I understand the impulse to just brush this off because “oh, well all comedians embellish for comic effect”. That was my gut reaction too. But this is a little more than that. For starters, Minhaj is one of those comedians who doesn’t even really tell jokes. He’s a clapter comic who goes up on stage to make points for…

Can you clarify, does civilization march in a straight line, or is there an ebb and flow cycle?

Neither Grimes nor Musk are American.  America is guilty of many things but I’m not taking the fall for this travesty.

I’ll bite.

“He really wants smart people to have kids...”

If he was really smart, he’d have 3 kids with 5 women. 

As Americans are wont to do, they are conflating having money with intelligence.

Also...nothing about Grimes screams “smart.”

My cousin must be very smart. He has five kids with three women.

“He really wants smart people to have kids...”

And then take the best deal offered like the rest of us.

I think AOC (who I do not hero-worship) put it best when she said that one of the Democratic Party’s worst traits is that they are not good at ushering in new generations of Democratic leaders. 

Boohoo, get a cheaper lawyer like the rest of us.

She’s a good rep. Although she’s no longer at the front of Republican’s hatred, she’s still an incredibly effective general who can get troops in order and move legislation through. She made it clear that she’s wanted to retire before shit hit the fan in 2016. Since then, she has delayed her own retirement and put…

Respectfully, fuck off with this take. Riding coattails? There are lots of legit criticisms you can make about Nancy Pelosi and lots of real reasons for her to retire. And I know most people don’t pay attention to the inside baseball stuff that happens in Congress, but who the fuck do you think was actually doing the…

I agree that there should be an overall generational shift to younger representatives, but I’m not going to suggest that one of the most effective politicians of our time (especially as a defense against the last administration) should step down.   Overall, her removal would be a net loss to Congress.  She would be…

Why? She’s in much better shape than Feinstein. You really need to start adulting. 

His ass needs to go to.

all of them! Term limits.

Why is no one asking Bernie Sanders to go away? He’s older and considerably less effective than Pelosi.
