavior the answer is to diminish the need for money. However It'll probably be another hundred years before society comes to that conclusion.

  4123. Edward Marshall, 1. "connecting dots" is exactly how baseless conspiracy theories spread, because it relies on imagination not reality. 2. Looking at this things "without bias" is using data and empirical evidence, not on speculation. The reality is you guys don't want to look at things "without bias" you want look at think using a very specific bias so that everything fits the narrative that you've created. I've heard all of this before in many different variations. The logic all comes down to "Here is the XYZ narrative. Now because ABC happened once a long time ago, ABC in the XYZ Narrative is happening today. Because this other thing is true, it must be true in the XYZ Narrative. Because this thing happened coincidentally with this other thing, XYZ Narrative must be true" It's almost always the exact same leaps in logical. Whether it's ancient aliens, 911 conspiracies, etc. etc. etc.
    2
  4124. Scott Provan, See my response to Edward. You're making the same mistakes in logic. Just because you don't have an answer for something doesn't make something else true. Asking a question and expecting to fill it with the narrative you were given is the first sign that you're not using evidence, you're using stories.... It's the exact same logic that proponents of "ancient aliens" use. "We don't know how this ancient structure was created a long time ago, so it must have been aliens" If you don't like religion, then don't rely on same irrationality of filling something unexplained with a magical concept or a magical being... The number of sealed indictments you were told about is wrong, please look into it further. When you do you will see that most are not even for criminal cases. CEO's resign all the time. What lies are you talking about? Especially when Donald Trump lies constantly. Congressmen and senators always conveniently resign when they think they are about to lose, which is very likely to happen in during the midterms. There is nothing unusual about it. You won't see proof of a prank because you're not looking for it... There was an Italian a novel called "Q" written in the 1990's whose main character (called Q) could have easily inspired this hoax. Nothing is happening , nothing will happen, just like nothing happened with the last thousand conspiracy predictions that all turned out to be bullshit. This is just another in a long line of people fooling themselves with fairytales.

  4125. The Cold War led to decades of propaganda that has completely brainwashed this country. Most people have no clue what "Marxism" is.

  4126. Please explain to me the actual crimes that Hillary or Hunter Biden committed. Don't just use "Hunter/Hillary bad" as a rhetorical trick to make yourself seem objective to right wingers, it makes you sound hack-ish. I've got no love for Hillary, but an old lady not knowing how secure an email server, and fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation, was not a crime. Whereas Trump stole documents and spent a year refusing to give them back and gave back some and lied about others. To compare those two things at all is absolutely absurd. One is making a mistake with your communications the other is outright theft of classified documents.

  4129. I really don't get it Kyle... You say you want "more sanctions", but not sanctions that would hurt Russia enough for them to care. So, what exactly is the point of "more sanctions" then? Symbolism? I don't want war but weak sanctions that really don't matter, just means we let Russia take whatever countries they want. Then China can do the same thing to Taiwan. Sometimes there really isn't a good choice, only hard decisions.

  4130. Maybe you should figure out what is factual and not factual first and foremost.... Being obsessed with thinking the opposite of what people you don't like think sounds rather childish.

  4131. Sorry Kyle, but when you're making TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars each year talking to one of the largest audiences in media you have a responsibility to be accurate in your commentary on issues of life and death. Joe Rogan promoting a drug not proven to do anything for Covid and known to cause infertility in men and death for people not taking it safely is damn irresponsible. Treating him like he's just "some dude" while you eviscerate people like Rachel Maddow or people on CNN anytime they get a story slightly wrong is being a hypocrite. You, Krystal, and Sagaar all like Joe Rogan and you want to be on his podcast again and so you're being soft on him, bottom line...

    2
  4134. I don't know why no one is talking about this... The reason why Klobuchar spiked in the polls was because of her closing remarks at the last debate where she actually said she was going to fight for SOMETHING. Up until that point she did nothing but poo poo on everyone else's ideas. In my mind it had little to do with "toughness" it was the fact that she showed that she actually cared for once. Similarly Tom Steyer had a good debate performance, but he never offered anything other than pointing out problems, so he didn't spike in the polls.
    2
  4135. Well Kyle, the system might be corrupt, but the fact of the matter is.... THESE PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP who is probably the most corrupt president that we've had since Nixon. So I'm sorry, but facts DO matter. If people go out and vote for Trump when it was obvious that he was a serial criminal, racist, and a liar. If they thought that Trump was going to be less corrupt than Hillary, then these people are fundamentally living in fact free world and I wouldn't just blame "the establishment" for that.

  4136. This is how the Left eats itself... Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. I've been a Bernie supporter since before most people even knew who the guy was. Warren isn't perfect, but she's still better than most people running, and she is still 1000000 times better than Trump. If you're going to spend the entire election nitpicking every little thing from Warren and pretend that it's somehow equal to Trump, then you're undermining progressivism. During the 2016 election most of your videos covered Hillary's corruption while you almost completely ignored Trump.... Then Surprise Surprise we ended up with Trump and many people are now dead because of it. (Healthcare, increased bombings, interment camps, decreased standards, etc.) Let alone the damage done to climate change.

  4137. I agree with everything except that "The good ideas will beat the bad ideas". That's not always the case and it's probably the reason why Germany and other countries are a bit more sensitive to free speech because they've personally witnessed the bad ideas overpowering the good ideas. Hell even in this country over 70% of the people agreed with invading Iraq because the bad ideas outweighed the good ideas.

  4140. I'm not a fan of those war games, but making a promise that would leave South Korea & Japan vulnerable without even discussing it with our allies first is pretty irresponsible. If there are no guarantees of nuclear disarmament (as there were with the Iran deal) then basically you're giving free reign for North Korea to not only build up it's nuclear arsenal, but be in a better position to wage war on our allies. There needs to be guarantees, otherwise Trump is making the situation far more dangerous than it was before.

  4141. @Chantel Simmons A bunch of idiots said the same thing in 2016. What did we get? Nearly started a war with Iran TWICE. A humanitarian crisis on the border. Hundreds of kids who may never see their families ever again. Hundreds of thousands of American's dead. A supreme court who is set to overturn Roe v. Wade and rule in favor of every corporate agenda for the next few decades. Hundreds of thousands of American DEAD and a president who undermined democracy and may not step down even if he loses. Yeah GENIUS strategy you have there... I'm sick and tired of you morons. Your vote to "show them!" isn't making a statement to ANYBODY. The Republicans will just use your dumb vote to bring in fascism and the Democrats will just use your dumb vote to become more like Republicans. You're not empowering anyone by putting authoritarians, corporate Republicans, and corporate judges in power who will simply screw you over. You're just being a moron.

  4142. They're lost between the various branding slogans they've been taught since 1980s... More often than not Progressives will lean towards the policies and ideas that helps the most people and make the most sense given the context.

  4143. magicwackywacko if that were the case then people would have had the same issues with the other movies. " It makes sense to me why the lightsaber calls to Rey, she is strong with the force" Sorry, but no that doesn't make sense. Just being "strong with the force" doesn't suddenly make an inanimate object that you have no connection to, call out to you. Heck even Anikan's lightsaber didn't magically call out to his own son. Why? Because there's no damn reason it would... There's even less of a reason why it would call out to Rey. This is the sort of crap that people make up that is an insult to common sense. The force isn't just some plot convenience to move the story along. There are people born strong with the force all over the galaxy, it doesn't magically make them a Jedi with no training. Heck even if you do get training there is STILL no guarantee that you will be a Jedi. This was established in the very first *movie*. The reason why I like Star Wars and I don't like Harry Potter, is because I don't except "magic" as a tool for plot convenience. " I think people ruon it for themselves" I went into this movie looking to disprove any naysayers. I went out scratching my head at all the plot holes, character inconsistencies, lack of character development, and wondering how the story progressed at all from The Force Awakens. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, but it's not like people just decided to make things up

  4144. @Total Water Changing your position based on new information and studies is called "science". Never changing your stance based on what people were unsure of in the beginning is just being dumb. Wearing a mask isn't isolating an entire nation it's slowing the spread of a virus so that less people die, we don't overrun hospitals, our economy suffers less, and we buy time for a vaccine to be developed.

  4147. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but... The vaccines are the best weapon we have to protect people, however, they do not stop transmission so... We're going to be living with this virus from now on and eventually it will likely mutate into something that isn't as lethal to most people who either have had it or have had enough vaccinations. Although people who are immunocompromised have issues getting vaccinated anyway and unfortunately those are the same people who incubate and mutate viruses.

It should be a pretty simple thing to have consistency across the videos on your channel.... It's not like they don't do this for a living or anything. Of course they could just ignore it and pretend the problem doesn't exist. It's not like there aren't hundreds of other political/legal videos for people to watch every day. 🤷‍♂

  4150. Most of Congress and 70% of the country were in favor of intervention in Iraq at the time. So to act like Clinton is somehow responsible for what the Bush administration did because she voted on a resolution that everyone else in Congress voted for is kind of absurd. Also Hunter for Kushner is NOWHERE NEAR a fair trade. As if abusing your white house position to make hundreds of millions of dollars is the same as using your name to your advantage because your dad is famous. If that was the case you might as well arrest Megan McCain, most of Hollywood, and pretty much everyone in the Trump family.

  4157.  @christopherb501  Well that's a whole other conversation... There's a bunch of reasons why the Democrats are weak, but I think the bottom line is that the Republicans have had lots of surges over the decades that worked with the party that they were able to co-opt. Like the Southern Racists with Nixon, the Evangelicals with Reagan, then there were the neo-cons during the Bush Era, then the Tea Party with Obama. Trump was able to capitalize on all of those things during his run. The left had things like Occupy but it never translated into any kind of political action.... That's changing with Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren and the Justice Democrats. It represents a real shift within the Democratic party and actual representation in Congress.

  4158. How about exclusion from the vaccine when you've already had Covid? Which has been shown in multiple studies to give you a higher immunity to the variants than any of the vaccines. It is also shown to give you long term immunity, whereas the mRNA vaccines lose their effectiveness over time. So why is the conversation only between vaccinated and unvaccinated?

I still call her by her American name at times since I'm used to that and she doesn't really mind it, but I always introduce her to people using her Korean name so that other people know to use it.

Do you think you can just sit back and yell at fossil fuel companies and everything is going to magically be okay? Every aspect of our lives needs to change if we ever hope to survive as a species on this planet... We are already consuming well beyond that this planet is capable of sustaining and it's not just oil and all the products that are made from oil (which there are many). It is the food supply. It is the phones and electronic waste that is filling up landfills in other countries, it is the food waste, it is the packaging waste, it is the inefficient energy grids, it is the water, it is hundreds of things will that need to be changed in order for humans to live sustainably on this planet It is absolutely moronic to think that you can just sit around blaming fossil fuel and think nothing else will need to change.

  4180.  @johnmartin4641  First off it is amazing that you don't understand that English language, slang, and idioms change over time. It literally changes every year. How we speak and write today is vastly different than it was hundreds of years ago. It takes a special kind of kind of ego to think that you're somehow the arbiter of how English should be used. Secondly Republicans decided to get triggered over pronouns all on their own. NO ONE gave a crap about people adding pronouns to their signature or twitter handles until Republicans decided it was something they should be mad about. Republicans created a campaign against "Wokeness" because they don't have any actual policies to run on. As a result these people got fired for simply clarifying something in their email signatures.

Yes republicans regularly wipe people from the registry, biut what does that have to do with this video? 5. Umm... "opposition research" is a thing. It's not like Clinton magically invented the idea of doing research into the history of your opponent. I don't get your point at all here with the "dossier" 6.

I'm ashamed that anyone who would call themselves "progressive" would care about something so trivial while ignoring the fact that he is adamantly speaking out against bigotry and hatred. It is the very definition of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater". It's close to the same mentality of people being against Omar simply because she wears a headscarf.

  4184. Japan also did testing and contact tracing. They literally had people in hospitals calling people who were sick along with everyone that sick person was in contact with. There is also a sense of unity in everyone doing their part to stop the spread. They don't have an idiot in chief who decided to make stopping a virus political and against "freedom". Something like that would be unconscionable.

  4185. The thing is... we don't live in the past we live in a modern age. You can't compare polygamy to the past anymore than you can compare marriage today with how women were treated in the past. Women were basically "property" in many cultures for a very long time. Secondly abuse happens in non-polygamist relationships all over America today....

  4186.  @RojirigoD  To be fair being being an "anti-war pacifist" is the exact impression she wanted to give during the primaries. So it is not entirely "selective hearing" on the part of progressives it was exactly what she wanted to emphasize in order to tap into that movement. It's exactly the same with healthcare where she initially supported Medicare for All, then decided to change that to "Medicare Choice".

  4188. "does your argument of this is why women never report hold up at all, no. " Sure it does. You would be crazy to think that there wouldn't be as much or more criticism. "If they had sought justice with the evidence at the time of the offence it wouldn't look as suspicious as it does now. " You don't know what you're talking about. THERE WERE ACCUSATIONS ALL THIS TIME. Do you think this is the first time someone accused Cosby of rape? Cosby was far more powerful then than he is now. If this came up then it didn't see the light of day, many of the cases that came up were immediately disregarded. He was in a much better position to mess with their careers than he is now. Furthermore the "Me Too" movement created a spotlight and a safe space for far more women to come forward than otherwise would have happened. All you're doing is looking at yesterday's problems with today's lens and you're not helping anybody. Let alone women.

  4189. Does the caller think the economic crash was made up? Does he think americans SUDDENLY got lazy in 2007? If you honestly believe that "attitude" is responsible for everything then you would have to believe that society doesn't exist and that economies never rise and fall everyone simply suffers from mass histeria.

  4191. Black people fought to be able to sit in these southern diners during Jim Crow/Segregation. By refusing to go there it's almost bringing back segregation in a way. Not sure how I feel about that.... I'm sure Waffle House will pay attention since black people make up a big part of their customers, but the optics are interesting.

  4192. Yes many people.... In fact the Clinton foundation has an A rating from both Charity Watch and Charity Navigator. Meanwhile these charity monitoring organizations could not even investigate the Trump Foundation because of how it was structured. Have you actually looked into that? Because it's right there on Google... It's freaking astounding that people think that Hillary should be locked up because she had a less than secure email server while ignoring the LONG HISTORY of criminal behavior from Trump.

  4201.  @WannabeWoodsman  "Progressive" is looking at the multiple studies over the years which conclude that more guns in circulation equate to more homicides and suicides. Not being "progressive" is ignoring the studies that show people who have guns in the home are less likely to protect themselves and more likely to injure themselves, a child, or a loved one.

  4202.  @yailentrenhs3314  Also Bernie (along with Warren, AOC, etc.) are actually on the front lines fighting TODAY.... Tulsi isn't sticking her neck out on anything really. She is not fighting for any specific policy or legislation (that I've seen), she isn't calling out specific people on their bad polices. Her twitter feed is mostly about her running for president and raising money. If someone isn't fighting for you today, why would you believe they will fight for you once they're in office? She is really no different than Obama when he ran for office. Which is why I think TYT is a bit hesitant to endorse her. I don't know if she actually believes in what she's saying or if she is simply following the polls and looking for ways to stand out from the crowd.

The fact that you've had to say repeatedly that you agree mostly with Jimmy/Aaron over TYT yet you're having to make ANOTHER hour long response video to Jimmy/Aaron over the 15% you don't agree with, should tell you everything about their maturity and so called "integrity". You're not having to make a response video to Cenk/Ana about not having them on because they're not children. Nor is Cenk and Ana making snarky tweets about you as Jimmy is STILL doing.

  4206. The definition of being "reactionary" is thinking that a poll today automatically reflects how someone would do in an election over a year away and also thinking that some rando Democrat who has no national profile would automatically do better. No one has any idea how things will play out one month from now let alone 3 months or 6 months from now. Yet some people on the left are making proclamations that the election is already decided. It's insanity.

  4207. Emma... You refused to talk about Jordan Chariton scandal at all while you were at TYT and let everyone else talk about it even though you were closest to the story. I remember waiting for days, weeks, for you to say something about everything he had done and you refused. TYT barely covered it as well even though it went on for weeks. I think it's too easy to throw stones at other journalists who are in tough spots and I find it all self serving. Everyone likes to pretend they would have perfect journalistic integrity in all situations, but in reality you have no idea what you would do when it comes to you or your family.

  4208. We already know the electoral system is flawed. We already know that Hillary Clinton is a flawed candidate. We already know that the Republicans (and many Democrats) will vote in favor if the rich and corporations. What we DON'T KNOW is how corrupt this administration is and how deep the rabbit hole goes. Maybe something will come of it, maybe nothing. But if you care more about "the story" and whose benefiting from "the story" than you do about the truth and what's going on in our government, then you're doing it wrong....

  4211. Robby's answer to the job market is to make the working class as poor, impoverished, and desperate for work as people are in other countries. Works great for the capitalists like Bezos or the Walton family who will make money either way, but not so great for everyone else.

  4212. John is 100% right.... Tribalism exists everywhere. It may be less on the left simply because we're more fact oriented, but let's not pretend that people weren't willing to give Obama or Clinton a pass on some things just because of political affiliation. In some ways it's an advantage because we're free thinkers but in a lot of ways it's also a disadvantage of not having the passion to stick up and rally around our people as much as the right does.

  4213. RoughneckMP I'm sure most gun owners are responsible, The problem is the few who are not responsible are capable of killing dozens and severely injuring hundreds in a single instance. As long as these weapons are available in the public there really isn't enough you can do to magically get rid of them from just those people who could do harm. The question is would you trade your gun or settle for a much more restricted rifle for hunting if it meant that someone's mother, husband, child wasn't taken away from them? I realize that firearms are pretty much tied to your identity at this point, but If it were me I would be perfectly fine with getting into archery instead.

  4214.  @kevinflaherty1  You have actual evidence for that right?... Because actual studies using FBI data show the 30% spike in hate crimes in this country against Muslims, Jews, Hispanic people, black people, that started in 2016 with Trump's campaign. Never mind the numerous shootings and killings that happened in stores, synagogues, etc. that were motivated by Trump and his ilk. Or how about the spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans that were also emboldened by Trump and the rhetoric from the right? Don't talk to me about "realty" while you're sitting there talking to me about your feelings and your make believe... I'm sorry that facts make you feel bad, but making things up in order to make yourself feel better only makes you a little boy not a man.

  4219. She's looking to be VP.... Trump likely wants a woman VP so Marjorie Green, Tulsi Gabbard, Nikki Haley, etc. are all prostrating themselves in order to be Trump's pick. So she's not going to badmouth Trump. She's only running to get the media and Trump's attention.

  4223. I think that Libertarianism is a subtle by-product of over commercialization and hyper-consumerism. Government doesn't advertise.... So when 99% of what we see is a constant bombardment of corporate marketing/advertising all people know are Google, Microsoft, Apple, Coke, Red bull, etc. It takes real effort to think about the underlying infrastructure that makes it all possible as well as the research grants, loans, education, & goverment sponsored efforts that contribute to innovation.

When you're at home you don't have to worry about these things. Actual intercourse on that flight is probably only like 15-20 minutes.

  4229. Not sure what Cenk's point is on Covid being transmissible, because vaccines don't stop the coronavirus from being transmitted. They are largely for self-protection and only reduce transmission slightly and that was with Delta. With Omicron it's not even a conversation.

    2
  4232.  @WolvenSpectre  Then just use self driving cars on roads to the same effect.... You already have the infrastructure, you can do ride sharing to decrease traffic, and no need to build "special tunnels". There is nothing that this tunnel is offering that isn't already covered by subways and existing roads/tunnels. This is nothing more than empty promotion for a technology that isn't practical in any way.

  4233.  @ashleymcgaha5794  Yeah, but that's the equivalent of a software bug. You can fix that relatively easily. It's much harder to create and maintain vacuum tubes, spanning hundreds of miles, all while allowing people to move in and out of those vacuum tubes safely without losing the vacuum on the thousands of seals and entry points along the way. Musk hasn't even been able to accomplish that on a small scale. He sold an idea to the public without knowing what he was really talking about... I'm sure he knows that he can't really deliver on an actual hyperloop in any meaningful way. So it's now all about self promotion and publicity without really delivering anything. Just like the Simpson's monorail episode.

Now they sing a different tune when it's their guy facing even more extensive charges. Care to elaborate on that?

Tucker Carlson pretends we're about to have a race war simply talking about "white men", you pretend as if I'm "blaming all descendants" for something simply because I pointed out how dumb that statement is. I have little tolerance for bullshit so please stop.

  4239. THANK YOU JOHN for finally calling out the bs "Cancel Culture" narrative... Been so disappointed with Cenk, Ana, and many people on the left buying into some vague concept the right completely made up and decided to apply to everything they dislike. SAME THING they did with "political correctness". Same thing with "woke", or "snowflake" etc. It is not our job to constantly entertain every nonsense buzzword of the week as if it actually means something. It is the job of the right wing audience to mindlessly parrot slogans, not people who actually give a damn about substantive issues.

  4240. If we have someone on the right who shuts down government to get what they want and you have someone on the left who shuts down government to get what they want then essentially you have a non-functioning government. Is that what you really want Kyle? Because that seems to be where we're heading with all of this partisan bullshit.
    2
  4241. Nope. Trump was completely serious the whole time dude. Trump thinks it's "genius" because it took him awhile to figure it out, and once an aide explained it to him, he was like "wow that's cool! I want to do that!"

  4242. ​ @michaelkulman7095  Do you pack up and move to other countries anytime you find something you don't like there? tbh it doesn't effect me personally at all, but people should be aware that natural immunity is a thing. Other countries don't have different science, just different policies. Fauci is well aware of natural immunity, but the CDC is just choosing to ignore it. My guess is that they made a judgement call that it's easier to push vaccines than to talk about people who have already been infected. It is also very possible that Big Pharma has a hand in making sure they push as many vaccines as possible in this country.

  4244. With the exception of people like Ron Paul, the ENTIRE Republican party was behind the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and had NO PROBLEMS going into Iran. They held this position all the way up until Trump was elected. So they can eff off with any criticism of Liz Cheney's war mongering because they were ALOS supportive of war THE WHOLE DAMN TIME.

  4245. Audrey Muzingo, exactly.... These people don't realize that the whole point of an investigation is to acquire evidence and build a case. If clear evidence was just lying around on the street, there would be no point to investigating to begin with... Nixon was investigated for about 2 years before Watergate reached him directly.
    2
  4246. Audrey, yeah... It reminds me of all the drama with Jordan Chariton and how he started to talk smack about TYT behind their back and eventually got fired. You can tell that Steve Oh is starting to get a bit uncomfortable and having trouble agreeing with everything. I mean if you're going to try and shame guy who has helped your career immensely in the past few years, you should be damn sure that what you're saying is correct... Ego gets the best of people, pretty soon they believe that everything they say is correct so why not just make things up? Alex Jones and Bill O'Reily have made entire careers based on it.

  4247. Cenk gave Tulsi a progressive pledge. She never signed it... Not sure why you would think he would be on Tulsi's side. Not sure why you people can't recognize a fake progressive when you see one. Not sure how you couldn't see how Tulsi was cozying up to Biden and going after Kamela, just so she could be his VP pick. Tulsi was literally a conservative democrat like 5 years ago and was dating a Republican.

  4248. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" The entire point of the 2nd amendment was so that slave states could keep their "slave patrols" and continue to capture run away slaves. It was the only way to get support from the southern states who were afraid they wouldn't be able to keep their slaves if they signed the constitution. It was never about *you*, it was about politics, state sovereignty, and plantations being able to form militias to hunt down slaves who escaped and inspect slave quarters for weapons. When you understand the history it's pretty clear why the 2nd amendment was worded the way it was. This is why it says "security of a free State", because the Sothern states were afraid they wouldn't be able to properly secure all the black people they were enslaving if they weren't able to keep their militias.

  4249. Kyr Arnsugr at the very least people really need to ask why the Trump campaign suddenly changed the GOP platform to be pro-Russia (removing the sanctions, etc.) when it was something that the campaign never ran on and the GOP based never asked for. Not to mention hiring CEO of Excon mobile as Secretary of State out of nowhere. I'm not sure if Trump personally was behind these decisions (maybe he was just manipulated into doing it), but it's clear that there was and has continued to be favoritism towards Russia by people who were part of the Trump campaign. Trump was even given "fake news" on the campaign trail from a source that only traced directly to a Russian backed propaganda outlet. Does that mean we go to war? Of course not, but hell at least let's try to protect our democracy and plug all the issues that we find.

  4251. Kyle.... 1. Don't treat Cubans as if they are a monolith, it's kind of cringe. It's no different than Trump thinking that a Mexican Judge couldn't be objective. You're basically saying someone of Cuban descent can't be objective in the opposite direction. 2. What crimes should Hillary Clinton be locked up for exactly? Because she didn't know how secure her email server was? It's not like she had an intent to leak anything and she fully cooperated with the FBI investigation. If you're going to have the shtick of "I'm going to look objective by claiming that a Democrat should be locked up for something, you really should be specific about it.

  4252. The Mayor and Chief of Police want you to believe that they want to build Cop City in order to teach "de-escalation techniques". Who believes that garbage? They will use this facility to teach the same crack downs, militarized responses, and lethal force, they are doing right here.

  4253. A company that has to market a service, skim a profit from a service, be regulated by government offices and court system is not more efficient and cost effective. The more capitalism we have, the more government is required to maintain it. Which means more prisons, courts, regulators, inspectors, and laws/regulations to manage it. Eventually people will wake up to this paradox and understand that government and the private sector are co-dependent and that real change requires new paradigms.
    2
  4254.  @alpha-omega2362  Yeah I saw the video and guess what else I did? I followed up. The timeline of events doesn't even match the time that Biden was there. The prosecutor (who was being investigated for corruption) was fired 4 months later, not while Biden was visiting. Also you do realize that the prosecutor was fired for NOT investigating corruption right? The investigation into the company that Biden's son was part of went dormant under that prosecutor. Which is why he was eventually fired, because he wasn't doing anything. If Biden was really helping his son, he would have just left the prosecutor where he was. BTW none of that has to do with using a foreign government for political advantage or financially enriching yourself.

  4256.  @jimmykelley788  No one has any illusions that Biden and Harris have any miracle cure, but unlike Trump they are not going to lie to your face every day about the virus "magically disappearing" or miracle cures like Hydroxychloroquine, arguing with doctors and scientists, or politicize and lie about mask wearing which is the one thing that can slow the spread in this country so we could reopen the economy easier. But all that constant BS was perfectly okay with you right? Biden isn't raising the taxes on anyone making under 400,000, so educate yourself on the actual policies. Unlike Trump who game himself and his rich friends a tax cut and increased the deficit to 1.2 trillion and added trillions to the debt. Of course the GOP will magically start caring about the debt again when Biden is in the White house and you'll just blindly follow along.

  4261. Emidretrauqe, Sigh... Getting a tattoo of Churchill it doesn't somehow make him relevant to politics.

I don't care what a comedian put on his fucking leg. I care what the country is doing.

  4262. NickStone68 THEN TALK ABOUT THE CORPORATE DEMS IN CONGRESS, NOT HILLARY!!! Christ people, we have corporate Dems who are supporting Trump on legislation TODAY on tax cuts, health care, etc and you think we should waste time talking about what Hillary said in 2003, 2008, & 2016? The priorities here are seriously messed up. Move... the fuck... on.....
    2
  4263. Steve G, --"In short, it is much MORE important to be critical of the Democrats than it is to be critical of Trump." I couldn't disagree more... Yes we should be critical of the Democrats, but let's keep things into context and perspective. How many voters out there thought: "Clinton has so many problems so we might as well shake things up with Trump!"? Well elections have consequences.... We had a marine and 30-40 civilians (including children) die in a botched operation that Obama rejected that Trump green lighted as soon as he went into office. We had Trump drop the MOAB in Afghanistan and dramatically increase drone strikes killing far more civilians than we already were. We had a mob of racists dressed up like Trump kill a woman in Charlottesville. We have Trump banning refugees and Muslims who are running for their lives.. Not to mention Trump's statements on Muslims have inflamed extremism. We have Trump pulling out of the Paris climate accord. We have Trump dismantling Obamacare leaving millions uninsured or without subsidies which will lead to people dying from lack of coverage. We have the biggest mass shooting in the US in Vegas, and maybe Trump being in office or not wouldn't have made a difference but I do know Clinton was tougher and more outspoken on guns than most candidates in the Democratic party, including Sanders. We are closer to war with North Korea than we've been in decades. With North Korean missiles poised to kill millions in South Korea. This is literally life or death for thousands if not millions of people... To pretend that "everything is equal" or to even give the impression that there is more to criticize in the democratic party than there is in the Trump administration is to be willing to sacrifice people's lives for our own purity/ego.
    2
  4264. Steve G. It's not about the bubble, it's the fact that without the presidency it no longer benefits them. The fact that she's lost twice is more than enough incentive to bow out. If Chelsea was running she would be in the news regularly. Just like Cheney's daughter was before she ran for office. Unlike her parents Chelsea doesn't like the political spotlight. Again, you're wasting time, energy, political capital, being obsessed with the Clintons.... No one else talks about the Clintons. No one else cares. The only people giving them power and influence are a few corporate democrats and people like you and Kyle who are endlessly obsessed. The rest of us really don't give a shit about the Clintons. I'm sorry, but re-litigating the 2016 nomination over and over when it's almost 2018 is pretty pathetic. It's sad that Kyle is forgetting Bernie Sanders major positions, yet he still remember everything Hillary Clinton ever said. It's an obsession that is borderline *insanity*. Focus on the present and the people who are actually in office or actually running and move the fuck on..... The DNC is having hearings to fix it's problems. Talking about what bad judgements Clinton might have had in giving a speech 5 years ago isn't going to fix shit.
    2
  4265. Then focus on the current leadership, not hasbeen politicians... Keep in mind that only some Democrats supported TPP (mostly to support Obama) while nearly all republicans supported it. The main reason it was going to pass was because of the Republican support. However you wouldn't know that because of how we talked about it, we focused so much on Clinton that the narrative got completely lost. Meanwhile Trump has been pushing the same provisions that were in TPP all this time (they're just not calling it TPP), but instead of fighting him on that we're ignoring it and STILL talking about how Clinton supported TPP two years ago. "Do you want me to criticize Tom Perez instead of the Clintons or Obama?" Absolutely.... I honestly don't care how he got there. I care what he's doing now and whether we should kick him out or not. Are you going to criticize John Roberts or Clarence Thomas or does it really make sense to just focus on the presidents who appointed those judges? Focusing on people out of office is a complete waste of time and bitching about Clinton is not going to magically remove Tom Perez. Look, there are two conversations here: 1. How do we fix the DNC. 2. How do we win the next election with the right ideas and people. Conversation #1 Of course needs to talk about the 2016 nomination. The DNC is not going to get fixed without doing a post mortem on the mistakes that were made in the last national election. Conversation #2 If all your average voter hears is how bad Clinton was, then you are all but guaranteeing another victory for Trump.... The fact is the GOP is absolutely more corrupt. The RNC is absolutely more corrupt. We didn't get those leaked emails from the RNC even though we know they were trying to change their rules in order to get rid of Trump and nominate more established candidates. We also know that the RNC completely caters to their corporate donors. However it wasn't big news.... The democratic party may have a lot of corruption, but the fact is they are less corrupt and have better substantive ideas than the republican party and if we make everything about Clinton instead of reporting the reality of the situation, we're only shooting ourselves in the foot.

  4272.  @goofycomputer1234  Where do you see "nazi" in my comment or percentage agreements? People straw man when they actually don't have a real argument. It's better to just make up what you want to disagree with isn't it? That way you don't actually have to think about anything.
    2
  4273.  @wohodude100  Because what would that accomplish exactly? What you would LIKE to happen is for that messaging of "establishment bias" and "unfairness" to overcome endorsements and corporate media. Then you would LIKE for Democratic party primary voters to suddenly wake up and vote for Sanders. However what is likely to happen is that the Democratic Party infighting will be blamed on Sanders. You then come out of the primary with Sanders and Biden supporters completely polarized. Which Trump will use against the Democratic nominee. Which will suppress Democratic turnout in the general election. The establishment is not going to just sit around and not do anything if you call them "cheaters". What Obama did behind the scenes may be considered unethical, but people dropping out and endorsing other candidates has ben party of party politics for decades. You're not going to suddenly convince the entire electorate to support Sanders because of it. Sanders is well aware of this dynamic. His goal is to get rid of Trump. Strength is doing what's best for the country. Sanders has never been about his own ego.

  4274.  @riccardodelloste2949  Exactly, there's a reason why we didn't have a president Nader or Kucinich... Branding and how people perceive you often overrule policies. There's a reason why companies get celebrities to endorse their sports drink in their advertising instead of just listing the ingredients. If Sanders had gotten Elisabeth Warren to endorse him early on, then that would have told some voters "Hey, maybe this guy is okay". Unfortunately coalitions matter more than ideas... The sad truth is the only reason why Biden is sailing into the Whitehouse right now is because more politicians liked him personally than Sanders. Also It is far easier in politics to build a coalition around corruption and self interest than it is over actually helping people.
    2
  4275.  @rgwf1908  What accomplishments exactly? Let's see... Trump put a gaping hole in our debt and deficit by giving more tax cuts to the rich. Decimated small farms in a useless trade war that required Federal subsidies just to keep afloat. Oh and guess what? The trade deficit with China is even HIGHER than when Trump took office. Then he blew a hole in the deficit again by raising the Military budget by hundred billion or more. While simultaneously trying to defund the CDC over and over, disbanding the USC Pandemic Team, and firing the CDC staff who were actually stationed in China and COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING before the pandemic spread all over the world. We sank hundreds of billions of dollars into the military and a useless "wall" that NEVER EVEN GOT BUILT (Several miles at most, the rest was just replacing existing barriers). Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Americans died in a pandemic, millions are lining up at food banks, while Trump can't even get relief passed to save the millions more who are on the verge of homelessness.... Yeah great effing success story there. All you people do is listen to Trump lie about himself all the time and you think that's reality. I bet you think "reality tv" is real too.
    2
  4276.  @rgwf1908  Sorry, but you're not really saying anything or making an actual argument. You seem brainwashed by some sort of ideology. On your one comment on the pandemic. A lot of countries got hit by the pandemic, but countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand. Japan, etc. took it seriously in the beginning and we didn't... The death tolls in those countries are a tiny fraction of what we have here (even when you account for population) and their economies are doing fine. In fact life has been more or less normal for them for months The fact that the richest country in the world could not do anything is an absolute joke. It's a failure of leadership. South Korea was testing their entire population in February while Trump was golfing holding campaign rallies and pretending that concerns over the virus was a "hoax" and pretending that the virus was going to "disappear". He then went on to downplay the virus and encouraged people to not wear masks. Never mind all the numerous failures of not replenishing our national supply of PPE, not making testing available, and putting his son in law in charge of handling the pandemic. There was absolutely no national plan to speak of for months and this country paid the price. Trump has fooled millions of working class people so I wouldn't assume anyone who supports Trump is rich, just people caught up in a cult of personality and fooled by a pathological liar. Sorry, but you still haven't listed any actual accomplishments....

  4277. If people only advocated things based on polling or popularity we wouldn't have gay marriage, legalized weed, or support for Medicare for All.... I'm pretty astonished that you're talking down to some of your viewers for simply advocating for things they believe are right. Just because you disagree, doesn't make them "stupid" or "idiots".... Get over yourselves already. You sound a lot more like Nancy Pelosi. You're not the gate keepers for everything that the left should advocate for.

Wow I guess the answer is that you are really dumb after all 😂 There's a reason we are called a "nation of immigrants", because most people immigrated here in their ancestory. An "immigrant" can be a citizen, or in the process of applying for citizenship, a resident, green card, etc. Most of the "immigrants" in this country are not undocumented dumb a$$. People like Tuker Carlson & Trump rely on really dumb people like you to spread hate and ignorance. Christ man, come out of your cave and effing educate yourself already.

  4286. You criticize Cornel for only having political courage and no strategy. Then you criticize Bernie for having strategy but not enough political courage. You can't have it both ways... Yeah there's a reason why AOC and Bernie are doing this in the primary instead of going out on a limb for someone whose campaign is a mess and would get bodied worse than Bernie when going up against an incumbent president. No one's going to give a shit what Bernie or AOC say during the general election. Their sway is within the PARTY, duh... Saying "nice lefty things" is great and all, but at some point you have to get SOMETHING done and a lot of times that requires making deals.

  4291. Have these conversations with Jewish Zionists online all the time. They are so conditioned into the mindset of a Jewish state as a safe haven, but can't in any measurable way demonstrate how the state of Israel has made Jews safer. They talk about how Arabs are against them and terrorism from Palestinians without any self awareness of how that undermines the idea of the state of Israel making Jews safer. Antisemitic hate crimes exist in the US, but it isn't anywhere near the deadly attacks and constant threat has existed in Israel for 75 years. If Israel had offered Palestinians citizenship decades ago, there wouldn't be a Hamas today. Even if not all Palestinians became Israelis you would delegitimize the reason for terrorism to exist.

  4292. I remember there was an article written early last year by a scientist who worked at the Wuhan lab and she talked about testing all the strains they had when the pandemic first broke out and they had sequenced the virus. None of the strains matched. So I wonder what that was all about because a lot of talk I here is about the "possibility" and there hasn't been any data provided.

  4293. The irony of Jess Watters comparing lying and voting for Kamala to "cheating" when he literally cheated on his last wife with a Fox News producer. The tactic he used to start dating her was to deflate the tires on her car and pretend to help her by giving her a ride.

Sexually harassing the women who work for you and making them live in fear of you. 3. Reporting to people that this guy sexually harassed women and made the story go away. 4. Spending your life on the payroll of the GOP to spread their lies about minorities in order to enrich yourself. To me the real story is 2 & 4. The fact that this guy and many others like him can spend years lying about other minorities and being the token black guy for the GOP is the real issue.

  4296.  @exiledhebrew1994  Or maybe, just maybe... The people who voted for the bill wanted to get some relief to people even if it's not ideal. You people pretend as if It's just the Democrats and Trump creating this bill. As if McConnel hasn't been blocking aid and demanding corporate protections for months.

  4297. It's interesting how Democrats following the evidence, suspicions, wanting an investigation into possible Russia collusion, and then ultimately accepting the results of that investigation somehow counts as being "radicalized". Meanwhile Republicans after 50 court cases, several recounts, and no evidence are literally asking for the democratic vote to be overturned and for Trump to be installed as president regardless of the election results.

  4301.  @jackohere1878  This is my take on her "record": 1. Being unsure if she supported torture or not in as late as 2014. 2. It took her a LONG TIME to come around to supporting Medicare for All. Something that I supported nearly two decades ago. She only supported only when Bernie's plan became popular. 3. She called out Democrats in their opposition to Trump's budget... Instead of calling out Trump shutting down the government for a wall. She decided to equally blame "both sides" instead of Trump for political reasons. 4. She dated a republican shortly before she got married. Not just any republican, but a staunch republican and the guy who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony for asking him questions on corruption. Who later then WENT TO JAIL for that corruption. I don't see how you can be a progressive and date a guy who wants to ban abortion, repeal Obamacare, and extend the Bush Tax Cuts.... It may be that they were completely at odds on those issues, or it may be that she never cared enough about those issues to mind being with a guy who had those positions. Ether way she is NOT SOMEONE TO BE TRUSTED until she has more years under her belt of doing things other than running for president.

  4302. The extent that people will lie to themselves and others to make themselves seem important is amazing. The entire q-anon movement is people pretending they have "secret knowledge" so that they feel special, so this is not surprising at all. It's really no different than religion.

One of the many reasons why people say that spending money on a wall is dumb. Not to mention that illegal immigration has been going down for years without a wall. It' just a dumb waste of money to make xenophobic/racist Trump supporters happy.

  4305. crazywaffleking lol.... It's funny that you think the world is the same as it was 2000 years ago as, if we're defending against hordes of Mongolians on horseback. In case you didn't realize it we have airplanes now and airplanes fly over walls.... Nevermind the fact that as been stated many times it is impossible to have a continuous wall across the entire border. The terrain doesn't allow for it. Nevermind the fact that illegal immigration has been down for years. So we're waiting money on a problem entirely made up for political purposes.

  4306. Trump has given Biden 3.5 years of nonstop scandals and incompetent behavior. If Biden or his well paid team can't put away Trump with all of that material then they would have to be total losers. Trump is no longer the "outsider" he's an incumbent with a record and pretty much every aspect of that record has been an abject failure.

  4307. I disagree about "indifference". Just ask Howard Dean about how his campaign fell apart when the media decided to fixate on his scream during a campaign speech... If the media ridiculed Trump and treated him like a joke rather than just calling out his lies or acting as if he is "dangerous" you would definitely see an impact on the polls.

  4313. That was hilarious. I literally LOLed and lost it when she talked about her coffee.
    2
  4314. Let's make on thing clear... The only reason Tulsi attacked Kamala instead of Biden on that debate stage was because she wanted to undermine Kamala's chances to become Biden's VP. Because SHE wanted to be his pick. Which is why she never attacked Biden on the crime bill or the Iraq war. It was never about progressivism. Keep in mind that Tulsi even criticized Obama for not bombing enough in Syria. It was obvious that after the primaries she was going to shift right to try and become Trunp's VP. That woman has never had any real principles other than hating gays and Muslims everything else has been an angle.

  4315. The shooter in El Paso specifically referenced the same anti-immigrant rhetoric that Trump has been repeating for the past 3 years.... Tell me what ideology or statements was the shooter responding to from the Warren or Bernie? You people don't give a shit about these issues, you're just trying to support your team.

  4316. Not sure why we need to be fair to the person who gave them the idea in the first place. Trump instigates violence towards people like Omar by making his supporters believe she is an enemy of america and a traitor as opposed to just a political opponent. It's sick.

  4317. By Emma's logic, anytime a boss says "it's up to you" it's never up to you. It would imply that bosses can never give freedom to any employee because everything is based on an unspoken coercion. So I don't really buy that argument at all.

Either you're making up crimes and using the DOJ to prosecute people over politics, or you're telling the DOJ to let someone get away with crimes. Either way it would be pretty corrupt and impeachable.

  4321. If Biden stays in the race I will be really scared of him winning re-election. I might be a tiny bit concerned about Warren or Kamala simply because I know how stupid people can be when it comes to voting for a woman (even women unfortunately). But overall Biden is the biggest threat to Trump winning reelection it'll just be Clinton vs Trump all over again and that's exactly what Trump wants to run on. Bernie of course would win EASILY.

  4322.  @youknow9092  Sorry, but I look at policies, not "groups"... If all you do is spend your whole life wearing someone else's team jersey and cheering for one team while demonizing another. Then all you will be is a useful tool for politicians to manipulate.
    2
  4323.  @youknow9092  1. I was explaining to you that there is a REASON why 3rd world countries have low taxes and 1st world countries don't.... And there's a difference between wanting to change a specific tax code, such as saying: "Hey shouldn't the wealthy or corporations pay more in this case?" or "shouldn't their be a tax credit for or reduced taxes in this case?" vs being entirely clueless as to why there are taxes to being with. Pretending that taxes are inherently bad, as you were doing, is simply a result of propaganda and programming. 2. You're not coming to a conclusion based on facts. You're just repeating the same talking points I've heard many times, for many years. You might as well chant "freedom!" or "small government!". These are empty statements that come from think tanks that aren't based on policy and don't actually mean anything. They are just meant to manipulate people.
    2
  4324.  @youknow9092  1. Sure, just make up what I said and meant. 2. The definition of "excessive" and for whom, is why we discuss details like capital gains, tax brackets, estate taxes, property taxes, gas taxes, etc.. We don't just pretend that all taxes are the same, because that is a dumb nonsensical argument. 3. Again "smaller government" is a slogan that doesn't mean anything. Politicians say that while increasing the size of our military. It's meaningless. "Less regulation" is also a slogan. I don't want e-coli in my food or poison in my rivers and streams do you? Well "regulations" control that. It is entirely idiotic to have a conversation about "regulations" without talking about WHICH REGULATIONS, lol. The reason why you're programed with "less regulations" instead of anything specific is so that special interests can cut the ones that help their profits at your expense. 4. Sorry... but you're displaying your ignorance here. The difference between 1st world countries and 3rd world ones are "larger" and more effective governments. Every 1st world country has a form of progressive taxation. Every 3rd world country also represents a country were people fend for themselves and don't rely on government. They are also full of people in poverty. Is that what you want? Or do you just want to reap all the benefits of a 1st world country while never having to contribute back to it?
    2
  4325.  @youknow9092  1. It's clear you're willing to blatantly lie in order to make a point. Even after I clarified exactly what I meant. 2. Colonial America isn't anywhere close to the world today. The founders would have fought and died for the infrastructure and systems we have today. 3. Government isn't inherently "evil". How we run government makes it good or bad. North Korea, Afghanistan, Congo Republic have governments that are a fraction of the size of the US. Being "smaller" doesn't make them less corrupt or not dictatorships. It's amazing that people actually believe the crap you're spewing.... 4. Sorry, but I didn't ask what you "thought". I asked you to provide EXAMPLES for why the "small governments" in all 3rd world countries around the world are not prosperous like the "large governments" of the US, Canada, UK. Germany, Australia, Japan, France, etc. etc. Why do so many people who live in poverty live in countries with "small governments"? While all the people who are rich and have a middle class live in counties with "big governments" (based on tax revenue as a percentage of GDP) Have you seriously never even once thought about looking for actual evidence to back up your claims? 😂 Your problem is that your entire ideology is based on your "feelings". This is why people like you are so easily manipulated by that crap.... Well funded think tanks feed you a line that feels good and you mindlessly follow it.

  4331. People have always gotten fired or ostracized from society for stupid reasons. Remember the "pitchforks" analogy that came from Frankenstein movies?

So spare me the self pity by those who decided to use their company's wealth to target a minority group they didn't like. Then started crying when people were upset about it. They could have just made effing sandwiches, closed on Sunday, and no one would have cared.

  4336. Not all jobs "congregate" and there is nothing about vaccination that prevents you from spreading the virus to others. People who are vaccinated are ALSO staying home from work when they have that option so acting as if a vaccine requirement is related to people staying home from is absolutely absurd. It also made NO SENSE to have a policy only apply to 100 or more employees when most of the "congregation" is going to happen at restaurants and bars which have less than 100 employees. Furthermore, there is a reason why you have a "washing your hands" requirement for restaurants, but not at an accounting firm. Pretending it's the same situation is a nonsense argument. The regulations should be based on the job function not an arbitrary rule in order to generally coerce people to getting a vaccine. If Republicans decided to create a regulation through OSHA to drug test everyone every week or prevent women from taking birth control because they decided to make up a work hazard related to birth control side effects, we would be up in arms. The fact that so many progressives have latched onto this idea of vaccine mandates and school closures over the past year is one of the dumbest things I've seen politically in all my life.

However people would show up at a Star Wars convention wearing Rey or BB-8 costumes. Why? Because those things were ADDED to the Star Wars universe. Hate to break it to you, but that's just part of life. Things get added or updated and you really don't have control over it. I don't personally like BB-8, but those things were ADDED to the Star Wars universe so I have to except that people would want to cosplay as those things. No different than the fact that a new kind of fencing was added to the sport of fencing. Not everyone has to get on board with it, but that's just life. No one person gets to dictate what is and isn't part of a sport.

  4343.  @jerkjerkington3874  No, cause I'm not Native American so why would I be part of those discussions?.... However many of those traditions correspond to religious beliefs. This is not a religion. This is a sport.

  4344. Shooting people in a political protest suggests a political motive. Driving through a parade when cops are after you, does not. Now if it were a Trump or GOP rally, then it would suggest a political motivation. But that wasn't the case now was it? Looking at just the race of the driver makes you sound really dumb.

  4345.  @hagadizle  And by the same dumb logic other people with guns could have shot and killed him, because they also saw him as a threat. It's amazing how people convince themselves of dumb logic. Now everyone will just bring guns and instead of protests we'll have shootouts. The people left standing will just claim "self defense".

  4352. 1. The place to challenge that choice is in the primaries. 2. The democratic leadership bases their choices far more on "who is" voting for then not "who isn't". Not voting doesn't really factor into their decision making one bit. Bernie Sanders was able to shift the narrative in the Democratic Party because he got votes. 3. You're not removing or adding any power by not voting. The party who wins has power, period. 4. Again, the place to challenge establishment Dems empowering Trump is in the primary. Not voting doesn't magically do this. 5. Voting Green or Libertarian is the same as not voting. There is a reason why there hasn't been a viable 3rd party in nearly 200 years. To change power you have to work within the power structures that are in place

There are however DOZENS of cases of looting, vandalism, arson, and shootings by white supremacists in these protests. White supremacists have literally murdered cops to start a race war. Yet that NEVER get's talked about for some reason.....

  4355.  @ulthanee  Read the Militia Acts of 1792/1795 A militia may be made up of civilians doing their own thing most of the time. However it is abundantly clear that their purpose was to be called upon as a fighting force by a State or the United States in times of need. Which is something that George Washington did and it is essentially the precursor to the National Guard today. At no point was there this idea that the militias could fight the government when they disagreed with something.
    2
  4356.  @ulthanee  I never said anything about "disarmament" now did I? However it was clear that given the many restrictions on gun ownership at the time (mentally ill, felons, concealed weapons, bans from carry guns in certain towns or well populated areas), that it was never viewed as some unrestricted right as some view it today. Rather, we have a reinterpretation of the 2nd amendment that was mostly meant to allow states to maintain local militias. Even the NRA advocated for gun restrictions in the early 20th century. Then changed their position when it became a political organization receiving millions of dollars from the gun industry.

  4357. Nah... I think it would still be a 3 way split in congress if it were between (Hillary, Trump, & Johnson) with the split favoring Hillary. Of course all the democrats would go for Hillary and I honestly think there are a lot of Republicans that would go for Hillary over Trump or Johnson.

  4358. YYYxEEE  You need to just admit that all you have is mindless speculation.  There are hundreds of things one could speculate could possibly happen, but you're seriously an idiot if you spend your day being afraid of imaginary threats based on flawed speculation instead of the real dangers that exist to this planet and to your health.

  4359. YYYxEEE  Dude.... Do you realize how many deadly viruses have some chance of mutating? There are many with a far better chance of mutating and killing lots of humans than Ebola.  The only reason you're suddenly scared of Ebola is because of the hype it's received in the media.  That is pathetic.
    1
  4360. YYYxEEE Again, many viruses have mutated.  The Flu viruses mutates constantly and we are far more likely to die from an outbreak of a deadly flu virus mutation.  than anything else.  We have already had many such deadly outbreaks in our history .  Again just because someone with Ebola landed in Texas doesn't mean that now suddenly it's going to mutate, become airborne, and kill everybody... The idea is completely dumb and only belongs in cheesy Hollywood movies.
    1
  4361. YYYxEEE The flu kills far more people than Ebola each year and as I said it has already mutated onto deadlier strains in the past resulting in millions of deaths.  I find it laughable that you somehow believe that a non-airborne virus will suddenly mutate and become airborne yet you find it hard to believe that a virus which already has a high transmission rate could mutate and turn deadly.  Your irrationality has zero logic...  It's nothing more than panic fueled by sensationalism in the media.  When scientists talk about the next pandemic they usually refer to flu viruses or "bird flu" viruses. They don't talk about "flying" mutated Ebola.

  4367. For me it's not about hating babies, it's about temperament and not being able to let shit go. That's the biggest problem with Trump. However "PC Outrage" worked when Trump made comments against Khizr Khan's son didn't it?

Again, being in the habitable zone doesn't not mean it is habitable for life or habitable for humans. Mars is also in the "habitable zone", but we would not call that planet "habitable". We have no idea if Proxima b has an atmosphere, a magnetic field, levels of radiation and a dozen other things that would make it completely not habitable. Saying that it is habitable, is a complete lie based on the information we have.

  4380. I'd like to see something like a primary of 12 candidates then a general election of 3 or 4 candidates and then maybe a runoff of 2 candidates if the votes are close.  All regardless of party.  All using the same election mechanism.  With the order of the state primaries determined at random.

  4381. She basically handed his argument to him on a platter.

  4382. It's pretty simple. Men are more aggressive and take more risks than women. It is not a systemic thing it is natural thing that is true in every culture around the world. You might as well ask why most football players, skaters, and dare devils, etc. are men. However what isn't true is that one race (given the same culture and environment) is more aggressive and violent than another. So there is no reason for the disparity that we have in the same country for one race or another. It is entirely due to economics and an ongoing systemic bias.
    1
  4383. roy romano You're basically asking a hypothetical. If you go to any densely populated poor area in the world you will find that the crime rate and violence is much higher than anywhere else. It doesn't matter if it's in the US, Russia, Ireland, UK, etc. Also If you go to any place in the world were economic inequality is high, you will also find increases in things like teen pregnancy, mental illness, violence, etc. Would you call that a culture issue or an economic issue?
    1
  4384. roy romano If "all you know is black culture" then you don't know much at all. If you don't understand the effects of poverty, socio-economics, and the studies on institutional bias then you don't have the tools to solve the problem. I'm not calling you a liar, I'm calling you uninformed. Simply wagging your finger at a community and telling them to stop listening to a type of music (which has been said about rock n roll, hip hop, heavy metal, etc.) or stop playing violent video games, or stop reading certain books has never helped any community in the history of mankind.... Creating economic opportunity, education, fixing systemic racism, reducing inequality, and creating functioning communities where civilians work with and trust the police. THAT is what solves problems. What you claim to have "seen". I have actually experienced. So it's not like I don't understand what you're saying or where you're coming from. It's just that your perspective is limited and you need to understand a lot more than you currently do.
    1
  4385. roy romano You can try to blame culture all you want, but blaming culture over and over is never going to magically make people "understand what you understand". From my perspective I also think that the world would be a better place if everyone could magically think like me, but that's not going to happen. However if you create an environment where people feel safe and secure. Where people have good homes, get good food/nutrition and don't have to struggle for survival every day. Where people don't feel like looked down upon or 2nd class to everyone else then you create an environment were people will naturally thrive. The millions of kids in suburbia (White and Black) who listen to hip hop music aren't turning into criminals because they're in an area where they are safe and have access to opportunities and education.
    1
  4386. roy romano Again... What a person wears or how a persons speaks has little bearing on whether they will be criminal or not. Do you somehow think if you go to the slums of Kenya or Tanzania that Africans wearing traditional garb don't commit crimes? Of course they do. That environment creates little opportunity for much else. You're looking at symptoms not causes.

  4387. Storm base reviews Let's see... 1. According to Trump's ex-wife he raped her repeatedly. 2. There are accusations that he molested two under-aged girls 3. He molested a former miss america contestant and settled. 4. He illegally used money from his foundation to bribe politicians and pay his companies legal settlements. He was fined twice for this. 5. He scammed thousands of students through Trump university. So who is a felon again? based on what?

  4388. Storm base reviews Google is your friend. This is all well documented . Clearly you don't spend any time researching Trump's background.

The thing is everyone knew I was joking (the lady at the counter, my friends obviously). However the idea that I would make such a joke was just so abhorrent to everyone.  It's weird and sad how our culture and mindset has completely changed over the years.  It's fine if you joke about things that are far more likely to kill you (heart attack, car accident, etc.).  However there is such a manufactured culture of fear around terrorism in this country that we've conditioned ourselves to react this way.

  4393. Trump wants to lower the top tax rate to 25%.. Not to mention deregulation, lowering the corporate tax, and offering no taxes for repatriation. These are all HUGE windfall for the rich The reason they aren't supporting him is that they see him as a batshit crazy buffoon who will likely tank the entire world economy. Either through his rhetoric or his incompetence. I'm pretty sure the rich would prefer Bernie Sanders over Trump at this point.

Do you think Trump would have one if wikileaks were leaking all the internal emails from the RNC and Trump's campaign weeks before the election?

  4409.  @IIII......  Money is a social contract. It is nothing more than a piece of paper with with words and symbols printed on it that only has value because it is backed by a stable government. If god or Jesus thought that taxes were theft, it would have been spelled out in the bible because everyone paid taxes back then. Jesus said: "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God" There were numerous instances where Jesus spoke in favor of taxes and regularly paid them. Jesus also hated rich people and spoke out numerous times against the rich, and he often spoke about giving away money to help the poor, sick, and disenfranchised. You would be insane to think he would be against taxing rich people as a means of helping the poor. Fakers and posers use religion and ideology to justify their own greed and evil intent. But they usually have no idea what they are talking about.
    1
  4410.  @IIII......  "Caesar" was referring to the Government and it was specifically about whether it was right to pay taxes or not. Luke 20:20-25 Taxes are mentioned several times in the bible. You don't know what you're talking about. I already did provide the biblical text. You didn't bother to look it up to understand that they were specifically talking about taxes. Someone who said it is nearly impossible for rich people to get into heaven, clearly had disdain for rich people. Matthew 19:24 Again, you fundamentally don't know what you're talking about. You only want Jesus to like rich people because it fits your sick and twisted ideology that worships money and greed while people suffer. Even the pope came out to speak against the excesses of capitalism. People who worship money over the health and wellbeing of people are sick and depraved.
    1
  4411.  @IIII......  Again the quote was specifically referring to taxes and Caesar was the government. Caesar's face was printed on the actual coins. If you read that entire verse instead of ignoring it you would know that the quote was referring to TAXES However you're choosing to remain ignorant so that you can deliberately believe something untrue for your own personal benefit. Again taxes are mentioned several times in the bible. However you lied and somehow suggested that they had no taxes in biblical times. However that is completely untrue. Lastly, I didn't twist anything. I gave you direct quotes and I can provide even more quotes. You're choosing to ignore those quotes because you care more about worshiping money more than anything else. Your ideology is the one that is twisted.

  4413. TFV Son I don't know what video you're watching but the officer was never in front of the car, not once. An officer chasing guy next to the passenger door isn't the same as trying to run someone over. The cop fired when the car was next to him. Changing the facts and pretending that the cop was in some kind of danger when he never was is only an excuse to justify the shooting of a scared kid. It's amazing how people try to change facts to suit their worldview. You don't kill an unarmed guy for running away.
    1
  4414. TFV Son So you just admitted that the cop wasn't in any danger. You're basically saying that cops have the right to execute people when they feel like it. Sorry, but people like you who submit to authoritarianism are antithetical to liberty. You really don't belong in this country you belong in a dictatorship or an authoritarian regime. No, we don't kill or mow people down in the streets here just for disobeying a cop or just running. It's really sad that you've been brainwashed to think that way.
    1
  4415. TFV Son 1. Clearly you have no idea what socialism and communism are. 2. The cop never said "stop or I'll shoot". Stop making up shit. 3. Again, if you think that a cop can just kill anyone they want by simply saying "stop or I'll shoot". Then really you belong in a different country. I can guarantee you that Bernie or anyone who follows Bernie would NEVER give police that kind of authority, but clearly you have no problems with a police state and authoritarianism. Killing people is not something you do just because you're pissed that someone is trying to run away. This was a kid trying to buy pot, not an ax murderer. It's really sad that there are people out there like you who are brainwashed to believe that anyone with a badge has a right to kill citizens when they feel like it.

  4419. orlock20 --"In 2014, Business Insider had a poll and the liberal viewers picked the liberal stations I picked as their news source." So what?  If lots of people who call themselves "liberal" by a certain car does that make it a "liberal car"? Being informed doesn't somehow make the information coming from the station bias in any way. --"In 2013, the president of Disney had to defend itself from investors accusing ABC news of liberal bias." The president of the US had to defend himself from people and politicians accusing him of being born in Kenya and being a Muslim.  Does an accusation make it true?  No it does not. --"ABC reporters include Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel and George Stephanopoulos." Not sure what this is supposed to mean.  ABC also included John Stossel who is a self proclaimed libertarian pundit.  Who after being on ABC for 30 years and even went to Fox News a few years ago as a pundit.   -- "For this election cycle, NBC hired TargetSmart for polling data even though it was founded by two people that worked for the Democratic Party.  The Democratic Party also uses TargetSmart for its data." You can really tell how asinine the conversation is when "data" is now somehow supposed to be bias... Magazines, News outlets, blogs, and  political organisations whether they are democratic or republican use polling data from Gallop, Pew Research, Rasmussen, and a variety of sources.  They often use the same data....  It's data...  not punditry. None of these "guilt by association" arguments you're trying to make point to any real bias from these news outlets.   I can easily show how all of these media outlets completely ignored Bernie Sanders campaign until now meanwhile they followed GOP debates and Trumps every move.  I can even show where they took stories directly from Fox News. However all these claims about "liberal bias" from conservative politicians is just a way of making sure that the public ignores facts in favor of bullshit....  There is no bias in the mainstream media except when it comes to the establishment and corporate interests which is why you NEVER hear talk about TPP, income inequality, or campaign finance reform which is blasted on all the progressive media. You will hardly ever hear these topics on MSNBC either.

  4421. Your "Lets hate Hillary no matter what" viewers are disliking this video because you've whipped them up into such a frenzy over hating Hillary that many can no longer see facts.... You're confused? It's pretty obvious that this entire scandal was inflated for political purposes just like ALL THE OTHER SCANDALS RAN BY REPUBLICANS. You think this was any different? At most Hillary is guilty of having bad IT and I certainly wouldn't expect a grandma to be an expert on cyber security. The whole thing started because she wanted to use her Blackberry for meetings. That's it.... You don't throw a person in prison for having bad IT and doing exactly what other people in government have done. However the "hate Hillary cause she's not Bernie" crowd took the bait and fed into the nonsense. You guys talked yourselves into thinking there should be consequences even though not a SINGLE THING was ever leaked. This is the equivalent of being caught writing down your password on a sticky-note at work. Yeah you shouldn't do it, but no one is going to jail or even getting fired when it happens. This was the most blatant attempt to manipulate an election that I've ever seen. Second most blatant is the Wikileaks emails which were purposely held until October. But once you get your precious "leaked secrets" you get completely by leaks and never talk about the fact that people are actively trying to manipulate this election.

So I need to show their race doing something bad to feel good about myself".   That's not what we're talking about.

  4427. ***** You pretend as if I've never heard Jill Stein speak before. I have and I know her stances on many issues. All candidates must manage to get their message across no matter what the question is. Just look at the debates last night. Both Trump and Hillary managed to get their entire campaign messages in the first 2 minutes regardless of the question. Bernie Sanders was a master at doing that. However Jill has 13 minutes and the only message she got across was "the other parties are bad so vote for me" I've said it many times Jill Stein is an activist she's not a leader. She doesn't know how to wield power, she doesn't know how to use the bully pulpit.
    1
  4428. The Last And First Time Not sure why you're quoting things that I never said, that's what makes all of your comments really confusing.... Here I'll summarize: The fact is voting for Jill Stein does make it easier for Trump to win. That's just a fact. We don't have "proportional representation" in this country like they have in other countries. So it makes supporting a third party mathematically impossible. So it is an indisputable fact that voting for someone who is currently 2% in the polls is throwing your vote away and making it more likely that Trump could win. You cannot turn 2% into 50% in less than a month, sorry. No one cared about Nader or his ideas after the 2000 election. Whereas Bernie still has a following and influence in the party and he's putting himself in a place to push Hillary more to his position and he already has in a lot of ways. Also Jill Stein is an activist not a leader. I may agree with a lot of her points, but she doesn't have the first clue about getting anything she wants through congress and she has ZERO support in congress. If you don't have a president who knows how to wield power like FDR or LBJ then nothing will get done, ever. You can't just vote for the next "messiah" and think that they will magically change the world. That's not how it works, that is being naive. Agreeing with someone is one thing, but make no mistake if you vote in a way that insures total power for the other side then you are in fact voting against the polices that you want implemented. I didn't think a president could cause that much harm until I lived through the Bush years and Trump is far worse than that.

  4430. 08:45 Yup, been saying it for 3 months now. Trump doesn't know WTF he's doing. Your first clue should have been the fact that he didn't know what a ground game was. That wasn't a fluke. He basically just stumbled into the nomination not because of his competence but because everyone else on the stage was so weak.

  4437. Hillary Clinton is not "dumb" by any stretch. However to answer your question. How much money you make in life is strongly determined by how much money your family makes. This keeps people from rich families in top positions. Sort of like Trump and George W Bush. Despite their many business failures they got bailed out many times, went to the best schools, and generally had an upper hand in life.

  4441. The term "free market" is popular is because it is a term that is completely subjective and unscientific. You say government shouldn't dictate results, well that's exactly what any and all regulation does.... The results may be those things that you personally think are beneficial in a market, but it is still dictating results. The truth is as long as you have a "profit motive" and one based on an arbitrary representation of value and worth. Then you will ALWAYS have corruption. In fact the larger the market you have the larger the government you need to manage it. This is the reason why every government in the world has grown in lock step with new markets and expanding markets (healthcare, financial services, insurance, real-estate, energy, internet, mobile etc.) because it is a symbiotic relationship.

  4443. They're both right.... It was ALWAYS the plan to fight Hillary Clinton and start a movement to push progressive ideas. Bernie Sanders started something that wasn't going to magically go away if Hillary was elected. On the other hand it's much easier to be strong and tough if you have a clear opponent to fight against who has completely wrong ideas.

  4460. Herr Denker Well despite what you think we still sentence the wrong people people to death today. There is a reason why we are one of the few democracies in the world that still has a death penalty. There is a reason why Europe thinks we're neanderthals for still having a death penalty. Even going to the point of refusing to sell us the drugs we use to kill people. Sorry, but you're not saving anybody or making the world a better place with your "let's kill em" attitude. It's just a dumb as thinking more bombs fixes the war on terror or more imprisonment fixes the war on drugs, It may be satisfying to think that way, but it doesn't fix anything in the long run. There are scientific ways of approaching crime and aberrant behavior. That is always a better approach than your gut instinct.
    1
  4461. Herr Denker China is also has a lot of rural areas. Population density is a huge factor in violence and crime. Again, you can guess or you can look at actual studies which look into that issue and criminologists who spend their life studying crime.

  4463. 1:00 No Kyle... Wow, way to drop the ball. It's not about the percentage of taxes he paid it's about how much money he makes.... When Trump releases his tax returns it will be obvious that he doesn't make as much money as he claims he makes. That will be so devastating to Trump's ego and brand that he'll never be able to walk away from it. Why do you think he refuses to release them? Do you honestly think it's because he pays so little in taxes? Of course not. There is a bombshell in there that is so big that Trump is willing to risk the presidency not to reveal it.

  4466. Patrick Spenner Economic inequality.  The growing divide between the richest and the poorest.  Generally under capitalism societies must *decide* to create/support a middle class through various policies.  However the policies we have today promote extremes at both ends. So people in the *technology* and financial sectors are far more easily able to make billions from the markets largely due to productivity gains that came from technological progress, globalization, and free trade agreements (essentially farming out production to China/India) while the working class who historically have been in manufacturing sectors are being squeezed out.  That along with tax policies that further concentrates this wealth through lax capital gains policies. So as a capitalist (as in owning a company) Dr. Dre is benefiting from this system that is inherently skewed to making a small minority very very rich while leaving others very poor.  This wouldn't have been possible just a few decades ago.

  4467.  @Thoralmir  The reason they call it "scientific polling" is because they are mathematically able to forecast results in the greater population. Can bias be introduced in the polling methodology? Sure, but you're talking about a few percentage points at best and usually still falls within the margin of error. Sorry, but your gut feelings do not compare to the decades of scientific polling in this country and around the world/ Learn a little bit of science before spouting off nonsense.

  4468.  @twotwentyswift  Most adults understand that guns makes it easier to kill people and certain guns make it easier to kill more people at once. If you believe that missiles and nuclear weapons kill the same amount of people as punching someone in the face, then you have serious cognitive problems. There is a reason why countries control nukes, anthrax, ricin, etc. Contrary to your nonsensical beliefs, we don't control weapons of mass destruction and other life threatening things because they have minds of their own.
    1
  4469. S Christiansen Umm... yeah that’s the point. We regulate things that make it easier to kill more people. Whether it’s weapons, poison, cars, etc. Whether it’s accidental or intentional. I fail to see your argument anywhere.

  4470.  @schristiansen3151  You obviously fail at making an actual argument.

    1
  4472.  @schristiansen3151  I did. Somehow you think authoritarianism and genocide has to do with gun regulation, it doesn't. What were those people killed with? Knives? 😂 How about you look at studies comparing deaths and homicides among democratic nations with gun regulations today as opposed to dictatorships from 100 years ago? Guess what? A lot of people died by the Roman, Persian, and Mongolian Empires too when there weren't any guns. 😂 The fact is you can only make nonsense comparisons because you don't have an argument otherwise.
    1
  4473.  @twotwentyswift  Again.... Dictatorships and authoritarian regimes have nothing to do with gun regulations. Again,... You might as well blame gun regulations for the millions killed by Genghis Khan or the Roman Empire. Please find a new talking point that doesn't make you sound entirely dumb. Here's a secret...Gun regulations didn't create Nazis, nor were Germans "disarmed"... 😂 Based on your idiotic logic since Germany has STRICTER gun laws today than they did in the 1930's they should be committing genocide right now shouldn't they? Gee WHERE'S HITLER now? 🤔 😂 China has the strictest gun regulations in the world (as well as Japan) so where's MAO now? 🤣 Where's the Japanese Emperor killing millions? Here's a question... Which military kills more people in the world today? 🤔 Stop listening to childish arguments you picked up from a trash blog.
    1
  4474.  @twotwentyswift  1. Please describe any authoritarian regime or political uprising at any point in history that was started or motivated by gun regulations. 2. Please describe how Germany is killing millions of people today when their gun laws today are in fact more strict than they were in the 1930s? Do you understand what a non-sequitur is? Because that is the type of argument you're making. It's like claiming that machetes cause genocides simply because the Rwandan genocide involved lots of machetes. Which ironically is the same argument you pretend other people have about "guns causing people to kill people". Yet you seem to have no problems ACTUALLY BELIEVING that logic when it comes to gun regulations. As if Nazi's wouldn't have hated Jews if it weren't for those pesky gun regulations. 😂

  4475.  @twotwentyswift  It's funny how you think the world works in simplistic terms. That is EXACTLY how you people get tricked by trash ideology. You think to yourself "I understand that, so therefore the entire world must work like that" lol... 😂 Hate to break it to you, but real life isn't an effing disney cartoon. Let me break it down for you "simply".... In science, when you have a hypothesis, you need evidence to support a theory which needs to be repeatable to be considered truth. Show me how Germany, Japan, Australia, or any nation with more strict gun control today than they did in the past is more authoritarian and killing millions of people because of their gun control. Also explain to me why the US which has more guns per capita has more people in prison per capita and a military all over the globe killing people? People like you only want to philosophize simplistic ideas in their minds. You have zero desire or intellectual curiosity to actually prove your ideas. There comes a time to leave your childish bs behind and grow the hell up.

  4476. twotwentyswift Well thanks. No actuators for this particular project, although I am using a few for a different project in my house. The primary purpose of the camp trailer Is to consolidate my crap, having a cooking/wash station, and to provide power and a small hot/warm water shower for the rest of the folks who may be camping with me. As well as having enough power to work remotely for an extended time. So I have a mechanism to flip out additional panels, but nothing motorized in order to keep the weight low.
    1
  4477.  @twotwentyswift  In a few years I plan on something much larger, but I can only pull so much with my car so there's a specific reason I'm keeping things under a certain size and weight limit for now. 😅 All of my parts are already mapped out and ready to go, so adding anything else would be just adding another project to the dozens I already have. I just need time away from work to complete it and hopefully take off somewhere this summer. Interesting on the spool gun for aluminum though! Didn't realize there were MIG welders like that. That is definitely a thought I will cache for perhaps another time. There is a lot of aluminum involved, but I've managed to get by with just extruded t-slot. So it would be pretty easy to add actuators for something if I wanted to (such as for raising and lowering the panels). However power and motors can always fail. So if you're in the middle of nowhere It's often better to not rely on it unless you have a backup, and for something this small it's not needed.

  4478.  @twotwentyswift  I understand completely... My plan was actually to keep it simple for now and then within the next 5 years invest in an off-road all electric. So I totally understand about height. I'm fairly tall so I quickly realized that was going to be an issue. With my current setup I'm cooking on the outside anyway so it doesn't matter. However I spent a good amount of time looking at the pop tops models from Sportsmobile (which have that scissor jack that you're talking about,), high top 4x4 mercedes sprinter conversions, etc. I think in a few years there will be more options for what I'm looking for. If not I might just bastardize a used cybertruck as a chassis and basically do exactly what you did.

  4479.  @twotwentyswift  Yeah there's definitely a trade off with how far off the beaten path you want to go and comfort. Although those expedition vehicles are certainly a whole other category altogether. 😅 I was about to go PEX, but then I realized that with such a small area I really wasn't going to run enough lines to get any benefit from it. All the plumbing is basically in the same spot. Thanks and good luck to you too!

  4483. On one hand doing sanctions could escalate tensions needlessly, on the other hand doing nothing makes us look like a bitch. One could argue that doing sanctions and removing their spies gives us leverage we may need for other negotiations with Russia (Especially if we're trying to negotiate a safe zone in Syria). I can't pretend to know the nuances of the current US/Russia relationship. However these are kind of decisions that you trust a president to make because they are privy to a lot of information that you aren't. Playing armchair general and pretending that you know how things will escalate is kind of pointless for things like this when in reality you have no idea what's going on.

  4485. Do you honestly think military these days is based on hand to hand combat? This isn't Game of Thrones....
    1
  4486. Again as stated in the video only 7% of military ever participates in "combat". Furthermore that "combat" uses a lot of high tech weaponry such as machine guns ,tanks, mortars, planes, helicopters, etc. Rather than anything require strength and endurance. Anyone who pretends that a tiny percentage of a tiny percentage is the requirement of the entire military is not making a real argument. The idea that the entire military is the same as "Saving Private Ryan" or a Hollywood war movie is pretty absurd. When you get a job at a company are you expected to also be able to do every job at that company or just the one that you're qualified for? Should you have the ability and skills to be CEO even if you were hired as a janitor? So why would you expect people to do every job at the military? Furthermore I've had female friends carry like 25 pounds hiking the Appalachian trail for far more than just 5 miles. These are small women too who weren't even in the best shape.
    1
  4487. bandholm Again, as percentage of all jobs in the military you're describing a tiny percentage of a tiny percentage. Is a person expected to be able to do every single job at the company they work for or just those that they are qualified for? Not even every male is capable of doing every single job in the military whether it's marines, Navy Seals, special forces, etc. So it's a pretty absurd argument to make.
    1
  4488. bandholm 1. You specifically cited those jobs which make up a minor part of military functions as if they were relevant. Which implies that everyone must do those jobs. 2. Technology makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE in making strength unimportant! Obviously swinging a broadsword is not the same as firing an assault rifle or piloting a drone. Everyone knows the impact of technological advances in military over the centuries. The military today is much more about pressing buttons and triggers than anything else.
    1
  4489. bandholm 1. Again, the jobs you describe are a tiny percentage of the overall military. Pretending otherwise doesn't help your argument. Having divisions of troops that are divided up by capability is something that the military has always done. If a woman can't pass the qualifications to be in those groups then she won't be there. If she's more suited to be in a non-combat role (which is most of the military) then she will be there. No different than any other workplace. 2. lol... Swords weighed much more than that. Try 10 times more in some cases. It's pretty laughable that you're quibbling over the weight of an average purse which is about 6.27 pounds (According to a study a few years ago) You're not swinging a rifle... you're shooting it and many women all across the country have their own assault rifles. Women all around the world serve in the military and in combat roles. Many countries even have compulsory service for woman. So this isn't something new. The only reason why you think it's not possible is because of backwards thinking, plain and simply. Having an extra gun on the battlefield is not somehow a bad thing.

Hillary's campaign may stumble here and there, but overall they know exactly what they are doing and they know exactly how to pick apart Trump until there is nothing left. Trump may be exciting to some people, but turtle wins the race man....

  4491. +Little Lion Tablets for drawing have been around long before 2007 it was always called a stylus.. No different than what has been on windows tablets for years. Pretending this is somehow different is pretty sad IMO.
    1
  4492. ***** Not everyone needs a stylus, but a lot of people would like one and the fact that there was a huge iPad/iPhone capacitive stylus aftermarket and the fact that the galaxy note was a huge success means that Steve Jobs was completely wrong on that point...   He was wrong about a lot of things, including large display phones.  I really don't see a need to try and justify everything he said as if it were infallible. He was wrong, plain and simple.  If Apple offered a stylus option for the iPad a long time ago it would have sold, but the reason why they didn't before was because Steve Jobs was against them.   It's not like this technology to do so is new, they could have done it long ago. Furthermore if the iPad pro was a niche product for artists and designers then it would come with the stylus included, not as a separate purchase.  Quite frankly I don't know who the target is for for this big tablet. Especially when it would require a mac in most cases to compete their work.  Unless they were just an amateur designer/artist.  Whereas they could do everything on a surface pro.
    1
  4493. ***** Tragically uninformed then....  You would think you would look at the stylus used by the Surface Pro (Which the iPad Pro is copying) that's been around for 3 years.  Styluses have been primarily used for drawing and note taking for like a really long time.

    1
  4502. Pallas AnitaSarkeesian I don't disagree with anything you said.  However there is a big difference between looking at things anecdotally vs. statistically.  Family is a big factor in a persons party affiliation at the same time some of the biggest progressives I know come from conservative families.  Also it's important to note why geography plays a part and why densely populated cities and coastal regions tend to lean progressive/democratic.  Is it because people in these areas are forced to deal with diversity and community issues more so than people in rural areas?  Is it because information travels quicker among people in cities than it does in rural areas?  Personally I think the internet will gradually lean the country towards progressive ideas in the next generation, because it breaks down those geographical barriers and broadens a persons sense of community and exposure to ideas and facts.

  4504. If you're a manager then more than likely you would checking up on things after hours anyway. Honestly people rarely if ever get fired for not working late or not answering an email after hours. It's just that people constantly feel obligated to do so. I used to work at a large company processing financial transaction 24 hours a day. Trust me there was A LOT of pressure to fix issues after work hours especially when it could mean losses for the company if a problem wasn't fixed right away. However no one got fired not being around or not answering their phone when they weren't supposed to be on call. Sometimes you get ahead when you don't actually care about getting fired and not constantly dancing for people.

  4505. Never said it did, but there are studies that show that being a "work martyr" does not make you more likely to get promoted.
    1
  4506. I've lived quite a lot, so you shouldn't make assumptions about people you don't know shit about. A "work martyr" is an actual term, I didn't make it up to just label or insult people. My point is people need to manage their work/life balance and not feel obligated to check emails during the off hours when they don't really want to. I've never seen any case where someone got ahead by doing so or got fired for not doing so. Most of the time it's in the person's head. If someone constantly answers emails after hours then a manager will take advantage of that and harass them after hours. If they don't then a manager will just find other options. However I've seen people waste years even decades of their life working themselves to death just to remain a worker bee. It's just not worth it. People need to take care of themselves, their health, and their family. Life's too short to constantly feel guilty about taking time away from a job.

  4508. The people who think this is homophobic are just as dumb as those who believe someone just mentioning race is racist. Like Brett said at the end, it would be the same damn joke if Trump or Putin was a woman. The joke isn't "being gay is bad" the joke is about Trump being up Putin's ass. It's a sad thing when people are so full of themselves with political correctness that they can't recognize actual hate vs nothing at all.

  4511. You can get meat from sustainable sources and some plants actually have a higher carbon foot print than animals.   I like the conversation about sustainability and health, but I don't like the junk science around making generic statements around a  "plant base diet".  Let's not forget that sugar and white flour are "plant based" and there are plenty of essential nutrients that come from animal sources.
    1
  4512.  @sandray7609  I don't know what study you're referring to, but most of the ones I've seen almost always focus on non-grass fed beef and dairy. They hardly every look at other meat sources like rabbits that are highly sustainable and have a low carbon footprint. The US has about as many cows as there used to be buffalos roaming wild on this land. The major change was industrialization, fossil fuels, and lack of sustainability which goes all the way up the food chain. Lettuce consumes A LOT of fossil fuels just to produce. So to talk about emissions in an unsustainable process is like putting a smaller hole in a sinking boat.
    1
  4513.  @sandray7609  Animals that we eat don't eat the same plants that we eat at least not naturally. All the land and grass that cows would use naturally can offset their carbon footprint, it can actually offset the carbon of the entire farm. Again, it's not like this country wasn't full of millions of large animals that produced methane in the past. It also has numerous other benefits for soil health. It would be more expensive and burgers would no longer be cheap, but it would far better for the planet, our health, and the cows if they were raised in an actual sustainable manner. A lot of meats aren't "conventional" (insects, deer, many other small animals, etc.). However we've created entire industries around specific kinds of animals and plants since those industries are profitable. Even when we go to plant based foods they largely try to mimic meats (burgers, turkey, bacon, etc.) that we're already accustomed to. Instead of adapting our diets to a natural ecosystem we decided to industrialize everything to suit what we wanted instead. Many Native American societies learned how to coexist with the environment, we haven't. Keep in mind that you cannot grow most plants that we eat without animals, there is a balance there. The only reason we can is because we rely on fossil fuels in the form of petrochemicals for fertilizers and pesticides to replace what would happen naturally.

  4514. The profit motive, which is the driving force of the market, is what causes big corporations. It also causes those big corporations to buy governments. It also makes politicians more susceptible to he bought. Unless you regulate the profit motive and provide balance through government intervention you inevitably get more corruption. The problem today is that our government is too corrupted to be an effective balance and until you get money out of politics you will not get real change.

  4515. Honestly it's no different than what she was saying in the primaries. So I'm not sure what you're shocked and outraged about. NEWS FLASH: She isn't as far to the left as Bernie.

  4518. genie0390 1. They didn't write any law they merely said laws banning same sex marriages were unconstitutional. Essentially they ban personal liberty which goes against the very principles of the constitution. 2. So should the other judges be banned for performing heterosexual marriages? Your comment makes no sense. You might as well say "only bigots should be allowed to decide things" 3. Clerks who refuse to issue licenses are bigots in the same way stores refused service to black people under Jim Crow were bigots. There is absolutely nothing in the bible that says you cannot issue a marriage license. Just like there is nothing that says you cannot serve shrimp if you're a waitress or launder clothing of "two different cloth" if you're a dry cleaner. These are all really silly excuses to justify bigotry.

  4526. Polydynamix Your description is more than enough to have me concerned if I were in office... I don't know what kind of additive would "prevent" someone from snorting a powder.  Also "saturation point" of what exactly?  You would be talking about the saturation point of an additive not alcohol and even if it settled at the bottom it wouldn't prevent you from consuming it.  Especially if you were just dumping it in a cup and chugging.   Also not that drinking is the most healthiest thing anyway, but I would be concerned over the interaction and long term use of powdered alcohol and all of these additives.... I'm just saying that there is s lot here to be concerned about without it being some vast corporate alcohol conspiracy.

  4527. The US is not 50 countries in one *. The US is *NOT like the Caribbean islands. We don't have vast spans of oceans disconnecting the states with separate people, language, culture, and infrastructure. No state could survive on it's own as the federal government handles half or more of government functions. The entire purpose of Congress is to represent state and local interests in the federal government. However the president is supposed to represent ALL the people. The electoral college was simply created out of politics in order to get buy in from the states at the time. it has no other purpose other than to subvert the democratic process by a handful of elites. A persons vote should not be worth more based on where they are located. Yet the electoral college is precisely the reason why we have the bullshit with "swing states" every 4 years.
    1
  4528. cyber6sapien Ummm. no. A person's vote isn't "worth more" just because there are more people living there. It's basic math. Look people.... states are not living beings You've been brainwashed into thinking that a state means something, it doesn't when it comes to selecting a president. PEOPLE matter that's what democracy is all about. The president is out there representing all the people. He isn't representing California or Wyoming. There is nothing location specific about the president's role when representing the US.
    1
  4529. pingpong wigwom 1. Ummm.... No.. California is the largest economy in the US and when compared globally it is the 6th largest economy in the world.... Pretty much all the technology you use every day kind of originated there (Apple, Google, YouTube, Facebook, etc.). California is also one of the states least dependent on any federal funds (Unlike Mississippi, Louisiana, etc) . Not to mention having the movie industry and producing a lot of the food we eat. So despite the bullshit you might hear from Conservative outlets the reality is that the rest of the states are more dependent on California than the other way around. 2. The states only matter because of the rules of electoral college. However the point is that they shouldn't matter, because they play almost no part in the role of the presidency.
    1
  4530. pingpong wigwom The US was also mismanaged in during the Bush administration, but just because the economy collapsed in 2008 and remained bad for years doesn't mean the US is a failed state. California has plenty enough resources to recover from mismanagement. Other states that just aren't well off economically (Like Missippi which has the lowest per capita income of all the states compared to California which has one of the highest) can't be fixed by a simple change in management.

  4534. Sorry Kyle, I'm sick and tired of this false equivalence... You cannot equate foreign nationals giving to a charity which has an A rating by independent charity monitoring organizations, where it is documented that the vast majority of the money goes directly to actual causes and helping millions of people around the world, to foreign nationals GIVING DIRECTLY TO SOMEONES CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. One is a donation for charity, the other directly influences whether that person will have the most powerful job in the world or not. One requires a couple "Alex Jones" like mental hurdles to imagine how people might be getting influence by giving to a non-profit charity that isn't even run by the Clintons. The other is someone DIRECTLY ASKING FOR INFLUENCE.... Christ people, I know there is a lot of "Hillary hate" out there, but if you think these two things are somehow "the same" then you have a fucking mental disorder.

  4537. Girish Seshan We actually have no idea if they got "pay to play", it's just repeated over and over as if it were fact.

  4538. Girish Seshan It's also silly to think that donations to a non-profit (whose money goes to charities and grants, not to the Clintons) is somehow enough to change US policy and sell weapons to countries.
    1
  4539. Girish Seshan Again, people are creating a narrative based on nothing. Yes she changed her positions based on CAMPAIGN DONATIONS in the past and that is documented, but it doesn't mean that donations to a charity have the same effect. It's all based on mindless speculation. The State department doesn't have the authority to make "weapons deals" on their own. The US has always been making such deals with Saudi Arabia. It's an absurd to think that Clinton could unilaterally make a decision like that. Those deals involve the president, Joint Chiefs, and many other departments. However people make up the narrative based on a general hatred towards Hillary and what they want to believe
    1
  4540. Ken Hudson Again, the state department works with many different agencies because they facilitate communication and interaction with foreign nations as well as expertise in dealing with those nations. So yes that means the CIA, FBI, Military, Treasury Dept, Department of Energy etc. and of course various agencies from foreign countries will work with the State Department to get things done internationally. So yes if the president wanted to negotiate a deal with another country (or any other agency) they would be going through the state department to work that out. This is kind of a bad analogy but It's like saying that your wireless provider is involved with all your friends because they provide cellphone plan and a communication network. However it's not like AT&T decided to break up with your girlfriend. The State Department would be privy to A LOT of things going on in the world just because they are situated in the middle of it, but they don't have an agenda other than what the president tells them to do. I would imagine that the CIA works with the State Department a lot, but I also imagine that the CIA circumvents the State Department a lot in order to keep things secret from them.
    1
  4541. Ll G Again, the State Department doesn't make "weapons deals" and it's not even part of the military so obviously it doesn't give out "military contracts" on it's own. Lol, anyone who thinks that has absolutely no clue how the state department works. The US has been up the Saudis ASS and selling them weapons for decades, yet when we do the exact same thing when Clinton is secretary of state suddenly it's all because of the Clinton Foundation and the state department unilaterally stole weapons from the military and gave them to other countries WITHOUT any involvement from the president, joint chiefs, etc. Sorry, but that is just absurd. Yes meetings were made and Yes rich people tend to get access to government officials far more often than they should. Whether it's officially, at parties, or in private meetings. However there is no direct linkage between donations to a charity and Clinton doing something out of the ordinary with the State Department based on donations to that charity. Furthermore Clinton Foundation money doesn't even go to the Clinton's. It's a non-profit not a business..
    1
  4542. Ken Hudson None of those are even close to being definitive or factual of anything. Again, the US has been selling weapons to the Saudi's for decades yet suddenly now it's has all to do with the Clinton Foundation and nothing to do with oil interests or OPEC? Please... People believing that the State Department can sell weapons without the involvement of the military and the president is rather dumb. Larry Lessig was running against Clinton so obviously he had a case to make. Of course conservative blogs have been accusing the Clintons of everything from murder to espionage for decades. You're not sharing facts only propaganda.

You are not there for your "protection" you are there to protect and serve.

  4547. What exactly is "Criticizing Islam"?.... Islam is not a person nor is it a monolithic government. People aren't going into the Koran and saying "Hey these passages are bad and should be ignored". No, most people's definition of "criticizing Islam" is "guilt by association". Implicit in that statement is the idea that every Muslim follows the exact same doctrine in the exact same way which is obviously not the case. It's really no different than saying "I'm just criticizing Jews or Judaism" when talking about Israel. You wouldn't do that so why is it okay to do that when it comes to Islam?

It is the whole reason why we have a "middle class". But sure keep getting brainwashed by the propaganda that tells you that rich people getting more money somehow helps you. Trickle Down economics and deregulating the financial markets worked out really well right?

  4551. At this point the polls mean nothing until the debates start... What do you expect when Hillary has been in the news over an FBI investigation for the past couple weeks?

The landscape is going to be totally different when the debates start and Hillary has a well oiled machine behind her while Trump has a mess.

  4553. I'm not sure what Thom was supposed to say. The fact is pretty much all the allegations with the Clinton Foundation are at most circumstantial at best. There is no direct question that Thom could have asked to satisfy the general suspicions that people have which are almost entirely baseless. I'm not sure what else his guest could have said other than "we're a non-profit that gives money to various causes and initiatives". Either way it's not going to satisfy the thirst for conspiracy and hatefulness that people have for Hillary. I've been a Bernie supporter for many years and I've never cared for Hillary, but the irrational hatred people have for her is like nothing I've ever seen

  4554. Her parents are fucked up creationists and her brother is being accused of sexual assaulting a minor. So I would call her the least crazy from that family. I call certain friends of mine my "brother" or "sister", sometimes you need to choose your family rather than being stuck with the one you're with. She came from a family that adopted all kinds of kids and she took custody of one of her own brothers from her family so from her perspective who you call "family" is a bit more fluid...

  4563. Lorrie Sigley Not saying that she did much but she did help with taking down Bin Ladin and bringing Iran to the table for a nuclear deal. Clinton is basically an continuation of Obama's policies. Whereas Trump has advocated for fascist/nationalist policies such as banning all Muslims, deporting all immigrants, expanding the drone program to target the families of suspected terrorists, advocating that we should bring back torture, and he has absolutely no tact when dealing with foreign relations. He's already hated around the world by the people and leaders of other countries. He can't even let the smallest thing go in his campaign, so I cannot trust a guy like that with nukes and our military. So in my mind there is no question that she would be better than Trump. The main reason people like trump is that sine he hasn't had a political career they can easily fool themselves into thinking that he's something that he's not. It doesn't change the fact that he's a maniac, a serial liar, a birther, a racist, misogynistic, and cheats people any chance he gets.
    1
  4564. Lorrie Sigley Clearly you've been listening to lots of anti-Hillary stuff for months now. Half of what you're talking about has already been disproven. Anything that remains is nowhere near as bad as having a policy which targets families (women & children), banning an entire group based on their religion/ethnicity, promoting white nationalism, questioning 1st amendment protections for journalists, as well as bringing back torture. If you think it is somehow as bad, then I'm sorry you've been drinking the "Hate Hillary Koolaid" for way to long now. She's got lots of problems but she's not the next Mussolini.

  4571. Joshua Pongraz It's not out of place ,it's perfectly apropos when you don't bother to use two brain cells to actually think through an issue.  AGAIN... all trans people do not look like the thumbnail you have here as an example to purely make fun of people.  If a MAN (with a beard, chest hair, and everything) walks into a women's bathroom what the fuck do you think is going to happen?....  Do you think those women are going to going to believe him that he was born a female?  If a WOMAN (who looks exactly like a woman) walks into a bathroom regardless of whether that woman was born a man do you think that woman will be safe walking into men's bathrooms?  Or maybe those men might think it's a woman "asking for it". The simplistic solution is to let people use the bathroom they are comfortable in and stop conflating perverts with gender identity when they have NOTHING to do with each other. We already have laws against peeping toms and perverts.  Stop using perverts as an excuse to hate on trans people and try opening your perspective.
    1
  4572. *****  Protecting against "perverts" isn't a legitimate argument because we already have laws protecting people against that behavior. Consider for a moment that there are far more gay people than there are trans people.  Does being gay in a public restroom somehow give you the right to spy on the stall next to you and start jerking off? Does being gay give you the right to take pictures of people peeing or pooing?  Of course it doesn't which is why it is a ridiculous argument.   It is just an argument designed to de-legitimize a minority group by associating them to perverts.  I know that is not your intent here, but that is certainly the source of the argument.

  4573. Simon Pale According to the OECD website: "Growth has slowed, and is projected to be 1¾ per cent in 2016. Uncertainty about the outcome of the end-June 2016 referendum, which could lead to an exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit), has undermined growth. This projection assumes that the United Kingdom remains in the European Union, in which case growth is projected to pick up in the second half of 2016 and then stabilise in 2017. The unemployment rate has fallen to around 5%. The current account deficit has reached 7% of GDP, the highest level on record, increasing vulnerabilities." In other words their projections are based on the UK staying in the EU and even with that assumption the numbers they show are tepid at best and declining at worst. Furthermore they say that if the UK continues with Brexit they show GDP growth lowering by .5% in 2017 and 2018 and 1.5% by 2019 So again, what are you basing this on? Happy thoughts and jingoism doesn't magically make an economy better.
    1
  4574. Simon Pale I actually haven't been able to verify any of your claims. The outlook is still negative for 2017 and years to come. You have yet to come up with anything factual that indicates Brexit is a positive. Believing in "better deals to come" is not anything factual amongst the enormous negatives that are currently taking place. So I'm not sure what you're basing anything this on. It doesn't seem like you're basing it on anything other than patriotism.
    1
  4575. Jaxaa No actually I'm basing it on what's happened this past year, what's happening now, and what's projected to happen in the future. This isn't rocket science or anything.
    1
  4576. Simon Pale Look, clearly you're using a lot of emotion to get your point across. I'm not putting you down or your country down. I'm simply stating the facts. We live in a completely different economic world than the past. So I would base your views on the realities of today rather than the glory days of old.
    1
  4577. Simon Pale The OECD findings that you just referenced.... Which in fact do not support a positive outlook for the UK that you claimed, only a downgrade. Not to mention similar findings by the IMF and other agencies. This whole thread started with my question on what you were basing your assertions on and whether it was something other than "happy thoughts" and so far you haven't done that. Just because you have an economic qualification doesn't change the fact that most of your arguments here have been based on patriotism rather than any science or data. You have to acknowledge the realities of this year, the next year, and the following year. Which do not look great. Things may improve in the future, but that is more of an unknown whereas the bleak outlook over the next 3 years is pretty much a certainty.
    1
  4578. Simon Pale I must say that I really appreciate the graciousness of your comment. I'd say that although there is no indication that things will continue to be dire in the long term, there is also not yet that glimmer of hope that things will improve according to the pre-brexit outlook, let alone improve more than if the UK stayed in the EU. Which is what a lot of people who voted for Brexit hoped for. That somehow the EU was holding Britain back in some way and by voting to leave there would be even greater economic prosperity. I think it will be a long time before that prosperity to happen (if it happens), but in the short term there is a lot of uncertainty. Which is causing small time businesses like my friend's to lose income and think about moving out. Lots of large companies that were using the UK as a window into the EU are also thinking about moving out. No international business would ever consider spending millions to move or expand in the UK until things with Brexit are long settled. Germany and other countries will of course step in to fill parts of that vacuum and who knows exactly how much of that vacuum will be filled, but in either case it means 2, 3, perhaps 5 years of missed economic opportunity (of businesses that would have moved in or expanded) which will have even more economic impacts down the road.

  4579. Cenk, the fact that you're having a conversation about his arrest and questioning why he was released means that he made the exact point he was trying to make...

  4580. lol... Ana's a little bias when it comes to HER format. As if asking a question to make their point and a personal question is soooo revolutionary. I'm sure Larry King NEVER thought of doing anything like that...

  4581. You know the US has been making these deals with bad people LONG before Clinton became secretary of state and LONG before there was a Clinton Foundation. When has the US not approved a weapons deal to the Saudis? And do you think that Clinton is somehow the only one making that decision and Obama, the Joint Chiefs, etc. are clueless about it? Of course not. Not saying that there isn't favoritism in government, there is obviously. However to suggest that its all "pay to play" and all "quid pro quo" whenever a CEO or head of state gives to charity is kind of nonsense. It's not like money to the Clinton foundation goes directly into the pocket of the Clintons. Does it get certain people noticed and perhaps a meeting? Sure, but to pretend it is the same argument as with the Koch brothers directly funding the campaigns of politicians and directly effecting their jobs by threatening to fund their opponent is fucking ABSURD.... You're trying to make your self sound fair and objective, but you're drawing a false equivalence here. You can make some sound reasonable arguments with the Wall St speeches and the changes that she made on healthcare policy as a Senator after getting backing from insurance companies. However these are borderline Alex Jones like associations.

  4582. Beeftender Nice straw man there.
    1
  4583. Beeftender I don't either, but my point is that it is silly to think that this has anything to do with Clinton personally making a deal to pay someone back when it clearly has been part of US policy with Saudi Arabia for decades. Yes we need to stop these kinds of relationships that we have with oppressive regimes, but to cherry pick one or two and claim that those specific ones have nothing to do with US policy and everything to do with a donation to a charity is rather absurd.

  4584. So everyone in the government is responsible for what the NSA does? I guess that means that Al Qaeda & ISIS are correct in thinking that all Americans and all Europeans are responsible for bombings in the middle-east then right?
    1
  4585. LabTech So his proximity to people who pushed for those policies somehow makes him responsible. Yeah that's much more rational. I'm being sarcastic.
    1
  4586. LabTech Like I said, your argument is irrational. He wasn't responsible for policy, lawmaking, or the NSA. Again, it's the same argument that someone from ISIS would make who would hold all Americans responsible for bombings because they shouldn't have voted those people into power and they should have stopped it from happening.

  4590. Cenk.... We shouldn't just make up charges just because we think ISIS is scary. Boarding a plane to Germany isn't illegal. It's really disturbing that we think our criminal justice system is some how a cure all to problems when the exact opposite is true. Maybe all these kids need is some attention and a good talking to.... We really need to stop throwing kids in jail for stupid shit.

  4592. ***** The same goes for Muslims that don't follow fascist ideology, are highly educated and have never committed a crime.
    1
  4593. ***** Yeah just like all Christians and jews who follow a god that kills all sinners or kills people who don't follow him. So I guess all christian and jewish must all be the same right? Only a bigot makes blanket statements like that and assumes that he knows how all XYZ people think. Maybe you should try talking to actual Muslims instead of pretending that you know how they all think.
    1
  4594. ***** It's would be like thinking that just because founding fathers of the US constitution owned slaves that all US citizens believe in slavery or the genocide of native Americans. You can believe in someone's message without believing in everything that they did.
    1
  4595. ***** No they're considered infallible vessels of the governing laws of this country. Which is arguably worse than an individual's personal religious choices.
    1
  4596. ***** Are you somehow saying that every country with a majority Muslim population has today and historically always been a fascist regime? There are very easy ways of testing your ideas and I'm afraid they don't hold any merit.
    1
  4597. ***** That's like saying: "can you name me a Christian country that doesn't practice biblical law"
    1
  4598. ***** It depends on what do you consider a "noticeable amount".... There are some states that still have blasphemy laws on the books, sodomy was illegal in many states for a very long time, people used biblical justification for slavery, Jim crow, and making interracial marriage illegal, the ten commandments are displayed at many of our courthouses, people are required to swear on a bible in court, public officials are sworn into office on a bible, God is even on our money, and we speak of God in our pledge of allegiance. On many occasions Christians in the military have dropped religious pamphlets in Muslim countries. Not to mention our politicians constantly running on religion, wanting to ban gay marriage, keep gays out of the miltary, etc. Not only that it was Christian politicians from the US that were behind a Christian revolution in Uganda where it is now illegal to be gay. It is now a crime that is punishable by imprisonment or death. Living in the US this all looks very benign but from the outside looking in it doesn't look very good. Uh.. yeah there are many predominately Muslim countries who have lots of non-Muslims living there. Why on earth would you think there wouldn't be? There are even thousands of Jews that live in Iran.
    1
  4599. ***** So you're comment proves two things. 1. Christians, like all religious people, can use religion to discriminate as well as help. Such as Christians who used the bible to pretend that black people had the "mark of cain" and since there were slaves in the bible then owning slaves are okay. Versus the Christians who were abolitionists. 2. Location, socioeconomics, and education are more important than religion. So you can have a modern, educated, and rich country like the US rely more on democracy and openess. Whereas you can have the poorer and less educated countries in Africa rely more on superstition and fear. I brought up Iran as an extreme example, but you must know that life in Iran was very different before the revolution in 1979 and the CIA's meddling in Iran's politics.... http://all-that-is-interesting.com/shah-iran But obviously I could have brought up many other countries like Tunisia, Turkey, Indonesia, Morroco, Bahrain, Qatar, etc. There are many other predominantly Muslim countries in the world besides the ones that you hear about in the news every day that are in constant conflict. Yeah all christian majority countries don't all have draconian laws because they are mostly all rich stable countries... duh... When Ireland was in constant conflict you had extreme christian groups. So.... why would it be surprising to see extremist coming out of the countries in the middle-east that have been in constant war and conflict (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.)? In the US after the civil war we had the KKK which was a christian group who killed thousands of blacks and jews. If you look at it as a socio-economic problem it makes sense. If you look at it as a defect with particular religion then suddenly you have to cherry pick and make logical leaps in order to preserve your bigotry of one religion.
    1
  4600. ***** Clearly you didn't read my comment because I already addressed that. Again, I suggest you talk to actual Muslims and specifically those that speak out against the fringe elements instead of just pretending that you know every interpretation if the Koran that Muslims follow. It's pretty easy to be just as ignorant and create bigoted conclusions based on Christianity Judaism if you limit your exposure to just the people who do bad things or have bad interpretations. It's just as dumb as those people who are antisemitic against all Jews because of anecdotes , Israeli policies, and confirmation bias. If you want to believe a generalization you're going to look for everything that confirms that generalization and ignore things that don't.
    1
  4601. ***** It's cute that you didn't read the comment where I gave you 6.
    1
  4602. There is NO issue today that is worse than slavery. Even implying that immediately makes you a moron. The fact that Ben Carson would rather be whipped and shackled, have his wife and daughters raped, have absolutely NO chance of getting an education let alone become a "doctor", have absolute no freedom or dignity as a human being, instead of paying some extra taxes for healthcare subsidies. Makes him a moron.

  4603. Let's keep it real... People automatically think all BLM people are violent because they're black. So of course they they will automatically assume that any shooter, hateful tweet, etc. is related to BLM. It's pretty sad and it's exactly the type of racism that BLM is trying to fight against.

  4604. Leopold Crayons I can tell by your nuanced and indepth response that you actually don't understand shit. Like everyone else you're just blindly jumping on a bandwagon.
    1
  4605. Leopold Crayons Again, the whole "scandal" was her IT team setting up a private server so that she could use her blackberry in meetings. Again. Hillary Clinton is not a cyber security export. All servers are attacked. Every PC attached to the internet is attacked, so what? Again, not a single thing was ever leaked from her server.... You don't go to jail for simply having "bad IT". Anyone who thinks that you should has been completely sucked in by mass hysteria over another fake scandal. Or as you perfectly demonstrated, people use the scandal as a basis to make up bullshit conspiracies about what she could be doing. Which have absolutely not facts or substance behind it. Just shit people feel like making up. What's hilarious is that the same people who think that Hillary should go to jail for having a server that wasn't as secure as it should be. Are the same people who think that Wikileaks is the greatest thing in the world for leaking classified information. Hypocrisy at it's finest! And yes at one time Wikileaks was pretty great since it was whistle-blowing actual atrocities, now they are leaking things to embarrass people and to manipulate not only US elections but elections in other countries. No one seems to care that a bunch of foreign nationals have this power and are using it for personal grudges. Instead the press blindly reports on everything because they're like "oh goody, we've got secrets! Who needs journalism when we can get easy ratings!" What Comey said is that there was nothing to prosecute, period. Everything else was needless embellishment for political purposes. There is a difference between embezzling money from a company and making a mistake which loses that company money. In this case it's like prosecuting a person that did something which possibly could have lost the company money, but didn't.
    1
  4606. Leopold Crayons She was head of the state department.... So who was she supposed to be getting approval from? Again, never said that she shouldn't have used the server. People also shouldn't write down their passwords, but they do. I'm just saying that there is absolutely no reason for her to be prosecuted let alone be in prison for it. You've been brainwashed into believing that being less than careful with confidential information somehow warrants being put in prison. If that were a crime then half the people in government would be guilty. We've had people purposely leak classified information and not face any consequences. Yet somehow when it comes to Hillary she should be put in jail because some IT staff set up an insecure server. Sorry, but the whole idea is absurd. Can you name anyone who was ever put in jail for such a thing in the US? Of course you can't, I see how lazy your thinking is. You resort to mindless insults to cover your tracks. No I've been a Bernie Sanders supporter for YEARS long before people even knew who the fuck the guy was. I've given well over a thousand to Sander's campaign. Ron Paul was the first candidate I ever gave money to, mainly because I wanted someone more principled with an anti-war stance on the Republican side. So I've never cared about parties, only policies. So many people jumped on Bernie's bandwagon because he has had superior judgement for DECADES, yet as soon as he says that the best way forward is to support Clinton then everyone says "fuck your judgement". People are so caught up with mindless hysteria over fake scandals and focusing on the 2 or 3 things that she's different from Bernie on. That they completely ignore dozens of other policies. I was against the Iraq war when most of this country was for it. I was for Sanders and single payer, drug legalization, campaign finance reform, free college, etc. before most even heard of those issues.

  4610. No... Trump is no different than Sarah Palin. At most he may catch Clinton off guard in the first debate, but there's just no way that he will be able to sustain anything. I've been saying it for months... Trump's campaign doesn't know WTF it's doing. They are nothing compared to the Clinton machine. Trump is pretty much a walking "zinger". There is too much in his past/present that and by this point Clinton has it all and it will come out.... Look for lots of leaks on Trump sex scandels in the coming weeks. Ingram? Ailes? These are the same people who thought Romney would win easily. They are completely out of touch

  4618. +Xenite227 Are you seriously this delusional? How could you say that Trump isn't versed in broken, backdoor politics when he's tried to buy many politicians over the years to help his businesses? You know that the Clintons went to his wedding right?
    1
  4619. diapersFTMFW11 No actually there isn't...  I think it's pretty sad that you think there is a big difference between those bribing vs those taking the bribes.  The person corrupting the government with his money isn't someone who is looking after your interests only his own by whatever means necessary.  That's like saying that a drug dealer is more innocent in criminal activity than a drug user.
    1
  4620. diapersFTMFW11 All corruption comes from the private sector.  If you don't understand that then you don't understand how corruption works.  Trump is not going to dismantle a system that he and his friends benefit from.  In fact Trump went to people like Sheldon Adelson looking for money to fund his campaign, but they refused.  Then he decided to fool people like you into thinking he did it on purpose.  OF COURSE IT'S WITHIN THE RULES.  If it wasn't then all of these people would be in jail.  The whole reason why PACS are created is so that rich people can funnel more of their money into candidates.  Again, you sound incredibly naive on this topic.  It is amazing to me how easily people can get manipulated.  No, Trump is not "self funded" that is another lie.  Part of his campaign funds come from donations and the other part comes from loans that he can use any kind of money to pay back later on. He can use contributions from other rich people, PAC money, etc.   He's shuffling money around and fooling people like you into thinking that he's somehow being altruistic.  Trump ALSO has a super PAC.  Please stop being a sheep.
    1
  4621. diapersFTMFW11  Trump wasn't winning from the start.  When he started he begged just like everyone else to get rich donors to fund his campaign.  The problem is that they said "no" because they were already backing people like Jeb Bush, Rubio, Walker, etc. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/11/trump-wooed-GOP-mega-donors.html http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/donald-trump-sheldon-adelson-paul-singer-koch-brothers-215540 Again, loaning yourself money with the idea that you can pay back that money from your campaign (donations) later isn't "self funding".  If he was really self funding he would just pay for it, not give himself loans.  Do you seriously think someone would incur interest and fees on a loan if they were planning on paying themselves back with their own money?  Of course not. Trump is corrupt because he's running for president for his own ego.  He openly lies, changes position, engages in ad hominems, racism, and xenophobia to reach that end.  He makes money off his name and there's no better name recognition than running for president or even being president.  The reason why he's using loans instead of his own money is because he looks at it like a money making venture.  Trump has spent years influencing politicians to gain more influence and money.  During all that time he has never given a shit about politics, war, or anyone else in all that time. He has barely given any of his money to charity.  And what he calls "charity" are favors he's done to get more influence over politicians.  Yet magically he found religion in 2015? lol...  It's a show, nothing more.  If he actually cared about money in politics HE WOULD BE OPENLY SUPPORTING LEGISLATION AND THE AMENDMENT TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.  But he doesn't, he just makes a show out of it to get himself attention while not proposing a thing to actually change the system.   Meanwhile Bernie has been fighting against war, oppression, and for the middle class for his entire life.  Comparing Trump to Bernie is like comparing a leech to a saint. It should be obvious at this point that I support Bernie Sanders.  He's the only one who has been railing against money in politics for decades and even drafted legislation to change the system.  He's the only one who's honest because he's said the same thing today as he has for the past 30 years and doesn't change his positions conveniently (like pretty much all politicians) just to get elected or win a primary. To your next question...  No, I won't be supporting Hillary Clinton and I doubt that will change unless she can prove to me that she will propose real policies to change the system instead of just playing lip service by riding on Bernie's coattails....
    1
  4622. diapersFTMFW11 Well luckily we have polls and not your guesses to give an indication of what Sander's supporters would do: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/04/26/a-note-of-caution-on-that-poll-showing-bernie-backers-ditching-clinton-in-the-general-election/ "I'm not saying he's a liar. I'm saying the policies he endorses as a politician may not 100% reflect his personal views. That's doesn't mean he is lying or will not go that route. " Yes it does. Making excuses for a politician lying about their positions is pathetic. "There's no feasible way to define exactly whether Trump is honest based on his record alone, " Sure there is. If you can't find a pattern after someone has been on this planet for 70 years who has been famous for most of that time then you're just blinding yourself to the truth. He has mostly cared about his money and his name/ego. He is also a liar, domestic abuser, a bully, and possibly even a rapist. Clinton's record is also clear, Obama's record was clear (even though people denied it). If you're going to blind yourself to someone's shady past and just have blind faith in what they've said in the past 6 months then I'm sorry, but you re nothing but naive. Most of his statements have been false according to pretty much any fact checking agency. Yet you're going to sit there and pretend that he's one of the few honest guys. Sorry but that's just plain sad.

  4627. It's the same self justification that's been talked about in Psychology for decades.... How is this news?
    1
  4628. Made perfect sense to me.  Most everything we do in life is based on some social contract or social norm.  Language, theism, money, even the clothes you wear and the food you eat is based on something established and agreed upon by society or some subculture.  We like to think of ourselves as freethinkers but we're really not.  Even our sense of reality itself is nothing more than a norm established by our biology and then greatly built upon using the established systems we use to exist socially.
    1
  4629. I've debated many people on Peter Schiff... and it doesn't take much research to see that he's a guy who makes predictions EVERY SINGLE YEAR.  Most of which turn out to be flat out wrong...   The few cases where he turns out to be right he spends his time bragging about it constantly in order to create PR for himself.   I find it amusing that you don't see this obvious pattern yet you call other people ’idiots’....    Peter Shiff is no Warren Buffet.    The people who actually make lots of money don't go around bragging about it so they can sell books and promote their investment services...  That should have been your first clue.
    1
  4630. Warren Buffet is also takes  long term positions so what? EVERY ECONOMISTS WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSING BUBBLE.  Even Bill Maher (the comedian) mentioned it on his how  back in 2005.   Just Peter bragged about it the loudest after the fact doesn't somehow make him a genius.   He was wrong about the dollar many times, he's been wrong on the price of gold many times.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.   There's absolutely no point in listing to the guy.  He's just a talk show personality that make money pretending that he's right about everything when he's not. Alex Jones makes a living doing the exact same thing.  These guys are for entertainment purposes not factual analysis.
    1
  4631. Some companies that Warren Buffets is indirectly invested in had received bailout money.  It irrational to think the dealings between those companies and the government has anything to do with Warren Buffet himself. And the guy is over 80...  To suggest at this point in his life that somehow his success was due to bailouts is pretty ridiculous. The point wasn't about Bill Maher the point was that the housing bubble was widely known for a long time.  Bill Maher was simply reading from a newspaper and making a comment about it. Economists new about the bubble, Wall St were making lots of money off it so it was in their best interest to ignore or downplay it.   The point is that Peter Schiff was simply one of many who were talking about the bubble years before it went bust.   However Peter is the only one constantly bragging about it years later in order to cash in on it.  Meanwhile he makes doom and gloom predictions all the time that end up being completely wrong.
    1
  4632. He was/is also invested in hundreds of other things.  Hundreds of THOUSANDS of people were also directly invested in the various financial institutions that benefited from bailouts and millions of others benefited indirectly.  Like I said to somehow make it about one person is rather ridiculous....   Its not like Warren Buffet personally made the bailouts happen. A 50% loss would be a stretch, but If you're going to go so far as to blame Buffet from benefiting from government policies you might as well blame Schiff from benefitting from the policies that effect the price of gold.  Either way its a guessing game where people benefit from being on the right side.  Unfortunately that's the system we have so blaming someone for being on the right side is just sour grapes. Anyone can make a prediction that will eventually come true if you wait long enough.  So to say that its "long term" is nothing more than an excuse.  I don't think anyone was exactly shocked that QE would occur.
    1
  4633. Peter Schiff simply wants to promote himself.  Pretending he is on some altruistic mission is absurd.  At least Buffet wants taxes on people like him raised. I don't know what you're watching, but I have not seen where anyone was shocked over QE1 or QE2 and it's ridiculous to think that everyone somehow had blind faith that Bernanke would magically fix everything.  in fact most people are very critical of Bernanke. Peter Schiff makes a caricature (straw man) out of everyone else's opinions simply to make himself seem more brilliant.  It's the tactic of a con artist.
    1
  4634. [Sigh]...     There is a difference between advocating for a system wide change in the tax policy vs. telling your accountant to not do his job and believing somehow that your accountant not doing his job will somehow change the country. That is just as silly as saying I shouldn't fly on a plane because I want government to promote alternative energy and reduce carbon emissions. I have no interest in trading, however I do work in the financial industry for a large asset management company.  Gold went up when everyone was running to gold and people were expecting it to rise, not surprising that people run to Gold & Bonds after people lose faith in the markets.  However in 2012 Schiff was still calling for it to rise higher and even double when in fact the price eventually fell like EVERYONE ELSE was predicting at the time.  In other words he was flat out wrong.
    1
  4635. Again, advocating for a change in tax code is different than telling your account to not do his/her job.  It would be just as stupid as someone advocating war with China and then when we don't they decide to fly over to Shanghai to beat people up in the streets.   Systemic policy changes are not about an individual... Your hatred towards a guy that simply has a different political persuasion than you do is pretty irrational.  It's not like Peter Schiff doesn't take financial advantage of the Federal policies he disagrees with.  Yet that is somehow perfectly "ok" to you. Also Schiff specifically said gold would double last year and it didn't.  He was completely wrong.  And if you go back historically you would see that he says the exact same thing every single year...   Saying "something will happen eventually" is not a prediction, its nothing more than fishing.  If you cast the same bait out long enough, eventually you will get a bite. Everyone sees a second financial crises coming at some point, because the conditions haven't changed much since the last crises.  However going around "crying wolf" until eventually one day something happens is not being savvy it's simply getting yourself on TV.
    1
  4636. No it doesn't show hypocrisy.  Hypocrisy is telling people not to do drugs while you're smoking a joint.   In other words they are both individual choices.  What the tax code should or should not be is not about individual choice.  It's about a macro policy. Schiff said Gold would go to $5000 before the end of Obama's first term.  He was wrong about the dollar collapsing in 2012.  He now predicts the dollar will crash before Obama's second term.  How much do you want to bet that he's completely wrong there? You could easily call these exaggerations that Peter makes year after year "Lies", because no reasonable economist would make such outlandish claims unless their main purposes was to drum up business for their own investment firm.... Peter Schiff isn't just wrong some of the time he's wrong most of the time. But for some reason lying for the sake of making money is "ok" to you as long as they are in line with your political views.

  4639. Maybe we start with acknowledging our own "Death Cult" that started with the neocons taking over our government and justifying killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, displacing millions, and torture. Not to mention the cultists that justify constant occupation, embargos and death of Palestinians and their children under the guise that Israeli lives are somehow more valuable than Palestinian lives when it comes to going after terrorists. These cultists still exist and until we formally repudiate that mindset with trials and prosecutions we don't have a leg to stand on... Especially when that mindset justifies the anti US sentiment going on in that region today.

  4642. Disentropic Are you delusional? Do you see the word "Hillary" anywhere in that comment? A straw man argument is one thing but I think you've gone way passed that into batshit crazy.
    1
  4643. Disentropic Yes replying to imaginary comments does make you delusional. If you expect people to understand or follow your train of thought then I suggest that you reply to specific statements and follow the actual thread. Not make giant leaps of logic based on a conversation in your mind or somewhere else that people are completely unaware of. I think you've gotten so used to making straw man arguments that you actually expect people to be able to follow these imaginary arguments you're making up. Seriously dude there is nothing that I can respond to here, because I honestly don't know WTF you're talking about.
    1
  4644. Disentropic You expect me to remember every comment I made several days ago and know exactly which one you're replying to? Here's an idea, try reply to the actual comment you're responding to? Now to YOUR comments.... "- You believe Hillary is having the election slanted against her unfairly. (yes or no?)" Primary? yes. General election? no "- You chastise Kyle and the general press for reporting the news, because he's not properly taking into account the agenda you perceive to be underlying the news. (yes or no?)" Yes and no it is not an "agenda that I perceive". Assange clearly admitted to having this information months ago and wanting to use it to bring down Hillary. He waited until October to release it so that it would have the most impact. Or are you unaware of what an "October Surprise is? They are not releasing information as they get it, they are using it for purpose. That isn't right. Then you have to question what else are they withholding? As far as the source of the leaks. Whether it's Russia or not. Hacking and releasing the emails from one party and one campaign. Obviously has the intention of manipulating an election. If we got emails from the RNC and Trump Campaign as well you could make an argument about some group out there wanting transparency for all or something, but the fact that it was specifically targeted towards one party and one campaign for a specific reason. It isn't altruism. The media is of course going to ignore the emails where Hillary is talking to her staff about trying to help people in need. Instead they will focus on everything that might be scandalous. "- Your concern with reporting this news is that it might unreasonably affect the election. (yes or no?)" No, my concern is that the media is lazy... They will chase after anything sensational without actually digging into a story deeper. If you want to manipulate the media all you have to do is something sensational or release "secrets" and they will go after it like a dog noticing a squirrel. Trump did this constantly In the run up to the Iraq war. The media did very little to question the narrative or the motivations behind it, all they did was follow the headlines and it's the same shit here. Kyle is guilty for having such bias against Clinton that he can't see straight. Anyone who talks about "hating" a candidate (not just certain policies or their politics, but the person) is no longer being rational or reporting things reasonably. This election has become about people instead of policies and the media is completely to blame for that. Kyle is also to blame because he fell into the same trap

  4645. Disentropic Sorry, not swallowing your bullshit here. Your comment was: "So your reason for supporting Hillary is to fight election manipulation?" Nothing in my original post had ANYTHING to do with Hillary Clinton or why anyone should or shouldn't vote for her. It's about as dumb as saying "So the reason for supporting Hillary is because you think Burger King has good cheeseburgers?" One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Pretending that my comment was related to something else when it clearly wasn't is what made you sound delusional. It's Alex Jones like bullshit conspiracy nonsense. What I meant was that during the primary, there was clear bias in favor of Hillary from the DNC and various officials in New York. However I don't see that favoritism or election rigging in the general election. Sorry, but misreading one part of your question and then clarifying my answer, is not same as "making shit up" like you did in your original reply. "Conjecture, and I disagree. " When you accuse someone of conjecture and then proceed with a long diatribe of your own conjecture, it makes your arguments less credible. Have you heard of the term "projection"? because this is a classic example. The paragraph you just wrote after that statement is full of opinion, unsubstantiated claims, and generalizations. Kyle clearly has a chip on his shoulder from the primary against Hillary. He's been pushing the narrative that he's not going to "fall in line" and support the Democratic nominee. So he goes out of his way to pretend that he's fair and balanced when it comes corruption. If he ever says anything favorable about Hillary he says something bad about her so that he doesn't lose his street cred in the "hate Hillary crowd". Anytime he talks about Trump's corruption he always has to bring up "scandals" with Hillary as if they are apples to apples. Some are, but most of them are not. However he rarely if ever brings up any Trump's corruption or shady deals when talking about Hillary scandals or leaks. The rare occasion that he says something defending the baseless accusation against Hillary his dislikes go way up, because no one wants to hear that here. They all want to stay in their echo chamber. The reality is there are far more horrendous stories of corruption shady dealings with Trump than there are with the "suggestions of corruption" around Clinton. However you wouldn't know it by watching this channel. He wants to call everything "even" and pretend that he's being even handed when he's not. Sure he'll say that he supports Hillary over Trump, but if you look at his videos and the content on either candidate he's obviously appealing to a certain crowd who wants to remain perpetually angry at Hillary after the primary.
    1
  4646. Disentropic My problem is that I subscribed to Kyle because he was someone who cared about policies and the impact of those policies and this election has been turning him into something else. He's becoming more arrogant, more conspiratorial, more emotional. Saying that you "hate" a candidate implies that you're not going to be objective about it. It's an odd thing for him to say over and over. As if Hillary Clinton shot his dog or something. It's like he's turning into a Rush Limbaugh for the left. That's not a good direction to go in. I've supported Bernie for years. I was listening to his podcasts long before people even knew who he was. However I'm not going to "hate" Hillary just because he lost. The issues I have with Hillary are just issues. That doesn't mean I spend 6 months just focusing on the issues I don't like while ignoring all the policy positions that she is pretty good on. Bernie had lots of support because he has had good judgement for decades. However when he says that the best way forward is to support Hillary while simultaneously creating a movement to keep in pushed in the right direction. Suddenly a lot of his supporters just ignore that judgement.
    1
  4647. Disentropic Agreed, though for the people who think that Bernie would choose his own way forward as oppose to what he truly felt was best to move the country forward, don't know Bernie very well.... The guy never wanted to run for president until it was the only way to change the political conversation in this country and it worked. What Bernie has always said is that he and Hillary Clinton agree on most issues. What he wanted to address by running for president was money in politics, single payer, trade/TPP, Infrastructure, and free college education. The democratic platform and Hillary Clinton have moved on all of those issues. However the focus has turned almost completely into establishment vs non-establishment. Which of course works in Trump's favor.

  4651. clearcutter74 If you're not being literal when making a point then you're also not being "ignorant" when making said point because by definition you are using symbolism rather than making claims that are beyond your knowledge....  This is what separates a "conversation" from a "dissertation on racial genetics" when all you're doing is making a point relating to the topic.  If you are unable to comprehend this then you are displaying your own ignorance of common social idioms.
    1
  4652. clearcutter74 And your evidence that Ben is somehow "unaware of" basic genetics comes from where? What facts are you using to justify this?  Something that absurd needs something more than just pulling ideas out of your ass.
    1
  4653. clearcutter74 Which is a complete non sequitur...  Saying that one car is blue and the other is red doesn't mean I don't know that there are differences between sports cars vs. SUVs.  Do you have any evidence other than a non sequitur? Do you somehow know for a fact that Ben is unaware of something called "sports"?  When he's made self deprecating comments in the past about Jews being bad at sports do you think that he was just acting? Without any evidence or logic what you call "clear" is little more than an "assumption" based on your own personal bias.

They want to allow the teachers to be able to say things like "You see the bible said something similar to this science thing we're learning today so therefore god knows everything and you should follow the bible". There are articles out there on the web which claim that the bible talks about quantum physics just because it says something about "small things" somewhere. It's ridiculous the amount of lengths people will go to justify their faith. Same thing with libertarianism.

  4660. It's not time to "panic" until the debates start. If you're seriously parsing polls 2 1/2 weeks before we've even had a debate after Trump has been in the news constantly then you're fucking doing it wrong... I poured my heart, sole, and wallet into Bernie Sanders. However there comes a time when you need to stop whining about it and focus on what we can do.
    1
  4661. War450 Sorry, your definition of "objective" is fucked up... There is absolutely NO interventionist policy that Hillary has supported that Trump hasn't also supported. There is absolutely no corruption that Hillary has been party too that is on the scale that Trump has done for decades doing and getting favors from countless politicians as well as the Mob. He is even currently funneling half the money from his campaign to his own businesses. You think you're being objective? please.... Furthermore I vote based on POLICIES. The reason Bernie Sanders supports Clinton, is because of POLICIES and the fact is the actual policies she has put forth are a thousand times better than anything that Trump has put forth. And thanks to Bernie Sanders the platform of the democratic party is far more progressive than it has been in many decades. But you don't care about policies you care about a person, you care about a cult of personality. You want the messiah to rise up who says all the right things even if they don't know shit about governing. I'm not going to throw my vote away to a party that just shows up every 4 years to run on a platform of "look how bad the other two parties are" and don't do shit themselves. You can vote "grass is greener" or vote for the Koch brothers dream candidate all you want, but it's pretty hypocritical to throw your vote away instead of supporting the polices that Bernie spent a year and a half fighting for.
    1
  4662. War450 Wow you are seriously oblivious to facts aren't you? 1. What federal laws did Hillary break exactly? Trump's campaign has actually been caught several times soliciting foreign donations (UK, Germany, Russia, etc) to his campaign. Which is in fact against federal law. He is currently "getting away with it" 2. Trump has been caught in more lies than any politician in history. Every political fact checking site (politifact, factcheck,org, etc.) has come to the same conclusion. But clearly you don't care about facts, because you want to live in your delusion and irrational hatred over Hillary. 3. Who said anything about starting a war with Russia? Meanwhile you have Trump who wants to bring back torture, target civilians with drone strikes, thinks about using nuclear weapons, wants to deport millions of people, ban an entire religion from entering the country. Not to mention he suggested the same no-fly zone over Syria that Clinton did. 4. The Koch brothers simply said that they are less afraid of Hillary than Trump because trump doesn't care about defaulting on our debt which is a huge thing for the global fucking economy.... You seriously have no idea WTF you're talking about. if you're going to base you ideas on a one sided argument and not even look into the history of fraud, abuse, and illegal activity from Trump then you really have no business voting. Especially when all you want to do is do a knee jerk reaction and vote "for the other guy" without doing a shred of actual research on them. Trump Foundation is even currently under investigation and was fined by the IRS for paying off an Attorney General to not do an investigation into Trump University.
    1
  4663. War450 Have no idea what "paycheck" you're referring to, but nothing surprises me from you guys that live in "conspiracy land" 1. Wrong. The FBI director made it clear that there was not enough evidence of wrong doing to bring a case. 2. Trump has lied about every position he has ever had, yet somehow you believe he's telling the truth now and Hillary isn't. Sorry but that is just as naive. Trump has absolutely no reason not to flip on TPP. He makes money from globalization and outsourcing. Not to mention deals with the Saudis, UAE, and Russian oligarchs, etc. He will do anything he can to open more business relationships with foreign companies. If it means pushing through the TPP he will certainly do that. 3. Trump also called for a no-fly zone in Syria genius. He also called for ground 30,000 troops. So I guess by your logic he also wants war with Russia too right? 4. He never used the words "default", but he pretended that one could renegotiate the national debt as if it's a real-estate deal. Which most countries would treat as a default. The very idea is enough to tank global markets and It's about the dumbest thing that you could say to threaten the entire US financial standing with the rest of the world. 5. No Trump is the worse candidate and the polls in the US, Mexico, and Europe show that. Sure I suppose everyone who disagrees with you is a "paid shill". That doesn't make you sound like a child or anything. 6. No the difference is that you've clearly spent a lot of time on the Hillary Hate blogs, but you haven't done dick to research Trump. You just think he's better because he's "the new guy" and he said a couple good zingers. Never-mind all the shitty policy positions of Trump (fascism and discriminatory policies, wanting to prosecute journalists, creating a bigger torture program, targeting civilians with drone strikes, a tax plan that's a give away to the rich, prosecuting women for abortions, etc.) not to mention his shady past with corruption, buying off politicians, rape, sexual harassment, dealings with the mafia, fraud, etc. You think Trump is the better candidate based on nothing more than ignorance. I supported Bernie Sanders before most of the county knew who he was. I'm well aware of Hillary's faults. However compared to Trump she is a godsend.
    1
  4664. War450 And Trump pays people to protest and he's also paid actors to show up at his rallies. Wow, are you really oblivious to this? Furthermore the Kremlin has paid online trolls to support Trump: http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-internet-trolls-and-donald-trump-2016-7 And we all know (or maybe you don't) that Trump's former campaign manager was in a big scandal because it came out that he used to do propaganda for the Russian government and was still on their payroll. 1. No, I listened to what the FBI director actually said. You listened to what you wanted to hear. When your argument is "read between the lines" then you have no argument. 2. You seriously have to be brain-dead to not know how how often Trump lies. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/ http://www.factcheck.org/person/donald-trump/ The guy is still a birther for Christ's sake. All you have to do is google "Trump Flip Flops" because honestly he has lied too many times and flipped on too many issues to list them here. If you think he is "consistent" then you are either brain-dead, brain washed, or you yourself are a paid shill. 3. He has in fact called for a no-fly zone in Syria. The same no-fly zone you accuse Hillary of "wanting to start a war with Russia". You are being a complete hypocrite here. 4. He did imply we could "renegotiate our debt" which is what freaked people out all over the world. But hey I guess you don't care about a president that says things which ruin our standing with the rest of the world. 5. Uh no, polls have had Hillary consistently up for several months now. And internationally it's not even close.... Trump is a joke to the rest of the world, in every poll conducted outside the US he has record unfavorables compared to Hillary. We are a joke for even considering a guy like that for president, but somehow people like you get brainwashed by bullshit. 6. Again, Trump also supported the Iraq war initially. He supported the Lybia intervention. He wants to escalate the drone program and specifically target civilians Somehow you think that just because he hasn't been in office his policy positions don't mean anything. It's rather frightening that you're willing to elect a guy who wants to escalate everything you don't like, just because he hasn't been in office. Your whole irrational argument is based on "well I really don't think he will do those things" You're jumping on a bandwagon without even paying attention to a person's platform or policy positions, just because he's the "new guy". Sorry but that is just dumb. You don't trade something bad for something worse. I could understand supporting Jill Stein or Gary Johnson if you're truly anti-war or ant-aggression, but to blindly support a guy who says he wants to escalate everything you don't like (including torture), not to mention giving more leeway to the police to do unlawful searches, seizures, arrests, and shooting of unarmed suspects. It means that you're a lemming who cares more about personality than policy and it's truly sad.

  4665. War450 Trump has in fact paid people to act as supporters at his rallies and lies about how many people are there. This is well documented. You require far less evidence to indict Hillary on shady dealings. Which supports the fact that you're nothing more than a hypocrite. 1. Again. He has repeated several times that there is nothing criminal and nothing warranting an indictment and that no prosecutor would ever pursue a case with such little evidence. Like I said, you've basically proven yourself a hypocrite here. 2. "I don't care 'how often' he lies" That's clear, because you're a hypocrite. You claim that Hillary is the "biggest liar" with zero evidence. Then when you're presented with actual evidence of the lies compiled by two difference fact checking sites you ignore it. 3. Trump has said numerous times that he wants a "safe zone" in Syria. The only way to insure a "safe zone" is to create a "no-fly zone". You cannot just wish for a safe zone, you have to actually have a strategy to make sure that planes or drones are not bombing that area. Hillary is calling for a no fly zone in order to create a safe zone for refugees. Trump is calling for the same thing. Either he realizes that this means a no-fly zone or he's just fucking ignorant to it. Clinton has said that we already work with the Russians to create a "de-conflicted airspaces". So obviously the plan is to work with Russia to agree on an airspace for the no-fly zone. Not simply start randomly shooting down planes. So to me it seems like she knows what the fuck she's doing and Trump is just talking out of his ass. 4. No we can't do it. Period. Stop defending nonsense statements. 5. No they are not "effectively tied". That is "effectively lying". Getting a bump after some bad press is normal. It doesn't change the fact that she is up and has been up for months. The international polls are not even close. Trump is at 9% with european countries with 85% saying they have no confidence in Trump. He is a disaster for this country's reputation. First Bush, now Trump. The stupid never ends. 6. This is the fundamental reason why people like you are easily fooled by bullshit artists. When asked he said he supported the way before the war started. However he didn't speak out against the war until 2004 when it obvious going horribly. People like me, Sanders, Ron Paul, etc. were speaking out against it FROM THE BEGINNING... Not just during the 2004 election when it was obvious that the war was going wrong. However you are fooled by the bullshit of someone jumping on the bandwagon when it became obvious that it was a mistake and then taking credit for it. This is why Trump has flipped on nearly every position he has. 7. There is far more to the democratic and republican platform than a "no-fly zone" but that seems to be all you can come up with. What is Trump's stance on Citizens United and getting money out of politics? Healthcare? Taxes/Economic Inequality? Abortion? Or how about Climate Change? Which is currently the biggest threat to humanity at the moment. Voting based on the latest scandal instead of the totality of a platform is both fickle and foolish. If you're not actually voting for ideas then you're not really voting for anything.

  4666. Umm... you're missing the point. It sounded like part of what she was saying is that we only talk about lives lost when there is a mass shooting as opposed to thinking about the lives lost by minorities every day.

  4667. zeroceiling From politifact: --- "First, the State Department did approve of Russia’s gradual takeover of a company with significant U.S. uranium assets, but it didn’t act unilaterally. State was one of nine government agencies, not to mention independent federal and state nuclear regulators, that had to sign off on the deal. Second, while nine people related to the company did donate to the Clinton Foundation, it’s unclear whether they were still involved in the company by the time of the Russian deal and stood to benefit from it. Third, most of their Clinton Foundation donations occurred before and during Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid, before she could have known she would become secretary of state. The bottom line: While the connections between the Clinton Foundation and the Russian deal may appear fishy, there’s simply no proof of any quid pro quo." --- When you state positive things happening to people loosely related to the Clinton. it sounds like quid pro quo. However if you have ALL then a completely different picture is painted. The State department doesn't act unilaterally on hardly ANYTHING it does. It's always based on US policy along with working with many US agencies not to mention presidential approval. There seems to be a disturbing trend on the left especially on Secular Talk to adopt the "Alex Jones" ideology of identifying everything as a conspiracy when it related to Hillary Clinton. I don't know why, but it's kind of crazy. You guys seriously need to check yourselves on all the blind Hillary Hate and get back to facts and reason.

  4668. zeroceiling It's not that there isn't a "smoking gun" it's that this isn't a logical or even a rational argument. You might as well say "firefighters start fires" simply because they show up in the same places. You would have to know dick about how the government works to somehow think that the State Department, let alone Hillary Clinton, can just decide to sell Uranium or Weapons without the DEEP involvement of several other government agencies, let alone the president and Joint Chiefs. The reality is people believe these things because they have an irrational hatred of Hillary so they have absolutely no motivation to look deeper into these things and actually get to the facts of the situation. When you are correct you don't make vague philosophical arguments, you come with facts. When all you're doing is justifying your conclusions and pre-notions, you really need to start questioning your ideas.

  4669. matt S  Here's the reality...  On average women with kids earn less than women without kids.  Sure there are women who can have children and move on to great careers.   There are also people who can juggle while tap dancing, so what? Just because people can accomplish something difficult doesn't make it less difficult to accomplish and acknowledging that fact isn't a bad thing. The fact is having a child is a big impact on a woman's life and career and to pretend it's a "non issue" under the feel good guise that somehow "everything is equal"  is nonsense.  This is something that all women understand on some level.  Ana is just keeping it real.
    1
  4670. matt S If you acknowledge that birthing and raising children is more difficult for women than men then I don't see that as a stereotype I see that as acknowledging facts. To assume someone is projecting "what a woman should be" simply by asking that question is a stretch.   It would be like asking Chris Christie about his health and suddenly getting offended because not all fat people are unhealthy.  Then claiming you are perpetuating a stereo type about fat people even though scientifically we know obesity leads various illnesses.   Political correctness taken too far becomes ridiculousness.
    1
  4671. matt S My comment is based on a the idea that if a woman decides to have a child it is a bigger impact than if a man decides to have a child.  If a woman doesn't plan on having children then yes saying "can she have it all" would be based on the assumptions and stereotype. However if a woman plans to have a child then I see no problem with the question at all because of the obvious extra burden that is on a woman when she has a child. I would also pose the same question to a man if he is single and is taking care of children.  Even with a nanny, etc. it's not easy as a single parent.

  4675. ***** Do you believe the current system of government and the current economic system (both of which have only been around a few hundred years) is the end all be all of what humanity will ever achieve?  I only suggest that we continue to strive towards better systems and start using science instead of ideology, emotion. and the cultures that we've been indoctrinated into since birth as starting points. There are a lot of ideas out there, but most don't get the attention they deserve simply because we've brainwashed ourselves into a singular thought process.

  4676. Boo Radley Money started out as a tool which then became an abstraction for accumulating power for banks and a few wealthy families. In a global sense money and trade benefited many western countries (Britain, France, the Netherlands, and by extension the United States) but it was all at the expense of the people of Asia, Africa, middle east, North/South America, Caribbean, etc. Many of the countries that came out of that mess are still dealing with massive amounts of poverty, war, and chaos.  People of African and native American descent in the US are still dealing with massive poverty and inequality and corporations are still oppressing people for the same reasons all around the world.  So I'm sure there are pockets of examples where people were brought out of poverty through the magic of markets, however in the grand scheme I see far more detriment than benefit. Unless you give dictatorship powers to a single immortal individual with perfect morals and perfect insight to write perfect laws when needed then regulations will ALWAYS be nothing more than temporary patches.  The incentives always lead towards corruption....  There hasn't been a single point in history where this hasn't been the case.  Today money wields a lot more power than people and the financial sector is manipulating more money than the entire world's GDP.  The only way to stop this is to take power away from money and bring that power to individuals and objective science.

  4677. ***** It seems like you're confusing "profit" with the "need for subsistence".  Profit is largely cultural and is based on societal expectations, social acceptance, cast systems, etc.. Subsistence on the other hand is based on biology and meeting the needs of that biology for a healthy existence. Humans are highly social creatures and we have taught ourselves to treat money as an extension of our social needs and expectations.  So  "reward and punishment" in the case of humans in a typical industrialized culture is the gain and loss of money.  We do this because we conflate money with subsistence which is true for many people especially if you live in a city, but we also associate money with societal prestige. However this is a completely learned behavior, not only is it a fairly recent development in human history, but even today you can find pockets of humans not holding those same beliefs.  The difference is the environment one is raised in.

  4678. Boo Radley Pretty much all governments are largely driven by "factions" in the form of political parties (republicans, democrats), ideologies (conservatives, liberals, libertarian), or social movements.  All this does is foster tribalism where decisions are made based on a label, against a label or based on a familiar positive or negative emotion associated to something.  This makes for an environment that is easily manipulated by those who are good at advertising and messaging. However we already have a method for understanding our world and the systems within it.  It's called the "scientific method". We can already decipher what variables lead to better outcomes for the health, happiness, and well being of people.  There are hundreds of these studies published and reviewed every year.  However none of this is part of our conversation on governing ourselves, managing our systems or sustaining our planet.  We choose "gut feelings" and whatever our faction's dogma is over facts and reality.  We're okay with science when it gives us a better smartphone, but we revert to guesswork when it comes things that can actually save lives. Until people make this shift culturally, we will continue to have a needless amount of wars, mass incarcerations, violence, mental disease, etc.
    1
  4679. Boo Radley  Well it's a cultural problem.  Really all of our problems would be solved if people looked at our problems scientifically rather than through guesswork.  If a politician says "I'm going to stop terrorism" then the questions should be: how do you define "stop"? how do you define "terrorism"? and where is the research that backs up your plan?  Science is validated through publication and review.  Governance should follow the same standards.  This doesn't require everyone to be a scientist, however it does require a process to be followed. Also I don't think any viable plan will get rid of money or markets overnight.  Markets started out small during a time where bartering was much more prevalent and now it's at a point where most money is made from money itself using complex systems and algorithms.  We can either wait for another inevitable collapse or we can start shifting the culture away from profit motives and towards resource management and sustainability.  The fact is by further developing the technology we already have most people's basic needs could be met today.  So the question is can we create an environment where most needs are met and markets are simply filling the gaps instead of an environment where every individual is directly or indirectly a slave to money and those who control or manipulate it.

  4680. sevlevboss  The fact that your first two claims are incorrect indicates that perhaps your entire list is flawed. 1. CJ never said anything about "Christianity" in that first statement.  He was talking about a binary worldview of "us vs. Islam".  I have no idea where you got Christianity from. 2. Whatever Sam's current position is he in fact did suggest in his book End of Faith that a first strike may be the best option on any Islamic nation that acquired nuclear weapons.  The quote in it's full context is here:  http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_End_of_Faith There are a lot of really ugly generalizations (bigoted ideas) on how all Muslims supposedly think in that quote as well... I don't have time to go through each of your points, but it's clear that there are significant problems with your reaction (or overreaction)
    1
  4681. sevlevboss taking two words out of context of an entire paragraph and lying about what was said makes it clear that you're not an honest actor here.  Apparently you're only interested in being Sam's PR person instead of having an honest discussion on the facts.
    1
  4682. sevlevboss SSky06 Bleuski  Reposting the quote I just gave isn't an argument and calling the aftermath of a situation "insane" doesn't somehow negate the previous paragraph suggesting that a first strike on any Islamic state that acquires nuclear weapons is a justifiable position based purely on what "Islamist believe".  If you think so, you're failing at reading comprehension. 
    1
  4683. SSky06  No, he did not say a first strike would be an injustice or insane.  You guys look at the word "insane" and think it somehow negates the entire previous paragraph. It doesn't.  You also fail to see that he suggests that a first strike on an Islamic state is a justifiable position to have based purely on the fear of what "Islamist believe".
    1
  4684. sevlevboss Again, even if you make the argument that he's not specifically advocating that specific action .  The problem is the fact that he justifies it as a valid position to have in that scenario.  That somehow being nothing more than an Islamic state with nuclear capability is enough for people to feel threatened enough to make a first strike. It would be as horrible as suggesting that because of black gang violence that it is justifiable to feel threatened enough to do a preemptive strike on any African nation predominately black that gets nuclear capability.  NO, neither being black nor being a Muslim in of itself should never EVER be a reason to be afraid of a nation.  That is narrow minded and bigoted.
    1
  4685. sevlevboss  Either you just misread that sentence or you're intentionally cherry picking the quote in order to change what Sam Harris said.  Let's bring back the full context:  "What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry?" Sam is clearly saying that *any* Islamic state "grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise".  He is not somehow referring to an especially crazy Islamic state. If he were saying that he would leave off the commas to make that an essential qualifier to the rest of sentence rather than just an additional  descriptor for "Islamist regime" This is exactly the overgeneralizations that piss people off.  It's no better than saying: "What will we do if Jews, who are greedy and hoard money, took over our economy?" You would call that racist, yet somehow when it comes to Muslims it's okay.  I have no idea why you can't see that.
    1
  4686. sevlevboss I got that he was talking about any Islamic regime from the sentence he wrote...  Back peddling from the statement later doesn't somehow change the rules of basic grammar.  Obviously this was the reason for the controversy in the first place.  Pretending that's not what he meant and that this alternative meaning somehow was "Clear" is a dick move IMO...  Knowing nothing else about Sam Harris that really makes me question the guy's character.
    1
  4687. sevlevboss The context and overall tone of his statements in that book were very generic to all of Islam and all Muslims.  Whether he simply got caught up in the moment and did not mean to be so overgeneralizing, I don't know. So I really don't know if he has since augmented his opinions. I'd have to read a lot more of what he's written then and now to make a judgment call on that.  However I do find it distasteful that he pretends that the statements were not overgeneralizing at all.  There have been many things I've said or written and wish I had worded differently.  Everyone has done this.

  4688. SSky06  Feel free to read the comments I made above on that exact issue.  However you're not winning points on the amount of text you post.  Especially for something that has already been posted 3 times here already.

  4690. Also... Don't forget that when people like O'Reilly and Hannity were teenagers their "minimum wage" was much higher than it is today when you take into account inflation. So these fuckers who had it much better growing up because of government help are now trying to screw over the younger generation who now have a lower effective minimum wage while facing a MUCH higher cost of education.
    1
  4691. The level of propaganda on "the right" is astounding.... I was having a conversation with my boss about politics and he was convinced that "the left" was getting way to extreme. When in reality the vast majority of the policies have been simply continues from the previous administration and their is almost no new policy implemented that was proposed by the GOP at one point in time.
    1
  4692. Nah Kyle, you're only looking at it from your point of view. There are thousands of demographics out there besides young white male youtubers. Obviously you don't care about PC outrage, but there are a LOT of voters who do. Especially with older voters who actually turn up to vote. Temperament is very important to that group. You and Trump need to realize that the Republican Primary is a different than the general election.... Those same primaries didn't care about torture, taking out families, etc.
    1
  4693. GOP, so where's your outrage over the national debt? [crickets.....] I guess that only applies when democrats are in office huh?

  4694. Soo... It's okay for you to trash talk a sports team, but people can't trash talk you? You didn't show a single tweet of anyone inciting violence... It's called freedom of speech. Using colorful language isn't a crime. Stop whining.

  4695. Yeah no kidding. The problems people had with her had to do with policy and judgement such as wall street speeches, Iraq vote, DOMA and being against gay marriage until ti was convenient, etc. It really had nothing to do with just being in the spotlight.
    1
  4696. ***** They acknowledged it briefly and it was in the context of pretending that young people didn't vote for her because she has been in the spotlight for so long.... Which is kind of ridiculous. I'm black too, and the fact is Bill Clinton was the first president in decades to play lip service directly to the black community, This was after 16 years of demonization by Reagan, Bush, etc. Therefore the name Clinton instantly became identifiable and relatable in black households all across the country.... It was the same for the name "Kennedy" at one point. I have black friends who were militant Bernie supporters but their parents went for Clinton because they just didn't "know" Bernie. My ex supported Clinton for the same reason really. Also in her case, as is the case with a lot of people, they don't dive into the policies enough to see that much of a difference between Hillary and Bernie. So in their minds they think "Well they both seem progressive enough so why not just go with the person I know who would be the first woman president!" It also helps that she ran in 2008 so she is fresh in everyone's minds (just like Mitt Romney). In any case, like I said for them to pretend that people voted purely on issues is admitting that they don't know the first thing about politics. Unfortunately Bernie doesn't have another election in him. It will be 8 years before another democrat would replace Clinton. They aren't going to primary her because it would be political suicide. Also by then the GOP would have figured out something to run on. So unless Hillary decides to turn into FDR (which is entirely possible given enough pressure from grassroots movements) It may be 12 years before we have a true Bernie like presidency.

The fact that there are immigrants here who have given birth and those kids are now old enough for school is not an immigration problem it's a city planning and education funding problem. I fail to see the difference if it were white kids being born vs brown kids being born.

  4712. Minkki82 Apparently people don't know the difference between commenting on news and calling a specific guy a "killer" over and over.
    1
  4713. Minkki82 When did TYT called all cops killers? Because that's the only analogy you have. Otherwise you're reaching.
    1
  4714. Minkki82 All things which are true. However TYT never said that every cop was a "killer", a "murderer", they all have "blood on their hands", what they would do if they got their hands on them, and lied about their motivations, over and over. Which was the case with Dr. Tiller. So there is a clear difference in targeting a specific person with aggression and the degree of the unfounded accusations. What is clear in this case was that they guy was directly motivated by the attacker in Dallas and he was suffering from PTSD. However what is not clear is any kind of motivation from TYT reporting. TYT is one of the largest news outlet on YouTube so if you link any news story from YouTube then chances are it will be from TYT. The bigger story is all of these veterans that are coming back damaged from our ongoing wars.... That's what you really need to be worried about. Similar to what happened after Vietnam we have a large population of citizens with PTSD that can get triggered by shit on the news. I wouldn't be surprised to see future attacks on Mosques, government buildings, etc.

  4716. +dumb gal No, it's more like "because we treat life like profit making machines and factories" is why we have antibiotic resistant disease and factories. Not all meat is as detrimental as cow meat and we need to start treating the planet and our bodies as an ecosystem not a factory. We're still killing of the bee population and many other species as well as our top soil through non-sustainable agricultural practices. Not eating meat will just kill us more slower, not solve the problem. The world is an ecosystem which relies on plants and animals.
    1
  4717. Martine Exactly...  For some reason most people think that plants just magically grow from nothing.  When in reality our agriculture is built upon an industry that is heavily dependent on petrochemicals (oil) for fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, and transportation that is extremely detrimental to the environment. Not to mention GMOs and breeding out diversity. Plants don't grow from nothing they have a symbiotic relationship with large and small animals. We should be harnessing all of that for sustainability.

Yeah the GOP has been doing that bullshit for a long time, no wonder they think everyone else does it.

  4724. It's not going to be a "yo yo effect". That's just your imagination..... We're passed the primaries so you need to understand that the dynamic is completely different in the general race. Trump will continue to implode and Hillary will continue to look presidential. Yes Bernie woulda coulda shoulda have been a MUCH better candidate. However that doesn't make Trump's campaign less incompetent. Hillary may be a weak candidate, but her campaign is a well oiled machine.... They are FAR more informed and experienced than anyone working for Trump's campaign. Trump is also a pathetically weak candidate who simply got lucky because he was running against a lot of other weak candidates and had the right messaging at the right time. He is nothing more than Sarah Palin 2.0 and it's about time everyone got with that program....

Somehow you think that with an Armenian co-host that it has never once been brought up in the entire 11 years the show has been put on youtube? Of course it has. The first time I heard about the Armenian Genocide was on this show. However this show is about the US and important topics today. It's not about something that happened 100 years ago in a different country. And no I'm not about to go through thousands of videos to find exactly where they discussed one obscure topic. That's your job.
    1
  4728. Kyle, the only reason why you're downplaying the Russian thing is because of classic cognitive dissonance.... You pretended that it was a non-issue simply because Clinton's campaign brought it up and you hated Clinton so therefore you were motivated to dismiss it. So you have an incentive to stick with your bias narrative. This really isn't difficult.... BOTH THINGS should be investigated. But guess what? The Russia thing came first and there are far more connections you can make to clear conflicts of interests with Russia and the Trump campaign than you can in this case. Why? Because the president can legally fire anyone attorney he wants to so the idea that this is somehow a smoking gun is absurd. George Bush did the same thing and it wasn't just one attorney it was SEVEN. Did that bring down the Bush Administration? Of course not, because you can't prove shit in those cases.

  4734. Uh... Maybe because you had a republican congress who were willing to waste tens of millions of our tax dollars investing every thing they could possibly find multiple times even though they came up with nothing? lol, but of course the fact that there was nothing to investigate automatically means they were guilty right? #TrollLogic

  4735. Or maybe you should do some research instead of jumping to silly conclusions? lol, WTF kind of question is that? Why is Trump linked to Russian, Saudi Arabian, and Chinese investors? OMG do you seriously not understand the difference between a private citizen and POTUS?
    1
  4736. Who is the bigger clown for not knowing that It's public knowledge that Trump has connections and financial ties to Russia & Saudi Arabia. lol... Trump registered 8 COMPANIES in Saudi Arabia during his presidential campaign. Cause apparently Google is too hard for you. Which country is conveniently left out of his ridiculous Muslim ban? Oh that's right, Saudi Arabia. Gee it's a good thing that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 weren't from Saudi Arabia, oh wait.... Trump Jr on Trump's businesses in 2008 "And in terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia. There's indeed a lot of money coming for new-builds and resale reflecting a trend in the Russian economy and, of course, the weak dollar versus the ruble," Before that trump partnered with the Bayrock Group which was financed by Russian money and ran by a guy with ties to the Russian Mafia. I'm sure all of this is cleared up in Trump's tax returns. It's a good thing he was upfront and honest about releasing them Oh wait.... lol. You guys are fucking idiots who only care about mindlessly cheer-leading for your team even if your country is being robbed. What happened to all the outrage over the deficit even though Trump's budget explodes the deficit? Oh it suddenly doesn't count now because it's not a democrat. Mindless trolls.
    1
  4737. LOL Look how easily you display your hypocrisy. You said: " Clintons have links to Russians, Saudi Arabia..... " Now that we're talking about Trump it becomes: "Saudi Arabia is an ally of our country" Suddenly Podesta having Russia investors once is a problem (because why? Who the fuck knows!), but when the PRESIDENT has had HUGE investments from Russian Oligarchs, his campaign was managed by a Russian agent, and suddenly he's created a bunch of policies favorable to Russia (rolling back sanctions over Crimea, hiring rex tillerson as secretary of state to push through a 500 billion dollar oil deal in Russia, etc.). You don't hear a peep. You people seriously make me sick. You pretend to care about policy, but all you care about is rooting for your fucking team. I really don't give a shit whether Saudi Arabia is an "ally" or not. They are a bad actor in the middle east spreading Wahhabism and supporting terrorism and oppression in their own country. So I didn't like it when we Obama made weapons deals with them or when Bush secretly rushed their royalty out of the country after 911 and walked with them holding hands. "Our country is in horrible shape thanks to Obama." Based on what exactly? Cutting the unemployment rate in half? Giving 20 million people more health care? Saving the lives of thousands of people who otherwise would have died because they didn't have coverage or because of the new hospital patient regulations that have saved at least 50,000 lives since the ACA was enacted? WTF is your metric exactly for the country being worse (since the 2008 recession) besides "your feelings" or "your team" not being in charge?

Not to mention the parent's outrage in having their child going to a school with aides posing semi nude. If the school is in a conservative area this would be a huge problem for them. Not saying that she should have been suspended, but at the same time you should understand the precarious situation schools are in.  It's not as black and white as you're making it out to be.

  4743. 1955RodHot I didn't say anything about something being "legal" or "illegal", so I don't know where you're getting that from.  Secondly parents are highly irrational when it comes to their children.  Just because something isn't illegal or wrong doesn't mean that a parent won't lose their shit over it.  And if you're a school official making a choice between a backlash of angry parents vs. one aide that can be replaced easily.  Then the choice is easy, It's really no different then the story TYT did a  couple days ago about an actress being fired from the vagina monologues because she appeared in a conservative ad.  In that case Ana had no problems with the actress getting fired.  It's a double standard if you ask me.

  4745. Uhh.... No. To be fair Kyle Hillary Clinton was actually integral in getting Iran to the table for the nuclear deal. For one thing she appointed the woman who actually DID the negotiations with Iran. Furthermore when you say Obama said "hey let's talk" and we magically got an Iran deal. THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL. Part of what brought Iran to the table was the sanctions and the coalition of countries pressuring Iran to make a deal. It was the State Department who was behind most of that and so in some ways, I hate to say it, but she was kind of right... In any negotiation you need the carrot and the stick. Obviously Clinton is a stick. The question is whether she will have some kind of balance to temper her hawkishness when in office. However unlike Trump at least she isn't asking people "Why can't we use nukes?"

  4746. To a large extent this is really just a symptom of the oligarchy. This is basically how business happens. Trump, the Clintons, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. Anyone with wealth does the same thing. You go through the cocktail circuit, you make contacts and associations and those contacts make you money later. It completely makes sense that Bill Clinton would simultaneously raise money for the foundation and himself at the same time. Why would''t you? While you have the right people in the room it would be stupid to not to plug your foundation while negotiating your speech services or vice versa. The problem is that the more access people have the more they become your "friend", so you begin to look out for their interests more. You may not think that you're doing anything wrong, but it's human nature to favor the people that you know. Then before you know it the country is controlled by the rich. Pretty soon people will realize that the root for all "corruption" is the monetary system, a society dependent on money is one that is easily corruptible. No matter if it's the private sector or public sector -TZM
    1
  4747. OLSCOOLR Just because you hold them to a higher standard doesn't mean that the system does... Why do you think that the only politician in this race who was genuine and not "corrupt" was also the one who wasn't wealthy and embraced "socialism"? That isn't a coincidence. Being a politician doesn't somehow grant you magic powers to shield yourself from the system we live in. Being a senator or president doesn't make you magically forget the 50 or 60 years you've spent thriving in a system based on money. Once you are trained to create wealth in this system, you are trained for life. Eventually you guys are going to stop this pointless game of blaming individuals and start looking at the system we all live in. Cenk is almost there. He knows that the political system is broken and corrupting because of money. He also knows that corporations act as amoral entities on a profit motive and not much else. However his solution is more laws and regulations. Which will help somewhat, but these are only band-aids on the pus filled wounds of a system that has been infected for centuries. Eventually the same wounds will reappear. If you don't inoculate against the infection we will always have corruption, collusion, people filling prisons, drug cartels, poverty, environmental damage, mental illness, etc. These are all symptoms of the outdated monetary system that we've lived under for centuries but are too afraid to change.

  4749. There was never a "yo yo effect" Kyle. Other than right during the email scandal Hillary has been consistently up for many months now. Everyone in media wants a "horse race", but when you look at the polling the overall trend has been pretty clear for a long time now.
    1
  4750. Girish Seshan Yeah, polls are going to be move up and down (as with any data) and that is why you look at the trend. Which has had Clinton up on average for a really long time. Kyle isn't really analyzing anything, he's basically just saying "Trump is polling higher than I expected and I hate Hillary so therefore Trump might win" which is not based on anything other than wanting to punish Hillary for winning the nomination over Bernie Sanders.
    1
  4751. Girish Seshan That's why you average it out and look at the trend. A football team that wins 1 game out of 20 doesn't give them a 50/50 chance of winning the Superbowl. I don't hate anyone really. Not sure why everyone is so emotional.
    1
  4752. Girish Seshan Bernie had gained a lot, but there was never any indication that he would overtake Hillary. We hoped that he would, but it was just hope and it didn't pan out. Yeah he will say it's rigged, but it's the GOP's fault for appealing to racists, xenophobics, and ignorant voters for years which allowed someone like Trump to take over. I don't like Hillary as a candidate and I don't like some of her ideas, but "hate". Why? She didn't' do anything to me. She's on the right side on like 85% of the issues. All we have to do is push her the remaining 15%.
    1
  4753. Girish Seshan 1. Whether you call those lies, deceptions, or misstatements. None of it is a capital crime. The US has always made weapons deals with the Saudis. Why? because of oil. It's pretty laughable that people think that the US is suddenly favorable towards the Saudis because of the Clinton Foundation when they've been doing the same thing for decades. 2. The people in the DNC knew and supported Clinton because they are all part of the same circles. The same reason why you would support your friends over strangers. There are no strings being pulled here, it's just human nature. 5. Yeah the court thing is pretty bad. Trade deals can be a good thing, but it needs to be transparent and not take away sovereignty. 6. Maybe, Maybe not. She may just maintain the status quo, but she may also surprise us. I think that if she decides something she has the power to push legislation through. Like I said some of our greatest presidents started out as establishment moderates.
    1
  4754. Girish Seshan Well as far as #2 my solution is to get rid of parties. The constitution doesn't have any provision for parties and the very concept (as it exists today) is antithetical to democracy. As soon as you allow people to collude with each other and pick a nominee within a "special club" then essentially you're circumventing the democratic process.

  4755. cjermevpg It only seems not practical because it's something we're not used to. The constitution has no concept of party anywhere in it.

  4757. Here you go again with false equivalence Kyle.... Here are the facts: 1. The Election Assistance Commission which overseas the security of voting machines was indeed hacked by a Russian speaking hacker. He or She obtained over a 100 logins from employees working there and was basically caught trying to sell the information to a foreign government. 2. There were discrepancies in the voting results in the states that Trump carried by very slim margins. Which was precisely the reason why Jill Stein was calling for an audit. Experts say that the machines were "probably" not hacked but there is no way to be sure without an audit. I'm not saying that this is definitive evidence of a Russia hacking the voting machines or anything. However it's not unreasonable that someone could take those facts and the fact that Russia DID try to manipulate this election and believe that the idea that Russia hacked voting machines could be true. 35% said "probably true" only 17% said "definitely true. But is this the same as thinking Hillary Clinton is running a child sex ring from a pizza joint? Fuck no. Thinking that it is plausible that Russia hacked some voting machines is not anywhere near as bat shit crazy as thinking that while Hillary is running for president she's also running a child sex ring out of a pizza place on the side. Sorry but THOSE TWO THINGS ARE NOT EQUIVALENT...

  4761. Jeff Brailsford I still don't understand where you see that he "changed his position". Again, restating what your position was and saying it didn't turn out as well as you hoped isn't "changing your position".
    1
  4762. Jeff Brailsford No, you're confusing nuanced positions with ideological standpoints. Cenk hasn't been talking about regime change for months, he's been talking about it for well over a DECADE. Which started during the Iraq invasion which was done unilaterally without UN support, and on completely false pretenses, and no plan to handle the aftermath. There is no question that it was a bad idea that even led to creation of ISIS. However at no point was he ever unclear about his stance on Lybia. At no point was he unclear how Libiya was different than Iraq and he felt that there was a right way to handle it with the support of the UN and Nato. If you watched TYT at the time you would know how long he deliberated this point before he came to a conclusion based on the thousands of people that were dying at the time. Having a different position depending on the situation is not "changing your opinion", it's being a rational human being.
    1
  4763. Jeff Brailsford Again, he never said his position was "different". He said that he wished that the aftermath was handled better. Which is completely different than changing your opinion on something. Historically the term "flip flop" applies to feckless opinions that change for political reasons and when a politician pretends that he/she had both opinions the entire time. It perfectly applies to Trump, but It does not in any way apply to the situation with Cenk on Libya.

Did you not understand my initial comment? If someone called my mother a stupid bitch then obviously their INTENT was to insult/hurt my mother. Maher's intent was not to insult anyone, only to make a joke at his own expense. However if I know that this person in the grocery store had some kind of medical condition like turret syndrome or something which caused the person to involuntarily say "stupid bitch". Then of course I wouldn't be mad because I know that the INTENT wasn't to insult my mother. Would you at that point beat up a disabled dude?

So when other white people acknowledge racism and talk about it are they "hating white people" too or is it only when non-white people do it?

  4771. Matt Olson So in your mind Clinton is somehow a bigger warmonger because she called for the same policy that Trump actually did. Yeah that's rational. Also name calling doesn't somehow win you an argument.
    1
  4772. -"How can you possibly claim to represent your people if you're taking money from corporations who pay you to do the opposite." Personally I would have no issues with someone who took money indirectly from corporations (which is how it happens unless you're talking about super PACs or 501c4s) if one of their prime objectives as president was campaign finance reform. Keep in mind there is also an argument for "universal disarmament" when it comes to running a campaign, when one candidate will end up with less resources for ads and organizing than the other. It may not matter as much for the presidency since there is so much free advertising from debates, press, etc. However it sure as hell matterswhen it comes to state and local races. Keep in mind that you're running against Trump who's businesses get's billions from corporations. -"I, personally, am perfectly fine accepting that some people think voting for Clinton was necessary and accepting that there is valid reasoning for not trusting her too. Maybe two different ideas can both be valid?" The problem is that one idea objectively leads to Trump winning again when one party is in lockstep on racism, xenophobia, fascism, hatred against "socialism" while the other party is fractured.... If one side is bickering on which candidate is "pure enough" and then decides to take their toys and go home when election time, OF COURSE you're going to end up with Trump again. -"Russia story is a complete digression from the anti-establishment people's movement" No, it's only a digression if you make it out to be. If your mentality is that the Russia thing is nonsense simply because Clinton brought it up, then you're just not being rational. The establishment can be ruining our democracy and Russia (essentially the Russian Establishment/oligarchy) can be manipulating our elections to their benefit. Guess what? BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE! Ignoring a truth simply because it doesn't fit your narrative is not helping. At the very least one party/candidate was hacked while the other party was not, specifically to manipulate the election. That should concern ANYONE. Pretending as if hacked emails show up on your door step by magic with absolutely no agenda is dangerously naive. Once again, bitching about the Deep State, Clinton, the Primaries, "the establishment", is not going to win dick in 2020. I'm more than willing to join a movement on single payer, money out of politics, free college, reducing the pentagon's budget, raising taxes on the Wall St speculation and the wealthy to pay for things in the US, etc. However if you expect me to join "sit around and bitch about the establishment 2020" then sorry I'm not on board.

Working at a place like that is a tough job, no one coming in there is ever in a happy mood and they have to deal with that every single day for hours on end. I've had my car towed plenty of times and as much as it is a completely bullshit situation with the city and these tow companies making money off of people for bullshit reasons, I don't take my frustrations on the cashier sitting behind the window and make fun of them for having a shitty job. Attacking the powerless to make yourself feel better is never a good idea.

  4778. Well I would say voting for the Iraq Resolution is not the same as voting for hundreds of thousands of civilians to be bombed indiscriminately, how that war was executed, Abu Ghiraib, GitMo, Torture, Indefinite Detention Dismantling of the Iraqi government and the army, etc. etc. I like Jill Stein, I hate Trump, and I'm ambivalent towards Hillary. Having Trump win would be embolden a lot of hate in this country. All you have to do is look at Nazi Germany to see what that could do to a country. Hillary may not be the best candidate but she knows how to wield power. If her positions can be moved by the people, which she has shown can be done (At least in the primary) then that potentially could create a new FDR. If not it could create a new Nixon

  4783. kathy kelly  The only thing that data shows is that unemployment increased in 2008 which is kind of the biggest "no brainer" known to man right now. So what was the point of this graph again?  Oh yeah to pretend that teenagers lost jobs because of the minimum wage instead of the Great Recession which drove up unemployment across the board.  Now who would be foolish enough to believe something like that? ;-) Notice that now that the economy is recovering the numbers in 2013 for teenage unemployment are low again.  Shocking...  :-O As 2013 Q4 is as low or even lower than it was in Q1 2008 if you use the unadjusted numbers. So in other words those minimum wage increases had absolutely no effect.
    1
  4784. kathy kelly No it does not, quit lying. Overlay "20 and over" data and you see the exact same shape to the data. In both cases 2013 shows unemployment plummeting because of the recovering economy. Which of course as NOTHING to do with the minimum wage. The problem with ideology is that it blinds you to facts.  The only reason you were able to be tricked so easily by this chart is not because you are stupid, it's because you wanted to believe it.  This is exactly how propaganda is spread.... So instead of helping to create solutions that actually improve the lives of millions of people and their families, you become part of the many drones duped by think tank propaganda into believing something ludicrous so that their funders can save a buck at the expense of people's lives.  It's pretty sick and Orwellian to believe that poor people are better off getting less money.

  4794. --"Most policies are based on values, not science and data." Which is precisely the reason why those policies don't work. Which is why you have more teenage pregnancy in abstinence only areas or more crime in a country with that has more of a percentage of it's population in jail, or no change in in drug use despite a "war on drugs". Creating policy based on your gut simply creates bad policies. --"It is impossible to quantify such things" It's entirely possible to quantify outcomes. However if your focus is on an ideology, religion, or some other dogma rather than a poverty index, homelessness, economic mobility, or income per capita. Then obviously you would be looking for a feeling rather than a result. --"While I fully believe that data and scientific approach is necessary, it is not the only information that should be utilized. The human element has to be taken into consideration." The "human element" is simply deciding what is important in society. For example thinking tax breaks for wealthy people is more important than lifting people out of poverty or that war is more important than education, infrastructure, or health care. After that is decided, there is absolutely no reason that science/data shouldn't take over. The only reason why science isn't a bigger part of policy making is because it's far easier for politicians to win elections based on feelings rather than facts. Then they can keep benefiting themselves and their donors by making sure that reality is kept fuzzy.
    1
  4795. --" Policies like gay marriage, women's suffrage and anti-segregation laws? None of those were based on science." Yes, my point exactly. People (white christian men) created policies based on their own prejudices and biases, so eventually those policies fell apart. --"Unless you are basing the results off of a repeatable, observable, controllable process, you can't determine causality for the outcome" You don't need controllable processes when you have enough data. Thousands of studies are based on statistical analysis where you simply control for extraneous variables to understand outcomes. This is the whole reason why "Climate Science" exists.... We know there is global warming not because we can somehow change the weather, the sun, or the planet's atmosphere and run experiments. We know that man generated CO2 effects the climate because we have enough data to control for many different variables and figure out what the outcome will be based on the existing data. Same reason why the FBI knows that poverty and population density are the biggest factors to violence and crime which can be seen all over the world. --"However, "how" is also just as important to us. We are not a civilization of "we don't care how it get done just so long as it's done" If that were so we would have nuked the Middle East by now." Agreed. Though the constant fear that people have of drones flying over their heads, where children spend their lives being afraid to play outside when the skies are sunny and clear, is not much better. --" I put the blame of that squarely on the people of this nation for choosing to not take an interest in how their country/state/cities are ran and by whom" It's a little of both. There are certainly politicians, people in media, etc. who benefit greatly by keeping people ignorant to what is going on and purposely making it more difficult for people to vote. If voting was mandatory, a national holiday and if all states encouraged absentee ballots, then I think people would be much more interested and we would have better results.

The idea that drinking sodas, eating french fries, ketchup, and hamburger buns all day every day is perfectly fine, but as soon as you put meat in that hamburger bun then suddenly it becomes bad for you is absolutely absurd. The fact is our ancestors where not dying of heart disease and they ate as much if not more meat than we do today. The difference is much of it was wild meat not factory farmed meat. Hippos and elephants Thom? Seriously? All the animals that we identify with cats, dogs, dolphins, etc. are all basically carnivores. You problem with meat is clearly psychological. I guess that means much of the animals on this are somehow stupid or amoral then right? This psychology behind the idea that meat is somehow gross comes from the fact that we've distanced ourselves from our food and our ecosystem. The problem with our agriculture and factory farming in general is sustainability. Until we fix sustainability we will never be in balance with our planet.

  4819. 1. Cherry picking. Ben pretended as if the Southern Strategy wasn't a real thing (or "debunked") based on a couple professors at Pennsylvania. Science is based on academic consensus, not a couple professors dissenting, and the academic consensus is that the Southern Strategy existed and was the primary reason that the South flipped from Democratic to Republican. He then picks out one case of a questionable location where Jimmy Carter gave a speech once and pretends as if that is evidence that the GOP never implemented a Southern Strategy. Which not only doesn't make sense it ignores that fact that this strategy has been well documented in the Nixon, Reagan, and Bush Sr/Jr campaigns as well as admitted by the people who took part in those campaigns. Does it mean that it's the only reason why people voted for republicans? Of course not, but saying that that strategy didn't exist is just a lie.

  4820. 2. Straw man. Ben suggested that the investment that Buddy Roamer's firm (not the individual) made in 2014 was the reason that TYT exists when in fact TYT existed 12 years prior to that and was already the #1 online news network.

  4821. 4. Conflating different topics. When talking about campaign financing and the fact that the wealthy and corporations influence politicians through their donations. Ben once again brings up Buddy Roamer's firm investing in TYT. as if the topics are somehow related. Investing in a private business where you hope to make money, is not the same as giving campaign donations. You're not supposed to buy influence over a politician to make you money and create laws that effect other people. Anyone who even suggests that doesn't have the first idea how democracy is supposed to work.

Cave Johnson There are numerous studies proving that there is a disparity if you are non-white when it comes to marketing, hiring, promotions, perceptions of violence/age perception, prosecutions, sentencing, etc.  It's fairly easy to search for these studies if you're truly interested.   Of course you don't feel privileged, that's the point....  It's just a term, no need to get bent out of shape over it.  It doesn't mean that you're a bad guy, it doesn't mean you're racist or bigoted.  It just means that in a western European based society you go through life completely unaware of the effect your race has on your life.  Unlike someone who's Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, middle-eastern, etc.  It's just an aspect of the society we've created.  If you were in a different country like Japan or Singapore you might experience Asian-Privilege.  Although some Asian countries are more favorable to Caucasians actually. So it's a societal issue that we need to be aware of and mitigate. It's not a personal one.  However understanding this dynamic instead of just pretending it doesn't exist would be helpful to you personally in being more well rounded in your thinking. 
    1
  4836. Cave Johnson  Yet you're proving the term to be appropriate with your comments... Discounting science and the scientific process just because it's a conclusion you don't agree with is just irrational.  If you actually read that study you would know that they purposely left out odd sounding names (because gee maybe they thought of that already?), but that would require you to give a damn instead of just pulling assumptions out of your ass. Although a person's name shouldn't matter. Hell, we have president named Barack Obama after all.

  4837. This isn't proof that Misogyny is worse than Racism. It's no worse than statements made about Obama. The only difference is that it is more difficult to openly make threats against a sitting president so he adds "tried and convicted" in order to make it not seem like a direct threat.

Just fucking Google "FBI Obama Effigy".... If you think those rules should apply to one president and not another then the word "partisan hack" comes to mind. Like I said, the FBI was doing their JOB. It would be one thing If they punished her in some way, but all they did was talk to her for an hour to asses the situation. She'll be fine.

  4842. I knew Clinton would win.... Maybe the only reason you didn't is because you fell into the same ole trap the media always falls into of wanting a "horse race"..... You also wanted a referendum on "the establishment". Without that bias it should have been OBVIOUS from the constant lead Hillary has had for months and the fact that Trump's campaign never knew WTF they were doing.
    1
  4843. It's sad that our political system is driven by nothing except emotions. People identify with Trump in one way or another so therefore they will vote for him and make excuses for his lack of actual policy ideas, his bad behavior, and sexual assault. Even sadder is that many of these people were against Trump until he became "the anointed one".

  4852. pauljackowacko552 People who think online polls mean anything, are quite a silly bunch. They are less accurate than a like/dislike ratio on a youtube video. Also apparently you didn't search very hard: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/26/1574760/-Clinton-CRUSHES-Trump-in-post-debate-polls
    1
  4853. pauljackowacko552 I don't think you understand that online polls are only indicative of 1. people who visit that site and 2. people who are motivated enough to respond. Again, online polls are no different than the like/dislike ratio on a youtube video and is not statistically meaningful in any way. The CNN poll is far more accurate. Which actually has a methodology behind it, not a simple like/dislike button.
    1
  4854. pauljackowacko552 Yes I'm preferring a poll where they use actual polling methods, as opposed to a like button on the internet. If you don't know the difference then I suggest taking a course on statistics 101. They even have a link to the polling methodology they used and even admit to a slight bias in the data. Also If you think the the "drudge report" is an unbiased source then I question your judgement.
    1
  4855. pauljackowacko552 Again, your sources are Trump's twitter account and another online poll... Do you not understand how unbaised polling works? Do you know how easy it is for someone to vote multiple times in an online poll? Again, true polling comes from random sampling from a confirmed group of debate watchers (like the CNN poll) where they actually call and verify that it's a real person who watched the debate. It doesn't come from a bunch of trolls on the internet. It would literally take me about 30 minutes to write a program to trick an online poll to skew it for one candidate or another.
    1
  4856. pauljackowacko552 Again, there is a difference between a scientific poll and an unscientific online poll. You seem to be wanting opinion to outweigh scientific based methods.
    1
  4857. pauljackowacko552 You're like a little kid who hasn't learned the difference between facts and imagination. How exactly is CNN funded by HRC and did you actually look at the methodology? Probably not since all you seem to care about is a number on a website, but here it is: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/09/27/poll.pdf
    1
  4858. pauljackowacko552 Does their commentary and programming somehow magically make the poll unscientific? No it doesn't. The poll was done by ORC on behalf of CNN ORC was founded by Gallup. You know the guy who kind of invented the "Gallup Poll" which became a basis for all scientific polling... Again, it appears that your want opinions and facts to mean the same thing. It is truly sad that people think that scientific statistical polling that has been developed and proven over decades is the same as online polls. Sigh...

  4862. Whether it was Russia or not, you guys were being LED BY THE NOSE..... The press can't help but cover leaked "secrets" because the can't avoid a possible scandal. ALL MEDIA is based around the latest scandal. All you have to do to manipulate the media is to leak secrets from one candidate in order to manipulate an election. It's the most obvious thing in the world. And before you say "well it doesn't change the fact that the emails were real and we have to report on the facts". Do you honestly think that Trump would be president if all of his private emails were leaked? Not a chance. This is the easiest trick in the world and I kind commend Russia for coming up with it, because obviously our press is too stupid to catch on. And TYT fell for it just as hard as everyone else. Stop pretending that you didn't. Stop pretending that you weren't dismissing the Russian angle just as much as everyone else.

  4867. This is why the left is eating itself and why we will lose again 2020.... You spend half the time dwelling about one endorsement based on a political calculation and little time talking about her numerous accomplishments. Never mind the fact that the political calculation was done to make sure she could get more of these policies on the table during a Clinton administration. But it's not good enough for you because she's not as pure as Bernie with her endorsements (which are fucking meaningless anyway). Apparently these endorsements mean more to you than actual policy. Good luck with trying to make sure every Democratic politician and candidate is as pure as Bernie in 3 years, because I'm sure bitching and moaning about Democratic purity will defeat Trump in 2020.
    1
  4868. What's your point? Trump is even more corrupt and just as much of a hawk. While at the same time being completely incompetent at running the white house, handling secrets, dealing with our allies, and generally making us look like a COMPLETE FOOLS to the rest of the world because of how seriously incompetent he is. Not to mention destroying our healthcare so that TENS OF THOUSANDS of Americans will die just to give more tax cuts to the rich. Not to mention the EPA, Education, a racist AG, a travel ban that makes us all look racist, deporting immigrants and creating a special hotline to report immigrant crime. If you think that is somehow better than Clinton then I seriously question your sanity. People are so deranged when it comes to hating Hillary that they can't even see straight.

  4870. Andrew Alfieri There is absolutely no context when using Mutt with people where it is not insulting. Please look at a dictionary... Every online dictionary has the usage of Mutt as an insult. Trying to justify it as not insulting only serves to make you you worse than you already do. Adding a curse word to "mutt" doesn't make it insulting. The word "mutt" in of itself is an insult. Again "biracial", "mixed" are all terms used for people with interracial parents. "Mutt" is not one of these terms and any adult should be intelligent enough to know this.
    1
  4871. Andrew Alfieri It as a negative connotation because every adult and most children knows that it is used as an insult for dogs and especially for people. Are you somehow implying that the teacher was unaware of this? Of course they were, so it makes your entire argument silly and absurd.

  4876. Despicably Irascible Rapscallion I'm responding to the part where Cenk said "you're welcome" as if he was the reason that Bernie is now talking about money in politics.  I know it was tongue in cheek.  However since Cenk is only recently a Bernie supporter he probably doesn't realize how long Bernie has been talking about campaign finance reform and even introducing legislation to change it.

  4885. Num Raw No they don't...  Hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of jobs out there are not science or engineering.  Not even close....  You're talking about a fraction of 1% of the population.   And the people in high paying jobs are are usually management or executives and they don't know squat as far as math or hardly anything technical for that matter.   I'm in the top of my field for software engineering and 99.999% of the time I use basic math.  I also worked in the financial industry for 2 years at one of the leading asset management companies in the world.  Only a handful of people in the Quantitative Analyst departments really used high level math and high level statistical analysis to study markets.  Those guys were impressive, however 99.5% of the company were completely clueless when it came to that stuff. Furthermore my father and a friend of mind both majored in Chemistry and they both probably used it for the first couple years of their career and after that they both fell in to sales and basically never had to really know anything technical about chemistry ever again after that. The people who work in labs doing real chemistry generally make very little money. Generally the people doing real research also don't make very much. I'm not saying math isn't important in general.  Just that it will never be important and never be needed by over 98% of the population.

    1
  4889. Yellyman Gonzales Yeah the republicans are corrupt, but the whole point of the movement is to NOT have a corrupt candidates.  Do you think a Superhero is going to turn to the Superhero standing next to him and say:  "Well the villains are also stealing from jewelry stores, why are you making a big deal about me stealing every once in awhile?".  Do you think people in the anti-slavery movement would say "You act like no one has never beaten and lynched a black man before.  Why are you singling me out for doing it?".  BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GET RID OF THE CORRUPTION.  I'm sorry if you think that it's okay as long as everyone does it, but for many people it is the #1 problem in our political system today.  I can't trust that a corrupted politician is going to do what she/he says they are going to do anymore than I can trust a corrupted transmission to get my car to work safely every day.  Shutting up about the corruption and putting your support behind a candidate, just because you're afraid of supreme court justices is not going to solve the problem.  The whole reason why we're in this position in the first place and that we have the court that we have is BECAUSE of the corruption.  It's almost a guarantee that Hillary would nominate a slightly less right wing judge, just like Obama nominate a slightly less right wing judge,  You're never going to win against evil by voting for lesser evil.  Hillary refuses to even try to win over Bernie Sanders.   So blame Hillary for not trying, not sanders supporters who refuse to vote against their conscious and fall in line with corrupt politics as usual.

However It's time we vote for something not just against the worse guy...  I want Bernie to go all the way to the convention and if he doesn't win then I want Hillary to honestly win our vote not expect an automatic coronation and not expect every democrat to just fall in line.  Change won't come unless we demand it.  FDR was part of the establishment but he was made into the politician that was needed at the time.

  4892. +Zedek Actually you don't need a corpse you only need a missing person and evidence of fowl play. Not sure what you think the "corpse" is in this case, but it is a fact that FBI and other intelligence agencies firmly believe that Russia did in fact hack the DNC and the Clinton campaign. It is also a fact that Russia was waging a propaganda campaign against Clinton and some of that propaganda ended up in Trump's hands during his campaign. It isn't separate from collusion because the job of the FBI is to find out who all was involved and why. Just like when someone is dead or missing, you find look into who may have benefited from that person dying. Not looking into two high levels officials in Trump's campaign who actually received payments from Russia or how the RNC platform was suddenly changed to remove Russian sanctions when that was never a Republican party concern would be stupid. Trump's former campaign manager who had been working for Russia for years just registered as a foreign agent. To not look into that at all, would be also be negligent. I assume that you also thought that Clinton's email server shouldn't have been investigated either since there was never evidence that anything was ever leaked right? Otherwise you would be a total hypocrite. But sure go ahead and tell the FBI how to do investigations. I'm sure you're much more qualified than two former directors of the FBI who are taking this case extremely seriously.

  4898. Gene Starwind I don't think it's illogical at all to think that Trump would be worse for the country than Hillary. If you think that he is a fascist, unstable, and wants to target civilians, and bring back torture, It's not an irrational position to have. To me, crying like babies whenever he makes that argument just because we want Bernie to win, is much more irrational.

  4900. Gene Starwind No one said it was good. Again preferring Hillary over Trump and making sure that a Trump presidency doesn't happen while at the same time supporting Bernie's positions and supporting Bernie going all the way to the convention is not an irrational argument.

  4902. SuperEvilC I refuse to vote for Hillary as well, but at the same time it's rational to think of her as a much better option than Trump. She voted for authorization for the Iraq War which was a bad vote that a lot of Democrats also voted for. She would basically continue Obama's policies for the most part. However Trump would actively start WW3 because his ego doesn't know how to back down or let anything go. He's only running for president and he's already sparked hatred and protests in the middle-east and mexico. Having a guy like that in office is nothing to joke around with.

  4904. TonyisGaming I knew what you were getting at. I just see that as the same mentality of thinking we can treat all life like machines....  Whenever we've tried to industrialize our food or create fake versions of food we've only succeeded in creating unhealthy products (trans fats, HFCS, soy, pesticides, aspartame, certain GMOs, and a slew of other things).  For me the best solutions lie in permaculture and other forms of sustainable ecosystems (aquaponics, etc.).  People forget that plants just don't grow from nothing... They also need food and today that comes from a lot of fossil fuel based fertilizers. Instead of having all of these mono-crops that rely primarily on fertilizers (fossil fuels), pesticides (also made from fossil fuels), and destroying our top soil we maintain self sustaining ecosystems.  Where plants and animals live symbiotically like they are meant to in nature anyway. It might mean changing the types of meats that we eat, but you cannot talk about sustainability without animals.   We also let life/farms thrive in our cities and incorporated into our city planning (roofs, greenspace, etc) rather than keeping it as something separate that gets trucked or shipped in over vast distances wasting even more fossil fuels.

    1
  4907. Kyle... The 3rd leading cause of death in the US is doctors and in some years it has been the #1 cause. So yeah lets keep things in perspective.... Regular doctors kill far more people in this country than alternative medicine practitioners any day of the week... Now I'm not saying go to a Shaman when you have cancer or anything, but this idea that there are not benefits to alternative medicine and there are only benefits to regular medicine is just not true. There are studies that show that chiropractic care is better at releaving long term back pain than most methods. Why was your friend addicted to pain killers? Probably because a doctor thought it would be a good idea to prescribe as many as he wanted. Cannabis was also thought of as a crazy "alternative medicine" that only hippies, but now they are finding that those crazy hippies were right in many cases. Not to mention placebo effects with alternative medicine, even if it doesn't work it can still work... Again not saying we should pray away our illnesses, but we shouldn't bash every alternative medicine out there because there is a lot of shit out there that modern medicine just hasn't caught up to yet.
    1
  4908. Big Dick Bob No, I think I got his point quite clearly when he said that anything that is called "alternative medicine" is automatically bad and you should run away from it. It's a dangerously closed minded opinion, based on nothing more than a bias he's built up over the years. Again, if everyone thought that way then Cannibis as a medicine or pain therapy would be nowhere today. People today think of Cannabis as a "duh, well of course that has medicinal properties", but for many years it was laughed at as some fringe alternative medicine for hippies and completely shunned by the medical community.

Not sure why this is now a requirement. 2. The comments from that "gynecologist" are only critical of the flowery verbiage used to describe the product. NEWS FLASH: pretty much every female beauty, etc. product uses stupid language like that. I'm pretty sure people don't actually take it literally. 3. I'm a guy and even I know that kegel exercises are not a bad thing. What's the big deal selling a stone to do it? 4. You're worried about possible yeast or bacteria on a rock? Seriously? People take their genitals and shove them in other people's bacteria infested genitals, mouths, asses, etc. Yet a rock has you worried? Sorry, but someone who shoves an unsterile metal object in your ear every day just for looks shouldn't complain about a rock in someone's v-jay-jay.

  4911. Hamilton was wrong and the Electoral College should have been abolished a long time ago. Without the electoral college TRUMP WOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT because he did not get the popular vote! So all this bullshit about the electors voting against their state wouldn't be an issue. This isn't 1782, who gives a shit about states when it comes to the presidency? Every few generations this country moves towards democracy and this is no exception. All the undemocratic institutions need to be abolished. Remove the Electoral College and implement ranked voting.

Slavery, Genocide, Murder, Incest, there is almost nothing off limits when it comes to dark humor. If it didn't have meaning, then it wouldn't be "dark" now would it? If you can't appreciate sarcasm or dark themes then I suggest you stay away from actual dark humor. However people who actually get sarcasm and dark humor probably found it quite funny.
    1

  4916. d dave So I'm guessing by "tens of thousands of whites in south africa being killed" you're referring to deaths that occurred over the course of decades? By that logic I'm sure you think that black people are facing genocide in the US as well? Maybe it's not called genocide because it isn't real genocide, but you sure like playing the victim huh?

  4917. d dave You sure know how to "straw man" a comment, but I'm not the type to fall for that sort of thing. My response to your comment was to clarify what you meant by white genocide in south Africa and IF you were referring to thousands of people being killed over the course of a couple decades then by that logic you would think that black people being killed disproportionately in the US is also "genocide" You are perfectly free to clarify and substantiate your statement, but please don't reply with straw man arguments again. It's silly.

Otherwise you will have low turn out overall and the only people who will turn up up at the polls are people who hate Hillary and the establishment.

No one brings up the fact that he raped his ex-wife, his allegations molesting underaged girls, his own foundation paying off politicians and giving himself gifts. His dealings with Mob. Him asking foreign nationals for campaign donations, which is illegal. His own scandels with campaign managers one being paid by the Kremlin to do propaganda.

