Fuck off with your stupid ass. What do you like besides sucking his balls?? Maybe stealing our freedom, cutting our benefits, gutting VA, gutting CDC, gutting NIH (then reinstating because oops!) gutting our clean air and water acts, raping the earth, or giving tax cuts to the wealthy???
Or maybe you love the hate he perpetuates, the trillions the new bill adds to the deficit, the cost of everything going up, the hate from our allies, him making deals with fucking arabs for himself and his family, or costing us millions for his golf fun?
Re: your post about the two Jews murdered in DC in which you blocked replies: The killer has no relatives in Gaza. You ignore the murders of kids at a music festival, women raped and tortured but care about the people that elected Hamas and allowed them to build 400 miles of terror tunnels.
Or at least ONE of them was a Christian German whose grandparents probably worked for the SS--making him the perfect representation of the true nature of Zionism.
The most recent shipment of "aid" Netenyahu was eventually pressured into letting through--while reassuring the Israeli people that he was only doing it to placate European and USAmerican leaders the whole time--was 50% burial shrouds.
i am not related to anyone killed by the third reich and i still care about that. by “kids”, you mean the adults at a festival outside a concentration camp in a colonial zone? the ones killed by their own country’s military under the hannibal directive? those “kids”?
Read a history book: 900,000 Arab Jews of color were driven out of surrounding countries in 1948 and most fled to Israel. That's why 51% of Israeli Jews are Jews of color. The European refugees came to Israel because it's their homeland of 5,000 years and they fled Hitler.
for anyone watching: reading a history book reveals that the zionist project is *part of* what Hitler wanted to do. Israel was created because the west wanted to get rid of their jewish population rather than make their countries safe for jews. all ethnonationalists have the same goal.
additionally, the “jews of color” line about israel framing it as being a non-racist state breaks apart when you read another history book and find out about Israel’s forced sterilization of Ethiopian jews and Netanyahu’s feelings about African immigrants.
you care more about getting revenge for imaginary beheaded infants they admitted were made up than the actual beheaded infants that we’ve seen. you care more about unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault than the actual prisoners brutally raped by the IDF on camera.
Get your head out of the sand. "the most extreme and inhumane forms of killing, torture and other horrors,” including sexual violence, she stated." https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15621.doc.htm
that very UN official clarifies that what she saw doesn’t justify the retaliation whatsoever. and again, you’re focusing on verbal reports of one single day while ignoring the video footage the entire world has seen every single day for 500 days straight
you care more about one person killing two members of a foreign government that buys all of our local and federal elections than the full on riots that zionists started because they were angry that the rapist IDF soldiers were going to be held accountable for raping prisoners.
you care more about a theocratic ethnostate across an ocean that has sheltered pedophiles who converted purely to take advantage of their colonial system than the people in your own country with whom you agree on basically everything.
it’s not too late to realize how wrong you are about all of this. unfortunately history will remember how long it took you, but it’s better to see the truth now rather than waiting until the zionist regime stands trial for their crimes against humanity
Blah, blah, blah, blah. People are dead. You don't give a fuck about them, the Israelis killed, nor the innocent Palestinians murdered by the IOF (which are MOST of the deaths.) You do not get to use them in your fascistic, genocidal, frankly antisemitic spreading of debunked zionist propaganda.
You're proving my point. You are using this as a prop to justify the genocide currently being perpareated by Israel against Palestine. You are a horrible person and a total moron.
This is why I love Trebek so much. He didn't just go "Stop saying that" or "Can we cut away" or anything like that. He just rolled with it and made it a spectacle to cause a laugh regardless of if you agreed or not.
i don’t think they would have been? people (especially returning champions) make comments that are provocative sometimes. trebek back in the day was just great at knowing how to respond
