Liar. That’s not what he said. No surprise, you can’t be near the truth, it burns you.

He sent millionaires/billionaires as “stealth missionaries”…not mom and pop evangelicals. Mom and pop prayed and sent cards, billionaires sent hundred thousand dollar and more vacations. He did that because billionaires can make bribes mom and pop can’t…sent stealth because bribing judges is against their religion, ethics, and morals….and justices are apparently exempt from ethic and morality rules and laws so can accept any amount without reporting it but still don’t like the optics.
I would bet you any amount (were you not a welcher) the “conservative” justices never pay for their lunches, which they hold in places like the four seasons where the bill can exceed $1k easily every day. Keep in mind this well funded group was only one of dozens lobbying the conservative justices.

Alito leaked decisions to these billionaires, and let them shape decisions….and was paid well for it. Typically hypocritically, suddenly the right doesn’t care one bit about leaks from the court, when last week they were still screaming for blood from the 3 sane justices they assumed were the leakers. Now that it’s known Alito is a leaker….NOTHING BURGER. You infants are so transparent. To your ilk wrong is only wrong if the left does it.

A few dinners is what they CLAIMED, but not everything they did. It’s what he says he suggested (but that’s not believable one bit), not the limit of their involvement by far.
He admitted they hosted dinners for them regularly…including travel across the country and stays in massive estates as part of the “dinner”, and including their friends and families, and often and repeatedly hosted them on extravagant vacations to different continents, including extravagant first class hunting trips to South America, etc, (including first class travel for them and their families)…. and entered a Faustian deal where the court would make abortion illegal only if the evangelicals would support EVERYTHING ELSE in the far right agenda no matter how evil.

Hilarious that he claims he was trying to convince the court it had the people’s support to eradicate reproductive rights. That was a blatant lie from evangelicals, they were opposed by over 70% of the people, and utterly destroyed the legitimacy of the court in their political zeal to erode individual rights for Americans. (And many other ethical and moral failings)

This is the far right court selling a decision (and a legal right) for political gains…and you know they get kickbacks from the far right for that too.

You love wasting tax payer dollars. How many millions wasted on Trump’s fake illicit defense by an activist judge inserting herself in a federal case to protect him? How many hundreds of millions were wasted in Trump’s repeated election fraud investigations that found no fraud besides Republican frauds they ignored? How many billions wasted on Trump’s failed useless border fence that’s already crumbling into rivers and getting blown down in wind, and hasn’t slowed border crossings at all since they’ve increased since he built it? How much was wasted investigating BLM and ANTIFA….how much was wasted CREATING ANTIFA by labeling any protester ANTIFA unless they could prove they weren’t, in a ploy to create a boogie man for you to fear? Now you want to spend hundreds of millions investigating private citizens (Hunter, Clinton). You want to spend hundreds of millions investigating Fauchi. You don’t want to spend a dime investigating the highest court being bribed….unless you only target liberal justices then you’re 100% on board with any amount.
And exactly how many tax dollars have been spent on investigating this? Pretty certain it’s near zero. It’s just public knowledge now. Just said in congress under oath…that’s all.

Edit: I bet you have no problem with justices like Kavenaugh “partying” (getting drunk and raping women?) with Matt Gaetz, Stephen Miller, Erick Prince, Matt Schlapp, Sebastian Gorka, Sean Spicer, and others who have upcoming cases in front of his court, right? Just like it’s fine that Thomas didn’t recuse himself from cases directly involving his wife despite clear ethics rules requiring he do so….right? So much for “high ethical standards”….they have no standards. The right delegitimization the court started with denying Obama a nomination and is now complete.
And the Mark Meadows voter fraud case progresses. Sure he lived in a run down mobile home in the woods, he wasn’t lying to illegally register to vote in N Carolina…one of 3 places he registered. Lots of republicans committing vote fraud in N Carolina.

I think that house is listed almost $100000 below market value based on other home prices in Raleigh. Of course hundreds of people want it.
My neighbor just sold their tear down mobile home, listed for $250k, sold for $300k after 4 days. If you list your home with a low asking price, you will get offers, lots of offers. It’s nothing new.

Buy land, they aren’t making it anymore.

I was about the reply to Bobknight - to say basically the same thing.

Unfortunately, a lot of us who are "liberal" can't understand this. There is truth to it, I'm not going to say that it isn't batshit crazy but for instance, I worked 5 days at a design temp job (before I quit and got the job of a lifetime a week later) and the owner was an older lady. She listened to FOX news ALL DAY long, totally in the box and in the zone for the alt-right mentality.

She, as a small business owner, who probably has other "conservative"(extremist) friends on the Chamber of Commerce (of which she was a part of) really believed that Trump as a "BUSINESS" person would be a great president in creating a better economy for"business"(tax loopholes everywhere, YES!!! No living wage or minimum wage increases, YESSS!!! fucking dicks the lot of em). I had to listen to this shit for those 5 days, but yeah - people really believe(d) it. There are business people out there, who aren't Bobknights eating doritoes in that wheel-less, rusted, mobile home in the trailer park waiting for the next tornado to plop down on tornado alley and give them the ultimate ride to the otherside, that believed in having a business person in the white house a good thing (fucking capitalists and terribly ignorant poor people IMO lol).