  4934. A couple things: 1. Sure, the highest donors getting ambassadorships happens in the republican party all the time and has been happening since the founding of this country as well as in countries all over the world. I don't think saying that means that you're "numb" to the idea. It's just putting the problem into perspective. There are many systemic problems in our government at the local, state, and federal level. If you pretend that a problem is localized or only the fault of one individual then you're not really addressing the problem. 2. You shouldn't take everything "the government" says at face value. At the same time, if the FBI or CIA has a source it's probably not in their best interests to compromise that source by revealing it to the public. However you should be able to surmise what is likely to be true based on where it's coming from and who else is substantiating that claim. Obviously a politician has more incentive to lie than people working at the FBI. Though just saying "I don't trust the government" is just too Alex Jonesy

  4940. Sustainable agriculture is not one only based on plants. If you try to do that then you're basically supporting agriculture that is largely base on oil in the form of petrochemicals used for fertilizer and pesticides as well as machinery (trucks, tractors, etc.). That sort of thinking is killing our top soil and killing off the bee population... You need BOTH plants AND animals in order to create a proper ecosystem. Pretending that the current agricultural methods are sustainable if we just remove animals is stupid. All that does is make the machine run a little longer, when in reality we need a new way of farming altogether.
    1
  4941. Joe Crockenberg Proven by whom using what? Plants don't grow from nothing they need lots of nutrients in the soil which come from various microorganisms and animals. This is a balance that has been maintained by nature for BILLIONS of years. You simply can't take animals out of the equation and expect sustainable results. Permacutlure and other closed loop agricultural systems is the long term answer to our problems. Not simply substituting one monocrop for another and feeling good about yourself while eating huge carbon producing crops like lettuce and broccoli while destroying the top soil and billions of insects, birds, and other small animals in the process. It means supporting sustainable agriculture and local sources of food. A lot of that does change the type of vegetables and animals we eat, but it is far more complicated than choosing not to eat meat.
    1
  4942. Joe Crockenberg Yeah, some plants are nutrient dense. It doesn't mean that they can just "fertilize themselves" for any and all scenarios. If that were the case then the entire industrial farming industry wouldn't be completely dependent on chemical fertilizers. You can't simply take the food we're giving to animals and give them to people and expect everything will be fine because that's not how it works. It doesn't stop the damage that monocrops cause, it doesn't stop our top soil from being depleted and it doesn't stop our dependency on petrochemicals, it doesn't stop the destruction of ecosystems, and the killing of billions of insects, small animals, and microflora. It's basically the equivalent of patching a larger hole with a smaller hole when in reality what we need is a new boat. Permaculture, Aquaculture, and sustainable agriculture that uses the natural symbiotic relationship between plants and animals to create an sustainable ecosystem is the way to go. It's foolish to think that we can change the way life has been sustained on this planet for billions of years and create factories out of a plot of land to produce a single plant or a single animal.
    1
  4943. Joe Crockenberg Tell me what purpose does keeping trillions of plants as food serve? Again our growing practices today are still unsustainable and until we need to start creating ecosystems where plants, animals, and microflora work together instead of monocrops and factory farms. If we don't we will continue to rely on fossil fuels, GMOs, we will continue to destroy out topsoil, and we will continue to damage our planet. Having a crusade against one type of life doesn't solve that. I'm sorry, it just doesn't.
    1
  4944. Joe Crockenberg Well I can definitely say the same for your comment and logic. For one thing we already produce enough food to feed the world 1 1/2 times over. The problem with hunger has always been economics not production. Secondly I've already explained my comments several times. However no matter how many times I explain it, you seem to be incapable of escaping the paradigm that you're in. AGAIN..... The problem with sustainability is monocrops and factory farms (which is just another monocrop for animals). Any monocrop is a unbalanced and relies on a lot of energy and fossil fuels to maintain. Again, this continue no matter if you decide to be vegetarian or not. Sustainability comes from creating localized ecosystems which involve plants AND animals. Forests, jungles, marshes, reefs, etc. these are all ecosystems based on plants AND animals. These are close looped systems where the animals sustain plants and the plants sustain animals. This is the most This is the principle behind things like permaculture, aquaculture, "forest farming", etc. If you actually care about sustainability I suggest you look into this instead of just thinking that eating only vegetables is fixing the environment when it's not.... There are even vegetables that have a higher carbon footprint than some animals.
    1
  4945. Joe Crockenberg I explained myself very clearly, but it's obvious that you're not being a rational actor here and that you care more about your cause than the environment.... Keep in mind that your original comment was on the environment " Plants are much more nutrient dense. " Actually that is not correct. When it comes to calories animals are far more dense than plants. When it comes to vitamins it all depends on the animal (and part of the animal) and plant you are comparing. Furthermore Insects are more nutrient dense than pretty much anything, There are also vitamins we need that mainly come from animals, such as B12, CLA, creatine, carnosine, & DHA, Again, this is basic "circle of life" stuff. If you think that all plants can survive by just eating themselves and growing from nothing then you have an incomplete picture of what an ecosystem looks like. Animals provide nutrients in the soil, they keep plants from overgrowth, they (chickens, ducks, etc) keep insects in check so pesticides become less necessary. You need to stop looking at life as a factory. I suggest watching the BBC documentary A Farm for the future: https://vimeo.com/136857929
    1
  4946. Joe Crockenberg Again, we also bred vegetables, grains, and fruits into existence. What's your point? All the plants you eat are also the result of genetic manipulation. Again, my entire point is to get away from factory farms and monocrops. Calories are food energy which is the bases for any metabolic activity in the body. B12, CLA, and the other nutrients I mentioned are important. And come in higher concentrations in pasture raised animals. Sigh... The reason you don't know these things is because you don't know about your food. Did even you know that Ducks, Chickens, and other birds eat bugs? They pick the bugs off plants and keep certain populations in check. Their droppings also keep grasses and pastures fertilized. . Cows belong in pastures their primary diet is grass. NOT corn. They also eat various shrub and leaves. In other words they're designed to eat all the plants that WE DON'T EAT.... They are not designed to eat corn and all the other garbage we give them in feedlots. Again, agriculture today is not sustainable..period . Do you not get that? It is not "green", it is only "greener" than animals because of our factory farming methods. However if you take away all the animals YOU STILL HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM.... People like you don't seem to get that because you're so caught up in your ideology that you cannot see straight. The entire farming production cycle is completely dependent on oil from the fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, transportation, etc. However If we move to sustainable farming methods like permaculture, aquaculture, and sustainable farming methods that uses the right symbiotic relationship between plants and animals as they have lived for BILLIONS of years then we can COMPLETELY ELIMINATE the carbon footprint of food production and rely on NO OIL.

    1
  4952. ***** And social spending was practically non existent before "those times" and we had massive poverty, homelessness, and finally the great depression.  What's your point?  Google "Hoovervilles".   After a period of low taxes following a series of cuts following WW1, inequality rose sharply.  Then the economy bubbled,  collapsed, and fell into the Great Depression.
    1
  4953. ***** Nice argument you got there.  Discount facts, say XYZ slogan, pretend it's an actually argument, then repeat. Sorry, but my original argument on taxes is completely backed by the data on inequality from 1910-2010.  And the detrimental effects of inequality have been proven by research in the US and UK.  Your posturing doesn't change that.
    1
  4954. *****  It's not an "opinion" when the data is clearly available.   http://inequality.org/income-inequality/ But clearly there are people who would rather ignore data and not even look for it, because the opinions given to them based on a feel good ideology are more important than reality.

  4955. Agreement isn't saying "you agree" while asserting something completely false.   For one tax collections as a percent of GDP are at about a 50-60 year low.  Secondly my entire post is about managing inequality not overall tax collections.  It pretty silly to think that if you collect X amount of taxes or spend Y amount of money then somehow everything will magically work.  That it somehow it doesn't matter how you're collecting those taxes or what you are spending that money on.... I certainly doubt you go through life not caring how you make money or how you spend it.  It makes all the difference to most people and it makes all the difference to a functioning society.

  4963. As a black dude I find this kind of hyperbole disgusting... Yes black people on average have more challenges in this country with poverty, opportunity, education, incarceration, and police harassment than white people. But to say "welcome to black America" when talking about a police state is generalizing and silly. Some black Americans living in the inner city do probably feel like they live in a police state, but then again there are some Hispanic Americans and some white Americans that also live in that situation. There are also lots of black Americans living in suburbia that don't at all... There are nuances here that shouldn't be ignored and making those kind of general divisive statements against an entire race does not help.

  4967. Keith Voltaire As I already said in my comment the problem is making blanket statements.  Not all black people face these problems and not all white people don't.  So when you say something like "welcome to black America" not only are you being incorrect and ignoring the Hispanics and other groups facing poverty and violence, but you are being needlessly divisive.  Instead of addressing the issue you're picking a fight.

  4969. It's kind of a disservice that every discussion on meat and sustainability centers around beef and dairy. It's also a disservice to not discuss things like permaculture and aquaculture as sustainable methods. We grow food like machines rather than respecting nature and understanding how ecosystems work. Not eating meat isn't going to solve the problem. We need to understand the relationship between animals and plants and understand how to build self sustaining systems rather than factory farms and industrial agriculture.

  4971. Sorry Kyle, but you need to stop pretending as if events don't effect elections. It was 10 days before the election when Comey made his statement. It was TWO MONTHS when Christie hugged Obama. One was a fake scandal that turned up NOTHING, the other was the president doing his fucking job after a crises. Do I think it still helped Obama to look presidential before an election? OF COURSE it did. Just like It's obvious that being in a middle of a war helped Bush get reelected. But to imply that the entire email scandal had NO EFFECT on Hillary's eventual defeat is nonsense. The first thing people bring up for why they don't trust Hillary is the email scandal. Clearing Hillary 2 days before the election MEANT NOTHING after 6 months of her getting pounded on it. Trump was saying all the way up until the election that he would investigate Hillary on those emails if he was elected because people still believed that there was something to be found there. Yes Hillary was establishment, yes she wasn't a great candidate, and yes that effected her numbers as well, but you really need to stop pretending as if the entire election was just that and nothing else.... You're being just as myopic as the people you're complaining about. Furthermore Comey''s statements immediately put an end to the talk about Trump's sex scandals which was causing his poll numbers to plummet. Hillary won the popular vote. With an election as close as it was, do you honestly think all the scandals and wikileaks wouldn't effect it? Of course it did. Stop pretending as if this was an single issue election.

  4976. No Kyle. The right response would have been: "Yes Putin has done some horrible things and that is not how you run a free country, however the US is also not so innocent and we have our own issues to work on". The way Trump phrased it is that he's making excuses for authoritarianism not condemning it. That's the part you're missing out on. Bernie Sanders would have made it clear that the behavior is wrong NO MATTER WHO DOES IT.... You're falling for the classic Trump trick that he used throughout the campaign where he says an obvious truth to get people on his side, while also not saying it's a bad thing. He said that Washington is full of cronyism and corruption while proceeding to fill his cabinet with cronyism and corruption. He said that the Iraq was a disaster, yet he has no problems invading Iraq and stealing all the oil. He certainly has no problem with torture "even if it doesn't work". Do you think Trump would have a problem with imprisoning journalists if he could get away with it? He would jump at the chance. You're jumping on a single line in the interview while completely ignoring the context. You and the mainstream media need to just stop. They're being pulled in one direction and you're being pulled in another and it's all bullshit.

  4983. SatanicBunny Again, multiple women claiming rape is in fact evidence in any rape case.  I don't know how you can be oblivious to this.  What "evidence" are you referring to exactly?  Do you think rape is usually recorded?  Do you think everyone who is raped is immediate taken to the hospital to get fingerprints and bodily fluids?  Your comment is nothing more than misogyny.
    1
  4984. ***** Uh.. no.  Not at all.  Multiple women coming forward is precisely the evidence needed to convince a jury.  What "evidence" are you referring to exactly?  Do you think rapists record their acts?  Do you think victims save the semen afterwards?  Do yourself a favor and replace your use of "evidence" with "I just don't trust women", because that's essentially what you're saying here.
    1
  4985. *****   -"I rather have 1000 guilty people walk free than one innocent person convicted. And that's how the justice system is set up." Actually no, innocent people get jailed all the time and with far less evidence.  Just not those who have a lot of money, power, and respect in society.  Which is why Cosby get's so many defenders whereas if it were a poor black teen with a dozen women claiming rape, it wouldn't even be a conversation, people would be calling for his head.
    1
  4986. SatanicBunny Again, I'm tired of repeating myself.  There are literally thousands of rape cases based on mostly victim accounts and the plausibility of their claims.  I can list a dozen people later found innocent who were convicted on nothing more than witness testimony and if you spent 2 seconds on Google you could find the same.  Respectfully you clearly I have no idea what you're talking about. If 10 people claimed I stole from them 10 years ago, it is entirely plausible that I am a thief, because 10 random people accusing a random stranger of being a thief at the same time for absolutely no reason is completely unlikely to happen.  If I ask 10 people what time it is and only one gives a different time.  I'm probably going to believe the 10 people. The reason why we have trials is to determine if by some miracle those 10 people were wrong or if there is strong evidence contradicting their claims.  However if the claim is plausible and you can convince a jury, then you can get a conviction. By your logic if a terrorist bomb went off and 5 people identified the person responsible there should be no investigation into that person without other physical evidence magically appearing.
    1
  4987. SatanicBunny- "The amount of claims made does not change the probability of the claims being correct " Sure it does...  If every claim has equal opportunity of being true or false you would have to assume that there is a 50/50 chance that the claim was true. In other words their is a 50/50 chance that a rape or attempted rape has occurred.  Each claim has the same odds of being correct, however the more claims you have the more likely it is that a rape or attempted rape occurred.  This is no different than increasing the likelihood of getting "heads" the more you toss a coin. You on the other hand want us to believe that each claim has less weight than being "innocent of rape or attempted rape" and furthermore you want us to believe that the more claims there are actually decreases the odds that previous claims are correct.  This is completely illogical.  It's based on an assumption and bias that all the women are lying, which you haven't provided any evidence for. You asked for links for people convicted based on testimony alone and I gave that to you. Clearly you want to just ignore the fact that you were wrong.  
    1
  4988. SatanicBunny  Logically and mathematically I am correct. Your assumption that all the claims are wrong or lying unless you have "other evidence" (whatever that is) is really just a reflection of your own bias.
    1
  4989. SatanicBunny Comparing the citing of a fictional creature that is not known to exist is completely different than claiming you were raped by someone you had a known association with.  Just like if I told you that I read "To Kill a Mockingbird" in high school it is far more plausible than if I told you I was abducted by aliens in high school.  Your assertion is that somehow all claims are the same, they're not.  Again, if you're placing the claims of all these women on the same plausibility level as "seeing a real life Yeti" then it's more of a reflection of your own bias towards these women than anything else.   The reality is you have conversations with your friends, family, and colleagues every day and you are told things that you automatically believe without "evidence".  However in the case of these women you have a different standard, you automatically assume they are all lying.
    1
  4990. Goobzor The more claims of rape the higher the probability that a rape occurred.  This is the whole reason why prosecutors have multiple victims take the stand to show a pattern of behavior.  However it's clear based on your comments that you simply have a bias against all of these women. First off rape is one of the most underreported crimes, only a tiny fraction of rapes and sexual assaults ever get reported.  Furthermore men in positions of power hardly ever get reported on because women fear the repercussions of making such an accusation.  Just making a claim against someone like Cosby could easily destroy your career when you're just starting out.
    1
  4991. SatanicBunny  1. Which is why using the implausible existence of a fiction creature doesn't imply to the plausibility that a rape did occur. 2. The claim can only be true or false.  If your assertion are that these claims are all false then your claim is that all of these women are lying, mistaken, or crazy.  You haven't provided a shred of evidence to suggest that a dozen or so women are somehow all lying independently
    1
  4992. SatanicBunny Again, your assertion is that all of these women are lying and you're clearly showing your bias. So you need to stop pretending that you're making any kind of objective evaluation and instead admit that you have some "gut feeling" that all of these women are liars. Personally I think that bias is rooted in misogyny because there is nothing presented here that would suggest that all of these women are lying and all of these women have anything to gain by lying.

  4993. *****  If you're being logical, then what's more likely?  1 person lying about 40 cases who has everything to lose if any of those cases are proven true or 40 people lying about one person?  My point is that this situation is not comparable with people who simply have religious belief in something intangible so it isn't logical at all to look at it in the same way.   If I accuse you of something that happened between us and you deny it then either I am lying or you are lying or one of of is deranged.   So when you weigh the likelihood of 40 people lying or deranged vs. one individual lying then it's not irrational for people to assume that it's more likely that the 1 person is lying.

  4994. ***** 1. Mass delusions effect a lot  of people over a specific incident.  They don't effect separate cases over the course of 40 years.  So this is extremely unlikely.   2. A trial is not a "witch hunt".  Trials are part of  "due process".  I think you know the difference between a trial and a witch hunt.   I think Cosby has been treated entirely different than most African american males with similar accusations, because he has wealth and influence.  He's not in jail.  He was simply being criticized (and defended) in the media and at some point hopefully a trial will take place and all the facts will come out.

  4995. ***** I never asserted his guilt only the likelihood of his guilt based on deduction, and based on that likelihood he should be put to a trial so that all the evidence against him can be presented and vetted.  That's been my stance since the beginning of all this.

  4996. I wonder if all the Cosby defenders are still calling all those women liars and pretending that evidence isn't evidence and that rape victims don't deserve any kind of trial or justice simply because Cosby is a celebrity.

  4997. Kaze Do you have any clue why people (including Trump) are asking for safe zones? So that innocent people trying to escape the violence don't get killed. OF COURSE it doesn't have to do with ISIS, it has to to do with HUGE refugee crisis.... DUH! Do you not realize that bombings in Syria are pretty indiscriminate and people have no place to escape from getting killed by the bombardments from Russia and Assad? Sure we should work with Russia, but you must realize that working with Russia is easier said than done.... They have their own agenda (as do we). You can't be so naive to think that if you just sing kumbaya then all the Russian leaders will just go "Sure let's work together!" and we will magically create a perfect partnership. Sorry but that's dumb. I'm all for diplomacy, but if you think that the US is the only country that does horrible things in the middle-east and takes advantage of situations for their own ends then you are extremely naive. Yes Russia has been hacking the US and Yes Russia has been trying to manipulate the presidential election. They are not doing this out of the kindness of their heart and they are not helping Assad out of the kindness of their heart either.

  4998. Leondegrance2 A "no fly zone" doesn't imply anything other than "no fly zone". There are a dozen ways of implementing it. I honestly don't think Clinton is that stupid to suddenly start destroying Russian planes and bases of operation. I really don't. There is really nothing in her past or rhetoric that would suggest such a thing. She is basically continuing the same Obama foreign policy that she was a part of. A lot of people take the words "no fly zone" and extrapolate all sorts of things, but really all she's ever said is to create safe zones in order to stem the refugee crises. Furthermore we also don't know if she could be just using vague language on purpose as political posturing in order to get them to a deal. The state department did a lot of pressuring, posturing, and sanctions with Iran in order to get them to the table for a nuclear deal. Could be a similar thing with Russia.

The idea that drinking sodas, eating french fries, ketchup, and hamburger buns all day every day is perfectly fine, but as soon as you put meat in that hamburger bun then suddenly it becomes bad for you is absolutely absurd. The fact is our ancestors where not dying of heart disease and they ate as much if not more meat than we do today. The difference is much of it was wild meat not factory farmed meat. Hippos and elephants Thom? Seriously? All the animals that we identify with cats, dogs, dolphins, etc. are all basically carnivores. You problem with meat is clearly psychological. I guess that means much of the animals on this are somehow stupid or amoral then right? This psychology behind the idea that meat is somehow gross comes from the fact that we've distanced ourselves from our food and our ecosystem. The problem with our agriculture and factory farming in general is sustainability. Until we fix sustainability we will never be in balance with our planet.

  5003. Paul van de Loo No that's just how people on the right characterize those positions because they don't know anything else and they don't bother diving into these topics. I could show you the numbers on how wages have stagnated over the past few decades relative to productivity, that based on inflation the minimum wage is lower than it was in the 60s, that increasing the minimum wage can stimulate the economy and in cases where minimum wage was increased there was no economic decline, as well as the global studies that show that wealth inequality leads to low social mobility, low innovation, and increased crime, and economic instability. I could list all of that, but most likely you will just respond with straw man arguments and philosophy.
    1
  5004. Paul van de Loo 1. productivity has gone up in the US and has been going up constantly since the 1930s. 2 We currently have a minimum wage "decree" and we have had several minimum wage increases in the last century. If you don't know basic facts then you have no business having this conversation. I don't understand why people pretend that they care about facts. and then go on to prove that they don't. These are basic things that you should know when talking about this subject. Simply regurgitating the propaganda you've been fed doesn't really help your case.
    1
  5005. Paul van de Loo 1. Of course it's harder to make a living when the minimum wage is lower than it was in the 60s. Of course there are fewer manufacturing jobs and a trade deficit because of trade deals and the idea of "free trade" which mostly came from libertarian ideology. Who also complain about trade deals yet offer no alternatives that wouldn't result in job losses. 2. Again, productivity has gone up since the 60's. This is an indisputable fact. So I don't know why you keep saying otherwise: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/productivity The fact is this country is bringing in far more wealth than it it ever has in history, however all of those productivity gains have gone to the 1%.Part of it is due to the lower upper income tax rates (which was 70-91% in the 60s), low capital gains tax rates, trade deals, the finiancialization of our economy, and a low minimum wage which was 11$ in the 60s (inflation adjusted) and $7.25 today. Although many would adjust that to $21 given the growth in the economy and productivity. Many western countries have much higher minimum wages than we do and they are not imploding. Do you think the richest Americans are making less money today than they were in the 60s? Of course not. They have a greater percentage of the overall wealth in this country. That isn't because of "magic" that's because we have specific policies which allow all that wealth to be concentrated.
    1
  5006. TheGuerillapatriot Why is what lower? You need to be more specific. Prices for what? Obviously there are many products cheaper than they were before. Specifically because of all the shit we get from China. Wealth is a big topic, lets keep it monetary for now since money currently controls every aspect of our society. If someone has an idea that works better than what you have been doing then why wouldn't you try it? Stubbornness? I seriously don't get why someone would purposely screw over millions of people or allow thousands to die for no reason.
    1
  5007. Paul van de Loo You're offering a narrative without anything to back it up. Get back to me when you either have your own data or haven't ignored the data and points that I graciously provided in my last comment. Simply rattling off mindless talking points doesn't help your case.
    1
  5008. Paul van de Loo And you have repeated the falsehood repeatedly about productivity and I have given you data on that. If you're going to ignore it then what we're talking about is pointless. Especially in regards to the minimum wage. The fact that we have a trade deficit has already been established and has nothing to do with the minimum wage. The fact that China has a trade surplus doesn't somehow mean that all of their citizens are what we would call "middle-class". The amount of money generated in this country is higher than ever. Our GDP is not shrinking. How that money is distributed is the question.
    1
  5009. Paul van de Loo Again, the reason people don't have as much buying power is that they aren't being compensated as much as they used to be. http://www.epi.org/publication/understanding-the-historic-divergence-between-productivity-and-a-typical-workers-pay-why-it-matters-and-why-its-real/ Saying that the "GDP is inflated" without providing anything to prove it is just deflecting. It's a non-answer meant to ignore evidence and facts. Even if were inflated, it's still far higher than it was in the 60s. We currently have a RECORD number of millionaires and billionaires in this country. Do you understand that? Wealth is being created it's just being concentrated to the upper 1% because of low upper income tax rates, low capital gains, and a lower minimum wage. All of which have changed since the 60s. YES we need to work on our trade deals and bring back manufacturing, but we ALSO need to change our tax rates so that money doesn't pool at the very top which only serves to fund Wall St, Cayman Islands, and buy politicians. Instead we should be funding large infrastructure projects (transportation, roads, bridges, internet, modern power grids, education, etc.) which will stimulate the economy and put more money into communities. We need to raise the minimum wage which will also stimulate the economy (create aggregate demand) and bring more money into poor communities.
    1
  5010. TheGuerillapatriot It's lower because of inflation.
    1
  5011. TheGuerillapatriot Inflation is big topic that is irrelevant to what we're talking about. The US inflate rate is pretty middle to low compared to other countries in the world. Greece has a negative inflation precisely because it isn't exactly doing that great However to screw over the poor and middle class while you try to change 300 year old international monetary policy would be pretty irresponsible.

  5013. joecane6340 What you call "agnostic atheist" is simply an agnostic.  What you call "agnostic theist" makes absolutely no sense.... If you "don't know" then you obviously don't "believe".  You can't simultaneously have faith and not have faith...  Sorry, but these categorizations are just nonsense.
    1
  5014. LaTavious Tuggle -"most atheists are NOT declaring the non-existence of gods-- only that they do not belief that they exists.".    Then.... those atheists are actually AGNOSTIC.  Which is exactly why Cenk says he's an agnostic as opposed to an atheist.  I've always said I'm an agnostic because I think not believing is more powerful than asserting that something is untrue...  As you say this is the more scientific approach.  It keeps you open to new ideas and perspectives.

  5015. Ziliath agnostic by definition is not a claim of knowledge.  please get your facts straight before calling people names.  The rest of your statements also make no sense.

  5016. joecane6340 From their perspective they are being honest. If I placed my finger on my nose yesterday. I know this to be true, however I have no way of proving that this occurred to you without recorded evidence.  Even if I had recorded evidence that evidence relies on your belief that the recorded evidence is valid.  However for my friends/family that trust me, just my saying so makes it true.  In other words the criteria for belief and substantiation of that belief are largely subjective. Most knowledge that we hold true that we don't personally observe ourselves is based on a lot of assumptions. Especially anything involving history.  So for most people the recorded history in religious books like the Bible, Koran, Torah, etc. and the rituals/philosophy and their personal experiences are enough knowledge to substantiate their core beliefs.

  5022. ***** Sorry, but when the state refuses services to a specific organization it is a punishment.  It's not illegal for a private business to do so, but it's entirely different for a state.
    1
  5023. *****  Let the State deny you power,  water, sewage in your home and then ask yourself if that is punishment or not...   I suppose they could also close off the roads to your home, deny you postal services, and if your home happens to catch fire they can refuse to put out it out.  They can chose to serve anyone they want to right?  Technically you could pay for those services on your own right? It's a silly idea.  The bottom line is the legislative branches in government are not to be used to punish or target specific people or organizations people have a grudge against.  It is something that will easily be shut down in any court and I believe similar such legislation has already been struck down.  Even when the GOP goes after abortion clinics they are careful to make the legislation generic enough not to appear to be targeting a specific clinic.
    1
  5024. TheCultivatedMind The examples you cite are laws effecting the entire state as opposed to cutting off the power or water supply to a specific organization you don't like.  There is a big difference there.  Of course you could also mention state laws like those that have made abortion extremely difficult or Jim Crow laws.  States are not always looking out for the constitution or personal rights...
    1
  5025. TheCultivatedMind It doesn't matter if the organization is in different buildings...   Colorado can't suddenly demand a special tax from McDonalds or shut off their water just because the company does business in multiple buildings. Technology brings with it all sorts of issues that didn't exist before.  It's not like the founding fathers anticipated anything like telephones, cellphones, or internet .   Just like they didn't anticipate machine guns, rocket launchers, and nuclear weapons when they drafted the 2nd amendment.  So I'm really hesitant to call something "unconstitutional" based on a concept that clearly did not exist in any shape or form in 1789.  The concept of "property" when it comes digital information is very gray.  If an FBI agent does a Google search and downloads your profile picture from Facebook is that an unreasonable search and seizure? That said obviously there are problems with what the NSA is doing, but as I said those problems need to be resolved by elections and congress through proper legislation.  Not by "screwing with" the NSA.  The people working in those building probably have nothing to do with the program in question.  So you would be "screwing them" at the expense of whatever other work they are doing.

  5026. ***** In those cases it is a ban against a certain type of business in a certain type of area.  It isn't against a specific company.

  5027. ***** They would be far better off by simply passing privacy laws protecting personal data stored in private companies.  Then they could legally go after those companies sharing data with the NSA. They would also be far better off getting those state representatives to push legislation to change the NSA's role or removing funding for those operations involving the mass surveillance we don't like. Either one (or both) of those options would be better and far more productive than figuring out some illegal and unethical way to "screw with" the people working in those buildings that may not have anything to do with the surveillance programs in question.
    1
  5028. *****  So instead of comment sense legislation we should promote "radical action" that will has no chance of passing and be completely ineffective if it did?   Don't buy it.   This is just another one of those "yeah lets get em" proposals for getting attention. 
    1
  5029. TheCultivatedMind  Wow...  people really need to stop treating thinking the founding fathers were gods..  Sorry, but It does not matter how intelligent you are you are not going to anticipate 200 years in the future. 1. No, the founding fathers were men, and no they didn't see into the future and think it would good for people to own Nukes or Biological weapons.....   How they anticipated the future was by making government and the constitution a living things that could change with the times. So that intelligent people in this age could make intelligent decisions based on a framework and the state of the world today. Without that concept this country wouldn't have eliminated slavery, allowed women and minorities to vote, etc.  We would have never  grew and prospered. 2. No, you don't understand what is going on here at all.  Digital media is not the same as snail mail.  For one thing the data that the NSA collects is not though "hacking into personal computers".  It's through some of the techniques that Google might use to aggregate and crawl information off the internet and other sources which can be used to make certain connections about what people are doing.  This was not possible before, just like when wire tapping and surveillance technologies were created special laws needed to be created to define what was public vs. private speech. Secondly there is the metadata collected from phone companies.  The closest analogy would be the government going into a store and asking for all the receipts and the store owner saying "sure, ok". In the past If you asked for all the receipts in all the stores within a city it would be useless information because there is no way for people to sift through all of that paperwork to find anything meaningful.   However TODAY telecoms (store owners) have metadata (receipts) for millions of people and millions of transactions, and because of TECHNOLOGY we have data centers that can crunch through this information in an instant.  So we can make connections and find out information on people in a way that was not possible before. The point is technology has indeed changed how we define the 4th amendment over time.  These are not simplistic or straight forward issues.

  5032. It's really stupid to call anyone who does violence in the name of religion "fundamentalists". Fundamentalism takes all sorts of shapes and sizes. People who go on sabbaticals or live as monks in temples, or dramatically change their lifestyle to fit there religious teachings are also fundamentalists. Beating someone who does something different than you just makes you an asshole, it doesn't necessarily make you a "fundamentalist". Rarely if ever does any scripture in any religion specifically tell you to commit violence.

  5037. On the flip side because his family is rich and because of the media backlash the families who were hurt will receive more financial help from the civil lawsuits than they otherwise would have if he was just thrown in jail.  So I'm not sure if incarceration would have produced the better outcome here....
    1
  5038. For me it is more about the result rather than seeing people punished because it makes me feel better...  As a society we are way to hung up on "revenge" rather than healthy outcomes.  If having more money means that the people who were hurt will get better medical care for the rest of their lives then YES I think that is far more important than throwing a kid in jail.
    1
  5039. Yes....  I think the goal of handling any aberrant behavior (i.e. criminality) should be to reduce that behavior in society.  Our incarceration rate is in no way reflective of how good we are at reducing crime.  In fact far too often we send people to prison and they come out worse.  I'd rather this kid (or any kid who hasn't matured)  to go free and be monitored through probation than going into a prison just to come out a hardened criminal.
    1
  5040. Yes of course, it is extremely complicated.  However by shifting the discussion from "what people deserve" to what benefits society based on science we can start focusing on those mechanisms to decrease homicides, murders, drug abuse, & mental illness. instead of just satisfying a short term need for revenge.
    1
  5041. EarlRegent It sounds like you want to argue hypotheticals.  However I find myself repeating (again) what I've already said, because the question isn't what "I" would do.... The question is what has science shown to reduce theft in society and produce the greatest benefit at a macro level and on an individual level.   This would be based entirely on the data & research at the time. Not my personal opinion. For example we know that at a macro level things like "inequality" greatly increase crime.  Also at an individual level saying "he just wanted money" is entirely vague...  Some people have psychological problems, some are poor and desperate, others are looking for social status that comes with money, etc.. treating all those cases the same is like having a mechanic that only knows how to change your oil.
    1
  5042. 1. I did answer it simply.  It's not my fault you don't like the answer.  Or would you rather I make up a simplistic answer to a complex hypothetical just so you have something easy to argue against? 2. We are all products of our environment, societies social engineer all the time,  If you think that incarceration, police, taxation, education, war, city planning, etc. somehow  have no impact on society then you would be grossly mistaken. 3. Reread my comments....  I never said "no one should ever be detained for any reason", but somehow you are making this assumption.   Either you are trying to make a straw man argument or you didn't understand what I wrote. There is a vast difference in precision between a scalpel and a machete.  If you are advocating incarceration for everything with little proof over its effectiveness (other than what you feel in your "gut") then you are also part of the problem. 4. Again.... reread my comments I didn't say "subjective diagnoses" I said "science" which is based on empirical evidence.
    1
  5043. EarlRegent I have repeatedly said I am most interested in using science to creating the best outcomes for society.  So to say I'm forgetting about public safety is a lie.  On the flip side if you think that our current system of over populating prisons and having the highest incarceration rate in the world somehow reduces violence and criminality  then I would say you are ignoring the obvious facts that say otherwise. Furthermore what I said  was "If you are advocating...."  which in English means that I'm not asserting that I know what your exact position is. Let me ask you this...  What would you do to reduce crime and homicides?  Is it your opinion that everything is fine or nothing can be done?  Therefore we should just let thousands die each year?
    1
  5044. EarlRegent Ok, I can see now that quickly responding with "yes" left it open to interpretation over what I was responding "yes" to. -"Punishment is part of the prevention initiative" I would argue that it's only to a limited extent and only for certain types of crimes.  For example the death penalty has done little to decrease the number of homicides in this country.  The mental state of someone committing a murder isn't one weighing the pros and cons of various "punishments" they may receive if caught. -"If all criminal punishments are abandoned, you really think the crime rates will remain the same? " I have no idea.  It would likely go up for those people who are mentally ill and not treated.   However the vast majority incarcerated today are for drug related offenses and DUIs.  If JUST those people were released instead of spending extended time in prison to be institutionalized and turned into hardened criminals would the crime rate would go up or down?  I don't know... but it's a question we hardly ever ask and should.  Certainly decriminalizing drugs has shown to decrease violence. "Is it revenge to sue a person in civil court for money due to abuses against the plaintiff?" Entirely depends on whether the money is compensating for a loss or whether it is purely punitive. -"and who says 'revenge'/'satisfaction' is wrong any ways? Do human beings not have a right to see the ones who have wronged them criminally get punished?" As a human being do I have the right to get the satisfaction of lynching a guy because of the color of his skin? How about the satisfaction of beating up an immigrant because one took my job?  Blood lust in is not a positive thing for society and neither is state sanctioned blood lust.  It promotes characterizing everything as good/evil instead of understanding underlying problems.
    1
  5045. EarlRegent A theme is starting to emerge... You ask for specifics I give them to you and then you pretend as if I'm saying it is your argument. 1. Never said you were advocating the death penalty.  It's called an "example".  If you want my responses to actual issues then YOU need to start providing specifics instead of just trolling me for specifics. 2.  You don't have to go through history.  There are plenty of countries today with far less incarceration and much lower crime rates. 3. "So, let's not call everyone that steals, robs or kills inherently mentally ill, that is a gross oversimplification" Which is a straw man on your part, because I  never said that. 4. You are being evasive by feigning outrage.  If you think the argument or analogy is invalid then form logical argument of your own.   It was YOUR claim that emotional satisfaction and or revenge were valid reasons for punishing others.   If you cannot defend that claim then don't make the argument. 5. -"I have been very clear about the practicality of the current system and where it might be relatively easily improved upon." Where exactly have you done this? Sorry but saying"give more attention to institutions" is not a clear plan of any kind.
    1
  5046. EarlRegent 1.  Right...  So in other words you dedicate a separate comment to make a point about satisfying emotional needs.  Then suddenly  you downplay your argument because you realize you don't have a leg to stand on.... 2. The point is (and the one that I keep making) that there are other factors which effect crime other than blindly incarcerating people.  As indicated by other countries with far lower crime/homicide rates and lower incarceration.   It is a clear and OBVIOUS fact that you choose to simply ignore because it doesn't fit the overly simplistic points on incarceration that you're trying to make. "You dont want to admit you were wrong. " A clear case of projection.  You're so preoccupied with being "right" that you're choosing to ignore arguments. 3. -"Prisoners that perpetuate their habits due to experiences in prisons can be deterred if the institutions are given enough attention." That statement makes absolutely no sense.... 4. Reread the comments.  The only person that keeps referring to "rehabilitation" over and over is you.  My focus is far more comprehensive than just relying on one technique to solve problems.

I'm guessing the reason for the increased violence in those Christian countries is due to the same reasons we're dealing with terrorism today... namely the rampant imperialism from western countries that destroyed cultures, civilizations, and ecosystems all around the world who also happened to be spreading Christianity at the same time..

  5052. Your argument is only valid if the hackers also exposed the RNC or Trump's emails. If you combed through thousands of anyone's emails you're going to find something somewhere. Are you going to tell me that there wasn't collusion against Trump in the RNC? Of course there was, the republican establishment didn't want him to win. Are you going to tell me that Trump didn't display any corruption in his emails? Of course he would have. It would have been a gold mine of corruption. Furthermore when they did comb through those emails, no one really cared about the charity work that Hillary was doing during the campaign (actually using campaign resources to help people, but not even promoting that), or the nice things she said about people, they only care about the dirt. Maybe this is more of a reflection of our media, but when you hack one politician and on party and then you filter those emails to only the dirt, you create a very one sided and skewed picture of what is really going on. Furthermore why are we still talking about Hillary Clinton's emails when there is SO MUCH other shit going on with the person who is ACTUALLY president? Should we talk about Mit Romney too?

  5053. ValvtaSilent. It wasn't news that the DNC was bias in favor of Hillary. Just like the RNC didn't want Trump. You pretend as if these emails provided some huge revelation, it didn't.

  5054. Bush v Gore should remind you that a watered down (corporatist) candidate is a loser candidate. If you're not voting for something and instead voting out of fear then you might as well be throwing away your vote.

  5055. xiAGC123 Source is me.  I've been watching TYT for over 10 years and I remember the subject coming up once when they were talking about another story and that they're conclusion is that it likely happened and it wasn't cool.  I remember because it was the first time I had even heard about the Armenian Genocide.  However I'm not about to go through thousands of videos looking for that exact clip.   It's pretty ridiculous for someone to come onto a video about Trump and look for commentary on an incident that happened 100 years ago in another country that has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics in this country.  Do your own research.

  5058. This whole segment is really dubious. The guy ignores two people who were more informed on the topic. Was he purposely just going to the people who had trouble explaining the argument? The video also cuts before the woman could answer who was just waiting for the crowd noise to die down, however the cut makes it look like she didn't have an answer. Not to mention that obviously the people with the communist symbols on their signs weren't concerned about communism. They were just trying to make clever puns tying Trump to Russia. I expect more from TRN....

  5062. Even though I'm a stanch progressive, Ron Paul is the first presidential candidate I've ever donated to. Why? Because even though he's batshit insane on most economic issues, he's always been reasonable when it comes to other issues. I'd much prefer a truly principled and reasonable person as the GOP nominee than the sleazy cesspool of options that currently exist in the GOP.

My guess is that if it were legal she would have a sign right there that said "pot brownies", however in an effort to keep it on the "down low" she just assumed certain people knew through word of mouth.

  5066. DaveASL  True, but in this country there is a big difference between not having the right license and being arrested as a drug dealer.  In one the police tell you to leave or shut down your business.  In the other you can be thrown in jail for decades....   Not saying that legalization would have necessarily solved this problem, just saying that I can maybe understand why she didn't say anything.
    1
  5067. baserocklove  Historically there are numerous examples of "progressives" or progressive ideas in the republican party  as well as the democratic party.  So I don't think you have any idea what the fuck your talking about.... Party has little to do with pushing forth certain ideas.  However parties change according to what politicians in those parties think they can "win" on.  So please explain my "oversimplification" because so far you have said nothing.
    1
  5068. baserocklove   When you start calling people names, it's clear you don't have any real arguments.    Your "oversimplification" of the what was the "progressive party" is what is really laughable.  For your information there were progressive elements in both parties for many years in the early 20th centuries.  Parties change according to what is marketable.  Which is something you fail to comprehend.  That is why there are two main opposing parties, each picking what is marketable according to current demographics.
    1
  5069. TheRhinehart86   --"America's problem isnt that parties have created the current mess" You actually didn't make a single argument to substantiate that statement at all.   People simply accept "parties" because they grew up with them.  The arguments against parties far outweigh their benefits. --"the problem is that America is still trying to apply 18th century political theories and practices to a 21st century world." That is very true and the use of political parties is one of those practices.  Essentially it's gang rule over democracy.  You point out the flawed nature of our constitution yet blindly accept "parties" which also came from around that same time period and today causes nothing but mindless division and waste in our governing process.  It makes no sense.
    1
  5070. hawkesworth1712  The founders where definitely flawed in the fact that they created no provision for parties yet still allowing for their formation and use within the governing process. However if you think the idea of always voting along party lines is a good thing.  Then I think you are sadly mistaken.  The UK is not somehow sheltered from parties making decisions against the people's interests or getting corrupted as a whole.  Then displaying the same herd mentality that reinforces bad decisions within the party though self justification. The idea that a mechanisms that worked "ok" 200-300 years ago are somehow just as efficient today goes against the fundamental idea of "progress".
    1
  5071. TopGunZero   As I've stated repeatedly.  The fact that these parties have shifted over years demonstrates how irrelevant they are. These parties do not change out of principle they change in order to get votes from a certain segment of the population.  Whether you are talking about the Dixiecrats, the "Progressive Era",  the "Southern Strategy", the "Regan Revolution",  the democratic shift to the right by Clinton/Obama it is all based on demographic calculation and money interests in order to WIN ELECTIONS. If you hold the belief that party ideology is based on principles and that "left" and "right" actually mean anything. Then you are sadly fooling yourself and have been fooled by the very politics that you claim to understand. A question that sums up the absurdity: Is Obamacare a "left" policy or a "right" policy?
    1
  5072. TopGunZero    If you have any actually arguments defending "parties" or any arguments against what I've said, I'll hear them, but simply making empty accusations against people is really not productive. When people have an emotional reaction  from just challenging the idea of "parties" without actually providing arguments supporting them then the 2 party system is not a "good idea" it is simply dogma that people blindly follow and accept.
    1
  5073. TopGunZero   Yet you have not provided a single argument to contradict that analysis or those arguments..  It's no different than people who argue against evolution without providing any arguments or facts because they simply don't want to believe it. I fail to see what my age has to do with anything.
    1
  5074. hawkesworth1712  You're under the impression that I would like the idea of parties more if everyone in those parties had less independent thinking?  Wow... absolutely not.... You really didn't understand my complaints. Now in your mind you may think the system you have is more orderly (I would say in some ways yes in other ways no), however being "orderly" is not my problem here at all....  Most bills pass/fail  along party lines here.  So parties are in fact galvanized along every vote.  Again, having all politicians vote with their party is NOT a good thing for democracy. As I said earlier there is just as much corruption in the UK.  Corruption that is amplified when everyone in a party marches in lockstep not daring to question their own party. Gang rule promotes a group think that is bad for democracy.  It causes people to promote favoritism over facts and demonize instead of debating ideas.
    1
  5075. TopGunZero    You haven't explained anything nor have you made arguments.  I keep pointing this out to you, yet you keep pretending as if you had.  You are clearly aware of this, perhaps you are just trolling at this point. You ask my age because you wish to engage in a red herring fallacy.  Instead of discussing the issue you would rather bring up something irrelevant to distract/distort from the topic at hand. If you had real arguments you would be discussing those instead of resorting to such obvious tactics.
    1
  5076. hawkesworth1712  I don't think you understand my objections to parties when you keep restating over and over the reason why I detest them....   Your train of thought in response to my comments is like someone saying: "I don't eat meat because of moral reasons"  then you respond by saying:  "The meat in the UK is much tastier than in the US" It means that you fundamentally didn't  understand the persons issue in the first place and you're unable to think outside the system you were born in.
    1
  5077. hawkesworth1712 Again your comment makes absolutely no sense.  You're not even paying attention to what I write.  You're simply trolling. 
    1
  5078. hawkesworth1712    Again, I'm aware of the parties in the UK I have friends in the UK, I visit the UK.  If you weren't so obsessed with a petty need to feel good about your system then you would actually listen to other people. Instead you choose to be completely oblivious to the arguments being made and repeating the same flawed argument like a broken record. Your responses are non-sequiturs and you seem to be incapable of understanding that.

  5079. Grzegorz Durda No actually it was pretty clear what they were saying. That simply because ethnically similar people live together in communities that somehow they secretly don't want to have anything to do with the US. Meanwhile when ethnically similar white people live together completely isolated from other cultures then it's perfectly okay and "american". I perfectly understand their hypocrisy. Do you? Apparently not.
    1
  5080. Grzegorz Durda Sure "like minded" according to their culture. However what you and they seem to not understand is that the US is made up of THOUSANDS of different cultures and sub cultures. All I care about is people following and respecting the laws of this country. I could care less about their culture or their personal beliefs. All you seem to care about are people to looking, thinking, and acting like you. Which is ridiculous and xenophobic. You are the one who brought up racism. So please stop projecting your issues on to me.
    1
  5081. Grzegorz Durda No by "their" I mean the people in the video. You seem to have a lot of pent up racial issues bro. I'm glad you had a positive experience, but you really need to stop projecting your experiences and issues on everyone else... The people who are like family to me who I would do anything for are white, black, & asian (korean/chinese). I literally call these people my brothers and sisters. Like I said I've been part of many different cultures in this country and I don't limit myself to one. To look at someone else's culture and assume they don't want to be "an American" and assume that you know what is in their heart just by looking at them. Is completely wrong... It's based on nothing more than bias, bigotry, and assuming your culture is somehow the right one. You can try to justify this sentiment all you want, but the guy couldn't even name an example or situation that proved his position. You clearly have a warped impression on what "being american" is. Because if you think that a single experience or a single culture is "American" then you are wrong.
    1
  5082. Grzegorz Durda Then what are they basing it on exactly if it's not looks and culture? I fail to see how eating pulled pork, which is referring specifically to THEIR culture and THEIR cuisine, has to do with anything. Do you somehow thing eating BBQ, specifically pork based BBQ, should be a requirement for citizenship? You would have to be incredibly biased and myopic to think that BBQ is the test for what is american or not. Are vegetarians unamerican? Are muslims who chose not to eat pork unamerican? How about people who just don't like BBQ are they unamerican too? I'm sorry but this line of thinking is about the most absurd thing I've heard all day.
    1
  5083. Grzegorz Durda And where is there any evidence that the people they are referring to are "banding together to ban it"? When you're making claims on a group that are not based on anything that is classic bigotry. Sorry, but insulting me doesn't make your arguments any more valid or less irrational. When people resort to insults it reveals that they never had an argument to begin with.... If you have an actual logical argument present it. If you have evidence then present it. Don't waste my time with bs.

  5086. Joseph Zinga Again, so you hate the religion so everyone else isn't allowed to practice it? Should we have laws to determine how churches should gather?
    1
  5087. Joseph Zinga When you don't explain your argument you leave it open to interpretation. I really don't know what your argument is and you're still not clarifying. Bottom line is you either respect freedom of religion or you don't, it's not your job as a government official to condemn how people freely choose to practice and pretend that "tolerance" means that they should practice their religion how you want them to. It doesn't matter what you think is "behind it" because it's not your damn religion.
    1
  5088. Joseph Zinga 1. You didn't clarify, I'm not sure why you're pretending that you did when it's obvious from the comment above that you didn't. 2. Again, it's not hypocrisy if you support freedom of religion. You're calling something "hypocrisy" because a religion doesn't meet your standards. That is the very definition of "intolerant". I'm amazed that you don't recognize your own hypocrisy. Again, It's not a government official's job to play favors with different religions. 3. I don't care about their ideology or their beliefs. I also don't care what YOU think of their ideology or their beliefs because they are free to believe and follow anything they want to. That's what freedom is about. However you imposing your standards on others is not. If someone from a different country came to the US and said that it was hypocritical for us to talk about intolerance based on the fact that our women wear tops on the beach while men can go topless and that we have separate bathrooms and showers for men and women you would think it's ridiculous. The fact that you're creating this standard for another group's religion is also ridiculous. It's really based on nothing more than conceit. The reality is that both cultural norms are based on puritanical ideas and history. 4. Well you sure are implying it. Suddenly a government official can't speak at a mosque simply because the women sit in a different area? Again freedom of religion or not? 5. You're commenting on a guy's channel who swears all the time. Suddenly you're triggered just because I used the word "damn". Are we in kindergarten or something?

  5089. DeadshotDivinityFan There's a difference between a business, a church, and a club. They are all handled by the law very differently.
    1
  5090. DeadshotDivinityFan Depends on what you mean. Roman catholic churches don't allow women to hold certain positions, based on their rules and historical president. Men can't be "nuns". Doesn't mean someone can join a catholic church which doesn't have those restrictions or follows a different interpretation. Mormans didn't even allow black people until the 70s. However discrimination in a religion is not the same as discrimination that effects your financial or legal standing. You can join other religions, other churches, and believe whatever you want, but the fact that a church separates people based on gender is not going to effect where you live, how you make a living or put you in prison. You have a choice to follow that religion and those traditions, some people like it and that's called "freedom". However the government has no place forcing religions to practice how we want them to. That goes against "freedom of religion" When you start thinking that way you're really no different than the religious people who want to force their ideals through laws.

So please stop pretending as if this is somehow an evil plot against women when it is entirely a manifestation of your fashion industry.

If you have the body to attract people then showing more of it gets more attention, if you don't then no one is going to give shit except OTHER WOMEN.

You may not have liked Hillary's speech awhile back but the fact is she looks presidential in her speeches whereas Trump will continue to look like a clown, he can't help himself. Trumps tactics work really well with an idiotic minority in the republican party, but it also drives up his negatives. The contrast between Trump and Hillary as well as the fact that her campaign is a well oiled machine and his is a hot mess will continue to make his numbers fall.

Conservatism is about figuring shit out when it's 10-20 years too late.  Whether it's the Iraq War, the war on drugs, gay marriage, racial inequality, gender inequality, economic inequality, etc.  when you start out with an irrational and backwards mindset of course it's going to take you a long time to figure out anything.   I remember laughing at people in 2003 who thought going to way in Iraq was a good idea. Then looked in disbelief as the whole nation turned into mindless warmongers for a decade just because of 911.

  5115. Bruce Springsteen I have many good friends who are religious.  I don't look at them with disgust because I'm not a dick.  There are many intangible things that people believe (Aliens, conspiracies, Qi, Parana, magic, ESP, Ghosts, etc.).  Someone simply believing in something that I don't is not deserving of my disgust.  Someone being bigoted against someone else because of their personal belief or appearance does deserve my disgust.
    1
  5116. Bruce Springsteen My friend(s) are not Nazi's and they haven't harmed or killed anyone. They also have gay friends and don't judge people based on sexual orientation. In fact I would say that they've helped a lot of people because they're kind. So in other words you've taken your bad experiences with others and decided to blame everyone else for it who follows a religion?  Would you do the same to all black people? Jews?  Perhaps you should look at the individual instead of judging people based on frivolous things.
    1
  5117. Bruce Springsteen So are you saying that atheist have never committed atrocities?  Perhaps you're unfamiliar with Stalin, Mao, or the killing fields in Cambodia?  Would you like someone to unjustly associate you to all of that just because you're atheist?  The reason we are the way we are is because of our humanity which causes us to do a lot of stupid and atrocious things.  The fact is Jesus never said anything about gay people or abortion, in fact you could argue that bible is pro-abortion. Yet people will find anything to justify their proclivities whether religion is there or not.   We are still evolving as a species and your bigotry is really no different than bigotry based on religion...  It's your human tendencies that causes you to stereotype and create prejudices.  No different than the religious fundamentalists who would call all atheists immoral.
    1
  5118. Bruce Springsteen They did... All of those regimes I mentioned persecuted Christians and other religions. They had atheist policies and implemented those policies by force. However you have such a narrow view of the world that somehow that seems impossible to you.  Bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand. Those who are bigoted don't bother to do basic research as you just failed to do Furthermore I have no idea what you're ranting about....  I am agnostic I have always been since I was a child.  I'm just not close minded and I refuse to let ignorance and bigotry control my mindset. You really need to look in the mirror because your militancy over atheism is coming from a really dark place...  It's honestly no different than something that Stalin or Mao would have said when they went around destroying churches and temples.  Thinking that your way is the right way and all other thought should be destroyed is really no different than radicalized Muslims or those communist regimes.  It's really sad that you can't see that.

  5119. When people were voting for the Iraq resolution it's not like they weren't voting for hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, torture, abu ghirab, and the horrible handling of the aftermath that lead to ISIS. In fact many were voting for just the threat of war and using it as leverage against Saddam. So saying that a vote is worth a jail sentence because of the many atrocities of the Bush administration is absurd. Should there be political consequences for bad judgement? Of course, they were voting out of hysteria not common sense. Jail? Fuck no that's dumb.

  5123. Tones Sharpington The thing is we have fact checking sites which track this sort of thing. Trump has consistently been the biggest liar out of all the politicians we've had this election season. It doesn't matter if you're talking about republicans or democrats. Trump is far ahead in blatant lies. Yet somehow people believe what he says. FDR used to say about his opponents that if you're going to lie then tell a big lie, because of it's very fantastic nature people will think that you're telling the truth. Trump has been doing that constantly. All I can say is that you blindly believe that Trump isn't lying to you then you are a real gullible son of a bitch.
    1
  5124. Tones Sharpington There just seems to be a completely different standard for lying when it comes to Clinton vs Trump. I really don't get it. Sure Clinton lied a couple times, but Trump lies non-stop. I don't understand what wasn't "public" about all of Trump's lies.

  5131. Kind of weird how cheerful she sounded while talking about blood, tear gas, and violence...
    1
  5132. daheat0627 It's amazing to me what you think someone could have done or not done in 2 seconds while a car is racing towards them (at high speed) to prevent getting shot.... Police are to meant to deescalate situations not escalate them.  The bottom line is this 12 year old child would not be dead if police were not there.   Blaming the victim simply because they are black and from the "ghetto" is nothing more than racial sickness in our society that inherently thinks that black children are somehow more dangerous than white children. Again, there are dozens of videos of police in other countries handling armed assailants that don't end in anyone getting killed.  The police in the US are trained to use deadly force when it is not necessary and it is leading to a lot of unnecessary deaths of the civilian population.
    1
  5133. daheat0627 Again, cops are there to "protect and serve". Not kill kids or anyone else who acts up.  When we all forget that we've going down a dark Orwellian path.  Reduce guns in society and fix our nervous cops with better training.  Being a taxi driver is far more dangerous than being a cop. We should not allow trigger happy nervous cops to be on the street, period.
    1
  5134. daheat0627 Again, statistically you're more likely to be killed as a taxi driver than a police officer. I don't think any public policy should be based on personal fears.  Furthermore the whole reason the police and criminals are in an "arms race" is because the country is full of guns and we haven't controlled them like other countries because of "2nd amendment" nonsense and irrational personal fears that people have for not having a gun... 
    1
  5135. daheat0627 So you're basically saying that you don't care about dead kids (100-150 killed accidentally each year), mass shootings,  thousands of homicide and suicides, and the thousand or so people police kill each year, as long as people get to play with firearms as much as they want and wherever they want. Kind of irrational, but okay. They said the same thing about getting rid of slavery, getting women the right to vote, and lots of other issues that transformed this country. Change can indeed happen given time and the right circumstances.  This is America.
    1
  5136. daheat0627 Not sure what "price" you're referring to.  Are you saying the price of a life is worth less than the ability to have fun at a shooting range?  No, the idiots kill others that have nothing to do with their idiocy like children, relatives, mass shootings, and people simply nearby. It would be one thing if it were a sport like skydiving where you only had yourself to worry about.  The gun culture kills thousands of Americans in this country each year at a rate that is much higher than the homicide rate of other countries.
    1
  5137. daheat0627 First off the 2nd amendment applies to "well regulated militias".   The roots of which are the slave patrols in the southern states to keep slaves from escaping.  Which is why it says "free state" instead of "free country".  Secondly I can criticize anyone I want who puts their own selfishness over the lives of others.   I'm all for hunting rifles and sports shooters.  However hand guns and the pervasive gun culture is killing our people.  The fact that people don't give a shit about that and think of nothing except themselves is pretty sick.
    1
  5138. daheat0627 You already said it yourself.  Police are nervous because of all the guns on the street.  Do the same thing they did in Australia. Implement national gun buy back programs and strict controls on who can own a gun.  Reduce the guns in circulation dramatically and the police won't be trained to shoot first and ask questions later.
    1
  5139. daheat0627 Prison doesn't rehabilitate people nor does it deter people from doing bad things.  It's not like the thousands of people thrown in prison each year for drug offenses has stopped people from buying or selling drugs has it?  If anything our prison system turns light offenders into hardened criminals.  The US already has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.   You would do far more to reduce violence by reducing poverty and inequality than throwing people in jail and you would do far more to reduce deaths due to violence, accidents, and depression or mental breakdowns if you got more guns out of circulation.
    1
  5140. daheat0627  If you could magically identify every person in the country who is following the law perfectly then we wouldn't need police or courts now would we?....   The problem is that you can't.  If we could then guns wouldn't be an issue.  In fact missiles, hand grenades, anthrax, and nuclear material wouldn't be an issue either if we could magically figure that anyone who possessed these things wouldn't have an accident or sell it to someone with bad intent.  By your logic we should allow people to freely have IEDs, pipe bombs, and ricin too.
    1
  5141. daheat0627 So you arbitrarily decided that grenades, rocket launchers, etc. are not needed.  So it's okay in your mind  to ban those things.  However it's not okay for people to ban assault rifles, handguns, and large magazine clips when statistics show that more people die in this country because of them?   Your line of thinking is not rational, nor have you presented a single solution that solves the problem.  
    1
  5142. daheat0627  As I said I think hunting rifles are fine.  Although personally if I were to take up hunting I would prefer a bow.   However statistically you are more likely to kill or injure a friend, family member, or child by having a gun in the home.  Someone breaking into your home specifically to harm you or your family is so incredibly rare that it's not even worth mentioning compared to dying while slipping on a wet floor.  Things like that only happen in the movies or if you're a drug dealer. The truth is the gun industry pushes this nonstop propaganda to keep people afraid of everything just to sell guns.  Which is why you have constant stories of people thinking an intruder is in the home only to end up shooting their wife or child....  Irrational fear is killing our society.  It's getting us into war and causing us to shoot each other.  It's really sad.
    1
  5143. daheat0627 Based on that logic there would be an epidemic of people breaking into homes and killing people in the UK, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Denmark, etc.  But there isn't.   You should rely on evidence not common sense.... "Common sense" is based on the propaganda, hearsay, and anecdotes that people are bombarded with every day from NRA lobbyists and their right wing media outlets.  "Evidence" doesn't give a shit about agendas, ideology, political persuasion, or your personal opinion.  It is data that is provable and repeatable. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse for not being able to find statistics, studies, and other research that proves your ideas.  The fact is, there is absolute no evidence that having more guns leads to less people shooting each other.... However that's essentially the flawed argument that people try to make.  It's like saying more water around makes things dryer.
    1
  5144. daheat0627 You can stand firm all you like, but the fact is even with all of our guns the burglary rates are far higher in the US than in UK or Canada.  Hate to break it to you, but people rob homes when they think no one is home.  It has ZERO to do with whether you own a gun or not.  And if you think most burglars carry guns then you're also horribly misinformed.  They don't.  It sounds like you bought right into the propaganda and the fantasy.   As if there are thousands of criminals just waiting to break into your house, with a gun, while you're there, to "get you". LOL... Sorry, but that's not reality. Real life isn't Born Identity or the Walking Dead.  In real life you're more likely to get yourself or a loved one shot. The problem with this country is far too many people standing by ignorance instead of facts Again, the 2nd amendment is about regulated state militias, not individual unfettered rights.
    1
  5145. daheat0627 I actually live surrounded by some bad neighborhoods. Crime happens.  I've had my car broken into a couple times. The bartender in the bar across the street from was killed by a stray bullet after a street gang robbed the place a few years ago.  However the only people I know that buy weapons are drug dealers and the people who just moved from suburbia who lack any kind of street sense and think that a gun will offer a lot of protection.  A friend of mine's boyfriend is one of those...  Just moved from suburbia, and had to bring a gun,  and because of that someone almost got shot who they thought was breaking in but turned out to be an ex roommate coming to get some stuff he left behind. Also had a talk with an ex-con who spent 13 years in jail because he had an argument with a guy who dissed his sister and in the heat of the moment shot him because he had a gun.  Something which otherwise would have been a simple brawl. You can spend your life ignoring the stats and ignoring scientific research, but facts are facts no matter if you choose to believe them or not.

  5146. SteadFast nEasy No Islam is a religion. Just because there is a Vatican doesn't somehow mean that all Christians in the world are following a political system. If you followed history you would see us having no problems with Muslims until we started overthrowing their governments, taking their land away, and killing thousands of children with sanctions.
    1
  5147. SteadFast nEasy LOL... All your arguments come down to: 1. Let me cherry pick my religion to make excuses for every atrocity committed in the name of my religion. 2. Let me cherry pick the other religion to make excuses for why every atrocity is caused by their religion. It is extremely sad and yes, profoundly bigoted. Again, millions of Muslims make the exact same argument about their religion. That those who commit violence in the name of Islam are not following the correct teachings. You're so arrogant in your hubris over your own religion that you can't see that. It's called "cognitive dissonance" followed by self justification You are not being profound, you are simply a textbook case of confirmation bias. If Christ actually existed he would be the complete opposite of people like you who spend their days throwing stones at billions of people simply because their faith happens to be different than yours. It's disgusting. For the vast majority of Muslims who are just living their lives and not harming anyone, let them live without your finger pointing and judgement. Quit being a dick.

  5151. Hard to really compare a campaign speech to the state of the union....   I mean some of Obama's campaign speeches were pretty fiery as well.  "They drove us into the ditch and now they expect us to give them back the wheel", etc.   It's definitely  a different tone when you're campaigning.

  5152. For people who think that a person's business connections are irrelevant, let me remind you of the business dealings that George Bush had with various Saudi royals and family members directly related to Bin Laden. Not only did Bush not investigate Bin Laden after getting repeated warnings about him,, but right after 911 various Saudi royals and members of the Bin Laden family were given special treatment and allowed to fly out on private jets. Even though most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, it was years later before those connections where relieved while the country ignored Saudi Arabia and focused on Iraq. Rich businessman who run for office could care less about the 4 years in office, for them it's more about what kind of international influence and payoff they can get after they leave. The Bushes, Cheney's, and Clintons have gotten rich from politics. Do you think that Trump doesn't want in on that action? Of course he does.

  5153. Deez Nuts Again.... 1.  What is your plan to eliminate poverty? 2.  What is your plan to force people to move to areas with less population density? 3.  What is your plan to educate the masses? Only a fool would think these are easy solutions compared to gun regulations.

  5158. Except that when you actually look at facts instead of your imagination you find out: 1. Those socialistic policies in this country led to less poor and created a middle class, up until those policies started to get unraveled in the 80s   2. Any real comparison of inequality, poverty, standard of living will yield little relationship between those metrics and socialistic policies.

  5161. PrussianEngineer  Most of the world (Africa, North/South America, Australia, India, China, middle east) where all forcibly colonized by Europeans or subjugated to create trade routes.  Which of course led to a lot of  European settlements, mixing of culture/races, force migration through slavery and coerced migration of Europeans and non-europeans because of economics.  It is truly pathetic that you somehow believe that makes you "the victim" today.  So instead of actually understanding history and how ended up in a "melting pot" of people and cultures you would rather sit around and cry that everyone doesn't look like you.  It is sad for a person to tie their self worth to the number of similar looking people around them.
    1
  5162. Dany Varna I assume you're joking..., because saying "anti-white" and pretending you're a victim is not a substitute for actual arguments.  So I'm assuming you're just poking fun at the people who just do that. 
    1
  5163. PrussianEngineer Oh I see, so all other races are "conquered" in your mind so therefore they should all live where today's white people want them to live?  I suppose we should reinstitute slavery as well right?  You seem to be deluding yourself onto thinking that your skin color gives you some kind of divine right to rule over other races and grant you certain privileges.  Such as if your ancestor owned slaves or conquered other minorities on the past then therefore you should be able to do the same today, right? There are millions of descendants of Genghis Khan scattered around the world.  I suppose using your ludicrous logic they should get together and lay claim to all of Asia right? Sorry, but that's not how things work...  I find it really sad that the idea that you share some irrelevant genetic markers with some humans that "conquered" other humans in the past somehow makes you feel good about yourself...  As if somehow that achievement is genetically passed on to you. To define yourself that way is sure indicator of having low self esteem.  Again, these migrations were opened everywhere based on the trade, imperialism, and colonialism of the past.  Humans have always migrated, our species originated in Africa and spread throughout the globe.  Trying to equate this natural migration to the mass killings of the past (holocaust, Rwanda, darfur, slave trade, etc.) so you can try to feel like a victim is utterly pathetic....

  5183. DarthCipient Obviously they don't care, but that's not the point... A person beating their child doesn't care that they were also abused as a child.  A racist beating up a minority probably doesn't care that they grew up with racists parents.  Individuals never care about causal relationships. They just care about what's in front of them and how they feel in the moment, but as a society we should care about these things.
    1
  5184. DarthCipient They are entirely related to how people become terrorists...   Take two babies.  Raise one in Syria and the other in Beverly Hills and which one is more likely to end up as a terrorist?    Have one grow up worrying about his aunts, uncles, and people getting blown up and getting swept up in civil war and the other worrying about the latest fashion trends and which one is more likely to end up as a terrorist while clinging to a religion?

  5187. JFB1111 1. There are more right wing attacks than Muslim attacks in the US.  2. TYT is based in the US so they're going to focus on problems in the US.  3. Sorry, but "go to another country" is not an argument.  Complaining about gang violence and then telling someone to go to Russia or Hong Kong where the problem might be worse in some areas is not an argument for anything.  The fact is rising islamaphobia is an issue in this country.  Pointing out homophobia in Iran doesn't solve that problem.  4.  I've been to a Muslim dominated countries before and I've had zero problems.  Clearly you haven't because you have a cartoonish impression of how they treat other people.
    1
  5188. JFB1111 1.  A US based network is obviously going to focus on issues more relevant to the US..   2. Again, a US based network is obviously going to focus on issue more relevant to the US.  Not sure why you think it should be different.  If we were to take global threats which kill more people each year we would be talking about things like droughts, malaria, potable water, and healthcare.  Yet somehow you think coverage should only be skewed one specific way, targeting one group of people.  Why is that?   3. Whether the word "Islamaphobia" is made up or not is completely irrelevant....  Humans make up lots of words each year.  The problem on the other hand IS real. You may not give a shit about it or the people effected by it, because it doesn't effect YOU, but it is a real problem for millions of people in this country.  The irrational position is wanting to constantly talk about  Muslim terrorism when it doesn't effect you at all. 4. Yes visited.  And buy your grossly misinformed responses it's pretty clear you don't know much about any Muslim countries...   Yes some muslims are fleeing a couple war torn countries, but understand there are MANY predominantly Muslim countries in the world that we don't talk about.   However your perception is completely skewed based on what you see in the news.  This is causing a lot of ignorance, bigotry, and violence in this country. You pretend as if there haven't been Muslims for 1500 years.... Do you honestly think that there has been constant terrorism all this time?  We get things like Algebra and many other inventions from Islamic culture.  What's going on now in some countries is based on the region not the religion.  Don't know why that is so hard to understand.

  5194. xXtheStrayXx, Sorry, not buying it. The voters were dumb enough to vote for polices that went completely against their interest and fell for the obvious lies of a con man. Saying "you should have done better to convince me to not make dumb choices" is nothing more than a weak excuse. Everyone who voted for Trump needs to own up to their stupidity. Everyone who pretended that Hillary was just as bad because of emails or the unsubstantiated claims about the Clinton Foundation also needs to own up to their bullshit. The fact is the country ignored completely bullshit policies and a long history of lawsuits, racism, and scams because hating Hillary suddenly became fashionable.

  5195. There is a disturbing theme in these comments. Somehow people think if you support a person paying their taxes you also support war, corruption, etc. Tax money also goes towards saving many lives here and around the world as well as creating a stable functioning society, not just the policies we don't like.. To conflate unrelated policies to this specific case reflects a complete inability to understand nuance.

I don't have a problem with conspiracies. I have a problem with people ignoring evidence. I've spent far longer than you looking into chemtrails, aliens, lizard people, bilderburg, illuminate, skull & bones, masons, 911, and tons of other things.

However women actually fought for a right to wear a hijab because it was part of fashion, culture, tradition and they lifted the ban for universities and more recently the Military.

I'm more concerned about the cops who beat people every day and NEVER get stopped for doing it.

You can look at studies that clearly show how economic advantages/disadvantages get passed down through families for generations or you can be ignorant and think that the reason you're not in poverty compared to people in disadvantaged countries is because "you're special".

However when you pretend that facts are "opinions", that's when things get dangerous.

  5235. Jimmy W Nope, the idea that someone may feel patronized is subjective and does not directly imply "ill intent on behalf of all involved".  I can feel tired or angry without everyone around me being blamed or intending for it to happen.

  5246. ***** Identifying the problem and understanding how people are driven to certain types of cultures and mindsets is the first step in solving it.   All humans crave the same thing and we are all products of our environment. If I threw you in prison as a teenager for 10 years you would have a much different outlook on life than you do today. And no one said anything about "handing out free money".  That is a nonsense straw man fallacy.
    1
  5247. ***** 1. Of course not everyone growing up poor commits a crime.  However it is clear that crime is linked to poverty. That is the difference between an anecdote and a trend.  Which is why personal anecdotes are not used for science. 2. If you don't  know that environment effects psychology then I suggest taking a class in psychology.   It's usually one of the first things that is covered.  You can also read thousands of published studies freely available online that also demonstrate the well established connection between environment and psychology. You seem to be unconcerned with what science has to say and more concerned with hating a particular race who is also (statistically) disproportionately poor and disadvantaged.  Which correlates perfectly with the increased level of crime. It shows either intellectually dishonesty or ignorance on your part.  I'm guessing that it's the latter based on the environment you were raised in and the situations you were exposed to which gave you a skewed world view.

    1
  5251. ***** No I wouldn't want to "add up" all the black on white crime vs. white on black because that would be stupid and pointless.  Just as stupid and pointless as ignoring science for your own silly racist viewpoints.

  5252. ***** We both would.  Except one of us is so uninformed and terrified of black people that he thinks stepping into a poor back neighborhood somehow means instant death. lol....   I've been in plenty of poor neighborhoods all around the world and the only time I felt physically threatened was when I was walking through a poor neighborhood at night in Dublin.  However that doesn't mean I suddenly think all white people are violent. lol...   Perhaps one of these days you'll realize how racism only makes the world and your ideas smaller.

  5253. ***** Hate to burst your bubble, but I was born and raised in the US and spent most of my life in the deep south.  So I know everything about "black areas", "white areas", "asian areas" as well as nonsensical racial issues that come from both minorities and non-minorities. Not all Americans decide to live their lives in a bubble never knowing anything about different cultures or the rest of the world. So just because I've traveled around doesn't somehow mean I'm a "foreigner".  I will forgive your ignorance if you decide to educate yourself about other worldviews. EXPOSE YOURSELF to different ethnic groups through books, documentaries, hell just say "hello" and strike up a conversation with others.  If you do so you'll realize that other than differences in speech, food, music, and customs that people are really pretty much the same all over the world. They are just as interesting and boring as people in your own family.

Yes there are bad places where people sell drugs that you don't want to be around.  You also don't want to be around any trailer parks where people are making and selling meth or pain killers.  This is called common sense...  You really shouldn't be so small minded. Try volunteering at a soup kitchen in a black neighborhood so you can see that poor black people are not the scary monsters you think they are.

  5256. *****  LOL Do you somehow think that muggings, car jackings, or beatings  don't occur in Russia, the Ukraine, Ireland, or the UK?   Wow... I can't believe anyone would take such a profoundly moronic position. You do realize that Russia has a higher murder rate than African countries like Kenya, Cameron, Tunisia, etc.  Even Somalia has a lower murder rate.  But I guess facts don't really matter to people like you...  You would rather believe in anecdotal nonsense in order to prop up primitive ideas on skin color.  As if feeling good about people who share a similar skin color makes you feel better about yourself.  It's a product of low self esteem.  People who are scientific minded understand that violence has always been a product of one's environment and that poverty (inequality) and population density are by far the best indicators for crime and violence.  Which is why you find more violence in poor areas of densely populated cities than you do in the middle of Montana.
    1
  5257. PolakFury  Poverty and population density are well known indicators for violence and crime.  Which is why poor densely populated cities have far more crime then people spread out in the mountains or in Montana.  Which is also why densely populated poor areas in Ireland, London, etc. are also areas of high crime. Please look up actual research instead of just repeating bullshit.

It would be just as dumb to talk about how violent white people are compared to the few African immigrants in currently living in Ireland or Russia.
    1
  5260. PolakFury You have a tendency of making up your own topics as you go along...  No, the topic was about poverty and population density having an impact criminality and violence and race having no factor.  Which is clearly proven by looking at worldwide populations. However by cherry picking a few cases in the US (that you think fit your racist viewpoint) instead of looking at worldwide data (which any real scientist would) you are precisely "diverting the topic". This is a classic "overgeneralization" as well as "red herring" fallacy, and no I'm not dumb enough to fall for it.

  5261. According to Loren Collins who gave a lecture on this a few weeks ago, he said that birtherism started way before the 2008 election and after Obama's speech at the DNC in 2004. He thinks the very first reference to it was something completely benign. It was a legal blog where someone was asking "What if Obama wasn't born in the US and instead was born in Kenya" and they posed it as a theoretical question to just talk about the legality of it if he were to run for president given that his mother was a US citizen. Then right after that you can find various blogs and comments by conservatives talking about the idea as if it were real. The idea was there and was talked about but it didn't pick up steam until during and after the 2008 election. I find it funny that Trump has somehow gotten all the press to talk about Clinton bashing Obama in 2008, 8 YEARS AGO, while ignoring the comments by Trump just a couple years ago. Not to mention Trump asking Obama to prove that he graduated from Harvard. Why is something that Clinton "supporters" said 8 YEARS ago, more important than what Trump said just a couple years ago?

  5267. HyperOpinionated   Gee and here I thought computers were developed using those large government grants to universities and private labs during and after WW2,  Not to mention the internet that was started by the military.  And things like satellite communication and GPS that came out of the space race and NASA.  Not to mention silicon valley which was a direct result of military and NASA spending who pushed companies towards smaller components (semiconductors, microprocessors). I bet you have no idea how much innovation and technology comes from research grants. Or how much is actually invented by individuals at companies who actually make relatively little from their ideas.  As opposed to the people who have ownership. There is a lot more to a product than the advertising and branding a company puts on it and the fact is countries like Sweden, Finland, and Denmark who are far more "socialist" than we are receive top marks in innovation. Most of the innovation coming out of the US are left overs from the initial investment and boom in Silicon Valley which is really no longer in this country.
    1
  5268. HyperOpinionated   1. Grants don't have anything to do with capitalism either.  Which was my point.   My point isn't about soclialsm my point is that innovation comes from people.  Making a buck or owning the means of production has little to do with it.   Most people doing real hard research in the sciences which may eventually get monetized "some day" are not doing it to run a business.  They are doing it out of curiosity, creativity, and personal achievement. 2. If the US didn't have a stable government, currency, and regulatory environment, patents, grants, and subsidies, public education, roads, bridges, court systems, police, Treasury, US postal service, etc. etc. It would also have next to no innovation as well.  Capitalism doesn't come from nothing, it is created by laws and enforced by governments as well as treaties between governments.. 3. Sometimes they do use the private citizens and sometimes they don't  NASA and the "space age" and the thousands of patents that came out of that would never have happened  The Military also had a huge impact on technology. Without these purely non capitalistic investments you could say good by to your computer, internet, cellphone, GPS, microwave, duct tape, medical isotopes, and thousands of other things.
    1
  5269. HyperOpinionated  1. Sorry but "self interest" existed long before capitalism which is a very specific economic system. However people try to conflate capitalism with every single thing out there.  Which is really part of the propaganda that you repeated in your first statement.  The suggestion that everything good came out of capitalism. Grants are given to individuals and all sorts of, private and public institutions. It is not based on capitalism but rather public interest.  Again.  Wozniak and Jobs did not invent the computer or the PC....  It was invented long before them.  So was satellite communication, internet, etc.  We've already covered this yet you keep repeating the same falsehoods. The idea that you think these things came from Apple just because of the branding and advertising is a reflection of the sad state of brainwashing in our country... R&D magazine suggests that 90% of the innovations in the last 40 years are all the result of federal funding.  Of course you wouldn't know that because the government doesn't advertise and the people who actually invented these things, rather than merely profiting from them, are unknown. 2. Again capitalism is a system setup by  governments.  You have it backwards...     You cannot have capitalism the way we know it today without currency, a treasury, and federal backed banking.  Not to mention all companies (LLC, Corporations, etc.) are entities created and regulated by the government.   Without which they would not exist.  Just like you can't have football without rules, a ball, and a stadium.  The government provides all the infrastructure needed for these games (markets) to be played.  Before there was a US government there were the colonial governments and the British Empire that served the same purpose. 3.  There is also nothing done in the US that isn't done without relying on socialization.
    1
  5270. HyperOpinionated 1. Capitalism doesn't exist without the laws, currencies, and regulations that government provides period.  Without government(s) there is only barter and simplistic exchanges.  I dare you to find any evidence to the contrary. 2. Capitalism is good at distributing certain kinds of resources and products as well as making refinements to various technologies, but it is horrible on the environment, managing resources, or stabilizing economies, taking care of the sick, disabled.   It also promotes mental illness, corruption, inequality, and violence. However for large endeavors and large leaps in technology ( trains, roads, air travel, space travel, computers, communication, energy, etc.).  These require large investments that doesn't immediately yield profit.  3. I could make up some wild improbable thing that you think capitalism does, but it would be just as silly and nonsensical. 4. If governments are not necessary for capitalism show me one instance where it is functioning without government backing.  For something that has been around for over 500 years surely you must have many such examples....   It is simply the brainwashing I was referring to that leads you to think the two are not related.  The reality is the capitalism and government are directly related like Siamese twins.  One cannot grow without the other.

  5271. HyperOpinionated You know....  When you proceed to regurgitate the typical libertarian mantra while completely ignoring the facts I laid out as well as the clear questions I just asked then you're only reinforcing my point that this is more about brainwashing, dogma, and blind ideology. 1. You still haven't demonstrated a single case that proves your point.  Where is this capitalism without government?    Reciting mantra only proves that you know how to repeat stuff... 2.  Humans being social creatures and living in groups has always been the core part of our  survival.   It's the whole reason why we developed language, live in tribes, and created societies.   For hundreds of thousands of years we hunted in groups, gathered food in groups, and built each other's shelters as a group. There are dozens of a examples of tribal cultures all around the world still living in this same way today. There is no "natural state" of constantly competing other than for leadership or women. 3. There are at least a dozen countries that are far more socialist than the US.  (Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Germany, Canada, etc.) not one is in an active war or constantly bombing other countries... In fact our police kill 70 times the number of  other first world countries.  We're also at the top of the list for imprisoning far more of our population than other first world countries. So please wake up and bring facts not your brainwashing about how socialism = totalitarianism. It's like you would rather go through life in a dream like state believing the propaganda sold to you by think tanks without ever looking into whether it is true or not...
    1
  5272. HyperOpinionated   You 'd like to think you are an independent thinker, but it's clear you are not.  Have you ever actually looked at the data on taxes as a percentage of GDP, socialist policies and authoritarianism, violence, health, and war?   Or do you just blindly make assumptions? People who are scientifically minded actually care about the numbers.  Unlike you, I've actually looked at the data, because I rely on facts not propaganda. The other problem is that you think that the economic system and the governing system are somehow unrelated when in reality one effects the other.  If you can corrupt the system with money then that system isn't  effective.  This is no different than a Banana Republic.  So this is why studies show when their is less economic equality in society then there is more violence, authoritarianism, etc.   If you believe that all government is evil and the existence of government itself is the problem, then explain how countries with far more government (as a percentage of GDP) and much more socialism (banking, healthcare, etc.) imprison less people, don't engage in war, lead happier lives, have better health coverage, and even have more buying power than we do? I'll ask you for the third and final time.  Where is a SINGLE example of capitalism without government functioning anywhere in the world and at any point in history? The fact that you can't even answer a simple question.  Basically implies that you really don't care about anything other than having an ideology.
    1
  5273. HyperOpinionated Instead of presenting any facts or evidence you simply come up with one straw man after another.  No I never brought up utopia, never said happiness is quantifiable (although there is something called "polling"), never said good and evil are quantifiable.   Since you can't support your arguments or answer my questions you just start making up what I think so you can argue against it.  This is stereotypical of someone with weak arguments. It's also clear from your phrase "leftist professors" where your particular brand of brainwashing comes from....  The idea that being educated somehow makes someone "left" is pretty sad.  It shows just how bad the propaganda is. Secondly, you really don't understand what Capitalism is...  Trade existed long before Capitalism.  They are not one in the same.  It's like the difference between a car and a transmission or engine. Capitalism is primarily identified by the private ownership of the means of production.  Which means that people who own companies with laborers, own stock/commodities, venture capitalists or vulture capitalists (where they own companies long enough to downsize and profit) are "capitalists".  So people like Warren Buffet, Mitt Romney, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Koch Bothers, George Soros, and most people in any high level position in the financial industry.   It doesn't require skill to produce or make anything it requires skill to own and manipulate debt/money. Trading your labor or selling your car is not capitalism it is trade. The fact that I have my own company to sell my labor doesn't make me a "capitalist". http://www.differencebetween.net/business/difference-between-capitalism-and-free-market/ This is why people classify the former Soviet Union as "state capitalism"  It is the propaganda coming out of well funded think tanks is what makes you think capitalism is somehow different than it is.
    1
  5274. HyperOpinionated No, you are describing trade not capitalism.  Did you not read the link I posted specifically describing the difference? All governments and most individuals throughout history engaged in trade from the Chinese, to the Aztecs, to the Egyptians.  This is not the same as capitalism.  If you don't understand the distinction then you really have no idea what you're fighting for.   Capitalism, socialism (which all economies are a mixture of), fascism, dictatorships, are all separate things.  Know the difference. Otherwise you're just being manipulated.
    1
  5275. HyperOpinionated I did read your reply.  Did you read mine? If you own something and sell it you are still trading.  The only difference is the medium of exchange. Here's a definition for you: --Trade involves the transfer of the ownership of goods or services from one person or entity to another in exchange for other goods or services or for money. Possible synonyms of "trade" include "commerce" and "financial transaction". Capitalism has less to do with "personal" means of production and has more to do with owning the means of production of others. This is how the propaganda works.  People like the Koch brothers will sell you on the fantasy of  "liberty" and "freedom" while ignoring the real premise of capitalism and the reality of how wealth is accumulated at the expense of others.  So people like you end up blindly supporting an oligarchy without ever knowing it... Still waiting for you to reply to anything I stated.  And please don't just parrot talking points or slogans.
    1
  5276. HyperOpinionated  Once again you're making straw man arguments.  Sorry, but I never said that anyone engaging in trade can't be engaged in capitalism or vice versa.  In fact I specifically said that trade is a part of capitalism but not all trade is capitalism.  Just like all cars have engines but not all engines are in cars. I even posted a link to an article that says the same thing.  So you're either blatantly lying or not reading what I wrote. Furthermore, if that sole proprietorship is nothing more than a worker and isn't banker or investor.  Then yes it is not capitalism. A capitalist is someone who makes money from capital, which is usually money, but can be other assets like real estate: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitalist  Capitalism is a society that supports this mechanism of wealth generation. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/capitalism Simply trading your labor or selling the fruits of your labor is NOT capitalism it is trade. Most people have absolutely no clue of this distinction.  They think that anything to do with trading and anything to do with markets is capitalism.  It isn't. For example a Worker Owned Coorpertive is not capitalism:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative Although I'm sure in your mind if it's not called "capitalism" then it must be Marxism (which I'm sure you have no idea what that means either), communism, or a dictatorship. This is precisely the brainwashing I was referring to in my original comment.   People have absolutely no clue what capitalism is, but they mindlessly argue and vote to support capitalists against their own damn interests.  They just accept the brainwashing handed to them by paid shills.

  5277. HyperOpinionated So sticking your head in the sand and ignoring facts which disagree with your prenotions.  Got it. Disappointing, but typical cognitive dissonance.   You don't want to listen to anything that goes against what you want to believe. This is the power of the constant propaganda in this country flooding though radio, television, internet, etc.   Everyone is programmed with a feel good ideology they want to believe in.

  5281. bjbell52 It's not PP job to fight against the government.  It's especially not their job to be partisan and fight against Republicans.  That's our job.  We expect people to follow government when it comes to things like same sex marriage, we shouldn't be hypocritical and expect defiance when the government isn't on our side on an issue.

  5284. Helmholtz the Mule Watson The water analogy made no sense.... Have no idea what you were going for there. I'm sure there are issues in reforming the police force, but whatever those issues are should take first priority in resolving them. However relying on "death squads" shouldn't be the preferred option: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davao_death_squads You have to see the long term implications of promoting these kinds of groups. they are groups not answerable to the people and once they gain power they won't want to relinquish that power.

  5287. Dan Cipher Someone who throws tantrums in comment sections isn't using "facts".....
    1
  5288. Dan Cipher Well the fact is that homicides have skyrocketed in the Philippines. Many of those homicides are due to vigilantism and people don't know if the people are killed are innocent or not. So regardless of your sentiments and feelings, my assumptions were proven correct. If you're going to comment about "facts" you really need to be prepared to use them, but it really doesn't sound like you care about facts or the massive amount of deaths there. You only care about how these things make you feel. Sorry but that is an irrational way of looking at things.

  5289. ***** No, facts are facts... If you have facts you present them otherwise you're just making shit up.

  5290. ***** Key phrase you missed is "innocent guy"....

  5291. Dan Cipher Because it's easy to find, but apparently you don't care enough to look for it. Here is the detailed data. It is categorized by people killed by police during shootouts (as well as those killed AFTER they were in custody). Those killed by unidentified people, as well as those that were just bodies found with a sign or no sign. http://news.abs-cbn.com/specials/map-charts-the-death-toll-of-the-war-on-drugs You can change the data to see the numbers you're interested in, however it's clear that all sets of numbers have dramatically since the policy was putting into place. These are not just drug dealers, many are just users, many we have no idea if they were involved at all with drugs. Someone just decided they should be dead and killed them. The fact that you're threatening me with violence just shows the disturbing mentality that is breeding over there. If you think that beating or killing people who simply disagree with your ideology is an answer then it means that you're going down a very dark place... Authoritarianism, violence, executions, is not a long term answer to anything and I hope that one of these days you realize that.
    1
  5292. Dan Cipher Just because I'm pointing out the wrongs in a another country doesn't mean I don't understand the many wrongs in my own country. That's what it means to be objective. I don't want people killed or imprisoned for doing drugs or alcohol in any country. I also don't want hatred, violence, and authoritarianism to be the answer in any country.

  5293. Rick Grimes No, that's called a straw man.
    1
  5294. Rick Grimes I don't need to live in your country to see that the number of deaths has spiked because of this policy and many of the people killed have been innocent or unknown. People like you who blindly defend this policy never actually look at the numbers. Either case I don't condone killing people simply for doing drugs.
    1
  5295. Rick Grimes The fact remains that after this policy the murder rate skyrocketed and many of the people killed were not found to be guilty. This is not based on "media" this is based on facts based on actual deaths that are being tracked there. So please stop being a child and thinking that everything is some kind of american conspiracy and look at the damn data yourself..

  5298. I get what Ben is saying. There is a difference between getting some cake mix, following the directions, and making a cake vs using the cake mix as a base or starting point for your own creation. Working with speech writers, crafting a message, figuring out what personal experiences you want to include in it, the tone you're trying to set, etc. Is different than just taking a speech someone wrote and reciting it. There is a world of difference between Obama and Palin.

For a long time I was in the camp that if Clinton secured the nomination that Trump would have a 50/50 chance of winning, but about 3-4 months ago I switched and was like "no way". Hillary may be a bad candidate but her and her campaign are far too prepared for this thing... Meanwhile Trump and his campaign really don't know WTF they're doing. What worked in the republican primary is not something that is going to work in the general and Clinton is going to destroy him in the debates so badly that his reputation is going to be ruined forever. The tax return thing alone will be enough to destroy him....

  5302. It's clear that the guy in the yellow shirt simply wants to push his moral beliefs on everyone else... There is already research on legalization from various cases around the world. If he truly cared about outcomes he would be citing those studies. Furthermore he was freaked out because he smelled pot in Denver and it was different than smelling cigarettes? Really? Sorry but I'm willing to smell pot every once in a while if it means not supporting cartels and not throwing millions in prison.

  5303. How does the libertarian economy work? One word "magic". As long as there are no laws or regulations and little to no taxes everything will just work through "magic". There is no other reasoning that is based on actual measurements other than that. The entire mindset is "I don't like taxes or laws that tell me what to do, so therefore I will justify that not having them will magically make everything better.". Libertarians (at least the uninformed ones) fail to realize that all society and all human development is based on many social contracts. Money and even language are social contracts. Governments, laws, taxes, etc. are all extensions of that. No one is an island and no human has ever benefitted without relying on the health and wealth of their community.

  5304. Jordan/Michael this idea that we shouldn't report on Trump's connections to Russia because of what he might do is just as silly as not reporting on the DNC wikileaks because Trump the election. You didn't censor yourself then, so why now? Because of cognitive dissonance of pretending the Russia thing was a DNC non-story all that time? Instead of self censoring yourself or down playing the evidence because of your fear of Trump why not report the facts and also report on Trump's possible childish responses to those facts?

  5305. +BramSLI1 Meat is NOT unhealthy. Unhealthy meat is unhealthy. There is no long living purely vegetarian society in this world. The excesses of our society are a problem, but to somehow label all meat as bad is just as stupid. Unprocessed sugars are far worse for you and they are plant based.

  5306. Leesa Michaels It's pretty clear that you don't read anything you're responding to and it's bad when you can't even follow your own statements...   Let's try this again.  I'll try to go slow. I said this.... :  "Meat is NOT unhealthy. Unhealthy meat is unhealthy." Then YOU responded with this...:   "There’s now a large body of evidence that bowel cancer is more common among people who eat the most red and processed meat." Notice how my comment says there are some unhealthy meats and healthy meats.  Meanwhile your response basically suggests that process meats might be unhealthy.    In other words your response does not refute what I just said that there are some meats that are unhealthy, but not all meats are unhealthy.  Do you get it now? Or are still having trouble following? It's important to the learning process for you to be able to understand and follow basic logic.
    1
  5307. Leesa Michaels  lol...  a clear example of projection.   Sorry, I'm not going to fall for your obvious trick of taking a portion of your comment out of context and saying "isn't this part true?!" This is your entire response to my comment: ------------------------- +oolong2 says the usual obtuse nonsense that "Meat is NOT unhealthy. Unhealthy meat is unhealthy." Nonsense... There’s now a large body of evidence that bowel cancer is more common among people who eat the most red and processed meat. ------------------------------ Clearly my comment was not "nonsense". Clearly your study did not refute my comment. Clearly you're talking nonsense now to make up for the fact that your response to my comment made no logical sense.   Clearly I'm having a lot of fun time pointing this out over and over because it is really funny watching someone contort and twist themselves into knots in an attempt to pretend that they are "right" :-)

If there was anything in Bernie's record that Hillary could have exposed, she would have done it by now. The fact is Bernie's record is one of the cleanest in congress. You can't say that at all about Hillary. Trump will pound Hillary with her record and her corruption and come out ahead simply because he will be seen as an outsider.

  5316. I thought you "got it" Thom, but clearly you don't.... Why are you comparing the campaigns of two centrists when there is a clear uprising fighting against BOTH of those politicians? Sorry, but the typical politics of the past and the party in-fighting that takes place during a nomination is NOT what is going on here. The more you continue to not realize that the more you will lose credibility. People are not voting for their favorite candidate in their favorite party. They are fighting for the soul of the country.

So he did it without thinking and was like "oh shit" when it happened. 2. He said to himself. "Damn. I'm way too fat to be chasing that guy so let me shoot him instead"

  5320. Maybe we start with acknowledging our own "Death Cult" that started with the neocons taking over our government and justifying killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, displacing millions, and torture. Not to mention the cultists that justify constant occupation, embargos and death of Palestinians and their children under the guise that Israeli lives are somehow more valuable than Palestinian lives when it comes to going after terrorists. These cultists still exist and until we formally repudiate that mindset with trials and prosecutions we don't have a leg to stand on... Especially when that mindset justifies the anti US sentiment going on in that region today.
    1
  5321. K Russell First off this video is about "death cults" not "anti US sentiment".  So understand what you're commenting on.  Secondly it's pretty sad to think that "criticism" is the same as being "anti US".  This primitive attitude is no different than the theocratic regimes in Iran, Saudi Arabia, ISIS, etc.   It's the same right wing nonsense that punishes free thought in order to uphold their dogma and ignorance.  If you want to understand the world use science, spare me the meaningless rhetoric and labels.

However they do have a responsibility to protect the company/organizations against behavior/insubordination that works against the goals of the organization. So comparing the punitive actions of ESPN and the NFL is pretty ridiculous given the context.

  5324. TentaclePentacle So apparently people don't realize that immigration is a LONG process.  It doesn't happen in days, weeks, or months.   It takes YEARS...  Even when you're a refugee it takes YEARS.  So when you say "stop all muslim immigration".  What exactly are you talking about?  How exactly does that help anything when most mass shootings in the US are from citizens (mostly non-Muslims) who have been here their whole life? Also how would you enforce this policy?  Would you somehow have a "religious test" to see how Muslim a person might be?  How Christian are you?  Is there a test I can give you to find out?

  5325. TentaclePentacle Who is that? And why would I care what he says?

  5326. TentaclePentacle  I don't exactly know what a "liberal Muslim" is, but I don't have to call him a racist bigot.  I can simply call him "wrong" since I have no idea what his real positions are.   However this country has had a long history of being anti-immigrant to various groups over the years.  Italians, Irish, Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Mexicans, and now Muslims. Even Catholics were at one point demonized for a long time in this country.  But through all that bullshit guess what happened? NOTHING.  We're fine.  And 20 years from now we'll be passed this Muslim nonsense and we'll be fine too.   And people will look back on people like Trump and all the people demonizing Muslims for political gain as just another chapter in our long history of bigotry and xenophobia.
    1
  5327. TentaclePentacle So now you want me to argue with someone else's speech?  If the arguments are so clear and persuasive you should have no problems repeating them.   Did you even post a speech?

  5328. The point is that this shows that he Trump campaign is a mess... I've said it many times. Trump could easily beat Hillary if he or his campaign knew WTF they were doing, but they don't. Hillary's well oiled machine is going to steamroll his campaign.

  5335. Rasp ONeill I'm not talking about you I'm talking about favorability ratings and Kyle's argument. Any individual out there can hate two people as equally as they want, however in aggregate there is a clear bias against Clinton that you wouldn't find with Obama or even most politicians.
    1
  5336. Bambi .On Toast Kyle never uses the words "hate" and "despise" when it comes to Obama.... Even though Obama is the one pushing the TPP more than any other politician out there. Nor does he ever even talk about anything positive that Clinton has ever done. Usually it's only the standard list of negatives. So there is a clear bias there and he spends most of the time pandering to the left over hate from the primaries from Bernie Sanders supporters. There is actually zero evidence to support that she would "unlikely do anything as positive as him [Obama]". This is nothing more than conjecture based on a bias against Clinton who shares many of the same faults and influences as Obama. The fact is the democratic platform is more progressive than it's ever been (thanks to Sanders) and Hillary has been pushed to the left farther than she's ever been. However most people just discount it as "well we don't believe her". Which is not based on anything other than an emotional response and pretending that those same special interests that have been working with Obama for 8 years will somehow have a greater impact when it comes to Clinton.
    1
  5337. "This is just like what "Debbie Wasserman Schultz did during the campaign"? Wow Kyle your Hillary Derangement Syndrome knows no bounds. Yes DWS was screwed over Bernie and tried to strong arm the media, but there's a HUGE difference between a CANDIDATE trying to get the best coverage they can get to win a race vs the POTUS strong arming the media so that they cannot be a watch dog over the government. One is a candidate and the other has REAL POWER to make life and death decisions over us and the entire world not to mention he has real power to effect Turner's profits. The difference couldn't be any more clear. Obama never tried to make the media only say good things about him.

  5338. The people who created Twitter & Google are not millennials Ana... That would be like calling Cenk a millennial. Malala Yousafzai is also NOT a millennial. What the hell TYT?

You're only proving their point by doing such crap research...

  5348. Hypnotic Synopsis States are not people. Where you happen to live shouldn't give you a bigger democratic voice than someone else. What we have is not democratic.
    1
  5349. Hypnotic Synopsis Again, states are not people. Evert person should be equally valuable in a democracy. Landmasses, corporations, and wealth are not important in a democracy, people are. Giving more power to a person based on where they live violates the idea of "one person, one vote". States have their own government and representation, whereas the president is supposed to represent all people. The electoral college was created specifically to circumvent democracy.
    1
  5350. John Charles You either believe in "one person one vote" or your don't. Just because there are more people in CA doesn't mean that a person's vote in CA should worth less than someone else's. If you want to make an argument against democracy then just say "I don't like democracy". Otherwise no matter how you parse it more people voted for one candidate and not the other. If you actually believe that elites should determine who the president is and not the people then understand that most of the political elite would have overwhelmingly voted for Clinton and not Trump. But the reality is you don't believe that, you're simply trying to justify an outcome.
    1
  5351. John Charles The electoral college is made up of political elites. That is what the electoral college is. I'm very aware of how are government works, I've been against the electoral college all my life, because of principle not based on an election. Honestly if you think that it's whining then it's really you who lack principles. If you truly believe that elections should be decided based on elites then own up to it, stop dancing around it. IT seriously pisses me off when people get into their partisan corners and start defending shit they don't really believe. If that is what you believe then it also means that you think we should do away with voting in primaries and that parties should go back to deciding candidates behind closed doors like they used to, because that's the way it was for a long time until we decided that things should be more democratic. But I believe in open primaries, getting rid of "super-delegates". I believe this country should move towards democracy as it has been over the last couple centuries not away from it. But if you think everything should stay the way it was in 1788 then by all means shut off your brain, because clearly you're not using it.
    1
  5352. Hypnotic Synopsis omg please educate yourself.... Obamacare was estimated to cost 1.2 trillion in taxes over the next decade but it is also estimated to save 2.6 trillion in healthcare costs over the next 5 years. In other words it saves the economy a couple trillion over the next decade. Also Obamacare also has nothing to do with the debt/deficit.
    1
  5353. Hypnotic Synopsis Knowing one thing doesn't magically make you knowledgeable about something else. Clearly you're not as informed on policy and politics as you should be. Probably because you're too busy with school. That's exactly how propaganda works. When people are too busy with work/school/life to get into the details, people craving power can create a simplistic narrative that is easy to understand and people will believe it even if it's not true. Think about politics like your sciences. Without the scientific method you wouldn't know whether something is true or not in science. Yet people don't apply that mindset when it comes to politics. Why not? If you actually want to know whether something is true or not it has to be tested, verified with data, and repeatable. We accept this without question when it comes to science, yet when it comes to politics we devolve into cheerleaders for a football game. Everyone votes for their team regardless of reality. Which is a completely insane way of dealing with life or death problems.
    1
  5354. Hypnotic Synopsis Even though it is obvious that Russia has been trying to manipulate the election through selective hacking and false stories (that Trump blindly repeated during the campaign) I don't want war with Russia either. In many ways the country is being run in the same corrupt way that it has been for decades. We're just more aware of it now. We are far more controlled by money than we used to be which is the only branch of power that has no check. It is a problem that exists all over the world. I wish that all governments were run based on scientific findings rather than opinions and speculation.

  5360. GiantSandles Again 72% of the population were in favor of the Iraq war. There is scarcely a politician that exists who wasn't in favor if it. You might as well turn to your neighbor and blame him as well. Lots of liberals were also in favor of intervention in Libya because people were dying by the thousands, not everything is black and white. Just because we have the benefit if hindsight doesn't make every decision an easy one.

  5361. TheThrashyOne Again, most people would call that "democracy". You can't be conveniently against it when the results are not what you want.
    1
  5362. GiantSandles I didn't say she shouldn't be accountable for her vote. I'm just putting it into perspective. She was following the will of the people. Some would call that democracy. She also went to the left in response to the popular support of Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders stood up against the Iraq Resolution, even though most of the country was against that idea. Some would call that leadership. Now that same leadership, that same insight and judgment that was proven to be correct is telling people like you to support Hillary Clinton. However when it's someone you don't like you don't believe it. I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt, and the more I thought about it and weighed the issues. The more began to see this perspective. I can see Hillary as someone who is pretty smart, works hard, has great temperament, does well under pressure, knows how to wield power and doesn't buckle to the republicans, and if you go down the issues she really isn't bad. Not as great as Bernie, but not bad. However if all you are is triggered by emails and Clinton Foundation innuendos, then you're not going to see straight.
    1
  5363. GiantSandles No, there was absolutely no guarantee that there would be tens of thousands of deaths and destabilize the region. Again, for you people that don't know jack about the situation back then. Many people voted for the Iraq Resolution in order to create leverage against Saddam so that he would go ahead with the inspections (although the administration lied about this as well and the UN inspectors were already on the ground). The vote WAS NOT a vote to go to war (only an authorization for the Bush administration to use force), it was not a vote on how that war was waged, it was not a vote for torture, abu ghraib, gitmo, targeting thousands of civilians, having ZERO plan for the Iraq aftermath, disbanding the Iraqi army, allowing an illegitimate leaders to seize power, and battling an insurgency for years. None of that was part of the original vote, yet somehow people think that it was.

No, this is all based on emotional bullshit.... We try to justify conclusions that we want nothing more. No different than when we suddenly decide that a child should be tried as an adult simply because the crime they committed was horrible. It's nothing more than primitive bloodlust.

Racists will always be racists, homophobes will always be homophobes, Xenophoobes will aways be Xenophobes, etc.? https://www.wired.com/2009/01/racetraining/ If you think these things are absolute and that the human brain isn't capable of change, then perhaps it's your own hatred that needs to be overcome.

  5369. ramiro ojeda So we kill one person because of the people around him reinforce an idea? Perhaps it's better to attack the idea rather than simply killing the few people who act on those ideas. Mental health in prisons don't get much attention because the entire prison system is built around revenge.

  5370. ramiro ojeda I didn't say that you were. However the context of my OP was the death penalty... Furthermore we as a society have changed ideas all the time. Smoking, Gay Relationships/Marriage, Marijuana use, these things have changed dramatically over the past two decades. If as a society we decide to tackle something it can be done. It's like when we used to think that diseases were caused by "bad humors" or "bad blood" so we would do things like blood letting. These were crude methods that would rarely solve the problem. Then eventually we learned about bacteria and viruses and realized that there were ways of preventing these diseases through clean water, clean hands, inoculation, anti-biotics, etc. What we have now is crude and ineffective whereas if you look at places like Norway that actually treat criminal behavior and has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world.

  5371. Your analysis is absolutely flawed regarding money in politics.... You can't use the presidential primary to comment on the HUGE issue of money in politics. Presidential candidates get a lot of free coverage from the press, through debates, commentary, pundits, etc. Money has much more of an impact in the very beginning of a presidential campaign, because the press will not even pay attention to candidates who don't have a certain amount of money raised and those candidates will likely never see a debate. However money has a much bigger impact overall at the state and local level where there is far less free coverage for each candidate. Their was a study done a couple years ago that showed pretty clearly that the candidate with the most money were over 90% more likely to win the election. Furthermore politicians spend more of their time raising money than they do legislating. They literally spend all day on the phone with donors trying to raise money. Are certain donors going to more willing to give money to those candidates who share certain opinions and will those politicians change or alter their opinions based on the likelihood of raising money from those donors? You betcha.... Lastly there is the revolving door where politicians will turn into lobbyist or consultants for the same companies that have funded their campaigns for years. There is a huge conflict of interest when you're working towards a payday at the end of your political career.

  5401. GunFuMaster  We also weren't designed, naturally selected, or evolved to drive a car yet many do so every day. If you want to define society based on what we evolved to do you are fighting a much larger battle than just homosexuality.  However the fact that homosexuality exists in every culture suggests that it is a natural phenomenon and not a cultural one and the fact that it's been part of humanity for at least a few thousand years (based on historical documents) suggests that it isn't a trait that has inhibited us as a species in any way.  So your claims about what is "natural" is based purely on bigotry, it is no different than the religious justifications that where made against interracial marriage a few decades ago or the religious justifications for slavery a century before that.  Of course today you probably think those people were stupid and misguided, just like people will think the same of you a few decades from now...

  5402. It's all about tradeoffs... Today automobile accidents cause about 30-40 thousand deaths each year. I'm sure the majority of that is due to human error or drunk driving.

  5406. +magottyk He buys water, steaks, and magazines for his hotels and clubs. To actually sell something you have to get someone to buy it besides yourself.

    1
  5407. magottyk Then clearly you don't know what re-branding and marketing is.  Because re-branding and marketing isn't creating a magazine just to give out for free to your hotel and club, it isn't buying water to put your own label on it so you can put it into your hotel.   This is something that ALL hotels do, pretending that it's a business is called a "lie"
    1
  5408. magottyk Every large hotel runs a cafe and gift shop.  Every large hotel sells water to it's guests and many times that water is rebranded, but usually they only do that if it's water for a room. When was the last time you went to a cafe or restaurant and they put a different label on the bottle?  They don't do that because it's a waste of money and stupid.  People want to know what water they are drinking and wasting money to print another label just so you can have your face on it, is pretty stupid. The bottom line is that Trump's "products" failed miserably in any real market, so the only way he can get people to use them is by forcing them upon a captive audience in his hotels and clubs.   No, people are not going to a Trump resort just for the water and steaks and magazine anymore than someone would go to a Hilton resort for the water, steaks, and magazine.

  5410. -" it doesn't "magically result in rich people investing into that country" but poor people don't invest at all. " Exactly, which is why you implement policies (safety nets, education, healthcare, wages) so that poor move into middle class and you have a much larger pool contributing to the overall economy. --"Also as is evident from every socialist country now in operation that Sanders type policies aren't "middle out" they are bottom up." Examples please? Because all the countries that Bernie Sanders talks about (Denmark, Sweden, Germany, etc.) are doing quite well economically. --" Having a $15 min wage but charging even them 60% taxes" It all depends on your buying power and what you're getting back in taxes. If you're getting a $10 wage and paying 20% in taxes but paying 50% of your wages for healthcare and school debt then you're in a much worse situation. Look at the bigger picture. --" Indegogo campaigns are nice and all but account for such a tiny portion of total investments thats laughable" TYT has literally raised millions online in various campaigns. Not to mention their memberships. So I have no idea what you're talking about. You're the one who took a single factoid and assumed that was how TYT was funded. "NOT A SINGLE leader or inhabitant of a 3rd world country makes the top 20 richest people in the world" And? You basically just made my point for me. lol... Those 3rd world countries all have super low taxes, low investment in their infrastructure, unstable currencies, little regulation, etc. In other words without taxes and investment in the people and infrastructure you can only grow the economy so much.... There is a reason why taxes increased in the US along with the economy. We invested in railroads, public schools, libraries, federal highway system, works program, healthcare and retirement for the elderly (which lifted a huge burden from families), even NASA was an investment that contributed to a lot to the technology that we have today (GPS, cellphones, computers, etc.). As well as countless other things. All of these things gave more equality of opportunity to millions of people. No progressives are educated and informed. You guys are just brainwashed by a lot of propaganda so you believe that the world still reflects the cold war from 30 years ago . Meanwhile most of the world has moved on to policies that actually work, not some bullshit ideology. You really need to stop believing that the world is as simplistic as "Communists vs Capitalism" that notion is complete bullshit.
    1
  5411. Not all the countries I mentioned are somehow bordered by Russia and a threat by Russia. Also let's not be naive and pretend that the US spends more than all other countries on military and bases around the world out of the goodness of it's heart. Obviously it's for influence not "defense". The key word there is that you're taxed on "profit" minus your expenses which includes your employee wages. Yes corporations and wealthy individuals buy a lot of influence in our government so that they benefit more from loopholes than you do. So yes they get richer at your expense. They buy dollars/bonds in Venezuela and other countries because the US invests a lot on regulation and central banking. The dollar is a fiat currency which only has value because it is backed by the US government the dollar. The government is stable and the currency is regulated so therefore the dollar is stable. There is a reason they weren't buying bitcoins.... You pretend as if the US is pure free market capitalism or something. It never has been. Nowhere in the world has it ever existed. All of this regulation and stability is what you and I have benefited from. Yes there are problems, yes there is corruption, but that doesn't somehow mean that all regulation and spending is somehow bad.
    1
  5412. 1st off lets acknowledge that Venezuela is nowhere near #1 in equality like you claimed. Secondly Iran is 2% higher than the US not 12%. Third comparing countries that have similar style governments, economies, and modernization is of course going to be more beneficial than comparing those that are completely different. Which is why we focus on those countries like Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Iceland, etc. Fourth the measurement of income equality doesn't account for the economic polices of those countries., it is simply a measurement. Lastly this whole idea that somehow things can't be done in this county simply because we have a lot of people is nothing but pure bullshit.... The fact is we already have federal roads, bridges, public school system, minimum wage, medicare, social security, police, firemen, and post offices all over this country delivering mail day after day for over TWO HUNDRED FREAKING YEARS... Not to mention railroads, oil & gas subsidies, land grant programs, GI bill, and hundreds of other programs that at the time benefited and greatly expanded this country.

  5413. Speaking of Straw men, I never said that you said "there should be no regulation or services". So you must be replying to someone else. Speaking of Straw men again, I don't recall anyone every claiming that there shouldn't be a ceiling to taxation. It would be just as silly as asking Ben: "Should taxes be 0% then"? It's perfectly okay to say that the rich or large corporations should pay less taxes or more taxes to fund investments into our infrastructure, education, and economy without devolving into nonsense hypothetical 100% vs 0% taxes. "BTW we had roads and schools and subsidies BEFORE income tax as well...." So?... Those things were funded with taxes as well. Just because we taxed through other means (tariffs, poll taxes, excise taxes, etc.) doesn't change the fact that we used taxes to fund policies to help the country. How we collect the taxes doesn't change the argument.
    1
  5414. So equality was better before the economy tanked. Sounds about right. There are not many countries are same size of the US so your argument is moot. You might as well say that countries with colder climates have higher HDI, because it would be the same irrelevant correlation. However what you're NOT saying is whether we have implemented the same policies for healthcare (Which is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US), Education (students are 1.3 trillion in debt ), and Wages (wages have flat-lined despite productivity going up) as those other countries and what kind of impact that has on. Guess what? There is waste EVERYWHERE.... I hate to burst your bubble, but you have the same waste in the private sector. A couple years ago I worked for a large corporation where my bosses were willing to waste 1.5 million a year on a product providing a service that we could have done in house for a fraction of the cost. The reason? Politics, nothing more. This happens in big corporations everywhere. Guess where all that waste in the government is going to? IT'S GOING TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR! LOL.... It's going to companies like Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, and hundreds of other PRIVATE companies who pay off politicians to get private contracts and charge enormous fees. That's why campaign finance reform is so important, because without democratic representation, these corporations, these oligarchs, will continue use the government to screw over people like you. That's why they don't want single payer healthcare or free college education because many large corporations will stand to lose millions if not billions of dollars on the private sector "waste" that they profit from today. We've spent 40 years practicing Reaganomics (in one form or another), it's about time we stop this trickle down nonsense. It doesn't work it never has. Bush cut taxes on the wealthy and we ended up trillions in debt and a huge deficit. Trump wants to do it again. They tried it with that health care bill, and now they're trying it again.

However unlike Trump she knows WTF she's doing and she has real actionable policy ideas when it comes to Taxation, Education, Environment, Gun Control, Private Prisons, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Foreign Policy, etc. As opposed to just "winging it" and not studying a damn thing like Trump. I will take "3rd term Obama" over mindless bravado, fascism, and racist policies any day.

  5423. Simon Jonathon Well the fact is the platform that she's running on is miles more progressive than the platform that Trump is running on. A platform that Bernie helped put together. I care more about specific policies than cult of personality. I refuse to vote for the huge tax cuts for the rich, national police stop and frisk, laws banning people of a certain religion, exiting out of our current environmental agreements such as the Paris (because apparently climate change is a "hoax"), ignoring and stop funding clean energy efforts, making abortion criminal, abolishing the affordable health care act, rounding up millions of immigrants during the first days of his office, and wanting to wage a drone strike program which purposely targets the families of terrorists. Because those are EXACTLY all the things that Trump is running on and he has the support of all the nationalists, white supremacists, and antisemitic groups in this country. Hillary may not be likable, she may be part of the establishment but there is a difference between that and what this country will turn into if Trump is elected. The reality is YOU don't know what you're talking about because you're not seeing this shit here.

    1
  5429. pingpong wigwom It only has to do with the lies you've been told by the oligarchy (Through the think tanks and media outlets that they fund) and the fact that individual taxes have nothing to do with business taxes.
    1
  5430. pingpong wigwom First off you're wrong on the facts....  The US doesn't have the highest tax rate in the world, Japan and a few other countries do.  Secondly no business in america pays the actual rate.  The effective rate after deductions is far lower and some companies actually pay zero in taxes after deductions.  And actually corporate tax as percentage of all taxes is far lower than it was 50 years ago. Secondly you're wrong on the premise.  Who has suggested raising the corporate tax rate?  NO ONE....  Not me, not Bernie Sanders, Not ANYONE.  We're talking about individual taxes.  However someone has fooled you into conflating higher taxes on hedge-fund managers and bank CEOs to "corporate taxes" which have NOTHING to do with each other

  5431. pingpong wigwom Simple fact is that you don't know WTF you're talking about and you're clearly demonstrating that here. You're simply just regurgitating the bullshit you've been programmed with.  Too many people are just too lazy to do basic research and simply repeating the talking points that were handed to them by the media.  Just sad little puppets for the Oligarchy If you did you research you would know that everything depends on where taxes are applied and how money is spent.

  5441. Evolution1101 Again.... There is no injustice, there is no hypocrisy, this isn't a person everyone knows about. So why would TYT report on it? Again, there is no story in talking about some random dude getting arrested for a crime which happens every day. The fact that you think that reporting on it is somehow being "balanced" is frankly pathetic. Let's be honest, the only reason why it's a "story" for you is not what he did, it's not for the benefit of the girl involved, it's not for the safety of others, the only reason is some silly "guilt by association" to BLM.... Otherwise why else would you think this is a story? You seriously need to come to terms with your own bullshit. This isn't a CEO he was just an activist like hundreds of others. Uber doesn't have hundreds of CEOs. When people resort to name calling it only verifies how weak their arguments are.
    1
  5442. Evolution1101 Again, everything stems from your obsession with BLM and your desire to create some smear or "guilt by association" based on a crime that someone allegedly did which had nothing to to with BLM... That's why your arguments are nonsensical. Name any BLM story that TYT has done in the past 2 months...? I don't know of any, but somehow you're obsessing over some idea that BLM is in positive light therefore the entire organization must be smeared in some way based on an unrelated crime. You sound crazy..

  5447. Coincidence and correlation are not the same thing Ana.... You can guess why the results turned out the way they did, but you can't call it a "coincidence". As far as your "stigma" theory, it would stand to reason that if male bisexuality was on the same level as women then that "stigma" wouldn't exist in the first place... In my experience woman are FAR more likely to be bisexual and average looking women tend to pursue lesbian relationships. I have no idea why... I don't think it has anything to do with opportunity because those women have no problems finding a man if they really wanted one.

  5448. I'm a black man and even though I spent most of my childhood in the suburbs I remember being ridiculed for being black, older kids grabbing me by the collar and picking me up shaking me saying "I hate black people" when I was like 7 or 8. At that time I I also met a girl I liked who became my best friend only to lose her suddenly because her parents were bigots and didn't want her playing with or even talking to me anymore. I remember growing up in highschool and both of my closest friend's parents were basically half bigots. They were "okay" with black people but weren't thrilled that their children was hanging out with one. My best friend's mother was always antagonistic towards me and sometimes would even hang up the phone when I called. I met another girl I really liked, but her mother was bigoted and even called the police on me and my friends when we came by. I don't cry ever, but I remember breaking out into tears that night sitting in the police station explaining that we were just there to visit a friend. Spending years being suspected of being a thief every time you walk into a store wasn't really a big deal. The thing that hurt the most was how bigotry sabotaged my close friendships and relationships. Since then my best friend's mother has seen that I've been the most stable and financially secure friend that her son has ever had. So now she thinks I'm the greatest, but I can easily see how people can grow up hurt jaded and with PTSD from experiencing that at a young age. I've had many black friends who have turned out fine like me (arguably, since I still have issues with close relationships), but I've seen many end up broken and suspicious of everyone. It's especially bad in the workplace, black people have seen other's getting promoted, praised, and highlighted for doing less work. So they're always suspicious of racial bias and many times they don't try as hard because they think "what's the point?". It's kind of like the old experiment with the dogs that were get electrocuted over and over, eventually they just give up and except the pain.

  5449. Metabeard You seriously watched the video? They made it pretty clear that all they are doing is scraping publicly available information from the agencies website. Espionage involves stealing "secret" or "confidential" information not taking public information and storing it. It would be like calling Google "espionage" because they do the same thing with websites all over the world.

  5450. PHeMoX Not really... stop and frisk was proven to be unconstitutional, racist, and not that effective. He didn't have a response to that except for repeating over and over that it worked. The way he repeated "Law & Order" over and over was rather frightening.... I've never heard anything so Orwellian from a presidential candidate in all my life.

  5451. PHeMoX 9 out of 10 people stopped were innocent and the vast majority were black. If you think simply being black is a "good indicator" then you're part of the problem: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2016/live-updates/general-election/real-time-fact-checking-and-analysis-of-the-first-presidential-debate/fact-check-trump-on-crime-statistics-and-stop-and-frisk/
    1
  5452. PHeMoX 1. You're claiming that I'm denying something while quoting the comment where I'm clearly not denying it. And you call me a dumbass? 2. There is a difference between profiling based on behavior and evidence vs profiling based on race or religion. Bigotry isn't the same as profiling no matter how much you would like it to be. 3. FBI has black crime at 28%..... dumbass https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/tables/43tabledatadecoverviewpdf So what you "read" is bullshit. Never mind the studies which clearly show that blacks are more likely to get arrested and convicted for the same offense. Which also drives up these numbers. For example drug use among races is identical yet black people are anywhere from 2 to 4 times more likely to be arrested and convicted for s drug possession charges A person shouldn't be harassed by the police and arrested simply because they happen to be born black. Do you think that people spending their lives getting harassed, unfairly arrested, and convicted will be well adjusted in society or not? Or do yo just not care because it doesn't happen to you? 4. No I think things are unconstitutional when it's clearly unconstitutional. Unlawful Search & Seizure is right there in the 4th amendment. I'm sick and tired of people like you who go around justifying their racism. You think it's based on facts but it actually isn't. Then you wonder why people get pissed.
    1
  5453. PHeMoX 1. well you are in fact justifying racist policies regardless of who you sleep with. 2. Often Hispanics are lumped in with blacks as well. What you're point? There are white and black Hispanics. 3. No they're not "close enough" when you're trying to justify 8 to 10 times the stop and frist rate of whites. 2 times and 10 times are hugely different. You're more than welcome to post your numbers but I seriously doubt 40% more black people suddenly decided to commit crime in 3 years. 4. "That's not what happens. " That is PRECISELY what happens. Do you not get that? Obviously you don't because you've never experienced it... You've never been in a store and assumed that you're stealing something. You've never been out with your friends and the police assume that since you're the black one you need to be harassed more. You've never been pulled over for driving a nice car simply because you're suspected of stealing it because you're black. 5. "It's only unlawful when there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to search and detain someone." Again. that is PRECISELY what happened. Do you not realize that there are people who got stopped and searched several times a week just for entering and existing their own apartment building? Can you imagine living your life where every time you left your home or came back from the gym you had to prepare to get searched? Can you imagine how different your life would be if that was your reality? Can you imagine how much hatred you would have for the police in that situation? Especially when you were 8 times more likely to get stopped than your white friends?
    1
  5454. PHeMoX 1. The numbers & court rulings do support my position. However there aren't ANY that support yours. Simply "saying so" does not count as evidence. There are no stats which justify targeting blacks 8 to 10 times more than whites, period. 2. lol... You somehow think that black crime has changed dramatically in 3 years? You're embarrassing yourself now. Don't be absurd. Besides WTF are your numbers?.... This is classic cognitive dissonance and self justification. Somehow you expect your imaginary numbers that you've given ABSOLUTE NO REFERENCES FOR to outweigh my real numbers that can be sourced from the FBI. You seriously need to recognize how flawed and bias your thinking is. This is what pisses people off. Given all the evidence in the world you're still justifying racist ideas. You may not be racist, but without thinking you're blindly perpetuating racist policies. This is what people do all over the country especially white people who have NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS SHIT IN THEIR LIFE. You somehow think you are above it all because you have a couple black friends. But until you've experiences the bias, assumptions, and ridicule of being a minority you really have absolutely no fucking idea. You get to go through life thinking everything is fair, because it has been for you. That's called "white privilege"
    1
  5455. PHeMoX lol.. "For what it's worth, you refused to search for crime numbers of 2015. There's a difference." That pretty much sums up your mindset. I need to find your imaginary numbers... lol.. Sorry, I'm done playing with your racist mindset. If you're not willing to find facts to substantiate your claims, then you're not worth the trouble.
    1
  5456. PHeMoX Again, you haven't produced any numbers, just those that you "imagined". Just admit that you make shit up to fit your racist conclusions Because you're embarrassing yourself here.... Again, I actually provided numbers and the source which represent the latest numbers compiled by the FBI. Those numbers, at best, show double the rate. Not 10 times the rate.. Gee do you think that a population targeted 10 times as much could be arrested more often? Of course. Do you think if any population was searched for drugs 10 times as much would be found to be carrying drugs more often? Of course. However that doesn't mean anything to racists who want to prove that blacks are inferior and are somehow genetically disposed to committing more crime. Sorry but your ignorance has no place in modern society.

  5461. You're Fired ! Sorry, but your arguments and you perspective is completely bullshit. The concept of "small government" is completely subjective and isn't based on anything. You don't run a country based on how you order a fucking soda. You government a country based on which policies work and which ones don't. The fact that you don't think in those terms is frankly sad. The fact that you also don't know that the "freedom index" is made up unscientific bullshit is also sad.

  5462. You're Fired ! It's really sad hearing the people over and over brainwashed by the same bullshit. No I'm not a genius I just look for evidence to support my positions. I was a libertarian for a about a month. Ron Paul was the first politician I ever donated money to, but it didn't take long to realize that libertarianism is nothing more than a religion made up of ideologues, rich trying to stay rich, and the masses the rich fool with simplistic bullshit so that they will vote against their own interests. Do you know anything about Hong Kong? Do you realize that comparing Hong Kong to any other country is like comparing New York (Wall St) to another country because Hong Kong is mostly just a big financial district and port city just like NY. It got that way because of it's unique history and location. Same reason why New York makes a shit ton of money compared to the rest of the states in the US. There is nothing magic about and there's a big fucking difference between NY and Montana..... And please explain WHICH POLICIES should be implemented in the US instead of just regurgitating the term "Laissez faire" because that's what the pundits say over and over. Mindlessly supporting anything with a label without diving into the policy and substance of the matter and how it will impact people is just dumb. Please for the love of Christ THINK FOR YOURSELF and stop regurgitating this bullshit that you've been spoon-fed.
    1
  5463. You're Fired ! This is your train of thought, not mine.... I simply said that libertarianism, "austrian economics", "small government", are nothing but bullshit concepts. However if you want specifics I admire Iceland for prosecuting and jailing it's bankers which effected the economy with their shady practices, I admire Iceland, Norway, Germany, Denmark, etc. for their commitment to be on 100% renewable energy With some already close to meeting that goal. I admire all other democracies in the world except for ours for having a healthcare system that doesn't just work well if you're rich or leave families bankrupt. No..... I said comparing the economic policy of a country that's nothing more than a large financial district and trading port is as silly as comparing New York to the rest of the country. Not every state can be an international banking center, stock exchange, and trading port. So believing that it is some kind of model for the rest of the world is pretty nonsensical. Making money from the money, products, and labors that come in and out from other countries is not a model that every country can follow. A progressive tax code exists for a reason, every country in the world isn't somehow stupid. It is completely dumb to think that a flat tax is anything more than a tax hike on the poor and a tax cut on the rich. A sales tax hike is also a huge tax on the poor. Poor people spend most of their income buying products and services to survive. Rich people don't, they horde it or use it for gambling (speculation, etc.). Raising sales taxes is the surest way to make poor people poorer and kill businesses in poor communities. --"get rid of a lot of the regulations and rules that makes it harder for people to start businesses." Which regulations and rules exactly? A lot of people talk about regulations and don't know WTF they're talking about because they've never actually started a business. Are you talking about medical incenses? Food safety? Which regulations exactly are you willing to get rid of so that someone else can make a buck? Sigh... Social Security has kept millions of people out of poverty Genius,... It dropped the poverty rate among seniors from 35% to %10. Not only that but it allowed the middle class to flourish because people weren't having to spend all of their money just taking care of their aging parents. Furthermore it is not just for the elderly it's also for the disabled. Do you realize that geniuses like Stephan Hawking wouldn't even be around today if he weren't for safety nets? Like I said. All you know is "Waaaah!!! I don't want to be forced to pay for stuff!". Without having a single clue why these things are in place or how many lives they have saved and how this country (and many others) have benefited because of them. A child growing up poor, sick, and uneducated hurts society (violence, crime, lack of innovation & economy activity) whereas a child growing up fed, healthy, and educated is a benefit to society. You foolishly think that by "taking away stuff" or removing support mechanisms that you're somehow "teaching people a lesson" and that everyone will just magically straighten if you pretend that people are children who just needs tough love. In reality there is absolutely not a shred of evidence to support that.... Third world countries remain third world countries despite no regulations, low taxes, and no public infrastructure. You're not teaching anyone a lesson by letting millions die, or leaving millions in poverty, or leaving millions uneducated. You're only hurting yourself by making the country worse.

  5470. People don't realize and are ignorant to the fact that the word "thug" is commonly used more often whenever there are black people involved. It wasn't used too often with all the white anarchists destroying property during the occupy protests. However when it comes to a group of black people, or a kid buying skittles, or a football playing trash talking the word that immediately comes to mind is "thug". It's not that anyone condones that what these people are doing, but rather it's the fact that society has decided to create a new word for "I'm disappointed with a black guys actions". In that way it is no different than the N word...

I really hate it when people take an innocent gesture and turn it into their own personal crusade....

  5487. I find it odd that you can recognize that there are people who are attracted to and want to marry the same sex, and that's okay, yet you can't recognize that people can identify as a different gender....  Who you are attracted to and what gender you "feel like" are both emotional and psychological states.  How can one state be more or less valid than the other? Furthermore to say this wouldn't exist if there was just one gender is no different than saying heterosexuality wouldn't exist if we were all one gender. It's a moot point.  The fact is there are many children who are born with both sex organs. By your definition should they identify as male and female and be attracted to both?  Many times a doctor will take a child born with both sex organs and make them male or a female based on which organs seem more developed. Sometimes they grow up fine and other times they identify as a different gender.  The point is your biology is not as cut and dry as people think and changes on the outside don't always reflect how your brain develops. Are there people with psychological issues? Of course, which is why psychological evaluation periods are usually required for any kind of gender reassignment, but to automatically assume everyone who identifies themselves as a different gender is suffering from a psychological disorder is an attitude that hurts.
    1
  5488. Homemmtbrasa I didn't "shut down" any debate by any stretch....  I just questioned the logic and gave some basic biological facts as well as the fact that psychological evaluation is part of the process. However you didn't respond to any of that.  If you think any form of disagreement or challenge to an idea is "shutting down a debate", then you have some issues.  It suggests that your ideas are based more on emotion than logic. Having surgery to remove an extra finger or to fix a cleft lips isn't "normal", nor are hundreds of other surgical procedures.  However by making it a question of "normality" you've already decided to stigmatize thousands of people you don't even know.  Perhaps you're not realizing it, but that's what your language suggests. If you don't talk about whether someone is "normal" or "abnormal" for any other kind of surgery why do so in this case?
    1
  5489. Homemmtbrasa I disagree that the media portrays transgenderism as a lifestyle choice. No one would ever "choose" that as a lifestyle in this culture because of the enormous stigma it has with heterosexuals AND homosexuals.  No one would choose to be a pariah like that unless they had psychological problems or they truly were trapped in the wrong gender.

  5493. +Fashion Earrings Saying a book is responsible for violent actions is like saying a video game is responsible for violent actions. A book or a video game isn't going to make you hurt people whereas socio-economic conditions, environment, and mental health effect violence. Saying a book made them do it is just lazy thinking. People turn to religion when situations are dire and more extreme forms of religion when the situation is even more dire. Same with the KKK, the crusades, or the IRA. It's silly to see a book or a video game as a cause rather than just a symptom... Burning books or blaming people's religion isn't somehow going to magically make these problems go away and it's a really simplistic way of looking at things given the complexity of the history, politics, and socio-economics of the countries involved.

  5494. Fashion Earrings I fail to see the difference on whether a person chooses to commit violence or not.  Everything that I said has a basis in scientific research.  Your claims are based on nothing more than anecdotes and personal observations.  Calling me names doesn't change that fact

  5498. Sorry Megan, but some random blog slapping together a bunch of circumstantial evidence isn't going to change my mind on anything. When one parties severs are hacked and other is not during a primary there are only a few actors that can benefit from that sort of thing. You also pretend as if the email hacks were somehow the only thing that Russia was accused of during the election. You pretend as if Trump's campaign wasn't full of Russian operatives and foreign agents. Why are you fighting against an Investigation? Do you want to know the truth or don't you? A few random blogs is not an answer to anything.
    1
  5499. Those "ties" aren't anywhere close to the active ties that were in Trump's campaign who were actively advocating for pro Russian policies. Hillary Clinton isn't the president I'm not sure why you would think that I would give a shit about her or think that anything related to her or her old campaign manager is somehow relevant here. We aren't talking about giving a speech or shares in a damn company. The fact is the Kremlin wanted Trump in power over Clinton, they celebrated his victory, the people who benefited from those leaked emails were Trump (and by extension Russia), Russia also waged a propaganda war against Clinton and in favor of Trump, Russia Today is still waging a propaganda war in favor of Trump. This isn't "just speculation", these are facts. Russia wanted Trump in the white house PERIOD. The only question is whether Trump or his campaign colluded in some way. Since his campaign had TWO foreign agents working for Russia that changed the RNC platform to be more favorable towards Russia, a lot of Trump's businesses depended on money coming in from Russian oligarchs , one of his servers was constantly being pinged from a Russian bank that is run by the Kremlin, etc.. THERE ARE FUCKING QUESTIONS! Why don't you get that? I'm simply amazed that you people think that none of this should be investigated. Why? What fucking reason do you have for this not to be investigated? Because Bill Clinton gave a speech in Moscow once? Seriously?
    1
  5500. Megan, if there was concrete evidence his campaign would be in jail by, but THAT'S WHAT INVESTIGATIONS ARE FOR. Holy shit, why don't you guys understand that? Is your idea that we should read some opinions that someone posted in a blog and decide who we should jail based on that? No one can argue that there isn't enough circumstantial evidence to warrant an investigation. No Megan, the bank simply saying "that there must of been a hack" is not somehow proof that it was a hoax. That's just you excepting every opinion that supports your assertion as fact. (ie cognitive dissonance/justification). I really don't get why you people are so damn afraid of an investigation when it's the entire country that's at stake. We can investigation Benghazi 9 times and turn up NOTHING, we can investigate a less than secure email server and pretend that someone should be jailed over it. Yet when it comes to the corruption and influences on the most powerful man in the world, when the health and well being of our people are at stake, somehow we can't do a single investigation? Seriously WTF is wrong with you people?
    1
  5501. Rick, if you think ignoring the volumes of evidence related to Trump's ties to Russia and ignoring the fact that two of his campaign staff were working as active foreign agents to Russia & Turkey during the campaign is somehow a good thing simply because Clinton's campaign brought it up, then I'm sorry you're an idiot.
    1
  5502. Megan, I'll also repeat myself... Russian Hacking WAS NEVER the only evidence here. You pretend as if an investigation requires there to be irrefutable proof of a crime. if someone was murdered and you have people who benefited from that murder and also had means and motive, would you simply tell the police to ignore those people to not investigate them at all? Would you just pretend the person murdered themselves? Yeah I want the FBI to investigate EVERYTHING, I want Trump to release his tax returns too so we can see exactly who his financial obligations are to. Secondly you and others are creating a complete "false choice". The fact that Trump or those in his administration/campaign may have colluded with Russia DOES NOT suddenly mean that war with Russia is a good idea, it also DOES NOT mean that Hillary Clinton was an awesome candidate. However those are the narratives that you guys are pushing. We don't like war or Hilary Clinton so let's just stick our heads the sand and pretty much ignore any evidence, ties, and and any investigation into Russia. Let's just pretend that interfering with elections is something that Russia would never do, because we want to be completely gullible when it comes to this one issue so that we can support our narratives. Look, we can talk about casualties all day. You know for a fact that Trump has already killed his fair share of civilians and workers in Syria. Including killing an 8 year old girl and 30 other civilians on a mission that Obama previously denied. However Trump is basically allowing the Pentagon to do whatever it wants. He is increasing pentagons budget dramatically. He's expanded the drone program and is allowing for more civilian casualties. They even just approved the largest weapons deal we ever made to Saudi Arabia including the use of weapons that were banned under previous administrations. In case you didn't know Saudi Arabia is responsible for spreading the extremist form of Islam that created Al Qaeda. Trump FOOLED YOU into making you think that he's against war and violence. He's not. He's bombed Syria many times already (not ISIS, the Syrian government) and while you've been focused on Russia we've been heading towards war with North Korea. The only reason why you think the war machine has stopped with Trump is because you simply stopped paying attention to it after he was elected.
    1
  5503. I'm not sure why you would think that pence is worse seeing as Trump wants to increase our nuclear weapons, increase spending to the pentagon (regardless of "russia"), increase the drone program, target more civilians, wishes that we could just take resources in the middle east and permanently occupy, and currently he's allowing the generals to do whatever they want to. BTW Trump is bombing MORE than we did under Obama. So what exactly would Pence do that Trump already isn't? You pretend as if conflict with Russia is the only thing feeding our military when it really hasn't been for a long time. Yes, the US has interfered with elections and Russia has also had a long history of interfering with elections all over the world, including coups, so pretending as if they somehow didn't in this case is just naive.
    1
  5504. Trump also called for "safe zones" in Syria which is effectively the same thing. You cannot enforce any kind of protected zone in the middle of a war without the military, period. As far as overthrowing Assad, some of Trump's surrogates have said that needs to happen, others have not. Trump himself has been on every side of the issue when it came to overthrowing Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein. So I don't see how you can trust what he wants to do one way or another. Like I said military spending and bombings have increased under Trump and he has bombed the Syrian government at least twice already. --"And when you say you want an investigation into Trump/Russia "collusion, what does that even mean?" If you don't know what that means then you really haven't been paying attention. No it doesn't mean that the Trump campaign somehow said "hack them for me". It means that they made a deal to guarantee certain policies favorable to Russia in exchange for a financial deal or relief of debt that he owes. Russia We already know that the Trump campaign changed the GOP platform to include policies more favorable towards Russia and lifting the sanctions for absolutely no reason. It wasn't anything that anyone was running on. So it came out of the blue. We also know that Trump appointed the CEO of Exxon mobile out of nowhere as secretary of state, a guy with absolutely no experience with that job, However he just so happen to run the same company who is advocating for those sanctions to be lifted which would be a 500 billion dollar boon to Russia. Of course Trump didn't lift those sanctions yet, however that was after the Russia allegations were flooding the media. However it was clear what the intentions were by changing the GOP platform and appointing someone like Rex Tllerson. We also know that his previous campaign manager was actively getting millions from Russia and then we learn that Russian officials bragged that they could use Micheal Flynn to influence Trump. Meanwhile we have Trump is obstructing justice telling Comey not to investigate Flynn even after he had already fired Flynn, why? Then later Trump fires Comey for investigating him. Now I don't know how far it goes or even if Trump is actually involved (perhaps he was just being used) but I damn sure want to find out, don't you? Keep i mind that this wouldn't be the first time a Republican president colluded with our adversaries during a campaign, both Nixon and Reagan did this. Nixon with the Viet Cong and Reagan with Iran.

  5505. Like I said months ago.... The main reason why Trump is going to lose is because he doesn't know WTF he's doing, he never has.

  5506. In other words: "I'd rather blame brown Muslims, because it's much better to hate them than to actually address real problems in the world".

  5507. I used to think there was a greater than 50% chance that Trump could win, but now I don't. If Trump had a smart campaign he could win easily, but he doesn't. Hilary is a horrible politician, but her campaign and her establishment ties are a well oiled machine compared to Trumps train wreck. All she needs to to is sit back and let Trump destroy himself, because he will.

  5508. I'm with Cenk... I think it is somewhat elitist to immediately assume that any additional people all fall into the category of "uneducated and uninformed". Ana, some people are unmotivated to show up at the polls for a variety of reasons.... Not simply the caricature that you're making them out to be. Do you think everyone who shows up to the polls currently are actually informed?
    1
  5509. That's what happens when you spend decades gerrymandering and winning elections over and over by appealing to the lowest emotions. You end up with a candidate who can easily win a primary but is also hated by most of the country.

  5510. Okay guys the idea that you cannot give consent while drunk is bullshit. Sure if the person is UNCONSCIOUS you shouldn't rape someone's lifeless body, but that's not what she said AT ALL. I had a friend who basically jumped me while she was drunk, took off her clothes etc. no single guy who is super attracted to a girl is going to say no to that. The next day she had no memory of it at all which freaked me out so I brought up what happened to make sure we were "cool" and we were "cool", but the idea that someone could go to jail over that is kind of bullshit. Guys shouldn't make girls have sex when they don't want to, period. At the same time it's not the responsibility of the guy to be the girl's father and arbiter of her morals and inhibitions when she's drunk. If you're going to get really fucked up you need to be responsible about it.
    1
  5511. The whole point of central banks is to stabilize currency. You don't want to be constantly watching a market ticker to understand the value of your labor, goods, etc. day to day. The idea that an unstable currency is somehow better than a stable one just because its not controlled by "the man" is pretty absurd. If you want to invest or gamble your money then you have millions of ways to do so today. Bitcoin is nothing more than yet another means of gambling and a currency to make illegal transactions.

  5512. If you create a system that values money, profit, and growth above anything else then what do you expect?  We don't have a system that rewards patriotism, sustainable, or prosperity, otherwise we would likely have very different outcomes. This will continue until people realize that the game we created to manage our resources is not more important than our health and sanity.

  5513. Racists are idiots everywhere... Yeah pretty soon all women in the UK are going to have to start wearing burqas soon because that's exactly how it works... Fucking morons...

  5523. Its very difficult to come up with the right regulations, but it is idiotic to have no regulations. The fact is regulations save thousands of lives each year.  Cherry picking one (that was never related to the reasons behind the spill) as an argument against regulations is the very definition of the phrase: "throwing the baby out with the bathwater"

  5526. You know what else is dangerous to do while seizing Ana/Cenk? DRIVING.... Geez having a seizer while driving down the freeway could easily kill you and many others. Don't make up silly excuses to justify your obvious fear of doing something out of the ordinary. The amount of people who die doing a tandem jump or going through a course is practically zero. Compare that to the amount of people who die driving down the same highways you take the work each day. No, we don't skydive because it's "scary", we skydive because it's the closest you'll ever get to experiencing what it's like to fly and dive like a bird.

  5531. bigballer --"Do nazis have the right to be nazis then?" So are you saying that she is personally responsible for the genocide of Jews? Or are you saying that Germans today should be blamed for the Holocaust?  Sorry, but your statements are completely irrational.  For example: --""Mindlessly lumped together" where are you coming up with this? No one is saying they are directly responsible for the crimes of other muslims" Really? Then you go on to say: --" but there is a very clear link when they both follow the exact same ideology." Well then YOU ARE mindlessly lumping her with criminals and holding her responsible for their crimes when she has absolutely NOTHING to do with them. Guess what Genius? The Bible ALSO has many verses commanding people to kill others and even condones rape and slavery.  LOOK IT UP..... Your comments are just as idiotic as blaming every US citizen for drone strikes on children... The fact that I'm a US citizen doesn't mean that I agree with everything the american government does.  It does not mean that I agree with everything that every other US citizen does.  However an idiotic terrorist may think that it's okay to bomb any US citizen because of what our government does.  It's the exact same idiotic mindset that you have... The fact that she's Muslim does not somehow mean that she agrees with EVERY interpretation of the Quran.  Nor is it right to call her names or commit hate crimes against her just because of what some other Muslims have done. DAMMIT Just get your fucking head out of your ass already and stop stereotyping and demonizing every person you come across.
    1
  5532. bigballer  Your comments pretty much boils down to: "If they follow the same religion as criminals then they are responsible" Yet somehow this doesn't apply to people in the same country, race, etc.  Apparently it doesn't apply to christians or buddhists either. Your mindset is nothing more than selective bigotry and based in ignorance and watching too much propaganda and pundits on TV. Sorry but every Muslim you see is not somehow the representative of the entire religion or the BILLIONS of people who call themselves a Muslim.  Just like every US citizen doesn't somehow have the authority to magically stop a drone strike that hits children in the middle-east.  Just like every christian you see doesn't somehow have the authority to snap their fingers and stop all catholic priests from molesting children. The fact that you don't understand something so basic is ASTOUNDING.....   I'm literally amazed by your ignorance. Do you actually think before judging people or do you just constantly look for ways to lump anyone you see into a category?  I'm guessing you probably have racists in your family as well, as it's the same mentality.

  5536. This is just the church's way of jumping on the Pokemon bandwagon. If pastors didn't peddle in fear they wouldn't have a job and no one would listen to them. So in order to market themselves they have to come up with creative ways to tell you to be afraid of any latest trend and how Satan will get you because of it.

  5537. I don't see how the "money and gold" comment is relevant to his bigotry. Clearly this guy was nothing more than a common thief/mugger who was using bigotry as an excuse to steal. Lots of people have gold in the form of jewelry so I don't think asking for gold had anything to do with her ethnicity.

  5538. trexx32 Using made up words like "debt slaves" only enforces your bullshit .   Again there is REAL slavery in the world were people are actually bought and sold as property.  Using your Visa to buy an Xbox One is not slavery.  It is nothing more than people whining from the comfort of their privileged lives using words they have little understanding of simply because they have never witness REAL suffering in this world. YES there are problems in this system of government and with capitalism but to conflate that with the very real suffering that millions are going through to this very day is completely asinine....
    1
  5539. spriinkles1000 Sorry, but I don't give a shit whether the comment  comes from a "liberal" or a "libertarian".   An asinine comment is an asinine comment no matter who it comes from....   Do I agree with a debt based economy? No...   But that doesn't mean I would be silly enough to equate slavery (which is still going on to this day) to a non optimal economic system.    Also for the record there is a difference between poverty, economic disparity and being in debt.   Even rich people very often have debt up to their eyeballs.  That IS NOT the same experience as a 12 year old girl being sold to an old guy to pleasure him sexually.
    1
  5540. trexx32 I'm pretty sure the girls kidnapped by Ariel Castro and held in a basement against their will and raped for 10 years would also disagree with your definition of real suffering. Again, are their problems with the economic system? Yes.  Is it the same as being bought and sold as property?  No.The reason you don't get that is because you're coming from a perspective of privilege. There isn't a slave on the planet that wouldn't trade what they are going through right now for your definition of "suffering" in a heartbeat.
    1
  5541. trexx32 "kidnapping, torture, and rape WTF are you talking about? Now you are just trolling. Suffering is completely different from slavery" WOW...  Do you even know what you're arguing anymore?  Do you not understand that those girls were slaves to Castro?  Do you not understand that millions of people sold as slaves TODAY are going through the same thing?  Do you not understand the definition of slavery or are you just so blinded by your own nonsense hyperbole?

How come you're not covering all the deaths that doctors cause by accidents and misdiagnosis? Look, I'm not saying that people shouldn't take their kids to the doctor, but with the for profit health industry and the influence that big pharma has in our government and in our doctor's offices, there are valid reasons for people to be apprehensive to the health industry..

His jaws would clamp down and there would be lots of blood. I highly doubt a cat would be able to deter an actual attacking pitbull.

  5550. The constitution doesn't distinguish between citizens and non-citizens when it comes to "due process".

"You told us during the booking process that you wanted a place where your club could enjoy each other's company. Somehow that vital information never made it to the appropriate channels and we failed to seat your group where you could enjoy yourself properly and alert our train's staff that they should expect a particularly vibrant group." It doesn't matter if it's a restaurant or a train restaurant.  If you're booking a large party it's going to be noisier than normal.

  5553. Sorry Cenk, but you are completely wrong on this.   Gore didn't win the popular vote on his own.  He was basically running as Bill Clinton's third term and running against the son of a guy Bill Clinton already beat...  Gore was stiff and lifeless during the debates and had absolutely no charisma and no firm ideas, no passion.  He was basically just running on the coattails of Clinton. This is the reason why Bush was able to win in the end.  Gore didn't really get his progressive chops until AFTER he lost election...   If Gore ran today he would lose, he would be just as weak sauce as Hillary.

It's demoralizing, but what else do you expect him to do?

  5559. The government has dick to do with your medical bills. Talk to the insurance industry who has been raising rates exponentially since the 70s. Meanwhile we're working towards actual solutions like Single Payer which has proven to work in the rest of the industrialized world. Try actual solutions, instead of randomly cutting jobs that you don't know shit about just because your medical bills are high.

  5560. AZZ TEK Again: 1. You have no idea what these jobs are or what they cost. 2. Medicare is not going bankrupt: http://www.cbpp.org/research/health/medicare-is-not-bankrupt Medicare is in fact it's one of the most successful programs this country has ever created. Along with social security it reduced poverty amongst seniors by like 70%. 3. Government regulations have nothing to do with the costs of health insurance: https://www.zanebenefits.com/blog/8-reasons-health-insurance-costs-continue-to-rise You're projecting your problems onto a fiction someone created for you. Please educate yourself on the real issues. Democracy doesn't work when the electorate is ignorant.
    1
  5561. AZZ TEK So can you name any successful country in the world that doesn't have a strong central government? Because those that don't we call "third world countries". Please stop with these ridiculous generalizations.
    1
  5562. AZZ TEK Did you not read your own comment? Your exact words were: "A strong central government is not only oppressive, creativity killing, and runs contrary to freedom, but is is always doomed to failure and bankruptcy (just look at europe)." YOU were the one who brought up a "strong central government". You're so brainwashed with some dumb simplistic ideology that you don't even realize your own double-speak.... Effective government has nothing to do with "size" it has to with specific policies and outcomes that can be verified with data. And if you're not thinking in that way then you're just part of the easily manipulated masses.
    1
  5563. AZZ TEK Again: "Effective government has nothing to do with "size" it has to with specific policies and outcomes that can be verified with data." "too big" is meaningless drivel based on nonsense ideology. Point to specific policies and specific outcomes. Countries all over the world have Single payer systems and pay far less (half as much) than we do for healthcare and have better healthcare outcomes. The fact that federal employees have a salary has dick to do with your medical bills.... If you have no idea how to identify the problem then you'll have no idea how to solve it. You have been subjected to years of "the gubberment is the problem" and it is propaganda that has done nothing exept made rich people richer and screwed people like you... We should have joined the rest of the industrialized world and went to Single Payer decades ago. The rest of the world is not somehow dumb. However if you're going to go around thinking that if you cut the department of energy that it's going to somehow make your bills cheaper, then you're perpetuating idiocy.

  5564. AZZ TEK In other words you're deciding to stick your head in the sand and ignore basic facts.
    1
  5565. AZZ TEK If it will help bring focus back on the information rather than how it is conveyed then I will change my tone. Normally I'm not that way, however I have found that sometimes it is easier to communicate when you match a person's aggression/tone with even more aggression. This especially true with the many trolls on the internet that comment on videos just to be antagonistic. I apologize if I took it too far.
    1
  5566. AZZ TEK That is where I would have to disagree... There is always a singular truth whether we know it or not. The surest means that we have for moving closer to that truth is through science and the scientific method. We could easily apply the scientific method to governance and policy, but we simply choose not to. Politics is nothing more than persuasion and control. In most cases it is the very opposite of truth. If we really want a society based on happiness, health, and well being then we will never get there through guesswork, ideology, or tribalism. We will only get there through studies, data, statistical analysis, etc. This is the one common narrative that we should all embrace otherwise it will be our end. We can no longer afford otherwise.

  5567. I'll make a deal with you Thom.... I'll stop using my computer and smartphone for a week if you can stop using ALL technology for a 24 hours. Which means no clothes, shoes, house, car, chairs. This also eliminates any food or beverages made from technology. Good luck finding clean water... The truth is humans are addicted to technology because technology has always been part of the human condition. Each generation just likes picking on the newer technology.

  5568. I would like a referendum on this issue.  I would also like to see Bernie Sanders as president.  I think by electing Bernie we can do both...   The problem with Lessig is the election circus he would inevitably cause:  "If you're not going to be president, who's going to run the executive office?"  "What happens if there is a crises while you're spending months reforming campaign finance laws?"" "Who's the vice President you're going to leave us with for 4 years? Are we electing him/her or are we electing you?" "What exact legislation are you proposing? " "What if it takes a long time to pass? Are you going to shut down the government until we do what you say?" Having a single issue doesn't make you less vulnerable to attack it makes you more vulnerable....  It means that all of your eggs are in one basket   This is no different than electing an libertarian ideology.  If Cenk doesn't think that the GOP couldn't easily tear down his candidacy then he's completely mistaken.   All they would have to do is label him a "one trick pony" and he's done....  Bernie Sanders has been fighting against money in politics for years and he has the experience and knowledge to know what needs to be done to fix it.  The difference is that when the debates come and HE WILL ALSO know what he's talking about when it comes to other issues.

Advocates for doing worse torture than the Bush administration "Even if it doesn't work". 2. is thinking about using nukes in the middle-east 3. Says that we have to specifically target civilians and families in our drone strikes. 4. Threatens to throw journalists and politicians in jail when he's elected. 5. Wants to change libel laws so that Journalists can be sued or jailed for writing unflattering things. 6. Has a tax plan that is such a huge give away to the rich that even Reagan is turning in his grave. 7. Wants nationwide stop and frisk, even though it was deemed completely unconstitutional. 8. Wants to ban people based on their religion. 9. Wants to start to go door to door rounding up millions of suspected illegal immigrants. 10. Has had a campaign manager who used to do propaganda for the Kremlin and even though he was fired Trump was caught just as recently as a week ago repeating propaganda that was proven to be false and came directly from Russia and nowhere else. Is somehow better than Hillary.... The irrational Hillary hatred is unreal these days.

  5572. Johnny So far you're not mentioning actual policies, only baseless accusations. Most of which have been long since proven false. Which means you're inclined to believe a lot of unsubstantiated propaganda. I could easily create very long list of the countless crimes of Trump with fraud, dealings with the mob, etc. Unlike your list it will be actually verifiable and true. However I am more concerned about a persons policies and if you think bringing back torture, purposely wiping out out families. contemplating nukes, instituting a nationwide stop & frisk, and other authoritarian policies he has mentioned is okay. Then I have serious concerned over your mental health.

Cloudhopper4 Let me put it this way.  In 2008 Obama got more Wall St donations than any president in history, yet no one largely cared.  Whereas in this election Clinton had to defend herself in every single debate as to whether she was corrupt or not.  It's also created a huge vulnerability that Trump could conceivably beat her on.    Not only that, the fact that for the first time in 35 years a primary is going all the way to the convention and that she hasn't wrapped up this primary way before NY has also hurt her.  She doesn't have nearly the support she would have normally had going into the general election and that will hurt her. Just because she's still winning doesn't mean she's not hurt by all this.

  5579. FilipinoKaliFan I agree with pretty much everything you said.  I'd say that the country is center left, but the mainstream media is center right and have created a lot of programmed robots out there through their constant propaganda.  This guy I know who is a typical right winger, hates Obamacare and "socialism".  Yet is broke most of the time.  His girlfriend is a complete progressive who signed up for Obamacare and is huge Sanders supporter (and yes I'd love to date her).  However he's been totally against Obamacare and refused to sign up for it even though he would get lots of subsidies. Then a couple weeks ago he  had a bad accident that's going to cost him almost 2 years worth of his salary to pay for....  But he hates socialism and higher taxes on the rich because "what if he won the lottery one day or gets that big inheritance from a relative?"  Meanwhile he's going to be broke and in debt for years because of hospital bills...

  5583. LOL... Trump flip flopping is only going to make him lose his existing supporters not gain new ones. It's way too late for Trump to come across as "reasonable"

  5584. Anytime Obama has gotten personally involved with an issue (Trayvon Martin, Muslim discrimination, the "beer summit", etc.) the GOP used it as a talking point against him. Pretending as if he alone (or any president) can snap his fingers and fix everything is kind of naive. It's almost as stupid as the GOP thinking that Obama saying "Islamic Extremism" will magically fix the middle-east.
    1
  5585. Please don't fall for the simplistic shitty arguments that spew from Republicans... As with EVERYTHING the argument is much more nuanced than "If we make people feel like shit they will magically lift themselves up with their bootstraps"

  5586. I don't know.... I would be really surprised if she really didn't let people know their was pot in those brownies. She was trying to raise money not play a joke on people. My guess is that if it were legal she would have a sign right there that said "pot brownies", however in an effort to keep it on the "down low" she just assumed certain people knew through word of mouth.

  5587. For all those who think this isn't the same as Islamic terrorism. If you think one or more of these Christian extremist groups could not take over a large population if the US or other western countries experienced decades of war and poverty instead of decades of wealth, stable governments, and prosperity then you're kidding yourself...
    1
  5588. No, I think you would have to be pretty brain dead to think that Hillary is as bad as Trump. Being influenced by Wall Street is one thing. However fascism, promoting racism, escalating torture, and toying with the idea of using nukes, saying that we should target families of suspected terrorists, toying with the idea of bankrupting the country, saying that we should change the libel laws so that politicians can go after reporters, and generally having absolutely no idea what a president does and how to run a country is a whole other level. If you think that Hillary is the same as that then you've been brainwashed by a lot of propaganda during the primary.
    1
  5589. TheQualityrkc First off you have absolutely no evidence that she would "support foreign interest over ours". Secondly Trump has already suggested favorable policies towards Russia, invited them to hack us, and it's been revealed that he has many ties to Russia and owes a ton of money to them.
    1
  5590. TheQualityrkc You do realize that the main reason for an "Ally" is to prevent attacks by saying if you attack our ally we will attack you right? That's kind of the whole reason for NATO in case you didn't realize it.... All I'm saying is that there were many politicians who wanted war or military intervention over a nuclear deal. You do know we could have gone to war with Iran a long time ago right? A lot of people in the US and Israel wanted that and at the time the nuclear deal prevented that. Not saying that the US relationship with Israel isn't a toxic one. Obviously our favoritism of a racist government based on a religion has caused a lot of problems. However understand that not everyone in Israel agrees with all the right wing stances of their government. Just like not everyone agrees with our government here. So it is very myopic to say that just because some Israeli politicians were in favor of something that it automatically makes it a bad thing. When you imply things like that you sound no different than ISIS leaders who think everyone in the west is culpable for everything that has happened in the middle-east.
    1
  5591. TheQualityrkc I suggest you google "How close is war with Iran" and see the many articles written in 2015, especially before the nuclear deal talking about a US or Israel war with Iran. Not mention many afterwards talking about how the nuclear deal greatly lessened that possibility. -"The nuclear deal did not avoid war it made it an eventuality. It will be used as a pretext in years to come when false claims are made that Iran has violated the agreement." Sorry, but this is complete nonsense and conspiratorial. You might as well claim that every treaty and every deal between countries is a pretext for war. Using that irrational line of reasoning than any agreement to prevent conflict with Iran is creating a conflict with Iran. -"I never implied that." Yes you did: -"The Iran nuclear deal will eventually be used as a reason to go to war with Iran which is why Israeli politicians worked so hard for it." That is a direct implication that all Israeli politicians want war and suggests a nonsense conspiracy that they are using the nuclear deal to get that war. Which is especially absurd when you look at the polls at the time and see that most Israelis were against the deal because of all the propaganda that they were getting from Netenyahu.

  5592. Why? because he's being covered by the media far more than Hillary.

  5599. The bigger story here is the military angle with both Dallas and in Baton Rouge. One of the side effects of perpetual war is that you're going to have a lot of veterans coming back to the US who are familiar with guns, explosives, death, etc. Some of them might come back damaged and find refuge in a cause or crusade that can lead to them snapping and killing lots of people.
    1
  5600. Yeah because a radical surfer or skater is one who does cool tricks and also kills people right?. The fact is the word "radical" has been associated to people like MLK and Ghandi. It's only had a negative connotation recently because of it's use with Islam.
    1
  5601. After I watched her speech it's obvious that Hillary's sweet spot is "getting angry", her voice is MUCH better while speeaking when she's on the attack. Trying to be flowery like Obama is not going to work it just ends up sounding fake. Getting angry and attacking Trump and the GOP will work. It will also rally a lot more males to her side. She just needs to embrace the dark side and her journey will be complete.
    1
  5602. It's not like they're sitting around thinking "Now who is the best possible person to run?". A lot of it is not based on being rational but rather just favoritism because you know the person. A lot of people voted for her simply because of name recognition.

  5609. You know what most men had a few hundred years ago before shaving became commonplace?  BEARDS...   Also ENOUGH with the germaphobia already.  It's just as annoying as the "low fat" craze that has also been thoroughly debunked.  Bacteria is part of human existence.  We have bacteria all over us, and most of the cells in our body are bacteria.  So let me get this straight.... You're afraid of coming in contact with bacteria that may be on a beard THAT'S ALREADY FUCKING INSIDE YOU!   You know why this bacteria is on feces?  BECAUSE IT'S INSIDE YOU.  Jeez get over it already.

  5611. +Tom Secrest The difference is that torture is not constitutional. Most federal politicians and their subordinates swear an oath to uphold the constitution. Refusing to commit and act which violates the constitution and the international agreements that we've signed into would not be treason. Just like what Edward Snowden did wasn't treason when it shed a light on a larger unconstitutional crime. This is a balance that has been going on since the founding of this country, it's not just a recent thing.

  5614. This isn't a job posting, a restaurant, or a golf club. It's for a roommate.... When someone posts on a dating website SWF looking for SWM is that racist? Because it's not much different when looking for a roommate.
    1
  5615. Anthony Fradley Well sexual attraction is not much different than deciding who you are friends with. People who you live with, share meals with, share bathrooms with, share couches, living rooms, TVs, etc. is on a bigger level of intimacy than just going to a movie. Again, if you think someone being choosy about that is "racism" then you don't really know what racism is.
    1
  5616. ***** If some dude or chick had a posting on craigslist asking for a white roommate. Then yeah, I would have the exact same reaction, and guess what? THERE ARE such postings. I also have the same reaction if it was on a dating profile because I think it's stupid to limit yourself to certain races. As if there's no possible way to be attracted to someone just because of their race when in fact people of all races come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. However for some reason it's acceptable for dating but for choosing who you live with and are friends with it isn't? Seems like selective reasoning to me.... The thing you guys don't get is that there is a difference between a business denying service, denying a job, or denying a promotion to someone because of their race compared to a post asking for a roommate or a girlfriend. Now if everyone in a certain area said XYZ race can't live here then yeah you would have a problem because it would be systemic and at that point you're infringing on the freedoms of an entire group. That sort of thing used to happen regularly in white neighborhoods with redlining, etc. However if you're going around telling people who they should and shouldn't like, whether it's dating or friendships, then you're really just infringing on their ability to choose who people want to be with. And for the record, as a POC if I saw any kind of posting like that for people only looking for POC roommates then that would immediately turn me off.

  5617. FunWithTreason Apparently you don't realize that they are renting an apartment not renting out an apartment. People here don't seem to understand the difference between discriminating at a business vs discriminating in your personal relationships.
    1
  5618. FunWithTreason No, a roommate is not "subletting" there is no legal standing for a roommate relationship unless it's with the person who is renting out the property. That's like pretending that when your friends chip in for a rent a car for a road trip that it's a business relationship and that if you don't let total strangers join in on the trip as well then you should be sued. No you can't. However the company renting cars can be sued if they have a discriminatory policy.

  5619. PhedelCastro Again, a roommate isn't subletting. Pretending that it is just to make the argument that you want is disingenuous.

  5626. AtheistDaddy  It is a false dichotomy... Most of the differences are exacerbated by the media looking to get ratings over the "horse race" and politicians looking to demonize "the other" in order to get elected.  Within this machine is where you see a 3% difference in tax rates being described "socialism".   However on an individual basis and in polling you will not find "huge" differences and even with those perceived differences most who are presented with the facts they come to similar conclusions. There is also a big psychological component here where because people are forced to "pick a side" they are more than likely to reinforce and justify a set of positions because it becomes your identity....  You naturally want "your side" to win and the "other side" to lose. This is why political parties are the worse thing to happen to democracy and why the founders DID NOT intend for the government to be partisan (Federalist No 10).  The oligarchy uses this false dichotomy and two party system to manipulate elections in their favor.  Instead of focusing on issues we're focusing on "teams".
    1
  5627. AtheistDaddy Not saying all founders had a single vision, but keep in mind that Madison wasn't talking to himself he was continuing a discussion by Hamilton who brought up the destructive nature of factions.  Also the constitution has absolutely no provisions for "parties" because this is something they initially did not consider. Furthermore you make the mistake of thinking that all "republicans" or "conservatives" are of singular vision.   Many are in fact pro gay marriage.  The issue is largely cultural.   Opinions on gay marriage are changing just like they did with interracial marriage or women's suffrage.  Just because one party currently uses something as "wedge issue" to motivate the homophobes and evangelicals doesn't make everyone in that party homophobes.  It also doesn't mean people who call themselves "democrat" are completely LGBT friendly, because they are not.... Yes inequality is the biggest issue overall.  However as I said it is exacerbated by the manufactured conflict created by politicians and the media.... As inequality rises so has partisanship.  Why?  Instead of debating real ideas we end up debating which party "will win" (and spend billions doing so) while we all lose.  Keeping up this charade and fake debate only makes the problem worse.
    1
  5628. AtheistDaddy 1. Yes those who started political factions were "wrong".   Perhaps you could make the argument at a time when much of the population was illiterate and communication was through telegraph.  However today we live in the information age and political parties are merely marketing agencies for getting politicians elected.  They mainly serve to obscure ideas/facts behind political spin. 2. Again, it would be completely false to say that all republicans want to remove science from the classroom.  Just like it would be false to say all liberals want government to run everything.   When you start arguing with labels it dumbs down the conversation.  It is pointless to argue against a caricature. 3.  Your last statement is the most telling.... -"I may not agree with everything in the Democrat platform but it is much closer to my political leanings. This is the dichotomy." So by your own words you say that you don't completely agree with either "side". Isn't it then absurd to call that a "dichotomy"? Guess what?  Most people feel exactly the same way. They lean one direction or the other, most are not ideologues.  This is why there are more self identified "independents" every year.   We are all just people with a different set of experiences, given a different set of facts, and then told to "pick a side". The only reason why we think there is a dichotomy is because we are constantly told so by a media who makes money of the "fight" and by politicians looking to differentiate themselves against "the other side" in order to get elected. End political parties.  End the nonsense.  They serve nothing but themselves.
    1
  5629. AtheistDaddy 1.  Never claimed you said "all parties are the same" so I have no idea where you got that from or why you are supposedly repeating it...  Your claim was that a dichotomy exists.  However by saying that you (and most people) do not agree 100% with "either side" proves the point that this is indeed a "false dichotomy". 2.  My point is by "picking sides" in a political game based on a completely fabricated dichotomy we stop arguing ideas and facts. Instead we argue propaganda, marketing slogans, and caricatures of the "other side". This nonsense conflict creates opportunities for people to be easily manipulated by those with money and power.  It is textbook political manipulation. If you think of yourself as nothing more than a black or white chess piece you're not "winning" you're simply being manipulated by others playing a game....
    1
  5630. AtheistDaddy 1.  Wow, you didn't even read what I wrote.  Let me copy and paste: -Never claimed you said "all parties are the same" so I have no idea where you got that from or why you are supposedly repeating it...  2. I never said there weren't difference between the parties and "difference" does not mean "dichotomy"...  If a car lot has a red, green, and yellow car.  This is not a "dichotomy". Your original assertion was that a dichotomy  exists in defining oneself as "liberal" or "conservative" and I'm telling you that this is a false dichotomy.   People are far more complex and varied than this and by your own admission you agree and it is also shown in the growing number of self identified "independents" 3. My point is that the great majority of the fluff is spent on making caricatures of parties and "party branding" rather than debating real ideas.  The media also perpetuates this false dichotomy by staging these fake debates between a democrat and republican.  Then basically calling it even so they can be fair to  "both sides" rather than discussing the idea itself. Secondly psychologically we tend to agree with what ever group or party we identify with (cognitive dissonance/self justification).  Which is how so many "conservatives" or "republicans" decided that war in Iraq was a good thing when historically the party has been against war.  It is also how many people in the Nazi party agreed with the extremes that were going on .  Group mentality is a very dangerous thing.... Political parties today are useless organizations that do more harm to US democracy than good.  The only "dichotomy" that exists is in running for office because you  cannot be a politician in this country without aligning yourself to one of the cartels.  Neither one of these parties represent the American people yet we pretend they do.
    1
  5631. AtheistDaddy 1.  Being "the same" does not equal a "false dichotomy"....   A "false dichotomy" rejects the claim that there are only two opposing choices.  For example "sink or swim".  The idea that people are only identified as republican/democrat or liberal/conservative is a false dichotomy. 2.  Again, the problem here is that you are conflating "difference" with "dichotomy".  These things are not interchangeable...  I could change my example to be a motorcycle, truck, & sports car on a car lot and it's the same thing.  It represents "different" vehicles not a "dichotomy".
    1
  5632. AtheistDaddy Yes, agreed.   But sadly these differences are mostly "marketing" by parties in order to win elections by appealing to various demographics in very superficial ways. The Republicans go more and more right wing, or use fear mongering, or use religion in order to get those on the fringe who are likely to show up to vote.   Democrats go more and more centrists in order to seem reasonable. So parties today mostly represent the calculated marketing and spin necessary to get the most votes. Perhaps long ago parties formed around a set of ideas to promote interests that were in the public good (similar to the green party today), but now the two main parties are mostly just interested in keeping themselves in power.  Which is also why they are both controlled by money interests, because money above all else wins elections.

  5635. sandy ray Depends on your definition of life.  Is a single cell in your body or on your skin alive in your mind?  If so then yes.  However if it's the classic definition of life meaning that something can live and reproduce on it's own, then no.
    1
  5636. sandy ray If you were involved in an car  accident and you were effectively "brain dead" (no hope of recovering).  You have a heart beat, but you need various machines to to breath and keep your body functioning , would you call that life?  Because many families and individuals wouldn't and would request that they pull the plug.   No, I don't consider simply having a heart beat "life". Anymore than I would consider a cadavers leg twitching or a chicken's body running around after it's head's been cut off "life".  We can keep a heart tissue beating medically for years.  Is that heart "alive" simply because it's beating?  I think not. My definition of life is human consciousness.  If something has consciousness then we consider it a human life.  That person can have no arms or legs or be mentally challenged, but as long as there is consciousness we consider it life.   A developing fetus does not have a consciousness until very late in the pregnancy.  Until then it's just a potential for life, not life itself.  Whether or not a woman chooses to honor that potential is up to her or her and the father.  Whether state laws decides to honor that potential in criminal cases and create harsher punishments is up to the courts.   Personally if it were up to me I would have a harsher punishment and it would be much more than assault, but I probably wouldn't call it "murder" unless I had no other choice within the structure of the laws.

  5637. Cenk... you're wrong. Trump's campaign is a mess and it will be in free fall after the dnc. I'm no fan of Hillary, but her campaign is a well oiled machine compared to the mess that's in the GOP right now. Those optics will tell the average voter who's got their shit together and who doesn't. You're trying to apply what happened in the GOP primary with the general election. If hate, xenophobia, and anti-estabolishment were enough to win then McCain/Palin would have won, but they didn't.

  5638. +colonelvector This guy could be president. There's nothing more important that for US citizens to be educated on what their politicians are saying.

  5639. chauvinistic indian    It's clear that you don't know WTF you're talking about.    First off reciting the Koran was only asked of by one of the guests.  Secondly at least 6 of the people killed were Muslim.  Third the motivations behind the attack where likely to destabilize the peace agreements with the separatists in the North which were supposed to take place at that hotel The problem with this country are ignorant fucks who only know how to watch Fox News, call people "liberal", and care little about getting the actual facts of a situation.  Those kind of people are easily manipulated by fear and nonsense.
    1
  5640. chauvinistic indian Again, this happened with one guest.  Please look at the latest details on this story instead of just going with what you think happened.  Mali is a predominantly Muslim country with complex politics like any other country.  If you think that a bunch of Muslims decided to shoot up a hotel just because foreigners are there, then I'm sorry but you are seriously misinformed..... 
    1
  5641. chauvinistic indian 1. Most people staying at an expensive hotel in a poor country are going to be foreigners....  2. There were no other reports of them doing that with other guests so why would you assume that they did?   Making shit up doesn't help anybody.   Why are you making up a motive when the terrorist organizations claiming responsibility have already stated their goals and the people analyzing the situation have already explained what their motives likely were?

  5642. chauvinistic indian When your argument boils down to nothing but insults and meaningless labels then it becomes painfully obvious that your ideas come from years of brainwashing.  Not actual facts/truth.

  5643. chauvinistic indian Some snakes are poisonous, others are not. Some snakes are endangered and shouldn't be killed, others are not.  That's called nuance. Knowing when a snake should be killed and when it should be protected makes you a better person.
    1
  5644. chauvinistic indian Perhaps the best strategy is to leave snakes alone that are not bothering you?  Most snakes don't care about you and just want to live their lives in peace.  Yes you can tell...  Anyone knowledgeable of snakes knows the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes.   If you elect an idiot who doesn't know the difference he's going to go around killing all snakes who are just going to flee, become poisonous, and breed in other parts of the world.   Then everyone will wonder why we suddenly have a rat problem...

  5646. The difference between Nixon and Reagan vs Trump is that they were already seasoned politicians. Trump's campaign doesn't know WTF they are doing vs Hillary's campaign and her establishment ties are a well oiled machine. Bernie Sanders was probably the most clean candidate to run in history yet she was still able to dig up dirt on him. Trump with his history is child's play in comparison...
    1
  5647. Sorry Kyle but at this point you don't get to say Trump lies "just like Hillary Clinton".... The fact is even when Trump was a candidate he BROKE the internet and the political process with the amount of lies he told. Politifact, Factcheck, etc all had trouble keeping up with his lies. Then he continued to lie constantly as president. Sure Clinton flipped on TPP and was entirely dubious when it came to Wall Street, and her reasons for evolving on the issue of gay marriage were complete bullshit, but the difference is that WE KNEW she was lying. Why? because she SUCKS at lying... Whereas Trump actually enjoys lying, his natural state is to lie his ass off constantly, because he's a narcissist that doesn't have morals. All he cares about is praise and attention. It's even come out recently that according to Kushiner Trump made up his belief in birther-ism and his fake investigation into Obama just so he could get the racists and idiots in the republican party to like him. He's a piece of shit and we need to stop normalizing his psychotic behavior by comparing him to a normal politician.

  5652. No Kyle, honestly you are the classic example of the left destroying itself. No one has ever given a shit about the speeches that ex-presidents have made since leaving office. Did we care about all the money that Bush Sr or Bush Jr made on their fame after leaving office? No..... We also didn't care about Bill Clinton's speeches either, at least not until his wife was running for office. ALL the examples you gave were of politicians either currently in government or running for positions in government NOT ex presidents who usually never get involved in politics ever again. Trevor Noah was making a joke, not using Obama's blackness as a shield. You whip yourself into such a frenzy over anything Wall St that you can't fucking see straight. What exactly is the policy here? Obama isn't running to be president again so all you're doing is complaining about "optics" and nit picking. This is exactly why Trump won, you're sitting there nitpicking over a bullshit, "oh no! someone made money giving a speech!. Oh no! she didn't endorse Bernie when she should have" meanwhile you're ignoring actual policies and making it about people and their "purity".

  5653. But it was the conservative who was getting outraged... Why are you getting mad at an imaginary "liberal"?

  5654. I liked Wikileaks when they were exposing atrocities. However when a foreign national is purposely trying to manipulate elections of other countries by sitting on information and timing its release. I have huge problems with that.... Also a lot of the information is centering around just embarrassing people by pointing out the stupid shit they say in private. This is nowhere near to the level of doing a "double tap" in Afghanistan or exposing a national spying program, this is basically the equivalent of pointing a finger and saying "ha ha". Furthermore the fact that these leaks came from Russian officials is even more disturbing, everyone should find that disturbing. If you leak the private emails from any campaign or any individual I'm sure you'll find lots of damming statements, just imagine what the private emails from the Trump campaign or the RNC would look like? However if you hack and leak the emails from one side then clearly your goal is to manipulate an election. The fact that you and the media don't cover that angle is rather disturbing. Basically you're willing to gobble up an report any information that is leaked on Hillary because you hate her and you're looking for anything juicy. I get it, leaked private information is "sexy" and it gets you excited, but can we step back for a moment and instead of just acting like a dog chasing a squirrel can we think for a minute about why this information was leaked and for what purpose? Because it seems clear that someone is leading you and the rest of the media by the nose....
    1
  5655. McHitler You're so caught up in "knowing secrets" that you don't see that you're being manipulated... When that "transparency" targets a specific person or organization in order to manipulate an election then I have serious concerns with that, and so should you. If whomever was behind this were releasing things equally from all candidates and all political organizations then that would be one thing. However this is clearly targeted and this information was purposely held until October in order to have maximum impact on the election. Don't get so caught up with "knowing secrets" that you completely lose your perspective.
    1
  5656. McHitler The quotes were for highlighting a concept. Therese are for quoting you: "New information was released, and I'm reevaluating my stances based on that new information." Which means you're being manipulated. You weren't given that information for all candidates, just one. Hence manipulation. Do you think there isn't really crazy things being said in the Trump campaign? Or in the RNC? Of course there is. I'm sure there is crazy stuff being said in private within Gary Johnson's or Jill Stein's campaign as well. The fact that you don't realize getting one side of what is said in private isn't a form of manipulation is rather disturbing.... People are being led by the nose and not even realizing it.
    1
  5657. McHitler Stop deflecting. We aren't talking about a private server. We were talking about Wikileaks. Those two things are completely unrelated. I know you don't seriously believe that Trump or his campaign hasn't said despicable or questionable things in private, because that would make you an idiot. Of course they have. People say all sorts of things in private conversations and of course some of those things will be embarrassing.. Releasing the private discussions from one side and then waiting until October to release those private discussions is manipulating an election. You not realizing that there are people who did this because they have an agenda is quite disturbing. It means that you are quite gullible and easily manipulated. This is not just happening in the US btw, it has also happened in other countries.

  5658. McHitler The emails on the private server when she was Secretary of State were not the ones that were leaked by Wikileaks moron.... You're confusing issues.

  5659. OldRangeRat Are you basing that on any real numbers or just assuming it's true?  Exports as a % of GDP were pretty much the same after WWII at most they went up a half a percentage point.  A non factor....

  5660. Ummm... Shitty GMO, overly processed food, that is full of sugar, chemicals, hormones, etc? Told ya...
    1
  5661. John Smith The truth is we have no idea what the long term effects are of certain GMOs. Same with artificial sweeteners, trans fats, and a multitude of things we thought were benign but turned out not to be. 
    1
  5662. John Smith  Diversity and maintaining an healthy ecosystem is definitely an issue.  Also from my understanding GMOs could be anywhere from benign to drastic.  I don't see how anyone can make a blanket statement that there can never be a physiological concern over any type of genetic modification of any kind.   We barely have an understanding of how various compounds interact and react in our bodies. We don't necessarily have to die right away for an impact to be had.   I can almost guarantee that at some point there will be a physiological effect attributed to some kind of GMO in the future, and because we're eliminating diversity from from our food supply the impact will be widespread.
    1
  5663. John Smith That's sort of my point.  There is a reason why pure sugar, pure salt, and even pure water is bad for humans to consume.  And it took a long while for us to realize this.  So when you start adding and removing traits that have naturally occurred for thousands of years you don't know what the long term implications will be on the growth of that organism and how it effects the nutritional profile or the effects of it on other organisms consuming it.  We are just now starting to understand the symbiotic relationships between  plants (like corn) and other species of fungus and microbes in the soil.  Organisms that GMO corn completely kill off which changes forever how that corn used to develop. We have changed dramatically the food that we eat in this country.  An animal grown in a factory farm does not have the same nutritional profile as one grown on a pasture or in the wild. And it's the same for a lot of GMO foods that are built to produce insecticides or withstand weed killers.  Do you think there would be a long term difference in something like wheat or corn (which is used in MANY products) that produces far less magnesium, calcium, zinc, or iron than normal?   These things matter a lot more than we think they do and throwing off the balance in our bodies between vitamins, fungus, bacteria, & parasites is really no different than doing so in the environment. The more we think of plants and animals as simple machines that we can just replace parts without consequence instead of living things that are shaped by evolution then the worse off we will be.... If someone was in charge of "growing humans".  They probably wouldn't think of things like love, socialization, exercise and a hundred other things that are essential to health.

  5667. TYT... Your own description says TWICE that the police don't think it was anything sexual. So... why are you making it out to be in your video? Trying to take custody of a child indicates maternal feelings rather than romantic ones.

  5668. Jimmy... Lol... He's so right on. It's funny how it's not politically correct to spank your kids, yet it's fine that we emotional scar them with humiliation. BUT HEY, make sure to NOT touch their hair if they're a girl, because they are more "delicate" about their hair... Of course it's "okay" that girls spend time in the mirror taking care of their hair, etc., but if a boy does it he deserves to be punished and humiliated right? Wow. This is all quite hypocritical coming from so called "liberals".
    1
  5669. Since taxi drivers are killed at a much higher rate than police officers each year where is the spokesman for taxi drivers talking about how their lives matter? Maybe it's because taxi drivers don't feel the need to justify killing people for no good reason.

  5670. Artbug Well actually It could mean that.  If I call someone and say "Good morning, how are you?" I could very well continue that conversation by trying to convince them to switch phone plans.  It doesn't mean that I'm trying to get them to join a right wing militia.  The point is it's a common greeting in many parts of the world.  Thinking that it automatically has something to do with ISIS or terrorism is just ignorant.

  5671. Larry Larry Stories that you don't want to hear perhaps, but Vice has always been focused on culture. The shift towards Nationalism has been happening in the US and Europe and is shaping world politics today.. It is a story worth talking about.
    1
  5672. Larry Larry Maybe because those things that you believe aren't "facts" ... For example: 1. Simply going "Hillary?" doesn't really say anything.... 2. Tell me how much does illegal immigration cost our healthcare system? Especially since illegal immigrants pay more in taxes (payroll, sales tax, etc.) than they receive in benefits: http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/20/news/economy/immigration-myths/ 3. We can only go by the policies that Trump has proposed and so far every single one he has proposed are all xenophobic, racist, and downright dumb.... I would be more than glad to hear something otherwise. If you think that tough talk and empty rhetoric is a substitute for actual policy ideas then you need to reevaluate what you think is "electable" He has already sparked caused anger and hatred in people and leaders all around the world because of his rhetoric. Having someone like that as president would be a disaster.

  5673. gameisback07 How many shootings happen in golf clubs, ice cream shops, coffee shops, or video game conventions? Sorry, but it's a silly comparison. What big signs are you referring to? No one is saying that anecdotally you can't have a person defend themselves with a gun. Anecdotally you can also get home safe driving while drunk. It doesn't somehow mean that arming everyone or driving drunk is a good idea.
    1
  5674. gameisback07  There is already enough people killed at gun ranges and clubs due to accidents.  Again, those few anecdotes are not the norm....  There is a reason why we don't use anecdotal evidence in science.  We can also find people who shot or nearly shot the wrong people during a shooting.  As well as shot and killed intruders who were actually family members.   Rationalizing one specific scenario in your head doesn't change the overall trend in guns per capita and homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths by firearm. There is absolutely no science that suggest more people armed means a safer society.  There just isn't.  Pretending that there is just because it suites one particular narrative is only repeating myth and propaganda.

  5677. Yeah I'm going to need more information before feeling "outraged" about this.... TYT is making a lot of assumptions on what is meant by "coerced" here....  Did he use his power/authority to push or intimidate people into prostitution or was it just a matter of simply asking?  I think automatically making certain assumptions without facts to back it up is a bit hypocritical when you also believe that prostitution should be legalized.
    1
  5678. *****  It does matter how he did it, because TYT thinks that "illegal" activity should be legalized among consenting adults.  So the entire premise of this video is making a lot of assumptions about how he did this activity.   I require a little thing called "evidence" before just assuming what happened here.
    1
  5679. OriginalWarblade  If you're not going to actually read my comment, then don't respond to it.   Again, I didn't see or hear any evidence that there was actual "force" involved, only an assumption that there was..
    1
  5680. Just because you have a better title, doesn't mean you engaged in force, threats, or abuse of power.   Again, there is a thing called actual "evidence" and "innocent until proven guilty".     Your assumptions of what he must have done because of his title are based on nothing.
    1
  5681. *****  And you're just one of many on YouTube that feels the need to insult random strangers anonymously in order to feel good about themselves rather than offering any substantive thoughts or ideas.  A shame.
    1
  5682. ***** Perhaps because my original comment was only talking about the assumptions being made in the clip.  It's not my fault that you either did not follow or ignored the point and continued to simply repeat those same assumptions.
    1
  5683. Well of course the news lags behind history. Obviously they report the current sentiment in the country not YOUR sentiments. The reality is most people OPPOSED Chelsea Mannings clemency. However they did report the fact that she was held longer than any other whistle blower. So take your victory and be happy, expecting everyone to report your opinions is just asking too much.

  5684. Rustle Tree If I spent 13 years on it I'm sure I could, especially with the internet.  Except not many people have that kind of time to dedicate to one thing.  Although spending your life building a house that is no where near structurally sound enough to live in and even dying an early death from it doesn't seem that praiseworthy.

    1
  5688. W Meito Oh I'll mention it. Here's the deal. Just because Trump may have made a deal, doesn't mean he's somehow a loyal servant of Putin. I would not put it past Trump to make a deal with the Russians during the campaign and then renege on that deal during his presidency.... Ultimately Trump only cares about Trump and if he sees an opportunity to look good in front of the media or his followers he's going to take it. He has no problems screwing people over in business or in politics so why wouldn't he renege on that deal (with the Kremlin or Russian oligarchs) after he got what he wanted? Seriously why not? Is that really something that Trump would never do? HA! he would do it in a heartbeat. I also think it's entirely possible that Trump really didn't directly make a deal with the Russians and that he was simply being manipulated by people in his campaign like Paul Manafort his former campaign manager (who was basically a Russian agent) and Mike Flynn who were taking money from Russia. Trump doesn't care about details so he may have just been too stupid to know what was going on in his own campaign.

  5689. NeonRogue Sorry, but unless you're talking about the arguments in my actual comment then there's not much there I can really to respond to.
    1
  5690. Yes I am speculating, but my point is that there is plenty to speculate on which is why we need an investigation. Pretending that people shouldn't talk about it is just silly.
    1
  5691. You responded to my comment where I'm addressing Kyle's complaining about people talking about Russia. So there's the context for you. My point still is that it is something important that should be discussed, speculated, and most importantly investigated. Same goes for Trump's business deals and possible violation of the emoluments clause.
    1
  5692. Maybe jail should be more about rehabilitation than revenge? Prison should be for people who are a threat. Lets not pretend that molesting someone when they're drunk is the same as someone who abducts random women on the street and rapes them violently. There's rape and then there's rape. Also I don't know of anyone who would allow one of their "friends" who is majorly drunk to go off with a guy who was just hitting on them. That seems crazy to me...

  5694. Tipuloidea I never said that he shouldn't work or be hired anywhere, at the same time we are social creatures.... It doesn't matter how smart you are if you can't work with others or people can't work with you.
    1
  5695. Tipuloidea  I think it was clear that I was just referring to the racists commenters that show up to all of these videos and not every single comment in the video. This guy's accomplishments were in the past, the fact is you have no idea what he is capable of now.  Making an assumption that he is currently "brilliant" at his job based on a discovery he helped make over 60 years ago is absurd....  Furthermore he claims he is broke is because he was fired from the board of a company.  Sorry, but being a board member has very little to do with science and research. A lot of times people are hired as board members for little more than connections and good PR for the company. Having someone who helped discover DNA is good PR for a company.  Having a racist as a board member is bad PR.  Simple as that. Yes I would rather have a racists pilot flying my plane than Cenk who knows nothing about it.  However don't be naive in thinking that just because someone has a Nobel prize for something he helped discover over 60 years ago that somehow he is suddenly brilliant at everything for the rest of his life. The guy probably has less than a decade to live and is about to get a few million dollars for his Nobel prize.  He's going to be far better off than any of the people he may not have hired simply because they were black.

  5696. Tipuloidea He's 86 and was pretty much only taking board/director roles.. It's not like there aren't plenty of talented geneticists out there.

  5697. Tipuloidea You seem reasonable and I don't disagree with much of what you say.  I also don't agree with those calling for the NFL to fire or sanction those players for domestic abuse, etc..  I think that is something for local authorities to handle and shouldn't have anything to do with your job. However understand that the desire to project our values onto celebrities and leaders is part of human nature...  We don't care if Joe Smith working at the gas station made some racist statements once or punched a gay guy for no reason in college, but we scrutinize public figures because we want to see the best qualities of ourselves in them. So if this guy was just some lab grunt no one would give a shit about his personal views which is unfair to a degree, but at the same time celebrity comes with a lot of money and influence that you otherwise wouldn't have had.  This guy can get his ideas published based mainly on his name and notoriety vs. a lab grunt has to do extra work and do something truly ground breaking to get recognized or published at all.  Not to say that his ideas would be bad or the grunts ideas would be good, but this is the skewed world we live in because of our social (rather than logical) nature.
    1
  5698. Tipuloidea The confusion is probably due to the fact that I don't feel strongly either way on this particular case.  If he was a genius in his 20s and about to embark on a  promising career in research it would be one thing, but I'm not going to get choked up over a guy at the very end of his career fired from a cushy position on a corporate board for PR reasons. Especially when he's going to get a few million for his Nobel prize and he's still getting papers easily published because of his name and notoriety.

  5699. So I guess Native Americans have a right to my house as well? This is why basing a state on a religion or an ethnicity is a HORRIBLE and immoral idea  You would think that they would have learned that lesson from the holocaust...   They need to drop the "we have a righteous claim to this piece of dirt" attitude and just stop being dicks.

  5704. sausagemcbean  lol...  I sure hope you're being sarcastic.   Many economists commented on the housing bubble and predicted it would eventually collapse.  There is even clip of Bill Maher reading it from a newspaper back in 2005.   However Peter Schiff uses this to trick people into thinking he's some great financial oracle.   Never mind all the predictions he makes EVERY SINGLE YEAR that turn out to be completely wrong....   Which is why EuroPacific Capital has such a mediocre track record.  Yet he still cashes in on the one thing he got sort of right (even though he was completely off on the timing) and makes sure to brag about it every time he appears anywhere....   Funny how other economists who also saw the bubble don't feel the need to brag about it on TV every single chance they get and pretend that they were the only one who saw it coming.

  5707. I'm sure it's real and if I were in a really polluted area in China and I had the money then I might buy it. If you lived there you would probably at least wear a scarf over your mouth while commuting because the air is so bad and toxic. If you could afford more your would get a mask to try and filter out the pollutants. If you could afford more you just get your own air. This really just a progression on what they're already doing. It's easy to criticize and poke fun when you can get fresh air anytime you want it, but if you live somewhere where breathing can give you cancer then you might be thinking about your options....

  5708. I don't think they are all picky I think a lot of it is just "fantasizing" since that's what they do every single day.

  5709. Umm.... It's called a "freak accident" because it doesn't happen very often. There are many people who handle all sorts of wild animals every day all over the world and don't get killed. My guess is that you would have no problems calling someone who died in a car crash a "freak accident" even though over 30,000 die in this country each year in car accidents...
    1
  5710. German Carranza Woman are not a minority they make up 51% of the population and all countries have women...  So I have no idea why you would call them a minority group.  Makes no sense.  Furthermore Caucasians are not a minority,  That's the point....  Someone with german, swedish, italian, british heritage can spend their whole life without people knowing or caring what their heritage is. Black people don't have that option.   "European American" is the majority in this country.  It is the default, it doesn't need categorization.   It would be like being born in  japan and calling yourself a Japanese Japanese. However If you're black, Latino, Asian, etc. you're not part of that majority, you're a minority.  If you happen to be a white Latino and people can't tell your heritage from your looks (like Ted Cruz for example) then you have the luxury of simply being part of the of the default majority.   However there is a reason why people made a huge deal about Obama's birth certificate and they don't care at all about the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada.  Because Obama doesn't look like the majority and Ted Cruz does.  
    1
  5711. German Carranza Ethnicity is a large topic.  The first step is understanding that the entire country isn't homogeneous, the second step is knowing what those ethnicities are and that just because you don't acknowledge an ethnicity doesn't mean others do not.  You say that no one cares that you are Latino as if no one anywhere cares that someone is latino.  That isn't the case.  Just like people care if someone is black.  It's not something that you get to decide.  I suggest re-watching this video and understanding it from her point of view, not the view that you are projecting on her.
    1
  5712. German Carranza Again, the US is not a homogeneous ethnicity.  African American is an ethnic group in the US just like Latino.  I don't get why that is difficult for you to understand.  Black people have had music, art, language/slang, fashion, cuisine, comedy, that has been distinct from white culture and much of it was derived from African culture.  Furthermore of course she wasn't embarrassed to say "american", because "american" is part of "african american"......    She was simply being accurate.  BTW since you want to be specific "American" is not even the correct term....  In case you didn't realize there is a North, Central, and South America.  In fact people in South American countries get a bit upset by that sometimes.  It's just that "America" and "American" have become shorthand for "United States" and a "United States Citizen".  Not much different than how "African American" has become a short hand for "US citizen of African decent".

  5713. Jesus, not everything is a vast establishment conspiracy.... How many times have people been sick and underestimated how sick they were? Everyone knows that guy that says "they're ok" and the shows up to work and practically passes out. Every candidate has an incentive to downplay anything wrong with them. Every leader also feels the need to "project strength" all the time. So to make this out to be a Hillary thing or even an "establishment" thing is absurd and dishonest. There are progressive issues that need to be addressed EVERYWHERE and at every level of government (such as the Dakota Pipeline and MANY other issues happening RIGHT NOW), yet somehow 90% of your videos are focused on Hillary and how much you "hate" her. That said it would be nice if Bernie could jump in, but it's not likely to happen.