It also would have been really bad for Jeopardy if they had removed him as a contestant at that moment in the 2000s. Jennings literally and figuratively changed the rules of the game forever because he stayed on for so long and won so much money.
How did he literally change the rules? The rule change allowing champions to continue until defeated was instituted before him (and there was an 8 time winner before him)--he was just the first (and arguably greatest) to ride it to vast wealth and celebrity. Were there other rule changes?
Weird rules trivia: While you have to phrase your response in the form of a question, the question does not have to make sense. Some contestants have phrased every response as "Who is ....?" even for things like places and objects, and those responses are accepted.
Thank you for that correction, I appreciate it. The article still states the writer's guild wasn't happy with his seeming lack of solidarity though, I can understand their grievance there.
No where in the article does it say the Writer Guild wasn't happy with him. It says that about Drew Barrymore for bringing her show back, but not about Ken.
Laughing at this for sure, don't get me wrong I love my internet arguments as much as the next person, but for the most part if I'm corrected in a reasonable manner and given a reliable source or two in regards to said correction I'll rescind in appreciation.
Same here. But I’ve seen people on here in your position—corrected reasonably with a good source—respond with ad hominem attacks or basically say the truth doesn’t matter. So it’s refreshing to see someone accept it with dignity! More people need to realize that “you’re wrong” isn’t an attack.
Just realized you're still a child so I'll give you a pass. As you grow you're going to find out that a lot of the stuff we're taught in school regarding geopolitics doesn't hold up. I hope you'll keep an open mind
Listen, I think that the us government and the dprk can both be bad(though I think the dprk is much worse). Like, they send enslaved labor to other countries and punish their families if they leave. They also fundamentally have incredible amounts of wealth inequality, much greater than the us.
I don't know what those are, but I know what you call it when a single person rules a country for life and passes that power on to his son and grandson. It's called monarchy.
I support Korean resistance to imperialism like I support Palestinian resistance to same. Policing their internal governance is a secondary concern while my taxes are buying missiles to drop on them
So you're okay with farmers and workers starving while their fat king feasts on champagne and caviar? Take that hammer and sickle out of your name, you have no right to claim it.
They have a lifelong ruler who is the son of the previous lifelong ruler who was the son of the man who ruled the country for life before him. In one word: monarchy.
Mormons make a vow to live something called the law of consecration, which is essentially a form of theocratic communism, and are supposed to prepare to give up all private property when Jesus comes. Most of them ignore this and the leadership tried hard to stamp out communism in the 60's.
exactly .. that is why I am confused.. but hey.. usa dudes, do what usa dude wants .. since this hollywood dude and his crazy wife, I shouldn't be surprised at all .. ( tbh I am .. )
ken jennings is great because he's like if a mashup of two bad songs that ended up way better than the sum of its parts was a person. i dislike mormonism, and trotskyism, but somehow the combination is amazing
(i also think he's, as we say in ex-cult speak, "PIMO" af meaning he doesn't really believe it but goes to church or whatever anyway to avoid social conflict. he's... said a lot of things i dont believe a celebrity mormon under the thumb of THE QUORUM OF THE TWELVE AND FIRST PRESIDENCY would say)
It's hard to imagine he donated his winnings but NOT part of his salary. Also i had to include the top part about him saying Dems were screwed because they asked him to run in Utah.
Having spent a lot of time with mormons and, specifically, mormons who are only mormon in name and, yeah, he's probably giving a fuckload of money to them if he's in any way involved in the church like if he's an elder or something. If he doesn't attend but just says "eh I'm mormon", maybe not
that i can't quite figure out. if he's going through the motions and keeps a temple recommend and shit then yes, he has to, but i can't find confirmation he does so he might not. i'd like to know myself so i can figure out how unironic i can be a ken jennings appreciator
right wingers talk a lot about “the left” limiting free speech but i feel pretty confident that if somebody made this joke on jeopardy today they wouldn’t air it
