Time to boycott all Paramount and Skydance except for the Daily Show... which they may cancel next.

Well given paramount is scraping their deal with Southpark things they own that I would watch are basically at zero anyway.

I wonder why oh why they would sour on SouthPark after spunking so much money to get it

The new Jubilee "surrounded" with Mehdi Hasan surrounded by 20 far right wingers...is a wild ride. He holds his own, but man it's insufferable to listen to the twits defend Donald...and admit to fascism.

there's a dude about 25min in that is...unhinged...and I would say he should end up on a watchlist somewhere...

I've seen some of the clips and yeah how he stayed so calm in the face of the awful bigoted nonsense is incredible. That one dude with the backwards cap just telling him to get out of the country is just awful.

Can someone explain the red flag system in that? What are they for? Is it a "you're not doing well against this guy maybe time to step back?

Edit: I was wrong, apparently raising a red flag is not meant to be seen as a bad thing it means they think the debate in the topic has reached a conclusion and they can move on to a new topic. You either time out in 20 min or if enough people raise a red flag saying they think the topic is done.

Yeah that's what I thought. Like a bunch of them went up when the girl going "only those born here are citizens" suddenly went "oh my parents are immigrants but they don't count"

The guy who says "I have this thing, I have to try to stay calm"....like that just smacks of domestic violence...like "How dare you make me hit you" energy.


Those people are ALL lost causes, some worse than others.

You know in a video game and you're on your last life, and you have next to no power left and you're PROBABLY cooked and will have to respawn or start over and you start doing Hail Mary careless nonsense dancing around like an insane person and just HOPING you make it thorough the boss room or whatever?


That's what this feels like. This guy knows that come hell or high water he's PROBABLY cooked and that the Epstein stuff is what will probably take him down (if not his congestive heart failure)...and he's dancing around trying his best to not get nailed down by any of this stuff, but he looks like an insane flailing monkey as he does it?

https://www.newsweek...treason-2102486


Like this dude is hell bent on pinning his own crimes only on democrats, like FFS these people want Clinton prosecuted for Epstein (good, if he's guilty fuck him)....but they are trying to do that WHILE avoiding Trump being named in papers that are about his best friend of 15 years...and also trying to wrangle Obama into that (in what I assume is STILL vengeance for that joke at the Dinner all those years ago)...like this is a clinically insaner level of trying to get past that final boss and knowing you're cooked.

It might be flailing and deflection from a desperate and addled mind, but that doesn't mean he won't actually arrest and hold sham trials for and ultimately execute his political enemies.

Wonder if he'll publicy execute Obama and the Clintons or if they'll mysteriously hang themselves in prison while the security cameras have magically blacked out (behind the wings of the angels?... another Trump-mas miracle!).

I wouldn't put it at 100% but it is a double digit potential.

But if Trump illegally exercises his core presidential powers to imprison him (and Bill Clinton, along with Hillary) and preemptively pardons his lackeys, Trump is also immune. For example, if he orders some loyal fascists in the military to do it. Wouldn't even need a proper prison---though Trump is probably hoping for Alcatraz, unless he'd like something closer to the White House or Mar-a-Lago---and Trump might even prefer a shiny gilded cage... could sell signed versions---Trump Cages, for the Leftist Scum you "citizen's arrest"... best to buy in bulk! Seriously though if he arrests Obama riots will break out... but that might be just what Trump wants, if his aim is to find a pretext for martial law and "postponing" the midterms. Still, I think it's unlikely...

It's unlikely in Year 1, for sure. Year 2...maybe a bit less unlikely. Year 3...Year 4...Year 5?