  5714. Can someone tell a joke without it turning into a soap box moment? Let me break it down for you... That meme wasn't saying that he looks bad, they were simply telling a stupid joke about prison and McDonalds.
    1
  5715. mgeek1 He can feel however he wants, but it is rather sad that he feels ashamed of something that would be normal weight for most of america.  So much so that he thinks he has to justify it or explain it with depression, etc.   When in reality all the mime was saying was "he was really skinny in one picture and not as skinny in another".  Yet Hollywood is so sensitive about weight that it becomes some kind of mark of shame that can only be justified by being on the verge of suicide.
    1
  5716. Akos Barati It's definitely a culture thing and people in Hollywood and LA in general are obsessed over looking as perfect as they can.  I don't think it makes a difference if you're getting small roles or not, you still feel like you're being judge constantly on your looks especially when you're income is based on it.   So I'm pretty sure the guy who created the meme was just thinking "Hey the prison break guy has added some weight so let me say something funny about it."   However in the LA bubble it came across as "OMG you're so disgustingly fat!  What happened to you? How can you even live with yourself now?"   I think the stress of living in that culture puts people in a a completely different mindset than the rest of the country.  I can even imagine that talking about depression and substance abuse is probably looked at in a better light than talking about getting fat or bald...

  5721. Derek Bao 1. Again, what exactly would you do if some stranger started chasing after you for no reason? Again, he was specifically told by the police not to follow the kid. 2. Don't blame people for not understanding what you write when you string together two cases involving a kid in the same paragraph without being clear about WTF you're talking about. 3. Getting your ass kicked is not somehow an indication of how a fight started, We have no idea how it started other than the fact that George was harassing Trayvon.. 4. Why does Trayvon's past "tweets" magically apply to an unrelated case but George's past assaults and altercations don't? Answer: because you're either an idiot who follows Fox News or a racist dick who doesn't care about looking into the past of the non-black guy who just killed someone. Speak to me about "truth" when you've actually treated both people in a case equally. Not just maligned the black kid based on "tweets".
    1
  5722. Derek Bao 1. Witnesses specifically heard Trayvon asking: "What are you following me for?" followed by a man's voice responding, "What are you doing around here?" So in other words he did exactly that. He didn't suddenly start punching. However George kept pursuing him even after being confronted and after the police told him to let it go. So again, what would you do in that situation? You confronted the guy and yet he still following you and questioning you for no reason. He won't leave you alone. Depending on your temperament it is very likely that you would get rather pissed in that situation. 2. No sorry, it wasn't clear. Your inflections aren't going to come across in text. Next time use the person's name, don't expect people to automatically know WTF you're talking about. When you say something like "this kid" people will assume that you're referring to the subject introduced in the previous sentence not a different person. This is basic grammar and has nothing to do with IQ. 3. You are the one litigating the case. Now suddenly your defense is the "outcome of the case". Which means that you know that your arguments are weak. The outcome of the case was determined based on the stand your ground law. Not based on what was right. It's really not too much to ask for people to get their heads out of their asses and know what's right. 4. I never made him out to be anything. You were the one who decided to use "tweets" to malign him in some way. I just asked why Trayvon's "tweets" are more important than George's past assaults? Which you don't seem to have an answer to, because it is an obvious double standard.
    1
  5723. Derek Bao 1. Again, there was absolutely no evidence of how the fight started. All we know is that George harassed Trayvon and a fight started at some point. The case was not decided on how the fight started, it was decided based on the SYG law which allows a person to kill someone even if they start the fight. 2. Yes, using proper grammar can go a long way. 3. In other words, you have no real arguments, only a "team" (or "side") that you belong to. 4. Again, why pay attention to the black kids character and not the person who just killed someone? Is it because you care more about your "side" than the facts? Perhaps you use your brain for something other than mindlessly defending "your side". People who do nothing more than cheer lead for a team really sicken me.
    1
  5724. Derek Bao 1. Again, and I've said this about 3 times now so I don't know why it is unclear, the case was decided based on the SYG laws. Not who started the fight. 2. I'll ignore your nonsense 3. Again, see #1. You're not even trying to think at this point. 4. I'm not talking about other cases. I'm specifically not talking about other white vs black cases. Which you're curiously bringing up and displaying your obvious bias. Use your brain, look at the studies and understand the statistics and bias within the system. Trump won because of the electoral college. He was also able to lie so much to fool enough reasonable people sick of the system to vote for him. Not to mention a large percentage of racists and evangelicals who don't care about facts or reason. Not to mention Clinton who was not like-able and honest enough for people to vote for her instead of just against Trump. Both OJ and Zimmerman walked free because of lawyers and how the laws were written not because they did the right thing. You can see how they both have conducted themselves after the fact to understand that they were never completely innocent.

  5725. Most people in Congress voted for the Iraq Resolution. That's why it passed.... Even John Kerry who ran for president in 2004 voted for it. Bernie Sanders didn't because he had foresight which is why we love him, but it's curious how we are suddenly applying this standard to Hillary when we weren't doing it before. It's not like voting for the resolution meant you voting to go to war it was still Bush's decision to invade and how to wage that war. It's not like she personally invaded Iraq. Also criticizing Hilary for the policies that the US has had for decades with Saudi Arabia is kind of ridiculous. The US has been up their ass for decades, that isn't somehow Hillary's doing.
    1
  5726. Kaze No... even most of the country was for the Iraq war at that time or basically "idk, I guess" about it. People were in complete shock over what happened during 911 and the Bush administration had waged a war of propaganda against the american people and congress to push for a war. The media didn't do their job and were practically helping the Bush administration with their narrative that was wrapped in "patriotism". I was against it from the beginning, but lots of my friends and coworkers were not.... It's easy to have hindsight and somehow blame it all on Congress, but the fact is the country was crazy and the Bush administration (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc) took advantage of that. Most people don't know that Hillary actually hired the person who negotiated the Iran Nuclear deal. She may be hawkish on some issues, but I don't think she's the demon that people make her out to be. I think part of her rhetoric is trying to appear more tough because she's surrounded by men who don't think that she's manly enough to be commander and chief. So my impression is that she's got kind of a chip on her shoulder because of that. A lot of people who lack foresight right now are supporting Trump or actively helping Trump get elected by feeding the hysteria over Hillary Hate

  5728. When you say it's about "culture", "family", and "personal responsibility" what you're really saying is that it's that race's fault for their problems and it's okay to blame them for that. It is nothing more than a form of racism, because you would rather blame the race rather than the socioeconomic conditions and institutional bias that creates those outcomes among certain ethnic groups. You're not going to stop poverty or violence by pointing fingers and saying "stop it", you do so by creating the conditions for people to thrive.

  5729. Well Nate Silver was right then.... As much as you didn't like the fact that he wasn't factoring in what you wanted him to factor in, bottom line is he was kinda more right than you.... Also you should have known these scandals were coming. I did. In fact that I'm surprised that even more hasn't come out because if you take even a small look at Trump's past it's pretty obvious how shady and misogynistic the guy is. It would be silly to believe that the Clinton campaign wouldn't do there research and jump on it. If it weren't for the sex scandals it would have been is tax returns, financials, dealing with the mob, using his foundation for personal business, hypocrisy on outsourcing and trade. In fact I think that would have hurt him more with his core supporters than the sex scandals.

  5730. So we traded out someone who voted for the Iraq Resolution and then later regretted it, for someone who is filling their cabinet with people who not only architected the Iraq war and the atrocities that happened there, but who also STILL want to double down in the middle east. Good going America.

It seriously hurts my head how profoundly stupid this is.

  5732. taragnor They don't, because there is no "evidence". People circle jerking conspiracies between themselves on the internet don't know the difference between evidence and conjecture.

  5733. taragnor I actually did read them because I was curious to see what people were seeing. However once I did it became painfully clear how absurd all the clams were. If you read emails between myself and my friends or coworkers you wouldn't understand much of it either. Because you're only getting half the conversation. You're not getting the in person conversations, phone conversations, inside jokes, history etc. No a "pizza-related map on a handkerchief" is not a code. It's simply a sentence you don't understand because you don't have the context. Not understanding a sentence in a private conversation between two people does not equate to a criminal investigation. A sentence you don't understand in a private email is not somehow evidence of criminality.

  5734. I just want to point out that when Mitt Romney lost to Obama he blamed it on getting the wrong numbers as well as not being black. So becoming a sore loser after losing the presidency sort of comes with the territory. I can't imagine what it's like spending years and even a good part of your life just to one day be able to run for president only to lose. It's one thing to lose to Obama, but to Trump? For someone like Hillary Clinton who was all but assured to be the first woman president in our history I honestly don't see how she hasn't gone insane with losing to someone like Trump.... Or maybe she has gone insane which is why she is in extreme denial. If it were me, I would have stayed in the woods, turned off the TV, and gotten therapy for the rest of the year.

It's not hard to test accuracy for something like that. I would assume that at the very least they would have done some testing to verify how accurate it is.

I'm referring to the mentality that comes with those who make claims of knowledge or belief vs. those who keep themselves open.  My experience is that those who make claim atheism are harboring a bias against all things religion rather than just a personal assertion.

  5752. I honestly do think the issue of trade was way overblown as a factor in this election. The only reason why it was a main issue portrayed by the media is because it is was one of the only real policies that Trump actually campaigned on. The election was more about "the establishment", racism (backlash against Obama), xenophobia, and hatred of Hillary.
    1
  5753. Kyle, you're making all kinds of assumptions just because Trump won. Keep in mind that he lost the popular vote by 2 million votes and keep in mind that he was running against Hillary and if it weren't for the press spending 10 months on her scandals she wouldn't have lost. Now the press will spend 4 years focused on Trump's scandals. So I would say that it's not just about Trump performance and the economy not tanking, but it's also depends on whether the press will fall in line and keep Trump in a good light for 4 years or dig up all those scandals that Trump tried to bury during the campaign.

  5757. Kyle I don't know what vision you're talking about since the GOP had absolutely no "vision" going into the election. Trump won by deciding to become populist about halfway through his campaign and most republicans decided to suck it up and support him for president. Meanwhile the left was left bickering about who is "pure enough" based on emails and speeches.

I can imagine that they are probably even more so informed in Ohio given the nature of the state in presidential elections. So I think you're going a little too far in an effort of removing yourself from your own bias and your own knowledge. Some of these primary voters may be more informed than you on these issues. Keep in mind that you also thought Hillary won in Minnesota...

  5770. Again, like I said I do think that the US involvement should be questioned. Yes the US has done a lot of horrible things in the name of power and influence. At the same time the US military has done a lot of humanitarian efforts, for example we single handedly prevented the genocide of the Yazidi people. Not to mention all the peace keeping efforts with the UN in keeping peopel from being slaughtered all over the world. Yes military involvement should be questions but to pretend everything is black and white simply because "we've done a lot of bad things in the past" is stupid.

  5774. Joshua Hester No you didn't clearly say that. Not at all....  Clinton voted for the patriot act, Iraq resolution, and supported DOMA all for political expedience.  Yet somehow you want to turn that into a mark against Sanders?  Perhaps you need to be looking more closely at your own choices.
    1
  5775. Joshua Hester   We just mentioned several things that Sanders did not vote according to popular democratic support.  DOMA, Iraq Resolution, Patriot Act, etc. so why are you lying? Secondly.  I said Senator, not first lady.  CHiP was enacted when Hillary was first lady. She was not an elected official. Third.  LOL....  You're REALLY reaching if you're giving Hillary credit for a "co-sponsorship"  Signing your name along with 50 other senators on a bill someone else worked on is not a an accomplishment.  Guess what?  Sanders was ALSO a cosponsor on that bill...  So in other words you haven't given me ANY accomplishments for Hillary as a Senator and you're expecting people to believe she "gets things done"... LOL Clearly you're just a shill for Clinton's campaign, because no free thinker mindlessly repeats campaign talking points like you do. Why don't you wake up and realize that people are sick of the fake talking points, lies, and bullshit?  Clearly it's not working, 
    1
  5776. Joshua Hester No, I asked you to provide accomplishments of Clinton as a Senator and you didn't.  It was a basic question and you failed to provide anything. You are clearly just shilling for a candidate.  I don't know if you're being paid to do so or maybe you have some other incentive, but it's obvious that your support is not based on anything.

  5777. Joshua Hester Well you're not providing anything evidence to the contrary so...  And using labels like "Sanders Supporter" further proves that you're not about ideas you're only about spin.

  5778. Not sure why you think hating everyone who practices a particular religion is going to fix a problem. idk Sounds pretty dumb to me...

  5779. ***** He didn't criticize Islam, he made a generalization of Islam based on the actions of a few. Somehow people think that is "criticism" when it's not. It's no different than if I said "white people are the race of destruction, hate, and bigotry" based on the actions of a few racists. I could make myself feel intellectual by saying I'm "criticizing white culture" when really all I'm doing is mindlessly generalizing and so are you.
    1
  5780. ***** 1. Source for the poll please. Show me where 80% believe that killing civilians is okay. I've seen many polls and that is complete bullshit. My guess is that you read it somewhere and automatically believed it because of your irrational bias. 2. Whether it's a race or a religion is irrelevant when it comes to generalizing. If your explanation is "Der... Muslim did it so therefore Islam bad". Then it's not a criticism it's a generalization. 3. I do know that Muslims have been around for a 1500 years and worldwide terrorism spiked 15 years ago. Doing the math would suggest that factors other than religion are at play. However you can go ahead and think that bashing an entire religion is somehow going to magically fix the situation. Again, that sounds really dumb to me.

  5781. Hamidiye Alayları It seems like the idea of "stating an example" when making a point is escaping you.

  5782. ***** 1. So in other words there is no poll. Just your assumption about anyone who practices a particular religion. 2. "You are calling facts stated about Islam a generalization." There were no facts stated about Islam. Please point to a "fact" stated about Islam. 3. Arabs have not been terrorized by Islam since it's entire existence. You make a statement while providing nothing to back it up. There was a golden age in Islamic word for many centuries twice as long as the US has even existed. The concept of a "University" first came from Islamic culture, Not to mention the concept of "algebra", theories on light, physics, etc. At one time Islamic culture was more advanced than it was in Europe. However a lot of wars happened and a lot of things changed. Pretending that somehow the middle-east was always like it is today is just being plain ignorant. There were many periods where Christianity also did horrible things all around the world and especially in Europe and there are periods like now where much of that is benign (except maybe places like Uganda, Nigeria etc.) So you people really need to get your head out your asses and understand that blind hysteria over Islam is not going to get you anywhere. What is happening today is nothing more than a blip in the arc of history. it doesn't represent 1500 years of a given religion nor does it explain how to fix the situation.
    1
  5783. ***** 1. What Poll are you talking about? You haven't posted anything. Why are you lying about that? 2.Again you have not provided any "facts about Islam". I don't know why you keep lying and say that you are. 3. Again if you don't know why something is happening today in a religion, but wasn't happening before means that you have no idea what the problem is. Simply pointing your finger at an entire religion is not somehow fixing the problem. If you think it is, then you're really mistaken.
    1
  5784. ***** I don't see anything.... I just see your comment that starts with: "Those are third party global stats....I guess a global study on Islams practices and beliefs shows it is a threat." So whatever you tried to post didn't come through. In any case it doesn't sound like you found anything that remotely says that "80% of Muslims think that killing and maiming civilians is okay" lol... Sorry but you are pointing a finger at an entire religion by saying "this is what that religion has done". Even though we're only talking about a tiny fraction of the nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world. You wish to generalize to the entire religion and by definition anyone who practices and preaches that religion. The thing you don't get is that this is the exact same mentality that many of the terrorists have. The US did torture, drone strikes on civilians, and a regime change that resulted in a million casualties so therefore all american citizens share the blame for it.

  5785. trstenik100 My point is they're all totalitarian ideologies under the right circumstances. Go to some countries in Africa and you'll see perfect examples of authoritarian Christianity. Even in this country you can find many facists and nationalists in the GOP not to mention many who wish for christian authoritarianism. Under the right circumstances (mass poverty, endless war, etc.) those ideas could very well flourish. You'll get much further talking against authoritarianism than telling someone that their religion sucks. It doesn't go over well attacking Christians in this country in that way nor does it go over well attacking Mulsims in other countries. In fact it just perpetrates the idea of the US waging a war on Islam, which is what a lot of people in the middle east believe. It is one way which is how a lot of people get recruited by extremists because they think they are protecting themselves from a war on all Muslims.

  5791. DUME85 | Modded Minecraft Videos The problem is when you make these generalizations and don't even try to look at nuance. The response to that poll question has absolutely nothing to do with you or me...  It is a response based on Muslims following sharia who are simply restating the beliefs in the Qur'an. It is not what they would actually do.  This is no different than what Christians in this country would say for gays or abortion doctors. If you look at actual executions for apostasy it's obvious that this is something rare and has only ever happened in the most extremist Muslims countries. Given the amount of Muslims that convert to Christianity this would be a regular occurrence. If you insist on cherry picking a single poll question out of the hundred you're not representing accurate information

Just because many Muslims live in third world countries and therefore have many backwards ideas doesn't make them bad people.

Furthermore the sea ice expands and contracts every year, that's why we use things like "averages".  If people are using that fact  as a basis that climate change is somehow made up then I find that really sad. Americans have become more and more prone to believe in conspiracies.  So companies like Discovery use that knowledge in order to draw in a certain demographic  in for ratings.  Did they have to pretend there was a "cover up"?  No, but it's more likely to get people like you tuned in and watching.

  5799. Yes people who are born into generations of poverty don't understand what they can do differently and what opportunities are out there. They lack the education, exposure, and the support mechanisms that people born into wealthy families have. However you don't fix that by pointing your finger at them and saying "fix your mindset" you fix that by providing the opportunities and education that they lack. Furthermore it's not like this applies to EVERYONE. There are LOTS of people who end up in bad situation where a little extra help is ALL THE DIFFERENCE between whether a family is living on the street or not. Pretending as if all poor people are "welfare queens" when it really on applies to a tiny percentage is the real sick mindset and that's what Ben Carson is suggesting here. The US is not somehow the only country with poor people. However those countries have found ways of increasing or maintaining their social mobility whereas ours has been decreasing for decades and there are reasons for that beyond someone's mindset.

  5803. "hate" and "anti-gun" is nothing but an appeal to emotions.  Don't you find it odd that your one opposition to TYT is based on emotions instead of the actual research that shows a clear consistent correlation (when you factor out the other contributors for violence and crime) between guns per capita and deaths?
    1
  5804. Legion Etrangere For one thing you don't know what you're talking about... Recent surveys show gun ownership on the DECLINE.  Secondly overall crime has also dropped which would of course effect overall violence. Finally if you actually gave a shit about reality you would look at the MANY peer reviewed studies which study guns per capita in relation to gun deaths which factor things like crime, population density, poverty, etc. However I doubt you will actually look at any studies on the subject unless they support your warped fantasy world where somehow having more weapons means less people will use them.

  5805. So many white people are oblivious to the fact that just about every month is white history month and just about every day is white appreciation day most of the history we learn is from the perspective of European history and the history of Europeans in forming the US. However the really sad thing is that we don't have a NATIVE AMERICAN history month since we decided to wipe out their thousands of years of history when colonist took over this land. Even though we love using that culture for naming things and sports mascots.

  5810. We're talking about random tweets now? If someone explains something you already know trying saying: "Yeah I know...". Pretty easy to do, and it doesn't require an elaborate plan to make people think you're stupid, but you're secretly not. Oh my aren't you clever? I have female friends that I know exactly what I'm talking about one moment and then have no idea what I'm talking about the next and get lost in what I'm saying. Figuring out what people know and don't know is called CONVERSATION. If you're annoyed that people aren't immediately aware of the breadth and depth of your knowledge from one sentence to the next then it means you're a bitch or a dick. Take your pick.

  5811. Beeftender Yes Hillary is more hawkish than I or any progressive would like, but LETS BE CLEAR.... An aggressive foreign policy is different than bringing back torture, purposely targeting civilians, saying that nuclear weapons are an option, and causing the entire world to hate you because of generalized xenophobic comments.... Sorry, but I don't trust a guy who is too insecure to handle someone calling his hands "small" to deal with foreign leaders or be prudent when it comes to the military after making those comments. I said "if" you endorsed those policies.... This whole thread is comparing Hillary to Trump based on the OC. This thread is not to question whether Hilary has never made a bad decision nor did my comment ever imply that Hillary has never bad decision. Clearly she has, but if you're arguing against Hillary then the assumption based on this thread is that you're supporting Trump over Hillary. And Hillary has never been convicted of any crime. If you're going to throw around the word "criminal" based on nothing but accusations then you might as well apply it to Trump who has been accused of raping his wife repeatedly, domestic abuse, working with the Mob, and running scams to cheat people out of money.

  5812. Beeftender I didn't see anyone here "blinding defending Hilary as if she can do no wrong". That's your imagination.
    1
  5813. Beeftender Again, the entire point of this thread is comparing Trump to Hillary. I don't know why this idea continues to evade you. Again you have not presented evidence of these "horrible things" nor how these "horrible things" indicate that her policies would be worse than the policies that Trump has already stated would be his policy. It seems like your whole premise is hoping that Trump is lying about what he wants to do.
    1
  5814. Beeftender She and most of the senate voted for the Iraq resolution, but nevermind the fact that the Bush administration lied us into the conflict and carried out numerous atrocities (Abu Ghirab, Gitmo, indefinite detention, torture, black sites, etc.). Her lack of judgement is not the same as the administration who carried it out. Trump wants to be the administration committing the atrocities. The US has been selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for decades. That isn't somehow a Clinton thing that is US policy. Again, how is that worse than promising to target civilians, thinking that a NUCLEAR WEAPON is a proper response to ISIS, advocating worse methods than torture and pissing off the entire Muslim world with racist policies? Do you even realize that since Donald Trump has been running he has been featured over and over in ISIS recruiting videos because of his anti-Muslim rhetoric? some of the things he says are so hateful that ISIS can use it as propaganda to make people think that the US is attacking Islam itself which motivates more people against the US. Sorry I don't want my president to be the #1 recruiting tool for ISIS. I don't want to turn moderate Muslims into radicals because we decided to make it a policy to bomb civilians and torture people whether they were innocent or not.
    1
  5815. Beeftender Sorry, but "supported", "voted for", a sex scandal etc. is not anywhere near the level as the polices that Trump is ACTUALLY advocating. There's no comparison to torture, genocide, dropping nukes, and fascism is the same as "taking donations" from unscrupulous sources then there is something wrong with you. Even that is nowhere near the shady business practices that Trump has done and currently doing with his campaign funds.

  5816. Beeftender Not once did I condone Hillary's position on anything. Stop making things up about what I said. I have simply said (repeatedly) that she is a far better option than Trump. Trump is even worse than Bush when it comes to foreign policy. He openly advocates torture and the demonetization of all Muslims. Yeah I think the torture of people whether they are innocent or not and leading us to war which led us to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and making ISIS stronger is far worse than basically continuing Obama's foreign policy. http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/02/politics/donald-trump-terrorists-families/ http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/03/22/donald-trump-belgium-attacks-torture-salah-abdeslam-sot-blitzer-tsr.cnn http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-vows-to-strengthen-laws-to-allow-torture-waterboarding-election-2016/

  5817. Beeftender Again, Trump has gone on record wanting to expand the drone program and explicitly target civilians. How could you now see that as worse? Trump was also on record arguing for regime change in Lybia in 2011. So we really don't know his stance on regime change is. However I do know that bombing civilians, torture (even if it doesn't work according to Trump), blindly supporting the settlements in Israel (saying they should build more), and declaring all Muslims bad will lead to more conflict, more war not less. Not to mention the racial conflict in our own country. Violence has already escalated because of Trump. Clinton is not that much different than Obama on foreign policy. Yes we don't like the existing drone strikes and playing fast and loose with the idea of regime change, but at least she can be moved left as she has already moved left because of the debates with Sanders. At least she UNDERSTANDS foreign policy and is not going to accidentally start a war or completely piss off other leaders, or strain the ties with our existing allies. Trump, like George Bush, will blunder his way through foreign policy.... He is a loose cannon who has absolutely no clue what our allies are doing for us or what our enemies are doing against us. He has already managed to piss off Mexico, UK, Scotland, China, France, etc. Many leaders around the world have come out saying that he's a joke and doesn't know what he's talking about. Most of the world leaders have ZERO respect for Trump. He says things like maybe Japan should get Nukes. The UK parliament has voted to ban the guy from the country. There are protests in Mexico every week against him. Electing a guy who is already hated around the world is not a smart thing to do.

  5818. Riki B. Eyestarone I have no idea what you're talking about....

  5819. Beeftender 1. No she is not just as hated around the world as Trump. She is supported by most if not all leaders around the world so what you're saying is factually not true. She is hated by many here domestically sure. However politicians around the world are not trying to ban her from entering their country as they have tried to do with Trump, they are not calling her a buffoon and uninformed like they are with Trump. There are no Hillary protests like there are against Trump. There isn't a huge Mexican pinata market as there is with Trump. ISIS is not constantly putting Hillary into their recruitment videos for hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric like they are for trump. So what you're saying is factually incorrect. 2. No. Again. You are being willfully ignorant here. As I said. Trump wants to go BEYOND and expand what the Obama administration did as far as drone strikes and directly target civilians. He wants to deploy 30,000 troops to Syria. He wants to bring back torture and go beyond waterboarding. He wants to limit freedom of speech. He wants to ban everyone from an ethnic group or religion from entering the country. He wants to run the country with machismo and nationalism instead of strategy. This is the Bush Administration 2.0. To say that these things are "equivalent" to anything that the Obama administration has done is absurd. Again you are willing to overlook a monster and everything he has said in debates and interviews just because of the hatred you've whipped up in your mind against Hillary. It is irrational. I don't like her either, but at least I can be objective about it. Clearly you cannot.
    1
  5820. Beeftender Just because every leader doesn't represent their people on every single issue doesn't mean that democratically elected leaders don't represent their people at all. Those leaders are our trade partners, can help us against terrorism, or go to war against us. Pretending as if they are somehow irrelevant is extremely dumb. It literally takes two seconds to search on Google where Trump said that he would expand the drone program and target the families of terrorists. The fact is there is only one candidate in the current race who has claimed that they would expand the current drone program and that is Donald Trump. If you're using words like "evil" then you're clearly not being rational.... Again, I never said that both candidates weren't bad... It is just really clear that Trump is far worse. Like I said, he wants to expand the drone program, target families, bring back torture (whether it works or not as he claims), he is spreading xenophobia and nationalism everywhere, send ground troops to Syria, played around the idea of using a nuclear weapon in the middle east, most world leaders already do not want to work with the guy, and even the people of those countries hate the guy. Again, your hatred of Clinton is blinding you to a much bigger monster.

  5821. Sorry, but Musk needs to first figure out how to make going into the earth's orbit and back affordable and sustainable before talking about Mars. By all indications SpaceX isn't even accomplishing that yet. This smells (reeks) of a shameless publicity stunt to get people interested into investing more money into SpaceX. Furthermore there is no scenario that would somehow make Mars easier to live on than the earth. I don't care if an asteroid hits us or global warming goes out of control. The idea that we have to go to space for our survival is a bullshit one. There is NOTHING more habitable than earth. We should go to space in order to innovate, learn, explore, but this isn't Star Trek and I wish people would stop pretending that it is.

  5824. 777SilverPhoenix777 Look...  People DID leave because it was getting bad.  Which is why when the snow started at 12  "rush hour" started at 1:00... However by then it was too late.  And as people were sitting in traffic the highways started completely freezing over. People were stuck behind major hills, ramps, etc. that were completely coated with ice, not "snow", but ICE.  Being on an incline that is iced over is a dangerous situation no matter where you are.  No amount of "pumping your breaks" is going to help that situation.  And YES car dealers don't somehow stop selling anti-lock brakes at the border, they are the norm here.... It's really easy to sit back and blame people you've never met on what they "coulda shoulda" did when you're in a completely different situation... Especially based on little more than pictures that don't tell you the entire story.  To this day you can find cars abandoned on the roads and highways because people had to walk for miles to get home or to the nearest shelter, because the ice made certain areas impassible by a car without chains and the traffic was so backed up it took some people 10, 12, 16 hours to get home. What should have taken place is that the city should have started treating the roads before it hit.  At least those with inclines (Atlanta is hilly), but they didn't expected ice to form so quickly...   Like I said this isn't the first time it's snowed here, but it's never been like this. The only thing you are right about is that with climate change these unusual situations will be far more common so people will have to start preparing for the worse...  But that doesn't just apply here that applies everywhere.  Floods, Tornadoes, hurricanes, can all happen in unexpected places.  Meanwhile today is sunny and 50 degrees...

  5827. Only if you ignore the fact that grassfed beef is actually carbon neutral because of the pastures maintained to feed the cattle. People need to be educated on SUSTAINABILITY not changing their diet to match the unsustainable practices of industrial agriculture and factory farming. We're not going to be able to eat our way out of this problem people....
    1
  5828. ***** Sure it is, depends on the animal and how it is raised.  Again, the grasses maintained by pastures absorbs the carbon produced by cows.  However you can also raise plants unsustainably and many plants that we eat (like lettuce) rely on a ton of fossil fuels to manufacture.  Even far more than many meats. Not to mention the damage to billions of insects, frogs, birds, bees, etc. as a result of the pesticides.   It amazes me that people think that plants grow magically from nothing.  All life on this planet is from a cycle.  If you don't have animals to fertilize the soil then where do you think it comes from?  It comes from synthetic fertilizers derived from oil.  If we don't have the mindset for sustainability then we will destroy our planet.  Turning vegan does not fix the problem.
    1
  5829. ***** Again, you're wrong.  Every animal does not require more energy than every vegetable.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/vegetarian-or-omnivore-the-environmental-implications-of-diet/2014/03/10/648fdbe8-a495-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html Humans don't sit around eating unprocessed corn all day, we eat a variety of vegetables and many of those vegetables require heavy processing before we consume them.   Not to mention the cost of not eating locally.   Again, all life is a cycle that relies on both plants and animals to be self sustaining.  Monocrops are never sustainable.  You think that you can sit around eating plants and solve are unsustainability problems meanwhile the planet is burning...  I suggest you watch the documentary A Farm for the Future to get an idea of how unsustainable our current agricultural practices are.  There are many methods for integrating plants and animals into a "closed system" that is self sustaining and requires very little energy to maintain.
    1
  5830. ***** No it isn't.  Factory Farming is the cheaper and cost effective process it isn't the more sustainable one.  Cost and sustainability are not the same thing.  The documentary was not pro meat by any stretch.   Look, if you are completely ignorant to aquaculture, permaculture, and sustainable farming practices then there is very little that I can discuss with you.  Yes the yields in a similar plot of land are much higher and require very little maintenance. You're talking to someone who has mostly changed their diet over decade ago to local food and who actually seeks out farmers based on their methods.  I know the people I get my food from and actually give a shit about this planet and what I eat.  You can be part of the ignorant masses that think they're being ethical, healthy, and sustainable by buying a potato chips, soy burgers, and garden salads, while being completely clueless to everything that goes into that product or you can actually educate yourself a little.
    1
  5831. ***** Look I already know the stats on our current agricultural practices, but it's clear that you do not want to educate yourself on what I've been repeating over and over. So this is pointless.  Plants do not grow from nothing there is no such thing as sustainability without pairing plants and animals.  If you cannot understand that then you don't know how an ecosystem works.

No.   Are you facing any kind of ongoing institutionalized anti-Semitic bias for simply being Jewish? No. It's history for you just like it is for most people.

  5844. poppaDehorn There's something called "means, motive, and opportunity".  Of course victim testimony is certainly evidence in a criminal trial and if that testimony makes sense to jury the guy goes to jail.  If your mother or sister accused some guy of rape, you would believe them immediately.  However since Bill Cosby is famous and you think you know him, somehow the testimony  of 40 women is less important than his denial. People give celebrity and wealth so much power in our society. People like you are the reason why rape victims rarely come forward.
    1
  5845. poppaDehorn Not sure what makes you think that I'm taking this personally.  I just understand reality...   The fact is most women don't come forward when they are raped.  They don't come forward because they either don't want to deal with it and/or they don't want to face the criticism of people like you calling them liars.   Which is exactly what happens when you accuse someone powerful or popular of rape. If 40 women coming forward isn't enough for you to question Cosby's guilt then you're basically proving the reason why women are scared to come forward. Of course It's easy for you to say that they should have come forward when you're not sacrificing your livelihood or career.  Do you not understand the position that these women were in? Do you honestly think that someone like Cosby, who built a media empire, would be stupid enough to choose women that he thought would run straight to the police?  Seriously? If you're referring to the rape case story in Rolling Stone.  That was ONE woman and the issue was that her story wasn't lining up with what other people said had occurred.  In other words there was "conflicting testimony".  That isn't what's happening in the Cosby case, there isn't 40 women testifying to one thing and 80 other witnesses saying that's not what happened.  Instead there are just people like you calling them liars for no reason.
    1
  5846. poppaDehorn How is there more proof of innocence than guilt?  Testimony is in fact used as evidence in a trial.  If you have 20 or 30 women testifying that a rape happened and there is means, motive, and opportunity to do so then it tends to lean towards guilt.  So in what alternative reality do you see more evidence of innocence based on 40 counts of rape?
    1
  5847. kells y No one said anything about criminal records. Cosby used is influence to keep people from talking just like he used it against reporters trying to interview him about the rape accusations and prevent the interview tapes from going out. Apparently you have no idea how hard it is to break into the entertainment industry.  People with power and influence can easily blacklist someone so that they never work anywhere again.  Especially in black entertainment which is an even smaller industry. 
    1
  5848. poppaDehorn Yes and testimony from many victims and witnesses and circumstantial evidence is used to prove to a jury "beyond a reasonable doubt".  Not sure why you keep re-posting that as if it's some kind of "gotcha" when it isn't. We'e been sitting hear talking about getting blacklisted and how easy it is for people in power to keep people quiet. Especially those who are weak and without power.  So I'm not sure what part of "afraid to come forward" don't you understand.  Also rape laws were certainly less strict in the 70s & 80s than they are now. Or are you trying to suggest that drugging women against there will and then having sex with them is not rape so therefore it is OK?
    1
  5849. kells y I'm saying that anyone who has done this for years and has gotten away with it could only do so by choosing their victims wisely.  Which I'm sure involves lots of criteria that a person would look for in a vulnerable female that isn't likely to talk or be listened to.
    1
  5850. poppaDehorn  It's insane that you don't realize that victim testimony is used as evidence in criminal cases.  Yet somehow when it comes to these women it isn't for you.   How exactly do you think they prosecute child molestation cases?  What "evidence" do you think they use other than the testimony of many victims coming forward?
    1
  5851. kells y   It doesn't take much... Would you rather be the lone person standing up against a person who everyone respected and believed was the pillar of the community or would you rather be with a group of people standing up?  For most people there is power in numbers. The reality is most rape cases don't get reported.  When individual women have the courage to stand up then it encourages other women to do so as well.  That happens in ALL rape cases.  Most women think they were the only one who was assaulted.  So they think it would be just their word against everyone else.... Also keep in mind that many of these assaults didn't happen yesterday.  Most of these happened in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s.  Women had far less power back then,
    1
  5852. kells y Rape kits weren't in widespread use until after 2000... Again, stop applying 2015 standards to the 60's 70's and 80's.  The vast majority of these women have absolutely nothing to gain by lying and it is highly illogical for 40+ women to accuse a guy of dosing and raping them "just because".  However it is highly logical for a guy who did it to deny it.
    1
  5853. kells y Again rape kits weren't in any widespread use until well after 2000.  The fact that a few people got rape examinations in the 80s is irrelevant.  The fact that a few people won the lottery too it doesn't mean that everyone did. So where is your evidence that all of these old ladies are somehow trying to scam everyone? As if all of these old ladies from around the country got together one day to conspire against Bill Cosby for "some reason".  Right...  Sounds like an idiotic conspiracy theory to me from people who don't want to face the truth.
    1
  5854. poppaDehorn  So let me get this straight...  Cosby is innocent because he settled out of court and paid a lot of money to keep the woman he assaulted quiet?  Wow... Your powers of denial are astounding...    Somehow in your mind if you pay someone to keep quiet, you have the court records sealed, and you settle out of court to prevent 13 other woman from testifying against you then it means that you're innocent?  
    1
  5855. poppaDehorn  Sorry, but your entire argument still just boils down to: "all these women are lying and Cosby isn't".   1. The women in the original suit weren't part of the settlement they were just witnesses wanting to tell their story.  Anything more than that is just a conspiracy theory. 2. 150K is a paltry sum for someone worth hundreds of millions.  It probably barely covered the attorney fees. 3. Why hide details of the court case?  This doesn't just include statements by the women involved, but it includes Cosby's own testimony that he did not want getting out.   An innocent man doesn't have anything to hide. 4. The couple dozen women that came out after this civil suit weren't suing for any financial gain.  They were simply telling their story. Again this all boils down to somehow thinking that 40+ people are liars for absolutely no reason.  This is either it's because Cosby is famous and people think that they somehow "know him" or it comes from some kind of deep seeded misogyny where people automatically mistrust women. Occam's razor applies here....
    1
  5856. poppaDehorn   Yeah because it's so plausible that a grand conspiracy was launched to find 13 women that Bill Cosby had contact with and get them all to perjure themselves under oath in order to get a pay day of like 5 grand each after she's done paying all of her legal fees. The conspiracy was so effective that 20 or so other women came out later with similar stories. You don't have to trust everyone, just apply basic logic.  If you have 1 woman writing a book or threatening a multimillion dollar lawsuit who has a questionable past or making false claims then sure there is grounds to be skeptical.  However if you have 40 women over the course of a few decades with similar stories looking for NOTHING.  Then it makes sense that their is something to their stories. Again if 5 kids came to you saying that the guy down the street molested them, would you just ignore them?
    1
  5857. poppaDehorn And I suppose you have examples of widespread accusations of groups of 10 or more women accusing a single guy of rape?  Please cite those examples and how they relate to this case.

  5858. As soon as he said that wealth inequality was a myth and that anyone who works hard should make more money, it was immediately obvious that he is an entitled dick...

The fact that you forgot that along your climb to wealth, power, and fame is pathetic for a person who considers himself spiritual.

  5859. *****  1. I don't recall ever saying that no one should ever have an opinion on a case, yet for some silly reason you're making that assumption.  That's called a 'straw man" 2. Arguing for someone's rights is completely different supporting the oppression of someone's rights.  Clearly Cenk is on the side of the husband having "no rights" in this matter.  Which is complete nonsense when it is his wife and his unborn child.  This is no different than the conservatives wanting the state to keep "choice" away from women, gays from marrying, or people from smoking pot.

  5861. +TheRealDesi Jantha Libertarians are like little kids who through tantrums and blindly lash out without realizing everything that went into putting a roof over their head. They believe in myths like a "free market" when in reality no such thing has ever existed in the history of mankind. They also fail to realize that the most prosperous nations actually have larger governments as a percentage of GDP and there is such a thing as an effective use of government rather than a corrupt use.

  5863. TheRealDesi Jantha No I think that comparing dictatorships like the USSR & Maoist china is idiotic.  Would you also compare dictatorships in capitalist countries or banana republics to anyone supporting capitalism?  Why? because it would be just as stupid.  Have you actually LOOKED at Sander's tax plan?  He doesn't raise taxes on the poor or middle class, in fact he wants to save them thousands on healthcare and education. Secondly most southern states actually take more from the government than they give back, because they have these shitty republican representatives that talk about god, guns, and cut taxes for rich people,  but then turn around and don't do shit about improving the lives of their own people. You're sitting there defending tax cuts for the rich thinking that you're helping poor people but you're not.  You've just accepted all the lies, propaganda, and bullshit given to you over and over by people paid lots of money to manipulate you.  Do your own research.

  5869. Watson Lubin What about him? Bernie Sanders is pretty much the only honest politician in the race. One of the only honest politicians in the country actually. People have a knee jerk reaction to his policies because they have been brainwashed by decades of the Cold War and most don't know the difference between places like Denmark and Finland vs the former Soviet Union because they have been brainwashed for years by republican politicians "running against" something and making shit up. Meanwhile many western democracies in Europe and outside of Europe (Germany, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Japan Australia, etc.etc.) who don't have this baggage or brainwashing have implemented these policies which have been working great for decades. Anyone spending two seconds researching the outcomes in these countries when it comes to healthcare, education, wealth per capita, innovation, social mobility, etc. would understand this as well.

You took all that backwards thinking that has oppressed black and brown people all over the world for centuries and decided to make it your own.... It's obvious because you're using the exact same arguments that the white racists use when talking about black people. For you it's "pedophilia" and for them it's "crime and violence", but it's the SAME argument. When I see people like you it makes me sad, because I know it's the result of a lifetime of trauma and sadness that you cannot move past. It's no different than soldiers who come back from a war broken and unable the escape the violence that they endured for so long.

Furthermore selling a self driving car doesn't some how mean everyone on the road will suddenly have one just like everyone isn't driving electric cars just because of the Tesla. or many other electric vehicles and hybrids. There are many old cars on the road because not everyone is interested in wasting money on buying a new car every other year. It will take DECADES for that to happen and that's only if self driving is included as a standard feature on cars (like cruise control). If it's going to cost a significant extra amount it will probably take another decade or two for the technology to become cheap and ubiquitous for all car manufactures to include it.

  5886. Capitalism is a completely outdated system, but it's the best that we can do right now. The more capitalism you have the bigger government you need to maintain that capitalism. At it's core, capitalism is about exploitation and the profit motive so you need socialism to balance that out. For hundreds of years there has always been this arms race between monetary forces and government bodies and regulations where each side continues to grow and and get more complex. This nonsense is a complete waste of resources, but we're so used to it we can't think outside of the box we've built our society around. it'll probably take another hundred years to transition to something better. Something along the lines of a RBE.

However not everyone was that lucky and for those millions this is their reality.

Could it save hundreds of children from getting kidnapped and raped? Yes. These are not black and white situations. Yeah we've wasted our military bombing and occupying places that we shouldn't, at the same time there are people who frankly have been fucked over by this country and other western countries who could really use help to survive and get a leg up. Usually that help in those places that really need it is but a tiny fraction of what we spend in the middle east for oil and geopolitics.

  5916. matszz Wow... Please re-read, re-listen to that quote you made from Ana.  You are clearly confused here.  She was saying it was ridiculous for anyone to say that we "shouldn't say no" for someone diagnosed with mental illness to own a gun.  Somehow you heard that completely wrong.  Furthermore as others have pointed out Asperger's is a neurological disorder not a "mental illness". Apparently you don't understand the  "appeal to authority" argument....   Claiming that a video is offensive to people with Asperger's/Autism and then citing examples of actual people with Asperger's/Autism being offended by the video is called "evidence" not "Appeal to Authority". Also you clearly don't understand what a "straw man" is....  A straw man is when I make up "your argument" not when I cite likes/dislikes as support for "my" argument. The fact is there are plenty of people offended by this video.  I theorized that the reason why you don't see why people were offended is because of  a lack of empathy.  However it is clear now that you simply didn't understand the statement that Ana made.  This is apparent from the fact that you're quoting it and still interpreting something completely different.
    1
  5917. matszz Sigh....  No you in fact don't understand appeal to authority. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-authority The question isn't whether "people with Asperger's can be wrong".  The question is whether "people with Asperger's are offended". Appeal to authority would be to say something along the lines of "My psychology professor believes that XYZ statement can be offensive to people with Asperger's" Taking a piece of my sentence completely out of context and pretending that the core of my argument was about you accusing me of "making things up" is actually a straw man argument yourself.  Congratulations. Your next paragraph makes absolutely no sense. What she meant is pretty clear in the context in which she made the statement and many people were offended here by those exact statements.  I haven't heard any else other than you make the claim that what she said in plain English meant something different.  So I really don't know why your understanding of English and the use of a double negative is different than the vast majority commenting on this video.

  5918. matszz   1. Resorting to name calling is a clear indication that your arguments are weak. 2. There is no point in wasting my time arguing your clear misuse of logical fallacies.  It is going off on a pointless tangent. 3. Your disagreement boiled down to an interpretation of the English language.  I don't know how else to prove that your interpretation of language in your head is incorrect other than pointing out that everyone else holds a different interpretation.

  5919. L St. A. He didn't "give up is life for his country". He died doing his job. You make it sound as if he volunteered to die in the hunger games for his district.... You know exactly how are military is used. I know you're not dumb enough to believe there has been an actual threat to this "country" since the civil war. So please stop pretending as if anyone who dies in the military is "dying for their country". It is no different than a police officer who get's killed on duty because that's all are military is doing is policing other countries with heavy weaponry. No one is blaming the marine who got killed... However it becomes completely Orwelian to use fallen soldiers as shields against criticism which is EXACTLY what Trump is doing. You're giving the exact reaction he wants. Which is to shut your brain off and feel emotional because of patriotism and warm fuzzy feelings about brave soldiers. It is not patriotic by any stretch It is mindless jingoism. The guy could have been a total dick who got off on shooting people for all you know.

  5920. L St. A. The moment of closure when someone dies isn't done in front of TV cameras while your husband's death is used for propaganda and political coverage. If you think that's what the presidential address is for then I'm sorry but you've been fooled. It's really a sad state of our country where feeling good about something nice said about a person who died takes precedence over not letting people die in the first place. I would have had actual respect for Trump if he did the same for the 30 civilians who died instead of picking out the one that would go over well with people like you. I care about all the deaths not just "ours". You really need to watch the UK Parliament sometime. Yes politicians DO shout back at the prime minister and challenge him on the bullshit he is saying. Which is partly why they actually officially investigated and found wrong doings in their part of the Iraq War. Meanwhile for us it is just something we ignore. As long as we say nice things about our fallen soldiers then everything is okay.
    1
  5921. L St. A. You're trying to compare a ceremony to the president addressing congress? The queen isn't head of the parliament she has little to do with the government. Sorry that's nowhere near Apples to Apples. Again, when the prime minister addresses parliament there is constant interjection. Who are you to decide that it was closure? You see a grieving widow giving a smile and tearing up and suddenly you deem it "closure" and good enough for you to sweep the 8 year old child and the 30 civilians who died under the rug? Sorry but I'm pretty sure it wasn't closure for the marine's father who still want's an investigation into what happened. I'm also pretty sure it wasn't closure for all the families of the 30 civilians who died in that operation. Especially after Trump claimed during the campaign "that we should take out their families".
    1
  5922. L St. A. You're arguing nonsense. First off let me repeat. The Queen's Opening of parliament IS a ceremony. The presidential address IS NOT a ceremony it is a speech to congress. If you think that it is a ceremony then I'm sorry, but you don't know dick about the US government. The presidential inauguration is a "ceremony". However addressing congress is a constitutional requirement that the president must give periodic information/reports to congress. It is not a fucking ceremony.... Furthermore you appear to have selective memory. These are your words: "that doesn't take away the fact that this man deserved to be commemorated and his wife to be given the sense of closure..." "Normal functioning human beings are able to commemorate this fallen soldier and give the widow her moment of closure" So please stop pretending that you were not the one who kept asserting that this was about closure repeatedly in your replies. The subject of closure didn't appear by magic YOU were the one who brought it up. Then you assert it again here: "Yes, I deem it closure for the widow -- the person who is being commemorated by the President." And then you say: " as opposed to you -- never tried to define how people have their closure. " WTF dude? YOU JUST DID. I'm sorry but this contradiction is irrational and nonsensical. Again, who are you to determine what is closure for a person or not? Because that is clearly what you are doing here. Again, you felt good about it, so you're letting your emotion dictate what is good for people. Again I would have had respect for Trump if he actually commemorated the 30 civilians who died in that raid instead of using emotion as propaganda to win over people like you. Trump is on record not caring about families in the middle east and saying that we should purposely target them. That should concern you more than saying something nice about a dead soldier and commenting on how much of an applause it got. You need to wake the fuck up and see how you're being manipulated.

  5927. zedirich7 What do you think a "militia for the security of a state" means exactly? It's a freaking state militia! State militia were a big thing back when the constitution was signed so certain states wanted guarantees that they could keep their militias. Specifically their "slave patrols". The only reason their is disagreement is because of a lot of propaganda from the NRA and gun nuts who don't bother reading the entire sentence. There was never any kind of infallible individual right to have weapons on you at all times. There were even towns back in the day which banned people from carry guns inside town limits.
    1
  5928. zedirich7 Well it seems to me that we have been "letting our leaders decide the meaning of the constitution". Progressives interpret it one way (the right way IMO) while conservatives interpret it in a way that somehow makes it a right for individuals to own machine guns and assault rifles (even though those things never existed in 1796) but for some reason they are arbitrarily okay with bans on individuals owning things like nuclear weapons, surface to air missiles, anthrax, etc. In either case whomever is elected into congress or the courts interprets it however they want to. Yet people will still claim that it's "unconstitutional!"

Senario Most of my friends were disillusioned with Obama after like the first 8 months.  Political parties need to be abolished...  I've been saying that for several years now.  They were never part of the constitution and the founders knew that they would be a problem.  Political parties are antithetical to democracy because they inevitably start looking out for their own interests instead of the people and when people vote for a party they do so out of tribalism and supporting their team rather than ideas.

  5931. Drugs have long term side effects Kyle.... Even if something works being on a drug that alters your brain chemistry for decades is not a great idea and if someone gets addicted then they can be taking a drug whether they actually still need it or not. Depression, like pain, shouldn't be solved by numbing yourself indefinitely. If you're taking a drug for the sake of taking a drug then it's not a "cure".... Drugs are mostly stop gaps not cures, we already live in a society that is WAY TOO MEDICATED where people are looking for the next pill or the next pill to stop the side effects of the last pill instead of solving their problems permanently. "Chemical imbalance" is a bullshit term Kyle... It's nothing more than marketing that Big Pharma used to push psychotropic drugs.
    1
  5932. Afanasi Bushmanov Basically he's implying that if heroin makes someone feel better and happy then it's okay to keep taking it no matter how addictive it is or what the long term effects might be. It's an irresponsible thing to say. Sorry, but "chemical imbalance" is nothing more than a made up term used to market drugs, nothing more. It's such a vague, imprecise, and meaningless term that no real scientist would use it. It's no better than old medieval terms like "bad humors" it's nothing more than pseudoscience. It is the blanket imprecise and meaningless terms like "chemical imbalance" that causes people to justify the need for drugs before they even visit a doctor's office. The fact that you "think" that most mental illnesses are caused by a "chemical imbalance" is evidence of how well this marketing from pharmaceutical companies has worked over the past few decades. Real mental illnesses have a real diagnoses and real causes. Not just "bad humors"

  5933. Afanasi Bushmanov There is no one cause..... That's like asking "what is the cause of physical illness?". Could be psychological, social, physical trauma to the brain, heavy metals, infections, poor nutrition, or drugs. Or it may not even be an illness at all such as in many cases of ADHD where it's about understanding that different people learn differently and they always have. There have been studies that show that schizophrenic patients who were not on drugs had fewer psychotic episodes than those who were for long periods of time. Not to mention studies that show that therapy has just as good of results compared to treating depression with drugs and with more long term changes. Nuerotransmitters are physical things that the brain changes and rewires over time, changing or interfering with a chemical signal sent or received by a Nuerotransmitter with a drug is not the same as changing the pathway. Again, there is no such thing as a "chemical imbalance". It's a phrase meant to make people think "the brain is made up of A, B, & C chemicals and if they are out of balance and I have less B chemical then all I need to do is add more B chemical and everything will be fine! yeah!" It's an absolutely ridiculous notion meant to sell drugs. The APA came out with a story a few years ago that explained that more often than not "Americans are taking medications that may not work or may be inappropriate for their mental health problems." In many cases we are giving these drugs to children as young as five with little regard to the long term effects these drugs will have on the long term development of that child. My point is that drugs are the lazy way of treating a mental illness, they are a quick way for doctors and pharmaceutical companies to make lots of money over a long period of time. Sure there are many cases where drugs are needed, but in general they are being over-prescribed and causing more issues than they are solving. Therapy and nutrition should be the first go to methods for treating mental illness not drugs. Unfortunately we live in a society where the patients are begging for drugs before the doctor can even diagnose them. http://davidhealy.org/psychiatry-gone-astray/

  5934. Afanasi Bushmanov I won't pretend to be a doctor or understand your particular situation, but I will say that if given the choice would you rather be on beta blockers for the rest of your life or would you choose a therapy for 6 months that would cure you for the rest of your life? I have/had a friend that I've known for a couple decades. She also had social anxiety as well as panic attacks. She was convinced of the whole "chemical imbalance" thing and in her mind the cure was xanax. One of her psychiatrists prescribed it to her and since it "worked" she convinced herself that xanax was somehow providing chemicals that her brain needed. (as if it were some kind of vitamin) So her whole point of going to a doctor became to get prescribed xanax and if she didn't get it legally she got it from dealers. I've known her since she was a teenager so I could tell the impact that xanax had on her life. Instead of someone dealing with anxiety and the occasional panic attack she became someone that would go from blissful ignorance to a psychotic break. As well as lots of anger outbursts in between. She couldn't function without xanax, but at the same time she couldn't hold a normal job. At one point during a break down she even pointed a loaded gun at my head. She never listened to me about learning to cope without xanax and our friendship suffered for it and I stopped talking to her for a long time. Several years ago she finally came to the conclusion to get herself off xanax and the change was pretty immediate, she became more of a "normal" person and ended up getting a good job and then a promotion. Basically reverting back to the person that I remembered. She's very lucky to be alive today because xanax took her down a very dark path and it took her a long time to realize it. In reality a lot of her anxiety stemmed from her childhood and issues in her family that she never had the chance to deal with. So instead of dealing with it or finding other coping mechanisms she covered it up with a drug. Unfortunately when you just cover up your problems they don't go away they just come out in other ways.

  5935. Afanasi Bushmanov Yeah totally agree that it's not okay for Kyle to suggest that all drugs are somehow in the same category. Some drugs like caffeine, marijuana, aspirin, or beta blockers can be much more benign than things like xanax, meth, or heroine. Addiction is not something to mess with or treat lightly.

  5937. +Shannon Cassel .... I can respect people, but I can't respect what they believe. If your answer is to "have faith" then all you're saying is that belief is worth more than outcomes. That if I put on a robe, recite some text, and visit a holy place then die because of something that happens when you put millions of people in one place then I'll go to a "magic place", but if I die slipping on a banana then I don't. It's absurd. That's not to say that there aren't things beyond our understanding and our consciousness. There are many things beyond our knowledge, beyond our perception, and way beyond what we can begin to understanding. However to admit this is also admitting that human morality has absolutely nothing to do with it. That if something as simple as 700 people dying in a stampede is beyond our understanding then our concept of morality, scriptures, rituals, special robes and clothing would also be utterly meaningless to something of a completely different consciousness. Having faith is nothing more than fulfilling a human need to believe in something. My biggest problem with believers in Abrahamic religions is that they resolve themselves to thinking that all spiritual insight and knowledge ended 2000 years ago. It's like someone growing up and still using crayons and play doh to communicate and share ideas. It's a spiritual ignorance that leads to repeating silly rituals, believing in special places, hating themselves, hating others, and placating themselves on the idea that if they just have enough faith then they will get to a 'magical place" when they die. It's all based on weakness.

  5941. We all have different experiences no matter what our race is.   The reason why integration is important is that the more integrated we are the less we'll see people as "the other".   I was just talking to a white racist last week who was convinced that black people don't ever travel anywhere to dig wells or help people in need.  Even though I personally know 2 or 3 black people who literally did that very thing.  The only reason why he held those beliefs is because he really didn't know any black people.  When you surround yourself with only one kind of people and you have no curiosity about others, it becomes very easy to demonize others and think of them as nothing more than a racial stereotype rather than an individual. A stratified society is not a very healthy society.  Whether it's economic stratification, racial stratification, religious stratification, or things like the caste system in India that still very much impacts India today even thought it was abolished something like 80 years ago.

Instead of self censoring yourself or down playing the evidence because of your fear of Trump why not report the facts and also report on Trump's possible childish responses to those facts?

Artificial Intelligence is definitely a potential threat.  Something that can learn, evolve, and is self aware could easily get away from us especially  with the limitless computing power and information that would be available to it. Aliens on the other hand might abduct a few hundred people for study and general curiosity, but we wouldn't have any else to offer creatures that are capable of interstellar flight.  So if they're curious enough to visit they're unlikely to want to destroy us.  No different than scientists visiting the Galapagos islands. On this planet violence, genocide, and killing of creatures only comes through exploitation.  Whereas in the case of aliens we wouldn't have anything to offer.  Of course this doesn't rule out violence for cultural/religious reasons that we couldn't possibly understand. I just think that is less likely.

It is really pathetic when people try and look for any situation to try and "balance the equation" in their mind. "Crime" is not the issue. Hating and killing people because they are black and looking for justice IS the issue. Understand?

  5968. Girish Seshan Rich people and corporations give to charities to make themselves (and their employees) feel good as well as to make themselves look good (PR). Could a corporation or donor give large amounts to the Clinton Foundation to make themselves look good in front of the Clintons? Yes.... But there is a BIG difference between making yourself look good in front of powerful people vs. politicians being entirely dependent on a set of donors or corporations because they won't have a job next election (because they won't get campaign funds) or they won't have a job when they leave office because they're hoping to get a consulting or lobbying job by those same corporations. People somehow forget that the Clinton Foundation is a non-profit. It's not like the Clinton's are pocketing donations. They go out to charities, grants, and the costs of running the organization. It has fairly good overhead costs compared to other charities.
    1
  5969. Girish Seshan Yeah we do know.... It's not like the foundation doesn't keep records and there are organizations that specifically track charities: https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478 They give the foundation an "A" rating and say like 89% of the donations are given out to charities. A "non-profit" isn't allowed to just give Bill & Hillary money. Although Trump used his foundation in order to buy a 20K painting of himself and pretended that it was "charity". "Y would a country donate to the foundation knowing that the secretary has ties with it?" My guess is that a company or wealthy individual would give to the foundation because either it's easy, they get recognition (good PR) for it, or because they get to schmooze with powerful people at various parties and events.
    1
  5970. Girish Seshan I can't quite follow your comment. But again, the Clinton's are not getting money from their foundation. In fact they give some of their own money to the foundation. So they are not dependent on these donations that are used for charity and grants in the same way that a politician is dependent on campaign funds, because their job depends on it. Unless you want to say that somehow Hillary cares so much about flood victims and poor people (and other causes that the foundation supports) that she's willing to be corrupted because of it.

  5978. So in other words poverty started to grow again when we started getting away from the policies created under the Great Society.... Not sure what your point here is.  Of course poverty and inequality started growing again when we started lowering taxes and instituting laissez fair policies.
    1
  5979. People always resort to name calling when they completely clueless to history and facts...  The fact is that there was barely a middle class before the 30s.  The actual rise of what we call the ’middle class’ today came in the 40s, 50s and 60s. Which was also followed by a sharp decline in poverty and  income inequality.  At that time we had the highest taxes on the upper income bracket and instituted social security and Medicare. Furthermore there ARE laissez fair policies in many 3rd world countries around the world.  The reason they are still 3rd world countries is because there is a lot more to economics than the simplistic bullshit propaganda fed to you by people & organizations trying to keep themselves rich.
    1
  5980. Again,  the middle class experienced its largest growth in this nations history during the 40s, 50s, & 60s.  Not to mention a huge reduction of poverty.   None of your dancing around the issue is going to change basic facts.  tax loopholes doesn't change the fact that income inequality was low. The period that led to the roaring twenties and subsequent crash was a period of tax cuts, deregulation, and over speculation.  No different than the crash in 2006.  No different than the panics and recessions that happened many times before that.   If you're going to try and cherry pick one thing that fits your tiny narrative, then you cant ignore the 80 years since then which also included low interest rates. WW2 was the biggest government program in our nations history.  The government did more spending as a % of GDP and accumulated the most debt and had the highest taxes then any time before or since.   If you're trying to use that as an excuse for the prosperity we had during those years you picked a bad one...
    1
  5981. I'm talking about a reduction of poverty, inequality, and the growth of the middle class regardless of the great depression over the course of decades not a few years. Its pretty ironic that you falsely claim I'm comparing against the great depression when your claim of the "federal budget being slashed by 60%" is based purely on the fact that WW2 ended...  So of course spending dropped duh...   What is also disingenuous is that you ignore the fact that overall spending (as a % of GDP) was still far higher than it was prior to WW2...    So to pretend that budget cuts ended the depression is about as close to a lie as you can get.
    1
  5982. ***** And like I said we've had approximately 80 YEARS between the 29 crash and the 2007 crash where this country had periods of low interest rates at various points and no crash.   All of your ideological arguments fall apart when you actually pay attention to facts instead of finding excuses to fit a narrative.  President Coolidge cut taxes MANY times while in office, it was part of his platform.  It was his presidency that led to a huge growth in inequality, the roaring 20s and the subsequent crash of 29 which happened 8 months after he left office.  Extra money in the hands of the rich does little to stimulate the economy.  All it does is promote a gambling based economy (speculation) that produces bubbles, crashes, and higher prices.
    1
  5983. kathy kelly No your point is to misrepresent history.  Once again.... Spending after WW2 was still far higher than it was before WW2   In other words the federal government was spending MORE than it was during the New Deal.  So your assertions are clearly not based in reality. Tax rates, social security, GI Bill, labor laws that came out of strong unions, minimum wage, infrastructure projects, etc.  All of these things led to a thriving middle class that grew substantially in the 40s, 50s, & 60s.   Pretending it was imaginary cuts that created a middle class through "magic" is ridiculous.

  5984. I was talking about taxes, free trade, FIRE based economy, economic inequality, shrinking middle class, etc..  Price controls had absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about.... Funny how people who use the word "liberal" don't actually listen to arguments but rather make up their own straw men to argue against.
    1
  5985. Government has grown steadily since the inception of this country.  Meanwhile Income inequality has fluctuated depending on the policies and regulations. So the idea that growth of government correlates to inequality is completely false and absurd. While government was growing and while we had the highest upper income taxes in our history, the middle class grew considerably (40s, 50s, and 60s).  Inequality declined and reached it's lowest point in the  70s.  It started rising again in the 80s during a period of deregulation, free trade, and tax cuts, So the idea that growth of government correlates to inequality is completely false and absurd. Denmark, Sweden, and half a dozen other countries with much bigger governments (as a percentage of GDP) have far less inequality than we do. So the idea that growth of government correlates to inequality is completely false and absurd. We have the data that clearly shows you are wrong here.  So please stop perpetuating these false notions.  You are only spreading misinformation.

  5986. kathy kelly  1.  Your first comment doesn't make any sense.  You're simply grasping at straws to feed a failed "shrinking government" argument.   It's just as silly as saying brakes make a car go faster simply because they are occasionally used in a race. 2.  Once again.....  It is well established that the decline after 73 was caused by the energy crises.   So you simply ignore previous 3 decades and then pretend the energy crises didn't exist huh?  Wow.  Like I said in your world, "brakes make a car go faster".... 3. Again grasping at straws for "austerity" when there are literally hundreds of examples across the world in many countries of a government stimulus turning around an economy, but like I said in your world, "brakes make a car go faster".... 4. Again, look at the data.  Look at tax collections as a percentage of GDP.  The facts are in the data.  Stop misleading yourself and others because of an ideology. In my world the facts speak for themselves not the facts that I desire to be true.

  5988. kathy kelly 1.  Which only means you completely don't understand what "regulations" are....   The First & Second National bank of America where private institutions.  Just like the Fed. 2.   Red Herring fallacy...  Nothing of what you said alters the fact that it was the Energy Crises led to the economic problems in the 70s.   Nor does it change the policies that led to the biggest boom in our economy inthe 40s, 50s, & 60s.  (high upper income taxes, minimum wage, new deal, social security, public works, etc.) 2.   You said: "I don't deny that gov't stimulus makes the economy grow, but it is inevitable mal-investment by definition, since gov't is involuntary and markets are voluntary" In other words you acknowledge that "facts exist", but choose not to believe them because of your ideology.  This is the problem with our country today...   Too many people following their "gut" instead of the facts.  In the meantime there are REAL people dying of poverty or health issues because people like you choose to blindly follow a feel good narrative from a TV pundit instead of looking at the facts. 4.  We were talking about economic inequality.  High tax rates on the upper income bracket in the 30's, 40s, 50's, & 60's did in fact decrease inequality.  You can see this clearly in the data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2008_Top1percentUSA.png I already stated that revenue as a % of GDP has increased steadily since the beginning of this country.  Did you forget? The difference is that the distribution of that tax revenue and wealth changed with policy.  Corporate taxes has decreased enormously through many loopholes,  the high 70%-90% taxes on the upper income bracket were cut providing an incentive for CEOs to take money out of companies as bonuses instead of leaving it in.  So all that wealth suddenly shifted to the upper 1% after Reagan.  The lack of tariffs, free trade laws, union busting, and not enforcing antitrust laws since the 80s also killed the middle class.
    1
  5989. kathy kelly   1.  Clearly you have no idea how the Fed works, nor the history.  Ummm.... the IRS has nothing to do with the Fed....   The Fed is a private institution.  It was created by bankers for banks in a private meeting on Jekyll Island.   Why do you think the "audit the Fed" bill proposed by Alan Grayson & Ron Paul in 2010 had to be passed for the government to even know what the Fed was doing?  Because the Government has very little control over what the Fed does and little knowledge about it. Because you don't  understanding these nuances means you have no clue what the "cartel" is or where the real power lies....  Which is exactly how people become gullible tools. 2.  I've already explained this over and over....   The reason the middle class and inequality declined starting in the 80s was because of.  Tax cuts on the upper income tax brackets, free trade policies, union busting, not enforcing Antitrust laws, deregulation of the financial sector.  All of these policy changes started with Reagan and continued till the crash. I'm sorry, but If your answer is to simply "ignore data" then you are part of the problem and there is no point.  Whatever corruption you see in government all stems from the "profit motive".  That same motivation is behind the cartels in Mexico, created several central banks, and kept slavery in place for decades when it became illegal in all other western countries. That motivation is also funding the propaganda telling you that somehow if the people who get rich by taking advantage of others and the system were "left alone" that somehow things would magically work itself out.   Of course the data doesn't support this at all, in any country, or at any time.  Yet somehow this makes sense to you to the point where you will abandon all facts and reason because you've been sold on this over simplistic narrative of a "free market" which is nothing more than a pure fantasy.

  5995. PinuyashaRPG Somehow you think that criticizing a few in Islam vs. blaming all of Islam is the same as "excused from criticism".  I don't follow your logic.   Other than racists and anti-Semites who exactly criticizes all Blacks,Asians, and Jews as a whole?

  5996. PinuyashaRPG  China is a government, we don't criticize all Chinese people.... We criticize Israel, we don't criticize all Jews.  We criticize Iran, we don't criticize all Iranians. We criticize the US government we don't criticize all Americans.  Boondocks is comedy... There are Muslim comedy shows believe or not. Surely you know the difference between criticizing a government and it's policies vs. deciding that an entire race or group of people is guilty?

  5997. PinuyashaRPG  There are fanatics and extremists everywhere who make irrational claims. Israeli lobby groups and fanatics can claim that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic.  That doesn't make it true. However criticism of all Jews would be anti-Semitic. Many extremists in the US government also called critics of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan "unpatriotic".  That doesn't make it true either, it's just an extremist or fanatical position.   Again, there are lots of Muslim comedies.  Try a google search....   Just because you haven't seen a Muslim comedy doesn't mean they don't exist.  Muslims make up less than 1% of the population in the US compared to blacks who make up something like 13% so it makes sense that there would be more programming catered towards a much larger minority.   It also makes it easier for a lot of Americans to be bigoted towards Muslims because most people don't know any.  Just like when Jews made up less than 1% of the population during Nazi Germany.  There are much larger muslim populations in Canada and the UK which is why they have Muslim sitcoms. However you can find plenty of examples of Muslim defamation comedy in the US by just watching old episodes of the Daily Show.  They hired a guy specifically for the purpose of making Middle-eastern and Islamic jokes

  6011. Martine It all depends on the extent of the tampering, we have no idea at the moment. If there was in fact tampering with voting machines in key states then that would be a big deal. However in my mind Electoral College makes all elections illegitimate, we should have gotten rid of that thing a long time ago. The fact that the election comes down to a few "swing states" is antithetical to democracy. Every vote should matter. Period.

  6012. Martine I'd take both actually, proportional representation as well as getting rid of the electoral college. Other countries were able to see the system we created and improve upon it. Although our government was designed to be improved over time, most people see the current constitution and system as dogma. So without something drastic happening I doubt much will happen to change it.

    1
  6016. MrCrackkills Again....  I said please provide any policy advocating sharia law proposed by any liberal.  Yes religious kooks are always proposing laws advocating their religion. We have religious kooks in this country constantly advocating laws based on biblical law or their religious interpretation of their biblical laws. In fact we still have some of these laws on the books in some states: https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleI/Chapter272/Section36 "Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavi/or." Now of course these laws are not enforced and many such laws have been challenged and removed because of separation of church and state.  However you cannot deny that many Christians (and politicians) today are advocating that separation of church and state should not exist.  Which is about as close to "sharia law" as you can get.  The point is that NONE of these people advocating this kind of nonsense are "liberal".  In fact they are the opposite of liberal/progressive.  So the OP pretending as if liberals have anything to do with "sharia law" is absurd.

  6017. Ironic how these guys keep saying "Read the constitution" while completely ignoring the part of the 2nd amendment which describes EXACTLY what the second amendment is for. Which says: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State". In other words this was at s time when we didn't have standing armies. There was no Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, etc. States were providing there own security through local militias. Although many would argue that the main purpose of these militias was to keep slaves under control... The point is the 2nd amendment was written for the purpose of state controlled "well regulated" militias. It wasn't for guys to run around with their dicks in their hand, shooting up shit, and threatening people they didn't like.

  6018. Personally I have a problem with charging people simply because they are rich... There have been many cases of people inadvertently mixing medication with alcohol when they shouldn't on flights.  There have been many cases of planes having to land for various passenger reasons.  If you're not going to charge everyone 40K then why charge Ralph Lauren's niece simply because you think she has money?
    1
  6019. chemistryrulesall That's why we have progressive taxation....   I guess the disagreement here is whether there should be any "punishment" involved.  It's not the job of an airline to issue punishments based on income.  They are not a criminal justice system and that would be illegal.  The airline or the passengers are within their right to file a civil suit against her if they wanted to  However in that case the only reason they would do so is because they thing she is rich and they could "get something out of her" and I think that mindset is morally reprehensible.  If this was a story about a poor woman who had a mental break down because she mixed alcohol with her medication we wouldn't even be having a conversation about "punitive action" . Planes land all the time because of medical emergencies and it's called "sad day for you" if you happen to be a passenger on that flight.  A lot of people are afraid to fly and turn to alcohol to get over that fear.  If her actions were "assault" then she should be arrested just like anyone would be, but there is no justification for "punitive action" just because you think the person is rich.   Also she was flying coach, just because a member of your family is rich doesn't mean you are.
    1
  6020. chemistryrulesall  I also think that our taxes are not progressive enough.  I also understand how punitive damages work.  I also understand that inequality is the biggest issue in this country. However what you fail to see are that those  things are not related to this story....  If you're going to conflate tax legislation, inequality, and your personal feelings about "the rich" as an excuse to punish this particular woman in this particular situation then you are no longer making objective arguments you are going on a crusade. As I said if she is guilty of assault then she should be charged/prosecuted accordingly and if she has a medical condition she should be treated for it.  However beyond that I don't see what her supposed "wealth" has to do with anything.
    1
  6021. chemistryrulesall Again, you are discussing financial "punishment" when there is absolutely no context for it in this story.  What "fining system" are you referring to and "more fair" compared to what?  Who exactly is issuing the "fine" and why?   Until you can answer those questions then your train of thought doesn't make sense here at all. 
    1
  6022. chemistryrulesall Thousands of people get out on bail every single day and the majority of those people are not even remotely wealthy.   The people who cannot afford bail or bond are the extreme poor.  However if your point is that there are people who are very poor that get the short end of the stick then I don't see what that has to do with this story... I don't see any special treatment in this story between this woman or a middle class woman.  Apparently she was arrested and got out on bail. Which like I said, happens to thousands of people every single day. To me it looks to be more of an attempt to demonize someone simply because they may be rich and look for more punitive actions.   All over the world people act up and get arrested every day for getting drunk and then shoving someone or acting aggressive.  I don't think that their lives need to be ruined over it.   I also don't know the nature of the "fines" here or the Irish law being applied.  So who knows whether the fine was punitive or if she was simply compensating for legal fees.  In the US lawyers go for compensation and punitive damages in a civil suit, which is a completely different situation. As suggested in this clip. statistically there could be more consequences if it was a large black male shoving a stewardess rather than a white woman being aggressive.  So I don't think this is a story about someone being rich at all.  However for some reason this has become about general vitriol against "rich people" and how they should be punished more.  It seems like there is a desire to pick up pitchforks and torches whenever there may be a rich person involved and I think that thought process is irrational and dangerous...

  6023. chemistryrulesall  Look at this statement: "Why you're so quick to defend the privileged elite class in our society living by a different set of rules, I don't know." If you replaced "privileged elite class" with "Blacks" or "Jews" then you can see how ugly that statement can look. I'm not defending anyone, I'm simply questioning the idea that she somehow deserves more punishment.  Especially when that idea is not based on comparing similar charges or similar situations, its based ONLY on the idea that we think she is rich (even though she was flying coach). Again, I don't know the nature of the "fines" here.  You're assuming they were punitive and I'm not sure they were.  However even if the fines were punitive are you suggesting that every parking ticket, traffic violation, etc. be based on percentage of income?  Should the government get a your tax returns and decide every fine based on what you filed last year? Personally I care more about the result than anything.  In my world if this is a first offense and you made a legitimate error (mixing alcohol with your meds) and you sincerely apologize for it, then what exactly are we after? Punishment for punishment's sake?
    1
  6024. chemistryrulesall What evidence do you have that she received any special treatment?  She was charged just like anyone else would be.   Again there is this assumption that just because she might be rich that she must have received special treatment without presenting any evidence what so ever.  The rest are hypotheticals.  Again, why is their a debate/discussion when there is absolutely no evidence of special treatment? Yes there are definite racial/gender inequalities in the system when it comes to  arrests, convictions, and sentences. However the thing that I have a problem with is this  presumption of guilt, special treatment, and condemnation with absolutely no evidence other than the idea that she might be rich.  It really sounds like nothing more than prejudice.

  6025. chemistryrulesall  The fact is my original comment and subsequent comments was about this video.  So if we're not talking about this video then I really don't know what we're discussing.

One of Bernie's goals was to have the party and the eventual candidate to embrace the progressive polices that he's been laying out for years. He's pretty much accomplished that. He wasn't just running to win, but people seem to forget that. If you think the revolution is gone then you can only blame yourself for being apathetic just because your candidate didn't win.

  6033. Establishing a country based on a specific ethnicity and religion is a dumb idea...  By it's very nature you're promoting apartheid and racism. You would think Israelis would have learned this lesson from Nazi Germany, but nooooo....  They thought "Hey, we want some of that too".   The US was established as a secular nation, but with many ethnic and gender divisions which lead to the subjugation of women and the deaths of millions of African slaves and Native Americans however after many bloody wars and many laws passed we were able to get past a large part of that dark history (even though the socio-economic ramifications of that are still very present today).  So you would think the US would have learned it's lesson from it's past and not give billions in aid and weaponry for the sole purpose of supporting constant violence based on ethnic and religious divisions, but noooo....  It's time we END TRIBALISM.  It's time we recognize that a system that has to support itself through constant war and violence does not work...  The US should not be giving a single weapon to any nation supporting a broken system and should only support nations based on secularism and inclusion.

That's why she was elected. She then proceeded to implement and fight hard for those policies after she was elected, this is why she has credibility. This guy is just running on the "I'm butt hurt that Sanders didn't win" ticket. Even though Warren didn't endorse Sanders in the primary he would never endorse this guy over Warren because he understands that there are much bigger issues than a single endorsement.

  6036. Sorry TYT....  WTF does being "opposite" have to do with being best friends?  Those two things are not mutually exclusive and being "opposite" is somewhat of a sliding scale. You can be opposite on the outside and share many common values on the inside.  I think the point is that whatever relationship you're in you need to make sure it is complementary.  Sometimes someone who's outgoing can be grounded by someone who's reserved and someone who's shy can handle social situations much better with someone who's outgoing.  As long as one person isn't being a burden to the other those relationships can be great.

  6037. It basically means that like most, she like money.... Sure she hasn't given all the paid speeches that Bill and Hillary have, but at the same time it's not like she has ever gotten the offer either. Let's see what happens if like the Clintons, she enters office, her universal healthcare proposal get ridiculed, she becomes the target of the GOP, gets subjected to multiple scandals, and she gets financially in the red due to legal bills after leaving office. Let's see if she wouldn't do a speech or two.... All I'm saying is that if you have a few million, you could easily fund lots of green and socially responsible startup companies. Sure it's a bit more risky than a mutual fund, but it would allow you to directly impact the change you want to see in the world. Although it doesn't seem like she's willing to risk her own money or put her money where her mouth is.

  6044. I honestly don't get why this is hard to understand.... Let me break it down for you guys: 1. When you leak emails from one candidate and one party and not the other you create a scandal about one candidate and one party, while giving a pass to the other party and candidate. Therefore skewing the election in favor of the other candidate and party. 2. The fact is there was RAMPANT corruption in the RNC especially to prevent Trump from being the nominee. However all that was ignored because suddenly everyone was talking about the Hillary Campaign and DNC emails. Do you honestly think that the Trump campaign and the RNC were perfect angels? The GOP establishment were pretty much planning to steal the nomination away from Trump and appoint Mitt Romney or another candidate who was not democratically selected. There were also a lot of outright illegal things going on in the Trump campaign itself. Those stories were completely ignored because the idea of "leaked emails" gave people a raging boner. The fact that we're STILL talking about leaked emails with all the shit that Trump is doing is fucking sad.... 3. It may be hard to wrap you head around this, but you can be against party corruption, establishment politics, AS WELL AS not want a foreign government manipulating our elections. Shocking I know. But it's true. There are actually people outraged by both of these things and talking about one doesn't somehow mean you don't care about the other. 4. Anyone who thinks that bitching about Hillary for the next 3 years is going to win the next election is making a stupid stupid idiotic mistake.... All you're doing is making Trump look better by doing so. Instead of bitching about Hillary and re-litigating 2016 and "leaked emails" over and over again we need to bitch about Trump, the GOP Establishment while at the same time pushing those candidates and ideas that will make a real difference. If you make the entire movement about Hillary's failure and leaked emails we're not going to win shit.

Just because people want an investigation, doesn't somehow mean they want war with Russia. Again, See #3. Classic "False Choice" fallacy. -"is it a coincidence that she lost in the states she refused to campaign in? Her emails clearly states that the DNC and the media should push Trump as a pied piper candidate. Was she a Russian agent?" No one ever said that Hillary ran a perfect or even a good campaign... Again, See #3. Pointing out one problem doesn't magically mean that other problems didn't exist. Again, classic "False Choice" fallacy. Stop with this idiotic black and white thinking already. I'm sick of this bullshit discourse. If all you want to do is believe that people who want a thorough investigation somehow think that Hillary was perfect and we should bomb Russia then I'm sorry but you're being manipulated by a very stupid narrative. I haven't given a shit about Hillary since 2016. The only people who keep bringing her up as if she has ANY sort of relevance today are people like you pushing this stupid narrative. In case you didn't realize it there is a whole new administration with actual power who is set to have killed more civilians in his 1st year than Obama has in the entire 8 years he was in office. With cronyism to his donors, family, Goldman Sachs executives, & Exon Mobile, on a whole new level. We are ramping up spending to the military while being on the verge of war with North Korea and all you can do is sit here and talk about fucking Hillary.....

This is the classic "October Surprise" and there were indications that wikileaks had this information LONG AGO.... Clearly someone is trying to manipulate the election. I know Hillary blames the Russians, which seems crazy, but at the same time it's clear that Assange has an agenda. Look I'm all for whistle blowing, but what I'm not okay with is ONE GUY or even a few guys deciding on their own to sit on information for the sole purpose of manipulating an election. Especially when that guy is not even a US citizen.... I don't care if the information helps Hillary or hurts her. There is something wrong with that. Once you get the information RELEASE IT, don't use it for your own personal grudges. It used to be that wikileaks was about exposing atrocities and injustice which was great, but lately it sees to be just "hey, lets embarrass these people by exposing their private emails and conversations". Really? I'm starting to lose respect for wikileaks these days.

  6064. The right response would have been. "Yes Putin has done many horrible things. That is not how you run a free country, however the US is also not so innocent and we have our own issues to work on". The way Trump phrased it is that he's making excuses for authoritarianism not condemning it.

They are not going to take that money to hire people just to sit around.

  6067. boe diggy Getting a tax cut without conditions does nothing but shift the tax burden from corporations to you (as it has been doing for 60 years) and does nothing to keep jobs here. Corporations will get a tax break AND ship jobs overseas because it makes them more money to do so. What? did you think that corporations will do something nice if given a tax break? LOL... Of course not. In fact Carrier still plans on sending hundreds of jobs to Mexico and closing one of it's factories, but guess what? you fell for the publicity stunt. The democrats proposed a bill in 2014 to block companies who ship jobs overseas from getting certain tax breaks. However the republicans blocked it. If you think that this house and this republican senate is going to do anything that isn't pro-corporation and pro rich regardless of whether it positively effects workers or not. You're sadly mistaken.
    1
  6068. boe diggy There is no such deal.... Again you've been duped. Congress cannot somehow make a tax law targeting a single company. Tax cuts will be across the board and it will suck billions out of the economy and explode the deficit. Carrier has absolutely no incentive to not ship jobs out in the future and like I said they are already shipping out jobs to Mexico from a different plant.

  6071. kathy kelly I seriously don't know how you people that listen to nothing but propaganda and stupid theories to support an even dumber ideology even live with yourselves.... http://www.gunfaq.org/2013/04/aurora-and-the-gun-free-zone-theory/ "It’s commonly asserted that James Holmes choose the only posted “gun free” theater in a 20-mile radius, bypassing targets both closer and larger. In reality, Holmes bypassed the Cinema Latino de Aurora, a small complex dedicated to serving the area’s Hispanic audience. It shows Spanish movies, and English movies with subtitles. Holmes, needless to say, was not Hispanic. Holmes also ignored the Harkins, the largest theater in the area, due to the lack of privacy it would have provided. The Harkins is located in the middle of an open-air mall, with restaurants, shops, and bars to all sides. Which leaves the Cinemark Century 16, 3.6 miles away, and the closest “megaplex” to his apartment. It was known. it was secluded. It was perfect."

  6081. Joseph F 1. People DO care when a "black guy kills another black guy".  Why on earth would you think they don't?  2.  I already gave you the reasons why this case and similar cases are getting attention.  It's because of the issues in the FL legal system and how the stand your ground laws and similar laws that are creating a shoot first culture that is effecting the lives of a LOT of people. If you don't understand those issues and all you see is a "white guy killing a black guy" then I'm sorry, that is really sad.  You need to expand your mind beyond simply seeing a white or black dude being talked about on TV. Someone who can't see anything beyond race is a racist. I really don't see how you can't get a more accurate description than that.   The fact is there are thousands of stories where  white people killed black people or vice versa  that don't get talked about because race BY ITSELF is not the issue. If you think the reasons people find this story important are invalid then feel free to argue against those reasons.  However if you come here saying that the ONLY issue for you is race then don't be surprised if people think you're a racist.

  6084. It's not the wrong argument if it's true Kyle. You're floundering here.... It's funny how you accuse Clinton of corruption with zero evidence other than people giving money to a fucking charity, yet you cannot believe this narrative of Trump and Russia when there is now a mountain of evidence and connections? People who ran Trump's campaign had direct ties to the Kremlin and Russian intelligence, he repeated Russian propaganda on the campaign trail, Russian officials were openly celebrating his victory, we still can't see his tax returns and just how much he's invested in Russian businesses and what ties those companies have to. Russia Today is practically up Trump's ass running full propaganda on behalf of Trump now. Something they never did for Bush or Obama. Not to mention all the intelligence agencies pretty much affirming this. Even foreign newspapers are treating this as a real story. It's ridiculous for you to pretend that there is nothing there at this point when all you needed for Clinton was a donation to a fucking CHARITY. No one is saying that we should bomb Russia or anything, but to brush it off without a thorough investigation is completely INSANE.
    1
  6085. filosofoeduardo Classic appeal to authority fallacy. You pretend as if the Trump didn't have former and current members of his campaign with ties to the Russian government. You pretend as if Trump didn't repeat Russian propaganda while he was campaigning. You pretend as if Trump didn't just appoint the former CEO of Exxon mobile as secretary of state who got a "Friendship award" from Russia and previously worked on a half a trillion dollar fossil fuel deal in Russia that was halted after the US sanctions on Russia. The same sanctions that Michael Flynn was talking about would be lifted under Trump. This isn't just speculation from intelligence agencies, these are facts. Even if you decide to ignore the FBI investigations going on right now into the hacks and election tampering by Russia you would have to be out of your damn mind at this point to ignore the facts of what we already know.. The GOP isn't even defending Trump on this because many people in Congress also suspect that there could be something there. Bernie Sanders is also calling for an investigation into this matter BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.... Sorry, but sticking your head in the sand and pretending nothing is there is not the answer. You guys were quick to jump on Hillary Clinton with zero evidence other than people giving money to their charity, because you have so much irrational hate over Hillary that you can't even see straight, yet you have your blinders on with Trump when the facts are right there in your damn face.

To say that anyone thinking about using such a device is "just being a dick" is a bit narrow minded. I would say anyone willing to crush someone's kneecap for an hour just so they can recline a few inches is also "being a dick", although most people are completely unaware of what might happen if the recline.

  6088. I never wanted her in prison. I thought she was a stupid choice for nominee because of the possibility of an indictment. Cenk felt the same. Somehow that sentiment has translated into a mob mentality of "Jail Hillary!" I've supported Bernie for president for years, long before people even knew who he was. However the hysteria and vitriolic hate over Hillary is amazing. None of it is rational and most of it is based on speculation. Yeah I would much prefer Bernie, but I'm not losing my shit over Hillary as president.
    1
  6089. Thomas Fisher Sorry, but if you think that someone needs to go to jail because of speculation in the media then you are irrational. You send people to prison when there is actual evidence of a crime, a case, and trial. No the FBI director DID NOT say that she broke any laws, he said that her and her staff were careless in handling of these emails but there was no purposeful violation of the law and there was nothing to prosecute and no prosecutor would ever make a case with what they had. If you're so sure that she broke a law that deserves prison. Then tell me the exact law she broke and the evidence that she broke that law. If you can't do that then YOU ARE BEING IRRATIONAL. Your entire premise is based on thinking there is a crime without knowing the actual crime. It's absurd.
    1
  6090. Thomas Fisher Having bad IT is not a criminal offense. Negligence is not a felony unless it is extreme and there is intent. As Comey said repeatedly, there was no criminal intent even if the information was handled carelessly. Simply repeating the facts over the email scandal that we already know doesn't somehow change that fact that there was nothing prosecutable You seem to have trouble distinguishing between "things you don't like" vs. actual "felonies". The fact that the DNC was bias towards Hillary is also not a criminal offense. You do realize that political parties are basically private clubs. There is no provision for parties in the constitution. Bias for a candidate in a political party is not a jail-able offense. Again, you're not talking specific laws you're just ranting about "stuff you don't like" none of which points to any specific felonies that Hillary committed.
    1
  6091. Thomas Fisher Well no one was killed and no classified data was leaked. So WTF are you talking about? What exactly are you trying to resolve? Are you saying that no one in government has never mishandled classified documents before? Of course they have. It happens all the time. It doesn't mean jail time every time it happens.
    1
  6092. Daniel Delos Based on Comey's statement he said that the deleted emails were deleted as part of normal email use. Just like you might delete emails after you've read them. However the server that they were using didn't have backups. I certainly doubt that Clinton is an IT expert and probably doesn't even know the first thing about digital protocols. She basically copied what other people did (like Cheney). She may have lied or maybe she didn't know. Do you know every single thing in your emails for the past 5 years? Probably not. The point is there are a lot of people jumping to conclusions, but they don't even know what those conclusions are. Everyone feels in their gut that she should be in jail but can't even put their finger on exactly why. All I'm saying is that there isn't any evidence for assuming she should be in prison. A lot of it just comes from people hating her (for some reason) and wanting to believe she's doing something evil.
    1
  6093. Thomas Fisher She didn't personally rig anything. The DNC was bias towards Hillary, that is clear. However there was never any personal involvement of her with any "rigging"
    1
  6094. Thomas Fisher It's not like she was under oath and you're going to have a tough time proving that she purposely lied about a few emails out of thousands. The email scandal is already on record. It's pretty much in the history books forever and it almost cost her the election. Well I don't see that she did a river dance all over democracy, lol.... I see that we live in a flawed system where celebrity and name recognition gets you places. It's amazing that Bernie was able to get as far as he did when no one knew who he was, but the reality is people (especially older voters) are just more familiar with the Clinton name. Also the DNC is more favorable to her because she's part of the same circles whereas Bernie was always an outsider. Trump won the GOP nomination for similar reasons, he was a celebrity. It sucks, but that's just how it is. Ideas mean s lot less than your "brand". If anything I'm more pissed off at the people for not being informed and educated on the issues. However I don't blame Hillary for wanting to be president. Also if you're Hillary and being president is something that you've dreamed about since you were a kid would you really hate it if the DNC was more favorable/friendly towards you? Probably not. You would probably just shut up and take whatever advantage that was given to you. I don't think anything was malicious I just think people in the DNC were friends with Hillary so therefore wanted her to win. You can't escape human nature. If we really want true democracy we have to create a system where the population can be easily educated on the issues and the facts behind those issues. We need a culture of science instead of gut feelings. I also think we should get rid of parties, because they promote collusion and tribalism by their very nature. There is always going to be collusion in the DNC/RNC

  6095. Daniel Delos As someone who has multiple email accounts (a couple for work and one for personal). I know how easy it is to use the wrong account for the wrong correspondence. Especially when it comes to people that I'm friends with and work with on occasion. A conversation can start out personal and end up work related or vice versa. Again, I wouldn't remember a hundred emails out of tens of thousands. Have I ever used my personal account when I shouldn't have? Yup. Do I remember every time that happened over 5 years? Nope. For example, I once emailed a client of mine at her personal email address for about a month. It was all because she emailed me once from her phone and it defaulted to her personal account and when I would email her back my email program then kept defaulting to that personal account. She got pretty annoyed with me until I changed it, but during that month there were a lot of emails to and from her personal account that shouldn't have gone there. It's very easy to switch email accounts and not know which one you're using at times. Yeah like I said, the system is flawed. It's always going elevate people like Hillary or Trump. It's always going to favor people with money as long as money is what controls our society.
    1
  6096. Thomas Fisher Not apologizing for anything. As I said both the DNC and RNC are private parties. Technically they don't have an obligation to do anything. It wasn't very long ago that the candidates were simply chosen instead of actually voted for. Not to mention that even when they were elected they left things like super-delegates. Even the RNC has provisions to override the vote if they wanted to. Again this is the system we have and parties by their nature encourage collusion. You call it a conspiracy, but the whole purpose of parties is to collude in a way that get's their team elected. Other than the thing with Bill Clinton showing up the at the polls (which was bullshit). What rules has she broken exactly?
    1
  6097. Daniel Delos I did read your comment and it was clear that you were bringing a personal angle into it. So a right wing trash blog counts as legal counsel now? So you're seriously saying that a right wing trash blog knows more about prosecuting these cases than the director of the FBI and the people working for him? You are seriously reaching here. Give me specific cases where someone was put in jail for accidentally using their private email for classified communication, because that's the absurd argument you're making here. That because her IT was insecure, she deserves to be in prison. Sorry, but it's ridiculous. Comey's statement is analogous to not getting a raise at work, getting your pay docked, or being put on leave. It's not calling for prison by any stretch. And getting punished at a job you already left is not something that normally happens. Again, she is no different than any other politician in regard to public private positions, corporate influences. If you find her "despicable", you should also find Obama and hundreds of other politicians "despicable". However for whatever reason this hatred is concentrated on Hillary. People seriously need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that these are symptoms of a system not an individual.

  6101. Not sure why you would blame Hillary voters, did you expect everyone to just vote for Trump during the election? No, the reason we're in this mess is because people let their blind hatred of Hillary put Trump in the white house. Hillary wasn't calling for ground troops in Syria, Trump was. Hillary wasn't calling to expand the drone program to include taking out the families of extremist, Trump was. Hillary wasn't suggesting that we increase our military spending by 10%, Trump did. Were you actually naive enough to think increasing our Military Industrial Complex by 10% would somehow lead to less war? Oh but Clinton saying mean things about Putin son the campaign trail somehow automatically means WW3. You guys are the very definition of blind hysteria.
    1
  6102. Right... Keep telling yourself that. Keep believing that pointing out the fact that Assad a brutal dictator is the same as starting ww3. Keep holding onto the fantasy that Trump blundering his way through Syria/ISIS is better than someone who actually understands the situation and knows WTF they're doing. Obama also said bad things about Kim Jung Un and the US has an ongoing military presence there. At the same time the US is one of North Korea's top sources for food aid to it's people. The thing you people don't realize is that there is such a thing as "nuance", just because you talk tough to a leader in public doesn't somehow mean you plan on bombing them tomorrow. Most of the time tough talk is just a way to get people to negotiate with you. However if your actual policy is to increase military spending and nuclear weapons then what do you thinks gonna happen?

  6104. It was a different story a long time ago Kyle... 3 months ago I would have put Trump at 50/50 and even a slight favorite. 2 months ago. Hillary was the clear favorite depending on the indictment. Once that wasn't going to happen it was pretty clear that Trump had no chance.... Sorry but Clinton's campaign machine is just way to strong and Trump has absolutely no idea what he's doing. You thought Trump had a chance because of the RNC bump? LOL... Trump will get destroyed based on his tax returns (or lack thereof) alone. Hillary may be a weak candidate, but you're kidding yourself by underestimating the amount of resources Clinton has at her disposal. She will destroy Trump in the debates just on the amount of dirt her campaign will dig up on him.

  6106. @Firelord Eliteast67 I wrote this many years ago so I don't remember the exact context, but money hasn't "always" existed nor has it always been as important as it is today. Nor has cattle or gold ever been a direct analog for money until recent history. Some people in some societies may have used cattle for trade and status, however most people reared animals to provide for themselves and their families. Also when you talk about money giving people status, power, and subsistence it is always about "degrees". For example in an unequal society, money has far more ability to give people power and status. However in an egalitarian society where money has less of an influence, then it is much less so. There are also degrees when it comes to subsistence. For example if you are poor and homeless in say Nicaragua or Costa Rica, you're not starving because you can gather wild fruits/plants and capture wild animals to survive on. However in the US and most other developed countries it is a different story. It requires special programs to make up for it. In other words we have to move money around and rely on charity and volunteers in order make up for the fact that our systems don't automatically provide for basic needs. While at the same time almost half the food we produce in this country ends up in landfills.

  6108. Hillary will definitely go for the jugular during the debates. She's not shy about jumping in the mud. Quote me now.... Trump's tax returns will be the end of him. By not releasing his tax returns Trump gave Hillary the best defense she will have against her own corruption that she could ever hope to have. Either way this will probably go down as one of the dirtiest election that we've had in this country in a very long time.

Perhaps painting Trump as illegitimate is not a bad thing politically. 2. In my mind Trump is an illegitimate president simply because he lost the popular vote. In my mind any one winning by losing the most votes should automatically trigger recounts and re-elections. No country can call themselves a democracy by electing people who don't actually represent the most people.

  6118. highschoolpicker getrost Comey used to work for a Lockheed Martin who gave money to the Clinton Foundation 2010. I fail to see how a former employee is willing to end his career by purposely throwing an investigation into Hillary just because a company he used to work for gave to the Clinton Foundation. Thinking that Clinton is guilty of a jail-able offense, without evidence as well as thinking that the FBI somehow brought forth an investigation into Clinton only to create a vast conspiracy to cover up a crime, also without evidence, is nothing more than irrational thinking. When you start to create conclusions from nothing and create motivation out of loose associations then you really need to question your thought process.

  6119. Seraphim190 Yet there is no actual evidence of a crime. Let alone a trial or sentencing. Which is what people have been telling you.... If you say that all you were doing was pointing out the obvious, then I'm not sure what the purpose of your comment was. Although technically breaking a law doesn't automatically mean jail. It depends on the laws being broken, trail, jury, and sentencing. I've never heard of anyone going to jail for being "not careful" with classified information.

    1
  6122. wiiztec Sorry, people aren't "proven guilty" in this country unless there is a trial and a conviction. What Comey actually said was that there was nothing to prosecute. Which there wasn't. Can you can name a single person in the history of this country who was ever put in jail for not handling classified information properly or having "bad IT". Yet somehow all of you have been brainwashed and suckered into believing that this is a jail-able offense. It isn't... Selling classified information is different than storing it somewhere that is insecure. Just like making a mistake that could cause your company to lose money is different than embezzling money from your company. Just like accidentally killing a pedestrian that runs into the road is different than running over your neighbor because he pissed you off. Yes, Intent DOES matter. It is not somehow "new" in the law. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE LAW. However what Comey, a republican from the Bush administration, did was try to make Clinton look bad in the press by making the statements that he did even though they had nothing. Which obviously worked because people like you just blindly swallowed it up. Then Comey tried to manipulate the election again by making a statement 10 days before the election that there are new emails that they can look at. Not any new evidence, just new emails that they can read which may very well be the same emails they've already looked at.

  6130. I think you're underestimating Cruz and overestimating the electorate. So I guess I agree with Cenk. Cruz may be smarmy but he's is a really smart politician and knows how to hold his own in a debate. The electorate has fallen for bullshit like this for many decades and they will fall for it again. Cruz is unlikeable, but I would argue that he is not nearly as unlikable and polarizing as Trump. There are many who would settle for Cruz in the GOP, but there are many on the left and right who would not vote for Trump in any circumstance. This gives Cruz an advantage to swing moderate voters even if it's fake.

Already said that the Major looks half Asian, whereas the rest of the characters in Ghost in the Shell look far more European.   If you're telling me that they don't then you don't have eyes. If you look at all the people who cosplay the Major you can clearly see that the ones who are Asian look just as "off" as the ones who are non-asian, because the character is clearly not meant to appear as a specific race.

  6135. When you care more about "double standards" than actual harm or injustice to people then you've reached a new level of absurdity. You remember that story of teacher Mary Kay Letourneau? Well they've been married with children for ten years now. The fact is people do mature at different ages. I'd much rather have a judge use common sense then to throw people in jail indiscriminately, ruining the rest of their lives for simply getting into a relationship.... Ruining people's lives just because it feels good TO YOU that every case looks completely equal because of some warped ideas on feminism or gender equality, regardless of harm or injustice, seems completely stupid.

It takes TWO YEARS to vet these people and less than 2% admitted are single combat age males. Why do you think there is a problem with the current screening process?  Because you have no clue what it is.  You're just mindlessly fear mongering over something you don't know shit about.

  6171. The thing about "criticizing Islam" is entirely dependent on how generic the criticisms are. If you're saying "Islam and Muslims are bad" or "Islam needs to fix this problem" or "we need to put a ban on religion or religious people" then you're being entirely too vague and bigoted. Nearly all mass shootings are committed by young males so it would be just as ridiculous to make those same generic statements about young males. Now if you say "Wahhabism is bad" or "ISIS is bad" or that religion has no business condemning gay people, then I'm right there with you, but isn't that what we do anyway? I think there is a tendency of confusing and conflating someone arguing against generic arguments and statements against religion and defending all religion. It's the difference between being politically correct and just correct. We can talk about the gun issue and be nuanced about which laws and regulations need to be enacted, yet when it comes to "the other", whether that is Muslims, Mexicans, Gay people, Transgender People. etc. Then tribalism kicks in and we lose our minds. We don't make those same arguments with Jews, Christians, blacks, and people that we know, we only do it to "the other".

  6187.  @loweedwards7807  You should know that is not true. Please do 2 minutes of research like I did. Instead of just making assumptions. If you did you wouldn't be wasting my time here. You can just Google: "applications of pure aluminum"

  6188.  @loweedwards7807  It does exist, aluminum is used for many other things besides "structure". Please stop wasting my time. You clearly did not do the bare minimum of Googling. Pure aluminum has NUMEROUS electrical applications. Even Aluminum foil is 98.5% aluminum. Clearly you have no interest in informing yourself one bit. I have zero respect for people who just want to go around being ignorant just so they can have faith in a fantastical explanation.

  6189. ​ @loweedwards7807  Ultra pure aluminum (99.9999%) is used to shield wires, actual wires, connectors, batteries, semiconductors, shielding, catalytic converters, and numerous other applications. Again, stop pretending pure aluminum isn't used and doesn't have applications when it does
    1
  6190.  @loweedwards7807  Again, pure aluminum is used for wires, shielding, batteries, and in pcbs. Did I say it was used as much as copper? No. Did I say it was used in all batteries? No. But just like your first comment you create a straw man based on a claim that was never made. Also, once again you're randomly talking about battery terminals, specifically car batteries, which is just insane to me. There MANY types of batteries in the world beyond what you get from an auto parts store. And high purity aluminum busbars are a thing.
    1
  6191.  @loweedwards7807  Okay, just another source for pure aluminum. It's only a few millimeters. Even if it was just a coating, something like that have shrunk deformed and delaminated from something else in a fire or crash or even after just sitting around and being weathered by the elements. It could have come from anywhere.

Jeez dude you're only making yourself look bad. Again, pure aluminum is used in wires, components, PCB traces, busbars, shielding, and has many different applications. That doesn't mean it is used in PCs, all PCBs, all electric components, or car batteries. Just keep repeating the same straw man. That'll work, right? 👍🏼

  6196.  @loweedwards7807  Yes I already said like 5 comments ago that pure aluminum doesn't have to be used by itself and I wasn't talking about "structure". Just like most electrical components, wires, and foils are encased in something or placed on a surface. Just like with gold. And it if was used as shielding,, a trace on a PCB, torn cable, wire coating, etc. A tiny piece could have flaked off of anything. I can go to Ebay or Amazon right now and buy large rolls of aluminum foil that is 99.99% or 99.999% pure. In an area that is commonly used for weather balloons, scientific research, special aircraft, bombs, and numerous other tests over the coarse of a hundreds years it wouldn't be weird to find these things.

There you go again creating the same straw man for like the tenth time 😂 Again, pure aluminum has numerous applications and this is especially true in aerospace, scientific research, and military equipment. So finding a few millimeters in a desert known for all of those things, is not somehow crazy nor unusual. I'll wait for you to talking about car batteries again, as if they're somehow the only kind of batteries that exist and the only terminals that exist are the kind that use jumper cables. 😂

  6199.  @loweedwards7807  I didn't say anything about typical use, or being used as fuselage or being used for any application requiring "strength".

I can literally buy rolls of the stuff online. If you cannot understand that then that is a personal comprehension problem.

"You said pure aluminum is used everywhere!" 2 "You said pure aluminum is used for structure/strength/fuselage!" 3. "You said pure aluminum is only used in this application and no other materials are ever used!" I never said any of those things. Nor did I say anything about an alloy.

  6206.  @loweedwards7807  Quotes from people who actually produce pure aluminum for manufacturing: "To be considered pure aluminum, the metal needs to consist of 99% aluminum. Pure aluminum properties include an electrical conductivity that is twice as high when compared to copper and thermal conductivity that is about three times greater than steel, making it an ideal material for heating and cooling applications. It is also characterized by its high reflectivity and resistance to oxidation." "1060 alloy is a high-purity alloy with a content of at least 99.6%. Has excellent weldability, formability, and corrosion resistance. Various forming processes such as impact, cold drawn, deep drawing, and bending can be easily carried out. 1060 aluminum alloy has a copper content of 0.05% and a conductivity of 55% IACS, making it an ideal conductive material. 1060 aluminum plate is suitable for various applications, such as food containers, battery connections, automotive components, signage, lighting fixtures, curtain walls, luggage racks, flooring, decorative panels, and industrial storage tanks. Thick plates can also be cut into aluminum strips for use in electrical fields such as transformers."
    1
  6207.  @loweedwards7807  And as far as it's use in electronics for even higher purity aluminum. Something common to telecommunications, SATCOM, radar, delicate sensors, etc. : "The primary form of aluminum—from the Hall–Héroult process—has a purity range of 99.7 to 99.9%, with major impurities of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), zinc (Zn), and gallium (Ga). While this purity range is sufficient for most industrial applications and alloying, the use of aluminum in high-technology fields, such as semiconductor, electronics, superconducting, and so forth requires higher purity levels exceeding the ones obtained via classical aluminum production processes"
    1
  6208.  @loweedwards7807  No, just repeating what I already stated. Several times at this point.... It's used in busbars, traces, batteries, and electronic components. It's also used for PCBs, I've bought LED modules based on aluminum PCBs before simply because it works as a better heatsink than copper. It's sold as spindle wire, foil, sheets. precisely for this purpose. But apparently you think it's pure aluminum is sold in large rolls, wire, and plating, because no one uses it.... right? 🙄
    1
  6209.  @loweedwards7807  Aluminum is considered "pure" when it's greater than 99%. Furthermore If you read the paragraph before they decided to zoom in for dramatic effect. Dr. Time Hossain calls it an "ordinary piece of aluminum found almost anywhere on earth". Yes capitalized and highlighted for dramatic effect. However no actual percentage is listed. So what it "could be" is entirely irrelevant. They can call it "pure" if the percentage is greater than 99%. Keep in mind this is a TV show.... Obviously they're going to play up whatever angle they can to make something sound interesting.

  6210.  @loweedwards7807  Dude.... There are aluminum traced PCBs. High wattage LEDs use aluminum printed PCBs with aluminum backing. Copper is better at heat transference (conduction) but Aluminum is better at heat dissipation into the air. Which is why aluminum is used for heat sinks and copper is used for heat pipes. You fundamentally have no idea what you're talking about. Yet somehow you sit here saying the dumbest things with confidence.

It has good elongation and tensile strength, and high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity" "Other stuff is on the PCB so therefore it's not pure." 🤡 You're one of the most disingenuous persons I've ever come across.
    1
  6214.  @loweedwards7807  Not grasping at anything. Just restating my point (stated about 10 times now) that high purity aluminum is used in PCBs and many other applications. Are you still somehow denying that? No? Yes materials are often "combined together" to build things. 😂 Your phone is made up of LOTS of different materials and if you smashed it and burned it and someone found a spec of glass, plastic, tin, copper, or aluminum or steel a decade from now in the desert you would be hard-pressed to know where it came from. Again, pure aluminum is considered anything above 99%. You have NO IDEA the level of purity in this sample. Only that they used the words "pure aluminum".
    1
  6215.  @loweedwards7807  Again aluminum that has less than 1% impurities is considered "pure" . Just like we might call something PURE water, but ALL water has some level of impurities. Even "ultra pure" water has some level of impurities. Also, you have no idea who capitalized that word (likely the show), but capitalization doesn't translate to any exact percentages, sorry. 🤷🏽 You say that aluminum easily reacts to everything yet you also want to think a tiny speck of aluminum from the 1940s somehow stayed intact on the ground in a desert. 🤷🏽 The likely explanation is that it's a piece of aluminum from something more recent. Which, as I explained, could have come from a variety of sources. Possibly even from the tens of thousands of people visiting the site over the years. But instead of considering the likely explanation, you're grasping at straws (and word capitalization) just so you can believe in something fantastical.
    1
  6216.  @loweedwards7807  Again, there is nothing here indicating the percentage is 100%. This is merely you grasping at straws and guessing based on what you want to be true. This is precisely the type of reaction shows like this look for to keep people engaged. They zoom around a report and then focus on "Pure Aluminum", which can be anything above 99%, without giving you any additional specifics. Other than it was something manufactured and not naturally occurring.... So what?.... They keep it vague on purpose just so you can read more into it than necessary. This is all done to keep the show entertaining. Feeding your imagination is just part of it.
    1
  6217.  @loweedwards7807  Your first mistake is assuming that "pure" means 100%. it doesn't.... Pure water doesn't mean there are no contaminates and ultrapure water means they removed as many impurities as humanly possible. It also doesn't mean 100% H20. Similarly with aluminum there is a "pure" (99%) and "high pure" and "ultra pure" to indicate different levels of impurities. Just like 24 karat gold is STILL not "100% Au" even if it is considered "pure gold". This is different than purposely creating an alloy for specific properties (like strength, etc.). Your second mistake is not knowing there isn't a 100% when it comes to measurements. In this report there would be a measurement as well as a "margin of error". Both of which are not represented here and like I said the show isn't disclosing it because they want it to be vague. Every measurement is going to have a margin of error which means you can never guarantee 100% Sorry, but you can't just use your imagination and make up what you want the measurement to be simply because you want to believe that a speck of aluminum is special somehow.
    1
  6218.  @loweedwards7807  Wrong. It's highly accurate but not perfect. Quote: "When we take a spectroscopy measurement we expect the result to be accurate and precise. However, how accurate and precise depends on many factors and in the real world every measurement will include a margin for error. In fact the results we get from our spectroscopy measurements are not complete unless we include the error, i.e. composition is an average of 20% with an error margin of +/- 0.2%." And when it comes to all metals whether it's gold, iron, copper or aluminum, "pure" does not mean 100% because there are always impurities at the atomic level. It's only called an "alloy" if it contains enough of another element to change it's properties. However nothing is ever going to be 100% one element. Again, you can't just assume what's in a report that you haven't seen.

  6219.  @loweedwards7807  Sorry, but detection is not the same as this contains "100% of this element". Nor does the report say that. So once again you're trying to lie here.

  6220.  @loweedwards7807  Furthermore it is clear as day in the notes that all they said was it was ordinary aluminum and that it was processed. He said it was impossible to know who made it or where it was made. There is absolute no indication that it wasn't made by some company in China. If it was some magic 100% aluminum like you're desperately trying to lie about. He wouldn't have called it ordinary or imply it was made by a person.

  6221.  @loweedwards7807  Again, there was no 100%.... You're simply making that up. You can keep stating a made up number as you want to. It doesn't make it a reality.

  6222. ​ @loweedwards7807  Again, there are no metals that are 100%. Again, "not an alloy" does not mean "no impurities", just like pure gold, iron, lead, etc. are not alloys, but still contain impurities. You're also stating a number a scientist would NEVER assert without caveats. There would also be some margin of error which could be very tiny or substantial depending on how the sample was taken, how the sample was measured and the results. NONE of which have been disclosed. Instead of acknowledging that, you're going around making up numbers that were NEVER stated.
    1
  6223.  @loweedwards7807  lol... 1. A scientist studying aluminum knows that "pure aluminum" is anything above 99% 🤡. He also gave no indication that it wasn't manufactured on earth. In fact he implied it was. 2. No one said anything about a machine "lying" 😂, but all spectrometers have a margin of error. Meaning a result can be 99.999% but never 100%. They are also only as good as the samples taken from he source material, which we know absolutely nothing about. It looks like you've run out of any rational arguments. Making up numbers to suit a fantasy is not an argument. Sorry. 🤷🏽
    1
  6224.  @loweedwards7807  lol.... A scientist that studies aluminum knows that anything above 99% is called "pure aluminum". There is a margin of error based on how the samples are taken and each measurement has a +/- PPM error, NO result would ever be 100% 😂 It might be 99.999% but never 100%. So you're just lying about results you've never even seen.

  6225.  @vonzuriel4341  Not knowing an explanation for something isn't proof of anything else. It is simply not knowing. If you automatically assume anything "you don't know" is evidence of aliens, ghosts, angels, etc. then that says more about your belief system than anything else.

If you're not going to start with a basic understanding of facts then how can you hope to have an intelligent conversation?

  6227. The GOP would have never allowed Romney to implement "RomneyCare" like he did in Massachusetts. Romney ran on repealing Obamacare so at least a hundred thousands people wouldn't be alive today based on the changes that were in the ACA. There were also differences on foreign policy and I doubt we would have ever gotten DACA under Romney. Granted the difference is nowhere near as great as it is between Trump and Bernie Sanders, but let's not pretend there weren't some pretty big differences.

  6231.  @StrangerHappened  You guys can only lie to make a point. --"Mueller has concluded that those "instances" do not constitute obstruction." A completely lie. Not only did he make a case for obstruction. He said if Trump wasn't president he could be charged for those instances. --"Trump has not used his executive privileges even once. " Another lie. Trump cited executive privilege over releasing the full Mueller report. As well as release of the documents surrounding why the citizenship question was added to the census.

  6232.  @hdtvcamera1  Political pandering by whom exactly? So because you heard some things once therefore everything in the report is not true? I don't get what you're saying here and you're not making any sense. The report stated that they could not find evidence of a conspiracy, but there were 10 instances of obstruction. Not to mention other crimes that were redacted because of ongoing investigations/trials. Why did Trump obstruct the investigation over and over? Why did he say "This is the end of my presidency... I'm Fu*ked!" when a special counsel was assigned? Because he's clearly guilty. Why are you people still defending him? Because you're team players and partisan hacks.
    1
  6233.  @hdtvcamera1  What does Fusion GPS have to do with all of Trump's crimes? All Mueller needs to know was what he was tasked to investigate. You people pretending that Fusion GPS stops a president from obstructing justice is like pretending a murderer didn't commit murder because someone hired a private investigator to see if he was cheating on his wife. ALL presidential candidates do opposition research on their opponents. Somehow you care that Clinton's campaign funded opposition research on Trump (that was first funded by a conservative media outlet). Yet you don't care that Trump went to an adversarial foreign government for opposition research on Clinton. Why is that? 🤔 It makes absolutely no sense. The bottom line is YOU DON'T CARE that your president is a criminal. You don't care about Trump University, Campaign Finance Violations that his lawyer is in jail for, the dozens of indictments of people surrounding his campaign, the fact that he was trying to get a Trump Tower built in Moscow in the middle of his campaign and then later lied repeatedly about it. You don't care that he obstructed justice 10 times for crimes that he could be charged with if he wasn't president. You don't care that he has lied thousands of times to the american people. If this were Clinton you would be demanding that she be dragged away in handcuffs.

  6239. 3. The native Americans a few hundred years ago had no concept of owning land, perpetual debt, or being forced to work 8 hours a day to pay bills. They worked for the sake of the village and for recognition. Today work is (mostly) not for personal gratification, but to perform meaningless tasks for someone else's bottom line. The only choice, assuming you have choices in your area, is who you are indentured to. Making money for money's sake for survival disguises everyone's true potential.

Same with Yemen, Somalia, Darfur and other countries in Africa. Democracy comes from ideas, not killing or threatening people. More weapons per capita in the US didn't stop corporations from taking over or the prison population from increasing. Only fools think weapons create healthy societies..

  6245. You really don't need to be an expert on guns to know that one type of gun can mow down a lot of people whereas another does not. It's not like these people are using target rifles or crossbows for mass shootings... They're using semi-automatic weapons and extended magazines specifically to kill as many people as possible. If they could easily buy hand grenades or rocket launchers they would use those as well.

The Right feeds on lies, when someone actually creates a video to correct the record and get the facts right, The Right just uses that against them. Meanwhile someone like Trump can lie constantly, never make a single correction, and they love him for it.

  6254.  @PhoeniX199777  Dude they uploaded the correction the same day they removed the other one. It wasn't in response to anything. Like I said, if you guys actually cared about the truth you would spend more time on the corrected video instead of the earlier one. Instead it's "OMG, TYT made a guess as to the motive based on what was reported at the time and it turned out to be wrong" never a peep about the corrections they made afterwards. Instead let's just obsess endlessly over them saying something wrong once. No one seems to care when people are wrong about Islam being a motive for an attack, yet you suggest racism (which was logical given what was reported) and suddenly you have millions of white males losing their shit as if you're personally attacking them. Maybe you guys should put some of that energy into people who never correct themselves? Personally I respect TYT for being mature enough to correct the record when the facts come out.

  6255.  @PhoeniX199777  Annotations are optional and don't even show up on all devices. If they leave it up then people will just link to that video, and pretend that TYT is lying about it, and completely ignore the correction. They literally cannot win either way.

  6260. @luvcheney1 WRONG.... The reason banks went broke and the global economy collapsed is because of the insane amount of leverage banks were allowed to take because of deregulation. The bets were so rediculouis that any slump in the market would cause a collapse. It's literally like going to Vegas and being able to bet $6,000 when you only have $200 in the bank. That and "preditory lending" is called FRAUD. "poor people caused the collapse" is the *LIE* corporate media wants you to believe.

  6261. Sorry Cenk, I wouldn't make $500,000 bets if I was rich. I don't care if you're betting $100 or a Million dollars. Betting is STUPID waste of money. I have absolutely no respect for someone throwing money away for the addictive thrill of being right, wrong, or lucky. Just like I have no respect for people gambling money all day on Wall Street. Do something , create something, learn something, find meaning, don't just sit around playing games with monopoly money. Tax the Rich.

  6275. You dragging yourself in here Kyle... TYT can also claim they were "dragged in" because of all the bs that Jimmy has been saying about them, so how is that any different? So please stop pretending you're somehow "above the fray". Furthermore there was a lot of "Russiagate" smearing to go around.... For whatever reason it became a nonsense culture war. People, including yourself, were pretending that anyone calling for an investigation or speculating where somehow Clinton campaign operatives or part of some deep state conspiracy. You also try to claim that since Trump wasn't indicted for conspiring with Putin that somehow "you were right" about something, it's ridiculous. Everyone can have an opinion based on the same set of facts without it being a F*CKING culture war. What Aaron and Jimmy did was WAY beyond a simple disagreement they attacked people's motives and journalistic integrity, he then substituted his own opinions based on a different set of circumstantial evidence and pretended it was factual. However Ana turning around doing the same thing to him was also not fair. I wouldn't say Jimmy is a "grifter" per se, but he does say a lot of hyperbolic and untrue things to get attention. If he honestly believes everything he says then he's got some serious problems. He also has had a LONG history of bad behavior with young female coworkers. Emma, Ana, Francesca, etc. I have not heard a single young female coworker that didn't have issues with Jimmy whether it was weird anger and vitriol or inappropriate comments.

If your only argument is "This guy said something wrong once 15 years ago" then you really don't have an argument. The difference between now and the lead up to the Iraq War is that there was ACTUAL conflicting evidence that the government was ignoring and a strong political motivation to go to war in Iraq (PNAC, etc.). Without that, your so called "skepticism" is nothing more that confirmation bias, you're simply looking for holes in the case because Hillary and the DNC were the ones who first brought it up. Since you hate them you have to believe that they were lying when there really was never any evidence that they were.

There was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for Bernie to waste time going after Biden when everyone saw Bloomberg and Buttigieg as the biggest threats. You know it and I know it. If Bernie spent all of his time taking on Biden and then Buttigieg or Bloomberg suddenly shot ahead then you would be sitting there talking about how he didn't go after them enough...

You find this here and in many third world countries that do not regulate their markets or provide for the commons (roads, bridges, water, electricity, etc)

  6303. Saying that Trump sounds like a "standard politician" is giving him way too much credit. I don't think even a standard Republican politician would be dumb enough to make that argument. They would at least be savvy enough to throw in something about small businesses. Trump is basically taking something that you would hear from a Fox or OANN pundit and pretending that's what people want to hear.

  6304. You're reacting based on the severity of another crime not what theys did which had absolutely nothing to do with the crime itself. Nor will it have any impact on whether the perpetrators are convicted. If they threw away a friend's joint you wouldn't care, but since their friends did a horrible act you feel they should pay for it too. To me that is irrational. They are young/naïve, but being immigrants they're probably also isolated, don't trust cops, & instinctively look out for each other.

  6305. 06:30 Even "jihadism" isn't the right term. Jihad doesn't mean "spreading sharia law around the world through violence or force". It laterally just means "struggle" or "striving" which can be internal or external. You could even call the fight for 15 dollar minimum wage a "jihad" if you wanted to. We really should be adopting the Arabic word/acronym "Daesh" when talking about extremists because it is the world that Muslims use against the violent extremist. It would signal that we have a common enemy as opposed to pretending that all of Islam is the enemy like Tulsi does.

  6306. 1. When competition involves basic survival. It leads to war and violence. This is why money is what people argue about the most and is the #1 cause of divorce. 2. I suggest watching "Zeitgeist Moving Forward" which is about the movement and addresses that topic in detail. The short answer is that it doesn't matter when everyone's basic needs can be met. *Today* we demonize the homeless, poor, unemployed, immigrants, the incarcerated, and other races. All of which are rooted in economics.

  6314. 4. Wrong. Progressives don't agree with anti-vice laws. Who do you think has been protesting for legalization all this time? Same goes for prostitution, Sodomy, Porn, buying alcohol on Sunday, etc. These are *conservative* or "christian right" issues not progressive ones. I'm personally against seatbelt laws too... Secondly the only reason you live in a stable functioning society is because of government. Thinking that "government is always the problem" is based on ideological nonsense.

  6315. @CDubSD "Probably" Right... Racheal Maddow is one the nicest and most curtious interviewer there is on cable. She's had several conservatives on her show as well as anti-gay. The reason why conservatives go on Fox News is because most of the time they are given softball interviews, they are never asked real questions. Journalists are supposed to CHALLANGE our politicians. Google: "Fox Viewers Uninformed" Fox does not care about facts... Just ratings and keeping you angry and uninformed.

  6317. FINALLY... TYT is slowly starting to acknowledge that vaccines are more about personal protection than stopping any transmission of the virus to others, since recent studies show that vaccines do not do much to stop transmission of the Delta variant. So yes it is in the same vain as drug regulations, seatbelts, etc. You may criticize people for not protecting themselves, or smoking, or hundreds of other things that aren't healthy, but it really doesn't need to be culture war issue. Also Geraldo talking about someone "sneezing on his grandkids" is pretty absurd. No one is going around sneezing on people's children.

  6318. To me it's more of a reflection of how sexualized our culture is. If every dress a woman can wear , particularly those in fashion magazines. is considered "sexual" what does that say about us? And no those parents that force and obsess over their children in beauty pagents are far worse than this. I think that is much more damaging psychologically than playing "dress up".

  6321. Most asians are recent immigrants. They are not products of 300+ years of slavery, oppression, aparthied, and structural bias that still lingers today. Most of a person's wealth is entirely based on the family they're born into (Google "Like father, not like son"). If you're wealthy you're likely to have wealthy children for many generations & likewise if you're born poor. People are products of their environment. It's pretty stupid to think another race is somehow genetically dumb or lazy.

  6322.  @eliper4823  Trump provided deflection to the right wingers who attacked the media by saying it was the media's fault because of their reporting. You can do a simple Google search to find the quotes. Trump also blamed "both sides" when a woman was murdered in Charlottesville. This was providing cover for heinous acts and Fox News largely echoed the same talking points. Now please tell me who on the left "defended MS13"?

  6325. @drinfested It's semantics. Yes it would be technically incorrect to say that the temperature caused the mutation when referring to evolution. Cenk & Ana aren't scientists or anything. I believe the theory is that the cosmic rays that we are constantly exposed to and can pass through us at any moment can cause tears in the DNA of developing cells which can cause a developing egg to mutate. Sort of sounds like a comic book if you think about it.

  6326. Horace has always been a complete partisan hack. Pretending that not Clinton not being able to get Bin Ladin is evidence that trying to get Bin Ladin was a political distraction in the first place is bullshit reasoning.

  6327. You're having trouble with reading comprehension.... Alcohol consumption did GO DOWN during prohibition. However I don't expect you to actually pay attention to facts. Of course you don't trust Harvard citing peer reviewed research. You would rather trust some blog that tells you what you want to hear. It's not about fake "balance" it's about FACTS. The problem with Americans today is that they only care about bullshit opinions and reality TV instead of science, evidence, and facts.

  6328. TOTALLY agree with Cenk. It doesn't matter if you're in love with Ron Paul or not. Here's what is true in this world: Press ask questions, politicians answer them. It doesn't matter if you don't like the question. you fuckin ANSWER IT... You don't get irate and walk away like a child because you don't think the question is worth your time. That question was NO WHERE NEAR as tough, unfair, etc, as the questions a president gets at nearly every press conference.

  6329. @luvcheney1 Both Heirtage & Cato are known for fudging numbers to push a "viewpoint". I'd never trust stats coming from them unless they were backed by other orgnaizations. Especially when they're based on abstract and purely subjective notions like "freedom". A label they seem to apply to anything making their numbers favorable. Secondly if you're going to look at resources you cannot discount the vast amount of resources this country has had and the resources it takes from other countries.

Cenk is right, police would arrest a black guy in a heartbeat when there is an UNARMED DEAD GUY. "self defense" is something that is determined by A JURY not the fucking police. "self defense" is only taken as an excuse if the dead guy is a known mugger with a weapon. Even in those cases police can still charge on the grounds of unecessary force.

Personally I would rather see more efforts in identifying sexual compulsions and finding ways of dealing with it in society so that we have FEWER incidents like this.

  6335. Sorry, it's not a simple matter of just "eating veggies". The problem is our wasteful capitalistic profit driven mindset. The amount of food we waste is ENOURMOUS. A huge percentage of what we grow simply ends up in landfills. We need to get out of this "factory farm" mindset and into a SUSTAINABILITY mindset. Lack of sustainability is killing ourselves, the environment, our TOPSOIL and contributing to climate change. If we don't manage the planet and our resources we die.... period. -TZM

  6336. @yungsqueezy You have a point to an extent. However pockets of community racism are in direct response to decades of "institutional racism", young people jaded against an unfair system they percieve as having constant favoritism towards whites. As far as I know there is no place in the world where whites/caucasians are subject to institutional racism. For example the man who killed the boy is walking around free. If the circumstances were reversed that kid would never see the light of day.

  6337. 3. Sorry, smartphones weren't "free market". The gov't invested *heavily* in computers, microprocessors, & satellites (NASA, military, research grants, etc.). This led to "silicon valley", satellite communications, GPS, etc. Many scientific advances in (technology, medicine, cures for diseases, etc.) all come from gov't investment in research. The gov't doesn't spend billions advertising. People foolishly believe everything comes from the marketing slogans they are brainwashed by every day.

The you couple that with race and celebrity and you have the reason why Americans are fascinated by British royalty.

  6339. That's the point... Obviously *most people* do not understand the legislative process. So *most people* are going to equate the author of the stimulus bill to Obama. Do I think the cartoonist was being racist in any way? No. However newspapers are always written for the masses, not those who have any idea who "David Obey" is. It is something that could have easily been caught by an editor with a little insight into how it could be interpreted.

  6340. So tell me Saagar... How is this any different than "Russiagate" that you complained about for so long? In this case, you have a single official who proposes a guess, doesn't provide any evidence for that guess, then another person in the media who says we should listen to that person.

  6341. Biden did suggest that Trump was going to try and delay the election months ago. So I'm pretty sure they are taking it somewhat seriously.

Forgetting that we are a community and subsituting "monopoly money" for morality is the surest and quickest way to our own distruction. We are humans not consumers.

Because I remember progressive outlets talking about these scandals over and over. You didn't give a shit about the kids that were being sexually abused. Yet as soon as someone you see as "left" is implicated in something you're all over it. I don't even see how a Pope can be seen as "left", but that's your idiotic logic, not ours. You're nothing but political hacks. You guys really make me sick because you don't give a shit about the actual story, you only care about making moronic left/right arguments and cheerleading for you god damn team.

People on pubic assistance are not paying federal taxes. 2. Middle class wages have been declining ever since Reagan cut public assistance programs. 3. No, companies don't lobby for worker's benefits, that's what UNIONS do.

  6356. @CDubSD It's obvious you're young... What do you think a "liberal" policy is? Is it higher taxes? Why was the country prosperous when the rich paid a 90% tax rate and plunged into a HUGE deficit when taxes were cut under Reagan and Bush Jr? Is it social equality? Are you against women voting? Civil Rights? Do you support Slavory (legal in the constitution)? How about child labor? Should only a select few have the right to vote? If you "cherry pick" history you can see whatever you want.

  6359. Conservatives don't have a platform unless they have someone to hate.... Whether it's Muslims, minorities, immigrants, etc. The only reason why they focus on trans people is because hating gay people became less popular. The only reason why they focus on hating CRT or "wokeness" is because they can't openly hate black people anymore. The reason why they're embracing nonsense around q-anon is because they have to make up stories about secretly pedophile rings or secrete "deep state" conspiracies to hate. It's just a non-stop circle-jerk of hate and I'm sick and tired of it.

NONE of the TSA bans have ever stopped a terrorist act yet we still blindly follow them for years like drones.

Apparently getting drunk on a plane is fine but someone having a swiss army knife scares you?

  6369.  Mauris  For some reason you conveniently forget how English works.. "biggest factor" is not the same as "only factor" and "crime and violence" is not the same as "deaths". Obviously when you add more dangerous weapons to that "crime and violence" it means that more people will die. This is the same reason we don't let people like ISIS get their hands on a nuclear device.... obviously. "so why don't you just leave the rural areas alone" Because then people in the cities will just get their guns from the surrounding rural areas. This is PRECISELY what happens in Chicago and the Gun Show Loophole... Do you think people are incapable of driving for a couple hours to get guns? Hunting rifles that people use in a rural area to protect their property from animals or shoot deer isn't the problem here. It's handguns, semi-automatics, ARs, etc. "So at the very least, more guns doesn't mean more homicides" Nope. Correlation does not equal causation. Again... There are factors outside of guns that effect crime and violence. And when you look at the studies referenced at the Harvard School of Public Health which SPECIFICALLY control for those factors, they clearly show that more guns equal more deaths. Fun fact, for decades it was known that lead gasoline was basically poisoning the entire population. Lead causes psychological problems and violence, especially in cities with lots of cars. So many scientists believe that the EPA's phasing out of lead gasoline (late 70s to early 90s) caused a dramatic reduction (some say 56%) in violent crime and homicides across the country. Of course you could also look at the fact that the US has the most guns per capita and also one of the highest homicide rates in the industrialized world. Just look at any country with similar wealth, industrialization, and demographics and it's not hard to figure out why the UK, France, Canada, and Australia have FAR lower homicide rates than the US. Or why they don't have any mass shootings like we do.

  6370. The profit motive is a scourge on our society. It should be treated as a social disorder that must be managed instead of letting it run roughshod over every aspect of our lives. Not saying communism is any kind of answer, but neither is making a buck off of life, death, and imprisonment.

I think those same people flipped to Klobuchar when Warren started flailing and Klobuchar had a good debate performance a few nights ago. If you believe that Klobuchar took votes away from Buttigieg then you would have to believe that Buttigieg had a huge lead in NH and that wasn't shown in the polls at all.

Also If you're going to be fired for being 2 minutes late for reasons outside of your control then you're likely to get fired at any point due to a traffic accident or hundreds of other reasons people get delayed going to work. Secondly I didn't insult anyone... A bit high-strung are we? I think so...

  6392.  William Loudermilk  As long as profit is the primary motivating factor of our society, there will be collusion. there will be corporatism, there will be monopolies, oligopolies, there will be oligarchy, there will be corruption. These are natural results of profit and extreme wealth being a primary motivation in our society. People will collude to attain wealth, they will collude to maintain wealth. They will create propaganda, start wars, pollute the environment, and buy politicians to gain and maintain that wealth. Regardless of the "etymological root" of "capital" and "capitalism". The definition today is the ownership of the means of production. Which is entirely different than a "marketplace of ideas". It is basically owning the copyright or patent on someone else's ideas and using that to create and own more ideas. I think capitalism can run certain aspects of our society, but it should be small enough to "drown in a bathtub" as they say.

If I reject the laws of physics I am in fact making a claim to its validity. There are a great many theories in Quantum Mechanics and Astrophysics not every one is believed by all scientists nor are they all discounted. Just as the existance of "dieties" cannot be blindly discounted without understanding the nature of reality.

  6397. 10:23 Don't you realize that even plants have "the ability to understand its surroundings and execute it's desires"? Do we then police the entire animal kingdom to prevent animals from abusing other animals? If it weren't for the fact that humans owned canines and evolved them over centuries, and actually changed how they worked in the wild, dogs would ever even exist. I totally agree with the idea that we should respect nature on the same level that we respect humanity. And I think the drive to preserve "nature" should be on the same level as the drive to preserve and protect humanity, because those two things are entirely intertwined. However to say that we're going to treat all animals like people is utterly ridiculous.

  6402.  @snow-rm3jx  The hush money payments that Cohen made on behalf of Trump to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to keep from talking during the election can be considered an in kind donation to Trump's campaign exceeding the $2700 limit. Cohen pleaded guilty to these charges and said it was done at Trump's request during the hearings. I would also add the fact that Trump was sending emails to politicians in the UK, Australia, and Iceland asking for money for his campaign. It is completely illegally to receive or solicit campaign money from foreign nationals. Trump is a slimeball and a crook. If Obama did even a tenth of what Trump has actually done, he would have been impeached long ago. Heck they wanted to impeach Hillary Clintong (if she got elected) over having a less than secure email sever, meanwhile Trump and Ivanka have done government business on person phones, email accounts, and Trump is giving out top secret security clearance to people who were determined be a security risks.

If you're ideological minded instead of scientific then of course you see the world as "conflicting ideologies". No different than a religious zealot seeing the world as conflict between angles and demons.

  6407. Not that I agree with the use of drone strikes as a general policy. However you are completely wrong to characterize all drone strikes as being "at war" with those countries. In many cases these drone strikes are sanctioned by the governments themselves. So it isn't the same as China randomly doing a drone strike in Kentucky and you shouldn't characterize these issues in overly simplistic terms.

  6408.  @beswick1306  According to a UK study from a couple months ago looking at the transmission of Delta. Vaccinated households reduced transmission by only 30%. And that 30% is only within the first two months of vaccination. When immunity starts the wane there is very little difference. They found that the viral load is identical between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals regardless of whether the person us symptomatic. The main difference is that the virus clears sooner in vaccinated individuals. btw a 30% reduction is pretty much the difference in transmissibility between a man and a woman since men on average transmit 30% more of the virus than women. So if a 30% reduction is your goal you might as well ban men from indoor spaces and healthcare facilities. The exaggeration of reduced transmissibility among vaccinated people has always been misinformation and was never based on science, only assumptions. It probably led to a lot more Covid to being spread last summer when Delta was surging.

  6417. Sean, you are seriously sick and completely lose credibility when you're comparing the KKK to BLM. As if a group who went around killing, torturing, and lynching black people including burning down their homes and churches is the same as people who peacefully protest.
    1
  6418. "Burning down the cities of Ferguson, Baltimore, Milwaukee, etc," Those cities were not burned down. "hunting down and murdering police officers" If you're referring to Dallas, that had nothing to do with BLM. The shooter was even on record as hating BLM because they weren't extreme enough for him. "killing and terrorizing white people" What are you talking about here? "torturing a mentally disabled teenager for 2 days while streaming every second" Again, had nothing to do with BLM. They were not affiliated with BLM in any way. You seem to think that anything a black person does is related to BLM. Tell me is Trump directly responsible for the white supremacists who dress up like Trump and go around terrorizing black people? Or does this guilt by association only apply to black/brown people?
    1
  6419. Sean, 1. So in other words "not burned down" and you're making shit up. Got it. 2. BLM has never wanted dead cops. You're referring to a few people out of thousands who jokingly chanted that in a protest YEARS AGO. Yet YEARS LATER somehow a chant that a few people did in a crowd applies to the entire BLM movement. Has that been an ongoing chant or concept in BLM? No... of course not. Yet you proceed to use that to somehow blame them for any cop death in the entire country.
    1
  6420. 3. --"And no Trump is not responsible because he is not a white supremacist and doesn’t hold the same views" Wouldn't it be nice if you held the same standards for white people as you do for black people? Somehow all black people represent the views of BLM and BLM is responsible for anything a black person ever does in a crowd or protest. Yet you give Trump a pass for what white supremacists do in his name... Why is that? Why the clear double standard? If you want to know what BLM actually stands for then all you need to do is go to their website or listen to their leaders and you would see that all they're asking for is common sense laws and oversight to reduce deaths (for all people). But no... You would rather base your entire view on a chant that a few people did once in a crowd years ago.
    1
  6421. -"BLM denounced was the torturing incident" Oh so YOU KNEW that BLM denounced that indecent and yet YOU STILL proceeded to purposely slander them for it? You're a hypocrite. You apply a completely different standard to BLM and black people. and yet when white supremacists dress up like Trump, repeat his slogans, you give him a pass. A double standard.
    1
  6422. Sean, you clearly listed several instances of black people doing things that were never sanctioned or endorsed by BLM in any *way*. So please stop with the fake indignation. It wasn't a straw man it was based on your statements, or would you like me to re-post your comments above?
    1
  6423. Sean, explain how the shooter in Dallas was a BLM "activist"? Explain how those teenagers that were torturing that man were "activists". Explain how random shootings of police officers were "activists". Explain how random people who show up in a crowd were "activists" in BLM. Do you have their history of attending BLM meetings or being involved in organizing? Just admit that you're simply grouping black people together and calling them BLM.

  6424. Sean, When you have nothing to back up your claims, then your claims are nothing but bias and bigotry. I've asked you 3 times now for the facts to justify your specific claims and you haven't provided anything. So it's clear where you're coming from. Simply throwing more labels around doesn't help you.

  6425. Sean, I'm still waiting to hear how BLM directly "orchestrated" any of these cases you're mentioning. You haven't provided a single thing to substantiate this claim at all....
    1
  6426. Sean, so let's be clear... Your argument is no longer that BLM "orchestrated" anything right? You are retracting this claim and admitting that it is completely *false*, correct? Secondly, what is your evidence that BLM "incited violence"? Can you point to a single BLM leader that has said anything to incite a violent act? Third, even if it were true (which it isn't) speech does not make someone a "terrorist", actions and tactics do. By your logic Trump is a "terrorist" because he incited people to punch people at his campaign rallies.

It's also curious that "the right" never believed that Iran dismantled their nuclear weapons even though the US got everything they wanted in that deal and the UN could regularly inspect Iran's facilities. Yet somehow those same people magically believe that North Korea will denuclearize based on nothing more than a smile and a handshake.... The hypocrisy is astounding...

  6433.  @sgcv  People have been hit with lightening and survived, so therefore it must have happened yesterday to me right? You people lack any and all deductive reasoning skills.
    1
  6434.  @sgcv  Almost 50 people get hit by lightening every year. So it happens far more often than leaking pathogens from a lab. --"Why should this not be a reasonable source for covid 19?" Because you have zero basis for it. It's been known for months now that this virus isn't man made and there is no reported outbreak among lab workers. The entire basis for your claim is the fact that a lab "exists". It's just as dumb as thinking that a mass shooting was caused by a nearby gun range. You somehow want people to believe that a "mistake happened", that somehow didn't effect anyone at the lab, the area surrounding the lab, and this so called "mistake" caused the virus to magically appear at a wet market many miles away from the location of the lab..
    1
  6435.  @sgcv  Again.... Just because someone has been struck by lightening and survives doesn't mean it happened to me yesterday. Again... Just because there have been cases of mismanagement (not outbreaks) of pathogens, doesn't magically mean there is evidence of it happening here. Again... Just because there is a gun range around the corner and a history of mismanagement of firearms at various gun ranges, doesn't make it responsible for a mass shooting. You really need to understand the difference between evidence and logic vs a non-sequitur. Again, your whole assertion is based on the existence of a lab and literally NOTHING ELSE. You might as well pretend that it came from aliens, and start quoting random unrelated UFO sightings to support that it came from aliens.
    1
  6436.  @sgcv  Not knowing something doesn't mean that the virus came from aliens ether. The Chinese government could be harboring aliens that were being studied at the lab. Since "you don't know" and the Chinese government can be secretive that's also a possibility right? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Again, understand how evidence and logic work. Also listen to the scientists not some conspiracy bullshit based on absolutely nothing other than your imagination.
    1
  6437.  @sgcv  Natural outbreaks happen every single year in fact.. This is the norm for outbreaks. "Escaping from a lab", is not. So your original premise falls flat. Making up a story, based on zero evidence, is just that. A story. We've had MANY global pandemics in the past. The fact that we weren't prepared for what we already knew was inevitable, has absolutely nothing to do with China. Sorry. Making up a conspiracy for which you have zero evidence for doesn't help anything. Do you know what other government tried to minimize, misinform, and suppress information about this virus? OUR OWN... So please spare me. All governments have a tendency to want to "keep things cool" so that they don't panic their economy, trade relations, etc.
    1
  6438.  @sgcv  You still have a problem with following a single argument. The conspiracy in your original claim was based on "this virus leaking from a lab". Not the Chinese government downplaying or covering up an outbreak. Those are two entirely different things. Again, a whole bunch of governments downplayed this virus. I have no doubt that If Trump hadn't fired 2/3rds of the CDC staff in China who were specifically there to get a handle on outbreaks like SARS and if we weren't in the middle of trying to resolve a nonsense trade war with China, then the entire world would have been able to jump on this virus far more quickly. That being said we knew a flu like pandemic was coming for years. Countries like South Korea prepared for it and responded to it appropriately. We did not. Which is why South Korea and many other countries are in a far better place than we are. No amount of trying to create some conspiracy about a Chinese lab changes that fact. We have far more deaths and cases than the rest of the world. The proof is in the pudding.
    1
  6439.  @sgcv  The US does have more cases and deaths in raw numbers and in "per capita" numbers we are still close to the top of the list. Our true number of cases is unknown because we still don't have widespread testing. For every Covid 19 case there are plenty of people who have gotten sick but just haven't been tested for it. There are also lots of people who have died in their homes without ever going to a hospital. So most experts agree that the true number of cases is likely much higher than what is reported. Furthermore the US doesn't have 30 times the population of Japan and South Korea or Taiwan, but we have 30 times or more the number of reported deaths. We have more per capita than Canada or even Mexico. Thousands of people would be alive today if there was more foresight and planning. No amount of trying to blame China changes what people have been warning about for decades.

  6440.  @dallasdandigitalproduction393  That would imply that insects, microbes. and plants also have an after life. Life does change forms, it gets consumed by microorganisms and rots. Bodies become food for other lifeforms unless it is preserved by chemicals. Just because energy cannot be created or destroyed doesn't mean it exists in an unending consciousness. Physics also means that life cannot continue when it's not consuming anything to sustain itself. So living on end for centuries, with no energy to sustain a consciousness, makes no sense. At best there may be a form of energy that can take an imprint of a consciousness or a body like a photograph, but it wouldn't be the same person.
    1
  6441.  @dallasdandigitalproduction393  The only thing I'm discounting is the use of physics and the law of the conservation of energy as a reason for anything. I also discount the idea that seeing orbs in photos, or figures that look like your grandma wearing her favorite hat, or vibrating tables hold any meaning what so ever. I think people can have their own personal journeys and drive all sorts of meaning from those journeys that isn't based on anything scientific, observable, or believable. I also know there are countless forms of perception beyond and within ourselves and therefore countless ways of understanding the universe. However the people in this video seem to be doing nothing more than using their perception/interpretation of the divine as a crutch for life. As many other religions do.
    1
  6442.  @dallasdandigitalproduction393  You don't have to be scamming people to sell people on the idea of an afterlife or "loved ones looking out for you after they're gone". These are stories people like to hear over and over because it brings comfort. So it became a popular idea. That doesn't make the idea true. Throughout history many people have had the ability to "see "or guess aspects of a person's life. People have called it "magic", "spirits", "psychic ability", "aliens", "intuition", or simply careful observation and calculating odds. Putting together a narrative around those things and selling it to others, is simply a story like any other fantasy. And if you're using that story to just feel better about dying or to be "uplifted", then it is simply a crutch. If you're using that story to gain insight or knowledge, then it becomes a personal power.
    1
  6443.  @dallasdandigitalproduction393  I already gave you my arguments: 1. Conservation of energy doesn't apply here. 2. People in this video seem to be mostly using their interpretation of the divine as a crutch for dealing with life and death, just like any other religion. 3. Someone seeing/imagining a figure that looks like your grandmother wearing her favorite hat or orbs showing up in a photograph or vibrating tables are all meaningless things that have no real value other than being part of a story people have concocted as part of #2.

They'll vote and support Trump, but many are starting to show a preference for DeSantis. All it takes is for right wing media to smell blood in the water and you'll see the entire base moving away from Trump. Right wing media has already started shifting because of the abysmal performance of MAGA republicans during the midterms. So I can guarantee that Krystal will be singing a completely different tune 6 months from now.

  6469. @Edgehead10075 Don't thnk for a second that this is a "liberal" issue. The point was we give undo scrutiny to those that speak outside of talking points it's a problem on all sides. For instance the most famous during the Bush admin was general Eric Shinseki who spoke out against occupying iraq and the amount of troops it would take. He was shunned by the administration and media for this view, but it turned out years later he was completely right.

  6470. @megagagnon1 You're deflecting.... My claim was the innovations that you're enjoing which changed the world came out of industries that grrew in CA. I did NOT claim it was *currently* fiscally sound. During this recession you can find many states with LOW taxes and regulations yet high debt and unemployment (OK, GA, NC, FL, NV etc). Your ideology is meaningless.... The more you choose to limit your thinking to a single belief sytstem the less knowledgable and easily manupulated you become.

  6473. Clearly there is more than enough to bring charges and it's going to trial. This wasn't a burglery or a mugging. Personally I think Zimmerman will get a conviction. He was specifically told not to follow Trayvon. There were no visible blood or wounds on him.. audio and eye witnesses contradict his story, Those conditions make it easy to make the case that Zimmerman instigated the incident. It may not be full 2nd degree, but he'll certainly be convicted of something.

  6476.  @greysonunlucky1876  Sorry, but Yang didn't say anything magical. Other than his freedom dividend he gave typical non-specific answers. The problem is that he did so in a way that didn't really connect with actual people or actual issues. If you think giving quick generic answers is enough, then you really don't know the first thing about politics. Yang needs to connect with actual voters is he has any hope of winning anything or create coalitions in his own party. This isn't a job interview or a proposal for a new social media app... This is effing politics... If you don't get that then GTFO because you have no hope of even being mayor of a small town let alone beating anyone in a national race.

  6477. ​ @x1nightskyx  No he literally gave no solutions other than talking about his freedom dividend. Handing out cash, without ever answering the questions about inflation or an obvious a rise in rent prices, tying assistance to market forces, and crippling safety nets, isn't an actual plan for anything. Yang's solution to everything seems to just talk about giving people money, while giving vague generic answers to everything else. He's utterly inept when it comes to answering questions on Israel, Bolivia, Iran, etc. The president has far more power over foreign policy than he/she ever does on domestic policy. Having shitty answers to to the one thing you'll have power over as commander in chief is troubling to say the least. But hey, "free money" right? 🙄 smh...

  6478.  @x1nightskyx  LOL you're literally comparing the "minimum wage", a policy that has already been implemented in this country 80 years ago times and dozens of countries around the world with no job losses. To a universal basic income that has never been implemented in any country anywhere at any point. You're obviously not a serious person.
    1
  6479.  @x1nightskyx  You must be pretty clueless if you think we had a minimum wage in 1920 as opposed to now 😂. Then in the very next sentence you compare the industrial revolution to 2020? Isn't that comparing 1840 to 2020? lol 😂. Sorry dude.... I did actually research that, unlike you people. First off the Alaska dividend varies every year and it can be a few hundred dollars or it can be over a $1000. Secondly it is not a "wage" it's more like a yearly "bonus". Many people get bonuses every year from their jobs. People aren't using their bonus to pay rent or live on. It is extra money used for holidays or vacations. This is completely different than a UBI which is designed to operate as a regular monthly income. If you're paying $8000 a month for rent today, you can now afford $1800 a month in rent and you can bet that landlords will immediately raise rent in response to the increased demand.
    1
  6480.  @x1nightskyx  I wasn't talking about losing jobs you were. You tried criticize me for seemingly comparing the 1920s to 2020s (Which I didn't). Then you proceeded to you compare the 1840s to the now. So don't blame me for your logic being all over the place. 😂 --" i told you that Alaska receive up to $2000 and never said it was a wage but an example of a form of UBI. " It's neither a "wage" nor a UBI. Like I said it's more analogous to a yearly bonus. People often get bonuses every year but don't rely on them for groceries or to pay rent. Entirely different than a UBI which is meant to be a monthly income put towards groceries and rent. So again, let me repeat.... There are no examples of countries implementing a UBI anywhere in the world. --"if you think rent would increase due to UBI it would be the same for raising the wage $15. Just over 2% of the population makes minimum wage. Which is entirely different than shifting the entire population's income by a $1000 each month whether they need it or not. It means that a lot of people who don't need the money will just put it towards more expensive houses, apartments, and cars. Then the market will respond (basic supply/demand). Now try actually thinking for a minute. Insulting people you disagree with is childish.

  6481. The bottom line is the NAZIS WERE NAZIS. Pretending ANYTHING the Nazi's did was related to gun control is asinine. Most other industrialized countries have had stricter gun control laws than the US for way longer than the fucking Nazi regime EVEN EXISTED they haven't somewhow turned into Nazi Germany... Sheesh. My formula for reducing homicides is to end the drug wars, mental institutions, reduce income inequality, as well as stricter gun control laws. It works for the rest of the world.

Far more "labor productivity" has been taken by CEO's & Wall Street than inflation or income tax. 3.

Yes technically white males (non-catholic, Irish, or Italian) coming from wealthy families had more "freedom", THAT'S IT. 2. No the difference is that democratic institutions are accountable to people & private institutions are only accountable to profit regardless of how it is gained (slavery, child labor, pollution, additives, war profiteering, etc.).

  6486. So let me get this straight.... You actually believe your "gun" is defense against a "predator drone"? It's statements like that which makes people like me think people like you are completely irrational and easily manipulated by emotion.

If you don't concentrate on making sure our democratic processes are sound then there will be absolutely nothing that you and your gun is going to "fix".

There is a lot of corruption in Washington, and yes, the Clintons were part of that when they were politicians, but making up corruption in order to sound neutral is dumb.

What does the Governor of NY making a bad decision have to do with voting for or endorsing for Biden? That is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard you make on the show. Furthermore nursing home deaths in NY are not higher than the national average. So there is nothing definitive indicating that Cuomo's decision led to many or even any deaths despite people assuming that it did. 4. Actually the "science" showed that protests didn't cause a spike in Covid cases because they were outdoors and mostly wearing masks. We've seen in places like Japan that universal mask wearing actually works. Saagar... You already know these answers.

I also think people who use small instances of property damage to delegitimize documented cases of police abuse, violence, systemic racism, and murder are absolute *trash*. Especially when a lot of the damage was done by people who weren't even part of the protests. You can condemn individuals for destructive acts without ignoring the issues and the decades of pain experienced in these communities.

  6503. I never said the "government is out" to get me. That's a straw man (i.e. making shit up). The government is only as good as the forces acting upon it. The founders never wanted nor intended for their to be "parties". They warned against them, but they didn't create any mechanisms to limit their influence. They also never created a "check and balance" against the influence of money over government. Those two things are the biggest obstacles against decent people & decent ideas in government.

  6514.  @rexx9496  I think you need to look at the study: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals". Which actually studied that topic, instead of just making assumptions and pretending as if I haven't done any research. The reason you still wear masks indoors is because you're still capable of spreading the virus those who are fully vaccinated show similar viral loads when exposed to the virus as unvaccinated people, even if they don't show the same extreme symptoms.
    1
  6515.  @SM-jw8xx  I'm not ignoring anything which is why I used words like "almost" and not the "same". Yes the transmission is less but only 1/3 less. This is not enough to go around making claims that you are protecting people by being vaccinated or that unvaccinated are the only ones spreading the virus. This has been an ongoing claim here for months, which is misinformation causing people who are vaccinated to think they are immune from spreading it. Yes it's easier to study transmission in a household, but I suspect if the results indicated a much lower SARS like 5% you wouldn't be questioning the results. We already know that you can reduce transmission outdoors, with masks, separation, etc. That's not what this was testing. The fact that viral loads are similar to someone who is unvaccinated tells you that the main thing reducing transmission if you're fully vaccinated is the shorter infection time. However in all other settings a fully vaccinated person who has been in contact with Covid will transmit the virus (while they are infected) just as easily as someone who is completely unvaccinated simply because the viral loads are similar. I would argue that the behavior changes of people who are vaccinated and thinking they are immune from spreading it, probably largely contributed to the spike in cases over the summer. As more and more people started to congregate.

  6516. If you look throughout history no big change ever happened overnight. Emancipation of slaves, woman's, suffrage, civil rights, New Deal, etc. Change takes years or decades to happen. And yes, things do usually get worse before they get better... So I'd expect more infrastructure collapsing, more inequality, homelessness, protests, and maybe even riots, etc. It's a shame that people are more likely to react and listen to a message of change when things are at there worst.

We're taught to vote for something based on personal beliefs instead of agreeing on strategies that can figure out whether something works or doesn't work. Today we possess the tools and technologies that could make this easy. These same tools are used to improvements in all of our products, services, how we socialize, entertain ourselves, etc. However when it comes to governance we revert back to the same mindset from 200 years ago. Then wonder why we don't have better outcomes.

So there is always the incentive for lower wages (costs), use slave labor, pollute the environment, buy off or influence politicians, and raise prices unless something stops you. When you privatize utilities that people need you promote monopolies and oligopolies and it only makes those problems worse. Democracy should be promoted everywhere. It's strange that we expect democracy from all of our governments but when it comes to multinational corporations making hundreds of billions of dollars, companies with far more power than many countries, we expect that they should be run like monarchies.

  6552. 1. I never said anything about a "gunless world". You people are brainwashed by constant propoganda into beieving anyone who suggests "sensible regulation" wants a "complete ban". I also don't want drunk drivers on the road. It doesn't mean I want to completely ban "drinking" or ban "driving". 2. We regulate nuclear weapons, missles, anthrax, and yes GUNS, because when bad/crazy people get them they can KILL FAR MORE PEOPLE than with a rock or knife. Why is that hard for you to understand?

  6554. He's got the best chance outside of anyone who isn't Trump. He was close enough to Trump to get some of that Trump advantage but also not as close as Pence, to get that Trump stink. He also has a better record of being bipartisan which I think was more hurtful in 2016, but will be more helpful in 2024. At the same time there was the whole bridge scandal and other skeletons in his closet and if he leans too far into being a jerk people may just think he's just doing his best Trump impression. Personally I think Trump is going to derail the whole GOP in 2024 and everyone is going to come out a loser 😂

  6555. Sorry Kyle, but the "Tea Party" is a really bad example.... The entire movement was coopted by the same rich donors who were funding the Republican establishment. So it was very easy for the Tea Party to infiltrate the Republican Party establishment because they could easily get funding and those same donors had already infiltrated the Republican Party establishment. In the end, the Tea Party just became about getting rid of Obamacare and more tax cuts for the wealthy.

  6556. One moment Cenk is using his old rhetoric about "telling it like it is" and "not being polite", then just before this interview on another show he's talking about how it's "unproductive" to call someone a "white supremacist" even if you know they are a white supremacists. He's literally short circuiting. It's amazing how much Cenk sounds like Joe Manchn these days. Somehow he knows how "every day people" think, but apparently other left wingers don't interact with people. 🙄 Kamala Harris didn't mention trans people once and Cenk is still going on and on about it, because people called out HIS bullshit a year and half ago. No one is going around trying to "rename women", but somehow he thinks that is a real topic in left wing circles. He's lost his effing mind. This is all about his ego and getting some of that right wing rich donor cash.

  6557. Now when I think about people like Bernie Madoff I realize they are as much VICTIMS of this system as the poor... What motivates a person to break into a house and steal is the same motivation for someone to steal billions on the stock market. If you create a society based on money and wealth. You can't be surprised when some people take that motivation to a distructive end. Money is like cocaine in our society... It destroys the poor while supporting the cartels that prey upon them.

Just one of the many who are sold on a ideolgical narrative instead of facts.

  6560. @shadowbankers Yeah because we know actually studying a problem and finding the correct solutions is not as effective as labeling something "socialist" and continuing with the exact same polcies. I agree with Ron Paul on many issues, however his ideology for economy policy has no basis in reality and has *never* been implemented sucessfully anywhere in the industrialized world. It's simply a dogma he has followed for years because he *feels* it is right.

  6561. The problem is that there are many definitions for "Anarchism" on one side there are various political ideologies which completely value "governance" and on the other side there is violence, chaos, and disorder.... A "Social Anarchist" is completely different than a government collapsing and falling into a state of "Anarchy". The problem is that when people hear the term "Anarchist" they generally think about the latter. Especially when people who call themselves that go around breaking shit.

There is a big difference between Civil Rights and Censorship. ALL other nations except for the US and New Zealand do not allow prescription drugs to be advertised directly to the consumer. It's so common in the US that people treat drugs like vitamins. Every other ad on TV is for the latest drug, it's sickening IMO.

  6565.  @Inferno361  Warren signed the progressive pledge. Tulsi didn't. Tulsi is also adopting the Buttigieg's style of healthcare plans. Tulsi has repeatedly said she is a "hawk when it comes to the war on terror" she is barely not a republican.
    1
  6566.  @alienzenx  If you're going to bring up the fact that someone changed their mind to the right position later then you might as well say: "Tulsi never took the progressive pledge until after she stopped advocating against gay rights, being against Medicare for All, and being on the fence when it comes to the use of torture"
    1
  6567.  @decolonizeEverywhere  Unlike Tulsi, Bernie speaks out against the oppression of the palestinians, Kashmirians, Venezuelans, and Bolivians. Unlike Tulsi, Bernie actually advocates for defunding the military. I suggest you actually look at Tulsi's pro israel votes and the fact that in 2015 she criticized Obama for not bombing Syria ENOUGH... She's not the person you think she is. There is a lot of war that a president can do under the guise of "fighting terrorism" and it's clear that Tulsi is not against bombing or oppressing Muslims. Which is why she has so much support of Modi in India.

  6568.  @crimsonwolf9099  Sorry, but Sanders would have lost instantly if he moved to the Green party. He would have just split the democratic vote and Trump would have won anyway. Unlike Ralph Nader, the only reason we're still talking about Sanders as a candidate today is because he played the politics correctly. There is no one in washington that has done more against wall street and exploitation than Warren. She has literally gotten back BILLIONS of dollars they stole from people though their exploitation. So you really don't know what you're talking about there. Personally I think people have these irrational visceral reactions to Warren, because she looks similar to Clinton. But her policies are way different and people need to look at her policies and her record instead of engaging in nonsense.
    1
  6569.  @alienzenx  How can you miss the fact that she was talking about a general election that hadn't happened? When she signed the pledge she wasn't taking any dark money. You're basically criticising her for thinking about doing something that she never did and isn't going to do.
    1
  6570.  @alienzenx  And yet it still didn't happen..... It's not like Warren hasn't been in favor of campaign finance reform or a constitutional amendment to ban money in politics. That is what the pledge actually says. The Pledge is about what POLICIES you support not who finances your campaign. By that definition Sanders and everyone else would also be in violation of the pledge.
    1
  6571.  @decolonizeEverywhere  What lies are you talking about exactly? She in fact did criticize Obama for not bombing Syria enough. Excuse me, but where are these quotes speaking on behalf of Muslims in Palestine or Kashmir? Having trouble finding them? Pretty easy to find it from Bernie Sanders.

  6572. The LCR has done nothing but carry the water for the republican estabolisment. I have yet to see them do anything to actually support gay rights.

  6573. The people that thought it was "ok" when Bush started indefinately detaining people because they weren't US citizens need to be slapped.... The constitution DOES NOT distinguish between citizens or not. So don't be surprised that Obama did the same and extended it to US citizens as well. The question I have is... What are they trying to hide? What are they afraid of people saying during an open trial?

  6574. I'm pretty agnostic on the issue as well. What I do know is: 1. NIST and many others describe a scenario where you have a "structural failure" from weakened steel etc. However what you won't find anywhere is explanation for the subsequent total collapse. 2. A story that got buried in the events of 911 is all the corruption in construction and the illegal shortcuts taken to make a money. Both Mayor Gulianni and Silverstein could have hidden evidence for why these buildings collapsed...

  6579. Yeah that would be correct if you didn't actually listen to the segment and instead inserted your own personal bias. Please listen for a change. Nothing was mentioned about growing "gorvernment", taking from one group and giving it to another, or empowering "government". They talked about re-evaluating current programs and making them work more effective using FACTS, and opening dialogues. This is the roadmap for any success no matter what your objective is.

Are we going to just pretend that Trump didn't want to ruin the lives of these young black men and still wanted to give them the death penalty when it was proven that they were innocent? Are we going to forget that it was Kim Kardashian who harassed Trump into freeing Alice Johnson in the first place? I know the desire to find something good to say about Trump, but you also need to call out the bullshit every time it shows itself. Alice Johnson would still be in jail if it wasn't for a pretty celebrity taking up her cause and asking Trump to release her.

  6582. Might actually mean something if young people actually went out and voted... The fact is Biden didn't get "crushed by young people" because he won. The problem is that young people don't vote in the same numbers that older people do. It's strange how you can have young people protesting all over the country for a variety of causes, and yet many don't show up to vote in the primaries or even in general election. Young people will never have power if they don't actually exercise it.

  6586.  @CitanulsPumpkin  I'm guessing that only about 25% of the Republican party are part of that cult. Whereas the rest are just following whatever right wing media tells them to vote for. As long as right wing media continues to tepidly support Trump the right wing electorate will continue to support him because he has the most name recognition. Most of these people are not voting based on issues, only perceived popularity. Not much different than the support that Biden got in the Democratic party because he was constantly being propped up by the media.

  6587. @ggadguy Thousands of businesses throughout history have abused their power for wealth, having absolutely nothing to do with "government". There are abusive organizations all around the world that also have nothing to do with "government" (powerful drug cartels, gangs, tribal lords, the KKK, etc.) Blindly taking away "government power" lead to a financial collapse, 911, and an oil spill. Politicians that talk "small government" are really just referring to the parts that protect YOU.

  6592. @TheConstitutionLives So in your mind black people choosing to eat in the front of the restaurant instead of the back is the same as breaking and entering someone's home? So they should be beaten and jailed for it?

You believe your idealogy is enlightening but in fact it's just another dogma that limits your thinking.

  6593. @ATGwrestling It had nothinmg to do with "digging". When you say something that doesn't make sense logically or factually, I'll comment. Implying something is "Human Nature" when it isn't and I'll say something. Yes all systems are flawed A perfect system for managing millions of people and resources hasn't been created. We can only take facts of what we know today and "progress". However we can't do that if people are just stuck in dogma of the system they were born into.

  6595. @ggadguy I completely agree. I wish we would reign in the war machine and focus on science, technologies, energy, etc. The sad reality is a lot of progress comes from war. Things like nuclear energy, jet propulsian, communications, even the Internet wouldn't be where they are today without war or the threat of war. However things like the NASA and the space program shows that we can invest in science and innovation without directly supporting war and the industrial complex.

  6596. It's funny how TYT supports porn for prisoners as a way of reducing violence in prison. Yet completely flip when it comes to child pornography. Should producting child porn be illegal and unsupported? Yes. However simply having it should NOT be a felony. Jst because someone watches porn doesn't mean they are going to go out and suddenly rape someone. Assuming so is irrational. We are a society that is too quick to judge when it comes to children.

  6597. This guy put forth the biggest lie at the beginning of this. There is nothing in the senate rules that says "you can filibuster". A filibuster is used to delay or obstruct any vote. It is exploiting a loophole in the rules to delay and obstruct just like the Wisconson senators did. If the shoe was on the oher foot he would be calling republican senators "patriots"

  6598. @1CreativeWriter -"I gave you evidence fool" No you didn't... And insulting people doesn't magically make you correct. At one time people didn't think there was a viable or achievable alternative to slavory. The point is people tend to stick with the ignorance they are born into. "Capitalist Utopia" is just as absurd as "Socialist Utopia" There are lots of countries more "socialist" than the US that rate higher for education, heathcare, social mobility, and "happyness".

  6599. I believe we should have aspects of direct democracy. At least the ability for the masses to easily bring up certain issues that can be decided based on a direct vote. There is no representation when washington can blatently ignore the will of the people for years when it comes to the War, War on Drugs, etc.

  6600. Hypocrisy was lost on them a long time ago. The only thing left to do is for the majority of Americans to get Trump and his sycophants out of office and show them that the Emperor Has No Clothes....

  6601. Effective propaganda is the idea that liberals are somehow in favor of complete "open borders" when they're not, so your comment really doesn't make any sense. We're in favor of practical solutions, Militarizing our border and separating families is not something we think of as a practical solution. So I suggest you begin by stop listening to the bullshit propaganda from the right and quit perpetuating the idea that just because we're against ineffective and inhuman policies that we're somehow in favor of "no rules". People who immigrate by flying business class across and ocean are in an entirely different situation than people crossing a desert on foot. If you think these people are somehow better off then you're grossly mistaken.
    1
  6602. "your giving me examples of people flying business class and other walking across deserts. Its a total straw-man argument." How is it a strawman? It is a fact that these people are in a completely different situation than student from a middle class family who "wants to go to America"? Do you not understand that? Do you not get that there are thousands of people fleeing conflict and violence? Do you not understand that someone who has an education and a the means to fly back and forth on a visa is in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT SITUATION than a family who is using their last option to survive? Your premise is complete bullshit because you clearly don't understand the basics of the immigration situation at all. Your question is in fact a "straw man", because it has absolutely zero relevancy on what we were talking about. I couldn't care less about a pregnant millionaire flying in and out of the country. Again, we are not "allowing" anything because you clearly don't even understand the immigration situation. Until you do, you're going to sound really ignorant with your arguments.

  6637. Kyle's mistake is thinking that everyone thinks in terms of issues, sorry but they don't... As much as you care about issues you're not going to change the fact that a large percentage of the electorate vote based on their feelings about a candidate. My take is that it is a GOOD THING that these ads don't talk about issues, because they would be wrong on the issues and they would be spending a lot of money misinforming people. Let these ads reflect the sentiment of the electorate and let people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren dictate the policy. I have no problem with that.

  6642. It's pretty reasonable to demonize the most recent hostility and the people still upholding those institutions. Just like it's reasonable to demonize slavery 200 years after it was brought to this continent. Understand that just because something happened long ago doesn't mean you don't get to talk about it... especially when it still impacts mindsets today. It would be like not talking about the constitution or founding fathers simply because it happened a long time ago.

  6643.  @universal1771  A large chunk of the population are only here because their ancestors were slaves. Slavery was a huge economic institution that led to a civil war, KKK, Jim Crow, Red lining, and much of he institutional bias and inequalities that exists today. So teaching it in school makes perfect sense. You having a problem with it because it involved "white people", is nothing but your own insecurities. Get over it. Facts don't care about your feelings.

  6646. I really don't respect people being undecided at this point. You need to look at context not a single vote.... Yes the Iraq war vote was bad, but guess what? 70% of the population was in favor of intervention in Iraq and if you put it up for a vote, most of the country would have voted in favor of it. The bottom lin eis is the propaganda campaign that the Bush administration had been waging for months worked. Now was Biden in favor of doubling down and staying there indefinitely like the Republicans were and everything that the Bush administration did when we were there? Of course not. As far as the crime bill, Bernie Sanders also voted for that bill, but there is "context" behind that vote now isn't there? Both Sanders and Biden tried to fix a lot of those problems over the years, meanwhile Trump calls BLM a terrorist group. If you don't understand that "context" then I really don't know what to say.

"Stand Your Ground" doesn't involve "chasing after a person" as indicated by the 911 call. If Zimmerman cannot prove otherwise then it is murder. This is why we have trials.

  6665. So your argument for why Cenk believes in "free sex for everyone" is that your parents allowed you to have sex with a 21 year old when you were 15 and Cenk disagrees with that.... mkay..... That makes zero sense. If the guy was willing to marry you then he would be willing to wait a few years before having sex with you. Just sayin... Scientifically speaking, the chances of your marriage being supper happy is just lower because your brain isn't developed yet at 15 not even at 21. So forcing someone into marriage that young just so you can have "free sex" is not wise.

If that's what you really believe. Somehow you're ignoring the fact that Trump fought against those sanctions and still fights against those sanctions even against his own party. Somehow you're forgetting that Trump hired Rex Tillerson out of nowhere. Also the Trump campaign change the GOP platform to be more pro-Russia when it was nothing that he ever campaigned on. Not to mention the fact that he refuses to even openly criticize Putin on his more egregious policies. Just because someone may have made a deal once or has been corrupted, doesn't mean that EVERY single decision that Trump makes has to be in favor of Russia... Not every vote that Clinton made was in favor of wall st or the health insurance companies. Trump is already president so he has no obligations to do everything that Putin wants him to do.

  6710. Vaccinations DO NOT stop the Delta variant from spreading. Recent studies show only a slight reduction in spread among fully vaccinated people in a household. So telling kids that they are "protecting others" by getting vaccinated is pretty much a lie... Also the amount of kids who have died from Covid is no different than the number of kids who die from the flu each year... Adults who haven't gotten Covid should get vaccinated to protect themselves, but this over the top militancy over vaccinations has gotten way out of hand.
    1
  6711.  @lduker9731  Again you are still spreading the virus regardless of your vaccination status. Educate yourself instead of just mindlessly repeating garbage. You would think after a year of talking about "asymptomatic spread" people would know that you can spread a virus regardless of your symptoms, but somehow people have fooled themselves into believing otherwise.
    1
  6712.  @lduker9731  I do understand how vaccines work. You should try reading a study on transmission of the Delta variant in fully vaccinated households, before correcting people when you don't know what you're talking about. I'm sick and tired of this misinformation constantly repeated about vaccines keeping people from spreading the virus. That isn't what they do. They reduce symptoms and shorten the period that the virus infects a person, but studies show that the viral load is the same and that vaccinated person is still walking around spreading the virus.

  6713.  @siobhanm5764  Notice how I said: "Adults who haven't gotten Covid should get vaccinated to protect themselves" Please start using your gd brain instead of mindlessly replying on auto-pilot because of a nonsense vaccine culture war. I despise Tucker.

  6714.  @siobhanm5764  The fact that you didn't even notice how I said "Adults should get vaccinated" in my comment is a perfect example of your militancy. You're not even thinking at this point. Just responding mindlessly. The pandemic still lingers because Covid is endemic. It's not going away and will be with us for years.
    1
  6715.  @lduker9731  I'm not misrepresenting anything. TYT just don't talk about recent Covid studies on this channel. Again, look at the study on Covid transmission in vaccinated and unvaccinated UK households. They show just a small reduction in transmission among fully vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people. Just because you're not manifesting symptoms of Covid does not mean you're not infected or spreading it. This is what people need to drill into their heads.... Even more important is that the transmission is greatly increased in those people who are fully vaccinated longer than 2 months. In other words, after two months people who are vaccinated are spreading Covid almost as easily as people who are entirely unvaccinated. You still get some protection from symptoms and from dying, but your viral load is nearly identical to someone who isn't vaccinated. The virus doesn't just bounce off of you and die, that's not how it works. You could be a carrier and spreading it for week or longer and not even know it.
    1
  6716.  @wadebuck69  A slight reduction is meaningless when you get a substantial reduction in transmission from wearing a mask around people. Also I didn't say Covid was the same as the flu, I said the number of children who have died from the Covid is the same or less as those who have died from the flu each year. Do you not understand the difference between those two statements? One is a general statement, the other is specifically talking about the impact of the virus on children. Furthermore it's probably been over a million Covid deaths in this country, based on all the excess deaths from people who were never tested for Covid. However that doesn't mean we react by injecting all of our kids without thinking it through.
    1
  6717.  @americanchauffeursgroup3343  Because they wanted to protect themselves from the virus. What's your point? Do you think they cared about "protecting others"? Of course not. Again, the vaccines protect you, but they do not prevent the spread of the virus.
    1
  6718.  @lduker9731  I'm pretty much the only one thinking clearly because I'm not engaged in this stupid vaccine culture war. I never said the vaccines didn't protect the people taking them. They obviously reduce symptoms and protect from hospitalization and death. However as I have said repeatedly they DO NOT stop the spread of the virus and people need to stop saying that. Furthermore all the variants (Delta, Mu, etc) ALL came from outside this country and the billions who still don't have access to vaccines. Delta came all the way from India. So if you wanted to stop variants you would have prevented the rich countries from hoarding vaccines from the Global South a year ago. We also now have a substantial animal population all around he world who are now catching and spreading Covid, so regardless of who is getting vaccinated or not Covid will continue to spread and variants will continue to be created. We will be living with this virus for years no matter what we do at this point.

  6719.  @siobhanm5764  I thought I was pretty clear in my original comment. How you decided to reinterpret my comment because of a Pavlovian response to a dumb vaccine culture war is your problem not mine. The fact that I have to repeat myself is problem with your comprehension. Again. I DID NOT SAY that vaccines did not reduce symptoms and death, nor did I say that adults should not take vaccines if they have not gotten Covid. All of those things YOU decided to interject because you're locked in a stupid vaccine culture war and apparently unable to think outside of those "teams". I commented to make one specific point that we should not lie about the vaccines stopping the spread or protecting others and you decided to turn that into something else because of an idiotic culture war where people do nothing but talk past each other..

Again, refer to the recent study entitled: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK" There is a small reduction in transmission in fully vaccinated households and that reduction is even less if you've ben vaccinated over 2 months ago. I don't have anger and vitriol. I'm the one being attack for making a factual point. You would think that as Progressives care more about facts over attacking people out of blind tribalism. My entire point is to prevent people from thinking they are not spreading virus if they are vaccinated. Which is probably why we had a huge surge over the summer because a lot of people believed this false narrative.

  6721.  @siobhanm5764  Well "culture war" is the best way of describing someone who gets triggered by someone making a comment just slightly different from the accepted tribal political narrative. Then instead trying to understand where someone is actually coming from or having a fact based conversation they instead respond with quips and insults. I see the exact same behavior from MAGA drones and it is sad to see it here.
    1
  6722.  @barneys4236  That study is a pre-print whereas the study I'm referring to has already been peer reviewed, is more recent, and has more data backing it up. Secondly I don't think you're interpreting the abstract correctly. They specifically did not say vaccinated people are "63% less likely" to transmit the virus than unvaccinated people. The study is also a bit strange as they purposely adjusted the results. They have a SAR of 22% and 13% for the unvaccinated and vaccinated groups. Then they decide to adjust the final score in the vaccinated group based on age. Maybe that's the reason why it didn't get peer reviewed. Not sure. What I'm saying is not controversial, look at the article: "Delta variant: Vaccines protect from severe disease but do not stop all transmission" The scientific community has long since acknowledged this fact. Which is why we are supposed to still wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination. It's only controversial here, because people on TYT, other news outlets, and the media keep repeating the idea that you're "protecting others" by getting vaccinated. Repeating that falsehood is only convenient for demonizing unvaccinated people, but it's not really true. At most it's only marginally protective against transmission because of the lower infection time. One thing is for sure, we know that masks are more effective at stopping transmission than a vaccine, so why are healthcare workers, who wear PPE anyways, being fired for not getting vaccinated?

  6723.  @americanchauffeursgroup3343  Such as the ignorance of people thinking they cannot spread a virus because they are vaccinated When it is factually untrue.
    1
  6724.  @barneys4236  Again I looked at the study and according to medrxiv it is a "preprint" and hasn't been peer reviewed. If you look at the comments you can see there are several problems with it. The study I provided HAS been peer reviewed. As far as the politifact article. It doesn't specify any studies. It only links to the CDC website. Notice how the CDC article says that vaccines "can reduce spread" not "do reduce spread", because the CDC can't say that for certain. I didn't say vaccines provided no added safety. I said they provide little benefit in reducing the transmission and the difference in transmission between unvaccinated and vaccinated people is almost nonexistent if you were vaccinated over two months ago. My point is tell you and everyone else that: 1. Being vaccinated doesn't stop you from spreading the virus. Repeating that claim is a lie. 2. If you were vaccinated over two months ago you transmit delta just as easily as someone who is unvaccinated. 3. Repeating claim that vaccination stops the spread is dangerous and has caused people to gather more often and probably led to the spike in cases over the summer. 4. Creating mandates to "protect others" is a policy based on a lie. 5. Wearing a mask is far more effective at reducing transmission than being vaccinated. 6. Ending this gd culture war over vaccines that only causes people to scream past each other with constant misinformation.

  6738. 100% agree with Nomi. When you have an opportunity to deliver a message, deliver a message. It doesn't matter if it's on twitter, Instagram, The View, at truck stop, or a gala. It doesn't matter if you think the message will be completely effective or not, because you really don't know. The high brow mindset that the Left has is irritating at times, basically the message is: "we don't like the idea of galas so we don't want AOC there" 🙄 Like Michael Brookes used to say "meet people were they are", and I think that can take a variety of forms it doesn't have to always be in a political setting.

  6741. Fox is the best example of selective editing & over-sensationalism in the MSM. Discussing the topic without bringing up Fox is like discussing presidential assassinations & ignoring JFK/Lincoln. O'Reilly is one of the largest offenders. He makes up facts, feigns outrage, and makes wild accusations just for ratings. Suggesting NBC intended to start a "race war" is the same nonsense... Unlike O'Reilly, Maddow actually informs viewers on the history, facts, & details of an issue with civility.

  6742. As with everything I draw the line where cost vs benefit makes sense. I'd be against items facilitating mass murder like extended magazines or automatic weapons. I'd also crack down on gun dealers/shows aiding illigal gun traffickers funneling weapons to inner city gangs. I'd make sure licenses and regulations make sense for gun owners around children. I don't have a problem with guns or even children using guns (in a countrolled environment), however regulating dangerous things MAKES SENSE

  6745. YES the reason we have a country/nation called "The United States of America" is because we formed a government. If you think "government itself" is the problem then YES you are pretty much anti-American. The difference between a reasonable person and ideologues blaming "government itself" is the idea that you can be against "parts of government" without condemning the entire concept. Otherwise you're "throwing the baby out with the bath water".

  6746. @ghiisga You're not paying attention to what I write. I said it's a lack of DEMOCRACY. I've stated that over and over and over again, but you're not listening. Can you say that any of those countries have democractic control of their governments? No. Google "Top 10 counties with the least/most corruption" and realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with "government size" or "taxes". Claiming so is no different than saying it's based on bring "brown" or "south of the equator".
    1
  6747. @ghiisga I guesss you forgot? Your first comment to me suggests we reduce corruption by reducing the size of goverment and to do that we have to reduce taxes. Yet neither in this country or amongst other countries can we see ANY relationship between "corruption" and "government size" or tax rates and tax collections as a % of GDP. The most corrupt countries in the world are third world countries that barely collect taxes. So the problem is *democracy* not taxes or any arbitruary govt sizes

  6763. So Kyle, you think the government should be able to step into any private business it wants to and fine people when they are incapable of producing a product? Basd on what law? You can make an argument against monopolies, but breaking up those monopolies should have been done long ago. The Defense Production Act outside of the context of war is primarily reactionary to a major hazard. I really don't think you want to set the precedent of the government quickly taking over a company anytime there is a recall or a president using the DPA anytime he or she thinks there could be a problem in the future. Imagine if that applied to Twitter or YouTube. "We think there is a potential danger so we're going to take over various social media companies just before an election." Also I'm pretty sure the government doesn't have people on hand to clean tanks and fix machines. Not saying that the administration couldn't have done more sooner, but this idea that the government can immediately just jump in and fix things they aren't setup to do or travel back in time and demonopolize companies is kind of setting expectations absurdly high.

  6765.  @somchai272  Let's be clear... The reason Trump has the Republican party behind him is because Fox News is behind him. Fox News is watched by nearly all Republicans. WE DON'T HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST CABLE NEWS OUTLETS IN AMERICA BEHIND PROGRESSIVES. Do you not get that? We also don't have billionaires and well funded think tanks backing progressives. Do you not get that? THAT is the game being played here. Not some imaginary "Let's be nice" kumbaya bullshit. It's about the MONEY and who controls the news cycle. This is changing with TYT and independent media. Furthermore conservatives are more authoritarian so lining up behind someone who acts strong is what they do..

  6766.  @somchai272  Well duh... That's what people are doing. That's why Cenk and others are trying to get money out of politics. TYT is growing larger and larger to be that voice for progressives. And people like Bernie Sanders are articulating the issues in a way that can reach a lot of folks. The Democratic party IS changing... They are taking up progressive issues like Medicare For All and not taking corporate PAC money. However it's not a quick process. Meanwhile the apparatus that is behind Trump, the Republicans, and corporate Democrats of low taxes for the rich, corporate cronyism, military spending, ignoring global warming, etc. has been in place for DECADES. It's going to take time to dismantle that beast.... Not to mention all the establishment democrats that have been in power for many years. Believe it or not we are still in the "Reagan Revolution" and the cold war mindset. It's going to take years to change from that.

  6768. "the inmates of an internment camp were not allowed to leave" So why would they choose to stay in a completely undeveloped area with no jobs or opportunities? Keep in mind these are families, not mountain men or Bear Grylls... The sentiment is nice, but in practice it's just not practical. Also there's really no reason for it. We already have a process for refugees. Other than placating a few xenophobes there's no benefit for creating a special place for immigrants unless you want to create an apartheid, Gaza Strip, Indian reservation type situation. There aren't any long term upsides to segregating people.

  6769. "Something wrong with that quote?" Umm yeah. Let me repeat. If they are allowed to leave then "why would they choose to stay in a completely undeveloped area with no jobs or opportunities?" If they are not allowed to leave then it is effectively a prison. No different than Interment Camps, Gaza Strip, etc. You're basically trying to come up with a solution solely to make people feel comfortable with their bigotry... There really isn't any other reason for it. And as we've learned many times in history, the more you segregate people the more you feed bigotry and hate. People also thought they were solving things Apartheid, Jim Crow, Redlining, Gaza, etc., but it didn't solve anything, it only created more problems.

They do not coming here to live in huts in the middle of a nature preserve and treated like pariah's. Again... You don't create a policy to appease a few bigots, which is all you're suggesting. The "imperfect solution" is the one we have *today*. What you're suggesting is segregation and apartheid which is literally going backwards in history. Speaking of segregation, black people put up with racist assholes for hundreds of years in this country. They fought for decades to get the same rights as others. To be able to live where they want, shop and eat where they want, get the same education, have access to the same jobs. In many cases that fight is still going on today. You're trying to bring back those same asinine policies that only lead to oppression. Since when do the opinions of a few bigots mean more than the lives of a people and their children?

It doesn't undertake large infrastructure endeavers. Only large multi-billion dollar corporations profit from investing in any scientific research.

  6792. Recent studies have shown that someone who is fully vaccinated can transmit the virus almost as easily was someone who is unvaccinated. This is especially true if it's been over two months since you've been vaccinated, because that protection of not showing any symptoms wanes very quickly after two months even if it protects you from hospitalization. So if you work in a hospital and you're required to wear masks/PPE anyway. I don't see how being vaccinated offers any additional protection from transmitting Covid than the PPE you're wearing anyway. If you haven't already had Covid, you would be better off getting vaccinated for your own personal protection, but I don't see the logic of forcing people who are already wearing PPE to get vaccinated.

  6799. Thom... You're exaggerating to the point of spreading misinformation. 30% of people report symptoms after covid. However, the most common symptom is not erectile dysfunction or dementia... Those are not even "common" symptoms for "long covid". Although men do have an increased likelihood of brief or long term erectile disfunction after Covid it is rare and not anywhere close to being as likely as you're making it out to be. Also, there are in fact people who can't catch covid. I forget the name/place of the study, but some nurses were found to be completely immune to covid, the theory being that they were exposed to so many other coronaviruses that SARS COV-2 just bounced off them even though they didn't have specific antibodies to the Covid spike protein. Covid can indeed be a serious illness, but the left has spent far too long fighting right wingers on the pandemic. They are now starting to fear monger and spread misinformation just to make a point... Constantly going overboard like this is not helping us politically, we need to stop with this insanity already.

  6800. It's not just calories, it's the quality of those calories. Travel to Europe and you'll realize how fat Americans are compared to other countries. Yet because of the successful lobbying of Monsanto and other large food companies, Americans don't realize how shitty our food is. Fixing a "societal problems" doesn't mean telling you what to eat. It can mean getting rid of "food deserts", supporting local food producers, good *quality* food, and making cities more walkable, bikeable, etc.

  6801. @sikorski1337 Generalize much? Exactly what mold are you talking about that the vast majority fall into? Do you have poll data to back up this claim or it a simple gut feeling based on nothing? Look, humans are pretty much the same genetically all over the world. The main factors making us different come from our envionrment. So pointing a finger at another group and claiming some inherant laziness or entitlment is just as asinine as pointing at yourself in the mirror.

  6802. @megagagnon1 Once again, deflecting. The subject is "unions" NOT "NAFTA". You might as well prove that coffee makes you fat by saying "you gain weight by eating donuts" You assert that "unions are detremental to the middle class" without producing a shred of evidence to support it. Which indicates your assertions are based on idealogy or "gut feelings" Once again "let's unionize everything" is a classic strawman. The same as: "If water is good for us, we should live in the ocean right?"

  6803. You said you expected the people at the company to "apologize". How is that not expecting people to apologize who weren't even born during Nazi Germany? If you're claiming that the act of selling something to the government is being a war profiteer. Then yes that is hyperbole. It diminishes real "war profiteers" who push the war machine forward through arms deals, mercenaries, developing weapons, loaning money to warlords, and buying off politicians to start wars and receive no bid contracts.

  6805.  @jordanbetteridge1598  No, it actually confirms my argument... The fact that there were lesser crack downs that lead up to using emergency powers against protestors, is pretty much the epitome of a "slippery slope". We should all be concerned with the sudden rise in authoritarianism coming from the "right" and "left" being used against the "right" and "left". It is a really disturbing trend.

  6806. 3. Most people who buy rap/hip hop albums are white same goes for death metal, punk, emo, etc. Again, your "opinions" on music or otherwise are not based on science. It is just as stupid to compare blacks in a wealthy suburb to poor whites living in the hills of Virginia and think the difference is because of race. If you don't understand the science behind things and instead rely on your "feelings" you're going to go through life racist & ignorant. We're all products of our environment.

  6807. Nearly all domestic terrorism in this country has come from the Right wing since Trump was elected. There was literally a trump supporter mailing bombs to people. Meanwhile Antifa hasn't killed a single person. They simply fight against the racists and fascists that you guys have no problems protecting.
    1
  6808.  @isaacazminov8733  I'm sure this Trump supporter is "making america great", by punching old men in the face. I'm sure Fox News will cover this all week just like they did that journalist right? Of course not,. They'll ignore it just like all the dozens of people who died in right wing acts of terrorism.

  6810.  @DirtyRedMuzik  What the hell does Pulse Nightclub and San Bernardo have to do with "left wing"? Are you just picking anything that isn't a white guy and pretending that it's "left wing"? Seriously? What the hell is wrong with you?....wow. You can pick as many "examples" as you want but it doesn't change the FBI data that shows that nearly all acts of domestic terrorism in the past 2 years comes from the right wing. Nor does it change the 30% increase in hate crimes since Trump was elected. Nor does it change all of these white supremacists and white supremacists leaders who are supporting Trump because they identify with his hatred of immigrants and minorities. Just own up to reality already and stop with the BS. There are people dying and living in fear and you want to play games.
    1
  6811.  @DirtyRedMuzik  I did address what you wrote, but my comment got ghosted from youtube. It's the same issue of you believing anything that isn't from a white guy is "left wing". The guy in Dallas hated BLM and was a black nationalist (not much different than a white nationalist). Also the guy from Antifa attacked a BUILDING, not people. A typical right winger will go out of their way to kill as many people as possible, just like that dude at Walmart. Sorry, but It doesn't take "strength" to buy a gun and kill a bunch of people in a crowd. You must have a real messed up sense of morality if you actually think killing people is "strength"...

  6812. ​ @isaacazminov8733  Yeah the FBI data shows that clearly just google "domestic terrorism right wing" and you can find studies that look at 2017 and 2018. --"Ill bet you are just assuming that they didnt without even checking, right? " I actually did check and I didn't find any stories.... You can find several from Fox on the journalist that got beat. Laura Ingraham, Hannity, etc. all did multiple stories on the journalist. but I didn't see any on this attack.... --"The fact remains that TYT didnt cover the antifa beating of that journalist," They did cover it... 😂 Funny how you did the thing that you accuse me of. It's always "projection" when it comes to you guys... ALWAYS... 😂
    1
  6813.  @isaacazminov8733  Yeah it says a lot when you do one search and find nothing and you do another search and find 3 or 4 stories from Fox talking about the journalist. Clearly they focused on that story for a long time. Furthermore I never said they never covered this story I said they won't be covering it all week like they do with pretty much any story on Antifa. In other words they're more than happy to spread propaganda specifically on Antifa while ignoring the brutality and murder that comes from the right. Dude I gave you the google search. it really shouldn't take you long to find if you actually care.... There is even a clip from the FBI director testifying before congress on the fact that most domestic terrorism is driven by White Supremacists. Specifically the people who Antifa is fighting against. The video is: "Conservatives Accuse Activists Of Throwing "Concrete Milkshakes"" At the 2 minute and 4 minute mark both hosts condemn the violence. Now where is the Fox News clip covering this 61 year old getting beat by a Trump supporter and where is ANYONE at Fox condemning the violence from Trump supporters? 🤔

  6814. Sorry, but you guys are in a serious bubble if you think "There is no proof Russia had any involvement".

  6816. @eagles980 Your response doesn't make any sense... My argument however does. Once again. Being agnostic doesn't mean you "believe" in the possiblity of anything in *any* religious text or Santa Clause or Spaghetti Monster. It simply means you acknowledge that the nature of existance is unknown and unknowable at this time. Which also means that I cannot know for certain that something resembling a "diety" could exist.

  6817. Revenge has no place in civil society. Just look at statistics if you think that violent punishment has any substantial effect on violent crime... The reasons why people commit crimes has little to do with the consequences they may face. It has to do with socio-economics, culture, and other psychological forces that effect the human condition.

  6819. The intro brought back so many memories of me going to AOL, to playing around with UseNet forums and discovering "the internet", to a dialup provider, to Netscape & HTML, to JavaScript, to various small search engines, to Google and what we know today. There have been so many internet protocols over the years. Some take off, but most of them have failed or become obsolete in a few years.

  6820. The consolidation of corporate power and money is far more influential and dangerous. The reason we have people like Soros, Epstein, Bezos, Sheldon Adelson, etc. in the first place is because over the decades we've lowered taxes on the rich and allowed them to consolidate money and become powerful.... The only direct power from socialism is our military, the president can randomly kill people and threaten other countries with that power. So our military industrial complex needs to be far smaller than it is. Other than that there is no real "power" from highways, parks, libraries, post offices, public schools, or health insurance, that is nothing more than a silly scare tactic.

