It will still go through, though............

A bill -- finalized yesterday, has not been scored, amendments not allowed, and 3 hours final debate -- should be viewed with caution.

Antifa behaviors are fascist. What don't these boneheads get? They're marching around in all black attire, under the blag flag banner, promoting violence against those who disagree with their views, supporting none of the traditional means of discourse, but claim they're anti-fascist??? Time to grab some of these dip####s by their nose rings and give them a good shake. Also, the "right" is killing it on humor? She must have a real interesting sense of humor if she thinks the alt-right is funny.

Wow, someone with an opinion, and a vid camera, at the same time, crazy. I feel so much more enlightened.

Well handled. Of course, he has experience... remember #CancelColbert? That was a fun one.

The left is still rolling in the mainstream, but are losing major ground with new media (youtube and podcasts), which skews to a younger and more influence-able audience. The youtube SJW channels there consistently losing ground to the alt-right.
Joe Rogan has the most popular podcast in the world (or close to it) with around 100 million listens per month, and he regularly has funny right people: Steven Crowder, Gavin McInnes, Milo, Alex Jones (Alex Jones on Joe Rogan is the most popular podcast of all time), etc.
The left has gotten ridiculously pious since Trump has been elected, and piety gets old fast. The right is armed with free speech and being taboo, which is highly conducive to funny.

Things I learned today: fragile, white dude bros are on the cutting edge of comedy. Rogan is popular because, much like Fox News, he plays to the lowest common denominator.

I thought Rogan was popular because he panders to MMA-watching meatheads?

Totally unrelated though, but it's good to see Chris Rock still near the top. His social observations and commentary that he works into his comedy are among the best in the business. I saw him in Winnipeg back before he was a household name and I thought he was really funny, but he was literally booed offstage.

everyday that goes by gives me more reasons to never even think of stepping foot in the USA.
really seems to becoming a totalitarian fascist regime from my admittedly thin knowledge of the subject. someone here who has studied fascism in depth want to offer an analysis?

its amazing to me how the GOP railed about Obamacare being "rammed through the legislative process"...
and now, their replacement doesn't even have a CBO score attached to it?!
it's appalling and the height of hypocrisy...

I've never really viewed them as right or left. Seems like they just rip on both extremes the same, you do something stupid and they'll call you on it.

They're self-professed libertarians. I actually would enjoy South Park more if it weren't for the millions of mindless, parroting South Park fans.

Yeah, same. Their goal is to make everyone look at themselves to see how dumb their view points can look to others. They bash liberals, conservatives, every race, every religion (even atheists), rich people, poor people, every nationality (none more so than themselves).
After 20 years, they have probably picked on everyone and hopefully pointed out at least one way we should laugh at ourselves.
