  1. It's a fake. For starters the 252"k" views shouldn't be lowercase.
  2. It's not a cop out. Historically, the world stays "fucked" yet moves on and quality of life for most continues to improve...thanks to technology, communication, diversity, evolution, etc... Just stay in the last 100 years. What was the consensus view of parents in the mid-20s? Mid-40s? Mid-60s? I just disagree if you think there's certainty that the situation or future forecast today is different than it may have been in countless points in the past.
  3. Pete's got his work cut out for him to be worse than McNamara or Rummy. I obviously hope he's less impactful on the world than they were.
  4. Least qualified is anyone ever named "MarkWayne"
  5. At that point we had over a 100k troops in Iraq and probably already 20k in Afghanistan. Lots of bullshit going on at that exact time, definitely making us the world leader at the time.
  6. Can you name me a point in time where the world wasn't fucked up? I don't like Hegseth either but the hyperbole year after year after year gets to be a bit much.
  7. Depends on how you look at it, I guess. Not standing up for Navin, BUT: ~152 million people voted, out of a pool of ~245 million eligible voters. So yes, minors and anyone else not eligible sat out but nearly 2/3 of those that could have voted, did. Turnout in non-swing states has a big impact on the overall numbers. The results, even from a technical minority of people, are a good representation nationally of what people want.
  8. I don't think the "populace" does any research at all, but without much digging it's not hard to find the flaws in crime statistic reporting, among other measures like jobs. The combination of a politically valuable data point combined with problematic data gathering typically just leads to people spinning the numbers however they want to form the narrative they want. Do any of you follow the Marshall Project? They have a lot of good coverage on the reporting of crime stats, namely how problematic it is today.
  9. So no more foreign wars but we're immediately gonna go take back the Panama Canal, peacefully?
  10. "Great call." FUCK you, Kirk. This isn't a September skirmish.
  11. This is the bullshit main ref. https://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2024/september/28/jerry-magallanes-head-ref-who-overturned-felton-td-was-suspended-acc-2015#google_vignette They also ref'd OSU vs Tennessee.
  12. Howard and Day both are puckered tighter than a lizard's ass about now. Here comes their melt.
  13. Fuck it call targeting. It was that more than anything. More I watch it he looks almost knocked out.