  6821.  @LionMartell  First off the markets crashed far more often before the Fed.... I'm no fan of the Fed, but if you're going to make an argument about market crashes then you should know basic history. Everything else you mentioned has absolutely no relationship to the gold standard or the Fed. Also I have no idea what "You" you're talking about. There are lots of countries with super low taxes and little to no "socialism", they are called 3rd world countries. Everyone else figured out that providing essential infrastructure to people, makes a society flourish. Then there are the people who benefit greatly from socialism their entire life, but pretend everything they have was all create by magic. They also pretend that just because some bad things are done through the government, then it must be all bad. Meanwhile they never have to think about getting dysentery from a diseased water supply.

  6822. 1. If you think you can live without government then you can try Afghanistan, Somalia, etc. A Wariord also considers himself a king, their own individual, that defends themselves and their rights. 2. All greed and corruption stems from money and markets. You can't argue for freedom of markets and be dissapointed when someone uses that fredom to buy politicians and buy influence. 3. Corruption happens in small and big governments. A government "of the people" is what is most important

  6823. The biggest farce perpetuated by think tanks controlling right wing media is this idea of "Big Government".... "Big Government", "Socialism" are nonsense abstract terms meant to frighten people no different than the "boogey man" for children. In reality everyone wants and should strive for EFFECTIVE government. Whether a government is large or small doesn't matter as long as it performs it's duties in an effective and efficient manner leading to the most optimal outcomes for its people.

  6824. 4. Again, you completely missed the point of WALL-E...

  6826. The explanation is pretty simple Kyle... Fox News caters to old people and old people are more likely to get their news from TV instead of the internet. "The left" typically has a younger audience and they are more likely to get their news from the internet. I would probably even argue that even older people on the left are more likely to their news/media from the internet because they're more open minded to change. You say the same thing over and over Kyle... Not everything is because of CNN's neutrality or MSNBC catering to the establishment (Fox does the same thing quite frankly) The bottom line is that they are in a dying industry, but because of Fox's demographic they are going to be the last to die. You literally have old people who leave their TVs on fox all day whether they are even home or not. Same reason why TYT grew so much on YT because that audience is bigger. Same reason why Glen Beck failed on the internet because his old audience from Fox was never going to follow him there.

  6827. Sure.... Never mind the fact that Barr literally LIED on television about what was in the Mueller report, before it was released. Then proceeded to hide much of the information that was in it. Never mind Barr orchestrating secret federal agents kidnapping and tear gassing protestors (and even Church goers). But since Barr did ONE NORMAL THING on his way out suddenly he's "complicated" figure. Give me an effing break.

  6829. The trend is definately in the favor of gay equality, but if Ana thinks we are over the hump she is grossly naive..... History shows that it doesn't take much for society to devolve into hate and xenophobia. ESPECIALLY in a poor economy. Before 911 who would have thought muslims would be the target of hate crimes an demonization? Just because the people around you....IN LA... are more open minded doesn't mean it's the same for the entire country. Cenk is right, this is no time to relax.

  6830. Are you fucking naïve Kyle?... The North Korean regime thrives on a perpetual "cold war" with the US. Anyone who has looked at North Korea over the years knows that THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THEY MAINTAIN A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP.... For YEARS they have made shit up with fantastic tales of Kim Jong Il & Un while pretending that the US eats babies just to keep their population under control... The idea that they are doing this constant propaganda against their own people because they're just scared of the US is ridiculous. Wake the fuck up and realize that the US is not somehow the ONLY country that has bad intent in the world. If you thought that the president flying over and shaking hands was going to somehow change everything then I'm sorry, you're fucking naïve.... Honestly why do you think US presidents didn't meet with North Korean leader before? Because people knew that was obvious that Kim Jong Un would use this event for more propaganda within his own country and then break the agreement later. Why? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE. The regime THRIVES on conflict, so if you want to actually change the situation in North Korea you're going to have to have another incentive other than "let's be nice", because "being nice" isn't good for a military dictatorship.

  6833.  @jstreets1983  Well that was my point. Looking at everything in terms of "sides" and "teams" is entirely counterproductive and only leads to dumb debates leaving no room for people attempting to discuss nuances.

  6834.  @jstreets1983  It's a personal choice to have an open mind or not. If you're the type who cannot look at new information and come to a different conclusion, or you must be in a "camp" and never deviate from that group's dogma, then that's a general mindset that has nothing to do with the policies surrounding vaccines. My choice is to not live that way. My choice is also to not look at the world in terms of made up "teams". All we can do is be the change we wish to see in the world.

  6835.  @jstreets1983  My mind has changed many times on various topics. If you think "minds don't change", you're only talking about yourself, sorry. Furthermore, you actually have no idea where I stand on much of anything. You're only assuming it based on the prenotions you have. You've basically programmed yourself to only look at people in terms of A team and B team, or "right" and "wrong". As if the world is simplistic enough to only have two sides on anything. You've created a false dichotomy for yourself. I have nothing to prove, other than the facts that I already stated earlier. As far as the "team sport" mentality, you're ample proof enough that this is a problem in our society.

  6836.  @jstreets1983  It's really not my fault that I was forced to repeat myself because you clearly didn't understand what I said. I already told you in my first responses to you that the virus transmits almost as well if you're unvaccinated vs vaccinated and that was with Delta. This is based on a UK study looking at transmissibility in vaccinated and unvaccinated households. With Omicron it's far worse, so arguing about transmissibility for these mandates is mostly irrelevant. There's nothing mythical about referring to research and studies.

  6837. @ggadguy Look at it logically. Yes the debt is an issue, but it pails in comparison to unemployment. Less people employed means less taxes more deficit and less consumer spending. Furthermore cutting government programs also means cutting jobs. Cutting the military suddenly mean another couple hundred thousand americans are out of work. You need to replace those cuts with things like large infrastructure projects or research so that some of those people will have jobs to come home to.

  6838. @luckyStrike89ru I'd really like some examples of your claim that liberals basing their views on emotions.... Unless you somehow feel that the "animal rights" movement is a liberal position. Which it isn't. However when you look at abortion, gun rights, fear of government, fear of muslims (building mosqes or a muslime comminity center near ground zero) Not to mention the many "neo conservative" positions advocating the war in Iraq, torture, war with Iran all based on a fear....

  6839. 1. The idea that money is required to have "goals" is absurd. 2. Society can not "reform" as long as it is ruled by money. Laws, regulations, political parties don't matter as long as a profit motive provides an incentive for corruption. There hasn't been a time in history where this hasn't been the case. 3. Some entrepreneurs do simply push money around, while others have a drive to get their ideas out regardless of money. Many ideas die because people cannot get the funds to work on them.

  6840. The idea that crime can be magically reduced by "seasoned investigators", "moral of officers", "sentiment" and the other arbitrary BS metrics this guy is pulling out of his ass as an argument is absurd. Crime is far more correlated to economic conditions. During the lockdowns, economic conditions were bad. Now economic conditions are good. Pretty easy to figure out dude.
    1
  6841. @ggadguy It also increased the GDP by 500 billion. As I said most Econimists were screaming for a much larger stimulus and that a weak stimulis would not have the multiplier effect needed to kick start the economy. 40% of the stimulus package was tax cuts. So that goes to your "give power to the masses" theory. I'd say those tax cuts had the same effect as the 8 years of tax cuts before it... In other words did nothing except raise the deficit even more.

Probably not, all most people know is that they were terrorists that deserved to be killed I can give you a hundred examples of how violent people accomplished nothing except being called criminals then killed or thrown in jail. However there are hundreds of examples where non-violent actions changed entire nations. Violence is only for those idiots that history forgets.

  6857. You can get immunity through vaccination as well as from a prior infection (i.e. natural immunity). Which is backed up by science. I don't know why the left ignores this and only lets the right use this talking point.
    1
  6858.  @jesusdidntcharge143  I have and the immunity is long lasting. Multiple studies (Lancet, recent Israeli study, study in Thailand) with thousands of subjects show lasting immunity to Covid.. And the most recent study showing that Infection is up to 13 times higher in vaccinated people than people with natural immunity to the original Covid strain. People who are getting "breakthrough infections" are mostly people vaccinated not people who had Covid already. So you should take your own advise and do actual research instead of just repeating the talking point you think you're supposed to say. It's like suddenly people don't understand how vaccines even work. You do realize that all vaccines do is simulate an infection so that your body can build antibodies to it right? However the mRNA vaccines are just simulating the spike proteins which is showing to be a little less effective than someone recovering from a full spectrum infection of the virus.

  6859. Nuclear weapons are also inanimate objects, but no one is dumb enough to think that having one in every household makes things safer.

I can easily tie guns to children getting slaughtered all over this country. Literally thousands die every years. Hundreds of kids die by "accident" from simply having a gun in the home. Can you come up with a SINGLE example of the existence of a trans person somehow hurting people? Or does it just feel good to hate people who are different?

  6864. SJWs aren't to blame.... It's the people who conflate "Social Justice" with "political correctness" and purity. It's the people who say if you take a joke picture pretending to grope someone's breasts then it's the same as a serial rapist or someone pressured into sex in order to keep their job. It's the "thought police" who pretend it's just as important to publically prosecute someone who had an unsavory thought once as it is to put an end to the rampant rape of women in the military. There is REAL social justice and then there is the pretend social justice that cares more about what is "offensive" than the real impact on woman or minorities.

Republican presidents like Roosevelt & Eisenhower were pushed into much more progressive economic policies. "trust busting", massive conservation, or the sweeping changes under the New Deal would never happen today. Labor has always been under attack but we had strong unions and labor reforms like child labor laws, minimum wage, etc. Also would never happen today.

As far as cannibalism you're talking about the state of nature versus society. In nature it's kill or be killed. In society we use laws to balance freedom and liberty with the greater good. For example we can dink alcohol, but we restrict drinking while driving because it jeapardizes the safty of others.

  6875. Democracy only works effectively if you give as much equal opportunity to voices and opinions as possible. Representative Democracy is a compromise to allow a few *elected* voices to represent many constituents. An Oligarchy or Aristocracy is when you allow a few by virtue of money have the biggest voices and greatest influence. People who run corporations aren't democractically elected and don't represent the will of the people only their company's profit. This is antithetical to democracy.

  6876. @luvcheney1 HK GDP = 210 Billion, US GDP = 14 Trillion. WTF are you talking about again? China's economy will surpass the US in less than 5 years. Yes people travel all over the world for better opportunities...What's your point? What does that have to do with "culture"? Americans also travel to other countries for opportunities as well. I have friends that live in other countries because of that. The world is a lot less black and white when you work facts instead of bullshit propoganda.

  6878. 1. It is completely invalid to take a few hundred murders in a handful of cities and extrapolate that to the 11-12,000 firearm homicides a year. 2. It is sad to somehow believe that a person who is arrested for "possession of drugs" (the most common arrest charge in the US) deserves to be murdered. 3. Those websites are not peer reviewed studies.... They simply try to "demonizing the other" (i.e. minorities and criminals) in order to pass blame which is a very ugly thing.

To add: 1. There are no stable industrialzed nations without a substantial commons. 2. Any complex capitalist system has an issue with "alienation". This is why Libertarians use very simplistic examples that may have worked in the middle ages, yet NEVER address this fundemental flaw in today's world.

  6892. 1, Again, studies clearly show that more guns per capita leads to more homicides. As proven by UK, Australia, Japan, etc. Choosing to ignore studies because you don't want to" believe" is a really childish attitude. 2. Switzerland has far stricter gun laws than the US. They tightly control ammunition and require male citizens to join and train in the militia to own many types of guns. 3. Sorry, this isn't my "logic".

  6900. Nah, the future is electric unicycles. You just don't know it yet. I built myself an e-bike like 10 years ago. I thought it was amazing until I got an electric unicycle and never touched it again. When it comes to urban transportation electric unicycles are superior in every way. Less moving parts, less to maintain, no chains, more portable, and less theft to worry about because you bring it with you in most cases. The biggest problem with electric unicycles is people not knowing how to ride them, and the only reason bikes and scooters are popular is because people learned how to ride them when they were kids so it's easy to make that transition. However, at some point that won't be the case. It may take a decade or more, but as these things become more mainstream and adopted by kids more eventually that learning curve won't be a factor.

  6908. Trump regularly called the press "the enemy of the people", motivated shootings at press offices, and banned press who was asking questions he didn't like. Pretending this is somehow the same or similar is about the most absurd thing I've heard all year. The tendency to "both sides" everything in order to sound neutral is absolutely insufferable. Biden made ONE attack on Doocy months ago and immediately called Doocy to personally APOLOGIZE, and suddenly it's the same as the daily antagonism that the Trump white house had for the press. Now we're talking about a "deplorables" comment that Hillary made 6 years ago? The fact that you have to go back 6 years and talk about a comment made by a person who lost the election and isn't even in politics anymore should tell you how far you're reaching for this "both sides" nonsense.

  6909. 1. Your proficiency at creating red herring arguments & hypotheticals amazes me. However to give a small response to your complete hypothetical.... Google "Equality Trust".

  6911. No it isn't "implied" that is just your misunderstanding. The constiution places restrictions on the Federal government. The 5th amendment explicitly says "person" not "citizen" for A REASON.

Your citizenship isn't supposed to be a "get out of being assasinated" free card.

Lastly no one ever said anything about "taking guns away from good people".

  6921. Well as progressives we should also be consistent, instead we decided to get roped into a nonsense vaccine a culture war.... Saying "we've had mandates before" is not a real argument, we had slavery before, that doesn't magically make it "okay". Especially when it's been clearly shown that vaccines don't significantly reduce transmission of the Delta variant. I think it's really dumb for progressives to be constantly putting the message out there of being okay for people to get fired over mandates. It's incredibly dumb messaging to the working class and it is has created an opening for the right wing to be more sympathetic. Keep fighting against misinformation over vaccines, but putting yourself on the record over and over that it's okay to fire people for not getting vaccinated is putting ourselves in a horrible position.

If you can't make a logical argument, then don't simply make up what you want to argue against.

I don't automatically assume that my culture and my way is the best way.

The key is finding joy in what you do every day and live your life with purpose

  6931. 08:45 The fact that they're supporting Trump means that Republicans don't actually know who is closest to them on issues. Trump hasn't run on any "issues" since 2016. So you're only jealous over the fact that they are willing to lie to themselves.

  6932. You're assuming that DeSantis is even planning on running... The smart play would be to sit out the next election. If Trump wins, DeSantis loses nothing. If Trump loses, DeSantis loses nothing. If that's his plan then getting into a direct fight with Trump doesn't gain him anything right now. Whereas capitalizing on "Trumpism" until 2028 gives him all the advantages and none of the downsides. The only reason he's not saying "I won't run" is because Trump may get indicted before the race begins.

It would be absolutely moronic to limit the societal systems today to the knowledge and understanding of people 200 years ago.

  6935. Honestly if the message from the Trump administration was more credible, you wouldn't have to rely on the media creating their own narrative. If it wasn't for the media (and even social media) people wouldn't have started wearing masks earlier before it was official policy. There has always been sensationalism in media, that's how they make money. The only difference today is the war that the administration started waging on the media directly and the media's response to that war. It's basically a war of attrition that you guys are also a part of because it's a lot of what you talk about. The media talking about nonsense is no worse than alternative media talking about the media talking about nonsense.

  6937.  @domestique3954  So do you think that making up stories about me makes you seem like a good person? 🤔 The fact that word "truth" is in opposition to the word "lie" doesn't automatically mean that everyone on the planet lies. That's not how things work, nor does it make you sound profound. Stop trying to justify bad behavior, whether it comes from you or Tucker Carlson. It's not a good look.
    1
  6938.  @domestique3954  Clearly you are willing to make things up to make a point. So lying is not out of the question for you. Actually I'm generally pretty honest about how I'm feeling. So when people ask how I'm doing I generally say "good", "fine". or "so so" depending. If I don't want to talk about what's bothering me I just say "I don't want to talk about it", but that's me. The fact is it takes some degree of courage to be honest with yourself and honest with the people around you. The easiest and weakest way out is to become a pathological liar so that anytime your political ideas are questioned you lie in order to make up for it. People like Trump, Tucker Carson, Hannity, etc. are perfect examples of that. They are disgusting people who promote lies and mistruth just to feel good about themselves and their identity.

  6939.  @domestique3954  Or maybe you say and do other things to make your wife happy instead of lying about silly things? Maybe you have the kind of relationship that doesn't depend on something as silly as liking a certain skirt as much as she does? Look, I'm not saying that people don't do these things on occasion (I really don't), but to suggest that it happens all the time means you have a real problem.... Someone who does it all the time is really a coward who is unable to face people. They use lies as a crutch or for personal gain. I've known people who say "white lies" all the time and they've always turned out to be not very good people. They'll say one thing to me and say something completely different to someone else. They'll pretend (or lie to themselves) and say it's to "be nice" or to save someone's feelings, but in reality it's about control and manipulation.

  6940.  @mattlamb8949  There is a big difference between lying 3 years ago and feeling bad about it. vs lying regularly in order to make an argument and anytime you're cornered in an argument as Tucker Carlson just admitted to. Yet for some reason people feel compelled to justify this type of lying. It's pretty insane how easily people convince themselves that bad things are actually good and I have no problems judging people who do that. If you think the fact that people "lying at some point" somehow justifies a person lying to their audience about dangerous and "dirty immigrants" or letting people die from Covid and fake cures for Covid, or slandering people they don't like using made up conspiracies. Then I can't help but think you're not a good person.

He may be "wrong" on certain issues, but that doesn't mean he's purposely being disingenuous. What TYT is doing here is attacking people with more popular platforms. They're also not investigating the facts properly and misrepresenting information presented. I'm sorry, but as soon as you start misrepresenting facts, you're in grifter territory. As much as I like TYT, they're starting to also venture into grifter territory, and I really don't like it. When you accuse someone over and over of taking "hose paste" when they didn't do that, you're acting like a grifter. When you pretend that what Joe Rogan said was wrong when it comes to young people and myocarditis, when more current studies actually support what he said, then you're acting like a grifter.

I DID care when Ivanka and Jared raked in over HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in deals with foreign investors while they acted like white house aids. Or the Chinese patents that went to Ivanka while her daddy was in the middle of a trade war with China. Yet somehow we're supposed to care about Hunter Biden selling a painting? GTFO...

  6955. ----"it can negatively effect anyone, not just public figures. " *IF* that happened *THEN* we can discuss it as an issue. Creating a law for a scenario never shown to have existed is rediculous. Progressives use facts not emotional gut reactions. The fact of the matter is celebreties get photoshopped because people care about celebreties. They don't care about "Tina from accounting". Furthermore for *individuals* we already have laws they're called "slander" and "defamation".

  6956. Sorry Cenk... Chris Mathews was keeping it real LONG before you got to MSNBC. Whether it was Bachman, Palin , Cheney, etc. Yes he loves politics and reporting "the game" and he's been doing it for a very long time. However as long as I've watched him he's ALWAYS been blunt and told anyone what he felt right to their face... He did the same thing with the Tea Partiers, the birther nonsense, etc. It's not Chris Mathews that's changed, it's the GOP that's just gotten crazier.

  6957. The problem with Bill & Don is the idea that pointing fingers & judging somehow fixes problems... Not everyone gets to grow up in a nice suburb, attend nice schools, go to college, and have plenty of opportunities. Obviously someone growing up isolated in a world of poverty, violence, etc. is not going to have YOUR perspectives. Bill & Don need to realize that it is NOT about ”personal choice” but rather opportunities, education, income, (i.e. the *environment*) which shapes those choices.

  6959. 1. I know what "Nazi" stood for. What YOU don't get is that there were multiple "sociallist" parties in Germany. The point of Hitler's party was "nationalism". Hiter HATED the socialist AND communist parties in Germany. He identified with the facists in Italy. 2. Clearly you have no idea what "socialism" is. You're simply repeating the proganda the oligarchy uses to brainwash idiots. You're describing "taxes" which have been part of every government since humans started creating governments.

  6960. @ghiisga You have a pre-ccoupation with "where money goes". As if somehow a corrupted state govt with money is better than a corrupted federal govt with money. When it's obvious based on data in this and other countries that taxes as a % of GDP has no relationship with government efficiency. The monopoly money you hold HAS NO VALUE outside of the government that gives it value. As long as you ignore these facts you'll be nothing more than an election pawn manipulated by fabricated issues.

  6961.  @sudazima  Regardless of subsidies. Nuclear power is several times the cost per KW than solar, period. That number is going to get even better in the future for Solar as cells are getting more and more efficient. 5 years for a nuclear plant (being SUPER optimistic) Meanwhile you can build a solar farm in a few months... Not only that but every building in a city can hold solar panels. I'll never be able to put a nuclear reactor on my roof or in the basement... I don't know where you're getting the GHG emissions from Nuclear, but I doubt that it takes into account construction, maintaining, and decommissioning a plant as well as the process of mining and enriching uranium. Nor all the water vapor released from all the water it uses and raising the temperature of the ocean water surrounding it. A single nuclear plant in FL has killed THOUSANDS of sea turtles most nuclear plants damage any sea life around them. Given the current and real threat of climate change, YES I would prefer nuclear over coal. However I haven't heard any real compelling arguments that would cause me to prefer nuclear over solar. Given the ease of setup for solar and wind I would think it would be far easier for 3rd wold countries to switch over as well. We cannot reasonable expect a small remote village in Africa to setup a nuclear power plant. However solar panels and wind turbines are making differences in those places. Solar and wind democratizes energy, Nuclear keeps it in the hands of a few.

  6962. You don't understand a "weak analogy" fallacy. You should Google it. However to restate your comment it would be more like: "I say we should not X, because of past results of Y; then you say something like -- but those people were bad Z-ers" In the case of a weak analogy XYZ are completely unrelated. You falsely try to manufacture equivalence in order to build a "red herring" argument when there is absolutely no equivalence between those things.

  6963. "78 and made it to what?" Well Cenk living your life healthy isn't just about living long... it's about having a good quality of life and being active well beyond your 70s. Believe it or not eating nutty bars and ice cream isn't quite as enjoyable as you miight think it is. Your body craves things just like any other substance that give it a "high" Once you get used to more natural foods, you may find that most of that heavily processed crap is rather tasteless and dull.

  6964. I pounded the gavel during Trump's NABJ interview.... It's been clear for awhile that he didn't have anything and doesn't have the ability to turn the ship around. All Kamala had to do was prove she was competent and not falling apart on stage and she did that. Keep in mind that even if Netanyahu starts a bigger war it's not a guarantee that it will tank Biden, let alone Kamala. A president during a time of war can be a powerful thing as we learned with George Bush. There's just as good of a chance for it to raise Kamala's profile even more with all the attention it gets.

  6966. @ggadguy First repeat after me: "The Industrial Revolution had NOTHING to do with Taxes" Second... The problem is that you're tyring to force fit the world into a myopic world view. There are situations where government spending, taxes, regulations, wars can help an economy and there are situations when it doesn't. Many times it has nothing to do with government, but rather natural resources, location, or luck. Yet your religion says that it must be taxation regardless of actual history.

  6967. I'm speaking about the movement in general terms as largely supported by the Cato institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the Koch Brothers. OF COURSE that doesn't represent every person calling themselves "libertarian" however it does represent most policies pushed under the guise of libertarianism and "free markets" Rand outright lies about global warming & alternative energy to support his coal backers. Ron Paul's tax policies do nothing except give more wealth (power) to the oligarchy.

  6968. @bauti1811 You prove my point by reponding to my post by throwing a tantrum. Getting emotional and Insulting someone because they criticise your religion is a symptom of not having a strong foundation to begin with. "free" is relative. If I can drive from coast to coast on a federal highway system. I certainly feel more "free" than if I had to pay tolls every few miles. If I'm a black man unable to buy what I want from local shops around my home I don't feel "free" either.

  6969.  bongo155  The polls aren't set up to account for "crazy" and Florida has a lot more crazy.... I don't think it's something you can quantify. or measure. I think a lot of Trump's vote was made up of the crazy who normally don't participate and people who aren't very political and found Trump entertaining. I have a close friend who is pretty much not very political and every once in a while I would send her something crazy that Trump said and she would laugh because it was funny and also partially agree with it and respect his "gumption" and willingness to fight for himself. I was completely perplexed by this reaction... The sad fact is a lot of Trump's repetition and showmanship resonates with low information voters... My friend didn't care to vote because she wasn't going to get healthcare either way. so it didn't matter to her. The rest of the millions who voted for Biden were people who turned out to save our democracy... So THANK GOODNESS there were millions of additional people willing to turn out to save our country.

  6970. @BoyNamedAbe In 29 years the program won't be COMPLETELY paying for itself. Which means we have 29 years for the government to put back the money it STOLE and make slight adjustments to the payroll tax. That's it. If I borrow money from a bank, then get into a car accident and because of all my medical bills I can't afford my payments. Does that mean I no longer owe that money? We need to remember why SS was created in a the first place how our society has benefited from it.

  6971. Agree with Ana. If that is the law then you can't wear shirts indicating who or what to "vote" for. It's pretty simple. Also, she showed up at the polls and they gave her a jacket to wear. So what? Who is actually making this into a big deal? I'm guessing conservatives and bible thumpers.... Because in reality this is a non story.

  6972. Obama Obama Obama... Cenk, understand that Obama is not "King". There is in fact a congress where all legislation goes through. Of course there are problems with Obama however you have a tendency of over-simplifying complex situations. Your rantings are starting to sound a little like Alex Jones where he takes a few facts and details to reinforce a crazy narrative that he repeats over and over. I'd rather you spend more time detailing the legislative process than ranting about "Obama"..

  6976. Now that I've finally watched Hurt Locker... It definately was a good movie, characters, felt very real. As far as difficulty "directing" it's really hard to say. I guess it comes down to how you define "directing". Right or wrong the estabolishment probably doesn't consider all the technical work and effects that went into Avatar as "directing". I'm sure there is a bias towards old school camera/film as opposed to CG and the camera work in Hurt Locker was quite good.

  6977. Been saying it for months that once the clown no longer has a bully pulpit, his support is going to crater. Republicans love authoritarianism, but in order to be an authoritarian you have to have actual power... They will let someone get away with anything as long as they have POWER. It was literally the same thing under the Bush administration. As long as the Bush administration had power, Republicans blindly supported the middle-east wars, torture, warrantless wire tapping, etc. In fact McCain basically ran on going to Iran next. Now that Trump no longer has power he's lost his luster with Republican voters. He's no longer this godlike figure who will save them, he's just some dude who lost. Fortunately he still has enough power to tear apart the GOP which he undoubtedly will because he wants to remain relevant.

  6978. You literally just gave a person a pronoun.... Language is a social construct. You don't always know if someone's sex at birth. So you're only opening yourself up to look like a fool if you're going around guessing who was born a man or not. Just like you don't know someone's birth name if they change their name later in life. If you're just purposely using wrong pronouns and names for people in order to be mean then you're simply not a good person.

  6979.  @buddy-hu1vr  People are not creating their own language. They're integrating into an existing one. No different than what happens in other countries and other languages. It is only you who is having the problem. Why you insist on having a problem is something you'll just have to figure out for yourself. For everyone else it's pretty simple.

  6980.  @buddy-hu1vr  Your attempts to rationalize irrational thoughts using the Bible just makes you sound crazy. People who want to justify their bigotry often turn to religion and begin making things up. Sorry, but God/Jesus won't accept your bigotry either. Also the Bible wasn't even written in English.... According to the story, God literally created a woman out of a man.... Both "natures" came from the same body. And from a scientific standpoint, we know that sex is on a spectrum, people can be born with both sexes, intersex, and without sex. Gender is also on a spectrum and based on a societal construct. Kilts are masculine in Scotland, long hair can be considered masculine in some cultures, pink was considered masculine color in the past, men used to wear wigs and heels, etc.

  6981.  @buddy-hu1vr  There's no such thing as "personal pronouns". You're simply making that up. It's like me saying "my name is John" and you saying "personal names is the height of exaggerated self importance!" It's absurd and laughable. You're simply making up nonsensical arguments to support irrationality and bigotry. It's the same irrational arguments people made when they tried to argue against interracial marriage or acted as if women shouldn't vote or be in the workplace. All you're saying to yourself is "That's weird and I don't like it!" It's not based on anything logical or rational.

  6982.  @buddy-hu1vr  lol, I'm not the one literally making things up and pretending it's an argument. 😂 YES, someone in drag is a "he".... But apparently you don't understand drag. Someone in drag is a male who is putting on a show for fun. They can be gay, straight, or whatever. However it is performative. They might call each other "girls" for fun, but again, it's a show. RuPaul has done drag for many years, but he is still a man. However someone born with male genitalia, but has gender dysphoria, and transitions into a woman through surgery, socialization, etc. is a "she". Just like there are people born as hermaphrodites or multiple sex organs and they get surgery so they can align with a certain gender. The world is a lot more nuanced than you want it to be. However a little education goes a long way.

  6983.  @Nobushido  Yeah because trump supporters are dumbasses who blindly support tyranny. Did you not know that Trump supported Stop & Frisk? Did you not know that Trump lied about the election being stolen in order to ignore the democratic vote? Did you not know that Trump wanted to limit free speech and make it illegal for people to say mean things about him? Did you not know that he sucked up to the Saudis and didn't care when one of our journalists was murdered? Did you not care when Trump said how jealous he was about how much control Kim Jung Un had over his people? Did you not care that Trump escalated and removed safeguards from the drone program and killed way more civilians? Did yo not care when Trump started kidnapping peaceful BLM protestors? Did you not care when racist violence and mass shootings increased dramatically because of Trump's rhetoric? No you didn't care about THAT tyranny, because you were too busy soaking up the propaganda that makes you feel good.

  6985. EXCELLENT point by Nomiki at the beginning. For any organization whether it's a government, company, or a political party, there can come a point where the goal of that organization is really the opposite of what you think it is purely because of establishment politics within that organization. You think that the goal of the democratic party is to win, but in reality there are so many competing agendas within that organization that winning becomes secondary.

  6986. 02:05 Biden's rising poll numbers are due to how he's handling the Israel/Hamas conflict? Huh?🤨 What are you smoking? Which polls are you looking at? His poll numbers have gotten worse over the past month precisely due to his support of genocide and ethnic cleansing. He's been losing the youth because of that. Throwing out patently false AIPAC style propaganda and hiding it within a Fox News bashing segment kind of undermines your credibility.

  6987. 1. "Both sides tend to lie" That's why you need to rely on peer reviewed research... Not claims from some dude on a blog or a youtube video. 2. There is no relationship between crime and guns. Having a more guns doesn't lesson crime nor does it increase crime. There is however a relationship between gun deaths (homicides, suicides, & accidents) and guns.

  6988. The other thing to consider is that if you have more money your threshold for appreciating things is probably much higher than most. So that a simple chocolate or an austrailian lamb might not be as exciting as a world class chcoolate souffle or kobe beef. A skydiver would savor the thrill of skydiving but not appreciate a roller coaster as much as the average joe. It could also be personality. Some people make more money because they aren't satisifed with what they have.

  6989. 1. What if it was "statutory" rape and he was only a few years older? 2. What if the child wants to have a relationship with his father? Is it your right to deny that? If you choose to have that child for religious or other reasons you've made a decision to raise that child in a very difficult circumstances... I'd judge it on a case by case basis. Just because someone performed a crime once doesn't mean they are the same person 10 years later or less of a parent than the mother.

  6990. 1. I'm nowhere near a "libertarian" so get that idea out of your head. 2. Provide actual evidence that "polygamy itself" is harmful outside of religion or culture... Even some Native American cultures (many were largely matriarchal) supported multiple wives and husbands. Your position is like the "conservatives" or "religious right" who push their morality on others by passing laws to control what people do in their personal lives. Laws should protect people, not dictate your relationships.

  6991. (cont) There are many forms of "sentience" in this world. Not just YOURS. Not just those with cute faces and other forms that YOU choose to value. A mongoose attacking a snake, or a heina killing it's brother, or even a tiger, fungus, or bacteria attacking you is not a question of morality it is simply an answer to "being". All life on this planet (plants & animals) came from a single cell. All plants & animals consume cells. It has always been part of our shared heritage.

It shows that you don't care about facts, you only care about mindlessly supporting a single party. In many states insurance companies have a monopoly so you cannot choose. Insurance companies look for reasons to drop your medical coverage in the middle of a costly cancer treament and they do. ie "Rationing" 20K people die each year from lack of COVERAGE.

  6994. @moosicninja09 I'm responding to the link YOU posted. Typical creationist, not understanding what people are replying to. ;-) If you're going to post something as fact and "scientifically proven" you should at least make sure the information you're posting is correct and factual and not crap. There is a reason why scientists use the "scientific method". It keeps them from thinking that any bone they find is a giant (or a dragon, or an alien) and any link they find on the internet is fact.

  7000.  Nigel Henry  Yeah but there is a difference between. "I'm going to kill a random person on the street because it's fun" vs. "I think there is an intruder in my house that may be after me". Do we think she has the same motivation as a serial killer and do we think this person would be the same threat to society? Our justice system is way too centered around "vengeance" and it's rather barbaric. For example if in the exact same situation, the guy was shot but didn't die. I doubt she would get any jail time at all, let alone a life sentence. Even though the action was identical.

  7001.  @eqsharp  I'm not arguing that she wasn't an idiot or wasn't aware of where she was (for whatever reason), nor am I arguing that she didn't do the complete wrong thing in tat situation. My argument is/was about intent and motivation. The difference between someone killing for fun and because they thought they could get away with it and plan on killing more people later vs. someone killing because they were incompetent in a particular moment and responded in the wrong way. My question is whether those two things should be equated the same. Just repeating what she did wrong or what she should have done, doesn't really address that question.

  7002. Mike. All of those cases were investigated and none of them were crimes. You can pretend all you want because Fox News keeps telling you that they were, but it simply isn't true. Meanwhile you have a sitting president who has been convicted of several crimes in the past , hiding his tax returns, and is currently lying about his involvement with Russian oligarchs.

  7003. Spreading gun culture just spreads more gun deaths. The data says that I'm right. Philando Castile says that I'm right. So you can feel empowered all you want. Social and economic change will do more to save lives then getting into an arms race with your neighbors.

  7009. Saying "I don't care about stuff I Tweet" is a pretty simple and obvious argument.

  7011. Dozens of people were arrested, Trump fired the people investigating him. Trump had numerous ties and investments from Russian Oligarchs. met with Russian officials without US translators, and refused to enforce the sanctions levied by congress. To say that suspicions about Trump's involvement with Russia is the same as making up claims about voter fraud and "Venezuela" removes any credibility you have as a "journalist" IMO. Another country investing millions into trying to help you win an election deserves a COMPLETELY THUROUGH INVESTIGATION. To say otherwise is pretty damn absurd. I think Aaron is more obsessed with his ego and being "proven right" than the actual facts on the ground. The constant need to draw false equivalences truly disgusts me in media.

Tucker will complain all day about people and point fingers at them, but he'll never offer a policy or solution. Until you actually offer policies backed up by facts and data, then all you are is another Alex Jones screaming about powerful conspiring with one another.

Now there's a whole new media ecosystem dedicated to worshiping him, propping up every one of his lies, and pretending he's a populist when he's not.

Trump literally LIED A THOUSANDS TIMES about Covid in 2020 and yet they still believe him. Their religious leaders lied to them all throughout 2020. These quack doctors are lying to them NOW daily and we're supposed to believe that Fauci stating something incorrectly in the beginning of the pandemic when we were still figuring things out is supposed to justify all the nonsense these people believe. It has nothing to do with Fauci or the mainstream media saying something incorrect a year ago, it has everything to do with culture and the bubble these people put themselves in. I'm sick and tired of this BS double standard. These people are going to believe what they want to believe, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.

Eienstein's insight was using creativity and imagination that went beyond logic and convention of the time. Since then we've discovered more things that defy rational yet we accept them as theory.

  7022. Funny how you'll say that Trump is compromised by China & Saudi Arabia, yet you won't say the same thing when it comes to Trump's numerous ties to Russian oligarchs when the argument was literally no different. Trump's businesses were bailed out by Russian oligarchs and he was actively doing Russian business deals (including Saudi Arabia business deals) while he was running for president. All because you wanted to be a contrarian to the "Russiagate" narrative.

So clearly you don't know what you're talking about. 3. What you're advocating is a marketing slogan created by think tanks paid to push propaganda that benefits the US Oligarchy.

  7030. I was making this argument in 2020.. It was clear from all the investigations that started under the Trump administration that it was going to come to a head after Trump was out of power and be wrapped up before 2024 to avoid the election circus. So you were going to see a lot of things come out during this time and pushed heavily by all the people who don't want to see Trump in the White House again. Also Trump without the bully pulpit is basically just another Hillary Clinton.

  7031. Hmm737, "Our founders did NOT base our gov't on a representative democracy." Your words, not mine. So yes, you did say that our founders did not intend on having a form of elected representation. And our republic IS a representative democracy. As is every modern republic. There have been many forms of representative democracry and we live in one.

  7036. 1. Drugs aren't "used in crimes", they are consumed. Again, there's a reason why after the NFA fully automatics stopped being used in crimes. 2. Most "liberals" are for decriminalizing pot, gay marriage, abortion rights, preserving social security, immigration reform, universal health care, ending wars, drone strikes, and indefinite detention PRECISLY because they can understand the problems of others. So in other words stop using junk science to support bullshit ideas about people.

  7038. @ggadguy Taxes are not "immoral". If you believe that then you don't believe in government at all. You might as well through out your computer, internet, and cellphone because those things would not exist without innovations created by government. The problem is not taxes, it's how those taxes are used. The founders of this country believed in a government for the people and by the people. When that system gets broken people need to fix the corruption rather than blaming government itself.

  7039. "It is our JOB to make money"? This the problem with our society... "Making money" SHOULD NOT BE A JOB. IT SHOULD BE A BI-PRODUCT OF CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO SOCIETY. This is why EVERY SINGLE religious text condemns the LOVE OF MONEY because it is not only detrimental to society, It is a PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER for those fixated by it. Capitalism confuses man's need for subsistence with the artificial need to accumulate wealth. It should be treated no different than any other addiction.

  7040. @2010GOP Apparently you have no idea what free speech is... "Free speech" does not mean when Tea Partiers and Fox News say stupid shit everyone else shuts up and doesn't say anything. For example when you say something not based in fact or logic I respond by saying exactly where you're making no sense. Pretending your facts are correct when they obviously are not doesn't support "free speech." However banning you from YT for saying ignorant things would be against "free speech"

At least he wasn't doing something worse to a kid, or going "catholic" on them. I know people freak out about the very thought of it, but like it or not pedophilia has been around for thousands of years. Who knows why, but there it is. I'd rather encourage people to release those urges in healthy ways like masterbation instead of acting on it in ways that harm others.

  7043.  @pariah_carey  Yes they do have privilege when compared to millions to poor black people in the same location.... When compared to hundreds of wealthy black people in say Manhattan or LA, then probably not. The fact that you have privilege in one area doesn't mean you cannot be poor or disenfranchised. In fact MLK talked as much about economic inequality as he did on racial inequality before he was killed. He created the "Poor People's Campaign" specifically to address the economic injustice that he saw and talked about how we needed to help the poor whites in Virginia who were also victimized by the system. There can be privilege when it comes to race, gender, religion, and economic status. They are not mutually exclusive, they all work together.
    1
  7044.  @pariah_carey  Because if a cop stops a poor white guy vs a poor black guy. More often than not the poor black guy would be worse off and targeted more often. When applying for a job to get out of their situation, the poor black guy generally will have a disadvantage than the poor white guy. When it comes to promotions at a job, same dynamic exists as well. Also depending on the part of the country, a black guy in a poor white town can experience a lot of outright racism, violence, and antagonism from other white people taking out their frustrations and fears on minorities. As a white person in the exact same situation, that isn't something you would even have to think about. That is what "privilege" is.
    1
  7045. ​ @pariah_carey  Yes we're starting from different places, because you decided to ignore my response and completely start over. Very well: 1. Yes a thousands reasons can cause something to "happen". However when you look at the entirety of a set of data. Or you create a study that isolates for race then you can understand what impact race has by itself, without guessing. There have been numerous studies that have done this. 2. Pretending that racism doesn't exist, or ignoring any problem, doesn't solve the problem. No one is boiling down anything. We're just acknowledging that this is a problem that has existed for a long time time, effects millions of people, and needs to be fixed. 3. Yes police can be brutal to everyone. No one is denying that. But the fact is it disproportionately effects certain races more so than others. 4. All I'm hearing from you is: "Because racism doesn't impact me personally, no one else should care about it" Sorry, but that's not how this works... Just because I may not have gone through some of the problems that YOU have experienced, doesn't mean I'm going to pretend those problems don't exist or that the system didn't fail you (or others) in some way. At the same time it is YOUR responsibility to understand that racism is a real systemic problem that does impact millions of people. This isn't somehow a zero sum game were only one problem can exist at a time. Reforming the police has ALWAYS meant reforming it for how minorities are treated, poor are treated, mentally ill are treated, drug users are treated, how rape victims are treated. There are NUMEROUS problems within the system, not just one.

The consitution has no provision for "parties" they are a CANCER on democracy that the founders never intended to happen.

  7052. @benreilly5467 Well if you can stop your tantrum for a second. The point, is that the original Boston Tea Party was also rather out of control. Many colonist agreed with the protestor's sentament, but completely disagreed with the vandalism. However the British government's reponse to those actions was really the actual catalist for the revolution. So my orignal point that you were responding to was that these events are playing out in a similar way to the original Boston Tea Party.

A claim you cannot possibly know without data to back it up. How many companies can you name where the "inventor"owns the most stock? How many researchers, scientists, engineers?

  7061. 1. You don't understand what you're looking at. Guns didn't "magically disappear" in 1996 when the NFA was passed. Laws take time to enact. The gun buy back didn't start until October and took a number of years to complete. This is why a decline wasn't shown until after 96/97 2. The US is one of the few industrialized nations that still has a death penalty yet we also have one of the highest homicide rates. At a macro level the "threat of death" has little effect on homicide.

  7067. Cenk is right. Most CEOs wouldn't think twice about letting people go let alone admitting fault to making a bad decision. I remember siting in on a conversation executives were having about how best to fire people so that a single mother wouldn't make a scene. Why alienate the few CEOs who actually give a damn? Don't that literally doesn't help him in any way. The board and or any shareholders he has to please wouldn't appreciate what he did one bit. At most it might make himself feel better.
    1
  7068.  @liul  Again, most CEO's wouldn't care about peons feeling sad for them. If you think that, then you are the naïve one. Most CEOs care more about shareholders and board members and are rewarded for being cold and calculating. Firing people to cut costs actually makes most executives look good. Understand the actual dynamic instead of thinking that "people feeling sad" is what motivates CEOs. It doesn't.

  7071.  @nfzeta128  What possible benefit would there be for "PR" and "damage control"? You do realize that layoffs have been part of this capitalist system for longer than our country has even existed right? This isn't some unusual thing that requires good PR, this is something that happens to most companies. There have been 662 layoffs so far just with tech companies this year alone. I hate to break it to you, but the thousands of layoffs that happen ever year never require PR or damage control.

  7072.  @nfzeta128  lol, PR for who exactly? Most people have no idea who the CEO of a company is. Again, the CEO has to look good for the board and shareholders. Neither of which care about who he has to fire. In fact "feeling sad" about cutting losses is a bad look for a CEO. You're under this false impression that a CEO looking like a nice person has anything to do with company profits. I hate break your fantasy, but the most profitable companies in the world are run by absolute jerks.

I hate when people use the 90% vaccination status of the truckers or the lack of support from the teamsters union as a way of delegitimizing the protest. As if we don't have protests effecting a small minority in this country or union leaders going against what actual workers want. There were lots of vaccinated truckers who also supported people's rights.

It also doesn't mean that other Christians are "wrong" because they are following the text verbatum instead of reinterpreting it to fit what they want to believe.

At the same time we should raise INDIVIDUAL taxes for the very wealthy. We need to provide incentives for people to keep their money in their businesses rather than taking it out for themselves.

  7112. @jimtrueblue99 Nothing of which has anything to do with the bill and why people are outraged about it nor the false claim of a causal realtionship between "single parenthood" and child abuse. What you're doing is a feeble attempt to adjust the topic to suit the argument you want to make. That's called making a "strawman" and that's not how this works. Instead of making useless arguments based on undisputed correlations, why not look at the many studies around "broken homes" and child abuse.

  7113.  Sudo Nim  It's not whataboutism. It's called history. Thinking that a person caught lying a dozen times in the past is suddenly telling you the truth now just makes you naïve and gullible. Someone who comes out on television to say they were bribed by O'Keefe is entirely in line with what O'Keefe has done in the past. Furthermore the fact that Project Veritas is funded by rich conservatives is a matter of public record. So really the only one being duped here is you.

  7114. At the same time if you're going to shoot your girlfriend why do it through a door?... If it in the heat of passion an argument escalates to shooting it usually doesn't happen through a door.... The "burglar excuse" would have to be something that was premeditated. Also If someone was locked themselves in a bathroom to "get away" they've basically trapped themselves. All you have to do is wait for them to come out or break down the door. Shooting a door in a fit of rage doesn't quit fit.

Who fights for freedom of to do whatever I want with my body whether it's smoking pot or taking birth control? Progressives. YOU are brainwashed.

  7118. @CDubSD Here's the difference. I get that someone can go to an anti-Obama protest and ask "what do you want to do to Obama?" enough times to get enough extreme responses to splice into a vid and the SAME could happen at an Anti-Bush rally. The sad part is you (like HTWW) don't get that and only concern yourselves with rooting for your "team". Using terms like "left', "leftist", "liberal bias", and "mainstream media", only confirms you've been brainwashed into a "left" vs. "right" illusion.

Obviously Santorum and other Christian conservative politicians all believe they are the second coming. So they can interpret the bible however they want to by punishing the meek, discarding the sick, ignoring the poor, favoring the rich, and persecuting women, and demonizing homosexuals. Because that is *exactly* what Christ would do....

  7121. The fact that some people in the media downplayed the virus is irrelevant IMO... It's not the media's job to protect Americans from pandemics, it's the President job via the CDC. However pretty much everyone in the media understood the severity of the virus by late February/Early March. Unlike the administration and Fox News who were still downplaying it at that point. If the administration took the virus seriously just two weeks earlier, tens of thousands of people would be alive today.

  7125. 17:32 Pediatric flu deaths were anywhere between 37 and 188 each year prior to Covid and the CDC estimates that those numbers are way undercounted and should be several times higher. So I wouldn't call 776 total deaths from the start of the pandemic as that unusual. Especially for something that spread far more than a typical flu in a short amount of time.

The "far left" has been trying to dramatically cut military spending and reign in our military presence around the world. That doesn't mean we're going to ignore the fact that Russia groomed and helped Trump get elected.

We all get being sensitive and having insecurities about a condition, but people trying to act as if a joke was somehow directed against all black women are being completely ridiculous.

  7136.  @OmDahake  Yes, I would agree. That's why I say they should be adding more social features and not taking them away. YouTube has a lot of valuable information that can make it more useful to people and more popular. Instead they want to hide it for themselves. If all they are is a place to stream videos then it becomes easier to replace with something else.

  7137.  @PhilMinecraft  I think you don't have any kind of proof or a real argument that people aren't posting videos because of a dislike counter. Simply saying "there are lots of YouTube accounts" isn't an argument, sorry. If anything it's proof of how popular and successful YouTube has gotten because of features like the dislike counter.

Projection much? 😂 --"For one, entrepreneurs setup businesses almost purely for financial gain" WRONG... You obviously have never known anyone starting a business. There are hundreds of thousands of artists, photographers, clothing designers, makers, day care, pet care, restaurants, etc. that got into that business because it is their passion. Most of these people spend YEARS barely making a living. Heck you can even look at YouTube for an example. For every PewDiePie there are literally thousands of other content creators who bust their butt every week making content while not making enough money to survive. You probably watch some of these anime reviewers who hardly make a dime from their hard work.

  7140.  @grantburrell  Most definitions for "entrepreneur" don't actually include the word "profit".

  7142.  @Dan16673  No, government has corruption precisely because of profit. Whether that is individual profit or corporate profits. There is still rampant corruption in many states and cities, so size isn't going to magically change that. Corruption is a function of the monopoly game we created, there are no "norms" other than what we've decided to use as incentives in society and we have decided that money is more important than democracy, justice, intelligence, our planet, or peace.

  7151.  @dionlandon479  I was specifically referring to the "culture war" comments at the beginning of the video. You can't complain about perpetuating a culture war when you're the one perpetuating the culture war. His comments weren't in relationship to anything else. However, it was Ana who decided to take his commentary and turn it into some kind of political architype and pretend that it is related to other issues that weren't even discussed. They also decided it was good that his team lost a game Why? because of one guy's comments? People have literally lost their minds discussing these issues. In my mind this is no different than Laura Ingraham's "shut up and dribble" comments when it came to Lebron James. This entire culture war nonsense is gross. If you haven't realized that by now, then you still need to wake up.

If you weren't so entrenched in a bubble you would realize that.

I don't know how old you are, but you sound pretty childish. Simply because someone is famous doesn't mean they should be considered a role model for anyone. TYT isn't winning anyone over, by preaching to the choir over a dumb culture war. That's the bubble you're in. Picking out a celebrity who said something you don't like and talking about it on your show, is the exact same stupid tactics that Fox pundits do, because their listeners are also in a bubble. Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carson, they all pick out celebrities and "M&M's" to do dumb commentary on in order to feed their audience a culture war for ratings. Maybe you get off on the vapid commentary of criticizing random celebrities, calling them names, and hoping their football team loses, in order to feel good about yourself, but I don't sorry. It's stupid.

He did blackmail a country by withholding aid so they could make up charges against his political opponent. He did have love affairs with dictators all over the world. He did defraud people with a fake university and a fake charity and had to pay tens of millions as a result.

  7167.  @markg1727  Popular vote is always relevant when it comes to democracy. The "reasons" you're speaking about were simply to give slave states more power even though slaves couldn't vote. However people still mindlessly parrot the talking point that there was some kind of reason or rational behind it. We already have representation for according to populations and regions, it's called the House of Representatives. The Electoral College and the Senate were undemocratic compromises to satisfy the oligarchy at the time and keep the black populations oppressed. Sadly we still have people like you who mindlessly uphold the oligarchy and the institutions that support it.
    1
  7168.  @markg1727  Are you somehow unaware that the vast majority of the slaves were located in the South? Are you unaware of the three fifths compromise? Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't make it "idiotic", it only makes you misinformed. Tell me exactly how appointed electors that have no mandate to vote according to popular will was best for a thriving democracy? Please explain to me how this magic system you invasion that gave more power to states that had more slaves, who could not vote, made sense? The only thing that is "idiotic" here are people who mindlessly go along with the status quo as if they are on autopilot or something.

  7169. I just think it's really dumb for the left to "die on the hill" of vaccine mandates at this point. Recent studies show that fully vaccinated adults transmit the Delta variant almost as easily as people who are unvaccinated (See the UK study published a few days ago). If you're vaccinated you can still spread the virus and we've known this for months. In fact countries with much higher vaccination rates had the same spike in cases over the summer as we did. Yet we're still acting as if mandating that everyone get vaccinated is the most important issue for the 2% of the population that may be immunocompromised. When vaccines first came out it was seen as a personal protective, and a "vaccine passport" was seen as a joke, but now suddenly mandates have become a culture war issue. Even if the Right is wrong, their messaging is going to resonate with parents and the working class than an elitist message of "we know what's best for you". Progressives really need to ask themselves if this is the message they want to constantly put out there. To me this is similar to prohibition where progressives at the time fought against alcohol consumption. Even today alcohol causes deaths directly and indirectly (drunk driving accidents, etc.) every single day, yet we decided that "freedom" is better than telling people what they can and cannot consume.
    1
  7170.  @sirius1696  Again, do you understand that you can STILL transmit the virus when vaccinated? That UK study I just mentioned showed that for the delta variant viral loads between vaccinated and unvaccinated were no different, and spread of the virus (delta variant) between vaccinated person to another vaccinated person is almost as easy as it is if they were unvaccinated. You can reduce symptoms, hospitalizations and deaths with the vaccine, but we are clearly not reducing transmission by a large degree with the vaccines. So when you say "endanger the public" you can only apply that to masks, because masks (good ones) are still the only effective way of stopping transmission.

Your perspective implies single parenthood is A REASON people abuse children. Which is completely false. It is likely that both are the result of "broken homes".

Democaracy means that a majority should rule, but a Republic means a minority governs. Politicians regularly govern against "what's popular" all the time. Which is EXACTLY why we have a "right to protest" and elections. NO ONE in this country should lose those rights no matter who they work for.

This video was presented as a "shocking" revelation about the south, in reality it just reveals Cenk's clear misconceptions.

You have to ask yourself where you are getting these "implications" because if it's not from the actual clip then you're only confirming my point. People have spent the past year and a half putting themselves into camps over Covid. Simply acknowledging that natural immunity exists does not in any way imply that people should go out and infect themselves, or that people without natural immunity should not get vaccinated, or that people shouldn't wear masks. Those are things that you and TMR are *adding*.

"Free crap food" is not a problem in this country, inequality is.

That is a classic "strawman" fallacy of changing the argument. Many of the founders owned slaves, that doesn't mean we all endorse "slavery" now does it?

We all know that food and water born illnesses were taking care of themselves "naturally" as well. It's clear that all you're interested in is pushing a narative and nothing more. It's sad how are society has degraded to those who merely wish to reinforce their ideological views.

  7193. @mmmbreakfast2 That's because JR is HORRRIBLE at hosting... Have you seen the shows were it's just Ana & JR? It's like the very definition of awkward.... No, JR is the type who's very thoughtful, so he's the voice of reason, but at the same time he's not he's not a loud talking teleprompter like Cenk is. Maybe with a lot of practice and communication training maybe, but for now JR will always be a great Ed McMann but no Johnny Carson...

  7195. How is it strength by removing our military presence? I'm all for peace, but even the Iran deal had a slew of guarantees and regular inspections of their nuclear capability. Trump is giving everything away without any guarantees in return. Sorry, but that's just dumb. If you were consistent and not just a partisan you would see that.

  7197. So what about all the other families in america with 7 kids or more living just above poverty? Does the wife deserve millions of dollars if the family income was only 30k? Raising kids is hard work, but you have to recognize the ENORMOUS degree of self entitlement in these cases. The wives don't deserve millions of dollars just because of raising kids or being married.... They feel they deserve millions of dollars because their husband made millions of dollars.

  7198. The "minor violation" was not reporting a girlfriend & being visited by family. He was ALREADY convicted for statutory rape, he struck a deal for jail time and on going treatment for that offense. However a prosecutor trying to thrown you in jail for 10 years because you didn't report having a girlfriend *IS* an abuse of power. IF there is EVIDENCE of "negligent homicide" you convict him on those grounds. Abusing the law by going on a witch hunt because of personal feelings is not justice...

  7199. @cupocity303 If you don't feel that way then don't make statements like: "[you're brainwashed for thinking] we need Government. Government has nothing, because it creates nothing." "small/big government" is just terminology from think tanks. It's a meeaningless term meant to evoke an *emotion* rather than offer any real facts. As a % of GDP the most corrupt governments in the world are "small". Furthermore there is a lot (if not more) corruption happening at the state level.

And doctors trying to make money are actually promoting this behavior.... Wow... just wow... How about you first work on making food healthier, less toxic, & sustainable first.

  7203. 1. Sorry It's not my job to verify your bad data and your invalid assumptions. You might as well say "prove to me that Santa Claus doesn't exist". THE WHOLE POINT of a peer reviewed studies is that the data is verified & cross checked by other researchers/scientists. You don't seem to understand the difference between that and someone's "opinion" 2. It's not my "thought process" it's based on studies. Not believing it "because you don't want to" is the only irrational thought process here.

  7204. 4. In my experience people that call themselves "libertarian" are simply advocating many of the policies that "progressives". Have been advocating for DECADES now. Namely ending the wars, ending the war on drugs, etc. However they stll hold onto the Reagan era economic lunacy that has continuously created HUGE deficits and great economic inequality of the past 30 years. Govenment is only "the problem" if you manage it poorly.

  7206. You do realize that Hunter Biden's whole career has been in financial law and running domestic and global financial firms right? He's not just the vice president's son sitting around doing nothing, he actually has had a career for himself. I'm not saying for sure there isn't any corruption here, but if you're looking for someone to help unfreeze foreign assets you would probably go to someone with qualifications similar to Hunter Biden. And it's pretty normal for a lawyer to ask for a retainer. The fact that his competence and troubled history was in question is more of an indication that they were looking for a legal service rather than him telling his father to unfreeze assets which I don't even think a vice president has the power to do.

  7209. Cenk... I've said this for months, but the outcome is obvious. Obama's constant caving has given the GOP very little to run on. They can't run on tax cuts, foreign policy, military, etc. Romney has no real policies to run on. Obama will crush Romney in the debates and come from a stance of real decisions & policy & appear far more "presidential". Meanwhile Romney will look desparate. As long as Romney isn't outspending Obama by huge amounts (like 4 to 1). Obama will easily win.

  7210. 4. The thing that you keep failing to realize... Is that the concept of "crime" isn't going away any time soon and the reason why there are far fewer deaths in the UK, Australia, Japan, etc. is not for a "lack of crime" It's because you are far less likely to die from getting stabbed vs. getting shot. Even in the Boston bombings only 3 people got killed vs. a lone gunman can easily take out 5, 10, 20, 30 people at once with weapons that are far more readily available.

  7211.  @georgestem2039  It's funny how you don't realize that never happened. You people are so profoundly ignorant.... If you spent two minutes Googling the situation in 2015/16 you would see dozens of articles talking about how that prosecutor (Shokin) was corrupt and the US, EU, World Bank, IMF all wanted that prosecutor fired for corruption, specifically for NOT investigating the oligarch who founded Burisma.... There were literal protests in front of the Ukrainian parliament of people wanting that guy removed. Even his own deputy prosecutor was complaining that he was stonewalling investigations. There was no investigation into Hunter Biden at the time. That was entirely made up by Guliani and Trump. Do you honestly think Biden would be bragging in front of hundreds of people and cameras about a personal favor the Ukrainian government did for his son? Really? 😂 And what crime do you believe Hunter was being investigated for? Did you even bother to think about that part? 😂 It's amazing to me that a year later people are STILL choosing to blindly believe a known liar instead of actually researching the situation themselves.
    1
  7212.  @georgestem2039  Yes, governments and institutions that have been around for decades or centuries are far more trustworthy than a treasonous orange clown who did every underhanded thing he could to subvert democracy and stay in power... Trump is on tape knowing in February that Covid 19 was far more deadlier than the flu and airborne. He then proceeded to lie about it by saying it was just like the flu and downplayed it for a year. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead because of Trump's downplaying of the virus and not doing his job. So you can spare me your fake outrage over a guy who actually tried to save American lives. The only reason you don't like Fauci is because your cult leader Trump told you to not to like him.... You people are nothing more than mindless drones that don't give a damn about your country only sucking up to a reality TV star who lies to your face and tells you what to believe.

  7213.  @Anxt206  Viktor Shokin was called corrupt by his own people. The senate report's key findings says that Hunter Biden's position on the Burisma board was awkward. Of course it was "awkward". We already knew that, but it wasn't illegal and you people have yet to point out anything illegal, just blindly following Trumps unfounded allegations that he made solely to smear Biden so he could win in 2020. That's all this is... What coincidences are you referring to exactly? The word "coincidence" is sorta self explanatory... Do you have the same diligence over the 640 million that Jared and Ivanka made while they were supposedly "white house advisors"? You do realize that Jared was under investigation right? Of course not because the president's son in law getting hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign investors while he's your white house advisor s not a big deal, but somehow Hunter Biden's employment history is a big deal... 🙄
    1
  7214.  @Anxt206  Where does it say that Hunter was selling influence? Trump literally started his presidency by doubling the membership fees at Mar-a-Lago so that anyone who wanted the ear of the president would pay a lot of money doing so. Never mind the millions that Jared got from foreign investors because of his position at the white house. Or how about the dozens of trademarks that Ivanka got from China in the middle of Trump's trade war? Or what about the inaugural money that was funneled to Trump's businesses and friends? There is corruption staring you right in the face and yet you pretend it comes from Hunter Biden simply because Trump told you to believe that. A guy who started his presidency paying a 25 million settlement because he defrauded thousands of students with Trump University and then had to shut down his charity two years after that for "self dealing". A guy whose own lawyer went to jail for the crimes he did for Trump. So please stop pretending that you care about corruption or "selling influence"

  7215.  @Anxt206  LOL... Of course, whenever you need evidence of something it's always the "deep state". You people have become caricatures of yourselves. A known pathological liar tells people that Hunter Biden did something illegal and instead of using critical thinking skills and understanding that a person running for re-election was motivated to lie in order to create a scandal over his main opponent, people decided to blindly believe him. Again, Biden was following official US policy and the wishes of the IMF, EU, and World Bank to oust that corrupt prosecutor. Countries did not want to invest money in the Ukraine while this corruption was going on You can find articles written in 2015 and 2016 in other countries talking about this. Look at the article entitled: "EU hails sacking of Ukraine's prosecutor Viktor Shokin" Do you think the rest of the world was involved in helping Hunter Biden too? Is the entire EU part of the "deep state"? LOL....

  7216.  @Anxt206  Sorry, but you're in tinfoil hat territory now... Yes allies collude with one another when it comes to geopolitical interests, regional power, control of natural resources, and wealthy people often manipulate those governments, but to suggest that the entire world's agencies would make up a story and create international policy for the sole purpose of protecting Biden's son from a "secret investigation" is absolutely absurd... It's nonsense. It's a fairy tale. Trump is FAR more wealthy than Biden and yet somehow you pretend that Biden is the oligarch? It's crazy.... What's stopping me from just making up any story I want about you or anybody then pretend the entire world is conspiring to cover up the truth? The Jan 6th riot happened because facts stopped meaning anything to people and they just started making things up. We have to be better than that for our country and for our society.... This Q-anon nonsense has got to go.... If you're not building an argument based on verifiable facts, you will just be fooled by whatever story someone tells you or posts on the internet. No one is "forcing" you to make up stories, you're choosing to.
    1
  7217.  @Anxt206  Making up conspiracies based on limited information is the exact same mindset of q-anon. That's why I brought it up. I've had lots of conversations with those folks and it's the exact same reasoning. Again, you can call it whatever you want, but making up stories/conspiracies to fit a worldview is something that needs to be eradicated from our society. You suggested that the governments of the entire western world were colluding with each other to create a policy specifically to help Biden's son and cover up a secret investigation for a secret crime. How do you expect a reasonable person to respond to that exactly? How do you expect someone to disprove something entirely made up? It's no different than if I said "aliens landed in my backyard" and asked you to disprove it. I bring up Trump because the entire reason Hunter Biden is in our discourse right now is because Trump made it an issue for the 2020 election and right wing media followed suit. Trump using his opponent's son in order to smear him to gain an advantage in the election is the only reason Hunter Biden is a topic today. and because of that you are making up stories in order to make Trump's claim real. I've seen the same pattern over and over.... Trump puts a lie into the zeitgeist and people spend months, even years, trying to make the lie real because they want to believe it.

SERIOUSLY? Talk about a fucking double standard Kyle. Sorry but as far as lies and propaganda NO ONE tops Fox News and the Trump administration. Are MSNBC and CNN perfect? Of course not, but talking about it as if they are the same and spread the same fake bullshit makes me sick.

What is taxed are NET profits taken after EXPENSES such as operating costs AND salaries (handled by payroll/income taxes). THEN you apply *corporate* taxes. People don't support businesses with their personal salary.

  7237. Chase, I get that. I'm just saying without context you end up spreading a lot of misinformation. If Kyle just said the last sentence you just wrote then it would have been completely clear. This is similar to how he talks about Hillary Clinton's Iraq vote. Of course it was a bad vote, but he leaves out the fact that at that time 70% OF THE COUNTRY was in favor of Iraq intervention because the media wasn't doing it's job and allowed the Bush administration to spread a lot of lies and propaganda following 911. A lot of my friends went along with it out of fear. People like Bernie Sanders, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich were some of the few voices that openly spoke out against it. It was a shitty time and this country even re-elected the guy who got us into that mess.
    1
  7238. Chase, no I think she voted for it because it had a high approval rating and she wanted to seem "tough" for a a future presidential run. Keep in mind she was a NY senator and those politicians care more about Wall St than the MIC. She was looking at the long term politics, so she voted for it so she wouldn't be one of the few who didn't. She didn't want to look like she would be a weak president as a woman (which is really the root of a lot of her hawkishness). Ever since she stopped being first lady it's always been about running for president. She could care less about the MIC, she just wanted to seem "presidential" and go along with the crowd. I feel sad for her because when she was younger she had a a lot more conviction before it became all about money and being president. A lot of congressman voted for it as a way of getting Saddam to play nice and comply with the UN resolutions. He was complying, however Bush used it as an excuse to invade anyway because of daddy issues and religious nonsense. Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. and senators like Grahm and McCain were definitely pushing for the MIC. There are a variety of motivations, not everything is black & white.
    1
  7239. However the reason it had a high approval rating in the first place is because this country was scared and the Bush administration pretended that going to Iraq would make them safer.
    1
  7240. Sigh..... Look, I was Bernie Sanders supporter before people like you even knew who the fuck he was, just because I can look at things objectively doesn't mean "I'm with her", only a blind zealot creates false choices like that. Furthermore you apparently had to go all the way to Hillary's speech in 2002 on her Iraq Resolution vote and EVEN THEN you didn't listen to it.... Specifically you didn't listen to the part where she said "There is no evidence that Saddam was involved in the terrible events of September 2001" NOR did you listen to the part where she said: "If we were to attack Iraq now with few allies it could set a precedent that could come back to haunt us" OR where she said: "A unilateral attack would not be a good option". Instead you just skimmed over an article and relied on the headlines for the point of view that you were looking for.
    1
  7241. I'm not taking anything out of context. I'm quoting the same video you posted. The fact that you're choosing to ignore all of those quotes in that video for a single one, is sad: “and the world hopes that Saddam Hussein will finally hear this ultimatum, understand the severity of those words, and act accordingly.” Like I said many voted in order to pressure Saddam to comply with UN resolutions that quote proves my point. Nor do your quotes support your claim that she was constantly spreading the same propaganda from the Bush administration. Nor have you provided a shred of evidence that Hillary is STILL for the Iraq war like you just claimed. But sure go ahead and ignore ALL the quotes where she specifically said multiple times that we shouldn't go to war. Instead lets just pay attention to her saying: "firm leadership and decisive action" once lol.... You guys are no better than the cherry picking the right does.
    1
  7242. I'm just stating the facts and refuting your claims over the Iraq war & resolution. You can't claim that I'm quoting out of context and then proceed to quote something out of context as proof that she was voting for a war. Especially when she said the opposite multiple times in the same video. Furthermore this isn't about what other shit Hillary voted for. "She's on both sides of every issue." I don't disagree. However the idea that she was pushing for war with her Iraq vote is a false one. As far as the Levin amendment, it was again Hillary Clinton going along with whatever was popular or unpopular in the senate at the time. She says she didn't want to make the US subordinate to the UN, but in reality she voted against it because the amendment wasn't popular. Like I said.... She doesn't vote based on conviction she votes based on whatever was popular or not. You guys are pretending as if it's some kind of secret nefarious scheme when the reality is much simpler than that. She felt that he safe thing to do politically was to vote how everyone else was.
    1
  7243. No, the Iraq resolution wasn't voting for war for everyone who voted for it. Again there were a variety of reasons why people voted for it. Some were for war and others were simply trying to get Saddam to play ball Sorry, but I'm not I'm not going to sit here and argue Clinton's entire voting record, as if I agree with everything she's done in her entire career. That's just the nonsense false choice you're creating. I made one point about the Iraq Resolution vote and I refuted your claim that she has been arguing in favor of that war over and over and is still arguing in favor of it today. That claim is a flat out lie. Though I will say that she was instrumental in the Iran nuclear deal and actually hired the person who negotiated that peace deal. Not everything is black & white.
    1
  7244. Chase, I gave you specific answers and rationale for my viewpoints. If all you can do is rant, demonize, and pretend that all I'm doing is apologizing then you're only just proving my point in that it's an emotional argument for you. There's a lot more wrong with politics than Hillary Clinton, but if you see the world as black and white or good and evil, then you're never going to get that.
    1
  7245. Chase you seem to not know what "debunked" means, because I have no idea what you think you're debunking. You also seem to think that people can't be in favor of one military intervention and not be in favor of another for a variety of reasons. This irrational black & white thinking I was talking about. Basically all "nuance" and the idea that facts can change your opinion on something is lost on you. She pretty much laid out in her speech why going into Iraq unilaterally would be a bad idea, but all you're processing is: "Der... war or no war?"
    1
  7246. Chase, If you didn't get it the 3rd time then you're not going to get it the 4th time.... There's no point in repeating myself over and over. The vote was not "hey let's all go to war next week!", but that's the only way you're looking at it because again, you can only thinking in black and white terms. Your only thought process is based on what the Bush administration actually did once they got power. Not based on the situation or what Clinton herself actually said her reasons were. It would be like a kid driving a car into a ditch and ending up in a coma and then pretending that's what his or her parents wanted all along just because they gave them the car keys.
    1
  7247. Again, the vote wasn't to invade Iraq. It was to authorize the use of military force in case it was needed. The bill also included provisions for diplomacy (Section 2). A diplomatic provision wouldn't be there if everyone voting for the bill thought military force was the only option..... If all you do is look at things in simplistic black and white terms then you'll have an incorrect picture of the world. You have to consider the situation, political climate, and reasoning of the various people involved. Again, 75 out of the 100 senators felt that voting for the Levin amendment would have made US subservient to the UN, which meant that any US action would require support by Russia and China (which had their own interests in Iraq) which is the entire reason why it was unpopular. Again, the world is a lot more complicated than the simplistic bullshit that people (and Trump) make it out to be.

  7248. Chase, Umm... that's the text of the actual bill. If you're not even going to read the bill, the comments of the people voting for it, then there's nothing to say really.

  7249. Sigh... authorized the president to use military force if needed, congress wasn't somehow ordering troops to the battlefield in Iraq with that bill which is why troops weren't actually deployed until 6 months later. The bill was a legal justification for it. It's like I'm talking to people who were not even born during that time so they have no idea what was going on.

  7252. "well of course you can name hundreds of schools that banned guns that don't have shootings." Which is exactly the reason why anecdotes are not evidence... Just like there are many cities/counties with few guns and no shootings. I live not far from Kennesaw. Murder DOES exist & there is NOT a requirement to own a gun. ALL rural areas have fewer homicides. It has nothing to do with guns. This fact remains "more guns per capita = more gun deaths". Children should be taught facts not fantasy.

  7257. You do realize that one of the first things they did was test all the coronavirus at that lab right?....

You're not going to prove collusion unless you have an audio recordings of people open discussing a quid pro quo, and the odds of that happening are really slim. I don't really understand this need to pretend the entre reason for investigating Trump over Russia was somehow "nonsense". If Hillary Clinton was spying on reporters who were investigating her you would IMMEDIATE claim she was guilty, but for some reason we're supposed to believe that Trump openly obstructed justice, fired people investigating him, spied on reporters, and openly said he was "F#cked" when he heard about the investigation, that somehow Trump was innocent. Trump was obviously expressing guilt over SOMETHING, so pretend the entire Russia investigation was nonsense, is pretty short sighted and self serving.

That said there are CEOs that take their company and workers seriously, However other than a "sense of pride" there is little incentive for those people.

  7272.  @jveebklyn1644  I didn't misinterpret anything. You can verify this yourself if you look at her comments all throughout the Obama administration as well as her comments being "conflicted" on torture and criticizing Obama for not bombing the middle east more. I ask that you do your own due diligence instead of just immediately assuming someone is wrong without providing anything to back it up.

" "Bad enough US has not been bombing al-Qaeda/al-Nusra in Syria. But it’s mind-boggling that we protest Russia’s bombing of these terrorists." Tulsi's pro-bombing comments are always when it is against Muslims. Which is why she's defending this bombing that Biden did.

With today's technology it is entirely possible to securely and quickly take a vote on national initiatives. Now you may still need people who can work through the nuances of policies and regulations, but when it comes to things like "should pot be legal?" Should we invade XYZ country? We should put those things to a national vote. Even when it comes to policy nuances, in the very near futures we should be able to even crowd source those kind of things so that people who are in the healthcare industry can weigh in on healthcare issues. We are no longer in the age of having to ride by horseback or stagecoach or painstakingly hand write legal documents.

And yes the owner Burisma probably thought having a vice president's son on their board wouldn't be a bad idea, but obviously it didn't work since the US government along with the EU, World Bank, IMF, etc. did everything they could to pressure the Ukraine government into doing an investigation of Burisma. Giggling with glee over a dude with issues going on a drug bender and sleeping with prostitutes, who isn't a political figure at all, is just gross in my opinion. The only reason Hunter Biden is part of political discourse is because Trump & Giuliani needed him to be in order to deflect from the hundreds of thousands of Americans dying and the administration not caring about it. It has nothing to do with what the "main stream media" should or shouldn't cover.

  7289.  @riashah9419  Yes, all artists are exploited to an extent. But it is especially true when it comes to group bands. The concept is created before there are even any members, and then kids are selected from a young age and groomed and curated into a completely fabricated existence for money and fame. It's not like they are friends who formed a band one day, they were selected by a company and then forced to live together. So when I see these events I really don't know how much of it is them or the machine they're part of. Obviously they have talent and passion, but serious question, do you honestly think that this appearance wasn't setup for PR by their company? For me there is a big difference between an activist trying to actually change policy and a company using an issue for promotion. Fans don't want to see behind the curtain, they're just happy to see BTS.
    1
  7290.  @riashah9419  It's hard to say what help or harm is caused by corporations coopting movements for their own promotion. Though generally when it happens the movement is already starting to die and companies are just latching onto something on it's way out instead of taking risks by taking an stance in the beginning. Individual artists will often speak out on issues early, because they actually care about something, however companies do not. They wait until it's safe. Also. I just wonder if it's beneficial for the members of BTS to be forced into these situations and speak on issues they may not know or even care about. They may not have any choice in the decision, but are simply told to dress up, show up and say something anyway.

  7291.  @riashah9419  I wouldn't necessarily characterize it as "evil" nor is this type of exploitation unique to Korea. The same thing has been going on with "idol groups" in Japan. The US has also had a few boy bands that followed this model in the past. Currently US companies are taking advantage of social media by creating these "hype houses" where a group of kids are put together in luxury mansions and used to make lots of money off social media. The kids might have a bit more agency, but they are still being exploited and curated in a very similar way.. My main issue was that I if you're going to speak about "diversity" then these types of groups are not the best spokespeople for that, because they are not created to be diverse only to sell an "ideal" look.
    1
  7292.  @riashah9419  The tragedy is that there are hardly any American-Asian music artists. Which only highlights the issue when it comes to diversity in this country... Instead it requires large companies to manufacture a band and then target US and international markets through very sophisticated social media campaigns and carefully crafted music. Similar to how Hollywood targets movies to international audiences. Sorry for being cynical, but it's not like there weren't thousands of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc. music artists that didn't exist before or exists today. No one knows about these artists simply because they don't have an international marketing machine behind them.

You really need to take a hard look at why you think criticizing a band, whether you think that criticism is valid or not, somehow rises to the level of bigotry of all Asians. You may appreciate theater, posturing, and PR stunts, but I do not.

Yes Trump is a showman, but Obama was ALSO a showman. The only difference is that Trump is willing to lie over and over to get what he wants and Obama wasn't. If you think Trump's tactics are better then why are Trump's approval ratings in the toilet compared to Obama's? Yes Obama should have fought harder, made a case, and did a thousand other things but pretending Trump tactics are "better" is just revisionist history.

A pilot is not going willingly "crash the plane" just because a lunatic is waving a pocket knife. As far as I'm aware that has never happened in the history of aviation... The reason the passengers did not subdue the hijackers is because they had no idea they were flying the plane into buildings.

  7313. Maybe it's just me, but I would rather get pushed a bit instead of having every conflict potentially escalate into someone getting shot... The reason police end up killing so many unarmed people each year is because they assume everyone has a gun.
    1
  7314. My point still stands.... As studies have clearly shown for many many years, the more guns in society = more people get shot. The more homicides as well as suicides. It is less a deterrent than it is an invitation to using deadly force and a potential for deadly accidents. I've heard people describe situations where they pull out a gun because they saw a stranger or they pull out a gun in order settle an argument with someone who annoyed them while driving down the highway.... This is less defense and more of an invitation to escalate a situation to a shootout instead of calling the police. The deterrent idea is nothing more than a fantasy. Unless you run a liquor store in a bad neighborhood it is nothing more than a security blanket for the weak minded to give themselves a false sense of security. Under the right conditions can it save your life? Can you create a scenario were having a gun makes you the hero? OF COURSE... But those cases are greatly offset by mass shootings, suicides, escalated arguments, children or owners accidentally shooting themselves, or accidentally shooting their friends or family members. It really doesn't take a genius to look at basic statistics of this country compared to the many others with strict regulations on guns.

The "extreme" Republicans come out to vote and the Republican "moderates" don't care enough to change their vote and are sympathetic to that extreme. So when conservative media supports that extreme over and over, it wins them elections. Not saying people need to do propaganda, but at the same time I don't see how it helps anything to have conservative media call progressive politicians "stupid", "crazy", and "evil" then have progressive media call those same politicians "losers" over and over...

  7331.  @trysis260  Early testing of omicron specific vaccines in animals show that there isn't any benefit against omicron compared to existing vaccines. They'll know more after clinical trials, but so far, it's just "meh" The government shouldn't force people to protect themselves, any more than the government should be banning alcohol, fast food, sodas, or drugs. Once vaccination was shown to have little to do with transmission, there should not have been any mandates. We started wearing masks again shortly after vaccines became available because it was known that vaccination wasn't stopping transmission. So these mandates have always been based on a lie and when you force people to take something against their will, there is bound to be pushback. There is also a discrepancy with how these mandates effect truckers compared to most people. So, it is not surprising that people who have to cross a border regularly would have more to say about it. Even though they are mostly alone on the road and have little interaction with people.

  7332. ​ @trysis260  It's actually pretty clear cut that vaccination doesn't stop transmission. You will never find a single study that claims anything like that. Even the pharmaceutical companies that created the vaccines never made such claims. The only question is how much they might slow down transmission and this was actually studied in "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK" Articles giving opinions are one thing, peer reviewed studies with data are another. Again, neutralizing antibodies wane after two months, this has been clearly shown numerous times as well as in the study I referenced. There is no way replication is going to be "stopped in 2 days" for most of the population even in the most ideal scenario. When it comes to "public health" there is a big difference between traffic laws to keep pedestrians from being run over or stopping unwanted bacteria or feces from entering your food vs. telling people they cannot consume alcohol or that they must be vaccinated regardless of their circumstances or preferences.

  7333.  @trysis260  The CDC contradicts themselves constantly and has posted at least 3 bogus/flawed studies that I know of. No, I said that there is no point in mandating vaccinations when they don't stop transmission. I did not say there is no point to vaccinations. That is the fundamental difference in freedom of choice vs authoritarianism. I can tell you that vitamin D and exercise has all sorts of benefits for your health. However, I wouldn't mandate those things or tell you how to live. Traffic laws are to control the flow of traffic and establish the rules of driving, they are not personal health decisions, sorry. Omicron has been ripping through the populations regardless of vaccination status. There is no logic to mandates at this point. Either you decide to protect yourself or you don't. Forcing that choice on people is completely non-productive.
    1
  7334.  @trysis260  You really need to clarify that CDC comment, it is vague at best. I simply pointed out that the CDC made a lot of contradictory statements. AGAIN, we have a study specifically testing transmission in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. At best that reduction is 30% within the first 2 months of a second dose with Delta and Omicron is far more infectious. 30% is pretty much the same difference in transmission between males and females. So why are you attempting to theorize and use analogies when we have actual data? The decrease in mortality with Omicron is because 1. The virus is less severe. 2. A greater percentage of people being vaccinated. 3. a greater percentage of people with natural immunity from prior infections. It literally has nothing to do with transmission which is actually far greater than previous variants. We have FAR more cases than previous waves precisely because Omicron transmits much easier regardless of vaccination status. So, what exactly are you talking about? Please stop trying to rationalize bad arguments. It is making you sound silly.

  7335. Once sentence: People shouldn't be influenced into votring for a particular party or deinfluenced from voting. Getting rid of voting registration sounds like a great idea. Making voting mandatory in this country sounds like an even better idea. A democracy doesn't mean shit if most of the population isn't voting. Force the government into creating the infrastructure (roads, bus, rail, mail, secure networks, and Federal holidays) to have nearly every eligable person voting on election day.

Because slave trading and slave labor was BIG BUSINESS in the south who wanted to keep slavory for profit. The US got wealthy on the backs and deaths of millions or slaves. It took federal action to finally abolish slavory.

You seem to believe that every single voter is motivated by just policy simply because you are, it makes you a bit naïve on politics. Trump may have been a populist, but he wasn't elected because of policy positions. Sure there was a good percentage who thought Trump would be better on trade and the "economy", but it was largely the evangelicals, racist, and many others who came out in record support based on their "feelings" about Trump. Look at today's Trump supporters and tell me they are supporting him based on policies.

If the online ticket brokers started asking whether you're going to check bags or not BEFORE giving you a price then we would have a whole new ballgame.

The goal of our criminal system shouldn't be to punish, it should be to mitigate aberrant behavior in our society so that aberrant behavior happens LESS. Anything other than that is irrational because it puts our lust for revenge above social well being.

The idea that we could pull out and plan everything perfectly like we're baking cake is beyond wishful thinking. If the US anticipated that the Taliban would take over as quickly a they did they would have planned differently, but obviously our intelligence only knew so much.

A fincancial collapse & loss of credit existed in both. Rampant bank speculation using savings existed in both.

  7366.  @samfetter2968  I don't see where you're getting a "65% reduction" in that study. I believe you are the one who is misrepresenting that study. If you're going to quote the study then please do it correctly. Don't just respond with emojis pretending that you're making a point. Again, I never said "vaccines don't make a difference" I said vaccines don't reduce the spread by a huge margin. If you're going to sit here and lie to make a point, because you're stuck on some right/left narrative then you're wasting my time.

  7367.  @samfetter2968  The funny thing is I gave you a direct quote of the study's findings using the study's own words. You are the one who is attempting to cherry pick factoids in order to discredit their own summary. 😂 Sorry, but the fact that they are looking households doesn't change the fact that it is study on transmission of the Delta variant. Again I already established in my original comment that vaccines reduce Covid symptoms. Simply repeating that yet again, is irrelevant. Again, the vaccines do not reduce transmission of the Delta variant by a large degree as concluded by this recent study. Again, you are simply lying about 65% reduction. Nowhere in that study, does it say that. So please stop spreading misinformation.

  7368.  @samfetter2968  You accuse me of repeating nonsense and yet you've repeatedly lied about a 65% reduction coming from this study . Sorry, but it's pretty clear that you're letting a culture war dictate whatever little objectivity you have left.

  7369.  @samfetter2968  I've asked you 3 times where in the study you're getting 65% from so either you're lying or senile. You're saying that we shouldn't look at studies on transmission in a household when talking about transmission in hospitals because the building is different? 😂 Please show me a recent study in hospital transmissions of the Delta variant, comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated workers, because surely you have actual evidence to prove your ideas right? 😂 LOL. Again, I'm a TYT member. I've followed TYT for over 15 years and I even met Cenk. So I have no problems boosting traffic. 🙂 However it does not mean that I mindlessly agree with everything they say.

  7372.  @samfetter2968  Yeah, because the term "TYT Member" comes from their website memberships that they've had since like 2005 or something. Being YouTube paid subscriber, is a completely different thing that only started a couple years ago. People on Youtube have many different revenue streams and TYT has had a "TYT Insider" membership on their website for ages. Which I have been a part of. Apparently you don't understand that or what the definition of "troll" is. Again, I've been a long time supporter.

I've already stated that you can use ideas as a basis for developing governance and law, but it is no subtitute. If we were talking about rights as an organism I would say that "ideas" can be food for that organism. However without structure (government) and the ability to regulate, control, and protect itself. Then that organism can not exist.

The fact that you or I or anyone can't know what was in her head is precisely the reason why it's not a hate crime. I can speculate that it was "unconscious bias", but without any other evidence that's as far as anyone can go. We can't accuse any aggression against a person who happens to be a minority as a hate crime unless you have irrefutable proof as to the aggressors motivations.
    1
  7397.  @jimballard1186  Yes because there is a big difference between going out and randomly beating up black, gay, or trans people because you don't like them vs. accusing someone of stealing because they fit a profile in your mind of a thief. If that weren't the case then store owners all across this country would be accused of "hate crimes" every time they thought a black person was shop lifting. The same thing for police officers who profile. This literally happens every day, because of unconscious (sometimes even conscious) bias, however they are not considered hate crimes.
    1
  7398.  @jimballard1186  And racially profiling is not considered a hate crime, assaulting someone because they are black is. Again, the motivation for the assault was because she thought he committed a crime. At best all you can say is that the reason she thought he committed the crime was because a young black kid fit her "profile" of a thief. However her motivation was clearly to get her phone back, not to assault black people and send a message to other black people. Again, every crime against a minority is not a hate crime and if we cannot distinguish between neo-nazi's looking for minorities to beat up vs. unconscious bias and wrongly accusing a person of a crime then we're going to have problems and constantly crying wolf. So I agree with the other charges, just not the hate crime which will probably easily get dismissed.
    1
  7399.  @jimballard1186  Again, profiling someone is not the same as a hate crime. Even if you can prove that he was profiled based on race, and not based on some other factor like his age or the fact that he was carrying a similar phone, it isn't the bases for a hate crime.
    1
  7400.  @jimballard1186  How many had the same kind of phone on their hands? Again, profiling someone isn't the same as a hate crime. You can make an argument that he was profiled unfairly and there was racial bias that went into her accusations. However the motivation for the assault was getting her phone back it wasn't "I'm going to attack a black person because they are black".

It's the same with guns. The more guns available the more opportunities there are for homicides, suicides, and fatal accidents. The data clearly shows that.

Millions more covered, kids can to stay on their parent's coverage longer, less americans going bankrupt or dying due to "pre-existing conditions" 4. Reformed student aid & extended Pell grants to low income students. 5.Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act 6. Repeal of DADT. I could go on, but it's likely you care less about info & more about what media tells you to be "outraged" about for easy ratings.

Sorry, you're not going to magically "fix society" or the 100s of reasons why people snap while people die by the THOUSANDS from guns. Most "criminals" are also victims of society, something you fail to realize. 3. That's the point those women were killed by a weapon making it easy to kill on impulse. Would they willingly trade their life for your hobby? I don't think so.

  7416. So the caller's idea is simply to "vote for the next guy" who's own plan not only does NOTHING about the deficit but in fact adds TRILLIONS to it? I have no respect for people who simply wan to "vote for new guy" based on absolutely no real ideas... Idiotic knee jerk reactions are not going to fix our problems.

  7421.  @JohnJ469  I don't think you realized what I said. No one shows up looking for a job with a chip on their shoulder. Is that what you actually think happens? Seriously, why would you automatically believe something so absurd?
    1
  7422.  @JohnJ469  I've probably interviewed hundreds of people for jobs. I've seen plenty of people pretend they know things they really don't and make up all sorts of crazy stories, but I've never seen anyone with a "chip on their shoulder". Usually that sort of entitlement comes from people who already have jobs, rely on "seniority", and got their position because they are friends or family to an executive or someone else with power or celebrity. The people who are actually hungry for work are not like that unless it is due to mental issues or a substance abuse problem. So I really have no idea WTF you're talking about.

  7423.  @JohnJ469  HR has no idea how to qualify people for specific skills other than looking at a bullet list on a resume. So no I'm not talking about HR. Yes I've spent many years supervising and mentoring people and again I have no idea what you're talking about. Yes people can have disagreements and personalities often clash, but almost coming to blows is not at all normal... I can only guess that is one of three things: 1. You're making up or attributing negative behavior to something else. 2. You work in an industry where it is more common for some reason because of a culture of machismo (police, military, etc.). 3. You're actually the one who is fostering or contributing to a hostile work environment and maybe you really need to do some introspection... Either way, the fact that people feel that way is almost always a management problem. And numerous studies have shown that discrimination in hiring takes place all the time.

  7424.  @JohnJ469  I already considered mental illness, substance abuse, and I gave option #2 So I've been accepting all sorts of scenarios outside of what I've experienced. Unfortunately when you're dealing with poor people you're dealing with people who the system has failed since birth. Inadequate education, exposure to toxic chemicals, lack of health care, lack of a stable home, etc. I can certainly imagine you are going to come across more people who are less likely to be rational all the time because poverty can literally stunt a person's growth mentally and physically. However, someone born relatively well off like the dude in this video who never had to worry about nutrition, a stable home, and access to great education, is far less likely to have those problems. Pointing out the fact that there have been numerous issues of misogyny, sexual assault, rape in the military as well as numerous cases corruption, racism, and violence in various police precincts around the country isn't prejudice, it is stating a fact. That does not mean I think all people in the military and police are bad people or make bad workers. If you cannot acknowledge that "problems exist" without thinking it is personal then you are the one with the bias not me. Like I was saying before, Institutions/systems create these problems not people.

  7429. Nazism was a form of fascism. Fascism is a right wing, nationalist, authoritarian regime. If you don't understand the difference between right wing nationalism and social democracies like Denmark, Sweden, Finland, etc. Then should do some research instead of regurgitating the propaganda someone fed to you. For the last time Nazi's HATED the social democratic (left wing) parties in Germany. It's as moronic as thinking the names "republican" & "democratic" in the US represents what they do.

  7430. OK..... How is this any different than police using helicoptors to patrol the skies looking for escaped criminals? This happens all the time. Personally I don't see the difference betwen that and this case. I think people are more freaked out by the fact that "it's a drone" and we associate that with "bombing people" which is something completely different. It does make sense and probably saves a lot of energy to search for criminals using a drone than a helicopter. Just Sayin...

If you asked those individual reporters if they thought the US does everything good in the world they would probably agree with you that the US doesn't, but it's not like you can go on a diatribe about Vietnam and the entire Iraq war in a single segment.... You have to present stories in a way that anyone watching can understand. So it's a bit annoying how Kyle presents things as if "CNN" is a single person with a single mindset that is just now waking up.

  7433. There are a myriad of reasons. Don't think that everyone is "just like you" and should have ID. Since there is ZERO evidence of masses of illegial immigrants risking deportation by waltzing into government facilities to vote fraudulently as dead registered voters. You should ask yourself "Why disenfranchise thousands of voters by forcing them to have IDs?" Voter suppression has been going on in this country ever since the "poll tax". It should sicken every American who values democracy.

  7434.  @Etheoma  I get that, but at the same time I don't see it as anymore difficult than dealing with the problems with Nuclear. Which isn't cost effective. It take many years to build a nuclear power plant, waste is another issue no matter how small it is. An unexpected earthquake or other disaster in the wrong spot suddenly can cause irreparable damage that would permanently irradiate an area for hundreds of years (thousands of years maybe?)... Meanwhile, yes we need to recycle solar panels, but keep in mind we need to recycle A LOT of things and recycling that needs to be part of our plan regardless. This country produces so much food and e-waste it's ridiculous. Solar panels last like 30 years or longer and that technology is just getting better and better and the newer solar panels last much longer than previous ones. A solar panel pretty much has the same lifespan as a nuclear plant without the enormous costs in building and maintaining that plant. Bottom line is that it seems to me that investing and furthering solar technology is a far safer and cost effective path than building more nuclear plants that are far more dangerous to test and develop and has NEVER shown to be cost effective even after all of these decades. Nuclear energy cannot exist without huge subsidies, meanwhile small businesses can get into solar and wind without a huge investment. The entire country can put it's mind share around solar technology, the same can't be said for nuclear which has a FAR higher barrier to entry.
    1
  7435.  @Etheoma  Sorry, but the fact that nuclear reactive generates power continuously doesn't magically make nuclear more "cost effective", that's not how that equation works.... The reality is that nuclear reactors are super expensive to build and super expensive to maintain and to handle waste and water properly. Because of the huge costs and maintenance involved there is no nuclear facility that exists without heavy government subsidies. The nuclear industry in this country cannot exist without the billions in subsidies that it gets from the government each year.
    1
  7436.  @Etheoma  Also all you need to do is Google the costs of solar vs nuclear and you can see that the costs for solar are a fraction of nuclear.
    1
  7437. The carbon footprint of nuclear is more than solar. I have no idea where you're getting your information from, but mining and enriching uranium as well as building huge nuclear plants and water treatment facilities. requires A LOT of carbon to do. It seems that pro nuclear people think we can just snap our fingers and have huge nuclear facilities magically appear and divert and treat a massive amount of water easily. So they completely ignore building and decommissioning these facilities.
    1
  7438.  @Etheoma  The bottom line is that the cost per kw for nuclear is several times that of solar and has been for a long time. You can't argue around basic math.
    1
  7439.  @Etheoma  The thing you don't get is that I'm not using personal "metrics". The data on cost per kw or mw on solar vs wind vs nuclear has been available for many years. You're not somehow "proving" anything in YouTube comments. We already have real world data. advanced nuclear - $6000/kW battery storage - $2000/kW geothermal - $2800/kW wind - $1600/kW offshore wind - $6500/kW solar PV (tracking)- $2000/kW solar PV (fixed) - $1800/kW
    1
  7440.  @Etheoma  Again, we have real world data on these things. See my previous comment or look it up the data yourself instead of just blindly guessing in a comment... We have been storing and transferring energy in this country and many other countries for nearly a hundred years. That isn't somehow unique to solar and wind.

  7442. Precisely. It's unfortunate if my car breaks down. However the solution isn't to beat it with a sledge hammer because that's what it "deserves". Yet that's the mentality most have to criminality. Scientifically we know what factors contribute to criminal behavior & what mitigates it. Yet politics/courts primarily focus on emotions/opinions which do nothing to reduce actual problems. The US with the highest incarceration rate in the world doesn't appear to be stopping its crime & homicides.

  7443. ALL the other candidates in the race have backed off from Medicare for All.... Bernie and Elizabeth have not. She deserves all the credit in the world for not doing what literally everyone else in the race has done. So to pretend that she's not going to fight for Medicare For All when she has a record of going against Obama and her own party when it came to the CFPB is kind of a jerk move quite honestly. If you're going to apply that standard then you should apply the same thing to everything Tulsi Gabbard says, because if you go back a few years she's pretty much had the opposite position on just about every issue.

Trump pulled CDC representatives out of China, disbanded the pandemic infrastructure that had been built up by multiple presidents, Trump ignored what was happening with the pandemic for months, and then we had millions killed all over the world. How about the bigotry Trump spewed for years that increased hate crimes in this country exponentially also leading to mass shootings everywhere?

  7446. @semperFi4ever100 The problem with capitalism is alienation. No one buyer (or worker) actually knows the ramifications of their actions. This is why capitalism has no soliutions for hyperconsumerism, pollution, global warming, child labor, slave labor, corruption, toxic food food products, income inequality, etc. We have the technology to evolve the economic model so that it truly "economize" resources, because the path we're on is unsustainable by all scientific measures.

  7449. JR started to make a good point until he made it into a racial issue. The problem is our innate facination with the "freak show".

There is a reason why shows like the "Jerry Springer Show" became so popular and pretty much killed the informational talk shows before it.

  7450. You being repetitive is just preaching to the choir.... And yes you are very repetitive. I honestly think the problem is just the way the question was phrased, because a lot of people don't equate "mental health" to something being "medicinal". It's easier for people to think of cannabis as medicinal when people use it to treat cancer, pain, epilepsy, etc. It's a little hazy when you talk about depression or anxiety. My guess is if you directly asked about psychedelics treating mental disorders or anxiety you would get about 5-15% more people

  7451. The flip side of your argument is the idea that we somehow cannot have ANY accountability of an organization that arguably effected the outcome of the 2016 election simply because they calls themselves "journalists"? The flip side of precedent is pretending that no organization can be held accountable for espionage or subterfuge as long as they call themselves "journalists". That precedent is just as bad IMO. A foreign country can just setup a news blog, hack and disseminate information that, cause people to die and simply say "you can't touch us because we're journalists".... It's one thing to be pro 1st amendment. It's another to let that blind you to things that may not have anything to do with journalism and truth. You cannot be pro transparency and support lack of transparency by WikiLeaks.... Also Grand Juries are secret by nature and what's wrong with Chelsea Manning just repeating what she already said? It seems like the idea is to create controversy and make claims about what the government is trying to do when you have nothing to substantiate those claims. This no different than all the conspiracies that the Right makes up about Trump being investigated.

  7452. This is not just dehumanization, this is racism. This comes from ingrained racist viewpoint about a specific groups of people that he was taught since birth.

  7453. Obesity is caused by sugars and processed foods. It has nothing to do with meat. It is more related to the industrialization of agricultural. Your view of what is "healthy" is very flawed. Humans have been eating meat long before we were ever even classified as "homo sapiens" so you're talking about 1- 2 million years of evolution under a meat rich diet. Obesity is related to sugar and processed starches and other crap which is fairly new to our diet. Even "bread" is very new to our diets.

  7454. As long as we live in a society that values "money" over "well being" this will continue to happen. Capitalism is nothing more than a game we created for ourselves to manage certain aspects of our society. When you start to value the game over our humanity then you have a situation where amoral entities (corporations) run our society. Games are addictive and when you are winning the game you want to keep on winning.

Why the hell do you think ithe Fed is completely independent and private?! The government can't even AUDIT the Fed!

  7458. @ggadguy Let stick with the facts please. The stimulis DID create jobs which is the concensus from economists, fact checks, etc.. The only people that say otherwise are those who ignore facts in favor of political ideology. Second closing tax loopholes is not the same as "cutting government" and bringing the troops home erases that job. Just look at all the NASA scientists/workers unemployed as well as private businesses closing in Cocoa Beach because the space shuttle program was cut.

  7476. Left winger here... I haven't seen a single study in the past year that antibodies from Covid "wear off" after someone is infected with Covid. In fact the opposite is true. There was some speculation about antibodies diminishing in the months after infection. However that has long since been disproven. Every major study this year comparing people who have recovered from Covid from the original strain to those who have been vaccinated have found equal or greater immunity in those who have recovered from Covid. The only exception being a small study in Kentucky that only involved a couple hundred people. For some reason the CDC cites that one study instead of the ones involving 40-50 thousand people. I would always tell people to get vaccinated over getting Covid however the fact that we don't talk about natural immunity at all in this country is rather ridiculous.

Because prison certainly isn't going to *fix* the problem. They acted out of immaturity. Do you think prison is going to make them better or worse for society?

We ban smoking ads, nudity, profanity, etc. in various areas for common good. Marketing toxic food and pharmaceuticals are FAR WORSE than nudity or profanity.

The years of time & energy he put into the actors and screenplay. Not to mention technology that he had to "invent" just to put his vision on screen. Making a film that brings joy to the world and redefines filmmaking should count for something.

  7495. Isn't regulation the key here? You can't be allowed to drive a car when drunk so the same rules should apply to having a gun. On the other hand if driving drunk is dangerous then why are bars allowed to have parking lots? I'm not particularly anti-gun or pro-gun, but just as with the anti-drug laws I do see a lot of hypocrisy in what we allow in our society when it comes to "dangerous" things.

  7496.  @bluearesoldier  He was supposed to SAVE LIVES.... WTF do you think the president's job is exactly? Tweeting? Owning the libs? Is that what you think? Trump was SUPPOSED to promote mask wearing, social distancing, testing do EVERYTHING he can to save as many lives as possible. But instead he turned those things in a nonsense culture war issue, held rallies and mass gatherings in in defiance of the guidelines from his own CDC. He ended up killing people like Herman Cain and hundreds of thousands of Americans died needlessly as a result of his downplaying. Sorry, but you're never going to convince me that lying to the public to make people feel good is somehow more important than saving lives. Try telling the thousands of people who have lost friends and family members that feeling good for a few months was worth it.

  7497.  @ShazzledWolf32  He did. 60-70 court cases demonstrated no evidence of a case and no evidence widespread election fraud. Most of the people arrested for actual voter fraud were Trump supporters. However that didn't stop Trump from lying that he "won in a landslide" when there was zero evidence for that. A lie that he used to raise millions of dollars from his gullible supporters and a lot of that money is going right into his pocket. Trump has always been a con man and a pathological liar.

  7498. Clearly you don't comprehend basic sentences. Who do I hate again? It's hilariously ironic that you mindlessly blame Obama then complain when people blame Bush. Don't you fund it pathetic that you don't care about real policies only cheerleading for your team? I care less about "Democrat" vs "Republican". I've moved passed that nonsense a long time ago, because I grew up and learned how to think fo myself. Unfortunately we have cheerleaders who only know how to speak in talking points.

  7502.  @curiousme7392  1. Her constant Islamophobia. 2. Criticizing Obama for not bombing Muslims enough. 3. Pretending that Islam is the biggest threat to the US. 4. Constantly using the military as a prop. 5. Being against the Iran Deal under Obama (before she changed to be in favor of it under Trump, but who knows what her position is now). 6. Blaming Democrats for not funding the border wall during the government shutdown. 7. Waffling on Torture and actually being conflicted on whether it should be used or not. 8. Being against Medicare For All. 9. She began her career bashing gay people before realizing it was political suicide as a Democrat. So then she changed her position. 10. Calling Biden's immigration policy "Open Borders", which is an obvious right wing smear. When she suddenly announces running for president as an independent or switches to a Republican, don't be surprised.... You wouldn't be shocked by her actions or words if you've been paying attention to this woman for years. At her core she's a right wing nationalist which is why she is very cozy with Modi and has a lot of support from Hindu nationalists.

  7503.  @curiousme7392  I didn't actually say anything about "gay marriage" now did I? Tulsi was actually openly anti-gay and worked for the anti-gay activist group that her father created.

  7504. Sounds like you're talking about Ana. Even in this clip how many times did Cenk said "Ana, you're right about that" "you're 100% correct on that". He constantly trying to give credit while also trying to make his point only to get interrupted by Ana over and over.

  7507.  @winterburden  News flash kid. You live in a country that practices socialism just like every other country in the world. The military is entirely socialized, the post office was literally written in the constitution. Go to your local public school, or go to a public library, or sit in a public park and learn something about how government works instead of the BS propaganda that you obviously listen to that is causing you to embarrass yourself terribly in these comments.

  7508.  @winterburden  So in other words you cannot address the facts of what I said. You can only all people "libtards" and various other names. Do you see how low information voters like you are thought of as jokes? Maybe inform yourself a little on the actual issues instead of just pretending you can get by with spouting labels like "socialism!" "liberal!" over and over when you don't even understand what those things mean.

  7510. I don't understand what Microsoft is doing with the Duo other than making Android better for companies like Samsung... I don't see the motivation behind it at all. They aren't going to have mass appeal on the hardware because the Galaxy Fold 2 is better in just about every way. It seems mostly a software play, but they're sharing those improvements with Samsung and Google, so... why would a lot of people specifically choose the Duo at that price when the hardware is weak and the apps designed for it are immature? I keep saying over and over that they should have designed the Duo as a companion device for a phone.

  7515. Being wrong knows no color. Studies in the UK and the US show that much of our economic advantage and disadvantage comes purely from the family you are born into. This advantage/disadvantage is passed on for generations. Furthermore there have been many studies clearly showing institutional racism is still in effect. Whether it comes to the looking for work, getting promoted, police enforcement, criminal justice system, etc. Furthermore social mobility is at an all time low in the US.

  7516. Who would be dumb enough to think that an investigation into Trump has to lead to a war? Our intelligence community already confirmed that Russian influenced the election in multiple ways. Has anyone suggested we should launch nukes? Of course not, that would be stupid. The only problem we have are people who just want to keep their head in the sand rather than let the truth come out.

  7517. Anyone that gets ahead in an elitist world has to sacrifice their identity and some of their ideals in order to support the estabolishment. Work in any corporation and you'll see the same thing. The fact that Obama is black has little to do with it. However it's the fact that he's black is what makes it surprising to *US* because we typically don't associate that behavior with minorities, but rather old white men who have typically been the ones climbing "social ladders"

  7518. Clearly the Judge has a bias, but then again so do half the judges on the Supreme Court. I think it's sad that it takes a bias judge to rule on the side of liberty. This country should NOT be creating laws denying what you can and cannot do with another consenting adult. Nor should be creating laws denying what you can do to yourself. It goes completely against the founding principles of this country which I thought were: Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness....

  7519. @feralkevin Governrment 101 Congress makes laws, the president signs them into law. What about the people who created and sponsored the bill? No one ever talks about that. Yes Obama ultimately signed it (with a signing statement saying he wouldn't enforce it) however lets not ignore the entire process that took place before it got to his desk. Lets also not forget how a different administration ignored law and started indefiniate detention, illegal wire tapping, & torture.

  7521. TOTAL Bullshit Kyle... You were one of the FIRST people claiming that Biden was going to implode A YEAR AGO and you kept repeating it over and over for months. It's nice to pretend you have the answers when you now know the outcome, but the fact is Biden wasn't anywhere close to being a threat until after South Carolina. No one in their right mind was focused on Biden compared to Bootigiedg or Bloomberg after the first three primaries. I get completely annoyed by talking heads pretending they have all the answers when they don't. Run for office, defend your seat, and then get back to me. Otherwise you're just guessing as much as anyone. The fact is WE GOT OUTMANEUVERED. We overestimated the ability for young voters to turn out and we underestimated the impact of endorsements and the influence that the establishment media had with older voters. No amount of pretending what you would do is going to change that.

  7523. Rather cute that Ana as a 31 year old thinks that she can relate to a 93 year old who is literally 3 times her age. So you think that because you learned something new 15 years later, it's the same as a culture ingrained into a person 60-80 years ago? I hope I always keep my mind open to change etc. even when I'm old, but most of the human race doesn't work that way.

Progressives have always wanted to deescalate tensions with Russia, to a fault some might say. Tulisi's "nation building" and "regime change war" talking point is nothing more than a BS talking point to appease the anti-war left. In reality she wants to increase bombing in the middle east and increase the military budget.

  7532.  @BrianWelsh-fx4st  I think you're talking about Tim calling Emma a pedophile in his response to their debate... Let's be clear. Schools have always censored their books and that book was in a HIGH SCOOL where high school kids are perfectly capable of understanding sex and sexuality. They are already seeing far worse online, in movies, and TV. This is nothing more than a new form of McCarthyism. Stop wasting our time with fake issues and pretending it is based on morality when it is just fear mongering over nonsense.

The US responded by with our interstate highway system, and large investments in education and public works. Obviously the UK had to go through it's own rebuilding process. The fact still remains that "cutting" and laying people off does not stimulate economic growth. No country that I'm aware of has EVER prospered economically through cutting.

  7549. Good. So now can you please stop framing your arguments "in a right wing friendly way" in an attempt to influence the 3 right wingers in your audience that you might convert? I'm getting tired of constantly comparing the right wing atrocity of the week to the bad thing that Hillary Clinton might have done 10 years ago or comparing Hunter Biden getting a cushy job because his dad was famous to Jared Kushner making hundreds of billions of dollars making deals with foreign powers while at the same time working for the white house and brokering trade deals between countries.

  7550. Wow what a shockingly dumb piece of proganda. First of all the commenter asked for "evidence" not some guying blogging nonesense. The American people need to understand what facts are vs ideological nonsense. "Facts" are supported and demonstrated by data and statistics. For example you look at times when taxes or raised or loweres and you see the effect on hiring rates. Facts are not just arguments that "make sense to you" they are ideas that can be TESTED with demonstrable data.

  7551. So we're going to trust a politician based on a speech vs a record spanning decades? Is that what we're doing now? Seriously have we learned nothing from Obama, Trump, etc? Her comments on the shutdown as well as her stances in the past make me not trust Tulsi Gabbard one bit. Right now she's saying what she needs to win a primary. She might win my trust later on, but right now I don't see a deadpan reading of progressive bulletpoints from a teleprompter as anything impressive.

  7553.  @kahetiger  Yes John is a godsend. I just wish he was more assertive when he's on with Ana/Cenk. I've been a TYT subscriber for probably well over a decade and I've pretty much watched the youtube channel since the beginning. The constant over the top emotional outbursts. repetitiveness, and pettiness is getting old. I wish they would be a lot more intellectual and informative. These days I feel like I'm just watching a one sided Twitter fight...
    1
  7554.  @kahetiger  I had a friend who stopped watching the TYT main show over 2 years ago specifically because of Ana and her bitching. So she's been getting like this for awhile. Although if you watch Ana in a debate or when she was talking to Ben Shapiro she's almost a completely different person. She's respectful, brings facts, and makes short good points. Not sure why she's not like that on her own show. It's like she just uses the show to vent and monologue. I wish the Damage Report got more budget and was able to focus on main stories more. I also watch a lot of the Majority Report which is more even keeled analysis and discission. TYTs constant over the top outrage over and over while repeating the same spiel on "corporations "and "the media" that the audience already knows about gets old after awhile.

  7557. Thom, I don't really care why George Bush released photos of Suddam's son. It makes little difference to me why the government releases information as long as the government is TRANSPARENT. So far all I've heard are excuses for not releasing the photos not facts. The fact is the governent works for us, they are not there to play mommy and daddy deciding what US citizens can and cannot see. WE decide that for ourselves.

  7559. Trump has far more to lose over this squabble than Musk... Trump is running for office. He has to win votes, Musk doesn't. So, it's pretty dumb for Trump to pick a fight with someone who has a lot of right-wing supporters. Musk has nothing to lose other than his pride. Meanwhile Trump could literally go to jail if he loses his base of support and criminal charges are filed against him. Having Musk openly turn against Trump and possibly get him to put millions of dollars into a PAC that hurts Trump politically is not a very smart thing to do. 😂

Sorry but arbitrary notions on the "size of government" based on abolutely NOTHING is ludicrous.

However the one thing we know that doesn't work is doing "nothing".

It's just creating an artificial requirement where one isn't necessary.

OF COURSE that is going to cause people to freak out. You could have just surrounded the guy and grabbed the kid. Does you have to solve every problem by shooting it? Not only could you have tased the child and killed him instantly, but the father could have cracked the kid's skull on the ground when he fell. And why were you having a dog bite the father's leg while he was already subdued? What the hell is wrong with cops these days?

  7580. @ATGwrestling Give me the title and I can look for it... Again, it doesn't matter how many taxes you list it doesn't make for a correlation between taxes and immigration. If you agree that people are generally "Happier", it would seem that taxes are largely irrelevant to people leaving. IMO this economic game we play creates an unhealthy fixation on *money* over our own well being. I was looking at GDP per capita based on nominal values which has Denmark at #6 at 55,986

  7582. It's interesting how Thom talks about how these people have crazy conspiracies surrounding pedophiles and then casually postulates that this might lead to a "mass genocide". Kind of ironic. I think this type of thinking is far more pervasive than we realize. It's becoming a feedback loop where craziness on the right, leads to some craziness on the left, which causes even more craziness on the right. The internet, along with Covid, partisanship, and tribalism is creating a lot of strange behavior.

  7583.  @r.daillee1034  I should have wrote "mass murder" instead of "mass genocide", but he does so at 09:30 Anyone online talking about each other and these groups is part of the echo chamber whether they like it or not. Though obviously Thom doesn't have the same online following as he used to. However I don't think people realize how much back and forth is just reacting to the extremes on either side.

  7584.  @r.daillee1034  I would say that there isn't any evidence that the people holding signs and waiting around for "Zombie JFK Jr" were violent or spreading any violence.... However the assumption here is to immediately lump them together with anyone related to q-anon who has ever suggested anything violent... That's really no different than the right wing lumping everyone related to BLM with the small number of people who did crime and vandalism during the protests now isn't it? People rarely realize the bubbles that they're in.

  7585.  @jacobew2000  Like I said there's a reason why we created them. 😂 Did you not read? Furthermore: --" If I can pass the tests, why do I have to join " Which tests? What is "passing"? How do I know you actually "passed" and aren't scamming me and my family? When you can answer these questions you will start to understand how society works. Safe & fair societies aren't created by "magic" like many libertarians think they are.
    1
  7586.  @jacobew2000  Again... Respond with answers not empty platitudes. "Which tests?" "How do you know if someone passed?" and "What is considered passing?" There are plenty of places in the world were you can get scammed or get fake medicines with unknown ingredients that will slowly poison you to death. Or you can end up in jail because you given fake legal advice. If that's the kind of "freedom" you want, then go for it. The reality is, "not causing harm" is not "free". Libertarians seriously need to grow up and understand that the society they live in, didn't just magically appear.

  7587. The worst thing about the ad for me was the assumption that black people who go to the army are the ones who are productive in society and therefore vote republican... Especially since the republican party are notorious for not taking care of the vets when they come back and a large percentage of the homeless are in fact vets.

  7588. I can define pornography pretty easily: "engaging in sexual activity on camera for the purpose of sexual stimulation". However, your negative definition of "woke" makes no sense. Protesting a single speaker at a private university because you don't like their political views has nothing to do with serving social justice. Banning or restricting abortion rights or preventing immigrants from pursuing legal means of immigration, that is an ideological authoritarian policy. The right wing wants to pretend that criticism against racist, misogynistic, or transphobic ideas is somehow authoritarian. Please stop feeding into that narrative. You don't somehow have a right to get paid for speeches, you don't have a right to a platform at a private organization to spread ideas that people dislike and don't want to hear. Also, to be fair to Trump, attempting to sue Bill Maher for a joke is also not "authoritarianism". You can argue that it was coercion, but not authoritarianism. However when Trump suggested changing the libel laws to go after reporters, then that would be authoritarianism.

  7590. You have a very limiting viewpoint. Socialization doesn't require "elimination" or "violence" anymore than privatization does. Quoting revolutionaries is silly. You can just as easily quote neo-cons on the idea of war to "spread freedom and democracy". Making it about violent overthrow means you don't understand what Marx was advocating and how "communism" is something that never existed. You can reduce the need for something by making it obsolete, It doesn't require violence or oppression.

Steve is right, you have NO CLUE what steps were taken and sometimes you cannot prevent people from taking their own life. Bullying happens all the time throughout school. You can't always know what is going to drive a person to kill themselves. Putting the blame all on the administrators and pointing fingers is cruel and unfair.... In other words BULLYING....

  7592. 4:15 Sorry Kyle you're completely misreading that.... The fact that 31% of Americans know that what Trump did was wrong or "Not Proper" simply means that there are 31% who may not know the laws involved... These are people who can be convinced that what he did was illegal if a case is laid out for them. You should be reading that as 72% Americans know what the president did was wrong, which is a HUGE number. Also keep in mind that impeachment doesn't even require a criminal act.

  7596.  @retroboomer3197  The prosecutor can charge whatever they want, that doesn't mean there is actual evidence for it. Words have definitions and if we want to go around changing definitions out of convenience then we're not a real society. I also disagree with charging people as adults just because we're extra angry about what they did. Our justice system shouldn't be about vengeance, but that's what people use it for.
    1
  7597.  @dr3w399  Planning a murder isn't the definition of terrorism. The difference between murder and manslaughter is premeditation. For example, Charles Manson was convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The idea that we're suddenly calling everything "terrorism" now, is really disturbing. Apparently, we've completely adopted the language of the Bush Administration and that's really sad for our society.
    1
  7598.  @retroboomer3197  I think you know what my point was.... Prosecutors often bring charges they don't actually get a conviction on. If the prosecutor cannot prove "terrorism" then he's not going to get convicted on that charge. It is far more likely that he will get convicted on several counts of murder, not "terrorism"
    1
  7599.  @dr3w399  That's not what makes something terrorism. The definition is as follows: "the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives." Without some kind of ideological or political motive to coerce a population, this is simply murder.
    1
  7600.  @KB-og6ze  You guys are seriously acting like Neocons.... Charles Manson was not charged with terrorism he was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Just because something is awful doesn't mean we call it terrorism. This country seriously lost its mind with 911 and the war in Iraq. And the fact that the left automatically internalizes all the rhetoric coming from Neocons and the Right wing is pretty sad.
    1
  7601.  @bryanjames7528  911 had a clear political motive. So did the El Paso shooter, the people who attacked synagogues, as well as the guy who mailed pipe bombs to Democrats. So don't be ridiculous. Suddenly the left wants to act like Neocons and call everything terrorism in order to sound important. What a sad state this country is in.
    1
  7602.  @bryanjames7528  I see. I just read an AP article talking about the law in Michigan. So basically, in Michigan after 911 they broadened the law under which "terrorism" can be applied. This is a classic "slippery slope" and it's sad that as a society we allowed the "war on terror" to cause us to call a lot of things "terrorism" when they are not in fact terrorism. This kid had a mental break and a death wish and because of the gun culture he was indoctrinated into he thought that guns were the outlet for his problems. By calling this kid a "terrorist" you effectively allow people to ignore the issues of mental health and the gun culture.
    1
  7603.  @KB-og6ze  Huh? I wasn't actually calling you a Neocon. I said you guys are starting to sound like the Neocons from the early 2000s, because to them everything was terrorism and even protesting and civil disobedience was terrorism. This is why BLM protesters were also labeled "terrorists" last year by the GOP. It's become more of a purgative and a way of making something sound more serious rather than a specific problem. If a school shooting 20 years ago was "murder" and a school shooting now is called "terrorism" then you can clearly see how the goal post has shifted in this country all because of the "war on terror" that was waged by the Neocons. We're not solving a problem, we're creating scapegoats. Instead of actually addressing the problems with mental health and gun culture, we label a guy a "terrorist" and move on. That's exactly what the Neocons did.
    1
  7604.  @bryanjames7528  I think it's the opposite.... Mental health and gun culture became issues when he pulled the trigger. What exactly do people hope to gain by calling it terrorism? Would calling the events at Columbine or Sandy Hook "terrorism" have solved anything? Because the root of those problems was mental health and gun culture. Calling this terrorism doesn't actually address a problem.

  7605. I don't think there will be one. The GOP has run out of ideas and that includes all the dirty tricks. People have already caught on to using money to win elections, voter suppression, race baiting, class warfare, and nearly every trick in the book. Thier sneaky tactics are so obvious and their candidate is so weak, that anything they try will only backfire.

  7607.  @cohenpeter  There is no study showing any kind of protective factor when it comes to covid vaccines and the immunocompromised. Assuming there is such a study is just based on a bias not science. Delta transmissibility was only 30% lower in households according to a UK study, and that was only in households where they were fully vaccinated within 2 months after that 2-month period there was far less difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated. In fact, they showed that even though someone may not show symptoms when they are vaccinated. Their viral loads and ability to shed the virus was identical to someone completely unvaccinated. The main difference was that the virus survived in vaccinated persons for a shorter period. Which means you can surround someone immunocompromised with vaccinated people and that person can still get infected which actually happened to a relative of mine who is currently hospitalized. However, "the left" ignored those studies and continued to push a narrative that only the unvaccinated spread the virus when that was completely untrue. They even created policies and mandates around this idea, when it was never true. The 20,000 fully vaccinated people that were hospitalized in NY as of Jan 1st is not "a few". Yes. the 1.5% hospitalization rate for unvaccinated is technically 7 times larger than the 0.2% rate for fully vaccinated, but both are pretty small numbers. Especially when compared to Delta or the original strain. I just don't think it's worth pointing fingers and getting into a culture war battle over it. Do you think anyone is actually influenced by being turned into a political caricature? I'm not giving equal weight to any side. Just pointing out that there is a clear bias that is being ignored. When you ignore that bias then people feel like they are being lied to and gaslit.

Of course there is a big difference between appointing someone who is qualified vs appointing your kids.... However anytime you have a system based on personal preference you're going to see favoritism.

  7631. The Right DID NOT go after Ro Khanna in the same way they went after AOC and other progressive women. Not by a long shot. So to say "just do what Ro Khanna did" is a little naïve. Bernie Sanders has also been in congress for DECADES where we didn't have this hyper partisan environment. To compare what Sanders accomplished after building up relationships over decades to a progressive freshmen congressmen under Trump is apples and oranges.... There needs to be someone on the left who spends all of their time shifting the overton window and getting media attention. That's AOC. For the Right it was Trump for 4 years. Trump didn't really accomplish jack squat in 4 years, but he single handedly was able to shift the political zeitgeist for his entire party. We need someone who can take the hits and shift the zeitgeist on the Left and remain strong so that the political conversation is shifted. We also need people who can work with the other side. Good cop, Bad cop.

  7658. They're both not wrong, but Ana is more wrong.... Republican politicians have used racism, xenophobia, and bigotry, over and over BECAUSE IT WORKS. The "Southern Strategy" caused a lot of conservative racists to join the Republicans Party. They weren't somehow tricked into becoming racists. Similarly today Republicans have started adopting Q-anon and "stop the steal" nonsense, because that is what a lot of their voters want. If you don't understand that dynamic you're a fool. If you think talking nicely to republicans while conservative media is calls leftist commies and pedophiles, then you end up looking like you're just as feckless and weak as the Democratic leadership calling for a "strong Republican party". That tactic might work for a handful of normie Republicans, but it's not going to work for everyone. Furthermore, you cannot have political discourse without generalization. Even Ana talking about people voting for Obama are the same as people supporting Trump is a broad generalization that isn't specific nor factual. Generalizations are often necessary to make a specific point. and the fact is Democrats are far more likely to welcome investigations and accountability than Republicans are. That's a fact. At the same time it's also good to address things that we have common ground on, but you cannot let "common ground" dictate how you address every issue, because you come across as weak and without conviction.

I say our economy's reliance on debt itself is a problem. This was way before 1995... We rely more on numbers on a computer rather than real goods and services. People, businesses, and our country cannot function without going in debt to a bank. We have companies like Twitter that survive on nothing but debt to investors.

He got sworn into office having to pay a 25 million fine for defrauding students with a fake university. Never mind all the money him and his family got from Russian oligarchs, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China (Ivanka patents, ZTE, etc.) and blanketly trying to funnel money to his businesses while he was president and running for president and all the donation scams since then. Ivanka & Jared made between $172 million and $640 million while they were in the white house. Yet you somehow think that is "arguably" worse than suspecting something is wrong with the Clinton foundation. Really dude? OF COURSE IT IS FAR WORSE and that is just the stuff we know about.

There are bad situations and there are worse situations. You can assume these kids work, not because some evil company kidnapped them, but it was out of necessity.

Again, it's not like people were kidnapped and forced to work. They came to the plant looking for work and someone looked the other way when hiring them. Also we're not going to magically fix a decades long Immigration problem tomorrow. So what exactly do you expect millions of families to do TODAY? Starve and be homeless in order to stick to your moral standards? Kicking people off a job does not change their current economic hardship one bit. It only makes it worse. Moral absolutes are easy when you're not in a situation that requires challenging them. Leaving hardship and violence, risking death by crossing deserts and borders, immigrating to a country illegally, working in a country illegally, etc. These are all choices people made because they didn't have better ones. Just like building a wall doesn't make that situation better, nether does kicking people off jobs or fining companies.

You don't like it when it's done to you, so you shouldn't do it to me. Capitalism is coercive and manipulative, but you haven't explained the manipulation by this company in this specific case. There isn't anything indicating that people were being forced to work or abused. You and others are simply making that up. All we know is that people were hired without questioning age or citizenship. There are millions of undocumented people working all over the country, obviously not every one is being abused or forced to work. Asking whether these families are better or worse off is a question that should be asked if people actually care about them. Don't you think? The company firing a bunch of people so they are not liable doesn't seem like the outcome you wanted. So what should they have done? Not offered the work at all? Not hire people that are sympathetic to undocumented migrants and only hire US citizens?

Instead we're only focusing on the "evil company" without offering alternatives. I'm all for community efforts as well as providing a safety nets and aid for people. But that should be part of the conversation before fining companies and forcing them to throw a lot of people out of work... My biggest problem is only looking at it from one side of the equation, because I can guarantee that if there were legal, safer, and better alternatives, then those immigrants would have already choose those options and wouldn't be working at meat plants. But when you have language and legal issues, then your options are FAR more limited than your average US citizen. A lot of times these "under the table" and "legally questionable" jobs are all people have. For some families, taking those jobs away might be the difference between being poor and living in poverty.

Conservatives fight against waste, Teddy Rosevelt and Eisenhower were some of the biggest conservationist presidents, conservatives also mix religion & nationalism with government just like the Nazi's So does that make all conservatives Nazi's too? Sigh.... idiotic The fact that you'd rather listen to bullshit propoganda, instead of ACTUAL wars and ACTUAL athoritarian policies going on is pretty fucking sick. Just like the german citizens who listened to propoganda while ignoring genocide.

Is the solution to classify all single women as "child abusers" and take their child away? Because abuse in foster care is somehow better? Growing up parentless is so much better?

  7736.  @Shua01  A lot of republicans voted for Trump who honestly thought that that injecting disinfectant or sunlight might cure a virus. He also thought that building a wall would do something about immigration even though most people travel on planes. So I'm pretty sure that voting based on feelings isn't limited to a single party.

These were really poor choices for logic issues in the movie.... There were far better ones to choose from.

  7740.  @cliffgiel7289  Yup. Agree with Cenk most of the time, but I think his natural bias against Pelosi is getting in the way of him thinking straight. Somehow he thinks impeachment is ruined because Pelosi didn't hand documents over to the Senate right away? No, the impeachment already happened there's nothing changing that and Republicans pretending that impeachment didn't happen because they didn't get documents is the argument that the average person is not going to understand. Also this impeachment process is unprecedented there is no way you can accurately predict what is going to happen over the next few weeks. However screaming over and over that you basically agree with Republican talking points certainly doesn't help...

If you have a good idea, you bring it to the american people and fight for it. Reagan created "Regan Democrats" because he stood on principles that he brought DIRECTLY to the american people who bought in to it. Being the "deal maker in chief" does NOT win elections. It just makes you look weak, shady, and your ideas worthless.

  7742. @ggadguy You already agreed that individuals cannot possibly make these types of decisions on all food products because they don't have the knowledge to do so. So you've already invalidated "millions of individuals" as any kind of option based on reality. The truth is Libertarians are really calling for democracy. Their fallacy is that they believe they can get there through a mythical "free market". Pure free market captialism will *never* be democratic because it is inherently corrupting.

  7743. @spearhafoc That's all you can come up with? Seriously? That a medic might have to pull back a bit of cloth if they ever have treat a head wound? I suppose we should just ban shoes and socks for all those foot and ankle injuries as well right? Might as well get rid of shirts too so they can treat back injuries easier. Sorry, but a weak argument on potential "injury treatment" is not an explaination of how it effects the *game*. Even if there was a risk it would be *their* risk.

  7744. This guy is just BEGGING to feel victimized over something. You can argue against male circumcision, as many people do, but to put into the context of "males are more oppressed compared to women" in society is just absurd. He's not even circumcised....
    1
  7745.  @ywtcc  It's much easier to compare economics and power. For example just compare the earning power of women vs men as well as the leadership positions of men vs women in a society. You could also base it on the percentage of women vs men in the workforce to account for women who choose more traditional gender roles (housewife, etc.). However that wouldn't account for women who are forced into those roles because of societal pressures or laws (like in Saudi Arabia) so you have to account for that as well. Generally I would measure oppression as a function of individual and group aspirations that are pitted against societal obstructions.
    1
  7746.  @ywtcc  Perhaps you should re-read what I said because I never implied that wage labor was necessary. Just that it is something that can be used to measure relative oppression. When "infant mortality" is used to indicate societal health or a healthcare system it does not mean that only people who can give birth are healthy. I also have no idea how you're relating that measurement to fascism that makes absolutely no sense. I didn't take your comment as advocating slavery because I understood the context of what you were talking about so try not to take what I say out of context or make other implications. Again, my definition of relative oppression is a measurement of individual/group aspirations pitted against societal obstruction. Economics and power (executives, government leadership positions, etc.) are an easier ways of measuring that disparity. And wages are not just a measure of how much time someone spends working. Unless you somehow think millionaires work a thousand times more than other people and billionaires work a million times longer than other people.

  7747.  @ywtcc  Measuring stress is not the same as measuring oppression. First, not all stress is negative. That's a common misconception. Secondly someone can experience stress all the time through a job, leadership, pregnancy, sports activity, etc. it doesn't mean they are being oppressed. Third, surveys and "self reporting" is not as reliable as other methods. Corporate power is just as important as political power. Which is why I correctly used the term "power" instead of "politics" because I wasn't just referring to government power. I was referring to all kinds of power dynamics. For example you can measure various types of members who get promoted at an organization (corporate, educational, etc.) and measure the ratio of people who started vs. get opportunities and promotions over time. I already responded to your criticism when I brought up infant mortality. Lying about that is really not a good look.

  7750. @twk373 The purpose of regulations and entities like the SEC are to protect investors and people from corporate and individual abuses. Just like with criminal laws and cops. This is to prevent things like Enron, Bernie Maddoff stealing billions of dollars, etc. Get rid of the cops and this what happens... Which has pretty much nothing to do with recessions... The fed was created to lesson the impact of recessions and you can argue wether it has helped or hurt in the long run.

Just mention "George Soros" Harry Reid commented on the Mosque because he's in the middle of a campaign. He's covering his ass since his state is more conservative and against "foreigners"

  7754. I heard about CNN+ from all the online news outlets gloating over its failures. However, I think you're missing the cost aspects of it... It doesn't' take that much money (relatively) to put something online. They could have built up their online presence over time and offered their streaming service for free, and slowly built up an audience by just offering additional footage from their main shows. Instead, they spent hundreds of millions for content that they immediately expected people to pay for instead of growing their presence organically like so many other online platforms. It seems like they tried to do the same model as Disney and HBO without realizing that those companies already owned proven content that people were willing to pay for. No one expects a new online business to be a success in the first few weeks, if their costs weren't so absurdly high, they could have road things out for a year or two and have the agility to see what works and what doesn't.

  7757. I really don't get why the stance on "get tested" would be different for unvaccinated vs vaccinated... It's not like you cannot transmit the virus if you're vaccinated and a recent study shows that the Delta variant transmits only a 1/3rd less in fully vaccinated households. Also there is almost no difference in transmitting Covid if you were vaccinated over two months ago, because that protection against infection wanes after a couple months even if you don't manifest symptoms. So if you're a corporation concerned about the virus transmitting to other people you would have the same procedures for people people who are vaccinated (masks, social distance, testing, etc.).

Just because a dog happens to be a Rottweiler or a Pit-bull doesn't mean they are more likely to attack you. Dogs don't prance back and forth around sniffing the ground when they are being aggressive... If the dog had a tail you would have seen it wagging. Cops should really be trained to know the difference between an aggressive dog and a friendly dog for their own safety.

  7765. You know we have data for this.... There's no need to guess or inject your opinion. We've had MANY minimum wage increases over the years and you can find studies correlating minimum wage and unemployment in many countries around the world. The fact is there is no relationship with minimum wage and unemployment. In fact you can find many cases where an increase in minimum wage was followed by a DECREASE in unemployment. Those saying otherwise are simply following political philosophy.

Which is illegal under international law. Arabs want freedom just like anyone else. Blindly supporting the right wing of Israel fuels terrorism like 911 and works against a peace process.

  7772. I never thought "arming everyone" was ever a good point.

If the fact that we almost ended humanity a few times during this period didn't scare people out of this mindsett then it's going to take a lot longer for humanity to learn it's lesson.

Specifically tracking the lineage of the virus which has never been shown to have any connection what so ever to anyone working at the lab. A peer reviewed study by an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona shows clearly coming from the Wuhan market and a recent international study from a few months ago reconfirms this and specifically indicating animal to human transmission. Also, relatives of the SARS-Cov-2 strain have been found in bat caves around Laos which is more evidence of a natural origin. The only information related to a lab leak is just people talking about it in the early days of the pandemic. Literally nothing beyond people speculating with each other. And now people are speculating about the early speculation. 😂 Sorry, but that isn't science

If those were organic ideas you'd never apply them to the poor, because it makes no sense in that context. Democracy IS like a machine. It has many different forms and moving parts. That's why we call what we have a "system of government". Therefore we can identify what's corrupting the system and deal with it instead of blaming the system itself.

Sorry Ebay, is not going to tell you the level of Aflatoxins in peanut butter, Mercury in fish or 1000's of toxins causing, cancer, birth defects, alziemers, and other illnesses taking years to manifest. The notion that after enough people die they will eventually figure it out and rate it online is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.

  7817. Two points Cenk. 1. Do you think the "fashion" industry is not about "hot" women turning guys on? It's not... That's what chicks in Hollywood movies, playboy, & porn is for. Obviously you don't see overly skinny women there. 2. That was a weak sauce apology. I would have given you a pardon, but instead of showing some humility and respect for this girl & her father. You decided to double down. Clearly you have issues with the fashion industry & skinny people that go beyond this story...

We can figure out if an idea works or not beyond having people just gamble on that idea. The problem is there is no motivation in our society to find out if something is actually beneficial or not because everything is put through the filter of making a profit.

They criticize the democratic establishment literally every single day.

It's funny how clueless and myopic some people can be. Yes the private sector does some good things, but so does government. Those two things are not mutually exclusive yet people get brainwash into thinking so. At a time when there was more governmnt regulation and taxes the US private sector actually did WELL.

Also "Occam's Razor" would point to suicide as the simple explanation rather than some grand conspiracy involving several people performing a murder to look like suicide and also manipulating cameras. "Occam's Razor" is not the same as "anything I think is true must be true" 😂. Furthermore you should expect Ghislaine Maxwell to say anything that is helpful to her. So it is pretty naïve to think she is "telling the truth" in one case but not the other. No, she's simply saying whatever she can to help her situation.

It's like suddenly people forgot that all vaccines do really is simulate an infection so that your body builds an immunity to it.

  7841. LOL... Told ya. The grounds for impeachment are more clear than you realize. This is not 1998... We are not going after an already POPULAR president based on the frivolous charge of lying about getting a blow job. This is a clear case of abuse of power by an unpopular president that most of the country knows is a liar and is corrupt. Not even Republicans can't defend or even explain Trump's actions. Don't be surprised if that number hits 65-70% when the entire impeachment case has been laid out and repeated non-stop by the mainstream media, new media, and then several other bombshells surrounding Trump come out based on all the NUMEROUS other investigations. This gives Congress grounds and more authority to go after things that they were tepid about before. It also means the rats are going to flee the ship... So you're going to have MORE whistlebowers and more Republicans and people who were in Trump's inner circle turn on Trump as they see his political power waning. People don't want to be on a sinking ship and a lot of people are going to want to capitalize on Trump going down. When that snowball starts.... Look out. Nixon's impeachment started out with a 19% approval rating, so even starting out at 45% tells you something...

  7844. It is a fact that Covid is mild in athletes. A study on elite athletes showed that only 2% had moderate symptoms. The rest were mild and asymptomatic. So why should they be forced to take a vaccine that impacts them far less than it does the general public? You say they think they are invincible, but according to the data they mostly are invincible when it comes to Covid. These are people who have spent their entire lives working on their bodies are probably more freaked out than most when their agency for what goes into their body is taken away from them.

  7845. I don't believe in the death penalty because I don't think "revenge" is the same as "justice".

I think those are real concerns that should be looked at seriously, but are solvable as technology evolves. At the same time just ignoring those issues and pretending they don't exist because of the current status quo in renewable energy is also a huge mistake.

  7854. It isn't any more the fault of solar enthusiasts than it is for iPhone owners that China is horrible when it comes to disposing old electronics into rivers, etc.. However if the US gets big into Solar it's really not hard to demand that China does a better job with disposal and recycling.

  7855.  @ironwarmonger  Short term gains overriding long term costs is pretty much a fundamental part of human psychology.... Same in China, they prioritize growth over everything else. It's not like the US didn't do the same thing in our past. China just has far more people so it's much worse. However I would hope that when it comes to things like the Green New Deal, we are taking a holistic approach to green energy and the environment and taking into account the entire life cycle of our power needs..

  7856.  @brian2440  I wasn't implying competition. Assuming that China would remain the main producer of panels as they are today. If the US is going to be a major importer, and I imagine we would be their biggest "customer" if we made this kind of major transition into renewables, we would have a lot of leverage in dictating how they manage their waste and recycling of solar panels which would hopefully have a positive impact on other electronic waste.

Genocide happens when a majority oppresses a minority with force and superior weaponry. (Native Americans, Slavery, Rwanda, Darfur, etc.) It has nothing to do with gun laws. Once again,"your gun" is not going to take on tanks, missiles, and warships. This is nothing more than a fantasy to support an ideology & gun sales.

Blind ideology really makes people stupid and susceptable to propoganda.

  7872. It's sad seeing christianity stuck in rediculous outdated dogma. You would think that after 2000 years they would become more enlightened and not less. Everything I know about the mythical "Christ" character was that he was about gaining new understandings over the old religious dogma. Too bad people took that message and did the exact opposite. Most people just blindly following the orthodoxy created by the Roman Empire and think that it means something.

  7873. No, I'm saying that "libertarian monetary markets" actually incentivize the atrocities I mentioned. If money represents power, success, & social status within a society. How is corruption NOT inevitable when the main motivation is "profit"? Banks have an incentive to swindle you, politicians have an incentive to be bought, and War profiteers have an incentive for war. Do I have an alternative right now? No, but shutting off our brains to new ideas would have left us living under a monarchy.

  7874. And I would take a puppy over being burned alive. It's apples and oranges. Just as I would take Karl Marx over Joseph Stalin or Mao. An economic philosophy is *completely different* than the government or policial leaders who decide to slaughter innocents, wage war or use drone strikes. Just like the neo con agenda of war in the middleast, torture, Git-Mo, Abu Ghuraib, and drone strikes has little to do with Milton Friedman even if those same neo cons agree with his economic philosophy.

  7876. What libertarians don't get is that the monetary system already constrains "freedom" & "liberty". Food bearing plants are unavailable, hunting is limited. Unlike the Native Americans before us all property is owned & you're forced to buy or rent property just for a spot to live. Yet this country "throws away" enough edible food to feed serveral countries. There is no real "freedom" when you're forced into a life of servitude just to survive. Freedom is being lucky enough to be born wealthy.

  7877. @megagagnon1 Sorry, Walker did in fact sign a bill that gave millions in tax breaks less than a month ago. How you look at it budgetarily is a different matter. Bottom line is less money is going into Wisconsin contributes to the 2 year shortfall. Unions already agreed to take a cut, however Walker wants to take away their rights. So basically It's tax cuts for corporations on the backs of Labor, corporations are the only beneficiary of these polcies NOT the Wisconsin poeple.

Otherwise... lets keep it real.... you wouldn't give a shit and that's the truth.

  7879. I really don't see how you can call her a "fake" when she single handily created the Consumer Protection Bureau which as returned Billions of dollars to millions of people at the expense of the corporations who were exploiting them. She's not perfect, but she is far better than most Democratic candidates at the moment. These nonsense litmus tests where if a candidate has some issues or isn't perfect on an issue suddenly means they are fake and horrible is only going to give us another 4 years of Trump.
    1
  7880.  @jackohere1878  --"Warren makes up policy according to polling " Such as? The Consumer Protection Bureau was Warren's brain child from conception to implementation. It was NOT something that was popular at all and she had to literally fight Obama to get it through. --"This doesn't mean she hasn't done some good things" You literally just said she was fake and only creates policy based on polling. --"This "nonsense" as you call it is the ammo trump will brutally use to beat her." I find it amazing how people can be so weak as to believe that 2 criticisms of a Democratic candidate somehow outweighs the THOUSANDS of skeletons in Trump's closet. You've essentially let Trump gaslight you into a submissive position.

  7881.  @jackohere1878  Other than Bernie Sanders there hasn't been a single politician that has spoken out against corruption and Corporate power more so than Warren. Having a disagreement on unilateral disarmament when it comes to campaign finance in the general election, is a completely dumb reason to entirely disregard the ENORMOUS amount of progressive policies that Warren has been putting forth. Not just during this election, but for years. You people are just fickle.
    1
  7882.  @jackohere1878  The only reason Bernie Sanders ran in 2016 is because he couldn't get Warren to run. They have been friends for a long time and share many of same ideas politically, but I guess you think Sanders is just a really stupid guy who has been secretly manipulated by Warren who he knows far better than you.... I choose to focus on reality and actual progressive policies. You can continue to divide the party by making up silly conspiracies based on nothing. Then when we get 4 more years of Trump (or Pence) you can talk about how "pure" you were in 2020 while people continue to die and suffer because of that lunatic in office.

  7883.  @jackohere1878  A couple faults doesn't magically turn someone into Clinton, sorry. If you believe that you have absolutely no clue. Warren didn't endorse anyone until after the nomination. No different than Sander's. I would have loved a progressive VP in the ear of Clinton pushing her on Green New Deal, Medicare For All, etc. Policies are far more important than a meaningless endorsement that would never have closed Clinton's lead. Warren was putting forth progressive policies BEFORE she even announced that she was running. Now people are looking for silly excuses for why she is now leading in the polls. So they make up BS conspiracies, as if there weren't a dozen other democrats who also thought they had the best ideas.

  7884.  @jackohere1878  Warren was fighting corruption and consumer rights at a time when Tulsi was still leading her fathers anti-gay organization and actively fighting against gay rights. She then went on to date a Republican and defended the use of torture. The criticism you pretend to have against Warren are even more so with Tulsi. If I sound bitter, I am, because I'm sick and tired of this fickleness with people. Obama & Clinton's policies were nowhere near as progressive as Warren's. Pretending they are indicates to me that you care more about scandal and emotion than actual progressivism. Unfortunately a lot of Warren's supporters are also in the same category and they support her for nonsense reasons other than her policies.

  7885.  @jackohere1878  Just listen to yourself... She talked to Clinton, wow.... So? As if someone with decades of experience isn't worth talking to. Furthermore people of all economic standings drink beer, lol 😂 These are absurd criticisms that aren't related to policy AT ALL... Like I said... Warren isn't perfect, but on policy she's better than 99% of the people in the Democratic party with an ACTUAL record of fighting for the working class, healthcare, consumer rights, and against corporate excess going back two decades. If you think Obama or Clinton had ANYWHERE CLOSE to that kind of record before running for office then you seriously do not know what you are talking about. Warren literally fought against Obama to establish the CFPB. Wake up and understand who the real enemy is instead of making nonsense false equivalencies.

  7886. How a person lives their life is far different than how they would design a subway system, a highway system, a computer system, a health system, or a government system. Yes I believe science is better than "guessing" when it comes to figure out the best way to find something that works. If that makes me "ideological" in your mind then I think that's pretty sad. Ignoring science, statistics, and simply guessing your way through policy and "believing it works" is an ignorant approach.

  7888. @fenwayfan2434 Here's one thing true about Cenk: He jokes about politicians. There isn't a single politician he hasn't made jokes about, even those he supports. It's clear from many Ron Paul supporters that any jokes or crticisms of him are seen as "attacks" or "slander". It's one thing to support a candidate, but some serious "lightening up" is in order. Not being able to look at a candidate critically or laughingly is putting them in a place they shouldn't be, on a pedestal.

The thing in place that prevents me from stabbing you and taking your property is... say it with me.... GOVERNMENT. No offense, but I don't think you understand WTF you're reading.

  7906.  @WayTruthLife0  And there are also lots of people who treated it like a cold who are dead... People can do things to make themselves healthier (getting the right nutrition, losing weight, etc.), but there is no easy remedy for the average person. Especially the average American that is obese.

  7907.  @loripapapetros4894  Well, a lot of people's homes end up burning down when they call the fire department too. That doesn't mean that calling them when something is on fire is a bad idea. I hate hospitals and doctors, and I generally avoid them at all costs, but if I was struggling to breathe, I would be much better off there then at home. Most of the fight against Covid happens long before an infection, such as being super healthy and/or vaccinated. Once you're infected there's not much that a hospital can do other than give you therapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, and put you on a ventilator if you can't breathe.

  7908.  @cattreeoflife980  I heard Kim imply (ie "make up") several things. However there is absolutely no research showing ivermectin doing anything anywhere, let alone Africa. We know that Covid impacts people less if they are younger, not obese, and have less vitamin d deficiency. All things that apply to people in Africa. Sorry, but there is no magic wand or "one weird trick" to getting around Covid. Either you're healthy or get vaccinated.
    1
  7909.  @chavezchrissy  My guess is "none", because Ivermectin has only ever been shown to have a tiny impact on Covid, and the tiny impact it was shown to have, may be entirely due to the fact that some people had parasites (which is what Ivermectin is for) and clearing the parasites made it easier for them to fight Covid. However, people in this country are less likely to have a large buildup of parasites. So that's why my guess is "none". The fact is we know that hundreds of thousands of people have died in this country because of obesity, lack of vitamin d, and not being vaccinated. There is no magic cure all to fixing Covid that doctors are hiding from you.

  7910. 1. An average of anything, produces a constant value. Which has absolutely nothing to do with collections as a % of GDP. I said it was at 50 year low not to long ago. Which is a fact for 2011 & reported by CBS, NYT, etc. 2. Life is not a mexican stand off... You still fail to understand punishment DOES NOT prevent disasters or crime. Which is why we have police, locks, AND prisons. Nuclear accidents can kill thousands and sicken 100s of thousands yet you pretend it's a freaking game?

  7912. I can believe how many people believe this propoganda.... It's all based on emotion of "feeling good carrying around a big gun" rather than any rational thought what so ever. I hate to break it to you, but you and your gun is not going to take on the US military nor is owning a gun going to somehow magically "stop corruption" in Washington. Geez people, fucking THINK, instead of mindlessly reacting.

  7913.  @schristiansen3151  The police and FBI will take on any citizens if necessary and the military will give them all the equipment they need to do so. Not to mention the National Guard. But thanks for admitting that carrying a gun is all about a feeling for you. I have friends who like their guns too, but they don't try and change facts to suit their preference for gun ownership nor do they deny that gun regulations make sense. It's only the gun nuts that pretend that deny any regulations and pretend that more guns in society makes that society safer when there is zero evidence supporting it. It's literally like saying that more water makes it harder to get wet.

  7914. S Christiansen It must really make you mad to finally understand that you don’t have any real arguments to make so you’re devolving into a diatribe of nonsense. 😂. I’m quite self sufficient. I’m self employed, own a home, and I’m building myself a camping trailer with solar, plumbing, etc. Clearly your arguments aren’t very self sufficient when you need to rely on stereotypes and straw men to pretend you’re making a point.

  7915.  @schristiansen3151  No my goal isn't to feel superior, but that was obviously your goal in your rant making assumptions about what kind of person I was. Most people don't build themselves campers from scratch and figure out the electronics and plumbing. At most people might go to a dealer and buy these things which I could do, but I choose not to. Freedom to mow down a crowd of people with a semi-automatic with an extended clip isn't a real "freedom" sorry. It's sad that this country has one of the highest prison populations per capita, the highest number of police shootings and deaths per capita and yet millions of people like you are fooled into thinking that the type of gun you can buy is what freedom is all about. It's really sad and pathetic.

  7916. There's a reason why police have SWAT teams, because they don't expect glorified security guards and traffic cops to wage war with a pistol when situations are escalated. Expecting an older guy to lay down his life when he's not equipped to deal with the situation is absurd. Expecting to arm teachers so that they can wage war on their students is even more absurd.

  7919.  @redixdoragon  You're only confirming your bias based on wars started 20 years ago from 3 administrations back instead of looking at the current situation at face value. Maybe if you didn't spend your entire life hating imperialism from this country, you wouldn't have a blind spot when it comes to imperialism from other countries. Just because the US has done bad things in the past, doesn't mean that it is always doing bad things by default. Nor does it automatically mean that other countries are doing good things by sending their military into sovereign countries, not respecting their borders, and declaring parts of another country as "independent". I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work towards "peace" if another country started declaring parts of our country as independent.

  7920.  @redixdoragon  Putin just launched missile strikes on Ukraine. Make no mistake the only person "pursuing" anything here was Putin. Ukraine didn't suddenly start working with the west. They've been doing so out of their own free will for decades. Meanwhile people like you are so stuck on "US Bad" that you can't see something obvious unfolding right in front of you. Putin's own spy chief practically admitted that their goal was to take these regions from the start.

Writing on his hand wasn't the cause of the disturbance it was that his friend was in jail! Of coooourse kids are going to talk about it! Instead of using this opportunity to educate kids on the legal system or recommend counseling, they decide to expell him for not washing his hands. Which creates an EVEN BIGGER disturbance. Rediculous

  7922. That's sort of my point. If this were just some guy who went on a joyride and died people wouldn't feel the need to fabricate conspiracies for why it happened. There are any number of drugs (alcohol), medical, or mental disorders that explain that behavior. It would be one thing if a close family member called for an investigation for XYZ reason and the toxicology came back empty. However what is going on right now is hysteria because our culture gravitates to the "conspiracy" narrative....

  7923. @ggadguy Yes as I've been saying all along the REAL problem is corruption. You can have the biggest government (Former Soviet Union, North Korea) or the smallest government (mexico, somalia) and STILL be inneffective and manipulated by special interests. There needs to be a separation between government and money. Campaign financing reform, eliminate corporate lobbying and the revolving door between public/private sector. The Fed needs to be either completely nationalized or split up.

  7924. sigh... Our military, police & fire departments, libraries, parks, veterans health, post office, courts, etc. are all socialist institutions. Wow... clearly you're ignorant to what "Facism" was. You're also clueless to the fact that Hitler HATED "Marxism" and the entire Nazi party were anti-Marxist which is why they destroyed the SPD and KPD Instead of researching this yourself you'd rather mindlessly follow some shit propaganda, no different than the idiots who followed Nazi propaganda.
    1
  7925. Hitler also created a national boycott of all Jewish businesses, banned jews from professional jobs throwing thousands into poverty, then revoked their citizenship. Jews were fleeing Nazi Germany for years. The LAST thing on their minds was being able to go to their "friendly neighborhood Nazi store" to buy some guns. It's just as stupid as thinking "gun laws" had something to do with segragation and oppression of black people in the South... Guns don't solve hatred and xenophobia.
    1
  7926. 1. It's one thing to understand that sometimes people do horrible things. It's an entirely IRRATIONAL thing to assume that ALL or a majority of people who die from guns are those same people. And because of that it's *ok* if they die. It's a similar idea that Nazi propaganda used for Jews and that is disturbing... 2. Sorry I'm not going to prove the opposite of a ridiculous claim. Why don't you prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist? I choose numbers not arguing over "made up shit".

Then you wouldn't have to worry about pesky things like "a constiution" and laws.

  7929. If CNN had done this it would have been a story on Fox News for the next 5 years. Case and point, you're still taking about "Russia Gate" YEARS later, as if people aren't allowed to report and speculate on an investigation. Yet when it's Fox News it's just a normal Tuesday when it comes to stories they actively lie about. Then you have people like Kyle pretending that other networks are somehow just as bad in an effort to act objective, when those networks are nowhere near as unscrupulous as Fox who actively poisons the well on a weekly basis.

  7930.  @DUBPGOON  --" is when you start giving up rights the government is not going to just stop there," Seriously? Wow, you sounded reasonable up until that point. By that definition the government cannot regulate anything, because everything is a slippery slope. We literally had an assault weapons ban 25 years ago and we didn't turn into the Soviet Union. You're simply reinforcing and regurgitating the irrational propaganda that the NRA feeds to gun nuts. So I no longer think you're reasonable, sorry.

  7931.  @DUBPGOON  Obamacare has literally saved, at the very least, tens of thousands of lives since the ACA was enacted. So yeah, you're not a rational actor... You're not making a point, you're simply putting your emotions on display. One bad bill, doesn't somehow make every bill passed ineffective, just like one bad meal, doesn't make eating a bad idea. So if those are the kinds of arguments you're going to make, you're not going to be very convincing, except to those who are already conspiracy minded.
    1
  7932.  @DUBPGOON  Of course I knew that. Never said that Obamacare was perfect or had no trade offs, but that's what you do when you legislate, you make trade offs. Umm... The "government" is not a living, thinking, being, so I have no idea what you mean by characterizing a concept as "sneaky". Do you see how someone might find you irrational? 🤔 --"If you ban anything it only strengthens the black market and criminals" Again with the nonsense generalizations. 🙄 Apparently you just want to look at the world in overly simplistic "black and white" notions. Do you have evidence that the assault weapons ban in the 90's strengthened the black market and criminals? Does banning anthrax, hand grenades, and nuclear weapons strengthen the black market? --" There just as many illegal guns as legal ones" So? You do realize that so called "illegal guns" are still legally manufactured and legally sold right? --"You must be from the suburbs." Wrong again. It's the people who come from the suburbs into the city are the ones looking to arm themselves to protect themselves from "scary black people". A friend of mine's boyfriend did that and she nearly shot her old roommate who was just coming to get his stuff.

That comes from a private insurance company. 😂 Try living in a country with no public schools, roads, infrastructure, stable currency, police, courts, clean air, water, etc. and see how far your supposed "hard work" gets you.

  7934.  @joshcolby2178  Which isn't the same as "taking all guns", nor is it even the same position as any of the other candidates, let alone everyone in the Democratic party, nor has "taking all guns" ever been proposed as legislation... Which you would think would have happened when the Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and White House. Again, you guys have problems with "evidence" and "logic". All you requires is "some dude saying stuff" and your feelings.

All to often the left makes an argument about right wingers creating variants, but those variants are far more likely to come outside the US in the many countries that don't have access to the vaccines at all.

Covid was "over" in April of 2020?), or Santos, or Boebert or Marjorie with her space lasers and the entire party's denials of an election, trying to overthrow the government, and calling for violence. I'm sick and tired of this "both sides" nonsense when one side has been literally making up threats to the country, lying to their voters, and demonizing minority groups for power. Yes the Democrats are not great and also corrupt, but at least they are not outright traitors.

  7939.  @noneyabizz8337  Please show me an example where simply "coitizing the Dems" got someone "outright banned". If you cannot provide a concrete example of this, you're simply lying. Sick and tired of people making up how they are victims.

  7940.  @noneyabizz8337  Again, specific example of someone getting banned for simply "criticizing the Dems". Simply saying "Twitter stuff" is not a valid response. If you are fact oriented then prove it, don't just pretend that you are.

  7941.  @noneyabizz8337  My examples are in the very video you're commenting on. You responded to my comment by making things up so that you could play the victim. The most recent journalists that were banned from Twitter were banned for simply for being critical of Elon Musk for example: Ryan Mac of The New York Times Drew Harwell of The Washington Post Aaron Rupar, an independent journalist Donie O’Sullivan of CNN Matt Binder of Mashable Tony Webster, an independent journalist Micah Lee of The Intercept Keith Olbermann. Most are considered "left wing" journalists who are critical of the GOP. If this is the "recent news" you're talking about you couldn't be more wrong.

  7944.  @m3kid  If murderer liked ice-cream would that be the motivation for murdering people? Of course not. What motivated the shooter in Dayton to murder his sister and everyone around his sister, had absolutely nothing to do with Antifa. You don't care about why mass shootings happen, all you care about is covering for your damn team... You're a joke. We actually have the motivations for the El Paso shooter, the Synagogue shooters, the Trump supporter mailing bombs, as well as the dozens of killings and hate crimes logged by the FBI. Not to mention the many attempted mass shooters stopped by the FBI. Serious people don't pretend that someone liking chocolate cake was a reason for going on a murder spree simply because it is politically convenient for them to lie about it.

  7945.  @jewulo  Never said that the wealthy were immune to hurt or psychological issues. Clearly will Smith has psychological issues and needs help. However, every joke involving a black woman doesn't make it a social justice cause. Which is exactly what this video was implying. Using that logic anyone could take any joke made by any person and turn it into a social justice commentary. Suddenly making fun of Trump's hair is the same as making fun of his obesity and obese people suffer all sorts of discrimination.

What you don't GET is that you can spend your whole life bitching and wining over someone having 500 million, billion, or trillian and manipulating the world Instead of realizing that the REAL problem is allowing 500 trillion to have power in our society in the first place.

The establishment has a way of coming down on progressives like a ton of bricks. Just like we learned in 2016 and in 2020.... The only way around it is being able to build bigger coalition.

  7951. Really Briahna? 😂Sure, because the green party has accomplished SO much in the past 30 years, right? The Democrats may not have enough votes, but the Green Party literally has non-existent votes. How many decades do you want to sit around accomplishing nothing while giving the Republicans super majorities to roll back our rights even further? Because I can guarantee that a national abortion ban is coming next once Republicans take total power, but you're willing to let that happen because you're mad at some of the corrupt Democrats. The bottom line is we do not have ranked choice voting in this country instead we have a "winner take all system" which eventually leads to two major parties. We also don't have proportional representation and other mechanisms that were created in later democracies. The only choice is to take over one of the existing parties which has been done many times in the past. Even Ralph Nader admitted that Bernie Sanders was right when he ran for president in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile Ralp Nader was just blamed for giving us Gorge Bush for 8 years because he ran as a Green Party candidate in 2000 and took some votes away from Gore. The progressive coalition has been building in the Democratic party and has started to weld real power. it is undeniable that Bernie Sanders started a movement in 2016 that has been slowly building in the Democratic party over the past 6 years. Yes, there are setbacks like Nina Turner, but you would have to be incredibly naive to not know that Nina Turner would have lost just as badly, if not worse, running in the Green Party. It's not like the Democratic/Republican establishment, and the money behind them, simply ignores you because your party affiliation has changed.

All single parents are not abusive just like all minorities & poor people are not criminals. *Correlation* does not mean *causality*. Which is the fundemental problem here.

Even if you don't get impeachment you can use the crimes of a sitting president can be held over EVERY republican whose getting elected and supporting the criminal in the white house..

  7979. I'm not a fan of Kamala Harris, but seriously this nitpicking from the left really pisses me off sometimes. 1. So every time she talks about her current position on legalizing marijuana she HAS to bring up a video where she once suggested (wasn't exactly clear) that she was against it? 2. How does saying she smoked when listening to snoop and tupac mean that she was smoking for a long time? Smoking while listening to music once doesn't mean you've been smoking every day since then.

Am I the only one who sees the HUGE IRONY when the first reaction of a crowd of "libertarians" (who are first and foremost about freewill, liberty, and small government) is to call the government police on a woman who is only trying to exercise her right to free speech? LOL.. funny how all those "libertarian" principles are thrown right out the window when it comes to something they don't like.

  7981. Again, your "personal opinion" is not the same as fact. We have studies that show most of our economic advantage/disadvantage comes from the family we were born into. Our opportunities for development/advancement come from this, which can be traced back hundreds of years. Sure there are exceptions, but by and large the US has very little social mobility compared to other countries. Psychology, sociology, & economics all show strong relationships between environment and personal development.

We regulate speech when it comes to airwaves, threats. etc. Anyone with a braincell knows the founders didn't want to prohibit *people* from expressing their ideas.

  7990. Musk is a total BS artist. However: 1. Even if you get 50% less energy during the winter months. It's still worthwhile to get that energy... I don't understand how solar panels getting less energy during the winter, makes them not worthwhile. That doesn't make sense. 2. Heaters on roof solar panels makes a lot more sense than on roads. Assuming you have the batteries that can store up enough energy to do a heat cycle you just need enough energy to melt the snow/ice enough for it to slide off. Heating the ground enough for all the snow and ice to turn into water requires a lot more energy. 3. To me solar energy is a far better trade off than the small boost in insulation you might get from snow. If your house is properly insulated to begin with then you're not getting much if any benefit from a snow covered roof.

However it's mostly based on the *value* of that business after a time, which is primarily based on an increase or decrease in overall *sales*. If sales are higher after I invested then my ROE is greater. The fact that taxes are high or low doesn't impact the valuation of the business. Once again.... 2/3 of ALL corporations pay ZERO Taxes.

  7995. Not sure where my comment went.. But to summarize: After the declaration of independence there was still slavery, blacks could not own property, women could not vote. Many things were commonplace that we would consider immoral/heinous today. The founders created a GOVERNMENT based on a representative democracy that can change law as our culture changes and give and take away rights where appropriate. It did for blacks, women, and eventually those rights will apply to gays as well.

Other cases they want MORE laws when it comes to reguating banks. In every case it's based on the SITUATION not blind ideology.

  7999. Not initially, but as you reduce the amount of legal guns in circulation you also reduce the number available on the black market. It's not like criminals are manufacturing guns themselves they get them from legal sources and sell them on the black market. It's okay to say "I'm willing to have innocent people get shot so that we can freely have guns", but I get really sick of these bullshit self justification arguments that gun enthusiasts make in order to support their hobby. The last few school shootings and the Las Vegas shooting were all done by guns purchased legally. Not by criminals.

  8002.  @jackdaniel5229  Healthcare Insurance is an industry. Postal Services is an industry. Infrastructure like the management of roads and bridges are industries. Military is an industry. Firefighting is an industry until this country decided to socialize it in every state. Any service that can be performed for people is an industry depending on the side of the coin you put it. The fact that Venezuela socialized some of their resources also doesn't mean that the entire country is socialized. EVERY country is a mixed economy so it is rather dumb and silly to single out one failed idea as "socialism" when we literally rely on hundreds of other socialized ideas every single day. Tell me how less "socialized" is our currency and banking system? Or our Post Office?

Lastly the government built infrastructure like crazy. The question is how to invest & grow the economy, "borrowing forever" is an ignorant oversimplification

  8015.  @recurrenTopology  Geez people. THIS IS NOT IRAQ and has absolutely nothing to do with Iraq. The US public was lied into the Iraq war by the neocons in the government and a couple years into the war the people turned against it. Despite the lack of support the neocons spent nearly a decade refusing to pull out while also threatening war with Iran. "Comfort" with supporting war has absolutely nothing to do with the "parameters" that Sam wants to discuss here. People were not "comfortable" with the wars in Vietnam and Iraq beyond the initial lies and propaganda that got us into those conflicts to being with. That is fundamentally NOT the case with Ukraine and talking about specific negotiation positions on a YouTube show (that no one qualified to analyze) is not going to magically solve the situation.
    1
  8016.  @recurrenTopology  Openly discussing strategic objectives in the middle of a war is entirely counterproductive, especially when the situation changes daily. Telling the world "we'll let Russia have Crimea or Donbas" does not help Ukraine or the situation in any way at all. It only helps Putin. Nor is 99% of the US public even qualified to discuss specific objectives. We are not talking about healthcare, gun regulation, or education. We're talking about military tactics, another county's sovereignty, and cultural and historical nuances that US citizens have absolutely no clue about. Pushing an "open discussion" on objectives that no one is qualified to actually discuss and letting Putin know how far we'll go just because it feels nice sounds completely absurd to me.
    1
  8017.  @recurrenTopology  As far as #1, saying pre-2014 boarders is not vague at all. It's like telling two sports team to negotiate the final score while the game is going on. There's no point to it. As far as #2, this is what we have been doing already. There's no point in making it official US policy just so Putin can turn it into more propaganda. Obviously if there is a negotiated peace as in #2, we wouldn't be pouring money into a war anymore. There have been numerous peace talks already and we can only listen to the Ukrainians for what is "enough" or "not enough" to fight the war. Again, we are not qualified to debate military strategies or weaponry. That is for Zelenskyy to figure out and thus far they have been doing a pretty good job.
    1
  8018.  @recurrenTopology  Also the politics aren't complicated. We support Ukraine without direct war with Russia until the American people, the Ukrainians, or the Russians lose the will to continue. We get a stalemate and then borders are drawn based on the situation on the ground. Sanctions mean nothing to a guy who wants to control Ukraine's fossil fuel. Ultimately it is up to the Ukrainians and the Russians to figure out were they stand when they get sick of killing each other. We aren't going to be able to figure that out for them.
    1
  8019.  @recurrenTopology  I have no optimism for war, lots of people die until they get sick of it. The US doesn't require anymore control over Ukraine than it already has. Again, this isn't a Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan where the population is hostile to US or western influence. I think the idea that the US can wave a magic wand of influence to goad Ukraine and Russia into peace is the more optimistic position. The only influence the US really has is to stop supporting Ukraine and let Russia take what it wants and kill Zelenskyy. Again, I don't know what "discussion" you're looking for that doesn't involve details that people are not qualified to discuss or positions that the US shouldn't disclose. The only political decision is to support Ukraine or not. The details of which should be left up to our elected representatives, the pentagon, State Dept, and others with security clearance who are briefed daily to actually understand the situation.
    1
  8020.  @recurrenTopology  There isn't anything to "trust" here with the US military industrial complex. Regardless of whether Ukraine is a war or not, they get to send weapons to Ukraine and US interests are intact. This is different than other places that are antagonistic to the US where direct conflict with the US is feeding the machine. The only "assurance" we should be concerned about is direct conflict with Russia. We've always lived in a representative democracy not a direct democracy. So it has nothing to do with being "undemocratic" as is defined by the country we're living in as opposed to something fictional. Elected leaders have always taken broad directives from the people and implemented details. That's how our system works. Just because we don't discuss soybean regulations doesn't make soybean regulations "undemocratic". If every citizen was involved in every decision the government wouldn't function. Elected leaders direct the military and we elect those leaders. TMR talking about it on YouTube doesn't magically change how that works.
    1
  8021.  @recurrenTopology  Classic straw man. At no point did I ever say we should never question elected leaders. What I did say is that it is completely unproductive to openly discuss objectives, negotiating positions, and borders based on another country's war that people are completely unqualified to talk about. It serves no purpose other than letting Putin know how far the US is willing to go and what we are willing to give up.
    1
  8022.  @recurrenTopology  The mechanism we have to hold leaders accountable is voting, checks & balances with other branches, and in rare cases impeachment. Not sure what mechanism you're talking about, because I'm pretty sure discussing military strategies and weapons supplies on YouTube isn't one of those things. The problem is you're not even articulating a goal beyond what we already know which is to support Ukraine without getting into a direct conflict with Russia. That has been the goal for months now (decades arguably). Instead we get this vague idea from TMR that they want to know specific objectives, regions, timelines, etc. Information that we couldn't possible have because it isn't our country nor is it our war. And yes, it is obviously extremely beneficial for Putin to have foreknowledge on how far the US is willing to go. Do you really not understand why people/teams/companies/countries are secretive about their strategies and positions?
    1
  8023.  @recurrenTopology  Again, I don't see how you have a discussion about "how a war ends" without giving away a specific position. Just like you can't discuss how a football game or chess match ends without going into a specific tactic. You're wanting something less "abstract" than the goals we already have and yet you're still not entirely articulating what that means. I think the letter was meaningless and the backlash to the letter was even more meaningless, but generally congressmen having those discussions is how it's supposed to work. Theoretically people are getting in rooms and having those discussions and those with more security clearance are having deeper discussions. However sending a vague letter for political posturing seemed kind of pointless to me, but the backlash to it was even worse. Overall it could have been handled way better by both sides. It seemed like someone got pissed off for some reason behind the scenes. Probably over some ego or procedural crap.
    1
  8024.  @recurrenTopology  I don't doubt there are elements in the government that wouldn't want to bleed Russia as much as possible and there are certainly elements that profit off of conflict. But I also think it is silly to believe that the US can somehow perfectly balance the amount of support given to Ukraine to get the "perfect amount of conflict". We don't have magic control over this conflict. No one does. We have no idea how much support Russia is getting from other countries. We have also been constantly surprised by how effective Ukraine has been. Zelenskyy has been gathering support he needs to take back areas that Russia took over and that support is not coming from just the US. We can't even figure out how to control the conflicts that we start (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) What makes you think that we have complete mastery over someone else's conflict? We need to get out of this mindset that the US controls everything in the world. Despite special interests at the Pentagon, it isn't beneficial for this war to continue. The entire world is paying for it (inflation, gas prices, heating costs, food, etc.)

  8025.  @recurrenTopology  Just because someone is an expert doesn't mean they can't be wrong. Doctors, immunologists, and various scientists are wrong all the time. It doesn't mean they suddenly don't know what they are talking about. Yet we have a different standard for US intelligence. Even though they were 100% correct on Putin invading Ukraine we just focus on the few things they got wrong over the past 20 years. You still need to be specific... Just saying "we should talk about stuff" is vague. Literally no one is stopping you from discussing anything you want. However it is unreasonable for the entire country to weigh in on every weapon, strategic goal, and region in Ukraine or make the US publicly declare limits and timelines on support and aid. We aren't pursuing any war here. Russia invaded Ukraine and Ukraine is stopping them. I don't know why this has to be clarified. Again... This is NOT Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam or any recent war you can think of that the US purposely started and then proceeded to occupy a country.

  8026. Not really... Both France & Britain had large colonies in North America and certainly those colonies were greatly influenced and helped by the Native American population. Native American influences are all over this country. Also without the help of France, Spain, & the Dutch we wouldn't even be an independent country. Certainly most of this country's great innovations didn't come from English immigrants (flight, rockets, Apple computers, etc.). So I completely disagree with that assertion.

Then she pulled her gun on a guy who was walking to his car in a parking lot. But since she felt nervous that was a good enough excuse to threaten lethal force. These people are also the reason why cops are so trigger happy. They think everyone has a gun so they don't take chances..

  8034.  @kittycatwithinternetaccess2356  LOL Reagan lined the pockets of the wealthy and military contractors while tripling the national debt. Then he sold US arms to Iran in order to fund right wing terrorist groups in Nicaragua.... In other words Reagan was absolutely in favor of socialism for the rich and right wing extremism while the US middle class and US wages took a nosedive. His economics were so messed up that people in his own party called it "voodoo economics". You must be the last person on earth to actually believe that "trickle down economics" is actually a good thing.

  8035.  @kittycatwithinternetaccess2356  1. The Iran Hostage crises happened before Reagan was sworn into office.

The Iran Contra Affair happened a year AFTER the hostage crises and Reagan spent the next 5 years secretly funneling weapons to Iran in order to fund terrorism in Nicaragua. 3. With the help of Reagan the Contras made Nicaragua a dangerous place. After Reagan left office and the Contras fell, the country became a really nice place. 4. Ever Republican president since Reagan has implemented "trickle down economics".

  8036.  @kittycatwithinternetaccess2356  WRONG. It was under a right wing puppet dictatorship controlled by US corporate interests until the Nicaraguan Revolution in 1979.

I've been to Nicaragua, the place is beautiful and the people are some of the nicest I've come across. BTW in case you didn't realize it the US is also corrupt af. So who are you pointing fingers at?... Nicaragua would have gotten to a peace a lot quicker if it wasn't for Reagan and the US propping up dictators for our own corrupt interests.

Then maybe it has more to do with power and imperialism rather than the nonsense "isms" you've been programmed with? 🤔 Maybe instead of blindly cheerleading or demonizing vague concepts, you should actually think about what your country has done in the world and the impact of specific policies. The entire reason you were brainwashed to be afraid of "socialism" is because this country engaged in a Cold War with another super power for decades. Same reason why Russians are brainwashed to be afraid of "the west". We're nothing more than puppets for global leaders/elites to manipulate for power and influence. It's about time you woke up to that fact instead of pretending as if a complicated world can be summed up with dumb simplistic labels you were told meant "good" or "bad".

  8045.  @almitrahopkins1873  I think we're coming to the same place, just coming to it from different angles. My original point was just to say that these people all have a right to the land and distinguishing them makes no sense. However I can't imagine that buying land from other countries and giving it to the Palestinians is something that would ever work logistically. I doubt these countries would be okay with relinquishing their land., though I could be wrong. It would certainly require a LOT of negotiating. The settlements are so pervasive and property is in such dispute that I don't think a separate state is even possible at this point. Equal aid would be nice, but I can't imagine any scenario where the US would agree to that since it's so wrapped up in the Military Industrial Complex. The US isn't just giving money to be nice. However the idea of Jerusalem being an independent entity similar to the Vatican, but lead by a council or Senate of representatives of the 3 religions is a good idea. It would easily be sustained by the revenue from tourism alone, especially if there is peace in the region. Although it would be incredibly messy to implement such a thing.

  8046.  @almitrahopkins1873  Of course Israel would raise a stink especially since there are lots of settlements in those regions (which of course was the point of the settlements to begin with). I just don't think a two state solution is viable because of the amount of people you would need to forcibly displace. You could always make people dual citizens of the new state, but I really doubt that most Israelis would go for the idea of suddenly living in Palestine or vice versa. I think the only thing you can do at this point is force proper democracy and proper representation in the one state of Israel and end the racist policies that favor Jewish citizens and Zionism. Maybe at most create a few Palestinian provinces inside the state. Because let's be real... Even if you created a Palestinian state, there's no way it would get the same support as Israel does. It would basically be a third world country at the mercy of Israel and all the countries surrounding it. I also doubt that the fighting would stop because even if it's a separate state it's not like Israel would be opposed to bombing them. They've got no problems bombing Iran. As long as they have backing from the US and nukes, they can still oppress a Palestinian state and take territory (for "security reasons") if they wanted to.

  8047. Imagine if it were a black man who killed a white woman on the train for simply screaming... Fox News did in fact lose their minds when a middle-eastern cop shot a white woman who called 911 several years ago, even though that cop was arrested and convicted. It's funny how they don't apply the same outrage or concern when it's minorities who die needlessly in these situations.

  8048.  @MadafakinRio  So the change is okay because you only watch the channels you're subscribe to? So just screw everyone who is looking for new content or looking at videos that aren't in their subscriber list? Screw everyone who looks at content in their recommends and doesn't know whether that content is actually good or some faked crap? Right after the change I looked for a trailer that was just released and instead of the actual trailer I came across fake ones that I would have known were fake based on the dislike ratio.

  8049. @moosicninja09 It only takes a few minutes of research... The "Femur" shown in that picture is a fake (a replica). Secondly if the original ever did exist it's probably the femur of another animal such as an elephant or a giraffe. Many animals have "femurs" you know. I have no idea where the stupid idea that T Rex teeth were somehow made of chlorophyll. From teeth marks and bones of animals found in their gut they ATE ANIMALS. Creationism is *fake* science for dummies. Educate yourself.

  8050. @wilbert1755 Because we know the sea is rising, it has been measured constaintly using a variety of tools for a very long time. On the other hand I don't see any indication of Kiribati being in a subduction zone and therefore "sinking". That would be the very definition of an "erroneus claim".

  8053. Trump may be an idiot, but keep in mind WHO APPOINTED THOSE NEOCONS IN THE FIRST PLACE... It's not like Trump was completely unaware that these people were aggressive towards other countries. It's not some coincidence that he's filling his cabinet with people who advocate WAR & TORTURE. This is the same person who said he wanted to "take out their families". This is the same guy who had no problems with the MOAB in Afghanistan. This is the same guy who dramatically increased the drone strikes and lowered the threshold for civilian casualties. This is the same guy taunting Kim Jong Un unto a war over twitter. If this was Hillary Clinton you would be all over her talking about how she's a war monger and the next Hitler. Why would you treat this piece of shit with kid gloves then? When are you going to realize that Trump isn't just a useful idiot for Neocons. TRUMP IS A NEOCON..... Wake the fuck up already.

  8054. @bluefootedpig Here's the point you're missing.... Our entire system is based on credit and debt, let me repeat: Our ENTIRE monetary system is based on credit and DEBT. Every dollar issued in this country is created out of debt. It's not only individuals, but industrialized and third world countries all over the globe have been screwed over because of this concept. So to say "don't buy shit you can't afford" is simply glossing over a fundemental "side effect" that's inherent in the system.

  8055. @luckyStrike89ru We were talking about the Congo were we not? Sure it gets some military assistance, but a tiny fraction compared to Israel that has only 10% of the population. Funny how many conservatives rail against government intervention yet at the same time blindly support it when it comes to Israel. A country that was created through government intervention. At the same time we block UN efforts by the palestinians to create their own state a position WE supposedly advocate.

I don't have a problem with a national language, at the same time I don't have a problem with going to a "China Town", "Korea Town", "Italian District" etc. and feeling like I'm visiting another country. If I have trouble reading a sign or menu then so be it. Diversity should be our strength.

You of all people should know there is a difference between conservatives that believe in the "Bush Doctrine" and those who do not. You can also find a Nazi Party... There are no "communist" politicians in office period. It's a ludicrous scare tactic i.e. "McCarthyism" Actually today the new McCarthyism is to call everyone a "socialist". Which is just as absurd.

  8066. Again.... Giving "some people money" is not a UBI.... Everyone has always known that "giving some people money" will help that group of people. We've known that in this country for 85 years with social security... What is unknown is what will happen if suddenly the baseline for the entire economy is $1000 a month. I can almost guarantee that in places where real-estate is at a premium landlords will immediately raise the rent by $1000.... I'm not comfortable letting the market insure that everyone is housed, clothed, and fed because it's NEVER been good at that. I would rather move towards a society where there is LESS capitalism. Handing people money just to prop up a broken and corrupt system, seems rather insane to me. It's almost like starting fires just to keep firemen employed...

  8068. TBH most of the independents are probably responding to "marketing". It's not like people supported Trump because he did anything substantive and I can't think of any recent president that actually did effect people's lives other than maybe Obamacare which got nothing but bad press from the right wing during Obama's presidency. The "blacklash" against Obama only further helped Trump in his election.

  8070.  @practicaliching2311  You're quoting an opinion piece written by someone from the Heartland Institute...

In other words you decided to blindly parrot talking points from the oligarchy manipulating our government. Congratulations on that. Again:. 1. Please tell me how these tax cuts, that mostly went to the wealthy, effected wages? 2. How is Biden's immigration policy is different than Trump's? 3. Which specific regulation, that supposedly Trump got rid of, effected wages?

  8071. Sounds like people continuously looking for evidence of an afterlife to feel comfortable with their existence. Just like any other religion....

  8072. Charging a higher rate for companies that do more business with you is entirely counterintuitive to how markets work. With economies of scale, companies that do more business get discounts. There's no reason to charge companies that do more business with you more money unless you're deliberately try to price gouge. Apple isn't investing 100 million in an App Store because they have to, they're doing it because it makes them A LOT OF MONEY.

  8073. @elfornse No your "logic" is to emotionally exaggerate something you don't like.... For example any enforced rule can be categorized as "aggression" such as being pulled over by a police officer when speeding , banning guns on a airplane, or running a restaurant and following health standards, or any tax (property, sales, tobacco, etc.) Any rule that you don't want to follow can be labeled as "aggression against you". When you make silly emotional arguments you can apply them to anything.

  8074. The "revenge" culture in this country really sickens me.... Really Ana 3 years in jail is "just right"? Tell me, is this kid likely to be "better person" or a "worse person" after spending 3 years in prison? Will his issues be resolved or get worse? Jail isn't the answer for a person with psychological issues. I can almost guarantee you that Chris Brown's court mandated "counseling" is far more effective than making a guy spend 3 years in prison because it makes YOU feel better.

  8075. @droidclone Sorry, but "banning spending" is nothing more than a simplistic campaign propoganda. Social Sercurity is just one example of lowering taxes for the wealthy while cutting Middle Class programs. This has nothing to do with government, it has to do with the people controlling policitians. So yeah, just fixate on your paycheck while you lose your democracry, wars continue, and your water, air, and food is poisoned. Then one day you'll wake up with cancer and no job and wonder why.

I'm sorry but if you get so drunk that you can't tell what happened until the next morning then... YOU HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM.

  8079. @MAZDAKPRODUCTION Which is why I brought up Ron Paul's "defense cuts" that are nowhere near as draconian as his other cuts. It makes me wonder (worried) how much Ron Paul is catering to the hawks in his party who constantly criticise his stance on defense. I'd like to be a nation of science, technology, space exploration, and inspiration, instead of war mongering coprorate whores... The thousands of patents out of NASA resulted many advancements and products we enjoy today.

  8080. @grazzly1 If you want to start wars, then yes violence is quite effective. Heard of the Weather Underground? Black Panthers?

Talk tough all you want, because I'm sure you think you're some bad ass who's able to take on the US military with his pistol... However history and facts are on my side.

It's a shame how long it takes for conservatives to figure out when something is "not good" And when they finally do it's funny how they pretend it is something they just figured out and no one else knows about it.

  8084. That's because most pundits and reporters on TV have an incentive to play up the "horse race" bulshit.... They did this through the republican primary when Romney was the obvious pick and they're doing it now.... It's all one big TV circle jerk so that more people will "tune in". It is purely for RATINGS. If Obama is up they will play up poor debate performance to even things out. If Romney is up they will play up a "gaff". They'll NEVER admit to anything other than a close race.

And YES GW did start this "war" so to ignore his part in this is just stupid.

  8088. True morality is SUSTAINABILITY... Looking at how much it takes to grow a cow and thinking the only answer is going vegan is pretty dumb. There are some animals (like rabbits & goats) that are far more sustainable than many vegetable crops. Furthermore most plants don't get fertilized from magic they rely on animals because that's how these things evolved. Today most of our industrialized crops rely on petrochemicals (fossil fuel) based fertilizers and insecticides because these huge profitable yet unsustainable mono-crops that we created can only survive that way. What happens when we run out of oil? The reality is we grow our vegetables in the same horrible and unsustainable ways that we grow our animals. It's just that the effects are less. The true answer is permaculture and creating ecosystems where many varieties of plants and animals can flourish and support each other, as well as changing the types of foods that we eat to include rabbits, goats, and possibly even insects, many of the things we evolved hunting quite frankly, instead of just steaks, cheese, burgers, wheat, & corn. If your morality centers around "not killing creatures similar to me" then you're basically being an arrogant asshole who thinks that the rest of the animal kingdom is (by your own definition) immoral... Life consumes life, that is the law of this planet. Eventually you're going to figure out that plants also express themselves in ways that are very similar to animals. You're also going to figure out that bacteria are capable of "learning" and doing things that we didn't think were possible. Then what? You're going to survive on sunlight and water then? Maybe we should just acknowledge that we're all just animals and that even though we've evolved to build tribes and communities with other humans to survive, that it is ridiculous to apply the same survival mechanism to every animal, plant, and bacteria on this planet. It is arrogant, dangerous, and counter productive to do so. Instead we should respect all life in the same way Native Americans respected all life who understood balance with the land that when you take something you should also give back. The reality is we want to treat the earth like our bitch while we go to church and be nice to cute fuzzy animals so that we can feel good about ourselves. You can't complain about treating animals like machines and then turn around and treat plants like machines and pretend that it's "better". It's not better, it's the same bullshit. We can't keep doing the same shit indefinitely with unfettered growth of the human population

Furthermore understand how a "non-profit" works. It means that the Clintons don't somehow get a paycheck from donations to their charity. Unlike Trump's businesses. You have ZERO evidence that Saudis giving money to a non-profit influenced Clinton in anyway. Meanwhile we know that the GOP platform was changed to be Pro Russia by Trump's campaign, they hired Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, and he's refused to enforce the sanctions which had a bipartisan vote in the senate of 98 to 2....

  8101. @ggadguy You can talk about abstract concepts like "freedom" as much as you want, but the bottom line was the US was rich in resources, isolated from WW 1 & 2, and recieved a lot of smart scientists and other immigrants fleeing the aftermath of war. Sure the capitalistic system had something to do with it because a lot of companies and banks made a TON of money from those wars, but to say it only had to do with "freedom" and income tax is just historical propoganda.

  8103.  @bocelott  That's precisely my point... The media (and politicians) decided to start using the term, and then a little while later based on polls suddenly decided everyone was dumb for using the term. Whether the term is valid is not based on polls or popularity. It's based on whether people actually use it or not, and the fact is people actually do use it when they don't want to be forced into male or female versions of a word. However instead of actually being nuanced about it, TYT decides to declare something invalid based on a poll one day.

  8104.  @meowateyourchips7417  Who said anything about forcing people to use a term? Understand the framing you've been programmed with.... TYT is the one who declared a term invalid because of a poll. I'm simply saying that some people had reasons to use it. Even if only 5% identify with a term that is still millions of people using a term... You cannot treat an entire ethnic group as a monolith just like you cannot treat every US citizen as a monolith.

Republicans need to realize that there is more to life than making money for the top 5%. If we don't get back to building a middle class and building an INDUSTRY we won't have much of a country left.

  8109. I agree with them both. On one hand I agree with Daniel that knowledge and desire is more important than a degree. On the other hand I agree with Thom... In a democracy education should be freely available. It doesn't matter how you get that information (library, museum, college, internet, etc). Education should be like water, when you're thirsty you drink. The flaw with private colleges is that they conflat a person's desire for success (and their own profit) with a desire for knowledge.

Figuring out "who to punish" In the wake of a nuclear disaster killing thousands & leaving hundreds of thousands sick or dying of cancer, is utterly meaningless & too late. It means *nothing* to people suffering the rest of thier lives & children born with abnomalities.

  8121.  @harlonband380  The Floyd case was murder, idiot. Murder that happens to a lot of unarmed black men at the hands of police.

However instead of doing something about it you would rather cry and whine about people pointing out obvious disparities in policing.

  8122.  @harlonband380  Ummm... What? Who said this case wasn't murder? It's an obviously a homicide and I'm pretty sure any prosecutor would argue that he knew he could kill a person by driving over them... So there's obvious "intent". I don't think this guy will ever see the light of day after this. Did you think we thought he was innocent because he was black or something? 🤔 People murder people all the time. How could anyone possibly think that no one besides police commit murder? I really don't get how you guys think. However when we pay police to keep us safe, it's pretty horrible for them to kill people unjustly. It's like a life guard drowning people or a firefighter setting houses on fire.

  8123. 1. It is a voluntary country. You can leave or participate in politics. You're presenting nonsense hypotheticals: When was the last time a police officer shoved a gun in your face to pay taxes? Are you saying a roommates have never sued each other or called the cops to settle a dispute? 2. Money represents power and life in this society. It obviously controls and motivates you. Various spiritual teachings didn't lecture on money for thousands of years because of it's benign nature.

  8125. I still don't know why prior infection or natural immunity is excluded from the conversation... It's been shown in multiple studies for a long time now that people who have recovered from Covid have better immunity to the variants than just the vaccine alone. Do people not realize that all vaccination does is simulate an infection?

  8126. It is pretty idiotic to think that out system of democracy was created so that people can settle differences by shooting each other. If you think that the founders of this country thought: "if things don't work out, grab your gun and shoot people" means you don't understand how much reverence they had for the system they created.

  8127.  @MrEkzotic  He is not correct. The only reason why the 2nd amendment was created was to placate the large slave owning states so they could be assured that their slave patrols could remain intact. Which is why it specifically talks about a "free state" and a "well regulated militia". In no way were the founders of this country advocating for people to shoot government officials in order to resolve differences. That is nothing more than propaganda

  8128. I'm no fan of Jimmy Dore, but it's really no surprise that someone having a conversation with you would bring up certain topics that MR is engaged with Jimmy Dore on. Also, the constant covid culture war everywhere, is absolutely insufferable.

  8129. I've always said we should not be supporting a system where one man makes 100 or 1000x another man. Reward productivity yes. However beyond that is either supporting a "gambling based society" or an "oligarchy". These things creates an inequality and sickness in society, instead of living like a family, which is our naturual state, we become prisoners to the "caste" we happen to find ourselves in.

  8130. 03:30 Right on Ana.... The criminal justice system should be used for rehabilitation not revenge.... The stupid (Cenk) policy of giving people "what they desirve" REGARDLESS of outcomes (to society and the individual). Is just an primative and barbaric. I hope one of these days we wake up and realize we have this thing called "science" that is far more reliable than pitch forks, torches, and a noose flung around a tree branch...

  8131. The Supreme Court and the GOP trying to overturn Roe and restrict the rights of women is horrible and I will gladly march alongside women until this extremism becomes another historical footnote, but please stop making comparisons to Jim Crow and other unrelated atrocities.

  8133. I agree with Ben.. Anyone who as every apologized knows that it is HARD. To sit back and nit pick every word and phrase as "not sincere enough" does not help anybody. Anderson Cooper got to the heart of the matter on whether this was his *current* attitude towards gays and that is the real issue. Does that mean his attitude towards gays has completely changed? Of course not, but at least it's a step in the right direction and we should be encouraging that step not criticizing it.

  8145. I have a serious problem with TYT becoming the supreme counsel that censors the news based on what makes them uncomfortable or not. News isn't supposed to be always "pleasant" and funny IMO you can't call yourself journalists if you treat your audience like children. We are more than capable of making that decision to look away if we don't want to see it.

  8148. They don't have a damn thing to charge Biden with. It works better for them politically to keep everything vague, so they can keep claiming corruption over and over. Same thing they did with Benghazi where they kept pretending that somehow Obama or Clinton wanted people to die for no reason.
    1
  8149.  @SaulKopfenjager Right, and that entirely depends on the problem you're trying to solve. For healthcare it might mean more taxes and more agencies regulating health services. For defense, it might mean less money to the military industrial complex and more effort towards cooperative endeavors and diplomacy might be better.
    1
  8150. On this topic I much prefer Ben & Jayar's nuance over Cenk's simplistic bravado... It is funny how "Americans" (who once threw out a monarchy) treat their presidents like "Kings". Yeah Cenk... Obama lied to you and likes to kill little boys and spy on you because he's evil. It has NOTHING to do with the Military Industrial Complex or the system that's been grinding on for years. Keep naively wishing that the next "King" making you promises will magically "change" everything for you.

  8151. You're partly right and partly wrong. She was responding to a question on Republican strategy, but It is completely irresponsible for Clinton to go around calling people "Russian assets" or "favorites of the Russians" with ZERO evidence. She's making everything worse by doing that.

  8152. Yes there has to be mechanisms to allow innovation. However there was innovation long before capitalism and it's sad that we completely forget the scientists and researchers barely making a decent living.... Yet they work every single day making new discoveries simply to advance science.... We forget them, yet we idolize the CEOs who make obscene profits from those discoveries. The only reason we know Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. is because of the constant marketing we're bombarded with.

  8153. I also tip whenever I can, but I wonder if propping up a broken system is the best thing to do. As long as we keep tipping employers are going to continue using tips as a substitute for good wages.

  8155. 3. The "free market" is a myth. It has never existed and never will exist. When a business or individual buys a politician for their own gain THAT IS THE MARKET IN ACTION. War for profit, laws favorable to an industry, deregulation, even the Fed (which is a PRIVATE organization created by banks) are ALL the result of market forces. By having blind faith in a myth you ignore real problems... The Fed is nothing more than a symptom. The economy collapsed MANY times before it ever existed.

  8158. In a lot of ways kids reflect our own selfishness... We want something to project and reflect our own dreams, aspirations, likes, dislikes, and beliefs. It's sad to see kids pushed into something they clearly don't want to do. Whether it's parents forcing their kids into a beauty pagent, parading them on stage for political ambition, making them pretend they are not gay to satisfy your own ego, or pushing them into making political statements. It's all pretty sad, selfish behavior.

  8164. CorbenikTheHarbinger, Like you said it IS a multidimensional problem. CEO's have "minions performing much of the work" because thier lives are *extremely* busy and hi-stress. It's not like they're sitting there collecting money for doing nothing. When capitalism interferes with the government and the government interferes with capitalism it is flawed. Just like the seperation of powers there should be strict constitutional laws on how one influences the other...

