Honestly, in the beginning of the standup, it was not political at all. He was talking about a trip to Indonesia or some shit. I actually laughed a little with the story about the cobra attacking that dude and then going after the audience. I think he does have some talent buried down in there somewhere, but he's working for the DNC, not for laughs.heydaralon wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:48 pmYeah man, my ex loved all those POS late night shows and comedy "news" shows. Ferguson, Meyers, Oliver, Noah etc. She would also watch SNL. I have never found any of that shit funny. People always have put SNL on this pedestal, but is just low hanging fruit, middlebrow sewage. There was a great thread on here that discussed the formula for their comedy and how eerily similar it was to propaganda techniques/psychological programming.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:42 pmDude, last time I went down this road, I had to sit there for over an hour with that failed comedian that took over the Daily Show talking about how horrible white people are and how white racism is this huge problem for black people especially. Eventually I couldn't stand it any longer and showed her images of the genocide his own Bantu people are perpetrating in South Africa. It was truly unbelievable that this guy would go on there and talk about all these supposedly racist things white people do to poor innocent blacks, and fail to mention -- oh by the way -- his people are trying to genocide whites.heydaralon wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:32 pm
The comedy specials on there are pure fucking cancer. You think you have seen shitty comedy, but you haven't until you watch a NetFlix special.
If you want comedy that is actually edgy and hilarious, check out million dollar extreme on youtube.

She's like a man. She's not playing victim at all. Just going in there like a man would. Interesting combination of shit moral compass combined with a rare character.

My distrust of the press is so high, when I see someone like her under attack by the press my first instinct is skepticism of the report.

I think the press is happy to have someone to throw under the bus for that debacle. Holmes knows what is best for her. Her job is to take the full blame.

There is also one former epidemiologist—William Foege, and, in addition to Holmes, one current executive, Sunny Balwani, who is Theranos’ president and CEO.

Good Stuff, and wow, they really loaded up on DC political folks. No wonder she's the only one left to take the blame.

Creepy AF
I posted a few weeks back about Bad Blood.
Carryrou's book is good.
Also, there is a new podcast from ABC Radio on Theranos. http://abcradio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/ Good production, lots of audio from the depositions of the various players.
