  1. I wonder if I could hire him to help with my next commute...

  2. From the outside, it's always struck me that the crowd of people who say "we need guns to defend our rights against a tyrannical government" are the people most likely to serve as foot-soldiers to said tyrannical government.

  3. To my fellow lefties: if a group of ex-Republicans wants to join the coalition to get rid of Trump, let them. Right now, getting Trump out of office has to be our sole priority. We need all the help we can get, and we should welcome all the allies we can. Heck, maybe they'll actually stick around and learn some real values while they march with us.

  4. I click the "like" button, but it feels so hollow. I don't like any of it. What I want to give is a hug. :(

  5. Could you imagine a Trump ever having such a genuinely loving conversation? On camera or off?

  6. The world would be a better place with more leaders like Ardern.

  7. For now, try to stay calm. Panic won't help you fight off the bug. Just take some sensible precautions: - plenty of hand washing, - avoid crowded spaces, - be sparing with visits to vulnerable relatives. As the pandemic progresses, make sure you and your friends are ready to support each other through the difficult times ahead. The people most likely to receive a bad dose of this virus are the old and infirm, so be ready to support your parents. Hospitals will be overloaded and struggling to cope, so it will fall to people like you to help care for elderly relatives, and ease the burden on the system. Your input may or may not help your relatives, but it may save the lives of other people, by keeping just one more hospital bed free for an urgent case. Stay strong everyone - we will survive. :)

  8. It's really hard to press "like" on a video like this; not because I disagree with this channel's coverage, but only because the events here are so awful.

  9. While I admire and love what these people are doing, I think it's tragic that the neighbourhoods where white people like me live, are not safe for them. They shouldn't have to seek refuge on the fringes, to be safe from us. That goes for us here in the UK, and double for cities and suburbs across the US.

  10. To think, instead of invading other countries we could've just had some random farmer in Belgium moving a piece of stone this whole time? Imagine how much easier European history would've been if only we found this out sooner. 😁

  11. "A woman's being unfairly thrown out of a park despite not having broken any rules. Seems kind of unfair, but whatever, I'm just a cop, what power do I have to help?"

  12. Trump: Deploys armed military personnel to the streets of American cities to attack peaceful protestors. Republicans: This is normal. Coronavirus: Kills hundreds of thousands of Americans. Republicans: Nothing to see here folks! Tiktok users: Embarrass Trump by getting him to give a speech to a nearly-empty auditorium. Republicans: Careful now!

  13. Are you confused? Or are you beginning to understand. :(

  14. Activists: [doing a good thing] Police: no stop that.

  15. Let's be real here: Tennessee Republicans are fascists. That's what they are. That's not a pejorative, that's just an accurate description.

  16. Hey Disney, how about you update your mascot. I think it's time to retire Mickey - I think Jabba the Hutt would be a far better representation of you and your company's values these days.

  17. WHO: labels Covid 19 a pandemic and mobilises international response. China: sequences and publishes the virus' entire genome for free. Trump: plays golf through the whole of February. And you like this guy???

  18. I'm from Britain: a few years ago, I had no idea who Robert Reich was - but through his consistently clear and apt explanations, he's won my admiration.

  19.  @karenwillexposeyou2542  Republicans don't know what communism is.

  20. At 3:11 - Humans: Awwwww! He wants to play with the fishies! Penguin: I think I just found lunch... :D

  21. @Crow Dog You mistake weather for climate. Climate change doesn't mean you won't still get nice weather from time to time - but it increases the probability of more extreme weather happening more often. Notice I didn't say it causes extreme weather - it increases the probability. Events that would typically have only happened once in a century are now happening nearly every year. We are breaking records for hottest and coldest days across the planet, because as the planet's atmosphere warms, the system has more energy to release in the form of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts. Fact is, you might be having a nice sunny day on the veranda, but that doesn't mean there ain't historic wildfires burning in California (there are) or that the Great Barrier Reef isn't bleaching to death (it is).

  22. I guess Trumpists have entirely given up on the pretence that they're not, in fact, neo-fascists. I'd say that's nice, but I don't know how a democracy survives when 40-odd percent of the population doesn't even want to live in one.

  23.  @cg1906  Those quotes are directed at people who supported Reagan - not at us.

  24. Whether you agree or disagree with them politically, I think we can at least acknowledge that these three are decent, nice, well-meaning people.

  25. Your mistake is assuming they care an iota about kids. They do not. They just hate and want to oppress women. "Pro life" is just a useful dog-whistle.