  8165. 1. I'm not ignoring "raw data". I'm dismissing your personal anecdotal evidence (which is by definition unreliable) in favor of scientific and more objective data. Reasonable people look at objective data. Religious/irrational people look for anything to reinforce their existing beliefs. 2. Congress passes laws, executive branch and police departments enforce those laws.. That's exactly how the consitution says our government should work. It's not based on the laws you happen to agree with.

  8166. People with twisted morals immediately believe what a murderer says and pretend it's a valid excuse to murder people. Also if you think touching a door handle means you get to kill people, then you're just a really bad person looking for excuses to kill people.
    1
  8167.  @dannicatzer305  Again, you don't even know if that is true or not. You're simply choosing to blindly believe the word of a murderer. People are going to question why you have such trust for a murderer as opposed to the victim who was shot. So why is that? Especially since there was an outer door and an inner door, so the likelihood of someone knowing that the outer door handle is moving is pretty unlikely. Also you don't shoot someone again as they are already lying on the ground with a bullet in their head because you were creeped out by a "door handle".
    1
  8168. To answer David Sarota's self diagnosing question. The reason you don't think Obama regularly goes skeet shooting IS BECAUSE HE'S BLACK. It's OK we're not impervious to stereotypes. I do lots of things not typically associated with black people (and also don't see many other black people doing those activities). However as president you get your own "vacation ranch" and staff, so it's not surprising to take up skeet shooting. It's also an activity you can do with other heads of state...

  8169. Jeez Cenk are we "both sides-ing" bomb threats now? Seriously? As if bomb threats to a guy with secret service protection and a police motorcade is in any way similar to the threats normal people get DAILY from right wingers. Someone WAS JUST KILLED over their pride flag for Christ sake. I watch TYT for a single segment on a mug shot just to get reminded on why I stopped watching.

  8170. Even if there was such "evidence" it doesn't make what he did a "terrorist plot to kill white people". Apparently people are under the impression that terrorist kill people with a secret motive and then expect people to investigate their twitter and facebook feeds to figure out the political statement they were trying to make. Sorry, but that' not how it works.... Why you people are trying to turn a tragedy into something more sensational is beyond me.
    1
  8171.  @geminierica4077  Again.... Apparently, you don't realize that the point of terrorism is to make it obvious so that you "terrorize" people..... Wow.... It's really amazing how people are so caught up in political BS, that they actually forgot why people do terrorism in the first place. There's a reason why the El Paso shooter released a manifesto. There's a reason why Cesar Sayoc mailed bombs to prominent Democrats. The whole point is to make a political statement and to make it obvious... Do you seriously not get that?

  8172. Sorry, but you don't help your case by pulling meaningless numbers out your ass. It sounds like you don't understand who was fighting in Vietnam or how it gave rise to tyrants and the "killing fields" It has nothing to do with "accountants". Understand that we've been in Iraq/Afghanistan longer than any war in our history. Also understand that the Iraeli/Palestinian conflct has lasted over 60 years... We need more democratic thinkers and less fools beliving their gun makes them a "badass"

  8173. Thom is specifically talking to people who support Trump's policies on the border.

  8174. Classic republican double speak... No they are not talking about "liberation theology" in the general sense they are talking about "BLACK liberation theology" OF COURSE it's race baiting.

Yet you have no problems inforcing the religious will when it comes to gay marriage or abortion.. hypocryte.

  8175. @prayfertrey Walking and Talking is a REALLY bad example because those are immediate needs. Walking and talking is also a natural instinct as part of our evolution. Are you saying things like staying away from dangerous things (fire, guns. busy streets, drugs) should not be taught because kids will just "figure it out"? Should we put a kid in a car tell them to go driving, "have at it" or should we force them to learn the fundementals first?

  8176. It is far less likely that Sam's daughter would be greatly symptomatic with Covid regardless of vaccination just because of her age. The "twitter poll" on people dying of covid doesn't take into account that 80% of the people in the country have gotten at least one does of the vaccine so even if the number of people who died was exactly the same it would still show the vaccine reducing hospitalization and deaths.

  8177. Sorry, but "not fixing every problem" is not really an argument.... Maybe he should try fixing the problem you're worried about instead of pretending there is nothing that can be done, especially when you have a platform unlike most people in the country.

  8178. @ggadguy And please spare me the typical "free market" hypotheticals. It's propoganda used to fool people into supporting corptocracies. The world is a lot more complicated than a small village and the local bakery. The fact is a child in Kansas can die from a processed food item , packaged in Tennessee, processed in New York were one ingredient from Texas is toxic. A single consumer can not investigate or stop a supply chain providing various derivitive products to the entire south east.

Just like McCain, Romney, Paul, etc. etc. So please stop pretending that Clinton is relevant when she's not. And Kyle should stop pretending to be "balanced" by comparing Trump to a democrat from a year ago. It's time we stop elevating Clinton to some "great leader of the democratic party" when she's never been one.

How horrible the crime is doesn't change the fact that their brains haven't matured.

  8184. All energy is inherently part of the "commons". It requires public funding, public lands, and has enourmous public consequences when disasters happen. Whaling (whale oil), oil, nuclear power, coal, fraking, have ALL led to profit driven disasters. Energy is too important for us and the planet to be privatized. It's just as dumb as having mercenaries fight our wars. We failed democracy when we let energy companies become so powerful that they now influence governments around the world.

The Mayors, Governers, and state legislators have bankrupted those states. The teachers, cops, fire fighters, have nothing to do with that. If a business fails it's the fault of the company officers or the market, not the workers. We don't live in a facist society where people don't have a voice. It doesn't matter where they happen work.

  8187.  @buttertoast1146  Most people who aren't morons understand the relationship between viral outbreaks and "big cities" and the fact that it's far easier to spread a virus when a lot of people are in close proximity to one another and hubs for air travel. Yet even still the largest city in the country, NY, is doing far better than FL and TX because they're being strict about the virus. Furthermore California is one of the largest economies in the entire world and we wouldn't be talking right now if weren't for YouTube, Google, Apple, and dozens of other tech companies that were founded and/or headquartered in CA and entirely responsible for nearly all of your technology and entertainment. So keep absorbing that right wing nonsense melting your brain.

  8188. What if they discriminated because they were black? How is it any different? WTF does the fact that the parents are gay have anything to do with the service that the school is providing? I now that there is a blurry line between what is discrimination and what is just company policy... However many of the freedoms that black people fought for back in the day (military service, marriage, & freedom buy what you want to buy) are similar to what gay people are struggling for today.

  8190. @droidclone It's called an analogy, not name calling. Just because I disagree with a policy doesn't mean I disagree with "government itself". The fact is you or I wouldn't be making the money we make lving in a country with a non functioning weak government. Taxes are the lowest they've been in 60 YEARS.. If less taxes created less corruption things would be getting better not worse Through Nixon and Reagan the plutocracy used Libertarian Ideology to consolidate wealth and control gov't

  8192. Crying "debunked" while providing no evidence is the typical tactic used by those who are only interested in reinforcing their beliefs. The article is completely incorrect in suggesting a few states with a high minimum wage & high unemployment somehow means *increasing* minimum wage increases unemployment. If you're actually interested in truth you'd look for real studies not simplistic "observations". There are many studies showing the effects of minimum wage *increases* in US, China, etc.

Turn news from a profit center into "news" again & you'll see something less "hunger games" & more "PBS".

We should just go back to a feudal system where powerful people with resources own their own fiefdoms, because heaven forbid we create any sort of society that benefits a common good.

  8197.  Loco Chang  Yeah that's why we have a thing called "democracy" in order to decide these things. Otherwise we're just a bunch of fiefdoms. Which is basically what corporations are. Government sanctioned fiefdoms that rely on government legal systems and government infrastructure in order to function. Or "free stuff" as you would call it.

  8201. @ghiisga Sorry, but the idea of "less taxes means less corruption" or "small governement" is nothing more than propoganda from the oligarchy to fool people. In reality that translates to less taxes for the rich and less regulations for multinational corporations to poison our environment and outsource jobs. Taxes collections as a % of GDP is at a 60 YEAR LOW. Bush Cut taxes, Obama Cut taxes. In return we got a deficit on the backs of the poor and middle class and even more corruption.

When you realize that it's the *perspective* that is limited and not the person It puts a whole new outlook on people and on life. We are all limited by our human perspectives and our human experiences. However we don't have to be controlled by them.

  8204. 1. Again... I know people that have lived in Kennesaw for decades. I was just at a get together a few months ago. In no way shape or form are they required to own a firearm. 2. The US has over FIVE TIMES the number of guns per 100 as the Czech Republic (88.5 compared to 16.3) and has THREE TIMES the homicide rate. It's the same with Belgium. So why on earth are you using the Czech Republic or Belgium as examples when they completely validate the studies I just mentioned?

  8206. Obviously real ideas requires studying the actual cases and deaths. If you want my "opinion" then I'd say ideas that sound good to me are: 1. Restricting the availability of extended magazine clip sizes. So that if someone decides to go on a shooting spree the impact can be reduced. 2. Cracking down on legal/illegal ways gun traffickers and dealers funnel weapons to inner city gangs. 3. Insuring people are educated on the safe use of a handgun if bringing one in the home around children.

  8207. Briahna constantly deflects when it comes to tactics. Biden losing to Trump doesn't give you any "leverage" Briahna.... No one cares why someone did not vote, they only care who won. No one cared who voted for Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, and no one will care who voted for Cornell West. They only care who won and that is who will set the agenda for the country. Just like Trump set the agenda when he won and added 3 Supreme Court Judges that ended up overturning Roe.

  8208. 1. The US has four times the homicide rate of the UK. I find it really hard to believe that you are oblivious to this fact.... The homicide rate is FAR higher in the US than anywhere in Europe. 2. Again, you don't seem to understand the "anecdotal evidence" is not evidence... If scientists to relied on personal stories as evidence then we would still be using garlic to ward of "evil spirits". The studies clearly show that you and your family are more like to die from a gun by owning them.

  8209. 1. The point is... Nearly all countries with "little government" are 3rd world countries. The fact is you have absolutely ZERO evidence of libertarian ideology actually working. Just a "gut feeling" that you base your opinions on. 2. Yes there is a TON of waste in government. There is also a TON of waste in the private sector. However if your solution is to pick the side you like and "throw the baby out with the bath water" then you're not being rational, you're simply being reactionary.

Sure because the DOJ has never heard of that right? 😂 If you actually read the Presidential Record Act you would know that it has strict guidelines for how presidential records can be handled and has nothing to do with classified intel.

We are so OBSESSED with funneling money to a few multinational corporations instead of actually doing what's best for the planet and MANKIND. It's fucking crazy. Money is FAKE, no different than Monopoly money. This is a game we created for ourselves that we cannot seem wake up from.

I can also bring a BIGGER gun and more people. There are plenty of third world countries (Somalia, Zimbabwe, parts of afghanistan. etc.) that live like this with little governance. Go live there, preach about your rights, and see how that works out for you... If you want to go live in an Anarchy society then so be it.

YOU feel obligated to justify the actions of one group despite the fact that 100 times more palestinians are killed.. So what do you basing your unconditional support of the right wing of the Israeli government? I say right wing because it's not like most Israelis agree with all those policies either. Most people here think so because they blindy follow the propoganda from AIPAC .

If you don't understand the difference there, then I'm not sure what to tell you.... Guiliani is more than welcome to hire whomever he wants to do opposition research, but Trump directing the state department and officials from a foreign country to work with his personal lawyer to find dirt on a political opponent is just nuts.

  8224. It makes someone a racist (and completely ignorant) when they quote a statistic in order to pretend that someone's race is somehow genetically causing them to commit crimes. Guess what? According to the same FBI crime and violence is directly related to poverty and population densities. Gee maybe the fact that a lot of black people are poor and live in inner cities has something do with that crime statistic? Gee maybe that's why crime doesn't magically disappear when you go to inner cities in the UK, Ireland, and Russia which has the highest murder rate in the world...

No different than the Hunter Biden Laptop nonsense which somehow has proof of an international cabal run by the Biden family when they have nothing but a message saying "Big guy" or some bullshit like that.

Despite the promises of gun-industry advertising, a woman is far more likely to be the victim of a handgun homicide than to use a handgun in a justifiable homicide. When a woman did use a handgun to kill in self-defense, it was usually against someone she knew, not against a stranger."

Not sure what progressives can do other than just not pass anything, which he corporate democrats would have been fine with. Also it's not like Republicans do anything for their actual constituents. Fear mongering is just a way to shovel money into military contractors, private prisons, private detention facilities, etc. Pretty much anything that favors the rich.

  8237. If a Democrat is charged with a crime, it's "let's see how the investigation or trial turns out" If a Republican is charged with a crime, it must be a Republican FBI investigator, attorney, judge, and jury, who are also "Pro-Trump", otherwise it's a political conspiracy.

  8238. It's sad, but over the years the right wing has successfully instilled an irrational fear of government in a lot of people.

  8239. To be fair TYT had pretty much had the same opinions 4 years ago and to be fair to Kyle he has changed his tone over the past month or so he has basically said that Trump is an existential threat and is no longer pushing the idea of not supporting Biden. An out of control virus killing thousands of people every week due to incompetence has a way of changing your perspective.... Jimmy isn't worth listening to so I have no idea what he's saying lately. He's an entertaining guy, but he seriously needs someone to counteract his bs and present facts. Unfortunately he seems content with just making stuff up as he goes along. 🙄

  8240. Would you call a person who has never heard the concept of "god" an athiest? Not knowing, and not having belief. Is not the same as "disbelief" or "rejecting" belief. This is where the word "Atheism" came from. Creating two catagories of "belief in god" vs "non-belief in god" is based on a false dichomtomy you've created based on YOUR culture and YOUR personal worldview. Agnosticism rejects that whole notion.

  8241. The main reason that Trump won in 2016 is because he had no record and could sling mud at the establishment all day and pretend he could do better. Now that Trump has a record, a significantly negative record that he can't run away from, he has zero chance of winning in 2024. Unless the economy tanks or Biden gets hospitalized or dies Trump would have no chance of beating him. DeSantis would do a much better job against Biden because he still has that "outsider cred" that gullible people fall for.

  8242. The same people screaming "hoax" and "witch hunt" will turn around and IMMEDIATELY do the same thing to Biden/Hunter. The only reason you say the Burisma thing is "fair" is because the right wing will say it over and over again until you have to pretend it's a good point in order to sound "objective". "Criticizing Hunter" is not a f*cking substantive argument for anything for a guy who was never in public office.

  8246. I agree with Cenk... What would these kids get if she hadn't committed suicide? NOTHING. Yes bullying is a problem, but you punish the actions not the result. All to often we look for something to blame only when a tragedy happens. The REAL problem is that this girl had no one to go to AT THE TIME she was being bullied. Whether it be counseling or police. What sort of message are we sending to those that get bullied today? if you commit suicide the people picking on you will go to jail?

  8250. The problem is our tendency to mindlessly worship "ancient wisdom" as if people suddenly stopped thinking 200 years ago. The founders, Jesus, Buddha, etc. most great thinkers thought of themselves as a step along a path and wanted their thoughts to move mankind forward not end all progress. Society should base itself on current understandings, current science. Technology hasn't stopped progressing and neither should philosophy, spirituality, or the social contract that binds us together.

The Flores agreement has absolutely nothing to do with the policies that the Trump administration and specifically Jeff Sessions had put into place. Again, two minutes of Googling would have given you this information. The Trump administration specifically implemented policies (and there is video of them announcing these policies) to try and deter migrants coming to this country. Rather than deter migrants those policies created a humanitarian crisis on the border. Then you have the SAME PEOPLE who praised these policies when Trump first announced them now want to turn around and pretend it was somehow all Obama's doing when the shit backfired. Instead of deterring immigrants they created a humanitarian crises and incentivised more migrant families to come here because they're afraid of not getting here before Trump shuts down the border.

  8270.  @synchronium24  I would argue that a couple trans activists with controversial opinions doesn't add anything at all. There are very few people on the right who would even be aware of them let alone any specific things they've said. In any political struggle you're always going to have activists with controversial opinions that aren't always agreed upon. Such as Martin Luther King vs Malcom X vs Black Panthers. There is certainly something to be said about "meeting people where they are" and not turning people off with ideas that they might find extreme, but I think our time is better spent fighting against the people on the wrong side of history rather than trying to police the speech of people we agree with 95% of the time.
    1
  8271.  @synchronium24  Disagreeing with one idea doesn't mean you disagree with 95% of a person's ideas. I have literally never heard anyone on the right react to a "social constructionist" view on the trans issue from the left. So I think you're taking the bubble you're in and pretending it's being applied everywhere when in reality the conversation on the right is nowhere near that nuanced. The right wing denies that trans people exist in the same way they deny that gay people exist. Many still think that being gay is a choice and that religion can "cure the gayness". That was never because of some far left view from gay activists. It's because they want to delegitimize the existence of gay people, period. The left constantly eats itself by nit picking over minor differences. The reality is these right wingers are trying to destroy trans people. Aligning yourself to that because you' don't like a youtuber's perspective is not helpful. And that perspective probably just comes from that person being somewhere else "on the spectrum" than other trans people.

  8274. It wasn't like a mob just grabbed her and forced her into that position.... It's a standard stretching exercise that I'm pretty sure she volunteered to do. They just went further than she wanted. Furthermore this is video from months ago, why didn't she stop then? It's kind of a trainer's job to force a person beyond their limits and if we pretend that every trainer should be sued or jailed whenever someone pulls a muscle then it just goes to far. The video also cut off before they show the trainer letting go after her repeated protests.
    1
  8275. Dorian, If you look for the full clip online it shows that they let her go right after her repeated protests. In this clip they cut it before that happens so it makes you think that this was going on for a long time when in reality it was just going on for a few seconds. There is also another cheerleader that protested and then stopped as her muscles adjusted into the position. It's the job of a trainer to push someone beyond what they think they can do. So at times it maybe difficult to gauge what is physical problem vs a mental problem. I would honestly like to see someone achieve the level of flexibility that cheer leaders and martial artists have through just "relaxation". We're not talking about the level of flexibility required to play softball or tennis. Anyone trying to achieve athletic prowess is going to go through some agony. Sorry, but there's no way around pain. You're not going to "relax" your way into becoming an Olympic gymnast.

  8276. Hindsight is 20/20.... How exactly do you broach the topic that the vice president, president, secretary of defense, directory of the CIA, and the national security advisor are all LYING to you?... To call someone a "war criminal" just because they were lied into giving a speech in front of the UN is effing absurd... A "war criminal" is someone who actually wanted a war and waged war crimes, not someone used by the president of the united states to persuade others for that purpose. You act as if Colin Powel wanted to personally slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians. Yes he was fool for being used by a completely corrupt administration, but to call someone "war criminal" based on how that administration used him and then subsequently WENT AROUND THE UN to wage a war of choice is absurd. Blaming a person for not falling on their sword in a way that might have persuaded enough people to maybe stop the neocons from waging that war, is absurd. I believe in blaming people who actually wanted war, not the people who were used along the way. I also don't believe in blaming people who probably would probably would have made different choices if they owned a time machine.

  8281. There were dozens of arrests as a result of Mueller and the FBI's investigation so if you're claiming that "Russiagate was BS" you really need to be specific. Otherwise you just sound foolish. Furthermore, it is a well known fact that Trump received a LOT of money from Russian Oligarchs and there was an implication that he was laundering money for them. Which EVERYONE knew at the time of Mueller's investigation. You also knew this so stop pretending as if Trump's shady businesses practices were not related to the Russia investigation.. They ABSOLUTELY were related because it was the only motivation that Trump would have to be so submissive to Russian financial interests. Keep in mind everything that Trump blocked when it came to Russian foreign policy was related to Russian FINANCIAL INTERESTS. That's why it was so frustrating when you would point out Trump going against Russian interest militarily when that was never the issue. The problem is you could not PROVE the illegal behavior in Trump's business ties without a thorough investigation of the Trump Organization which was going to take time. Keep in mind there was a lot redacted in Mueller's report related to ongoing investigations that was never disclosed. So trying to impeach Trump on business ties without concrete evidence was just going to look like people trying to impeach trump for being rich. Without concrete evidence everything would be circumstantial. Trump had business deal with the Saudis and then made a weapons deal with the Saudis as president, so what? A bunch of other presidents made weapons deals with the Saudis, it's not enough to prove anything.

  8282. The framing of the question is wrong.... "Should Be Able To Be President" is a legal question. It doesn't indicate actual support if he was convicted and sent to prison.

  8289.  @The-Contractor  Sure, journalism should be based on facts, but how you present those facts is always going to have bias. For example the same story from a US journalist vs. an Iranian or Afghanistan journalist, you would likely get an entirely different spin, take, or emphasis on the same set of facts, But to your point, yes... because of capitalism and the elimination of things like the fairness doctrine, "opinion news" and punditry is far more profitable than just giving straight news. BTW an amazing movie that still remains relevant today as it did 45 years ago is "Network".

  8298. @2010GOP [Sigh]... Do you even know what a "fact" is? Or do you just regurgitate whatever Rush Limbaugh tells you? I can't find a single reference to the CBO saying the healthcare bill will "increase the deficit" You're so quick to call people "dumb" but you don't even check your own facts... Instead of trying to be "left" vs "right", "right" vs. "wrong" or "us" vs "them". Try to be educated first. BTW healthcare is being "rationed" by Insurance companies TODAY.

  8305.  @dashx1103  Yes, I probably should have been more clear in my original comment, but generally when people refer to a "heartbeat bill" it's referring to that 6 week mark when they say a heartbeat can be detected. But in reality they are just referring to cells that will eventually form a heart, but are just starting to produce an electrical signal at that point.

I've used my AC more than ever. It's deadly hot and people have been staying inside. However I wouldn't apply temperatures here to the ENTIRE WORLD. There are these people called "scientists" that use things other than my AC bill or rain in so cal that are a bit more accurate...

You're failing to distinguish the difference between a "metric" used to compare/contrasts and show improvments (social mobility, inequality, poverty, mortality, etc.) and a "tradition" or "institution" (i.e. Slavery). Those are entirely different and unrelated concepts that you're conflating. 2. What does it matter what the tax was for? Even war and rebuilding is still the "commons". That said, ending our large military expenditures would take a huge chunk out of that tax.

  8312. The brother is how we should be as a society. Sorry, I'm not going to be hateful towards someone who has made a mistake no matter who they are. We're taught to use our criminal justice system to get revenge on people, not to rehabilitate, not to quarantine someone who might be dangerous to others, it's mostly just based on vengeance. It's effing barbaric. It doesn't reduce crime, it just gives us an outlet for the darkest parts of humanity. Yes it should be "equally applied", but to say everyone should suffer because of injustice somewhere else is ludicrous. Should every American citizen be tortured since we've tortured innocent people? Or maybe we should just stop torturing innocent people?

If you believe that someone could honestly look all the evidence and testimony and basically vote "I don't know, maybe the process is political" then you're an effing idiot. Just like when she was "conflicted" on the idea of torture as late as 2014, just like she wasn't sure about Medicare for All, Just like she fought against gay rights until she had a come to jesus moment. Someone who is this indecisive on basic issues should be nowhere near the white house, sorry.

  8314. So your "evidence" is an unverified claim from a local news station reporting 232 people over 10 years. 1. You conveniently left out the part where: Administration Research Center at UC-Berkeley, said "Probably what we're looking at is a lot of administrative error." 2. Even if the 232 is accurate (it probably isn't). You have no idea which party they voted for. Again, where is that evidence? 3. You're honest comparing a few dozen people to 10s of thousands being suppressed from voting?.

  8317. @elfornse In case you didn't know taxes pay for lots or services, many of those services aren't utilized by everyone that pays into it. The same goes for Insurance where there is even less services returned vs. money paid into it. I suppose if you don't want to pay taxes, feel free to live in Somalia, Afghanistan, or a banana republic somewhere where that is perfectly acceptable. There are plenty of examples around the world of countries that implement a tax system you may like.

  8318. 20% of the population were slaves at one point, based on Kyle's argument if a high percentage wanted to free themselves then we shouldn't have allowed it because of a sudden loss of labor. Also you're not an expert so your opinion on "treatments" doesn't really matter. I think Krystal's position is much more reasonable. If you have dependents then your decisions effect others just like limits on owning nukes or anthrax can harm others. Kyle's position comes more from an "I know better than you" attitude.

Someone can say "freedom has limits" and use that to justify slavery, Jim Crow, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, as well as a host of other things. It's a meaningless statement without an actual argument attached to it. Saying "I don't like the idea of something" is not a real argument, it's nothing more than a feeling. Krystal saying that people should be able to do whatever they want as long as they're not impacting a child dependent on them is a real argument because it's actually based on something.

  8322. Great, we're going to lose while Kyle & Ana feel good about their arguments.... It's pretty foolish to think that just because people in FL voted for Obama, Trump, and Medicare that it somehow represents the same group of voters. It's not. A lot of times what matters it what is motivating people to turn out to vote. Obama motivated more people. Then Trump motivated more people. You can say that the culture wars are a distraction, but it's a distraction that motivates people to vote and if you're not addressing that, then you're going to end up losing while trying to be "intellectually fair" and smelling your own farts. Do you think Trump's popularity came from being fair and honest or being careful with his generalizations? NO, OF COURSE NOT. 🤦🏽‍♂ Constantly generalizing and summing things up into sound bite is why Trump became popular, not because he created a 20 minute speech on facts. DO YOU NOT GET THAT? I'm sick and tired of "the left" thinking that the right wing, or even the general public, processes information in the same way they do. The facts around the election not being stolen and campaign finance violations by Cohen have been out there for YEARS now. If laying out the facts and details had any effect what so ever, then a large chunk of the Republican party wouldn't still be thinking that the election was stolen and Trump was innocent.

  8323. 0:48 Really Kyle? Everyone who has ever worked for an intelligence agency ALL want regime change? What kind of silly reductive argument is that? That would be like ISIS believing everyone in the US is guilty simply because we elected leaders that did bad things in the middle east. Why even bring it up if he somehow secretly wanted it to happen? Gee maybe "intelligence agencies" isn't some monolith of singular thought just because some have done some bad shit in the past.

  8324. Honestly the left really should pump the brakes on immediately tying this crime to anti-Asian sentiment that Trump has helped spread. This is no different than how the Right tried to tie anything bad that a middle easterner did to ISIS and Al Qaeda. If someone wanted to target Asians there are FAR easier ways to do it here in GA than driving to different massage parlors 30 miles apart. In my mind this is no different than the Orlando shooting where the Right pretended for weeks that it had something to do with ISIS when it turned out to be more about mental illness and the guy's sexual frustrations of being gay while in a religious family.

  8329. It only took a minute for you to contradict yourself. "Women have always sought abortions" then 30 seconds later "humans have mostly never existed with the option to terminate unwanted pregnancies". Gee I'm pretty sure the archeological record of the NUMEROUS ways people tried to terminate pregnancies would disagree with you (even written on Egyptian Papyrus), as well as the multiple methods that humans used to attempt contraception. Certainly, the way we terminate a pregnancy today is FAR better than the dangerous methods employed back then and sometimes people would literally dispose of babies after giving birth when there was no medical option. The rest of your diatribe attempts to draw a correlation to things where there is likely no causation. As far as corporations, sure an abortion is far less costly than maternity leave or childcare and that probably goes into the calculous of whether a company will offer that or not, but let's not pretend that women are deciding to have children and start a family based on whether a company pays for abortions or not. The idea that women have no agency for themselves and make decisions based on frivolous things is pretty absurd. Women are not children. They are capable of making moral or life changing decisions for themselves without the intervention of state policy telling them what they are allowed to do with their own bodies. Also "alienation" has nothing to do with corporations offering to pay for their employee's abortions any more than free coffee in the breakroom. If you want to criticize "company provided healthcare" in general and how corporate health coverage and family plans are often used to shackle employees to their jobs then I'm here for it, but it is disingenuous to take a single benefit from a company's health coverage and pretend it is something manipulative.

So it's not a question of "if" we come up with an alternative, but when. Furthermore first world countries always have "more government", because the more capitalism you have the more government is required to maintain it.

Then I can guarantee that you would see corporations in the assassination business. Government creates the incentives and disincentives for markets to flourish. Sitting around wagging your finger at a CEO doing his job doesn't accomplish squat. Someone can wag their finger at you for buying clothes and other products from corporations that do shady practices. Everyone in this country is culpable for the rules that we live by.

  8351. It would have been nice if there was an actual nuanced discussion. However a discussion isn't a one sided monolog where they complain about unnamed left wing "activists". Other channels would bring on trans people or subject matter experts to discuss issues. However TYT is not. They are going with right wing framing and just telling people what they think based on right wing framing. They actually had a trans person as a contributor, but they wouldn't discuss anything with her on air. Instead Cenk had a phone call and the person quit. Many other of their moderators, etc. have also quit over this. I have been watching TYT regularly since 2005 and I recently canceled my membership over this and the fact that, as predicted, Ana's words are now being used as propaganda on the Fox News website. The Humanist Report did a really good video on this several days ago.

  8360.  @BigBismark  Cool story, but I think you missed the part where it is prohibitively expensive to send large heavy poles of tungsten into space and even if we could it is far less powerful than even the weakest nuclear weapons we have today.
    1
  8361.  @BigBismark  It's not going to be as cheap as nukes anytime soon. Manufacturing a tungsten rod isn't the difficult part. The difficult part is launching a dozen or more heavy-ass rods each weighing more than a large truck into space and then creating guidance system capable precision targeting. Of course you would need to spend a long time testing such a system without anyone else in the world noticing. Which isn't likely to happen... Never mind the fact that you would need a whole bunch of these satellites in order to be able to attack different targets. So you're talking about spending an enormous amount of energy launching dozens of satellites containing a dozen heavy tungsten rods. Whereas a single nuke on an intercontinental missile can be pointed anywhere. As you've clearly seen with SpaceX's many failures. Launching things into space is not easy even when you have billions of dollars to waste. So the idea that the Chinese would waste a lot of money on something like this when conventional bombs/nukes would be cheaper and more effective is kind of absurd.

  8369.  @serendipity9649  Yeah that's why I said "we still don't know" which is more effective for lasting immunity. It's not like I would advocate that someone get Covid just to get immunity or anything. 😂 However as someone who had Covid it is something I've been paying close attention to. We tend to overuse and abuse things that work, like antibiotics and pain killers. I could easily see a situation where pharmaceutical companies, in order to maintain their profits, start pressuring the public into getting yearly Covid vaccinations which could create an "imprinting" situation and make people more susceptible to other types of viruses in the future. However for TYT to say that having immunity to Covid after getting infected with Covid "Isn't a thing" is not being accurate or truthful. Rand Paul has said a lot of dumb things, but he's not entirely wrong on that point.

  8370.  @AdamBladeTaylor  Dude... Use google and look at the recent studies. I'm not going to argue someone about "science" who hasn't even bothered to look at the recent "science"... 🙄 It went from 2 months, to 4 months, to 6 months, to 8 months. Every time they've studied people who have recovered with Covid they have found lasting immunity to Covid. Yes a few people have gotten re-infected, but people have also gotten infected with Covid after vaccination. Neither vaccination nor natural immunity is 100% and there still isn't enough data to know which is better or longer lasting although scientist lean towards natural immunity having the longer immune response. The damage that Covid does has absolutely nothing to do with getting re-infected or not, so please stop saying nonsense. I have had Covid. So I have been paying attention to this crap for many months now.
    1
  8371.  @serendipity9649  And things like the yearly flu vaccine consistently have an under 50% rate of effectiveness is partially due to things like "imprinting". Again... I never said that anyone should get Covid in order to get immunity to Covid, because it is the only way of getting herd immunity without killing a lot of people. However like with all medicines, people need to be aware of potential downsides of their overuse. No one thought that antibiotics would be overused until they were.

Of course it fluctuates from year to year, but According to 2018 WHO data the US was 27th out of 169 countries in flu deaths. Below Israel, France, and Germany. But above the UK, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, South Korea, etc. We ranked pretty closed to Canada that year. We certainly have a huge problem with our health care system which leads to tens of thousands of deaths every year and I'm sure some of that leads to additional flu deaths, but I don't think you can directly tie flu deaths to any anti-vaccine rhetoric surrounding flu vaccines. That seems to be an assertion not really based on anything.

  8374.  @larryb7273  If you're going to pretend that investigations and arrests didn't happen under Obama or holder then you're kind of a moron. You're exhibiting textbook "magical thinking" which is a typical symptom of a Trump supporter. I'm sure you believe in Q-anon and all sorts of nonsense too.

  8375. @xxcrysad3000xx Thom wouldn't be the first to use hyperbole to get his point across and obviously his psychotherapy background provides him a more clinical perspective. However even in those videos he is being very specifc, not simply labeling everyone who has "achieved a high level of success or power" as a sociopath. And while I agree that dehumanizing labels for individuals is not productive, sociopathic behavior does exist in our society and is no different than talking about depression.

  8378. I like how Cenk says that Hasan is "far left" and "agrees with every trans issue", but simultaneously says that he agrees with him and that the Majority Report should criticize him for that.... Cenk sounds completely unhinged and deranged. I'm seriously starting to question his sanity...

  8379. @ShatterNWO Yes I do, because the natural tendency of the profit motive is to "collude" in order to gain more advantages in order to gain more profit. This is why businesses create "Trusts", such as Standard Oil. This is why countries have "competition laws" (or anti-trust laws). This is also why businesses manipulate governments (though campaign financing, PACs,"revolving door", etc). The "profit motive" is the driving force behind all of this and it's been going on for centuries.

  8380. So your family saying you shouldn't have weapons should be enough for someone to search your house and confiscate your weapons? How would that law work exactly? "Pristine record" where exactly? Who has this record? These are very vague rules Kyle. The issue is with guns and gun culture. If playing with hand grenades was a popular pastime in this country you would see a lot more bombings. The fact that we normalize and even encourage assault weapons in this country means that a lot of people who are violent will choose them as their weapon of choice when looking to kill a lot of people.

  8381. 1. You're referring to a nonsense ordinance made for political reasons. It is not something actually enforced... think about it. 2. I never said that *I* personally want to take any guns... I'm just stating what the facts are: More guns = more deaths (accidental, suicides, and homicides). It's up to us whether we want to except those extra deaths as a trade off for the "fun" of owning guns. Background checks, registration, magazine limits, perhaps even insurance, all make sense to me.

You're condeming half the population to death due to your propoganda (Similar to Nazis) 41% of the population are arested by age 23. Should they all die too?

You clearly don't understand were "corruption" comes from in government. If you did you'd realize how stupid your last statement is. "Nuance" is understanding which rights and understanding where corruption actually comes from instead of making meaningless blanket statements.

  8386. @BoyNamedAbe You can't look at it as one big government budget... SS is a completely seperate program. The fact that the government running a deficit in one year has nothing to do with it. The problem is when the government treats SS like it's "free money" just becayse it has a big surplus. So they take ("borrow") money from it to spend on other things like wars, etc. without actually having to pay for those things by going through proper budgetary channels.

  8387. I don't know Cenk.... It's hard to judge based on those quotes. Keep in mind this was between administrations. Obama hadn't even been sworn in yet, so you really have no idea what sort of politics were going on at that time. Did Paulson really "cave" or was he simply using Obama as an excuse? Iis a "president elect" really going to go against a standing administration's directives before he is sworn in? Probably not.

John Bolton shouldn't be trusted but at the same time he has nothing to gain by lying in a book. Trump is already on the record doing half of these things.

  8397.  @g.h.standifur1624  Gee, still no proof of Sondland retracting his statement huh?... Still no evidence of Sondland saying "there was no quid pro quo" huh? Sorry, I don't play games or fall for people deflecting and changing the topic when they get called out in a lie . Present facts that proves your original assertion, or just admit to your lie I've had enough of your grifting and your political bullshit. Someone who lies then changes the subject is neither neutral nor an honest actor. So stop pretending to be. I've given you smplr opportunities here to support your statement with "facts". So why aren't you doing it? I didn't ask nor do I care what you think about Trump. I asked you to quit lying.

  8398.  @g.h.standifur1624  Your comment never showed up for anyone. lookup youtube "Ghosting". 1. You said he "retracted" his statement which was a total lie. That never happened. Own up to it. 2. There are literally dozens of articles showing that the Ukrainians did know the aid was being withheld. The Foreign minister at the time, Pavlo Klimkin said they were "blindsided" by this. 3. Senators in both parties (even McConnell) repeated asked why the aid was being held up because diplomats were asking them what was going on with the aid. 4. The aid was only released AFTER the whistleblower's statements were made known to Congress. In other words. Trump only released the aid when he got caught. NOT as part of any official policy. 5. President Zelensky had an interview scheduled with Fareed Zakaria on CNN where he was going to announce an "investigation" into the Bidens. As Sondland stated, Trump "wanted a public announcement". Zelensky canceled that interview AS SOON AS THE AID WAS RELEASED. No matter the bs and lies you spread there is an actual timeline of everything that happened and unlike you. I am informed on the actual facts not propaganda coming out of the white house.

  8400.  @g.h.standifur1624  --"show me the article where the Ukrainians say they knew they had to announce investigations to get aid...." This was what Sondland testified to UNDER OATH. The actions of Zelensky and Fareed Zakaria's own statements also corroborate this testimony. I never said there was an article. That is a straw man. --"I'll wait because u can't. " That's the point when you create straw man arguments.... Instead of addressing what the person actually said, you make up an argument/claim to get the answer you want.

  8402. Trump is pretty simple... He spent his entire life trying to overcome his father's psychological abuse, by lying to himself and others to make himself out to be grander than he actually was. Shameless self-promotion can sometimes be a good thing when it comes to television and marketing for real-estate. It was also good for the republican party who in 2016 after 8 years of Obama, didn't care about policy all they cared about was feeling good about themselves, owning the libs, and getting permission to be hateful.

  8404.  @AQuietNight  Yup, but an "executive producer" at least implies someone with money or clout or someone whose name looks good to promote the movie.

However I agree that some kind of pragmatic or easier to swallow interim solution needs to be branded and proposed. But unfortunately the growing pains means that the status quo will gain a lot more power and influence from AI while the rest of the world is still figuring out this strategy. So simultaneously slowing down the growth and reach of AI through labor movements and legislation while we also figure out the political strategy and branding is not a bad idea.

  8412. Trump won in 2016 with an economic framing but ALSO white identity politics. Americans DO care about the culture war. Maybe not as much as economics, but they do care about it. The "southern strategy" was an actual thing. The problem is that Republicans are on the wrong side of the culture war and Trump has pushed them so far to the extreme of that war that it's created a backlash. Kyle your bias is thinking that all Americans care about deep policies. Most people have absolutely no clue about another financial collapse they are nowhere near that deep into the nuances of economic policies.

  8417.  @sykoslim8851  Then you must believe that it was proven that Obama was secretly born in Kenya. The moon landing was faked (supposedly a ploy against the Soviet Union). Political leaders are secret Satan worshipers molesting children (those rumors started longer than 20 years ago). And the lizard people theory was all about controlling political leaders. So that was completely political/government. There's "911 was an inside job" that has never been proven There are thousands of political conspiracy theories that have never been proven. Just because a small handful have doesn't mean every crazy thing someone says is real.

  8418.  @sykoslim8851  That's the problem. People constantly going around talking about what they "believe" as opposed to what is actually proven and what there is actually empirical evidence for. This is why our democracy is doomed to fail. Too many people sitting around believing crap on the internet. I personally would never go around saying "Epstein didn't kill himself". I may think it is possible, but that possibility shouldn't automatically become a reality when people say it enough times... But that is the sad state of the world we're living in now.

  8419. Like all ideologs Conservatives and Libertarians like to claim the "founding fathers". So they project what they believe now to what the founding fathers believed back then and ignore things like slavery, public education, etc. It's the same with religion... Somehow "Jesus Christ" believed everything they do now even if the bible contradicts it. So they selectively ignore all the parts about money changers, condeming the rich, feeding the poor, etc. It's more about feeling than facts.

  8420.  @MHiggins  When did it become his job to do so? When it comes to political activism you take what you can get. I don't see how you can demand that private citizens do more. Although you could argue that if he was already involved behind the scenes. Then he should have come out and done so publicly.
    1
  8421.  @MHiggins  Yes, but my point is we shouldn't automatically expect the support of a private citizen. It's no longer his job to lead the party or even be involved in politics.
    1
  8422.  @MHiggins  Well it certainly isn't a stretch to blame Trump for those problems. All he cared about for months was whether the stock market was doing well or not. He even repeated that in the debate tonight. He even repeated the claim that focusing on the stock market was a good thing because a lot working people have 401Ks. As if that does anything for the people who are losing jobs and going homeless... Meanwhile countries like South Korea that took the virus seriously early on are doing great economically. I have no doubt that Trump will be indicted for crimes after he leaves office, but I seriously doubt that being incompetent with this virus and allowing hundreds of thousands of people to die and millions to lose their job will be one of those crimes. Not taking your job seriously and not caring about people is only a crime if you're doctor, not so much if you're president.

  8423. @xxcrysad3000xx Like I said, there is no evidence of these blanket statements. Thom has run serveral of his own busineses. So it seems like you're simply making something up that isn't there or rather making assumptions based on your own personal prenotions and political affiliations.

  8424.  @S_Ming407  It could easily be argued that leaving a pot on a stove is the same level of carelessness.... If your house is in an area known for wildfires then the same or worse could happen. Furthermore I don't know the specifics of the smoke bombs they used, but in general smoke bombs aren't exactly known for starting fires. They generate smoke, not sparks or flames. Police use them all the time. Most people would not believe that colored smoke would start a fire. Do you seriously think they thought that their smoke bomb could start a fire and end up killing someone? I'm pretty sure they weren't celebrating or taking it lightly when it happened. As far as punishment, if it were up to me I would fine or sue them for a large amount of money. When accidents happen and you're the cause, usually it ends up costing you quite a bit of money. However charging them with manslaughter goes way too far IMO. If this happens again, the people may just end up not calling 911 or owning up to it. Because why call 911 and cooperate with the police and fire dept if you could go to jail for manslaughter?
    1
  8425.  @S_Ming407  It's an accident either way. You simply put less value on family and friends getting together for a gender reveal. Someone else could just as easily put less value on cooking French fries on a stove if that ends up starting a fire. Either way it's a mistake resulting in unintended consequences. The lives of the victims aren't going to be fixed by putting the family in jail either.... I also don't think we should encourage people to feel better by making other's suffer. At times that seems to be the only purpose of our justice system, where we give people long prison sentences because somehow knowing that people are suffering in prison is supposed to make the victims feel better. I just think it's a bad mindset to have. People always only call 911 when they realize they cannot contain a fire. They also only call 911 when they're pretty sure they're having a heart attack and it's not something minor. Most people don't enjoy calling 911 unless they absolutely need to. There are going to be more and more fires this year and the next. People are going to die and property is going to be damaged. Blaming this one family simply because we were able to identify the source is really not going to solve the bigger problem.

  8430. I kind of agree with Cenk.... There are literally millions of things that parents can do to kids that may not be healthy. If the "therapy" itself is legal then there really isn't anything to say that a parent can't make their child go through it. You can legislate things that cause physical harm, but not the therapy itself. Just like you can't legislate against racism, but you can legislate against discriminatory practices.
    1
  8431.  MrG0TH1ER  Those things are proven to cause physical harm. Again, the judge said it was perfectly okay to ban techniques that cause physical harm. However banning the "idea" is a 1st amendment violation.
    1
  8432.  @timmyman1997  I think it's perfectly fine to make a civil case that an individual treatment center caused trauma or harm, but I think the point the judge was making is that you cannot just ban the "idea". It's sort of like saying fast food is generally bad for you and there are many cases of people dying of diabetes from consuming too much fast food, so we're just going to ban the concept of fast food. It's too broad and overreaching.
    1
  8433. ​ @TheRedRaccoonDog  I think the point is that they weren't able to provide enough evidence of enough harm in just "the idea" to override the 1st amendment rights of the parents. You could also argue (as Bloomberg did) that large sodas are intrinsically harmful. You could argue that a lot of things that parents do to their kids is intrinsically harmful (yelling, spanking, bad food, church, etc.). I remember being somewhat scarred from a bible camp my parents forced me to go to. The question is, does the chance of harm automatically override the freedom of the parents to raise their child how they see fit and would you want the state to control that for your own child? Because I can guarantee that there are many progressive parents who raise their children in atypical ways that a conservative would love to ban simply because they don't like it. If we go by the standard here all they would have to do is find something harmful about it to get it banned.

  8434. Most other animals on this planet consume other animals.... I don't get how human beings can claim moral superiority by not eating meat. Respect and sustain life, all life. Your factory farmed corn and pesticides wiping out insects, amphibians, rodents, and birds is not morally superior to me. Pretending that animals are just dumb and don't know better is just human arrogance nothing more.
    1
  8435.  @hematadopormenos  Wrong, most animals are not in fact herbivores. Most animals are omnivores or carnivores. However even many herbivores will eat meat when given the opportunity. Furthermore things like lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, can have a higher carbon footprint than pork and chicken... Rabbits are an incredibly sustainable source of meat and have a super low carbon footprint. Most of the studies done on meat and climate change focus purely on factory farmed cows fed mostly grain. They don't even look at 100% grassed cows which have a MUCH lower carbon footprint, because they DON'T eat grain and require large grasslands to graze on and all that grass absorbs more carbon.
    1
  8436.  @hematadopormenos  Humans are held to their own standard for survival not a lions standard. Just like a lion isn't held to a bears standard. --"In fact, an abundance of animals including a majority of our closest primate cousins are completely herbivorous" That is completely false. Our closest cousins also eat insects and small animals. You people are pretty clueless about other animals. You really are. I never said I emulate carnivorous animals. I only emulate are own species which has been hunter gathers since before we were even homo-sapiens.

  8437. Yeah many people DO look at that situation in Newtown and think they would be better off if they had a gun. That's because people are IRRATIONAL and even if the statistics show that spree shooters are not stopped by random civilians with guns (and can make the situation far worse) it doesn't matter because people are IRRATIONAL and the idea of having a gun is psychologically soothing to these guys who watch way too many action movies and think everything can be solved by "shooting it".

If Europe didn't rape the rest of the world there would be no "US" nor any "Industrial Revolution". My ideology is to get rid of corruption in government, promote the democratic principles and equality that our founders believed in, and work towards the benefit of mankind not the selfishness of a few that worship Ayn Rand.

  8450. This guy uses a lot of scientific speak to voice nothing more than a opinionated guess. If you think this was modified in a lab, where is patient zero from that lab? It seems inconceivable that a virus would spread from a lab without first infecting the people working at that lab and their families. We've also had LOTS of viruses that jumped to humans and spread quickly that's pretty much how all pandemics work... Most arguments I've seen arguing that this originated in a lab are based purely on the happenstance that there was a lab studying coronaviruses in Wuhan and nothing more. Yes some people early on thought that it could have come from that lab. Then you know what happened? They tested that hypothesis and found it was unlikely. So it's not somehow a grand conspiracy that people stopped talking about the idea. Nor does it mean that Fauci and the scientici community is perpetrating some kind of conspiracy because they want to keep testing viruses in labs.

  8451. 03:05 I gave the exact criticism of you in 2016.... Every time something corrupt came up about Donald Trump you would immediately bring up the same two talking points about Clinton on healthcare and the Clinton Foundation giving the false impression that the corruption and criminality was somehow 50/50. You were doing it to try and sound unbiased but it had the effect of whitewashing all the early warming signs from Trump early on.

  8452. @luvcheney1 Have no idea what you're talking about... Who exactly is the "pourer" and the "gas" in that example? Greed and fraud on Wall St caused the collapse and the subsequent recession. This bubble had been known about for years. The people running these banks simply didn't care because it was making them billions of dollars. The Fed and the international Banks are basically one in the same, stupid. Do you actually think the federal government has any real oversight?

  8453. To be fair saying that there is a "class conflct" isn't the same as saying there is a problem with "income inequality". Although I say there is absolutely no logical reason that one man should be worth 1000 times another man... I don't care if you're a CEO or a janitor. We can't live in a society where "all men are created equal" while actively supporting an Oligarchy.

  8454.  willy Joll  Which "white hating racist liberals"? You're simply making something up to argue against out of insecurity. Otherwise you would point to a specific person, group, or incident, but you're not.... If all you do is repeat mindless propaganda to make yourself feel better about yourself, then all you'll be is weak minded.

  8455. ​ willy Joll  So are you claiming that it Is the responsibility of everyone in Congress to respond to every single bigoted statement someone makes in the country? Do you ask the same thing of Ted Cruz or Mitch McConnel? Or are you simply asking this of people like Ilhan Omar, because you want to feel better about yourself? That speaking out on behalf of thousands of Palestinians men, women, and children getting killed or having their limbs blown off with weapons that the US provides to Israel is somehow equivalent to someone saying something mean about "old white men"? Do yo understand why it's hard for people like me to take people like you seriously? Because it sounds like you just have a fragile ego you're trying to protect and that you're not really a serious person.

  8458. 1. Both of your comments completely prove my point... You believe your humanity is the center of the universe. It is obviously difficult for you to even comprehend that there are "values", "morals", and states of being completely outside of human existence as well as many types of "intelligence". There is nothing that says human intellegence or human morality is more "worthy" than any other outside of the worth you ascribe to it.

  8459. @ROBISDISTURBED Most christians come to their religion out of fear. Fear of themselves, fear the world, fear of the unknown, fear of "hell". When you come from a position of fear you will do the most vial things to others in order to feel better about yourself. Compare this to monks willing to set themselves on fire, starve themselves, or perform non-violent protests under the threat of injury or death. THAT is leading WITHOUT fear, and more by principle, morality, and true "fath".

  8460. 10:15 No one buys a Coca-Cola and knowing who created the formula.... John acts as if this is new. As if consumers haven't had a separation from the products they consume for a couple hundred years now. This has always been the problem with capitalism especially when it comes to workers. YouTube is one of the few places people can actually see the workers behind it.. At the same time no one has any clue about all the people behind the software and infrastructure that runs YouTube.

  8461.  @Jen-cc9xk  People are buying a label, millions of dollars of marketing, exclusivity deals which guarantee that Coke products are the only thing available for purchase at many places, and sugar water that is a known addictive substance because it triggers a dopamine response in the brain that is similar to any addictive drug. However my point was, just like with writers, consumers have no idea whether the creator or the thousands of people behind a product are being fairly compensated for it or not.

  8462. Ana is right on this one. John has always had an aversion to conflict. There's a difference between preaching to the choir all day from the comfort of your studio or home vs. testing those ideas in an actual debate. Telling an audience who already agrees with you what they want to hear might increase your following, but it does little to change hearts and minds.

  8463. Let's be clear... I'm not saying he should "set free". I have no idea what his condition, state of mind, or what would be best for him, the neighborhood, or people around him. My point is we have doctors and psychologists who's job it is to study and know these things. Making a snap judgment of a long prison sentence based on "something bad happening" is completely asinine in my mind. Because we all know that prison has a long track record of making neo nazis "less" violent right?...

  8464. 06:18 Kim, creating a phone and app store to compete with the iPhone or a cloud services platform to complete with Amazon is a near impossible task... 😂 You would have to spend like a hundred billion and be prepared to lose money for a decade in order to gain any traction in those areas. It's not like the government would subsidize that like they did with Tesla and SpaceX. It is much easier to simply buy a social media company in order to inflate your own sense of self importance. 😂

  8465. This is the first time I completely agree with Ana's irrational emotional arguments :-) If we can waste billions of dollars on military equipment the pentagon doesn't need we can waste some fixing our heros. Our money should have gone to the first responders, familiies of 911 victims, A COMPLETE investigation into the 911 events and a criminial investigation and prosecution of the hijackers. It should NOT have gone to a war were we spent 12 billion dollars a month killing countless civilians.

  8467. Does inequality, lack of mental health, etc. contribute to violence? YES Do the number of guns per capita contribute to the amount of shootings and homicides? YES Is it a good idea to make an effort to limit the ways in which an imbalanced person can kill a lot of people at once? YES We do this for machine guns, grenades, anthrax, nuclear material, etc. Figuring out the best balance between enjoyment and saving lives is just part of society.

  8468. The reasons why we need a proper investigation of 911: 1. 2 Wars for 10 years. 2. TSA 3. Homeland security 4. Rampant construction corruption in NY which may have been behind the collapse and loss of thousands of lives. 5. Habeas Corpus. 6. Wire Tapping 7. Torture

  8469. @GodAthie In principle I agree with you completely marriage should be about your church and civil unions about government. Keeping the government secular as it should be. However the fact is unless governments recognize civil unions as having the same rights as a marriage then it's a pointless.. At the end of the day I don't care if you call it a civil union, a marriage, or a ham sandwich it all boils down to rights and dignity.

  8470. No one ever said animals experience emotion. However their emotions and "morality" is fundamentally different from ours. Sure there are some mammals where we have a some things in common, but don't mistake having "some things in common" to being "exactly the same". Thinking that all creatures on the planet should follow "human morality" is nothing more than our own arrogance. If you think fish, insects, or lions, tigers, etc. are somehow "wrong" for their behavior. Then that is arrogance.

The NRA has brainwashed you fanatics into thinking that having better gun control means that people are going to come into your house and take your "precious".

  8474.  @sargentpilcher  --"Morally speaking it's wrong to eat animals" According to you, not according to most other animals on this planet who do in fact eat other animals. --"and animals certainly have property rights (All rights stem from property rights)" Nope, that's just something you made up... "Rights" are human constructs created within societies. You're not a god who can just decree what is a right, sorry. What you can and cannot do is dictated by the laws created within some kind of sociatel mechanism. With democratic mechanisms being the preferred kind. The fact that people made up "rights" and wrote them in a document and people agreed to those rights and followed them is nothing more than a human social contract. It has nothing to do with effing animals... You sound like a religious zealot who wants everyone to see the world like they do..
    1
  8475.  @sargentpilcher  --"it's the government who tells us what our rights are" And that government can be controlled by the people, corporations, or an authoritarian. It's our choice.... However if you think that just having no or little government is magically filled by "goodness" then you're just conveniently ignoring all the 3rd world countries in the world where society isn't magically safe, healthy, or moral for people without a government and regulations. You're just promoting a religion that you "believe" everyone around you will conform to with no basis for that belief.

  8476. I HATE cities with lots of toll roads. Freedom is being able to drive wherever you want to go. Freedom is NOT driving down the road constantly worried about runing out of cash before you get to where you need to go. Other than promoting your ideology at all cost you have to ask yourself WHY??? Do these roads cost less? Benefit the community more? Why do corporations need to profit from public land? If it wasn't for federal highways this country would be a completely different place.

  8477. Everyone seems to be having a knee jerk response simply because Huckabee is speaking in a religious context. I don't see why "religious speak" automaticaly has to get an emotional reaction from people who aren't religious. From the clips, in NO WAY did Huckabee imply that "God" wanted this to happen or caused it to happen. It's not like I agree with Huckabee (or on anything for that matter). However to misrepresent his position in order to go on an anti-religious tirade is disingenuous.

There are literally hundreds of things an athlete does for his or her own health that is entirely different than the rest of the public. And we've known for almost a year now that spreading the virus has absolutely nothing to do with vaccination status. Also, you should actually talk to some of these players instead of just playing clips and assuming what their psychology is...

  8481. Natural immunity wasn't just "Let everyone get covid". Natural immunity is was taking into consideration that people who had covid had some level of immunity to getting severe covid. Which is not much different different than vaccine immunity. Yes you can get covid multiple times, just like most people who got vaccinated also got covid. Many countries around the world took that into consideration.

  8483. @luvcheney1 Statistics ARE relavant. It's the difference between a FACT and an anecdotal claim. Guess what? You can find millions of working Irish, black, & asians as well. The fact that lots of people work is meaningless without a correlation. So you can't claim illegal immigrants are "more employed" as fact without stats to back it up. Since many move because of a job the employment rate for *legal* immigrants is usually better. Yet lately the rates have been nearly the same.

  8485. Dude... You think your reasons for impeachment are better, surprise surprise. Explaining the situation in Yemen to the average voter who doesn't care about Yemen, is a tough sell, sorry. It just is. You spent several minutes explaining what Trump may have done wrong in Yemen, whereas I can explain "pressuring a foreign country to investigate your political opponents" in an easy to understand sentence... Similarly explaining the complex financial deals that Trump has made without an actual conviction on any wrong doing is basically signaling to the average voter that you're attacking Trump because he is rich. Trump would LOVE that. Financial investigations take a long time.... They have to request documents, many of which will be held up by Trump's lawyers, then you have to allocate time to going over thousands of documents and complex financial matters. So if you're making that for the basis of an impeachment case you're essentially delaying the entire impeachment process. You pretend as if there is this vast conspiracy, but the reality is a lot of these investigations are already taking place, they are just taking a long time.

  8486. @megagagnon1 The healthcare bill started out as a good idea. Unfortunately it got so picked apart by special interests that literally spent millions in lobbying and propoganda. It ended up being something that even progressives turned against. It's hard to get any real change when money, influence completely control the debate and call anything that threatens our aristocracy as "socialism" or "against freedom". When you're fighting that, it's hard to have a real discussion about anything.

  8487. Really? Is it that surprising that the "religious right" would come up with stupid, meaningless issues in order to divided and win elections? Over there it is "what is Islamic?" over here it's "what is christian?"

  8489. @ggadguy "I'd like 1776 freedom and opportunity..." Who's freedom? Like I said there was no real "freedom" unless you were male, white, and protestant. You can believe that the past was somehow magical, but it wasn't. There was unfairness, inequality, and rights that you take for granted today gained through years of struggle. The US was the LAST western nation to abolish slavery because of our "freedom" and southern states requiring the Union to respect their "property laws"

  8493. @megagagnon1 1. Whatever else Eisenhower did doesn't relate to my point, that's what you call a "strawman" 2. Politicians have been on the boards, get lobbied by and hired as "political consultants" by corporations all the time. Corporations spend BILLIONS a year on lobbying. 3. Stockholders/employees have little say in what a corporation does. The masses don't dictate lobbying, policies, or express rights. This is completely opposite to unions. 4. The "natural force" is called democracy.

  8495. If we can look at a video and obviously see a crime (George Floyd and many others). We can also look at a video and obviously see a mistake... It doesn't mean the cop shouldn't pay for that mistake. Whether you were on the force for 28 years or not, you can still make a mistake or be incompetent at your job. I'm pretty sure Ana still makes mistakes after being with TYT for nearly 15 years. Also the fact that you were a cop for 28 years doesn't mean you were using that same equipment for 28 years.

It's a shame how the masses are so brainwashed by old Cold War politics and corporate marketing that they lose the ability to think freely.

I wouldn't want my kids to be "test robots" I would want them to be free thinkers and know how to follow their ideas.

  8498.  @lisakaz35  Your argument literally makes no sense. At what point did I talk about borders or entering countries? Also New Zealand made a common sense policy based on a world without a vaccine. The only way you could control the virus in 2020 was through contact tracing and quarantining. They wouldn't have needed to do those things if most of the population was immune to the virus.

  8499.  @lisakaz35  All you're doing is validating the point I just made were I said: "It seems that vaccine passports is more of a way to force more people to be vaccinated more than anything else.

Stereotyping and making generalizations is a trait that I'm sure you hate about conservatives and yet you're doing the same thing to people here. I'm a person not some archetype. You should keep that in mind when you're talking to people...

  8514. The fact is statistically gun owners are likely to get killed by guns. You're free to interprete that as "Everyone else is stupid except for me" However as I said before when you pull a gun on a total stranger there is a chance they will ALSO have a gun. Suddenly a stupid disagreement turns into a firefight because you both feel that your life is threatened. Since you encourage that behavior it may be just a matter of time before you turn into a statistic... More guns = More gun deaths.

  8515. Sometimes things happen Kyle... I can guarantee that more people died of cars or bathtubs in the same time period as these 2 people had died from scented spray... We can't always regulate every little thing in our society, creating regulations can also prevent small companies from ever getting started. Furthermore throwing "Hail Marys" at things and "seeing what happens" is exactly how people die in hospitals... What are you Joe Rogan all of a sudden? Should we give everyone sick in a hospital hydroxychloroquine too "just in case"? Hundreds of thousands of people literally die in hospitals because they are given the wrong medication and treatments, far more people than the "supplements" you want to regulate. Deaths from prescription drugs alone is far higher than deaths from dietary supplements.

People buying or working for a corporation are completely detached from everything that goes into that corporation's products and services. People have no clue that buying an Apple product might contribute to the "demise of the US" any more than they would realize that buying chocolate pudding or a t-shirt might contribute to buying off politicians to overlook GMO regulations or child labor in the philippines.

  8529.  @slickmcCool  Pretty sure that was an accident as she was trying to get around them. It looked like a tiny office. I don't know what "bigoted things" you're referring to. The fact that she didn't say a single thing about them being Muslim and thought they were were doing "magic" indicates that she assumed they were playing and had no idea what was going on in her office. It's not like she had tiktok subtitles to know what those kids were doing nor did they explain what they were doing at any point. Most Americans have never even seen a Muslim praying. It's amazing to me how easily people are ready to condemn random people based on little context.

  8530.  @slickmcCool  Yeah I'm saying that most Americans have never seen a Muslim praying. Especially in person. Just as if you were to go to a majority Muslim country, people wouldn't have much experience with Christians worshiping. Just like people don't have much experience with Shinto or Zoroastrianism. However if we can't even have a simple conversation before automatically judging and condemning a person then our society has become pretty messed up.

  8531.  @slickmcCool  Someone else commented that the school director had given them permission to use her office for prayer and she was told to leave them alone but she wouldn't. If that's the case then yeah she should be fired, but TYT really should have given that backstory.

It also doesn't change the fact that we have 4 TIMES more homicides. 3. I did answer you. Read my comments. 4. I never questioned the need for more background checks, or the idea that it could do some good. This entire discussion was about you ignoring the basic facts that the additional homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths are somehow not real.

  8541.  @Thepriestessdeath  Lots of people dance model and act. You pretend as if those are somehow unique qualities. 😂 I could randomly throw a stone in LA and hit someone most of the time who did those things. It sounds to me like you're desperately trying to find reasons to justify your obsession. Personally I have much more respect for people like Hedy Lamarr, who not only was completely realistic about using the frivolous obsession over her looks to get ahead, famously saying that any woman can look glamorous if they sit there and look dumb. But she also used her mind to try and invent things, like "frequency hopping" that she tried to get the Navy to use during WW2 to prevent the Germans from disabling our torpedoes. Which is a something we use today in things like Wi-Fi. FAR more interesting life than someone who slept their way into opportunities after a photographer thought she was hot one day.

We're used to people like you making up stories and exaggerations in order to justify shooting into a crowd... We've been dealing with that same bs for over 150 years in this country. I would have no problems with 300 Trump supporters walking past my house. In fact I would invite my friends over and get out some popcorn, because I'm sure it would be quite the spectacle. Sorry, but It has never once occurred to me to threaten violence against someone with different political beliefs. The only reason you think that way is because violence is something you fantasize about. You probably own weapons and constantly fetishize about using those weapons.

  8546.  John Smith  Looks like I was right... 😂 Like I sad, you make up stories about how dangerous everyone else is just so you can fantasize about killing people... Furthermore It is an absolute fact that the #1 source of domestic terrorism in this county comes from far right extremists. This has been the case for many years now. There is nothing to "gaslight", because these are basic facts. You're so intrenched in this mentality of violence and fear that you can't even think straight. The fact that you first reaction is to shoot into a crowd just because people are walking by told me everything I needed to know about you. --"You and the left want to kill us all.

Or blocking the bi-partisan Infrastructure bill until they can get an guarantee that the larger reconciliation bill will pass? AOC also funded and is currently funding many progressive candidates who wouldn't get into office without her help. And yes there is some horse trading involved with that where she can't exactly turn her back on the entire party. But instead of understanding that dynamic or suggesting ways of improving it, you would rather sit on your sanctimonious ass complaining all day. Because that is accomplishing SO much right? Tell me how has you sitting around and bitching passed progressive bills and raised people out of poverty? Maybe if Jimmy talked about other progressives twitter comments or Ana's underwear a little more we'll suddenly get Medicare for All right?

Incubation time is smaller, viral shedding is less, and the risk of symptomatic infection and hospitalization is reduced significantly, but it DOES NOT stop transmission from person to person. This is why John making these comments is dangerous... You are not safe from transmitting the virus if you are vaccinated. Repeat this to yourself 10 times.

  8567. You're not getting it... It has nothing to do with "per capita". It has to do with the known fact that denser populations are more prone to crime & violence than sparse populations.

A state with an average of 5 people per square mile is OF COURSE going to be far less violent than densely populated cities.

It is TAKING OVER government and insuring taxes go to the *benefit* of society. We get rid of money/lobby influences and pay attention to specific legislation not campaign lip service.

Right now Ana's words are being used as propaganda on Fox News' website. The reality is there was NEVER any movement on the left for trans participation in professional sports. This was a culture war issue created by the right and TYT fell right into the trap. Every year TYT has been getting more and more caught up in the right wing's culture war nonsense, instead of discussing issues in a nuanced and professional way. The way you do that is by bringing on trans people or subject matter experts on your show to discuss this issues. You don't just capitulate to right wing framing then say "this is what you should believe based on polling". Which is no different than what Pelosi or Clinton would do. Never mind the fact that it's not even a real issue since professional sports are up to private organizations. So why would anyone be so dumb as to pretend this is an election issue that people are running on?

  8578. The "Immunocompromised" are already first in line for vaccines and boosters. They have ALWAYS been first in line for vaccines and boosters. We also know that being vaccinated has nothing to do with the spread and transmission of the virus. That was the case under Delta and it's even more the case with Omicron. So, virtue signaling by suggesting that people who are against vaccine mandates don't care about the immunocompromised is just gross.
    1
  8579.  @SuperbowlJoel  The irony... You do realize that you're watching a video of a "rando on youtube" who has no medial background talking about the immunocompromised.
    1
  8580.  @user-ln9ui9yn3j  Immunocompromised can and have taken the vaccine. Just because your immune system is "compromised" doesn't mean vaccines don't work at all. In any case whether other people are vaccinated is completely irrelevant to the small percentage of immunocompromised. Furthermore, there is no study claiming that forcing people to get vaccinated protects immunocompromised people against contracting Covid. That was entirely made up.
    1
  8581.  @user-ln9ui9yn3j  I did not say "everyone can be vaccinated". So that is a lie. Again, regardless of their condition it is entirely unrelated to the vaccination status of other people. Studies clearly showed that vaccination doesn't not stop transmission, it only reduces symptoms. You can be completely asymptomatic and your viral load and ability to transmit the virus is the same as someone unvaccinated. The vaccine manufactures also never made claims about stopping transmission only reducing hospitalizations and deaths. However there has been a constant misinformation campaign for nearly a year now of people making up claims about vaccines stopping transmission and protecting the immunocompromised when that was never the case.

  8582.  @SuperbowlJoel  They are commentators on YouTube.. They look at the news and the talking points of right-wing pundits, and comment on it. They are not scientists, doctors, and it's obvious that they don't even keep up with weekly Covid studies otherwise they wouldn't repeat some of the same misinformation that people thought 9 months ago. If you deify personalities on YouTube, you will be led astray. Yes TYT tries to be accurate. That doesn't mean they are accurate all the time. Which is why it is up to their listeners to criticize them when they get things wrong. Just like anyone in the media orin politics. We are not supposed to be cult members or yes men. However there has been this weird echo chamber that's been going on for the past year or so and it's pretty disturbing.
    1
  8583.  @SuperbowlJoel  Because you implied, they were some kind of authority and immune to criticism. What else am I supposed to think when instead of responding to what I actually said you instead just appealed to the authority of TYT? I've watched TYT longer than most. I was watching Cenk since around 2005, met him in person, and I've been a member for over a decade. When I say "echo chamber" I'm referring to how TYT has changed over the past few years. Their entire existence now defined as being reactionary to right wing pundits. When you are completely defined by your enemy then you start becoming the very thing that you hate. Lately I've noticed an ongoing trend of sticking to a narrative no matter what, making gross overgeneralizations, and resorting to smears just to have an argument. They've started to abandon "nuance" when discussing anything and becoming just as unbearable as watching Fox News.

However Trump just streamlined the process. Obama also worked on streamlining the process in 2012. Essentially all this executive order does is allow data sharing to take place so that disabled veterans are automatically enrolled in this forgiveness instead of having to apply manually. However Trump is spinning it as if it's some kind of new program so that he can distract the media from other issues and Kyle is eating it up.

  8588.  @conjureup6723  Both of which have absolutely nothing to do with the influx of unaccompanied minors.... A federal court ruled in November 2020 that the Trump administration could no longer expelled unaccompanied minors. That is why we had an influx in unaccompanied minors which started last December and continued over the next few months. So when you and Trump claim that all the children we started getting at the border was because of a Biden policy change you're basically lying.
    1
  8589.  @conjureup6723  Title 42 was a Covid policy. specifically created to address the Covid 19 pandemic. It was struck down by Federal courts for migrant children because children hadn't been shown to transmit the disease. Which is why courts deemed it illegal. This is the same as it was towards the end of the Trump administration and the situation hasn't changed under the Biden administration. In other words it is the same policy. Are you saying you want the Biden administration to lie about Covid and pretend that children are carrying the disease just so we can prevent children from coming? Because I'm pretty sure lying about Covid isn't a real immigration policy. You can't pretend that Covid is going away, but then turn around and pretend it's a problem at the border.
    1
  8590.  @conjureup6723  Again, the policy was changed based on that ruling in November of 2020 So when you say it was "brought into effect by Biden", you're basically lying. It was in effect before Biden was even inaugurated. Furthermore in April of 2020 there were 741 unaccompanied minors and that rose to 4992 in October of 2020. So what policy did Trump change to raise the unaccompanied minors by more than 5 times? Because apparently you seem convinced that any spike in unaccompanied children is due to a policy change and not a circumstance.
    1
  8591.  @conjureup6723  Incorrect... Trump did not openly defy the order to stop Title 42 expulsions for children. There were some expulsions in November and December after the order, but that was because some officials weren't yet aware of the ruling. You're pretending as if Trump decided to openly do something illegal and that is not the case. Regardless... migrants were aware of the ruling which is why they started sending their kids more often. That along with a natural disaster is why we suddenly got a lot of unaccompanied children and yes I'm sure some thought Biden would be better for them on immigration than Trump. Furthermore you never answered my question on how unaccompanied children went from 741 in April of 2020 to Nearly 5,000 in October 2020. Based on your claim it all has to do with a policy change. So tell me what did Trump change to cause an over 500% increase in unaccompanied minors?
    1
  8592.  @conjureup6723  Sorry, but court order do have to be followed. Here's a copy and paste from articles since apparently that's what you like: --"Jeffrey Lynch, a deputy assistant director at ICE, told the court in December that ICE personnel on the ground handed the children over to Guatemalan officials within 15 minutes of landing during a period when they did not know about Sullivan's order. Lynch added that ICE officials weren’t aware of the order until nearly 15 minutes after the children had been handed over. " --"Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott said in a court filing Saturday that his agents had encountered more than 3,700 unaccompanied children from November 18 to December 10 who were processed in compliance with the court order and resulting agency guidance. But 26 children — ages 14 to 17 years old and mostly arriving in the Rio Grande Valley — had also been expelled. Nine of the children later tried to reenter and were processed in accordance with the court *order*." So in other words officials under Trump were trying to comply with the court order and you sat here trying to pretend that they weren't, based on a comment from a law professor. Please stop resorting to ad hominems, these are things you made up, not me. It's also interesting how Covid can be used as excuse for Trump's surge in unaccompanied minors, yet somehow Covid and other natural disasters is not considered when it comes to Biden. Gee why is that?

  8593.  @conjureup6723  You literally could have found the sources in two seconds... The quotes come from CBS News, Vox, Buzzfeed news, and the ACLU who originally file the lawsuit. I have not hurled a single insult at you dude. Stop feigning outrage. You did make up the idea of Trump ignoring the court order and you had no evidence to back up that claim. You just assumed Trump did... However I provided you two different statements from immigration officials clearly showing they were following it. It also doesn't change what your border agent said because it was at the very end of Trump's term. Again it was a policy that started when Trump was in office. You speculate on Covid effecting migrants without providing any evidence for that while at the same time completely ignoring the hurricanes and landslides that hit Guatemala and Honduras that effected 7.3 million people. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became homeless in December. Which most certainly led to a spike in migrants at the beginning of the year.
    1
  8594.  @conjureup6723  So you're going to pretend that Rodney Scott lied in court documents about following the court order? Or Jeffrey Lynch's statements that ICE was following the court order? Your argument fell apart and now you're trying to play a game of "your sources don't matter". Sorry, I don't fall for that BS. I have given you statements from actual Trump officials that they were following the change in Title 42 policy and you have absolutely no evidence refuting it. All you have are statements saying that Biden continued the policy which is something we already knew. And once again you're making things up. I never called you a "liar". I called your statement a "lie". Just because a word has a definition doesn't mean it's not an ad hominem, LOL.. Calling someone "willfully ignorant" is in fact an ad hominem. Perhaps you should look up the definition.
    1
  8595.  @conjureup6723  Again... I never called you a "liar" stop making up strawman to argue against. Again... calling statements that you've made a "lie" is not a personal attack. Again... Calling me "willfully ignorant" is a personal attack. It is also incorrect since I was right on the facts and you were wrong. Border patrol agents expelled 13,000 unaccompanied children sine Title 42 was enacted. That dropped down to 67 in the month following the court order. So from a couple thousands of kids a month to 67 that were said to be a mistake. Clearly most border agents were following the order. Not "some" as you are making up. Again the head of the CPB and an ICE department official both confirmed that they were following the court order. Again, this policy change was put into effect before Biden was inaugurated. Again, there were hurricanes and landslides in central America that effected 7.3 millions people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. This OF COURSE led to a spike in migrants. And yes I'm sure some also came because they thought Biden might be more humane than Trump.
    1
  8596.  @conjureup6723  So you claim "covid" with no evidence, but I cannot claim the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from hurricanes and floods? It's interesting how your selective logic works. If the logic works for you it doesn't require evidence, but if it doesn't then no amount of citations are enough. LOTS of evidence is available if you bothered to check: From Rueters in regards to the hurricanes: --"Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei said last month Central America had been the worst affected region in the world by climate change and it would need help from them to stave off mass migration." From a Vox Article entitled: --"Migrants are heading north because Central America never recovered from last year’s hurricanes" NY Times Article just after the hurricanes: "2 Hurricanes Devastated Central America.

  8597. @luckyStrike89ru Buriel at sea is not a normal islamic practice. That was propoganda by our government for the sake of the international community. The reality was that they were given orders to kill him on sight. The execution, buriel at sea, were all pre planned. So basically your reasoning comes down to "he was bad guy". In case you didn't know we have trials of bad guys all the time.

  8600.  @HappySessionsMusic  The criticism here is the fact that people thinks she laughs funny. Sorry, but that isn't something worth "defending" unless you're an effing child. You really need to start taking politics and policy seriously, because these "criticisms" make you look like a joke.

  8601. Anyone who uses the term "deep state" needs their head examined. It's nothing more than a vague term to project any nefarious scheme you make up. People throw it around like it's a real thing having no idea what they are talking about.

  8602.  @bajanworldstar5636  I'm well aware of the military industrial complex. Which is based on a specific incentive structure that is well documented. Donald Trump was impeached because he secretly withheld military aid from Ukraine in order to pressure the government into doing a fake investigation into Biden. He wanted Zelensky to announce this fake investigation on CNN during an interview with Fareed Zakaria. He literally had Giuliani in Ukraine trying to coordinate this fake investigation. I suppose you think Nixon's involvement with Watergate was just "asking a question" too huh? Don't be daft and stop blindly supporting obvious crooks. If you don't understand what happened or lack the intellectual curiosity to spend 5 minutes looking into a topic. Then don't comment on it.
    1
  8603.  @bajanworldstar5636  Of course I'm aware but unlike you I looked into it beyond just a surface level. Bursima is a "holding company", in other words a company that owns other companies. It's basically a financial entity, they are not drilling oil. 😂This is something that Hunter had experience in because he created multiple holding companies in the past. Was being Biden's son a factor? Of course, nepotism pretty much runs the world. Just like Trump's kids had no business being White House advisors. And Kushner was too shady to get security clearance until daddy Trump stepped in. I suggest you look into the prosecutor Victor Shokin. He was known to be a corrupt prosecutor. You can find numerous articles wrtten back then where The IMF, World Bank, and most of the world wanted that prosecutor fired because he WAS NOT investigating Burisma and other corruption by Russian oligarchs. There were literally protests against him and his own deputy prosecutor complained about him slow walking investigations. THAT is why Biden openly bragging about helping to get rid of him (Which was an exaggeration and not actually true), because it was official US policy. It wasn't some fake investigation run by a personal lawyer trying to dig up dirt on an opponent before an election. Stop blindly following the cooperate media narrative that is handed to you. You think you're informed by listening to TV pundits lying to you, but you're actually not, you're just a drone following the conservative narrative.
    1
  8604.  @bajanworldstar5636  Classic projection. It's hilarious how all of your information comes from Trump and TV pundits yet you somehow think it's accurate. 😂 Look at the article written by an Irish paper entitled "EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin". It has nothing to do with "Democrats", nor this country, let alone a single politician's son. Again, Viktor Shokin was fired because he WAS NOT investigating Burisma. Try reading instead of just parroting what you were told. Burisma was only investigated AFTER that prosecutor was fired. Sorry, but Biden didn't single handedly tell the EU, IMF, World Bank, etc. that Viktor Shokin was corrupt. Nor did Biden get Ukrainians to protest parliament over that prosecutor's corruption. Your talking points come directly from conservative corporate media. Just because it isn't CNN doesn't mean it isn't a corporation trying to make a buck off of sensationalism and disinformation. The reality is Trump tried to use Biden's messed up son to implicate Biden so he could win in 2020. You people have been on auto-pilot ever since repeating the same propaganda over and over without actually researching it.
    1
  8605.  @bajanworldstar5636  Huh? 🤔 You either have comprehension issues or you're pretending to. Again.... Viktor Shokin was voted out because he was refusing to investigate corruption* including Burisma. He was stonewalling the investigation into Bursima. In fact the UK started an inquiry and he refused to hand over documents. The investigation into Burisma didn't take place until AFTER he was fired. Do you understand what "after" means? I know that is contrary to the lies you've been fed over and over, but it's a documented fact. You can easily look up the contraversy around Viktor Shokin yourself. But you guys seem to not care about researching anything, all you care about is the latest conspiracy theory as well as Trump making you laugh and feel good. If Biden didn't want Burisma investigated he would have simply left Viktor Shokin alone.
    1
  8606.  @bajanworldstar5636  What "charges" are you talking about exactly? Charges that occurred before there was even an investigation? wtf are you talking about dude?... 😂 The reason why the EU, IMF, World Bank, and the US were involved was because they were loaning money to Ukraine. All of these countries and banks were concerned about giving money to Ukraine when corruption was running rampant. Again, you could answer your own questions by doing some research. Biden's son being investigated is something you and other MAGA drones, just made up. Burisma being investigated had absolutely nothing to do with Hunter Biden. It's not illegal to accept a cushy job. Otherwise all of Trump's kids would be in jail. Bursima was being investigated because the Russian Oligarch who owned Burisma was being investigated. Try reading something that wasn't fed to you by Trump or one of his lackeys for a change.
    1
  8607.  @bajanworldstar5636  Apparently you never considered that the corrupt prosecutor that was disgraced would ever lie to save face. I suppose you think Trump is telling you the truth about the election being stolen too huh? 😂 I already told you several times the EU, World Bank, IMF, US, EU didn't want to give Ukraine money while there was rampant corruption. All of these players wanted Viktor Shokin removed because he was corrupt and stopping Ukraine's efforts to root out corruption. Again, there were protests against the guy. Have you STILL not spent any time looking into this prosecutor? Are you so attached to confirming your own beliefs that you refuse to do BASIC research? Seriously? You would rather stay ignorant and have people like Trump tell you how to think than spend 10 minutes reading articles from 2016? If you read those articles you would see that both Republicans and Democrats were in favor of it, before it became politicized by Trump.
    1
  8608.  @bajanworldstar5636  You're so brainwashed that you can't even be bothered to read any articles from 2015/16 that talk about the situation with Burisma. Wow... Hunter Biden was never mentioned until 2020 when Trump & Gulianni decided to make up a story about it and pressure the president of Ukraine into creating an "investigation" just in time for the election. The fact that you don't realize that is pretty pathetic. Viktor Shokin was voted out in march of 2016. A LONG TIME AGO... Trump only used that when he needed dirt to win an election in 2020. I seriously cannot believe that people are this gullible. All you've done is mindlessly parroted talking points from Trump's campaign over and over. While I've explained the actual details of the situation. You seriously don't know the difference between reality and campaign slogans.
    1
  8609.  @bajanworldstar5636  Again.... Burisma and it's owner was being investigated not Hunter. Just because Coca Cola is being investigated doesn't mean every single employee working for Coca Cola is also being investigated. Do you not get that? AGAIN... the investigation into Burisma happened AFTER Viktor Shokin was fired because he was stonewalling the investigation. You can look at the timeline of the Burisma investigation yourself. It is well documented that almost all of it happened after Viktor Shokin left. If an investigation into Burisma took place and there were several charges of corruption, then what exactly was Trump asking from the Ukrainian president 4 years later? Have you ever even asked yourself that? Nothing Trump said was anything that wasn't already known in 2016. It just magically became more convenient in 2020.
    1
  8610.  @bajanworldstar5636  Multiple Ukrainian officials and prosecutors have stated over and over that there was no connection. In fact the former prosecutor (Yuri Lutsenko) already stated in 2019 that Hunter Biden "did not violate anything". However that didn't stop Trump from lying about it or people like you mindlessly believing a con man. How long are you going to just pretend there was a crime based on nothing more than the word of a lying politician? I would never believe any politician blindly, yet you people do it every day.
    1
  8611.  @bajanworldstar5636  The entire Hunter Biden conspiracy came from Trump & Gulianni. The fact you don't know that, just means you're uninformed. Again, Burisima didn't get "charged" or investigated until the prosecutor was replaced. You have trouble listening. The Russian Oligarch's assets getting siezed was not related to Burisma investigation that took place after Viktor Shokin was fired. What "charges" are you even talking about dude? 😂 Again, the prosecutor who investigated Burisma has said multiple times that nothing was related to Hunter Biden. Lying over and over about "charges" against Hunter doesn't make it real. You're no different than Trump, lying about criminal behavior with zero evidence for it.
    1
  8612.  @bajanworldstar5636  No actually I'm just refuting a guy lying about "charges" over and over.. 1. That is common knowledge, so what? 2. Again, you're lying about "charges". There were never charges against either Hunter or Burisma at the time that Viktor Shokin was fired. The fact that you keep lying about that over and over is pathological. I'm not defending anything against Hunter Biden, because there's literally nothing to defend. If you think the prosecutor who investigated Burisma is lying that Hunter Biden "did nothing wrong", then I'm sorry, you're just a crazy person. I can't convince an irrational person that their imaginary "charges" (that you won't even specify) was never anything more than re-election tactic by Trump. You're so invested in a narrative that it's become part of your identity/religion. Even though you have zero evidence for it.
    1
  8613.  @bajanworldstar5636  And?.... How is being employed a crime exactly? So in your mind everyone hired at Burisma was a criminal? What are you even talking about dude? 😂 Making up that a crime happened and not even being able to articulate what that crime was exactly is what I would expect from a MAGA drone... All you guys want to do is chant "lock her/him up" without any rhyme or reason. The fact is you were lied to by a con man trying to create a scandal for his political opponent so he could get re-elected. He also went to the Australian government and Chinese government trying to do same thing with Elizabeth Warren. Yeah I'm sure a retired Ukrainian prosecutor really cares about winning favors from Biden when he was investigating Burisma in 2016 through 2019 while Trump was president.... You sound crazy dude.
    1
  8614.  @bajanworldstar5636  Sadly your tactic now is to just lie over and over: 1. It is a lie that Biden had anything to do with the appointment of the prosecutor who replaced Viktor Shokin. You have no evidence for that, you made it up. 2. It is also a lie that Biden single handedly got rid of Viktor Shokin. The US, EU, World Bank, and IMF were all pressuring Ukraine to get rid of him. 3. It is also a lie that Viktor Shokin was doing a "great job". There were protests against him and he was also accused of "shaking down" wealthy businessman for leniency. His own chauffer was caught with diamonds that came from one of his cases. 4. The deputy prosecutor working under Shokin, said the Burisma case had been dormant at the time the U.S. was pushing for Shokin's removal. He also accused Shokin of stonewalling corruption cases. 5. There was never any crime that Hunter Biden was accused of or ever charged with relating to Burisma. That is also a lie. Like I sad, you're so attached to this narrative that you're willing to lie in order to support it. I'm not going to sit here and let you lie to my face over and over like Trump does.

  8615.  @bajanworldstar5636  A lie is asserting something true that is actually false. Something you clearly don't understand. You think that just because you want something to be true makes it true. Sorry, that's not how it works. 😂 Constant "magical thinking" is how people like you get fooled by con men. 1. Again you have no evidence of anyone being "Biden friendly". You're making it up. 2. Again, many countries and entities were pressuring to remove Shokin. It was also official US policy. it was never Biden acting on his own singlehandedly. 3. Lying and making up conspiracies. It is well documented that Shokin had low approval because he was thought to be corrupt. You can find many articles written in Ukraine and around the world describing him and his scandals. The fact that you felt the need to lie about someone being "good at his job" with ZERO evidence for that, tells me everything about your character. 4. Someone who actually worked in the prosecutor's office on Burisma. During and after Shokin left, knows about the investigation on Burisma. It's not "hearsay" it was his job. 😂 Also the fact that most of your arguments are based on hearsay, makes you a hypocrite. Everyone else needs evidence but you don't right? 😂 5. You repeatedly said Hunter was "charged" and that Burisma was "charged" and that those "charges" were withdrawn because of Biden. You can't even keep up with your lies, can you? 🤣

  8616.  @bajanworldstar5636  I wouldn't need to bring up Trump if you weren't repeating the lies he told during his 2020 campaign. I would LOVE to never talk about Trump again, but unfortunately there are drones like you who blindly believed nonsense about Burisma and Hunter Biden, election being stolen, Antifa on Jan 6, and all kinds of lies that came out of Trump's mouth. So unfortunately we have no choice but to talk about Trump as long as people like you still believe the idiotic lies he told you.
    1
  8617.  @bajanworldstar5636  Like most politicians, Biden was exaggerating and trying to look tough in front of an audience. Look at the article entitled: "Correcting a media error: Biden’s Ukraine showdown was in December 2015" In other words it didn't happen the way Biden claimed it did. Biden has lied and exaggerated numerous times in the past. Again, removing Shokin was OFFICIAL US POLICY... Both Democrats and Republicans were in favor of it. It's not like Biden was secretly acting alone. It was the entire State Dept, along with the EU, IMF, and World Bank. They ALL wanted Shokin removed as part of reforming corruption in Ukraine before giving them money. Especially after Shokin undermined the UK investigation into Zlochevsky in 2014 and was involved in scandals. Why do you think Biden was bragging about it to begin with? Do you honestly think he was bragging about covering up crimes in front of an audience? 😂
    1
  8618.  @bajanworldstar5636  Oh god, the conspiracy get's bigger now. Apparently the entire world wanted to specifically protect Hunter Biden from facing consequences for an "unknown crime" for "reasons" 😂 lmao, I didn't realize that Hunter Biden was so powerful that he could mobilize world governments to do him a solid. 😂 The simple explanation is that Zlochevsky probably hired Hunter because he thought it would be a good idea to have a US VP's son on the board, because that's how corrupt rich people think. Hunter likely knew that yet was shameless enough to want to use his name to cash in as much as possible. However none of that protected Zlochevsky from various criminal investigations. He ran and is reportedly hiding in Monaco somewhere.
    1
  8619.  @bajanworldstar5636  sure because he offered a bribe that was turned down in 2020. It means he bribed all the world leaders right? 😂. What you should be asking yourself is if the current investigation team turned down his bribe, then why wouldn't he have bribed Viktor Shokin? If you think the current investigation team is corrupt why would they have turned down his bribe? But don't let logic stop you or anything 😂
    1
  8620.  @bajanworldstar5636  LMAO... 🤣🤣 Sure because that's how parent/child relationships work. The Vice President of the United State is apparently broke and he asks his son to float him some cash, lol. 😂 I can't tell if you're pathological or just have an over active imagination. I suspect it's a bit of both Because I'm sure that's what your parents did too right? As soon as you became an adult they tried to figure out ways you could float them some extra cash from your jobs? 😂 I'm amazed people can believe something so dumb. There are a myriad of ways that people in the white house can make lots of money. For example, Jared and Ivanka literally made a few hundred million just from being in the white house. The Clinton's also made hundreds of millions after leaving the white house from their connections. People taking their children's salaries is not one of those ways, sorry. 😂 Never mind the fact that it is a pretty easy paper trail.

  8621.  @makelvin  Creating a public option that people can buy into is not Medicare for All. Please stop lying to people. A "public option" is the exact same plan that Obama proposed over a decade ago. It is NOT Medicare For All. The reason why Bernie Sanders came up with Medicare For All is to expand the current system of Medicare, which is paid through taxes and is free at the point of service, TO ALL. Medicare is not a public option. So quit your BS already.
    1
  8622.  @makelvin  You are lying because he specifically says he will lower the age requirement which is not the same as having Medicare for ALL PEOPLE. Bernie Sanders is expanding medicare and having it apply to ALL PEOPLE. Which is exactly what MEDICARE FOR ALL is. Some vague notion about lowering the age requirement for Medicare does not help a family know if they can survive a cancer diagnosis or or a trip to the emergency room in the next 5 years. Do you not get that?!
    1
  8623.  @makelvin  1. He never said he would lower the age to zero. Stop making misleading statements. In fact he's not giving any specifics on ages or timelines. Which is very troubling. 2. Sander's plan isn't completely different than Medicare. It's paid through taxes and is free at the point of service. It's not different than Medicare except expanded to include everyone in the country and provide a few additional benefits. So again, stop lying. You're trying to play semantic games in order to get to the conclusion you want. It's rather disingenuous.
    1
  8624.  @makelvin  1. I've already stated several times now that Bernie's bill prevents insurance from covering what you are already getting under Medicare. Sorry, but you're not fooling anyone by reposting the facts that I've already stated. 2. Yang stated that he isn't providing Medicare For All. Only the "spirit" of it and yet you're sitting there lying about it. 3. Bernie has also stated that health insurance as we know it today will effectively be obsolete, and as you saw for yourself his bill DOES NOT ban health insurance only duplicating coverage. 4. Your argument is as silly as saying that the US military isn't the US military if state militias are banned or made obsolete. It's a not a real argument. So now your argument is about getting M4A passed? Gee... how many congress people have endorsed M4A compared to a UBI?... 😂 Has anyone even endorsed the "spirit" of a UBI? 🤣 Your arguments are just one stretch after another, completely absurd.
    1
  8625.  @makelvin  I specifically mentioned "cosmetic surgery" as an example when I brought up the bill. So stop lying about what I left out. You're not fooling anyone with these games. The whole point of Medicare is to provide comprehensive health coverage, by definition that would include everything that is "medically necessary". Leaving everything else to other companies and insurers. It's the same reason why you can have private security but not private vigilantes. --"which means he his implementing the Medicare for All that is different from Bernie;" You're completely making that up. All of your other assertions about "lowering the age to zero" are also made up. What exactly do you hope to accomplish by simply making up what Yang's position is? Yang has no plan to offer single payer health coverage (Medicare) to everyone in the country. Period. Do you understand the idea of starting with a strong position and then compromising, vs starting with a weak position and then compromising? This is negotiation 101, which is what the Obama administration failed at with the ACA. I also noticed you conveniently ignored my point about the UBI as well... Hmmm.....
    1
  8626.  @makelvin  "not medically necessary" is not the same as "non-health related". You are once again changing facts to purposely mislead.... You've done this over and over. You cannot change facts to suit your argument, sorry. Vigilantism overlaps what police do which is why it is illegal. That was the point I was making. --"I was proposing the keep lowering the age can get to a point where everyone can get into the Medicare program." Which is nothing that Yang ever proposed. Hence you made it up. Not sure what you're arguing here.... You made up something that has nothing to do with Yang's actual position. --"You on the other hand immediately accused Yang as lying " No, I accused you of lying about Yang's position. Whereas Yang is clearly backing away from his support of M4A. --"These are all slightly different in the spirit of UBI." My point was that it is entirely hypocritical of you to believe that M4A will never pass when the bill already has over a hundred co-sponsors compared to the ZERO congressmen who have voiced support of a UBI.
    1
  8627.  @makelvin  --"police does not exclude private security at all" That's the point I was making Genius....😂 --" expanding the current Medicare system to make it more accessible." Which is NOT the same as expanding it to "everyone" is it?.... --"So I am not lying" You are clearly changing Yang's actual proposal to suit your argument. Which to me is lying. --"Could you please give a clear example of "not medically necessary"" Acupuncture, chiropractic care, various forms of holistic medicine, experimental treatments, yoga, lasik eye surgery. I also gave the example of flying to a specialist in Zurich. There are tons of things that are health related but not considered "medically necessary"..
    1
  8628.  @makelvin  Okay so two people supporting a UBI vs over a hundred that have actually cosponsored Bernie's bill. That doesn't make your point any less hypocritical. --"You keep on trying to hold Yang's short conversation as some sort of his Gospel" He's given multiple interviews on the topic and he's published a plan that doesn't include any support for medicare for all. In his recent interviews he's even mentioned that people will have to make some kind of co-payment or "Skln in the game" when they get hospital care. Which is completely different than being free at the point of service which is an essential part of Medicare. You can try and twist Yang's position as much as you want but it's clear he's not for Medicare for all. I was saying that YOU pretending that Yang supports M4A is a lie lol 🤣
    1
  8629.  @makelvin  --"To me that could definitely mean for everyone at some point" Sorry, but your interpretation of what "something could mean" is not Yang's actual position, nor part of his plan. If you rely on wishful thinking of what a politician might do you're in for a long life of disappointment Just ask many of the people who voted for Trump, or even Obama for that matter. --"Both Chiropractic care and Lasik can be covered by the current Medicare Plan B" Which requires a monthly premium for most people. Someone can pay for a plan B or another plan. Which is my point. Same with all other forms of healthcare that are not deemed "medically necessary". --"As for UBI support, there are definitely more than 2" But far less than 120 which makes your argument against M4A rather hypocritical. Can you not see that? Alaska's yearly dividend is based on oil/resource profits is not a UBI. Alaska still relies on federal welfare and entitlements just like any other state despite the "bonus" that people get at the end of the year. A true UBI has not been implemented anywhere however there are many examples of various forms of single payer systems all over the world. Furthermore the politics of 2009 isn't the same as the politics of 2019. There are literally hundreds of things throughout history that were difficult to pass one year but became easier in later on (gay marriage, marijuana legalization, etc.). The fact that M4A is now a hot issue is a GOOD thing.
    1
  8630.  @makelvin  Don't care who "considers" it a UBI it isn't one. It is not a monthly income that people live on replacing all other safety nets that Yang is proposing. You pretended to care about actual policy details before. What happened? Apparently you only care about specifics when it comes to MFA and Bernie. --"I am not concern about my current healthcare situation at all" Unfortunately the tens of thousands who die each year and the millions of people without coverage are not so lucky. They don't have the privilege of just being okay with making silly arguments on YouTube. Again if you don't understand how the politics of slavery, women's suffrage, civil rights, gay rights, cannabis laws, labor laws, minimum wage, etc have changed over time then you don't know the first thing about the political history of this country and you're just making up arguments as you go along. You like Yang, I get it. Stop pretending you're making logical arguments when you're not.
    1
  8631.  @makelvin  --"nowhere does it defines UBI must be paid on a monthly basis." Yang does. He specifically defines it as a monthly income people can live on and replace safety nets. Even in your own link you conveniently neglected this part: " Automatic: Someone's basic income would be automatically paid weekly or monthly into a bank account or similar." Again, you pretended to care about policy details and now you don't.. The Alaska dividend is not an income that anyone can rely on for rent and the amount fluctuates each year. Yang's policy hasn't been implemented anywhere by any country at any point. --"Because I don't have a real need for the healthcare situation; I am less likely to see it with a biased lens". Sure just like people who buy off politicians and are completely separated from the needs of the working class are SO unbiased right?... Sorry but you are not somehow more informed on an issue that you have absolutely no stake in. I think I'll trust the Nurses Union over your uninformed opinion. --"I just don't think he think things through enough about how realistic something is." Bernie Sanders is the only one with an actual detailed bill. Whereas you're relying on nothing but platitudes. So please spare me with your fake assertions on being practical when all you're doing is interpreting Yang's good intentions and "spirit" of M4A. 😂 I'll listen to someone who has an actual plan not someone like you who is indifferent to the tens of thousands who die each year because "you've got yours" and don't need to worry about it.
    1
  8632.  @makelvin  Again, nowhere has Yang's UBI been implemented anywhere in the world. Again, Alaska's dividend is not anywhere close to what Yang wants to do and is not an example of Yang's UBI. These are facts. --"You are confusing with details with thoughtfulness." Someone who has spent decades thinking out a detailed plan for the country is indeed being thoughtful even if people like you are unable to see it because you simply don't care, are uninformed, and have no stake in the issue. --" I kept saying Yang is implementing the actual existing Medicare are making it available to all." Again, your beliefs and wishful thinking is not reality. --"The rest of Yang detail healthcare plan is about reducing the root cause of driving up the healthcare cost" M4A will reduce over 5 trillion in costs over 10 years by getting rid of huge administrative costs of insurance companies. Not to mention giving more leverage to negotiate all costs in the system, not just drug prices. All other plans that rely on leaving the insurance infrastructure in place will actually increase costs over M4A. You're confusing details with generic surface level statements that have NO DETAILS. You think Yang is being thoughtful, but he's actually not. He's saying the same vague crap on reducing costs that politicians have said for decades. Obama literally made similar statements during his campaign. First off I care more about thousands of LIVES over thousands of jobs. Sorry, but I'm not going to let someone's family member die to save a job at an insurance company. Second, the #1 cause of bankruptcy in this country is medical debt. You literally have 1-2 million people who are impacted by medical bankruptcy each year. Third, it is harder for small businesses to compete with large businesses because of health insurance costs. They don't have the numbers to get the same plans that large businesses have. M4A gives more freedom to the economic engine of small businesses This is just a few of the many things you're entirely ignorant about because you "don't have to worry" about your healthcare....

Implying that "tax rates don't matter" and they changed for no reason is absurd. 2. It's irrelevant to the context of the coversation. Japan has courts & property laws just like we do. Those things alone don't mitigate disasters.

  8643. I agree with Briahna on most issues, but totally agree with Robbie on this one. Protective measures, for most people, should only be used up until vaccines were widely available. Unless you have specific health vulnerabilities it makes no logical sense to keep isolating and wearing masks. The arguments really make no sense logically: 1. "You can still get sick if you're vaccinated." Okay, but vaccine effectiveness wains over time so you're only making yourself more vulnerable the longer you isolate yourself. 2. "It is possible to contract Covid more than once." Okay, but that is rare and just like with vaccines, natural immunity also wains over time so you're only making yourself more vulnerable the longer you isolate yourself. The data clearly shows that subsequent infections, in most cases, are extremely mild compared to the first infection. 3. "Herd immunity doesn't seem to be a sure thing." Which means that the virus is never going to go away. It's going to constantly circulate within human and animal populations. And just like with vaccination and natural immunity the longer you prolong contracting it the older you will be, so you're only increasing your level of risk by prolonging your contact with people.

Over and Over I see people brainwashed by false narratives and stereotypes that poor people are poor because they are "lazy", "stupid", and they need "tough love". We shouldn't be a country that "races to the bottom". There are many many countries with millions living in poverty, with little education, and doing back breaking hard labor merely to support a handful of wealthy individuals. Those are what we call THIRD WORLD NATIONS.

Without NASA & the "space age" we wouldn't have MANY technologies fueling businesses today. (satallites, internet, GPS, jet travel, etc.). Solyndra failed because of CHINA's investments in green energy & trade policies.

  8658.  @HighmageDerin  Cause it worked in those cases... You being angry and energetic doesn't magically mean "stuff will get done" or problems will get solved through violence. There have been many violent uprisings in this country you don't hear about them because they failed.... Don't be a Shays Rebellion, don't be a Confederate, don't be a moron. How do you think women got the right to vote when they couldn't vote in the first place? How do you think black people got a president to sign civil rights legislation when they had no power? "People power" means that there is always going to be more of "us" than "them". As long as you have the masses on your side you can win regardless of how corrupt things are. Going around hurting people, buildings, or turn into a terrorist loses the popular sentiment no matter how just your cause is. Do you know why Al Qaeda attacked the twin towers? Of course you don't, because their message was completely lost in the violence they inflicted. Same with Anti-fa, just a few people throwing punches caused the entire message to get lost. Don't be a moron. Violence is what they love, because they can use it to do whatever they want, like invading Iraq.

  8659.  @HighmageDerin  Yes looking at history to things that worked vs didn't is generally a pretty good idea... --" But forget to mention those are also during times when our government was not bought and paid for by a few rich people!" You seem to be under the false impression that this country didn't always have corruptions and influence from the rich. 😂 Take a look at the term "robber barons", the creation of the fed, "economic royalists", etc. Again, most movements never get anywhere through violence and you would have to be a complete moron for believing otherwise. Where is the Weather Underground today? The IRA? Th Black Panthers? There is a reason why they died out and why people like MLK succeeded. This is why we have statues of MLK everywhere and not of Malcom X. Violence never changes people's minds, it only causes them to fight back and ignore your message. There is a whole military industrial complex and police industrial complex who would LOVE nothing more than for people like you to do violence so that weapons manufacturers and private prisons can get filthy rich off your idiocy. Just like they did with Al Qaeda. Sorry, but having real beliefs means you're willing to repeatedly get kicked in the balls for those beliefs.

I've already given you PLENTY of modern examples. If you choose to ignore that because you want to punch stuff or shoot stuff because "you're mad". Then you're just another moron that no cause needs. So please join the neo-Nazis, Alt Right, or some other group that should fail and be forgotten in history. Cause you're serving no other purpose other than to undermine ideas.

Again, "punishment" does not stop murder, or theft, or robberies. This is why police officers "patrol". This is also why regulations and inspections make disasters LESS LIKELY to happen. Only idealogs can't see this as common sense.

How are they more dangerous than ever when they lost in 2020 and wasn't able to pull off a "red wave" in 2022? The Republicans were more dangerous when Trump was president and trying to steal the election. Instead Trump is being put on trial for his crimes. So your claim doesn't make any sense. Again I don't know what your point is. If the idea is to get mad at each other over meaningless crap or people getting their fee fees hurt over someone's rhetoric, instead of focusing on a strategy, then I can easily see how the Republicans will take over again.

  8671. @Christopher Bradley First off the viewership of people like Rush Limbaugh was ALWAYS exaggerated. The last time Rush Limbaugh had any actual influence or a significant viewership was over two decades ago. After that it was Fox News just pretending that Rush had influence, but since then Fox News has been the one with real influence. The only reason why Alex Jones had a spike in viewers recently is because he had the ear of Donald Trump and he went on his show a couple times. It never had anything to do with their ideas. The problem with Jimmy is that he throws his anger everywhere... He throws it at Democrats more often than he does Trump. Anger without context doesn't really accomplish anything. People who are just angry at everything and pretend that a 3rd party is the only answer and don't get engaged politically in any kind of meaningful way because they are jaded, are useless "votes" to go after because people like that aren't interested in voting FOR anything. The reason why Rush and Fox News were successful is because they got their viewers to vote AGAINST something and support the Republican no matter what. Jimmy didn't care if Trump won or not, he really didn't support Bernie Sanders much at all. He mainly sat around bitching about everything and even going as far as saying that Clinton was worse than Trump... That message causes people STAY HOME on election day rather than DO SOMETHING. Unfocused anger is not something that we need. It only gets us people like Trump.

It goes to a bigger house, nicer car, Xbox, iPad, iPhone, boat, plane, etc. We measure ourselves based on our peers...So when we move to a new monetary bracket we automatically BUY MORE to fit into it. A social disorder of our own making. -TZM

  8678.  @ProLaytonxPhoenix  So do you somehow think that most people, especially those with families, only stay at jobs for a year or something? It is pretty sudden for people who have been at a job for years, if not decades. Your response is basically "it is foolish not to do what I say". And actually when vaccines first started rolling out people were laughing at the suggestion that there would be a mandate, even Biden dismissed the idea. It wasn't until a few months later that everyone convinced themselves that forcing people to protect themselves was a great idea. It wasn't until after the OSHA proposal that Democrats decided to advocate for it. Before that it didn't actually poll well.
    1
  8679.  @L.Fenton  And? You actually need some kind of logic behind your statement. Covid spreads regardless of weather you are vaccinated or not. So those mandates were never about stopping the spread. If you want to actually pursue a "Covid Zero" strategy then you would do what China is doing. Lock down everything and force people to get tested regularly. Furthermore those mandates never took into account people who already recovered from Covid, which has shown in numerous studies to have as much or more protection against reinfection as being fully vaccinated and boosted. So it was never based on anything scientific.
    1
  8680.  @douglasspringer1665  Christ people, stop virtue signaling. It's a contagious disease that is not stopped by vaccination. Something we knew a YEAR AGO. If you want to force people to protect themselves you might as well ban alcohol, soda, and fast food as well. I wish people would have an actual logical argument instead of repeating the obvious.

  8681. You're 100% wrong Kyle... Those arguments work because most voters are low information voters they aren't sitting around parsing nuances of policy like you are. Obama hasn't lost a step at all and he's not even campaigning for himself.

Which means we are easily devided and easily conquered... 3. As far as "beating them at their own game"... Like I said, parties are just marketing agencies for politicians. You are *NEVER* going to "out market" a corporation. It took less than a year for them to completely co-opt the "Tea Party".

  8684.  @ArchitectOfSound01  I don't think it has anything to do with "control" and everything to do with money. Most things in this world are driven by money and the psychological influences that it has on those who have it, want to keep it, want more of it, and those who don't. More often than not there isn't a secret cabal trying to "control you", it's usually just a marketing firm or lobbying group trying to influence and manipulate people for more profits.

  8685.  @ArchitectOfSound01  We've been under corporate tyranny for decades and that includes pharma, Finance (Banks, Insurance, Real Estate), Agriculture (Monsanto, etc.), Energy (Exxon, BP, etc.), Tech (Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc.). So this is just another aspect of it. Make money off of sickness then you're going to continue that sickness. Make money from a life saving drug and you'll raise prices or patent drugs in order to increase profits. Even if it means that more people will die. Make money off of prisons and you'll try to get more people in jail. Make money from weapons or military equipment and you'll promote war and conflict. Make money off of legislation and you'll bribe/corrupt politicians to change legislation. This is what the profit motive always leads to when it becomes the main motivating force in a society.

  8686. @megagagnon1 Still... It's not like government employees are the only employees with benefits. As far as accountability if what you imply were true then by now teachers would be making CEO salaries, but they're not. The average is 50k and starting salaries are nowhere near that. That said I'm not a teacher. However I do think it's the right of people everywhere to speak out, strike, and assemble. You make it sound like the tax payers of Wisconson can't say "no" and I just don't buy that.

SCIENCE lets you anti-abortionists know WHEN CONCEPTION BEGINS! SCIENCE lets you know when someone is clinically insane vs. immoral when passing judgement. It pisses me off when conservatives take things like science and government for granted and go through life pretending that they don't benefit EVERY DAY from the advances in our society.

  8688. It's a rediculous notion that you must become vegan in order to stop this practice. As if mass agriculture is any better. Cenk is right. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS. There are many local farms where you can get your eggs, meat, etc. You can also grow your own food. If you do you'll rediscover food and find it much TASTIER and HEALTHIER than the mass produced CRAP. I haven't bought eggs, chicken, etc from a grocery store in a long time. Get food from farms YOU CAN VISIT.

The inherent problem with ANY belief system is the refusal to challange itself.

Some of it might go over people's heads, some of it won't.

If you want that kind of programming you go to TYT or some other show.

  8694. Just because there's corruption doesn't somehow make the concept of "government" and every function of government useless. That's called "throwing the baby out with the bath water". Having corruption and abuse in police departments doesn't mean it's a good idea to get rid of the concept of "police". It's called understanding "nuance"... Being a reactionary & rejecting everything "gubment" doesn't help anyone. Failing to understanding nuance makes you a tool of the same forces corrupting DC.

  8699. @ATGwrestling The idea that "anything else" somehow means authoritarianism is IMO an indication of brainwashing... Due to decades of propoganda that occured during the Cold War. Capitalism existed a long time under monarchies (and still exists). Subservience to a king/state changes with democracy NOT capitalism. Yet many problems today deal with "economic" subservience. Economic inequality only causes societies to collapse as indicated historically in the US and in Russia.

  8700. No, Bill's commentary is directed to white viewers who watch fox news. To understand the socioeconomic forces behind poverty & crime in different groups all you have to do is look at the MANY studies covering the topic. However for Bill and Fox viewers it's easier to ignore science & blame black people instead of looking at the systemic reasons behind it. To say "have a good family" to people living in slums is like telling starving children to "go eat something". It is ignorant & asinine.

  8701. Again.... Say it with me... It's not a UBI without the "U".... We've ALWAYS known that giving "some" people money, helps those people, especially poor people. Which is why we have things like social security and unemployment benefits. What we don't know is what will happen if the baseline in society suddenly becomes $1000 a month, because I can guarantee that landlords in certain areas will immediate raise the price of rent when that happens. In my mind a UBI is nothing more than a band-aid to prop up capitalisms failures. Markets have never been good at making sure everyone is fed, clothed, and housed. Making people dependent on money and market forces is not a long term solution for anything. It's like starting fires to keep firemen employed...

I have a friend who was in the same boat and the woman insisted on having the child. It's hard to be a "DAD" when the mother lives in a different country. So he dropped everything and moved, got citizenship, got married (made the citizenship easier). Now he lives with lots of regret & animosity. He didn't want to be a Dad however the "choice" was made for him.

  8708. Do you honestly think that Joe Biden is going to pick up the phone and try to unfreeze someone's assets because his son asked him to? Do you really think that's how that was going to work? Do you think a Vice President even has the power to unilaterally unfreeze a specific account on a whim? Or maybe.... Hunter Biden might have some insight on the issue since he's a lawyer and has run several financial firms locally and overseas so maybe he might have some expertise? Immediately jumping to the conclusion that there is a crime committed here is pretty insane. Trump has basically primed everyone to immediately think everything Hunter Biden does is a crime because of a campaign strategy.

  8710.  @dogeatdog6157  I remember Biden bragging in front of a conference of hundreds about US policy and MAGA idiots being completely misinformed over the situation with Viktor Shokin. If you spent 2 minutes researching that situation you would understand that the IMF, EU, World Bank, and the US government ALL wanted Viktor Shokin removed before investing in the Ukraine specifically because he was NOT investigating corruption. His own deputy attorney complained that he stonewalling corruption investigations and the Ukrainian people were literally protesting in front of the parliament over Victor Shokin's corruption and his ties to the owner of Burisma and various other Russian oligarchs. I cannot believe I'm still having to explain this sh!t 2 years later because people blindly believed what Trump and Gulianni made up just before the 2020 election. Christ people... There are articles from ALL OVER THE WORLD written about the situation with that prosecutor and how the investigation into Burisma didn't proceed until AFTER Shokin was removed.

I've paid mortgages, car notes, etc. never once have I had to calculate APR.

  8716. When it comes to due process, the constitution is abundently clear that it applies to ALL people. The reason it explicitly says "persons" as opposed to "citizens" is because the founders didn't want a government behaving like King George with the power to kill and throw people in jail without a trial. The 5th amendment can't be any clearer.... Which is why it EXPLICTLY says that the only exceptions are in the middle of wartime battle or if the public is in imminent danger.

  8717. @CDubSD GREAT you finally answered the question. Now we can have a real conversation. Seeing as you agree that a progressive tax rat is a good idea. Then you would agree that the top .1% paying 17% while the middle class pays over 30% (or over 50%) is not a good idea. Altering our tax rates by a measily 3% on the top 1% to get ourselves out of a crises (mostly caused by the Bush Tax Cuts and 2 Wars) is not "socialism" it's simply using our progressive tax structure in an intelligent way.

  8718. Yeah, YOU brought up the Community Reinvestment Act. Which makes it sad (and funny) that you have no idea what's in it. If you actually read it you would understand that it applies to..... wait for it....... COMMUNITIES. :-) It has absolutely NOTHING to do with mandating the terms of an individual's loan. Nor does it require a companies to make loans to individuals who cannot afford it. You ignorantly parrot some propoganda that was fed to you with NO CLUE of what you're talking about.

It was won by changing opinions and gathering people to a cause (ie democracy). A weapon is no protection from authoritarian forces. It has nearly ALWAYS been used as an excuse for those forces to use violence, imprison people, and consolidate their power.

Obviously thousands of dollars to get "water from air" isn't something for everyone, but to suggest that there aren't situations where someone might have more power than plumbing is just as ridiculous....

  8723. Trump's inclination to put a positive spin on things in IN FACT the problem here.... Trump has been downplaying this virus for months and more people are going to die as a result. Don't you think that is a direct manifestation of Trump's "magic thinking" and constantly hoping things will get better? Kyle, your bias against all other media clouds your judgement sometimes. Saying a drug might or might not work is not really an assurance to the american people. HAVING A BACKUP PLAN IN CASE IT DOESN'T would be an assurance.

Yes there is a culture of gang violence, "stand your ground", and other gun related stupidity., but there is also a culture of boys hunting, fishing, camping, etc. with their fathers. Conflating those things and making it all one big political issues is being myopic. It also plays into the hands of the NRA who will simply use it to rally more support. If you glorify guns or demonize guns, you're NOT HELPING.

  8731. Whether a female trans person has an advantage in sports or not is entirely dependent on whether they went through puberty before transitioning. You can make these decisions on a case by case bases instead of generalizing and acting as if all people and all sports situations dealing with trans people are exactly the same. The reality is you're just not going to have a male/female trans leagues when trans people only make up 1-2% of the population and even in that "league" you would have differences in ability based on when they started transitioning, hormone therapies, etc. Excluding a minority group from participating in society only marginalizes that group.

  8734.  @johnnysupreme5718  It amazes me the number of people who keep commenting without even reading what I said. Again. not all trans people have an "advantage". Not all trans people transitioned after puberty. Not all trans people are adults. Not all trans people participating in sports are trans "female". Maybe you should understand nuances before just blindly reacting. You shouldn't act as if every trans person is a 25 year old male athlete who suddenly decided to transition into a female to play sports. One scenario was told to you over and over again just so you could have a bigoted opinion on all trans people instead of a nuanced one that deals with a very specific situation.

  8735. Your statement about "people without coronavirus shouldn't wear masks" is INCORRECT.... 1. We don't know who has the coronavirus, so wearing masks could indeed reduce transmission in public places. 2. Wearing a mask not only decreases the water droplets exiting a person infected when they exhale, but it also reduces the chances of those water droplets being inhaled. Of course a t-shirt isn't going to protect you as much as an N95 mask but even a t-shirt reduces the chance of inhaling these water droplets by up to 50%.

Then he took dozens of boxes of classified material related to nuclear weapons and refused to give them back for over a year. You sound like a total cuck defending him.

  8742.  @billycarson9506  Seeing as actual trans people only make up about 1 or 2% of the population it isn't the norm, and no one ever said it was. It's the same or far lower than say people born with color blindness or peanut allergies, but you don't see people freaking out and going on a bigoted tirade over those people now do you? We accept those people in society for the differences they were born with. Yet somehow, it's this one genetic deviation that people have problems with simply because they find it weird and "icky". They don't actually listen to trans people as actual human beings. They would rather just judge people and carry pitchforks.

  8753. I agree with the guest... I've always had a problem with "hate crimes" because in my mind they are far too close to "thought crimes". To me they are nothing more than a mechanism for over-zealous prosecuters to push for harsher punishments. The problem is that people think they can use the penal system to "fix society". The penal system can only bandaid society it cannot "fix society". More often than not incaceration only makes things worse, especially when it comes to racism.

Any estabolishment wants to control and sustain itself through systems and structure while stamping out variations and individualism. Jesus (if he ever existed) faught against that estabolisment.

Unfortunately people naturally seek estabolishment and certainty to calm fears, but IMO any knowledge gained through fear is fake and simply anesthesia.

  8758. Making up bullshit is not helpful to anyone. I'm pretty sure they didn't have any labs creating man made viruses during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that killed millions of people. But sure don't let facts/reality stop the fair tails and stories you people like to tell yourselves. --"Why do so many die of flu every year when there is a vaccine?" Because there's no such thing as "a vaccine" for the flu. Viruses mutate and there could be thousands of variations of various flu strains during flu season and creating a vaccine for all those variants that might exist is guess work.

  8759.  @jonathanlubandi8988  --"Unfortunately, many prisoners, orphans and other vulnerables were used as experiment subjects easily " So what? There also weren't bioweapons facilities during that time or during the black plague. Sometimes diseases just happen. It doesn't always have to be aliens or some secret cabal... --"Consider the state of Spain in the 1910s. It was a third world country until about the 70s" Contrary to popular belief. The Spanish Flu didn't actually start in Spain. It was just the Spanish newspapers who were the first to report on it because a lot of governments were trying to downplay it (sound familiar?). Some believe it actually came from a pig farm in Kansas. There have been many plagues and diseases that have killed a large chunks of a given species. It's part of the natural world. Humans are not somehow special or immune to that fact. A virus killing 2%-5% of a species is nothing compared to what we've done . We just made pandemics easier because of our planes and transportation systems. So something that might have been localized in the past instead spreads quickly. Which is why the virus first hit rich people who travel more and transportation hub cities like NY, Denver, Chicago, etc. Yes I also believe that certain health/nutritional factors are probably relevant as to why it hits certain people harder than others..

However as shown by stats on job hirings, prosecutions, sentencing, voter ID laws, stand your ground, etc. institutional racism is alive and well. Humans are very visual and easily create associations making it harder to get beyond racial differences and bias even if that bias is far more subtle today. No one accused Romney of being a "secret foreigner" despite having a parent born in a different country or living abroad.

  8762. The argument against Obama from progressives is always "he hasn't done enough". I'm in that camp too, but the reality is bitching about Obama simply gives credibility to the idiotic ideas of the GOP. Real change means SEPARATING from Washington, we have to mobilize and support movements like OWS. instead of fixating on what a single president (King) should do. In reality becoming president means you've already sold out to a system that's been slowly corrupted over the past 100 years.

I have no problems with the administration defending their position, as long as those defenses are substantive and not personal. I just think it's pretty absurd to think that anytime they defend a position or criticize a story, it is the same as "losing it"

But in any case, no one is proposing sticking to a "tribe", but you only have two choices when you vote. Not voting while sitting on your ass complaining is not going to do a damn thing. Voting for the candidate that is closer to the policies you want to see in the country is a step closer towards those policies as opposed to a step backwards. I don't need to give you strategy. However you can't expect me to respect a strategy that involves just sitting around complaining about the corruption that exists in politics, while not doing a single thing about it.

  8768.  @dlawrence2053  Sorry but you're not going to magically will a 3rd party into existence. There is a reason why this country only has 2 parties and while 3rd parties always fail. It has nothing to do with people's feelings and the fact that you don't understand that just means you're not a serious person. Ana praising someone you don't like means absolutely nothing to me, sorry.... Tell me what specific war has Ana promoted? Tell me when Ana has proposed larger military budgets? Tell me about stuff that actually matters. I couldn't care less about other nonsense. Especially nonsense about Ana saying something you didn't like once.
    1
  8769.  @dlawrence2053  No, the reason we don't have 3rd parties is because we have a winner take all system... We don't have rank choice voting, nor do we have proportional representation like other systems do... This is the reason why we have had a two party system in this country for the past 160 years or so. And if you haven't gotten that far, then you really haven't put much thought into it. So tell me, what is your plan to suddenly change "the media"? Or do you think by just calling out the media on the internet will magically change everything? What is your plan to magically manifest a 3rd party? Who is running for office? What is their platform exactly? Again, what is your PLAN other than sitting around day dreaming, complaining, and pretending that by doing NOTHING you're actually doing something? Yes I know who Madeline Albright is. Again, Ana saying something about her you don't like means absolutely nothing to me. Again, tell me what POLICIES Ana is putting forth that is pro war? Because your argument of "guilty by nice comment about someone you don't like" is an absolute joke. It's literally like how a child thinks. Like there is absolutely no nuance in the world... As if I could not make a comment that Trump did good thing in one area while at the same time despising him as a president. If you're unprepared for adult conversations then you really need to stay out of politics.

Interestingly enough, although he speaks out against needless wars, his cuts to defense are relatively minor compared to virtually eliminating dept of Education, Energy, EPA, social security, medicare, etc. It's one thing to create a plan to streamline certain functions. However to cut regardless of conseqence simply because "you don't like government" Is irrational.

My comment simply said that calling a 10% death and hospitalization rate means that you're "fine" is a complete non-sequitur when you can make that same relative comparison based on many other attributes such as age or comorbidities. Nothing said here actually refutes that. But apparently people are too emotionally tied into some sort of identity to actually have a logical conversation.

The reason for the 2nd amendment is that the founders didn't want a standing army. They wanted a regulated militia similar to the Romans or Switzerland today. So the purpose of your "regulated" gun is to fight for the flag (the US) not fight against it. Resolving internal conflicts is what "democracy" is for.

No, Thom is pointing out how short cited people are because of the brainwashing by corporate media and pundits The founders of this country had the foresight to invest in roads, bridges, USPS, public education, etc. Did you know that the Dept of Energy has a better success rate for its investments than most loans given out by private banks? No of course not, because all you are told about is "Solyndra". We have wasted trillions on war, but your ".002" is based on little more than propoganda.

  8802. @genie0390 Add to the list the economic metldown, huge national deficit, torture, indefinate detention, illegal wire taps. To be fair Clinton worked with the Republcans to deregulate our financial markets which then continued under Bush. Then Bush's famous tax cuts made our deficit skyrocket. Bush acted without thinking (deficit, Iraq war) as well as didn't act when he needed to (911, Katrina, Iraq insurgency) which is pretty much the story of his whole presidency.

  8803. The automatic cowardice and fear from people when black men are involved is amazing... On what planet would the "cop be dead" from someone simply grabbing a taser? Especially when the only reason they are grabbing the taser because they're trying keep from getting tased? You people think that every black guy is automatically a serial killer. Not wanting to get tased, tackled, or arrested, doesn't automatically make you a cop killer.

  8804.  @amielbenson  Yes we all know that if the driver did nothing he would be alive. The disagreement is thinking that struggling is worthy of a death sentence. It isn't. Stop justifying it. Police are there to protect and serve, not kill people who don't comply. You don't see cops kill people who don't comply in other countries. People who thinking that is normal, makes this a very unsafe country to be in. Especially for black men who are often automatically labeled as dangerous.

  8806. Your problem Kyle is the same old Washington speak that I've heard ever since I was a child.... Until we can come together and bridge the gap between what divides us as human beings and instead choose what unites us as Americans we're never going to get enough people to buy Buttigieg's book so that he can become a millionaire and run for president again.

  8807. @LeadHammer It's called an illustration... No different than showing a cartoon pie. You act like they took up half the documentary with this illustration when it was only a couple minutes. There are a lot of things that people did in movie, TV, and radio that we would regard as silly today. It just sounds like you're trying to impose your current culture, mindset and thought process to judge the communication effectiveness of 60 year old video which is rather silly and pointless.

  8808. There's a big "it depends" in all of this. First off there are plenty of reasons for why people don't ride bikes other than helmet laws... Pretending that helmet laws are a big factor is kind of a stretch. You should also look as is the amount of people who were wearing helmets before and after those helmet laws were passed. It might just be that most people were wearing helmets even before it was made a law. There is no helmet law where I live (Except for children), but I rarely ever see anyone without one. Also I don't really believe the study about motorist getting closer to cyclists if they are wearing a helmet.  I would have to see more data on that because I'm sure it depends on the country, city, if they are accustomed to cyclists on the road, etc. Yes there are more chances of getting head injury in a high speed car crash, but low speed car crashes where people are fine are far more prevalent. A helmet in a high speed crash in a car WOULD NOT prevent brain injury. No matter what you're wearing your brain is still going to bounce around your skull. Wearing a helmet on a motorcycle isn't to prevent brain injury, it is to prevent death. If there are bike lanes that's great, but if there are not then you should probably be wearing a helmet. You really can't wait for a city to restructure all the roads and sidewalks before deciding to go somewhere.

  8809. 1. Over a year and a half ago I was commenting on Wikileaks OBVIOUS political motivations. Assange was basically on record as saying he was out to get Clinton. It was amazing that people were pretending as if Wikileaks was unbiased. They may have started out that way, but now they're basically a conduit for manipulating politics.... Not just in the US, but around the world. 2. Cenk the Access Hollywood tapes would be characterized as "stolen" if someone came out and said they were "stolen". We have no idea if the person who leaked them had the right to do so or not. So you're just making up shit. Whereas it's obvious that the emails were hacked and stolen. 3. It's obvious that Clinton was joking about "Droning Assange". Do you seriously think the US would drone strike London?... Please. Trump i a lunatic who is on the record trying to convince his generals to use Nukes or attack North Korea, so stop with the false equivalences. There is a reason why YOU and the media take Trump seriously when he makes crazy statements.

  8810. I'm not away of any acomplishments in the US for the "Green Party". However you could say that the "Green Movement" resulted in the "Green Party". There was no discussion in the media about the 99% vs 1% before OWS and now it's part of our political discourse in all parties. This is why awareness is better than political allegiances. Civil rights was a *movement* not a party. Which is why the Zeitgeist Movement focuses on awareness (i.e. the "Zeitgeist") rather than the circus of politics.

  8811. Yeah Ana I don't get what was wrong with his statement at all... If someone is far away enough to shoot then you DON'T know what their intentions are unless they say "Hey I'm going to rape you". If they are close enough to rape you then it's already too late it use a gun. So things like whistles and mace that you can get ready and use in close proximity is probably going to be more effective than a gun anyway. Plus you don't accidentally kill a guy who may be just trying to ask you out...

  8812. Killing hundreds of civilians to release hostages is exactly what Hamas thought they were doing on the 7th. The entire reason they captured people on the 7th was to exchange for Palestinians in Israeli prisons, many being held without charges. So essentially they killed hundreds of people to rescue hundreds of hostages. Yet you won't hear western media praising Hamas in the same way they praise the IDF for doing essentially the same thing.

  8813.  @chop54321  No they don't. They have a right to call the police or private security, but they have no right to brandish weapons sorry. Castle Doctrine does not apply here, in fact it doesn't even apply to someone in your yard, so understanding the laws instead of just "Der.. I don't like the BLM movement so let me make things up to hate them" like some mindless drone.
    1
  8814.  @chop54321  Unlike you I actually understand the law. Which is why I know that brandishing a loaded weapon is a much bigger offense than trespassing. One is a nuisance the other is a life threatening situation. And yes, people in the Boston Tea Party, MLK, Ghandi , the suffragettes, those who ignored prohibition, and many others throughout history have broke the law in the name of justice. You could classify most freedom fighters and revolutionaries as "criminals" is you wanted to. It's time for you to grow up and understand context instead of just blindly following a narrative a TV pundit spoon fed you.
    1
  8815.  @chop54321  Ummm... yes I did. People like you are the same people who called MLK a "criminal" or the people who damaged millions of dollars of tea on ships "criminals". Because you're just an NPC or bystander who doesn't understand what people are fighting for/against. So you can sit back on your comfy couch eating Doritos while TV pundits tell you who you should mindlessly hate. Others who actually care about society and the people in it will do the fighting for you instead. I do understand the law and so did the judges who convicted these two of a crime. LOL but apparently YOU don't understand that "pardoning" has nothing to do with the laws involved. 😂

  8818.  @toddtheisen8386  No he's just stating what idiots think. The virus isn't man made, that lab wasn't even studying this type of coronavirus, and there was no outbreak among lab workers. There is no evidence what so ever other than the fact that a virology lab exists.... It's just as dumb as thinking that a nearby gun range is responsible for a mass shooting.

  8819.  Bernard Wilson  In that case there was actual evidence. It is a fact that Russia wanted and helped Trump get elected. The only question was whether Trump knew about it or not.

  8820.  @Nick10101  Turns out we still have no evidence only suspicions. Just because an agency (who doesn't actually employ virologists) has a "low confidence" suspicion of something, doesn't actually make that something true. Just like a bunch of US agencies suspecting Trump of being a Russian asset doesn't actually make it true without evidence.

  8821. @ghiisga Te founders diagreed on many issues and their positions evolved over time. However they were in fact SCHOLARLY. Jeffereson was facinated by sciences, studied it, and applied it to his philosophy. So OF COURSE he'd use the wealth of information in genetics, sociology, compuiters, and statistal analysis we have today, not simply say "taxes are bad". They relied heavily on the science, philosophy, and societal injustices of their time. Unfortunately we don't in our politics today.

  8823. Cenk, so what if some people don't work? The fact is technological unemployment is real. As a society we are more productive yet wages are down and unemployment is up. All rich industrialized countries should implement this. More people should spend their time creating, inventing, and making the planet a better place instead of being drones in a meaningless job simply because they HAVE TO in order to survive. Human progression comes from abundance & education not working for works sake.

  8825. 1. You can't speak about government policies without citing the motivation for those policies. Despite what many libertarians believe "government" is not some living thinking thing out to get them... The motivation will likly be popular will, profit (corruption), or religious ideology. 2. Huh? The two examples you bring up were clearly based on economics... The aristocracies of the time were no different than the oligarchy/ologopolies today. It's the same forces of collusion & corruption.

  8826. When companies fail people always blame that company's customers.... They never blame the owners of the company or the people running it....

  8828. Complaining about shit has become more important than actually fixing shit, or at least proposing ideas to fix shit. Trump had zero ideas to fix price hikes that occurred during post pandemic inflation, but because the GOP complained about inflation the most people voted for them. Meanwhile Kamala had ideas to fix price hikes and they just called it socialism and complained about it.

  8829. Thom was off his game here and shouldn't have lost his cool... We have a progressive tax code for a reason. All industrialized nations have a progressive tax structure for a reason. Arguing that the wealthy pay more taxes because they own more money is like saying I spend more in gas because I own a much bigger car. It's not making a poiint it's simply highlighting a huge wealth gap between the rich and the middle class in this country.

  8830.  @NeroVingian40  Because you were making assumptions and not considering the type of videos that I brought up. The reason why this discussion is going nowhere is because clearly you have problems handing conflict. You could address the counterpoints in my comment in some kind of meaningful discussion, but instead you spent the next 3 comments being triggered because I pointed out an assumption you were making. As if I personally insulted you by simply pointing out that your argument was flawed.
    1
  8831.  @NeroVingian40  The topic is/was whether removing the dislike counter was good or bad. You thought it was "good" based on one example. I thought it was bad based on other examples and you decided to flip out about it.... This has nothing to do with moving any goal posts and everything to do with you being irrationally pissed off at anyone bringing up a counter point. I don't know what your issues are, but obviously you don't handle disagreements well.
    1
  8832.  @NeroVingian40  All I did was disagree with the removing the dislike counter being "good". I have been the only one here bringing up that original topic while you continue to be having some kind of melt down about it. If someone politely disagreeing with you is too much for you to handle then I really don't know what to say. You have obvious issues.
    1
  8833.  @NeroVingian40  I did in my first reply to your comment... Where I specifically brought up the idea that the dislike ratio can have the opposite effect and lead more people to watch controversial videos. I also brought up more examples of how the dislike ratio is helpful. However instead of addressing my response and replying like a normal person you decided to melt down and go on an insane rant about moving goal posts....

  8834.  @panblacksolutions  I know the definition very well. People simply misuse the term all the time. Just like they do with "socialism"
    1
  8835.  @panblacksolutions  You cannot use a word to define itself... Sorry, but that is incorrect. Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production. Someone who is a "capitalist" profits from owning the means of production. Your definition is completely nonsensical because we're in a mixed economy and there is no country in existence that isn't a mixed economy where some services are socialized and some are privately owned. So by your own definition everyone is also a "socialist" because everyone participates and funds socialized services like police, firefighters, schools, military, roads, etc. Warren even works for the government for heaven's sake. Again, your definition is nothing more than nonsense political labeling. It is not a real definition for anything.
    1
  8836.  @panblacksolutions  Sorry, but a worker earning wages is in fact not a "capitalist". The person who owns the business or entity and pays salaries is a "capitalist". In the UK they have socialized medicine/hospitals but the NHS still pays salaries to doctors, nurses, etc. Norway has nationalized oil companies, however the workers still earn a paycheck. The fact that a government worker get's a paycheck is not "capitalism". The military is not "capitalist" organization because soldiers get salaries. Again, people misuse the idea of "capitalism" all the time. Just like you are clearly doing here. Capitalism isn't the regulations around a marketplace. Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production and profiting from that ownership.

  8837.  @DamonBadgett  It really doesn't matter what she calls herself, by definition she's not a capitalist.

  8838.  @DamonBadgett  The only reason "person who supports capitalism" appears anywhere is because people keep misusing the term for politics. No different than "irregardless". Bernie sanders also supports capitalism and you won't find ANYONE running for office anywhere in the country who is running on "abolishing private ownership". So it is nothing more than a ridiculous interpretation of the definition that doesn't actually mean anything in practice. It is used as an empty slogan that literally means nothing in terms of economics or actual policy. So I really wish people would stop misusing the term.

  8839. LOL for one thing if you taught EVERY alternative theory on EVERY subject, school would never end.. That's why we have grad school for specific subjects :-) Secondly "absense of evidence" is NOT "evidence". It amazes me how many people try to prove a hypothesis based on gaps in knowledge. Just because I don't know how pasta is made doesn't mean there MUST be a flying spagetti monster :-) The problem wth Casey is that he confuses philosophy and personal belief with science.

  8840. To be honest I don't really blame them... If I had a ground breaking new technology I'd develop it and ask questions later rather than spending a decade on legal questions. But I'd wait before monetizing it and make it as public as the videos they're stealing from. I'm sure there are ways of benefitting people and making a smaller profit instead of just stealing and then hording the technology to make a buck.

  8842. 1. Communisim has never existed. Only interpretations of how a system to promote "communism" (nothing more than an ideal) by various policial parties with their own agenda. 2. The Zeitgeist movement mainly promotes the use of science and technology to devise better and better systems to meet human needs. It is not any one system but rather the idea of using scientific research and innovation to devise better and better systems with sustatinability and human happiness/wellbeing as measures.

  8843. As I said, MANY economists were talking about a housing collapse in 2005. I find it ASTOUNDING that someone ignores every horribly wrong prediction Schiff made in the past 10 years in favor of ONE prediction he (and everyone else) was right about. There's a reason why scientists use a strict methodology to weed out bias, they know 1 correct guess out of 10 doesn't indicate prescience. Sadly, you're making this mistake because you want so badly for the ideology to be right regardless of facts.

  8844. I've suspected for a long time that maybe the best strategy is to get most of the population vaccinated and then move directly to a herd immunity policy. If we're going to live with this virus, then people need to be exposed shortly after vaccination instead of isolating themselves and waiting until their antibodies wane before they are inevitably exposed again. Yes, this would lead to a huge spike in cases for people who are unvaccinated and immune naive, but I think spreading it out over time might actually lead to more people dying because humans react far better to short term threats compared to long term threats and waiting until vaccinated people's antibodies to wane will also lead to more deaths.

  8846. Trump created this crises because he decided to criminalize asylum seekers. More people are rushing here because people are telling them that because Trump is cracking down on immigrants they should try to come now otherwise they may not be able to later. This is why you have an increase in migrants. Again, Trump made the problem worse because he's a total idiot. He thinks by being cruel he would deter desperate people from coming, instead he just made the problem worse and allowed many to die. These people are risking everything to do what's best for their family. They are not doing this for fun. Most people in this country have ancestors who benefited from the lax immigration policies this country had in the past. The statue of liberty has a plaque reading "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" for a reason. That attitude made this country great.... You people seem to have forgotten that.

People want money because we created a system run by it. So it's not surprising when people manipulate governments or markets to control more of it. Gold is simply an arbitrary representation of wealth for which we destroy acres upon acres of forests & habitats just to get a few ounces for a few necklaces & trinkets.

Seeing as Trump went bankrupt like 6 times, is hundreds of millions in debt, increased the military budget by upwards of a hundred billion while at the same time tried to defunding the CDC (which only had like a 5 billion dollar total budget) right before a global pandemic.... It's pretty safe to say that Trump has no idea how to make "bets" let alone how to manage money period. Trying to make sense of trump's "logic" is futile. This is an incompetent moron who was handed hundreds of millions from daddy yet still managed to blunder his way into bankruptcy and debt. He was then was saved by NBC who decided to create a TV show around him. Then after making hundreds of millions off the show, he went into debt AGAIN.

Covid is going to be endemic, in other words we're going to be living with the virus in some form or another for years to come. There is absolutely no chance of stopping the virus at this point. All we can do is use vaccines and treatments to reduce/eliminate symptoms. However at some point everyone is going to catch some form of covid, just like people catch the flu.

Shit is no more "out of control" than people breaking into ships and throwing (in todays dollars) over a million dollars worth of tea into the harbor. The fact is If these protestors did anywhere near the damage that protestors did back then you and the corporate owned media would lose your shit...

  8881. I hate to break it to those parents, but the kid and his friends have been subjected to far worse on the internet. Not too long ago people got married at 16... Now somehow it's a felony to see some skin? Looking at a female or getting touched by one isn't going to ruin them for life or cause their heads to explode.... Puberty's a bitch. Deal with it and calm the fuck down.

  8882. No one said anything about "exploding" it was a violent crash into a palm tree. He was driving so fast that the engine came flying out of the car upon impact. So it's not at all surprising that a car full of gas could become engulfed in a huge gas fire. IMO turning his death into a soapbox about government conspiracies is completely inappropriate.

  8885. @megagagnon1 Right... so then become a teacher then. No? Maybe it's because your whole idea of what teachers do and get paid is based on nothing but opinion and assumption, not actual *teachers* Just ignore the studies that have looked at public vs private pay in DEPTH based on age/experience/education (instead of simple averages and assumptions) and show that they are NOT getting a better overall deal. But hey.... as long as the pundits say "union = bad" then facts don't matter right?

  8887. 2. Furthermore. It is a fact (based on many studies) that blacks are prosecuted, convicted, and given harsher sentences than whites, for the exact same crime. This is called institutional bias, or institutional racism. It is not something simply made up. If you think MLK was unaware of "institutional bias" against blacks then you're completely ignorant of MLK and the entire civil rights movement. Taking a single quote out of context without understanding the man or the movement is silly.

  8888. @ghiisga There is rampant corruption at the federal AND state level... Look up ALEC. They basically "write" state legislation in favor of their corporate members. People are so fixated on Federal politicis that local corruption goes unnoticed. We're infatuated with PEOPLE getting more powerful not DC. Which means a functioning democracy, fair representation, and money not equating to speech. Arbitruary notions of "government size" is nothing more than meaningless campaign rhetoric.

  8889. @megagagnon1 Sorry don't get it. The government is their employer. How is that any different? And relating public workers as "illegal aliens" that will vote for anyone that may give them more benefits as if they are ignorant drones with no political beliefs, is quite insulting. Teachers, firefighters, police, are not highly paid people by any means. They educate our children and some sacrifice their lives to keep you and I safe. So I don't get your assertions one bit.

  8892. Funny how you pretend to know exactly how to handle Manchin when you've never run for anything and have never passed a single piece of legislation in your life. Not saying that there are not tactics that could work against Manchin, but your overconfidence is annoying at times... There are plenty of people who can talk sh!t on youtube when they don't actually have to be accountable or responsible for anything.

  8893.  @angelhare8374  AOC ran for office because she was inspired by Bernie Sanders, she did her own campaigning in that primary and first got media attention from TYT. Cenk also founded the justice Democrats and lost when he tried to run for Congress... All I'm saying is that there's a big difference between actually running for office and passing legislation vs throwing pot shots from the sideline. He constantly criticizes the "inside outside game" when that is exactly how Bernie Sanders got as far as he did and how Nina Turner is ahead today.
    1
  8894.  @angelhare8374  I know that... As he's stated a zillion times... However co-founding a PAC for fundraising is not anywhere close to being the same as running for office. A lot of justice democrats lost their race. AOC won her primary and general election twice because she's extremely good at campaigning.

  8895. @xxcrysad3000xx Thom made no such claim that everyone who has "achieved a high level of success or power" is a sociopath. David Sirota quoted a specific study looking at sociopathic behavior. Thom thought George Bush could fit the definitin of a Sociopath and also voiced concern tha at few unstable protesters with their own agenda could derail the Occupy movement. So you really have to look at your own bias as to why you' think he was using a big brush when he was being quite specific.

These are perspectives derived from personal experience. The point is that you can't see how one derives the stereotype of an "Angry Black Woman" because you have not lived as a black woman. All you can do is judge based on your experiences which are entirely different and unrelated.

  8901. It's not something to be overly concerned about. Recent studies have shown that long covid really only impacts a tiny number of children (0.8%) and most of those cases are resolved after a couple months. Most of the headlines talking about "long covid" are over-sensationalized nonsense.
    1
  8902.  @echolocationn  I'm not lying about anything. Look at the study entitled: "Long COVID symptoms and duration in SARS-CoV-2 positive children — a nationwide cohort study" The conclusions are that long covid in children is really rare. You're trying to make this mother extremely paranoid over her children.
    1
  8903.  @user-fx4qz8pt3w  Yes there are always things we don't know, that doesn't mean we need to exaggerate. Lately a lot of the rhetoric on Covid from progressives reminds me of the same fear mongering that the right wing engaged in with "Islamic terrorism" for many years.
    1
  8904.  @user-fx4qz8pt3w  Please stop acting as if a comment specifically on long covid and specifically with children, somehow means I think the entire pandemic is overblown. That is a classic straw man argument. People make those kinds of arguments when they don't want to address the topic that is actually being discussed and instead they find it easier to just pretend that someone is making a completely different argument. It's a disingenuous style of discourse.
    1
  8905.  @calamitynatalie8590  Unfortunately it's different for different people, but generally kids tend to bounce back sooner than adults. For myself I never lost my taste or smell when I got Covid. For a friend of mine she lost hers for about 4 to 5 days.
    1
  8906.  @crystalhazer7246  The OP asked a question and I answered it the best I could. I think it's more callous to exaggerate and cause someone to worry needlessly over a potential condition they can't do anything about. There is literally a less than 1% chance that their child will develop long covid, let alone long covid lasting longer than a few months. Tell me, how is it "having a heart" to tell this person that their child may have a lifelong debilitating condition? To me, it is far more compassionate to tell a person that the actual odds of long covid in children is nothing to worry about rather than causing panic and telling them that they need to worry over and over.

Progressive have been against the drug war for decades. This is not something new... You don't need ideology just facts and facts come from science.

  8909.  @huntern3071  That's precisely why I said that the only reason for a "vaccine passport" is to force people to get vaccinated sooner. People need to be honest about the problem they are solving instead of pretending it's about something else entirely. It has NOTHING to do with capitalism, it has to do with public policy and using business to force a public policy. However business are not going to force a public policy when they don't have to, and pretending they will is nothing more than a silly pipe dream. Congress is the place to create laws, regulate commerce, and to force a public policies.

  8910.  @agirlthatstrans7815  And a friend of a friend of mine just died yesterday from the astrazenica vaccine... The odds are incredibly low, but sometimes things happen and people shouldn't rely 100% on vaccines to keep them healthy. I already had Covid, but I still wore a mask because we didn't know how long immunity lasts or if it was still transmissible asymptomatically. I still wear a mask because other people don't know who has been vaccinated or not.

  8911. I realize there is bias in the YouTube algorithm, but at the same time... Just a few days ago you were laughing at CNN & MSNBC for losing viewers in the Biden era... How do you know that you're also not suffering a hit in views for the same thing?... 🤔 It's a pretty convenient narrative to say that every time CNN or MSNBC loses views it's because they suck and when they gain viewers it's because "the system is unfair", but anytime you lose views it's because the system is unfair and when you gain views it's because you're awesome... It's a little self serving don't you think? Did you ever consider that watching multiple people might be more interesting than watching the same dude over and over?.... You never have guests or co-hosts. Sometimes I skip your videos on certain stories because I already know what you're going to say because you've said the same damn thing over and over. CNN & MSNBC, and the Hill all have multiple people creating content. I know you like your thing, but seriously It's time to get out of your comfort zone...

  8912. Again, your "cases" are referring to "culture". There are cultures all over the world where men dominate their spouses, children, etc. The fact that at one time in the US women could not vote, own property, and had no legal status was due to CULTURE not how many wives someone could marry. Today women have far more legal and economic freedom than they did 50 years ago. IMO the attitude of "I know what relationships are best for you" is very elitist and has no place in free society.

  8913.  @ruairi4901  The largest population of Irish and Irish decedents in the world is in the USA... There are 35 million people who are of Irish ancestry. Those early Irish immigrants who escaped poverty and famine were discriminated against by people who have the same ignorant mindset that you have now... They thought that Irish immigrants made their lives worse and used them as scapegoats and many refused to offer them jobs and hung signs reading "Irish need not apply". A country isn't born with a bucket of finite "resources" that get evenly distributed to people that live there,... That's not how an economy works.... How can you possibly believe that immigration causes other people to not give birth? Bigotry and xenophobia are just excuses for the weak-minded to pretend it's some group causing their problems when it's not.
    1
  8914.  @ruairi4901  Again, the largest population of Irish and Irish descendants in the world is in the US who came here to escape poverty and famine. They also faced lots of discrimination from people with the same backwards mindset that you have now. An economy isn't based on divvying up a country's resources to people, nor do immigrants stop people from having babies. These are all completely absurd ideas coming from weak minded people who get by in life by looking for a scapegoat and blaming problems on people with little power.

  8915. Muslim read and follow "Islamic scripture", so yes you are talking about Muslims. And the rest of your comment makes little sense.

Sorry, but I'm going to speak up for what's right regardless of the political climate. Whether it's the Iraq War, Torture, Violations of the 4th Amendment, Fascism, Xenophobia, or killing civilians without due process.

If you think it's okay to just shut up and go with it then I suggest you read the poem by "Martin Niemölle"

A percentage sure, but what that percentage is we don't know could be 50% could be 10%. Just like legalizing drugs doesn't mean that EVERYONE will use them, it's the same logic.

Furthermore just like referrees or umpires on the field you won't even KNOW that "fraud" or "theft" has taken place without people watching for it. This is why we have regulations in a lot of cases. So It may sound good to say.... but it's over simplfication.

When people talk about big vs. small government they are basically buying into the nonsense propaganda pushed for decades by oligarch funded think tanks.

We should not be talking about arbitrary "sizes" we should be talking about what works and what doesn't. It's a dumb conversation, stop playing into it Thom...

Well no-one can magically police every viewer and commenter on a YouTube channel, nor can you even prove that the commenter is a viewer and not just a troll, but I can 100% guarantee that I can find a lot more racist Trump supporters than you can find racist TYT viewers. I can just look at YouTube videos of trump supporters and find lots of racist statements. In fact there are white supremacists racists rallies where people dress like Trump. I bet you can't do the same with TYT viewers and affiliates. Also you can admit that your original comment was indeed a lie since you are now changing your argument.

The bubble you're in is thinking that 50% of the country are Republican and 50% are Democrats when in reality the largest party affiliation is "Independent" and it's been that way for years now. It doesn't mean that the majority of the Republican party can't be crazy or sway those independents to vote for crazy candidates when they control the narrative.

  8936. No good guys here. You don't get points for simply insulting a guy on air who has already admitted to lying. Uncovering a lie, making someone admit to a lie, finding out the truth, etc. would be "dismantling" a person. Simply saying "tut tut, you're not a good person" is about as vapid as you can be. It's also safe since everyone already doesn't like them. I'll wait for Tulsi to call out Tucker Carlson, Trump, or DeSantis or ANYONE who isn't part of her obvious future ambitions.

Again, what do you people think is meant by the argument that we should legalize, tax, and regulate these substances? Why don't you look at the fucking bigger picture? Selling many drugs are illegal, did that stop this kid from getting it? NO IT DIDN'T..... Have these long prison sentences that we give out to drug dealers every year magically stopped drug use? NO IT HASN'T Legalizing these drugs allows them to be used in a much more controlled and informed manner and maybe if pot and other safer drugs were legal people wouldn't turn to some illegal, unmeasured, unsafe shit off the street. Don't question someone else's maturity when you clearly haven't matured your own arguments and don't give me bullshit straw man arguments about babies smoking joints or drinking vodka.

  8953. Regardless, the American people and the western world wanted to support Ukraine and supply them weapons. Whether some people in the US government want to weaken Russia is entirely irrelevant. No one forced Putin to invade Ukraine or attack civilians, nor were Ukrainians planning to just give up if the US wasn't supplying aid. Invading a country encourages war, no different than when the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop pretending as if the tepid support the US is providing is somehow magically controlling the entire situation. Also, as far as China, pretty much all countries in the world are more free than North Korea. If you need to bring up North Korea as an example of somewhere "less free" then that's pretty bad.

So I didn't care I just wanted to eat my food and talk about other things, but my friend could not stop making comments about them. Needless to say a few years later I heard certain "stories" about this friend....

  8956. @kazakhstanmkj There is a cultural reference you're missing. Look up the "game monopoly". It is a very old and popular American board game. The economic systems we create are very much like a board game. The governments create the money, set the rules, and the banks control the "players" and pace of the game. Like any game there are winners and losers. Such as the extreme rich and extreme poor, or poor countries whose resources are exploited to benefit rich countries.

You would really have to be an idiot to think the fact that black or white people can murder each other has anything to do with that concept.

The same would be for any race, because they tend to live around each other in the same communities.

They're venting privately to each other and joking. Obviously it's not how they feel about ALL parents or ALL customers (in the case of a business). Now if they were making racial comments or other comments that indicated that they are biased against certain kinds of people then it would be one thing, but obviously they didn't mean anything by it.

  8965. To me it seems that both vaxxers and anti-vaxxers are choosing a hill to die on. At some point we're going to have to just let people take their own risk with being unvaccinated. Yes there is a tiny percentage of immunocompromised people, but is that really who the vaccine mandates are for? Not really. Vaccinated people can still transmit the virus, just slightly less so and for a shorter amount of time. The main reason for the mandates has always been to get as many people vaccinated as possible. So you really have to figure out if these constant battles are really worth it. Covid is pretty much here to stay, eventually the entire population is going to get infected with it at some point. Vaccines will reduce your symptoms and keep you from dying (for the most part), but it's not going to stop it forever.

  8966.  @the-renegade  Nope... We have masks, vaccines, and treatments to slow the spread and keep hospitals from getting completely overrun, but we need to face reality and realize that all we can do is slow the spread and keep symptoms at a minimum. The fact is Covid has already been running it's course whether we like it or not. People are going to spread the Delta and Mu variants regardless of their vaccination status. The people who have stronger resistance against the variants are the people who already caught Covid and generated long lasting memory B cells. This is why several countries have started lifting restrictions and started moving towards mitigating symptoms. This one basketball player isn't somehow the reason why Covid is still circulating all around the world. Shaming public figures that don't want to get vaccinated really isn't actually helping anything at this point.

Without that the pressure has to come from somewhere otherwise their learning will only revolve around leisure activities (video games, music, fixing skateboards, etc).

  8979. BuddyL, It's pretty silly to conflate the two things.... In the case of climate change the lack of consensus comes from the studies funded by fossil fuel companies whereas with GMO studies it's almost the opposite. The biotech companies fund studies that are favorable to GMO products and the larger scientific community is asking for more data and longer studies to draw conclusions. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27317828 "However, in spite of the notable increase in the available information, studies on the long-term health effects of GM plants, including tests of mutagenicity, teratogenicity and carcinogenicity seem to be still clearly necessary" Most of the research has been on grain and soybean plants if you think that means everyone believes that all GMO products from now until the end of time are completely safe then you're just being ignorant or just reading the headline and nothing else. This is completely different than the single idea of carbon causing climate change which is a concept that has been studied and tested for 50 years now.

  8985.  @tchallenger91  No that is the issue... Because we're telling elite athletes that they should take care of their health in the exact same was as an average dude sitting on a couch watching the Superbowl while drinking beer and shoving Dorito incrusted buffalo wings into his mouth. All of these athletic organizations are forcing vaccinations on people who are not even impacted by Covid and we're pretending as if this is somehow normal and logical.
    1
  8986.  @tchallenger91  And why not? If vaccinations don't stop transmission. Then how is it not up to each individual to decide for themselves? Or should the governments also dictate whether people should drink alcohol or eat fast food in order to keep them from dying?
    1
  8987.  @tchallenger91  1. Clearly you've never heard of "asymptomatic transmission". We learned about that 2 years ago... remember? Did the entire country forget about that somehow? A UK study published in November showed that unvaccinated and vaccinated people infected with covid have the exact same viral load and ability to transmit the virus. The only difference is that the virus clears a bit faster in vaccinated people, but only in the first 2 months following full vaccination. After that, antibodies begin to wane, so it doesn't clear that fast. 2. It's a perfect analogy when someone vaccinated "right next to you" can transmit the same virus and "put your life at risk". I assume you think "your life is at risk" because you're unvaccinated and immune naive? Or do you somehow think the vaccines don't work? Which is it? 🤔 Otherwise your panic makes no logical sense. 3. Personal health decisions are not retirement savings programs, sorry. Vaccines aren't somehow less effective against Covid infections because other people aren't taking them. Which is entirely different than a financial risk pool that has less money to take out when people need it. So that's a pretty bad analogy there.

  8990. Someone who is vaccinated can transmit the delta variant almost as easily as someone who is unvaccinated. There is almost ZERO difference in transmitting the Delta variant for people who were vaccinated over 2 months ago. This is based on a study published out of the UK last week. So firing people who won't protect themselves, just seems dumb to me. It's really not a message progressive should be sending to working class people. We could also bring back prohibition and ban alcohol to protect people from the dangers of alcoholism and drunk driving as well. We could ban soda and fast food to to protect people from diabetes and heart disease, but at some point you have to just let it go instead of feeding into an authoritarian message.

This virus is endemic there is no "ending" the pandemic. The virus is going to continue to circulate for many years to come. So yes all you are really doing is yelling at people who don't want to protect themselves.

  8993. ​ @Jose-Gonzalez-cfl  1. Again, transmissibility is moot when the fact is vaccines do not reduce transmission significantly. Masks reduce transmission by 80%-90% or more depending on the mask. So if you actually wanted to reduce spread more you would focus on masks not vaccination. 2. Drunk driving is a direct consequence of having alcohol available. Even the tens of thousands of automobile fatalities we have every year is a consequence of having cars. 3. Not everyone who is anti-vax is also anti-mask. That's just a stereotype created in this dumb culture war and all you are doing is feeding into that insanity. Certainly the hospital workers who weren't getting vaccinated were still wearing masks and PPE every day. 4. Whose dying? Many of the same people who don't look after their health in lots of other ways. Again we could also restrict sugar, fast food, and alcohol and save a lot of lives as well. Not only is it unproductive to constantly wage this culture war over vaccines and giving the right wing a reason to feel oppressed, but It's also more dangerous to spread the false idea that you are not spreading the virus if you're vaccinated. We went through a whole year talking about "asymptomatic spread" and now we've forgotten about that and people are going around thinking that they are somehow safer from spreading Covid by being vaccinated when that isn't really true.

  9000.  @carldavis7309  At the time no one was concerned with an individual right for people to shoot others. They were concerned about states being able to keep their militias. If you look at the context for why the 2nd amendment was created, that's what it was about.

  9002.  @carldavis7309  Laws are written in complete sentences my friend, not fragments and there were gun restrictions at the time. if the 2nd amendment was interpreted as you incorrectly think it is then those laws wouldn't have been null and void when the 2nd amendment was ratified, but the fact is there were laws against certain people owning guns, concealed weapons, permit requirements, even whole towns would ban people from carrying guns especially in public or heavily populated places. The 2nd amendment was always understood as the right for States to maintain civilian militias, mostly for "slave patrols" in the Southern states. It is only in recent times that people have had this weird interpretation of the 2nd amendment that isn't historically accurate. Even the NRA was advocating for gun restrictions in the early 20th century before they got bought off by gun manufacturers.

  9003.  @carldavis7309  If you actually went by what it says you wouldn't ignore what the sentence starts with.... Nor wouldn't you ignore the historical context. Again, when the 2nd amendment was ratified there were laws at the time that clearly "infringed" on the personal right to carry arms all over the place. So it obviously did not mean "no infringement on a person to carry arms". It was to insure that the Federal government couldn't not deprives states of their civilian militias. The Supreme court has become nothing more than judicial activists over the past few decades. They have lost all legitimacy at this point.

  9008.  @DaHanG  That's called "Black Friday" every year... Just because businesses have a sale when people get a bonus at the end of the year (and the Alaska oil dividend is no different than a bonus at the end of the year from any other job), doesn't mean that a UBI won't increase rent. You don't use a "bonus" to pay for rent or your mortgage. A UBI is specifically meant to be used as INCOME. So if you're paying $800 a month in rent, suddenly your new budget for rent becomes $1600 or more. Which is good in the short term, however businesses will just respond by raising prices on rent. If you think that people will not be greedy and do that, then you're just being naive. Then what happens to all of those safety nets that people opted out of when the inevitable inflation starts hitting? You weaken the ability for society to take care of people who fall through the cracks by leaving it up to the market.

Maybe it would be more productive if you can argue the idea on it's merits instead of just making an "appeal to authority" fallacy.

  9010.  @annalee4120  To me it seems that "Human-Centered Capitalism" is nothing more than a marketing slogan. Unless you can articulate that into specific policies, it's kind of meaningless to me. His thoughts around campaign finance reform are quite good though. Yang is trying to use socialism to change how a the market works, that's basically what a UBI is. He's trying to pretend that the market can work for everyone because it worked for him. It's a classic republican/libertarian line of thinking. However If you're going to do socialism, just do socialism.... Giving people tax money and just throwing them into the market to see what happens, is irresponsible. There isn't a single case of UBI working across the board in any other country.

  9013.  @mokondoenak3706  My point is that rent and other things will go up much more than it otherwise would. I thought my argument was pretty obvious.... I'm just not on board with the idea that markets will suddenly be altruistic if we just hand out money to people. As if there isn't already a long history of people and corporations swindling people from their money and manipulating markets in their favor.

  9014.  @aninsightinthemaking.9252  Try one time... Since apparently people have trouble debunking the idea at all. I saw a video of Yang on Facebook trying to answer this very question. His only answer was to assume what people would use the money for... Sorry, but that's not an answer. You're adding an extra 1.8 trillion to the economy (his words) with absolutely no idea or control over how that money is going to be spent. So you really cannot answer the question on what it would do in terms of inflation, rent, etc.
    1
  9015.  @appaul7095  The fact is you have no idea what the repercussions are because we have no data on it. There is no concrete model that economists can point to that says "That's how a UBI would effect the economy". The only times it has been implemented is in small populations for specific needs (a few villages, some impoverished people, etc), not across the board for an entire country. Again, I have no problems with socialism that targets a specific need or natural monopolies. However I think it's foolish to not be concerned about relying on a market that has left so many people behind.
    1
  9016.  @appaul7095  Alaska's dividend is no different than a yearly bonus, it's not an "income". It's not a monthly income that can immediately be put towards rent or a mortgage. You can pretend that a lot of people don't have concerns over UBI or you can work towards addressing the concerns that people raise. Which do you think is more effective? Just like UBI, flat taxes are much easier to "manage", but they proportionally end up hurting the middle class, poor, and disenfranchised. A UBI pretends that a flat income can fix everything without repercussions, which is just as naive as a flat tax. Comparing targeted programs to a flat income is just not a valid comparison because they are not solving the same problems.... No one has yet to answer the simple question as to why rent would not be raised if everyone suddenly had an extra $1000 a month and what effect that would have on the economy in the long term. Nor has anyone answered the concern over weakening safety-nets as people are forced to opt out of them for a UBI as Yang plan does. I'm not completely against a UBI, I just need to see a lot more evidence besides puppies and rainbows.

  9017. You think anyone who voted for the Iraq Resolution should be in jail? Do you not realize that 70% of this country at the time was in favor of intervention in Iraq because of the propaganda campaign that the Bush Administration was waging?.... Voting for the Iraq Resolution didn't mean you automatically expected Bush to go to war. A lot of people thought it was leverage for the Saddam to work with the UN inspectors. (Although they were already on the ground). Nor did it mean you were in favor of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians long after Saddam was removed from power. I was one of the few voices speaking out against going into Iraq. However pretending that everyone who voted for that resolution wanted hundreds of thousands of civilians to die is pretty dumb. You cannot say that voting for that resolution was signing on for everything that happened over the next 10 years, it's absurd. Some wanted leverage against Saddam, others thought we would do a limited strike, no one thought we would be in the country longer than a few months, but the Bush Administration kept pushing and pushing far beyond what anyone thought they would do. People didn't know about PNAC or Bush wanting to "one up" his father in Iraq.

The reason she stays away from Biden and defends him is because she wants to leave herself available as a Biden VP pick. Just another reason why I don't trust her.

WTF does the Republicans feigning outrage about Ilhan Omar's comment and then Democrats immediately capitulating to that fake outrage have to do with "woke Democrats"? The real problem is people like you once again giving creditability to nonsense right wing talking points in order to act like you're "balanced". The real problem on the left is that we care about being "nice" to people and the right wing does not.. So when you don't' give a shit about being nice, and you tell your voters to hate people, then it's much easy to tell people to eff off and be unified under a single message. When you have people who are actually sympathetic to the pain that they might have caused to people, whether it's intentional or not, then it's far harder to unify a message or line up behind a strongman.

  9036. Ann Romney is just your typical "trophy wife". Her main purpose is to have children (preferably boys), be a "buffer" for social gatherings, and help Mitt spend his money. You can't expect her to know much of anything outside of Mit Romney's circle. Her life has been a stay at home mom for decades. She has no idea what the rest of the world is like other than by traveling first class.

"deal with narcotic distribution with weaker penalties, it will only increase the problem" Based on what? Your "feelings" or actual data? Prohibition led to the most violent mobs/gangs in US history. The drug war is doing the same today with the growth of violent Mexican cartels, gangs, & INCREASED drug usage. Meanwhile countries have had better results legalizing narcotics.

  9040.  @lol_Stranger  He didn't want to be president. The only reason he ran in 2016 was to get the country to focus on the issues that he cared about such as health care, rebuilding the middle class, getting more money in the hands of working people, and rolling back the military industrial complex. This is not a game to Bernie Sanders, he truly cares about these issues far more than his own power.

  9041.  @lol_Stranger  Obviously he intended to win once he ran, but when he lost what did you expect him to do? Whine and cry all the time about it? I hate to break it to you, but you don't always get what you want in life and when that happens you need to put your big boy/girl pants on and figure out a way forward.

  9042.  @lol_Stranger  He didn't quit. He campaigned until he no longer had a path to the nomination. That's how this works. Sander's did thousands of speeches, pushed through a heart attack and kept on campaigning for the issues he believed in. He could have easily retired years ago and not given a crap. With the way you people treated Sanders, it's no wonder more people don't try and stand up for you.

  9045.  @mertalrooth01  Responding to things you don't like with a rational argument is being an adult, responding with "der u stupid" is the mentality of a 12 year old. Also screenshotting someone's posts and searching for their comments demonstrates a pretty weird obsession/compulsion. You've spent a lot of time and energy for someone pretending not to care... 😂 As if someone with actual experience in the world would care about you and your "college friends" lmao. 😂 People grow out of their school cliques and peer pressure.

He literally called it "treason", but he kept it quiet because he thought it would be too scandalous for the public to know about it. So Republicans have a history of committing treason for power. Never mind Trump trying to extort foreign countries into investigating his political opponents as well as his attempted coup. When was the last time a Republican actually won the popular vote without committing treason?

  9050. Trans people are targeted, beaten, and murdered every year in this country because of hate. And it's much worse now that trans people have become a pollical issue. You can fixate on a single protest getting out of hand, but do you offer the same protection and sympathy to people who are being targeted by far worse every single day? Getting cornered in an office for 3 hours with police protection I'm sure is inconvenient. But trans people are being cornered every day in a dark alleys, bathrooms, out on the street and live in fear on a regular basis.

  9051. The point made by Cenk at the end is rather stupid. Simply making a decision that ends up working out isn't somehow a skill. There are millions of other people who have "stuck it out" in entertainment and ended up with nothing. Yes persitance definately increases your chances that something may come through. However Cenk's logic sounds more like the self justification wealthy people make because they want to believe that all their wealth is due to them being "special" or exceptional.

Keep in mind that blood doesn't just hang around outdoors for very long anyway. All it takes is a bit of rain or some insects and it's gone. Also it's not like you would ever find a "drop of blood" on grass anyway. You could spill quite a bit of blood on grass before it's ever enough to even notice.

Or that you can't believe in the rights of gays to marry and be against drunk driving at the same time. It's nonesense to think that decisions are based on some dichotomy where you're either want everything regulated or nothing regulated at all. Especially when you yourself don't support having "no gun laws".

Sorry, but an 8% reduction in transmission is really not that much and up until this point we had no problems with the 100 or so kids who died from the flu every year. Parents can do whatever is best for their kids, but I really think progressives are going too far with the militancy over vaccinations. The culture war over vaccinations has gotten out of hand.
    1
  9059.  @lauraprosser5084  Huh?.. "kill us"? WTF are you talking about? If you're vaccinated you're far less likely to show symptoms, get hospitalized, or die. Furthermore a recent study has shown that the Delta variant spreads nearly as much in vaccinated people as it does with unvaccinated people. Even John quoted only an 8% reduction in transmission here. So what exactly are you arguing? People have seriously lost their damn minds over this nonsense culture war.... Take a step back, breath, be rational.
    1
  9060.  @SuprousOxide  So if someone starts a fire are we obligated to respond with gasoline? Republicans baited people into it and instead of deescalating the nonsense we fed right into it.... First our position on vaccines was "if you want to go around unprotected and potentially die from Covid it's up to you.." Now people are pretending that we'll all die if we don't have vaccine mandates so lets force everyone into it. How did that happen over the course of 6 months? All we did was feed right into their conspiracies and created a highly motivated minority of voters who now have a right to complain about authoritarianism.
    1
  9061.  @SuprousOxide  First off the new strains came from outside the US, specifically from poorer countries where vaccines weren't available and were Covid didn't spike until much later, not from "Republicans". The Delta variant did not come from the US. Again, this culture war nonsense has gotten out of the control. You're pretending I'm the one listening to propaganda meanwhile you're walking around making completely false statements.. Understand the bubble that you're in.
    1
  9062.  @SuprousOxide  Again, Delta still circulated and had a big surge over the summer in countries with far higher vaccination rates than the US. There is nothing what so ever indicating that Delta would be "shut down" in this country, let alone throughout all of the Americas. You really need to get out of this mindset of pretending we are "stopping" transmission with vaccination. Delta spreads almost as much amongst vaccinated people as it does unvaccinated people. Repeat to yourself 10 times: "I can still spread SARS COV-2 if I'm vaccinated" The main thing you're reducing are SYMPTOMS not transmission. And you don't see that you're just as caught up in this culture war as they are... Normally the left would be on the side of workers and yet you have people acting happy about workers getting fired for refusing to protect themselves with a vaccine. All you are doing is giving something more for the Right wing to fight against and you don't even realize it.

Israel is pissed that Obama came out so strongly against Mubarak, something that you fail to mention. The last president that talked big and acted big got us into TWO WARS and record debt.

  9067. I don't disagree... And of course, more of these "punishments" effect the working class more. Why not punish people for being old since the virus effects far more people over 50? People often react badly to a crisis. We reacted really badly to 911 and decided to go after the wrong people and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the process. We're also reacting badly to this pandemic. Feeding into the nonsense culture war over vaccinations and school closures was the dumbest thing the left ever did. I've had plenty of criticisms of your show, but the one thing I do appreciate is the fact that you didn't fall into this culture war as much as other people have. Where every video you upload is responding to an anti-vaxxer or defending mandates as if there is no other issue to talk about in the country.

  9078. Covid hasn't even been shown to spread quickly on flights especially since there's a mask mandate. Also there needs to be an exception for people who have natural immunity. Either through a prior Covid test or an antibody test. The fact that we're not looking at natural immunity after tens of millions have already been infected with Covid is kind of an embarrassment. Vaccination is only one way a person gets immunity to a virus and there are many studies out showing that immunity to Covid through natural infection is far more effective and long lasting than immunity through the mRNA vaccines.

The former is going to have plenty of friends who aren't wealthy, the latter isn't going to know anything else other than comparing themselves to other wealthy people.

The idea of "believing in" somebody is also complete nonsense. Politicians are people not gods.. If you want to "believe in" something, believe in the facts as they come.

Meanwhile the percentage of Asians in CA is only 13%... Asian porn being popular there "makes sense" to Cenk only because he lives in California and has an Asian wife. His perception of the South is completely off.

  9088. 07:20 I don't see how you're classifying those as "left leaning" or "right leaning" ways of doing things. You do realize that Japan has an aggressive contact tracing program and has also paid people for various reasons This has nothing to do with left vs right. It's just different ways of solving the problem and those solutions can be different based on the circumstances. If a virus is spreading across the entire country and it's too big to do contact tracing, then shutting down and paying people is probably the answer. However not all countries are in that situation. Constantly framing things as "left vs right" is just so tiresome. I'm sick of it.

Correct? I wouldn't let anyone slap me in the face either, that doesn't mean I would murder them for it. People in this country have lost all sense of morality.

Meanwhile Trump can commit fraud with Trump University, Commit campaign finance violations, Tax Evasion, extort a foreign country to help himself politically, lie his way into hundreds of thousands of American dead, and suddenly Hunter Biden is the biggest threat to our country.... I'm all for investigations, but an "investigation" doesn't automatically mean someone is guilty. Nor doesn't automatically make someone guilt by association.

"Anyone can win because of 2016" is not exactly great commentary, sorry. Trump was a rich white male in a long line of which white men who have won the GOP nomination and the presidency. Stop pretending that the latest reality TV star is somehow vastly different than the last TV star (Reagan) that the GOP fawned over.

  9122. 12227UserName Black unemployment has absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump, unemployment had been going down for years under Obama. It’s a trend that didn’t magically stop when Trump was elected. Please name any policy that a Trump enacted that specifically impacted Black unemployment? You can’t because Trump didn’t do shit about Black unemployment however he’s willing to take credit for it. Secondly the fact that you’re “happy” that immigrants are being kicked out and families are being broken up just makes you a bad person. You take pleasure in other people’s misery who haven’t done anything to hurt you in any way.

  9123. 12227UserName. Immigrants are Immigrants regardless of the paperwork. So I’m guessing you’ve never Jaywalked, drove over the speed limit, or consumed an illegal substance in your entire life huh? The bottom line is you’re okay with other families getting screwed over who aren’t harming you in any way and using the law to justify it. Net immigration has been down for years (in some years it’s been negative), the only reason you think it’s an issue today is because Trump told you to hate immigrants and some pundit sold you the argument.... Prices are actually LOWER because of illegal immigrants and most of the agriculture in this entirely dependent on illegal immigrant labor. Try talking to a farmer about how their prices would change if they couldn’t hire illegal immigrants.... and of course when food prices change so do the prices of other products. Furthermore most illegal immigrants contribute more in taxes than they ever get back in benefits. Over half of illegal immigrants even pay federal taxes. What you have been told about illegal immigrants are nothing but lies in order to make you afraid of “the other”, so that a slimy politician can get elected on your fear and screw over a bunch of families, kids, and students who are only making a life for themselves like everyone else. LOL... you say “multiculturalism” as if it’s somehow a bad thing. In case you didn’t realize it the US is a melting pot. We wouldn’t have things like pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs, tacos, fortune cookies, and French fries if we weren’t constantly taking in ideas from other cultures and if people weren’t coming from other countries and incorporating ideas from their country into our melting pot. It’s sadly another thing someone told you to be afraid of. No one is forcing you to eat that taco. Yes unemployment goes up and down, but at least you’ve now looked into it so you know that the downward trend started well before Obama left office. You now know that Trump is lying to you when he’s tries to shamelessly take credit for it.

  9125. 12227UserName Sorry I base my views on facts not anecdotes and since you aren’t providing anything for anyone to verify your claims all I can say is that statistically the crime rate is far immigrants, including illegal immigrants is far lower than for citizens. Again, the illegal immigration rate has been zero and less than zero for years. So I’m not going to sit here and pretend that your irrational fears are anything other than a knee jerk reaction to a politician’s fear mongering to win votes. “OMG!!! There are more Hispanic people around.” “OMG!!! People are speaking Spanish somewhere!” Sorry, but these things aren’t scary to me like they are to you apparently.... I don’t care that there are Hispanic, Indian, Asian, etc. people around. Like I said, no one is forcing you to eat that taco or slice of pizza. We don’t have this irrational fear of “the other” like you people do. You cannot find any serious economic study that shows that we have an illegal immigrant problem, because it’s nothing more than a manufactured wedge issue designed to get people like you to vote out of fear. I don’t know why you would lie to me like that... Either that or you’re listening to people who are lying to you. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Black unemployment was 7.8% when Trump took office and as of March 2018 it was 6.8% After Obama took office following the economic crash under Bush it rose as high as 16.8% so yes the recovery under Obama was quite significant. It’s amazing to me how Trump has tricked you people into giving him credit for it.

  9127.  @wallaceahtone6149  Having a "privilege" doesn't mean you can't struggle, it just means you have one less thing to worry about. Just like most people don't have to worry about what a blind or disabled person goes through in society, but I get it... A lot of times in order to counter a wrong in society people start overgeneralizing with their arguments and go too far with their rhetoric. Which can be hurtful to people which is especially true in this video.

If Elon Musk is making an argument that rich people know how to use their capital and invest if wisely then he really doesn't have a leg to stand on. Most ride on a couple cash cows and then walk around acting like their brilliant, sort of like Elon Musk making lots of money from PayPal and Tesla (That the government helped him with) and then hopes that no one notices how Hyperloop, satellite internet, SpaceX, solar roof tiles etc. are all either failures or constantly bleeding money and being propped up by government funding.

The profit motive also killed a million Iraqi civilians. The profit motive is exactly what corrupts our government today. --"stop pretending like you're some poor oppressed soul living in the dark ages" I never once made this assertion.

  9137. +DanielTheSexiest It's not the problem with "profit" it's a problem with motivations (i.e. the "profit motive") It is a motivation without limit. You can't be surprised that in a culture that incentivizes endless wealth as the #1 measure of success that you have people who do disgusting things to attain it. It doesn't matter if you buy off a politician, or steal, or dump toxins, or use a child sweatshop in the Philippines. The end result is more important than the process. So of course it's a kind of culture that promotes sociopaths. Yes we can create laws, regulations, and agencies to monitor and protect people from bad behavior, but that's precisely the reason why government get's bigger as markets and business get's bigger. It's basically a symbiotic relationship despite the politics of people who think otherwise.

They are also trained to push away protesters when clearing the streets. There is no room for individual thought or compassion. They are being put in this position and ordered to act this way. Except normally when they use these tactics they are dealing with teenagers and young people who can bounce back.

Whereas the "a" in Agnostic is a rejection of knowledge or knowing. You're taking a very lose definition of the word "Atheism", which is a common.

Having a child is a huge psychological toll on a person that comes with ENORMOUS social pressure. Spending your entire life knowing that you've abandoned a child is not easy. Nor is it easy for the child. And there are plenty of men who decide to "do the right thing" and end up in a loveless marriage.

The fact is we have had a system for the past 150 years or so that is held up by norms and light checks on abuse of power instead of specific laws and regulations. That could work out good for the country as it did with FDR (for the most part), but it also work out badly like it did with W Bush and Trump.

Politiicians trick people into thinking that corporate taxes are just like their own personal income taxes all the time. Most people don't run businesses so they have NO CLUE how taxes really work. Employee wages are *expenses* paid BEFORE taxes, Startups pay nothing, If you don't make profits you don't get taxed. Which is why 2/3 of ALL corporations in this country pay ZERO taxes.

  9174. The Zeitgeist Movement was saying this over 15 years ago.... Most of the workforce employed today is not needed to meet humanity's basic needs. We use the labor of poor and disenfranchised people to make food production, manufacturing, and construction cheap, but the reality is most of that can be replaced by automation, robots, drones, etc. However the capitalist class has no incentive to invest in expensive automation. AI is a threat under the current system because it's cheap so people can make money from it without requiring a big investment that other forms of automation require. As long as we have a system where productivity gains only benefit the capitalists and profit/growth is the only way of maintaining an economy then inequality will continue to rise along with pollution, poverty, crime, war, and everything that comes with fighting over scarcity.

  9177. @megagagnon1 The fact that you view taxes as "compulsory donations" is exactly what I'm talking about.

Since blind ideology has made "the government" into an "other". It distracts people from the real sickness in our society which is: 1. a failure of democracy. 2. lack of separation between government and profit.

It seems like if she kept showing her tits in the hopes of getting a higher position she wouldn't have had a problem with it if she didn't get fired. Therefore it sounds like she's more upset about getting fired rather than being harrased sexually and I would seriously question her credability.

  9181. It doesn't need to be a claim. However here Thom is specifically referring to "evangelistic atheists", who assert non-belief upon others based on a claim. To assert that you "believe in zero gods" is in fact a claim. Would you say that a person who has never learned of gods or dietes at all to be an Atheist? Because there is a difference between non belief and asserting non belief.... Asserting non belief or "rejecting" belief is definately a definition of Atheism.

  9182.  @CariettaW  That is untrue. Someone who is fully vaccinated only transmits the virus at a 1/3rd less than someone completely unvaccinated. That difference is barely noticeable if you were vaccinated over 2 months ago. However, the viral loads between someone unvaccinated and vaccinated are exactly the same even if you don't experience symptoms. The virus just gets cleared out faster if you're vaccinated. No information yet on boosters because it's too early. Whereas a mask can reduce transmission by 70%-95% depending on the mask. So what you're saying is just not correct, it's nothing more than misinformation because of this dumb culture ware around vaccines where you have one faction believing they will solve everything and another side who believes they do nothing. You're both wrong. Your mindset is really no different than right wingers who want to fire NFL players for speaking out or gay people in the military.

Basically we're saying that the government can create a list of people and based on that "list" restrict the freedoms of those people. Which means they can't fly, they can't buy a firearm. Essentially they have a loss of liberty. There may be legitimate reasons to be on the list or it can be completely arbitruary. Regardless it should be illegal to restrict a person's freedom without "due process" of law.

  9203. Well they would argue that you're interfering with their right to be as healthy or as unhealthy as they want to be. Recent studies show that vaccines don't do much in stopping the delta variant from transmitting. There is only a slight reduction in transmission between fully vaccinated households and unvaccinated households. There is almost no difference if the people were vaccinated over two months ago without a booster. So your rights are not be inhibited if someone decides to not protect themselves. Just as your rights are not inhibited by someone eating unhealthy, drinking, smoking, etc. Although people have in the past argued for things like alcohol Prohibition and limiting drink sizes for sodas, restricting fast food, etc. So when you advocate for workers to get fired, simply because they don't want to protect themselves in the way that you want them to, then It only gives the right wing an excuse to call you an authoritarian.

  9204.  @colonelangus7535  The study is entitled: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK" It was published a week and half ago. I don't parrot anything and I always look for sources. So many people have gotten caught up in a culture war and stopped basing anything on actual research a long time ago.

Meanwhile the US was built in slavery and women couldn't even vote until the 20th century... 3. Again, the Fed is a SYMPTOM. Money enabled collusion and corruption for HUNDREDS of years.

  9215. What happened? Nothing, because this is who Tulsi always was. She's been on the Dave Rubin shift for years. People forget that Tulsi was initially AGAINST the Iran Deal, she also criticized Obama for not bombing Syria enough, she also defended the use of torture under certain circumstances, she also criticized Democrats during the government shutdown for not funding Trump's wall. Tulsi has always been an islamophobe and is pretty cozy with Modi and far right Hindu nationalists. She never said anything about the Muslims being murdered in Kashmir, even though Bernie Sanders did multiple times. Never mind the fact that she began politics campaigning against gay marriage and bashing gay people in general and later had to apologize for it. She pretended to be as progressive as possible during the primaries, but notice how quick she was to abandon Medicare For All as soon as Buttigieg did. Tulsi has always flirted with the right wing, she even dated a far right republican congressmen for awhile (the crazy one who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony). Now people are surprised when they should have known what she was about all along.

There are those that believe in wild conspiracies and those (like me) who do not.

  9223. Your failure is thinking when people use the term "slippery slope" they are refering to something measurable. They are not. Secondly one could easily argue that using airplaines for military purposes was indeed a slippery slope to mass bombings. Combining common explosives with distance. Each new technology applied to military purposes whether it was swords, arrows, catapults, cannons, guns, machine guns, airplanes, nukes, & drones all led to a different type of casualty and consequence.

  9225. Most "Long Covid" doesn't last longer than a few months. People act as if these are symptoms lasting for years when the fact is "long covid" is simply self-reported symptoms lasting longer than 4 weeks. It does not mean these are symptoms lasing forever and in fact and most people with "long covid" do not report any symptoms after a few months. So when you say "long term impact" you really have to put that into perspective.
    1
  9226.  @echolocationn  What am I lying about exactly? Look at the study published a couple weeks ago called "Long COVID symptoms and duration in SARS-CoV-2 positive children — a nationwide cohort study" You people are so caught up in a culture war that you really can't see straight.

  9227.  @teethgrinder83  I'm saying that it's been studied already and for children most cases end in a few months. We certainly don't want to be hyperbolic about it and turn it into a much bigger problem than it really is. For what reason would you have to want to panic parents about long covid in their children?

  9228. 2. I can't stop participating in this system anymore than I can stop breathing everyone else's air. However everything starts with a conversation and exchanging ideas. The Zeitgeist Movement is one such movement for engaging in those ideas. They promote science rather than political ideology/affiliations as a basis for ideas. Do they have all the answers? Not even close, but at least it's a start. I actually work in the financial industry so it's something I think about every day...

  9230. You can't "culturally appropriate" a country... Which is why someone dressing up a knight of the round table or an anime character is not a big deal. However when you exploit a minority group within a country who has less power and influence than you then that is "cultural appropriation". It's a power dynamic, no different than racism.
    1
  9231.  @Nihil847  Racism is different than bigotry. Racism requires a power structure. Whereas anyone can be bigoted for a variety of reasons. A person saying "I hate people with green eyes" might be unfortunate and ugly, but it becomes something else when that statement is backed by a society capable of systemically oppressing people with green eyes. It holds a lot more weight to it. However people often treat racism and bigotry against a race as being the same thing in every day conversation.
    1
  9232.  @Nihil847  Again, commonly people use bigotry and racism interchangeably, but they are not exactly same thing. Someone can dislike another group without feeling superior than or wanting to oppress that group especially when they have no means of doing so. There are multiple definitions of words and yes words can change over time, however racism has always had that connotation. So there's no reason to be upset over the fact that people have different ideas than you. However I would argue that conflating racism with bigotry is more of a recent thing. In the past a black person saying something derogatory about the white people who were oppressing them was not seen as "racist".
    1
  9233.  @Nihil847  It definitely did. Again a black person using derogatory terms towards white people wasn't seen as "racist" until recently. And that was only long after civil rights, etc. when black people started gaining more equality. Also people wanted to end racism and oppression the whole time. It didn't magically develop in the 19th century... 60 years ago there was no idea of diminishing the idea of racism when POC said derogatory things about white people. You're only proving my point that this is a recent change. You're taking a modern notion born from social media and modern political correctness, and pretending it was always that way.
    1
  9234.  @Nihil847  I think you're redefining racism while at the same time accusing others of doing so. Racism was never about nationalism or jingoism of one nation over another. You're expanding the definition to what you want it to be while at the same time criticizing definitions that in my mind are more accurate. An academic didn't "decide" anything. All words are based on the definitions that society creates for them. Deciding one day that you hate red heads is not racism. It becomes racism when it is part of a social construct. "Race" is entirely made up, there is no scientific bases for it. So without some cultural and social apparatus behind it, there is no such thing as "racism". So you cannot separate the societal implications otherwise you dilute the word "racism" and what it means socially, historically, economically, etc.
    1
  9235.  @Nihil847  You do realize that "institutional/systemic racism" is a "new" term right? So it's like you're taking a new term to redefine the existing one. How do you think people talked about "racism" before that term existed? Racism has always been about power and prejudice. Why do you think it was an issue for so many people for so long? Bigotry alone was never the issue. What you call "racist views" between citizens of different countries has absolutely nothing to do with actual struggles of racism. You're taking a very generic definition and diluting what racism is and how it impacts people. Like I sad, a single person hating red heads, is not "racism". Black people are indeed racist in places like South Africa where there is an unequal power dynamic between white and black people. Although SA is weird because it can go both ways due to it's history. White people have economic/status advantage and black people have population advantage.

Life & Death is all part of the existance all creatures share in but experience differently.

  9238. Okay TYT.... I love you guys but you're now setting yourself up for a backlash. Sorry, but to me this sounds like a women looking for attention and trying to cash in on the hot news topic simply because Al Franken's a Senator. Yes the photo/joke was in poor taste, but clearly Al Franken wasn't even touching her in the picture (let alone groping her breasts through a freaking military vest as she is claiming) and keep in mind he was A COMEDIAN at the time. So making dumb jokes in poor taste was kind of his job. Let's all put college kids in jail for taking stupid pictures of their friends or drawing penises on their faces when they're asleep which happens EVERY DAY. Furthermore I just don't believe her story about the kiss and the script... If she had a problem with the script she would have said something earlier not during practice. And no one on that show remembers anything about the kiss or her getting upset about it. This smells of complete bullshit to me.

It's a simplistic and silly idea to think that you can dismantle 100 years of financial infrastructure and everything will just be "ok". Just ask Alan Greenspan. People have this stupid notion that political pundits know more than our scientists/economists tis why we are easily manupulated.

  9248. A shotgun would in fact NOT kill more people unless it was the automatic variety which I believe are still expensive, very much a custom firearm, and are subject to automatic firearm regulations. Explosives are also highly regulated and require far more skill and expertise to make than going to WallMart with a credit card. If explosives were as prevelant and legal as firearms they would most certainly be used. There's a reason why rocketlaunchers and nukes are not legal for civilian use...

You know what Trump could have done besides letting 40,000 people back into the country? Had 40,000 tests available to TEST these people on their way back into the country. 3. Establishment derangement syndrome is just as bad as Trump derangement syndrome. I dislike the Democratic establishment too, but to look at your videos one would think that you're more inline with Trump's policies than the Democratic party's policies. Same thing happened in 2016. 4. Trump was being nice to President Xi in January because he was trying to resolve his nonsense trade war that was damaging both economies before the 2020 campaign season. You failed to mention that... It's weird how Trump always gets a pass on problems that he created himself. Somehow a trade war, which was purely for politics, that damaged the economies of both countries is "consistency" even though the policy itself lacked any of all substance. If it were an "Establishment Democrat" who gave lip service to a problem and didn't actually have a plan to solve it other than posturing, you would be all over them. Yet Trump does the same thing and it's somehow "consistency".

Allowing more fascism, more people to die, more people losing their health coverage as the GOP killed the ACA, and kids never seeing their families again, would have been TOTALLY worth it all because Biden said "racial jungle" once right?

  9280. Sorry Briahna, but this is where you lose me... First off racial and economic disparities all across this country have ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with Biden saying mean things about the racists and insurrectionists that follow Trump. Secondly, apparently you forget statements from Ronald Reagan about "welfare queens" and historic dog whistle tactics that demonized minority voters for decades. "Strategic grace" is just another way of saying Michelle Obama's "they go low and we go high" which does absolutely nothing in the face of people like Trump & DeSantis demonizing voters every single day and completely ignoring the humanity of LGBTQ folks. If we can't call out insurrectionists, liars, bigots, and racists that have lead to many DEATHS and sufferings to people then all you're doing is pitching weakness. You're basically demonstrating is that if enough conservatives cry about something then you'll automatically take their point of view.

  9281. "Criticizing Islam" is a fundamentally stupid idea. When we criticize what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank we aren't "Criticizing Judaism". When we criticize the Catholic Church protecting preachers responsible for the rape of tens of thousands of kids we aren't "Criticizing Christianity". So why is it okay to "Criticize Islam" instead of the actual groups responsible for horrible things?

  9282.  @MrPossum077  It's not really a "trans "issue". It's more like Ana adopting the anti-trans framing of the right. For example: 1. Getting upset over people using the term "birthing person" <- Not a real issue. 2. Getting upset over a story in the UK about trans women talking about calling their junk "bonus holes" <- Not a real issue. 3. Declaring that known transphobes are not transphobes. 4. Focusing on a single protest where an anti-trans speaker was barricaded in a room for a couple hours, while ignoring the actual anti-trans violence towards trans people everywhere. The Humanist Report has a really good video breaking down the situation with TYT lately. There is also a video Bennie created when she quit. Even Hasan has come out saying she has lost her mind.

However people like Patrick do know the difference. He knows that he's not writing checks to pay his employees from his personal bank account or using a personal debit card to buy studio equipment. He's just lying about it on purpose.

You can make similar societal judgments based on alcohol, drugs (ie drug war), fast foods, sugar, obesety, guns. etc. Again... What is that policy are you suggesting? What exactly do you want government to do to fix the "potential" problem? Do you want government to take children away from single mothers? Because that's what happens when you label something as "abuse".

  9290. Creating crippling sanctions that only target oligarchs is like thinking you can make bombs that only target infrastructure without ever killing anyone.... There is no magic wand that only hurts Putin and the Oligarchs without ever hurting other people. That is idealistic nonsense. Whatever the US does the Russian media is going to be against "the West" and in favor of what Putin is doing. You act as if the Russian people have perfect information. They don't... At some point you need to make a value judgement between mass death, destruction, and loss of sovereignty of Ukraine and hurting people in Russia economically. I hate to break it to you, but war means making hard choices and sometimes none of the choices you're left with are ideal. Saying "we don't know" what will happen in the future is really not an excuse for doing nothing for an ally.

