I just watched Problematic with Moshe Kashner on Comedy Central. It had Anne Coulter and Lucian Wintrich, who spouted off their usual crackpot bullshit about mainstream media and its unfair crucification of Trump via The Liberal Bias. This is stupid, its playing right into the Fox News style.

What Fox News has done right since its inception is play to the rubes. Fox gets a PhD, brilliant scientist on a show who explains that over the last 60 years and thousands of data points, temperatures have risen at an alarmingly high rate. Then the counterpoint is a rube who says "Well it snowed in Florida yesterday and its June!" Fox presents this as though the rube and the scientist both have equally valid points, and the dunces watching all clap.

Trying to involve these people in rational discussion is pointless, even counterproductive. It is a lowering to their level, like trying to logically explain to an 8 year old that they cant have Oreos for dinner every day.

The main non-Fox networks need to get rid of this type of programming. Why act like these people have valid points to argue against?

Jimmy Norton was also on the panel with Coulter and Wintrich but I cant bring myself to poo poo talk that sweet little cherub.

Because Comedy Central wants money and giving any hack comedian their own political talk show is the easiest and cheapest way. They've got a Jim Jefferies show lined up and another one to target black people called Hood Adjacent. It's not going to end anytime soon.

"It's to avert attention. It's like covfefe. Trending! Worldwide! Maybe for a minute you'll forget the latest accusation about them transpiring with Russia," she said. "It's the circus, right? It's what a classic authoritarian does."

She's not wrong.

In a way companies are already kinda doing this. Boeing has been relocating a lot of their jobs from Washington and California over to the South and/or Texas because those places are giving them better tax cuts and also because those places hate unions.

The problem is you're going to need to do a whole lot better to convince people like engineers to leave their coastal cities like Seattle move to shitholes like Atlanta. You'd have to pay me like twice my hypothetical Seattle salary to get me to even consider wanting to move to Atlanta, and no I don't care that "cost of living in Atlanta is less than Seattle." If I'm earning say 80k in Seattle then I'd need an offer of 160k in Atlanta to move there because you're kind of asking me for a lot and engineers are still in a position where we get to choose and be picky.

You don't know much about Atlanta do you?

There needs to be reform in the voting practices of America! Races last so long that too much time and money go into them that could be used to improve our communities; not to mention that elections being held on Tuesdays limit the amount of citizens who can express their right to vote. I say it's enough and it's time for change to come!

There was also a movie about Benghazi and Wikileaks. Never been a fan of biopics that take place so soon after the incidents; they seem to muddle the waters of what actually happened and could spread false information.

It feels weird when people complain about college not being "worth it", like I'm college educated and absolutely I feel it's super obvious that that doesn't give me anywhere near the buying power my parents had and that is a super real problem. But when I talk to people my age without college educations (who aren't in some unique situation like owning their own business or doing unique skilled trade) it seems like their finances are literally on fire at all times and they are going to die irl from it at any minute.

Like I always agree with people that the situation with the value of a college education dropping is super super hosed up and a real problem but it always seems crazy to me when people start talking about actually wishing they had not got one or telling kids not to get one. Like even with college being all hosed up it feels like going to college is your chance to be an adult who now faces issues that only used to face people in poverty while having only a highschool diploma lets you face problems that only homeless people used to deal with.

College is a privilege that employers treat as a right if that makes any sense. The way it's treated at least in the US is hosed up.

I wasn't trying to speculate about their meeting but it's just like you said, he always sits like that and that's how I always read it. It's also kind of funny because people on the donald always try to present Trump as some "alpha male" but he his body language often says the opposite.

Them not having kids is also kind of a problem because they don't have the "but what about my kids" thing when they decide to gently caress everything up for their own personal gain. No kids = no worries about what they leave for those that follow; it's not like they have a personal connection at that point.

Bobby and Peggy totally go for Hillary. Bobby's got no problems with women.
Dale won't vote because that's how the get you.
Luanne has a good chance of going for Stein given prior history rolling in with the communist, but it kind of unclear given her character development and Buddy. Buddy would probably surprise everybody by saying he's not voting for Trump.
Boomhauer would have also gone Hillary. He has no hangups to deal with.

The episode would have been about Bill falling into a MAGA cult of other fat, insecure, white men, and the gang will have to drag him out of it. Bill will be joined by Hank's boss and the B plot will be Hank having to deal with voting for Republicans in 2016. The turning point of the show would be Hank explaining the weight, power, and sanctity of the vote or something to Bill. At the end, it shows Hank agonizing in the booth before ending up leaving the president blank and casting the ballot. They'll ask him how he chose and he'll say he chose to vote or something else.
