Dear mister Whistler; After watching you insist that Kamala Harris is going to lose the presidential election, and regarding Trump the next winner, and treating our situation in my country as an amusing entertaining joke; I am Unsubscribing from your UA-cam series. I must say that you really are incredibly ignorant of the political situation here in the United States, and what the stakes are. In fact I can say that you pretty much are incredibly ignorant and naive about pretty much everything about this country, it’s history and even it’s pop culture, unless your friend Danny tells you about it. At this point I really don’t give a flying FK about your conceded opinions. To Hell with Donald Trump! May he be sent to Prison for the rest of his miserable life for what he’s done to my country. Go Go Kamala Harris! The next president of the United States. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸
Danny's been re-captured!!! Now we just have to get Sam back for an OGBB. And a paper script and a broken chair to force a roaming blaze... One can dream
Yay, a Danny script! There’s just something about how his are crafted… the way the introduction story is long but enjoyable, the subtle puns and references sprinkled throughout, and the circle all the way back at the end. Chef’s kiss, Danny, we don’t get enough of you. Also Julian, that jacket-stripping edit was slick, 9/10 (a jump cut would’ve only been worth about 2 points, slo-mo with sparkles and adult video music would’ve been 11).
There are 5 different versions of that gag that I made...both of the cuts you mentioned were among the 5. This was chosen for one simple reason: I'll take any excuse to throw in an "I'm too sexy" gag.
@@VulianJu that is an excellent reason. And while I’ve got you, I’m a long-time VLDL fan, so seeing them edited in makes me happy, thank you (secretly hoping for the day when including “blue’s coming in we gotta geeeet awaayyyy” would make sense, so we can hook everybody else).
I'm really glad we don't have rocket mail. Imagine every day you're like 'I wonder if we're all about to die, or if that's just today's mail coming in"
I've never had one single UA-cam comment fill me with so much existential dread. Because when I was a kid, I used to think planes flying into the horizon were missiles about to hit the ground because my parents were obsessed with the Former Soviet Union and Cold War and I didn't really understand shit. Just heard a lot of stuff about nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles and those plane exhausts fit the bill of what I thought they would look like flying in. I just thought they kept getting shot out of the sky and we were saved at the last second.

Drying your house with hot air after you just sprayed it down with water would be an absolute nightmare. My parents once had bedbugs, & the process of cleaning them involves heating the house to 118 degrees F for 90 minutes.

Scrolling through these comments, its amusing how many people commented before getting to the Maggie quote about women never being UK PM or, indeed, reading the title of the video.
To be fair, the Internet in 1995 really was a twisting maze of cross references. And blinky animated GIFs. the world wide web was mainstream in 1993, so it was toddler-level development. We were still four years away from dancing hamsters. But it was pretty clear it was going to be cool eventually.
I think Trump will win because American citizens who actually have to go the grocery store and the gas pump are tired of constantly hearing about how supposedly awesome everything is from celebretards and operation mocking bird media sycophants when they know that the last three and a half years have been nothing short of an assault on the working class and they know Khmer Rouge Kamala represents a continuation of that because of the fact that she is the current vice president and because of the political views and policy ideas she expressed support for during her failed Presidential bid in 2020.
Ray Bradbury wrote a story on the idea of self-cleaning houses where the apocalypse happens and the house continues to keep cleaning itself. It's a literal nightmare. Like the old, half-feral dog trapped inside that whimpers pitifully as it tries to beat the self-cleaning mechanism that sweeps up the dog food shortly after it's been dispensed.
Contrary to popular belief, Thatcher did not close the mines. Of the 30 or so deep mines in operation at the time, she wanted to close 5 of them that were staggeringly unprofitable. Arthur Scargill took the miners out on an unpopular strike (seriously, most miners didn't want it, they got rail-roaded by two areas, and hence the whole flying pickets nonsense), that even the TUC told him not to do as it would be catastrophic - he did it anyway and gave Thatcher the ammunition to neuter unions. The mines closed because they went unused for over a year, loads of them required constant maintenance to keep them operating (think 24 hour water pumping stations). The miners were led into a situation that killed their own industry - and the industry itself was dying, it peaked production in 1974 before that years strike and never saw that peak again. Thatcher did a lot of things wrong, but blaming her for what happened to coal mining is lacking in any idea of what actually went on.
I agree. Thatcher also realized what previous leaders (think Ted Heath), if your going to do something that might encourage a coal miner strike, stockpile coal FIRST. Thatcher did, I remember talking to someone who was a PM at the time of the strike who told me that at some power plants the stockpiled coal was as high as the cooling towers....