  9296. If John McCain was alive today I could easily see him saying that the comments against Omar have gotten out of hand. Many years ago Megan McCain used to be to the left of her father. She was the moderate conservative that you could have a reasonable conversation with. Now she's grown into a complete hack who cares more about her identity as a conservative and making a living on her name, than the truth or facts. The fact is Trump has said far worse about Jews and 911. Her party elected that man president while Megan McCain stayed completely silent about his antisemitism. She never talks about the fact that Trump double downed on "good people on both sides" when talking about the Nazi's chanting "Jews will not replace us" in Charlottesville. Instead she takes some comments completely out of context from Omar, to manufacture this hacky fake argument of antisemitism in the democratic party that doesn't exist. It's disgusting. What little respect I had for Megan McCain 10 years ago is completely gone at this point.

He'd also call out pro-establishment policies whereas here he's more concerned about populist vernacular than Medicare for all, workers rights, taxing the rich, billionaires running politics (like the Koch Bros) and many issues that would be at the forefront. He's only using the same language while schmoozing with other media elites.

Fear in this sense (the unknown) is little more than a byproduct of ignorance. Science requires justification "fears" do not.

Either way there is no national trend of "cinder blocks being dropped on police officers" that is impacting policing or crime.

Maybe you didn't watch the video or maybe you just didn't understand the point. However now you're pretending the argument was about something else. Sorry, but it was not property damage or officers injured in a specific fire. I could also do a switch or create a straw man and pretend my argument is about killing, injuring, and jailing innocent black people, but that would be me doing the same dumb thing you're doing right now.

Trump has been in the Whitehouse nearly 4 years, the GOP has been in control for most of that time as well. So in order to reconcile what an abject failure this administration has been, you have to make up imaginary threats.

That difference is practically non-existent if it's been 2 months since vaccination. The only people mindlessly blaming others is you based on false information. Furthermore the idea that you "cannot mutate" the virus is also untrue. You're spouting a lot of unscientific BS, based on nothing more than political identity.

  9332.  @Fremen2  I honestly don't give a crap about Aaron Rodgers, but the idea that he could just freely say what he wanted to in public without backlash seems pretty absurd at this point given the backlash that he and others are currently getting. Heck I can't even state a verifiable fact about SARS-Cov-2 transmission amongst vaccinated people without getting a backlash here in the comments. Everyone seems to have their minds absolutely made up regardless of the facts. You either conform to a certain narrative or you become fodder in a nonsense culture war. The country has lost it's mind.
    1
  9333.  @TheHugeDwarf  And what exactly have you provided other than your feelings? I provided a peer reviewed study that everyone in the scientific community takes seriously, because it's been well known for a long while now that the delta variant transmits between vaccinated people, we just didn't know how easily. This is why we all started wearing masks indoors again. The only place this idea is controversial is here where people like you are brainwashed because of your politics and rely on political identity to inform yourself rather than actual research. Claiming that people are "safe" from spreading it to others if they are vaccinated only causes people to spread it more out of ignorance. Claiming that unvaccinated people are endangering the public and spreading it more is also untrue, especially if that person testing regularly and/or wearing a mask.

  9334. Which is exactly your problem. You look up propaganda on the internet instead of scientific studies Let me repeat. Because you obviously didn't pay attention to those blogs... 1. It is completely invalid to take a few hundred murders in a handful of cities and extrapolate that to the 11-12,000 firearm homicides a year. 2. It is sad to somehow believe that a person who is arrested for "possession of drugs" (the most common arrest charge in the US) deserves to be murdered.

  9335.  @antonioj123  My issues against Tulsi hves absolutely nothing to do with Hillary sorry. I had these issues with Tulsi LONG before Hillary even know who she was, let alone her little "drama" with Tulsi that I couldn't care less about. Tulsi clearly wants to capitalize on whatever drama she can get for her own political career. It's nauseating, stop it already. If she cared about issues she would talk about actual issues. She has always been about her and her presidential run, meanwhile Bernie and Warren have consistently focuses on issues instead of just Me Me Me. Tulsi just repeats the same "Regime change wars.....because I'm a veteran" talking point like a damn robot. The fact is she pretended to support M4A then backed away from it. As far as I'm concerned she's just as politically fickle and fake as buttigieg. She's been super conservative in the past and it's only recently that's she's been playing the progressive angle. I can almost bet you that if Bernie or Warren wins, Tulsi will immediately turn conservative.

  9336. 1. Yes are wrong.... The UK (British Home Office) categorizes "violent crime" different than the US (FBI). Which counts things like harassment and sexual offenses as "violent crime". So I don't know what numbers you're using, but it's NOT comparing apples to apples. However "homicides" (the only statistic that matters in this discussion) is in fact 4 TIMES HIGHER in the US than it is in the UK. So yes you are COMPLETELY wrong there.

  9338.  @ChickVicious237  I'm referring to the numerous times that Project Veritas has produced deceptively edited videos that were edited to make it sound like the person being recorded was saying one thing when they were not. These instances were even investigated by the Republican attorney general of Wisconsin and they found that these videos did not show what was being implied. I'm referring to the $100,000 James O'Keefe had to pay and the $50,000 another Project Veritas employee had to pay for faking videos of ACORN. I'm also referring to $10,000 PV offered to get someone to lie about election fraud. If they "uncovered" something about a conservative it was probably because one of their rich donors wanted it. They are nothing more than a propaganda and espionage organization for rich conservatives.

  9341. Kyle is a bit more right, but really you're all fucking wrong. 1. Fran Lebowitz is an idiot. Claiming that Bernie Sanders is a narcissist compared to a woman whose been running for president for two decades is just a moronic statement. You have no policy complaints so you attack a person's character. I was embarrassed for her when I watched that. 2. Bill Maher is right in that there are a lot of liberals (and yes that includes you Kyle) where they make the perfect the enemy of the good. The bottom line is if Hillary Clinton was president we wouldn't be banning Transgender people from the military, exiting the Paris climate accords (we would be talking about investing more in green technology), preventing the EPA from using climate science or using the phrase "climate change", had a muslim ban, we wouldn't cause panic for millions of people by resending DACA, emboldening racists and xenophobes all across this country, waving our dick at North Korea every 5 minutes, a real threat to a repeal of Obamacare which will fucking KILL PEOPLE. So please stop pretending as if Hillary Clinton presidency would be no different, it is fucking moronic. 3. Salaman Rushdie is right in that we really need to stop being obsessed over Clinton vs Sanders and the 2016 primaries. I was a Bernie Supporter before most people even knew who the fuck he was and there is absolutely no evidence to say that Bernie would have magically won the primary if it weren't for those pesky establishment democrats!... The fact is she was way ahead in the primaries before any of that happened and it was for the same reason that Trump was ahead, NAME RECOGNITION. They were both celebrities and people recognized the names. That's why they won the primary. However here you a year later still bitching about it as if there is nothing else going on in the world. You're projecting your own bias in thinking that being a progressive automatically means you will win. Keeping it real, there really isn't any evidence for it. Yeah the polls have shown that people prefer liberal policies for over a decade now, it doesn't magically mean that a progressive can easily to win elections. People vote with their emotions more than their heads. Bitching about the 2016 primary for the next 3 years only plays into Trump's hands. Hate to break it to you but other than Bernie Sanders there is no perfect candidate. If he doesn't run and we get someone else. You'r purity tests are just going to give us a another 4 years of Trump.

  9342. I do know that is Kyle's position, however that is not how it comes across at all.... During the primary and election Kyle spent more time complaining about Hillary than he ever did over Trump. How do you expect a casual viewer to wade through all of that and actually understand his position? Even in this video you would be hard-pressed to know that he would prefer Hillary over Trump. There is still this obsession over Clinton who shouldn't be relevant anymore. No one cared about Mitt Romney after he lost the 2008 primary. If I'm a low information voter and I see little to no complaints on Trump from the right and 50/50 complaints about Trump vs Hillary (and the democratic establishment) from the left then I'm going to be hard pressed to think that anyone in the democratic party is much better than Trump. That's a real danger that we face in the next election. We can spend so much time complaining about every candidate who isn't perfect and we allow Trump to get reelected. Not saying we shouldn't be critical of these people, but we should really keep things in perspective when we are critical.

  9344.  @xuto2693  Umm... There's nothing "crazy" about it. About a dozen studies with thousands of people show that natural immunity is as good or better than the vaccines. In fact a study was just released a couple days ago entitled "Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections" That clearly showed that people with natural immunity have 13 times more protection against the Delta variant than if you're vaccinated. So I find it really odd that people somehow believe they are in danger from people who have more immunity to the variants than they do.... I hate to break it to you but you're far more likely to be hospitalized from Covid than I am. But it obviously it's better to get vaccinated than to contract Covid at all.

It certainly has no bearing on what will happen to me, you, or ANYONE in the future. It's would be a meaningless gesture that would only help a PR campaign to sell more meaningless crap to people like you because you'll "feel better" about the brand.

As did the Ottoman Empure, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, British Empire, etc. If you think this country's success is simply because "we're special" then you probably still believe in Santa Claus.

We used to lead the world in big infrastructure projects (Hoover Dam, Golden Gate, NY had the first subway, the thousands of patents out of NASA, etc.) now we're sadly lagging behind Europe and Asia.

  9366. Completely disagree... For as long as humans have existed people have been fascinated by macabre things. Guess what? A lot of gruesome things happened in and around castles yet we have no problems glorifying them. People still think swords and knights are cool even though they were murder machines. People play Dungeons & Dragons with all sorts of dark and horrible themes. People watch horror movies all the time with people doing horrible things to one another. People dress up as horrible fictional and real people every year on Halloween. If people want to stay in a prison, castle, dungeon, mental hospital, etc. so what? There are plenty of more important things to be outraged about. Influencers taking pictures in a prison hotel is really not one. Also I would argue that more people would learn much more about prisons by something like this than anything else. Unless it's a famous and historic prison like Alcatraz, the likelihood that someone could profitably turn an entire prison into a museum where lots of people would go to is far less likely than if they turned it into a hotel like this.

  9368. What you're witnessing is not a "distortion", it's an inevitability. There has never been a time where the monetary system has been corruption free, disaster free, or free of social stratification leading to the very wealthy (aristocracy) and extreme poor. The reason there are "less savings" is because wealth has been sucked from the "middle class" to the "upper class" who are the best (most well trained) at hoarding money through business practicies and government manipulation.

The rage expressed by that monkey is no different than the rage expressed by most of the people we throw behind prison bars. -TZM

"regessing back" is just being reactionary and makes no sense. It's not like we didn't have huge problems in the past.

  9379. ​ @princea5886  No because there are plenty of circumstances where a pregnancy goes wrong, like in the case of a friend of mine who had to get an abortion due to a genetic disorder that would lead to the baby surviving for a few days in pain before dying. But male morons who have no clue about these situations would rather inject themselves between women and their doctor and pretend they know everything based on their idiotic gut feelings.
    1
  9380.  @princea5886  Apparently my comment got shadow banned. The bottom line is there are various medical reasons someone has a late term abortion. Like my friend who had a problem with her pregnancy and had no other option. However there are lots of people like you (mostly men) who are entirely ignorant of these situations and pretend you know best for other people. These are decisions that should be left up to women, their doctors, and their families. It's literally none of your business.
    1
  9381.  @princea5886  Apparently you haven't learned that there is no clear indication for when a pregnancy is life threatening. If you wait until a mother is actually dying on a table, then you're not doing your job as a doctor. So please stop throwing around that BS as if you're being magnanimous with your authoritarianism. It's the exact same ignorance. Some women, based on medical history and many other factors, may not want to take a risk of leaving their other children behind in a pregnancy. Other women may think the risk is acceptable based on different factors. Even "viability" isn't always straight forward. The bottom line is, it is not YOUR call. So please stay out of other people's business. The idea that you think that waiting to the last minute to terminate a pregnancy is a fun thing for women to do, is absurd and twisted. Do you not understand that NO ONE ever chooses to go through that?
    1
  9382.  @princea5886  Do you not realize that terminating a pregnancy early is FAR cheaper than waiting until the last minute? Ending a pregnancy in the late term cost $8,000 to $15,000. Do you honestly think women have a "financial" reason to do that? Seriously? 😂 Even your reasons for why a woman would do that are absurd. If someone is crazy enough to do that then they probably shouldn't be having kids to begin with. Your logic is like saying people who are against creating laws that make it illegal to bash your head against the wall are in favor of people bashing their heads against the wall. It is complete nonsense. You're not being moral with your positions. You're only virtue signaling. If you want to reduce people terminating their pregnancies, give people sex educations, access to contraception, and economic stability. All things that have been PROVEN. Authoritarianism, controlling women and doctors based on topics you know little about, with no plan to take care of these kids after they are born, is not an answer.

  9383.  @princea5886  Please describe a "financial change" where a sudden $8,000 - $15,000 expense is better option? Never mind the crazy logic that you have, where you somehow think someone who is physically, mentally, or financially incapable of supporting a child should be forced to have one anyway. Because that's a recipe for a great childhood right?.... Sorry, but I can find PLENTY of examples of murder and reasons for murder, but yet you're struggling to find an epidemic of evil women who for no reason at all will wait until the last minute to spend thousands of dollars to terminate their pregnancies. You're struggling to even find a reasonable incentive for anyone to do that and yet you're trying to legislate against it. Again, you're simply the product of marketing slogans from politicians and religious zealots who pretend it's happening everywhere when it's really less than 1% of cases, and when you dig into those cases you realize there are actual medical reasons for it. People aren't doing it for fun.

  9385.  @princea5886  My definition is forming memories based on a sense of self and understanding what self is. Everything else that is a person stems from that. No one remembers anything about being a fetus because that development occurs outside of a person's body. Being "brain dead" is essentially a loss of self with less importance placed on the body. Women, people, families, deserve legal protection from people such as yourself who would take away their agency and intrude into their private matters. I might feel differently and consider other moral implications if there was a huge issue of women casually waiting to terminate their pregnancy after 8 months, but that isn't the case. Late term termination is not something any woman ever takes lightly. The people who are actually being hurt right now are families who actually want children, rape victims, minorities, people with medical issues like cancer, etc. Who is protecting them?

Because of the filibuster (which is not part of the constitution) we are at a time where neither side is willing to compromise on anything.

Non-citizens obtain drivers licenses all the time. So laws requiring a photo id only further disinfranchiize legal citizens. If indeed it exists in "huge amounts" as you cliaim, the question would be Is it right to stop1000 illegals from voting by disenfranchising a 100,000 citizens? Which reminds me of the gun control debate.

  9400.  @exmrsbundycampbell7919  It's not. See the recently peer reviewed study: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK: a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study" The transmission rate is only about a 3rd lower in the same household amongst fully vaccinated individuals compared to fully vaccinated individuals. Why do you think we still wear masks? We knew that the Delta variant transmitted amongst vaccinated people months ago. If you think you cannot spread Covid if you're vaccinated, you're just plain wrong.
    1
  9401.  @exmrsbundycampbell7919  If you READ the study you will see that the authors of the study already summarized their findings and expressed disappointment that vaccinations didn't do much to stop transmission of the virus. This isn't an opinion, it is a fact. Again, we've known this about Delta for a long time. Why do you think countries with far higher vaccination rates than the US experienced the same spike in cases over the summer? I'm not talking about illness and death . I'm talking about TRANSMISSION. The entire point of these mandates was to 1. protect others from transmission (which masks are far better at doing anyway.) 2 Stop the pandemic, which is not happening at this point because it is now endemic. However people have completely forgot what they are advocating, they are just on autopilot... All I'm saying is that advocating that people get fired for not protecting themselves more, or closing schools, and forcing vaccinations on young kids is DUMB politically. You might was outlaw soda, fast food, and alcohol and see how far you get...
    1
  9402.  @exmrsbundycampbell7919  Then why are we forcing people to protect themselves? Again should we bring back prohibition? Ban soda? Just be aware of the political consequences going down this path. It's not a good look.
    1
  9403.  @exmrsbundycampbell7919  Again.... How is that any different than prohibition, banning sodas, banning fast food, etc.? Do you realize how many deaths are caused by all of those things in this country? It's not just about optics, it's also about going as far as letting hundreds if not thousands of people lose their job because you think you know what's best for people... Heck I've had similar arguments with right wingers when it comes to things like abortion and gay marriage. The bottom line is people who go around forcing what they think is best for them on others go down really dark paths without ever realizing it. And politics and optics DO matter, because this elitist attitude and laughing as people get fired for not doing what you want them to do can easily let another fascist slide right into the Whitehouse.

  9404.  @neilmarshall5087  Not sure what link you're referring to but the title of the transmission study is: "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK: a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study" We could have stopped the virus temporarily last year, but we would have always needed a vaccine, let's not pretend that the US is the only country in the world. Let's not pretend that other animals besides humans aren't able to catch the virus. The virus is now endemic, I don't believe there are many scientist who think we are going to stop it. The 1918 pandemic never went away either, it just mutated into a variety of strains, and people eventually got enough immunity to it where it was no longer deadly. The same thing is going to happen here. We can mitigate symptoms and deaths with a vaccine, but eventually everyone is going to get it at some point.

  9418. Kind of hard to be the "party of freedom" when you also advocate for mandatory vaccinations. Not saying you shouldn't advocate for vaccinations or wearing masks indoors, but when you say, "It's up to you" and then a few months later say "you must or get fired" or you're no longer allowed to participate, then it becomes a mixed message that the GOP has undoubtedly capitalized on. It's amazing to me that the left hasn't picked up on that. The GOP is good at rebranding their policies are "freedom" as well. Banning abortion is "the rights of the unborn" and militarism is "protecting our freedoms". These things are certainly not true, but so is turning a vaccine mandate into a message of "freedom", both are nothing more than propaganda.

Now Trump has a record that people hate and most of the population according to the polls wants to vote against him. I don't think Biden is a great candidate or anything, but people have this idea that Trump is somehow unbeatable, while ignoring the fact that he was running against the most vilified woman in the world who was also in the middle of an FBI investigation. Even then he STILL he managed to lose the popular vote. The mid west is no longer with Trump like they were in 2016, they're on to his bullshit now.

It's a shame that you've allowed yourself to feed into the propoganda making our teachers look like they are the scum of the earth. When in fact they are hard working individuals just like everyone else. Google "myths about teacher salaries" People don't go into teaching for the money and benefits. They go into private sector jobs for that.

Ultimate control over a nations currency should be driven by the needs of the people not private hands who manipulate nations for profit. watch?v=HfpO-WBz_mw 2. You use "force" carelessly. Is it "force" to keep people from driving drunk? Any society that has EVER existed is based on the idea "social contract" or the trade offs that individuals make for other benefits and protections. This is why your logic is completely without merit.

  9435. The bottom line is this country needs to get away from the sick "revenge" mentality. Getting revenge, punishing people and kids because the crime is heinous or throwing people in jail because you don't like the idea of drug use. Does nothing to improve society. People need to objectively deal with abberrant behavior in society and come up with intelligent ways of mitigating the behavior instead of settling it solely based on an emotional sense of "justice".

And being called names here and there is not the same as being associated with a stereotype. However at the same time you can identify being called "White" as an insult which is something that would not occur to many people who would it see it as nothing more than a description. The point is... your perspective and how you see the world is everything.

  9443. Pedophilia has been going on in the Catholic Church all over the world for many decades Genius, literally 50 years of documented cases involving 3,000 priests, long before the current pope even got there. The reason you focus on the "Catholic Church" is because it's obviously a systemic issue in that organization. This is completely different than (literally) a few bad actors. If you don't understand the difference between those two things then you are the moron here.
    1
  9444. Again, pedophilia in the Catholic Church is many times greater than anywhere else. It isn't about what the religion teaches, it's about a long history of celibate men who were put in charge of young boys and the organization who spent decades protecting those men. If you weren't so painfully ignorant you would understand that, but no you would rather be a political hack and talk about "Hollywood" as if there is some kind of equivalency when there isn't. Catholic practices are a part of Catholicism it is perfectly reasonable to criticize when those practices and institutions created a haven for pedophiles. Stop pretending you give a shit about this issue when all you care about is being a political hack
    1
  9445. "Hollywood isnt a haven for Harvey Weinsteins and hundreds of other powerful men who prey on thousands of women? " We were talking about pedophilia dumb ass.... And last I checked "Harvey Weinstein" isn't somehow equivalent to over 10,000 documented cases of sexual child abuse by priests in the catholic church. You can always tell a political hack when they take facts and deflect with something completely unrelated.... The reason you constantly say stupid shit is because you're more interested in "getting points" on the other side instead of actually addressing an issue. So why don't you stop saying stupid shit for once and actually educate yourself on the issues instead finding something to "blame the other side for" like a piece of shit political hack? Instead of saying "Hey what about this over here?!" or "What-About-ism", DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT instead of using an issue as a stage to attack "people on the left" WHY DON'T YOU ATTACK THE PEOPLE WHO DID IT? But no you really don't care about the issue, you care about political games. This is why you're a damn hack..... I'm glad Cosby was put away, I hope Weinstein pays for all his crimes, I ALSO want the catholic church to address pedophile within it's organization, sexual abuse of children is put to an end, and all of the priests who committed the crimes or covered them up are held to account.

  9448. I kind of agree with Ana on this..... There is an imperceptible line between choice and indoctrination. We're all products of our culture. The reason Ana likes heels is really cultural at the end of the day. We've associated heels with femininity even though they were originally invented for men (soldiers and then aristocrats). I've always found it odd that "pierced ears" are so accepted and common, people even pierce their babies ears when in any other context it would be considered child abuse to impale your child just to hang metal trinkets on them. But since it is so culturally acceptable we don't even think about it. It's probably very similar to the Burka... Looks odd from the outside, but if you've grown up in a culture where that's just the way it is, you probably don't think twice about it. Some probably even see lots of benefits of not having to spend hours on hair and make up like western women do.

  9449. It's not "questionable" at all...

Governments don't suddenly turn "evil" they get corrupted over time and it is completely idiotic to think that you and your little gun is going to somehow take on the most powerful military in the history of man... Violence only empowers tyranny. As it did for the USSR, Israeli/Palestine, IRA, etc. Democracy and egalitarianism are antithetical to tyranny. Waving your gun around talking tough doesn't fix shit.

Suddenly they trust technology (a gun) for safety when scared. Yet ignore science when it comes to climate change and evolution...

Then turn around and blame this mans actions on Asian racism without waiting for the details to come out...

I just think the Left is jumping the shark on this one.

The fact is German citizens (and most europeans) live under stricter gun regulations today then they did during WWII. Do Germans feel more oppressed today than they did under Hitler? Do you think the National Firearms Act made ANY difference to blacks living in the south? Of course not. So stop believing that BS propoganda.

  9459. Sure Sure.... Skip right over the smooth confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and pretend to be outraged by the not smooth confirmation of a guy sexually assaulting his high school classmates and throwing a tantrum when being questioned about it.

Why is that? 🤔 Also why are you trying to claim that someone who is non-white or gay can't be a fascist? People consider Rodrigo Duterte and Kim Jung Un fascists. You don't need to be white or heterosexual to be a fascist. You only need a desire to use authoritarianism to enforce an ideology or the will of the state over the will of people. Which is why people are concerned when Trump identifies with people like Kim Jung Un, Putin, and Duterte.... Then openly commits crimes, lies to the american people to protect himself and his loyalists, steals money for the military, and creates concentration camps on the border.

We've lost the ability to discuss nuance in this country and it's a pretty sad thing to see. I do think there are more issues with RFK than anything positive but in this political climate it's almost impossible to navigate that.

However because of that there was an injustice done to Manning that are a constant reminder of the very injustices and atrocities commited by people in the US government. Those crimes have never been answered for. Now Bradley Manning has become a symbol for people to rally behind and speak out against those crimes and injustices and the horror that our county has become.

Fun times we're living in, eh?

  9475. I stopped caring about undecided voters years ago. It used to mean something decades ago when people ran more on policy, now it's just a substitute for "ignorant voter". No one should take these people seriously. Either they're partisan plants pretending to be undecided or they're dumb people entirely clueless. Why would you ask people with a vague idea on politics for their vague ideas on why they would vote for anyone? They offer absolutely nothing meaningful to the election.
    1
  9476. @ggadguy It doesn't take away from the fact that it's a policy that helps a small minority gain more power and influence at the expense of others. There is a reason why every industrialized nation has a progressive tax structure. I suggest you look into those reasons as well as how it has helped society at all income levels immeasurably instead of relying on "gut feelings" and simplistic notions of fairness. The plutacracy uses those tricks to fool the masses into giving them more power.

  9488. I'm honestly shocked and disappointed that you think this is the first time Obama has said this... In 2008 (yes 15 years ago) people got angry when Obama made the following statement when talking about how job losses during the 2008 recession was effecting Midwest working class voters: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." This was never a secret and I have no idea what "debate" you're talking about. It's been well known since Nazi Germany that economic problems causes people to turn tribal and xenophobic. I've got plenty of problems with Obama, but the idea that he could have waved his hand and gotten Medicare For All or a UBI in the political climate 15 years ago is pretty effing absurd. There were like 10 Joe Manchins in the Senate back then and a couple dozen "Blue Dog Democrats" in the House.

The difference between cars, lightbulbs, computers and other technology is that people already understood their potential which is why a lot of people around the world started building them... You didn't have a single guy who knows nothing about infrastructure claim he can revolutionize all forms of travel and not provide a shred of evidence for doing so. We already have efficient electric vehicles traveling through tunnels. They're called "subways".

It's interesting that you consider this "a debate". It really speaks to your intellectual dishonesty... You're more interested in being "right" than the truth or facts.

Don't make tge mistake of ignoring the bloody history of the Catholic Church and the cover up of pedophilia still going on today.

  9492. I can't stand Trump or the Republican platform, but that WAS a weird question, and I can understand why she walked out of that interview. If someone was doing an interview with AOC and started going on about "your boy Biden" and pretended that she automatically agreed with everything that Biden has ever said or done it would be just as ridiculous. Also, a reporter asking a weird gotcha question is not the same as grabbing woman's genitals. I have no idea where that non-sequitur came from. You guys really need to call a spade a spade instead of falling into BS partisan nonsense

  9494.  @Asguard82  He can ask all sorts of questions to understand her position and give her a chance to separate herself from Trump and his positions. Saying "your boy Trump" has absolutely nothing to do with that. He starts off with a bias statement meant to set her up from the start. I'm shocked that this isn't obvious to everyone. It would be like if Maduro from Venezuela said something good about Bernie Sanders and someone on Fox News started off the interview with "Your boy Maduro".
    1
  9495.  @Asguard82  Which is why the first example I gave was Biden and AOC. You can't pretend that AOC supports everything Biden has ever said or done over the past 40 years simply because he is currently the president. And you wouldn't start a question with "Your boy Biden".

  9496. @amaqula "These were all defensive in nature" LOL... please. Yeah they TORTURED prople in self defense. The Thirty Years War and Crusades alone killed 20 MILLION PEOPLE. "Communisim" didn't kill people. Dictactors killed people. The same as if a terrorist used a religion as an excuse to kill losts of people. However the Catholich church is a singular organization created by Roman Empire. The MILLIONS of deaths are a result of that organization weilding it's power and influence.

There are hundreds of published studies on this subject online, but if your attitude is to completely ignore evidence and the scientific process then you are no longer acting on reason you're acting out of a religious crusade. Not all "faith" has to do with the bible. People have a way of latching onto all sorts of irrational beliefs and when facts come along that challenge those beliefs they just look for excuses to keep believing.

However unless you live under an f*cking rock you would know that the way they brand themselves is being AGAINST the mainstream media. Especially their pundits who repeat this over and over. So by repeating the framing of people like Tucker Carlson and Fox, without qualifying it, you're essentially signaling that you agree with their messaging. Nearly all the conservatives who watch Tucker Carlson, Newsmax, OAN do not think they are watching "mainstream media" or "the media" and they think they are smarter by watching these people who they think are "outsiders" but actually lie to them more often than CNN. Do you not understand that or do I need to spell this out for you 3rd time? Christ why are people this gd dense over something so simple.

  9507. I think you're just being reactionary about the Fake News Ombudsman because of your profession.... Honestly you're making the same arguments that republicans make about Single Payer, etc. That somehow any government regulations will mean "overreach". There's no rational behind that argument and the fact is the government has been regulating radio, TV, etc. literally for decades. There's a reason why you can't just broadcast porn or swear on prime-time television. There's a reason why you can't just steal other people's content or libel or slander people as well. The fact that it is hard to prove slander and people don't go around openly slandering people means that the regulations are working right? Lastly, the UK has far more regulations on broadcast content than we do in the US, they even have state run media, and the news is far better and far more accurate than in the US. You can't have democracy without an educated populace and if fake news becomes so bad that people don't know what is right or wrong anymore, don't be surprised if we elect another Trump.

  9508. As if we haven't had decades of straight superheroes hooking up with women/men.... As soon as a superhero is introduced they introduce a woman/man for that character to hook up with, either immediately or eventually. Kyle is right, if you actually didn't care about the sexuality of fictional superheroes then you wouldn't be on Fox News talking about it. I don't care about the sexuality of superheroes in the same way that I don't care about romance comedies. So it really doesn't matter to me. Although I must admit they are doing a pretty good job with Superman & Lois CW show. I wasn't planning to watch the show because I really don't care about Superman's marriage, but the writing has been pretty good.

Not even questioning the exact reasons for why he was fired and simply going "yay Trump!" is pretty damn sad. If Obama or Clinton had fired the people investigating and/or planning to testify against them, you people would be losing your shit over it and you know it.... It's funny how just over a year ago you people were cheering the FBI for investigating Clinton and even chanting to "lock her up", but the exact same people now investigating Trump are suddenly "corrupt" and "the swamp"? Really? Do you people not realize how easily this channel manipulates you?

  9516. Kimberly Markuson, Again, tell me what "perjury" did McCabe commit exactly? You people have trouble with basic facts and comprehension.

  9518. People have already died listening to Trump's advice on hydroxychloroquine. Why would you pretend that it's somehow "mixed" when all the studies that we do have all point to hydroxychloroquine killing more people than helping? It's one thing if some dude decides to take some unproven medicine, but when the POTUS says something a lot of people will trust that and you could see hundreds of people die because they decided to listen to the president.

  9519. 1. So then you admit that humans do indeed share in this ecosystem. 2. There are many effects from invasive insects, fish, rodents, plants, etc. that are also seen as damaging to ecosystems as well. I'm not making any excuses. Just telling you the facts. I see no point in emotional guilt based arguments. The planet will be fine. The question is whether the planet can comfortably sustain the life forms we care about.

  9522. Over a decade ago TYT used to complain about politicians and media using polling to determine how they should cover issues. That it was bad to always land on a middle position not matter the extremes. Cenk literally railed against a poll where people thought Iraq had something to with 911. Now it seems that this fake centrism is all they do these days. Francesca is right, being a progressive doesn't mean you're only in favor of what is politically popular. It also doesn't mean that "trans women in sports" needs to be the top priority on the democratic platform, but as a progressive you shouldn't use right wing framing to dogpile on women and trans women who are already the most vulnerable and victimized in our society.

  9524. @cupocity303 Not anecdotal. Just go to the US Patent website and look at the number of patents by "independent inventors" compared to the total patents filed. You'll see it's just a small fraction of the total. Corporations file and own more patents than any "person". If you come up with an idea in the process of working at a company, THE COMPANY owns that idea, not YOU. The american dream is something that's been packaged and SOLD to you. It's time for you to wake up.

Your arguments don't sound any different than those for maintaining segragation in the south. It is discrimination plain and simple. New Yorkers overwhelmingly supported the project. It only became a national issue because of conservative bloggers and Fox News and GOP politicians. In other words it is only "sensitive" to those that don't actually live in NY...

  9527. @megagagnon1 Which is why WI should raise taxes like they did in IL. It will be interesting to see who comes out ahead... My guess is IL. You don't fix a deficit by lowering corporate taxes. You don't fix a failing middle class by cutting it's pay. Money ALWAYS has a much higher multiplier in the economy when it goes to the poor vs weathly. Cutting taxes doesn't magically create jobs, you need to create demand and paying customers first and that starts with building up the middle class.

You're just blindly following propoganda that wants to use "big government" to rig elections and suppress voters.

Also whims of profit motive & corruption which continued slavery, let millions be poisoned, starts wars, created the Fed, controls monetary policy & our elections.

Making a conscious choice to "use contraception" so that you don't have children or "choosing beer" instead of drinking water is irrelevant to the underlying mechanism. Understand?

We left because of DEMOCRACY. People began protesting the war and eventually public sentiment pushed politicians to END THE WARS.

  9553. I don't know what Jimmy has been saying, but the transmissibility of the virus in vaccinated households has already been tested and they found that it was only a 30% reduction in transmission and that reduces if you were vaccinated over two months ago. They found that the viral loads were nearly identical with someone who is unvaccinated, and the main reason transmissibility was reduced in the vaccinated groups, was because the virus stays longer in someone who is unvaccinated. It's not unreasonable to discuss this in the context of having different public rules for vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Males transmit the virus roughly 30% more than females and yet we don't have different rules for men in public.
    1
  9554.  @Junebug89  You actually can spread it. Saying that it doesn't protect people is not true but saying that you cannot spread the virus if you are vaccinated is also untrue. The vaccines were never created to stop transmission, only to keep people from dying. There are clear studies showing that people can still transmit the virus such as the one I was referring to below which shows only a 30% reduction in transmission at most. This is why we still have to wear masks indoors in public spaces. People need to stop pretending as if vaccines don't work and they also need to stop pretending that vaccines cure all problems. The answer to Jimmy ignoring science isn't to ignore science yourself. "Community transmission and viral load kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in the UK"

In fact the Nazis were the ones who threw the spray can at him in the first place. No the racist wasn't protecting anyone... He just got mad at the black man, called him a racial slur, fired his gun blindly in that direction and walked away. If you are actually protecting people you would stand there until people are safe. Like the black guy was doing when he was keeping the angry mob of nazis away from the elderly protesters.

  9557. Personally I don't care about Iran's nuclear ambitions... Israel started it so if they are indeed persuing nukes, it's obvious that they are just responding in kind. However, I'm curious to the responses from the Real News analysts that claimed that it was against Islamic law and that the Supreme Leader woudn't allow it even if Ahmedinijad wanted it. So I'm curious to know what they say now... Were they just wrong? or Is the CIA intelligence wrong? What is the REAL NEWS?....

Our oligarchy pushes "our government" into supporting wars for oil, subsidies for production, deregulation, pushing propoganda against green energy in the media.

They invested in post offices, roads, exploration, public schools/colleges, a patent system, & tariffs to protect american industry. NASA, grants, & other investments Inspired a nation ushering in the "space age". Along with Stanford University this created many public/private innovations leading to "Silicon Valley".

  9570. "Freedom of Religion" has ALWAYS been about an INDIVIDUALS right to practice their religion. It does not mean a organization has to the right to impose it's beliefs on an individual. Republicans forget that "Rights" in this country are to protect individuals not for organizations to apply thier beliefs restrictions on others. Whether a person uses contraception is used or not is a personal choice according to their individual beliefs. That is what "freedom" is about.

  9571. I'd say that market economies have been good at distributing labor and resources.

  9594. Saying lab leak over and over for the past 2 years isn't a "theory". It's an uneducated guess based on nothing more than having a lab in Wuhan. It's the same dumb logic of saying "fire fighters start fires" because they're nearby places where fires start. A few months into the pandemic I remember seeing an article written from a scientist who worked at that lab who was concerned about a potential for a leak, looked into it, and she found nothing that would support the virus coming from that lab. There hasn't been any "patient zero" from that lab, no viruses sequenced at that lab that have any resemblance to SARS Cov-2. All you have is a bunch of uneducated people pretending that Covid 19 came from a lab simply because there was a lab in Wuhan, because they need a simplistic cause and specific people to blame and point fingers at. Meanwhile the closest relatives to SARS Cov-2 were actually found in the wild in Laos which is something that is NEVER MENTIONED on Rising.

I assume you were just as concerned with the guy mailing bombs to people or the people planning mass shootings. I assume you were disgusted that Trump pulled funding from domestic terrorism prevention efforts and canceled the grant to a group countering violent extremism from white supremacist groups. I assume you also care about the attacks against gays, transsexuals, minorities, etc. that have left them hospitalized. The violence against trans-people is currently an epidemic an a dozen people have already been murdered this year. If you're not even more upset by these cases you can spare me your righteous indignation.

  9601. Sorry Kyle, but people like Manchin don't give a sh!t about a spot in Biden's administration. Manchin is not some young up and coming politician like Buttigieg 😂 All Manchin wants is to make Biden compromise for his corporate donors and for his own businesses. THAT'S IT. You're naïve if you think that Manchin is a normal politician motivated by actually delivering something for his constituents. Furthermore Biden has no real power to just hand over infrastructure money to West Virginia, that's not how this works... Manchin has more control over getting pork than Biden does because he's a part of negotiating these bills. The only thing Biden can do is to go negative against Manchin and I'm not sure if that will work out for Biden, because Manchin could just use it for his own benefit by making himself out to be the "maverick" who bucks his own party. That's what Manchin wants anyway.

  9602.  @johnny-qx6it  Well that's why Bernie made his plea to Trump... Easier to change the mind of one person who has nothing to lose, vs McConnell and hundreds of Republicans in Congress. I seriously don't know what the alternative is here. The Democrats already added 2K to the bill and the Republicans blocked it.... Do you think it would be somehow easier to negotiate a complete reversal of everything that was agreed upon? We could spend weeks more renegotiating something while lots of people around the country go homeless, or we could get by with what we have and try for more. The choice SUCKS and we could yell and scream all day about it, but at the end of the day I really don't know what else to do here. Trump changes his mind from day to day. So it's not a bad strategy to try to convince him to get by with what we have. Trump has no control over McConnell and the Senate. So he can demand all he wants, but if the GOP are not on board, there is nothing we can do.
    1
  9603.  @herbertshallcross9775  Do you not realize that the very politicians who need to VOTE on any bill included that "pork" to begin with? Again, do you somehow think that this is a negotiation is between Trump and the Bernie Sanders and there isn't a couple hundred Republicans in the House and a whole Republican controlled Senate run by Mitch McConnell involved?
    1
  9604.  @johnny-qx6it  You're not wrong, but at the same time the Senate doesn't want a bill with just 2K cash payments either. So where does that leave you? Again it's easier to change the mind of one person than it is to change the minds of 50 GOP Senators and Mitch McConnell. The Senate Republicans are not going to do what a lame duck president wants when they made it perfectly clear FOR MONTHS NOW that they don't want more individual aid. Talking about what Senate Republicans "could do" if they were entirely different people is pretty irrelevant. Yes it's BS, but it's where we are.... And yelling at Sanders as if he can wave a magic wand to get what he really wants doesn't change that one bit.

  9605.  @chelihawk  Yeah because a guy who pushed though a heart attack and kept on campaigning for the working class for months and has been out there every week trying to get more money to working people even though he should be retired "doesn't care". You people are unbelievable.

  9606.  @herbertshallcross9775  Bernie Sanders has not abandoned his original position. What the hell is wrong with you people? THE DEMOCRATS JUST ADDED $2,000 TO THE BILL AND THE GOP BLOCKED IT! Do you not effing get that? What do you expect people to do? Not pass anything? Let families go homeless? What exactly do you expect Sanders to do? You people are nothing more than children. Sander has been fighting for MONTHS to get more money to people. People can't just wave a magic wand and get everything they want. Grow the hell up.
    1
  9607.  @johnny-qx6it  And Trump just signed the bill... I told you he was fickle. Trump will change his mind in a heart beat. If Trump REALLY wanted $2000 checks he would have gotten the GOP on board before the negotiations started, but he didn't. He says a bunch of BS in public to get attention, but behind the scenes he couldn't care less. The real test is to see if Trump will push for $2000 checks in another bill. I'm not holding my breath, but if he ACTUALLY cares (instead of just putting on a show) he will do so immediately. My guess is that he will just say he will get people checks if he can stay president.

  9608. @youngbuck189 Woman's sufferage, apartheid s. africa, the many labor movements throughout US history.. In fact ALL LEGISLATION in a functioning democracy is based on non-violence. I've given plenty of examples where violence hasn't worked and non violence does, where are YOUR examples where violence has "always worked"? People condoning violence are like the Military Industrial Complex... they are just looking for an excuse to blow shit up regardless of whether it's effective or not.

"Nuance" is understanding the definition of the word "socialism" and not just the propaganda you're fed from tallk shows and blogs, "Nuance" is understanding that our government (and every democracy in the world) has ALWAYS been a mix of socialism and privatism. "Nuance" is actually understanding the cost/benefits of a specific policy. "Nuance" is knowing the facts of the world not some simplistic bullshit that the "gubment is out to get you" as if it were some living thinking thing.

However promoting negative emotions is never helpful to a family, society, or nation. Fear/distrust stem from one thing... "Ignorance". If you're ignorant of something you're more likely to fear/distrust it. Seeing people fear/distrust a race is just as silly as seeing my dog run away from the vacuum cleaner.

It was clear from the segment that the kids themselves DID NOT have a problem with the game.

  9619. Your mistake is thinking that a country operates like your bank account. China ALSO has a huge deficit, one that will grow by 50% this year. Again, the German government spends far more (as a % of GDP) than the US. Taxes are also much higher. Tarrifs & the US trade deficit with China is a big reason for China's export boom at the expense of US manufacturing. Investments that expand the economy are smart. Doing nothing except "cutting" is idiotic. This is why austerity is failing everywhere.

  9623.  @tonysmith6967  Get back to me when Tulsi has an actual proposal to defund the pentagon. Otherwise it's just lip service... AOC talks about foreign policy when it comes to funding the actual programs she's been proposing all this time (Green New Deal, Medicare for all, etc.). She says we can take the money spent on endless war to help people in this country. You see it's tied to an actual policy and priority. That's the difference... Let me know when Tulsi has an actual plan of some kind on the table. It's easy to say "war is bad" or "what the other guy did was bad". Tell me HOW you plan on putting that idea to ACTION.... Otherwise it's just lip service that isn't much different than what Sanders, Warren, AOC, and a few others have said. Obama also did a lot of lip service when it came to war. I'm not interested in lip service anymore. Although he did say he was going to close Gitmo, which never happened.
    1
  9624.  @tonysmith6967  Okay, that is "something."... However there's still no action on reducing or eliminating the military industrial complex which is supposed to be her main issue....right? AOC literally just got there so you're comparing a bill someone introduced after being in congress for over 3 years vs someone whose been there for 3 months.... Furthermore AOC and Bernie Sanders are working on the Green New Deal. It's far more comprehensive and massive than what Tulsi proposed and it's going to require a LOT of support, as well as an election to get passed. Think about it... Why do you even know about the Green New Deal? Why do you think it's something that everyone has been talking about? Why do you think Pelosi and others have been putting together panels to work on it and discuss it? Because AOC along with Sanders have been effective at branding, getting the message out, and gathering support. I'm not up AOC's ass. To be honest I wasn't on the AOC train until very recently, but I had to admit that she's been far more effective than I ever imagined and she's using that spotlight to highlight the most progressive ideas and polices. Meanwhile no one knows or gives a shit about the "Off Fuel Act". I hate to be blunt, but it is what it is. If you can't gather support for your cause or rally the country and congress behind it, then your idea is dead. Yes I know Medicare for all was Sander's idea. He's been talking about this concept LONG before he decided to run for president. Which is why Sander's won my vote over a decade ago. I want leaders for progressive ideas not someone jumping on the bandwagon and then deciding to run for president after a couple years in congress. DEMONSTRATE that you have what it takes to actually get your ideas through Congress as Bernie, Warren have done, as AOC is now doing. Again look at Tulsi Gabbard's twitter feed and you'll see it's mostly about fundraising and running for presidential. Look at Sanders, AOC, Warren, etc. feed and it's mostly about the ISSUES.

  9627.  Borko Borko  I understand bigotry very well and I always find it hilarious when someone tries to use logic to justify their bigotry. 😂 First off bride kidnappings are not legal in Islamic law. Nor is it legal in the few countries that it is still known to happen. Nor is it something that is common nor accepted. Even European countries have had cases of bride kidnapping. You're taking a single factoid of a rare occurrence and pretending that somehow all immigrants want to kidnap women as brides in other countries. That's how bigotry works. You purposely amplify bad stories and pretend it's the mindset of an entire group. Wearing a burqa could be oppression or freedom of expression it doesn't automatically fall in either one of those categories. Which is why there is still discussion and debate over it. Either way someone's clothes doesn't impact you. However never mind the fact that Christianity has also been used to oppress women all over the world... Sorry, but the only hate and misunderstanding comes from people like you who want to use your hate to oppress others. It's a trash ideology that should not be spread.

  9628.  Borko Borko  You shouldn't pretend that you know what's best for people. Everyone has the agency and will to know what is in their best interest. They don't need people like you to bestow their judgement on how they should live. Yes people all over the world and throughout history have been exploited by large corporations. We live in a society where nearly everyone is exploited to some degree. However there are worse things than exploitation. The only illusion are people who falsely think that multiculturalism isn't something that they've already benefited from for centuries. Every time you go to a grocery store, practice algebra , or turn on your phone you've benefited from multiculturalism in some way or another. So stop fooling yourself into thinking otherwise.

I think you underestimate name recognition, nostalgia for Obama, and the fact that the establishment is going to be behind Biden more than anyone. You also underestimate how good of a politician Biden is, he's been in the game for decades and there's a reason for that. Kamala Harris falls apart on stage because she's not used to it. Ultimately I think (hope) that Bernie will take the nomination, but don't underestimate how much the media is going to be behind Biden.

It all depends on how much money your friends and neighbors have. When you live in constant inequality very few people are actually happy.

Which is exactly what Shuster is doing here, namely repeating propaganda there has never been any evidence for. Whereas numerous white supremacist groups and literal Nazis have been pledging their support for Trump for many years. Conflating those two things on any level is a lie.

Just like the Tea Party pushed the GOP into inaction and inaction in Congress. The Occupy movement represents the will of the people and it is the job of CONGRESS to legislate it,

  9660. How many combinations of "adult woman speaking" are actually that unique?

However Scarlett Johansson was just speaking as a normal woman and I'm sure lots of women sound similar. So where's the line exactly?...
    1
  9661.  @obi-ron  That's why I gave examples of Darth Vader and the Joker being unique... Did you read my comment? My question is how unique does something need to be in order to qualify? ScarJo is not the first woman to play an AI voice in a movie or a TV show. Heck you can find plenty of examples that sound similar to her going back 60 years for TV shows and movies.

  9662.  @obi-ron  in this case they got a voice actor, who they paid, who just sounded similar to ScarJo... Yes, the problem with all technology is that it is often used to cut costs. This has been going on for centuries now and certainly since the industrial revolution. To me this is a problem with our whole economic system that divides everyone into those who need to work and those who own the work. Exploitation has always been built into our economics, which is why slavery lasted so long.

However I could easily replenish the energy in batteries with some solar panels, a wind turbine, nuclear plant, etc. However when it comes to fossil fuels you can only refine the energy that took millions of years to create. So from that standpoint fossil fuels are not efficient they are simply convenient because time and geological pressure did the work of producing that energy in the first place.

  9677. @luvcheney1 Capitalism is NOT democracy. Capitalism was never democratic for the millions of slaves in the Americas, nor all the civlizations destroyed by imperialsim, or children in sweatshops, or the innocents killed in wars for gold, oil, etc. Only the oligarchs beneift from the "ilusion of democracy" in order to control the politcal process. However it has NEVER been democratic because of the alienation between the buyer & producer. Democracy is created by PEOPLE not by any one system.

  9678. How exactly was it "proven" that the Clinton Foundation was "massively corrupt"?..... Was the Clinton Foundation shut down for "self dealing" like the Trump Foundation was? Were the Clintons buying themselves self portraits, sports memorabilia, or using charity money to pay fines on their businesses? Wow... It really just amazes me how rational you seem on some issues but not at all when it comes to Clinton. Not saying that Clinton was great or anything, or that there was never a potential for corruption there, but your bias is pretty amazing. You can just completely discount everything related to Russia & Trump, yet somehow decree that the Clinton Foundation guilty based on pure conjecture. Trump can literally pocket is own Charity money, use his campaign to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to his businesses, use his presidency to funnel millions to himself and his family and yet apparently that's the same as "suspicions" over the Clinton Foundation.

John is apparently unable to have what's called a "conversation" Many people are uncomfortable with the topic of slavery so they cope with their emotional reaction by getting needlessly defensive. Hence the verbal diarrhea... I watched Django last night because of all the buzz. It was an OK movie, funny/entertaining, but really stupid. The fact that a Tarintino movie has created a hot debate is rather sad IMO... It would be pathetic if it actually won some award because of the hype.

  9682. I think this will be a failure for a variety of reasons, like the fact that wildlife would be completely cut off... That said: 1. obviously a "line" is far more efficient for transit than a circular city which always requires switching trains. 2. There are tons of big cities that are not around big bodies of fresh water... UAE is notorious for building where there isn't fresh water. See Dubai. 3. I'm sure the costs would be astronomical, but I'm pretty sure that multiplying skyscrapers that are built inside of an existing city is not how you get to that cost. 😅

  9683. So in other words you want "lip service" in order to make you feel better about something completely unrelated to you that happened well before you were alive. The difference is that Bush was responsible for those deaths. Whereas Hugo Boss (the brand) was not, especially those at the company now who weren't even alive then. I prefer things that actually matter.... Not empty symbolism because you choose to be butt hurt over things that happened in another country 70 years ago.

Not really because depending on where you live you got a shit ton of rules to follow. You don't really own shit.

" Then I would start a publishing company and make lots of money being able to corner the market on progressive books. You're not making a real argument here. Same thing could be said about newspapers, radio, television, pretty much every source of information ever created. No one is somehow entitled to be published or be on TV, or be on the radio, or have an op-ed in any newspaper they want. You're just pretending that this one person is somehow entitled to make millions from books. It's absurd.

  9700. As a staunch progressive I've been really disappointed with progressives and people on the left falling into the culture war nonsense over vaccines. Recommend the vaccine, talk about the science of vaccines, but as soon as people started advocating for mandates, litmus tests over what information can be discussed, school closures, and celebrating people getting fired for not wanting to get a vaccine, I knew there was bound to be a backlash. Yes there are right wing nut jobs that think vaccines are killing or tracking people, but the response from the left has been almost as absurd in some cases.

See the video: "Starlink: Busted" He has done good with Tesla (which was also highly subsidized by the US government in the beginning), but the amount of people who fall for the guys constant PR stunts is unbearable. He prays upon people's dreams for self promotion. All so he can drums up buzz for potential investors. He's a lot like Trump in that way.

But here comes the "objective left" to the GOP's rescue to pretend that anything to do with Hunter Biden will be anywhere near as corrupt as Trump, Ivanka, and Jared. I'm sure Biden will do a press conference next to Xi talking about how China's intelligence is much better than US intelligence and how he couldn't possibly believe they would interfere with our elections.

Which is counter-productive and is "cutting off your nose to spite your face", because the Washington corporatocracy *ONLY* cuts things when it increases corporate power and weakens the middle class.

  9717. @TheKingIsHereable IMy understanding is that most food related problems today are economic. North/South Korea are perfect examples of that. Food used to be our primary activity. Most of our time was spent hunting, gathering, growing, and preparing food. Now that activity has been replaced by other jobs. People leave rural areas for cities and producing food becomes less and less economical. Things could be very different If those forces were put towards sustainability instead of scale.

  9718. Perhaps when you grow up you'll realize it has nothing to do with being "lazy". Government is the foundation for which society is based upon. There would be no "private sector" or "money" without government. Secondly "authoritarianism" is not based on left or right. Throughout history authoritarianism has come from the so called "right" & "left". Perhaps one day you'll realize that left/right is simply a bullshit illusion and that mindlessly cheerleading for a team only diminishes yourself.

Whether that's through legislation or public discourse. I'm far more trusting of people like Bernie Sanders and Elisabeth Warren who have already spent years/decades being a voice pushing polices that benefit the country.

  9730. Again.... I don't see why people don't understand the fundamental problem with these so called "studies". Universal basic income is not the same as giving 120 people money. We already know what happens when you give a subset of the population money, we do that today with unemployment, social security, disability, etc. What we don't know is what happens economically when you give the ENTIRE population that same income and effectively changing the baseline for the economy. That's what "universal" means, duh. "Universal" is not 120 people. When we have a "universal" basic income we don't know what will happen with housing prices, etc. when suddenly the base becomes $1,400 (or whatever) instead of zero. The Alaska dividend is the equivalent of a year end bonus, it is not an "income" by any stretch. So people aren't planning their monthly budget based on the Alaska Dividend.

There is no government action involved what so ever, because the government doesn't run sports. No different than the government deciding on "sexy M&Ms". It is culture war issue made up by the right wing. TYT took the bait, as they often do these days, and platformed and legitimized it as an issue. The answer is: "who cares? private sports organizations set their own rules". The answer is not: "OMG! how could far left activist believe something so crazy!" Then get used by the right as propaganda against your own supporters. You don't volunteer to fight meaningless battles using right wing framing.

Let's be honest, if you're vaccinated then what difference does it make if other people around you are vaccinated or not? That's the whole point of a person getting vaccinated.... A vaccine passport is nothing more than an idea to force more people to get vaccinated, it has nothing to do with businesses or personal safety. I'm not saying that everyone should be against it, but people need to be honest about what the policy is about.

I wouldn't doubt that Ana might have some bias in favor of Armenians, just like most US media has a bias towards US policy, but that's not what this video is about. So you bringing up a segment she did like 8-9 months ago as if it is relevant to this video, is rather strange.... Maybe you should comment on those videos instead of bringing up completely unrelated topics in this video that are based on something you're responding to from 9 months ago.

  9739.  @michaelbarquero6079  So your definition of a "bubble" is one woman's opinion on a single story? If Ana surrounded herself with people who agreed with her and went on a series of debates to prove that she was right on this issue, then you might have a point. However by your own admission Cenk disagreed with her which disproves the idea that she is in a "bubble" now doesn't it? There have been lots of things I've disagreed with Ana on, even things I've disagreed with Cenk on. However I've never felt the need to voice those disagreements 9 months later on subsequent videos that are completely unrelated to the topic... The fact that you do just seems pretty crazy to me. It's kind of obsessive and perhaps a bit compulsive especially if this is something you feel compelled to do over and over months later. It's okay to disagree on something, but at some point you need to move on... Especially on a topic that is nowhere close to being the focus of the show.

I think most people (including libertarians) when presented with evidence on specific issues, they make logical choices. Most really don't want anarchy. The problem is our political discourse is set up around opinions, parties, & ideologies instead of facts.

You are not a federal judge... You were elected to make laws. So to pretend that you have some kind of jurisdiction to decide what is legal in another state means you are NOT a "moderate". You're just another crazy right winger pretending to be "moderate" so you can brand yourself.

  9758.  @chrlpolk  Can you point to anything specific? The idea that businesses are going to stop making money because of a tax is almost always bs. Businesses are going to hire more employees if they can make more money with additional employees. $9,500 is almost nothing compared to what large companies already pays for employees and basic benefits. Hardly any business is going to turn down expanding their business. They would already be making that calculation based on the thousands that companies pay in insurance and other benefits to each employee already. Furthermore even if a company hires contractors those contractors are most often employees working for contracting firms, not some dude they found on the street and they end up paying quite a lot money for those contractors. The decision to use a contractor is not based on $9,500. Many companies can burn through that in a single day for a single contractor.... Just ask our government.

  9759.  @oswarz  How is "health insurance" based on employee income? Pretty much everyone at a company is getting the same plan or selections of plans based on whether they are single or have a family. Now you can make an argument that healthcare coverage should be based on progressive taxation. However to claim that a head tax is vastly different than what employers already pay for each employee and would vastly change hiring practices is pretty much a lie. It's basically a similar argument Republicans make against increasing the minimum wage.... How does it make sense to make those kinds of arguments against the second most progressive person in the democratic race? This is a completely meaningless point compared to the thousands who die each year from lack of coverage.

Taking supplements every day, exercising, running tests on yourself, and doing a fat injection doesn't seem too crazy compared to what is already normal for your typical movie star. So forgive me if I don't jump on the "omg he's sooo crazy" bandwagon. Simply because he's being public about it. The reality is people with money, particularly in CA, put themselves through things like this all the time. Most movie stars don't naturally look as good as they do. Most athletes don't perform well without a bunch of supplements, injections, and doctors monitoring everything about them.

Gates and Jobs didn't just so happen to be in CA, that's where the tech boom was happening and continues to happen to this day in Silicon Valley. Companies/people MOVE to CA for that reason.

  9782. @megagagnon1 I don't entirely disagree with that. Local concerns are best handled at local levels. But the problem is that most state governments are also corrupt.... I can't think of a single state in the US (other than maybe Oregon) that hasn't had rampant corruption charges. Whether you're talking about Federal or State government we need to separate the two most powerful things in our society: Captialism and Government. Throughout history they have *ALWAYS* led to corruption.

It's not just cities that crash during hardships, but the farms and businesses supporting them. Social safety nets are a huge multiplier on economies.

In the US. there are those I wish WERE NOT represented. But just remember the door swings both ways. If you allow a government to be unfair towards others that same government can be made unfair towards YOU at any time. The point is to fight with ideas and not force.

It annoys the crap out of me because if there are 100 issues of corruption happening with Trump and 2 issues of possible corruption with Hillary Clinton from ten years ago he'll repeat those 2 things over and over in order to seem "objective" . Also, you're right that it makes zero sense for the political party in office to primary the incumbent. Kyle wants someone more progressive to run for president, and I totally get that, but a political party would never take the risk to make the president look bad going into an election.

  9807.  @gracedwithbeauty5233  Supporting progressive policies, makes you a progressive. Clearly she doesn't feel strongly enough to sign a pledge on those policies. But sure keep blindly believing someone who was literally a conservative democrat like 5 years ago. She was on the fence on torture, didn't believe in single payer, she was part of an anti-gay group before that, was dating a republican at one point. You know, the one who threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony for asking him questions on corruption.
    1
  9808.  @oregonsbragia  No, she just need to sign a pledge indicating that she supports and will fight for actual progressive policies instead of just being a politicians and giving lip service to those policies. How many Barack Obamas will it take for you people to recognize when someone isn't that strong of a progressive?

  9809.  @oregonsbragia  Not even sure how to even process a comment like that... Do you somehow think a single election determines the political beliefs of an entire country? So everyone in the country now believes everything that Trump believes? Please tell me your ideas around politicians aren't that simplistic..... In any case there have been numerous polls showing a majority support for Medicare For All, stronger gun laws, taxes on the rich, etc.

  9812.  @oregonsbragia  I don't know what "they" you're talking about. However Teddy Roosevelt was one for the first progressive presidents even though he was a republican. He was the "trust buster". Then FDR came in did the New Deal, Medicare, Social Security. So this country does in fact have a history of electing progressive presidents. It doesn't magically make the entire country progressive, but there is a time and place for bold progressive ideas and that time is now.

  9813.  @gracedwithbeauty5233  If her policies are progressive, then why not sign the progressive pledge? Bernie Sanders was anti-war LONG before Tulsi decided to pretend to be a progressive. He's been talking about defunding the military for decades now and using that money for education, infrastructure, etc.. I have yet to hear Tutsi talk about defunding the military.... It's one thing to give lip service to being against war, because it's a nice shtick coming from a veteran, it's another thing to actually propose bills to shrink our bloated military which she HAS NOT DONE. It's like someone talking about losing weight while still buying the same amount of ice-cream every week.

  9814.  @gracedwithbeauty5233  If signing the pledge "is not the end all be all", then why not sign it? You're not really making a strong case for her not signing the pledge. All you're saying is "trust her". I need more than that, sorry. 😕 Sanders & Warren signed the pledge. Sanders also has receipts on being anti-war and anti-interventionist. Tulsi really doesn't.
    1
  9815.  @gracedwithbeauty5233  I've done my research on Tulsi, that's the problem. Being a conservative democrat against Single Payer, being on the fence about torture, being a leader in an anti-gay group. suspiciously defending Biden for no reason. I could go on... There are NUMEROUS reasons to be suspicious of Tulsi, this interview and not signing the pledge is just one more nail in the coffin.

  9817.  @oregonsbragia  1. She talks around military spending, but never specifically says "defund" or "cut". If you can find such a quote somewhere I'll stand corrected, but I've looked. 2. Signing a pledge that says you agree with the progressive agenda that you supposedly support is not difficult dude... Pretending that a politician who doesn't want to be held accountable is somehow cool, just means you're gullible af. 3. And I totally agree with those things that she supported. Will she support the same things when she't not running for president? I don't know because her record is not very long. This is no different than Obama, people thought he was this big progressive when he hadn't been in congress for very long. 4. Conservatives like her because she used to be conservative.
    1
  9818.  @oregonsbragia  And she still didn't say she will cut the pentagon's budget. Again, saying your won't start a war isn't the same as saying you will cut defense spending. It's the difference between a "talking point" and "actual policy". Warren was fighting for economic justice at a time when Tulsi was part of an anti-gay organization who was promoting pushing gay conversion therapy. She rallied against what she called "homosexual extremists" and even going against civil unions as late as 2004. So you really don't want to go there dude... Furthermore despite being "anti war" she was criticizing Obama in 2015 for not Bombing Syria and voted against Syrian and Iraqi refugees entering the US. A lot of people accuse her of being Islamophobic (as also indicated by her support of Modi). All I'm saying is that Tulsi needs to marinate for awhile before I actually believe where she is coming from and I suggest people be a bit more critical before blinding jumping onto a bandwagon.

  9819.  @oregonsbragia  Don't sit there calling people liars without providing supporting facts. It's disingenuous. I've researched everything I told you here and for you to just dismiss it because it's inconvenient for you is just cowardice. She was in fact a leader for " The Alliance for Traditional Marriage" and her tweet on Syria is still on twitter from 2015. I'm done with people who just fall in love with candidates and pretend there can never be anything wrong with them. I'm done with people and their bullshit fanaticism.

  9821.  @oregonsbragia  And I responded by saying that she talks generically about spending when it comes to "wars", but has never once says that she plans to cut or defund the military as Bernie Sanders has numerous times. I asked you to find a quote for me where she does, and you never did... I also listed several other issues with Tulsi that you proceeded to just ignore. So I'm not sure what your problem is. I'm not the one ignoring things here.
    1
  9822.  @oregonsbragia  They are not "smears" dude. She doesn't deny being part of her father's organization, she even apologized for it. Her twitter post on bombing Syria is still up from 2015. These are basic facts. Warren is my #2 choice. Again, the main problem I have with Tulsi is 1. I don't trust her. 2. she doesn't have a record building coalitions and getting anything done. Nothing wrong with actually being effective in Congress (as both Sanders and Warren have) before trying to be president. As it is now Tulsi is just jumping on the bandwagon that Sanders started long ago.

The fact that she was so homophobic as an adult that she fought against their rights makes me question her judgement.... Not to mention her potential bias against other groups and on other issues. Meanwhile Sanders was standing up for gay rights in the 80s when it wasn't "cool" to do so.

  9825.  @oregonsbragia  The quote that is still on her twitter says: "Bad enough US has not been bombing al-Qaeda/al-Nusra in Syria. But it’s mind-boggling that we protest Russia’s bombing of these terrorists."

Thomas Jefferson also talking about the "artificial aristocracy". By supporting a concentration of wealth you are supporting an artificial aristocracy (oligarchy).

  9837. We nearly started a war with North Korea. When Trump was antagonizing the leader calling him "rocket man" etc. and threatening to attack. This was before he decided to do photo ops and "fall in love" with the dictator. Trump bombed Iran based on false information that they were attacking ships. Trump then assassinated one of their top leaders out of nowhere which invited a retaliation of missiles strikes on our bases in Iran, injuring many soldiers. Trump tried to do another attack on Iran in order to start a conflict as he was leaving office and to keep Biden from engaging in another nuclear peace deal but was talked out of doing so. So to answer your question. Trump didn't start a war because there were thankfully enough competent people around Trump to prevent an all out war with Iran. Even though we nearly did so on multiple occasions.

  9843. Again, clearly you don't understand the difference between scientifc evidence vs anecdotal evidence from some dude in Hungary living under a different system & different issues. It's sad that people rely on this garbage to form opinions. This is how policians manipulate the masses. We have the data. We actualy have tax rates, revenue as a % of GDP, and job rates. So why make shit up? There's a reason why science uses the "scientific method", there's a reason why science uses statistics.

  9845. My understanding is that it serves as a constant reminder and a personal check for intoxication. Sometimes people aren't sure how drunk they really are. This allows you (or your concerned friends) to check whether you are too drunk to drive. Will a lot of people simply ignore it? Sure.... But I guess the logic is if it causes some people to think twice or understand how drunk they are then on the whole it may result in less accidents and fewer deaths.

  9846. Yes.... Our genes pre-date "society", they predate "humanity", they predate "conscious thought" and self awareness. Your biology gives you sexual urges and attraction in the first place. Humans are constaintly battling our innate or instinctual behavior with our conscious behavior we create daily as part "society". The fact that half of all pregnancies are unplanned should tell you show much we are ruled by our biology despite the availability of various forms of contraception.

  9847. 1. Your claims break down because they are irrational.... ALL LAWS imply force. It doesn't matter if it's a family, village, town, nation or a celtic tuath. Social contracts are the basis for any society which all civilizations are based on You offer nothing by calling society itself "immoral". 2. Currency Competition is a farce. People gravitate to safe currencies and 99.9% if the time that will be a state currency. And the idea that it addresses wealth concentration makes ZERO sense.

The Irony of a guy talking about "circumstantial evidence", "supposition", and "innuendo" when his entire business model and reporting is based on circumstantial evidence, supposition, and innuendo. O'Keefe is very good at lying and crafting a narrative. LOL... "Everything is transparent at Project Veritas except for the names of our whistleblowers". This is right after you went on a spiel about "anonymous sources" 😂. "...the names of our donors". As if anonymous donors funding their own private propaganda outfit is not shady at all. If you wanted to be "transparent" you would disclose who is funding you, just like politicians should disclose who is funding them.

  9854. @ATGwrestling Or I should say: "Large economic inequality", not just economic inequality in general.

  9857.  @locomoco2012  "Types of behavior" do exist.... And if you don't want that behavior you need to acknowledge it and address it instead of pretending that ignoring it will magically make that behavior go away. Ignoring crime doesn't magically make crime go away either. And it's not like saying "thank you" it's saying "I don't care about your struggles with a behavior that makes your life worse". It is completely unhelpful to anyone.

Did you even bother to look up the CRA or you want to continue sounding foolish? It's sad that you would rather parrot and be someone's poltical puppet instead of actually thinking for yourself. The CRA applied to NEIGHBORHOODS not an indiviuals ability to pay. It "does not require institutions to make high-risk loans that may bring losses to the institution"

  9862. @twk373 Once again you're confusing political views with constitutional authority... In your own words you call it a "view" which is exactly what it was. Just because one party changes something thatanother party did does not make the prior view "unconstitutional". Reactionaries have a tendency of calling something "unconstitutional" when they don't like it. It's based on emotion, nothing else. Fortunately we have a third branch of government that has that responsibility.

Abortion is fabricated issue never even mentioned in the bible. Bigots and ideologs tend to get emotional or leave the conversation when the little logic they have doesn't hold up actual facts.

There are many corrupt small governments around the world where countries are ruled by the wealthy few. Take away "government power" indiscriminately and the cartels, trusts, and global financiers simply step in. The government acts based on the forces acted upon it. Those forces can be us (democracy) or money (oligarchy). You pick

  9871. My theory is that it all stems from Cold War politics. For half a century we waged an ideological war with the Soviety Union, anything related to Communism/Marxism was deamonized while capitalism was glorified. McCarthyism and threat of nuclear annihilation seriously messed us up psychologically. Leading to the anti-government poltics of Reagan and "christian conservatism"... While other countries have no problem with parties identifying themselves as socialists/communists here it is heresy.

  9888. Apparently you missed the point where I said: "Explosives are also highly regulated and require far more skill and expertise to make than going to WallMart with a credit card" With enough time and expertise you can make a fully automatic weapon or a chemical weapon.

Would you want nuclear weapons easily available? No of course not.

Even Bernie Sanders was speaking up for the near genocide that was going on there while Tulsi just gave unconditional support for India. Tulsi has a lot of support from the far right in India. So it's not surprising that she's largely supportive of shutting down borders, bombing Muslims, and even defended the use of torture.

Especially when they forced their way into the capital building in Michigan and stopped votes and government business. Funny how selective that is. 🤔

  9906.  @vantastic9367  LOL... Apparently you think an "armed insurrection" is something that is "allowed" by a government. In case you didn't know getting permission is not how "insurrections" work. lol.. Now when those armed right wing Michigan protestors stormed the capital it wasn't with permission and they shut down the government. When those right wing nut jobs planned on kidnapping the governor it also wasn't "with permission". When Trump supporters stormed this nations capital to plant bombs, do violent acts, possibly murder Mike pence, and overturn the election. It also wasn't "with permission". When that Trump supporter decided to mail bombs to Obama, Soros, Clinton, etc. it also wasn't with permission. You can make up whatever crap you want to but it's pretty clear who the terrorists are.

  9911. @ggadguy There's a reason why every religion opposes wealth, materialism, "money changers", etc, because they recognize how corrupting it is. Monetary systems are the root motivation of all corruption. I'm all for getting rid of crony capitalism. However no market is "free", and "fairness" in capitalism requires the right government to support it. The more complex the financial system the more ways people figure out how to get "rich" from it so the more complex goverment has to be.

  9912. Libertarian ideas are only suited for egalitarian societies with equal distribution of wealth. However that society has never existed and Capitalism has always led to aristocracies. Paying say $5 a day to someone making 50,000 is a lot, but to someone making 5,000,000 it is not even worth thinking about. Suddenly people with less money are less mobile and have less oportunity and quality of life. We should be investing in transportation systems for all, not superhighways for the rich.
    1
  9913.  @usernameryan5982  This was over a decade ago,... but I noticed you didn't actually address my comment at all. You say "It's not for the rich", but didn't address the fundamental fact that it doesn't impact a rich person as much as a poor person. Why would a millionaire care about paying the toll or getting any of that toll money redistributed to them? They wouldn't because it's literally pennies to them.
    1
  9914.  @usernameryan5982  Well the entire point of my comment was to say these things do not impact the rich as much as they do the poor and you still haven't changed that dynamic and if you're giving money back to people you might as well just drop the price to being with. The price (if I remember correctly) is to disincentivize people from driving, but you're only doing that for poor people who care about the money. Whereas if you take the money for public transportation through taxes, you could make public transportation free and create an incentive for poor people to use public transportation rather than pay for gas.
    1
  9915.  @usernameryan5982  Again, you're only describing a system for keeping poor people off roads.
    1
  9916.  @usernameryan5982  Yes, "subsidizes". I'm saying make it free and expansive. If you design your cities around cars there will be more cars. If you design around other modes of travel there will be less cars. It seems pretty silly to design your cities around cars and then use tolls to keep people from driving.... Especially when tolls themselves can slow down traffic and make things horrible for poor people who may not know what the price is from day to day. Suddenly someone prepares to leave, they didn't know about a big event happening that day and suddenly they have to pay a lot more without realizing it. Why create a bureaucracy and make travel horrible for people when you can incentivize the best modes of travel in a city from the beginning?
    1
  9917.  @usernameryan5982  Yes many countries other than the US create systems to encourage alternative transport. I'm talking about countries like the US centered around driving. Not cities with much better transit system and city plans. Pointing to cities that are planned well with much better transportations systems only proves my point.
    1
  9918.  @usernameryan5982  You're not directly refuting my points, quite frankly you haven't even addressed my original post. Again, all you're doing is creating a deterrence that mainly effects poor people. It's pretty amazing how you keep writing novels but avoiding the very point of my original comment. I never said that taking public transportation wasn't an option. Yet you keep deciding that is the topic... My point is people don't plan their day around prices luxation's and they can get hit with a spike in price that day and not know it until after they've already started driving. It is nothing more than a travel bureaucracy instead of simplifying people's lives you nickel and dime people to death. Make people spend time worrying about the prices that day, subsidies, how many tolls to get from point A to B, etc.
    1
  9919.  @usernameryan5982  Also, I suggest you actually look at some polls on the congestion pricing in New York. People hate it. People hate tolls everywhere. The only people who like them are the people who profit from them. No one likes to be stopped on the road and pay just to move forward. No only likes the bureaucracy of it. It's a system where the rich won't even think twice about because it makes driving better for them whereas the poor will be nickel and dimed to death. Making people miserable enough to use public transit is horrible for basic quality of life, vs. making public transit, bike lanes, remote work, walking, etc. much more appealing increases quality of life.

The Federal government should not be used to limit freedom in order to sustain an outdated business model.

People's lack of respect for the lives of others is leading to the downfall of this society. Condoning/justifying murder due to baseless fear only leads to more people dying. If that is how you truly think, then you really should do some introspection on how fear is causing you to lose basic human decency. It's the path to evil that has led to dark times in a lot of different eras (Holocaust, Jim Crow, Rwanda, Salem Witch Trials, Spanish Inquisition, etc.)

  9927. 1. I'm just pointing out facts. 2. Homicides & suicides went down in Australia which is what we were talking about (not "crime"). It's a typical tactic for zealots to avoid topics by bringing up completely unrelated issues. 3. It is a well known fact that population density and poverty have the greatest impact on crime in an area. Which is why it would be stupid to compare Chicago to Montana... Real studies take these variables into account so they can make apples to apples comparisons.

  9929. I've thought about it but disagree.... This is the same with the war on drugs. We ALWAYS make the assumption that because something is easier to buy it must means more people will do it. Consumer protection is about KNOWING what you buy it's NOT about POLICING BEHAVIOR. We should advocate a SINGLE PAYER system so that everyone has easy access to MENTAL HEALTH services Instead of worry aboiut controlling everyone's behavior by banning what you can and cannot buy.

  9930.  @andyreb8135  Picking the best progressive candidate is one thing. Tearing someone down for simply not being perfect is another. If Bernie wasn't running, Warren would be the best progressive candidate BY FAR. It is dumb and dangerous to pretend that Warren is somehow as bad as Biden or Clinton, simply because there is a better candidate. These people will whip themselves in a frenzy and guarantee Trump a second term over a nonsense purity test. They ignore her actual policies in favor of bullshit non-issues.

You're willing to let thousands of people die, children rot in cages, and let the planet burn all because someone checked a box on a form decades ago based on family rumors. It's disgusting. You have no right to call yourselves decent human beings. I support Bernie 100% and that also includes his support of Warren which would also be 100% if she got the nomination instead. He has his priorities straight, too bad many of his selfish supporters do not.

Someone in Pompeo's position should not be making jokes like that when his boss has not conceded, is refusing to allow the transition team into the building, and knows that everyone in the country is worried about the state of our democracy. It is irresponsible to "joke" about those things if you're in that position. Even if you are joking you need to clearly say "I'm joking" and make your position clear, because you know how it's going to come across.

  9943. Business are not good or evil. They are "amoral" entities motivated by profit. Therefore expecting "well being" to naturally arise out of such a system is neither logical nor has any historical precidence. To estabolish morality governments intervene through laws, regulations, & court systems. Corruption arises because the market "profit motive" influences government for personal gain. If well being is the goal, a science based approach would be far more effective than a market based one.

If you want to screw up your own life then you should have the right to do so. We should not waste the courts, prisons, and law enforcement on issues of personal health. If we want to educate people on the dangers of drug use then there are FAR more effective and cheaper ways to do so with our tax dollars.

  9945. Lets be clear.... Having sex with your wife when you know she doesn't really want to is not rape. FORCING your wife to have sex with you when she doesn't want to IS rape. Just because your wife decides to have sex when she's not really feeling it doesn't mean it's "rape". Rubbing your wife's feet when you don't really feel like it isn't rape either. Sometimes that's just called being a loving wife/husband.

Numerous studies have clearly shown discrimination in the workplace as well as discrimination in hiring. Not just in one company, many companies across the country. But that's just it.... you get to be outraged over things you hear about vs what minorities actually experience. Again, this is the definition of "white privilege". You get to sit in your little political bubble being keyboard warrior and feigning outrage over anecdotes, lies, and exaggerations you hear on the internet while ignoring the vast majority of discrimination taking place against minority groups every single day. Sorry, but minorities don't have the luxury of getting upset over things that AOC might have implied one day that made you butthurt or cry to your friends. That's not a real problem.

Anymore than driving down a road or highway, using a public park, using the court system is "stealing" Our society is conditioned to be pre-occupied with "monopoly money" which only has value because it's backed by a government.

If he was taking half of his son's salary it would obviously show up.

I'm sick and tired of hundreds of thousands of people dying because people feel the need to respect people's moronic opinions that cause the deaths of so many people. Where was our respect when Trump was out there calling us terrorists, losers, and blaming Covid deaths and civil unrest on Democratic mayors and Governors? Republicans stood by while they let that hateful monster demonized minorities, immigrants, Muslims, and separated kids from their parents. Not only did they stand by silently they cheered along with Trump every step of the way. One side gets to be as hateful as they want to be and the other side is expected to always be decent. Screw that.

  9969.  @jeffreym68  I understand perfectly what you're saying, a few years ago I thought the same way. The thing you should understand is that not everyone works that way. How do you think someone as hateful as Trump was able to win the nomination? You need to understand that some people, arguably most people, do not react in an intellectual way at all to politics and if you cannot face that then you're going to be just as ineffective. Calling people "Deplorables" wasn't the mistake. Backing away from that comment instead of qualifying it and putting it into context was the mistake. The fundamental problem with Democrats is weakness. Some people need to have the heart stings pulled, some people need to be angered, and some people need to feel stupid. If you go around thinking that intellectual arguments are always going to work on everyone, then you're in for a lot of disappointments.

  9974. Bullshit... There isn't no highbow argument for why the older black electorate didn't vote for Bernie Sanders. It all comes down to fear, ignorance, and name recognition. Fear makes people do stupid things and it's no surprise that older black voters who only watch corporate media (and experienced more racism) would gravitate towards the person they know vs the person they don't. It's no surprise that younger black voters who don't care about Biden and have more access to online information as opposed to corporate media would vote for Bernie Sanders.

  9975. Tucker is very good at straddling the line between reasonable and extremism. It's basically his brand at this point. So he may have very well made that comment about the Unabomber on purpose. At the same time Cenk is kind of a fool for falling into that trap and phrasing his question like that. It just makes him sound triggered over everything that Tucker does, which is exactly what Tucker wants.
    1
  9976.  @berniethekiwidragon4382  Yup, that's the problem. Which is why Cenk shouldn't directly respond to a single statement like that without putting it into a better context. He's basically creating a soundbite that can be later used against him either by Tucker or one of the many minions that have started to suck up to Tucker.

  9977. My position on vaccines hasn't changed at all in the past decade and I really never understood the crazy political debate we've had over the past few years. All vaccines do is trick your body into thinking it's infected so that it can create protections against future infection. If you've had the virus and recently recovered, there's no need to get vaccinated. If you haven't, then you should get vaccinated if the virus is dangerous, especially if you're vulnerable. All long term research into Covid has shown this to be true and there is nothing magical or sinister about the mRNA vaccines other than the mechanism it uses to trick your body into thinking it's infected.

  9982. Libertarians talk around in circles about a "freemarket utopia" that has never existed and never will exist. It will never exist is because service consolidation is always more efficient.

Things like roads, bridges, defense, power, postal services, health services, information services, should be consolidated.

The fact is NPR gets no federal money for network operations. The grants they get for special projects represent a tiny fraction of revenue. The fact is most high profile conservatives REFUSE to go on MSNBC because they get asked REAL questions. Micheal Steel only agreed to go on Maddow AFTER leaving the RNC.

You can always save lives by enforcing your will on others and finding things to ban and other things to enforce. China did this with their extreme lockdowns. The question is always "should you?"

Obama's biggest failure was CONTINUING those policies and not prosecuiting people for the atrocities that happened.

They only questioned the influences on that election, namely Brian Kemp disenfranchising black/Latino voters leading up to the election in the case of GA as well as the Russian hacking and releasing emails and social media manipulation in the case of 2016. Those were things that actually happened. They weren't made up or used as a pretense to overturn the election results after the fact.

You do understand that we have a winner take all system don't you? --"My choices are not morality plays or ethical diversions". Yes they are. Because choices have consequences. --"It's very simple; I cannot vote against someone (no one can, you can only vote FOR someone)". Actually when voting for someone you're decreasing the chances of other people winning. --" Will that work? Doubtful" So you're consciously making irrational decisions. Okay. --"I know 100% that voting for Biden or Trump won't work." I know 100% that more people voting for Biden will prevent Trump being in office for 4 more years. I also know that you throwing away your vote by doing nothing or voting 3rd party literally accomplishes nothing. -

  10000.  @Jesus.the.Christ  You obviously don't understand if you don't fundamentally comprehend that you have two choices in front of you. Deciding nothing still helps or hurts one of those two choices no matter what world you want to live in. This is what we have. Crying about it in a corner doesn't change reality, sorry. --"Recall in 2016 how so many people were going to vote for Clinton? What happened?" One of those two choices was elected president and 100,000 American died due to that person's incompetence. We exited the Paris Climate Accords. Hate crimes increased by 30%, Lots of people died in mass shootings. We tore up the Iran Nuclear Deal and nearly went to ware with Iran twice. Oh yeah, we also nearly went to war in Iran twice and put concentration camps on our border. Decisions have consequences. --"Would you say that to a Trump supporter? Are they throwing their vote away?" I would also say they are making idiotic choices. Why wouldn't I say otherwise?

  10001.  @Jesus.the.Christ  --"you would understand that the slim chance is a better option than the no possibility chance." I am deciding that Biden is better than Trump. That is the choice before us. Your choice is NOT a slim chance, it is a ZERO chance. There is absolutely no one else who will win the 2020 election other than a candidate from the Democratic or Republican party. There is no scenario were someone other than those two people will win in November. Until you comprehend that, you are no different than a child making up a fantasy. If there where a billionaire populist who jumped into the race as an independent months ago and has gained press coverage and captured some popularity in the polls. Then maybe, but we don't live in that alternate reality. So wake the hell up and come back to THIS reality. You need to get it thorough your head that there is absolutely no way for anyone else to win other than the Republican or Democratic candidate at this point in time.

  10002.  @Jesus.the.Christ  Trump and McConnel have made changes to our circuit courts that will damage justice for decades to come. Nevermind the fact that Biden wouldn't have sat on his ass, disbanded his own Pandemic team, and let 100,000 Americans Die, or put concentration camps on the border, or lose hundreds of migrant children who may never see their parents again.. I could list of dozens of of other issues. But I digress... Let's stipulate that you don't care about your fellow citizens dying or the country almost going to war twice with Iran because Trump tore up the Nuclear Deal. Let's say you don't care about any of that. So basically your decision is that you don't care whether your country is 2% better or not. And instead of making your country 2% better, you would rather just sit around and whine. Makes no sense to me, but okay.

No, my talking points are 170 years old because that's approximately how long we've had a two party government and there is a specific reason for why that is compared to the democratic parliamentary systems that came later. I didn't ignore anything, the bottom line is one decision is better than the other and if you can't deal with that then I don't know what to tell you. Life is hard, put on your big boy pants.

  10004.  @Jesus.the.Christ  No I'm just explaining what the reality is and you're lashing out like some teenager who doesn't like having responsibilities. --"You never gave me a reason to vote for Biden that was anything other than "the other guy is worse". " If you care about actual "policies" that effect the lives of "human beings", then that should be enough for you. However if all you care about is making a statement, then that's your prerogative. --"Again, go have that conversation with a Trump voter." As a matter of fact I do... I talk to Trump supporters a lot more than people like you. Every day in fact.
    1
  10005.  @Jesus.the.Christ  You already admitted that one choice is worse than another. You haven't provided anything useful other than bitching about our choices. So yeah sorry if I'm calling your mindset childish, because that's exactly what it is. Ether the train is either going off a cliff or you can pull a lever to derail the train and cause a crash a rational person would decide which one of those two outcomes is going to save more lives. You would rather sit on the sidelines whining and bitching that there aren't better choices. That isn't an opinion I can respect, sorry. Most of my time speaking to Trump supporters is spent debunking the lies they are told by people like Trump and Sean Hannity.

  10006. Jesus Christ admitted, decried, whatever dude... The result is the same. You sitting here bitching and moaning about your choices without offering anything else productive or substantive, doesn’t actually do anything.

  10007.  @Jesus.the.Christ  You simply want people to acknowledge your emotions over reality. Go ahead, throw away your vote on your feelings. I'm sure the thousands of Americans who will die under Trump/GOP rule will give you a pat on the back for taking a stand and doing nothing for them.
    1
  10008.  @bryanseaman4611  Hate to break it to you, but Republicans winning doesn't magically make the Democrats acknowledge your point of view Genius... More often than not it causes Democrats to acknowledge the Republican point of view because the winning team gets to set the narrative and political discourse for the next 4 years. Which is exactly what happened after Reagan, Bush, and Trump. Bush killing thousands of Americans and a million civilians in the middle east sure showed those Democrats didn't it? They must have really learned their lesson after indefinite detention and torture huh? How about those tax cuts and the great recession? That sure showed them! Keep employing your genius strategy of winning by losing and see where it gets you.

  10010.  @Jesus.the.Christ  I figured you were reaching out for emotional support... I commented your posts and answered your questions verbatim. You're just throwing a tantrum because you didn't like the answers.
    1
  10011. ​ @Jesus.the.Christ  Like I said.... "The other guys is worse" is a valid reason to prefer one choice over another. You seem to not understand something so basic. I DON'T KNOW what issues you care about, so how the hell am I suppose to give you an answer for what you're voting for? The only thing you've told me is that you agree that Trump is worse. And based on that information the rational choice is the guy who is not Trump, because at the end of the day one of those two people is going to be president whether you like it or not. Crying about your choices, doesn't change that fact. It has nothing to do with behavior, it is basic logic dude....

  10012.  @bryanseaman4611  The exact sort of weak response that I would normally get from a Trump supporter. I know someone playing games when I see it. You know what a substantive response is, so please stop wasting my time with an obvious deflection.
    1
  10013.  @bryanseaman4611  Again, there is no "strategy" to changing the Democratic party by having the republican party win. I listed 3 different republican administrations that didn't magically turn the Democratic party progressive after they lost to the GOP and you decided to ignore it. You also haven't provided shred of evidence supporting your beliefs. You somehow think that a political party is a living creature that you can simply punish into doing what you want. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. AGAIN... What usually happens is that the winning party takes control of the political narrative for the next 4-8 years. For example: The "Reagan revolution" basically created the modern "moderate Democrat". Bush's tax cuts is on of the one of the main drivers of our current inequality and debt. It created oligarchs like Jeff Bezos. Bush's war on terror (PNAC) greatly escalating our entire presence in the middle east. ALL of these administrations shifted the Overton Window FURTHER to the Right which is exactly why we have candidates like Biden today. Do you not get that?

  10014.  @Jesus.the.Christ  If you guys are unable respond to your own arguments and need to help out each other, then perhaps your arguments were never that strong to begin with. -"Did you ever ASK what issues I care about? Of course not, it doesn't matter to my argument and why should I fish for details that you're not providing? --"I explained that Trump is worse, but not by much. " Then obviously you don't care that your country is worse off. You pretend that Biden is only slightly better than Trump and yet you haven't provide any basis for that. I on the other hand have provided concrete examples of thousands of people who would be alive today and families that would be far better off if Trump wasn't in the office. My argument is substance based, your argument is whining about your choices and pretending that others should just agree with your emotions
    1
  10015.  @Jesus.the.Christ  I address everything you say, but you're not saying much. --"There is no "this guy was killed, but that guy was killed more."" One guy's policies kills more people. I explained this to you several times. --"Biden is NOT going to pull the US out of the hellscape" Maybe, maybe not. He's certainly not going to start a war with Iran which Trump almost did on multiple occasions. The people Trump appointed want to overthrow Iran and Venezuela the same way we did Iraq. There was literally a coup attempt last week in Venezuela that Trump new about. --"You still have not provided a reason to vote for Biden that is not "the other guy is worse"" And as I've repeated several times. If you honestly give a damn about your country then "the other guy is worse" IS a reason. If all you care about is feeling good about voting then sit out. You're whining about not having great choices. Part of being an adult involves choosing things that aren't always ideal. That's just life, sorry. If you don't care about about preventing another Iraq war or a coup in Venezuela then just sit in your mother's basement and whine about how life isn't fair, because that's all you're good for apparently. I on the other hand will use my vote to prevent as little suffering and death as possible because THAT MATTERS.

  10016.  @bryanseaman4611  Try actually understanding the argument you're commenting against. Let me repeat.... At no point in modern history has "democrats losing" whether it was Regain vs Carter, Bush vs. Gore, or Clinton vs Trump has the county gone more progressive when a Republican administration has been in charge, in fact the opposite has always happened. And the democrats within the party have shifted to the right, because the Overton window shifted to the right. Which produced people like Clinton and Biden during and after Regan's presidency. Now do you have an actual "argument" to counter that or are you just going to throw a tantrum and call me names because you have absolutely nothing else to offer? From where I'm sitting your idea of pretending to punish the democrats at the expense of your country for not getting the nominee you wanted, sounds a lot more simplistic and childish to me.
    1
  10017.  @bryanseaman4611  Again, please explain to me when in the past 50 years the Democratic party losing has gotten more progressive policies passed? --"Absolutely zero of the elections you detail have anything to do with the progressive coalition withdrawing from the party. " There is NO "coalition".... Except for the imaginary one in your head. LMAO... 😂 Ok, then explain to me how any "coalition" in recent history has gotten the polices they wanted by having the opposition party winning? Still waiting.... If you knew the first thing about coalition building you would know that it often happens with people who don't agree with you 100%, but never happens with people directly opposed to you. What happens is the opposition party MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT to get what you want long term, by changing policies, courts appointments, shifting the Overton Window, etc. Calling my "white boy"? LOL.. You really are clueless aren't you? 😂😂😂😂 Not surprised that your assumptions about people are just as dumb as your assumptions on politics.

  10018.  @Jesus.the.Christ  You sounds like a whiny kid who feels entitled to a logical argument when all they've presented are their emotions. People like you have no idea how to pick your battles, once you feel slighted you then lash out at the world without any real aims, goals, or plans expecting that you will somehow accomplish something. Just like now you feel that your insults and "angry talk" are somehow arguments. It isn't. Sorry, but your insults and "angry talk" may have worked on the playground, but it doesn't work against people who only care about facts and logic. So you can sit on the sidelines bitching and moaning about your choices all you want, but understand that you're not actually accomplishing anything.

  10019.  @bryanseaman4611  So your argument is reduced to a variety of ad hominems cause you have nothing else. Got it.

  10020.  @bryanseaman4611  Yeah because the politics of nearly 200 years ago is exactly the same as it is today...... 🙄 It's weird how far back in history you have to go in order to try and make an argument... Gee it's almost as if your position is difficult to prove.... 🤔🤣 Please explain to me how the Democrats losing is going to lead to what you want? If the Democrats are the Whigs. Tell me what brand new party is going to magically break the two party politics that we've had in this country for over 150 years? Is everyone flocking to the green party right now? Or do you somehow believe that everyone is going to magically go to the Green party after Trump wins? I'm still waiting for an actual rational argument here.

  10021.  @Jesus.the.Christ  You're not raising arguments. You're just throwing a tantrum like some kid. You spend all of this energy ranting when you could be laying out a logical argument, but you're not. So I really don't know what to tell you. 🤷🏻‍♂️
    1
  10022.  @Jesus.the.Christ  If I wanted clarification on a point or an argument. I would simply repeat it until I got an answer. Either that hasn't occurred to you, or you don't care about your arguments, or you actually don't have an argument. There is no way that I would spend all day avoiding my own argument. So please stop pretending. Cause you're not fooling anyone. I've already stated this SEVERAL times already. Clearly Biden would be better on healthcare, immigration, handling of the coronavirus that has killed thousands of our people, Iran nuclear deal, environmental regulations, taxation, court appointments, our relationships with other countries, and slew of other issues If you don't understand the basic notion of "one guy is better than the other guy". Then I don't know what to tell you since you're not even trying to think rationally.

  10023. 06:10 Saagar.... It's not like "Q-anon getting it's own movie". That's effing absurd. The events depicted in the showtime trailer DID HAPPEN. There might be some speculation included in the series, just like there is in every single biographical drama ever made no matter if it's based on Tiger King or Watergate. However to put it on the same level as pretending there is a secret child pedophilia ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant run by "deep state" Satan worshipers, is absolutely absurd.

All of his arguments against gay marriage could apply to couples without childen, single parents, divorced parents, etc. Gay people should not have lesser rights than straight people...period. Those against gay marriage are on the wrong side of history plain and simple.

  10025. There are many ways of making sustainable food. The problem is living in a society were much of our real-estate goes to shopping malls and mindless consumerism at every corner instead of green space and sustainable agriculture. Humans lived close to their food sources for hundreds of years. Of course many cultures today still do. All my meat comes from local sources. It tastes FAR better than what you'd get from any chain grocery store and shit don't explode...

  10026. It's rare to see a reasonable Trump supporter who is informed and actually accepts reality. At the same time it's strange for someone reasonably intelligent to not understand that Trump has been conning the American people for years and has no real "political opinions". All Trump did was put on a show for you, it's pretty pathetic to still not understand at this point that the Emperor has no Clothes...

  10028. You shouldn't be ashamed of "being a human" anymore than a lion is ashamed of "being a lion". The fact is we both evolved as hunters with humans also gathering plants for food. However we wouldn't be the species we are today without hunting. Which is why we identify with other hunters in nature and keep dogs & cats as pets as opposed to cows or deer.... This is a moral dilemma of our own creation because we're removed from our food sources. Other animals do not share in this mental disorder.

  10032. @megagagnon1 1. There's no such thing as a government, country, nation, town, village, etc. that doesn't have taxes or some form of communal assets. 2. You're focusing on a symptom not a cause... This is what is meant by "taxation without representation". The founders of this country had no problems with taxes. The problem is lack of democracy and no feeling of control over what is done with your taxes. You might as well ask what will happen if you don't pay your bills or do chores.

  10033. @megagagnon1 "downsize the government" or "small government" is just another empty talking point. It doesn't mean ANYTHING until you get into specifics. That same mentality was used to deregulate the financial markets and where did that lead us? No, crippling gov. protections and irrational fear of gov. is not the answer. The problem isn't gov. it's MONEY. The answer starts with campaign finance reform and laws restricting lobbying and the revolving door between public/private jobs.

  10034. Benjamin, that's like saying that all Christians are connected to the Westboro Baptist Church, or all Atheists are connected to Stalin & Mao, or that all white males are connected biologically to every mass murderer in the US.

  10035. Christian Holliday. First off I already replied to you. Name calling just makes you sound infantile. Secondly, again so is it your position to blame the Christians that you know for the killing and imprisoning of gay people in Uganda? How about we blame them for the tens of thousands of kids who were molested by catholic priests? I honestly don't know what you're trying to accomplish by simply hating people who share the same religion, but are not trying to stone or bomb people. I don't know how in your irrational mind this is supposed to work. That somehow pointing fingers at a Muslim in Chicago, Maldives, Morocco, Mali, or Indonesia is somehow going to magically fix what's happening in Afghanistan.

  10036. Christian Holliday, Google "Projection", because your comment is a classic example.

  10037. LM Interests, enough with the idiotic talking points.... 1. ISIS has direct ties back to to "Al Qaeda in Iraq". AQI as well as the other groups created during the insurgency didn't even exist in Iraq until.... WE INVADED IRAQ. Iraqi citizens joined these groups because they were pissed at what we did to their country and the puppets we put in power. 2. The reason we pulled out of Iraq was because of the "US Iraqi Status of Forces" agreement that was signed by George W Bush. It had NOTHING to do with Obama, look it up. Iraqis did not want us in their country. 3. Thinking somehow staying in Iraq indefinitely under a civil war and extremism that WE CAUSED was somehow going to magically fix everything is completely dumb.

  10038. @Plato86 Actually you're wrong on two fronts. 1. I buy most of my food from LOCAL farms, because it's far more healthier, sustainable, environmentally friendky, and tastier than buying from the big agricultural outfits. Many DO use undocumented workers to suppliment their labor and prices reflect that. 2. Sorry, but if Americans actually CARED how their food was made they wouldn't buy much of anything. The reality is for the vast majority their concern begins and ends at the store.

  10040. Yes if you disagree with progressive positions then you're not a progressive. If you fight against progressive ideas on healthcare, education, environment, etc. then by definition you're a conservative. If after all the witness testimony and ignoring subpoenas you cannot answer the question on whether Trump abused his power or obstructed Congress, then you're either an idiot that didn't pay attention to the inquiry or a liar. It doesn't require a gatekeeper or a label acknowledge the basics.

  10041. 1. The reason scientists don't "cherry pick" is that it leads to invalid information. If you make assumptions based on one rural town or a few cities with the highest crime rates in the country then you're assumptions are wrong. 2. The fact that you made assumptions and didn't bother to read my earlier position on background checks is not my fault. 3. The study found an 7 to 9 % increase in overall homicides in states that implemented stand your ground laws with no indication of a deterrent.

  10054. @megagagnon1 It doesn't debunk anything. It just repeats what I told you. Like I said... You have to separate *corporate* taxes, payroll taxes, and personal income taxes. For investment purposes, taxes don't mean squat. Since Regan there is less incentive for people to put profits into their business. ie: " Should I talke huge bonuses and get taxed 80% or leave the money in my company and expense it as capex, addition jobs, etc?" Instead this capital goes towards mindless speculation.

  10055. @chaumont20 I could also make a wild claim that if it weren't for the constant obstruction that unemployment would be at 5 or 6% since job creating legislation was blocked. Do you have anything to back up your assertion that it would be higher with obstruction? I think not. Throwing out "Sarah Palin" is nothing more than a straw-man. The fact is we just had a very right wing president and congress. Even with controversial legislation there was much more compromise than there is today.

  10056. Again, Madison was not "god of the consitution". The fact that you don't know that is sad.

Higher personal income taxes means there is less incentives for executives and owners to take money OUT of their businesses,

  10061. It's crazy how people falsely believe that vaccines stop Covid from spreading. As if we haven't had an entire year talking about "asymptomatic" spread and recent studies show that vaccinated people spread the virus almost as easily as people who are unvaccinated (especially if it's been over two months since their vaccination). So creating different rules for unvaccinated to stop the virus from spreading, is nonsensical. It's also crazy that people think that natural immunity doesn't work when that's the primary way human beings have become immune to viruses for our entire existence. All vaccines do is simulate an infection so that your body builds an immune response in a less dangerous way than getting the actual virus. How you acquire immunity is irrelevant. I'm sure the drug companies absolutely love the "everyone should get vaccinated regardless" approach to our policy.

You might think that Sanders is wrong in not being adversarial enough, but the fact is no other anti-establishment candidate in recent times has gotten as close to the presidency as Bernie Sanders has in the democratic party. The republican party and Trump doesn't operate like the Democratic party so what Trump did in 2016 just isn't going to work. It probably wouldn't have worked in the Republican party either if the establishment consolidated in the same way they did in SC.

  10064.  @AlbertaGeek  You should stop playing games and ask yourself the same question based on your own assertions. Are you saying that you've never seen cops push back protestors/rioters? Are you saying that every cop who has pushed back protestors should be charged with a crime? What specific crime should every cop in the country who has pushed back a protestor be charged with? And btw the Buffalo police department use of force guidelines under "6.3 USE OF FORCE CONTINUUM" do specify the use of physical force when someone does not comply to verbal commands. Of course, you already know this and you're simply playing games pretending as if you've never heard of police pushing back protestors when controlling a crowd.

Understand that by doing so you're not support "capitalism," you're supporting a few at the top that want to consolidate their wealth and use it to crush competition. Things like healthcare, infrastructure, and progressive taxes are much more important to startups.

  10073. It's so brave for rich white guys to speak out against trans kids and being criticized online from the comfort of their comfy chairs. MLK spent many years under threat while protesting, was jailed, and ended up being assassinated, but these guys are doing the hard work of sitting down, smoking cigars, and complaining about things.

  10074. @ggadguy I agree that cuts and taxes are necessary to get out of the deficit. I would just be careful on "cutting jobs" given the economic situation we're in. Waste in the military, subsidies, and negotiating drug prices could have saved 100s of billions. I would also support some kind of transaction tax or FTT. However cutting NASA which started the whole "Space Age" and losing out on the businesses, scientists, and innovation that surrounded the program seems completely short sighted.

  10075. Actually I have no idea what he would do, because I have no idea why he did it in the first place. Do you? Does anyone? This is why we have an entire field of study called "psychology", where people spend years doing research and studies specifically to figure out that very thing. My one and only point is that our focus should be in "solving problems" in our society rather than simply seek revenge or make snap judgments based on something horrible we see on TV.

  10076. TYT if you make every shooting into a "gun control" issue then you're going to lose your credability. Yes statistically "gun control" does reduce "gun violence". Howver not every case (like this one) is the result of lack of regulations. If you don't make those distinctions you end up sounding silly.

  10077. Let's keep this in perspective Cenk... The republicans are in the middle of their primary so OF COURSE they are getting a lot of attention and are all fresh in the minds of voters. Once the first presidential debate happens, it will totally be a different story. Other than many Ron Paul (who the estabolishment will NEVER let be the nominee) their is no republican that could possible stand up to Obama in a debate.

  10080.  @PKMNFan4664  Sad... Everyone can be a victim depending on the circumstance. A Christian person in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia can be persecuted, but in western countries were most of the population is Christian is not where that happens. The problem with Conservatives is that they fail to understand where real victims are in the world and choose to only to care about their own perspective and their own worldview. Everyone else is seen as a threat to that perspective. Progressives see gay marriage as a right that people should have because it would make people happy and more fulfilled, whereas conservatives think that if someone else gets married that goes against their beliefs then then it is somehow a threat to their perspective.

  10083. I give him a pass.... Passing a somewhat racist email does not mean you are racist and that racism effects your job. Political jokes get escalated to the point where they get pretty nasty. Jayar your analogy is flawed... "Sexual harrassment" means someone was HARASSED... If the judge has bias towards blacks you can review his past cases and find out if there was a racial email. However firing someone based on a stupid joke in an email that the judge admits was wrong is rediculous.

I suppose we should go through history and talk about salvery, Jim Crow, woman's sufferage, prohibition, etc etc. The problem with this country is blind partisanship and the media that supports it.

  10087. @abxxxh How exactly do regular cows kill us? The science of "fast food", factory farming, feeding cows chicken feces, garbage and corn actually changes the fat profile of these animals making them unhealthy for us to eat. Same with GM foods, we're playing with fire by introducing a hybrid species that's NEVER been in our food chain. GM food have killed lab animals, and insects, even their pollen has been deadly to insects. Or did you think I meant they would turn into monsters ;-)

  10090. @twk373 Can you name any market in the world that is completely "self regulating"? Because I can assure you none exists. The idea of a functioning unregulated "free market:" is nothing more than dogma. It never has existed and it never will exist. Yet for some reason something that has no evidence in history, no evidence on a macro scale, completely unproven (other than the COUNTLESS failures in the past) remains the "holy grail" for many people. It is completely illogical.

  10091. The ignorance on this is amazing to me. There have already been numerous studies shows that natural infection is as good or better than being fully vaccinated and boosted. Such as the Cleveland clinic study that followed thousands of hospital works since the start of the pandemic. The fact that people are still pretending that the science is not available on this is pretty disturbing. It goes to show that the marketing push for vaccinations during the pandemic was so extreme it pushed pretty much anything else out. Yes getting vaccinated on top of an infection gives you additional protection, but that "additional protection" is marginal and it is unlikely that the extra protection is long lived. In any case If you're not immunocompromised a subsequent infection is going to be much milder than the first. The bottom line is, if you've recovered from Covid, you're not going to die from it later in life. All vaccines do is trick the body into thinking it is infected so that it creates and immune response to it. Guess what? the same thing happens when you're actually infected. Furthermore a variant specific vaccine isn't guaranteed to have any better effects than what we have, because previous variant specific vaccines were not found to be more effective and there is something called "original antigenic sin" where your body may reject variant specific antibodies anyway if you've been exposed to the original Covid variant. The profit motive really needs to be taken out of our healthcare system.

If we say that legislation against BDS is wrong because it's a first amendment issue, we can't then turn around and legislate against the first amendment rights of others that we disagree with. We also can't make these dumb emotional arguments. Banning gay conversion therapy because some kids (not linked to gay conversion therapy) committed suicide, it's just as dumb as Trump pretending that building a wall is linked to an immigrant killing someone.

  10099. 05:35 They didn't like the warrantless wiretapping? 🤔 I distinctly remember Sean Hannity and others on the right making the argument that if you didn't have anything to hide and you were doing anything illegal then "what do you have to worry about?" They may have changed later on, but in the beginning a lot of right wingers were supporting warrantless wiretapping. Then of course after Obama was elected suddenly NSA spying and warrantless wiretapping became a big deal for the right.

  10101. Markets are war systems and in war there will always be losers... This has been true throughout history. Libertarianism uses the idea of "fairness" to pass legislation and fund think tanks that only support corporations. It's easy for Rand Paul to speak out against bailouts when he's fully supported by Oil & Coal. You cannot stop corruption in a system where money is power. Nor can you stop it from "playing favorites". Without "checks & balances" against money, corruption will be the norm.

Mueller once again stated that Trump committed CRIMES. Why is that not the top story? Because Fox News will create the narrative, CNN in an attempt to be "neutral" responds to that narrative and TYT to be "nuanced" will give the politics more air time than the actual crimes. The Right falls in line. Meanwhile the Left will tangle themselves in "nuance" for days attacking each other. This what will lead to Trump's re-election... Because the Right doesn't care about being honest and "nuanced".

  10108. How exactly are you defining "worse"? The only one "cherry picking" here is you, because somehow you think a global financial collapse and a 23% unemployment rate is somehow equivalent to a mild depression caused by a deflated currency. No, Economists agree with WWII ending the Great Depression and *most* agree on the effect of the New Deal. Yet in your ideological mind you believe economic consenses to be a "fallacy", becase you think that your "opinion" matters more. It's not rational.

IMO bondage one type of sexual expression, which could be rough or not depending on the people involved. Equating "eager to please" or "submissiveness" to "rough sex" is also a mistake. Somone can have a submissive personality but not like rough or aggressive sex. Someone can also love being pinned down and pounded but have an assertive personality.

  10140.  @joanna4289  Sorry, but an action doesn't magically turn you into an adult. There are thousands of teen pregnancies specifically because kids do not have a clue what it really means to raise a child. You might as well claim that a 40 year old can have a relationship with a 13 year old simply because the 13 year decided to have sex... That's not how it works. Just because you do an adult act, doesn't magically turn you into a mature person.

  10141.  @iamjustamomdoingthebestica6999  Again, because someone did something horrible doesn't magically turn them into an adult. You can easily argue that someone who would do something like that and post pictures bragging about it is clearly underdeveloped in the first place. A kid can say they want to drive, have a child, shoot guns, drink alcohol, or smoke cigarettes, and dozens of other things. Simply saying it or doing it doesn't actually make them mature enough to understand the full ramifications of doing those things.

We think we're important enough to visit so we make up stories on how other creatures want to visit us.

The other problem is Glen Beck gets uncomfortable/squirms with any tough questions even on O'Reilly's show.

It's not like we spent several weeks trying to make an "October Surprise" happen by accusing the vice president of crimes that never happened. It's not like we called for Joe Biden to be ARRESTED just before the election because of his son's laptop with zero evidence of wrong doing. It's not like we're making up voter fraud everywhere with no evidence just because we're losing an election. 😂 You people are effing pathetic....

Sure Sure... In other words "grainy videos where you can insert your imagination". 4. Seriously? Trump's son's influence peddle all day every day. Why do you think they're on TV and selling books every day? Why do you think Ivanka is a white house advisor with her bachelors degree in economics and modeling career? Ivanka and Jared have raked in HUNDRDS OF MILLIONS of dollars since becoming white house advisors, but you don't care because you're nothing more than a hack. Jared suddenly received tens of millions in foreign investments and was denied security clearance because of his questionable foreign ties until "daddy" intervened to give access. You people have no sense of hypocrisy. 5. I have no idea what you're referring to, sorry. Try to make sense.

  10158.  @maximmatusevich3971  1. Cool Story. 2. And they never made that claim in their testimony. So you're lying about that. Their article on their website specifically references that testimony. Now you're trying to deflect by bringing up other topics. Sorry, but I'm not taking the bait. Again, Crowdstrike corroborated the findings of the intelligence committees and intelligence agencies. 3. Give me a reference, something to look up. Otherwise your empty accusations and claims have no bearing on the conversation. I'm sick of your damn hypocrisy. You pretend that the investigation into Russian meddling was somehow fake (which it obviously wasn't, real hacks and meddling happened, DOZENS were indicted and arrested) Then you make up instances of voter fraud without providing any evidence for it and you want me to take you seriously? 4. The Democrats didn't impeach Trump over a lot of things they could have. For example the numerous emoluments clause violations. So you'll have to ask them. However nepotism isn't illegal. Lots of people get jobs based on who they are or who they know.. 5. Most of our current engagements in the middle east started with Bush, a Republican, overthrowing Iraq. So stop pretending that this is somehow a "liberal" issue when it isn't. Never mind the push to get into a war with Iran. Trump nearly got us into war with Iran by tearing up the Nuclear Deal and attacking that country TWICE unprovoked. Never mind the failed coup in Venezuela. So spare me.

  10159.  @maximmatusevich3971  Your problem is that you're confusing the establishment democratic party with "liberals" or "progressives" and they are not one in the same. I remember standing around with my friends a few months after Obama took office and we were talking about how he was a disappointment for escalating drone strikes. Libya was a mixed bag because there thousands of people who were about to get slaughtered. So there was a lot of debate on the left on whether we should intervene or not. Bernie Sanders represents the movement on the Left for defunding the military and pulling out of many of our engagements. This was also echoed by people like Tulsi Gabbard and Elizabeth Warren. However as of today there is no comparable movement on the Republican side at all. There used to be a decade or so ago with people like Ron Paul, but not today. They celebrated when we pulled out of the Iran Deal, they celebrated all the antagonism against Iran. They celebrated when we assasinated Soleimani Trump talked about pulling our troops out while at the same time talking about turning the middle east to glass... He dramatically increased military spending and allowed the CIA to make drone strikes against civilians with much less oversight.

  10160.  @maximmatusevich3971  I appreciate the effort, but it's not like I have a lot of time on my hands. But I'll address some of your points.
    1
  10161.  @maximmatusevich3971  My point on Libya is that the argument on the left is about saving lives. It's the same argument for Darfor. The argument on the Right is about asserting power and pre-emptive action. The Right didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that were killed, we did. The Right doesn't care that the US is supporting Saudi Arabia's war (genocide) in Yemen, we do, The Right doesn't care that we occupied Iraq for years, we did. The Right didn't care that we were planning a war with Iran, we did. The right didn't care when Trump left the Iranian peace deal, we were screaming about it. The right didn't care when we did air strikes on Iran or assassinated one of their top leaders, we did. The right doesn't care about drone strikes killing hundreds of civilians each year, we do. And we cared about it under Bush, Obama, and Trump. My point wasn't whether Libya was the correct action or not, it was the motivations behind it and the fact that you are drawing a false equivalency between the "liberal" support for military action vs the right wing support for military actions. You're trying to say that every situation is the same and that is not the case. The fact is we got in and we got out of Libya, we did it with the support and cooperation of other nations, and we left on good terms. This is not the same as Iraq, Afghanistan, or Venezuela. --"According to a 2012 poll conducted by Gallup, 54% of Libyans approve of U.S. leadership, compared to only 22% and 19% respective approval for China and Russia's, and 75% of Libyans say they approved of NATO's military intervention in the civil war."

  10162.  @maximmatusevich3971  As far as voting goes. In 2016 Russian's infiltrated political organizations, manipulated social media, created "fake news", and had a massive hacking operation that hacked both the RNC and DNC (although only the DNC emails were leaked) and hacked voting machines themselves. Google: "Russia Targeted Election Systems in All 50 States, Report Finds". Dozens of indictments were made and a lot of Russian diplomats died suddenly after the 2016 election. All of our intelligence agencies confirmed the meddling that was taking place however The right pretended that any concerns over Russia were all lies and made up, because it benefited Trump to ignore it. And now you pretend that the only fraud and hacking that could have occurred is ONLY to benefit Biden. It's absurd.... The difference is we let whatever investigation take place if there is any merit to it, because we care about the truth. We don't pretend every investigation that doesn't benefit us is a hoax. All anyone on the left ever asks for is to count every vote and to not disenfranchise voters. Which happens every single election. Brian Kemp literally kicked hundreds of thousand of likely Democratic voters off the rolls just before his election. A lot of companies are connected to right wing pundits and politicians as well. The difference is we don't automatically discount information just because of some "connection". FusionGPS was originally hired by a right wing media outlet to do opposition research on Trump before the Clinton campaign. You guys have no problem with Trump, or the Right wing, paying for opposition research, which they do all the time, yet somehow it automatically becomes nefarious when the same thing is done by Clinton.

  10163.  @maximmatusevich3971  I think it's pretty ridiculous to think that because an intelligence agency lied before therefore they ALL are lying now and every person is in on the conspiracy. So therefore lets not investigate anything. Sorry, but that's just irrational. sorry. There were literally dozens of arrests and indictments and you're pretending that it was just someone's conspiracy theory. Yes we do have a lot of paranoia over voting, emails, q-anon, etc. But as always there is a difference between empirical evidence, anecdotal evidence, and "something looks funny". Yes I use a scientific poll because how else are you going to gauge public sentiment for or against something other than just guessing? You're doing the same thing as you were doing before.... Creating a narrative and pretending everything is the same. Sorry but it is not.
    1
  10164.  @maximmatusevich3971  So making the claim that all media is lying and that all the jurors who saw the evidence and indicted a dozens of people in relation to that meddling is somehow a conspiracy theory? You're making a series of claims that i government agencies, media, Clinton campaign, numerous grand jurors are all conspiring with each other to lie about Russian meddling in the 2016 election and you're trying to pretend you're not making up a narratives and conspiracy theories? At the same time you started this thread making unsubstantiated claims spread by trash blogs who do in fact release false stories just for "clicks" involving voting fraud and you're expecting me to take you seriously? The fact that you cannot see your own bias is astounding. I'm not sitting here claiming that Russia in fact stole the 2016 election, however it's clear they were involved in a lot of meddling specifically to get Trump elected that required investigation. It would be just as dumb to claim that the US has never been involved in election meddling in other countries. It's absurd. Sorry.
    1
  10165.  @maximmatusevich3971  Pretending we have different threshold for evidence is pretty laughable giving the claims you have made in this thread that you did not have evidence for. For example the voter fraud claims and the claims of everyone conspiring to fake election meddling. So you can spare me the condescension. Of course there was hacking before 2016... There has been a long history of espionage from all the world powers spanning hundreds of years and for some reason you believe it all stopped in 2016.
    1
  10166.  @maximmatusevich3971  I have no idea what listing out a bunch of names and labels is supposed to mean in this conversation. Again I never said the election results were changed, I just said there was clear evidence of several attempts at meddling, several instances of hacking, spreading disinformation, and infiltration into political groups, all during 2016 and to pretend that the investigation into these attempts and everyone involved in it is somehow a "conspiracy" or paranoia is just absurd.
    1
  10167.  @maximmatusevich3971  There is no such thing as an "official story of collusion". So I have no idea what you're talking about. Your problem is that you're arguing against someone's narrative that isn't even defined... The fact that both the DNC and RNC were hacked and that only the DNC's emails were leaked just before the election, makes it pretty clear what the intent was. You would have to be hopelessly naive to not know why those emails were leaked. You seriously think that someone randomly decided to leak DNC emails and the 2016 election was not on their minds at all? 😂You can't possibly be serious... That has got to be the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life.
    1
  10168.  @maximmatusevich3971  Claiming something is not a "fact" without evidence for it. Is not a rational argument sorry, The FBI (Republicans no less) confirmed that the RNC was hacked along with others. So for you to just pretend otherwise with ZERO evidence is just not rational. If you're responding to a fact by claiming that a "conspiracy happened" and that everyone in the FBI is lying for "reasons", then you're not being a serious person. Furthermore the fact that Jonathan Morgan ran an experiment in 2018 using the tactics of Russian bots in 2016 doesn't somehow mean that the Russian bots were "fake".... Do you understand what a non-sequitur is? That's like saying because someone was murdered in 2018 in a similar way someone was murdered in 2016 Therefore the 2016 murder didn't happen. It's not a logical argument.
    1
  10169.  @maximmatusevich3971  Dude once again I'm giving you facts and you're replying with conspiracy.... I don't know the details of how exactly the Republicans knew they were hacked or how the FBI conducted their investigation. Nor am I a cyber security expert who followed their entire investigation. I just know it's matter of public record. Now if you're going to claim that the FBI and everyone else is LYING for no reason then you need to substantiate that argument. And I gave you an article FROM CROWDSTRIKE published this year that verified everything from the FBI and the Senate intelligence committee. You decided to ignore it. So is your claim that they are lying too for no reason? Yeah it's really GREAT for business to be a cybersecurity firm and then pretend you were hacked... 🙄 Again, all your arguments come back to some conspiracy and it's not a rational train of thought. You're working back from a conclusion and selectively ignoring basic information.

  10170. @UCZIr1Gc_EMe_gmi2YgTHcDQ I’m not a shill for the intelligence community, but if your evidence that crowd strike, FBI, and various agencies are all lying and conspiring includes “evidence” like Clinton and Crowdstrike using the same law firm, then how can I take you seriously? Your evidence is even weaker than the evidence your complaining about and yet you’re pretending that it should supersede everything else.
    1
  10171.  @maximmatusevich3971  Again, your entire premise relies on assuming data from many servers was tampered with while at the same time assuming a motive for the tampering with ZERO evidence for either. You go from a simple story of espionage to the most involved case of obstruction of justice this country has ever been seen.... GIGABYTES worth of data was turned over to the FBI. Do you have any idea how long and time consuming it would take for someone to alter file meta data, memory dumps, server logs, and network logs to simulate a hack from a particular source and have it be convincing enough to fool the FBI? "Super easy"? Are you insane? Never mind the fact that all the people involved with gathering that data who would also be risking jail time for falsifying evidence and obstruction of justice. All you're doing is replacing the facts with a narrative you would rather believe. You've been living so long with this "conspiracy" that you can no longer can see straight. You don't even realize that your "theory" requires far more assumptions and leaps in logic, because you've never bothered to challenge it.

  10174. @ggadguy The concept of "country" does not exist without government, its what makes this land we live on "sovereign", and sets the rules, boundaries for the society we live in. So I would indeed go that far. Corruption is entirely different. "Politicians" are concerned about campaign contributions, which is just a tiny fraction of overall government. Unfortunately it's the fraction that's supposed to lead and represent the people's will....

  10177. It's interesting how Trump can lie 30,000 times during his presidency and Republicans still believe him. Meanwhile "the media" can get a couple things wrong 10 years ago or 3 years ago and suddenly "the media" is to blame for people blindly believing in lies.... Do you honestly think that if Brian Williams didn't call missiles "beautiful" that suddenly no one would believe Trump? Of course not. People believed Trump because that's WHAT THEY WANTED to believe. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.

The Reagan/Carter election was completely publically funded, they spent less than 30 million (which is too much IMO). Now we're talking about BILLION dollar elections. There's an effort to create constitutional amendments, but we can't just "start over". The government does more for you than you realize. The problem is that it doesn't advertise. You only hear about the things that go wrong.

  10181. All that is correct, but it also means the American public are even less likely to listen to a message of anyone who resorts to violence. Do most people even know the motivations behind 911?

  10182.  @shawn13mertle13  It kind of doesn't matter when it would happen, it's the principle of the thing. I mean if the country decided to ban abortion 50 years from now, it's not like I would suddenly be okay with it.

  10183.  @robe2504  Because drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and consuming desserts are personal choices. Captive animals don't have a choice in what they consume, poisons or otherwise. Our governments and by extension "society" is based on the free association of humans, it isn't based on the free association of animals or plants.
    1
  10184.  @robe2504  It's actually not difficult to find the limits. Rights end where other people's rights begin. Prohibition was all about forcing people to not harm themselves with alcohol. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. Using force in this way has always been authoritarian in my opinion. It's very typical, and basic human behavior. to want to ban things that you don't participate in. I'm sure most people in New Zealand don't smoke so it easy to ban cigarettes. Change the topic to alcohol, desserts, fast food, sausages, or driving cars and suddenly no one wants to ban those things regardless of health implications. It's entirely hypocritical. Same reason why gay marriage was unheard of for some many decades, because it only impacted a minority. Personally, I've never drank alcohol, smoked, or wanted to gay marry anyone. but I've always found laws banning alcohol sales, drugs, gay marriage, etc. to be completely insane. In my mind you're either for freedom and autonomy or you're not. --"a company would be able to put a new product on the market if it was known to be toxic, addictive and dangerous?" Protecting people from toxic substances they don't know about is entirely different than protecting people from their own wishes and desires. For example, a toxic food additive should be regulated. However, warnings about consuming bleach, or cigarettes, should be on labels. I've done various activities like snowboarding and skydiving which can be very dangerous. Should I also be banned from endangering myself? Should all dangerous activities be banned? In my mind the "limits" are far harder to define when you go down this path.
    1
  10185.  @robe2504  I think I was pretty clear when I said, "personal rights end when other people's rights begin". You seemed to gloss over that statement and suggest that I have no limits. When that is obviously not the case. Umm... Cigarettes and Cigars have no value "to you". Just like gay marriage and alcohol have no value "to me". However, it is not my job, nor is it your job, to decide what other people should "value". It would be incredibly arrogant for me to think that my opinion on whether something is valuable should dictate how other people should live. Are you going to start dictating whether movies, TV, video games, comics, etc. is valuable or not? Again, this is no different than the right wing's stance on abortion, porn, trans issues, etc. And it's amazing to me that you cannot see that. Yes, I'm saying that people need to be protected from toxic substances that they don't know about. But things like alcohol, drugs, sugar, fats, etc. that people know have downsides, and we have clear labels for, should be entirely based on their own judgement. There's nothing nonsensical about that point. That's called respecting people's freedoms and allowing people to live their life. I have no ambiguity here. I've been pretty consistent in the idea that it's not up to the government to dictate that people should protect themselves or decide what they can and cannot consume.

  10186.  @robe2504  Well, whether someone is vaccinated or not has little to do with you. I hope you realize that vaccination doesn't stop transmission, so your question should be about wearing masks. We have had many ordinances across the country about wearing masks indoors. Just like we have ordinances against smoking indoors. However, we don't have laws that force you to wear a mask in your house. I didn't say everyone would agree on every limit, only that finding that limit was simpler than you were making it out to be in the examples you were giving. It certainly gets more complicated on issues like abortion, pollution, and censorship.

  10187. This is all subjective and a little stupid IMO... "Pop" is just defined as whatever is popular at the time. We've always had a mixture of popular singers and bands that gained popularity by talent or looks and sometimes both. Just look at the 80s, 90s.... And I'm sorry Ana, those pictures of Adele are glamour shots that anyone can get once they can get decent photographers and make up artists. But she is a pretty darn good singer though.

  10188. Cenk... I wish actual research was done here instead of: "LOOK AT THOSE CRAZY CHINESE!

These scrape the eyes and can cause BLINDNESS if left untreated. So it's logical that Chinese villages who had outbreaks of this, and no access to antibiotics or modern surgery, found a way to at least manage the symptoms.

Just like the media told them it was okay to turn against Sanders and support Biden. Right now right wing media is still solidly behind Trump even though mainstream right wing media has been backing off of Trump slightly. As long as right wing media allows them to hold onto their fantasy of reliving 2016 they're going to continue support Trump and if you think it has anything to do with "policy" you're kidding yourself.

The guy sees this as an admission of guit and starts punching back Crowder doesn't fight back because he knows the guy was angry for being pushed down.

Today the political influence of unions is insignificant compared to that of corporations.

When unions were stronger we had a thriving economy and middle class. Even republicans like Eisenhouer strongly supported them.

Tulsi isn't anti-bombs or anti-drone strikes, she is against a specific vague kind of war. She has no problems bombing Muslims. She has no problems torturing Muslims. As she has stated many times she is a "hawk when it comes to the war on terror". The Anti-war movement is with Sanders. Who not only has spoke out against the wars in Iraq, yemen, syria, etc. he also speaks out against the violence against Palestinians, Kashmir, Venezuela, etc. Meanwhile Tulsi doesn't defend the palestinians or the Kashmirians while she cozies up to a Hindu nationalists waging anti Muslim campaign. I don't trust ANYONE else on that stage when it comes to war and peace, Sorry. Don't even get me started on her "present" vote. As if she can't decide on whether Trump abused his power or not.

What does sexual assault, robbery, or crime have to do with guns? Do you think guns make people horny? Do you think people need a gun to shoplift, hotwire a car, or sell drugs? The debate on guns is about people dying THAT'S ALL

Yes, people with Covid that didn't get a vaccine are clogging up our healthcare system, but let's not pretend that our healthcare system was great before that. Let's not pretend that we couldn't have prepared better to handle the pandemic and have the extra facilities to handle a pandemic, especially TWO YEARS into this thing.

  10233. It's rare that Ana is the reasonable one in the discussion, but she clearly was in this case. Cenk contradicted himself a lot here and came off rambling. Firing one guy immediately for expressing his opinion isn't going to magically "fix" anything, This guy clearly spent a lot of time, research, and analysis to write out this memo in order reach out to superiors in a thoughtful way. It could have been the start of a positive conversation within the company or just a conversation between himself and HR. However instead he was fired by the thought police for "political correctness". Don't ever express an opinion, just do your job. Ana is completely right in every way except at the very end when she buckled a bit saying that it would be okay if he was "suspended". Suspended? Seriously? For what? Did he yell at a coworker? Did he say that women shouldn't be hired? Christ people. A guy can't share his opinions/concerns to the company in a thoughtful way without fear of getting fired? The proper way of handling it would be for management to respond to the memo, explain what was right and wrong about it. Instead they decided to fire someone with less power simply because they were embarrassed when the memo was leaked.

You can buy a brain interface off the shelf these days that can be used to control a throttle with your mind (by visualizing something) without requiring any kind of surgery. He's also just barely moving enough to go around the track. People paralyzed from the waist down have been driving cars with hand controls for about a century now. So this is currently not actually providing any benefit.

  10250. At the same time.... When you attempt to compare minor scandals over 8 years of Obama's presidency to the outlandish scandals Trump has had over the course of 8 months then you're unintentionally creating a false equivalency.

  10251. Obama never used the IRS to attack political groups. This is a complete lie debunked many times. I question where you get your information from, clearly it's one of those cites that make money though click bait fake stories.
    1
  10252. My sources are the actual investigations by Congress, the FBI, and DOJ which all concluded that there was no bias and specifically no involvement from the white house. Although there were some issues in management and bureaucracy. YOUR CLAIM was that "obama [was] using his IRS to attack political groups" which is in fact a bold faced *lie*. Apparently you don't realize that using Obama's statements chastising the IRS doesn't support the idea that he was somehow behind it all.....LOL
    1
  10253. Bringing up Obama's race, as if that's somehow pertinent to this conversation, says a lot more about you than it does me.... Based on your logic you would say that Trump is responsible for the FBI and James Comey investigating him. I'm sorry, but that's just dumb. It's called common sense. If Trump or his staff are personally involved then Trump has responsibility. If Trump appoints someone that does something wrong then he has some responsibility for that bad appointment. However placing blame on a white house that wasn't involved and for a guy appointed by the previous administration is beyond stupid. If you don't understand nuance of these issues or what actually caused them then you really don't know what the hell you're trying to fix.
    1
  10254. We place blame on Trump for those issues directly tying to Trump and his administration. Bullshit "guilt by association" ideas are just mindless arguments that I won't even entertain. We define Trump scandals as those things that he and his administration are involved with, not everything bad that just so happened to happen while he was president. Your original suggestion was that Obama personally directed the IRS to target certain groups. Which I repeat, is a complete lie.
    1
  10255. If you want to bring up valid scandals for Obama then why not bring up the fact that he was the first president to execute an american citizen oversees using a drone strike? There are valid criticisms that you can tie directly to Obama, but the bullshit ones that you're bringing up are just nonsensical.
    1
  10256. So you're deciding to redefining what a "scandal" is then? I already gave you my criteria for what a president should and shouldn't be responsible for. So bringing up skin color again either means you have a reading comprehension problem or you're a racist.

  10257. 1. Owning a car does increase you likelihood of being in a car crash. Which is why since "Driving" is a choice we've made as a society we try to mitigate the downsides with vehicle safety laws, mandatory registration, driver's licenses, and insurance to pay for accidents and deaths. 2. I fail to see what Japan has to do with anything. Just because more guns per capita increase suicides doesn't mean not having guns eliminates suicides. It would be "idiotic" to draw that conclusion.

We are not "economizing" our resources, we're simply shuffling fiat money around in an outdated game that we created for ourselves.

  10263. Your "media" arguments are kind of bull$hit. The Bush Administration lied about Iraq, the media blindly went along with it because they assumed they weren't being lied to, especially given the state of the country following 911. This is ENTIRELY different than Fox News, OAN, News Max, Alex Jones, making up vast conspiracies and calling for people to be jailed. Furthermore you've claimed NUMOUROUS times that the Clinton Foundation was corrupt and you have zero evidence for it even though it's been investigated multiple times, so by your own standards you are responsible for this too.... There's a difference between being complicit and not understanding when you are being lied to by authorities when it came to Iraq. There is a difference between speculation on Trump and Russia based on the overwhelming evidence that was coming out during the course of that investigation. There is a difference between that and the outright propaganda that comes out of Trump, Fox, OAN, NewsMax, etc. I'm sick and tired of these false equivalences.

  10264. @hzthereaper Relating pool to geometry is exactly how you attempt to relate buying milk to algebra. Although your reference to buying milk is a poor one... As I would argue that it's simple arithmetic. However the point that you refuse to comprehend. Is that the knowledge gained from studying algebra in school is not a applicable to most people's lives. So therefore focusing on studying it over and over is far less meaningful than say studing mortgages or credit.

At the same time, I worry that women like her with admitted mental issues may feel great and supported with all the attention and joy she's getting from "having a baby", but then when all of that is gone not really being able to care for the child properly. There are lots of kids who grow up being used as a crutch for a parent's mental issues and it's not a fun place to be.

I'm simpy saying that Cenk misrepresented his position. 2. Your second comment pretty much proves that you're not being rational. You're simply having an emotional response to the idea of religion. You should spend more time understanding what people mean/say instead of just looking for something meaningless to fight against.

  10273. So.....  you're just going to ignore the whole "Russia thing" that's been going on all week? Normally you jump on news pretty quick, but strangely enough it's been crickets. When it came to the Clinton Foundation you jumped on every shred of hints of corruption that were completely unproven, but when it comes to Trump and Russia you pretend as if it doesn't exists. It would be nice if you had some consistency here. I'd have much more respect if you just came out and said "Hey, we gotta let the investigation play out, but there is a good chance I may have been wrong here"

People get confused over the difference between institutional racism vs "a white guy shooting a black guy". The outrage wasn't just over the killing it was over how the police presumed Zimmerman's innocence and proceeded to sweep the investigation under the rug.

  10303. Cenk... Based on your logic of "people have been seeing things for decades so there must be some truth to it" then you must also believe in God, because there are stories all over the world where people claim to talk to God, see Jesus, angles, demons, etc. For many centuries people also claimed to see fairies, elves, mermaids, and all sorts of creatures. People seeing things and creating a fantasy around it (based on the stories they've already heard) is something that has been going on since the dawn of humanity.

  10304.  @mark.of.the.beast.6662  No kidding. No one is telling you to get Covid. However there are millions in this country who have already had it. Any policy for an infectious disease should account for people who have already had the disease. Instead we have a policy that is completely without nuance. Vax vs Anti-Vax is pretty much all we get to talk about in this country and I'm sitting here wondering why everything needs to be polarized. In my mind people making an argument that recovering from a virus doesn't give you immunity to a virus are just as crazy as people claiming that getting a vaccine doesn't give you immunity to a virus. They are two sides of the same insane coin.

  10305.  @kennet7837  Did you forget that unlike RFK she was already in debates for 2020? She's been running for president since 2019 and her campaign has been a mess. Again, if you think that she is the "best candidate" when there's no evidence supporting that, you're going on nothing more than blind faith. Yes name recognition is a big part of our politics but as a candidate you need to be able to overcome that, not wait for a debate and hope it works out. At this time in 2015 Bernie was already at 26% in the polls well before a debate even happened.

  10306.  @kennet7837  Well if you want everyone to elevate and put a spotlight on Marianne then of course she'll have an advantage, but that's not how the world works. The incumbent advantage always exists. Which is why you didn't hear much about the 4 people who ran against Trump in the GOP primary in 2020. Which is just another disadvantage for Marianne, she's not an incumbent and she would running against a former president that everyone knows 🤷🏽‍♂ All you're doing is bringing up more arguments for why she wouldn't be a good candidate right now. The reason I bring up 2016 is to show that Bernie was gaining traction before debating. He was running a good campaign because he had experience doing so.

  10314. @SpencerMoseley If you can find a recent study to substantiate that claim I'd like to see it. Most I can find are from 10 years ago. More recent studies that account for socio-economic status and random sampling seem to indicate either no difference, a slight edge to public education, or a slight edge to private catholic schools for minorities. Personally I think there's zero advantage and it's just people fighting over ideology. The key is not to screw over kid's education in the process.

  10315. matthejna You can definitely scientifically say weather freedom or equality is more important in most cases. The problem is we don't even try. I would say at least 90% of the issues we argue about are quantifiable. Instead we pretend as if "guessing" is a perfectly acceptable approach to running a damn country and making life and death choices.

  10316. tu nguyen, figuring out what kind of healthcare is cheaper and has better outcomes is not a "philosophy" it is something quantifiable and measurable. The problem with this country is this idea that fucking guessing should be the solution to running a country and solving most life and death problems. "Guessing" isn't the way we solve problems and until humanity wakes the fuck up to that idea we will continue to have issues on this planet.

  10317. matthejna What's there to "interpret" between more and less people dying? Yes there is a way to lie with statistics, but there is also a way to verify, and peer review statistics. Yet not even a fraction of that is happening today. So instead of attempting to actually verify the life and death issues we vote on, we decide to just throw up our hands and cry "fake news" I guess everyone's guess is good enough.... Imagine if we took that same attitude towards surgery and medicines. "Stats and numbers can be misleading sometimes so let's not test any of this shit at all!!! Everyone can just guess what works! Lets bring back the snake oil salesman and witch doctors!! Yay!!!!"

  10318. seeibe, The point is that most political problems can be solved by scientific analysis and yet we don't even try or attempt to. Of course some will come down to values, but wouldn't it be great to solve the 90% we can solve scientifically? We're not even arguing about animal welfare in congress right now. Though personally I think those values suck (or are misplaced). We kill trillions of insects, birds, rodents and amphibians just in the pesticides we use to grow crops. We destroy billions more ripping up the topsoil for crops. We kills hundreds of thousands of birds each year just by having buildings. You kill insects just by driving down the road. So unless you live in the vacuum of space your value really isn't "not harming animals" because you cannot live as human on this earth without harming another animal. Most life consumes or destroys other life on this planet in some way. So in my mind the value should really be insuring that all life thrives in a functioning healthy planetary ecosystem and yes that also includes plant life.

You have to question as to why everything you believe is based on your beliefs and propaganda you read on the internet. 2. Perhaps it's the fact that more men own guns and you're more likely to die from a gun when you own guns... You can "guess" as to what the reasons are, but unless you have actual studies all you have are "guesses". Science starts with a guess it doesn't end with one.

Making a dumb blond joke isn't racist becuase "blonde" isn't a race it's a hair color. However people in fact do think making dumb blonde jokes is "sexist" because it used to demean women. If I pick any word or sterotype and use it for a race for the specific purpose of demeaning that race then I am in fact being a "racist". It's not that hard of a concept really

If your best option is a gasoline based car then you're basically "forced" to drive. Safe bike lanes create an option people didn't have before. Government has ALWAYS made decisions based on better or more efficient means of travel.

It wouldn't have been won without help from France, Spain, etc. We not only received supplies and financial support, but we also received help militarily. France and Spain kept Britain's ships preoccupied in other areas and blocked their advances into the colonies. The American colonies were basically caught up in a global conflict it's disingenuous to imply we didn't need help.

  10336. Not sure how it makes the situation better if AOC heard it or it was told to a detainee... The "point" is that this is a nation of immigrants. I suggest you actually understand the history of this country and the current situation. We never responded to immigrants or asylum seekers with concentration camps before. We never used cruelty as a deterrent to immigration... In fact many of the immigrants arriving to this country in Ellis Island didn't need a passport or anything and were detained for a 3 hours at most. If your family immigrated here in the past you benefited from the lax immigration policies this country had. Furthermore this has nothing to do with "liberals" unauthorized immigration DROPPED under Obama and the overall population of unauthorized immigrants fell. Stop covering for Trump's incompetence and the humanitarian crises that he CREATED. This didn't need to happen. Trump made it his issue and everything he's done to "fix" the problem has only made everything worse and now people are dead because of it.

This isn't an "achievement" this is incompetence and people like you who just blindly fall for the spin should really be ashamed of yourselves for lack of basic critical thinking.

  10344.  @domenicduartesr.672  So what is your issue with Omar then? Because you're basically reversing your original position.... Omar agrees with that 100% and she also calls out out our involvement with Saudi Arabia and providing weapons for their wars. Instead of actually discussing our involvement with these countries and perpetrating war people would rather just smear people like Omar as being Antisemitic.
    1
  10345.  @domenicduartesr.672  You're making a lot of blanket statements and accusations on Omar without providing any context or supporting evidence. It's really no different than claiming you "like child molesters". So why would you turn around and do the same thing to Omar? To be actually "fair" Trump is far more guilty of infidelity and disgusting behavior. The same people who slander Omar with infidelity while supporting a man who cheated on his pregnant wives with porn stars and prostitutes, admitted to grabbing women by the genitals, and has 24 women accusing him of sexual assault are 100% hypocrites. You say you're "independent", but you're clearly influenced by a ton of propaganda.

  10346.  @domenicduartesr.672  There was not a single question in that long comment I was responding to.... So why would you blatantly lie like that? 🤔 I gave you a chance to clarify specifically what you were referring to with Omar and you are either unable to or you just refuse to. Sorry, but I'm not here to talk about your fan fiction. I can only talk about specific issues and specific statements. Those are what we call "facts".... Again, what specific comments from Omar are you referring to? You do realize that things you just make up are not real arguments, right? Again, you seem to be doing the very thing you accuse other people of doing to you. Which sounds like "projection".

  10347.  @domenicduartesr.672  1. Yes, I admire her strength and her principles. As one of the 1st Muslims in congress, she's been smeared incessantly by conservatives and receives constant death threats. Yet she rises above that and continues to fight for what she believes in and remains uncorrupted by money and the influences in her own party even though if she may die for it. So who wouldn't admire that? 2. You've said this several times now without providing a shred of evidence. If this was something Omar did often you should have lots of examples. When I call Trump a "liar" I can list off a dozen examples off the top of my head, then I could go on the Internet and find hundreds more. Yet you seem incapable of even finding ONE case of Omar shutting down an argument in such a way. So your argument doesn't carry weight or make logical sense. It is based entirely on a "feeling". Therefore I can deduce that your "feeling" comes from propaganda instead of anything factual. The fact that you keep repeating it, means that you're either unaware of how irrational your claims are or you're purposely being disingenuous.

  10348.  @domenicduartesr.672  Without quotes I just don't believe you, sorry. I can certainly believe she called Trump a racist. However everything else requires a quote and context from you.

It's like how Nancy Pelosi believes that aliens were responsible for her becoming speaker of the house.... I can't give you a quote or any context for that, because it's just some bullshit I made up. 😂 Now are you going to be real here or are you just going to keep making things up over and over and pretend it's an argument? 🤔

He turned himself into a team mascot who runs around the field making the audience laugh while antagonizing the other team. Then he complains about being tokenized while living his life as a token every single day... It's sad. He should actually try to understand policy instead just looking at everything through the lens of a nonsense culture war and who he can "trigger". I have a feeling when he gets a bit older he's going to look back on this period of his life with embarrassment.

These people are scraping by, whatever "extra" they have at most might go to a "pizza night". Most of their income goes to buying goods and services to live so they pay lots of sales tax and practically no federal taxes.

Europe was devistated from war so many immigrants and german scientists came to the US which led to vast innovations in technology. So It's not a simple matter of "freedom" = "prosperity".

Try to educate yourself a little on the history before falling for simplistic ideas that people like you have the luxury of imagining. Whereas people in 3rd world countries are sick and dying because their lands and waters are being destroyed and exploited for resources, for profit. They wish they had a society that could defend themselves from constant exploitation while they sit around on youtube pontificating on morality.

  10363.  @rancidwraith3298  You have a right to vote who represents you in a democracy. However corporations are basically dictatorships who have an incentive (a mandate) to make money at all costs. Countries have welfare because having lots of poor dying people is bad for society and people who are old, disabled, and mentally incapable require some kind of assistance. Markets will not magically fix everything for everyone. They never have and they never will.

  10364.  @rancidwraith3298  Corporations buy off politicians, use their influence to start wars and "coups" in various countries, perpetuated slavery and various forms of inequality for hundreds of years, pollute our environment, and are literally destroying the planet... If you are truly concerned with "power imbalance" then you should understand that money is the largest influence in the world today... Money usurps justice. The founders never devised any economic check and balance even though they repeatedly warned against "aristocracy". The only check we have today against an oligarchy is government and democracy, despite the fact that money is the main corrupting influence on that government. Resources are finite, however the profit motive will always exploit every last resource (oil, diamonds, gold, rain-forests, people, animals, etc) for the sake of profit no matter the long term consequences.
    1
  10365.  @rancidwraith3298  Yes I've heard the argument many times before... The basic flaw and naivete of your thinking is that you somehow believe that corporations (or any groups of individuals) cannot have weapons, use force, enslave people, steal property, force children to work, pollute rivers, etc. The ONLY reason corporations cannot use force is because they are constrained by a greater force. Laws, regulations, courts, police, FBI, etc. Keep people and the profit motive, in check. You were born into a society were all of this was just handed to you, so you take it for granted and believe that only government has force when that has never been the case... Just travel to Somalia or Afghanistan and see a world ruled by warlords and groups of individuals without democratically controlled force, and see what the alternative is like. This is why societies like ours do not just magically appear. Even the money that you were taught to covet, is nothing more than a societal construction. It has no value outside of the government that regulates a stable currency.

  10371. Might be less deadly too. The odds are that viruses mutate into less deadlier strains. Just like the Spanish Flu did. No matter what we do at this point, we're not going to stop the virus from spreading or mutating. We're long past the point where that is even possible.
    1
  10372.  @samiamrg7  True, but that isn't the argument being made. Banning travel from places where Omicron was detected is counterproductive since Omicron is less deadly than what we already have and doesn't change existing local mitigation efforts (masks, vaccines, etc.).

  10373.  @samiamrg7  I think it's more accurate to say that vaccines are the best weapon against Covid symptoms in adult populations. However, they don't stop transmission and mutations will still happen. The new antibody treatments are the best weapon for immunocompromised individuals who cannot produce enough antibodies on their own. That would stop the likelihood of new variants, because variants incubate in immunocompromised people who cannot fight the virus, but the odds that those treatments will be made widely available in the "global south" countries let alone available to poor rural areas in those countries is highly unlikely anytime soon. Furthermore, let's not forget that there is still a viral reservoir in numerous animals all over the world that have been infected with Covid. Where the virus can also mutate and spread. Covid moving forward is less about stopping a pandemic and more about living with an endemic virus that will end up being a new seasonal cold/flu virus.

  10374. You're against the death penalty because innocent people can be killed by the state. However your stance on voting would basically mean that the central park 5 could not vote for the 13 years they served in prison.... I think it's fundamentally wrong for the state to take away your freedom and your voice, because what if the point of incarceration is to take away your voice? I think it's pretty fucked up that our criminal justice system is mainly based on getting revenge on bad people rather than actually reducing crime. The fact that you're okay with killing a person that you think is guilty is based on that same mindset. You're not a psychiatrist so you have ZERO bases for the judgement of believing that anyone who did something bad would likely do it again. So everything you believe is just based on "wouldn't be cool to kill the bad guy".

  10391. @Logan Sanddollar Me responding to someone else bringing up abortion is not your problem, but it seems you have nothing more to contribute other than policing the internet by complaining about what other people choose to bring up and discuss. You should really get used to people talking about things you don't want to talk about. It's going to happen every day.

  10397. We all know that when a white guy kills 20 kids at a school, kills a bunch of people at a church, kills a woman after mowing down a crowd of people in Charleston, and kills 60 people (wounding hundreds) in Las Vegas that it's not a big deal. We don't ever feel the need to attribute the actions of white men to a group or an ideology that you need to be afraid of. However as soon as it's a brown guy then it must be BLM or all Muslims. It can never be a lone crazy person.

  10398. This proves that Trump honestly believes in nonsense conspiracy theories.... He genuinely thought that the DNC was going to just replace Biden at the last minute with Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton after Biden had effectively already won the primary. As if that's a thing. 😂 It shows you that Trump is really "mentally deficient" yet he got an entire party to believe in his delusions.

  10399. Sorry, but the Constitution places restrictions on the US government... period. The 5th amendment explicitly says "no person" shall persecuited without a "Grand Jury" or "Due Process". It NOT "US Citizen" nor does it say only within "US jurisdiction". "Combatants" is simply a term we made up to kill people we suspect. These kills are not in the context of a "declared war" nor in the context of "gun battle". That is just a LIE we tell ourselves feel better about murdering people.

  10400. Sorry, calling people names and running away doesn't somehow make you correct. I didn't come here to insult you, only correct your ideas. All animals consume living cells (plants & animal) out of drives and instincts from millions of years of evolution. Give your dog a choice between a raw meaty bone or highly processed crap dog food made from corn & soy by-products and he'll choose the meaty bone every time. It doesn't make your dog "greedy", a murderer, or immoral, it just makes him a dog.

  10401. You kind of have to be subservient to your base when you hardly have any policies to run on. It's also easy to cuck politicians when the base cares more about cult of personality and culture wars.

  10402.  @GR3YS0RG4N1CS  So you're saying we should waste resources, destroy the environment, and throw away billions of dollars creating entire cities and districts just for the off chance that it makes real estate slightly cheaper for the next generation? Sorry, but that makes no sense. First off, it's not like real-estate is that cheap where people actually want to live. Secondly it would be far cheaper and efficient to just subsidize housing or make building new houses where people want to live cheaper. Creating a slew of buildings and cities only to find out no will live there years later is completely absurd. A lot of it is to just line the pockets of the people building and investing in that real-estate. You literally have buildings collapsing with people inside because of how cheaply a lot of these buildings are constructed. It is not something to put on a pedestal as the way it should work in this country.

  10403. It's capitalism because people don't buy comic strips directly, they buy newspapers, magazines, etc. that contain the comic strip. Newspapers decide what content they support and don't support. Just like YouTube does. Just because a content creator, journalist, op-ed writer, etc. is okay one day, doesn't mean the platform can't get rid of them. Capitalism is not: "It was there before so therefore it has to be there always". Capitalism is literally the ownership of the means of production. In this case, someone or a group of people who own a platform can decide to remove something if they think it reflects badly on them or really for any reason they decide. Understand?

If your child, mother, father, sister, brother was suddenly killed OF COURSE you would want a trial and an investigation to find out what really happened. We don't live in a society where we simply believe the killer who just killed somebody, because his story sounds like a good one....

  10408. "saying White babies do not have a right to exist." 1. No one said anything of the sort... A "strawman" is when you simply make up the argument you wish to argue against. In other words: stop making shit up. 2. There are black, whites, and everything in between living in Europe and Africa. So I'm not sure what you are talking about... Humanity began in Africa and we have always migrated. So yes, being obsessed with miniscule genetic adaptations to diferent climates is pretty stupid.

  10413.  @de6212  No, it's a perfect example, because the fact is some people were getting veterinary ivermectin, but the vast majority were not. So when you suggest that the vast majority are taking horse pills based on a couple stories, then you're essentially lying to make an argument. This is literally no different than the right wing pretending that the entire BLM movement was about vandalism and terrorism when that involved only like 1% of the protests, Could you find people on social media advocating violence and vandalism on behalf of George Floyd, etc.? Sure, but the vast majority of the protests were peaceful. So it is entirely hypocritical to turn around and do the same thing for the sake of making a point about vaccines.

Tell me how many videos have you seen on Fox talking about the white supremacists that have murdered dozens of cops or the planned murder of cops in Texas recently? Gee wouldn't you think that it would be huge news that domestic terrorists are targeting and killing cops?
    1
  10416.  @gutz1981  There is no script to flip. Because if you're talking about actual coordinated domestic terrorism and actual threat to life then there is no larger threat than from the far right. Many of these same people have been involved in started fires and fired weapons in and around protestors. A protestor was shot a few miles from me by a couple who pulled up to some protestors and started opening fire into the crowd. You won't hear the story on Fox that most of the people arrested for looting and vandalism in Minnesota were actually from Far right groups. Because they choose to falsely report that it's all from BLM protestors. You also won't hear that the Wendy's that was set on fire following Rayshard Brook's death was done by a couple of white women who were not at all part of the protestors. That's why it is negligent to report on a random shooting in CHOP until you know what the facts are. Get it?

  10417. There is no such thing as "natural rights", it implies that it exists in nature which it DOES NOT. What you describe is a rough average of cultural morality. Furthermore you suggest "Rights" are immutable when they are ENTIRELY contextual. People without a right to life: A prisoner on death row, a criminal being shot trying to escape, a civilian in a foreign country who's house was just bombed by a drone. As I said before "rights" are determined by our laws and our government.

  10419. The difference is that Dave Rubin says dumb things for money so that his audience feels good about anything related to "Conservatism" whereas Trump is genuinely dumb. Trump wants his name on EVERYTHING so of course he wanted his name on checks, but he has been incredibly dumb on almost all other political decisions when he could have been re-elected EASILY. I'm pretty sure Dave Rubin isn't dumb enough to think you can cure Covid with UV light or disinfectant, however he is shameless enough to justify anything Trump says to his audience for views.

  10426. It's about who holds the power. It's easy for Cenk to brush off some small business owner when that business is in the minority. However when half the town won't serve you then it becomes a civil rights issue. If we got rid of segregation in the South and systematically made it illegal to disciminate people based on race, religion, or gender. Then there's no reason to ignore this concept simply because he's in the minority anymore than we would allow him to ignore food safety or tax laws.

No way, does someone who actually wants to make the world a better place not lead with specific policy objectives, especially after being on camera for a long time... You just don't get that with MAGA people. It's almost always about vague concepts like "woke", hating/demonizing various minority groups, blindly idolizing Trump, wearing team colors and cheerleading gear. There are plenty of politicians I've supported over the years. I'd never wear their clothing and catch phrases for years or go to a pep rally idolizing a person because it's not about the person it's about policies.

  10428. OK I have to agree with Obama on one point.... I disagree with the idea that the Obama administration is "less transparent" because of drone strikes. Just because there is one critical area where you demand transparency, doesn't mean that the administration isn't more transparent overall than other administrations. Drone strikes, as horrible as they are, isn't a litmus test for total transparency. We are still declassifying all sorts of things from LBJ, Nixon, Bush, etc.

Or maybe we should investigate everything that happened and do everything we can to stop bad shit from happening again.

Was the investigation into Hillary's emails and server all a lie too or does it just apply to your candidate? Secondly the FBI wasn't looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, lol... wtf? Obama's businesses weren't bailed out by Russian oligarchs. Obama doesn't have business interests in Russia, Obama's campaign manager wasn't arrested for being a foreign agent. Obama's son didn't go to Russia to speak with a lawyer with ties to kremlin to get help with Trump's campaign. Obama's campaign didn't suddenly change the DNC platform to be pro-Russia. Obama didn't have Russia wage a propaganda and hacking campaign to help him get elected. Obama didn't select the CEO of Exxon Mobile to be his secretary of state whose company wanted to lift the sanctions and make a half a trillion dollar deal with Russia to exploit the Siberian oil fields. Obama didn't go against 98% of congress who voted to continue to sanctions by refusing to enforce them. Obama didn't go on worldwide television saying how the Russian government is better than the US. Of course we want diplomacy with Russia. However there is a BIG difference between diplomacy and literally apologizing to Russia that our government is investigating their election interference. If you cared about actual policy instead of rooting for your damn team, you would know the difference.

Yeah you're probably right... The satanic hysteria from the 70s, 80s, and 90s is likely the grandfather of all of these conspiracy theories. They literally just changed sacrificing children to get "evil power" into sacrificing children for a medical cure or for pedophilia or for political power. It's all the same theme really. You would think that with all the Satanism and evil rituals supposedly going on everywhere that we would all know people doing dark rituals all the time. 😂 But I guess if we knew them it wouldn't be "secret". 😂

  10446. I have no problem with people owning guns. I just wish more gun owners would acknowledge the cost to society when you romanticize guns & make them easily available to people with the "wrong attitude". Many gun owners (perhaps even most) do realize this, but they're drowned out by the fanatics who hate any discussion about gun control or gun safety. I think the US would be better off if we went back to a citizen militia system (like Switzerland) where all citizens were trained in the military.

And the last point is basically just saying that because there "could be" a way of secretly modifying a coronavirus in a way that makes it undetectable to the strains they are known to carry means it is evidence of it coming from a lab. Sorry, but I just don't buy theories that are based on the notion that "lack of evidence is evidence". Theories need to be actually based on something and so far this isn't based on anything other than the happenstance of a virology lab in Wuhan. Show me any evidence where the workers at that lab or their families got infected before anyone else or tested positive for Covid antibodies and I would believe it more.

  10454. Deaths are increasing in rural counties in general. Last year it was in Democratic areas because those were densely populated cities.

  10456.  @lduker9731  I'm stating facts not misinformation. People like you are making things worse because you're so damn caught up in a nonsense culture war that you no longer see facts anymore. You blindly repeat a lie that vaccinated people don't spread the virus, WHICH IS CAUSING PEOPLE TO SPREAD THE VIRUS. You're causing people to think that if they are vaccinated they cannot spread the virus to others WHICH IS 100% FALSE... Think about all the lives that were probably lost over the summer because vaccinated people thought they could go out partying, because people like you and John were constantly repeating over and over that they were keeping people safe by being vaccinated.

  10457.  @siobhanm5764  Your problem is that if I don't pretend that vaccines solve everything in every situation then you automatically assume that I'm an anti-vaxxer.

Vaccines reduce the likelihood of symptoms and deaths, but they DO NOT stop the spread of the virus. So any suggestion that being vaccinated protects other people, it is a completely false statement.

I could do a better job criticising Obama than you. Which means you have no idea how to think for yourself, all you know is how to parrot the talking points handed to you by a campaign. I find that quite sad.

  10474. 1. TYT has been discussing the situation in Syria every day so I have no idea what you're talking about there. 2. It's sad that simply talking about racial disparity causes you to become defensive. If you're rational & mature you should be able to discuss the issue without taking it as a personal attack No one claimed that "white people are evil". However if you simply bury your head in the sand and ignore cultural biases you'll never understand how conflict happens domestically & abroad,,,

  10475. @ggadguy What libertarians don't understand is that Corporations ARE the power at the top. Defunding government or making it weaker isn't going to magically change that fact. Corporations are NOT going to give up their power and influence by making government weaker. Furthermore "free market:" is nothing more than a myth. It NEVER has existed and it NEVER will exist. It's just a dogma fed to people by corporatists. Then it was slightly altered to fit within libertarian ideology.

  10477. You guys are jumping though all sorts of hoops in order to avoid a "double standard", but guess what? THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD.... Women have a history of day to day sexual harassment that is very different from men. Also let's keep it real.... In general an average guy is going to not mind being kissed on the cheek by beautiful women, and an in general an average or elderly woman is not going to mind being kissed on the cheek by a handsome guy. Anyone with common sense would know that the female reporter is not going to want to be kissed and touched by some hairy fat dude. My point is context and judgement matters, If you look at all cases of human interaction under the guise of "sexual harassment" then we're never going to procreate as a species. We're going to live in a society where everyone lives in tiny little boxes afraid to complement or touch one another, etc.. The guy on the panel is right, there is a grey area. Not everything has to be seen through a lens of politically correctness, It's okay to use the common sense we were born with sometimes...

  10478. If your definition of "Nazism" is "logic and common sense", sure I guess to you I'm a Nazi. However generally when people throw around the word "Nazi" it has little to do with logic or real historical context.

  10479.  @georgeglass3443  15 dollar minimum wage for Amazon workers. Pretty much all the healthcare reforms we were able to get he played a big part in. Never mind all the Covid relief bills that he fought for. We wouldn't even be talking about "Medicare For All" if it wasn't for Bernie Sanders That was entirely his agenda. What have you done? Pretty easy to sit back and bitch while someone else spends decades of his life trying to improve the lives of people.

  10480.  @artis1969  Sure there is. It's just not powerful and we have to put in the work to make it more powerful. But it's not going to happen overnight. Republicans spent DECADES trying to overturn Row v. Wade. If we want to accomplish something we have to stick together and keep moving towards that goal. There are certainly a lot more progressives in Congress than there were 10 years ago.
    1
  10481.  @artis1969  When I vote for and support progressive that are in the "blue" party I increase the progressive movement as well as their leverage in Congress. If I just sat on my butt and complained, like you are suggesting, then I wouldn't accomplish anything. There is a reason why 3rd parties never take power or accomplish anything in this country. In a "winner take all system" that's what happens, mathematically over time you end up with two parties. We don't have proportional representation like there is in other countries. So the only way of getting actual change is to take over one of the two parties. Which has in fact happened numerous times in our country's history. The sooner you wrap you head around that, the better off we all will be. Otherwise, you're just part of the long line of misguided people calling for 3rd parties over the decades while never accomplishing a single thing.

  10483.  @artis1969  Yes, I'm judging a failed idea that in the past century has never worked or managed to accomplish a single thing for people. Sorry if that offends you, but I don't care about feelings I care about implementing better policies for the country. Simply telling people to not vote or vote 3rd party with zero strategy to get anything changed or implemented is just telling people to throw their votes away on principle. Yes, the system is corrupt. Yes, both parties are corrupt. Yes, establishment politicians and the media make it nearly impossible to change things or reach people. But giving up, and putting your faith in a mythical non-existent 3rd party to save you isn't going to change that either. 🤷🏼‍♂

  10484.  @artis1969  You're the one who brought up "breaking with the Democratic party". You haven't offered anything else beyond that even though you've had several opportunities to clarify what you've said. So unless you mean supporting the Republican party (which there are obviously zero progressive candidates), then you must mean supporting a 3rd party. Now you're arguing semantics while still not offering any alternative to what I already laid out. If you have anything to offer that actually helps the situation, you're more than welcome to speak up. No one is stopping you. Until then I will keep my assumptions, because I will pick "less ideal" over "nothing" any day, because that "graveyard" has at least been moving in the right direction even if it has been far too slow. Also, the Trump presidency has shown it can move in a wrong direction very quickly and very horribly.

  10487. "History cannot be used to make a rational argument"? Wow... That statement in of itself is *completely* irrational and a fallacy in of itself... Human knowledge is an accumulation of everything that came before it. History provides invaluable knowledge on lessons, guidance, data for analysis, and insights into human behavior. In regards to slavery I'm sure you've heard the phrase: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it" LEARNING from history doesn't mean REPEATING it.

  10488.  @rigger49er  Christ dude... It has nothing to do with "feelings" it has to do with "framing". Trans people and puberty blockers didn't magically appear in 2023. The right wing wants to talk about "trans sports" as a way of bashing trans people and now TYT is platforming those exact same talking points. Right now Ana's words are being used on the Fox News' website as propaganda against the left. Professional sports are made up of PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS it has nothing to do with government or ELECTIONS. Yet TYT fell right into the trap of "bothsides-ism" and decided to pretend it was SO IMPORTANT to attack and punch down to their own viewers, their own base, who may believe more inclusion might be a good thing. When have you ever seen Trump, Tucker, or Hannity bash their own supporters and call them "idiots" and "selfish" for an opinion they MIGHT have based on a talking point the left created?

  10489. @chaumont20 I did not see a *single* sign bashing conservatives. The crowd was made up of *reasonable* people of all races and religions. There were lots of signs that were parodies of protest signs like "I'm calm as hell" or "This is the first sign of the apocalypse". Lots of signs were calling for "logic", "reason","sanity", etc. I saw a couple Muslim girls that carried signs that read "I am not a terrorist" The only "bashing" sign I saw was one calling Fox News propaganda. Which it is .

  10490. Never mind the constant attacks and demonization of trans people or police murdering and imprisoning black/brown people unjustly, the real "struggle" is allowing Israel to kill more children in Gaza....

So I have no idea WTF you're talking about there. Lastly following WWII Japan DID in fact borrow its way to becoming an economic superpower. So you're way off on your facts.

  10495.  @openup8027  And I'm saying you have no idea what you're talking about. You clearly have no idea what racism is if you think mentioning someone's race is the same as racism.
    1
  10496.  @openup8027  Again, you obviously think that simply mentioning someone's race in the context of an issue, is the same as racism. I suggest you actually educate yourself on what racism actually is. Associating a virus to Asian people which results in attacks and discrimination against Asian people is a form of racism. Aida even points out this issue in this very clip. However simply suggesting that someone who has experienced racism should be more aware and stand up when they see other's oppressed. Is not racism. Sorry, it just isn't. She also says that black people should be more supportive of gay and transgender issues for the same reason.
    1
  10497.  @openup8027  She specifically called out that "person", the cop and said that he should have been more understanding of the situation given the discrimination that has also happened against Asian people and that we should have solidarity against all oppression. She did exactly what you're describing.... Instead of taking the message of "solidarity", you're basically choosing to turn it into something divisive. I suggest you look inside yourself to figure out why that is.
    1
  10498.  @openup8027  Cause you haven't made a point other than calling someone "racist against Asians" without explaining yourself.... I have no idea what "cultural perspective" you're referring to. The people I call brothers and sister's in my life are mostly all Asian. (Just look at my username dude...) These are people I grew up with and I consider them family and they consider me family. And if any of them failed to call out oppression happening to a person of color I would call them out. if I failed to call out oppression happening in to anyone in an Asian community I would expect them to call me out. THAT is what solidarity means. It isn't calling out a "race", it's calling out a person who should know better. If you don't understand that then you really have some serious growing to do. You're not helping anything by turning on the very people who would be first in line to stand up for you.

  10499.  @openup8027  Good luck calling people racist for no reason. See how far that gets you 😂
    1
  10500.  @openup8027  So you're bringing up the police chief who wasn't involved in this incident at all, simply because he is black. Based on your own logic wouldn't that make you racist? Aida didn't call the Asian cop a racist. Meanwhile you called her a racist, thug, and want her jailed for speech... Again, you are the one being divisive here whereas Aida specifically called for solidarity among POC. Where the hell is your solidarity? Your Unity? All you seem to care about is a race being mentioned without any context for the argument being made. It's a very shallow way of thinking. If it came out that the police chief was training police officers to specifically target and brutalize minorities then Aida would be one of the first people to call that police chief out. As she has done to MANY other black sellouts before. However there is no such story, you simply want to talk about him because he's black because you're mad that someone talked about an Asian cop. It's childish.
    1
  10501.  @openup8027  What you were doing was obvious dude... The problem is that you're missing my point and you're missing Aida's point. If there was a Black or Hispanic man in the same position she would make the exactly same argument, but all you really care about is that she talked about an Asian person. Her argument was about "solidarity" and if you can't understand that then I don't know what to tell you.
    1
  10502.  @openup8027  Kind of hard talking about solidarity amongst people of color without talking about people of color dude... It just means that you can't handle someone talking about a persons race without being triggered. Again she was talking about the man's actions and that he should have solidarity as an Asian man. NO DIFFERENT then she would say about a black or Hispanic man. You have yet to demonstrate even once that you even UNDERSTAND the argument.... Which is probably the whole reason why you're triggered in the first place because you didn't even get it. I've explained it to you several times now if you don't get it at this point then you probably never will. She was not calling a person out for being Asian, she was calling out a person for not sympathizing as an Asian man. Are you not mature enough to understand the difference?
    1
  10503.  @openup8027  You still haven't demonstrated that you even understand the point she was making. So your arguments are just coming from a place of ignorance. Mindlessly calling people names is not an actual argument dude....

You have cultures all throughout the world that have practiced body modification in one form or another for centuries (cutting, piecing, tatoos, lip enlargment, head elongation, etc). Not to mention the rampent plastic surgury in this country. It comes down to what is socially acceptable in whatever culture or subculture you belong to.

There's a reason why "anecdotal evidence" is not considered valid A few zealots you watch on YouTube don't represent the greater public. 3. There is nothing in the proposed legislation about "disarming citizens". That is propoganda. 4. Threatening to shoot police officers is not rational.

It's good to be part of the "artificial aristocracy"

  10511. I see that you've decided to stop all attempts at being rational and decided to simply go on an ideological rant and make nonsense straw man arguments. People such as as yourself who blindly glorify the past with some dumb idea of "utopia" conveniently forget that millions of people were ENSLAVED in this country... Somehow slavery, indentured servants, and the fact that women were thought of as "property" is ideal in your mind because you brainwashed yourself with nonsense instead of reality.

  10512. Hmm737, Now you are not making ANY sense. The forefathers weren't fighting against government they were fighting against what they thought was an unjust government.

YES there are perves in the world, there are also rapists and murders. Just because of that fact doesn't automatically mean that someone is going to go after your child because of pictures on Facebook. Criminal pedifphiles rely on a lot more than that before committing a crime. This is just a relfection of how overprotective our society has become.

Any woman spending money on, hair, makeup, nice dresses, shoes, etc. and then says "I wouldn't want to be hot" is being a ypocrite... In reality you DO want to be "hot" when it counts.

You can talk about how the media has a hard time questioning the authority of any administration, but PLEASE spare me this idea that somehow all of our problems are because of the Trump/Russia investigation and that the media would be talking about Snowden & Chelsea Manning non-stop if it weren't for "Russia".

  10554. @ggadguy We live in a representative democracy... At some point everyone will take part in a program they don't want. That's by design. It's silly to blame government itself because YOU don't like certain programs. The issue is NOT big vs small govt. The issue is EFECTIVE government. A small govt can be just as corrupting as a large govt. Shifting govt services to corporations without checks or regulations is simply shifting power to organizations that have proven to be far more corrupt.

  10555. To be fair... Colin Powel was duped and he did apologize for his contribution to the Iraq war and the WMD narrative. He took ownership for his part in it. He voted for Obama against the Republican party so you can easily argue that his transition out of the Republican party has been going on for a long time. I just hate these reductionist arguments where a person's entire life is reduced down to single mistake especially when a person sincerely tries to own up to that mistake.

  10556. A "republic" is a form of democracy. Rome was a "republic" that practiced direct democracy. "Republic" simply refers to the legislative structure. Democracy and the "will of the people" is what powers that structure (ie the government). The constituion simply creates guidlines and a framework for that structure. Just like a "constitutional monarchy" is a monarchy with powers limited by a constitution. So claiming that we don't have a democarcy, is completely false.

  10559. Personally I think Trump is going to get his ass handed to him on the first debate... Trump doesn't like homework (or work for that matter) and Biden's team has obviously been prepping him on the hundreds of areas where Trump is vulnerable. I think this is going to be similar to how Romney took Obama off guard in the first debate. Trump only knows how to Troll he is not very good at defending a record. Trump will say something incredibly foolish and the clips from this debate are going to be used over and over from now until the election. Trump's tactics work well as an outsider, it doesn't work as a incumbent, especially under these circumstances. Biden is going to try and nail him on specifics and details and Trump won't be able to answer. Then Kamala is going to get her ass handed to her by Pence because for whatever reason Kamala really sucks at debates or coming across as earnest. Pence is far better at debating and pretending to care about people and he has no problems going for low blows. However it won't matter as much because no one cares about the Vice President as much. Plus Trump will be unwilling to give Pence any credit because of his ego.

So clearly it's not about issues for you. People don't just suddenly flip from being a Bearnie & BLM supporter to something else unless it's something emotional. It means that you really don't have a firm grip on "issues" as you claim.

  10566. If Obama didn't do what was politically advantagious to him then he wouldn't be president and that goes for just about every president we've had for the past 100 years. That is just the reality of the job and I'm sure his emotions were genuine. If you want to change that then you have to change the system.

  10567. 1. You must not have looked very carefully. There were 2 videos posted yesterday on Syria. TYT's show is in the afternoon, "clips" of the show are posted to YouTube afterwards. 2. Yes, it is absolutely crazy to think Cenk is blaming an "entire group" or thinks "white people are evil" Again, if you're rational you can discuss problems with culture/racial bias without taking it personally. It would be just as silly to think someone is blaming "all men" when discussing rape or pedophilia.

This BS idea that we can live in chaos like Somalia and markets will thrive is idiotic.

Obviously Republicans in government have more influence in government than libertairians do. However it's no surprise that the GOP started the libertarian crusade of "the government is the problem" in the 80's with Reagan, because big money interest wanted more power and control. And since the 80s they got exactly what they wanted and wealth has completely shifted to the top.

However when people think of Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Ghandi, etc. the message is clear and resonates through history.

  10601.  @coreymicallef365  1. The fact that nuclear power itself is dangerous and has all sorts of risks involved is also relevant. Saying that unknown factors can cause a huge ecological disaster and a bunch of deaths. Doesn't exactly work in nuclear's favor.... 2. The wiki page is "Three Mile Island accident health effects". You seem to have an ugly tendency of calling people liars without cause. Please don't accuse me of lying or making things up. I don't do that. Authorities have downplayed the deaths and health effects of every nuclear accident (and bombing) we've ever had. Mostly due to the fact that the effects are long term and difficult to track. 3. Okay. I don't know if 10C for that specific plant is correct, however I do know you don't have to boil water for it to evaporate more quickly.... Raising the temperature of water causes it to evaporate much more quicker. Furthermore it also causes damage to the surrounding sea life. A single nuclear plant in FL is responsible for killing THOUSANDS of sea turtles. 4. However you would agree that there is no question over the many birth defects following Chernobyl or Fukushima.

  10602.  @brian2440  My point is that ANY "unknown" when it comes to nuclear (meteorite, solar flare, missile, etc.) can cause a wide scale ecological disaster... That risk just doesn't exist with things like solar and wind. It just doesn't.
    1
  10603.  @gregbarton1970  I didn't say solar and wind are perfect, but the technology is improving at a fast rate. Also the fact is people can put solar panels on pretty much any structure or building... You simply cannot do that with nuclear reactors... Hundreds if not thousands of businesses can get involved in solar in a way that you cannot do with nuclear. Solar and wind democratize energy, nuclear keeps it in the hands of a few. If you believe in capitalism and markets. Solar and wind are much better options. If you believe in protecting the environment, solar and wind are better options (given how destructive nuclear plants have been to sea life). If you care about costs, solar and wind have a much better price per KW. Unless you're talk about offshore wind farms which pretty much have the same price as nuclear. I just don't see how nuclear is a clear winner in all this. If you're talking time it takes like 6 years to build a plant vs. a few months to build a solar farm.

  10608. There was certainly lots of fake science and false information spread by "the right". However, you also never talk about the fake science and misinformation that came from "the left". Such as: 1. Natural immunity provides little to no protection from future Covid infections. 2. Vaccination prevents transmission. Both of those things were proven false in several studies. Yet it was constantly perpetuated in so called "left wing" media circles for over a year. Once this became a culture war a lot of people threw science and discovery right out the window and fell into their camps.
    1
  10609.  @andygreg293  1. You're referring to "herd immunity through mass infection". The fact that you know a standard talking point, but don't understand the terminology or what I was talking about, is the exact point I was making... "Natural immunity" simply refers to someone who has recovered from covid. Which has been shown to offer slightly better protection to reinfection than someone fully vaccinated and boosted. Even over a year later. However unlike other countries, the US never had a policy taking covid recovery into account. Purely because of POLITICS. 2. That is a claim with ZERO research behind it. It is only an assumption. There was a study in the UK published 6 months ago that showed that vaccinated households only reduced the transmission of Delta by 30%. They found that although vaccines reduce the time a person is infected, vaccinated individuals were just as contagious as unvaccinated individuals. The reason everyone started wearing masks again a year ago was because it was obvious that the virus was still spreading even if people were vaccinated. However, shows like this one still repeated misinformation based on an assumption. No studies ever claimed vaccines stop transmission, only that they reduce symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths. Again, the fact that you don't know that is a result of the culture war nonsense I was talking about.

  10610. Use your brain. Certain "things" allow a person to kill a ton of people in a short amount of time. Whereas a person alone could maybe choke to death a single person over a long period. There's a reason we don't treat nuclear weapons and anthrax as mental health issue.... However it's amazing how many people were brainwashed by that propaganda when it comes to certain guns.

  10611. I meant "religious convictions" over guns. If someone ignores evidence and the many published studies on a topic and goes with what they believe is true then they are no longer acting on reason they are acting on "faith". It's one thing to understand the facts and choose a gun culture with an understanding of the downsides/tradeoffs. It's another thing to completely ignore facts and somehow elevate guns to a "magic elixir" that fixes anything wrong in society.

  10614. On the other hand, travel bans against other countries is not something that has been effective at slowing the spread of a virus that is already in the country... especially when compared to local policies of testing, tracing, and quarantining. Yet we still do travel bans for political reasons. It wasn't effective when Trump did it and it's not effective when Biden does it. The WHO said that travel bans were unnecessary with Omicron and yet we did it anyway. Personally, I think perpetuating the false idea that vaccines stop transmission is far more dangerous than suggesting that we don't have a travel ban that is less important than testing and tracing. You had millions of people running around all summer thinking they could not transmit covid and we ended up with the largest wave we've ever had. Even today people STILL hold onto the false belief that vaccines stop covid from transmitting.

  10615. 1. You're trying to lie.... All the ABS suicide graphs show a peak at around 97 and a decline thereafter. Particularly the male group who are more likely to choose violent means of suicide (females typically use pills, slit wrists, etc.) where there is a 20 point drop between 97 and 2003. The drop in suicides/homicides in Australia is a clear trend and is even lower today. 2. Again the clearest indicators of crime are population density, poverty, and inequality. It has zero to do with guns.

Industrialized countries have safety nets because of their positive effect on society in reducing slums and growing/stabolizing economies, not because everyone is stupid.

  10626. Governments should tax billionaires so that they don't exist and use that money to solve climate change and hunger. I like private innovation as much as the next guy, but the reality is we could have had electric cars, more electric transit, and alternative energy DECADES ago if it weren't fossil fuel companies doing everything to trash anything that threatened their profits. The only reason Elon Musk has an electric car company is because of the investment and loans from the US government (thanks Obama)., because WE decided that green technologies were a good idea. And as far as satellites and space travel, the US and Russia invented those things. We're supposed to be impressed with reusable space craft when the reality is the US/NASA was already doing that with the Space Shuttle 40 years ago.

  10627. To compare what the Tea Party did to what progressives need to do is kind of silly. The Tea Party was funded by millionaires and billionaires to largely get what right wing donors already wanted.

They weren't really fighting the establishment and the donor class like the progressives are.

  10628.  @InternetTrafficCop  No, but I do think by default all of Bernie's misstatements are amplified far more than the hundreds lies, racist, and idiotic statements from Trump just by the very fact that Bernie has far fewer of them compared to Trump. The media giving 1 hour to 1 misstatement vs giving 10 hours to 1000 misstatements means that people are going to remember that 1 misstatement from Bernie far more than the 456th lie from Trump. Trump has a base that does not care that he lies, while Bernie's base cares that things are factual and truthful. Which basically puts Bernie at a SEVERE disadvantage. Trump can lie and the opposition will get angry and the base won't care vs. Bernie can say something wrong and the opposition will get angry and his own base will somewhat agree and then also talk about what Bernie did wrong. It's a lose lose situation...

  10629. Then you misunderstood my original comment. It was more about the use of drones in general for military purposes. The slippery slope in the case of drones in for law enforcement will be more about privacy. Once police (and civilians) gain more easy access to spying technology it will certainly get abused. However I don't think police departments will start killing suspects with drones anytime soon. More likely at some point someone will arm drones with non-leathal weapons for crowd control.

  10632.  @chasedown5928  --"Blockchain, while Bitcoin does use it to validate the coins and trace where the coins go to, that is really all that it has to do with the Blockchain" I know, and Blockchain, at least the version employed by Bitcoin today, is horribly inefficient and wastes tons of energy and resources. Which is why a large chunk of the farms are in China who can afford to waste all of this energy that is mostly used to gamble and buy illegal shit online. -"I'm talking about the SSN or alien ID number that every citizen gets that helps identify them." Yeah I got it... -"If somebody can login to a government website and provide their SSN and answer some basic questions that shows on their credit, then that should be proof enough to allow them to vote and that vote would be carried out on the Blockchain making it difficult to hack (assuming that the website is secure)." My point exactly.... IF we could do that already then block chain isn't really required now is it? Other than recording the transaction, block chain relies on all sorts of internet mechanisms that would be vulnerable in that situation. In a lot of ways the bureaucracy around voting (having to show up in person, showing proof of residency, license, paper ballots, etc.) makes the process more secure.

  10636. I completely agree with Alonzo... Enough with the bullshit nitpicking and infighting. You don't like it when they do it to Bernie Sanders so why are you doing it with Pelosi? I get it, Pelosi is an establishment democrat and we prefer people who are more progressive, but why are you trying to nitpick every little thing? Do you think it helps us on the issues? Her saying "glass of water" when referring to AOC is no different than Omar saying "People did something" GET OVER THE DAMN NITPICKING ALREADY. Pelosi was not talking about AOC winning her primary she was making a different point entirely. If you want to challenge Pelosi talk about the progressive policies that are popular ACROSS THE BOARD in ALL districts. Not "Wah! Be nice to AOC and Bernie Sanders!"

  10637. All religions and doctrines should be amended over time. It is idiotic to think that knowledge from 2000 years ago ended. it is idiotic to think that a document from 200 years ago had all the answers. All life evolves and moves forward. To think that "old knowedge" is the end of knowing rather than just a begining simply invites ignorance.

  10639.  @03stmlax  Biden is also far less right wing when he's campaigning instead of governing or legislating... Jimmy Dore has no plan of accomplishing anything other than to boost his ratings by complaining about everyone who is trying. Sitting back and complaining, like the cool kid in the back of a classroom, doesn't actually get people better jobs, healthcare, or save the planet. I have no doubt that if Jimmy Dore got actual power, he would sell out in a heartbeat, just like he does every time he goes on Tucker's show.

  10640.  @kristineneiswender608  I assume you're referring to my response to chrlpolk. Their claim was that the squad told people to stand down and not stand up to Pelosi. AOC changing her vote once, is not her "telling people to stand down and not stand up to Pelosi". Meanwhile Jimmy pretended that Trump was good for left wing causes in 2016 and that if he were president it wouldn't matter to the Supreme Court or and would cause a progressive wave in 2020. Jimmy also put Tulsi Gabbard on a pedestaland pretended that she was a true progressive, instead she turned out to be an even bigger sellout. Jimmy Dore cares more about his ego and building an audience than actually doing good in the world.

  10641.  @kristineneiswender608  I think the progressive caucus has become incredibly weak... However I don't see the squad lining themselves up for lobbying jobs or cozying up to corporations for donations like the rest of the politicians are. So I'm not sure what "sold out" means in that case. I don't think it is productive to completely disregard members of congress who agree with you 95% of the time, when there is no one else out there fighting for you. Otherwise it's the equivalent of giving up. After hundreds of votes, it's normal that a person isn't going to vote how you want on every single issue and even people who agree on all issues are bound to disagree on tactics. What I don't like about Jimmy is that he'll often give people like Trump and Tucker Carson a pass or and ignore the many horrible things they have said or done, just so he can say something nice about them to appeal to his right wing audience but then he will then turn around and fixate on one or two bad votes that someone in the Democratic party has done and pretend it makes that person entirely corrupt.

  10642.  @kristineneiswender608  The rules clearly state that the elected speaker receives a majority of the votes cast not a majority of the House. Cenk was not wrong. Yes the Democratic party is weak and has been weak for decades now. We already knew that Biden was going to govern from a position of weakness, because that's all the establishment Democrats have known. I did not call you a liar, you must be reading my reply to someone else. Specifically, the user "chrlpolk" and it looks like he/she deleted their comment.

  10653. No.... There is no "addition paradox". We're not "adding populations" based on a completely useless and irrelevant thought exercise. It's just as nonsensical as saying nothing can be done about crime rates, wealth per capita, longevity, or any metric involving populations. Sorry, but there's no such thing as magically adding happy/unhappy (or low/high crime rate) populations through god like powers. However there are ways to improve those metrics *within* a population.

  10655. Actually I think the majority of cases aren't as simple as a payoff for a vote. I think it's more like a subtle justification of "These companies are supporting me so they must not be that bad". I'm sure for some they start to look at them as friends, so they naturally start lisening to their side of the story and feel compelled to help them out more. Even if your friend is an ass you naturally want to take their side when they are fighting with their significant other.

If RP actually spoke to people in the industry he might understand those challanges instead of making up his mind based on an ideology. 2. The private sector mainly invests in what can be capitalized on in near term. Investing in the "public good" or the management of natural resources is not something it has historically done.

Obama's only added about 10,000 or so new regulations in his entire first term. LESS than what Bush added. So either you're lying, a paid shill, or a fool believing BS propoganda. Thinking all regulations are bad REGARDLESS of context or details is moronic.. Reasonable people try to understand costs vs benefits instead of irrationally reacting just to the "idea" of regulations

  10660. Sorry, but ,ore guns DO = more gun deaths. I've already been over the statistics. I can even give you some peer reviewed studies if you like. What is dishonest are those statistics that compare the violence in say Montana to the major cities of Chicago, New York, and LA. Which is obviously apples and oranges. Being "yelled at" or "flirted with" is not the same as being "attacked" which is something that criminals who end up killing people cannot distinguish.

Furthermore it is absurd to compare the 1920 recession to the 1929 Great Depression. Just as you wouldn't compare the 2001 recession to the financial collapse and Great Recession of 2008.

Let me put it this way, "buying" is similar to our current democracy. We are not forced to vote or live here. Yet voting choices are limited & predetermined. Just like oligopolies & marketing have limited "informed buying choice" while corporate power secretly buys poltiicians, polutes/causes disease, use child/slave labor, & supports dictators.

  10679. Also.... When was the last time you've seen any president actually take questions like this from citizens? Did it ever happened under Bush? It might have happened under Regan or Clinton, but it's certainly not common. Yes in some ways it is just "lip service" but at the same time if this were Bush: 1. This question/answer session would not happen. 2. If it did, he wouldn't even try to give genuine answers. 3. He would care less about congress, oversight, or accountability.

Simply being lucky or good at a game that *we* created to manage our resources doesn't magically entitle you to 1000 or 10,000 times more wealth and resources in a society that we're all part of. A game is nowhere near as important as we are to each other.

  10681. Let's just say that if you search Kyle's videos he has more videos about Hillary than Beanie Sanders.

However the fact that industries spend millions lobbying, buying, and influencing politicians to gain advantages isn't the fault of government. It's the fault of a system that rewards such behavior. The "profit motive" is the singular motivatation for people to corrupt and collude for personal advantage.

It didn't stop the drug wars or private prisons. It didn't stop DHS & TSA. The biggest line of BULLSHIT conservative politicians imply is that somehow lowering taxes will get rid of things "they don't like". In reality it's used as an excuse to cut programs threatening corporate profits (EPA, DOE, Social Security, Medicare, etc).

Furthermore Google: "Firearm Use by Offenders" which clearly show that only 8% of drug offenders had a gun at the time of their arrest and only 2% discharged a firearm. You should honestly question your snap judgements and assumptions and why you have them.

The danger is a family member or associate that ALREADY has access to your child. The "internet" is the least of your worries. Our society has become waay to overprotective.

  10719. There is also a 4th cohort of people who don't feel like they need to get vaccinated because they already have Covid and studies have repeatedly shown that immunity through recovering from Covid is as good or better than immunity through vaccination. In fact a study involving thousands of shows that natural immunity is 13 times better protection against the Delta variant than any of the vaccines because you're subjected to a full spectrum of the virus instead of just the spike proteins. I'm not anti-vaccine but I'm also not pro booster shot. It seems like our entire political discourse either puts you into the "anti-vaccine camp" or the "pro-vaccine camp" and their is absolutely no room for nuance...

The truth is many conservative organizers like Americans For Prosperity, FreedomWorks, etc. are mostly funded (like 99%) by a handful of millionaires. Some blatently admit they do so for their own business interests. IT IS curious that an issue NY's had no problem with suddenly became a national republican issue and a hate campaign against our own constitutional values.

Obviously there are people of various races killing each other all over this country. That isn't the issue. That was *never* the issue... The reason you don't understand the difference is because you likely haven't been subjected to it. When people lack perspective they tend to trivialize and demonize another's point of view.

Lack of interagency coordination (which has long since been fixed) and Bush's incompetence was the ACTUAL reason it happened. The TSA has never *stopped* a terrorist attack.

Concentration Camps on the border, separating kids and then losing them, threatening DACA. 2. Nearly going to war with Iran multiple times. 3. Over a hundred thousand American dead from a virus. Most of whom did not have to die. 4. Rolling back efforts on climate change and environmental protections. 5. Kicking millions of their health coverage. Sorry but people protesting police brutality is not the same.... These are REAL existential problem and I get sick and tired of the false equivalencies. STATUES ARE NOT PEOPLE'S LIVES....

  10743.  @TheRealVenna  You literally just described mimicking an infection. That's the entire purpose of injecting a dead or weakened version of a virus. So that the body thinks it is infected in order to produce antibodies and a proper immune response, which is exactly what happens when you're infected with Covid Genius... It's a similar mechanism to messenger RNA causing cells to create Covid 19 spike proteins in the new vaccines. In both cases your body is responding to a simulated infection. Furthermore I'm perfectly aware that not everyone survives Covid, but the fact is there are millions WHO ALREADY HAVE who can be tested for antibodies with a simple blood test. People are seriously crazy in their political camps. Like you cannot talk about basic science without it turning into a nonsense culture war. 🙄 Please re-read your reply and understand how crazy you sound.
    1
  10744.  @LoveFactorySweatShop  No it's actually based on numerous studies. Please use your google machine. You can start with these two, but there are several more. -"Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections" -"Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals" Apparently no one is allowed to talk about the millions in this country who actually have immunity through a previous infection and with each study it's looking as if prior infection has an even greater immunity to the variants than the vaccine. It should also be obvious that I'm not telling people to go out and get Covid, but apparently I need to spell that out every time.

  10745.  @robertholden8956  You sound incapable of forming an actual argument. So your comment sounds more like projection to me. If all you can do is lob insults without a thought process, then you're no different than the q-anon/MAGA crowd.
    1
  10746.  @antondevonlh  They studies are actually not "new". The second one is months old and has been republished. Any study on the vaccines is far newer than the numerous studies on the actual infection. The Lancet study was done back in March. You can find a dozen studies confirming lasting immunity prior to infection going back well over a year. Last summer people were unsure how long immunity would last, but it's been repeatedly confirmed since then. People who recovered from Covid were (And still are) donating plasma to help others recover from Covid. So the idea that this is some kind new or unstudied phenomena is complete BS. People are still producing antibodies well over a year later this has long been confirmed. I confirmed my own antibodies with a blood test recently. Again, I'm not advocating that people don't get vaccinated so your point about mutations is entirely moot. The rest of the world not having access to vaccines, particularly the global south, is the reason we have variants today. So if you want to stop variants you would be talking to Biden about releasing vaccine patents. However it is a fact that vaccinations are showing decreased effectiveness over time against the variants which isn't being shown in the same way with people who recovered from Covid. In fact Israel is recommending booster shots for those who have been vaccinated for this very reason. So for all we know current vaccines may just be a stop gap to a more permanent solution. If we're not tracking people who recovered then we're just being really dumb. I don't think it's a "deep state conspiracy". I think people are just so far up their own behinds with partisan politics that they stopped thinking.

  10747.  @qjtvaddict  I never once said that the infection wasn't damaging to your body.. Try again. You immediately jump to conclusions because the media has primed you with a pavlovian response to certain topics. The political climate has caused you to turn off your brain.

  10748.  @calinasagilitypartner4444  Are you being serious right now? Since when have people stopped understanding definitions of words? "Natural immunity" simply means someone who got immunity through a prior infection. It DOES NOT mean everyone should go out and get infected with something. You're confusing the idea of getting "herd immunity" through natural infection which was an idea some right wingers promoted last year, as well as the policy in Sweden which allowed younger people to contract the disease. You can get herd immunity through vaccination or through natural infection. With the latter being more deadly because a certain amount of people would die and overwhelm hospitals. However the fact is a large amount of people have natural immunity to Covid which should be considered in public policy and when studying disease and all of its variants..
    1
  10749.  @qjtvaddict  Yes there is evidence showing that when people with natural immunity are given a vaccines they have "super immunity" to the virus. However that doesn't change the fact that people with natural immunity already have a stronger and longer lasting immunity to the virus than people who are just vaccinated. Also there isn't any evidence that this "super immunity" is long lasting or comes with any long term additional benefits. One of the studies I posted above showed there was no additional benefit to vaccinating people who already had Covid. Bottom line is that there is no reason to not consider people who have already had Covid "immune" to the virus. It is also something we should be TRACKING because vaccination apparently doesn't last as long as people thought. I don't know why this idea is somehow controversial when it is long established science.

  10753. @ggadguy Actually many economists were talking about the housing bubble years before the collapse.

A LOT of people knew about it. The estabolishmnent just didn't care because they were making so much money from it. The fact that our monetary system is inherently corrupting has nothing to do with government.

  10754. Sorry but you're not going to convince me that that a "non-profit" like the Clinton Foundation which has an A rating from two different charity monitoring organization is the same corruption as funneling millions of dollars to your "for profit" businesses. And BTW if you're going to talk about charity organizations then let's talk about the Trump Foundation which trump used to buy shit for himself like paintings and sport memorabilia and pay the fines on his companies. This bullshit false equivalency between suspected corruption and ACTUAL criminal activity on the part of Trump is just astounding to me.

