It's not a good summer if there's not at least a few gross misdemeanors every day.

The good 20 seconds of Who is America is always on 100 other tv shows the next day anyway. The full show is not very good.

tarlibone posted:The most common pejorative I hear for Democrats is "Dems" at the higher end of the etiquette scale (I can't remember the last time I saw "Dems" used in anything but a negative comment about the party or its supporters), and "libtards" at the... uh, not-so-high end of the etiquette scale. I say dems just as a lazy way of saying democrats. I do hate them, but not in the way you're getting at. "democrat party" and "demon rats" are both old dittohead poo poo

GutBomb posted:But it’s not going to come crashing down. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed and trump is going to be re-elected. There isn’t a single 2016 trump voter that is not going to vote for him again in 2020 and he’ll probably get all of the “I’m a republican but I’m voting for a 3rd party candidate because gently caress Hillary” votes next time around too because he’s normalized himself. Even if Kavanaugh does somehow get torpedoed, they still get to confirm someone no matter what, so they've won regardless. This whole circus will be for naught. The only thing unique about this guy is he believes that a sitting president can't be indicted; everyone on their list is a loving monster.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Honestly it would be great if someone could use this shitshow to justify ending the Supreme Court as a political institution but I know that’s not going to happen. It’s one of those things where everybody is aware how bad the system is, but rather than wanting to fix it (say, by having justices serve for fixed length terms with staggered retirements so that every presidential term gets the same number of nominations and said nominations don’t have the power to influence decisions for decades after the president’s term has ended), they just want to take turns exploiting it when conditions favour them. American democracy is kind of dead tbh.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:You’d never get the Dems for it either, the DNC firmly believes that Trump is a statistical anomaly and that nationally they’re winning when it comes to social issues. And they might be right, but the last 60 years have proven just how quickly being on the right side of social issues can flip between the parties. Polling would seem to indicate that they are right, the problem is they're too chickenshit to do anything about it.

Bust Rodd posted:This episode was really cool and good but I have to admit I had no idea that Brazil was the 5th largest country in the world. Who could blame you, what with all that land that no white man has ever seen and all, I'm surprised anyone knows about Brazil!

swickles posted:I remember learning in middle school that Brazil was huge (mid 90s) and the narrative then was that it was a sleeping giant similar tonthe US before WW2 and all of the sudden something will happen that will make Brazil a top 3 economy overnight. From what I heard, in the 2000s they were doing pretty well because of high oil prices, but cheap rear end shale oil production in the US and Canada tanking the price hurt them pretty bad.

"boof" is what large dogs say instead of woof, because they're big. Somewhere in the depths of my mind it sounds like a 70s term for fuckin and that would track I guess but it's all moot now anyway, if it ever wasn't.

I had just assumed they liked making fun of scientology because, come on, who doesn't? If I noticed the "xenu next week" thing though I've completely forgotten it.

Craptacular! posted:I wasn’t trying to say “I’ll vote for Republicans with horrendous ideas,” but communicate why I stick to this show even though I ignore all other TDS contemporaries and feel like the ‘smug liberal comic takes on the news’ genre hurts more than it helps in driving turnout. I don't follow. How does you not liking LWT reduce voter turnout?

Bust Rodd posted:Ok so what’s the word for someone who leans left of center and doesn’t like the current system and does want radical change for his friends of different skin colors and cultures? If that’s not liberal (because I don’t live in the suburbs and don’t have a gently caress You Got Mine attitude) then what am I? I swear this thread is using different definitions than anywhere else and I’ve been having this discussion pretty much daily for like 4 years. It always depends who you ask, moreso in the current climate. The thing that seems missing from this discussion is that when chapo types say liberal, what I hear is neoliberal, which is by turns both correct and intentionally misleading since what it refers to is economic liberalism, rather than US "liberals," which has effectively just become "anywhere left of the republicans," which in fairness isn't even leftist at all necessarily, and definitely not in practice looking at the democrats. Basically flavors of leftism are like metal subgenres, there's as many as you care to look for and nobody can agree who the true Scotsman is.