@@brandonmcbride2342 exactly. The miners were known to be the most militant union and it was more or less inevitable that they would strike again, as they did in 74 and 76. By the time they went on strike I believe the estimate was that we had 18 months worth of coal stock-piled - and it was justified because in 74 and 76 they had rolling black-outs (I am just old enough to remember the 76 black-outs), this is where the idea of having candles in a house was normalised, because electrciity wasn't guaranteed.
Margaret was hated by people where she came from, by people who lived through her premiership, and people who realised what we lost in her premiership She is idolised by people who's parents made huge amounts of money by buying all the things she privatised Liz Truss modelled herself on Thatcher .. but only in looks ...
You can definitely still get home delivery of print newspapers. My mom was a newspaper delivery person for 15 years and retired in 2016. My step-brother delivered papers for 21 years until quitting last year. As long as we have boomers, we’ll have print newspapers.
To be clear, Cliff Stoll is actually a very very smart, kind, and humble man. The issue here is that when he said this things we were still in the ARPANET period (or close to it). The response to what he said hear isn't exactly fair.

I’m here to say…how very wrong Simon’s prediction was about Ka ma la. (She’s not a singing llama…😒) Polling already shows NC neutral, GA neutral, and polls shifting toward her in many other states. Fingers crossed she flips Texas and/or Florida.
The UK is still reeling from the horrific, abhorrent reign of Thatcher. Selling off every single national utility to the lowest bidder is why the UK now has the most expensive gas, electric and water prices in Europe, whilst also having the lowest quality utility services in Europe too, and the deliberate "managed decline" (her words) of cities she didn't like e.g. Liverpool, Glasgow, Sheffield, Newcastle, Aberdeen etc. With the self-inflicted car crash of Brexit heaping more misery on a nation with 40% of it's children growing up in poverty.
I know that the opening sentence of this one has dated quite badly since I wrote it just over a month ago. But I confidently predict that Kamala Harris will prove me wrong even quicker than I’d hoped. I might not be right, though.
Hopefully you are correct now, and were wrong a month ago. Tho, this doesn't matter a lot, cuz the important thing is that you are amazing and we love you, even when you are sometimes mistaken. One love ❤
@chadfanton9994 The rich oppressive boss who just sits back and talks is in favor of Trump?!? From Danny's perspective Simon is Trump... except somehow Simon has better hair!!!
It's going to be close ... there's no way it'll be a land slide in either direction. Harris has an uphill battle. Any mistake she makes will be picked apart under a microscope. Trump will continue to fart in faces of his supporters and they'll tell you it smells roses.
Simon you missed the opening joke, this is about bad predictions…. So him saying that they will never be one in his lifetime. He’s actually hoping and predicting the opposite. Most likely about this election
Yeah imagine a politician attempting to violently overthrow the government in an action where multiple people died and not only facing zero consequences but also being allowed to run for office again a few years later... imagine such a thing...
Imagine every football riot every player that complained about the ruling that cost them the game getting arrested. It never happens because it would be rediculous and make the prosecutor sound silly in court.
wonder if factboi redwave prediction should be taken at face value, as rage bait, or as how Europeans watch American politics. maybe just as someone who watches a car crash, and secretly wishes for the most gruesome and horrendous outcome? whichever way... he got me commenting so, touche
@@petermorgan6884Yeah, and those people were idiots then too. In 2024 there is no landslide. Partisan division is so strong that a blowout will be someone winning the states that matter by 500k. I mean in 2020 Biden won the popular vote very comfortably - decisively in a normal country - but due to the electoral college the election was still a nail biter that came down to what, 100k voters in 5 states? Even Clinton had a large popular vote win in 2016 and would have won easily in any normal country, but here Trump won by the attendance at one college football game in 6 critical states? Trump can never win in a landslide, it’s unlikely he can even get 50% of the vote, most of the country hates him (including many of the people who vote for him, apparently). Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for all of us) winning the majority of voters is not required. Harris could possibly win comfortably but she could also win the popular vote by 10M but enough swing states could be close enough that the lawsuits will take until 2028. Anyone who isn’t betting on a tight election no matter what happens between now and then is delusional.
Libertarian here; i'm.vot8ng for Harris. She.might be a Democrat but at least she isnt actively trying to dismantle our freedoms and turn us into a fascist theocracy with him as our golden godking
So refreshing to see this! It's been so infuriating to see people just dismiss the blatant pandering to the ultra far right and just how little the basis of democracy means to some people in our country. I'm all for discussion and debate on policy, but the ability to discuss is based on open and free democracy and this candidate as well as a section of his party wish to have no discourse and move towards totalitarianism.
