It's going to be interesting to see what becomes of Fox in 20 years or so. What with the average viewer being in their sixties.

I was in a loving Honey Dew Donuts this morning and had to be subjected to Fox and Friends and the knowledge that Christian Dominionist Terrorist Mike Pompeo and Crooked Former NJ Governor (redundant) Chris Christie apparently are now the co-chairs of the GOP's redistricting efforts. It doesn't even make sense because this place usually just plays the local news.

The strange thing is, somehow new Garrison comics continue to come out. Somehow authentic as well. Is this the work of a copycat or has garrison found a way to post from hell? Only you can solve the mystery by pissing on garrisons grave.

Not sure if the thread's already brought this up, but apparently Fox's streaming service is bringing back COPS. I'm sure the new incarnation is going to be different, what with Fox's flair, the brand new kind of cop worship that we've seen spring up, and the lack of really any FCC oversight you'd have to worry about on a normal channel, but I'm not sure to what extent. Also curious how long it takes them to participate in and/or cover up a copmurder. One year?

I think several of the shows that mimicked COPS were ended after they realized that it could open the door to some lawsuits. I like the “we are giving first responders a free year” because that makes it easier to radicalize them with the rest of the crazy on there.

Correct, there's some argument to be made that putting cops on camera improves their conduct, which leads to the justification behind body cams. "Live PD" is the only really successful variation that I can think of, and it's slightly more problematic in that it turns specific cops into minor celebrities.

Live PD also got cancelled but they may have brought it back already

Came across a good example for Mike Lindells company going down the shitter is that even though customers are still contacting the Better Business Bureau over lovely products and ripping the customer off, their standard response now is...quote:We do not recognize the Better Business Bureau as a legitimate company. Therefore, we will not be responding to any further communications. https://www.bbb.org/us/mn/chaska/profile/pillows/my-pillow-inc-0704-96152336/complaints Keep pumping that money into helping Trump Mike.

There's a very funny piece in Breitbart by John Nolte:quote:Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.

I can't believe the wicked left is trying to get people not to take the vaccine by telling them to take the vaccine. While KNOWING that the right hates them and will never do what they're told no matter what. Is there nothing they won't stoop to?

If you wanted a silver lining of 9/11, it's that poo poo wouldn't happen that same way again - politics would not be "paused" to let authoritarians do whatever they want to the rapturous applause of the entire nation. We watched domestic terrorists try to overthrow democracy and half the country supported it, including the politicians they wanted to kill.

Failing because doing it this way means that chuds would have to admit that they were tricked by the libs, which means that they were owned, which they can't accept because they can only own and never are owned. So they can't get the vaxx.

DarkCrawler posted:That piece is indeed very funny. So, so close. It'd be funny if it weren't so loving depressing. I've half joked since Obama was president that dems could get poo poo passed that they wanted if they pretended to be against it and poo poo like this is almost proof. That dumb poo poo is in line with these morons asking "you ever notice it's only republicans and RWM talk show hosts getting sick? Makes ya think, huh?" levels of bullshit. When they're the ones refusing free vaccinations and calling the whole thing a hoax. Now it's...whatever that op-ed was? Come the gently caress on. I just...I dunno how to function on this planet trying to interact with these people. It's legit depressing and actually loving up my professional life. They're actively refusing masks and vaccines - being belligerent about it and wearing it as a badge of courage or freedom - but now I guess it's some weird liberal plot to wipe them out because getting a widdle biddy shot in the arm is microchip fascism or...something. You really REALLY could (probably anyway) get these dopes on board with single payer health care if you ran on a platform of calling it a Republican idea that Joe Biden hates or something. I mean, Biden does but still...It's almost to the level of "please don't drink bleach because it's bad for you" and the MAGA's respond by chugging it by the gallon. It's real "Don't throw me in the briar patch" type of poo poo. I'm surrounded by these idiots and just constantly draw blanks with them.

I've definitely had conversations like that with conservatives. The crazy rear end partisan position coming against the plainly obvious reality. They recognize it but they can't quite figure what to do with it because they refuse to say "I was wrong" or give up that partisan thing. Like I had this argument with a family member a few weeks back where they were angry that you needed proof of vaccination to get into a restaurant. "I think its wrong that they're acting like the vaccination solves everything." Oh good, I agree. We should still be taking social distancing, masking, and testing precautions. "Oh no, I don't want that." But you just said we're still in danger with the vaccine. "Yes, the liberals are lying and saying we're safe." But your solution to that is to just let the unvaccinated people into the restaurant too which would only put everyone at greater risk. "..." There is no actual solution, its just cognitive dissonance playing out in real time and at war with the cult think.

Two things in that article stand out to me:quote:leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated. Setting aside the "Biden/Pelosi/Fauci are leftists" thing. "I can't possibly imagine people genuinely caring about others, so it must actually be a secret plot to kill them." And even from the mindset of "It would be great if all my political opponents died," yeah maybe it would but covid doesn't affect just right wingers. If it was a non-communicable disease then maybe it'd be a different story, but their lack of vaccinations can harm vulnerable people who genuinely can't get the vaccine so it isn't just a matter of "it only affects people I hate." It can affect people we like, too. quote:How many of you were aware the CDC believes that 99.5 percent of those dying are unvaccinated? I bet not many of you. So why would the metric that is the most convincing one not be all over the place? Once you learn that 99.5 percent of deaths are unvaccinated, it cuts through all the muck. That number is startling, an eye-opener… Forget cases, forget mandates, forget masks, and Howard Stern… When you learn that almost everyone dying is unvaccinated, that’s a come to Jesus moment. John my man, I got some bad news for you about how right wingers view the CDC. They would claim this number is made up, that it's fake news, it's trying to trick people into getting a dangerous experimental mind control jab, that it's actually the vaccinated that are dying or even that hospitals are just purposely letting people die of covid for sweet sweet money. The fact that the CDC thinks that 99.5 percent of covid deaths are unvaccinated isn't an eye opening, startling, come to Jesus moment, they think it's a lie or they straight up don't give a gently caress.
