    TFW political discourse has devolved to a level where criticizing Netanyahu is equivocated with antisemitism. No one, and I mean no one would accuse you of hating Kyrgystanis for critiquing Sadyr Japarov. No one. Michaels couldn’t even participate in the debate without getting offended and making a dramatic exit, it’s fucking pathetic.

    Wtf is that show supposed to be? After watching the clip, it just seems like a bunch of self righteous Republicans interrupting each other with no actual discussion.

      Kirk’s shooter had some shell casings with what was originally a furry meme etched onto them, but that phrase had been co-opted by groypers and transvestigators and is more likely to be evidence that the shooter did it for the lulz than that they were furry.

      The furry community is very tight-knit, if it was one of us then we’d have figured out who the shooter was before the cops did. The only connection here is that Republicans have been trying to make the existence of furries into another front in their culture war.

          I mean of course they were. People seem to think he had them engraved specifically for this, guarantee he just did that to a bunch of bullets for hunting or whatever because he thought it would be funny

        Oh no, when did she become a conservative? I lay watched them around 2020 and she was left on most things and a liberal other times.

          It started a couple years ago when she went on a bizarre transphobic tirade, against the use of trans inclusive language. From there, it’s just been a long downward spiral.

          The whole reason she’s on this conservative talk show is because she’s been making this rightward pivot

          I used to watch them during Trump 1.0 and I enjoyed her too, but it was a little too much for me, but I remember seeing videos of her last year being a bootlicker. Not sure when it happened.

        Yeah, but at least she seems to still be on the right side of the fascist apartheid state issue.

        Not saying that it absolves her from all the other bullshit she’s been spouting since her and Cenk’s heel turn, but it’s something 🤷

          I mean, she was very much spewing shit during the election that the whole project 2025 stuff was complete hyperbole and not going to happen.

          In fairness to her she also did explicitly acknowledge she was wrong and apologize, but at the same time it takes real skill to be that stupid to begin with.

          I never got into them as I can’t take someone seriously who spent years pushing for idiocy. Its like I used to be stupids but now im smarts. Even if I agree with the particular segment or points it just feel like they went the one way and did not do well so just flipped and got traction so stuck with it until they don’t see profit and then will try flipping again.
