Interesting like watching a pair of malnourished cripples armwrestling. They're both awful individuals.

^ You’re right, I should’ve flipped the dial and not listened to what either of them had to say (especially in keeping with the JO tenet of decisiveness and polarization when it comes to ‘politics’.     yawn

If you feel like you learned something of value from either of those fucknuggets then I'm all ears.

Donna had a fleeting moment of usefulness when she aired some of the dirty laundry of 2016.

Was that when she did her cameo in Billions? I'll give you that, it was funny to watch her further debase herself.

Sure did.

Brazille: Hillary/Bernie/DNC/Robbie Mook—details on how the DNC freaked over Bernie.  Conway: must introspection, personal reflections.   Progress or at least compromise can only come about by listening to gain a clearer understanding of where someone’s coming from even when you totally disagree with them.  I’m flipping the dial…I stopped, paused, and listened to what they had to say and then moved on.  I’m not going to ‘close it down’ because I personally thought they’re fucknuggets.  That’s Kancel Kulture Klub thinking imho…

Choosing not to spend any time or effort listening to two people who have offered exactly nothing of value in their lives so far is not cancel culture, it's exercising basic critical faculties. They can spout off all they like, Brazile about her own self importance and Conway about whatever gibberish someone else has placed into her head, but I'm not interested in hearing about it.

It's funny that you're trying to pin that as "the JO tenet of decisiveness and polarization when it comes to ‘politics’" when they're coming from completely opposing sides of the aisle (ostensibly at least).

(BTW, I have a couple of times recently heard the phrase "cancel culture" rebranded as "consequence culture". I like that a lot more.)

Cannot retrieve Tweet at this time. Please try again later.
Someone screenshot 3 column headlines by Kathleen Parker, with the first 2 downplaying future political consequences and the 3rd asking how we did not see this coming.

(in bold) translation: I’m a better, morally superior person.  Whatever…

The JO tenet: while we probably ‘agree on things’ 90+% of the time there is a group speak vibe in which contrarian viewpoints are met with a breaking eggshells with sledgehammers’ chorus, i.e. piling on…

It's weird how you keep projecting things that you wish were being said rather than what is actually being said.

I'm not claiming to be better, morally superior person to Brazile or Conway (although in my favour I have never played any kind of significant role in causing undue suffering and damage to the lives of millions of people through a combination of personal ambition, stupidity and hubris, so if I were to be making that claim I think I'd have some fairly solid ground upon which to make it), I'm saying that neither of them has any opinion or thinking to which I would attach any value given their respective track records.