  10759. If Secular Talk was honest he would have spent far more time talking about Trump's corruption than Hillary's during the election. There is almost nothing new being revealed about Trump, he's had a long history of corruption and questionable ties to . However he let his feelings over the democratic primary cloud his judgement. He pretended that Trump was an honest actor when it came to certain issues when it was obvious that he was nothing more than a racist and a charlatan. Sure it's becoming more and more obvious that Trump only looks out for his and his family's own interests, but it should have been obvious to Kyle back then.
    1
  10760. Of course he does *now*... My point is that he largely neglected it during the primary and actual election. There was so much that he missed with Trump university, violation of campaign finance laws, Trump using his foundation as his own pocketbook as well as to grease the pockets of GOP politicians. There were so many obvious cases of corruption back then, but he let his hatred of Hillary cloud everything that he covered. He ignored Trumps many ties to Russia and Russian Oligarchs (personal ties and the top people in his campaign), just because Hillary's campaign mentioned it. He still ignores the fact that Trump's campaign changed the official GOP platform to include several pro-Russia policies that were never anything that Trump campaigned on or anything that the GOP advocated for. Now we have the most corrupt administration that we've had since Nixon, probably even worse than Nixon because we don't yet know the full extent.
    1
  10761. It's not about being "anti-Russia". I don't care what country it is, but clearly there has been a huge shift in favor of a particular country and that country was actively trying to shift the election in favor of Trump, and we know that Trump and his top campaign staff have had lucrative relationships with that country. Multiple people have already been indicted because of those lucrative relationships. You could substitute Australia for Russia for all I care. My point is that it shouldn't matter where the corruption comes from, it should not matter that Clinton's campaign first brought up the "Russia thing". You follow the evidence where it goes. I like Kyle on 90% of the issues, but for a guy who on more than one occasion has made the argument that a Saudi prince giving money to the Clinton Foundation (a non-profit) is the reason why the Obama administration made a weapons deal with the Saudi Arabian government, for him to make that claim yet ignore the MANY ties to Russia and Russian oligarchs, shows a clear and obvious bias. You can't possibly believe that Trump shifted GOP policies in favor of Russia (against the wishes of his own party) based on principles or morality.... Personally I think any kind of collusion will be impossible to prove, but the corruption is pretty clear.
    1
  10762. It's certainly not peanuts when it's at the highest levels of our government, that' a pretty big deal. I've never heard of AIPAC or Saudi Arabia pushing anything anti-Russia.... But the bottom line is that there is so much corruption that is compounded with the existing favoritism to Israel and Saudi Arabia, that we really don't have any clue what or who this government represents anymore. It's interesting how some people are talking about Trump getting a noble peace prize just for talking to with North Korea and ending a conflict that he almost started over twitter , while at the same time ignoring the fact that there are STILL people dying almost daily in Gaza because of the protests that started as a result of Trump deciding that we should build a US embassy in Jerusalem in order to support the right wing government in Israel.

  10764. Here's why Trump is far worse than Bush... The Bush administration was not just George Bush. It was Rumsfeld, Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Bolton, etc. who all planned to go into the Iraq under this misguided pretense that they were actually making the world better somehow. Furthermore they didn't go into Iraq to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians. They genuinely (and naively) thought that the casualties would be a fraction of that. Still horrible people, but trying to give it context. Trump, on the other hand, was told that millions of Americans might die and proceeded to lie and pretend it wasn't an issue. Trump does not care about anyone dying. Remember he asked seriously about using nuclear weapons in the middle east and in Europe. Almost everyone in the Trump administration was more concerned about the lives of people than Trump was. And you have a situation were everyone is trying their best to go around Trump so that less people die.... That's what makes Trump worse than Bush. I have no doubt that in the same situation and surrounded by the same people Trump would have made the exact same decisions as Bush and he may have been pushed into war in Iran. However unlike Bush, Trump WOULD NOT have funded the aids programs in Africa which have saved millions of lives.

"at least the company could apologize for it and move on, instead of acting like it never happened" I just don't see a German company making uniforms for the German government as "war profiteering".

But I don't' put that on the same level as the Rothchilds financing both sides of a war, or a company going into the middle east to take advantage of the conflict there.

However, even if the number was significant I wouldn't get the cops involved either. I'd think about doing PSAs to let people know about the possible dangers and change people's behavior that way. Veterinary clinics could also have signs in their offices talking about the risk. We really don't need another excuse for cops to stop people for trivial things. They can and will abuse it. It's like having a gun come to your house to make sure you're flossing regularly.

I'm agnostic and I think religion dulls the mind and appeals to unbalanced people looking for a crutch to lean on. However when a parent beats a child for "not doing well" it really has nothing to do with religion.

Iran is bad on gay issues, but better on transgender issues. and they aren't out there slaughtering thousands of people who disagree with their religious fundamentalism like ISIS is so to say it "really isn't any better" is utter garbage. That would be like saying the US isn't any better because we still have the death penalty in a lot of states and imprison the largest percentage of our population compared to other countries and have a political party who is actively trying to criminalize abortions. This country is quite a bit more "fundamentalist" than other western countries yet we somehow think it's normal when our politicians make religious based arguments all the time.

Which is why everyone has a right to self defense when their life is threatened or someone breaks into their home, get it?

  10783. The right regulations do in fact reduce gun related deaths, obviously an assault rifle can kill far more people than a knife or stick... However you need to know where to apply regulations where it makes sense. Cenk needs to talk about areas that can be improved raather than just getting on a soap box about guns in general. Whe're not going to ban cars because of car accidents... What we do is create the right regulations to lesson the likelyhood and impact of these occurrances.

  10784.  @alienzenx  I have no idea which comment you're referring to, but yes obviously I meant fighting politically not when she was in a medical unit... I supported Single Payer, Gay Rights, and was against torture long before 37. These are positions that took Tulsi a long time to come around to only when they were popular in the democratic party. As late as 2014 she was still "conflicted" on whether we should torture people or not. Bernie Sanders gave MANY speeches on Standing Rock and stood by the protesters, so you don't know what you're talking about. Tulsi endorsed Bernie, but now she is running against him. She also voted to condemn BDS. She also refuses to go after Biden and even has defended him... Gee I wonder why?... 🤔😂 You think I'm fickle? YOU are fickle for not seeing basic political maneuverings staring you in the face. Someone gives you a a couple pretty words and repeatedly mentions being a soldier and apparently that's enough for you. Not saying that Tulsi is bad, but what little record she has should give anyone pause. Anyone who doesn't take a "wait and see attitude" is a moron mindlessly jumping on a bandwagon.
    1
  10785.  @alienzenx  That's the difference between someone who is being thoughtful vs. emotional. I laid out my problems with Tulsi pretty clearly. I also opened the door for her to change my mind later, but you don't seem to be interested in any of that. If Tulsi remains consistent over the next 5 years or so and doesn't demonstrate that she's not simply angling to be Biden's VP pick, then I might trust her. We all know when it comes to war and criminal justice reform, she could go after Biden FAR easier than any other candidate, but she doesn't. There's a reason for that. There's a reason why she went after Kamela Harris instead. People need to wake the hell up and understand how calculating this stuff is. Obama was extremely calculating during the primaries on stage and behind the scenes.
    1
  10786.  @alienzenx  It's called using your brain, logic, and a person's history instead of just going "Der... she said pretty things!". I didn't say it was a guarantee that she was trying to be Biden's VP pick, but it seems likely to be the case. Not only has she never gone after Biden who is a target rich environment for the establishment, war, criminal justice reform, etc. She went out of her way to DEFEND Biden when she didn't need to. Furthermore she attacked the one other person who would likely be Biden's pick for VP, because in this political climate Biden would be thinking of picking a woman, specifically a minority woman. (They already floated the idea of picking Stacey Abrams) Notice how you never addressed my other complaints on Tulsi, you just cherry picked this one... 🤔 Here's one more: Tulsi NEVER SIGNED THE PROGRESSIVE PLEDGE. She gave no reason for not signing it, even though she "claims" to support all the issues on the pledge... Both Warren and Bernie had no problems signing it. Again, you can blindly believe Tulsi if you want, but I'll just wait and see.

Again, you're persuaded by nonsense. --"As for the TYT pledge, why on earth should she pander to TYT? LOL... Here's where the excuses start. Because the pledge isn't about TYT it's about PROGRESSIVES and our agenda. The question you should be asking yourself is why wouldn't she pander to progressives if she claims to be one? She can show up and pander at the Iowa State Fair and eat effing corn on a stick and yet she can't be bothered to pander to her supposed "base"? WTF is wrong with you? Seriously. --"As you pointed out, she has already said what her position is on the issues, why is that not good enough?" Because signing the pledge means that you're actually held accountable (politically) as opposed to just playing lip service. This is why the Grover Norquist tax pledge was so effective in the Republican party. It just means that you and Tulsi care more about lip service than keeping promises. Bernie isn't in favor of BDS however he's voted against any bill banning it, and he's spoken out on the situation with the Palestinians far more than ANY politician running today. You're acting like a brainwashed pundit at this point. I would put Bernie's 50 year record over Tulsi's 5 year record any day. YEARS after Elizabeth Warren became a Democrat and was actively fighting for consumer protections for bankruptcy. Tulsi was still part of an anti-gay hate group who were fighting against LGBT rights, promoting gay conversion therapy, and even protested against civil unions.... You care what Warren's label was in the early 90's but you don't seem to care that Tulsi was acting like a Republican and fighting against gay rights in the 2000s.... wow.... your hypocrisy here is unreal.... Meanwhile Bernie was fighting FOR gay rights all the way back in the 80s.

  10788. ​ @alienzenx  I'm arguing pretty clearly and plainly here dude... Why don't you actually address the issues I brought up instead of just getting immature and pretending that I'm somehow misrepresenting something? --"You are parroting things that you have obviously not come up with yourself, and swallowed them without any critical examination." Google the word "Projection", because this is a perfect example. 😂 Everything I brought up on Tulsi are things that I researched myself. Everything you have brought up are basic bullet points from her campaign speeches. --"What is the basis of your irrational hatred of Tulsi? " When did I ever say I "hated" Tulsi Gabbard?.... I have given you the NUMEROUS reasons why I don't trust her as a candidate. I have also said my opinion of her could change if she remains consistent over time. However I am not going to be persuaded by pretty words over concrete plans and a track record, sorry. It doesn't matter if it's Tulsi, Biden, Buttigieg, Beto, Kamela, etc. Are you new to politics or something? Why don't you get that? What is your basis for your irrational support for Tulsi? You are going out of your way to defend any and all criticism against her. Why is that? There is absolutely no issue that Bernie isn't better on or has a longer track record for. That even includes being anti-war. For years Sanders has had plans to defund our excessive military spending as opposed to just talking about peace. I have yet to hear Tulsi go as far as saying she will defund the military and I doubt she ever will.

  10789.  @alienzenx  I literally quoted you in my responses and you're sitting here lying about it. What didn't I research exactly? Where exactly do you think I got my information from if I didn't research it myself? 🤔 All you're doing is sitting their lying your ass off about me and pretending it's an argument. I answered your questions in good faith. Not only did you not respond in kind, you decided to just lie. No different than Trump.

I broke down all of these progressive policies including how they are paid for and I literally spent 2 DAYS trying to explain to this woman how Medicare for all is CHEAPER than what we are currently spending. She kept asking me over and over "how we pay for it" and she literally could not fathom that it was actually cheaper than what we currently have. It's the same old tired talking points that they have been brainwashed with since birth

  10794. Whoa Kyle.... 😖 Way to misrepresent what happened with Iraq. LET'S BE CLEAR... The Bush Administration along with the Blair administration in the UK, DID in fact manipulate intelligence in order to invade Iraq. There is a memo where Bush and Blair had clearly agreed to provoke Saddam into a conflict regardless of WMD. By the time Colin Powel made his speech to the UN George Bush already made up his mind to invade Iraq and he was given a story to tell so that other countries would feel better about the invasion. Our Intelligence agencies were not clear about Saddam having WMD. It was the Bush administration who pressured our intelligence to FIND SOMETHING tying Saddam to WMD or to Al Qaeda.

  10796. @twk373 "what's the point of government regulation"? Wow I can not believe that we are at a point where this is actually a question... You might as well ask "Why are their criminal laws?" or "Why are their cops on the street?" Google: "Glass–Steagall Act" and how it's repeal under the Clinton Admin and GOP congress led to the current financial crises. Google: "Anti-trust laws". Effective regulation HELPS capitalism. Complete deregulation is just corporatists propoganda.

  10801. Dude.... I can find dozens of videos during the Tea Party rallies that are as bad if not worse. In fact I would say someone who uses a video to stereotype an entire group of people shouldn't be allowed to vote because clearly they are voting based on prenotions and can easily be manipulated by a poltiician handing them propoganda and false narratives.

  10802. Classic Ayn Rand nonesense that believes "making money" and "self interest" are inherently good for society. If Libertarians truly believed that then logically they would also be in favor of corruption. Corruption is simply people looking out for their own self interest, usually in exchange for money. Nearly every mammal on this planet has evolved socially for survival as a group. The idea of a society based on monetary self interest is a psychological disorder that goes against human nature.

  10803. Wow... I thought Yang would redeem himself here, but he only dug himself into a deeper ditch... To say that BDS should "disavow extremist elements that say Israel should not exist" is like saying that BLM should disavow Louis Farrakhan for statements that he has made. One thing has absolutely nothing to do with the other. It is not the responsibility of those fighting against clear oppression to make the oppressors feel better about themselves or apologize for comments other people have made. I've never trusted Yang because of that.

  10804. Maybe he was... and that's true in most sexual harassment cases. But the problem I have is that it's hard to believe the facts of the case when she only reported it AFTER getting fired. Either she really needed the money and couldn't find a job anywhere or she's just spiteful that she got canned for taking a week off. Of course if what she says is true, It's still harrasment, but I question whether she was under any real "duress", or was she just going along with it to get a promotion.

  10805. And if you look at the history of leaded gasoline (or TEL) you'd see that people were fully aware of how dangerous lead was from the start... The guy who developed it at General Moters called it TEL precisely because of the negative stigma associated with LEAD. However because it worked well in cars and made TONS of money they decided to look the other way for decades.... Whether it is big tabaco, big oil, sugar, transfats, etc. The profit motive has a history of costing thousands of lives.

  10806. You also have to acknowledge that Trump made this political when he didn't have to and downplayed this virus for months. He's still downplaying it. So most of this blood is on his hands.

You get one wrong thing said by an official and it gets talked about over and over.

  10808.  @chrlpolk  It's different because it was never about just attacking people for the sake of attacking people or getting personal attention, it was about pushing through and supporting specific policies.

  10812.  @EricCartman915  Which has nothing to do with workplace safety. You can make the same argument with consuming alcohol or sugar, that more people die from alcohol related deaths or obesity and heart disease, but we figured out that prohibition and forcing people to be healthy is not a real answer.
    1
  10813.  @markhackett2302  What exactly was not safe? If I ban you from drinking soda or alcohol, am I also creating a safe workplace environment? You can try to stretch the definition as much as you want, but it has nothing to do with the actual workplace.
    1
  10814.  @caitiff52  Allowing your workers to consume fast food and sugar will also lead to more heart disease and diabetes. So should we create laws under the guise of "workplace safety" to prevent people from consuming those things? How about weekly drug tests? Should we go back to prohibition? Should the right-wing ban abortions to protect the unborn under the guise of "workplace safety"? Vaccination doesn't stop the virus from transmitting and not all jobs are the same. All you're doing is firing workers who don't want to protect themselves in the way that you want them to. This obsession over the past year is one of the reasons we will lose elections. Progressives have become obsessed over this vaccine culture war and have lost sight of everything else.

  10815. And yet there's no difference between Hillary Clinton and Trump right?
    1
  10816. Thoms Jensen. Lots of people running up into the election.... I talked to at least 10 people in Secular Talks comments that held that position. I would say that Clinton was better on the environment and they would bring up some obscure thing that she was part of as Secretary of State to say that she was "just as bad". They would completely ignore all of her actual policies and arguments on the environment. I even talked to people in person who seriously thought that Trump was a "secret Democrat" who would be even more progressive than Clinton. When someone doesn't have a record and they are vague about what they are going to do, it allows all sorts of people to project what they believe. Conversely when someone has a long political record it's easy to cherry pick every bad decision they may have made over 20 years to make them out to be Hitler who "wants to start WW3" (which is what people seriously thought about Clinton).

  10817. Yeah no kidding. Both of them being bad doesn't mean that one isn't far worse.

  10818. 2. Sorry, but when a corporation bribes a politician for favors. That is the "profit motive". They are both working in their own self interest. It is only made possible because of the power, status, and influence we give money in this society. If money had no leverage it wouldn't be a corruptive influence. The only way you "inject morality" into that equation is through regulations, laws, and court systems. And since money is the main reason elections are won our government is bought.

  10827. I agree completely with Thom's last points. 1. Anti-trust. 2. tax code. 3. trade policies. As far as Ryan's point at the end on "angel investors". Sure a few people with more wealth can invest in the business as an "angel", but this is MORE THAN offset by the rampent speculation and gambling raising oil, food, etc. prices for everyone and causing constant bomb and bust economies. This gambling has also turned genuine entreprenuership in this country into little more than pyramid schemes.

  10834.  @vanessawalker2656  "Slight benefit" as in studies clearly showing a decrease in the likelihood of severe disease, hospitalization, and death. That doesn't mean you should be dead without vaccination, just like not wearing a seatbelt doesn't guarantee you will be killed in a car accident nor does wearing a helmet guarantee that you will be safe in a motorcycle accident. These things just lower your odds. I didn't get vaccinated until a little while ago because I already recovered from covid and even if I got reinfected with Covid the odds of a severe illness and death is pretty small with natural immunity. And vaccination on top of that only decreases reinfection and severe disease slightly. So I didn't see any reason, until I forced to in order to go to attend an event. If I told you to breath a gas were you had a 1% chance of dying or a 10% chance of lifelong health concerns would you do it? What if you the gas was already in your home and there was a medicine that could decrease your chances to .01% and 1%? We all play with odds every day of our lives. Even if the odds are small I wouldn't just ignore them. If vaccination is not the answer then at least make sure you stay healthy, get plenty of vit D, etc. to help fight off infections and lower your odds.

  10835.  @lovesees4320  btw you still get myocarditis from the actual Covid virus. So it's kind of unknown whether there would be more or less myocarditis when people are getting it anyway from infections.
    1
  10836.  @georgeharrison6022  I'm referring to "hybrid immunity" where vaccination on top of natural immunity provides marginal additional protection against natural immunity alone. Vaccination only does better against natural immunity when you compare a recently vaccinated person to someone who was infected many months ago. There were a few studies that the CDC promoted which did that false comparison. However natural immunity generally lasts much longer than vaccination and is more comparable to someone who was fully vaccinated plus boosted at least once. However to get "natural immunity" you risk long term damage to your body recovering from Covid so I wouldn't recommend it as a solution for someone who hasn't already recovered from Covid.

  10837.  @russellmania5349  Thinking that the vaccines are "poison" with zero evidence is just as dumb as thinking that vaccines are vitamins that must be taken regularly. If vaccines were "poison" then millions of people around the world would be dead or sick.

  10838. There is no correlation between taxes and nurturing a middle class. In fact the US created a middle class during a time when we had the highest upper income tax rates in our history. The reason why more and more workers are relying on public assistance is because they are not "earning enough". You really should look at actual data to back up your beliefs instead of blindly believing some right wing pundit paid to push narrative on TV/Radio. Facts don't change because of your ideolgy.

  10839. @roland20002000 Evidence?.... It should be common knowledge to you that the democratic party or the "southern democrats" were historically racists. Then in the 60's the republican party in an effort to win over the racists in the south adopted what was called the "Southern Strategy". This is obvious if you look at any election map over the years.... The southern states switched from democratic to republican in short period of time. The GOP is a different party than the time of Lincoln.

  10840. Because many people aren't completely straight or completely gay... Many are along a spectrum. People can basically be born bisexual but with a stronger attraction to the same sex. However as a child you are placed in a predefined gender/sexual role and you don't realize what you really want until you're older and more mature. I have straight friends who have some attraction to the same sex I also have gay friends that have some attraction to the opposite sex.

  10841. You disprove yourself by bringing up child mortality rates. Since most child deaths in cases of "unintentional injury" are due to car accidents, poisonings, suffocation, downing, & falls. Not "shooting ranges" No one talks about how dangerous cars or bodies of water are for children do they? Should we ban parents from driving kids around? Again, "sensible gun regulation". However if you demonize all guns and all situations involving guns for emotional reasons then you're really not helping.

  10842. The best response from Biden to Trump on the military would have been: You increased the budget of the military based on all the taxes that everyone else paid in this country, but not you. You gave the military toys they didn't ask for and left the American people with the bill. You added 3 trillion to a debt that everyone else is paying for, but not you.

  10845. Looks more like a publicity stunt to me.... Obviously this is already a skilled pilot wearing a paramedic suit. Furthermore it is also likely too dangerous to fly something like this under the weather conditions that would also cause problems for hikers. I don't see how this has any advantages over dropping a paramedic in from helicopter. At least with a helicopter you could lift people out of the situation and bring a lot more equipment. The only point to this was "hey look at a cool guy flying".

People don't get on planes to stab other passengers randomly and 911 was something that required far more planning and coordinated than just having box cutters.

  10847. The biggest "problem" with AI and most innovations over the past couple hundred years is capitalism.

  10850. 1. They didn't pay steele, that's a lie. 2. They didn't interact with Russian government officials at all. That is also a lie. 3. You seem to not know the difference between quid pro quo with the Russian government vs. finding out if a dossier is true or not. One is "collusion" the other is "research". 4. You clearly have a tendency of making up shit that you want to argue about instead of sticking to the topic. Sorry, but I'm not your punching bag for everything you're pissed about today. So I suggest you get a grip on your mindless straw-man arguments that don't actually apply to me.

  10851. A company was hired to do research (which was previously doing the same research for a Republican candidate) to see if there was any validity to the story that Trump was being blackmailed. The fact that you think that"research" is the same as changing policy based on a deal with the Russian government is absurd.

If someone else applied the same standard to YOUR show they could also call it "fake". That's not to say that media has a bias on what it chooses to report on or a bias in their commentary on that story, but calling everything "fake" that you don't like is just bullshit and we on the left shouldn't support that notion or give it validity at all.

  10860.  @mahman543  Nope, corruption itself is not a crime. Politicians are bought all the time by special interests who fund their campaigns and offer them cushy jobs after they leave office. It's all called "corruption, but that kind corruption is 100% legal. There is corruption that is not legal, a corporation can't just hand a politician a bag of money directly, but the only difference is that people decided to make a law against it. Most corruption that happens these days is legal corruption, because people don't want to go to jail, but they will do everything up to that legal line for profit nd personal gain. For example Hunter Biden, Megan McCain, or the Trump kid making money off their name because their daddies were famous politicians is basic nepotism however it's perfectly legal. A lot of times people will offer the family members of powerful people cushy jobs in order to get favoritism from their parents. It happens all the time and it's 100% legal to do that. Biden's Advisor's brother getting a lobbyist job is not unusual, it's basically a Tuesday in Washington DC.

One is married and clearly loves her wife and another doesn't like the idea of couples at all. It sounds like they are all putting all of these feelings and preferences under the category of "aromantic" simply because it deviates from a societal norm, but it's all entirely subjective. I mean everything about the typical romance shown in movies, etc. has little appeal to me either and I can't stand romantic comedies, but all of that is a societal construct so its not like you have to like it....

  10870. @Asymmatrix Why give credit for something that has caused nothing but war and terrorism since the day it was created? Forget "who's to blame". I'm just looking at the outcome. Despite being a "democracy" there have been HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths and constant suffering for the past 60 years. Can I look at that situation objectively and say Britain did a "good thing"? No I cant. Especially something sustained only by military aid and constant war, starting the whole cycle over again..

  10871. @Farf420 There's also something called an "uninformed gut reaction". I think I'd put more faith in the people that spent months litigating the case, and the doctors who've spent years treating this woman and studying the side effects of psychotropic drugs, than people having an emotional reaction based on a youtube clip... There's a "temperary insanity" defense for a reason. It's not like the movies where it's the "bad guy" being crafty to get off. It's rarely used and difficult to prove.

  10874. @starcatcher2222 Any state based on ONE religion or ONE race or ethnic group is bound to cause division, suffering, violence and death. You see this everywhere in the middleeast. Case and point is the fact that the US has to give Israel more military aid than any country in the world just to be dominant on that tiny sliver of land. Politics, money, and weapons created Israel, not "God". Successful states are those based on democracy, racial equality, secular values, and religious freedom.

  10888.  @a.westenholz4032  No, I think the media is actually less of a factor simply because of the rise of internet media. If it were the 90's the MSM would have sank Trump a long time ago and Clinton would have probably won. The fact that Bernie has still been doing well despite the constant criticism from the MSM media (even so called left leaning outlets like MSNBC) is a testament to this. Bernie's support has been growing outside that institution through grassroots support. The MSM could easily sink any of the moderates if they choose to because their support largely comes from that institution. Their support comes from character archetypes in a play that the media narrates ("the moderate", "the new comer", "the guy with experience who knows Obama") rather than specific policies and specific positions. They try to label Bernie as "the socialist" but it's not where his support comes from so it really doesn't stick. If Bernie were smart, and he is, he would use the media's antagonism to his advantage. Sort of like how Yang tried to.

Also "vaccinate or test" makes zero logical sense when you can spread the virus just as easily if you're vaccinated.

  10923. I've known this for a long time... This is only one study out of at least a dozen studies around the world that show the same thing. Study after study has shown that after being infected with Covid, the immunity is long lasting. All a vaccination does is simulate an infection so that your body can build an immunity to it. So the idea that natural immunity wouldn't be as effective or more effective is nonsensical, if the body's immune system doesn't work then vaccination should also not work, but for some reason the lie that somehow vaccines are more effective is being perpetuated by the CDC. OBVIOUSLY vaccination is far better than contracting Covid, so people SHOULD be tested for antibodies if they don't want to take the vaccine. However this push for vaccination and booster shots is obviously based on influence by pharmaceutical companies and the fear that people won't get vaccinated if they know the truth.

  10926. Most of the energy created by nuclear power plants is released into the atmosphere as heat. Something you should be concerned about if you care about "global warming". Just because it doesn't emit CO2 doesn't mean it doesn't contribute to global warming. Also you cannot just snap your fingers and create nuclear power plant, you can be waiting a decade to get a new one online. Never mind the nuclear waste, damage to local ecosystems, and all the subsidies required build and maintain a nuclear power plant. There is no perfect energy solution. Nuclear might be better than burning fossil fuels, but I wouldn't exactly call it green nor would I call it a "short term" solution given how long it can take to get one online.
    1
  10927.  @davidmcmillan4183  Negligible according to what exactly? Waste heat does in fact contribute to anthropogenic warming. I already said fossil fuels are worse, so no one is actually debating that. Also, who cares how big the waste is? We're not drowning in it, it is radioactive material. So comparing it to a swimming pool is nonsensical. A nuclear bomb is also smaller than a swimming pool. So what?
    1
  10928.  @davidmcmillan4183  Makes sense when most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels. Easy to understand when you know how percentages work.... Please cite your source instead of just throwing around subtle insults like "asinine" so I know what you're referring to exactly. We've had constant problems storing nuclear waste. Pretending it as somehow been easy by comparing it to an Olympic swimming pool ignores the actual issue entirely. Sorry but nuclear waste isn't water, so the only reason you would try to compare it to an Olympic pool is to try and minimize the vast amount of recourses dedicated to its safe disposal. Obviously the same amount of resources are not required when disposing an Olympic size pool of water.
    1
  10929.  @zachcrawford5  The difference with solar is that it isn't "emitting heat", the lack of efficiency is what a solar cell is unable to absorb from the sun. The sun's radiation creates heat anyway from just hitting the ground. Whereas a nuclear power plant is generating and emitting vast amounts of heat from the fission process. Something like 70% of all the energy generated is just dumped into the ocean or air. Technically anything could be a green process if managed properly.
    1
  10930.  @davidmcmillan4183  I wasn't advocating anything. Notice how my original comment never even mentions solar... However you decided to assume that then proceeded to advocate for nuclear. Google studies on "anthropogenic heat emissions" and global warming. It isn't something I just made up. I'm sure waste disposal has improved. However my main criticism is that it still requires a lot of planning and construction time and huge taxpayer subsidized upfront and ongoing costs, while still creating a ton of issues for the environment. My main point was that you can't just snap your fingers and create a nuclear power plant. I'm also not saying you should never build any new nuclear power plants, but you really shouldn't look at it as a stop gap or a long term solution for climate change. Only a very last resort.
    1
  10931.  @davidmcmillan4183  The fact that you assumed I was advocating solar was the premise behind much of your last reply it kind of did matter. If that is what you got out of those studies then you didn't actually read them. Again, obviously since fossil fuels represents 80% of energy production compared to 8% nuclear you're obviously going to get a lot more from greenhouse gasses. So without context I have no idea what you're talking about. Which is why I was asking what your reference was. And again, I said fossil fuels were worse. So what exactly are you arguing? Yes the sun and earth add heat. Adding more heat from human sources is why we have climate change.... Not sure what point you're even trying to make. We've been kicking a lot of things down the road. The same argument could be made for all sorts of technologies we haven't explored or planned for.
    1
  10932.  @zachcrawford5  I think you're forgetting the millions of houses with dark roofs, hundreds of thousands of parking lots, and hundreds of thousands of miles of highway that are dark and absorb sunlight just in this country alone... It is still minor compared to the massive amount of heat generated by a nuclear power plant. Most of the sun's energy hitting the ground, something like 70%, is absorbed by the ground regardless. The largest single source of waste heat comes from nuclear power plants. So you're literally comparing a mountain to a molehill. I don't know what you mean by "high quality heat" so what "could be done" about the heat from nuclear power plants is kind of irrelevant in my mind. Generally in all of these situations something "could be done". The reality is that they currently literally cook the ocean around them and any animal life that comes near them.
    1
  10933.  @davidmcmillan4183  No one is questioning the insulation effect from greenhouse gases, but waste heat does in fact contribute to global warming. Yes, obviously nothing adds more energy to this planet than the sun. 🙂 Again, these are things I have not questioned. However my point was and still is that waste heat does contribute to climate change and the biggest single source of waste heat are nuclear power plants. And when you add more nuclear plants you increase the amount of waste heat. Again, for like the 3rd time, I never said that fossil fuels weren't worse. I also literally said in my initial comment that all energy has problems, yet you still keep implying that I think solar is problem free. Again, my point was/is that we shouldn't think of nuclear as a stop gap, but as a last resort. We should exhaust many different options and understand the impacts before sinking hundreds of billions into the nuclear industry and thinking it's a fix.
    1
  10934.  @davidmcmillan4183  I'm getting tired of repeating myself over and over. Heat waste effects climate change. How much is only an estimate because it hasn't been studied enough. If say the greenhouse effect is 25 times more than heat waste then that calculation will change as soon as we decide to build 10 times more nuclear plants to make up the deficit for moving off fossil fuels. It is likely much less than greenhouse gasses, as I have stated over and over and in my original comment, but it is not nothing. All of these things should be considered along with waste, safety, marine life, earthquakes, etc. rather than just blindly taking the word of the last nuclear power marketing you heard and pretending it's all okay. The oil industry also pretends that everything is great and safe for every pipeline they build. I was comparing what happens to the sun and ground to solar panels. So if you're going to bring up topics from conversations with others you should pick up the context as well.

  10935. I stated my point clearly in the first sentence. It's not just "her decision". It's a decision that greatly impacts both people.

To this day people have NO IDEA that one of the main motivations for 911 was the Iraq Sanctions that caused the deaths of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of kids. Here's an idea, instead of bitching about the media, why don't you COVER THESE THINGS?... We have a for profit media in this country and if you can't get views covering these things then why would you expect the mainstream media to do it? The sad fact is unless you have publicly funded media or you regulate media so that they have a legal obligation to inform the public rather than make money then we're going to continue to be in this situation... The bottom line is SENSATIONALISM SELLS and most people really don't care that much to be educated otherwise they would seek out that media. You sitting around bitching about it, really isn't going to change that equation. Just watch the movie "The Network"... This shit has been part of the media for a long time.

This is done specically so that rich campaign donors don't get taxed while effectively and underhandedly INCREASING taxes on the middle class and poor.

  10945. @megagagnon1 Like I said... it sounds like you're advocating Facism and government tyranny. Unions were created for a reason. Injustice DID exist for years and public workers could not strike and speak out effectively. To ignore that with a completely myopic view that unions are the cause of all budgetary problems Is to ignore history, ignore facts, and insert your own reality. Unions are far weaker than they used to be and our middle class has suffered as a result.

Wow, if that was a serious answer and not a joke then it's clear you are completely out of touch with people and their issues. Maybe you should spend some time talking to actual people who are poor, homeless, etc.to get some perspective. It's scary how people today forget the sacrifices and struggles made in the past and simply take for granted the previledges and freedoms.

  10948. Like "progressives" today, early progressives fought against corruption & waste, "robber barons", advocated gov't control by average citizens, education, land/wildlife conservation (Grand Canyon, Yosemite, etc.), rights of women, workers, minorities (abolitionists), etc. One thing changed is the stance on "prohibition", early progressives favored prohibition because of the detrimental effects of "saloons" on women & the poor. Now progressives are against prohibition of alcohol,marijuana, etc.

  10949. @luvcheney1 1. I don't see how the number if illegal aliens has anything to do with the assertion that Americans are somehow naturally "lazy" and Mexicans are natually "hard working". 2. I still have NO IDEA what "social safety nets" have to do with your point... Are you saying that America is less prosperous with more "social safety nets" compared to countries like Mexico and India? What *exactly* is the correlation you're trying to make? You're not making any sense.

Wow... You REALLY need to re-watch WALL-E. The point was to show how capitalism and hyper consumerism turned the world into a big trash dump.

  10953. Apparently you didn't understand the statement: "Government" is only the problem when we forget that it is "by the people" and "for the people". Those examples you mention (millitary, bailouts, pork etc.) are not for the "people" but for the "few". To suggest that anarchy is better than government is just ignorant to how far we've come as a civilization. Yes there are problems with all governments, but to say you want "government out of our lives" is just stupid.

  10954. Endless "Benghazi" investigations that yielded nothing show us that this tactic doe work politically. However this time around I think Biden is smart enough to actually fight back. All he has to do is use the bully pulpit to completely delegitimize anyone associated to these investigations. This is exactly what Trump does and if Biden doesn't get out ahead of the messaging then Trump will use it to his advantage.

  10956. That displays a very ignorant & simplistic understanding of history and social policy. Somehow you think that because "socialist" is somewhere in the name it directly relates to the policies of progressives in the 20th century and progressives now? If you actually looked at the Nazi party you'd see it was mostly "right wing" and "fascist". The Nazi's hated anything related to Marxism. They eliminated the "communist" and "socialist" parties and killed/imprisoned the socialist leaders.

  10960. When he says "remove god" he's talking about biblical teachings. That's what religious people generally mean when they use that term. He's not talking about physically removing some mythical creature from the school. I don't know why that's so obvious to me and no one else here. In any case if he meant what you/Cenk are implying he would have said something like "incur God's wrath". Which is typically what you would hear of someone like Pat Robertson.

  10962. I'm pretty sure if Ana was by herself she wouldn't be walking around with lipstick on... We do all sorts of things to look more attractive to other people. There's no shame in admitting that. Women shouldn't pretend that spending an hour on makeup and hair each day is "for themselves", that's total BS in most cases IMO. The reality is it was something created to attract men and then it became a social norm that's still tied to attractiveness. If men thought that putting a ham sandwich on their heads made them more attractive, you would see at least half the male population walking around with ham sandwiches on their head.

They found a grift and tapped into it. They used Trump and Trumpism to boost their exposure and ratings. That was the most obvious thing in the world. The only people who actually believe it are people who are a little crazy like Mike Lindell.

  10975. Yeah, people knew about it alright... All the banks knew and I'm pretty sure most people in Wall St dealing with realestate knew.

  10976. @ggadguy Your logic makes little sense, like I said it's "throwing the baby out with the bath water". Instead of fighting "special interests", which you aknowledge as the problem, you're fighting the only tool you have to fight against those interests. Can't you see that you're actually fighting FOR the "special interests"? AT&T and T-Mobile aren't merging because the government is fighting against it to prevent a MONOPOLY. Despite all the money AT&T spent on lobbyists for this deal.

Either you believe there's a genetic trait making blacks lazier and more stupid or you believe there is an environmental factor.

  10984. 1. Again, It's entirely more complex than "spending vs. no spending". This country has a big problem of people latching onto simplistic narratives to solve all their problems. Education has improved, just not nearly as much as we'd like compared to other countries. Eliminating a department because your political ideology says so & going back to when education was worse, isn't a "plan" 2. Sorry, the track record of environmental disasters especially most recently in Japan, says otherwise.

It didn't work PRECISELY because of problems like this. Why the GOP insists on regressing this county back to relieve those problems is beyond me.

  10995. @ggadguy So how did a government which did not exist until 200 years later after the first slaves came to the americas have anything to do with slavery? Your entire argument is based on a law against *FREE* blacks owning guns hundreds of years AFTER slavery was estabolished. Understand what "causality" means... The fact is businesses with a PROFIT MOTIVE are what kept slaves. What stopped it was the government increasingly passing legislation banning slavery. This is all well documented.

  11001. Since you're a vegetarian you're also forgetting something else.. Organ meats. Our consumerism has resulted in a culture only caring about lean meat with little nutritional value. We then fry it or add bread & condiments. There are organ meats with more vitamins and anti-oxidants than many green vegetables. Animals out in the sun foraging on nutritional plants (and bugs) pass those nutrients on to us. Animals in factory farms sitting in cages eating crap pass disease and cholesterol to us.

  11002. There is a huge difference between the "blackface" used in the 19th and early 20th century and people wearing brown makeup today. One was used to create an exaggerated stereotype (big lips, messed up hair) of a borderline retarded black person for the purposes of degrading an ethnic group for the purposes of comedy. And the other is for costume and dress up. Which can also be used for comedy if done right ;-) For example: watch?v=33YWs_Ag8Ns

I got news for you Cenk, just like kids, "parents" are ALSO products of their environment... We need environments for people to THRIVE. Kicking parents when they're struggling or have a troubled kid is NOT an answer. Penalties only treat symptoms they don't cure problems. In this case it's not even treating a symptom it's adding insult to injury.
    1
  11006. As long as our archaic justice system is based on emotion and revenge we will always face issues like this. This is the problem with Ana'a arguments. She changed her views based on HOW HORRIBLE THE CRIME IS which is completely irrelevant. If an adult punches and infant in the face it's a horrible crime. However if a 2 year old punches their infant brother in the face it's called being a toddler. They both know it's wrong, but they have completely different mental capacity.

  11009.  @westingtyler1  Sanders actually PROPOSED a constitutional amendment 8 years ago to get money out of politics. Honestly Bernie has been on this issue longer than even Cenk has. Unlike other candidates he's done more than just lip service. I'm pretty sick and tired of meaningless political posturing, saying "constitutional amendment" is really not high on my priority list compared to where he already stands on the issue. From his website on money in politics: "Restore the Voting Rights Act." "Secure automatic voter registration for every American over 18." "Overturn Citizens United." "End racist voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering. " "Abolish burdensome voter ID laws. " "Re-enfranchise the more than 6 million Americans who have had their right to vote taken away by a felony conviction, paid their debt to society, and deserve to have their rights restored. " "Make Election Day a national holiday. " "Abolish super PACs. " "Replace corporate funding and donations from millionaires and billionaires with public funding of elections that amplifies small-dollar donations. "

  11010.  Mike C  Voter ID is just a form of voter suppression. The only reason why republican politicians create those policies is because the people less likely to have a driver's license are young people and minorities who live in cities and don't need to drive. The fact is there has never been ANY case of rampant in person voting fraud in the history of this country so we're basically fixing a problem that doesn't exist while ignoring all the numerous problems with voting machines, access to polling locations, long lines, people who have to work, polling people throwing out ballets,, etc. You want a voter id, create a national id card FIRST. Handle all the logistics and costs of everyone getting that card (which is most difficult for the elderly and poor). THEN create a voter id laws. Otherwise you're just suppressing people for no reason. "Also I don’t get why you would want to have the public funding, for politicians?" So that they are not corrupted by special interests and corporations.... "I would rather see a federal state and city coffer for election financing and a public nomination Process, where people could electronically petition for their candidate or some other similar Petition process." That is public financing for elections. So I'm not sure what your issue is. That's like saying "I don't agree with Cars, but BMWs are great"
    1
  11011.  Mike C  Just to be clear I simply copied and pasted what was on Bernie's website to clarify his positions on "money in politics". I agree with those positions, but they are not my words. My interpretation is that the idea of "small dollar donations" is currently popular in Democratic campaigns. So I believe it is just a marketing tactic to say that with public financing those who give small dollar donations today will have more influence when elections are publicly financed tomorrow. Effectively amplifying the effect of what we call "small dollar donations" today, even though it's much more accurate to say it allows elections to be financed by the masses instead of a few. The problem with Voter ID is that it's never paid for. If the GOP supported a national id card that wouldn't cost anything and be automatically assigned to everyone in the country, that would be one thing, but they're not... For them having a "pay wall" or other hindrance to voting is something they're perfectly okay with. It suppresses just enough people to make a difference. And again people voting more than once or voting as someone else is something so rare that spending tens of billions to fix compared to all the other problems in our voting system (hacking vulnerabilities, ballot tampering, not enough polling locations, people unable to get to a polling location, long lines, etc.) just seems like misplaced priorities.... Is it really a democracy if 20% or more of the population can't vote for a variety of reasons compared to the maybe 5 or so cases every year of in-person voter fraud? (most of which usually turn out to be simple mistakes). Determining which is worse for democracy is just basic math. Also with better transit systems, Uber, self driving cars, other personal electric transportation (bikes, scooters), etc. I would imagine that fewer people will have driver's licenses in the future. Especially those living in cities. Personally I rarely drive my car.

"Progressives" are smart enought to see BS whether it comes from Obama or republicans. However people like you get fooled by a president talking tough and clearing brush for the cameras.

  11027. It's funny how people think she is "shifting right"... She's had right wing tendencies FOR YEARS, however every time I brought that up in 2020 the Tulsi-bots would get their feelings hurt and started yelling at me. The reality is she has ALWAYS been a conservative and an Islamophobe, she only started "shifting left" when she decided wanted to run for president years ago. She saw how Bernie Sanders gained popularity in 2016 and started following that model. It amazes me how people can look at her talk and not see that she's a psychopath. She's not emotionally invested in these issues at all and she would change parties are run as a Republican in a heart beat. She even dated a hardcore Republican congressmen for awhile.

  11029. 1. Taxes are the way we contribute to the commons & produce a strong, healthy, prosperous society. Whether that tax comes from labor or not is irrelevent to that premise... What IS relevant are the tax policies which produce the best societal outcomes as measured by social stratification (growing/shrinking middle class), poverty rates, etc. 2. Everyone is a hack by that definition. 3. Parties/Ideologies are illusions. When given all facts & angles to an issue most will agree with each other.

  11031. The last point by Ben is right... WE DID have a president who fought hard for real change and against the Military Industrial Complex. He fault for equality, peace, and was the first president who made real steps towards alternative energy. His name was JIMMY CARTER... And because the American People didn't care about "nuance", diplomacy, or good ideas. The right wing destroyed him, called him weak, and gave us EIGHT YEARS OF RONALD REAGAN.

  11032.  @fluidthought42  Of course, most people in the county never pay attention to facts or important things.. However It's pretty sad that you would think people educating themselves on what happened and wanting to listen to firsthand testimony under oath have "politically poisoned brains". I thought the 10 hearings over Benghazi were a total farce, but I certainly didn't denigrate anyone who listened to all the hearings and wanted to educate themselves on the facts. If you think Congressional hearings is the same as two celebrities arguing about who crapped on a bed, then it's pretty obvious that you are the one with the politically poisoned brain. Sure, there is certainly a political angle here, but that really isn't the most important thing.
    1
  11033.  @fluidthought42  Yes, Americans are often more obsessed with celebrity reality tv than they are with their government. That isn't anything knew. I do think these hearings are necessary for this historic record. Whether they will change electoral chances or not we don't know. However I do know that just being pessimistic and apathetic will never change anything. Personally, I do think the Benghazi hearings and the email scandal hurt Hillary electorally. Probably not with the Democratic or GOP base, but very likely there was a tiny impact with Independents. As well as motivating the GOP base to vote against her. Sometimes all you need is a tiny impact to completely change an outcome and with politics you never know what the effect will be. Sometimes all politics is just motivating your base to vote. That's why the GOP is much better at controlling the political discussion than the Democrats are, because they will often repeat something over and over regardless of whether it is true or not until it becomes embedded in the zeitgeist.
    1
  11034.  @fluidthought42  As far as the politics my guess would be 50% motivating the Democratic base. 35% swinging independents and 15% suppressing the Republican base. People forget that politics isn't about getting people to vote for you, it's also unmotivating people to vote for the other side. A criminal case could certainly do that (also could have the opposite effect) . The Democrats have a big enthusiasm problem because of how little has been accomplished. So the best they can do is make the other side seem unappealing too.

  11035. @cupocity303 It's not my fault if you refuse to spend 5 minutes to look into facts. That's called being "willfully ignorant". Your mentality is the problem with this country & world. Everyone is so damn self absorbed. They rely on their own personal anecdotal experiences while being utterly OBLIVIOUS to the facts. It's the same mentality banks, politicians, & lobbyists use to screw you over. Everyone has difference experiences, TRUTH only comes from analyzing data OBJECTIVELY.

  11036. @celainea The problem with that is you end up with a tax system that is infinately more complex than the one we already have... There would be almost no end to the list of products and services that would either be taxed or exempt. There would also be a huge burden on small businesses figuring out which products/services should be taxed and which one's shouldn't. Should a filling or root canal be taxed? What about gold teeth then? What about somethng vague like corrective surgery?

  11038. I think voting should be a national holiday rather than pushing for mail in ballots. There could be debates and news that could change people's people's opinions.

You can "like guns" as much as you want, and you can even say that the price of those children's lives is worth price of living in a society that values the "fun" of using an AR-15... However you cannot ignore the fact that weapons capable of killing lots of people at a distance are going to kill more people when they end up in the hands of those with mental problems.

" That's called "crime" not terrorism... Guess what? 90% of white people are also killed by white people. It's just a dumb racist talking point you guys made up because you like to somehow think it's a stat that only applies to black people when in fact it applies to all races.

  11047. @droidclone I agree that it was a bad example for Libertarian ideology. Better examples of what libertarian ideology brings are polution, destroying ground water, and intoxicating our food supply. Because that is exactly what happens when regulations and inspections don't occur. Secondly you didn't earn your $ on your own. You did it through a stable and supportive society and economy. No one in this country starts from nothing. Try doing the same thing in Afghansitan, Mexico, etc.

  11048. @imRyRy She didn't say anyone called her an "Angry Black Woman". People concerned about stereotypes aren't concerned about someone going "Hey, you're an Angry Black Woman" That's not how it works and that's not what happened to her during the campaign either. Like many stereotypes it's based on innuendo. Also if you're not in someone who has dealt with sterotypes over the course of a lifetime, then you're not in a position to understand what it's like based on a single YT clip.

If a hyperloop was going to finished in 2020 it would have already neared completion by then I would bet anyone that we won't see a hyperloop by this year, the next year, or even the next 5 years, because it's never been practical to transport people in vacuum tubes and it's not going to be anytime soon. We already have electric vehicles traveling in tunnels. They're called subways. They transport millions of people daily in this country. Musk is simply reinventing the wheel and putting colored LED lights on it.

  11053. Keeping an "open mind" isn't suggesting aliens transported his engine out of the car which caused the crash. In other words keeping an "open mind" isn't entertaining every unsubstantiated nonsense theory that someone came up with because they looked at a video on YouTube....

However the macro trend moves towards a more and more progressive position even if there is a set back here and there.

Just because something has a component that is used by the body doesn't mean constant consumption or over consumption is healthy. It would be like saying candy is good for you because glucose is used by the brain.

Don't ignore why a Post Office & roads were important to the founders. This was the "old internet". Technology has far advanced since then.

  11064. A classic example of a "weak analogy" fallacy or a "red herring". It's as fallacious as saying "water is bad for fish because people have died in floods". In this case you're somehow implying that the "scientific method" is an invalid process to apply because a few in the past have promoted bad things perhaps having a loose association to something scientific. Never mind all the accomplishments of science for mankind... This speaks to the "irrational leap" in logic I referred to earlier.

  11074. I don't know why no one ever points out the obvious..... The reason the US puts capitalism on such a pedestal is because of THE COLD WAR... Because we were fighting so called "communism" over many decades we brainwashed ourselves into believing that "capitalism" was the best system. After decades of fighting over ideologies along with fear over war and nuclear annihilation we began to think of capitalism as a religion... Same thing happened in the UK.

Give any state in that region the billions of military aid that Israel gets from the US and yes you will have inequality of military force. We don't solve a conflict by condoning racial cleansing by any "side".

  11078. The hypocrisy from both the left and the right on this protest is pretty hilarious. Suddenly people care about holding up businesses, property destruction, people with extremist ideas within that protest, and outside money coming in when it's not a protest associated to "their team". The reality is that workers are made up of people on the left and right. You really don't get to own the issues people might care about at a given time. The gaslighting that the right does about "free markets" being better for workers is no different than the gaslighting you're doing over the idea that there might be a lot of workers who find certain restrictions overbearing and nonsensical.

  11079.  @vanessamaldonado5877  Please provide evidence that most people in these protests are "upper class" and "racist". Calling me an "idiot" and other names is not evidence sorry. It only makes you hateful and inconsiderate. There were in fact extremist elements in and around the BLM protests and the time people like Fox News acted as if those extremist elements represented the entire movement. Which is exactly what you are doing with these trucker protestors. Tell me, have you watched a single interview of actual protestors or is all of your information coming to you from pundits describing to you what they think the protest is all about? 1. BLM also raised millions of dollars from outside groups. 2. The vast majority of these trucker protestors have been peaceful as well, no different than BLM 3. BLM also shut down businesses, streets, and created a lot of inconveniences for the people in the cities that were occupied. 4. Police have also cracked down on these protestors, arrested dozens (including dozens arrested in France and New Zealand), froze funding, and smeared them in the media. The main difference is the narrative being dictated to you based on the issues you're more politically aligned with.

  11080.  @-suphur What demands from the protestors have to do with restricting freewill and choice? I don't get it.

  11081.  @-suphur  And the BLM protests were also a nuisance to businesses, to people trying to work, whole blocks and neighborhoods were literally shut down, and there was billions of dollars in damages. People also made accusations about how BLM was funded and organized, by Soros, motivated by extremists, etc. It's amazing to me that you really don't understand how you're making the exact same arguments with nearly identical unfounded accusations. Do you seriously not understand how the media you consume shapes the narrative on a story based on their politics? My point is that the right-wing narrative wasn't the entire story with BLM and neither is the left-wing narrative the entire story when it comes to these trucker protests. In either case it is nothing more than gaslighting and propaganda because people don't like the politics of the protestors.
    1
  11082.  @-suphur  The entire premise of my comment was claiming that both sides are engaging in abject hypocrisy and yet you're surprised by a "whataboutism"? You do realize you can't exactly prove a case of both sides engaging in a behavior without examples of both sides engaging in a behavior, right? 😂 --"Hypocrisy is crying about cancel culture and then banning/burning books in public libraries." Which has absolutely nothing to do with these trucker protests... If your entire argument revolves around generalizing and stereotyping people, then you're only proving my point. BLM also raised a lot of money from outside sources, what's your point? There were in fact shootings and weapons confiscated from BLM protests, including several deaths and attacks on cops. The reason you don't know this is because you were fed a single narrative. If you want to understand what people's grievances are then you should try asking an actual protestor. or watching an interview. Making things up and creating "guilt by associations" is disgusting when right wing pundits do it, and it's disgusting when left wing pundits do it. People seriously need to learn how to actually engage with one another instead of just resorting to tribalism when something doesn't fit the narrative they want to get behind.
    1
  11083.  @-suphur  According to the polls the people who support the trucker protests and the people who support BLM are in the similar demographics. Young middle class workers. Pretending that they are all "right-wing white supremacists" instead of trying to understand where people are coming from is about the dumbest thing left wing pundits have done over the past year. Yes, different protests focus on different issues. What your point? It's certainly not "apples and oranges" when it comes to the context of left-wing pundits using the exact same tactics of acting as if isolated incidence of violence and vandalism represent an entire movement or criticizing an entire movement based on some of the people who have donated to that movement. Which is exactly what the right wing did with BLM. The right wing spent an entire year painting BLM as a "Marxist" movement simply because of some statements one of the founders made years ago. Then the left wing decides to paint these truckers as rich, racists, right wingers using similar tactics. It's all "guilt by association" rather than actually listening. It is entirely hypocritical. Stop and think about what you're doing instead of just blindly following the crowd.

Your problem is failing to recognize that guns ALSO play a huge role in homicides & accidental deaths. Anecdotes from a Hollywood actor won't change that fact..

Let's just forget that Trump tried to ignore the virus, lied about its severity, and let it spread like wildfire through the country without doing anything about it until after thousands had already died.

Furthermore, you didn't even want to do anything to stop the spread anyway.

Like many progressives I feel the pain of not "getting enough" and don't get me wrong I feel that Obama is way "too estabolishment" However at the same time when we have a financial meltdown, two wars to fight, and congress more polarized than ever with the republicans filibustering every god damn thing. You wonder how much can one man do to change the "structure" of the system now. It's like asking someone to rebuild the foundation of your house while it's on fire and flooding...

  11103. The biggest problem with Obama is that all those first time voters from 2008 might just stay home and say "FUCK IT".... You raised their hopes, then trashed that same hope over the next 3 years making deals with those same big money interests you claimed to be fighting against. Older people are more likely to make a calculation and vote for the lesser evil. Younger people are more likely to not vote at all because they feel it's pointless. Obama has a lot of work to do over the next year...

  11105. @ggadguy So should people have the freedome to speed, drink and drive? Can restaurants prepare food using toxic substances known to cause cancer over a period of 10 years? Then you have to ask how fast? how much allohol? and how much toxic substance. "Freedom" is always relative to the greater good. What is this "real wealth" that you're referring to exactly? What measures are you using? And please don't refer to the industrial revolution again that was started in Britain not the US.

While you're sitting at your house shooting deer & squirells fantasizing about how the government coming after you any minute. There are REAL PEOPLE dying because of unregulated gun shows. If the full might of the US military came down on your town there isn't a damn thing that you and your "gun" is going to be able to do about it. The way you stop corruption is through ideals and democracy not guns.

  11109. You speak of blind faith for a "free market" that is a myth. It is an indisputed fact that slavery was fueled by profits. Now if you're going to ignore that, child labor, polution, food born diseases, income inequality, ecological disasters, etc to prop up an outdated ideology. Then I can't help you You're bound to be manipulated by the next politician claiming "deregulation" & "laisez faire". A few individuals are already taking over the world through markets & multinational corporations.

Even if he was only halfway joking, why not discuss it to figure out WTF he really meant and was really trying to say instead of just squirming and getting uncomfortable like some kind of pavlovian response to the word "Nazi" I have a problem with "thought crimes", especially when it comes to creativity.

  11112. If you're goal is to prevent "crime" then you can say that a gun ban has had little effect. However If the goal is to prevent mass shootings then there's no denying that the inacted gun laws in Austrailia prevented mass shootings. So to say "it does not solve anything" is absolutely incorrect.

  11113. 1. Understand the difference between "Anecdotal Evidence" and "Empirical Evidence". Science and understanding Institutional Bias is based on "Empirical evidence", not your personal issues with the DMV... 2. Personally I believe in context and intent is more important than a word. That said, it doesn't take a genius to understand why a group of people would be sensitive to a word used in the context of whites enslaving, killing, and oppressing them for hundreds of years.

Eventually Covid is going to circulate through the entire population. Those who are vaccinated will be less likely to have bad symptoms, but eventually everyone is going to get it. At some point it's just going to evolved into the common cold.

  11116. Libertarian ideology always breaks down when presented with facts. First they are Libertarian, then they become "moderate" libertarians, and then independents...

On the other hand Progressive ideology is more or less based on facts and evidence, when the facts change so do the opinions...

It's not easy to "change careers" and who's to say there won't be children in that new work environment? Also I seriously doubt people will have trouble finding another church in Jacksonville FL....

You think candidates screaming at each other and violating the rules is productive? How would that be any more "power" than the "power" that moderators already have to determine the questions that each candidate gets? Obviously cutting off a mic would only be done in extreme cases no different than what happens on any news talk show.

  11123. Cenk, money is not simply a tool... A hammer is a tool. Having a million hammers is not going to be more effective than a single hammer. Whereas having a millions dollars in our society means more POWER and influence. Since we completely rely on money and place no limits to how much power money buys you it is NOT simply an exchange tool, rather it is THE mechanism for survival, status, power, and control through which humans will lie, steal, manipulate, and collude to obtain more of it.

  11124. Do you joke about people dying in car accidents because they chose to drive?
    1
  11125.  @kevinw4267  Well "stupid" is based on a subjective opinion. Many people would think consuming sugar or alcohol all of our lives when it has next to no nutritional value is stupid. Many might think the fact that I go snowboarding is stupid. Just like we all take additional risk by driving places even though tens of thousands of people die in car accidents every year. My point is if you think that "everything has a risk", then you're choosing the death and suffering to laugh at. You can decide for yourself if that makes you a good person or not.
    1
  11126.  @kevinw4267  Okay then I guess you won't have a problem with people laughing at your death or a family member's death if there was something that could have been done to prevent it. Got into a car accident? Should have stayed home. Had a heart attack? Should have eaten healthier. Ha ha, right?
    1
  11127.  @kevinw4267  You don't have to drive 80mph on the wrong side of the road in order to die in a car accident... You're simply exaggerating in order to make your point seem more credible. Just the act of driving, flying, eating sugar, drinking alcohol, and thousands of other behaviors makes it more likely for you to die.
    1
  11128.  @kevinw4267  Apparently you're not seeing my point. Just driving on the road puts you at greater risk of dying. Just like eating sugar, drinking alcohol, and thousands of other things. All of those "actions have consequences". Deciding that certain actions that leads people to die are "funny" and then telling me that I should grow up is pretty ironic....
    1
  11129.  @kevinw4267  No, I'm an adult that understands that deciding to drive, fly, drink, eat fast food, and countless other things all can have deadly consequences whether they intend to or not, and that the world is relative not black and white. It's also pretty easy to see someone resorting to insults when their arguments don't work out.

  11130. Even the idea that we have to legislate women getting abortions "up to a certain point" is absurd. No one wants to wait until they're about to give birth to have an abortion unless they have a medical issue, a problem with the pregnancy, or are extremely crazy.

  11131. I'm pretty sure Trump saying that he wanted GA state officials to find find 11,780 votes is far worse than any of these misquotes.

  11132. @megagagnon1 There is no "private industry" solution that works in the real world either. History shows us that. So what's the alternative? Do nothing? Anything that impacts or preserves the environment or human health for the mostly comes from governments, because it's an issue of "common good". Cap and Trade was the idea to use the government to create private market incentives to promote cleaner environment. Perfect? Probably not. But it's a lot better than just sitting on our ass.

You can make the argument that we had FREER markets, but we also had slavery, child labor, abuses of immagrants, woman, including rampant imperialism completely destroying indian cultures for profit. It may have been FREER for some, but not most. Just like today...

  11138. Trump has done nothing but run from debates.... People forget that Trump LOST his debate with Biden, he was a rambling mess. The only reason he did well in 2016 is because he was an outsider who was able to catch establishment Republican politicians off guard. However Trump doesn't want to debate anyone now because he cant think on his feat. All he wants to do is monologue at rallies.

  11139. @Asymmatrix Israel has a large millitary force because the US provides more military aid to Israel than any country in the world, because of politics. If the palestinians had that kind of aid and were killing Israeli's by the thousands every year in military strikes, blocking food, medicine, and trade. Would you be making the same arguments that Israel "back themselves into a corner"? Or is it simply that you identify with one "group" for pure racial/religious reasons?

Secondly, we don't fire people when they say something you don't like. The judge apologized & explained a ruling that made sense given the circumstances.

  11147.  @adaminfinity1733  I have no idea who that is sorry. All I do is try and skim over various studies as they are released. I don't participate in whatever culture war you're in. We've always known that vaccinated people can transmit the virus which is why we started wearing masks indoors again.
    1
  11148.  @adaminfinity1733  Depends where you are in the country. Some places wearing masks is the default and in others it's less common. Though it has had an effect in larger cities in reducing spread and every hospital bed freed up is a better chance of survival and the less impact you'll have on hospitals treating other illnesses. It's probably less of an issue in more rural areas. Of course, it's not the only thing you can do we could take some of the billions that is wasted on the military industrial complex and put that towards building extra facilities, more equipment, and paying health care workers. I would have liked to have seen a monthly bonus given directly to healthcare workers from the federal government. Just to incentivize keeping hospital staff and recruiting additional staff. Although some of that did happen state to state. It was more after the fact and not consistent. We've been over a million deaths for a long time already. I would guess that the actual death count is probably closer to 1.2 million compared to the official death toll. And maybe a bit more when you include people who died from other things that the pandemic complicated. We didn't need to lose that many people. Though a million less dead than what was projected is still not nothing. Personally, I think we'll see another spike over the winter, but it won't be as big as the previous spikes
    1
  11149.  @adaminfinity1733  Yup. That's the hope, people have been saying that SAR COV-2 will eventually mutate into milder strains just like the Spanish Flu, and Omicron is probably the first sign of that as opposed to the doom and gloom that people are making it out to be. There have been multiple studies on excess deaths across various time periods before and during the pandemic. Based on the numbers it is estimated that Covid deaths have been undercounted by up to 30%. A lot of people didn't get tested for Covid and ended up dying in their homes because they don't like hospitals, don't have insurance, or don't have access to a primary care physician. It's not people suddenly started dying from other illnesses when the pandemic started. So it is reasonable to assume that a lot of these excess deaths during the pandemic, that can't be attributed to other causes, are due to undiagnosed Covid cases.
    1
  11150.  @adaminfinity1733  Indeed. Although most people already want a public option. It's the corrupt system preventing it.

  11151.  @adaminfinity1733  Yes, but unfortunately, it's not profitably for them. "If it bleeds it leads", but "if it has trouble paying hospital bills". Not so exciting 😕
    1
  11152.  @sharonpospiech5116  Actually I didn't, because that's the whole reason for the 30% reduction in transmission. Viral loads are the same between vaccinated and unvaccinated, but since the virus clears faster if you're vaccinated the transmission time is reduced. Of course, that wanes over a few months were you still get protection from severe disease but your ability to transmit the virus increases.
    1
  11153.  Bobs & Vagana  Surgeons, nurses, etc. have been wearing masks for the past 100 years or so specifically to protect patents from the pathogens coming out of their mouths and noses. Which is the same reason why we wear masks in the middle of a pandemic. This isn't a new or made up or anything. Masks are for protect others and slowing the spread, where it is likely to happen (indoors), they are not primarily for protecting *you*. Even a bad mask will at least slow the stream of air coming out of your mouth, so the droplets containing the virus don't travel as far from your body. Now if you're trying to protect yourself, then yes, something that is designed to filter pathogens from air with a tight seal around your face is going to better than a cloth mask. However even a cloth mask will at least slow some of the virus from entering your body and decrease your viral load. So if you're exposed, you'll still get infected but since your viral load is lower, it is easier for your immune system to keep up with it. In other words, if you're wearing say an n95 mask then getting 5% of those virus particles entering your body is far better than getting 100% and having your immune system completely overrun. Asian countries have been wearing masks during flu seasons ever since the Spanish flu and because of that culture, their deaths per capita during this pandemic have been a fraction of ours. The question isn't whether masks work or not, the question is how best to handle a virus that is becoming endemic.

  11154.  @mikeandrews1899  No... It's sort of like saying firemen start fires because they happen to always be where fires are. In this case there is a lab studying coronaviruses in bats because there's lots of bats with coronaviruses around that region. In fact, they recently found a close relative to coronavirus strain in bats in Laos, Cambodia. There has been a lot of propaganda to suggest that it came from that lab, but so far there is zero evidence for it.

  11155.  @jerroldhoward45  Pretty dumb to think that acknowledging white supremacy and giving the FBI the directive to combat it is somehow the same as Trump ignoring it and forcing the FBI to investigate BLM and Antifa instead. It may not be enough action, but there is a big difference between those two stances. Pretending otherwise is just unproductive.
    1
  11156.  @scottolsen5449  That's my point. Trump was basically doing exactly what was done to MLK. He purposely downplayed the threat of white supremacy, as well as all their domestic terrorism acts, and got the FBI to investigate "Black Identity Extremists". Biden at least has acknowledge that the crime bill was a mistake and has made plans to fix the issues in the system. Unlike Trump, he isn't doubling down on racist policies and I'd much rather have someone who wants to fix bad policies than someone actively encouraging them.
    1
  11157.  @jerroldhoward45  All we can do at this point is hope and actively push the administration towards the right policies. However you cannot deny that pushing Biden is going to be much easier than pushing Trump who only cared about satisfying his far right racist base.
    1
  11158.  @jerroldhoward45  And I feel your pain... All I can say is that not voting gave us 4 years of Trump and a more than 30% spike in hate crimes and domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy. Trump emboldened racism and many of those crazies are still running around. When the George Floyd protests kicked off all summer. All we got were militarized streets. However when the civil rights protests happened under a Democratic president (who was probably even a racist) we got the Civil Rights Act. Change is slow and voters who want change need to be more active in the primaries. However as of now we can only work with what we have and we have to push for people like Nina Turner to be elected to Congress and be one of the voices speaking out on these issues.

It's funny how you don't use the "we have a crime problem" excuse when it comes to matters like these. When you analyze the "stand your ground" laws all you see is an increase in homicides with no evidence of actually reducing crime. Turning the country into the "wild west" is not a solution to crime.

The main difference is that HKMA is a GOVERNMENT agency whereas the Fed is independent so it can be completely manipulated by PRIVATE banks. 2.

  11167. @ggadguy That's exactly my point... "in a true free society, slaves would have never been purchased, owned, etc." The key word there is a "true free society". The market by it's vary nature, does not promote a true free society, only profits and gains. In a "free market" you can have child labor, slavory, traffiicking of women and children as sex slaves,, and destroying the environment for profit. The only thing that actually promotes "freedom" is DEMOCRACY of all people.

I find it strange that Cenk is perfectly okay with leaking emails from the DNC because apparently we needed to hear private discussions within a private organization.

  11178. If the Democrats were in charge we wouldn't have been in a nonsense trade war with China, we wouldn't have pulled out all those CDC people from China. Keep in mind that Trump initially ignored and downplayed the potential for a pandemic because he was trying to renegotiate a trade deal with China. This was weeks before he downplayed it to protect the stock market. Not only would the US have been better off. There's a slight chance there might not even been a pandemic to begin with if the CDC was there and allowed to do their job and the US was in a position to help inform the WHO and other countries and help mitigate the spread before it got too far.

  11186.  @sawadee-er7vu  A person can disagree without shouting at them... Cenk made it clear over and over that Trump was a threat and should not be elected and Jimmy had a different opinion. I don't like many of Jimmy's opinions. I think he dumbs down the conversation to a point that is damaging to progressivism overall. At the same time I don't think he should be fired or censored simply for having a different view. People have the right to be wrong. And to be fair A LOT of people were on the fence about Trump. Since Trump had no government record and was vague on policies, this allowed many people to think whatever they wanted out of Trump. I thought he was a racist and a buffoon with no moral compass. However many people thought he was somehow a secret Democrat and better than Hillary simply because he was against TPP and she wasn't.

  11187.  @theIOis  Yeah I listened and I heard Jimmy's dumb argument. Tell that to the thousands of kids who were locked in cages hundreds of which will never see their parents again. Tell that to the people who died on the boarder or in the custody of ICE because of Trump's insane border policies. Tell that to the people who died because they were part of the millions who lost their heath insurance. Tell that to all the people who died because of the spike in racially/ethnic motivated attacks inspired by Trump. Tell that to the woman killed in Charlottesville or the kids killed in Trump's botched raid in Yemen. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands if not millions who will die if we get into a war with Iran... It doesn't take a genius to know that a Republican president would motivate Progressives and Democrats. However it takes an idiot to not understanding the consequences of electing a monster like Trump.
    1
  11188. ​ @theIOis  It's not an emotional argument it's one based on policy. If you think the opposition to Trump's policies is based on people "dying in deserts". Then I'm sorry, you're a dumb-ass who is ignorant to the policies like "family separation" and "zero tolerance" that were introduced by this administration. Yes Obama dropped bombs and killed people, however Trump has ramp up those drone attacks and bombings and has killed even MORE people in the same period. He also relaxed the requirements for civilian casualties.. Which is not something that is not talked about nearly enough because of all the other crazy shit that Trump does. So yes if you care about ACTUAL POLICIES and the the deaths of civilians instead of bullshit politics, then you wouldn't just brush off the numerous changes in this administration has done that have made these things FAR WORSE for immigrants and that have killed FAR MORE US citizens and civilians in the middle east. You also wouldn't brush off the fact that we are close to war with Iran that will lead to millions of civilians casualties and will end up far worse than Iraq.

  11189. 16:00 Saagar was literally up in arms over Clinton saying that Biden should not concede immediately. He said it was "irresponsible" for a private citizen to have such an opinion and yet now that Trump and his administration are not conceding and even blocking attempts at a transition he's sitting here trying to normalize it.... It's funny how you were so outraged that the lackeys of the Bush Administration have been normalized and yet you turn around and do the same thing with Trump officials.... Maybe Trump officials who are not conceding and coming out against democracy SHOULD NOT be normalized in any way? Maybe being outraged by these people is how we maintain the norms that are keeping this country together?

People like you aren't happy unless you can point fingers at people or organizations that you think are secretly controlling your life. That is the only way you can make sense of the world. Meanwhile you ignore the actual collusion and corruption happening daily right in front of your face.

  11197. 4. Obviously "wild west" was a metaphor. It is well estabolished that rural areas are less violent than highly populated areas. Which is why it is likely that the early days of Calfornia, Texas, etc. was probably on average less violent because it was still rural and undeveloped. Which is the exact same reason why Kennessaw (the city you cherry picked) had low crime well before that fake ordinance it passed. Just like other cities like it.

  11200. The same people concerned about the "precedent" of prosecuting a presidential candidate for crimes apparently had NO problems with Hillary Clinton being investigated and possibly indicted right up until the 2016 election, while Trump was chanting "lock her up", nor did they have a problem with Trump withholding aid from Ukraine in order to force Zelensky to announce an fake investigation into Biden right before the 2020 election.

  11201.  @jivet3919  Did I ever say you were a Trump supporter dumb dumb? I was concerned about Warren going against Trump before, but her performance in the debates and on social media has proven me wrong. Despite popular belief, the economy is where Trump is weakest and it is where Warren is strongest.... Trump already loses to Warren in the polls, however any slip in the economy (which is already starting to happen) is going to further put Trump on shaky ground and Warren on stronger footing.

  11202. There is no such thing as Inherent rights You have a right to property and person only after a certain age, before that the law gives your parents most of those rights. Property is also relative, some cultures have no concept of owning land. "Right to life" is also relative. Think abortion or murderers/criminals. Government determines the rules by which we live by. For some protecting "life" or "person" means waging war on "terrorists" for others it means "universal healthcare"

  11203. 3. Once again, corruption is based entirely on the "profit motive". Size of government directly correlates to the size of markets. One cannot exist without the other 4. That's a huge myth...

Many living meager lives to do so. Einstein wasn't Einstein because he was trying to get rich.

  11204. It's about time you came around. Trump is a unique threat to this democracy, he has been for years. We cannot sit around and pretend it's okay for him to get another term. Let's be real... Trump didn't mind the violent protestors in Charlottesville or the Protestors carrying assault rifles in Michigan (which he supported). He only cared about protestors who dared to speak out against a black man getting killed by a cop and the FIRST thing he did was try to blame "anti-fascists" for it because apparently the biggest crime in America right now is to be against fascism....

You make it politically infeasible to vote against impeachment. The reason why Bill Clinton became more popular after his impeachment is because everyone knew the charges against him were bullshit. Someone lying about getting a blow job is NOT even close to the situation we have with Trump.

  11213. The actions of these Trump supporters are explained by basic cognitive dissonance and the rationalization that comes with it. If we could somehow get rid of political parties and "cult of personalities" then a lot of this goes away. Since most of these people identify as republicans they look for any excuse to continue that identification. They also look for any excuse to hate the other team and twist anything positive that might come from the other team, so they make up conspiracies involving pedophilia and vaccines with microchips, etc. When you have a party that continues to favor the rich, they then turn the culture issues like religion, racism, xenophobia, fear of socialism, etc. in order to manufacture an excise for people to vote for them. Same thing happens on the Democratic side with identity politics, it's just less extreme because you have some people in that party who actually fight to help people.

  11214.  Ryan Anthony  Well they would certainly lose the Congress in 2022 and 2024 as the Republicans spent the next 3-7 years running against Biden's overreach. It would be like everything they did against Obamacare & Benghazi on steroids. There is a lot more involved than just Pelosi and Conservative Dems.
    1
  11215.  Ryan Anthony  I do agree that things have changed and those arguments are falling flatter and flatter. However the problem is that most of those arguments don't fall flat to people in Congress as well as the mainstream media who come from a different generation. You will not find anyone who is going to fight as hard as the Squad against the onslaught of propaganda that will come from Fox and the GOP. The main reason these arguments fall flat is that the right wing has nothing real to argue against. Creating a Medicare for all system through executive order would give them something real and validate at least some of their over the top rhetoric. Never mind the fact that the Supreme Court would strike it down immediately.

  11217. 1. Supporting a system which promotes corruption, gross inequality, poverty, mental illness and then saying "Be nice and have principles" is as silly as putting children in a room full of candy and saying "Don't eat too much". The more we're tied to money instead of each other the more it doesn't matter what someone does to obtain it. If you can buy your way out of nearly *any* situation it becomes more about not getting caught or bribing the right politician, judge, etc. than accountability.

  11218. @Asymmatrix No unforunately the whole world has to "deal with it". Since the entire middleast conflct and the resulting deaths from violence, terrorism (including 911), and US wars in that region stem from that apartheid situation. Simply because one group wants to suppress another and create a state NOT based on democracry but a "mythical birthright" judged by religious and ethnic segregation. ANY state based on ONE race or ONE religion is bound to cause nothing but endless suffering.

Again if it were Democrats doing anti-Biden ads people like Fox and Trump would be celebrating it every single day. However instead we progressives overthink things and start attacking each other. Just take "yes" for an answer and move on.... Biden and Obama are always going to be conciliatory towards Republicans, this video isn't going to change that fact. We need to focus on progressive issues that Biden can be pushed on. Focusing on the Lincoln Project, doesn't do that. It doesn't do anything frankly.

We've been in a pandemic for OVER A YEAR where wearing masks and social distancing were the ONLY ways of controlling that pandemic. It's not unreasonable to think that it's going to take some time for people to adjust to a new reality after they've spent a year or more adjusting to wearing masks. The fact that you're trying to turn "listening to science" into a culture war issue only says that you're willing pretty much willing to politicize anything in order to find something to criticize Maddow about.. Laughing at people being overly cautious about a virus that has killed a million people in this country is pretty disgusting if you ask me.

I don't believe any one person's contribution is worth 100, or 1000 times more than any average person simply because they can play monopoly better. In it's current form the system is inefficient and wasteful.

Kay is just talking in circles, somehow arguing against paid leave but not specifying "why".

So I definitely see the crazy and the overaction from all sides.

  11231. @ggadguy I'm actually quoting the video clip... Stossel literally uses an example of a couple Indians that became succesful bankers as his main argument. The reasons why Indians were screwed and continue to be screwed is money and resources.

This does not represent true democracy or equality, but the "motivation" is the same.

  11232. The reason why Trump could get away with "burning the house down" is because he didn't have anything to lose.... Bernie Sanders is still in a the Senate with Medicare For All and a Green New Deal on the table. He can't afford to make enemies out of everybody he has to work with. Whereas Trump had nothing to lose because he doesn't care about anything but himself. If he pissed off a bunch of Republicans it wouldn't have affected him at all.

    1
  11235. ​ @stephj9378  A "junior high thought pattern" is not understanding why we give aid to that country in the first place as well as thinking that asylum seekers will somehow decline by taking aid away from that country as opposed to getting worse. It means you fundamentally don't understand the situation one bit and you oversimplify things in a way that only a child can understand, because only a child would think that the US gives money to a country for no reason without any consideration for what that money is actually going towards. Now you COULD talk about the humanitarian efforts in those countries and whether the aid to those programs have been effective at stemming the violence, poverty, and death in those countries that have been causing people to flee. You could actually listen to the experts actually in those countries to find out, but to just think "Der immigrants are bad, I'm gonna take the aid from their home country!" Is something that a grade school student would definitely come up with. High school students are generally a bit smarter than that. At least have the intellectual curiosity to know WTF you're talking about.

You're shamelessly trying to capitalize on Amazon hate for your own political grifting.

  11256. Disentropic I'm certainly NOT a Hillary guy.... I've supported Sanders for over a decade, since long before most people even knew who he was. I've gave more to his campaign than anyone else *combined*. However compared to the recent recruits who went on this Hillary hating bandwagon (Kyle included) I might sound like a Hillary supporter simply for not thinking she's the female Hitler. Yes I call bullshit on the way Kyle made huge leaps regarding Hillary and the Clinton Foundation. His assumption is that it was "pay to play" with zero *evidence*, yet somehow the numerous connections and arrests from Trump's top advisers and Trump's own history with Russia it isn't worth anyone's time? It's a clear bias based on little more than Kyle's own emotions towards Hillary. At the end of the day all opinion based talk is basically "bullshit".
    1
  11257. There was NOTHING "transparently quid pro quo" I remember the exact arguments Kyle was making. For example his claim was that the reason the US made a weapons deal with Saudi Arabia was because some Saudi princes had given to the Clinton Foundation once. Nevermind the fact that: 1.The US has been pro Saudi Arabia and making weapons deals with Saudi Arabia for DECADES (Trump did a another huge one months after getting into office). 2. The Secretary of State doesn't somehow have the power to unilaterally make weapons deals with foreign governments without the president or joint chiefs. 3.You don't even get money from a "non-profit" unless you're actually employed by that "non-profit". Yet somehow in Kyle's mind it was an open and shut case of quid pro quo. However when it comes to Trump and the fact that they changed the RNC platform to be pro-Russia, selected Rex Tillerson out of nowhere to be secretary of state, voiced the desire to lift the sanctions (but was blocked by congress from doing so). Paul Manafort (who worked for the Kremlin and had no reason to suddenly be a campaign manager), Mike Flynn, and ALL of Trumps numerous business connections to the Russian Oligarchs and Mafia, we're to believe that this is a non-story... I don't give a shit if some democrats raised the Russia issue once. To ignore evidence because of hate for Hillary is despicable.... It makes you a "hack". And speaking of hacking, a local exploit doesn't somehow exclude Russia from the hacking, that's just pure cherry picking from Kyle. Picking one story while ignoring DOZENS of others. Regardless, you don't leak from the DNC and not the RNC unless you have a specific political agenda. People pretend as if emails from the RNC (Who were actively trying to rewrite rules to get rid of Trump) wouldn't be worse than the emails from the DNC.

  11258. Your fundamental problem is your inability to understand "inequality" and "institutional bias" without getting emotional and defensive about it. To believe that somehow that the topic itself (backed by empirical evidence) is a personal attack against you is irrational. I can understand how over the course of a few decades Jews were driven into poverty in Germany during the early 20th century because of policies and bias. That doesn't mean I hate Germans or blame the people living there today.

It's class warfare and the military decided to side with the elites. In a democracy you remove people through democractic means, you prosecute through a judicial system. You DON'T stage a military coup Look at the results: riots, political motivated imprisonment, and martial law Perhaps you're the one buying into propoganda...

  11260. Yes humans have instincts cultivated in our biology over millions of years. However here's where you're wrong... Humans don't all behave the same. All over the world there are countries less violent and more stable than others. Our environment dictates our behavior. Society and "ideals" is the control for base instincts. At one time Vikings regularly raped, murdered, and pillaged neighboring areas. Now the Scandinavian countries are regarded as the most peaceful and stable in all Europe.

If you're going to get on a soap box about by every RAP SONG that objectifies women based on some attribute you might as well turn this into a 24 hour network..

  11269. I don't like how TYT over the years have been adopting more and more "cable news" like sets and props... It's like they are constantly trying to appeal to the big networks like CNN, MSNBC, etc. To me the set should reflect a more intimate, conversational, & relaxed atmosphere. If they keep trying to emulate a big cable news show they run the risk of basically losing out on what makes it a good show which is more like a hybrid between a talk show and a news commentator show.

They only have a political ideology that refuses to acknowledge anything outside of their worldview. If a cruise ship was sinking, this guy would point out that sometimes lifeboats don't work. It's also funny watching him downplay government's role but at the same time talking about property rights and state regulation in cleaning up the environment.

"Is 100 people with 1 security equal to 1 person with 100 security or not?" You can make a nonsense argument out of anything.

She was dating republican thug Micheal Grimm when he threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony for asking questions he didn't like. She's flipped on healthcare, torture, etc. Even came out against the Democrats who were fighting Trump on his spending bill last year. I hope Tulsi is the progressive she wants us to believe she is. However she needs to spend a few years proving it before jumping on the presidential bandwagon. Right now she's all about running for president.

"Investment" does not mean "subsidizing" and "Policy" is a mixture of carrots and sticks used by federal and/or state governments. The problem is the knee jerk reaction many people have when the word "government" is mentioned which turns any discussion into ideolgy and dogmatic statements like: "the gov't is lousy at industrial policy"

  11290. I get sick and tired of this self serving talking point of blaming "the media" for the problems with the lunatics in this country. The fact is Fox News made an entire business model from conservatives who wanted to be lied to every day, before that was Rush Limbaugh, and before that was Ronald Regan and people constantly lying about "trickle down economics" and "welfare queens". There has ALWAYS been a large segment of the population who enjoy lies and propaganda long before what we call "mainstream media".

  11296.  @Sam-ke4ig  I would certainly feel they are worthy of praise if they adopted, for doing something more selfless and a benefit to society than just paying people a lot of money to copy genes for them. What about the two women involved? Do they deserve "congratulations" for getting impregnated, carrying the babies to term, and delivering them or do they not matter since they are not keeping the babies? What would you be "congratulating" Dave for exactly? It seems like you're just following a tradition more than anything else.
    1
  11297.  @Sam-ke4ig  What's wrong with questioning a tradition that doesn't make sense? I simply gave my opinion on the topic. You seem to be making a mountain out of that opinion. Being unquestioning of tradition is a more conservative attitude. I am not, so I tend to question tradition when it doesn't make sense and think about the greater consequences. When I think of telling someone "congratulations" it is for a personal accomplishment like getting an award, or the job they want, or winning a competition, or completing a major project of some kind. If someone spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on a custom car (or a pair of babies), I don't think "congratulations" I just think "okay, cool"

You sound like an idiot talking to someone who actually knows people living in Kennesaw... 3. Again, there are many peer reviewed studies correlating guns per capita to homicides & deaths. If you actually care about facts & reality instead of your own "personal interpretations" then I suggest you read them. The Harvard School of Public Health references several.

  11304.  @vla1ne  Wrong... The 2 million dead was if we did absolutely "nothing". Not 2 million dead if we actually did something like shut down, wear masks, social distance, etc.. However if we were proactive like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, etc. we would be looking at a few thousand deaths not a few hundred thousand deaths. Furthermore we are projected to have 400, 000 deaths by January. So it's pretty reasonable to assume that on this current path we will be close to a million deaths 2 years into this pandemic. A quarter million Americans are dead today because of people like you constantly downplaying the numbers. Stop the bullshit already. --"please don't hop over to the "well trump said it'll be gone by X" as an argument. nobody with common sense believed that claim at the start," Most of Trump's supporters lack common sense which is why they believed him. They are the ones not taking it seriously TODAY They also believed that Hydroxychloroquine was a magical cure simply because Trump said so. This is why we shouldn't elect leaders who lie constantly, because their stupid followers will believe them. We cannot stop a virus when a quarter of the population are idiots who blindly follow an "Idiot in Chief".

Roosevelt was instrumental in conserving about 230 million acres (930,000 km2) of American soil among various parks and other federal projects"

  11307. Dammit Kyle. I dislike Jeff Sessions with a passion, but you're going to make me defend him here, because you're making a dumb ass straw man argument and I hate that bullshit. Jeff Sessions DID NOT SAY "all chronic pain patients should tough it out". He SPECIFICALLY SAID that SOME people need to take aspirin sometimes and the specific example he used was a hand surgery. NOT SOMEONE WITH CHRONIC PAIN. And you know what? HE'S FUCKING RIGHT.... Why? Because he's not talking about people with chronic debilitating pain he's talking about people like ME. Last year I broke my wrist and I needed to get surgery. The doctors and nurses were constantly trying to dose me with the strongest pain medication they had even though I didn't need it. They were so used to people asking them for meds that the entire hospital was just numb to the idea of keeping people constantly medicated. It got so bad that had to refuse medication a couple times. When the doctor handed me a prescription for more pain meds he finally said to me. "You know, most like you'll be fine with just Tylenol" and he was RIGHT. I got some Tylenol and that was all I needed, even after my wrist surgery all I needed some Tylenol for the first few days and I was fine. However you have people who get pain medications overprescribed because they're handing them out like candy and then they get addicted to them Jeff Sessions here was not talking about chronic pain patients, or 3rd world countries lacking medication, he was specially referring to people who are over prescribed pain medications and get hooked on them as a result. Stop making up bullshit arguments that were never said.

  11311.  @tbrowder4796  A little education is in order: 1. The entire point of getting gender affirming care when you're a child is to stop the hormones that involve those changes that create larger muscles, bigger bones, etc. Boys don't magically come out of the womb stronger, they develop as they grow with hormones like testosterone which can actually be higher in female children before the age of 10. 2. Not all sports rely on raw strength. 3. You do realize there are also "trans boys" who are born biologically female right? So based on your logic they should be disadvantaged and still not allowed to play sports for some reason? 🤔
    1
  11312.  @tbrowder4796  Obviously it requires education when you keep saying "man" when we're referring to children in high school. And yes the entire reason we're talking about children transitioning is because they realize at an early age that something is wrong and they want to do something about it before puberty sets in. Doing something before puberty IS THE ENTIRE POINT.... Do you not get that? Again, why are you talking about "men" when we're talking about non-adults? Do you not know the topic of the video you're commenting on?
    1
  11313.  @tbrowder4796  First off I don't believe you. Secondly, for the sake of argument if what you're saying is true and this person transitioned sometime after puberty, after their muscles/body developed, and is not on any hormone blockers then this proposal already takes into account "fairness". However if you're not going to understand the topic and instead demonize other children because of your own personal issues, then you're not actually helping anything.
    1
  11314.  @tbrowder4796  Again, there's a reason why there's a "fairness" clause in this proposal. Some kids can transition later than others and if it causes a clear problem then it can be handled by the school. Which is exactly what I spelled out in the comment you replied to.... At the same time we shouldn't pretend that ALL trans kids are the same. They're not. Some girls transition into boys. Some boys transition well before beginning puberty (which again, is the point) and every situation needs to be handled individually before just blanketly telling kids they're not allowed to participate. Any thoughts of "unfairness" is literally nothing compared to what these trans kids have to endure every day of their lives. They also deserve to have as normal of school life as they can without being treated as pariahs. High school is already hard enough when you're not constantly being reminded that you're different than everyone else.

  11315. I've had the same experience. I drive an old classic car, but I used to work at a financial firm so I would normally wear business clothes. This cop pulls me over, he walks up to the driver window and as soon as he looked in and saw what I was wearing (I think I might have been in a full suit at the time) his tone and body language completely changed... I don't know who he thought I was, but I could have sworn that he even apologized for pulling me over. He didn't even ask for my drivers license or anything.

You really need to stop listening to a guy who's simply the face of a mediocre investment firm. Even that woman interviewing him was basically laughing at him and his simplistic notions.

  11329. @megagagnon1 Actually no, I wasn't talking about Maddow at all.... (although it appears you're right about the surplus), I was referring to additional spending that's ok, while cutting benefits and threatening middle class jobs. At the same time adding to the deficit by cutting taxes for big businesses. The unions already agreed to cuts and additional payments to their benefits. This never had anything to do with balancing a budget, only taking away people's right to organize and bargain.

  11331. I agree with you about 70%... My impression is that Thom advocates for equality and egalitarianism. He sees more arguments and policies against those ideals coming out of the republican party. However when talking about NAFTA, Wall St , etc. he often lays criticism to Reagan, Clinton, and Obama. He sees money in politics as a problem regardless of party. At the same time being more closer aligned to Democratic policies he seems less willing to criticize Obama during an election campaign.

  11335.  @dustigenes  I'm not so sure about that. Either way that's where this type of judgement belongs. In my mind it's just as dumb as the "stand your ground" laws which automatically pronounce people's innocence when they murder someone under a certain condition. We shouldn't create laws that pass automatic judgments on people regardless of the circumstances. Our justice system is screwed up on a lot of levels, but this isn't how you fix it.
    1
  11336.  @dustigenes  Actually in CA you can get banned from owning a gun for 10 years following a conviction. So there is precedent. I'm all for a judge making that determination and laws to make that happen rather than having something automatic. I don't think a lovesick kid found standing outside someone's dorm or apartment one day should prevent him or her from ever being able to go hunting with his friends for the rest of his life... Or one really bad relationship were both parties are guilty of abuse. I think there are circumstances where someone might be a danger to themselves or others where a judge could make that determination on a case by case basis. We have a tendency of "otherizing" people convicted of a crime and labeling them a criminal for the rest of their lives. It makes it really difficult for people to get jobs and integrate back into society.
    1
  11337.  @dustigenes  You can make that generalization to anything. However not every crime makes someone a lifelong criminal, just like not every immigrant who crosses the border illegally is a threat like Trump and his supporters would have people believe just because there have been a few cases of an illegal immigrant killing someone.

It is a fact that economic advantages and disadvantages are passed down through families through the generations. It is very difficult to become a rich person if you were born in a poor family. So it is a scientific fact that slavery and racism have effected black families throughout the generations. If you actually cared, you would look for those studies. You can also find studies on social mobility in the US, but sure go ahead and blame black people for having bad families, because I'm sure that'll fix everything. I'm sure they all want broken families right?

  11344. golden taco Right... because as long as you point your fingers at people and say their culture is bad it's going to magically fix their problems? Sorry, but the reason that people don't concede to that idea is because it is complete bullshit. It's nothing more than an excuse for apathy and non-action. The main problem is poverty and inequality, period. It doesn't matter your race or where you are in the world, children who grow up in poor schools and poor environments grow up with poor mentalities. Yes that also includes irresponsible behavior. There is a huge link between environment, IQ, opportunity, and social mobility. Tell me, what exactly are you proposing to fix these issues? Point fingers? Tell people to "do better"? Because those are not real solutions. Poverty and violence is a social and economic problem. It is a fact that societies that are more unequal have more violence, mental issues, unwed mothers, prison populations, etc. You can't look at it as "this is a problem that those people have over there". Like any system, you have to look at the problem *holistically*. If you're not looking at it that way, you're not fixing anything. You're only trying to make yourself feel better.

  11346.  @Amenti_H  Not really. 1. Trains don't take you directly to your destination. 2. You still need to buy a ticket, check in, etc. 3. You have no control over when you leave or arrive. 4. Unless you can find a train with private suites (not common in the US) you have little privacy or personal comfort. Private planes take care of most of those issues for the rich. Autonomous vehicles would take care of all of those issues for most of the population. The only thing missing would be a bathroom, but if you're rich I'm sure you can afford an autonomous vehicle that includes one. I could easily see a future where people would choose to live in autonomous vehicles full time. Sort of like Vanlife/RV people today, but without the need to drive a big vehicle around.

  11347.  @bobdobbolina8376  Carrying a 200 people is certainly more efficient than carrying 1 (as long as you're on the ground). However, I reject the notion that personal transportation isn't ecologically sound. For example, riding on my electric unicycle uses less energy per mile than a person riding on a subway because it's a really light vehicle. This is also assuming that the subway is full. However not all subway cars are packed all the time, so a train starts to lose a lot of efficiency when it cannot maximize full occupancy. When there are only a couple people per car you end up wasting tons and tons of energy. Then when you also account for bus/uber traffic getting to your final destination, you lose even more efficiency. Which is why subways always work better in densely populated cities. Whereas personal electric vehicles can more efficiently deal with swings in low/high demand in any area. Furthermore, when you combine it with solar you have vehicles that can recharge over time and increase driving efficiency even further over long trips.

  11352. Who do you think is going to be competitive with Google when it comes to search? Or Facebook when it comes to social media? Just because we have a different mechanism to store and verify data does mean that some company can just come along and magically dethrone Google or Facebook. It doesn't work like that. Data collection might be how these companies make money, but it isn't why they make money.... Uber is popular because of the conveniences it offers. Block Chain by itself is not a business model, nor is it a product or service. Sure there will be many companies that use Block Chain in interesting ways, but there is a lot of hype and empty promises out there as well.

  11353. @matereymate Becase an anti claim *is* a claim. A position that no theism in the entire history of mankind has ever held truth is a claim that cannot be known. Furthermore if "Atheism" is expanded to include "non-deity" relgions it becomes an even more absurd claim. By discounting anything that cannot be proven by our level of understanding only serves to suppress thought in the same way religion does. IMO the only reasonable position is Agnostic ie "without knowledge".

Giving a miranda warning at least gives people a fighting chance from being railroaded by overzealous cops and prosecutors,

There is a big difference between someone eating some bacon along with fresh fruits, vegetables, probiotics, etc. vs. someone eating a McRib, fries, and washing it down with a chocolate shake & soda....

  11370. There is only a 30% reduction in transmission if you were vaccinated, and that is only if you were vaccinated less than 2 months ago. A 30% reduction in transmission means that the virus would continue to circulate for years to come. That is based on a study with Delta and we know that Omicron is far more transmissible. Vaccines are only to reduce symptoms of infection and reduce risk of hospitalization and death in people who have never been exposed to the virus. They were never created to stop transmission. Furthermore, there is a significant animal population where covid is circulating in the wild. In fact, based on recent studies, there is a good chance that the current variant came from mice and not humans. So the idea that we will stop mutations through vaccination is also false. And since vaccines are not even wildly available around the world you won't even stop mutations happening in immunocompromised humans. Assuming that vaccination would even have a big impact on immunocompromised individuals to being with. It hasn't even been studied, people just assume it.

  11371.  @211teitake  I was only addressing the false statements on transmission, and I think this culture war over vaccinated/unvaccinated is just dumb and unproductive.

  11372.  @211teitake  The "pandemic" has nothing to do with the unvaccinated as the virus has plenty enough transmissibility to continue to spread even if the entire world was vaccinated. Now if you're talking about specifically hospitals being overrun, then sure you can make an argument that unvaccinated stress the healthcare system more during a large wave. Although 20% of hospitalizations are fully vaccinated individuals so it's not like there wouldn't be a surge on the healthcare system at all.

Basically you don't know WTF you're talking about. You're repeating a bunch of racist Zionist propaganda built around separating "Palestinians" or "Arabs" from "Jews" when before that there wasn't such a distinction.

  11397. No, the question is: What did his protest represent? Not once did you ever even bother to ask that question. Not even *once*. Because the truth is you really don't give a shit.

  11398. Institutional bias in arrests, shootings, convictions, and prison terms has been proven in numerous studies. It is an irrefutable fact. If you're not basing your ideas in fact or studies then you really don't have any foundation for what you believe. So the idea that you would consider someone else "lied to" or "fooled" is pretty laughable when the foundation of what you believe isn't based on facts.

  11399. Believe it or not when people do studies they factor for things like poverty, income, etc. Believe it or not, people who actually study data and do statistics for a living first learn about extraneous variables in like their first year of college. As amazing as it may sound, you are not somehow the lone genius who discovered that there is more crime in poor areas. Gee do you think it might be one of the first things that someone would factor for if they were doing a study on racial bias?.... Here's an idea... why don't you actually read the studies on institutional/systemic bias and see how much work goes into factoring out many different extraneous variables instead of just pretending everything is debunked based on shit that even a child knows? Because if you actually cared about his issue you would bother to look at studies instead of just believing whatever bullshit pops into you head. And you wonder why there is anger at people like you. You go around pretending that other people's problems don't exist (They're just making it up! right?) simply because you haven't experienced it personally nor have you even bothered to look at studies on the subject.
    1
  11400. If you think all studies have a "political agenda" before you've even looked at them then that's the real problem here.... Furthermore how do you know that you're not being fed bullshit information? You "know blacks are pulled over in certain areas more than whites" so why wouldn't you ALSO think that they are arrested more or killed more? That would be consistent right? There are more whites in this country than blacks so OF COURSE they should be arrested more and killed more. That's why we say that blacks are killed, arrested, convicted, and given longer prison sentences for the same crime "disproportionately" or at a "higher rate". This is basic percentages man. Obviously the concerning part is the fact that the rate is *higher*. Here are the stories that I know off the top of my head: There was a white homeless man shot because officers didn't want him camping where he was, there was a white man killed (shot in by a woman police officer) for seemingly reaching for something when all he was doing was trying to get up or something. There was a white teenage boy shot by a police officer because he was caught trying to pick up some weed and when he tried to drive away the office shot into the car. The last one was actually talked about by BLM, but no one cared. MLK always talked about the struggles of the white poor along with the black people. You've heard of the old quote during the Nazi regime: "First they came for the Socialists, and I said nothing. Then they came for the Jews and I said nothing" etc.. This country would be much better off if people like you joined the struggle instead of simply pretending that it doesn't exist. Everyone is well aware that these issues effect more than just black people.

  11401. Sorry, I can't take anyone seriously who thinks that all studies are "misleading". Published studies go through peer review which insures the methodology is objective. If you don't know the difference then yes you will be fooled. If all you do is go through life believing shit that just "feels right" then it just means you're someone who can be easily manipulated by propaganda. There is a lot of well funded propaganda out there, but there is no "side" to science. The "scientific method" is the entire reason we can communicate right now over a network. There is no point in talking to someone ruled by religious dogma over objective reality. I might as well be talking to a witch doctor right now because you sound rather unhinged and irrational.

  11409. 1. Yes I debunked your cherry picked stats attempting to slander anyone with an arrest record. However you completely ignore peer reviewed studies, being ignorant to science is not good... 2. The point is "statistical probability". You're more likely to die from a gun when you own a gun. This is also played out in studies on homicides & guns per capita. 3. You simply don't get it. More guns in society is more harmful to women. Owning a gun isn't somehow a magic shield against getting shot.

Do you think it's not a good thing that there is more pressure on politicians who didn't vote for it last time? Sure Schumer could do more, but let's not pretend that this isn't a GOOD THING. Furthermore you really have no idea what Schumer is doing behind the scenes. I'm not a fan of Schumer or anything, but all too often the Left doesn't take "yes" for an answer. Instead of adding to the political pressure to getting a $15 minimum wage, you bitch about what Schumer could be doing which is also accomplishes nothing because Schumer doesn't watch this show. In what universe do you think Schumer can magically whip 8 votes and force other Senators to change their votes? Biden has far more ability to add political pressure than Schumer.

If you rank all states by the Gini coefficient you would see that Louisiana is the 4th most UNEQUAL state in the country meanwhile Maine is the 12th most EQUAL. In other words they are on opposite sides of the US average. Please Google "The Equality Trust" and look at the method they use (Research->Methods). There are various methods of calculating inequality other than just the Gini coefficient.

  11424.  @blader45bc  More people are shot and killed in Texas every year than died in 911. So does that mean nothing should have been done about Bin Ladin and Al Qaeda? Or does that nonsense logic only apply to terrorism from white supremacists? As I recall we created Homeland Security, TSA, started two wars, and spent Trillions of dollars all because of one attack that killed fewer people than those killed each year in Texas from firearms. Based on your logic, we should have just said "whatevs" right?

  11425. @youngbuck189 Examples? Unless you are planning a military coup. Violence has hardly ever worked inside the rule of a state. I can give you hundreds of examples of people that were simply labeled as terrorists and then stampled out by the government (Oklahoma City bombing, Centenial Park Bombing, Weather Underground, Black Panthers, Unabomber, etc). Violence to convey a political message is only an outlet for the stupid and weak minded.

  11426.  @carlosv9208  Neither one of those cases were "hospitalized" with Covid, which is what I said. You would know this If you read my comment instead of just moving the goal post to something else. Young male athletes have also contracted myocarditis from vaccination. Of course none of that is related to the hypocrisy of having a policy that applies to athletes playing in a gave instead of the people with more comorbidities watching the game.

  11427. Libertarians need to come to the realization that they have been USED by the estabolishment for decades. Even if Ron Paul is elected president his ideals would be simply be used by the estoblishment to cut regulations and programs they don't like and ignore regulations and programs they do like. It DOES'NT MATTER how big or small government is as long as that government is a slave to DEMOCRACY and works for the people.

  11428. The idea that we have to be "buddy buddy" with dictators otherwise "we're going to war" is nothing more than a nonsense false dichotomy. There are hundreds of dictators that we're not buddy buddy with, it doesn't mean we're on the verge of war with those countries. Being emotional about any leader of any country can lead to bad things. It's not like Trump has ever screwed over anyone he was friends with in the past...

I'm more likely to trust local investigators as details unfold than conspiracy theorists falsely believing cars can't catch on fire after accidents. it's also irresponsible & hypocritical for Cenk to suggest a secret plot against Hastings. Something he'd normally laugh at if a republican did the same thing...

  11432. Agree with Cenk. Ana, scientifically there is no such thing as multitasking. You might think you're getting stuff done, but you would really get it done faster sitting your ass down instead of pretending you can walk and do shit at the same time. Think about the danger you could be putting your dog into as well. Suddenly your dog could be in the way of a bicycle or car and you're too busy on the phone to pay attention. You could cause an accident that not only effects you but other people as well.

  11433. You're basically saying "science" is silly, based on a misunderstanding of biology & evolution. The study was about the mechanisms of attraction, "fitting in a group" is irrelevant to that. Wolves live in packs, some fish swim in schools. "Fitting into groups" is an evolutionary part of our biology. So we developed a voice box, a language center in our brains, emotional bonds, etc. Culture is related in that it comes from our biolgical ability to learn and immitate behavior around us.

If war and violence is what you DO NOT want, then you would have wanted that situation handled entirely differently. Instead you're sitting here pretending that war is bad except when we start a war by removing troops which is a completely nonsensical point. oolong means multiple things besides just a character on dragonball...

It doesn't benefit him in any way to run directly against Trump. So he's sitting on the sidelines, making sure his name is out there, but he won't announce any campaign unless Trump is indicted or implodes. His best strategy is to wait until 2028. He's relatively young and all the time in the world.

"Intimidation" is just another way that corporations own our media. In this case it's not only our media but our police and federal agencies as well....

However there have been numerous studies showing bias in hiring where less qualified candidates with white sounding names are hired over people with black sounding names but more qualifications.

What would you call that?

You also need your head examined if you think race is more important than 15 years of medical school, internship, and residency required to be a brain surgeon. But that's just how dumb racist thinking is, you create simplistic scenarios to make yourselves feel better instead of looking at reality.

You know this, so please quit the bullshit straw man arguments. Furthermore regardless of the stabbings in London the homicide rate is 1/3 that of NYC why would you bring up something that completely defeats your argument? Secondly Switzerland actually has stronger gun control than in the US. Weapons are considered military equipment so they strongly regulate what you do with that gun and even heavily restrict the purchase of bullets. Lastly WTF is your solution to the problem exactly?

They appointed a Republican donor with conflicts of interests in May right after the Coronavirus shut downs and after the democratic primaries. They KNEW that mail in voting was going to be a big deal this election. Hillary is just saying don't go into this being naïve and thinking that the GOP is going to be nice and play fair, they're not and ever since the Southern Strategy, they never have been.

  11498. At least Austria considers prior infection... The problem with the messaging in this country is that people now think that it is "safe" to get together for the holidays when they were vaccinated 6 months ago. If you are vaccinated you can transmit the disease almost as easily as someone who is unvaccinated and if you were vaccinated over 6 months ago without a booster, there's a good chance you can get infected. So I fully expect to see a spike in so called "break through infections" during the holidays.

  11511. There is a difference between stopping "mass shootings" and stopping "crime"... Obviously the gun laws in Austrailia and the UK didn't stop "crime". However there is no doubt that they reduced or altogether eleminated mass shootings. Especially mass shootings in schools killing children. 20 deaths among 20,000 is not a significfant change in overal homicides however it is quite significant when it is YOUR child that is killed in a situation that could have been prevented.

  11512. 3. MSNBC made edits because either consciously or unconsciously they wanted to sensationalize the story around a narrative. Ever since "news" became a profit center it is more about "sizzle" than facts. Fox News is almost ENTIRELY based on this model... stupefying viewers on what to be "outraged" about. The BBC is mandated by a charter to "educate &inform" the public. Which is how it used to be in the US before the 80s. Comparing any US cable news channel to the BBC is like night and day.

  11513.  @erenluin8122  Sure all those people protesting Buttigieg in South Bend are all TYT staff members.... It's not TYT's fault that you disregarded stories about Buttigieg that have been around for years now. It's no different than the Trump supporters who ignored all the stories sexual misconduct, fraud, racism, etc. with Trump before he was elected. When you ignore problems with your candidate because of how excited they make you feel then it just means you're a fanboy/girl.

  11514. The borders are not "wide open" and in case you didn't realize it the original Coronavirus and all variants came to this country from people on airplanes Which is why cities that get the most air travel like NYC got hit the hardest first. Most illegal immigration is also from people on airplanes and overstaying their visas.

  11516.  @theojackson3853  I'm telling the truth when I said the virus came here on planes. You're not telling the truth when you claim that I said it "only travels by planes", because I obviously never said that. Specifically, it first arrived to this country from a US citizen traveling back to Washington State from China. Then it started flooding in from European travelers to NY in the subsequent months. The Omicron variant also was first discovered in the US from people traveling back from South Africa. The US has more Covid cases than the bordering countries anyway. If anything, we are more likely to spread Covid to Mexico & Canada than the other way around.

  11517.  @theojackson3853  Question: Why do you think basic facts are pro or anti America? Why can't facts just be facts? I seriously don't get that mindset. It's no different than authoritarians in China or North Korea who spread lies and propaganda and force their citizens into pretending that their country is perfect. Is that seriously the kind of country you want to live in? Or do you want to live in a country that promotes factual information and the free exchange of ideas?

  11518.  @theojackson3853  Acknowledging facts isn't blaming anyone or hating America. Do you hate your friends or family when you point out something wrong or incorrect? If that's the case, then you muse hate everyone you know and you must live a sad life of hating everyone. However, if you want to go through live being blissfully ignorant and uninformed, then that's your choice. Pelosi said nothing about borders. Also she was not in charge of the CDC. Trump was. and Trump knew for a fact that the virus was deadly and airborne at the end of January during his talks with President Xi. He admitted this on tape. And instead of acting accordingly he decided to lie to the American people for months claiming that it was not deadly and "just like the flu". Then millions became infected, and hundreds of thousands died, and also more people in Trump counties died because Trump fooled them into believing it wasn't a big deal. Sure, it's me who is brainwashed... 😂 People like you just want to be lied to by con men.... as long as they make you feel good about yourself, you'll just believe whatever they say.

  11519.  @theojackson3853  Again the border had nothing to do with Covid. Trump restricted some flights, however he also allowed 40,000 Americans to travel back from China without any *testing*. He also didn't do anything about the virus traveling from Europe until it was too late. Yes, Warp Speed expedited vaccine development, however not all vaccines used Warp Speed, such as the BionTech vaccine developed in Germany. The reason no one was getting vaccinated under Trump is because the vaccine WASN'T AVAIALBE to people. The rollout was abysmal, and Trump spent all of November, December, and January being obsessed over his election loss instead of fixing the problems in getting vaccines distributed. If Trump wasn't so preoccupied with himself, he could have helped with the vaccination efforts and less people would have died that winter. Trump did one good thing with Warp Speed, but we could have stopped this virus early on if he didn't spend years trying to defund the CDC and firing most of the CDC people who were stationed in China right before the pandemic hit. Also if he didn't allow Bolton to disband the NSC pandemic response group then we could have had proper PPE, testing, and contact tracing in place, Instead Trump put is son in law in charge and decided to pretend the virus didn't exist or you could fit it by ingesting disinfectant, hydroxychloroquine, and other nonsense. He downplayed wearing masks and held campaign rallies allowing the virus to spread amongst his own supporters. Ultimately Trump was a completely failure when it came to protecting this country when it actually mattered. Spending billions on a useless "wall" while ignoring the pandemic protections this country had built up since George Bush

  11520.  @theojackson3853  Reversing what "progress" exactly? Most economist say that inflation is a result of the country coming out of a pandemic. So I'm not sure what you're talking about. Where you okay with homelessness and the deficit increasing under Trump? Or do you only care about issues when another party is in charge? I don't understand what you mean by "woke-ness" and I'm pretty sure you don't either...

  11521.  @Skooms89  Again, the US has more Covid than Mexico.... So Mexico should be more worried about people from the US going to Mexico than the other way around. Also people who seek asylum are actually tested. Politicians have filled your head with so much xenophobia for so long that you can't even think straight. You don't even realize that poor Mexicans and South Americans are nothing more than scapegoats to distract people like you from real issues.

  11522. You do yourself an absolute disservice when you translate people talking about the severity of a virus to "no one cares about me". The fact is people who were immunocompromised, elderly, and have various comorbidities are at the front of the line when it comes to vaccinations, boosters, and treatments. Most hospitals triage covid patients according to how severe the illness impacts them and their underlying conditions. I know being disabled sucks but pretending that people think you don't deserve to exist simply because they're asking about comorbidities online is kind of ridiculous. People are just doing their best to try and understand the virus.

But I'm MUCH more worried about the people regulating, drafting legislation, and going to war rather than some political consultant. Leave Gibby alone ;-)

  11528.  George MacMovies  You are being ignorant if you think this is about identity or gender. Progressives should educate themselves as much as we tell others to. I did not say transgender women should not allowed in sports. I said this is a grey area and a nuanced conversation that has nothing to do with gender. The reason we have "women's" and "men's" sports has more to do with physical advantages than gender. Not that you couldn't have a woman who is good enough to compete on a mens team or sport. However on average a person that developed muscles and bones with a lot of testosterone is going to have advantages in sports over someone who doesn't. So if you have a Bruce Jenner who was a top athlete when he was younger and if he decided to become Kylie Jenner when they were at the top of their game. Then the fact is she would dominate all the other female athletes in a lot of sports who never had all of that testosterone. So you can imagine how you would feel if you were a woman who spent most of their life training only to have all of your achievements overturned by another athlete who recently transitioned... You would literally have world records being broken in women's sports and those records would be untouchable by other women. It would also be bad for the trans person because people would constantly think that her achievements were due to being born a man, not because of her skill.

  11529. Compared to Trump's house your place is a "shithole" too. But I guess it's okay when it's directed towards other people instead of yourself. I guess what you're saying is that the US can only benefit from rich guys who only look out for themselves. Who needs you?

  11530. The point is why would they? Why do you have the thought that some passenger is going to randomly start slashing your throat?

Any kind of terrorist act is going to require far more coordination than someone just stabbing you...

  11532. It's an important topic, but it was a really dumb gotcha question. The fact is most people aren't going to know the term "environmental racism". As far as building plants and facilities in poor neighborhoods..... It's kinda your job Tlaib to regulate those things. Companies are going to build things where it's cheap in order to make more money and cheap land is going to be in and around poor neighborhoods. In order to stop that requires specific policies and regulations. So that whole exchange just seemed like nothing more than theater to me. What was the point exactly? To yell at CEO's for externalities that they aren't going to do anything about?

You remember when McCain joked about Bombing Iran? Would you like them apples? Being butt hurt over Obama is making you guys completely irrational.

  11538. To be fair... To claim that Comey believed in everything that Bush did because he's a conservative is like saying that you believe in everything that Obama did because you're a progressive. You say that he was in favor of Bush's wiretapping, but he's one of the people who actually stood up against it and threatened to resign over it. You have no idea what he believes, you're caricaturizing him because of a label. I probably wouldn't agree with a lot of what Comey believes political, however I wouldn't just assume that he was okay with everything that Bush did just because he's a conservative.

Perhaps you don't do that, but that's how many people watch YT. My whole point is that they could have easily discussed slavory, Tarantino, Spike Lee. etc. without spoiling a movie that JUST CAME OUT. Yet for some reason Cenk can't help himself.

  11542. @1CreativeWriter I see. So without any evidence your conclusion is that capitalism is the best system. Despite any evidence to the contrary. There are two types of people in this world "visionaries" and "followers". Visionaries understand the limitations of what currently is and what could be made better, whearas Followers only understand what they have. Visionaries propose new ideas (Electricity, iPad, Democracy, Equality, etc.) and followers just cling to the status quo.

  11544. The problem is the attitude at these commercial festivals. People go there with the mentality of being taken care of. Go to a burn festival and everyone packs and cleans their own stuff and leaves little to no trace behind. People don't just randomly leave garbage or tents lying around and they take care of the space.
    1
  11545.  @Sssssssslf  It's basically a festival in the style of Burning Man. There are lots of local burn festivals around the US and the principles and overall culture is to be "self reliant" and to "leave no trace" after it is over. So everyone knows how to take care of themselves and others. People even volunteer to make sure not a scrap of anything is left behind on the land. So you really don't have this mentality of paying a fee and being taken care of the whole time. I was pretty shocked at the sheer amount of garbage that was left everywhere at the one music festival I went to and how everything smelled from all the commercial venders, etc.

  11546. 1. If your pipes break and water is running into your house and you can't figure out what to do. Is your first reaction to pray about it or find someone that knows how to turn off your water and fix your pipes? 2. It's funny how people who've never really been discriminated against find it so easy to call everything "discrimination". NO it's not discimination to say that calling for pray is "unintellectual". You may find it insulting for whatever reason but it's not "discrimination".

In the heat of the moment I'm sure his adrenaline was still pumping and he went overboard. in his reaction. People do that. I'm sure he wasn't thinking completely clearly at the time. To me this is Manslaughter not Murder.

  11548. Sorry, I'll judge the guy for being a bad lawyer, but I'm not going to judge him for marrying someone young. I'm not going to pretend that I understand a relationship simply because of an age difference. At 17 you can enlist in the Army and theoretically DIE for a belief in your country. Yet you can't decide to be in a relationship with an older dude? Please.

  11549. @ATGwrestling It's the first link if you Google: "gdp per capita by country". Things like healthcare & education per person should be factored in as well which is a huge cost in the US. To me It's far less important on how much money people make or taxes, but rather poverty, deathrates, suicides, imprisonments, etc. Fullfillment/happiness is the goal, yet sadly we confuse those things with "earning potential". Success isn't half the society wealthy while other lives in poverty.

What Israeli Zionists (not "Jews") have done to the Palestinian population is HORRIBLE. My point is that 60 years of PLO, Hamas, etc. HASN'T DONE SHIT except empower the Israeli right wing and making things FAR WORSE for the Palestinians.

  11562. ​ @SaintGerbilUK  1. The Great depression had nothing to do with immigration, this is basic history dude. You're not going to win an argument with a non-sequitur. 2. Never said anything about open borders. Obvious straw man. 3. You misread my very first reply on crime and you keep repeating the same nonsense. Again the "crime rate" is the lowest it has been in years. Immigrants commit less crime. Local police handle crime therefore local taxes pay for that (sales tax, county tax, citations, etc.). You seem to be confused on how things are funded. Again, I don't need to see how it "would work" when the fact is it HAS WORKED for over 200 years since the country was first founded. The evidence is pretty irrefutable. Poor Germans, Italians, Polish, Irish literally flooded this country. If you're curious about the "economic impact of immigration" I suggest you do a google search and do some reading. Educating yourself on these issues from economists who actually do this for a living works a lot better than just pontificating on bullshit numbers you pull out of your ass.
    1
  11563.  Countrysides are gone  They actually do and nearly 1500 economists sent a letter to Trump saying as much. You people really seem to celebrate your own ignorance. There are people who actually study this for a living and all the economists who have studied it have pretty much all concluded that immigrants (even illegal immigrants) are an economic benefit or it's basically a wash.
    1
  11564.  @Bbuzzin5  Changing the label and your use of caps-lock really doesn't change the fact that these people work, have families, contribute to society no different than you or I. It is a fact that they immigrated here, no matter what you want to call them. Do you have an actual solution or do you just want to go around calling people names? Because the fact is the Agricultural, food, and construction industries are all dependent on illegal immigrants. We wouldn't not be exporting as much produce or producing it as cheaply if farmers did not rely on this labor. The fact is "your house" is not a "country" and comparing the two is a stupid way to look at the situation, furthermore crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor no different than speeding or jaywalking. So we can go around screaming and calling people names for committing a misdemeanor just to survive and provide for their family, or we can have an adult conversation and figure out a way of making the best out of the situation. If you had a choice between your family's survival and committing a misdemeanor I'm sure you would do it to.

Sorry, but you are nothing more than a gullible idiot.

  11568. oldgysgt, No Trump's ambition in life is to look out for himself and his wealthy friends. Which by default leads to poison in your water, depriving people of healthcare, stopping scientific research. This is not speculation, this is based on what has already happened this year. It's really not our fault that you haven't paid attention to what Trump and his appointments has already done to science, healthcare, and education.

  11569. It doesn't matter if Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union 30 years ago, 3 years ago, or 3 months ago. The fact is they are a sovereign country that's been invaded unjustly.

Why bring up something that has zero relevancy to a country being invaded?

Share the utility bill or figure out exactly how much water, power, gas, etc. each person used? The idea of "community" is a core part of humanity older than any government. Monetary systems have distorted your perception of this. You've been taught to fixate on "money" which is why you keep coming back to ONLY THAT while ignoring all else..

Rather than ban people for being different FIFA should embrace other cultures instead of their own elitism. Only through interaction and the free exchange of ideas do we all become better people. Black people also had a big disadvantage when playing sports in this country but through constant interaction with white players they rose to be seen as equals.

That's fine, but you still haven't a clue. A few things you mention: Food: regulation keeps feces and spoiled meat out of your hamburgers.

Until news stops becoming a profit center and the "opinion media" that clogs everything can somehow get reined in, this is what you will see.

  11584. No I'm not, you are... The only difference between No Fly Zones and Safe Zones is that "No Fly Zones" are strictly referring to safety from air strikes where as "Safe Zones" refer to safety from both air and land.

Anyone could see that video for what it was. 2. His "evidence" that "Obamacare" is unconstitutional is based on a ruling by ONE judge. Ignoring the fact that TWO other judges upheld it's constitutionality. YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE FULL STORY

  11589. Libertarians always pretend that reducing government magically keeps the "good stuff" in society and only gets rid of the "bad stuff". Let's just conveniently forget people dying from fake medicines, copious amounts of rat feces in meat processing plants, kids, in coal mines, Jim Crow, senior citizens dying in pain while living in squalor, the rivers literally catching on fire because of all the pollution. Here's an idea... how about we reduce capitalism so that we can also reduce the government required to regulate it?

The fact that people own the company (capitalism) as opposed to a government body. Doesn't change that fact.

The reason why you struggle is because you think it disagrees with some ideology you agree with or agrees with some other ideology you disagree with instead of just keeping an open mind. Humans have always figured out how to measure and improve upon the world around us and the data that we have today is astronomical.

  11596. Ryan, "researching viruses" doesn't mean you're capable of predicting when and where one will appear at a wet market... That's like believing that "researching cancer" gives you the power to predict when someone is getting cancer. "Oh no! Your mom got cancer, so aren't you a failure for spending your life researching cancer?" I really thought you were smarter than that... Or maybe you're just acting dumb in order to give legitimacy to this story? Not even our own CDC can predict the future of when and where various outbreaks happen. That doesn't mean the CDC is going should stop researching viruses.

  11607. Excuse me guys, but there several studies, including one published just a few days ago CLEARLY showing that natural immunity gives a stronger immunity to the variants than the vaccines do. "Break through" cases are much more common with vaccinated people than they are with people who have already had Covid. So that "consistency" argument is kind of bunk, the vaccine has less consistency than people who have already had Covid and less overall effectiveness when it comes to the variants. So on that point Joe is correct. Furthermore the flu virus mutates constantly, far more than Covid has, so that's the reason why we have yearly flu vaccines and why those vaccines are. There isn't anything magical about the Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J vaccines. All they do is simulate an infection so that your body can build antibodies, no different than if you were to get Covid. Of course It is better to get vaccinated than to risk the complications with Covid, but it is a fact that having Covid gives you better immunity to subsequent infections because you're exposed to the full spectrum of the virus and not just the spike proteins.

  11608. Trump only has power if he can win elections. That is the ONLY reason why republicans suck up to him in the primary. If they can win without his endorsements or his presence then they will turn on Trump like the Roman Senate turned on Julius Caesar and yes the base will also follow. just like they eventually turned on the Bush administration. The base is not going to follow someone who is weak and I'm shocked that Krystal can't see that. All the base cares about is someone projecting strength.
    1
  11609.  @FreshtexBlackman  Umm... Surely by now you know that numerous studies over the past year have shown a lasting immunity with prior Covid infection right? BTW thousands of people have died of Covid after being fully vaccinated. However when that happens they don't say "vaccines don't work" they just call it a "breakthrough case". It's no different with natural immunity. There are some breakthrough infections, but for the most part most people do not get reinfected or end up hospitalized. Unfortunately a lot of people have been brainwashed by this nonsense culture war and you haven't been exposed to any studies on natural immunity to Covid. For Example: "The durability of immunity against reinfection by SARS-CoV-2:" The fact is the only reason vaccines work in the first place is by simulating an infection so that the body builds an immunity to it. Which is exactly what happens when you're infected with Covid.... There is no magic, vaccines just accomplish a similar thing without you getting infected.

I have no idea how you would peacefully negotiate with NK. How would you peacefully negotiate with the Nazis? If it were me I would probably let South Korea and China lead any discussions, because they actually have a stake in that region and a relationship to the people. I would drop this conceited bullshit idea that only the US can handle North Korea.... Especially when the existence of that regime is dependent on constant propaganda to their own people that the US is an enemy that must be defeated and only the magical Kim Jong Un can save them. Talking to their leaders only feeds that propaganda. Why do you think US presidents have been avoiding it all this time?

  11614. 1. It has been well known for over a year now that vaccination does not stop transmission of SARS-Cov2. Equating vaccination to workplace safety of others is basic misinformation. People still wore masks after vaccination in early 2021 because they could still transmit the disease and studies supported that. We knew about asymptomatic transmission even before vaccination. 2. Saying it is a "testing mandate" is like saying that the Republicans are "not banning abortions", they are just making it difficult for abortion clinics to operate and opening up abortion recipients to civil lawsuits. It's pretty absurd to feign ignorance on what the actual policy was about. 3. "The data" has shown that natural immunity is in fact as effective as being fully vaccinated with a booster. This has been shown in MANY studies all over the world. Such as the Clevland clinic study that has been tracking this with each new major variant for the past 2 years. Sam has no idea what he is talking about in this regard. The fact that it is possible to catch Covid again is irrelevant. You can also catch covid after being vaccinated and people have caught it multiple times after being vaccinated. The rest of this is not a debate, it's just throwing nonsense hypotheticals back and forth. It's pretty sad that we're still arguing this nonsense culture war. You don't have to be "anti-vaxxer" to disagree with a certain policy but apparently everything has to align with a tribal narrative.

  11615. The answer to someone threatening you is to call the authorities. I really don't understand the plan of just grabbing onto a person.... I mean you have to let go at some point, then what? The last thing I would want to do is escalate the situation and turn something that was just "words" into a physical altercation. We've seen SO many "Karen" videos of people getting in people's faces and threatening them, many I would guess have mental issues, however not one person thinks about choking a person out and killing them.... Yet somehow when it's a black homeless dude who has no weapon, suddenly the situation is believed to be life threatening.

  11616.  @Andrew-cs1td  If I were prosecution I wouldn't go that deep into it unless they were going for murder 1 and trying to establish intent, which it doesn't look like they are doing. "His actions led to the death of this person". Simple.

  11617.  @ericw2229  It kind of doesn't matter. The point is you have to demonstrate willingness to avoid a physical confrontation. "There wasn't much room on the train so I killed him" isn't really a good argument. Ganging up on a person with two other people helping you is also not a good argument for "self defense". Generally it would be really difficult to justify attacking a person who hasn't attacked you.

  11618.  @ericw2229  Now you're just making up a scenario that hasn't been established. If a woman I bump into on the train starts screaming at me, I don't get to then kill her because I think she might pull a weapon. I just wonder if you would be making the same assumptions about weapons, etc. if the person who died was someone you knew. Like a mother, brother, sister, etc. who lost it one day and someone decided to kill them.

Obviously that's anecdotal, obviously there are a myriad of issues that people care about, and obviously if you talk to a farmer in Kansas you're going to get a different answer than a surfer in CA, but you can't really argue that impeachment isn't what people in this country are talking about more than anything else. 2. There's no such thing as a "popular vote"? Ummm... Obviously everyone is aware of the electoral college. Which is precisely why we call it it the "popular vote" instead of just "the vote".... It's a question of democracy, not constitutional legality.

  11626. I think there could be a good argument for small government and for big government depending on the situation. I think we get too wrapped up in ideology/politics (more/less taxes, big/small government, regulation/deregulation) instead of looking critically at what *works* and what *doesn't work*. Using simple success metrics that can be evaluated, studied, and then refined vs. the constant emotional/ideological decisions would go a long way towards a system that works well for all.

  11631.  @PayAttEx  You could also euthanize all of our pets, especially cats. Which alone are responsible for killing tens of billions of animals each year mostly for sport. Plants don't grow from nothing. Most rely on animals. Without animals we use fossil fuels to create pesticides and fertilizers. It only delays the inevitable. Without creating ecosystems, you ruin top soils and rely on fossil fuels. Everyone always quotes beef and dairy as if that is somehow the only source of meat. Rabbits for example are highly efficient food sources. More so than many plant foods. Or even pastured animals grown in a sustainable way that offsets their own footprint. Not everything comes from a factory farm. In the grand scheme who really knows what "nature intends". However factory farming as we know it today is merely a manifestation of convenience and profit. We see the result of maximizing those profits all over the world, especially in the beef and dairy industry (which builds upon other broken systems), then we work back from that conclusion. Instead we should start with sustainability as a practice at the source and work forward.
    1
  11632.  @PayAttEx  Well I have to correct you. "Cheapness" doesn't equal "sustainability". Not by a long shot... Factory farming is only "cheap" based on our economic model, but very expensive in terms of a resource model. Growing a tomato in Mexico and shipping it to the US is not "sustainable". It is only cheap. Monocrops and monocultures in general are also not sustainable, they are only cheap. They also damage ecosystems irreparably. Again, rabbit is far more sustainable and has a lower carbon footprint than many vegetable crops. That is a basic fact. Goats are also very sustainable. Chickens can be extremely sustainable if grown properly. Even grass-fed beef grown with regenerative farming can have a negative carbon footprint. Again, plants don't grow on their own. There is a symbiotic relationship with animals, insects, and microbes. In order to sustain single monocrops without that, requires lots of fossil fuels (petrochemicals) and tearing up top soils. You're never going to solve these problems by mindlessly looking at one side of the equation and not looking at it holistically.
    1
  11633.  @PayAttEx  I already listed several realistic changes that are in use today... And that's the short list. People are accustomed to cheap animal products (as well as cheap corn, sugar, etc.) because they were sold on it and there is a lot of money in it. One solution, and I'm about to oversimplify things considerably, is to ban factory farming and imports of factory farmed goods as well as enforcing a certain level of sustainability and land management. This would massively simulate alternative meat products and local growers. Most of my meat comes from people I know. I decided years ago to understand where my food comes from and do the best I can to have it come from sustainable sources. I'm willing to pay a little more for that than new cars or the latest iPhone. What I have an aversion to are people making moral arguments surrounding animal consumption and pretending as if eating a laboratory burger is the same as saving the planet. Never mind all the fossil fuels that go into farming. Never mind the fact that corn fed cows are cheaper because of subsides, but use far more resources than grass fed. Never mind the bee populations and other life being killed off by pesticides or the fact that up to HALF of the food we produce ends up in landfills. The climate crises would have been solved decades ago if personal choices and "green marketing" were a solutions. Unfortunately it's not.

  11634. @CDubSD Saying: "because Bill Gates can give everyone in the US 100 doesn't me he should or that he has to" Is *against* a progressive tax. Are you for the wealthy paying a higher rate or aren't you? It's a simple question. Is it fair that today the very wealthy pay around 16% in taxes while the middle class pays over 30%? The New Deal grew the economy rapidly after the depression. WW2 was an ENORMOUS *government* program paid for by 91%-94% tax rates on the wealthy and deficit spending.

Do you somehow think that a vaccine is developed in a secret room by Bill Gates personally and then everyone just blindly injects themselves afterwards? 😂 No, the reason why vaccines take so long to develop is that hey go through months and months of clinical trials and literally get analyzed by hundreds of people. Something as high profile as Covid would get analyzed by thousands of people all around the world. You couldn't pick a worse way of killing people. If Bill Gates wanted to kill a lot of people it would be far easier to take over a food production company or develop a biological agent that can be aerosolized and disperse it all around the world. Far fewer people would be involved.

Now everything is run by talking heads who are paid to only generate propaganda. People have been trained to watch "news" for a perspective rather than what's happening in the country. This creates a natural gridlock, because there is always going to be an opposing view no matter how crazy or extreme it is.

  11663. @fuunguus No kidding... I get sick and tired of how everything get's sexualized and thought of as a "pedophilia magnet" NEWS FLASH: Child molestors don't molest children because they see some product on TV or see some kid doing something that could be thought of in a sexual way. They molest children because they are assholes who will satisfy their urges at the expense of other people. Same with rapists and other criminal assholes.

  11664. Tulsi was the first one out there defending Biden and refusing to attack him early on in the primary because she was looking to be his VP pick... Would have been the easiest thing in the world to attack Biden on the Iraq War but she didn't. Nevermind the fact that she pretends to be anti-war, but was criticizing Obama in 2015 for not bombing Syria enough. Never mind her support for anti-musim nationalists in India. I feel sad that people jump on the bandwagon for every new face they see instead of embracing the guy who has literally been looking after your interest for decades...

  11667. Randy, First off I don't know why you're talking about charities when the clip had nothing to do with charities... Secondly there are charity monitoring organizations such as Charity Navigator and Charity Watch which specifically track the money used for actual charity work vs. administration costs. So this idea that you cannot ever know how your money is used, is false. There are charities that they can't do much with such as the Trump Foundation (which, *surprise*, is a shady organization) that remain private and don't disclose their financials. However if you're curious to how charities actually use the money given to them then I suggest you start there instead of claiming that all charities are black boxes when they are certainly not... Also where in this clip did they pretend that money wasn't influential? Lastly, yes the profit motive is the driving force behind all corruption. Eventually people will wake up to the fact that the more opportunities for "profit" you have the more government you need to counteract that corrupting influence. Which then creates more opportunities for profit and the more opportunities for corruption. Government and Capitalism is a symbiotic relationship and a never ending cycle.

  11669. @Cap1108 The diference in my mind is that "students having a high IQ" is integral to the service that the school provides. because they cater the teaching to smart students. However your "parents being gay" shouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the school... It's like going to a Big & Tall shop and then being denied service because your parents are average sized... I know Cenk & Ana are trying to be reasonable, but it doesn't make any sense when you think about it.

  11671. Serious question. Do you think India and China are just dumb and don't realize that Putin wants to take over Ukraine? Do you honestly think their trepidation is more about NATO as opposed to their economic interests with Russia? Gee, maybe China wants the option of moving against Taiwan or India taking over Kashmir or Pakatan. It' seems incredibly naive to think that these countries couldn't understand Putin's speech and require the US to spell it out for them before they "get it"...

  11675.  @barkoczigabor8485  Sorry, but your buzz words mean nothing to me.

There is no "mob", only people making their own decisions. TYT has absolutely nothing to do with Disney.

  11676.  @barkoczigabor8485  Yeah I completely understand that you want people to go along with vague ideas based on emotions and nothing specific.

  11677.  @barkoczigabor8485  1. I’m entirely familiar with the fiction you people created. You think that because Trump gave you a platform to be as racist, misogynist, homophobic, and antisemetic as you want, that somehow anyone not liking that is “Cancel Culture”. When in reality it is just something you made up entirely. Bush didn’t go around emboldening white supremacists and Islamaphobes, but now you want to cry because it turns out that people don’t like that. 2. TYT never once called for “white genocide”. That’s just you being crazy. 3. Okay then correct Ana if she said something not quite accurate about Gina’s possible transphobia, she would be the first to correct it if she thought she was staying something incorrect. However It’s clear you don’t have the same standards for your own statements and claims that you’ve made here. There is always a double standard where the right gets to make shit up every day and the left has to be 100% accurate. 4. No they just read a statement from Disney that made the holocaust reference. TYT didn’t make that claim. 5. Aggression starts with discrimination and hate. Hate crimes rose to a 16 year high under Trump. White supremacists have killed dozens of people since Charlottesville. Never mind the shootings at El Paso, synagogues, churches, stores, all because of their race or ethnicity. Countless people have suffered and died. So you can spare me on getting your feelings hurt on the internet because your positions are criticized. Those positions should be ridiculed, sorry.

  11678.  @barkoczigabor8485  Your default appears to be to create a straw man arguments and call people names. Which is very typical for people without real arguments. No, I was making a generic statement based on the changes that have come about due to Trump's presidency. It is a fact that hate crimes have risen significantly since his campaign in 2016, far more so in places were Trump specifically campaigned. You can pretend all you want that other people have hateful ideas, but the facts, dead bodies, and acts of terrorism speak for themselves.

  11679.  @barkoczigabor8485  Exactly how many people have BLM and Antifa killed? I'm sure you can verify your claims with arrest records right? Like I said earlier, it's Interesting how you suddenly don't care about accuracy in your statements. 😂 You guys just make up whatever BS you want to in order to make yourselves feel better. You pretend that everyone else has to be 100% accurate, while you're serial liars. However there are dozens of arrests of white supremacist groups supporting Trump who have killed people, cops, set fire to buildings, police stations, etc.

  11680.  @barkoczigabor8485  lol... you speak of "bubbles" while at the same time mindlessly repeating buzz words of "cancel culture", "antifa" that you parrot without a shred of evidence only because you heard it over and over from right wing propaganda outlets. There is absolutely no evidence that "Antifa" was involved in any recent protest what so ever. You people simply made it up. LMAO "pigs in a blanket"? Seriously? Something that some random people not even affiliated with BLM said FIVE YEARS AGO?... 😂 Meanwhile Trump supporters literally beat cops to death, tried to steal a cop's weapon to shoot him with it, while they stormed the United States capital just a month ago. Never mind the cops that the Boogaloo boys MURDERED in CA and tried to kill in Texas in order to start a race war. And yes there are actual arrest warrants for these cases. Yet you want to sit here and talk about something mean people said 5 years ago. GTFO... 😂 You are not serious people. You pretend to get offended by a chant, while turning a blind eye to domestic terrorism.

  11681.  @barkoczigabor8485  Making up "liberals and blm" being at the capital when every single person caught on camera and arrested have been Trump supporters, is the reason why the world is laughing at us... The world has been literally laughing at Trump for 4 years dude. You people mindlessly going along with every single one of his lies made us look like absolute jokes. Have you ever even LOOKED at a newspaper, or a news segment, or a poll outside of this country? If you did you would notice that Trump has become the butt of jokes all around the world. You look like complete clowns going around with your red hats and your cult of personality. 😂 The only reason why you care about Antifa is because Trump told you to. The only reason you didn't wear masks is because Trump told you not to. The only reason you thought Hydroxychloroquine was a magic cure for Covid is because Trump told you to. You're mindless lemmings that do what you're told and think what you're told. EVEN IF the people at the capital riot carrying Trump flags, wearing trump hats, and chanting "Trump!" weren't Trump supporters, what kind of sad excuse for a Commander in Chief allows the United States capital to be sacked and not do a damn thing about it? An incompetent one.

I fail to see in any way shape or form that a bunch of guys dressing feminine has any effect on your life what so ever. That's like saying a guy wearing a blue shirt is somehow detrimental to you. I just don't get it. Yes society pressures people with a penis to dress a bit different than someone with a vagina. But at the end of the day it's just clothes man...

The present situation is killing hundreds of palestinians and the thousands wordlwide though terrorism like 911 and the US war in the middleeast. All because of mythology and state segregation.

  11693. 1. Presidents these days run for two terms not one. As of day 1 Obama and his advisers were about re-election. Could this mean that his second term will be more principled than his first? Perhaps... Even Bush became more principled in the tail end of his term. 2. Obama started running for office right after becoming senator. I honestly don't think he was aware of how gnarled the knot of corruption was in DC. Compare Hillary Clinton to First Lady Hillary Clinton of 20 years ago...

There are many other omnivores besides "us". Your statement wreaks of arrogance because the implication is that somehow all these other animals and insects are less "moral" than you because of you decided (from your human perspective) what is moral and what isn't for all creatures.

  11698.  @mcc1172  Nearly every politician in the country talks about their faith in the media. Almost every right wing pundit you see on TV does as well. There is a whole industry dedicated to Christian movies, talk shows, commentary, etc. Never mind the numerous horror, fantasy, etc. movies and TV shows that use the bible to fight demons, vampires, perform exorcisms, etc. The problem is that Christianity is so ubiquitous that people pretend as if the negative depictions is all there is. When it is far from the truth. No one seems to complain about the negative depictions of Islam in the media as literal terrorists.

  11699. As I said before.... The "profit motive" has led money interests to manipulate government long before we had even a constitution. This is not new, and it did not suddenly start in the 18th, 19th, 20th, or 21st century. It has ALWAYS been there. The Fed was not this country's first central bank... and there is a reason why slavery continued to exist in this country long after it was banned by all other western governments.

The mythological "free market" has not produced. If you don't look for facts to back up the propoganda you've been fed you'll continue being fooled.

Eventually they grow the fuck up up and figure out that the world doesn't really work that way, but for some reason in their undeveloped minds think that fighting and destruction is the only way people will listen. I've argued with these people online and they think they are honestly being logical and don't realize how misguided they are.

  11710. @ggadguy "free" is relative and purely subjective like many of the terms you use. Yes there were less overall "regulations" in the 1800's but there was also slavery, child labor, and inequality in the workforce that offered little opportunity for anyone who wasn't male and white. Do you actually think our society was better back then? You can find the same inequality all over the world in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Mexico, etc. With slums right along side of mansions.

  11716. First you have to understand that 99% of what a politician says is scripted. Chris spent most of his life in politics and understands these things aren't accidental. It wasn't that the joke was racist. However "the script" was an obvious appeal to "birthers" and the racist fringe within the Republican party. Same reason his campaign suddenly started describing Obama's policies as "foreign" or "unamerican". It's called "dog whistle politics" and politicians have been doing this for decades.

This country has ALWAYS been government working with private industry. Wrong... Poor people borowing money doesn't crash a global economy.

  11724. Your information on natural immunity is incorrect. Several studies indicate that people have as good or better protection from the variants if you've been previously infected with Covid. The recent study from Israel of 700,000 people showed that people with natural immunity had up to 13 times more immunity to the variants than people who were just fully vaccinated. There is another with 50,000 healthcare workers that showed that vaccination was no better than people who had natural immunity. The study in Kentucky that you're citing here (and that the CDC has been promoting) was based on only a couple hundred people and the people doing the study admitted that it was flawed because it relied on people going in for Covid tests which vaccinated people are less likely to do. Furthermore that study relied on data taken BEFORE the current variants had spread across the country. So it doesn't even take Delta into account.

Then to just reject that and say "No, the only reason you did that is because he's White" Or "Black" It's quite insulting/demeaning actually, no matter who it is... It seems like you're trying to make a free speech argument here, but it has nothing to do with it. Pat just made a really stupid small minded argument.

Even though every fact checking website came out against that theory long ago. Even though the local police and FBI have already said there was no connection in the Seth Rich case at all. Because the reality is no matter what source I provide (Factcheck, Politifact, Snopes, CNN, Washington Post, etc.). In your mind it will all be "fake" because it goes against the nonsense that you want to believe. It's been 10 months dude... The fact that you still believe that bullshit conspiracy that was completely made up by conservative blogs is pretty much all I need to know to understand what kind of bubble you choose to live in. You seriously need to question where you get you news from. This bullshit is destroying our country and people like you are blissfully unaware that you're being lied to online so that people can get clicks and ad revenue. PLEASE cross check your information....

  11742. SirVixIsVexed, Actually these are facts.... It was well reported during the primary what the RNC was doing. The leaders of the RNC didn't want Trump to win the nomination because they thought he would lose and they didn't like him. So they were actively looking for ways of disqualifying Trump from the nomination and putting someone else in. Again, this was widely *reported*. However people forgot all about that meddling after wiki leaks released emails from the DNC and Hillary's campaign conveniently before the election. It was also reported over a year ago that the RNC emails were also hacked, but those emails were never released or made public. So I'm not sure what you think is a "conspiracy theory" here.

  11743. WouldYou LookAtThat,  Like I said.... You people will never except facts for an answer.  I gave you 4 fucking sources telling you that the Seth Rich thing is bogus. There are clear statements from the FBI, local police, and his family. There is not one shred of evidence pointing to the idea that he leaked ANYTHING at any point and instead of acknowledging this instead you give me some clips of talking heads?... Sorry, but this is absurd and a waste of my time. Unfortunately there are too many people who will believe conspiracy bullshit no matter what just so they can blindly support their "team".

  11744. Sorry, but you lose all credibility over the fact that you believe a Seth Rich conspiracy that was debunked 10 months ago with ZERO supporting evidence. Your opinions on what is  true or not is not based on anything. So how is anyone supposed to take you seriously? How can you even take yourself seriously?

  11745. No, you sent me a collection of clips from a bunch of talking heads. I sent you links that had actual research and verifiable facts. Not knowing the difference between "opinion talk" and verifiable facts is why our country is going downhill. I don't care what you "believe", facts are facts. And if you're going to discount a page of research as "bias" without ever reading it, then you are part of that problem.

  11747. Instead of insults maybe you should come up with real arguments Instead of what they feed you on talk radio. Statements like "get gov out of our lives" and "rights are not gov given" are complete nonsense and meant to appeal to emotions not logic. The point was to show you how stupid those statements are. Disagree with *specific* policies all you want and you SHOULD where it doesn't make sense. But to think that gov. hasn't played a part in your freedoms and privileges is just dumb.

  11749. @ggadguy It is a "gut feeling" when you make an assumption based on no working examples in the industrialized world... Whereas the fact that all industrialized nations evolved and thrived under a progressive tax structure implies that it DID help. You also see many third world countries where the wealthy are barely taxed at all.. Economic freedom doesn't mean prosperity. Furthmore it's a fact that economies do well when a country invests in itself ( people, infrastructure, science, etc.)

Multiple studies clearly show that the exact same resume with a typical black name is far less likely to get hired over that same resume with a typical white sounding name. It really doesn't require a shrink to point out the obvious. White supremacists groups offer a since of community so you deal with your problems by cuddling up with people who have the same skin tone. However all you're doing is holding each other back. Your fixation on skin tone is nothing more than a crutch. The fact is a poor white person, a poor black person, a poor Latino person, have far more in common than someone born a multi millionaire in any race. You could join others in fighting discrimination in all forms, but instead you choose to wallow in a narrow view of the world while cuddling with your light skin tone support group.

  11764.  @ChucksSEADnDEAD  And what about the fact that several viruses were found in Laos, Thailan, and Yunnan that were super close relatives to SARS-Cov2? Those viruses were able to bind to the ACE2 receptor in humans just like SARS-Cov2. What you're saying here is nothing more than conjecture. You're only pretending that it is a smoking gun or pistol. A smoking gun would be a direct link from that lab to the virus, which there is none. Zilch. So, claiming that there is based on conjecture and happenstance is nothing more than misinformation.
    1
  11765. ​ @ChucksSEADnDEAD  If those bat viruses were shown that they could infect humans, I don't see why it would be amazing that it could infect minks or ferrets. It is conjecture when you don't have an infection going from point A to point B. The first people infected with Covid 19 had zero relationship to the lab and that's the first place you would start. Otherwise, your argument is the same as saying firemen start fires because they're always around when you see houses burning... It's not unusual for a lab to be studying bat coronaviruses in an area known to have bat coronaviruses. You could pick a virus anywhere and it would be a 1 in a million genetic sequence... That's not evidence of anything, that's just how diverse viruses are. That's like saying "what are the chances a red head in a specific street, inside a specific house, could win the lottery?". When you work backwards from a specific outcome, then you're misusing the idea of probability Again, everything you're saying is just conjecture. This is how all "conspiracy theories" work. Anything that is unknown or seems suspicious, confirms the conclusion you already have in your mind.

  11771.  @jackgreen5627  At what point did I say "Chauvin killed Floyd due to racism"? 😂 All you people do is make up straw man arguments. I hate to brake it to you, but you can buy a house and care about what's happening in poor black communities at the same time.... Those two things aren't somehow mutually exclusive. 🤣 And I'm sorry, but if you're going to sit here and pretend that people who can get a mortgage for a house can't possibly care about others then either you're a hypocrite or you've never voted for a single Republican politician, who are all multi MILLIONAIRES. I don't recall people asking Trump to give all his money to the poor. It's about time you start educating yourselves on actual issues. I'm sick and tired of you idiots who listen to right wing pundit garbage all day. All you can do is repeat nonsense labels like "Marxist", "socialist", "communist", "leftist", "liberal", without having a single fact based argument behind it. Then suddenly you pretend that people buying houses, Mr. potato head, or Dr. Suess are real issues when you have nothing else. News is not there to make you feel good about yourself, you people really need to grow the hell up.

  11772.  @tkps  Yes I do dismiss debunked nonsense out of hand. You should stop reading things that are lying to you or at least have the common sense spend 2 minutes looking into whether something is actually true or not. I did, why can't you? Seriously, why can't you? It's not like the internet doesn't exist in other countries. It literally took me 2 minutes to find out it was made up. Again, there is ZERO evidence that this person used BLM funds to buy a house.... Like many nonprofits all of BLM money is tracked and collected by a 3rd party. So it's pretty obvious where the money is going to. They even publish this information online. This is nothing more than a lie spread by racists idiots who want to smear black leaders because they have no other arguments to makes on actual issues. A black leader can't even buy a home without someone making up some lie about it. The reason they smear black leaders is because it's the same playbook that's been done to ALL black leaders throughout history. After MLK was killed people suddenly thought of him as this peaceful leader. Completely ignoring how he was smeared daily for being crooked, violent and anti-American while he was alive.

  11773.  @jackgreen5627  Rich people in congress in fact have multiple houses. 😂 Don't be absurd. You somehow think that if you label something that it's an argument. That's exactly how a child thinks. Try creating an coherent argument that isn't based on non-sequiturs and straw men. How many houses someone buys isn't an argument for anything. It's interesting how you idiots automatically think that black people are somehow incapable of making money on their own. That if a black woman is wealthy she must have stolen it from somebody... Your evidence? "She bought some houses!" Trump is on the record committing fraud, had to pay 25 million for his Trump University scam, his charity was literally shut down for "self dealing" in the middle of his presidency and he is currently being investigated for years of tax evasion and other financial crimes, yet you people STILL somehow think he's this savvy businessman. You want to know how white privilege works? That's how. You're literally sick in the head dude.

Obviously he's talking about "effective government" that can invest in roads, bridges, transit systems, parks. green technology, healthcare, education, that can help GROW societyas opposed to pot criminalization, wire tapping, indefinate detention, TSA, etc. We shouldn't fall into the silly simplistic "spending vs no spending" BS.

Just like Ron Paul he is right some of the time and on some issues, but in the long run he's not a horse you want to bet on for any kind of sensible policy.

  11793. Even without gun buybacks... Most mass shooters are fairly young so with strict regulations would you effect mass shooter that might be getting a firearm when they are fairly young. Would it effect mass shootings this year? Probably not. How about 10 years from now? Probably more so. Eventually the guns in circulation are going to become less and less. However if you just do NOTHING because of the guns currently in circulation, then we'll never do anything about mass shootings. The Sandy Hook shooting was nearly ten years ago. We would be in a better place today with mass shootings if we decided to DO SOMETHING back then.

  11805.  @Marbles471  Without citing actual examples of the left not caring about victims of crime or a specific policy debate then it sort of becomes a pointless discussion. It comes across as vaguely blaming the left for something with absolutely no avenue to address it or correct it. Similar to how Ana talked about the left somehow "doing something" for disenfranchised young men in the US. It's nothing more than an empty talking point without actual policies. If it is a specific person saying something in favor of crime or callous to a victim, then we can talk about that statement. If it is a specific policy someone is proposing that doesn't make sense then we can discuss that policy. However when TYT suggests that "people on the far left" prefer that murderers and rapist roam around free then all they're doing is creating straw men that serve no purpose other than to smear without giving a chance for anyone to respond to it. I don't see how using your platform to shadowbox against fictional left characters, who may or may not be on Twitter, helps the progressive movement.

But guess what? No one would give a RATS ASS about you, nor putting you in a comercial or interviewing you on TYT if it weren't for what happened back then so you can't expect people not to ask questions about it.

  11828. Again.... I never said I agreed with Huckabee's position. I simply clarified what it actually was. There is a disturbing trend on the internet these days where religion/anti-religion has become just as much of a divide as Republican/Democratic. Somehow you're stuck either defending religion (or your religion) at all costs or you must condemn all religions at all costs. As a lifelong agnostic I simply don't see these absolutes.

  11832. @amaqula "Communism is a dire joyless unatural forced unworkable theory of life." Sounds like Catholicism to me... The Catholic church has had genociide, war, plundering, torture, child molestation, stealing/hording wealth. I'm sure you have all sorts of excuses for it. Every Abrahamic religious fanatic today believes in peace by forcing everyone to follow "their way". The bible rarely meantions "Satan". It's a conflcit created by christians because of their war-like past.

  11835. Actually the constitution does. The president is "Commander In Chief" of the US Armed forces. Congress has the power to declare war on another country, however all military control is under the presidents authority. Which means he could use the military to simply enforce the law if he wanted to.

Googling "insurance companies dropping coverage" Shows me hundreds of articles to the contrary... Also Google: "insurance rescission treatment dies" The number is actually 45K with the new study. What is your answer to fix this problem? Or are 45K americans dying every year not a problem in your mind?

  11839. We had a rich psychopathic Republican president lie us into a war in Iraq, kill hundreds of thousands of civilians, torture, indefinite detention, warrantless wire tapping, huge deficits through tax cuts, and ended on an economic collapse. So what do people do 8 years after that disaster? They elect another rich psychopathic Republican president who lied about a virus and allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to die from a preventable illness, separated children from their families, detained immigrants for months, huge deficits through tax cuts, tried to overthrow the government, and ended on an economic collapse.

  11843. One mistake about mask recommendations OVER A YEAR AGO, doesn't mean we ignore the CDC. I'm sorry, but I have zero empathy for people taking one wrong recommendation as an excuse to ignore science for the rest of their lives. Trump was the "authority" who systematically turned wearing masks into a culture war. Never mind Hydroxychloroquine, injecting disinfectant, and numerous other stupid things that the Right NEVER held Trump accountable for. Yet for some reason we have to keep bringing up what Fauci said about masks14 months ago and pretend it's a legitimate criticism in 2021. Eff off with this nonsense double standard already.... I'm sick and tired of it. It's a false equivalence to equate people being overly cautious to people willfully spreading a virus that ended up killing a million Americans.

  11844. @ggadguy To think that the poor can "accumulate wealth and purchase a home" is just wishful thinking. It's not any kind of plan. That is "doing nothing", typical of those with no idea what it's like growing up poor with little education and opportunity. There's a reason why "projects" were created, they have helped countless people despite what you may "believe" . Are they perfect? An end solution? No, but it's better than doing nothing and wondering why poor people don't just buy a home...

The US would still be compassionate and bail them out if people were suffering. Despite not paying any taxes into the Federal government....

  11850. Sorry Kyle. There is no way of differentiating between himself or Warren without it being an attack... You would have to be painfully naive to not think that it would be an attack. If Sander's nitpicks Warren's vote on one bill, Warren is going to nitpick on Sander's vote on another bill So what will end up happening is that you will have this back and forth on BULLSHIT while the overall policy and substance is lost. We would NOT be having the conversation on Medicare For All, Student Debt, Climate Change, etc. if that was happening right now and the only person who would be benefiting from that would be Biden.... Sander's is 100% correct. When someone agrees with your policies 98% of the time, there's no reason to discuss the 2% when there are 12 other people in the race... If it comes down to Warren and Sanders then that's when they can go after each other. Right now that wouldn't help anyone but Biden.

Are you trying to attribute "gun regultions" to "crime rates"? 3. Again, "crime" is a completely different topic. We are not going to "eliminate crime". 4. The fact remains that 83 times more women die from a gun than are saved by a gun. The numbers clearly show that more available guns DO NOT result in less death.

  11865. Hospitalization effects unvaccinated more than vaccinated, but you're completely exaggerating when you suggest that it is "all unvaccinated". It is not, omicron has led to many hospitalizations among vaccinated as well as vaccinated and boosted. Just look at the data in NY. There is an advantage to those counties that are more vaccinated. But it's a slight bump, not the stark difference you're making it out to be like it was during the early days of Delta. You shouldn't need to exaggerate just to make a point.

  11868. Again... If you're making judgments based on arrests. The fact is most of those arrests are drug related. And the police & FBI has an incentive to demonize drug arrests just like you are doing right now. Sorry, but people caught with pot or DUI (the majority of arrests) do not deserve to be shot dead. Stop making up criminal histories for people you don't even know. The FBI is one of the MANY sources the CDC uses to compile data. Unlike your internet blogs they are not a propaganda outlets

Yet somehow in this movie nothing can be done about flammable gasses, they just let it float around the ventilation system for some reason.

I do teach others, which is why I'm here ;-) Most notions on gov't, captialism, & corruption are simply wrong. The problem is our political discourse is based on opinion instead of science. This makes it easy for politicians to manipulate people with simplistic "gut feel" slogans. Facts don't care if something seems like "victimization"

  11888. There was never any "scientific evolution" when it came to Covid transmission. A lot of people in the media, including yourselves, just made an assumption that the reduction in transmission was the same as the reduction in symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths. The original research on the vaccines never talked about "transmission" because they were only designed to reduce deaths not stop transmission. However it is absolutely idiotic to act as if MSNBC is anywhere close to the blatant lies of Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, etc. Having a bias, opinion, or sensationalizing a story is not the same as knowing the truth and purposely lying to your audience because it gets better ratings when you spread conspiracy theories.

It has been a part of humanity for as long as there has been "monogamy".

The Civil War was one of the bloodiest chapters in our history. If that's your answer, then you're a fool... Leading by threat of violence is exactly what Saddam, Hitler, and every dictator does. Instead of democracy, you're advocating (and romanticizing) the dark ages where people killed to get what they wanted instead of exchanging of ideas.

Yet farmers force themselves into one crop (like citrus) that use lots of water despite being in a desert. If you look at population using non-sustainable methods you will get non-sustainable results. Capitalism also plays it's part.

  11904.  @syphe101  I'm not claiming It's the ONLY reason, but between Iowa and NH that is the obvious contribution to the spike. She has always been a moderate, had the support of the media, attacked buttigieg, and she also came across as honest. The main difference is that she showed that she could attack as well as offer something and show heart. A good candidate requires a variety of attributes to win over voters. The problem with Yang is a lack of experience and lack of presentation skills. Everytime he speaks he comes across as a kid showing his science project. He also relied too much on a UBI which was an unknown and unproven one size fits all answer to every problem. He would have done a lot better if he spent more time speaking on some of his other ideas and having well rounded responses to questions. He was also never good at criticizing or attacking others. I also think Klobuchar & Buttigieg is going to fall apart by SC. Sanders is going to take Nevada with the rest of the moderates in the teens.
    1
  11905.  @syphe101  Also at some point Buttigieg is going to have a marco rubio/chris christie moment (google if if you don't remember). He is all style and no substance, eventually someone is going to poke that paper tiger hard enough to where he's going to break like a pinata. Klobuchar has been doing a pretty good job with it, but so far he's been able to recover. Eventually people will catch onto the fact that there is nothing underneath his fake Obama impression.
    1
  11906.  @KB-sv7fm  According to exit polls Klobuchar's support was mostly moderate with only a slight lean towards conservative. So your assertion doesn't really line up with the facts. The person who got the most conservative support as a percentage of their total vote was Tulsi Gabbard, although it didn't help her much.
    1
  11907.  @KB-sv7fm  The point remains that you didn't present anything to substantiate your argument. Is this the first time she criticised the "far left"? Nope. So she raised her hand, so what? Was there thunderous applause? Was that response indicated by any exit polls? No. However she did get a huge applause after she talked about fighting for people and "knowing" people. There is really nothing "center left" about the Democratic party at least not according to polls and the issues people actually care about. Also these nonsense labels really piss me off to no end.... If you're going to vote based on an effing label as opposed to issues, then you have no business voting. All you're doing is voting based on a brand. Which is exactly why you've had a lot of voters switching between Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar and Joe Biden, because they're not actually looking at issues. They're looking at applause lines and branding. If people cared about issues then Buttigieg wouldn't have the support that he has because he literally says nothing on any topic.
    1
  11908.  @KB-sv7fm  Criticized by who exactly? TV Pundits? If your argument is not based on polls, audience response, or ANYTHING, then I'm sorry you're just making it up. I never said Obama/Hillary weren't moderates. My argument is whether the party is "center left" or not. If you support gay marriage ONLY after a majority of the country supports it or if you still don't support Marijuana legalization after most of the country supports it.. Then you're not "center left", at most you're "center", but more accurately you favor the establishment and status quo... However when you do that for 8 years and don't "lead" or fight or move the needle as fast as people want it to move, then you end up with someone like Trump. Obama was able to get by because he was an amazing politician and orator.. However there were no fundamental issues that the Democratic party could hang their hat on for everyday people.... And as a result they lost dozens of seats. When the Obama brand was gone people latched onto the new exciting "Trump brand" that was going to shake things up. Whereas Clinton represented the same old status quo. We're not going to win people over with glasses of warm milk. Sorry. The reason why Trump won is that Clinton didn't give anyone anything to vote for. It'll be the same with a Biden, Klobuchar, or Buttigeig. There is a reason why Sanders polled far stronger against Trump than Clinton even after she got the nomination and why Trump is on tape admitting he was afraid of running against Sanders.

  11909.  @KB-sv7fm  Yes the economy, Iraq War, and the crimes (torture, war under false pretense, etc.) by the Bush Administration, allowed a black man with a funny name to slip into the white house. However if it weren't for his insane political skills that just wouldn't have happened. The party focused way too much on Obama rather than the issues and although the economy was doing well for some it wasn't doing well for everyone which led to Trump. Economic issues and inequality often correlates to racism as people find it easy to blame their problems immigrants, muslims and other minorities. Which Trump exploited to his benefit. --"Republicans wanted to run against Sanders" Democrats also wanted to run against Trump. Gee, how did that work out? Populism almost always wins despite how crazy you think the other guy "looks". --" yet it was Obama who Republicans called socialist. " Of course they did. Psst, here's a secret.... It doesn't matter how moderate the Democrat is, the Republicans will ALWAYS pretend they are a radical trying to destroy the country... Running a candidate with weak ideas because you're scared of being called "radical" is a position of weakness that will end in failure. You have to run as a populist or at least sound like you are like Obama and Trump did.

  11910.  @KB-sv7fm  Furthermore that Newsweek article is a steaming pile of garbage. It's funny how people want to blame voters instead of the candidate that was running.... Do businesses blame consumers for not buying their product? The fact is Hillary Clinton still remains one of the most unpopular politicians in the country. Meanwhile Bernie Sanders remains the most popular politician following the 2016 election. Yet somehow the establishment Democrats and media go around pretending that the sky is purple and that it's all the problem of those pesky voters. Particularly Bernie Sanders supporters. More Sanders supporters voted for Clinton in 2016 than Clinton supporters voted for Obama in 2008. The difference is that Obama won in 2008 because he was a far better politician and a far more popular candidate. That's the reality. Eventually people are going to need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that the huge growth in popularity of Bernie Sanders is not the fault of voters, but it's the fact that his ideas are resonating with more and more people. Even with a lot of Republicans despite all their cries of "socialism". There is a reason he is out raising everyone with small dollar donations, because his support is REAL. Ignore those ideas at your own peril and lose the presidency. Any business that ignores the growing popularity of product B while constantly selling product A and blames their customers for not buying product A is pretty much doomed to fail. If Clinton was a great candidate than Bernie Sanders would have never gone from 2% to nearly catching up to her in the primaries and she would have won against Trump. If Clinton was a great candidate she would have also won against Obama in 2008. These are the basics of politics, everything else is just noise, and the sky is blue.

  11911.  @KB-sv7fm  Dude, I know exactly what Obama did. I was there... I'm talking about POLITICS, you know.... the conversation we were just having? --"There are ALWAYS some people who are not doing well economically." Which is what Trump exploited to win 2016. Again, this is POLITICS, keep up. The Democratic establishment DID NOT address the problems that were there BEFORE the economic collapse (remember the "occupy" movement started under Obama) and instead of addressing the problems with NAFTA, inequality, etc. they moved onto TPP which also had problems People like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Warren have been speaking to these economic issues. And so did Trump. I literally talk to Republicans every day about how the economy was improving since 2010. What you don't get is that it was NOT ENOUGH for a big chunk of people, particularly in the rust belt where Clinton lost miserably. People like Sander's have been speaking to those people for decades and proposing solutions to those problems. People like Clinton just ran on branding and "kumbaya"... You may not want to hear it, but a lot of people voted for Trump because they thought he was going to do something about trade and manufacturing. And if all you do is talk being "centrist" and being "civil". then we are going to LOSE THE PRESIDENCY AGAIN....

  11912.  @KB-sv7fm  I can handle the truth just fine. People like me were warning about Trump and the fact that Hillary was a weak candidate whereas people like you thought Hillary was a safe bet. We were right, you were wrong. I find it hilarious that people who were unable to read the political winds in 2016 and got it completely wrong magically think they will win using the exact same strategy today. Sure, just blame voters that will totally work right?.... "Free stuff" like roads, parks, public schools, libraries police, fire fighters, miliary, etc. Right? Do you honestly think these empty talking points are really a winning strategy? Are you somehow oblivious to how other countries handle health care? Or Medicaid & Medicare in THIS country for that matter? How do you expect me to take you seriously with that nonsense? 😂 --"Bernie lost in 2016 because blacks and Latinos mostly sided with Hillary. " Hillary won because of decades of name recognition. Not to mention superdelegates, the media, and the overwhelming support by democratic establishment. However if you recall Sanders went from 2% to like 50% support nationally following the debates and went on to become the most popular politician in the country. That should tell you something.... Heaven forbid you look at a poll to see that Sanders has the black and Latino vote TODAY.... Heaven forbid you look at which candidate has the most enthusiasm and support. The longer you stay in that bubble of yours the worse it will be for our country.

  11913.  @KB-sv7fm  Again, I'm not arguing that Trump has been great for the economy. I'm arguing that you are completely clueless to the problems of middle america that have been largely ignored by both parties. And if you stepped off your pedestal for a second you would realize that. And the fact is that manufacturing, like all labor is CHEAPER in Mexico. That is the bottom line to all outsourcing. --" Bernie’s plans would never make it thru Congress." Another winning strategy byt the Democratic establishment: "We can't do anything" . Gee I you wonder why you lost.... Keep with that strategy and see how far it gets you. It's like you still have no idea why Trump won in 2016. Amazing... Winning politicians actually fight for what they believe in. They don't just roll over, give up, and talk about what they can't do. Complain about Trump all you want, he gives the "impression" that he's fighting for something (Wall, trade, etc.), if you don't wake the hell up to that. We're going to lose against him AGAIN. Your attitude is precisely what is dragging down the Democratic party.

  11914. Clearly you don't watch TYT AT ALL... They did expose it. They did talk about it all through the primary. They have been talking about it all year... Here's what you don't get. Hillary Clinton can be establishment and corrupt and still be less corrupt and a far better president than Trump.

They are both irresponsible and given the right circumstances are both capable of accidentally killing someone. So why should Driver A be punished more than Driver B? It's basically criminalizing "luck"

Libertarians say that "use of force" for the greater good is contrary to natural law. Yet here you are arguing that very thing.

  11933.  @michaelreynolds8204  Someone can be racist, homophobic, or bigoted in some cases as well as be a perfectly nice person in different cases. What determines their character is whether they are capable of changing their behavior or perspective in response to someone pointing out something racist, homophobic, or bigoted, or insensitive. If they don't care, then it means they are not a good person. Racism is part of the culture of this country because of our history. You don't need to be white in order to fall victim to racist patterns. Furthermore, doing or saying something racist also doesn't automatically mean you're evil or wearing white robes and lynching black people in the middle of the night. You should make an attempt to understand the conversation and people's arguments before making assumptions and generalizations of all "liberals". Whatever the term "liberal" means in your head.

Sorry but if you go out into the real world you'll see many dedicated teams working very hard towards a common goal. It doesn't mean they will succeed, in fact the odds are they won't. The fact is most startup businesses fail. Working hard certainly increases your chances, but it is by no means a guarantee.

Telling someone they should wear a seatbelt is not empathy.

  11948. 4. Strengthening the economy takes precidence over debt reduction. Huge cuts to spending essentially means laying off lots and lots of workers. Whether private sector workers doing related service work (construction, etc) or federal employees. Laying off hundreds of thousands of people simply means less & less demand for products & services in the private sector which will just extend the slump we're in. Reducing the deficit AFTER we are in an "upswing" makes all the sense in the world.

Even though Bernie Sanders was far better on black & brown issues. Never mind all the white people who supported Trump because of white identity politics. I will NEVER underestimate the ability for people to vote based on stupid reasons. Calling Debra Messing a racist for pointing out the dumb reasons why people vote is going too far IMO. There will always be some segment of the population who will vote based on identity.

  11961. magicwackywacko, it's because every time there is a discussion about the many plot holes in movie (or even the TFA) it usually just devolves into theories and speculations as to how something could possibly work instead of there being sufficient exposition in the movie itself. Fundamentally there is no explanation for why Luke's light saber called out to Rey, or why Luke created clues for people to find him, or why Rey went to Luke in the first place. None of it made sense in the story. All reasons for it are usually people supplementing their own ideas for lack of basic storytelling.
    1
  11962. magicwackywacko I don't engage in flame wars, only discussions. People have a right to their opinions. I have dear friends who enjoyed the movie and it's perfectly fine that they do. I can talk about what I hated and they can talk about what they liked and it's no big deal, it's just a movie. There are some movies that I can enjoy and just watch without worrying about plot holes and character inconsistencies. Like I can watch tthe Fast & Furious and suspend my belief and just enjoy it for what it is. However movies like Star Wars engage my imagination and intellect on a completely different level so when I see inconsistencies and plot holes it just takes me out of the moment for a movie franchise that I have such reverence for. I think that's the case for a lot of people. Yes the director change left us with an absolute mess. It's clear that there isn't any cohesive direction and Rian Johnson just dismantled everything that Abrams had built. So at the end of the day you really have nothing to look forward to for Episode 9. Typically in a trilogy like the Original Star Wars trilogy, or the prequels, or Lord of the Rings, at this point the audience has grown with the characters and everyone is looking forward to the final showdown/development of the story. With this new trilogy there really isn't anything to look forward to in Episode 9.... Rey has already confronted Kylo twice now, Snoke is dead, Luke is dead, Leia might as well be dead, Akabar is dead, the rebellion is just a handful of people and apparently the rest of the galaxy doesn't care about them, the kids are still slaves on Canto. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look forward to in Episode 9.... Another Rey and Kylo encounter? What is there to really care about? Also everything that Luke went through in the original trilogy was apparently for nothing.... So maybe the First Order should just rule the galaxy? Apparently the only people who care are a handful of "rebels" and one Stormtrooper who defected. No one else seems to really care. Even Luke didn't care. He just showed up to send his hologram to say goodbye and then die alone on his Island like he wanted to.

Even in the 1918 flu pandemic people wore masks. This isn't a new concept. A lot of people were concerned about mask shortages for healthcare workers in the beginning. Then later on people saw that cloth masks can be just as a effective.

It's truly fascinating how racists automatically want to believe that everyone else is also racist in order to legitimize their own views. Classic projection. Again, most normal people aren't ignorant enough to think that half of black people doesn't agree with the existence of white people.... It takes a certain kind of degenerate/messed up mind to actually think that way.

  11980.  @knowledgeablebro6970  And what would make you think that close to half of all black people in America would not be ok with someone being white? This has nothing to do with the poll, because we've already established that the poll never said that. However I'm curious as to why anyone would misinterpret a poll so badly as to automatically believe something that crazy. I mean do you think that half of Asians in America are not okay with other races? what about Latin people? Why in a country with several recent shootings from white supremacists as well as regular open demonstrations/protests by neo nazis and various white supremacists groups would you think it was black people who were the ones against other races? Logically it is a very weird to think that way. In the case of Scott Adams, it obviously comes from racism. In your case I have no idea.

From the article they still DON'T KNOW who committed the acts, even after putting up security cameras. So how does punitive damage solve anything? It would be one thing if the person was reported and the company did nothing, but is it the company's fault for the actions or one or two bad employees that never got caught?

Your arguments for why the death penalty should be deterrent against crime are just as weak as the arguments conservatives make on why they think torture should work. In either case there is no evidence for it. Although the US kills people for emotional satisfaction we still have one of the highest rates of homicide in the world. Vengence is empty satisfaction.

  11989. Your idea of Karl Marx is cartoonish at best... Somehow you believe he was against democracy? Wow... He in fact thought democracy was the road to socialism. "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" refers to a *democratic* system (most people are "workers"... get it?) "Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie" refers to an oligarchy or corporatism. All the Scandinavian countries have large thriving socialist parties based in Marxism. Your knee jerk reaction is just based on nonsense from the Cold War.

  11990. If you think that a hurricane can hit Alabama and North Carolina at the same time then you have severe mental deficiencies. Katrina was a totally different trajectory.....Duh. Also let's not pretend that it's okay for a president to warn an entire state about danger before checking with any experts. btw a terrorist attack is imminent near your home... oh wait, maybe not...

  11991.  @bigfatbruce  Perhaps, but not necessarily. Viruses mutate in immunocompromised people, because they live inside the person's body for a long period of time. The working theory was that the latest variant came from someone with HIV. If you're immunocompromised a vaccine may not do anything for you to begin with. So you can just as easily say that the viruses have a better chance to mutate in countries with high rates of HIV and since the vaccines don't stop transmission of the coronavirus, you could have the same situation regardless.

  11994. @droidclone Social Security and Medicare are the two most successful programs in this country's history. It took many seniors out of poverty and lifted the middle class during the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Secondly tax collections as a percentage of GDP is the lowest in 60 years. If you LOOK AT THE DATA you would see the main contribution to the deficit are the Bush Tax Cuts. They've been borrowing (STEALING) from social security to PAY FOR WAR while CUTTING taxes for the wealthy don't you get it?
    1
  11995. @megagagnon1 That's not how it works at all.... Corporate taxes are NOT expenses they are taken from profits, expenses are in fact "tax deductable". Personal income taxes are taxed against your salary. Say for example the income tax is 80% for salaries over 500K and I run the company that had crazy profits last year. A huge personal bonus would just get taxed so I have more incentive to keep that profit *in my business* (expansion, capial expenditures, jobs, etc) as deductable expenses.

Is she going to start a worldwide trend where kids everywhere start holding perfume in their crotches? And if so... WHO CARES? Obviously the ad isn't for YOU. So what difference does it make wheher you like it or not? This is yet another example of "I feel uncomfortable by it so let me ban it". It is NO DIFFERENT than the irrational reasons people give for banning gay marriage.

  11998. For me it's Delaney and Klobuchar just for how unapologetically politically dimwitted they are. They're wrong on the issues and the country is not with them and yet somehow they feel entitled to be right and feel like the public is stupid for not being happy with a moderate and taking half-measures.

  11999. No you missed the point... The "addition parradox" tries to make a point on morality it has absolutely nothing to do with what we were talking about. It doesn't somehow say "It is impossible to make a population better off". It would be just as silly as thinking there was no point in ending slavery because no one would be better off or happier. legal & illegal Immigration is something like 0.1% and by no means 'magically adds' a large group of people. It's also a completely unrelated topic.

  12004. How is it not different than providing a product? I understand that we don't want to think of our children as "things", but what in this situation is really that different? The law in Canada seems entirely reasonable. If the surrogate delivers a defective child and the couple doesn't want it then she either has to keep the child or abort the child. Assuming that the defect is not based on any neglagance I would also expect the couple to pay for the pregnancy expenses up to that point.

  12006. 13:05 "Dr. Fauci was wrong every step of the way". And your only example of this claim is that he said that you don't need to wear masks 3 years ago... Then corrected himself a couple months later. I've got all sorts of problems with Fauci, but to adopt right wing conspiracy nonsense is kind of gross. No one on the entire planet was 100% correct about the pandemic. The idea that we need to grab pitchforks and demonize people who occasionally make bad decisions is so effing dumb. It is an ugly part of our politics. I'll demonize people with bad/selfish intentions, but I'm not going to demonize people for trying to do the right thing but were simply wrong on occasion.

  12009.  @wyssmaster  Again, poverty + population density. Yes a group of people in the middle of nowhere in Montana is not going to commit much crime, just a like a tribe in the middle of rural Kenya is not. Everywhere in the world where you have densely populated poor people, you have high levels of crime. Can you find exceptions to that? Probably, but those exceptions would be extremely rare. And it's funny how AJW was shown several examples where police staffing levels, funding levels, and incarceration rates did not correlate and he immediately shifted to something else.

  12010.  @wyssmaster  It's only racist if you're making a racist point. Yes you only prove that when confronted with actual data AJW resorts to making things up about "quality of officers".

How are you measuring "softness" 😂 I like how people make things up in their minds and act like it's an real argument.

  12011. But you can't expect a really competent CEO to apply for a job that pays a fraction of the normal salary. Why would they? Cenk says "let em go" but doesn't that just mean no qualified CEO will work there and the company will fail... If they let that happen then what was the point of bailing them out in the first place? The president earns 400k, just because Bush ran the country into the ground for the last 8 years didn't change that fact..

  12013. @megagagnon1 Good. Then also understand the enourmous amount of money spent on propoganda to make people think they are supporting small businesses but are only supporting those at the top. The GOP is notorious for making this claim when in fact they're only supporting campaign contributors, and bought Democrats go right along with it. "busting unions" is also part of this stategy. Healthcare Reform, Financing, infrastructure, and competition laws are things that really help small business.

  12014. The problem is that many times these people will sound reasonable, but really are not. Someone who voted for Trump can be turned around, but at this point anyone who is going to a Trump rally wearing MAGA hats and Trump shirts is probably too far gone. These people have seen what Trump has been about for over a year and half. they see him lie to their face every single day, and they are STILL supporting him AND trying to get them reelected... Sorry Kyle, but most of these people are PRETENDING to be rational at this point. They're going to Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro to affirm their beliefs not to question them.

  12015. @droidclone I didn't assume anything. I simply responded to your claim that the government doesn't do anything for the public health. When it obviously does a GREAT DEAL to protect the public health. Any examples of countries that stopped diseases on their own? Doubt it. Yet the US has saved millions of lives around the world with its research. What "investigators" are you talking about? Libertarians are like teenagers taking for granted the previledges they have living in this society.
    1
  12016. No, effective government is effective government. There is no litmus test based on your ideology. It's pretty obvious what "effectiveness" is when you look at indicators like health, poverty, inequality, and even polling data. Google: "Good Government vs. Less Government" However when you sit in an ideological corner. Reality becomes meaningless. Until governance becomes less about random uninformed opinions and more about research & analyzing results we will continue to have problems.

  12017. Sorry, but sitting around saying that Obamacare sucks and isn't good enough, doesn't help anything politically. The vast majority of the American public isn't savvy enough to digest a long speech about the nuances of healthcare. The reason why Republicans keep winning is that they're able to distill things down into good/bad. Meanwhile you're having a 20-minute conversation about details most people aren't going to actually care about. As soon as you say, "we can make a legal argument", you're giving the republicans all the talking points they'll need to not only slap down an expansion of Obamacare but elect a bunch of Republicans that will dismantle what little healthcare improvements we have.

  12018. Rand Paul is a Joke... He famously spoke out against Solyndra's *loan* yet makes excuses for the BILLIONS handed out in Oil subsidiesl.

  12019. Has the GOP never heard of the book "The Jungle" and how horrified people where when they learned the truth about how meat was handled in the meat packing industry? These people need to WAKE THE FUCK UP from the clowns and funny characters in corporate advertising and realize that businesses are not your friend. They are only interested in making money. Unless you want rat feces in your burgers I suggest you support basic government regulations instead of relying on the "free market fairy".

  12020. Sorry, but I'll hold out for another 10 years before deciding whether lab grown meat is "healthier" or not. Very few food product that have come out of lab have been deemed "healthier" in the long run, alternative sugars, fats/oils, various GMOs, factory farming and agriculture. There is also a question as to whether it is actually better for the environment at scale... That said banning something before it can even hit the market is ridiculous. However there are lots of ways of creating meat and protein sources today that are better for the environment than what we are doing.
    1
  12021.  @Atmost11  The reason beef and pork are as harmful to the environment as they are is because they're grown unsustainably for profit and to keep the costs low, especially when things like corn is heavily subsidized and not even what cows should be eating. The fact is at one point there were as many if not more bison in this country than there are cows today. Boar are considered pest in certain parts of the country and are simply killed for being nuisance. Animals like goats and rabbits are also FAR more sustainable even with current production methods. Even industrial agriculture has serious issues. Most of it can't be sustained without lots of oil. As a culture we have to approach sustainability across the board and create ecosystems instead of factories for our food.
    1
  12022.  @Atmost11  As far as the US. 28 million beef cows and 9 million dairy cows. Also, keep in mind that bison are twice the size of a cow. They're the largest mammal in North America.
    1
  12023.  @Atmost11  I cited the first numbers that came up when I searched. Regardless, like I said bison are twice the size of cows. So even if you take those numbers at face value. Pound for pound it's still less than Bison.
    1
  12024.  @Atmost11  That's my point. Cows are supposed to eat grass, no different than Bison. I eat grass fed and finished meat all the time. It's healthier, more nutritious, and maintaining pastures absorbs CO2. Palatability is not the issue, profitability is.
    1
  12025.  @Atmost11  No I simply consume beef & bison and many other meat products like rabbits and goats, that are raised more sustainably. And I know the people who raise it (except for the bison).
    1
  12026.  @Atmost11  I suggest watching the documentary A Farm for a Future which can be watched here and other places for free. You can't fix the problem by pointing fingers at a few scapegoats like Beef & Dairy, the problem is the market driven system itself all throughout our food production.
    1
  12027.  @Atmost11  You're still focusing on cattle when my suggestion has always been to use a variety of meats. An "ecosystem" is not millions of one kind of animal or billions of one kind of plant. Monocrops have also caused many ecological disasters in the past. The way we grow and transport food has never been natural or sustainable. This should not be based on what "sells well" today, but what variety we can bring to our people and lands.
    1
  12028.  @Atmost11  I don't understand how you believe I'm being theoretical or "waving magic wands", when reality doesn't fit what you want either... It doesn't fit what either of us want. Yet somehow you're pretending as if you're being more practical when you haven't actually proposed any solutions, let alone anything practical. Saying "beef is bad" for XYZ reasons, is not actually a solution to anything nor anything that we haven't known for decades. Whereas sustainable farming practices have in fact been growing even without the support that is sorely needed. So you need to take a step back and spare me the sanctimony.
    1
  12029.  @Atmost11  I'm annoyed because someone who hasn't presented any solutions of their own is suddenly telling me what my "pretense" and "motivations" are when all I've done is answered your questions. It's clear you have some agenda that doesn't involve presenting an actual argument in good faith and If you're not here to present anything then you're simply wasting my time with nonsense. The documentary is a BBC documentary. It's a 45 minute video that comes up immediately when you search for it on google. The first 3 out of 4 videos are the documentary. So I have no idea why you're having trouble finding it.
    1
  12030.  @Atmost11  I am not mad... All you were doing is pointing out a problem we've known about for decades, while offering nothing to fix it... That was annoying. Wagging your finger at a problem is the equivalent of waving a magic wand and hoping something will get done. Whereas sustainable farming practices, alternative meats (goats, rabbits, elk, venison, insects, etc.), and the local food movement, are actually things that can be done today to lesson the reliance on fossil fuels while offering more choices on the market. Which reduces the reliance on one of the factory farming practices causing more problems. But it is one factory farming practice out of many across the board. It is the equivalent of fixing a big hole in a sinking ship with a smaller one.
    1
  12031.  @Atmost11  I wouldn't know the "amount", because it varies according to the place and the techniques involved. You're still thinking in terms of factories... And factories are the problem. it is a matter of incentivizing the sustainable processes and removing the unsustainable ones. The "amount" comes from that. Also, as I've said repeatedly... It's also about creating alternatives on the market. There are lots of different types of meat much more sustainable than beef, but these choices are ever offered. People are also animals that are part of the ecosystem. It's not just "beef" it's all food production and if you're only focused on "beef" and nothing else then you aren't serious.
    1
  12032.  @Atmost11  It seems like you haven't actually learned anything from the conversation. Factory farming is not sustainable, it is very reason cows take up so many "resources" to begin with. If you haven't even learned that much then I don't know what else to say really. Also if all you got from that documentary is "robots" then you didn't really watch it. If we were to talk about incandescent light bulbs and how much energy they use and your solution is just to repeat "less lights" even after we talk about LEDs, florescent, etc. and many other ways of lighting that use a fraction of the energy. Then you're not actually having a thoughtful conversation, you're just repeating a mantra. Also it's a complete waste of time to repeat this mantra without having a solution for it.

  12033.  @danedwards6094  Movies like Robo Cop, Judge Dredd, Minority Report, etc. warned about dystopian societies where cops judge and kill people on the street. Now we have people today welcoming it. It's okay to kill people who might be unruly as long as it's not anyone you know right?
    1
  12034. Cenk, the difference is obvious... Conservatives are talking about "morality" whereas WBC is talking about the "wrath of god" Conservatives believe that morality only comes from the bible. So what they're saying is that since schools don't teach morality (ie "god's teachings") then kids become armoral therefore more likely to commit things like mass murder. It's a completely stupid argument, however you should at least understand it before believing it has anything to do with "god's wrath".

  12036.  Mauris  --"Capitalists by definition cannot benefit fro socialism in their country as then they would not own the means of production." Sorry, but that makes ZERO sense. You're saying that a retail shop doesn't benefit from roads? Police? Sidewalks? Stable power grids? A restaurant doesn't benefit from clean water reservoirs? A dispute between businesses doesn't benefit from courts? --"Not socialism. Socialism is where the people own the means of production." Which are things like city planning, roads, police, military, water processing plants, power grids, middle schools, high schools. Does it only count as "socialism" in your mind when it's not things you grew up with? --"Romans had roads, you'd be hard pressed to find any leftist thinker who'd call them socialists." You would be hard pressed to find someone on the left who would use dumb reductive blanket statements. Romans practiced some forms of socialism just like all governments do. They weren't just a band of roaming nomads doing nothing but trading with one another. --"Hell, pretty sure plenty of people in the left dislike police, no?" Plenty of people on the left dislike the president to, that doesn't mean we want to eliminate the executive branch.... No one wants to eliminate the police, just FIX the system. Sheesh, why is that difficult to understand? Do you somehow think we want no police? 😂

Do you think this country would have eliminated illiteracy if it weren't for public schools? You guys are like teenagers with absolutely no clue of what it took to put a roof over your head.

  12042. @starcatcher2222 "Ethnic cleansing of Jews"? based on what?. You realize "Israel" was also made up. The people there are no were near indigenous to that area unlike the Palestinians. The Israeli preoccupation with "jewish purity" is what is feuling this conflct. If there wasn't this apartheid mentality based on mythical stories (religion) the Israeli/Palestinian conflict would have been over a long time ago. Beyond that this is about money and control of that region by US/Iraeli interests.

  12046. To be fair Cenk, that's not what Huckabee was saying at all... He was making the argument that if the schools and society taught "morality" then children would be more "moral" and would be less likely to go on a shooting spree. Not to say that it is a valid argument and I would certainly say it's less about morality and more about mental health. However Cenk, your tirade completely misrepresents what he said. It's not productive to have a Pavlovian response anytime religion is mentioned.

  12049. @ggadguy First a "representative democracy" IS a "republic" which is different than a "direct democracy". Don't correct me without first understanding those terms. Second whether you're anti-corporation or not is irrelevant. It doesn't invalidate the fact that a small govt can be just as corrupting as a big one. The idea that crippling govt makes it less corrupt is nothing more than dogma. In reality the same policiies to cripple govt can also go to support a corporatocracy and plutacracy.

Get this jab once, especially if you're older, and then get back into society and let your immune system take over with the variants in circulation. If you've already recovered from Covid then it is basically the same or better than if you got vaccinated. However the idea that you get boosted constantly every 6 months or less just seemed insane to me. It was obviously not based on anything other than milking more money from the American people. The fact that people got into tribal camps of "vaccines are evil" or "vaccines are like vitamins" because of nothing other than politics is sad.
    1
  12054.  @richietattersall2122  Because there have been many studies since the beginning of the virus that show that people who were infected are still generating antibodies. Even studies showing that people's bone marrow will continue to generate antibodies which results in long term immunity. Keep in mind that people who have had Covid are still donating their plasma to help patients in hospitals. This is not new and has been going on since the beginning of the pandemic... Whereas the vaccines, which have existed for far less time than the disease, are starting to show diminishing effectiveness against the virus, especially with the variants. Which is why countries like Israel are recommending booster shots.

  12070.  @anthonycalce8223  I KNOW, just like we give tons of federal money for immigration, border patrol, border infrastructure, housing facilities, immigration judges, never mind ICE and homeland security. All of these things come out of the federal budget. Not from the states. So I don't get what point Cenk was trying to make at all. It was vague and nonsensical.
    1
  12071.  @neilmarshall5087  "The point of this video"? You're not making much sense.
    1
  12072.  @anthonycalce8223  Let me repeat, cause apparently you have comprehension issues. What was vague and nonsensical was pretending as if handling the border is somehow state issue when border control, immigration, migrant detention facilities, etc. are all paid for and managed by the federal government. Also, CA also shares a border with Mexico. It's not like a blue state or blue cities don't deal with immigration. Furthermore I might like the idea of having a pool, but if someone just stole water from an Olympic pool and dumped it in my backyard without any notice, then it's a completely different situation.
    1
  12073.  @anthonycalce8223  I never said anything about any situation being ideal. However in order to start dealing with the problem, you first need to understand that the source of immigration problem was never "the border". The border is only where you see other problems manifested. 1. End the drug war. A lot of these people are fleeing violence created by the cartels that we support because of the illegal drug market. No different than the powerful gangs created during prohibition. Because of the lucrative US market we made these cartels more powerful than governments. 2. Work with these countries to repair their economies instead of exploiting them. We literally put billions of dollars into fighting wars overseas daily, and do very little to support our own neighbors. 3. Create a process for citizenship for those who have already been here for years and contribute to this country's economy. 4. The reality is there are hundreds of thousands of businesses in this country that rely on undocumented labor. Which is why FL is freaking out now that immigrants are starting to leave. Literally the price of food, construction, etc. would skyrocket and many businesses would shut down if they could not use undocumented labor... So unless you fix that dynamic and make it easy for farms, construction, etc. to use high paid labor, there will always be an incentive for businesses to hire them and migrant workers to come here.

  12074.  @neilmarshall5087  Okay I guess you don't have an actual argument then.
    1
  12075.  @anthonycalce8223  I did with #3.... No one wants to be "illegal". They don't have a choice because they have no path to citizenship or they're afraid of leaving because they'll be caught at the border with the increased security, or they're afraid that they won't be able to cross again because they have family, etc. in the US. If you provide basic incentives for people to do the right thing, most people will try to do the right thing. If you don't, then people will will do whatever they have to do in order to survive. If you just demonize them then they will go into hiding, not cooperate with police, etc. 886 billion dollar pentagon budget plus 75 billion to Ukraine, plus billions to Israel, plus billions more for Japan, south Korea, etc. to check North Korea. You could easily argue that the US spends billions daily on war and miliary power abroad. Even without Afghanistan/Iraq.
    1
  12076.  @anthonycalce8223  You're not going to be able to prove exactly when people got here anyway... The point is to create a policy that works for most people and most issues that exist. Then put the right incentives in place so that it gets better over time, instead of worse. If all this was in place 5 years ago, we would be in a completely different situation today. Instead we put billions towards the border. detention, facilities, etc. which is like using an expensive band-aid for a gunshot wound, it doesn't fix anything in the long run when airplanes, tunnels, and ladders exist. And there's always going to be people who fall through the cracks regardless. There isn't a country on earth that doesn't have ongoing immigration issues unless it's a country people are escaping from due to war, disasters, etc.

  12077. 3. No it didn't "hurt those markets growth". You seem to have a view of economics that comes from opinion based political narratives rather than facts. China has grown fast due to globalization, foreign investment, & privatization, but it also spent like crazy investing in that growth & focusing on specific industries. In fact China had their own stimulus in 2008 to fight the recession we created. Our stimulus was mostly tax cuts. China's stimulus was all infrastructure building & it WORKED

  12078. Once again.. There hasn't been a mass shooting after the laws in Austrailian were inacted. Your premise is flawed because overall CRIME is not the question here. Mass shootings are rare and 10 people dying at once is a drop in the bucket to overall homicides in a year. So It is not far fetched to say many of those kids would be alive if we inacted those same laws. Secondly you're WRONG. 2007 was a record low in Austrailia for homicides and homicides with a firearm are half of what they were.

