on the one hand you really have to be thankful the QOP is so cowadly impotent to get rid of the crazies that the insurrection leader is still spouting such nonsense. maybe they should give him back his twitter account, such comments can't have enough exposure. | ||

I guess the people who died were .... ummm... paid actors? https://ca.yahoo.com/news/trump-riot-hugging-and-kissing-050632588.html Dictatorships are awful because they only do what's best for them while screwing over the people to keep their power and wealth, they don't do better but they always claim they are and make up enemies causing all the problems. This also describes Trump. Can people please stop voting for a guy who clearly wants to be a dictator? Also, can people who live in the states passing these stupid laws hang out near polling Station and catch some republican doing something super evil like delivering lemonade to voters on a really.hot day! Yeah, I mean you will always have people ready to sacrifice the truth and every bit of factual information for the sake of their narrative and their interest. The difference is that in a dictatorship everyone has to go with it, starting with the media. A disturbingly large amount of people went with Trump's bs, but there has always been a majority to see that he was lying, and a multitude of media to denounce his lies; in China, the party can rewrite history and absolutely shit on the truth and you have to go with it or they go after you. Democracy REALLY means something and is really worth fighting for. | ||

Are the late talk shows better now at least? Colbert was atrocious when I watched a year or two ago. SNL isn’t tied down to one topic as well. | ||

Snl had some all time worst episodes with an aggressively awkward and uncomfortable skit where they supported the guy who went to a party in New York during the bad days of the outbreak. They've really forgotten how to be funny and are limping along. If it wasn't an institution and leorn didn't have a dozen shows or something it would be cancelled really quickly. Everything is kinda bad still with the restrictions. Soaps are hilariously using maniquens and wigs to get around them not being able to be within 6 feet of each other. Biden's really got to take an example from bush on how to have people be funny when he's president. His late night game is bad. | ||

I guess he's got some more serious things to spent his time on than that? Can't really tell how serious your post is lol I also want to thank the people replying to my question about the mass shootings a bit back. Ender's (I think it was him) point about them being male dominated everywhere was a new perspective I havent looked at before as well as kwarks observation that some to many of the perpetrators seem to express rage and frustration about others(!) depriving them of something they have a right to recieve / own / posess (entitlement). The latter being true especially (mainly) with INCELS. There was another comment about killing others not being their last option. But I have to get back to that one at another time. Still unfathomable to me is the answer to the question why men in the US are so much more prone to be as desperate or depraved of something they feel belongs to them, that they are driven to do such atrocities. Why do you want to be remembered so badly, that it's entirely irrelevant if it's for something criminal, inhuman even? Doesn't happen in Norway, Finland, Switzerland where weapons are abundant as well. I read about anti-human-gun-ownership (assault rifles) picked up in the 80s or so and never looked back since. A quick wikipedia search only shows the # of shootings per year from 1980ish on. | ||

Why do you want to be remembered so badly, that it's entirely irrelevant if it's for something criminal, inhuman even? Makes more sense if you place it in the context of the origin of the US. A bunch of affluent white land/people owning/stealing men orchestrated genocide, enslaved people for profit and had the audacity to start an intercontinental war because they felt too oppressed. Add to that the prevalence of guns, woefully inadequate social welfare, failing educational system, growing wealth inequality, and a flailing white supremacist hegemony in an increasingly diverse population and it starts to look less confounding than inevitable. | ||