And how is Trump trying to "dismantle our freedoms"? He was already president, and had a great record on the economy, the border, and peaceful times. He has already said he opposes a national ban on abortion. He also has nothing to do with project 2025 and has never endorsed it.
@@The1stDukeDroklar you're entitled to your opinion just as we are. But when almost half of 2025 executive group is previous trump employees or appointees, you honestly believe he has nothing to do with it?
4:40 Forsomeone that isnt very electable the popular vote disagreed, Hillary won it, it was the electoral college that she lost and thats a small number of delagates from each state that votes regardless of the popular vote..
Regarding presidential candidates since the 90s... Both Bush 43 in 2000 & Trump in 2016 wouldn't have won without the gerrymandering of the electoral college. Both of them lost the popular vote, with Trump doing so by a significant margin.
Yeah it goes both ways Democrats have used the Electoral College and w o n by it just as many times as the Republicans have just like the Democrats use the same tax breaks that Trump used as everybody has for years try again
@@thehellsage and Democrats would not have won numerous times either without that same system so what is your point both parties use the electoral vote
The electoral college is a balance of power between states with a high population and states with a low population. What’s good for cities isn’t good for the countryside and the electoral college prevents the domination of the majority on the minority. It gives everyone an equal voice. Those of you who are against the electoral college constantly preach about equity but when it comes into practice you rail against it in favor of the majority always getting what they want.
Bill Clinton also lost the popular vote by a large margin in 1992. Also, the electoral college is in the constitution, meaning an amendment would be necessary to do away with it. Which means either the states or the senators from those small population/size states would need to vote in favor and that would be like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving....
"He essentially tried to take over a country and people died because of this. How did he not go to prison forever?!" Democracy supporting Americans in 2024: 😭
I feel like Margaret Thatcher was liked here in the States, especially by those who liked Reagan. And looking at how many people voted for him, Reagan was very well liked in his time.
@@DenethordeSade.90 Reagan won re-election in a landslide victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8% of the popular vote. Your subjective view with 30+ years of hindsight says nothing about how well liked he was in his time. Or how well like Margaret thatcher was in her time, here in the States.
@@DenethordeSade.90Yet Republicans still have a fondness for him. Just because he could speak well. His policies were trash. Unfortunately many of his ideas are in Project 2025, at least the ones he couldn't do.
It was the tax policies of both Thatcher and Reagan that set the foundation for the wealth gap we see today, their major success was convincing poor people that rich people paying more tax was a bad thing.
Reagan destroyed the US middle class and purposely undermined the efficacy of government to justify deregulation and privatizing as much of the public sector as possible
Simon seems a little bit disconnected from reality if he actually thinks it's gonna be a landslide in the other direction... 🤣 I suppose he just wanted his own embarrassing failed prediction.
I would normally never comment on politics but even Trumpers are jumping ship and siding with Kamala at this point and I am absolutely here for it, VOTE BLUE IF ...... THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
When Chamberlain returned to Britian, he immediately began preparing Britian for war with Germany. He was not fooled by Hitler and was playing to the public who wanted peace. Chamberlain also sured up Britian's relationship with France and Poland before the war. He did the best possible job leaving Churchill a nation ready for war. When the time came, 1940, he was instrumental in moving Churchill (a fellow conservarive) into the PM position.