I didn't know if I could watch Jeopardy after Alex died, and I was really rooting for Burton.. but I got talked back in by a friend who told me that Ken says some seriously Trot com stuff here and there. It is indeed worth it, even if they are rare
epic, i can’t even see your replies. i got like a ghost notification where it popped up on my phones banner but is not actually here in the app. ugh we need better websites
On the Omnibus podcast he does with Bean Dad they literally have a "Is this compatible with Marxism" running joke, along with a paddle with "Compatible/Incompatible"
I wasn’t shunned in college because I lacked ambition. I was shunned because I refused to worship at the altar of empty suits and profit driven ego. I had NO desire to jump on the Business Bandwagon, and now I see it for what it is: a cult of greed dressed up as success. I’m glad I walked away.
In America if you make a lot of money in despicable ways you are still respected and held in high esteem.
But if you have altruistic ideas that don't have shareholders front and center you aren't a good American. Because Americans are judged solely on your personal worth not their worth to society.
People are being rewarded for a lack of Humanity all over the place now. Empathy is a bad word. There are no real rules except you either have money and thus are good or you don't have a ton of money and are seen as less than a citizen and can be treated any way they want.
I'm not interested in participating in this argument but what you just said is demonstrably false. We do track these things. Bernie 2016 voters were/are not reliable democratic voters at all. A full quarter (from '16) voted for Trump or Stein or didn't vote in the general election.
These are polls from when the primary ended, in June/July if I recall. We have actual voter data from what actually happened:
25% of Bernie voters stayed home in the general, with around 12% actually voting for McCain.
17% of Hillary voters stayed home, with about 14% actually voting for Trump.
So the vast, overwhelming majority voting for Clinton in 2016 is a sign they're unreliable because.... reasons? Cuz it's easier to bitch about the outside group than it is the people running the party and the election campaign?
You guys look at the independents who only showed up in the first place for Bernie, see them abandon the party after Bernie gets shut down by ratfuckery from people who testified in court that they don't have to follow their own rules, and then assume it's somehow their fault.
The 2016 Pew Research Center Voter survey. It's a massive quadrennial project that gets released a few months after every general election and it's based off of validated voting records. Peruse it.
I'm not responsible for your being completely oblivious to election science and where data is kept.
Being a "reliable democratic voter" is worthless when people are fed up with the system. Also, Democrats have taken a stance of trying to appeal to Bush-era Republicans, trotting out monsters like the Cheneys, so this purity test is fucking stupid.
Clearly, it is not enough to get Democrats elected. You can't shit-talk people trying to appeal to those tired of the status quo as for not only targeting reliable democratic voters while the party establishment has tried and failed to court out-and-out Republicans.
You jacking off you sick freak? You gotta lotta nerve gloating about that reactionary regime you ushered in with your dogshit candidates. One minute in your mediocre skull must be like an eternity in CECOT
We need to get you a lot of stimulants and show you Nick Lands Meltdown to see what happens, this is amazing, in much the same way David Dees' work is amazing
You’re still not getting it dude it’s been days. No one you’re arguing with fits into your narrow understanding of “right and left” we’re way, way, way out to the left. Bernie is closer to Trump than most of us are to Bernie. Please understand this.
One thing I will give this slop is its horrific cropping gave us this suspicious guy peeking out from behind Lewis. High watermark of this dogshit production.
I am not a democratic socialist I am a revolutionary communist. Most of my friends are gay and trans communists who work in the environmental field. Literally none of them will be MAGA. You live in your own reality. Worry about the Dems enabling fascism and genocide
Yeah I feel like communism is the endpoint of the pipeline, because its basic tenets and observations are simply correct and accurately describe the problems of modern political economy
Like you seem to have a hard time understanding I do not worship these people or even like them. Meanwhile you’re writing poetry about Kamala fucking Harris

