Yeah, and a side effect of refuting gosh gallop, if you even can, is that you end up wasting your time on the floor instead of discussing your points.

I firmly believe you have identified the correct answer.

A lot of other song suggestions in this thread are actually decent and come down to taste, but this fucking song came to mind immediately.

I couldn’t stomach watching that first debate, so I wasn’t sure if you were messing around.

You were not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUtVNEl9aJE

Yeah, this is just down there with the right making fun of Kamala’s laugh.

Someone’s taking the piss out of it on google, got a laugh

That reminds me of the Obama/Romney debate

Yeah, definitely a double standard on mic control. Any time he opened his mouth they turned his mic on, she tried once and they did a hard pass. Hell, even while they refuted his dog eating claims his mic was on talking over the moderator.

And that’s because all of the media loves Trump. They have a bias, sure, but they know the crazy shit he says sells views/headlines and that’s their business, informing the public is a byproduct.

I hate to agree but I don’t think you’re wrong, and accept the down votes in advance. She did some things well though, the trolling on rallies was actually her sneakiest trick to rattle him. I think she could’ve performed better but maybe she learned some lessons for a second debate.

Overall I think there was a double standard on mic control, whenever he wanted to talk they let him. He even got to speak during fact checks, what the fuck is that? On the flip side, they didn’t unmute her on rebuttals and he made a point to tell her to shut up if she spoke over him.

Maybe, but in addition it’s like a social fabric/contract. I don’t want carts everywhere dinging my car up or taking up spaces and because no one else wants that either we all (most of us) tacitly accept to return carts to avoid this problem.

Al Davis

Davis was active in civil rights, refusing to allow the Raiders to play in any city where black and white players had to stay in separate hotels.[3][4][5] He was the first NFL owner in the modern era to hire a black head coach (Art Shell),[6][7] the first to hire a female chief executive (Amy Trask),[8] and the first NFL owner to hire a Latino head coach (Tom Flores).[9] He remains the only executive in NFL history to be an assistant coach, head coach, general manager, commissioner, and owner.[10][11][12]

Apparently his father was a pretty cool guy, advocated for civil rights by refusing to play in cities with segregation.

FWIW I didn’t down vote you, but I don’t think all malice is equal. Driving with a heart condition or narcolepsy and killing someone isn’t the same as driving through a crowd to get revenge.

Yeah, I just don’t see the comparison the OP made here. I’m willing to relent that Britain has done more harm than good to India but I’m no expert so I’d defer to someone smarter here.

But the even crazier thing is that the article isn’t even talking about famine caused by the British Raj… No, they’re saying Churchill was the aggressor and Hitler was pushed into a fight he didn’t want. And the craziest part is the statement that the concentration camps were mercy kills to prevent starvation.

Looked it up, referring to this?

Churchill’s policies to blame for millions of Indian famine deaths, study says

I think the major difference here is malice. Did Churchill set out cause these deaths or was it greed and/or stupidity? Honest question worth discussion, I haven’t heard of this prior.

I don’t normally reply with something so blunt but this is a pretty shitty comment. This kind of half speak rhetoric is a major issue causing misinformation and its usage is far too pervasive.

And I’m not even saying you’re wrong but if you want to prove the point the burden is on you.

I don’t think it bodes well she sat with Putin at a conference, whether there was “language barriers” or not.

Yeah, might be cliche but I agree. The soldier buried here can’t speak for their position, leave them to rest.

I think we can all agree aesthetics are subjective. The down votes are likely for saying anything positive about something related to Musk (or just folks who disagree). Which, to your point, would be an interesting experiment: put one in front of people who don’t know who made it and see what they think.

I would argue they were just better at hiding the same type of shit these modern politicians are thinking and saying. Now it’s just acceptable. Then you had Howard Dean dooming himself for a cowboy scream.

Harris should hold a town hall at the exact same time…