Neville Chamberlain does get a bad rap. Under the Nazis, Germany had been industrialising (and re-arming, counter to the prescripts of the Treaty of Versailles) for years, and Britain had been slowly losing its naval supremacy, France had already lost its ground force capability, and Russia (now the USSR) was still in a state of disarray from the Communist Revolution and the civil war, and still quite developmentally backward compared to the rest of Europe. When Chamberlain was 'appeasing' Hitler, the Triple Entente that had prevailed against Germany and its allies in WW1 really wasn't what it used to be. For the same reasons, Stalin signed a 'non-aggression pact' with Hitler (which he ALSO knew wasn't worth the ink it was signed with). And the US, still in the grip of its worst ever economic recession, couldn't be relied upon to help Europe in a war against a resurgent Germany. And both Chamberlain and Stalin, right after signing 'peace in our time' treaties with Hitler, went back home and put their countries on a war footing. Because they KNEW what was coming. If anything, Stalin was probably more trusting of Hitler's assurances than Chamberlain was (probably trusting that even two ideologically opposed dictators could trust each other's word). If anything, HE was more taken aback by Hitler's Operation Barbarossa than Britain was by the invasion of Poland and the fall of France. Anyway, Chamberlain in his handling of Hitler has always struck me like one of those self-sacrificial leaders who compromised his own historical legacy to put his country on a better footing to later confront an existential threat. Come to think of it, kinda like Biden did by stepping aside for Kamala: understood he couldn't win, and so stepped aside for someone who could and who had a better chance to defend his country from fascism 🤷🏾♂️😜😜😅😅😅
@VukaniMde Nice post. In his 1946 autobiography, which he didn't write, Churchill credits Chamberlain for the things you mention above. Ten years later, in his 1956 autobiography, which he also didn't write, Chamberlain is given the 'appeasement' treatment that became the popular history. Lesson: Never trust the past. It keeps changing
In my early 20s I was a tech support rep on a dell contract with corporate clients. My trainer had a pretty impressive background in computer science and one of those early adopters and blind optimism about the potential for tech. He was from the states but trained us in Canada to handle the contract growth. He loudly declared that smart chips were a dead technology as there has been no major adoption of the technology. The look of amazement and disappointment when I pointed out that banks in Canada were rolling out smart cards as an alternative to the magnetic strips. Not sure if the US banks hadn't started adopting it yet or if he was completely blindsided. But I was surprised like dude literally had the first iPhone a full month before it was released in North America he somehow got in India.
Actually, Chamberlain didn't really believe he had secured a long term peace with Germany, but what he did was gain an important year for Britian to rearm and bulid up the RAF. Chamberlain knew that war was going to happen and that the UK was not ready for it at the time. His waving of that scrap of white paper and proclaiming Peace in our time was more to calm the nerves of British population while the country rearms.
@@TheAmbex That was to be expected given the world wide financial crisis brought on be the Crash of '29, even the US cut back massively on defence spending and innovation during that time period. Sad really when you think that the British Army basically wrote the book on what would become know as the Blitzkieg. In 1927, the British Army established their Experimental Mechinized Force, a Brigade sized unit that developed the concepts and tactis of combined arms operations involving Artillery, Infantry, Amour and Air Power and their co-ordination, something they pioneered during the later stages of WW1. However, they were forced to disband the unit due to budgetary constrants brought on by the world wide Depression, and sadly many of the lesson learned were forgotten and lost.......expect by the Germans who were taking very close notes on the subject and in 1939, put them into practice. Yes, the Bliztkieg was yet another British "gift" given to Gemany and they ran with it. The other "gift" was the concept of the Concentration Camp that they used to great affect during the Boer War. Again not did Germany run with the concept but took it to a whole other level.
Newspaper delivery still exists in some areas, but is dying out. It's now done by adults rather than kids. Paperboys/girls used to be able to do it when several houses on each street subscribed, allowing a kid to make a decent bit of money by covering a few streets. However, nowadays, the houses that subscribe in a neighbourhood are too spread out, and to deliver to the same number of houses entails covering a much larger area. Thus, it's not feasible for a kid on a bike, but is for an adult with a car. It does pay crap, however. It would give a kid a decent amount of extra pocket money, but is far from enough for an adult to live off of. Source: I delivered papers for my local newspaper a couple years ago.
If they do win then we are screwed. Kamala Harris is a wolf in sheep clothing. She initially extended people's prison sentences so that she could keep them in for free labor. She bragged about smoking weed while sending hundreds of people to jail for the same thing

The Biggest failed prediction of all time is that Simon would never lose his hair.
To be fair, the Internet in 1995 really was a twisting maze of cross references. And blinky animated GIFs. the world wide web was mainstream in 1993, so it was toddler-level development. We were still four years away from dancing hamsters.
But it was pretty clear it was going to be cool eventually.
Back when the internet was wild and weird
I miss the internet
Hooray for Danny!
All hail the Return of The King!
I think Kamala will win because Americans are sick of hearing we are a declining country from a declining Mango Mussolini!
I think Trump will win because American citizens who actually have to go the grocery store and the gas pump are tired of constantly hearing about how supposedly awesome everything is from celebretards and operation mocking bird media sycophants when they know that the last three and a half years have been nothing short of an assault on the working class and they know Khmer Rouge Kamala represents a continuation of that because of the fact that she is the current vice president and because of the political views and policy ideas she expressed support for during her failed Presidential bid in 2020.
Yeah, factboi gettin it wrong.
God I hope so
@@JamesOfEarthI think maybe it's a meta joke given the episode title.
I hope it's a failed prediction at least..
@@sgt.tattoo9609
I predict it will be a landslide Harris victory or a very narrow trump victory(dirty with russian influence like 2016).