I’m not writing poetry abt Kamala. I’m writing counter-propaganda in an era where irony-poisoned leftists mistake cynicism 4 analysis.
U say u don’t worship Marx or Lenin — fine. But the aesthetics, the absolutism, the media behavior? …
I think someone as incoherently stupid as saying Likud is equal to Hamas doesn't have a leg to stand on. I' not even touching CCP and Kremlin being both equal to hamas but also the Likud party.

What we need isn’t the resurrection of failed 20th-c systems dreamt up by narcissists like Marx and Lenin. it’s a reimagining of democracy itself. Reform and transform. Not cosplay past catastrophes! But good luck!
it is the year 202. liu bei defeats cao cao at bowang. aoc declares she's voting for trump because she's so sick of democrats endorsing trump's policies. rome bans female gladiators and christianity. the moon sleeps.

I don’t “pretend” 2 be liberal AI Prince — I channel the spirit of the artist who first showed me liberation was possible.
Prince broke me out of the racist, sexist, homophobic culture I was raised in. His music made me a target of bullies and bigots …
Neat. Can you articulate why you think siding with people whose response to police brutality was to build urban warfare training centers for cops in almost every state is somehow supportive of an end to bigotry and authoritarian views?
Wow dude, have you thought about using your own thoughts and opinions to spout this BS instead of a chatbot that only manages to make you look even more unhinged than you currently are?
All this beautiful derangement and you're shilling for the Dems? Look man, they'll never accept you. Find a valence with a healthy crank wing, like contrarian rightwing communists or libertarians
I think you're right, this is prophecy. This guy needs to get all his most attractive cousins together and head out into the wilderness to found Utah 2.
don't think its practical. They'd be enduring so much trauma after a while they wouldn't really be able to eat. Also there's no incentive.
If we give bezos an ultimatum and give him a good long timeline, keep musk on iv and medically treated, he could probably eat quite a lot of him
Oh you have long term planning in effect, I will totally defer to your judgement (although I do like picturing my idea of two snakes eating their own tails)
You can't "go on strike" if you aren't on strike. There is no union to support you, you will just be fired for not working. Sure, you could walk out in solidarity, but I promise you, the writers of Jeopardy don't get paid enough to do that.
Plenty of quality people kept working during the strike. The writers are a small part of much larger productions. It’s not like an auto strike where everyone in the building is union.
J! reused old questions and brought on old contestants. Gotta keep food on the table for everyone else.
There were no scab writers. During the strike, they used a combination of clues that had already been written for the season and reused clues from earlier seasons. Nobody wrote any clues during the strike.
What you're remembering is that when the strike started, he and Mayim Bialik were both hosting; Mayim chose to walk off in solidarity with the writers and Ken kept hosting. The WGA at the time had advised non-writers on scheduled productions that had already been written to keep production going.
I dont have any feelings about they guy one way or another but he's not Alex Trebek. If he starts making demands then they fire him and we're stuck with that Blossom whackjob.
I’m more concerned about his Mormonism. It sucked that he didn’t walk out in solidarity but also Jeopardy is not part of the TV/Theatrical/Streaming contract that was the issue.
There’s a lot of younger Mormons that are strongly pushing left and pushing for the church to get more progressive. Mormonism is no more/less concerning than a lot of other organized religions.
That’s very cool! I do think it’s interesting that there is a youth dominated, organized progressive push within the church that I don’t see in many other Christian groups-the church hasn’t moved much but they also aren’t excommunicating and exiling the group, which is better than a lot of churches

Dude ate the Hasbara hook, line, and sinker.
Genocide freak.
If that’s too much for you, start with the year prior to the October 7th attack, which set a record for the number of Palestinian children murdered.
Or maybe compare the 100,000+ civilians murdered since.
Or just fuck off.
The IDF videos their rapes and brag about them. Try harder.
Prominent out of the Mormons I can name, which basically includes Romney and the Osmond family
My bad, assumed the host part of this applied to Ken.
I seriously have no idea how y'all can act so condescending while being so stupid lmao
for real there's gonna be a day when you realize just how fucking up your own ass you've been
your choice whether you wanna keep going in the wrong direction before turning around~
>trotskyist
>mormon
I am so utterly confused by this combination
was certain it had to be one of those new AI vids people have been generating lmao
Within that set maybe he *is* the world's most prominent
Good guy Ken.
Civility politics of liberal institutions. 🙄
Supporting a genocider: acceptable
Cussing at a genocider or their supporter: banned

them
up
25% of Bernie voters stayed home in the general, with around 12% actually voting for McCain.
17% of Hillary voters stayed home, with about 14% actually voting for Trump.
That's a trick you could play with a lot of things. Just pretending really bad things are actually great.
show the numbers and methodology pls
I'm not responsible for your being completely oblivious to election science and where data is kept.
show me how the pew voter surveys demonstrate that past sanders voters display lower party loyalty than hillary voters
You're just mashing buttons and bringing up random shit you're mad about.
I'm sure eeeeeverybody will learn the lesson you're so eager for them to learn any day now.
You'll be mewling "earn my vote!" from a gulag in El Salvador.
14-15% of HC voters voted McCain
12% of BS voters voted Trump
But
83% of HC voters voted in the general
75% of BS voters did
Significantly higher defection rate.
and palin was absolutely the same as trump.
they’re literally MAGA right now
I’m not writing poetry abt Kamala. I’m writing counter-propaganda in an era where irony-poisoned leftists mistake cynicism 4 analysis.
U say u don’t worship Marx or Lenin — fine. But the aesthetics, the absolutism, the media behavior? …
It’s indistinguishable from the cults they inspired.
DFDF exists because irony won’t save democracy. But maybe clarity will.

U’re right! Prince wasn’t the only reason I was targeted. But he was the 1st artist who made me feel powerful in the face of it.

What convinced me was a good person was him interacting with the exmormon sub in an open and empathic way.
They had a fascism category recently on Jeopardy and Ken had spicy comments
