You are the biggest conspiracy theorist on this site but no one calls you on it.

Uh huh. Please don’t shoot up a school (even though empty), or whatever your special media is telling you to do.

Jimmy was -OK- when he was on the Young Turks, he didn't usually talk too much and they somewhat kept him grounded & fact based.

There's no point wasting hours crafting a persuasive essay to post on a forum where dissent frequently results in ridicule, bans, and glib one-line responses.

The state of the media in America is absolutely pathetic. We're in a fucked up parallel universe where annoying douchebag Tucker Carlson is more reliable source of information than anyone on MSNBC.

So yeah, keep running around in circles getting outraged because Russia hacked the election using trolls and Facebook ads instead of coming to terms with the fact that 8 years of Obama resulted in record income inequality, multiple illegal wars, a Republican healthcare plan, a divided country and the election of Donald Trump.

#1. I asked you for a couple sentences explaining the main message he was expressing, not an essay. Something along the lines of these people all believe FISA warrants are illegitimate and borderline illegal.

#2 You're not supposed to watch Tucker or those talking heads on MSNBC to get information. They are not journalists they are political commentators. They regurgitate snippets of news stories and tell you how it's supposed to make you feel. A person who uses critical thought makes their own opinions.

#3 Ok at least you’re now admitting Russia interfered in the election.

#4 Econimic policy was set by the conservatives. Obama came on TV almost everynight warning us that it makes those inequalities. Republicans told us talking about income gap and upward mobility is for socialists.

#5 Republicans ruined the Republican healthcare plan.

#6 What wars did Obama start?

I thought I recognized him from episodes of Young Toxic Turks/Turds, never expected I'd one day see him going to bat for Mike Flynn in that video!

So he "flipped" now from that show as bad as Dave Rubin did (of Rubin Report) ?? Interesting...

Can we just agree to disagree on all this, guys? We probably have a lot more in common than not. I'm tired of being stuck at home and probably need to cut back on the weed and YouTube videos.

Anyone else going a bit crazy with the lockdown? This situation can't be good for mental health...

Before this all happened, I worked pretty much every day with no more than a day off now and then. Even under the weather, I called in sick maybe twice in the last 10 years. After being furloughed, I figured now was the time to enjoy time off work for awhile however only after a week, I longed to get back to doing what I loved doing. The second week on, it was keeping busy with household projects and yard work to hold onto my mind (needless to say, coming here more often may or may not have aided my mind frame LOL). Now that I got the call and back into work, there was pretty much one day already when I say "I should've stayed home in bed!" but nah...great to be back and as the bosses have told me already on several occasions...my presence was and is sorely needed :buttrock:

Pussy. Its time to double down on the weed and ditch youtube for the insomniac twitch raves.

I’m jealous of all you stuck at home people playing games. I’ve been working crazy hours through all this. The only difference is that my family never leaves the house. Nothing like a pandemic to make you finally realize how big of a loser you really are.

It really makes me think prison is much more of a punishment than I thought it was. I was inside my flat only for a week when I thought I caught it. After a while you run out of things you want to do. It doesn't matter how many games I have if I don't want to play them. :lolz:

I think many people will realize that your personal balance between work and free time is very important. I have friends that clearly work too much. Sometimes 16 hour days. That can't be healthy in my book.

City has gotten petty, taking rims off of basketball hoops and dumping sand into a skate park.

So yesterday, someone dumped sand in front of city hall and another group organized a park cleanup and was bagging sand until cops showed up.

They're losing buy-in.

We've got a big announcement from the PM tonight about the stages to ease the lockdown. There's a lot of talk about what will be reopened, where we'll be able to go, how we can start earning some money again.

When he announces, as is almost certain, that people will be allowed to exercise twice a day instead of once I think the tide will start to turn. We'll see more cars on the roads, more people browsing standard stuff in the shops and people meeting up on the sly.

On top of that they're talking about when everyone has to go back to work public transport will be running at 10% capacity to maintain social distancing.

Their solution - widening cycle lanes.

The average commute in the UK has crept up to an hour. We'll all have to get up at 3am if we're going to be cycling as far as you can drive in 60 minutes.

The information is out there. You, poppy and Xavier refuse to even watch a YT video that lays out the case, so why the fuck should I bother? Jimmy Dore is abrasive but that doesn't mean he's wrong about Russiagate. Maybe check out The Hill TV's Rising show or Useful Idiots for a more palatable presentation.

The state of the media in America is absolutely pathetic. We're in a fucked up parallel universe where annoying douchebag Tucker Carlson is more reliable source of information than anyone on MSNBC. Biden's accuser was ignored for months until a podcaster interviewed her, then it took another month for mainstream outlets to take it seriously. They waited weeks until Biden had time to formulate a response to even ask him about it. Now the same Democratic shills and #metoo activists that were screaming "believe women" during the Cavanaugh hearings are falling over themselves to minimize Reade and justify continued support for a candidate that no one on here really likes, except maybe EW, because orange man bad. Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats voted for the horrendous CARES Act that will fuck people over for years to come and Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi suggest Trump re-open ACA exchanges so broke people that lost their jobs can purchase worthless policies from predatory insurance companies.

So yeah, keep running around in circles getting outraged because Russia hacked the election using trolls and Facebook ads instead of coming to terms with the fact that 8 years of Obama resulted in record income inequality, multiple illegal wars, a Republican healthcare plan, a divided country and the election of Donald Trump.

What about Ali vs God?

No way God could punch like Foreman, Ali by very late stoppage unless God summons plagues or something.

But if it's Vishnu and all them arms, that's a tough call.

Well we've been given our lockdown easing lecture, it seems that all the poor people now have to go back to their unsafe workplaces but they can't use public transport whilst all the better off people should continue to work from home but they are now ok to meet friends and sunbathe.

This really pisses me off. It's not sunny anymore.