Simon if your political prediction is correct I shall blame you for the apocalypse.
I'm really hoping it ends up being a meta joke
Ray Bradbury wrote a story on the idea of self-cleaning houses where the apocalypse happens and the house continues to keep cleaning itself. It's a literal nightmare. Like the old, half-feral dog trapped inside that whimpers pitifully as it tries to beat the self-cleaning mechanism that sweeps up the dog food shortly after it's been dispensed.
Wow that's sad
There will be soft rain? I love that story, it's so eerie

Contrary to popular belief, Thatcher did not close the mines. Of the 30 or so deep mines in operation at the time, she wanted to close 5 of them that were staggeringly unprofitable. Arthur Scargill took the miners out on an unpopular strike (seriously, most miners didn't want it, they got rail-roaded by two areas, and hence the whole flying pickets nonsense), that even the TUC told him not to do as it would be catastrophic - he did it anyway and gave Thatcher the ammunition to neuter unions. The mines closed because they went unused for over a year, loads of them required constant maintenance to keep them operating (think 24 hour water pumping stations). The miners were led into a situation that killed their own industry - and the industry itself was dying, it peaked production in 1974 before that years strike and never saw that peak again.
Thatcher did a lot of things wrong, but blaming her for what happened to coal mining is lacking in any idea of what actually went on.
I agree. Thatcher also realized what previous leaders (think Ted Heath), if your going to do something that might encourage a coal miner strike, stockpile coal FIRST. Thatcher did, I remember talking to someone who was a PM at the time of the strike who told me that at some power plants the stockpiled coal was as high as the cooling towers....
@@brandonmcbride2342 exactly. The miners were known to be the most militant union and it was more or less inevitable that they would strike again, as they did in 74 and 76. By the time they went on strike I believe the estimate was that we had 18 months worth of coal stock-piled - and it was justified because in 74 and 76 they had rolling black-outs (I am just old enough to remember the 76 black-outs), this is where the idea of having candles in a house was normalised, because electrciity wasn't guaranteed.
Margaret was hated by people where she came from, by people who lived through her premiership, and people who realised what we lost in her premiership
She is idolised by people who's parents made huge amounts of money by buying all the things she privatised
Liz Truss modelled herself on Thatcher .. but only in looks ...
I'm pretty sure you mean Marien (Le Pen) , not Margaret (Chase Smith).
@@mpettengill1981i’m pretty sure they mean Thatcher
I love that his editor puts in anime references you know Simon doesn't understand
You can definitely still get home delivery of print newspapers. My mom was a newspaper delivery person for 15 years and retired in 2016. My step-brother delivered papers for 21 years until quitting last year. As long as we have boomers, we’ll have print newspapers.
I'm always pessimistic, therefore I'm always right or pleasantly surprised.
......just keep telling yourself that.
Hope for the best, but expect the worst. I've lived by that for more than forty years.
@@myrlyn1250 Pessimistic optimism has been my go-to as well haha! ^_^
@@Matt.Thompson.1976 Wanna come up with an actual rebuttal, maybe? That one was damn weak. Lol
@@griffinmckenzie7203 As the comment was crazy, my response was apt. No rebuttal needed.
To be clear, Cliff Stoll is actually a very very smart, kind, and humble man. The issue here is that when he said this things we were still in the ARPANET period (or close to it). The response to what he said hear isn't exactly fair.
7:54 love that we're just now getting to the first entry 😂
WOW, great video but especially great editing by Julian! Simon whipping off his blaze had me cracking up lol
Danny will be fine and live a good long life if he lays off the weird mushrooms down there in the blazement
All hail Julian for the masterful jacket removal at 15:46!
iPads are literally for grandmas and children. I would rather have a newspaper because at least then, I wouldn't have to constantly be reminded of the money I gave to one of the worst companies on earth.
Brennen Lee Mulligan and Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Your editor is fantastic and whatever you’re paying them isn’t enough lol.
I have a feeling the first minute of this video isn't going to age well , lol
Rocket-mail would be awesome... I'd pay extra if I knew my letter would make a handsome, one-of-a-kind crater in their yard when it arrived...
I feel like quite a few commenters completely missed the point being made about being pessimistic to get the outcome you actually want...
[10:36] Simon reads like the 11th pun in the script and finally goes "Ah? Ah?"... :D
Simon's got that mist filter on
The edit of blazer to no blazer is great, I liked that I did.
I still have my Blockbuster's membership card. Nostalgia!!!
