Third Wave Here?

Just for the record, I'm not saying he never makes good points. My real problem with those shows is the whole concept of listening to what essentially amounts to rants. I get enough of that at home.
Also, I tend to find myself saying 'wanker' a lot. I feel exactly the same way about Bill Maher, possibly more so.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Yep, I get the same vibe. The whole tone is "get a load of how chilling/terrible/vindictive/whatever this is" with plenty of icy sarcasm thrown in. It's why I don't watch. I'm negative enough on my own, thanks.
Please love yourself.

Aqua, I saw this mug and almost bought it for you yesterday.

My current haven't-lost-my-shit average is up to about .250 or so. I know enough to realize I'll never go pro.

Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.
That facial expression reminds of the on camera face pull made by a former POTUS when he discovered the door was locked.

@catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).
P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person
Though it is interesting that one of the richest ladies in the world is from China and made her money recycling cardboard, most of it shipped from world wide.

Zhang Yin is China's richest person, and with a net worth of $4.7 billion, she's the world's richest self-made woman.
Even more remarkably, she did it by recycling what the United States was throwing away: cardboard. -

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I donât know, the numbers staying flat while we are vaccinating over 2,000,000 a day hits me as kind of scary. If we werenât vaccinating 2,000,000 per day, how bad would it be?

I added Germany because of the new lockdowns imposed by the Merkel government.

Nope, not Slick Willy.
It was none other than Dubya....

It was none other than Dubya....Yup, Scooby, we've got work to do when it comes to selecting good leaders.
Whenever I ask myself who was our GOAT president, try though I might, I can never avoid picking George Washington.
That is kind of depressing.
I wonder, though, how many other nations feel like they have the same problem. Is it more of a human issue, rather than an apathetic Americans issue?

In Britain, most would probably say Winston Churchill rather than, say, David Lloyd George or Clement Attlee, although in reality as a politician Churchill did one thing really, really well, and made some truly horrible blunders throughout his career, where Lloyd-George and Atlee were reformers who somewhat dragged Britain out of its frankly quite embarrassing, class-ridden past. I'm sure one US-born Briton at least would vote for Bo-Jo.
How many Americans really know anything about George Washington the politician rather than George Washington the heroic champion of freedom?

I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.
I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.
Bingo!
