Things we'd be talking about if the forum wasn't deadFollow

Speaking of the Senate, Cindy McCain (wife of John McCain) is poised to take a job at the State Department. A cushy gig too, since they don't really know what they'll do with her:

"Each man has his price, Bob, and yours was pretty low."

So I decided I'd watch the new Bill Nye show on Netflix



How the actual **** did we go from talking about water vapor to this? You know, every time Joe Sixpack uses a word like "snowflake" or posts a retarded meme on Facebook crying about trans people and public bathrooms I roll my eyes. The whole idea of the millennial college student who needs a safe space was just supposed to be some absurd strawman that represented 0.00001% of the actual population.

Then I see **** like this, and I start to wonder. This is not some confused tween girl on Tumblr who's going through a phase. This is ******* Bill Nye in association with a whole lot of other grown-*** adults producing this show.

All this time I've been laughing at my wife's family of ignorant backwater hicks and the inanity behind the last election and everything before and after while they become progressively less reasonable and more open and proud about their willful stupidity. Then something like this comes along like some horrible dump truck of validity for them. It doesn't make them right. **** no. It's just starting to look like a race to see who can be the most retarded, and everyone is winning.

Looks as though Macron is in a solid lead over Le Pen for president of France.

Because the French people saw what a shitshow strident right-wing nationalists are.

I suppose having it happen two days before the election rather than several months before helps as well. Probably more of the first thing though.

I don't get it, the message is just 'don't hate on gays". You know that's not considered radical anymore, right? That's the mainstream position. I was expecting something about genderfluidity or something controversial in the centre, but this is some weak hash.

The cartoon itself is pretty garbage, but then it is literally propoganda.

Are they the same people that just don't understand that married doesn't mean happily married?

You could start with explaining why it was okay for the vanilla to try to convert the other flavors but somehow the other flavors doing it is undermining it's religion.

Apparently. No one is being coy here; people are legitimately scratching their head sand wondering what you're going ape irate over.

Wait. You think the message was to convert straight people to homosexuality?

That much I can agree with. Plus it was just sort of annoying to watch. I don't need to spend time on screaming ice cream cones running around. But my reaction was "This is kinda dumb", not "OMG this ruins everything!!!"

Vanilla should have told the others that "It's just obvious" and left it at that.

It isn't ok. No one said it was. Is this really that hard for you?

I realize it isn't a big deal if your perspective is that is only from this video. The thing is. It's not. This kind of sentiment is becoming more and more common. Progressives used to be the voice of reason, but their fragile credibility has been completely destroyed. I'm not in any way being dramatic when I say our country is doomed-- and the blame rests entirely on the laziness and apathy of those who would otherwise might have been able to convince enough people to not let this happen.

If that is hard to understand, think of it this way: We have x number of years, possibly decades of completely unopposed Republican policy to look forward to. Once Trump has had his 8 years, it'll be Ted Cruz, or Newt Gingrich, or some other fucking slob. Every facet of government will be stuffed with backwater hicks like Joe Wilson. Why? Because instead of tearing down real issues like we were in the 90s and 2000s, we are all too busy arguing about whether or not a fucking tranny can use his preferred public toilet-- and when the average Joe Fuckhead goes to vote, that will be the first and probably the only thing he thinks about.

Maybe. Of course, that's what they said in 2008 about the Democrats.
