      Absolutely coorect, and I just realized how impenetrable of a cult you can create if you just base it’s entire existence on a single rule of being aware and satisfied of being hypocritical. Thank you, who knows, might turn out to be useful some day!

      I guess what I don’t get that these people get is a sense of power by bending reality for the benefit of themselves, instead of a sense of power from understanding the nuances of the universe, or at least attempting to.

    Ya know, I don’t really like Kimmel: growing up he and Adam Carolla (lol) did the man show, and even as a kid I just thought he was a not-funny low brow asshole. But I’m glad he’s stirring the shit-pot here. Let it not be a typical media distraction, but a continual provocation for these pricks to be sloppy and show their hand, and a call to action for enough of the American people to wake up and start saying no to the shit that is eating them alive.

      I can’t help but remember it’s a big club and i think Kimmel is in it.

      So then i think they all in on it and aren’t as mad as they are acting.

      I also can’t stand Kimmel for so many reasons. He really isn’t funny. The only funny part about this distraction is that Trump isn’t wrong on what he says about Kimmel.

    Goomba fallacy everyone, the same people, outside of mainstream influencers running a business on this crap, are not holding these directly conflicting stances in >90% of cases. Don’t fall for efforts to dehumanize those that disagree with you and just ask questions instead. Why do you think this type of rhetoric is bad? Should comedians be held to the same standard as lawmakers and enforcers? Why or why not

    The Republicans don’t care that they are hypocrites. Their electorate doesn’t care they are hypocritical. These tweets are not a gotcha, it’s just engagement bait.

      Kimmel said something like,“Melania has the glow of an expectant widow” and, after someone translated it for Melania, she got angry. Then the winger snowflake brigade started their bitching and whining. Oh yeah, and the head of the FCC made another threat to broadcasters licenses if they keep not toeing the party line.

        If you consider typing up 3 paragraphs of disparagement a better use of your time than sharing the knowledge with other people, you might want to touch some grass.

              You should be embarrassed, because you had to lie about me throwing a tantrum when I made a simple observation and a valid point.

              If I was throwing a tantrum, you wouldn’t need to make a comment in the first place, and you would have responded with a rational argument, not a cartoon.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  I bet you still use words like “condescending” when you hear things you don’t like, lol

                  How strange it must be for you to consider yourself intelligent yet to still have children speak down to you… What an odd experience that must be… how puzzling and strange… Tell me, have you figured out how to tie your own shoes yet?

            I guess you skipped reading the words and went straight to typing a reply. I fail to see how I could have prove your point when instead of a point you made a rant.

        Yeah before the internet, if a group of people were talking about something I didnt understand I would say “what’s this?” Rather than excusing myself to go to the library.

          You’re right, by my point was about why the difference is important. If you’re clever enough to make this remark, surely you get that. You don’t want a future run by idiots, do you? We all have to live with those people running the world after us. That doesn’t sound great, does it?

            So just to be clear: People who ask questions from other people are idiots to you? Seems to me like youre the one in need of asking some questions to stop being a sociopath.

            And by the way, I would much rather have the world run by people who engage with others to look for solutions, even if they dont know everything from the start, instead of people who pretend like they are perfect and try to “solve” everything by themselves or with the help of AI (which sounds very much like the US government right now).

              Your best counter argument is to make an unverifiable claim as some rando on a public forum where your comment is as meaningless as mine, lmao… The best way to contradict me is to ignore me.

              But I guess we can’t all be so clever… ;)

      He said Melania had the glow of an expectant widow. You know, because trump is an octogenarian, and Melania is younger than Kimmel.
