Oh man, Trump must have been just peaking after that.

finally watched the whole Jubilee thing with Mehdi Hasan (I had only seen some of the viral snippets with Fascist Boy). As infuriating the things were that were said, it's pretty clear that Jubilee deliberately chooses the most unhinged people for this in order to generate clicks and viral moments. I mean, they had the same blonde girl in there that went viral when Sam Seder was on, and this time, she wasn't even in the top 5 of the most lunatic guests. It's also clear that the guests use this to have their 15 minutes within the far right bubble. They have proudly shared the clips of their own destruction to the tune of "OMG look how we owned the libtard". Mehdi's interview with The Bulwark was also interesting, as he insinuated that there was even more unhinged stuff and Jubilee cut some of it.

It's a shame because I think the format in itself can be interesting and there were several good episodes in the past. But the more extreme guests you pick, the more you water the format down until you there is no more meaningful discourse and all you have left is cheap clickbait.

How often do you see any TV show get a boost in funding and viewership like that almost 30 years into their run?

It will be absolutely epic if Trump focuses his time and effort and somehow gets a stroke based on what happens on f'ing South Park.

It's nice to see that their episode commitment is going up a bit with the new contract from 6 to 10 but I still wish they were putting out a few more episodes every year.

ICE tells a teenaged US citizen that he “has no rights” during violent arrest at traffic stop. They also joke about the bonuses they’re getting and throw out various racist insults.

This happened here in North Palm Beach. The kid secretly recorded it and refused to delete the video.

When you have trouble keeping your lies consistent

TRUMP JULY 15: "A very quick briefing, yeah."
TRUMP JULY 25: "No, I was never briefed. No."

I think I know how to fix America. And I was beaten to it by many years.

NSFW!

I don't think he's made any of those threats in a while. His latest comments were just that they "haven't had any luck" when it comes to negotiating a trade deal with Canada.

Granted I don't really pay attention to him much anymore, other than when it comes to trade/tariffs that directly effect Canada. Pretty much anything else that spews out of his stupid pie hole isn't worth listening to, including the annexation nonsense.

Which one? Canada or Greenland? I think there might be another one? I dont keep up much anymore.

I think he's a little pre-occupied with being pilloried by South Park at the moment.

Billionaire Peter Thiel backing first privately developed US uranium enrichment facility in Paducah#Kentucky.

This seems like a bad idea. Enriched uranium and an avowed 'ok if the world is destroyed' billionaire is how you get supervillains or a destroyed world.

At this point what do we have to lose?

I once read the book “How the Scots Invented the Modern World” and found it quite interesting
