I knew he’d be lionised, but I had no idea half the population would be unable to hold two ideas in their head: 1) Murder is bad. 2) This murdered person spit hate (sometimes in a polite, but condescending tone) his whole career. Many knew that before Coates gave us this compendium.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

The US has more guns than people. Brian Klaas picks off the arguments against gun control, one by one.

"When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Islam once and for all?" asks Loomer. Imagine a top ally of President Biden saying: "When is everyone going to say we have had enough of Judaism once and for all?" Would there be media silence? Wouldn't every Democrat be asked to denounce it?

One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