I had a knee jerk when Simon mispronounced Kamala, and then i realized he can't pronounce lengthy words. Lol.

I’m here to say…how very wrong Simon’s prediction was about Ka ma la. (She’s not a singing llama…😒) Polling already shows NC neutral, GA neutral, and polls shifting toward her in many other states. Fingers crossed she flips Texas and/or Florida.
I live in NC and she’s definitely got the advantage here. Minus in the neck beard areas, but they don’t have the population the rest of us do.😊
Is there a different filter, does Simon need to wipe his camera lens, or are my UA-cam settings pooched?
None of the above, the light is either brighter or at a different angle. Possibly both
trying out the soft glam insta filter
He always complained on a live about the sun coming in and the editor could fix it.
It's the white T-shirt he's been wearing in the last few videos. Even with the blue blazer it makes the white balance go nuts.
15:45 that was a nice transition lol
The UK is still reeling from the horrific, abhorrent reign of Thatcher. Selling off every single national utility to the lowest bidder is why the UK now has the most expensive gas, electric and water prices in Europe, whilst also having the lowest quality utility services in Europe too, and the deliberate "managed decline" (her words) of cities she didn't like e.g. Liverpool, Glasgow, Sheffield, Newcastle, Aberdeen etc. With the self-inflicted car crash of Brexit heaping more misery on a nation with 40% of it's children growing up in poverty.
Can always tell who is the editor by what memes get used😂
0:40 Simon. We all can't move to the Czech Republic.
Seriously man..
Danny's back! Woo hoo! Happy ears n happy heart ♥️ thank you for returning Danny! It's been to long...
Danny has been dragged back to the basement
I know that the opening sentence of this one has dated quite badly since I wrote it just over a month ago.
But I confidently predict that Kamala Harris will prove me wrong even quicker than I’d hoped.
I might not be right, though.
Dear god I hope you were wrong Danny
Hopefully you are correct now, and were wrong a month ago.
Tho, this doesn't matter a lot, cuz the important thing is that you are amazing and we love you, even when you are sometimes mistaken.
One love ❤
For the love of god I hope this comment is right and your intro is wrong!
@chadfanton9994 The rich oppressive boss who just sits back and talks is in favor of Trump?!? From Danny's perspective Simon is Trump... except somehow Simon has better hair!!!
It's going to be close ... there's no way it'll be a land slide in either direction. Harris has an uphill battle. Any mistake she makes will be picked apart under a microscope. Trump will continue to fart in faces of his supporters and they'll tell you it smells roses.
Simon you missed the opening joke, this is about bad predictions…. So him saying that they will never be one in his lifetime. He’s actually hoping and predicting the opposite.
Most likely about this election
He’s painfully out of touch due to Danny’s field trip away from the blazement.
Skeletor always gets it 😅😅😂
The DBZ abridged clip at 21:53 😂
Yeah imagine a politician attempting to violently overthrow the government in an action where multiple people died and not only facing zero consequences but also being allowed to run for office again a few years later... imagine such a thing...

Imagine every football riot every player that complained about the ruling that cost them the game getting arrested. It never happens because it would be rediculous and make the prosecutor sound silly in court.
wonder if factboi redwave prediction should be taken at face value, as rage bait, or as how Europeans watch American politics.
maybe just as someone who watches a car crash, and secretly wishes for the most gruesome and horrendous outcome?
whichever way... he got me commenting so, touche
It was probably filmed not long after the shooting. Everybody was saying he will win by a landslide after that, At least for a few days 😂
@@petermorgan6884 ur totally right. Simon shoots this so far in the past, they become monthly time capsules on their own, lol
@@petermorgan6884Yeah, and those people were idiots then too. In 2024 there is no landslide. Partisan division is so strong that a blowout will be someone winning the states that matter by 500k. I mean in 2020 Biden won the popular vote very comfortably - decisively in a normal country - but due to the electoral college the election was still a nail biter that came down to what, 100k voters in 5 states? Even Clinton had a large popular vote win in 2016 and would have won easily in any normal country, but here Trump won by the attendance at one college football game in 6 critical states? Trump can never win in a landslide, it’s unlikely he can even get 50% of the vote, most of the country hates him (including many of the people who vote for him, apparently). Fortunately for him (and unfortunately for all of us) winning the majority of voters is not required. Harris could possibly win comfortably but she could also win the popular vote by 10M but enough swing states could be close enough that the lawsuits will take until 2028. Anyone who isn’t betting on a tight election no matter what happens between now and then is delusional.
Or we can take it as pointing to the title more.
