1. What an eloquent way of stating the situation...

it's not "cancel culture", it's "consequences culture".

I only wish the clip had continued a bit further.

6. I caught that phrase, too!

We need to emphatically repeat that every time a RWNJ whines about some perceived right being "cancelled."

2. John McCain must roll in his grave every time his daughter shows her ignorance and stupidity

This "Cancel Culture" stupidity republicans want to become victims of when they are and have been the champions of it for years. Anything a republican doesn't like because it doesn't agree with their plans (I don't call it ideology, I don't really think they have one), they want to cancel.

republicans do not have an ideology, they find words, sentences, paragraphs that resonate with the brainless followers so they go for it, I am convinced that republicans don't believe much of what they say, they know they are lying, but it works politically for them so they do it, people with no concept of consequences, with no dignity, morals, or principles don't care and do not hold solid thought values.

What a problem we have in the USA, republicans are good at their propaganda, Democrats need to fight harder to get the country educated to make sure people learn to differentiate when they are lying to them, what patriotism and treason really mean, who are those looking for the citizen's interest and who are those who are only looking for power and money.

3. I'm starting to realize there's a way to predict how Meghan is going to behave.

When she wears extra coatings of garish face paint and a strange, tightly pulled hairstyles, she's going to be rude, obnoxious, pouty and ridiculous.

When she's a bit more 'au natural' and not looking like a Tammy Faye knock off, she seems to behave a little more slightly close to nearly almost sounding a bit rational, at times.

4. She's just not very smart

If she were just living her life, that would be fine. But she keeps trying to punch above her intellectual weight class, which results in her repeatedly getting, figuratively, knocked out.

9. I went to a tier one law school

it's hard to get into, but easy to graduate once you are there.

A tier four law school is easy to get into but can be hard to graduate from.

Point being, once you get into an Ivy League school, graduation is not necessarily difficult. It's usually the getting in part that's hard.
And I suspect, it's a lot easier to get into such a school if you are the daughter of John McCain. A LOT easier.

8. Love it! And I love how Meghan apparently left during his answer, because when he's done, she's not

10. Why are we not calling this the "free market"?
Mon Apr 26, 2021, 03:46 PM

Calling it 'cancel culture' or 'consequence culture' just makes it easy for the right to vilify us. Let them try to argue using the word 'free market'.
