  • Roy Wood Jr. is hilarious and so is Hannibal Buress, pretty much anything from them is great.

    Stavros Halkias has good specials, just don’t go near the crowd work (but that’s pretty much every comic).

    Aamer Rahman is great and he just came out from hiatus, check his older stuff first and see if you like it.

    Michael Che has good stand up too, even if you know him from SNL and don’t like his stuff there.






  • And Mexico won’t just sit there and take it. The Mexican army is a modern, well equipped army and has plenty of combat experience within Mexico, what with having to fight the cartels with their CIA tactics and American made weapons. Mexico can also develop a nuclear weapon with ease but deliberately chooses not to as policy.

    Not saying Mexico would recapture all the shit the US stole or that it wouldn’t be a horrible blow to Mexico, but if people think it’d be the gulf war again they need to check what happened when the US invaded Afghanistan.

    The US would lose its biggest trading partner and the BRICS sphere would likely immediately gain the second biggest manufacturing economy in all of America.










  • Pretending your argument maps perfectly onto a reductive analogy (that you absolutely didn’t understand) doesn’t make it reality.

    If this were the trolley problem, dems and conservatives would be the exact same track, just one option goes quickly and other slowly. Actually changing the track involves choosing to organize and do the work of undermining the capitalist system itself, not the brand of puppet you’re gonna get. But liberals dislike this because it’s not as easy as literally flipping a lever.

    If you’re still campaigning for corporate dems, you’re insisting on keeping the lever where it is, but the lesser evil would make it run slowly so maybe it’ll give others time to stop it, and that way it might not splash guts and blood on you, which is the important part after all.