  12080. @ggadguy Sticking with your constant dogma of "the government mostly does bad things" Severly limits your thinking. For one thing what Monopoly are you talking about? There were several railroad companies all around the country. Yes they were big companies, because mom and pop shops aren't exacly going to be able to build a railroad system.... Secondly monopolies form naturally all the time. Just Wiki the very definition. Examples: Standard Oil, Apple/iPod, Microsoft, NFL, MLB, etc.

  12081. What difference does it make how you were raised? The fact is you're cheerleading now. If you discussed ideas, facts, and logic rather than meaningless labels then perhaps things would be different. Do you seriously think all black people blindly follow MLK like a god or something? Respecting a person's ideas doesn't mean you follow everything about them. I'm also not a fan of church or religion, so I suspect there would be quite a few things we would disagree on.

  12083. So I assume you're even even more upset about the all the KILLINGS that have happened in the past year from people motivated by right wing ideology. I assume you were just as concerned with the guy mailing bombs to people or the people planning mass shootings. I assume you were disgusted that Trump pulled funding from domestic terrorism prevention efforts and canceled the grant to a group countering violent extremism from white supremacist groups. I assume you also care about the attacks against gays, transsexuals, minorities, etc. that have left them hospitalized. The violence against trans-people is currently an epidemic an a dozen people have already been murdered this year. If you're not even more upset by these cases you can spare me your righteous indignation.

  12084. 1. I never said that "Communism" would be an ideal goal. I just said that the philosophical ideal never existed. Historically all we've had were "dictatorships" and "state run capitalism" -" non-aggression axiom" 2. A society based on competition IS a society based on aggression... Competition brings out the "warrior" side of our nature. In a war based economy people will lie, cheat, form coalitions (Trusts/Monopolies), steal and kill just to thrive. There will ALWAYS be losers in war.

  12085. The Republican party tried to ban Muslims and brown immigrants. NOW you're complaining about Xenophobia because a composer isn't being played? Get back to me when Russians are being targeted for violence like many other minority groups have been in this country. Yes, of course all Russians are not to blame for the insanity of their leader, but there are far worse things in the world than not playing some music during a war.

  12086. The fact is we are all self sacrificing employees of various corporations. Which most of us are dependent upon to survive. I would rather have democratic goverment creating a stable, safe, healthy environment for everyone rather than dependence on a Oligarchy. Before democracy that's exactly what we had... It was called SERFDOM, then indentured servatude, then slavory. I prefer democracy to a land of slaves brainwashed by marketing all dreaming about becoming Bill Gates one day,

  12087. Yes Cenk COMPETITION works, but so does COOPERATION and group support. In this study there was no "cooperation incentive" was there? Our government was formed based on COOPERATION, but what is currently tearing it apart? The COMPETITIVE forces of partisianship, COMPETING ideologies, and the COMPETING capitalistic forces of corporations and individuals trying to grab the biggest slice of the pie for themselves regardless of others. There is a huge dark side to opening that pandora's box.

  12088. 1. Sorry, but a currency that can lose half it's value in a day (or hour) is not a replacement for anything. It's simply another market to gamble with. Like all financial instruments it also has no value other than it's relationship to US dollars. The value of bitcoin is based on perceived value, no different than any other security (stocks, commodities, derivatives, etc.). There are no "competing currencies" that's a lie. 2. Progressives have talked about ending the drug war for decades.

It's a strange kind of derangement.

  12096. It's not about one person of a given race killing another person of a given race. If you're thinking in those terms then you simply don't understand the subject. It's about how the system responds to incedent not the incedent itself. That's what "structural" or "institutional" or "systemic" racism means. There are many studies showing clear instutional racism or *bias* in the system when it comes to prison sentences. You can easily find these studies online.

My concern is for the health of our democracy and when you have millions voting purely on ideology, or "feelings" instead of facts then special interests and corporations use those emotions to influence to push an agenda. I don't have a gut reaction to "big government" or "small government". To me they are empty catch phrases or advertising slogans that distract from real policy.

  12101. I have no idea what you're referring to, but believe it or not people who aren't "blind ideologues that follow a single train of thought" can like certain policies at certain times and dislike certain policies at other times regardless of who is making those policies. The fact is there were many factors that lead to the breadth and depth of the collapse. Those who advocated deregulation of the financial markets (Greenspan, Phill Grahm, etc.) contributed to the depth of the collapse.

  12107. It bothers me that we would have to change the reality of the world because of your anxieties... The reality is that this country was founded on hundreds of years of slavery, segregation, and discrimination in order to favor white people over black people. That cultural bias hasn’t magically gone away and white privilege will be around for a long time. Especially when people try to ignore the phenomena in order to feel better about themselves. Stop looking at white privileged as a personal attack on you. It has always been an attack on our culture and not individuals. White, black, brown, Asian people can all be more favorable and forgiving towards white people than they would be to other races. We are constantly bombarded through our media to see heroes, beauty standards, intellectuals depicted as white individuals. Pretending it doesn’t exist for a video doesn’t mean that millions of people don’t have to deal with it every day,

Thomas Paine (a liberal) spoke strongly against slavory. Furthermore you need to educate yourself on the history of politics in this country. Everyone knows that modern day Democrats and Republicans are nowhere near the same as during Lincoln's time. Google the "Southern Strategy". There is a reason why Republicans/Demoocrats switched North/Sourth.

It's easy to demonize something as "the other" when you don't fully understand it. This is exactly who propoganda works. Whether it is blacks, muslims, jews, etc. People always look for some group to point fingers at and demonize. It is intellectually lazy, because you react out of fear and ignorance instead of actually trying to understand what the problem is.

  12116. At some point we'll need to seriously look at some form of Resource Based Economy... Disincentivizing companies from automating and forcing people to work or giving people monopoly money so they can still participate in the game they lost is simply propping up a seriously flawed system. Capitalism has never really "worked", it was simply better than the alternatives. The automation and AI dilemmas that plague capitalism can also worked towards creating better economic systems that don't rely on winners and losers.

  12119. @Bryant Nelson. I am less likely to believe someone who has lied at least twice under oath before and has a pretty big incentive to lie now. Meanwhile Dr. Ford is risking her career and her life by coming forward with absolutely zero to gain. Only 2% of rape accusations are false, which means 98% percent are true. Based on the facts and basic reasoning, Dr. Ford is far more likely to be telling the truth than Kavanaugh. Stop pretending you care about reason and evidence when the only thing driving you is blind partisan bullshit with a dash of misogyny thrown in there because in your mind women casually lie about rape even though the statistics show that is not the case at all.

  12120. Grenades, Nuclear weapons, Chemical weapons, Rocket launchers, are also inaminate objects but there's a reason why we limit and regulate those things. I also find it disturbing that many of the same people who supported closing down governent mental institutions, scoff at single payer healthcare systems, treating drugs as a health issue instead of a criminal ussue, defund education, ignore income inequality, suddenly start believing in "social welfare" when the topic of gun regulations come up.

Technology today gives us far better ways of communicating, managing labor & resources than 200 years ago. So why rely on structures that may be outdated?

  12131. Public IP addresses are in fact public.

  12132.  @tamaraspencer4024  I'm not sure if there are any regulations about public IP addresses and timestamps. Internet providers track IP addresses all the time in order to enforce copyrights on people downloading movies and TV shows. Social media companies like Facebook and probably even YouTube will sell the data of you accessing their platform which also contains IP addresses. There are restrictions on personal information like names, phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, etc., but I'm pretty sure there isn't any specific protections on internet traffic activity.
    1
  12133.  @tamaraspencer4024  Clearly you're not either if you don't realize that YouTube is tracking the activity of you IP address and selling it to other people.

  12134.  @tamaraspencer4024  There are no laws against people sharing things they have access to at work. You'll probably get fired, but there is no law against it. Also "cyber security" has nothing to do with this. Something you would know if you were "certified in cyber security". So, you can spare me your fake credentials.

  12135.  @HazeOfWhearyWater  And? Server logs that the dude in question had access to. What's your point? What do you think Facebook and Google/You Tube does with all the activity from you that they log?
    1
  12136.  @Kehvan  Yeah like GDPR which doesn't apply here. Again, this isn't "personal data". When social media companies sell your data, they can also include public IP addresses. Which again, is not personal data.
    1
  12137.  @Kehvan  So you honestly believe that you sign a TOS for all data that is sold? Did you sign a TOS when you last used Google? 😂 Again, there is no such thing for public IP addresses. There are only specific regulations for certain types of data (personal data, video, media involving children, etc.). Logging traffic is not one of them. I have no idea what "false police report" you're referring to.
    1
  12138.  @HazeOfWhearyWater  No these were DNS servers that Trump's servers were *accessing*, the activity of which was logged by those DNS servers. Not much different than the activity that is logged by Google when you look up something.
    1
  12139.  @HazeOfWhearyWater  And? Google, Facebook, and everyone else regularly sells data logged on their servers that isn't publicly available.
    1
  12140.  @HazeOfWhearyWater  You seem to not understand how technology works. Google doesn't have access to Trump's servers, but if Trump's servers, or your phone, or your laptop, accessed Google, then Google would have access to the public IP address and timestamp that you used to access that server. Just like these DNS servers don't' have "access" to Trump's servers, but anytime Trump's servers made a request through them they would have their IP address logged.
    1
  12141.  @soulcapitalist6204  Again.... They didn't have access to a DNS cache on Trump's network or Trump's server, they had access to a DNS server that Trump's servers were connecting to outside their network

  12142.  @matthewrose8002  Just like no one has records and logs from Google, YouTube, or Facebook, but social media platforms still sell this data nonetheless. The fact that information is restricted doesn't mean anything was hacked or that laws were broken. Otherwise, an entire field of corporate espionage wouldn't exist.
    1
  12143.  @matthewrose8002  I'm amazed how little people know about the actual story. Trump was not president at the time. The fact that people don't know that much, shows how easily Fox spreads lies and misinformation.

  12144.  @soulcapitalist6204  The fact that people don't know that this was before Trump was even president is amazing to me. What "national security information" are you referring to?
    1
  12145.  @soulcapitalist6204  Again. Obama was president at the time. Trump was a presidential candidate. The DNS servers in question were owned by a private Virginia based company called Neustar. Someone paid money to figure out that The Trump organizations servers were pinging servers at a Russian bank based on public IPs that were logged at Neustar. You can figure this out based on IP address. That doesn't give you access to the content transmitted. It just tells you that Sever A was connecting to Server B. The reason that no one was arrested is because this is basic opposition research/corporate espionage. It is legal to take records from a private company that you're working for. It might be unethical, but it is not illegal.
    1
  12146.  @soulcapitalist6204  Again, no one accessed "3rd party data". It was their own logs from a from a private company that Trump Tower used for DNS services. This is not hacking. It's no different than a YouTube employee access YouTube logs of me talking to you. Which would also include the IP addresses of my laptop/network as well as the IP address of whatever device you're communicating on. If a YouTube employee forwarded those logs to someone else that isn't the same as someone "hacking" or accessing my laptop. I've explained this several times now.
    1
  12147.  @soulcapitalist6204  And yet social media companies sell your data all the time, which includes your IP address. So your issue is with internet laws. The only thing they can't sell is identifiable information like name, address, credit card numbers, etc. However, everything else is fair game.

  12148. ​ @soulcapitalist6204  Again, "no one accessed a protected computer". If you don't understand how technology works, please reread my comments.

  12149.  @soulcapitalist6204  Christ dude, if you don't understand what you're reading then stop arguing from ignorance. "Non-public" means the logs from the DNS company where the dude worked and the information, he had access to. It does not mean accessing or "hacking" Trump's servers.

  12150. I've sent you 10 peer reviewed studies all looking at guns in relation to homicides (& other deaths) in this country & across many countries. You haven't produced a single one... All you have are blogs & anecdotes you sadly think is "evidence". Sorry, Switzerland is a single exception with MANY factors (strict regulations, culture, etc.) If you think one outlier proves a rule then you seriously need to educate yourself. It's no contradiction when you actually understand how "science" works.

  12151. Trump goes from talking against the Iraq war, to saying we should kill the families of insurgence. He also went from constantly antagonizing Kim Jung Un and threatening to bomb the country, to "falling in love".

  12152. @elfornse You want me to seriously respond to ridiculous hyperbole? I'm suggesting that : 1. A progressive tax code, which pretty much every industrialized nation in the world implements, makes perfect sense. 2. Social programs that stabilize, solidify, and GROW a middle class also make perfect sense. China's economy has doubled in the past 5 years is because of the tremendous growth of their middle class. If this trend continues their economy will *easily* surpass ours within a decade.

  12153. 1. There is a difference between a large government and an authoritarian government. The USSR and China under Mao where authoritarian regimes. I could give you a dozen capitalistic authoritarian governments. It's a nonsense argument. "effective government" is not about arbitrary "sizes" 2. Again, the "free market" is a myth. You might as well talk about Angels and Unicorns. Speak in REAL terms not subjective concepts. Science is a far better method to truth than one's gut feeling.

  12154. THINK before you JUDGE. *This* is the problem with journalism in this country... 1. I don't believe she ever CLAIMED the Flu shot CAUSED her problems. Just that it was a possibility. This was something HYPED by the reporters. 2. It's not like she tried to HIDE the fact that she was better. They didn't catch her at home. SHE WAS OUT shopping. 3. Her biggest problem was WALKING SIDEWAYS so it's not surprising that she would still display symptoms WALKING SIDEWAYS between cars.

  12156. Get Real.... Why are you having this discussion about Jerry Sandusky when Bush and Cheney were responsible for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths? Yeah child molestation is bad, but what about all the mothers, fathers, and children who were brutally mamed and killed? What about the hundreds of thousands of children who died of hunger and lack of medical care and suffered for YEARS in the middleeast because of our sanctions? I would let Jerry Sandusky go free to prevent all that from happening.

Joe Shmoe who works at the local Denny's isn't going to be on that stage. Secondly Biden was the VP of the last Democratic president. The entire democratic establishment and media was behind him.

  12159. 3. Again. Are you under the impression that crime doesn't exist in the UK, Japan, Australia, etc.? Of course it does. They also have lots of crime in their major cities as well. However the DIFFERENCE is that they have far fewer deaths. You simply ignore this fact because instead of paying attention to the studies which also point this out. You would rather look for a scapegoat to blame your problems on. Any rational person would see that as an "Irrational thought process"

If you have evidence that healthcare reform adds to the deficit or "kills our healthcare system" and I'll listen. Otherwise it's nonesense. We have 30 to 50 thousand people dying each ear due to lack of coverage. THOSE are the numbers I care about not your nonesense about what you believe is unconstitutional. You'll go to war over 3K yet won't do SHIT for the thousands dying every year.

If you look around the net you can find many others named "Lebron" doing something other than basketball.

  12163. You think Trump ever cared about healthcare or trade? Of course not... Trump never gave a shit about trade. He thought he could use NAFTA against Hillary Clinton and his notoriety for being a deal maker. That's all that was. The only reason he cared about a wall is because he is profoundly bigoted and thought it would cool to have a monument to himself. I'm amazed that people believed that a guy that spent his entire life trying to make as much money has possible and not caring about politics or issues suddenly had principles.

However the propaganda that you read will instead cherry pick stats from low population areas (like Wyoming, Montana, Kennesaw, etc..) and compare them with high population areas (New York, Chicago, Atlanta, etc.) because they are not interested in truth. They only care about misleading the public and people like you....

  12202. Geez... Enough with trying to feel victimzed You're not. The data clearly shows an overwhealming advantage for "white people" in this country and disadvantage for minorities (other than asian/indian).

Yet we still have people stuck on meaningless notions like "skin color"... How sad & pathetic.

  12203.  @twistedwithmelancholy8436  That's because of the news you subject yourself to. However you can easily find these stats and the individual cases they are referring to with a simple google search. It doesn't actually take much effort. Think about all the mass shootings in Synagogues and various cities. Not to mention the numerous bomb threats. Just a couple weeks ago there was a story about the "boogaloo boys" and various other far right groups had murdered dozens of cops over the past few years, as well as a plot to murder more cops in Texas because they think by doing so it will start a race war. You just don't hear about it because the media is more fascinated by people tearing down statues of racists who fought against this country.

  12207. Competency matters little in a game of propoganda. I can guarantee you that there are people at all levels of competency voting for the wrong reasons. The solution is to change the game rather than simply add smarter players. Make it about data, statistics, correlations, & empirical evidence and you will have better outcomes. Make it about fear, paranoia, hate, and ideology and you will have worse outcomes.

  12208. To be fair in 2014 Obama talked about the need to fund infrastructure necessary to prepare for a global pandemic that could occur in 5 years... Almost everything that the previous administration put in place was dismantled and the funding wasn't renewed by the current administration. Instead Trump focused on a meaningless wall and concentration camps on the border and literally stole billions of dollars in order to do so.
    1
  12209. This is my first time hearing the term "Accelerationism", but it sounds like you're conflating it with the "Overton Window". Being motivated to fix a problem, is different than changing the political climate. For example, you may not do anything if you think you just sprained an ankle, but if your ankle continues to hurt and you think it is broken then you may go see a doctor. Your accelerated condition is causing you to do something about it, which is different than solving a problem with a political preference such as clinic vs. an emergency room. Left vs. Right is solving various problems with a political preference, and you can argue that the increased pressures of capitalism led some people to believe that Trump and blaming immigrants was a way of solving those problems. The acceleration in this case was motivating people to vote and "populism" in general, not which team to vote for.

  12213. Here's the bottom line and it's real simple folks.... It is "cheating" if it goes beyond the boundaries you've set in your relationship/marriage.

It's up to those involved in that relationship/marriage to set and respect those boundaries.

  12217.  @imnotmike  There's that and the fact that people who are racist really don't think they have any mental disorder they just think they are being "honest" and "factual", but the rest of the world is too politically correct to accept the truth. Also the fact that it's harder to see racism when you're not personally impacted by it in any way. So someone wearing a klan outfit is just wearing a silly costume, but is otherwise a nice person who is just afraid of immigrants taking their job. Someone saying the n-word is not a big deal because black people do that in their songs all the time. People who are not impacted by racism often make these little justifications

  12218. Understand that the most corrupt governments in the world are mostly small giovernments... There are many many corrupt third world countries. Since the founding of this country and every country in the world the issue has and always will be EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT. Claiming "size" is related to corruption is propoganda playing on people's emotions. A small government is just as corruptable as a large government. Money buying government influence is a market mechanism not a democratic one.

  12219. Let's not forget that the Pfizer vaccine was developed in Germany without money from "warp speed". So to pretend that there would be no vaccine without Trump is a complete and total lie.

You can reduce deaths by mental health, reducing inequality, background checks, training etc. However the fact is (based on peer revewed studies) more guns = more gun deaths. Nonsense propoganda on "gun free zones" won't change that fact.

They wouldn't spend the whole time talking about how conservatives are reacting to it and how they will defend it. This is nothing more than "projection" because these are not serious people, they are hacks.

  12224. Whether a dog rescues and owner or not is irrelevant. There are also animals who eat their own young or kill their brothers & sisters. Your "humanity" makes the dog traits more important to you. Humans simply gravitated to other mammals they identified with. And after thousands of years of forced evolution... We evolved "wolves" into "dogs" Funny how you don't use examples from insects or fish because those animals are further removed from you & their sense of "morality" is quite different.

  12227. Politicians are not professional profilers.... Rand Paul and other politicians should STFU and stop speaking as if they are.

  12229. Bottom line is... These anecdotes are meaningless. What matters are the studies that *clearly* show the relationship between guns per capita and homicides. As well as the studies that *clearly* show that the more guns you own the more likely that you or someone in your household will die from a gun. All the hypothetical scenarios you come up with won't change that fact. Reducing homicides with background checks, etc. won't change that fact. More guns will *definitely* not change that fact.

  12230. Ayn Rand's ideas have been tried in pretty much every undeveloped country in the world.... The reason they don't work is because you need a cohesive GOVERNMENT in order to rally the people, create the infrastructure, and build a society upon. The idea that society can happen through "magic" without organization and planning is nonsense. The "free market" is a religion only found in the 1st world. People in the 3rd world would LOVE to be burdened by our "socialism".

  12231. Christ the commentary in this clip is incredibly vapid... 1. There is a difference between attacking a strategic bridge used by a foreign military to attack your country vs. attacking civilians and children because you're mad and want to send a message. 2. Trump was criticized BECAUSE HE STARTED THE AGGRESSION against North Korea and Iran when he assassinated one of their top leaders on his way to peace talks. If all you can do is equivocate based on the vague things people say when they are out of office then I'm sorry, you don't deserve to have a show.

  12232. I repeat it because you reatedly use "logical fallacy" for something you don't agree with. Not everything is a "falacy". However the fallacy in your last statement is called "false equivalence". You were equating a minor recession due to deflation to the Great Depression which was caused by a financtial/banking collapse and income disparity. We've had MANY recessions Not every single one is important enough to be called "Great" and require heavy government intervention

  12233. There's a couple things that Matt said that need debunking here, because this vaccine culture war has gotten out of hand. The right sound like idiots and the left sound like elitist a holes. 1. Even if you're vaccinated you can spread Covid. You're probably less likely to spread it, but the jury is still out on how much less especially when it comes Delta and other variants. Countries with even higher vaccination rates than the US experienced the same spike in cases over the summer and part of that is people feeling more comfortable in groups because they've been vaccinated. So there is probably a psychological component there as well, but the bottom line is the idea that somehow you're not spreading Covid if you're vaccinated is just plain false. 2. People who have had Covid have as much or greater immunity than people who are vaccinated. This is pretty common knowledge at this point based on numerous studies. YES there is a chance that you can get Covid again, but you can also catch Covid after being fully vaccinated. IN EITHER CASE you are far less likely to be hospitalized or die after you've built an immunity to it. All vaccines do is simulate an infection so that your body builds an immune response. Not sure why people think this mechanism somehow doesn't work when you get infected with the actual virus.

  12235. People don't realize that the same things was happening during Covid with the vaccines. It's not that the vaccines didn't work or weren't effective, they clearly were, but there was a concerted effort to push the narrative that naturally acquired immunity offered no protection... I was reading a pretty comprehensive article in the British Medical Journal where people wondered why the US was not taking into account naturally acquired immunity in it's vaccination policy. There were these tiny, incomplete, studies that promoted "vaccine only" immunity that were promoted, while the larger more comprehensive studies that clearly showed that natural immunity was a thing, were entirely ignored and they pointed out ties a few in the CDC had to pharmaceutical companies. It became entirely politicized in this country, whereas nearly everywhere else in the world people understood that once you recovered from Covid you were less likely to to have a reinfection and if you did, you were far less likely to be hospitalized. Which is no different than a "breakthrough " infection. It's the same reason why poor countries had a tough time getting vaccinations, because it became an easier sell in rich countries with deep pockets, even if tens of millions of those vaccine doses ended up expiring and wasted. The profit motive literally kills and people really need to understand these nuances.

There are so many "conservatives" I've spoken to that treat issues like "Obamacare" like it's a fucking football game and their simply chearleading for their side. At the end of the day there are less people dead because of so called "Obamacare", if you care more about your "team" or your idology than you do about less dead people then in my mind you are one sick son of a bitch.

  12237.  @WilliamJohnson-ps7sd  Sorry dude, but you really don't have a leg to stand on when all you're adding to the conversation are childish insults. If you don't want people to think you're a "simpleton" then try adding some actual ideas to your commentary.

  12238.  @RojirigoD  Yes, but most people learned about her and got to know her during her presidential run, when she got a lot of airtime and appeared on many shows. Just like many people didn't know much about Bernie Sanders before 2016. So my point is that during the campaign is when she emphasized being against "regime change wars" repeatedly and that's when a lot of "progressives" started learning about her and forming their opinion of her. Before that no one cared about her nationally.

  12239.  @Hoopla10  I think you're describing naivety in general which has been circulating around political circles for quite awhile. Especially with all the MAGA, Q-anon, etc. nonsense that has been so pervasive. Then you have people like Dore, Hannity, Rubin, Tucker, etc. who capitalize on dissent and division for their own grift. I would go a step further. I think people need to stop affiliating with parties in general. Political parties have been far more "malleable" than these political terms. As soon as people align with a tribe or a label, then it motivates people to affiliate with some other tribe or label. It's all total nonsense and becomes as meaningless as a collage football game. This is also why it is futile to believe in 3rd parties.

  12240. Owning a gun increases your likelyhood of being shot. Yes there are studies backing this up. When you factor out other factors of violence & aggression (inequality, poverty, population density, etc.) more guns per capita increases the number of deaths. There are many studies backing this up as well. Make no mistake..... A few cases of people fending off "home invaders" glorified in a pro-gun blog is in no way contradicts the fact that more guns in society increases suicides & homicides.

Processed food, factory farmed food, pesticides, etc. If you don't respect your food it will be unhealthy for you. If you think you're somehow being "healthy" by eating a bag of Cheetos or potato chips instead of a homemade chicken soup (made with chicken that are allowed to forage) then you would be mistaken.

  12244. @megagagnon1 I don't deny that either... Republicans fight for the wealthy while pretending it's about freedom and morality and Democrats fight for the middleclass yet cave the first chance they get and blame it on the Republicans. Those are the roles they play. The issue in our country is not left vs.right it is CORRUPTION. Just like "separation of powers", we must separate money from politics. There is more common ground between opposing viewpoints than what gets twisted by cable news.

  12245. No... YOUR analogy was about someone picking a fight and defending yourself. WTF does that have to do with a basketball game exactly? If you actually wanted to use a valid analogy based on fighting you would choose boxing. With that analogy those girls winning is similar to a boxer wanting to get a KO vs a TKO. A resounding victory is AWAYS desired in a competive sport wheher it's points or how quickly you can put the other guy down. Any idiot could wrap their head around that...

  12246. This has nothing to do with the "left" uniting behind an issue. It has to do with basic psychology.... Short term benefits always outweigh long term gains. It's far easier to cut taxes or deregulate because that is something which impacts people and companies immediately. However it's a much harder argument to convince people to pay more taxes and take on more regulations to fix intangible improvements that people won't experience until 10 years later.

  12247. Ron..... It's easy to talk about cutting medicare and taking care of yourself when your entire family is made up of doctors. Medicare and Social Security are not failed programs they are arguably the most successful programs this country has ever implemented and has probably saved millions of lives over the years. The country WILL NOT go bankrupt if end the wars and raise taxes.

  12251. More empty rhetoric I see. So I see you finally read the bill so you know you were *lying* when claiming the CRA targeted individual loans or forced mortgage companies to take high risk loans. Second, you need to understand what a "bubble" is... It was a "bubble" because banks were making billions on lending & creating derivatives which was a *growing* industry. The expansion of lending was an incentive to "make money" in a time of low interest rates not something forced by the government.

  12252. @TheConstitutionLives Yes I believe those people SHOULD be served as long as they aren'tt distirbing the peace. I think society is MUCH better for it rather than promoting hatred of *anybody* ONCE AGAIN you ignore the segregation issue. You bring up simplistic hypotheticals instead of addressing the issue. Same problem with Rand/Ron, they have some good ideas, yet NOTHING to fix problems. We need people to GOVERN not make up hypotheticals fitting their myopic view of the world.

  12253.  Based Haole  Most of the people in detention centers are legally seeking asylum. Many entered through legal ports of entry. Even if they didn't crossing the border unlawfully is a misdemeanor. It would be like throwing you in jail for months because you exceeded the speed limit or littering. Crossing a border unlawfully to claim asylum is also legal, because many times people are escaping violence and persecution don't have a choice.

  12257. @droidclone The problem is corruption in our government. That's why there are people protesting on Wall St and around the country. The heart of the issue isn't your taxes. The real problem is the same around the world....DEMOCRACY and REPRESENTATION. The oligarchy manipulated the government to cut THEIR taxes so they could accumulate MASSIVE wealth and change laws to support huge monopolies in retail, agriculture, banking, energy, & pharamcueticals. Then start wars of convenience & profit.

  12258. The 80s we were far less political correct and racially sensitive than we are today. The republican party was doing a lot of race baiting back then. So I somewhat give RP a pass on those newsletters as I'm sure he was trying to make a name for himself in a fundementally racist party. Limbaugh also made a name for himself being far worse. That said much of his ideas are borderline fanatical so athough I agree with some of his policies it's hard to say how effective he would be as president.

  12259. To her supporters I kept bringing up the fact that at the end of the Bush administration she was fine with torture, and during the Obama administration she complained that Obama wasn't bombing enough Muslims. She was dating a Republican at that time. At best she's a conservative pretending to be a Democrat, at worst she's a psychopath who has no real views on anything and is just looking for a path to power. She's one of the few politicians who gave me chills, like a stereotypical evil politician you see in movies.

Obama is not only concerned with getting money from Wall St. He's also deathly afraid of Wall St pouring in tons of money to defeat him at all cost. You think 10 to 1 is bad? He's afraid of 100 to 1. Same reason he caved to big Pharma. He could rally the people to fight against the banks, but we're also in the middle of a depression. The financial district runs Washington and Obama's scared...

  12264. There are a 1,000 paths to the divine. However the ones created by religious dogma lead to dead ends... I think the original creators of Abrahamic religions would be disgusted to find that the insights they worked to create would be co-opted by tyrants. There was a time when these religions were based on searching for the divine, now they have all been reduced to dogma, worshiping idols, and meaningless gestures (rituals). Not to mention an excuse for war and conflict. Its really quite sad.

I can't hope to understand all the nuances of why people immigrate to/from Denmark. Through I seriously doubt the primary reason has to do with taxes.

  12270. No, it's very easy to see "genocide" when you actually know the definition of the word instead of using it for nonsense hyperbole. "Genocide" is not the natural migration and mixing of people and cultures that's called "Acculturation". It's pathetic when people who've never known real discrimination or apharthied pretend to be victimized when they really have no clue what so ever what true oppression is. People who are actually "oppressed" don't need to be told so by internet racists.

  12271. @GzackOD Sure it did... The British parlament specifically gave the East India Company a tax break on the Tea Tax into the colonies. Speciifically so that the East India Company could sell more of its tea in the colonies. That's practicaly the very definition of corporatism.

  12272. So you're just going to pretend that the drone program didn't escalate further under Trump or that his first raid didn't killed dozens of civilians and 9 children?.... Never mind the fact that Trump directed the CIA to be less cautious on civilian deaths and stopped reporting on civilian casualties for drone strikes altogether. It's one thing to say Obama wasn't perfect, but if you're going to bring up the drone program without contrasting it to Trump, then you're not really making balanced argument. You're basically making a "fake neutrality" argument, by bringing up something bad without actually putting it into context. Based on your commentary here one could easily be misled into believing the drone situation is somehow better under Trump when it isn't AT ALL...

  12275. @ggadguy Wow you are seriously delusional. Which sadly makes you nothing more than a tool of the plutacracy. Slavery of blacks and native americans existed for nearly 200 YEARS in the colonial Americas before their was EVER a US government. For a time slavery was the only way certain industries could remain profitable. If you knew ANYTHING about the ratification of the constitution you would know that it reflected the powerful business interests of the slave owning states at the time.

  12276. I'm hearing lots of labels and plenty of smack, but zero facts or evidence.... Sorry, but I respond to substantive arguments based on science. Saying "liberal" over and over is propaganda not an argument. As I said, there are countless studies that clearly demonstrate the environmental impact on crime & human development, but apparently you are ignorant to that. The reason fox news viewers are consistently polled as being uninformed is because they believe "propaganda" is the same as "facts".

  12279. Of course you're paying most of the taxes if you own most of the wealth. If you owned all the oranges in the world and the only way people were able to get oranges was from you, then guess what? You're paying more oranges than anyone in the world. In fact you're the only one in the world paying orange taxes. Does that mean you're being unfairly treated?

  12280. Lets keep it real. Bottom line doing a "slut walk" is just as much about using sex to get attention as the breast cancer promotions. You can "offend" some women who lost their breast just as easily as you can "offend" some women who got raped. So yes, it is completely hypocritical.

  12281. @ReefThinker The middle class pay into medicare and social security on every pay check. The wealthy largely DO NOT. The government raided the social security fund for wars and other projects that didn't get proper funding. Otherwise the program has a surplus and is mostly solvant for the next 80 years. You're talking about cutting benefits to peaple that need it the most who already PAID for it. Cutting MC programs to get out of a recession has no basis in reality. Our tax code is "broke"

  12286.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  declaring a "false equivalency" generally requires an argument of some kind. We've already had a long history of patriarchal religions, but I wouldn't just pain a broad brush and assume everyone is just unhappy. That seems to be the assumption here. To me a valid counter would be to not only require a parent's consent but to also require a third party therapist of some kind to sign off on the marriage just to make sure everyone is of sound mind and not being coerced into it. I mean if we're saying that children are able to make sound decisions regarding their gender then why not marriage? Although to be clear it's not like all the bad things you mentioned don't regularly happen to adults.
    1
  12287.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  You can have a bad therapist for transitioning as well. I think the stakes are similar. In both cases you're making decisions which can have lifelong impacts and with marriage you can get divorced. A lot of this is just people's political bias towards one thing and not the other. Conservatives are more positive towards marriage and progressives are more positive towards issues surrounding personal identity. In both cases I don't think there is anything inherently wrong and it's just a matter of mitigating possible downsides. Making up scenarios and pretending that someone older can never have real feelings for someone younger is just a generalization.
    1
  12288.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  Your argument stems from the idea that someone underage given a choice to marry is being victimized by default. Which, again, is the same argument put forth by conservatives when it comes to trans issues. Where conservatives pretend that there is malice behind anyone encouraging a transition for a child. You're literally doing the exact same thing... You could also make the same argument against having a "learners permit" due to the increased likelihood of young people injuring themselves or others behind the wheel. As well as a myriad of other things that a teenager can participate in with a parent's consent. I don't know or care about the motivations of the politicians involved. I'm simply commenting on the idea itself and looking at it on it's own merits. Not everything has to be based on the perceived motivations of the "other team". Constantly framing things based on the "other team" only makes political discourse unproductive.
    1
  12289.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  Like I said, you sound no different than q-anon folks accusing everyone they disagree with them to be pedophiles. Which is an argument that doesn't even make sense for a 16 year old who has already gone through puberty. I'm pretty sure you know there is a big difference between a 16 year old and an 8 year old. So using that argument over and over is pretty silly. There are lots of people who married young and with much older spouses who have had successful marriages. It used to be far more common. So the idea that it can only be based on malicious intent is kind of silly. Not saying that this should be the norm, nor am I saying that people haven't abused young people, but the idea that every case is based on some kind of evil plot is nothing more than creating a straw man by demonizing the "other side". Which again is no different than what the MTG, Lauren Boeberts, and Matt Walshes of the world do when it comes to trans issues.
    1
  12290.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  The only similarity I made to Q is making baseless accusations that people are pedos, which as you know doesn't even fit the definition. I'm not the one making up scenarios here. So you can't accuse me of creating straw man arguments. There are thousands of underage marriages ever year and your assumption is that all of them are somehow based on selfishness, desire to control, etc. It's a broad assumption that isn't based on anything. You have a problem with me simply because I won't make the same logical leaps or assumptions as you.
    1
  12291.  @hurricanemarigolds2818  I wasn't straw manning anything. I was just repeating your own arguments. My original comment was simply asking for more data and all I got was the idea the assumption that all of these marriages are predatory with absolutely nothing to back up that idea.

You believe that you and your "human morality" and "human ideas" are somehow the center of the universe. That is what makes you arrogant.

  12297. Jeez have you ever thought *why* sex feels good? *why* we get aroused? These physical and emotional cues are come from our BIOLOGY specifically for procreation. We didn't "invent" these things. Being thirsty was a basic analogy, but I figured it was enough for you to understand the difference between biology vs society or culture. However If you cannot see behavior in terms of biology vs "things I like doing" or "things I want to do" then you'll never get it.

  12298. Sorry, but if you're going to make a generic statement like "History cannot be used to make a rational argument" then you can expect people will find it rediculous. Once again, you refuse to be specific or provide any logic or evidence for your assertions. Which means that most of your comments against Thom (and now me) are nothing more than Ad Hominems in an attempt to Troll. Look up the term "Projection" because I think your comments are a perfect example of it.

"Persuit of happiness" is definately denied since many are tied to their job because of healthcare benefits and many go bankrupt from medical bills. There go your dreams kid...

  12300. It is a gotcha question because Bolton was specifically behind that propaganda in the press.... Bolton can't possibly call out the press without calling out himself. However the real problem is not the press it's the profit motive. It's easy to point fingers now when you can make a living on platforms like YouTube and Patreon where not a viable 20 years ago. These things don't happen in a vacuum. The press doesn't wake up one day and say "hey we're going to sell out"

  12301. In the grand scheme of things It really doesn't matter how you got to be on the wrong side of history. You're still wrong. The entire south was pretty much a victim of circumstance since most of their industry, economy, and way of life was dependent on slaves. Money is linked to our survival and how we socialize. It warps our sense of morality and values which are reinforced each generation. Some of that culture still lingers today in the South despite ending slavery nearly 150 years ago.

  12302. It's a bit disingenuous to claim "hyperbole" when you're using word like "war profiteering". Yes they're continuing like nothing happened because the people working there WEREN'T EVEN BORN at the time.. I seriously fail to see how that is more ridiculous than putting the blame on all Germans or all white Americans who are part of the *same country* responsible for WW2, the holocaust, or slavery. I would prefer to teach kids about the "war profiteering" causing suffering in the world TODAY.

  12305. The "imagine" video deflected from the issues people were facing. This one addresses it. Sorry, but as a black man in America I will take "yes" for an answer and I will take any and all support the movement can get. We are not going to get real change in this country without a majority and if it takes celebrities doing a song and dance to get more publicity and to reach more people then I'm all for it.... Personally I think it's far more "cringy" to watch the left CONSTANTLY criticizing itself over petty nitpicks rather than being unified for once. Take "yes" for an answer and then move on to how you want to effect change, because it's going to be different for everybody. The country needs symbolic gestures... Which is the entire reason people take to the streets and protest to begin with. Without symbols you're never going to get enough support for the substantive change that people need.

  12306. TYT didn't complain about Jimmy Dore or Dave Rubin until they said something bad about them. Just like MR are suddenly "grifters" when they criticized something they said. It's not about policy, it's about them, their celebrity, and their influence in media.

  12307. Sorry, but I need more details before I feel "outrage"... There have been many stories of "statutory rape" between a female teacher and a young male student. I don't recall hearing much "outrage" from Cenk in those cases.... I have no idea what the circumstances where behind the suicide or whether the relationship with the teacher led to it. I also don't get why he should be further punished because he was visited by *family* members and some members of his family happened to be young women.

  12319. Ana's making the same mistake as Kyle (Secular Talk).... Just because a politician counter's with an argument that you don't like or care about, doesn't mean it doesn't resonate with some voters. Not everyone is in the weeds of policy and many really don't care. The "Pocahontas" thing goes to the credibility of both Trump and Warren, so shedding a light on it and making Trump look like the liar and racist that he is, isn't really a bad thing.

  12320. So I assume you're even even more upset about the all the KILLINGS that have happened in the past year from people motivated by right wing ideology. I assume you were just as concerned with the guy mailing bombs to people or the people planning mass shootings. I assume you were disgusted that Trump pulled funding from domestic terrorism prevention efforts and canceled the grant to a group countering violent extremism from white supremacist groups. I assume you also care about the attacks against gays, transsexuals, minorities, etc. that have left them hospitalized. The violence against trans-people is currently an epidemic an a dozen people have already been murdered this year. If you're not even more upset by these cases you can spare me your righteous indignation.

  12321.  @dmoff928  People getting killed are FAR bigger stories than someone getting assaulted. I hate what happened, but the reality is he's fine, while there are many other people who are dead. People that the media never covered... When you have the media downplaying all of those deaths while making up stores about concrete then it is a far more dangerous than what actually happened here.

Not to mention the suicides and accidental deaths that are done with legally obtained firearms.

All of which you simply ignore.

First off burning is entirely in line with what he was saying, secondly which early human specifically carried people off only because of smell or illness because I've never heard of such a thing outside of a natural disaster such as a plague, holocaust, genocide, etc. It sounds like something you're making up simply to be contrary.

  12327.  @evander797  Then clearly you have no idea how taxes work.... The only reason that your money has any value is because of the strong stable government that backs that currency.

  12330. @megagagnon1 That's because your numbers are wrong and inflated. You're comparing the salary + benefits of a teacher who's been in the system for well over a decade. Most teachers start out with the same salary as an assistant manager at McDonalds, despite having FAR more education. Grading, perparing for classes, etc. takes twice the time a teacher actually "spends in class". The sad reality is our overworked teachers are currently being demonized for a political agenda, nothing else.

  12331. The last point was a good one about vaccines being a false sense of security when it comes to spreading the virus. The vaccinations don't last long and they don't stop the virus from being spread. Personally I think that once people are vaccinated they should be exposed to the virus in order to get natural immunity so that we have a stronger immunity to the virus instead of a short term one.

Less people working, less demand for goods & services, business suffers, less revenue to pay back our debt. Pride got us through the depression, WW2, and launched us into space. We *grew* this country with bold ideas & innovation. Yes of course cut wasteful & unneeded programs, however the insane hatchet job that RP wants will hurt this country. Austerity is not helping things in Europe.

  12336. I'm sorry, but it's far more believable that Trump would hire a woman to stand in for Melania (it's not like he hasn't paid women to hang out with him in the past) than for the entire white house administration, secret service, congress, and the press to all pretend that the President of the United States is alive after he secretly died. 😂

  12337. @megagagnon1 Multinational corporations know no country or state boundary. What exactly is your definition of "flounder"? States existed just fine with slavery, child labor, indentured servants, and many "snake oil" salesmen well before a US government was formed. As long as there is a profit motive states will always be kept "functional" at the expense of people especially with a weakened federal government with no commerce regulations or power to stop it. It's naive to think otherwise.

  12338. @1CreativeWriter Unsubstantiated claims doesn't further any understanding. What is your evidence for size in relationship to the style of government? Let me guess.... It's based on a "belief" Furthermore ALL governments are forms of "collectivism". That's why governments exist in the first place. "Rights" are a function of government. I can't kill you but I can speak out against you because we have a government that protects your right to life and my right to speech.

  12346.  @Zorriet  What about it? Literally the same thing that Bernie Sanders has been saying for decades. When Dennis Kucinich was running for president on a platform of peace. I believed it. With Tulsi it's more of a maybe I guess... She has no real record on it. It's easy to say things (just like Obama and Trump) when you don't have much of a record. If she's REALLY anti-war then why not propose slashing the pentagon's budget as Bernie Sanders has numerous times? You noticed how she hesitated on that question, didn't you? If you are TRULY anti-war then why not say: "We're going to bring military spending to pre 911 levels". Heck you might even say pre-cold war levels. If that's your real position then why not reign in the military industrial complex? Most other candidates tackle it from that angle, because it's an easy way to fund education, infrastructure, green new deal, etc. but for some reason she doesn't... It's stuff like that which really give me pause. Either she's not really ant-war or she's afraid of the optics and losing support/endorsements from the military. I don't like any one of those options.

  12347. ​ @tonysmith6967  So your tactic now is to call me names and lie about Bernie's record? You're now claiming that Bernie "tried his best" to topple regimes? wow... Sorry, but you've gone completely off the deep end and abandoned all logical thought. Sanders was one of the lone voices opposing the Iraq War since it started. With NUMEROUS videos of him speaking out against it and many other conflicts on the floor of the Senate while others just sat by. He's currently speaking out against our intervention in Venezuela. I've listened to this man for about 15 years so I'm very well aware of his positions on war and the military industrial complex. If he ever supported any kind of intervention it was when lives were literally at stake. If he wanted a regime change it was for a peaceful transition, not by force. You're comments are an embarrassment to free thought. Look... It's okay for you to like Tulsi, but you're letting your support turn you rabid. I have enough to deal with when it comes to mindless Trump supporters. I don't need that stupidity coming from the left as well. Like I said. I appreciate her perspective when it comes to the debates, but she has no real record on changing the discourse in this country or getting any reforms through congress. Furthermore her previous comments on Torture, the wall, etc. are troubling. She's spent a lot of time "coming around" to issues (like Medicare for all, LGBTQ rights, etc), whereas Bernie has been on the right side of those issues since probably before she was born. Yes, there are videos of Bernie speaking out on gay rights in the 80's. The bottom line is you believe that Tulsi will be consistent, true, and effective on issues that she's literally only had for maybe 4-5 years at most. Whereas I don't, sorry. However I would be more than happy if she gained popularity and more support on those ideas and became an effective leader in congress while Sanders is president.

  12350. Slavery was natural because the environment made it natural. This is why the "south" experienced lynchings, segregation, etc. while the North did not. Our environment effects our perception of the world. Pure Libertarianism is no different than the various incarnations of "Communism" in that it relies on a utopic vision of people behaving in the ideal way. We need to get away from our perceptions and embrace objective SCIENCE, not the ideology or religion of poltiicians fishing for votes.

How many times in this video and the previous one did Kyle say that he agreed with Jimmy/Aaron on most issues? 10? 20? You're not interested in a substantive discussion or giving anyone the benefit of the doubt so you can just screw off... I'm not interested in taking any of you people seriously because you're not serious people. At least TYT isn't throwing a temper tantrum and a hissy fit because Kyle said they were wrong on some things. Why? Because they are ADULTS.

Pretending that he took her aside and had a private conversation is a gd lie. Secondly she wasn't his boss at the time, that is also a lie. Lastly Kyle responded to that accusation. He literally said it was unfair OVER AND OVER in this video and in the previous one. So you obviously didn't even watch either one. You people are disingenuous little children who can't take "yes" for an answer. That's why I'm done with you people. I can't stand dishonest actors who do nothing but feed on drama. That is not the "left" that I want to ever be a part of. Jimmy, Aaron, and his entire audience of cry babies can go eff themselves.

  12356.  v1cv3g4s  It was a joke in front of the entire office and the students she was bringing in. Even Jimmy admitted that he embarrassed her and he admitted that he made a joke at her expense.

  12357.  @ryanjoel3157  The sarcasm was about the time. I have no idea what your argument is. As I already pointed out..... The only people taking pot shots at Kyle on twitter and in their show are Jimmy and Aaron because they not mature enough to not handle a 15% disagreement or Kyle not wanting to do an interview with TYT or Jimmy in the middle of drama. Obviously that's the reason why Kyle felt the need to respond. He's not making a video about TYT because TYT isn't making petty pot shots about the disagreements he's had with them or not having them on his show.

  12359. ​ v1cv3g4s  sexual harassment: --"behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation." Making a joke about someone's privates is in fact sexual harassment. TV Producer: --"A television producer is a person who oversees one or more aspects of video production on a television program. Some producers take more of an executive role, in that they conceive new programs and pitch them to the television networks, but upon acceptance they focus on business matters, such as budgets and contracts" News Producer: --"The news producer takes all the elements of a newscast and compiles them into a cohesive show. In the hierarchy of the newsroom, the news producer is under the executive producer, who reports to the news director." I perfectly understand the definition of English words, but clearly this is where you have trouble.

Spying on our own citizens. 5. Ignoring Habeas Corpus 6. Torture Was complete and utterly STUPID.

Simply "not knowing" is not evidence of god & just because we happen to create things doesn't mean a being created us. The problem with religion is that it limits your thought to *human* ideas formed thousands of years ago when in fact existence is far more wonderful & mysterious.

  12389.  @luna-p  No, part of the criticism they are bringing against Chris Cuomo is that he DIDN'T use his platform to ask his brother tough questions. Emma had the opportunity to address the allegations against Jordan who she worked with for years, and did not say anything about it. Like it not, but her silence gave cover to the sexual abuse allegations that were made against him. Now I don't blame Emma for not wanting to get involved in a story that she was OBVIOUSLY close to, but to turn around and criticize others for similar behavior and not wanting to cover scandals that involve close family members is a little hypercritical. I don't think that Chris Cuomo was trying to "whitewash" his brother by having him on his show to do a fun segment while everyone was stressed out during Covid nor do I think it's surprising at all that he would talk to his brother and give him advise during the scandal. However the constant obsession and bickering over it has just gotten ridiculous.

  12396.  @AntonioSantos-yh2tq  He got the money from scamming thousands of students, using his presidential campaign to sell books and rent rooms on his own properties where he doubled the price, and doubling the membership fees at Mar-a-Lago so that people could pay his club to get access to the president. 😂 Never mind the hundreds of rooms that were rented and never used by the Saudis so they could funnel some money to Trump. Running for president was always a cash cow for Trump and his family. It still is. Sorry, but when you ignore democracy, courts, and laws, you are in fact anointing someone as a dictator or King. Also in case you forgot, Hillary Clinton conceded the election THE NEXT DAY.... Despite all of our intelligence agencies talking about "Russian interference", she cared more about the country and the peaceful transfer of power than her own ambitions. YOU supported a guy who NEVER conceded, even after losing 60 court cases and , because he cared more about his ego than the country... Trump didn't care about ripping the country apart, the thousands dying DAILY from a virus that we could have stopped early on, starting a riot at the capital, or anyone who got killed in the process... You do realize it was Mike Pence, NOT Trump, who finally called in the national guard right? Trump is a traitor to this country who deserves far worse than impeachment.

As if a self proclaimed "billionaire" (more like a bankrupt multi millionaire) who never gave a damn about anything except making money, bragging about women, and bragging about his money suddenly "cared" about you or this country. I have friends who also fell for that crap and nearly disowned them for their stupidity. And please tell me what is a lie about all the court cases that were either thrown out or laughed out of court because they were frivolous cases with no evidence or standing? If you're going to give me some bullshit about them "all being in on it" then you can just eff off with that nonsense.... YES there is rampant corruption in both parties. That's why you focus on POLICIES not magic people coming to save you because they looked cool on a fake reality TV show.... Political parties are nothing more than marketing agencies that politicians use to get themselves elected. They are not democratic, they are more like corporations.

  12398. @ggadguy Saying that changing a few regulations, tax codes, & single payer suddenly makes us the USSR is like saying adding a stiffer suspension to s truck makes it a porche. It's a strawman used by many conservatives and libertarians who never mention France, Germany, Japan, and other successful countries much more "soclialist" than we are. USSR had an entirely different system, with problems in vague governance, constant power shifts, no capitalism, and a few controlling the entire system.

  12399. Anectdotally I've noticed this in my friends. Extremely intelligent friends I've known since highschool that smoked regularly do not seem as "with it" by their 30s.... Common sense should tell you to be wary of consuming *anything* regularly that wasn't part of our normal evolutionary intake of nutrients and chemicals. No matter how "natural" you think it is, consuming brain altering chemicals every day (tobacco, pot, alchohol, caffine, etc) has consequences.

  12400. The bottom line is getting out of the "revenge" mentality in our criminal system. Instead of focusing on "punishing" we need to focus on reducing harmful behavior. Part of that is education, mental health services, and reducing economic inequality. Prison should only be used to quarentine people who are likely to harm others.

Trans fats, HFCS, Aspartime, soy products, countless GMOs, animal AND plant factory farming have only made us sicker. There are ways to grow food SUSTAINABLY... We just stopped doing it because it was less PROFITABLE. We can use science to create sustainable ecosystems that generate food. Farmers have been doing this for centuries. "Soylent green" is not for people....

  12402. @MRELTUCO2 You're saying because kids can die in other ways we shouldn't prevent them dying through guns? That makes no sense/ That's like saying "accidents happen so everyone should just drink and drive..." The fact is gun shows are an extremely popular place for gangs and other criminals to buy guns. If you want to protect people AND your rights then you should want to fix these holes in the system. I think only a zealot brainwashed by NRA propoganda would see it otherwise.

If someone you cared about was shot and killed I doubt you would just believe the person that killed them. You have no idea what Zimmerman did nor what can be presented as evidence in a trial. You just personally identify with the shooter and therefore want him to be "set free" without ANY regard to whether you're setting free a murderer or not. It is completely irrational and quite disturbing...

  12411. When did he every say he would "not" tax people under 250k? That's crazy. You are a clearly misinformed.... He said they would get a "tax break" as in *less* taxes. I believe the only people he said would be tax exempt were the elderly making under 50k. McCain's plan had less of a tax break for people making under 250k and a much higher tax cut for the wealthy. So basically you support breaks for the wealthy....It's weird how the GOP gets peopel to vote against their own interests.

The growth of the finance sector, automation, globalization and open trade. Has allowed the Oligarchy to take back power.

All we can do is continue to keep the pressure on Obama and hope his second term is much more progressive than his first. Like it or Hate it, but Obama has neutered the GOP... They have absolutely no accomplishments to speak of and no real arguments against Obama's policies which have all been constant compromises.

If people are stupid enough to still smoke, after all the information given to them then it's really THEIR FAULT.

  12420.  @alexandre588  Nuclear plants are also detrimental to the environment. A single nuclear plant in FL is responsible for killing thousands of sea turtles. The ocean life around nuclear plants get killed off and sucked into intakes. Most of the materials for solar panels are mostly silicon which is one of the most abundant things out there. Solar is not perfect and you do need a robust recycling program with solar panels like we have for batteries and other things today. Although the lifespan of a panel is pretty much the same as a nuclear plant. As far as land... You can put solar panels on pretty much every building or structure in the country. You cannot say the same for nuclear reactors. Solar/wind democratizes energy. Nuclear leaves it in the hands of a few. Furthermore scientist have already devised ways of doubling the efficiency of today's panels. Double the efficiency means doubling the output of current farms or requiring far less land for new farms. The bottom line is if you look at the cost per KW. Nuclear is several times that of solar. Given the enormous costs, environment concerns, the potential for a meltdown if something unexpected happens (missile, solar flare, tsunami, etc..) I truly don't understand what the big draw people have towards nuclear.

  12421.  @alexandre588  "mining process is still harmful to the environment, specially if you want to do it in a mass scale." Including the detrimental effects of nuclear power if you scale that up. So...? "And it would run at mediocre efficiency and produce very little energy, and be dependent on weather." So? Solar has always been dependent on the whether it doesn't mean you can't generate a butt-load of energy on a cloudy day, just as Germany does which gets far less sun than the US. "Then let's stay with fossil fuel cause they're the cheapest energy source" Because we're talking about renewable energy obviously. If I used reductive logic for everything then it wouldn't be a very productive conversation. "If there was an actual effort to make it work as there was with solar, costs would also be drastically reduced with increased efficiency." Are you kidding me? You pretend as if Nuclear energy is this new kid on the block that hasn't been used as a significant power source in over 30 countries or that it hasn't been given HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in subsides over the past few decades. The subsidies for solar is NOTHING compared the amount of subsidies the nuclear energy industry has gotten. Solar hasn't gotten better because of subsidies it's gotten better IN SPITE of subsidies going to nuclear and fossil fuels FOR DECADES... Ask yourself why is that? It's because solar and wind democratizes energy a FAR BETTER than Nuclear does. There are thousands of companies who can get involved in solar in a way that you just cannot with nuclear energy. So solar has been able to iterate and improve much easier. We wouldn't have iPhones today if cellphones were these billion dollar devices that were dangerous, difficult to research, and took years to make. The barrier to entry is much lower with things like solar and wind. Furthermore there are scientists who say they can double the efficiency of solar panels. Some even say we could triple their efficiency. Which means you could power an entire home on a few panels. At that level of efficiency you could probably even power lightweight vehicles with just panels and a battery. "Can we at least agree that it would be better than fossil fuels?" Of course it is. I just see more potential in an energy source that just sits there with no moving parts that even a child could use vs. the most destructive force produced by man requiring a thousand protocols to keep us from destroying ourselves.

Sanders didn't, Trump didn't, and Warren didn't, and you certainly don't.

So it might be a good idea to tone down the rhetoric. 2.

  12430. Keep in mind that the only reason that this is a national discussion today is because of leaks by the Department of Justice to NBC. So by all indications the Obama administation leaked these documents to start the discussion and so far there are no indications that they are running away from oversight (also indicated by Obama's responses here). Oversight is the responsability of CONGRESS... And obviously he can't talk about classified operations until after this oversight has taken place.

  12431. @megagagnon1 Technically I'm not against small or large businesses. However understand that "tax cuts" are not some magic economic fix. If the masses (ie middle class) cannot buy your product you're out of luck. Corporate taxes mostly apply to "profits". You're not taxed if you're not "selling" Secondly when you talk about taxes you need tot distinguish between corporate, income, payroll, etc.. There is a big difference. A high "income" tax can actually effect businesses positively.

What evidence do you have that slavery wouldn't have continued until today? You're making a classic "Appeal to Consequences" fallacy. 3. You're seriously delusional if you somehow think "mall cops" handle rape and murder cases. So in your mind it is "ok" to rape and murder children if they're not in a place of business?

  12433.  @shinystarmiestudios4179  Which study is that? The only reference I see to "6 times more likely" is the study back in study back in the Sept that suggested that boys are 6 times more likely to get myocarditis from the Pfizer vaccine than Covid. Then there's the study in January using VAERS data which shows an increased risk for myocarditis among young males and mRNA vaccination but doesn't compare it to Covid infections. Nothing I've seen has ever been really definitive on the topic. The problem is that there seems to be no real incentive to study it thoroughly and just dismissing real concerns as "anti-vaxxer" because of politics is absolute nonsense.
    1
  12434.  @SoSoKayla  For example the study that The Guardian wrote an article on entitled: "Boys more at risk from Pfizer jab side-effect than Covid, suggests study" Then there's the more recent study from January: "Myocarditis Cases Reported After mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccination in the US From December 2020 to August 2021" It's been known for a long while now that boys might have a higher risk of myocarditis from vaccination compared to natural infection. However, there is very little conclusive data available. There is also less money and less incentive to studying these things as well.
    1
  12435.  @SoSoKayla  The second was peer reviewed and is available in several publications. Also, peer review takes time. I was paying attention. If you're not discussing the actual cohort of concern (young males/boys) then you're not actually discussing the issue. Generalizing across the entire population, especially the adult population, isn't actually discussing the topic and it's surprising that someone would even do that. YES, VAERS data is limited, but that only means that better studies are needed. What exactly is your point? Do you not want this issue studied or even looked at? Because it's strange how the viral video about Joe Rogan being "fact checked in real time" was based on a study that wasn't peer reviewed and ended up being flawed. Yet no one seemed to have problems with that, nor did anyone come back to correct it. If people aren't going to try and be objective about these things, they shouldn't be discussing them.

Bush STARTED the war in Afghanistan and LIED us into an illegal war in Iraq. 3. "Obamacare" REDUCES the deficit and gets rid of "preexisting conditions" (saving lives).

There is the 1M tax credits, the 25M economic development incentives, and the 117M tax cuts which DO effect the 2011-2013 budget: "For his first month in office, though, Walker's been focused on spending money through tax cuts. Two tax cuts he's already signed, along with one that's passed the Assembly, would add roughly $117 million to the state's budget problem over the next two years." Cuts that benefit 1% of the people... See a pattern?

  12445.  @Skyknight12  The difference is that Sanders has criticized our drone program and promised to limit it's use if he became president even though he would not eliminate their use entirely. Whereas Tulsi has repeatedly called for MORE drone strikes. In 2015 Sanders was saying he would limit drone strikes, at the same time Tulsi was criticizing Obama for not bombing enough in places like Syria. Furthermore when asked about this Afghanistan strike. Sanders said that it is unacceptable and that we should take steps so that it never happens again, whereas when Tulsi is given the same question she makes an argument for why we should continue using drone strikes. It's an entirely different mindset.
    1
  12446.  @Skyknight12  Gabbard has promoted and supported drone strikes far more than talking about limiting them. There are no tweets from Sanders complaining that Obama should be bombing in Syria more like there is from Gabbard. I think Sanders would have followed through with significantly scaling back our military since he's literally been trying to do that for decades. Whereas Tulsi jumped on the bandwagon shortly before running for president.

  12447.  @Skyknight12  If you don't know the problem with drone strikes and are somehow oblivious to the constant issues with drones strikes over the last 20 years then this really isn't a conversation you should be having. There is no magic button that only kills bad guys.

Instead of actually doing their job, we're talking about things that were debunked over a year ago. You honestly think the FBI wouldn't have thoroughly investigated that situation? Do you think people yelling out "you slept with a spy" in a completely unrelated hearing is how these things are investigated? This is why Congress is turning into a joke.

  12451. The answer to democracy failing isn't "less democracy". Do you know the motivations of the 911 hijackers? Probably not, beceause no one cared after they committed violence. It just became the excuse for invading/occupying other countries. Authoritarian forces will ALWAYS use violence or the threat of violence as an excuse for military force, imprisonment, and consolidating their power. Hitler, Mao, Stalin ALL did the same thing. So yes, acting tough with your gun is completely naive.

We've allowed it to control and corrupt nearly every aspect of society and turned it into a means of control and accumulating power. 3. There are many great civilizations existing today that don't practice slavery.

It could mean the end of peaceful protests and civil disobedience.

A lot of people supported Cosby, even at the very end, because they grew up seeing him as a hero. People have a hard time seeing their celebrities as bad people.

  12469. Romney is obviously LYING... This is a dude who made all his money from Wall St and private equity. The word "vulture capitalism" was practically invented for Mitt Romney's business practices. I'm sure he makes plenty of money from the military industrial complex and I loved how he just glossed over our military coming home in caskets, like a true psychopath. 911 wasn't a result of lack of war, it was completely incompetence and lack of communication from the FBI and other agencies.

  12472. No matter how you try to justify it, forcing or coercing people to get vaccinated is similar to the coercive measures that the Right uses to make women give birth. Vaccination has nothing to do with stopping the spread of the virus, this was known months after the vaccines were made available and has been confirmed by studies since them. The vaccines were never designed to provide "sterilizing immunity" they only reduced or eliminated symptoms of an infection including hospitalization and death. However, the Left has been constantly perpetuated this lie that the vaccines stop people from spreading the virus for over a year now which was never true. You can certainly make the argument that masking policies made sense when vaccines were unavailable or limited because masks physically stop or slow down the droplets coming from our mouths. However constantly pretending that vaccine mandates or coercive measures were necessary to stop transmission is disingenuous. All you're doing is making an attempt justify an incorrect position which is similar to what the right wing does.

  12473.  @user-vs6vr3oc4k  No I'm saying there were no real stories on Antifa until 2017 after Charlottesville. So if the Proud Boys were in response to something it was to Trump and the Alt Right.

  12474.  @user-vs6vr3oc4k  Like I said, the Proud Boys had nothing to do with Antifa because there weren't a mainstream thing until after Charlottesville. Yes people dying is actually a story, unlike the bullshit you guys make up. Someone get's punched and you cry about it for years. Meanwhile dozens of people get killed by fascists and racists and you don't care.

  12475.  @danstrick3314  By that logic Fascism has been around since the late 18th century, but obviously we're not talking about every pro fascist group and every pro- anti fascist group in existence, because in that case the US would definitely be considered the "anti-fascist" in WW2. But sure, keep aligning yourselves with the fascists. I really doubt history will look at you too kindly.... Germany and Italy certainly look at their fascism as a wonderful time in their history don't they? 😂

  12476.  @danstrick3314  Basically the left (in this country) cares about the state when it comes to things like education. health care, the environment, and feeding the poor. The Right cares about the state when it comes to authoritarianism, force against minorities, and war. Those are the basic roots of fascism. You should care if Trump wins or loses. Apathy when violence and death is happening around you doesn't help anybody.

  12477.  @danstrick3314  Is Yemen something that was pushed for by "the left" or did you have people like Bernie Sanders constantly arguing against it?

  12478.  @danstrick3314  It's never worked except literally every time it has ever been implemented. 40's, 50's 60's were literally some of the biggest growths this country has ever had. Cutting taxes on the rich has never worked. The Great Depression, The Great Recession, and now we're heading towards another recession under Trump. You can also check Kansas and see how well Brownback's tax cuts worked out for them.

Then you might as well pretend that Islamic Extremism has nothing to do with Islamic Terrorism. or that Nazism had no impact on creating concentration camps or the holocaust. Ideology does in fact motivate people and to say otherwise is rather dumb. 2. Name two studies that show masks did not help during the pandemic. Because as someone who has looked at numerous studies on Covid over the past year. I can assure you that your claim is nothing more than ignorance and propaganda The reason why nurses and surgeons have worn masks in operating rooms for a hundred years has nothing to do with "feeling safer" it has everything to do with preventing pathogens from spreading to patients. Ever since the 1918 pandemic Japan and other Asian countries have worn masks to prevent flu from spreading. Try comparing their Covid numbers to ours and get back to me.

  12481. Its clear that guns are a religious crusade for you because it effects how you see things logically. Let me explain: NO ONE ever said banning guns would somehow "eliminate criminals" or "eliminate crime". More guns in circulation simply means MORE PEOPLE DIE when crime DOES occur or when people have emotional breakdowns, get angry, or make stupid mistakes. THAT is what these studies show. You pretend as if the UK, Japan, & Austraila don't have plenty of gangs and other criminals THEY DO.

  12482. I started watching Cenk when we were in the middle of the Iraq War. Apparently he's totally forgotten how Republicans were against war until politicians and right wing media told them to be in favor of it. They had no problems when Trump dropped the MOAB while dramatically increasing drone strikes and the pentagon budget. They were against Kim Jung Un when Trump was antagonistic against him and them immediately embraced him when Trump decided to do publicity for him. The idea that they wouldn't line up behind any war that Trump wants is incredibly naive.

  12483. @MajorBookworm100 It depends entirely on how you define "communism". "Communism" by definition has never existed, only different variations of socialized services run by dictators or corrupt republics. However the impression that Americans have of communism is completely warped because of the cold war. Which was basically a propoganda war between two super powers. However characterizing communism as a choice between having "civil liberties" or not is completely false.

  12486.  @bigbaddawg101  Yes I doubt he actually got tased, but my point is that even if he was it isn't something to be executed for. There isn't anyone on death row who is there for tasing someone. If there were it would be filled with police officers who often tase people without a reason to.

I've been saying this whole time that Chris Christie's tactics of being "the only guy running against Trump" is going to win him a lot of votes compared to all the people who say they're running against Trump but still kiss his ass. It's honestly silly not to see something so obvious. He may not overtake Trump, but he'll certainly overtake DeSantis... Because not only is he consolidating the anti-trump vote, but the establishment media loves Chris Christie.

  12492. Not to mention that this political stunt will cost tax payers upwards of 200 MILLION dollars.... For that amount of money you could literally buy every immigrant in that caravan a house.

  12493.  @AdamSmith-gs2dv  Yup. Once the vaccines became widely available it became a personal responsibility issue, but for some reason progressives decided latch onto this idea of forcing people to vaccinate even if they don't want to, forcing businesses to remain closed, forcing kids to stay home, and forcing everyone to wear masks everywhere. Yes, technically it wasn't all "forced", but that's the political narrative and you're feeling that in NY. Then they wonder why the public has been turning against them. As if the idea is to keep anyone from ever getting sick indefinitely which was never going to happen without turning into a complete authoritarian state. There seems to be no room in this world for people who are pro-vaccine, pro-natural immunity, and pro doing whatever you want to do with your own body. Two years into this thing, everyone has had plenty of opportunity to prepare one way or another.

  12494.  @gottagowork  I did not say "no risk", I compared the risk for children to the flu and other respiratory diseases where you saw similar levels of complications and deaths. "Long term effects" is pretty much any symptom lasting longer than 4 weeks and I've had plenty of flus where I've had a persistent cough afterwards and YES that would fall under the definition of "long covid" because there has never been a strict definition. If you look at the study published a few weeks ago: "Long COVID symptoms and duration in SARS‑CoV‑2 positive children" If shows that "Long Covid" only effects 0.8% of kids and that for most of these cases their symptoms go away after a few months. Their conclusion is that these cases are "rare". Yes, long covid is a thing in a small number of rare cases in children, but it has been GREATLY overexaggerated by the media for ratings and clicks.
    1
  12495.  @gottagowork  And yet it was in fact labeled "rare" in the study I mentioned that was published just last month, not last year like your study was. The "media" used studies like the one you mentioned to create sensational headlines before it was ever even fully studied. If you were really concerned with deaths and long-term impacts in children, you would be raising alarm bells about RSV which leads to far more deaths and long-term health impacts in children. Drinking soda, eating sugary cereal, eating fast food, and drinking alcohol (in the case of adults) also has long lasting impacts on health. There is no scenario where we stop people from getting infected. Even variants of the Spanish Flu are still in circulation today. The virus is here to stay whether you like it or not. The question is how to live with it from now on. The quality of life and the impact society has on the short period someone is a child is far different than it is for an adult.

  12503.  @js8636  Not endorsing anyone during the primary is not the same as "not supporting". Warren was being considered for VP. Having Warren in the white house under Clinton would have been far better choice than an empty endorsement that only appealed to progressive voters who where already supporting Bernie. It literally wouldn't have done anything. I care more about policies that Warren supports not who she gives an empty endorsement to. The only reason Bernie ran in 2016 is because he couldn't get Warren to run. That's how much faith he has in her.

  12504.  @js8636  Furthermore you had someone like Tulsi who DID support Bernie in 2016 and yet she's now out there defending Biden and backing away from Medicare For All.

  12507.  @BioLegacy141  "Noble" is a matter of opinion based on nothing other than politics. Fighting for higher pay is not exactly altruistic. Also, not all truckers in the protest are unvaccinated, just like not all protestors in BLM were black. Many just disagree with idea of having nonsensical mandates. No one asking to "spread disease" any more than BLM were asking to "eliminate law and order" or for "Marxism". I'm REALLY sick and tired of people hypocritically spinning every protest based on their politics.
    1
  12508.  @BioLegacy141  And if you're protesting vaccine mandates that cause people to lose their jobs and other problems then you're also helping people. If you're protesting in BLM for the small number of black people that face police injustice. I seriously don't get how people don't understand that this is a matter of politics. You don't agree with someone's politics, so you downplay the protest. It is the exact same thing the right wing does. Vaccination does not stop transmission. this has been known for almost a year now. Which is why we started wearing masks again Asymptomatic transmission has been known about for almost 2 years now. No pharmaceutical company ever claimed that their vaccines stop transmission. Only that they reduce symptoms, hospitalization, and death. The only reason you think otherwise is because of misinformation. Omicron spreads through vaccinated populations and unvaccinated populations alike. You're only protecting yourself with vaccination, no one else.

  12520. But it's not like you're not susceptible to the virus even if everyone around you is vaccinated. Studies showed that at most there's a 25% reduction in transmission. The benefit of the vaccine was to prevent severe cases, but it doesn't prevent transmission.

The reason we have nuclear energy today at all is because of government invested research. This is one of the many ways government policies and investments can make a big differences in solving energy problems.

You can't have it both ways dude.... I get it, you're afraid of overreach, we all are, but I don't think we should be afraid of studying something because we're afraid of what information might come out of it. I'll always be on the side of studying everything we can so we can be informed on any decisions we make rather than living in ignorance because we're afraid of the consequences that knowledge might bring.

  12536. The Clinton Foundation was actually investigated multiple times. No wrongdoing was found. It's pretty ironic coming from someone who claimed up and down that there is nothing to "Russiagate", to automatically assume the Clinton Foundation is corrupt for no other reason than people being "close to billionaires" and you not liking Clinton. I don't like Clinton either, but your bias here is pretty obvious. I also can't stand the false equivalency where you feel the need to bring something up on the Democratic side just to make you seem unbiased. If being "close to billionaires" was a crime then nearly everyone in the Republican party would be guilty in fact they elected a supposed billionaire. My stance is to let every investigation play out. Whether it's Benghazi, Emails, Foundations, Russia Collusion, etc. However when you start assuming guilt and assuming corruption, then that's where you lose me.

  12543. In my world creating regulations that protect people from business isn't authoritarianism. Businesses are pretty much government structures anyway (Corporations, LLCs, etc.). It becomes authoritarian when you create laws to regulate people/behavior. So although I don't agree with things like seatbelt or drug laws. I absolutely agree with regulations on a business selling quarter million dollar undersea rides.

  12548. Trump literally lied about the virus being any kind of threat to this country for politics. Faucci was under ENORMOUS pressure from the Whitehouse to completely downplay it. Changing his opinion from 75% to 85% isn't really the end of the world.

  12550. To be fair Scarborough has spoken favorably of Bernie Sanders numerous times... In fact I would say that he's spoken much more favorably of Sanders than he has of Hillary Clinton. There is a clip of him n 2016 making the case that Bernie Sanders has "forever changed US politics" when the people around him were pretending that Bernie Sanders was just a minor phenomena.

  12551. So you can give the entire recipe of what Trump was given while he was being treated for Covid, yet the results of a test is somehow "private medical history". Wow talk about bullshit. You might as well come out and say "we're guilty" because that's basically what you did.

  12552. Who was inciting violence? The protesters politely informing the people of the casualties of the jewish state or the lunatics screaming and threatening them with violence and death? I would love for protestors in the US to point out the polciies against native americans in the formation of the United States. Being willfully ignorant of history simply because you want to feel good about yourself is dispicable. We are all one people, its about time we stop acting like mindless cheerleaders.

  12556. ​@Proven Assailant Easy. It was better to have anyone who wasn't a serial criminal who used the presidency for financial gain, extorting countries for his own political benefit, a pathological liar, and actually cared about saving people's lives during a pandemic. Lots of people were saying that any other Republican would have been better than that. I also remember not too long ago when the right's slogan during and years following the 2016 election was "lock her up". Now they sing an entirely different tune when it's their guy facing even more extensive charges. Care to elaborate on that?

There is so much waste in our society because we want to own shit that we never use and we want to individualize packaging to make it easier to sell. The amount of "edible food" we toss into landfills is enough to feed several countries. Our transportation systems are completely outdated.

Not to mention that the "US dollar" is used as a benchmark all around the world which will cause markets and industries to plummet worldwide. Talking about secession to solve political problems is like popping a pimple with a sledge hammer

However the idea that small government & low taxes magically creates prosperty is not backed up by any facts present or historical. It's only propogranda fed to the idealogs by the oligarchs. I only advocate for democracy. Libertarians also advocate democracy but only from a limited capitalistic viewpoint without understanding that capitalism is not the same as democracy.

  12568.  @wesman7837  There is actually lots of quantifiable evidence that the Covid vaccines significantly reduce chances infection, symptoms, hospitalizations, and deaths. Natural immunity appears to create a longer lasting immunity against the variants, but getting sick with a live virus just to prevent future infections is like driving your car into a wall to prevent future car accidents. The whole point of vaccines is to simulate an infection so that your body builds an immune response without suffering the damaging effects of an actual infection. That long term damage has been clearly documented in even mild cases of Covid. So you really don't want those potential damaging effects. Personally I think everyone is eventually going to get some case of Covid, because it's spread too far to stop at this point and even vaccines don't stop it from spreading, but you're far better off getting Covid after vaccination than without it.
    1
  12569.  @Addi_Teacha509  Correction, there is no 100% immunity from vaccines. However wearing a seatbelt a helmet, or taking birth control isn't 100% either. There is almost nothing in life that offers 100% protection against something bad happening to you, but we do it anyway to reduce our chances. So you cannot just ignore the efficacy of vaccines in reducing your chance of infection, symptoms, hospitalization, and death just because it isn't 100%

  12570.  @Etatdesiege1979  No one said that the left is "pro" or "anti" Russian. Those are nonsense and meaningless absolutes. However, it is pretty clear that left wing media, and some populous right-wing media, had a big blind spot here. They were so preoccupied with US imperialism, and the Iraq war that was started 20 years ago, that they couldn't see Russian imperialism happening right in front of them.

  12573. @ggadguy No actually it proves that when you let corporations run free then the "free market" is in fact completely useless at regulating itself because these toxic products are never addressed in the market until they are addressed by the FDA. You wouldn't even have "food labels" today if it weren't for Federal regulations. People are just ignorant of the harmful toxins, bacteria, crappy drugs, that have prevented death, illness, and thousands of birth defects because the FDA did it's job.

No I didn't... or should I say "fallacy!"? :-P Your second *assumption* is that someone wealthy works "harder" than someone working in a factory. That's a very sad and uninformed assumption. WW2 was the largest government program this country has ever had, as well as the highest taxes we've ever had. It was not "less government' than FDR's New Deal.

  12577. That was my exact point to you about a year ago or so on identity politics. Sometimes it's not about "identity", but rather "representation". If you have two candidates that are perfect on all the issues, but one brings diversity and the other doesn't. Then I think it's perfectly okay to favor the one who will bring diversity. Not just diversity of race and ethnic background, but also economic class. Which is why I would like to see a progressive like Richard Ojeda in congress than another progressive from California. Why? Because the fact is YOU NEVER KNOW when that persons background will make a difference in representing the ideas that never make it to the status quo. You being a white male, It probably takes longer for you to get around to that point simply because from your perspective you don't see all the instances where representation would make a difference. The problem is with those who think that identity should override good policy ideas

Many so called "3rd world" countries still do. However the more reliant a society is on money just to *survive* the more poverty, hunger, & homelessness there is unless you compensate for it. It means being enslaved to a job & bank (debt) most of your life just to live day to day. Unless you're lucky and born wealthy

You didn't complain when republicans say they are personally against abortion, yet they don't push anti-abortion legislation. However in this case Obama has pushed forth advances to gay equality.

That's why a lot of people who supported Sanders also supported Buttigieg or Biden... The sad fact is a lot of people are not looking at policies and that's something that we on the left have trouble understanding.... Biden won because the media was on his side and were able to create a myth of someone who could "win" against Trump.

The point is not matter what race you are the more power you give to stupid words and silly actions the more uncomfortable about race we will be. Find me any instance of TYT using the word "retarded" in the past 3 months. Actually back up the idea that they use it "all the time".

  12592.  @TheVinc123  Cool story. Then why is she running for president instead of supporting Bernie who has the same positions on war as she does? These are the questions that you need to be asking and it really doesn't take a genius to figure out that her motivations may be less than altruistic. Which is why I don't trust her. Telling me that she supported Bernie in 2016 and then suddenly wants to run against Bernie, doesn't give me confidence in her sincerity. If after 5 years she's just as progressive and has dedicated her life to fighting for these ideas, coming up with new ideas, and creating coalitions around these ideas like Bernie and Warren have, then I'll trust her. Right now I don't. Right now she just looks like another politician using the unpopularity of Trump as an opportunity to be president.

  12593.  @bru1016  Sorry, but it was obvious that Bernie was going to run again. I don't think there was anyone alive (let alone other politicians) who somehow thought that Bernie was going to end his campaign in 2016. Bernie pushed Warren to run in 2016 and then decided to run after he could not get her to run. In fact Bernie spent years refusing to campaign for president even though many were asking him to do it. That's how someone behaves when they care more about issues than themselves. What do you think of Tulsi curiously not attacking Biden? Even though Biden is a target rich environment when it comes to anti war (Iraq war, etc.), criminal justice reform, Obama's escalation of drone attacks, Libya, etc.? What do you think of Tulsi curiously coming to Biden's defense when he was attacked for being chummy with segregationists in the past? She did her research on Kamala just so she could attack her, but doesn't say ANYTHING against Biden when given the opportunity. Even though Biden is just as guilty as Kamala on the same issue she attacked her for. Gee do you think it might have something to do with leaving the door open for a VP pick?...

The guy hated BLM for being non-violent and not extreme and so in your mind it's their fault that he decided to shoot cops in opposition to that message? He created opposition videos to TYT so therefore it is TYT's fault for his extremist views? LOL..... Your comment is the very definition of a non-sequitur. If you think that your nonsense argument somehow equates to racists advocating a race war every time they speak, while carrying guns, and threatening the very existence of blacks, Jews, etc. then you are seriously delusional.

  12596. All life is the same. The fact that lions, bears, fish, birds, and even your "dog" will kill other things to eat does not make them (or your dog) less "moral". Your morality is a human concept... It is nothing more than arrogance to believe that your "human morality" is the center of the universe and better than all other creatures. The reason you identify with dogs and cats is because they are also HUNTERS and share some of our characteristics.

That's the same as shooting someone in the leg because you're sick of chasing them. So JR... should we tase everyone that speeds on the highway? Since we have people repeating the crime?

  12603.  @kenshin3375  1. protesting police violence isn't fascism. Words have definitions and a specific historical context.... I suggest you research what "fascism" actually is. You can't just throw around random words simply because you feel like using them. 2. Much of the looting and arson associated to these protests are from outside agitators. This is documented in actual police reports. 3. Yes respecting everyone's opinions and coming to consensus is often problematic in governing systems based on democracy. But that' is the price of living in a free society. Having the interests of a few dictate life for everyone else is much less ideal. I have yet to see evidence that Dictatorships, Aristocracies, Monarchies, or Oligopolies are better systems have you?

In this case the parents should at least enforce a set amount of time the children MUST spend learning SOMETHING. Even if what they learn is their choice.

A lot of wishful thinking, but it's a real possibility. Either way I would be happy with Biden gone.

There are lots of female fighters who wouldn't be considered non-binary. Anyway, I know it's a complex topic. I was just curious where she was coming from.

  12621. The person resorting to petty insults is clearly the one getting "frustrated", because you have yet to produce a single factual argument... Let me repeat... if you sell products/services within the US you are relying on the infrastructure the country is built upon. Roads, bridges, ports, clean water/air, sanitation, public education, police, fire, courts, even the very MONEY you exchange. But apparently you think everything given to you is "free" so no one has to pay or contribute to society.

  12622. The fact that you compare a mentally disabled person to an animal and say they're "the same" proves my point. In your mind animals are "lesser humans". It is insulting (to other creatures) to even make that comparison, but you're so stuck in the arrogance of your own humanity that you can't see beyond it. Yes some experiences we share with other creatures but other creatures are not "mentally disabled people" & a cat eating a mouse is not moral/immoral because you think they're "lesser humans"

I see an debunked story in 2015 about "Two White Men Doused with Gasoline, Set on Fire by BLM". Is that what you're referring to? Made up stories?

  12634. Manchin is like Lucy holding the football, and Ryan Grimm and other Democrats are all Charlie Brown. How many times does Manchin have to lie to your face before you understand that he's never been an honest actor? You can never believe anything he proposes because it's all to manipulate the press, support his businesses and his donors, and to make himself the most important person in the room.

  12635. Money has such a horribly corrupting influence on society.... "your money" has absolutely NO VALUE outside of the government that was created by pooling our resources together. We are trained like dogs to hoard money and we trade away our lives & humanity to do so. Governments are not created through "magic", they all rely on a system of taxation. These people are brainwashed into believing their "money" has nothing to do with the society they live in or the government that manages it.

Then who cares? The fact that you impaled your earlobes and shoved sparkly peaces of metal in there is also the result of social conditioning, but who cares? Let people be happy with whatever social condition they were born with instead of pretending that it is wrong.

You thinking "sharing values" is the same as stating facts, once again proves my point of conservatives mixing emotion and religion with political opinion. You haven't provided any "facts* for why the US should be involved in the conflict giving billions in aid and weapons at the expense of the other side. Especially since it is the main motivation of terrorism against the US.

  12645. You guys are seriously conflating "efficacy"... Under Delta the vaccines had a high efficacy at preventing symptomatic covid, but it was not very efficient in preventing transmission of Covid. Joe Rogan was referring to transmission not just "breakthrough infections" or symptomatic covid which is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT when talking about transmission. We started wearing masks again because vaccinated people could asymptomatically still transmit the disease when Delta was prevalent. With Omicron transmissibility is even higher, but even under Delta studies were showing a high rate of transmission. However, the media was still pretending as if vaccinations were stopping transmission when that was never what they were designed to do. So Joe is somewhat correct on that point.

  12646. Kyle, if you can't even define what the "Deep State" is, then please stop defending it's existence.... Just because there are CIA black sites and our government has done some fucked up shit, doesn't mean that there is a "deep state". I'm sick and tired of people throwing around these words that don't mean anything. It's even worse when people on the so called "left" try to justify meaningless terms. To you the "deep state' means CIA black sites, to someone else the "deep state" means the FBI and Mueller, to someone else it's the illuminate, so can we please stop with this bullshit? Whoopi is 100% right, either define the term and stick with that definition, or stop fucking using it.

  12647. 1. It was obvious that despite your claims you didn't bother at all to look at the many videos where TYT regularly discusses Syria. Pretending it was about a specific day is simply to cover up the fact that you were caught in a lie. 2. Clearly you are unable to have a rational l discussion on racism. You ignore the topic and make wild claims without pointing to a single clip/sentence to back it up. When you generalize to something absurd you are unable to have a rational discussion.

  12649. The idea that Mahr thinks the theoretical deaths of 10,000 Israelis is unconscionable, yet he's perfectly okay with the actual killing of well over 50,000 Palestinian civilians is effing disgusting. He's a racist and a horrible person.

Progressives are against government when it comes to civil liberties, nonsense regulations. the drug war, unlawful foreign interventions, war, laws regulating sex, abortion, & marriage. The idea that you should be for/agains government or for/against markets is nothing more than a fake argument used to divide.

  12653. @ClaimAmerica4Christ Top reason why conservative christians like meaningless factually incorrect lists that only serve to insult and demonize others: 1. It makes them feel good about themselves at the expense of others. Because we all know that Jesus Christ (if he ever existed) was a guy who was so petty and immature that he loved insulting others to make himself feel good.

  12654. @wecamewithbroken125 I'd go further and say that most Americans have not only been brainwashed against "liberalism", but "socialism" and "communism" as well. Since the Cold War this country has waged a propoganda and ideological war against the USSR, because of that much of the western world is brainwashed to a single ideology with a visceral (pavlovian) response against anything remotely sounding like "communism". It stiffles any rational debate in this country.

Men tend to get more comfortable taking risks and don't tell me you haven't also seen dudes use their phones, or eating, or fiddling with music, or use their knees on the wheel, or hanging their feet out while driving as well. Also we don't really have any statistics for professional "drivers". Though I do know there is a long list of dead racecar drivers that don't appear to contain any females...

If your close friend just got accused of something you'd probably give him the benefit of the doubt too. It's a natural human reaction. You don't suddenly believe a close friend is a guilty horrible person in a couple days. Throwing the book at some stupid kids who had nothing to do with the actual crime is just being needlessly vengeful.

Meanwhile we become just as complicit in talking about non issues while millions of people are about to become homeless.

It's almost as if people's view on whistleblowers change depending on the narrative they're trying to push. You say that Trump's collusion with Russia "turns out not to be true", No it turned out not to be provable. There's a big difference. There is no evidence showing that there was collusion, but there is also no evidence showing that there wasn't. What we have is a lot of circumstantial evidence demonstrating that there could have been collusion at some point, but not a smoking gun. Trump has a lot of financial ties with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. He has demonstrated on multiple occasions that he will put his financial interests above that of the country's

  12669. @ATGwrestling The video creates a simplistic narrative based on a false duality between "communism" and "capitalism". When in fact they are both based on antiquated monetary systems. Furthermore the idea that capitalism does not yield monopolies and oligarchies is completely false as well. All you have to do is look at the history of any capitalist countries and you'll find rockefellers and rothchilds and other "bourgeoisie" colluding for power. wealth, and influence.

  12674. In the entire history of the world most of the population has not had red hair. Having red hair is not the "norm". Therefore, it is not "normal". We should not teach kids that red heads exist and if they see someone with red hair, we should tell them they don't have red hair they are just confused... Keeping kids dumb for as long as we can is far better than teaching them that other types of humans exist.

  12676. @ggadguy How does a government "cut spending" while at the same time enforce, regulate, monitor, and prosecute so called "private property rights"? We have an EPA that does that, yet it's budget was just CUT.

Just like people used to think "blood-letting" would fix all health problems.

  12678. Steve G, IF Hillary & Bill are still pulling strings then they should be called out for that and that should be an issue. However I seriously doubt they are anymore simply because their is much less of an incentive to and they've been beaten up over the past year for what they did during the 2016 election. Yes I'm sure on some level Hillary in the back of her mind has left open a slim possibility of running in 2020. However clearly she isn't on the campaign trail now and If she or another candidate like her were to jump into the spotlight then THAT'S when we jump on that person. Doing so now is a complete waste of time and energy. Instead of focusing on the people who are doing real harm to the country and to the party TODAY we're nursing a year and half long grudge against Clinton for winning the nomination. Sorry but bitching about something that happened a year and a half ago is not going to get us anywhere.

If you're going to generalize "TYT's opinion" then you need to have some examples to back it up, The conflict of interest is not between bigger and smaller government or taxes.

  12683. Pocket knives with a 2" blade are in fact NOT meant to kill people, animals, or even be used for self defense. Secondly. If you've ever ridden in car, trick, bus, subway, or train chances are you've been near people with small pocket knives on their keychain. The idea that because "it's a plane" you're afraid of people stabbing you randomly with something the size of toothpick is completely irrational. It is nothing more than the product of years of brainwashing, fear, and group histeria.

  12684. @tcdowning666 and @ZerqTM I also agree... What better path to facism than throwing people in jail on trumped up charges and not allowing them to vote? The message we have for any convict in this country is that you're less than a human being. Which is why the US has such high recidivism rates. Voting is not a guilty pleasure it's the right as a human being and the cornerstone of any functioning democracy. Anyone of age should be allowed to vote regardless of their circumstance.

The purpose of "Society" should be to strive for the well being of all who live within it. This is more our "nature" than competition.

  12689. @ggadguy Where does this idea come from that the"largeness" of government (which is purely subjective) has anything to do with influence by the people? There are hundreds of examples of "small governments" (Mexico, Afghanistan, Somalia, Zembabwe, Iraq) that are just as corrupt as some big governments (Former USSR, "Republic" of N. Korea). The whole idea is a false narrative used to manipulate people and deflect from the REAL problems of Insuring democracy and eliminating corruption.

Go with corporations and you get praise, fancy busses, news coverage, seats in congress, a congressional caucus, and a televised "state of the union" response. Go against corporations and you get pepper sprayed in the face.

As a result the middleclass just ended up getting screwed. I'm tired of people looking at the "positive side" when it comes to the motivations of grifters.

Literally willing to let millions die, destroy the country, and undermine democracy for his own ego. That's on a completely different level than other politicians.

Why would they be active after the nomination? After Trump has a better chance of winning? Your response makes zero sense. Obviously they would want to help him secure the nomination itself if possible. And if he didn't get the nomination they would flip to the next best candidate. BTW the RNC was also hacked and I'm sure if Trump didn't get the nomination, they would have released something damaging in those emails.

  12708. Michael ARMIJO, First off if you've read anything you would know that Trump didn't really want or expect to be president. His wife literally started crying when the news was announced, because she never wanted that life. Trump mostly wanted publicity for himself and to make money from his campaign. Which he did by booking campaign related activities to his own properties and charging double or triple what those places would normally charge. Secondly you're an idiot if you think he was a billionaire, he never released his tax returns and everyone whose analyzed his finances have concluded that he wasn't a billionaire, you just blindly believed him like a dumb idiot. Lastly he already admitted to obstruction on national television by firing Comey, the only thing left is to prove the motive.

  12710. If you think giving people the freedom and choice to marry who they want to is a "libertarian attitude" then you have a seriously flawed definition of "libertarian". Do proponents of gay marriage or pro choice have "libertarian attitudes"? Secondly if you read the study it doesn't say that at all. It only focuses on "multiple wives" and just theorizes on reasons for why western societies transitioned to monogamy. There is a huge leap between that & destroying society if we made polygamy legal
    1
  12711. @ggadguy That's my point... You will *always* have this manipulation in a system motivated by profit and wealth. You don't have an answer for this... Libertarians have been sold this idea that somehow a free market (which has never existed) will magically correct everything. The idea is false and corruption is never self correcting. It is all simply a reaction to a fealing of injustice caused by a growing inequality. Some people call it "corporatism" others call it "big government"

There's no doubt that she's been aligning herself with known transphobes as of late and adopting their framing and some of their talking points. I think the issue with Cenk is him trying to stick up for her and making the network look bad in the process.

People were lead to believe that George Bush regularly "cleared brush" on a ranch or that Trump was a straight talking "man of the people" even though he inherited hundreds of millions and only hung out with rich people his entire life. You could even mention Boris Johnson messing up his hair to make him appear more average. Education and intelligence shouldn't be disqualifications for leadership, but lately that seems to be the case.

  12720. The fact that they were there to overturn the results of an election and prevent the transfer of power. Then they broke into the our nation's capital, attempted to kidnap congressmen and take over the capital in order to prevent the certification of the electoral votes in order to achieve that goal. BTW the definition of "insurrection" doesn't include "assault rifle" so maybe you should look into that.... Besides the fact that there were in fact people armed people at the capital and even pipe bombs were found.

  12721. ​ @spinner771  Nice quote, but there's a reason why we have statues and streets commemorating MLK all over this country and not Malcom X.... It's because MLK was more inclusive and effective with his messaging. Next time quote someone who achieved actual progress instead of just talking about it. The one true thing that Kyle said here is that you're not going to win people over by just being mean to them. It goes both ways. Biden going hard after Bernie and "socialism" would be a mistake under normal circumstances, because he would piss off a lot of potential supporters. However luckily for him people are far more pissed off at Trump.

  12722.  @GoDLiKeKakashi  I never said anything about people blaming Sanders for a loss, so I have no idea what you're responding to there. People are gonna do what they're gonna do. Secondly Bernie voters or Biden voters could easily sit the general election out if you ran a primary where Bernie or Biden turned the other candidate into the "enemy". Trump doesn't have to win these voters, he just has to suppress the turnout. It came out recently that Trump's campaign ran ads targeting black voters in order to suppress the black vote against Clinton in 2016. Keep in mind that Trump tried to do this a few months ago with Bernie voters where he was saying "They stole it from Bernie again!". He's not doing that because he actually supports Bernie. He's doing that to piss people off so that they don't vote for Biden in the general election.... If Sanders had started whining about the primary results and blaming Biden for it, then he would have just plaid right into Trump's hands instead that line of attack wasn't as effective. Bernie repeated over and over that the movement is not about him You need to take that message and run with it. Don't look for a messiah to save you. That's what Trump supporters look for. Trump has made the republican party all about him and his ego. That's not what we're about.

  12724. Extremes of heat/cold are based on predictions climatologists have been making for years based on rising global temperatures. This is no different than economists predicting volitility in the market based on rising prices of certain goods & services, However Cenk is not a "climatologists" or "economists" so he's not there to present scientific conclusions. He's simply a commentator making observations based on what he's read from other scientists. What "conclusion" are you referring to?

  12726. Trump didn't deliver anything, he simply lied frequently and far more often than anyone before. The reality is a con man is more effective as a politician and most of the country is incredibly dumb when it comes to policy. The lesson that right wing politicians will continue to take from this is that lying more often and more blatantly wins elections... while Democratic politicians are shackled to having some level of honesty and real policies that will be picked apart by pundits and the media.

No one gave a crap when Joe Schmo and THOUSANDS of people were blocked from facebook, youtube, twitter, or instagram for copyright violations, or making large corporations mad, or dozens of other reasons. Yet somehow when Trump incites a riot coup of our government by constantly spreading outright lies and misinformation for YEARS. Suddenly we are all forced to care about "free speech" implications when it happens to a white man with power and wealth.

  12729. @ggadguy Third... yes people change and sometimes do bad things. There are hundreds of thousands of times that people through governments, business, foundations, etc. have broken their promises. Which is why government has laws, police, court systems, etc. However when government gets corrupt that system gets broken. Which is why systemic corruption is the problem, not "government itself". If a government is truly "of the people by the people" then it doesn't matter how big or small it is.

  12732. I read your entire comment yet you seem to be ignoring mine and asking questions I've already answered. Yes the plane crashed because the passengers who had regained control of the plane were fighting with the hijackers over the controls. However the point was that they wouldn't have gotten that far if the passengers/staff knew. The second point (you ignored) was that a hijacker isn't going to force a pilot to crash a plane. The reason you're dumbfounded is because of constant brainwashing.

How about those tax returns? All you seem to care about is the "branding" of Trump, but not the reality.

  12737.  @rgwf1908  All you have to do is read... 1. Trump more than doubled the deficit and increased the debt by trillions through is increases the military budget and giving more tax cuts to the wealthy. 2. The trade deficit with China is higher than when Trump took office. 3. The NSC Pandemic Team was disbanded under Trump's administration. 4. Most of the CDC staff in China were fired under Trump's administration just before the pandemic. 5. After Trump "fell in love" with Kim Jong Un. North Korea continued their nuclear program and now they have missiles that can reach the US. Those are all facts. Anymore questions?

  12738.  @rgwf1908  Yeah Trump is so "pro-life" after letting hundreds of thousands of American DIE suffocating to death alone in hospitals over the past year. Trump is so "pro life" taking tens of thousands of kids away from their families. Hundreds of kids still lost in the system, and will probably never see their families ever again. Trump is so "pro life" with the dozen Americans he rushed through execution in his final days in office. Like I said, you're nothing more than brainwashed lemming sucked in by Trump's branding nothing else. All you care about is the damn slogans and catch phrases... McConnell is actually the one who got all of those court appointments. Trump literally did nothing. except appoint who they told him to appoint.

  12740. @LeadHammer Have you never heard of inflation? Do you realize that the GDP in 1940 was less than a 100 billion dollars? Today we spent nearly twice that just bailing out AIG. Back then you had families living on a 100, 125, 150 dollars a month vs. today a family can spend a hundred dollars just going out to a nice restaurant. So YES back then it would have been hard for people to imagine 31 billion dollars. How is that hard for you to understand?

Yes, your argument is probably closer to what's called a "irrelevant conclusion" rather than a "straw man". And most of your last comment falls under a general "red herring" It seems like you are creating excuses instead of following any sort of real logic. It seems clear that you are just Trolling here.

  12742. Sorry, but you're not helping your "mindless" case by parroting empty talking points... It's sad when I come across people like you whose arguments all come straight out of think tanks and focus tested phrasing (by people like Frank Luntz). I count around 5 talking points in that short comment, that's pretty bad... You likely don't even realize how much you've been brainwashed. Do yourself a favor and stop listening to bullshit punditry. It is dumbing you down.

  12743. I have to disagree a little bit here. There are LOTS of people getting a salary for doing a bad job. That's just life. To be fair, as you said he DID take a 60% pay cut. Yes he makes millions of dollars, but it's relative. A janitor makes much less than a receptionist or administrative assistant, does that mean it's easy for the receptionist to take a pay cut? Cenk if you got your own show in MSNBC and the ratings went down. Would you take a pay cut for that year?

  12744. 1. These are homicide RATES... OF COURSE population is accounted for. The US has always had a gun culture & more guns per capita. Face facts & stop making excuses. 2. Again your personal anecdotes are meaningless. The fact is on average 2-3 people (adults & children) die each day from an accidental discharges. 3. I like the idea of training that comes with mandatory militia service (like in Switzerland) which was the idea behind our 2nd Amendment. Instead of a separate army & "gun worship".

You didn't say the words "100%", but you, Emma, Sam, and many on the Left constantly talked about the vaccines in terms of making people no longer infectious when there was never any evidence to support that. I kept warning over and over that making those claims and being supportive of mandates was only giving fuel to the right wing in this country. Which it did. Which is why it is still being used as a rallying cry by people like DeSantis. It may not be a big issue in a couple years, but just like 911, people remember traumatic events and all the negativity surrounding it and I really wish many on the left didn't walk up to that line of authoritarianism with their language and give people like DeSantis an excuse to deflect from his own horrible record with handling Covid.

  12765. First off, I would look for a different measurement other than just the air filtration rate. Obviously, there aren't hundreds of people in an ICU so you're not comparing apples to apples. There are cases of people catching Covid from other passengers (for example the 61 passengers who caught Omicron) so unless you're actually studying transmission between people on a flight, you're only highlighting a factoid that makes you look better. Secondly, you also have to take into account people getting in and off of planes. I don't imagine that the bridges to get to the plane or the plane themselves have the same level of filtration as a plane in flight with all the passengers seated. Lastly, so many people have lost their minds during this pandemic... It's sad how the people who were following the science have now become unwilling to accept updates to that science.

  12766. @elfornse Things would go much faster with a dictatorship... Is that what you want? Since apparently you have a disdain for democracy. What exactly has the "government" done that is criminal? You have not highlighted anything, simply saying the entire government is a criminal organization for taxing you does not make it so.... Let me guess, your reasoning is: "anything the government does that I don't like is criminal" Am I right?

Immigrants commit crime at a lower rate than citizens do, so someone's immigration status literally has NOTHING to do with mass shooting. However someone's ideology DOES have to do with why someone would go out of their way to kill others. You're literally whining about someone not giving people a reason to hate immigrants more. What kind of sick mentality is that? Would you want someone to point out if a person was Mormon or played video games too?

  12773. @ggadguy The problem is that when you think "We" society you think of communism. As Thom stated the USSR was actually more of a "Me" society based on the ideology of a few in power. The "We" society we're talking about is one based on a free and well functioning democracy that looks out for the good of it's people or "General welfare" as stated twice in the constitution. The strawman is implying that this means you're suddenly against capitalism, free trade, property rights, or businesses.

They are not vehicles for secure communication by the POTUS.

  12791. Gee Kyle did you ever think that maybe if you're a black man in America or an immigrant then the stuff that Trump did hits a lot closer to home than an Iraq vote from 20 years ago that 71% of the country was in favor of at the time? The Iraq vote wasn't great, but it's not like Biden or most people voting for that resolution were trying to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people and occupy Iraq for 10 years.... The Bush administration waged that war and they lied to American people until most of the country thought it was a good idea to invade.

I welcome that in fact. However I do have a problem with choosing her as leader of the free world when there are FAR better choices out there. A 38 year old has PLENTY of time to figure out who the f**k she really is and prove it with actual receipts. In the mean time we really don't have to pick someone who spent most of their life fighting against gay rights, not knowing whether torture is a good idea or not, not fully supporting medicare for all, not being critical of Israel oppressing Palestinians, being somewhat Islamophobic, being supported by Hindu nationalist, and going around using Republican talking points on Fox News. I can choose the guy who was fighting for gay rights in the 80s when it wasn't popular. Who got arrested fighting for civil rights when it wasn't popular. Who spoke out against the Iraq War when it wasn't popular. Who came up with the idea of "Medicare for All" when it wasn't popular. Who speaks for the rights of Palestinians when it's not popular. THAT IS A REAL LEADER. Understand?

  12803. @TheZoostudio13 I may not know much about broadcasting, but I do know there is a difference between a news-like show and a talk show and those that combine the two like the Daily Show. To me TYT seems closer to Bill Maher's format of an "intimate panel" discussing topics than the Daily Show's format which is essentially a parady of cable news. Even the format of that horrible Fox News show Red Eye could work. The show's appeal comes from the interaction between the *people*, not big sets.

  12807. @horuseyes So If they wore a head scarf, helmet, or poka dot socks because it represents their country... then it's ok, but wearing it because of religion makes you uncomfortable. I guess you would also ban teams from praying before a match or thanking God for a victory? For Iran country and religion are the same. So it's really not much different than wearing national colors. Personally I think people are just imposing their own personal opinions on something that should be a non-issue.

  12810. Kyle, since when does "The rise in death threats against the press is concerning" the same as "No one should criticize the press" and "every story the press does is correct and awesome"? You're making a lot of non-sequiturs and straw man arguments in this video.

  12811. 1. Again, the idea that all laws/regulations are good or bad is moronic. It's called "cost vs benefit"... Would you run a business based on "more money" or "less money" rather than deciding what's a "good investments" vs. "poor investments"? Of course not. It depends on WHICH taxes/regulations & HOW they are applied for the best outcomes completely dependent on the CONTEXT & SITUTATION. It's a concept that ideologs are completely unable to grasp because they choose religion over facts.

If anything I would expect you would see something that looks more akin to a long shadow of yourself as your presence disrupts the flow of photons, but without enough information in the disruption to actually see details.

  12814. @jrpone It has nothing to do with finding support for Obama. Just looking at the situation objectively. If you think Libya for a few months is anything close to the 10 years in Iraq & Afghanistan, Or Obama's rhetoric against Iran is anywhere near the GOP candidates, Or "signing the NDAA" (created by CONGRESS) is the same as creating GitMo, Abu Gurhaib, Torture, Patriot Act, TSA, Homeland Security, Rendition, etc. Then you're not being rational. You're simply reacting to punditry.

  12815. Once again, no evidence, no facts, no stats, just empty mindless talking points (with exclamation marks) Sorry I don't respond to that. I find it sad how political discourse has devolved to in this country where people are simply told by pundits "who to hate" instead of coming up with their own reasoned fact-based arguments. It is extremely shallow and does nothing to fix real problems.
    1
  12816. There is a reason why anecdotal accounts are not considered "evidence"... I can name hundreds of schools that have no guns and no shootings. How is that any different or less valid than a few schools with guns in Texas? Most corrupt politicians are voted out, not "driven out" with guns. I can also give you literally hundreds of instances where people brandishing guns resulted in them getting shot as well as hundreds accidentally killing themselves, their child, loved one, etc.

  12817. I'd like to know the title of that PBS piece... I've watched to segments on PBS with lawyers saying the exact opposite. Depending on the evidence presented at most I could see Zimmerman getting manslaughter instead of 2nd degree murder. However like the prosecution said, it is the responsiblity of the state to find the truth and you do that in a courtroom. You don't simply take the word of a killer and say "oh well, what er ya gonna do?" and "Free Zimmerman!"

  12818. 1. You did refer to gun victims as "savages" more than once. 2. The fact is you failed miserably to prove arrest history within a few "cherry picked" cities has any relevance what so ever other than the relevance you simply "made up". 3. Some advice... As soon as you get into demonizing people (us vs. them), name calling, and labels (liberal, savages, etc), that is when you lose the argument. At that point you stop being logical and start relying on irrational associations & personal bias.

  12823. Ana's right. The burden of proof is so high for Trump and Russia collusion. However for Clinton there is no high standard everyone just assumes "Yeah that's possible so it must have happened". Clearly no one thought it was worth investigating until people thought it could be used politically and Trump thought he could use it to deflect from his own investigation. Cenk is just falling for that bullshit in order to seem fair.

  12824. @luvcheney1 Now you're just avoiding facts. What is the unemployment rate for illegals? You've NO IDEA of what it is. Your entire idea is based on "I know some illegals with jobs". wow That isn't a fact it is simply being willfully ignorant. It's common to find 10 illegals stuffed in a one bedroom apartment or 15 in a two bedroom apartment. They rely on each other just to survive. This is common in slums in many third world countries. Is that what you want for this country?

  12825. There's not a single plan or project ever created that is designed to magically last in perpetuity without changes That's why we started amending the constitution right after it was created... Also the idea that Social Security that has kept most seniors out of poverty for DECADES suddenly needs to be tossed out instead of revised is incredibly dumb. It's like throwing your car away because you realize it needs more gas.

  12826. Your mistake is thinking I care about some Troll on YouTube. Sorry, I don't.

  12827.  @exiledhebrew1994  Democrats added the $2000 checks to the bill and the Republicans blocked it. Have you been paying attention? How many more weeks do you want this to go on? Maybe if the Democrats added those two seats in GA something could get passed under Biden. But literally nothing is on the table right now. That is why Sanders is asking Trump to pass what we have. Do you effing get it? Obviously it's not ideal, but it's something as opposed to NOTHING.

  12828.  @robertbuttry5233  But the Republicans blocked the bill with $2000, so now what? People pretend as if somehow this is just the Democrats and Trump. It's not.

  12829.  @FlyingArtz.  Well... Kentucky just voted to re-elect McConnel, so what now? McConnell has been blocking any additional aid and demanding corporate protections and bailouts for months now.... Republicans like McConnel because he can raise a lot of money from corporate donors and is successful at getting what he wants. Protecting corporate power is the easiest way to re-election because you can raise a lot of money and be the loudest voice in every election regardless. You will have the money on your side as well as the media. So you can say "vote for a new Congress" as much as you want, but as long as there is money in politics you might as well be pissing in the wind. Meanwhile we have a bill on the table that could be the difference between a lot of people going homeless or not. Obviously it's not an ideal bill, but those are the hard choices....

  12831. It's funny how Trump can go on television and brag about how rich and great he is and threaten to force people to die to get the economy going again, but if a woman shows a fridge with ice-cream suddenly she's "out of touch". It's not like I'm a fan of Pelosi or anything, but who is really fixated on this rather than the additional funds she is trying to get to hospitals in the new bill? Pelosi wasn't telling people who are starving to "go eat cake" and James Corden obviously put her up to showing something in her home, did we suddenly expect Pelosi to no longer be rich during this crisis? I kind of feel like this is something that other privileged people get upset about.

  12833. @babyjustwin1 Do I like that Obama signed the NDAA? No. However comparing Obama to the administration that STARTED Indefinate detention, Torture, Abu Ghraib, & Guantanamo Bay in the first place. Is like comparing Texas to North Korea. BTW as many people were screaming under Bush. The constitution does not distinguish between citizens and non-citizens when it comes to due process. So it was as illegal then as it is now.

  12834. The way Ana leans towards authoritarianism frightens me.... Discriminating against people based on body type & punishing people based on food choices is the antithesis of a free society. You cannot fix systemic problems by simply punishing people. Obesity is as much of a symptom of "food deserts", poverty, GMO's, city planning as it is personal choice. People do not go through life wanting to be fat. You're simply taxing people who are already in a bad situation.

  12836. Really hypocritical of TYT... Over the years they've been so lenient when FEMALE teachers were caught having relationships with a MALE kids. They didn't use the word "rape" over and over to imply a violent attack rather than a consensual relationship (albeit underage consent). They didn't act like the teacher was a violent monster that needed to be punished for decades... In fact they even made excuses for the female teacher saying how she "craves attention" that male kids would provide, etc.

  12837. 3. What exactly do you think happens when less people are in poverty and you have more agricultural growth? Duh, the economy grows.... The impact of China's rising middle class on economic growth is well known. 4. Again, no one said "increase the debt". The propoganda that we must slash middle class programs & cut more taxes for the rich (like in Ryan & Pauls's budget) otherwise the debt increases is nonsense. We don't have to throw our economy into a depression to stabolize the deficit.

  12838.  @HesderOleh  Nah... I think there is a bias, but it's more like a bias towards always thinking that the Mossad is up to something combined with being somewhat computer illiterate. Sort of like how some people think that the CIA or "Deep State" is always behind everything.

A bunch of untrained people shooting randomly at where they "think" they shooting is coming from is a stupid idea. Sorry, but despite the movies and the propaganda from gun manufactures trying to get you to buy more guns, you're not a bad ass crack shot and you're not Jason Bourne....

  12847. 2. Your comment was as follows: "You have people in the ghetto pointing loaded guns jokingly at each other" Your earlier comments you referred to only using the "white population" etc. it has a racial tone that I'm not comfortable with. I prefer to stick to numbers. 3. Google "Risks and Benefits of a Gun in the Home". These studies are not talking about "ghettos", "crazies", or any other excuse you're making up to reinforce your beliefs. You're displaying classic "Cognitive Dissonance"

  12848. And... the Bush administration NEVER had close door meetings with insurance companies, wall st, oil companies, etc.? They did all the time... Remember when Bush was questioned about 911 separate from the commission? And any questions had to be done in secret with Cheney present so that they could both get their stories straight? Don't get me wrong. I'd like to see more transparency. However we're hoilding Obama to a COMPLETELY different standard than any other president.

  12849. I find that Conservatives/Libertarians fundementally don't understand the problems with government. They portray "government itself" as some living thinking entity that somehow inherently wants to do "bad things". The reality is "government itself" is only motivated by the people who control it. You either: 1. Have it controlled by an Oligarchy which is essentially what we have today. 2. Have it controlled by the people like the founders intended. Anything else completely misses the point.

  12850. Ana's arguments are really bad.... If Lady Gaga's songs, etc. were a compete rip off. Then Maddana, etc. would sue her. It happens in the music industry all the time. On the other hand it's not like they invented Ice Cream everyone leverages technics that came before them. Also it's not just using the word "Gaga". Clearly they are capitalizing on Lady Gaga's name and fame. I'm with Cenk on being in the middle on this.

  12851. Your mindlessly insults only displays your inability to reason. The fact is: 1. Those were moronic reasons to pull out a gun no matter how you describe how "frightening" it was to get yelled at. 2. One day you'll pull a gun on someone who also has a gun and simply get your ass shot. This is why statistically gun owners are more likely to get killed by guns. However numbers don't matter to emotional people who are fearful & angry. Using a gun as a security blanket is nothing but weakness.

  12852. There is a HUGE double standard.... I have female friends that grab my ass, grab other women's asses, grab other women's breasts, etc. There's always this understanding that if a woman does it then it's okay and fun. I think this stems from the idea that women are seen as having less power than men, sort of like if a child grabbed someone's ass. However if I were to behave in the same way to my female friends it would instantly turn from being "okay" and "fun", to "weird" and "creepy".

  12853. What?! Are we seriously having this conversation about a drunkin prank? Really?.... If it were me, for one I wouldn't be a drunk dumb ass passed out somewhere with idiotic friends.

If it were some chick that rubbed her breast on his neck I doubt it would even be an issue.

  12854. Quarentine is definately needed in cases where a person is a threat to themselves or others. However "punishment" in of itself is not a solution. The US is one of the few industrialized countries that still has the death penelty, our incarceration rate is the highest in the world. Meanwhile having one of the highest rates of violence and homicides per capital in the industrialized world. It should be looked at and treated as a behavioral problem not a "get what they deserve" problem.

  12857.  @jackohere1878  Your ex is a valid character reference when most of your "record" is while running for president... All I can say about the shutdown is that it was one of the few cases where most progressives were 100% behind Pelosi. Tulisi's position had absolutely no nuance for the situation and when pressed as to what she expected Pelosi to do differently, she had no answers. Throwing stones while not offering up any answers of your own (especially when she is in a position to do so) is not leadership. I support Bernie and to a lessor extent Warren. It's been clear for years that they have been more about the ISSUES than running for president. No I'm just sick and tired of people blindly jumping onto a bandwagon based on someone giving them pretty words and little record... Trump and Obama both fell into that category. Obama was far better than Trump obviously, but he was nowhere near the progressive that people thought he was. Tulsi was VERY conservative in the past and against gay marriage at the same time Clinton was. She even worked for an anti-gay organization, yet no one seems to care about that when it comes to Tulsi. As I said over and over. I don't trust her. I don't trust her judgement. Give her a few more years of actually fighting for progressive causes instead of running for president and maybe I will. It's not like she will be too old in 8 years.

They are singled out because of the considerable resources they put behind meddling in our election, and our presidents considerable ties to the Russian oligarchs/mob, and the fact that his campaign changed the party platform behind the scenes to be in favor of Russia on several issues when it was never a campaign issue nor anything that his voters cared about.

Yes simply "getting to the roots of something" should not be political, but that's exactly what you and the "Right wing" did when it came to investigating the Trump administration and Russia.

  12864.  @nexus1g  The policy to criminalize the people and separate families seeking asylum didn't exist until April. Please stop spreading the propaganda that this was the policy all along when it actually wasn't. We don't separate families or traumatize children for speeding violations, jaywalking, littering, or other misdemeanors. Pretending that it's okay to do so because people are foreigners, is just bad people trying to justify heinous actions.

If you run a company you pay the market worth no more, no less. Which is what these companies should do, whether that is 200k, 500k, or 2 million. However we can't guess what that amount should be and just hire any idiot to do the job.

  12882. 1. Your claim was that "goverment taking" is responsible for 3rd world countries. Something you' easily know was false by looking at tax rates. 2. Again there's a difference between oligarchical control and democratic control. You falsly believe all government is oligarchal control. We are behind Germany because of the influence of our own oligarchy. The oligarchs in 3rd world countries are not "government" they run their own lands and compoinds.

  12892. I'm as progressive as they come, but you're starting to jump the shark a little bit on this one... This is starting to be similar to how "the Right" decided to call everything "Islamic Extremism", like with the Orlando club shooter. YES there is an increase in violence against Asian people. YES you can certainly blame Trump and the GOP's rhetoric around Covid for that. HOWEVER... to pretend that the GA shooter and every crime against an Asian person is related to the exact same premise is stretching things too far. If you just wanted to target Asian people in GA there are far easier ways to do that then driving 30 miles to different massage parlors... That's absurd. WAIT for an investigation to take place and more facts to come out before IMMEDIATELY jumping to a conclusion about the mindset of the shooter or how he was encouraged by Trump. PS Glen Greenwald has also been pissing me off over the last few years so I really don't care for his opinions or his grift either.

  12893.  @leiag201  Yes and a major part of that power was the power of the south to keep their slaves.... The only misconception is that there are people who falsely believe that slavery wasn't a BIG part of the decision making process of every southern leader at the time. Even the constitution made concessions to placate the southern slave owners who would not sign it if they didn't have the right to create militias to round up escaped slaves who tried to flee north.

  12894. Why is Cenk on a soap box about religion and morality when we have no idea what the motivation is?.... I kind of lose respect for TYT when they start making speaches about bath salts, gun control, religion, etc. when there aren't even enough facts to warrant throse kind of judgements... You really need to stop paining such a broad brush over every story.

  12895. LOL... Kyle starts out with an easy answer and then ends up saying "there are no easy answers". Look, the only choices in front of anyone right now is to vote for Biden who is the lesser evil AND to push him further Left. Whether it works or not is irrelevant. Those are our options. Period. Thanks for letting us know that the Left should try to "win". That NEVER occurred to anyone before. 😂

  12896. Dude... Yourself and all political YouTubers falls into this same category... As if you haven't made repeated claims of people being bought or corrupt that you could not prove. Heck Jimmy Dore makes things up every single day. So YouTube pundits jumping on Maddow for the same basic punditry THAT YOU ALL DO, is just self serving and gross. Wipe the smug look off your face already, because the only reason why Maddow and Tucker are sued and you're not is because they have money and a larger audience, THAT'S IT.

  12897. 1. Sorry, most Celts were not nobleman... You had *nothing* outside the authority of a tuath. You have far more individualistic "freedom" & social mobility between "states" today. 2. "Communism" never existed. You're regurgitating left over propaganda/brainwashing from decades of the Cold War. 3. I'm surprised you somehow think "different money" allowing for the same collusion, hording, & corruption does anything? You've bought into a silly dogma supported by belief rather than evidence.

  12898. A wall isn't a deterrent for someone simply overstaying their visa and so far I haven't heard any kind of valid argument for why illegal immigration is such a huge issue in the first place. Clearly there's a market for the labor and we benefit greatly from the produce created from all these farms who employ illegal immigrants. I'm sure in some areas like construction there might be some conflicts with legal vs illegal labor, but by and large these people contribute more in taxes than they get back from the government in any kind of benefits so I'm not seeing a "net negative" to our country and economy,

  12901. To play devils advocate with Ben.... 1. The 4th Amendment clearly refers to tangible items NOT virtual info contained on corporate servers where you've ALREADY waived your rights to by agreeing to a "terms of service". 2. Cenk, on MANY occasions you've talked about how the 2nd Amendment wasn't designed for today's technology and that we put LIMITS on the 1st & 2nd Amendments, It's hypocritical for you to NOW say the 4th Amendment has no limits and isn't subject to changes in technology...

  12902. It's not too important when they platform right wing talking points. No one was "laser focused" on trans sports other than the right wing and suddenly they have everything they need when TYT is supporting those same talking points. Right now Ana's words are being used on Fox News' website as propaganda against the left. I've supported TYT since the beginning, but we really don't need that kind of support that platform's and legitimizes right wing talking points. Then using polls to determine whether something should be supported or not is the same strategy of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. I started listening to TYT when Cenk was railing against the Iraq War, which had a 70% approval rating at the time.

  12903. I agree, but its not like North Korea doesn't do it's own war games in that same ocean. We're also leaving South Korea a bit vulnerable and to make that decision without even talking to our ally is rather irresponsible.
    1
  12904. Sairam Sriram, it's not about being a mob boss it's about keeping our promises. It's pretty simple... if we don't keep promises, and do things behind their back then they won't be "allies" anymore. This is basic diplomacy. Something that Trump is clearly clueless about.
    1
  12905. Did I say we should have military bases and military exercises everywhere? Umm.... In case you didn't realize it foreign affairs is far more complicated than any family commitment.... Anytime you pull out (or put in) a huge amount of resources without talking it over with your allies it's a problem. Not sure why that is difficult to understand. Clearly the South Korean government were completely thrown off and unsettled by the announcement and didn't know how to respond. That's not what you do to allies. You say "Hey we're thinking about ending our joint military exercises. How do you feel about that and what will the impact be?" Even our own government is thrown off by it. With Congress saying that the exercises will continue and the Pentagon not knowing what to do. A government in disarray is not what you do when going into a negotiation. However this is exactly what Kim Jong Un will use in order to spin narrative in his favor. Again, I have no problems with getting rid of all our military bases, but doing so without even considering the situation with South Korea or Japan is just really dumb.

  12906. Just search for "harvard school public health firearms" there are several studies referenced there. Right... So somehow in your mind you think people who have spent years in research and working their doctorate degrees never heard of "crime statistics" or how to read them.... Please tell me that you're not dumb enough to believe that if we got rid of gun control in major cities like NY, Chicago, and LA that it would reduce gun violence? You seriously cannot be that brainwashed.

  12910. @ReefThinker Sorry I misread. Yes I think most people agree that defense needs to be cut drastically. Though I wouldn't cut the spending I'd replace the military spending with infrastructure spending so that troops coming home will have jobs while we build up our country/economy. As far as emplyee expenses the rich do not write paychecks, businesses do, and because of the tax code there is more incentive for a person to take money OUT of a business in bonuses rather than keeping it in.

  12911. 1. There's no point in listening to someone who doesn't know there's a huge difference between Astrophysics and Biology..... 2. Science is based on increasing knowledge through constant observation, testing, and mathematics. To say that a belief in science is the same as someone believing "everything is true" in a book compiled 200 years ago is absolutely absurd.

Your blatant bias to "your culture" is obvious... My point was that women had far more equality & governing roles than the Europeans. Many cities Native Americans created lasted far longer than the existence of the US. 3. Money is the root disease that led to several private central banks, war profiteering, and hording of resources/power.

  12914.  @therealmeowkitty  What does banning parties have to do with tyranny? You do realize that "political parties" are not something that's in the actual constitution. In fact Madison warned about the influence of "factions" in Federalist No 10. They were never supposed to be a part of how they envisioned how government works. The fact that you believe that these corporate-like political parties are somehow synonymous with democracy is pretty frightening.
    1
  12915.  @therealmeowkitty  Number one, parties do not represent political choices, they represent "branding". It is the branding that gets politicians elected through advertising and carefully crafted messaging that is also paid for. How those politicians vote is based mostly on who pays them (or who will pay them after leaving office) and who got them elected. Which is usually not aligned with the people who actually voted for them other than a few show votes and selective posturing to support the "brand". Number two, the fact that Madison joined a political party is irrelevant to the problems he described. The problem still exists whether he was able to prevent it or not. He admitted to having no idea how to fix the problem even though it was a real threat to democracy. This country would be far better off ignoring these stupid partisan wars that are all highly manufactured and instead focused on which policies are actually popular or beneficial. We waste billions of dollars and countless lives on nothing but tribalism.
    1
  12916.  @therealmeowkitty  That's the brand containing dozens of different strains of "libertarianism", because no-one has figured out how society works beyond what's in each person's imagination. Then every once in a while you'll have a billionaire coopt and promote the brand so that he can cut his taxes and deregulate his businesses while pretending it's for everyone else's benefit. When a party gets any power, it's always going to be for the corporation's benefit. Always.

  12918. Sorry, but those two "incidents" with your ex were in fact STUPID reasons to pull out a gun. Someone making sexual comments or getting yelled at on the street is called "life", not reasons to pull out a fucking gun... The fact is if either one of those people ALSO had a gun, your ex-girl might be DEAD instead of just insulted. If someone pulls on you, you're likely to pull on them and suddenly a disagreement becomes deadly. One of the many reasons why gun owners are more likely to get shot.

  12919. Sorry Cenk, but a lower level person saying that there are problems with marines boarding a Libyan plane is NOT the same as saying the President and Hillary Clinton ordered marines to stand down. One is an understanding of what happened. The other is damn lie.

  12920. Sorry but Trump is NOTHING like Bernie Sanders.... To pretend a life long con man is similar to Sanders simply because Sanders didn't attack establishment Dems is nothing more than a grift as well. Sanders actually used his campaign funding and infrastructure to help people during the pandemic well after he conceded to Bide. The reality is Trump has ALWAYS only cared about himself. He has ALWAYS conned people out of money, You would have to be a total idiot to be surprised by this after looking at Trump's entire history of shady business practices.

  12921. I'm pretty sure all that "criticism" came after conservative pundits spent days pretending it was a wild success based on pay it forward tickets. I'm also sure you have no data supporting the idea that "criticism" caused people to go see it.

  12922.  @rogirek3362  Sigh... 🤦‍♂ It's as if people can't think beyond "the last thing that happened." Ukraine has NOTHING to do with Afghanistan. The US invading a country, putting boots on the ground, occupying it for years, while supporting a fake government that would fail without US boots on the ground, is not the same as providing support to an allied country defending itself. Ukraine is Afghanistan to Russia, do you not get that? Do you not get that Russia is in a quagmire that they started? Christ people, not everything is Iraq and Afghanistan.

And completely ignores hundreds of years of slavory, imperialism, child labor, war in the middle east (probably half of modern wars have profit motivations behind them), and not to mention the root of corruption in every government on the planet.... Not to say that there isn't anything good about profit, but to ignore the downsides is foolish. Sorry, the "free market" supported child pornography. GOVERNMENT stopped it.

  12926. Whatever Cenk's defense it is illogical for him to apply a different standard for "asian porn" being popular in CA vs "ebony porn" being popular the South. It's not like CA is mostly asian or anything. Yet somehow 13% in his mind is enough to justify people in CA having a fetish. Meanwhile with a 30% black population ebony porn being popular is somehow shocking. It's a double standard... Which is why this clip is more about Cenk's prenotions rather than anything remotely scientific.

  12928. Cenk is right. Not participating is making a choice and ALL voting is a moral choice. You may not like your choices, but allowing more of the policies that you don't like just because your choices aren't ideal is the morally inferior position.

  12929. @liberalguy513 "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin 1. The fact is we haven't had any planes "blow up in midair". 2. Nearly every terrorist attempt against a plane (including 911) could have been prevented well in advance using conventional means. 3. You are still far more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash let alone a terrorist attempt. Fear over reason is never a good idea.

  12930. Let's not forget that Regan continued his cozy relationship with Iran during the Iran–Contra affair.... Which allowed the CIA to funnel crack into poor black neighborhoods while at the same time making crack more illegal than cocaine. Reagan was a piece of crap.

  12931. neurotransmitter Jews are white people in this country, they haven't had anything worse in this country than black people. Not to say that Jews don't face some discrimination, but it isn't anywhere close to the systemic racism against black people according to police shootings, incarceration, jobs, etc. It's all pretty clear from the statistics.
    1
  12932. neurotransmitter I'm not "acting like" anything dude. I'm just acknowledging the facts. You should try it sometime. I very well know that based on my upbringing I've had lots of advantages compared to people who grew up in a trailer park or even some of my friends, simply because I grew up in the suburbs in decent neighborhoods, decent schools, etc. And quite frankly I've been lucky. I also know that statistically that isn't the case for millions of other black people who grew up in inner cities like in Baltimore, Chicago, NY etc. and there are historical reasons for why black people were concentrated into shitty neighborhoods with little opportunity. I ALSO know that if I'm stopped by the police there are a lot more assumptions that the police would make about me based on my skin color than someone else. There are a lot of racist assholes out there who have no problems with ruining a person's life. "you see all kinds of people getting beat by police. it's a police problem not a race problem." It's both actually.... Statically, it is indeed a race problem. The numbers don't lie. For example black and white people use drugs at the same rate, but black people are far more likely to go the jail and get longer jail time for the same offenses. Unarmed black people are also more likely to get shot by police than unarmed white people. About 88% of the people police stopped in the Stop & Frisk program were black & Latino, meanwhile 89% of those people were completely innocent. So basically minorities were harassed daily by the police daily for no reason. It is ALSO a fact that police are trained to shoot first and ask questions later and escalate situations to violence when they don't need to be. They have been stocking up on military weapons and riot gear. This effects everyone, regardless of race. Acknowledging these facts doesn't somehow mean that just because I'm black it automatically means that I'm more disadvantaged than you or any white person in the country. That's not what I'm saying, that isn't what anyone is saying. It just means that if everything else was equal, with the same background, opportunities, etc. That there are still advantages and disadvantages that are based entirely on race. Such as hiring for jobs, police conduct, incarceration, etc. as shown in many studies. This is something that should be fixed culturally and politically along with the other issues with the police.

  12934.  @sallyjackson8129  What's not logical is for someone to lie about Covid not being serious, lie about it magically disappearing in April, and doing next to nothing to stem the thousands of Americans dying every week.... You would have to be a total idiot to not think that the opposing party wouldn't capitalize one such a catastrophic failure of basic leadership... You would also have to be an idiot to not capitalize on the incompetence of the opposing party when the GOP decided it would be a good idea to promote not wearing masks and gathering at rallies in the middle of the largest pandemic in a hundred years. ... When your opponent becomes a "super spreader" and catches the very disease he should be preventing, all while thousands of Americans die DAILY, then spends the last months of his presidency lying about voter fraud, you would have to be the worst politician in US history to not point out something so obvious. 400,000 dead by the end of January was predicted at the end of summer and instead of taking it seriously and DOING something about it the last administration just laughed it off and pretended it was fake news. Trump and anyone who supported that jackass can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

  12937. It's interesting how we can have Trump directly threatening media outlets, threatening to change libel laws so that he could jail reporters, revoking press passes, calling them the "enemy of the people", and goading his supporters into attacking them. Meanwhile the press secretary suggests that Spotify do something about misinformation on their platform and suddenly it's a constitutional crisis... I also like how Ryan suggests that somehow the press goaded Trump into authoritarianism. Weird how when Democrats are in the Whitehouse the narrative is that they are all powerful and can control social media with just a mere suggestion, but when Trump was in Whitehouse, he somehow has no power and is controlled by the press and the "deep state".

If we have pushed Obama harder to prosecute the people who participated in war crimes, lies, and undermining of our democracy perhaps we wouldn't be sitting here trying to barely hold our country together today?

  12940. "Rich" is relative... It's probably not much different than now some poor people in 3rd world countries look at typical Americans. I'm nowhere near Bezos, but someone making a dollar a week in a sweatshop is nowhere near me. Think about the phrase "1st world problems".... Then just scale it up to the ultra rich in this country. We all have problems, and being in that income bracket is often times much worse for your mental health. They can't just take their wealth and "be happy" because that's not the world they live in. Just like we can't take all the money we make relative to a sweatshop worker and "be happy". That's not how it works.

You very well could induce cancer in someone through food, water, radiation, etc. Not to say that the US would do such a thing, but it's entirely possible. It's also not surprising that these countries which have been subject to many covert attacks by the US over the years would think that it's a possiblity.

  12944. People project a lot of bullshit machinations on Clinton and that includes you Kyle.... Does it make since for Clinton to vet Warren as VP? OF COURSE, she was (and still is) one of the most popular senators in the country. I'm sure she vetted a lot of people. Did it make sense for Warren to keep that door open? OF COURSE because everyone thought that Clinton had the best chance of winning in 2016, even YOU Kyle, so having Warren as a VP would have been FAR better for the country. Just because it did not work out that way doesn't make all the decisions everyone made "bad decisions". Elizabeth Warren's endorsement of Bernie would have in NO WAY won him the primary. The people who supported Clinton were not going to magically turn around and support Bernie because of anything Warren said at that point.. Just like Warren's endorsement of Hillary didn't do anything either. Warren was in a bad spot, and holding onto anger over a meaningless endorsement is just dumb. Do we care about policy or do we care about platitudes?

It's perfectly okay to say: "I don't agree with the truckers protesting in Canada, but I agree with their right to protest", but when you start saying things like "they've done illegal things" then you sound no different than Fox News talking about BLM protests. It's cringy... You can disagree with people without trying to pretend that they are all evil or tainted in some way.

  12948. 1. Communism never implied "no personal property" so that's a moot thought experiment. 2. The strict definition of "Anarchy" IS without laws. There are also MANY forms of anarchism (even "Anarchist Communism") so it's kind of pointless to talk about something so subjective. It seems that you are just using the word "Anarchy" to project some kind of utopian ideal. It's time we lose these silly "ideologies" and rely on science & technology to solve problems instead of arguing over "beliefs"

It's a constant and overt problem meaning there ISN'T true democracy for others. And I understand why Israeli Jews would have reservations about Arabs and vice versa, because of constant violence. However my point is that the catalyst for this is basing a state on relgion or race. It has proven itself time and time again to be a BAD idea.

  12959.  @johnnytr0uble  You would think so, but my guess is that most of these people are able to rationalize everything they do... They probably don't see it as "hate", most likely they just think of it as "This is a perspective that people want to hear. I'm the messenger for a perspective that doesn't often have a voice". In their minds they may even see themselves as being noble in a way. When they get paid for the "act" they put on, they just see themselves as being good at their jobs. Even Megan McCain on the View has often said things like "I'm here to voice a point of view that doesn't get heard in the mainstream media". We assume that these people are voicing their own opinions, but a lot of times they just aren't. Both Candace Owens and Megan McCain were far more progressive 5 years ago and decided to change for fame/money.

  12963.  Seth Pinkney  Most people sitting in detention centers right now for weeks, sometimes months without due process are trying to LEGALLY immigrate through the asylum process. Which has been part of our laws for decades. Trump decided to criminalize and separate children from people trying to LEGALLY seek asylum. Trump has also been trying to restrict other forms of LEGAL immigration. Sorry, but It's all about race and demonizing immigrants for political influence. You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Under Obama unauthorized immigration dropped to it's lowest point in over a decade. There are far more humane ways to handle border security other than creating concentration camps. Just because someone is against the death penalty for speeding, doesn't mean they are against the concept of "speed limits". Stop presenting nonsense false choice fallacies.

  12964.  Seth Pinkney  There has been a 30% increase in hate crimes since Trump's campaign. Over a dozen LGBT people have been murdered this year. Trump has wide support from white supremacists all over this country. According to the FBI most domestic terrorist attacks in the past couple years are coming from white supremacists and the right wing. I'm talking REAL issues that are effecting REAL Americans especially black and brown people who have an effing TARGET on their heads these days and you want to give me some bullshit "both sides" argument? Do you know how many death threats that those 4 congresswomen have gotten since Trump started attacking them? Or is that not a problem for you? Tell me what do you want to do about this situation? Because if it's "nothing" then you can go screw yourself.... Every modern democracy has pretty much the same number of mentally ill people as we do, only THIS COUNTRY has a crazy amount of mass shootings.

  12965.  Seth Pinkney  --"Did you know that Obama was actually tougher on border security than Trump? " I know that Obama was known as the "Deporter and Chief" and many people on the left were trying to change those policies. Especially during the many discussions on immigration reform that people were trying to get passed during those years. Reform that people like Mitch filibustered. Which is why we ended up with DACA. I'm very well aware of Obama's deportation record. However what Obama DIDN'T do was criminalize asylum seeking, separate families, or pull aid and support from central american countries that are experiencing violence. People like you don't actually give a shit enough about people or the issues. So stop wasting my time with your middle of the road apathy for everything. Go shrug your shoulders somewhere else and leave things to people who actually care.

  12966. Obama NOT prosecuting the Bush administration is what led to Trump... Giving Trump a pardon is basically giving a green light to open brazen criminality in the White House and beyond. The Nuremberg Trials were healthy for the world to deal with the horrors that fascism caused. Taking it lightly only invites those horrors again. Furthermore, pardoning Trump only validates the conspiracists who claim that the only reason Trump is being indicted is to keep him from running. So you're actually only making the problem WORSE by feeding directly into those conspiracies.

I've been watching TYT for the past 3-4 years and over the past year I have noticed story after story where Cenk & Ana have been OVERLY PC. So yeah I will call them out on it instead of just saying "awesome". That's called "discourse".

  12969. Seems like the guy's parents stole his money form being a child actor so he decided to sue someone else for some quick cash.... The age of consent in most of the US is 17 and sometimes 16. Clearly they're using the fact that he was technically under the legal limit in CA to extort cash. Can a guy be a victim? Of course, but based on their messages back and forth there is nothing suggesting that he was.

  12970.  @empanada223  So your argument is "things break"? LOL... Guess what? These systems have redundancy because if you don't have air on a plane you die... 😂 You have much bigger problems on a plane if you can no longer breath Genius. 😂 A "piece of cloth" is not sufficient to stop Omicron sorry. You need an n95 or greater. Again, if you're not following any actual science then all you're doing is virtue signaling over a policy you have no idea whether is actually effective or not.

  12971.  @empanada223  By that logic we should all carry oxygen tanks, just in case. 😂 Sorry, but that argument is incredibly dumb and apparently you don't realize that airplanes have oxygen masks that drop from the ceiling so that people can breath when the main cabin loses air pressure. But your brilliant idea is that if those systems fail and people have no air to breath, then they should just wear cloth masks 😂 People get so caught up in a culture war that they end up sounding like complete idiots. You really need to come out your bubble. I'm not the one virtue signaling over these mandates going away. If you're going to do that, then you need to provide some clear evidence on its effectiveness instead of just assuming you know more about the air quality inside planes than the people who build and operate them.

It's only going to get you and your friends and family killed. The founders created a democracy so we could bring about peaceful changes which is how we became a strong nation. They didn't create a democracy so that the country could turn into Afghanistan any time a group of people didn't agree with something.

  12974. 1. Believing you're going to magically keep guns away from criminals, accidents, suicidal tendencies, etc. is just as dumb as thinking you're going to magically keep all cars away from drunks, bad drivers, & accidents. 2. Again, guns per capita were ALREADY lower in the UK before the ban. Hence fewer homicides. 3. You're more likely to die from a gun with guns in the home. It is statistically proven that guns do not make people safer. Facts don't change because you choose not to believe them.

  12975. "There is a limit to how much you can tax" There is also a limit to how much water you can drink. Does that mean we should all stop drinking water?

The vast majority have no idea how FaceBook makes money. Most would assume it's advertising like most other internet sites. People wrote this story because using personal information doesn't occur to most. Initially FaceBook didn't have any business model.

  12977. 09:20 Gee Cenk I remember when Obamacare was being debated you were against Single Payer... The furthest that you would go is being in favor of a public option.

  12978. "Anything can happen in America, so therefore I need a bump stock" yet somehow a rocket launcher is ridiculous even though according to the caller "anything can happen".... The caller is just basing everything on his feelings and nothing else, a typical conservative mindset. You're not going to be able to talk through his irrational fears by pointing out the excess deaths we have in this country due to the over abundance of firearms. All he cares about is the imaginary scenario in his mind where he gets to play John Wick that is only reinforced by the one time he scared someone away by saying he's going to get his gun.

  12979. 1. I suggest you look up the definitions and usages of the term "we". 2. No, studies and research is used by scientists to find the truth behind the world we live in. I suggest you look into that... 3. Sadly the only reason you're mentioning "Al Sharpton" (when he has *zero* to do with this discussion) is because of the propaganda you listen to decided to make him a talking point. So you're just blindly parroting that talking point.

  12980. Sorry.... I don't care how hard you work or how smart you think you are. You're not worth 1,000 times or 10,000 times more than the lowest paid worker in your company. And that goes for Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as well. Just because you make a billion dollars managing a hedgefund doesn't make you smarter, a harder worker, or more valuable to society than a scientist working on alternative energy or a cure for cancer. You're rich because you can play a game better than most nothing more.

Sorry, but Zim's story falls apart easily. -"Even if Zim were the original aggressor, that doesn't preclude him from stand your ground protection" Yes it does.... Read the law & use common sense. Stand Your Ground doesn't mean I can't attack an innocent then shoot them if they fight back.

  12985. Kyle, the problem with your commentary is that you pretend that the Trump presidency is normal except for Trump being more honest. That was also your mistake during the campaign. For some reason you give the benefit of the doubt over and over to Trump, which is something that you would never do for Clinton. Do you honestly think this is a question of "policies" vs tweets or establishment vs populism? NOOOO.... The reason so many people who are inside the administration concerned is because the guy represents a threat to our democracy in a way that no other president has been. The guy is losing his mind, making conflicting orders, is willing to start wars on a whim. He's not cozying up to dictators to further US interests in oil, etc., he's doing so because he LIKES the way they rule there country and would like to "rule" that way in the US. That is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT..... The fact that you pretend this is some kind of "deep state" bullshit makes me think that you've lost your mind.

    1
  12988.  @clareshaughnessy2745  So an employee not reading into a subtext and doing what they want is somehow a bad thing compared to pretending that they're being coerced and showing up to work anyway? Sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense to me. People like Dave would rely on people like you who would show up to work thinking they need to when they really don't. There have been studies showing that people who think they need to work extra hours and spend more time at a job don't actually get ahead compared to other workers. Don't be that person who gets taken advantage of at a workplace because you're doing things you really don't need to be doing.

She will have to raise that child with no healthcare, no education (except highschool), no government assistance.... just boot straps. Little infrastructure, little opportunity, and low non-union wages means she will live and raise her child in the same crime ridden, drug infested, life her mother is in now. Meaning her child has a higher chance of ending up being just another criminal and rapest. GOP 2012 !!!

All they really care about is a white male who talks tough, that's honestly all there is to it.

Trump is a true threat to our democracy, even if he isn't "colluding" he may end up damaging the credibility of our country and our democratic process beyond repair.

  13001. At the same time there are dozens of stories every year of doctors who have killed children through drugs and other unnecessary treatments. I'm not saying what the parents did is right by any means. I have no idea what the situation was, but tight or wrong most parents try to do what's best for their child, even if it turns out to be stupid. Imprisoning them isn't going to make them feel worse than they already do.

  13002. This is what happens when a society cares more about money over actual "value". You can easily have people that learn how to play the "game of money" while leaching value from the rest of society. Money was meant to be a tool to facilitate the exchange of value, not a means to an end.

Second, No one expected Obama to step in and stop the death by firing squad that occurred a little while ago. Third, I have no idea what the details are in this case. All I hear is judgement & outrage over the method of execution, which IMO is a completely seperate issue like debating the death penalty.

TYT one of the few outlets that report on the issues of hurricane management in Puerto Rico, Texas, North Carolina, etc. They continued to report on Flint MI, while other outlets long since moved on. They actually give a shit about people like you unlike the president.

However I've come across many calling themselves "libertarian" who seriously believe in NO government.

If you think a 17 year olds brain is too "stupid" or too "under developed" to vote. Why should being in the military change that fact? It's one thing to appreciate one's service, but we don't need to throw our judgement out the window because of it. Especially when people (kids) go into the military for a variety of reasons not just "serving their country"

You're an irrational person who is only interested in misleading people. If you cared at all about the truth you would be typing out facts instead you would rather use your time making things up.

  13022.  @Marss13z  That is nothing more than regurgitating the bs that Trump makes up about himself Again, Trump being wrong has cost a hundred thousand lives at least due to the fact that he didn't take it seriously, well after the virus was declared a global health emergency. You do realize 6 months ago there were only 15 cases right? Do you not realize that dividing the population of the US by "15" six months ago did not tell you that there would be 140,000 dead Americans today?? Nor does the number today tell you how bad it will be 6 months from now. You people are profoundly DUMB and your stupidity has let thousands of people in this country die. I'm sick and tired of it.

  13025. My logic is straight forward: In society GOVERNMENT determines an individual's rights. Philosophy/Morality effect the laws of that government but it does not grant rights to any one person. I can quote all day from the bible, koran, john locke, thomas pain, james madison, etc. but until a law is made, and that law is enforced... The right DOES NOT EXIST Not to long ago woman DID NOT HAVE the same rights as men Today gay couples DO NOT HAVE the same rights as hetesexual couples.

  13026. Senator..... You're confused. You're supposed to be fighting for the rights of the *individual*. The individual has a right to choose contraception or not. An institution doesn't have the right to *force* their beliefs upon them by not complying to health standards. A religious institution can onvince people to not use contraception, abortion, etc. all they want. However it is not their place to purposely make it difficult for others to access that healthcare if they choose to do so.

Between that and all the pork given to states each year its on the same level as the federal government if not more. Pushing power to the sates simply increases the billions lost to corrupt contracts given out all the time to local businesses that give big campaign donations. You're simply exacerbating corruption, not fixing it.

  13029. Sorry, but the laws of this country aren't based on your feelings. There are plenty of 3rd world countries you can move to that all have low taxes. The only reason the monopoly money we covet has any value to begin with is because it is backed by a stable powerful government.

  13031.  @youknow9092  Tell me, what bill has been passed that has raises taxes on everyone? What specific regulations are you referring to? What bill has passed or even proposed that has free college? What new federal jobs are you referring to? You claimed that things have happened that are destroying the country. None of these things have happened... Again... Regurgitating a bunch of talking points you've been programmed isn't really convincing me that you're thinking for yourself. You haven't exactly explained any position on those policies. 20% of the country is already on Medicare and most of those people enjoy their health coverage far more than people who use private insurance.... Nearly every developed country in world has some sort of single payer system and get far better results and pay less per capita than we do in this country. So why on earth would anyone want to pay more to get less coverage? Why would anyone think that 600,000 families going bankrupt every year due to medical debt is a good idea? Why would anyone think that 40,000 people dying each year from lack of health coverage is a good idea? You like insurance companies so much that you would choose to pay them $1.50 for every $1 they give to hospitals and doctors? Sounds pretty dumb to me.

  13032.  @youknow9092  1. You lied repeatedly about what I said even after I clarified it. 2. The founding fathers actually disagreed on centralized power. Very similar to the disagreements we have today. Thomas Paine and Hamilton had different ideas on government than Jefferson. So this idea that somehow they were all of the same mind means you know little of the founding of this country beyond the talking points you were fed. 3. In other words the system of government determines how well it functions. Which is exactly what I said.. A "dictatorship" and a "representative democracy" are both "governments", but there is a big difference in how they are run. 4. --"They are undeveloped countries due to lack of wealth. " No kidding Genius. 😂 Stop avoiding the question. Why do almost all 1st world countries have bigger governments (based on tax revenue as a percentage of GDP) while all 3rd world countries have small governments? I wasn't the one who made the idiotic argument that "government size" was directly related to poverty and wealth. That was YOU... People who actually care about "facts" can prove what they say. You act as if I haven't heard the same talking points from other drones before. Can you think for yourself or not?
    1
  13033.  @youknow9092  1. Simply calling something "verified facts" doesn't somehow absolve you from making up what I said, lol...😂 2. Nope you're just plain wrong. Even Jefferson eventually came around and founded the first public college in Virginia. In order to solve things like "illiteracy" the founders created public schools. In order to solve communication they established a post office and roads. . 3. -- "the system of government determines how well we function, no the size of the government" Again YOU are the one who suggested government being "evil", authoritarianism, and economic prowess has to do with "size". Not me. 😂 So are you now retracting your statement? 4. These were your words, not mine: --"I believe that smaller government with less regulations where people are more responsible for themselves is inherently better than a larger government that over taxes people so that people can be reliant on the government." --"Sorry but excessive taxation or what in reality is redistribution of wealth has never historically brought people out of poverty, it only ensures everyone sinks further into it." So I'll asking you AGAIN... Provide evidence in the world that countries with less taxes are more prosperous than those with more taxes. Because ALL 1st world countries (unless you're banking center) have far more taxes than 3rd world countries. Also provide evidence that progressive taxation (which is wealth redistribution) causes more poverty, because all 1st world countries have progressive taxation. You're mindlessly repeating someone else's talking points that aren't based on anything.

  13034.  @youknow9092  1. Sorry, but you don't get to reinterpret my own comments and pretend that your interpretation is a "verifiable fact", lol 🤣 Do you even know what you're arguing at this point? 😂 2. Creating public schools, post offices, roads, etc. means they were accepting of policies that benefit the general welfare of the population. They didn't use terms like "large", so you can stop lying about their intent. The fact that they advocated for a central government at all was a huge departure from what was established at the time. People like me also "value basics for society" as well. Which is a lot different today than it was 250 years ago. College is more important than basic literacy. Broadband and cellphones are more important than delivering letters on horseback. 3. "government is inherently evil" Sorry, but you sound like an complete joke when you call things "evil". Government isn't evil because we need one to govern our society. It's like saying cars or airplanes are "evil". I'm glad you're finally saying "size is irrelevant". We finally agree on something. 4. --"America pre 1950s proves nations with less tax ensure their citizens are more prosperous" You mean during the great depression? 😂 I hate to break it to you, but post WW2 after Medicare, social security, and even an 90% upper income tax rate this country had the most prosperous times in our history. Millions of people were literally lifted our of poverty, we created the "middle class", and the GDP grew like crazy. If you actually cared about people being prosperous. You would look at poverty, wealth per capita, education, health, etc. But you're not.... All you're doing is repeating the empty slogans you were programed with. --" what right is it of yours or anyone elses to take something from one person just to give it to another? " I'm not personally taking anything. It's called a "social contract". You might as well ask: "What right do you have to tell people to stop at a red light so that other people can go at a green light?" These types of straw man questions is how people like you get fooled by propaganda. Money itself is also a social contract. Our society (government) is the reason it has value. You are not personally printing money and I'm not "deciding for you" that it has value. We are participating in a society that makes it legal tender.

  13035.  @youknow9092  1. It's called making a straw man argument. As you've done several times now. Again, you don't get to reinterpret my statements in order have something to argue against, especially after I long since clarified what I meant. People who have facts, state facts, they don't just say "verifiable fact" and "evidence" over and over. 😂 2. You speak out against "basic infrastructure" anytime someone proposes basic infrastructure and then you respond by crying and moaning about "socialism". etc. without actually ever even thinking about it. Again, founders like Hamilton and Thomas Paine had no problems with a strong centralized authority. Stop pretending as if all founders thought the same way, they didn't. They were negotiating a new government with states that already had their own power. Wow you really don't get it do you?... Infrastructure is never required. We don't NEED publicly funded roads, bridges, a post office, libraries, public schools, police, fireman, etc. There are plenty of 3rd world counties that lack the "basic infrastructure" we have in this country. The reason why Jefferson advocated for public education wasn't because he thought society could not function without it. It was a way of making society BETTER and more competitive with the rest of the world. Your problem is short sightedness which the founders did not have. 3. The judiciary as well as "checks and balances" are all part of the same government... Stop talking about things in terms of "evil". It's cringe and you sound like a little kid who has been brainwashed by religious dogma. A clear indication that you're not coming from a rational place. 4. You said "pre-1950s" proves your claim about taxes and the 20s and 30s were before the 1950s... So are you changing your argument? Social Security was signed into law in 1935. The top tax rate was over 90% in 1943 and remained high until the late 60s. It was dropped in the 70s. You pretend other people don't know the economic history of this country when you clearly do not... You could have easily checked those figures yourself, but instead of verifying your claims, you would rather believe in a made up fairytale. Money is a social contract and so is property. Please look up the term so you know what it means. You don't have "personal property" without a government enforcing your right to it.
    1
  13036.  @youknow9092  Whoops, in my last comment I should have said in 1944 the top tax rate was over 90% (94% actually) it was changed in 1943 and was enacted until 1944. Since I actually care about facts I try to be accurate. The upper income tax rate was dropped to 77% in 1964 and then to 71% in 1971 and then it was dropped to 50% and then 28% in the 1980s. The middle class started shrinking in the 1970s and had the biggest drops in the 80s and 90s when we started slashing upper income taxes. There is no question that we had some of the highest GDP growth periods during the highest upper income tax rates. Which entirely disproves the propaganda you've been fed. The fact is whether you are looking at the history of this country or when you compare 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world countries around the world. There is no evidence to support your claims. Your ideology is based on little more than faith and wishful thinking with no real world evidence for it.
    1
  13037.  @youknow9092  1. You actually didn't provide any evidence for why 3rd world countries with fewer taxes and regulations perform far worse than 1st world countries and you're still avoiding it. 2. Again.... There is no infrastructure that is "necessary". All infrastructure is there to make society better. So when you use vague terms like "necessary", you're not saying anything. 3. Please provide evidence that "most" founders disagreed with a "strong central government". I have given you several examples of founders who did not, while you haven't provided a shred of evidence for your claims. Hamilton, Madison, George Washington, and Ben Franklin were all considered "Federalists". 4. Wong again. Everyone does not use every street, sidewalk, or bridge. Not everyone requires police or fire departments. Not everyone has kids who benefit from public education. Not everyone has rural routes that post offices are required to service that are more costly than city addresses. There are literally thousands of services that the government provides which are not used by "everyone". Social services are no different. They stabilize society because they're available for people when they need them, and limit people falling further into poverty which only creates a drain on society. For example when Medicare and Social Security were introduced people suddenly didn't have to rely on their children for care. This allowed the middle class to flourish, dramatically cut poverty, and improved most of society. 5. Again, "checks and balances" ARE government. Whether it's a monarchy, dictatorship, or a representative democracy. These are all forms of "government". Calling things "evil" and making assertions you have no evidence for only means you exchanged one religion for another. 6. No it just means you suddenly decided to move the goal post (again), because you were wrong and didn't know what you were talking about.... However you can find a dozen of economic panics that hit the poor hard before 1913, such as the Long Depression from 1873 to 1896. Never mind the fact that the middle class didn't reach its peak in this country until the government got involved in a major way during the 20th century. Moving the goal post to over a hundred years ago is just desperation at this point and you still haven't provided any actual evidence for your claims. Taxes were raised dramatically AFTER the Great Depression Genius. 😂 Furthermore the Fed had even more power after the depression and we still had rapid growth during the 40's, 50's, & 60s. Once again you have no evidence for your claims The Constitution is the very foundation of our government. So you're basically just proving my point. 😂 Again, the only reason you can "own property" is because of the government. It doesn't happen through magic, wishful thinking, or whatever religious dogma you follow.
    1
  13038.  @youknow9092  1. LMAO... Sorry, It's not my job to prove your false statements. That's not how this works. I'm the only one providing numbers and references here. Meanwhile you're just regurgitating dogma. 2. Again "functioning" is relative. Many would argue that tens of thousands of people dying each year from lack of health care coverage is not "functional" or hundreds of thousands going bankrupt from medical debt. Many in 3rd world counties might argue that paved roads aren't necessary for their society. Illiteracy was consider "dysfunctional" which was why public schools were introduces. Highways weren't a thing until after the war and people say how useful they were in Germany. Child labor was a thing until we decided it wasn't good for society. Functional society is always relative to the time period. 3. And you haven't provided a shred of evidence for that claim. I listed out the founders who are considered "federalists" and you just regurgitated your religious dogma. In fact the "federalist" papers were written by people who promoted strong centralized government. The Anti-federalists were against that. Try actually researching a bit before making claims that you cannot proved. 4. Everyone does not use every bridge, road, sidewalk, street. Many people don't even own cars who are paying for automobile infrastructure. We all pay for handicap access that we don't all use. Again, you are just plain wrong. 5. Do you seriously not understand that checks and balances are part of our government? 😂 They are not something outside of the government. It is the government. 6. A mistake that you kept repeating and arguing? 🤔 Regardless.... as I clearly demonstrated there is no evidence that life was better before 1913, especially for every day people. There were a series of panics and economic depressions that were far more frequent than they are today. Furthermore the country grew like crazy in the 40s, 50s, 60s, during high upper income taxes and after the introduction of Medicare and Social Security. We literally cut poverty dramatically during that period. However facts and numbers seem not to matter to people who are brainwashed by a political religious dogma that isn't based on anything other than the propaganda that comes out of think tanks serving the rich.
    1
  13039.  @youknow9092  1. So in other words. You have no evidence or a real argument. 🤡 2. "Functional" for life, means healthcare. "Functional" is always relative to your goal. If you don't care about people dying then healthcare isn't important. If you don't care about illiteracy then education isn't important. The founders decided to care about literacy because they wanted our country to be competitive with the rest of the world. It's a pretty simple concept. 3. Saying you have done research without actually providing it, means you're lying. I gave you specifics and named actual founders. Please give me a break down of the founders and which ones were Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Provide evidence that the people who created our government were somehow against it's creation or against centralizing power. 4. --"everyone does not use every single street, bridge or sidewalk is irrelevant. " It isn't irrelevant because that's how society works... I don't have to use every single road, bridge, handicap rail, handicap ramp, for society as a whole to benefit. I don't have to use libraries for public libraries to have been beneficial to our society. I don't have to use public schools for public schools to be beneficial. Again, Not everyone uses a research or land grant... Not everyone uses every road, bridge. Not everyone uses public schools. libraries. Not everyone calls the police. or fire department, coast guard, or an ambulance. However these things literally transformed our society for the better. Do you think the founders believed that everyone would use a public school? 5. You might as well say that a judiciary was created to judge things. 😂 Again, the entire system of governing IS *GOVERNMENT*. Please show me where the founders thought that government itself is "evil"? 6. The rise of the middle class, reduction of poverty, GDP per capita, and the lack of constant economic depressions, panics, and recessions every few years clearly show how things were better after the Great Depression and the New Deal. What's your evidence exactly? Repeating religious dogma instead of actual facts and figures is an obvious indication of brainwashing. You are repeating the propaganda that comes out of think tanks as if it were religion (Heritage foundation, Brookings institute, Cato foundation, etc. etc.) I've heard the same crap over and over for decades. They create a message to that elicits an emotional response using words around "stealing" "taking" and "fairness" and it causes people like you to internalize a lot of nonsense. Politicians, pundits, media use these talking points because they are designed to influence people. This is why every time I challenge you on actual facts and figures, your arguments fall apart.
    1
  13040.  @youknow9092  1. Not forcing you to do anything dude. Just calling you out for being a clown by lying about "evidence" you clearly don't have. 😂 The reason you've been talking in circles for a week is because you have nothing. 2.Again, it does with public schools, land grants, research grants, libraries, handicap access, rural roads, parks, coast guard, and hundreds of other services that I pointed out that you have absolute no response for. We pay for things that may or may not benefit us personally all the time, but as a society we benefit. All you're doing is mindlessly repeat talking points, without providing evidence or examples of your arguments in practice. 3. I can claim that aliens landed in my backyard. It's not up to everyone else to prove that my claim is real. People who believe in fairy tales without evidence are religious people. You've proven yourself over and over to only believe in stories without evidence. Meanwhile I actually back up my claims. 4. Which is my point. Society benefited from public education, social security, and Medicare. Society will also benefit from public higher education and extending Medicare to everyone. 5. Again, the fact that putting pepperoni on a pizza makes it taste better, doesn't mean than pepperoni isn't part of the pizza. It doesn't mean that pizza is "evil" without pepperoni. It just means that there are types of pizza that people prefer. We prefer a government with checks and balances as opposed to a monarchy or some other form of government. 6. --"you act like the middle class didnt exist until our excessive tax code was adopted. Nice lie. " You act as if I didn't say that the middle class "grew", "rose", "reached it's peak". Instead you pretend I said something else which is a classic straw man tactic when you're unable to argue against the point I actually made. Nice lie. Again as I stated, looking at GDP per capita and the fact that there were far more economic panics and recessions prior to 1913 invalidates your claim and you're not giving me any kind of measurement that proves your assertions... Which means that your claims don't come from anything, they're just an idea someone told you, hence brainwashing from propaganda. And sorry, but just saying the equivalent of "Nuh uh... you are!" or "I am rubber you are glue" is not a real argument. 😂
    1
  13041.  @youknow9092  1. It's called proving your argument. Sorry, but that's what rational people do. Don't blame me for not being able to provide evidence for your claims. 2. Handicap rails and ramps do not benefit everyone equally. Research grants do not benefit everyone equally. Public schools do no benefit everyone equally. Libraries do not benefit everyone equally. Coast guard do not benefit everyone equally. Land grants from the 1800s did not benefit everyone equally. Post offices supporting Rural Routes do not benefit everyone equally. I've pointed these things out to you several times and you have no response other than to just ignore facts because they are inconvenient for you. 3. I have backed up all of my claims. You only pretend to and lie about having evidence but never provide it. 4. Everyone did not benefit from public education because there were also religious schools and private schools. There still are. 5. Checks and balances are discussed in Federalist No 51. Nowhere does it talk about government being "evil". Stop lying. Stop making things up. 6. The middle class grew. GDP per capital grew and poverty shrank Those are actual metrics that you can use to measure how successful policies were. You regurgitating your religious dogma is not measurable or testable, sorry. If you cannot prove your claims with things we can measure in the real world then you don't have an argument, you only have a religion.
    1
  13042.  @youknow9092  1. Not being able to prove your argument is an obvious indication of not knowing what you're talking about. 2. Handicap rails and ramps are mandated by the government and paid for by the government and/or private companies depending on the situation. However it is not a function of market forces. The rest of your argument just validates what I've been saying this whole time... YES education benefits society as a whole even if only a portion of the population takes advantage of that service. You may not benefit from handicap accessibility now, but if you get injured one day it could mean everything to you. Same thing for Medicare and social security. The same thing goes for Medicare for all and free college. Having a healthy population, having an educated population, benefits the entire society. If it weren't for the NHS and subsidized education we wouldn't have had a brilliant mind like Stephen Hawking. 3. Whatever dude. 4. Entirely agree. Which is why when people advocate for public education past high school the are not trying to "change our nation for the worse" they are trying to make it better and more competitive with the rest of the world. 5. Then provide quotes were founders called government "evil".... If it is "common knowledge" then it should be fairly easy to find.... "Common knowledge" is just another way of saying you were brainwashed into believing something that isn't true. I provide figures and references, while you lie and make things up. No different than arguing with an evangelical Christian. 6. --"again forcing others to take on other peoples financial burden I would not say is beneficial to society" Safety nets like unemployment insurance and social security have clear demonstrated benefits to society. When a certain percentage of your population is allowed to fall into poverty and squalor because of a hardship it causes a big drain on society. That is why we have studies showing that states lose less money when they give temporary homes to homeless people and they have a space to get back on their feet. Again, not having evidence only proves that your ideas are based on a religious ideology rather than facts and figures. The reason facts aren't easily available to you is because your ideas aren't based on anything... I didn't need to "waste my time" finding facts and figures to support my ideas because my ideas are based on reality and facts easily available. Meanwhile your ideas are based on spin and emotionally laced words about government being "evil" and "taking things" from people and giving them to others. They are not based on facts they are just meant to demonize certain people.
    1
  13043.  @youknow9092  1. Sure someone who responds with novel's worth of text is worried about wasting their time. 😂 No one believes you dude. You've got nothing. Just admit that your feelings are more important than facts and figures. 2. Your argument was about being forced to pay for the benefit of others. Being mandated to pay for handicap access, is the same thing as paying for it through taxes. Again, having a baseline for heath coverage doesn't prevent people from paying more. No different than having a baseline for education doesn't prevent people from going to private schools. In 1973 most jobs required a high school education and in 2020 most jobs require more than than a high school education. So your definition of "basic education requirement" isn't based on anything other than your feelings. 3. No. I only respond to arguments, not emotional outbursts. There's no point in wasting my time with non-arguments. 4. Like I said. All of your arguments are based on emotion and demonizing people. without evidence to back up your claims. People in red states take more from the federal government than they contribute in taxes. So you're mindlessly following a caricature for why "the left" pushes policies that benefit society. 5. Again, it should be pretty easy to provide a quote or something to support your claims, but you can't. Unlike you I don't mindlessly believe things without evidence. --"You provided figures then interpreted that to mean society was better" Yes I provided empirical evidence to back up my claims. You should try that instead of just believing whatever sounds good to you. It's the difference between an informed opinion vs. a religion. All of your arguments are based on feelings.... You also believe in collectivism otherwise you would be in a 3rd world country that has less government, few paved roads, little education, police, etc. 6. Which studies show giving homes for the homeless doesn't work? And the question is whether most studies show a certain outcome, not whether there is a single study that does not Furthermore I don't recall ever advocating for a UBI.... Which for the record is not a "safety net". Again safety nets have clearly worked in this country and around the word. They keep a significant part of the population from falling further into poverty and squalor which is a net benefit to society. Again, you can preach your ideology all day, but I'm not going to follow your religion. I only believe ideas that can be backed up by facts and empirical data. Which you clearly don't have. Sorry, but no one in their right mind is dumb enough to believe you're sitting on a mountain of evidence but just too lazy to provide any of it. That's obviously a lie and not even a very good one at that. 😂
    1
  13044.  @youknow9092  1. When you don't have any evidence to back up your claims you're not calling out anything, you're only making a fool out of yourself. No one here believes people who don't provide evidence and just makes up stories and fairy tales. 2. Again, people do not use public education equally. Many people choose private schools. Again, police, fire departments, parks, etc. are also not used equally. They are used in an emergency, no different than healthcare. Study from Georgetown university entitled: "Job Growth and Education Requirements Through 2020". Shows that 65% of jobs in 2020 require an education level past high school. Sorry unlike you I don't lie, that's what you do. I actually back up what I say. I don't just make things up as I go along as you have been doing. 3. No just more false accusations and statements based on your religious dogma. 4. None of your statements have been evidence based. No different than your statements on Social Security and Medicare. You're not referencing any actual evidence of stats before and after these programs were enacted. Your position comes from nothing more than ignorance. All you care about is some mindless blind belief that someone programed you with. 5. Like I said all you care about is ranting about your religious dogma that you cannot prove. I verify my statements with facts, figures, and studies. Every single one of your arguments fell apart because everything you believe is based on personal feelings and emotions. Someone tells you something simplistic that sounds good and you blindly believe it. That's what ALL religious people do. You even call things "evil" like some kind of crazy evangelical. 6. I don't believe you have ever looked at s single study on giving homes to the homeless dude.... All you are doing is lying and repeating the talking points you have been programmed wit. You're nothing more than a drone at this point and it's sad.
    1
  13045.  @youknow9092  1. Sure it is. You have no evidence to back up any of the fairytales you believe. BTW aliens landed in my backyard over the weekend. The evidence is out there if you do your own research... 🤡 I never met a religious zealot who cared whether other people believe them. You're no different. All you care about is your beliefs, regardless of the evidence. 2. Society also benefits from a healthy populace. Which is why vaccine testing and viral treatments were given out for free. What doesn't help society is having 600,000 people go bankrupt every year for medical debt or tens of thousands dying from lack of coverage, or millions of people being obligated to a job because they're afraid of losing health benefits. Or thousands of small businesses unable to compete because they don't have the same leverage to provide good health coverage as large corporations. Having no study, means you never cared about facts or studies. 3. You're not ant-theist. You just substituted one religion for another. People do it all the time. 4. There is no evidence to reject when you're clearly not providing evidence. 🤡 5. No you just like to pretend that you're logical, but everything you've presented here is based on a belief. You had false claims about small government and low taxes, which isn't true around the world or in US history. Then when you're called out you just reject evidence. This is EXACTLY what religious people do. 6. Clearly I'm right. You haven't looked at any studies. If you did you would quote the title of that study as I have done. Well people who believe in fantasies and fairytales are inconsequential to me. However when your religion is damaging to people and others use your religion to manipulate you into believing in nonsense ideas that hurt this country, that's what I have a problem with... I'm not tied to a belief like you are. I go where the evidence takes me.
    1
  13046.  @youknow9092  1. Just like the refusal for you to research the aliens that landed in my backyard. It must be true then right? All you're doing is clowning yourself over and over.... 😂 2. I just pointed out all the ways that universal healthcare it benefits society. Better for small businesses in being more completive to large corporations. Increases social mobility as people are not tied to workplace healthcare benefits. Better to slow the spread of transmittable diseases. Lowers the healthcare costs for the entire country, since we're paying 2 or more times the costs of other developed countries. Drops all the red tape that individuals and hospitals have to go through with dealing with insurance companies, coverage, co-payments, etc. Everyone will have lower costs as pointed out in numerous studies, including a study by the Cato institute who is antagonistic against the idea. Eliminating the half a million or more families that go bankrupt each year due to medical debt (even if they have insurance in many cases), which has impacts on individuals as well as our overall economy. Eliminating the tens of thousands who die each year from lack of insurance, which also has greater impacts on society. So you cannot say it doesn't benefit all of society. I clearly laid it out for you. 3. No you're just another religious zealot who doesn't provide any evidence for your beliefs. The exact opposite of a rational person. 4. Yes it does. Sorry, but I don't blindly believe in lies and fairytales. 5. Lack of evidence clearly demonstrates a lack of rational thought. 6. I back up everything I say with facts, figures, and studies. Unlike religious ideologs like yourself. You might as well turn to Christianity, Islam, witchcraft, or Qanon. Because your arguments are no different. I had a long argument with a religious friend of mine awhile ago and it was literally NO DIFFERENT than talking to you... They also claimed that I needed to spend a long time researching the Bible before I could dispute any of the arguments they were making. It's a classic deflection tactic with you people. When you have no evidence for your claims and irrational beliefs you pretend that other people need to do research.
    1
  13047.  @youknow9092  1. No you just lie repeatedly about imaginary evidence. I don't need to bait liars, just point them out. 2. No you're just choosing to ignore everything I said, because you don't have an actual argument refuting it. So instead of addressing my points that explain all the benefits to society that universal health would have. You just ignore everything and repeat your religious dogma like some mindless drone. 3. Again, you have no evidence. 4. Again, all you've done is repeated fairytales without any evidence to back it up. Just like any other religious zealot. 5. It just means you're a liar who will pretend to have evidence that you don't have. 6. I provided you studies, stats, figures. Such as the historical figures on upper income taxes, various countries and their government revenue as a percentage of GDP, studies on employment, historical panics and economic recession, the growth of the middle class, growth f GDP per capita in the 20th century, actual statements in the Federalist papers, listing out founders who were Federalists as opposed to Anti-federalists. Once again, you're lying. All you've done is make claims about "secret evidence" that you won't provide. It's obvious at this point that you're nothing more than a liar and a religious zealot brainwashed by nonsense ideology.
    1
  13048.  @youknow9092  1. LMAO... People shouldn't need to "bait you" to provide evidence for your own arguments. 😂 Sorry, but you're nothing but a liar. 2. Except you didn't. 3. Again, if you weren't lying you would provide evidence. 4. Except you didn't. 5. Lying about evidence, does in fact make you a liar. 6. I showed that most founders who picked a side identified as Federalist. You provided nothing, zero evidence to support your own argument. All you do is repeat unsubstantiated nonsense You sound unhinged at this point. Religious zealots who are incapable of arguing facts or provide any evidence for their arguments are really not interesting.

As if 2 years into a pandemic we couldn't figure out a way of getting additional hospital beds and healthcare workers to handle the additional load. No, it must only be the fault of the government not being able to buy enough vaccines and boosters... Gee as if that's not a convenient narrative for certain people looking to make a quick buck.

  13053.  @berniethekiwidragon4382  Or maybe they're nurses who already had Covid because they work in a hospital and don't need a vaccine. Which also has nothing to do with transmitting Covid to patients. PPE is for stopping transmission in a hospital, not vaccination. The way people have created these dumb caricatures in their minds because of a nonsense culture war is amazing to me. Because all nurses who didn't get vaccinated must be the EXACTLY the same as a quack doctor in a viral video 6 months ago who claimed that the vaccine made her "magnetic" right?

  13054.  @berniethekiwidragon4382  Neither does vaccine acquired immunity, however natural immunity has been shown to last far longer than vaccine acquired immunity. While both protect from hospitalization and death. It has also been clearly demonstrated numerous times that vaccinated people spread the virus. Just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean you haven't gotten covid or are not spreading it. We knew this nearly 2 years ago with the original strain... Vaccinated people have the same viral load as someone who is entirely unvaccinated. The only difference is how quickly the virus clears your system. In fact, a recent paper came out showing that most Omicron cases are actually asymptomatic The danger of this bullsh!t culture war is that people like you are repeating misinformation that was never based on science, simply to combat other people repeating misinformation not based on science. It is complete insanity.

If I leave my couch on the sidewalk to be picked up by the trash collector and someone takes it, then it is a completely different context than if someone came into my house and took it. In both cases someone "took my couch", but one is theft and the other isn't. Same with a pregnancy. Someone may value the pregnancy and the life they will have with a "child" one day. If that is taken, they are losing out on everything that pregnancy represented to them and their family. Which is a entirely different context than a woman personally choosing to terminate a pregnancy. Again this is why "cutting yourself is not a "felony assault". Just because it is called "murder" in the context of a crime doesn't mean it is scientifically the same as independent lifeform. Criminal justice is entirely different than science and you won't find biologists relying on criminal justice terminology.

  13059. My guess is that most people get their "news" from opinion sources. You have right wing outlets who, for the most part, will just line up behind any right-wing leader. Then you have left wing media who will try and be "principled" and cover Democratic politicians fairly and because of that coverage will always be unbalanced. The right wing also lined up behind the Bush administration for years with barely any criticism of the war, torture, indefinite detention, Abu Gharibe, Gitmo, patriot-act, warrantless wiretapping, etc. Then when Obama got into office, he was constantly attacked by both the right and the left.

  13062.  @ddid7021  He's thinking he can get aid to Americans now and then leverage his vote on the NDAA defense spending bill to force Trump and the Republicans into passing the new bill for 2K checks. Bernie Sanders is a lot smarter about this than you or I.
    1
  13063.  @ddid7021  Yeah cause Trump "being happy" matters a lot when it comes to people putting food on the table and paying their rent right?... Trump should have negotiated for 2K checks WEEKS AGO however Trump's representatives (Steve Mnuchin, etc.) were perfectly happy with $600. The only reason why there was $600 is because people like Bernie Sanders were demanding $1200 so they made a compromise for $600. Then Trump decided to demand 2K checks at the very last minute and then go golfing all weekend just as people's unemployment was running out. If Trump is serious about $2K checks then he should be pushing McConnel and the Republicans in the Senate to pass the bill that just came out of the House for $2K checks. So lets see if he puts federal money were his mouth is....

  13064. The optics of Biden actively ignoring crimes because of some "secret deal" would make the entire Biden administration look corrupt. It would look just as corrupt as Trump's interference with the DOJ and Fox News would have a field day covering it. You come up with these ideas that you think are straight forward, but it's far more complicated than you realize. What joe Biden should do either by using the bully pulpit or a surrogate continuously tie crimes/corruption of Joe Manchin's family to his interference with passing the reconciliation bill. You have to create the political environment that makes it advantageous for Joe Manchin to support the bill. This has to be done publicly.

  13065. Then you don't have a point. If you read the material you would see that animals also produce their own Cannabinoids (Google: Endocannabinoids), just like we can naturally produce vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Or do you believe that birds, fish, and reptiles which also have cannabinoid receptors somehow evolved by smoking blunts all day? All my comments were about daily and constant consumption which applies to the other substances I mentioned. I do think hemp seeds are tasty though ;-)

  13066. @Ryan Rose Again... the fact that you think Muslims have the same ideology everywhere, pretty much displays your profound ignorance. I get it...you can't see past your own "tribe".

  13067.  @SpacePirate81  Even though these people may have mental issues, it doesn't excuse the fact that the violent, fearful, and hateful rhetoric that comes from right wing leaders (aka Trump) can trigger these people to do violent acts... They can easily push a person who is already on the brink, over the edge. No different than hateful rhetoric by some preachers mosques who can push certain Muslims into violence who are predisposed to it from mental issues or trauma. Especially if these leaders can give justification to these violent acts through ideology or religion. If republican leaders or fox news makes the claim over and over that "socialism" , "George Soros", or "democratic leaders" are literally destroying the country and allowing dangerous immigrants in to kill your family, then why wouldn't a crazy person act on that?

  13069. You can take a rock to mean "santa clause" if you choose. That doesn't make it correct. It amazes me how many on YouTube somehow believe a "straw man" is a valid form of discussion. It isn't. Man has long since created a method for determining truth... That method is science. If you have a goal (health, less poverty, etc.) then the scientific method (which includes research, statistical analysis, etc.) is far surer way of getting there than relying on your "opinions" or "belief system".

There's a BIG difference between "Lobbying" and writing a big check to support a single party. General Electric, like all multinational corporations, spends a lot of money on lobbying. HALF of their money goes to REPUBLICANs as well, which is the part your pundits left out. Fox News is about supporting an agenda by appealing to emotions not facts.

The right doesn't want a president out of because of policy or positions. They want a literally King out of legends that feels good to look up to. They're literally just walking around in with their ruler's logo and coat of arms. It's not an intellectual choice to them it's a religious one.

Meanwhile you have Ana out there giving every "benefit of the doubt" to conservatives and Trump supporters every other video. You will not see Trump or Hannity lash out at their own supporters. It is incredibly dumb to do that. You're not an "ally" if you don't actually listen to that minority group when they complain. Ana's words are being used as propaganda on the Fox News website RIGHT NOW because they fell into the trap of focusing on and legitimizing right wing culture war narratives. They are literally damaging the group they claim to want to protect.

  13125. What happened? Nothing happened... Tulsi has always been an Islamophobe and leaned heavily towards the Right. When people like me were pointed this out over and over in 2020 we were constantly derided by Tulsi fans. The fact is she defended the torture that happened under Bush. She criticized Obama for not bombing Syria *enough*. She comes from religious cult and she started her political career bashing gay people until she was forced to apologize for it later. I never once believed she was sincere when she started supporting progressive policies, all I saw was an "angle" and shameless posturing. Which became even more obvious when she started going after the other female candidates during the 2020 debates all so that she could be more appealing as a VP pick. Tulsi NEVER went after Biden during the debates.

  13128.  @jerkjerkington3874  Classic straw man argument. I never said the dude "couldn't complain", so you're making that up. My argument was specifically on tradition, that traditions change, sports change and that pretend fighting with plastic swords is not much different than pretend fighting with metal swords. Your argument was that fencing had some kind of french cultural significance and pretended that it was similar to Native Americans preserving their religion and traditions that are dying out. My argument is that it never came from France to begin with and that it's a sport developed across several countries therefore it is not significant or unique to french culture. I would appreciate it if you would stop making up ideas you want to argue against and instead address what I actually say.

  13129.  @jerkjerkington3874  Umm... What "indian traditions" are you talking about exactly? Because they are all wide and varied. ---"What does "invalidating something new" even mean?" It's simple, adding something new to a sport, doesn't somehow get rid of what already exists... The fact that Americans made pizza and apple pie and hundreds of other foods derived from European based foods that immigrants brought with them, doesn't magically mean that those European foods they were based on ceased to exist. Just because a guy opens an Indian fusion restaurant in London one day doesn't diminish the existing British cuisine. Just because US Irish Immigrants created an entirely new celebration of "St Patty's Day" derived from US style parades and celebrations mixed in with Irish traditions didn't somehow replace or diminish Irish culture or Irish people. In fact they liked the idea in Ireland so much they started celebrating it there I'm saying that the entire basis for that kind of thinking is utter bullshit. You can dislike something all you want (if I were an old guy doing something all my life I would probably dislike the "new thing" too), but suggesting something is wrong or should not exist "because tradition" is complete and utter nonsense.

The point, (as you're finally agreeing to) is that the constitution never prohibitied slavory. Blacks didn't have a full vote. Women and most minorities couldn't vote at all. It was a political movement that changed this country. Against the wishes of big business (slave trade) and the south's suppresion of blacks. Equality is a "liberal policy".

  13135. The problem is that there was never a full "lockdown". If we had a real lockdown, and that lockdown was early we could have stopped Covid completely in this country. Other countries (South Korea, China, New Zealand, Australia, etc.) were able to nearly or completely stop Covid completely well before a vaccine was available, but we didn't. Instead we waited around until April and May, never locked down fully, and allowed Covid to continue to spread for months on end. The problems we have today are entirely due to our own incompetence and inaction. There is no reason that schools should have remained closed in the fall, we created that problem.

So if you're already down that rabbit hole then you have no problems "believing" that forces in the US government conspired with the Chinese to eradicate Caucasian people. You'll ignore things like age, health, obesity, vitamin D levels, etc. the things that are actually associated to worse outcomes.

  13145. Kyle sometimes your commentary on foreign policy can be rather vapid. OF COURSE, the US would offer to lift sanctions if Russia stopped invading Ukraine. OF COURSE, the US wants some kind of offramp for Putin, but only Putin can give an indication of what that is. The US president isn't a magic wizard who can just wave a wand and say: "here's your offramp sir.", "Here is peace!", "now the 60 year Israeli/Palestinian conflict is over!" You act as if there is some rational middle ground between Putin wanting major parts of Ukraine, influence over the oil and natural gas reserves (which for some reason NEVER gets talked about in the media), as well as regime change for the Ukrainian government and Ukrainians saying, "nah bro, GTFO". The bottom line is both sides are going to have to go through a lot of suffering before people get to a real point of actual negotiation, because Putin is going to try to take as much as he can and the Ukrainians are going to give up as little as they can.

  13146. If you like a savory breakfast, then it sounds like you would like grits. Like the southern breakfast "Fish & Grits". I mean it sounds similar to the other dishes you like in terms of flavor and texture. You have the creaminess of the grits which is similar to rice with raw egg or hummus, and it's a platform that you can add all sorts of flavors to (avocado, mushrooms, sprouts, etc.). Then if you add eggs and/or a grilled piece of fish, shrimp, etc. A lot of times I will use partially cooked eggs in my grits, which is similar to the rice and raw egg dish you were describing. And the type of grits changes the dish as well. It could be white, yellow, polenta, blue corn, etc.

  13149. I used to point out repeatedly that Tulsi started her poltiical career bashing gay people. She was literally part of a religious cult that her father started. She changed her stance on gay rights sometimed around when Hillary Clinton did. Tulsi-bots pretended that people have the right to change their minds, but if you have that mindset against gay people as an adult it really goes to your overal judgement and morality as a person at that point. Clearly she was just pretending to be pro gay later in order to get elected.

  13151. It's the machine... Like Cenk said these agencies have been going after pot for decades. It brings in revenue, it employs people. The peopel commited to this "war" are not going to stop because Obama made some statement about not making it priority. The only way it stop it is through legalization.

  13153. 10:30 I like how in that tweet Dave Rubin doesn't even know that AOC is just repeating Bernie Sander's idea... Bernie has been talking about the post office taking on additional services like banking functions for like the past 10 years now.

  13154. "In the United States Founding Fathers like James Madison defined republic in terms of representative democracy " To say that it was not the intention of our founders is to not have a form of elected representation is ludicrous.

  13156. "The fact remains, that entertaining people with facts about how bad things are is useless." Educating the public with facts is useless? Seriously? All revolutions (including our own) start with "information" and philosophical teachings. Pointing fingers at someone actually doing something and saying "you're not doing enough" doesn't help one bit. Or would you prefer they simply made their money and not do a damn thing?

  13157. 3. How gov't runs a deficit is irrelevant... This issue was growth & spending. Namely WW2 with Germany/US & more recently the rapid expansion of China. You can argue opinions all you want. Google: "Linkages between Government Spending, Growth, and Poverty in India and China" There are people who study these things not simply pushing political narratives like Cato/Heritage. 4. Hurting recovery to pay the debt after the deficit has stabolized is irrational. The debt isn't coming to get you.

  13158. Agree with everything except that Trump would win if he did all of those things... People have been sick of Trump for years now and that was shown in the 2018 election that gave us AOC. If he showed a degree of competence during this pandemic It would be a closer race, but I still doubt he would win. Keep in mind that Trump even lost the popular vote with Hillary. He has NEVER been a popular president. Trump has always been a loser who has failed upward only to end up bankrupt just to get bailed out again. If it weren't for NBC creating a show around him and elevating his brand Trump would have just been a failed real-estate mogul. There are a dozen other things we would be hitting Trump with if he weren't killing thousands of people or putting SS troops on the streets. Let's not forget that it's a little hard to run on "corruption" when you've ben one of the most corrupt administrations in modern history.

  13160. 4. "For example are you for the legalization of all vice based drugs?" Yes I am... I've never done drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol. Yet I never understood or agreed with the idea of prohibition. Legalizing pot is a no brainer, all progressives are for that. When it comes to other drugs it's a mixed bag... most I've talked to are on the fence about it. "Big government" is nothing but campaign propoganda. The issue has always been "effective government" based on the needs of the people.

  13161. @chaumont20 Even I know there's a difference between "Neo Cons", Libertarians, and Republicans who are socially progressive but fiscally conservative. NO ONE in US politics today is a "communist" or a "socialists". The idea is absurd. It's sad how brainwashed people are by pundits on TV/Radio. I was at the Jon Stewart rally this weekend because people are tired of this bullshit hate speech. We need to deal in facts/issues not yelling stupid labels. Special interests are NOT party specific

  13166. @luckyStrike89ru So Israelis, Arabs, and you are simply reacting. What you fail to see, is the fact that since Israel is an ally to the US and ALL elected presidents must answer to AIPAC. All news of any Israeli conflct is highly filtered in this country. The US involvement in the conflict is seen around the world as completely bias one that fuels an endless cycle of terrorism and counter terrorism that's gone on for half a century. The US needs to act as a mediator not blind supporter.

  13168. A few things don't make sense here... It makes me wonder if Apple is coming out with two products instead of one. 1. 8K displays? For VR maybe, for AR probably not. I don't think we're at a point where 8K displays can be in a lightweight AR package. 2. Processing on the phone to make it lightweight. Phone processors are not very big. Most of the bulk with AR/VR glasses are the display technology, sensors, batteries to power everything, and the frame and padding to make holding batteries and sensors comfortable. Anything driving 8K pixels is going to be somewhat hefty just to drive those pixels. So it sounds like they would have a separate AR product (like a google glass type of thing) and a more hefty VR product.

  13170. And Romney does? 1. Whether you like it or not. SOMEONE is going to be elected president.... Allowing another neo-con administraion because you're feeling butt hurt over few things the Obama administration did or didn't do, is silly. 2. People need to wake up and realize it's not about one man.... We don't live in a monarchy and you're not electing a king. Feeling butt hurt over one dude isn't going to magically fix the rampant corruption that infects the entire system.

  13171.  Mike C  What about it? "Defend" doesn't equal "abolish". Just because Fox News says "abolish" over and over. Doesn't somehow make it part of the BLM movement.
    1
  13172.  Mike C  Fox News has been "saying" you mean. If the views of the entire movement are decided by a fringe then by that logic the entire Republican party are bigots, racists, and domestic terrorists.... If you actually care about what the issues are then I suggest you go to the BLM website or spend 5 minutes googling and actually educate yourself on the issues, because taking a fringe comment and pretending it's an policy idea is really dumb and unproductive.

  13173.  Mike C  TYT only conflates conservatives when 90% of them support a moron like Trump and go out of their way to pretend that wearing a mask is political because "dear leader" convinced them it was uncool to wear one even after 120,000 Americans died from a pandemic. Again... "abolishing policing" was NEVER a policy idea. Anyone who ever did call for "abolishing the police" would also tell you that they would want to replaced with another system, not completely abolish the concept of policing. How about conservatives distance themselves from White Supremacy, racism, and bigotry? How about you distance yourself from the dozens of cop murders committed by boogaloo boys and other extremists? The problem isn't the BLM movement, the problem is the coordinated propaganda that causes people like you to waste everyone's time over bullshit and nonsense.

  13174. I would argue that in many ways Caucuses are more democratic than primaries.... Yes it is harder to vote in a caucus but the people who are voting as actually discussing issues in a way that you don't get in just a simple ballot vote. Also you get ranked choice voting at a caucus, whereas a primary is more winner take all. So someone can support a Yang or a Tulsi and then have their vote go to their second choice if their candidate doesn't have the votes. Also people are going to be more passionate on the issues at a caucus whereas someone with money or establishment ties (Bloomberg, Clinton, etc.) can influence a primary in their favor.

  13175.  @t.r.campbell6585  "In many ways", not in all ways. Primaries are also completely manipulated by the political elite. For example the political elite completely manipulated the 2020 democratic primaries to favor Biden even though he was the 2nd and 3rd choice for most voters at the time.

  13176. It's also a way of being first in line to any other information from Twitter that Elon feels like leaking. Sad how Taibbi used to speak out against "access journalism" and now he firmly embraces it.
    1
  13177.  @maccon1  Which is exactly what Mat Taibbi did for Elon Musk. He used the "twitter files" to jump on the bandwagon of the "Hunter Biden laptop" nonsense fervor that was building in the conservative circles as well as the narrative that Elon was pushing that Twitter prior to his takeover was against free speech. Taibbi used that propaganda in order to sensationalize his reporting. Jimmy Dore doesn't know wtf he's talking about when he's interviewing anyone. He doesn't bother researching anything so he always ignorant on any topic he's talking about.. All he knows how to do is feign anger in order and outrage in order to fool his audience into believing he's actually passionate about something. He uses fake outrage in the same way that conservatives do.

  13178. Misinformed? I saw the email Chris Anderson sent to Nick Hanauer on why the video was banned. The disagreement was based on nothing more than his *personal opinion*. He simply didn't agree with the assertions Nick made in his talk, so he decided to ban it. All Nick said was that relationship between Consumer & Entreprenuer is symbiotic. Treating capitalists like "kings" is not good for society or the economy. It was obvious from Anderson's response, that he liked being treated like a king.

  13179. The old set was dorky but at least you felt closer to the people. TYT a word of advice.... Focus on *PEOPLE* not backgrounds that is where your strength is. Think along the lines of "The View"... warm and intimate not cold and distant....

  13180. That is the main reason why I just don't trust Tulsi Gabbard.... She needs to spend a few years actually fighting for the issues that she supposedly cares about, before running for president. You go to her twitter feed and it's 99% about her and running for president whereas Sanders and Warren are constantly engaged in the issues they are care about, besides just running for president. Don't trust any politician who isn't "walking the walk"...

  13181.  @ulthanee  A "regulated militia" was meant to prevent the need for a standing army. So that states could call upon a local militia for basic defense. It isn't the same as letting anyone and everyone have a gun and shoot people they think ought to be shot. It's more comparable to the national guard or local police. The biggest concern for the southern states was to be able to continue their "slave patrols" which local citizens were a part of.
    1
  13182.  @ulthanee  Seeing as the Militia Acts were created after the 2nd amendment was ratified, your statement doesn't make much sense. Yes the 2nd amendment was in response to concerns over disbanding state militias, but it was not about personal self defense. Federalist No. 46 was also about state militia power vs federal standing army power.
    1
  13183.  @ulthanee  And militias were used for that defense. There were plenty of laws against gun ownership for certain individuals in various states as well (natives, black people, criminals, people deemed mentally ill, permit requirements and justifications for ownership, etc.), so it was pretty clear it wasn't an individual right they were protecting only a State right to have citizen militias. It's not like the concepts of self defense, castle doctrine, etc. were unfamiliar to the drafters of the Constitution. If that's what they meant they would state it explicitly, but in this case they were more concerned about state militias, specifically the "slave patrols" because that was an important issue for southern states.