To be fair, reading a digital book does feel like a chore compared to reading a real book.
Libertarian here; i'm.vot8ng for Harris. She.might be a Democrat but at least she isnt actively trying to dismantle our freedoms and turn us into a fascist theocracy with him as our golden godking
Thank you.
Independent, voting blue all the way because the red party went nuts
So refreshing to see this! It's been so infuriating to see people just dismiss the blatant pandering to the ultra far right and just how little the basis of democracy means to some people in our country. I'm all for discussion and debate on policy, but the ability to discuss is based on open and free democracy and this candidate as well as a section of his party wish to have no discourse and move towards totalitarianism.
And how is Trump trying to "dismantle our freedoms"? He was already president, and had a great record on the economy, the border, and peaceful times. He has already said he opposes a national ban on abortion. He also has nothing to do with project 2025 and has never endorsed it.
@@The1stDukeDroklar you're entitled to your opinion just as we are. But when almost half of 2025 executive group is previous trump employees or appointees, you honestly believe he has nothing to do with it?
4:40 Forsomeone that isnt very electable the popular vote disagreed, Hillary won it, it was the electoral college that she lost and thats a small number of delagates from each state that votes regardless of the popular vote..
Smiling about a possible 2nd tRump term is ghastly 💙
Regarding presidential candidates since the 90s... Both Bush 43 in 2000 & Trump in 2016 wouldn't have won without the gerrymandering of the electoral college. Both of them lost the popular vote, with Trump doing so by a significant margin.
Unfortunately too many Republican dinosaurs insist on keeping it. Maybe in my lifetime it will go.
Yeah it goes both ways Democrats have used the Electoral College and w o n by it just as many times as the Republicans have just like the Democrats use the same tax breaks that Trump used as everybody has for years try again
@@thehellsage and Democrats would not have won numerous times either without that same system so what is your point both parties use the electoral vote
The electoral college is a balance of power between states with a high population and states with a low population. What’s good for cities isn’t good for the countryside and the electoral college prevents the domination of the majority on the minority. It gives everyone an equal voice. Those of you who are against the electoral college constantly preach about equity but when it comes into practice you rail against it in favor of the majority always getting what they want.
Bill Clinton also lost the popular vote by a large margin in 1992. Also, the electoral college is in the constitution, meaning an amendment would be necessary to do away with it. Which means either the states or the senators from those small population/size states would need to vote in favor and that would be like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving....

I feel like Margaret Thatcher was liked here in the States, especially by those who liked Reagan. And looking at how many people voted for him, Reagan was very well liked in his time.
Reagan was a monster.
@@DenethordeSade.90 Reagan won re-election in a landslide victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8% of the popular vote. Your subjective view with 30+ years of hindsight says nothing about how well liked he was in his time. Or how well like Margaret thatcher was in her time, here in the States.
@@DenethordeSade.90Yet Republicans still have a fondness for him. Just because he could speak well.
His policies were trash. Unfortunately many of his ideas are in Project 2025, at least the ones he couldn't do.
It was the tax policies of both Thatcher and Reagan that set the foundation for the wealth gap we see today, their major success was convincing poor people that rich people paying more tax was a bad thing.
Reagan destroyed the US middle class and purposely undermined the efficacy of government to justify deregulation and privatizing as much of the public sector as possible
“A landslide in the other direction”
Simon Dickler indeed.
Simon seems a little bit disconnected from reality if he actually thinks it's gonna be a landslide in the other direction... 🤣 I suppose he just wanted his own embarrassing failed prediction.
i so much hope this will age like fine wine

I would normally never comment on politics but even Trumpers are jumping ship and siding with Kamala at this point and I am absolutely here for it, VOTE BLUE IF ...... THATS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
When Chamberlain returned to Britian, he immediately began preparing Britian for war with Germany. He was not fooled by Hitler and was playing to the public who wanted peace.
Chamberlain also sured up Britian's relationship with France and Poland before the war.
He did the best possible job leaving Churchill a nation ready for war.
When the time came, 1940, he was instrumental in moving Churchill (a fellow conservarive) into the PM position.
Neville Chamberlain does get a bad rap. Under the Nazis, Germany had been industrialising (and re-arming, counter to the prescripts of the Treaty of Versailles) for years, and Britain had been slowly losing its naval supremacy, France had already lost its ground force capability, and Russia (now the USSR) was still in a state of disarray from the Communist Revolution and the civil war, and still quite developmentally backward compared to the rest of Europe. When Chamberlain was 'appeasing' Hitler, the Triple Entente that had prevailed against Germany and its allies in WW1 really wasn't what it used to be. For the same reasons, Stalin signed a 'non-aggression pact' with Hitler (which he ALSO knew wasn't worth the ink it was signed with). And the US, still in the grip of its worst ever economic recession, couldn't be relied upon to help Europe in a war against a resurgent Germany.
