I know you’re joking about the military and “wokeness” but let me tell y’all a little story. My son has been in the Marines around 18 months. COVID absolutely destroyed his path at Troy - he’s ADHD

I'm saying I'd like to get in my car and ram it into Sean Hannity at high speed.

Hmmm.....I'm not sure what point he's trying to make here or why something that happened half a century ago in on a news channel, but did he happen to mention that the vote on the Civil Rights Act was not split by party lines?  That those who voted against the Civil Rights Act were overwhelmingly in southern confederate states regardless of party?  And those who voted almost uniformly for the Civil Rights Act were in northern states?  And did he also mention how those people in those confederate states who were mostly Democrats at the time and their children switched to the Republican Party over the next two decades?  Was that the point of the Hannity history lesson?

Interesting trivia -- The one Confederate Senator to vote for the Civil Rights Act?  Texas's own (Democrat) Ralph Yarborough.

We frequent his library.  I doubt most people who walk past the exhibit/imagery of  him realize the size of his balls.

to our knowledge, God can't prevent physical death as well.  If someone disagrees please post examples.

Did Robertson spend any time talking about the evils of loving money while selling a book and being surrounded by stock prices on an all-business cable channel?

This shit is why fox news sucks giant dick. Incidents of marijuana poisoning increase in Quebec

https://www.foxnews.com/world/incidents-of-marijuana-poisoning-more-than-triple-in-quebec-since-legalization

Marijuana poisoning? Wow they make it sound like overdosing on alcohol or opiates. Deadly stuff right? 

Oh wait, it's not:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.civilized.life/articles/what-is-cannabis-poisoning-and-why-is-it-on-the-rise/amp.html

It's not "poisoning" it's ignorant mofos who don't know what they're doing thinking "I'll go ahead and eat this entire weed candy bar at once" and getting too high then getting paranoid and calling for an ambulance for no real reason. Also going from 25 dumb asses to 89 is a crisis big enough to create a headline Fox news story about? 

Yeah, guess it's more important than the trump crime family's latest fuckups.

While, yeah, if you don't think in blinkered black/white terms (recognizing the gray), the adviser could've been much more effective communicating to that audience by simply stating "unnecessary =/= eliminate." Maybe the light would then turn on in a few of their dimlit skulls.

We need to be better at speaking in a more clear, direct, and less nuanced manner when speaking to the People of Walmart. Unfortunately, in a democracy, their opinions matter too so it's on us to be more effective at communicating to different audiences.