  26. Finally 2020, you did something right.

  27. Is it the bear's fault for walking through a human's garden? Or is it humanity's fault for surrounding the bear's habitat with walls?

  28. Contact your local officials and ask them to get these installed across the US - leave nothing to chance!

  29. A lot of people remember Reagan differently than we on the Left do. If a bunch of ex-Reagan voters decide to go Democratic this year, we should welcome that - every vote counts in getting this monster out of the White House.
    33
  30.  @cg1906  Please, don't start a fight with me. We're on the same side here. :)

  31. "What does Fauci have that I don't?" "Intelligence, good looks, a voice that doesn't curdle milk, a wife who loves him, a family that can stand him, a bank balance that doesn't require fraudulent accounting to look good, honesty, integrity, a vocabulary exceeding two thousand words, taste, style, Hollywood actors who would like to play him on TV, invitations from major league baseball teams, a decent head of hair, the ability to dress without using an entire can of spray tan, a medical license, a genuine degree with grades that he earned himself, a Twitter account that doesn't have to be flagged for hate speech and misinformation, friends that don't need to be forced to sign an NDA, a winning personality, a nice smile, a functioning moral compass, a positive approval rating, a body that is not clinically obese, regularly proportioned hands and a functioning you-know-what... oh, and he's not going to be charged with a litany of felony offences in 2021, so that's something."

  32.  @2020_Visi0n  I'm not planning to. When I write out an educative explanation like above, I'm doing it for the benefit of whomsoever else might be reading the thread, so they can see the holes in the faulty argument from the climate skeptic. I'm under no illusions of being able to change the mind of the person I'm talking to, considering how they'll put anecdotal personal observations and opinions ahead of rafts of scientific evidence. :)

  33. Just to clarify, for the people above who didn't read the first three words of my comment: I'm not American. And I don't especially care whether you identify as a Republican, Democrat or Independent. I wouldn't want to set foot in your country, and if you own a gun, you're part of the reason why.
    28
  34. I'm just going to go ahead and say what we're all thinking: the reason Trump and his supporters hate the BLM protestors is specifically because of their cause - NOT because of their tactics. Complaints about "violence" and "looting" are a red herring.
    26
  35. I need to be more like this teacher. A real role model.
    25
  36.  @karenwillexposeyou2542  "There is totally evidence; I haven't seen it myself, but trust me you guys, it's totally real." Wow, colour me convinced. [eyeroll]

  37. They say a picture is worth a thousand words - but I don't recommend looking at a picture of Trump on a full stomach.
    25
  38.  @karenwillexposeyou2542  Republicans don't know what socialism even *is*.
    22
  39. I believe the term for a move like this is "Checkmate." The Republican vote riggers have lost.
    22
  40.  @kennethmory1803  Yes, let's move the goalposts a bit. I'm sure nobody will notice.
    21
  41.  @cg1906  Your point is absolutely valid and I won't argue with you about it because you are right. However at the same time, ex-Republicans and ex-Trump voters have the power to swing this election decisively. Every single one of them that we convert is two votes closer to kicking Trump out of office. Ads like this will have a far better chance at breaking through to them that they've been cheated. We have to be prepared to meet them where they're at - not where we'd like them to be. That's all, and again, I don't disagree with you - you won't catch me slobbering over Reagan any time soon. <3

  42.  @DoctorTerrible  Or, and I'm going to really push the boat out here - maybe you don't see the problem with white supremacists being given preferential treatment?

  43. "He slipped and fell in the shower." ~ equally believable excuses.

  44. Crowder trolls arriving to deliver "friendly ribbing" in 3, 2, 1...

  45. These are the real heroes we need.

  46. He says "I don't want to get too graphic", then he gets graphic and starts talking lurid falsehoods out the back of his head.

  47. What I'm genuinely curious about, and I don't mean this with any disrespect, but what extra security does she want schools to be provided with? Biometric scanners? Sniffer dogs? What is the reason she's so worried about security in the first place? Did something happen to her daughter? Answers will be read and gratefully appreciated.

  48. "America is a Democratic nation."

  49. I don't see what's funny about that...
    16
  50.  @DoctorTerrible  What she said is that white supremacists seem to be getting preferential treatment from the cops - which plainly they are - see how the police bend over themselves to make excuses for the shooter. So either you ran your mouth without understanding anything about the situation, or you approve of white supremacists being given preferential treatment versus Black Lives Matter protestors.
