She didn’t flip, she was anti-vaccine from the start.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention.

Doesn't M.I.A support a terrorist organization in Sri Lanka? The Liberation Tigers or something like that?

I'm not up on my modern pop music and have no idea who she is but for those like me who have difficulty reading the above article here is an unpaywalled archive version.

M.I.A. Chose the Worst Possible Time to Tell Us She’s an Anti-Vaxxer

One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter?

I did some digging because I was curious about the organization, and it looks like the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam aren't the most upstanding freedom fighters. There are several incidents attributed to them where they've attacked civilians and committed ethnic cleansing, specifically against Muslims. If they were merely fighting for their independence, I could see the label of terrorists being somewhat disputed, but there's some pretty solid evidence that backs the idea that they weren't an upstanding group.

It's pretty sad that the bar is so low that that is a step up.

That's some serious Boomer Humour.

Also, imagine thinking that people go to bars to get any kind of coffee other than Irish.

As a part-time barman whilst studying for my "A"-Level retakes, alongside the usual beers and shorts (= liquor shots to US readers) I remember being tasked with serving a variety of coffees - all alcoholic variations on the Irish coffee apart from one which just had the cream on top and was amusingly referred to as a "floater".
As for the screenshot I posted, I'm sceptical whether doubling the number of conservative jokes (term used advisedly) has increased or decreased their average humour content.

Why not go with an overly detailed IPA description? I mean the joke would still suck, but at least it would make a tiny bit of sense.

Because criticising people for not drinking Coors or Budweiser is still something of a self-own? I'm not sure whether the stereotypical Boomer can spell IPA, let alone know what it is.

Look Both Ways — Where Political Backgrounds and Beer Choices Intertwine — Good Beer Hunting

For years, surveys and academic studies have looked to pull political connections out of consumer decisions, including what it means when certain people buy certain beer. Stereotypically, results have pointed toward conservative-leaning drinkers choosing famous macro brands like Budweiser or

First thing that popped into my mind from that comment was this guy who struggled with spelling AC/DC.

What a ****ing maggot.

I mean sure, the people who you have endorsed are openly calling for Jews to be punished/eradicated for being Jewish but we should support you without any rational thought! YOU (not you @TexRex) might not remember what happened 77 years ago but Jews have not forgotten.

Did Mike Lee really write an article about himself? I can't believe the Tribune allowed that either. They're supposed to be the respected news outlet in Utah.

Apparently they extended the opportunity to Evan McMullin as well, though the headline he wrote isn't nearly so pathetic or presumably so false.

"Do you want ice cream, Jordan?"

"What do you mean "do"?"
"What do you mean "you"?"
"What do you mean "want"?"
"What do you mean "ice"?"

etc.

What a maroon.

In order to determine what Jordan Peterson wants, we must first agree on what Jordan Peterson is.

There are not enough asterisks for all the answers I have for that question.

 

[TB]

What do you mean "asterisks"?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

What do any of those things mean?

This is something Bill Clinton was known for circa late 1990s: It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

lol. lmao.

 

[Scaff]

Oddly both Peterson, and his fans eating it up.

Not guilty, then.
