jeez, check out the following tweet where she outright calls India a ****hole.
And tucker with all his "lets not talk about groups but", "I don't judge people but".
It's "I'm not racisit, but" 101.
Sad how many lap this garbage up.

Great segment on John Oliver’s show last night, summarised here.

Us Brits should be gutted letting a sharp, satirical guy like this go, when we see the great job he does over there.

On the other side of the coin, we also subjected the US to James Cordon, so horses for corses, I guess.

Oliver’s show has been phenomenal from day one. It’s much better when Trump isn’t hogging all the news and he’s able to get into stuff like this that very few people would ever really know about.

Also, what is it about Corden that people loathe so much? I don’t watch his show all that much, but when I do see clips they seem to be no better or worse than other late night shows. To be fair though, I’m a big fan of the head writer of his show, and he may be driving a lot of the jokes that make it to air.

Contrast this resignation with the Texas Attorney General who has been under indictment for securities fraud for SEVEN years with no trial and is under FBI investigation as well as with the State Bar for his role in the nonsense lawsuits after the 2020 election. Dude's running for re-election and he'll likely win.

This is straight out of the scientific-racist playbook, as evidenced by J. Philippe Rushton's sh1tty, racist work that gets cited lots on racist/neo-nazi/white nationalist sites. This is an abbreviated Table from his sh1tty debunked book, but note the bottom line.

Well they did just release a documentary saying all of that and used racist slurs against people of the same colour for not agreeing with it.

May only be a small minority but enough to warrant a racist docu-series

We really need an upper age limit and/or neurocognitive evaluations.
We put restrictions and conditions on drivers over the age of 65

Republican candidate yet again tries to co-opt rebellious rock song as somehow reflecting to Christian/American/conservative values.