And both Chamberlain and Stalin, right after signing 'peace in our time' treaties with Hitler, went back home and put their countries on a war footing. Because they KNEW what was coming. If anything, Stalin was probably more trusting of Hitler's assurances than Chamberlain was (probably trusting that even two ideologically opposed dictators could trust each other's word). If anything, HE was more taken aback by Hitler's Operation Barbarossa than Britain was by the invasion of Poland and the fall of France.
Anyway, Chamberlain in his handling of Hitler has always struck me like one of those self-sacrificial leaders who compromised his own historical legacy to put his country on a better footing to later confront an existential threat.
Come to think of it, kinda like Biden did by stepping aside for Kamala: understood he couldn't win, and so stepped aside for someone who could and who had a better chance to defend his country from fascism 🤷🏾♂️😜😜😅😅😅
@VukaniMde
Nice post.
In his 1946 autobiography, which he didn't write, Churchill credits Chamberlain for the things you mention above.
Ten years later, in his 1956 autobiography, which he also didn't write, Chamberlain is given the 'appeasement' treatment that became the popular history.

In my early 20s I was a tech support rep on a dell contract with corporate clients. My trainer had a pretty impressive background in computer science and one of those early adopters and blind optimism about the potential for tech. He was from the states but trained us in Canada to handle the contract growth. He loudly declared that smart chips were a dead technology as there has been no major adoption of the technology. The look of amazement and disappointment when I pointed out that banks in Canada were rolling out smart cards as an alternative to the magnetic strips. Not sure if the US banks hadn't started adopting it yet or if he was completely blindsided. But I was surprised like dude literally had the first iPhone a full month before it was released in North America he somehow got in India.
12:27 does that sound familiar at all?
Yeah. We all see it.
Julian Vu, you're choice of memes centering around DBZ abridged warms my heart

Actually, Chamberlain didn't really believe he had secured a long term peace with Germany, but what he did was gain an important year for Britian to rearm and bulid up the RAF. Chamberlain knew that war was going to happen and that the UK was not ready for it at the time.
His waving of that scrap of white paper and proclaiming Peace in our time was more to calm the nerves of British population while the country rearms.
100%. Both the UK and France had been neglecting their forces during the 30s and this allowed them to step up preparation.
@@TheAmbex That was to be expected given the world wide financial crisis brought on be the Crash of '29, even the US cut back massively on defence spending and innovation during that time period.
Sad really when you think that the British Army basically wrote the book on what would become know as the Blitzkieg.
In 1927, the British Army established their Experimental Mechinized Force, a Brigade sized unit that developed the concepts and tactis of combined arms operations involving Artillery, Infantry, Amour and Air Power and their co-ordination, something they pioneered during the later stages of WW1.
However, they were forced to disband the unit due to budgetary constrants brought on by the world wide Depression, and sadly many of the lesson learned were forgotten and lost.......expect by the Germans who were taking very close notes on the subject and in 1939, put them into practice.
Yes, the Bliztkieg was yet another British "gift" given to Gemany and they ran with it. The other "gift" was the concept of the Concentration Camp that they used to great affect during the Boer War.
Again not did Germany run with the concept but took it to a whole other level.
Whoever has been editing in the DBZA clips, you're on fire 🔥
Remember, twenty years ago many people would have said a black person would never be President
Then Obama happened so never say never
Newspaper delivery still exists in some areas, but is dying out. It's now done by adults rather than kids. Paperboys/girls used to be able to do it when several houses on each street subscribed, allowing a kid to make a decent bit of money by covering a few streets.
However, nowadays, the houses that subscribe in a neighbourhood are too spread out, and to deliver to the same number of houses entails covering a much larger area. Thus, it's not feasible for a kid on a bike, but is for an adult with a car. It does pay crap, however. It would give a kid a decent amount of extra pocket money, but is far from enough for an adult to live off of.

I think the Cuckoo's Egg is what inspired me to become a sysadmin, I even emailed Cliff Stoll to tell him this, and he was gracious enough to reply.
If Harris and Walz don't win we are so screwed.
If they do win then we are screwed. Kamala Harris is a wolf in sheep clothing. She initially extended people's prison sentences so that she could keep them in for free labor. She bragged about smoking weed while sending hundreds of people to jail for the same thing
