Kind of hard to listen to RWM anger about Biden when "grab em by the pussy" Trump was excused as "locker room talk", and Roy Moore was still better than ANY Democrat. Not excusing Biden in the least, my neck just hurts from the 180 and NOW they care about this behavior.

Weirdly I'd much rather listen to RWM be angry about Biden's behavior than listen to liberals claim that this is all a Russian plot to discredit Biden and that he didn't have any malice in his actions so him being grabby is totally fine.

And the wedding ring. Isn't Shapiro the guy who always has to feature it to prove his awesome sexual discipline? Or is that Walsh? I get these factory built conservatives mixed up sometimes.

I thought that was Walsh but now I think it might be Crowder since I remember him having a lot of really awkward photos where he's positioned his hand like he's giving a half-assed pledge of allegiance so you can see his wedding band.

I've heard some people advance the idea that it should be remembered he wasn't being intentionally creepy, but even then they made it clear that his half-apology was unacceptable, and he needed to own his fuckups instead of trying to "I'm sorry you feel that way" his way out.

Same, because RWM is hypocritical but right in this case, whereas I'd like to expect better from liberals + the left.

Yeah she kinda sucks because she tries to do good poo poo but then bristles and gets pissy when poc call her out on her dumbass white feminism bullshit. She is seemingly incapable of taking criticism or learning from it at this point which makes her a fundamentally lovely ally. Like if nothing else I suppose I can appreciate that her heart is mostly in the right place but I sorry that's not enough for someone with so many resources at their disposal.

I can get behind this. There are different levels of creepy behavior, and I don’t think he’s a complete monster, but he needs to own up to his past. Biden’s biggest flaw, from what I’ve seen, is that he doesn’t appreciate how the world has moved on and things people put up with* in the 80’s are no longer acceptable.

*This isn’t saying those things were “okay” at the time, just that a powerful white man could do them without being challenged.

Let's be honest here, he didn't have much of a reputation to ruin in the first place. Finding out the sassy dumb guy from News Radio / color commentator for the UFC is a huge fascie rear end in a top hat isn't a particularly devastating development.

At this point the chuds don't really care about 'hiding the power level', so to speak. Even their mainstream voices are fully on board with torture, concentration camps, censorship os opposition and such, and the online ones are worse.

The whole 'we hate nazis!' bit is already fading fast from conservatism, and will be gone before the last boomer is gone to tut-tut at the rude kids. Not to mention that since they already tune out all criticism as a dare to be actively worse, normalizing nazism as just another thing lefties whine about is on full swing.

Even Steve King was basically coming out of Auschwitz with an abacus last year and going "Well, that was a bit rough, but you know what was -really- bad? Commies!"

earlier on the podcast had a vast array of guests. it's only more recently (within the past couple of years - almost aligned directly with trump's rise) that it got really bad with these people. i think he's had jordan peterson on five times in the past year or so.

Louie Gohmert responded to the Christchurch shooting with "He should have used the ballot box to accomplish his goals." You know, his goals of ethnic cleansing. That and Trump's insistence that white nationalist terrorism isn't a big deal got a brief mention and were forgotten when it came time to defend Chelsea Clinton.

If Andy Dick can be believed (a sentence that comes with a planet sized grain of salt), he was a rotten chuddy homophobic rear end in a top hat all the way back to the 90s on News Radio and he got by being able to hide it really well but now that we're in hellworld he doesn't need the mask anymore.

While the homophobia could've just been him having problems with Andy Dick and his Andy Dick-ness, I can believe that he's always been a chuddy, homophobic and misogynistic rear end in a top hat just based on some of his stand-up and also hosting The Man Show (which to be fair, Jimmy Kimmel also did but he's clearly left that in the past). Also apparently some of the stuff Andy Dick has said has also been corroborated by other people who've been around him. Howard Stern, Andrew Dice Clay, some of his closer friends, etc.

Yeah. Like not to shoot the messenger or anything but Andy Dick is as equally awful as Joe Rogan is just in the opposite direction. But there's enough evidence out there at the moment that in this instance I believe him.

His podcast was very good a few years ago. It’s still good when he has good guests, problem is, the guests are distinctly more poo poo now. Also it’s literally millions not thousands.

His claim has always been that he has gently caress You money from Fear Factor so he can do whatever he wants, but he’s clearly discovered that the young right wingers butter his bread. I think he’s become very uncomfortable with the amount of influence he has though. He keeps trying to avoid it, but it’s true, his audience is massive and he swings the needle. He gets more listeners than cable news channels.

She realised being one mediocre voice on the left side wasn't lucrative enough so she went for the right-wing PoC dollar. Per Wikipedia:

quote:

In 2015, Owens founded the website Degree180.[5][2] The website frequently posted anti-conservative and anti-Trump content, including mockery of his penis size.[5][13] In a 2015 column that Owens wrote for the site she criticized conservative Republicans, writing about the "bat-poo poo-crazy antics of the Republican Tea Party", adding, "The good news is, they will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope), and then we can get right on with the OBVIOUS social change that needs to happen, IMMEDIATELY."[2][10][14][15] When BuzzFeed News in May 2018 reported on the anti-Trump content on Degree180, Owens described the BuzzFeed reporter as a "despicable creature" and alleged that Buzzfeed had threatened the former writers of Degree180 (an allegation that Buzzfeed denied).[5]

This is not really any more of an issue than tracking TV/movie watching, radio listens, internet video streaming etc. As in, everyone knows it'll be off somewhat because you can't know it precisely unless the amounts are very tiny, but you can still differentiate thousands versus millions.
