Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I immediately watched it. It’s great to have him back.

I assume the 20 minutes YT video in the article is only a portion of the episode? If so, how long was the full thing?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

About 42 minutes. The last 3 videos on their Youtube channel (Election Rematch, the news team, and the Zanny interview) are that episode split along commercial breaks. All that's missing is a short outro (like 15 seconds) and the Moment of Zen.

I suspect you’re right, because the YT video I watched had no summary or outtro.

I’m regrettably probably going to end up signing up for paramount (again) in order to watch this, which is annoying but at least I think I will get some treks back.

I promised myself I’d only sign up for another service if I cancel one I have, though, and that’s going to be a tough choice.

It might be a day late on Paramount. If that's the case, I refuse to pay for it.

I just caught a comedy central livestream last night. Wasn't hard to find a free one. Plus if you're on the west coast you can watch the east coast airing like 3 hours early.

I let out an audible happy gasp reading the headline

it's good to have you back, Jon, we missed you terribly.

He’s so much better on the daily show than that Apple show he quit. It’s like night and day.

The hero we deserve

Biden is fantastic. People should stop bitching.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

"Trump wants to be a dictator, he thinks women and brown people are livestock, and he's hell bent on dismantling our county. But I just don't think I can vote for Biden because he's slightly older than Trump"

Those people deserve whatever happens to them if Trump gets elected.

Oh, Trump pulled your Medicare and social security and now you can't go to the doctor or buy groceries?
At least he's not as old as Biden, right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Even if Biden was the best President in the history of the U.S. that doesn't place him beyond reproach or criticism. No one is perfect and shedding light on a person's shortcomings is just as important as showing off their strengths.

I voted for Biden, and I am going to do so again, but I think these criticisms are valid.

If we don't loudly complain about their age now, then every 70 year old senator will think it's a good idea to run.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Either way a guy will be 80+ while in office I think we're too late.
