I mean, I'm sure lots of quid pro quo happens when it comes to the application of force and ultimately there's trade/financial consideration there, but you're not supposed to outright admit it.

Also, I'm sure most of those agreements don't involve hotel/condo deals but this one will for some funny reason.

Quick question about open carry laws from someone who comes from a sane country that doesn't have open carry laws. Is it against the law for someone to call the cops if they see someone else carrying a gun? Like, because I come from a sane country without open carry laws, if I were to go to an insane place that does have those laws, go into a shopping center or whatnot and see someone just happily walking by with their guns out in the open and I called the police saying "there is a guy walking around a shopping center with his gun in the open and please God I don't want to die today" would I be told "unless said person is actively shooting people there is nothing we can do?"

No, in fact if a black man is legally open-carrying, not only will the police not tell you there is nothing they can do, they will show up and murder him without warning to set an example for the others.

Even by Lindsey's standards this is pretty stupid. Being busy impeaching the President is kind of a weird thing to crow about as proof your guy did nothing wrong.

Less egregiously bad than Donald Trump isn't even a bar anyone acknowledges anymore than the one of being less wet than water.

Nah it's accurate, the House isn't busy impeaching the president, it's just an excuse to not do anything about Kavanaugh.

This is like saying "it's pretty stupid to say Pelosi is refusing to impeach, look she said Trump is self-impeaching!"

Is there a pony-eating predator in the show, that's what bronies think black people are.

They don't see other colors of human as different-color humans, they think they're a different species. Diverse ponies getting along in their minds is like diverse white people from all over Europe (no Jews or Spaniards or Muslims) getting along.

This is for American bronies. Obviously European ones don't consider eg Poles or Hungarians to be the same species as Englishmen or whatever.

I mean, Eddie Murphy has said some poo poo and he still gets to host, yea he deserves to get called a racist idiot for his dumb poo poo but it is kinda telling guys like Literally Donald Trump get to host and they smear some facepaint on Fred to be Obama and Tina Fey tells us fighting nazis is boring let's just eat cake, but this guy making stupid comments no one actually heard until they 'came to light' is a fireable offence because he's not a famous comedy person.

Like, yea it does feel kinda fake when they have been pimping having Eddy come to host this season to plug his almost certainly dull new special coming out. Raw was a pretty hilariously bigoted special in a lot of ways even for its time and I think it reached a lot more people.

I feel like it is very generational. As the discussion in comedy lately has gone, it just isn't practical to judge a comedians decade long career of work based off of contemporary standards, but also the writing has been on the wall for a while that if your comedy regularly hinges on tossing slurs around, you'll find more work in the 90s than the 2020s. Part of it probably is demographic, where every slur is just going to alienate a big segment of potential viewers for really zero benefit cuz if someone is legit funny, I guarantee they can tell a joke that doesn't hinge on yelling chink in some charicatured voice.

And yeah it is probably hypocritical (and tbh I hate snl, I have no interest in defending them), but I'm not going to fault them for trying to move things forward. I also wonder if they dug up more stuff separate from the main videos people found.