Media is in a real shithole these days. I mean, I still listen to Democracy Now! & NPR... but everything is slanted one-way or another...

I've only done this once. I will never do it again. In 1994, I turned 21. During my party, a friend brought both Weed and Jack Daniels. I partook of both heavily.

For the first time ever, I was almost unable to move. I've been drunk. I've been high. Never before was I rendered nigh motionless. I would not have placed this on the "Never do again so help me" list if that was the end of the experience.

Later that night, a powerful nausea unlike any I had experienced before or since came upon me. I had barely regained my equilibrium and in the process of vainly trying to make it to the bathroom, I took out a wall in my friend's mobile home. Let me be clear, I am not in any way exaggerating when I said I took out a wall. I was a defensive lineman in school and I was still mostly the same size 3 years later.

I landed in a heap of broken plywood and 2x4's, my friend and his girlfriend awoke to the noise and noticed their bedroom had a new entry. They then were treated to projectile vomit which spewed about the room as I tried to get up and out to the bathroom. They freaked out, got up and tried to run out, forgetting that they were naked. I was able to get up finally, and stumbled back out of their room, where I blearily noticed that everyone who was still hanging about the party were gawking at us. Me, covered in puke, a glow in the dark OP T-shirt, and bleached jeans. My friend and his girl covered in puke alone.

Puke glows oddly under blacklight, let me tell you. Anyhow, we all got cleaned up, I changed clothes, and then my future wife took me home. I went back a week later, after the shame had worn off a bit, to get my clothes. My friend had moved, his rented trailer was padlocked, and I never heard from him again.

If by some miracle you are reading this, Ricky, apologies bud.

Small affordable homes that could be moved as needed and attach to external utilities were invented decades ago - it's called a trailer. (or mobile home).

Is he in a mobile home or a trailer?

Sure as hell would make house moving easy for mobile home owners.

I feel that him being presumably independently wealthy at the time he made this, puts him in a questionable position. I am not saying he's wrong, but he definitely made a lot of money on his stance. And it's not as if he was turning around and donating the majority of his earnings. Looks like this was shot in his home, his house looked pretty nice...on the large size for a single guy and definitely not a mobile home.
Maybe he was less involved in it than others who have to work daily for their paycheck, but he was definitely involved in the very process he claims to be apart from.
I think until you could produce everything you'd ever need, grow it, make it, whatever with your own hands, tools you fashioned, or machines you designed and built.....you are going to be a part of this system. He's mostly describing greed (more and more stuff) and envy (He has a truck bigger than mine), with a sprinkling of the others. But really, if Carlin didn't care about getting and having stuff, he'd have did shows for free...definitely wouldn't have traveled all over doing his shows for money.


From everything I've ever read, Carlin was extremely grateful that he was able to divorce himself from society as much as he could. It certainly does take money to stand apart from it and still be comfortable but it's not like he didn't work his ass up from nothing to get there.

I don't think that he was against "having stuff", just that people are obsessed with useless bullshit. Trucks are a really good example too. I can't count how many absolutely flawless Ford F150s I see driving around every day. Trucks that are supposed to be cool because they're utilitarian but if they got a single scratch the owner would send them to the shop. They have leather interiors, not because it's the most useful material, but because it's the most expensive. And they're all enormous (and we all know why). Ten people in America actually need an F2500, but thousands of people have them. I think that's the kind of obsession we have with stuff that he's talking about. Not that we want things, but that we're desperate to have and keep them.

Oh, and it's a small point I know, but He wasn't single when this clip was shot. Perhaps his girl didn't see eye to eye on the stuff issue?

That's fairly correct. I'd even wager that the "nomads" got lucky and had family that bought land for them to use. Back in the day that was perhaps the best investment you can make. You can get rich barely lifting your finger.

(Except to sign your checks...)

She's the broadcast equivalent of mobile home wall paneling. A cheap veneer covering nothing of substance.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Yes, yes- good for the Grandmas getting their cookies off.

I wish we could get past the idea that not wanting this content on VideoSift is somehow an act of puritanical condemnation and a statement on what's "offensive". Can we, please?

Human sexuality is a complex issue- and for many reasons- humans often require discretion around a graphic depiction of sex in a video format. This may be because we choose to delay its presentation to juveniles around us who, as carers, we feel are not ready for the content. It may be because we are dealing with the psychology of our own sexuality - OR it may be for many other reasons.

Can we please accept though, as humans, that we may choose to prevent the display of graphic sexual material- without it making us prudish puritans -or without it making us censorious nazis?

Can the people who have gotten offended by this discussion- try and rappel down from their high horses of social justice and see that human sexuality is a special case? Videos of people fucking are not the guy standing in front of the tank in Tiananmen.

"sexually explicit material"
which can be interpreted differently depending on the individuals viewpoint.
but it doesnt matter because the sift is a self-correcting organism.
this issue has been corrected by sifters participating.
i did not find the circle jerk video particularly offensive in a puritanical sense.
grandma's gettin their cookies off...good for them.
the video was kinda funny in an odd,disturbing way.
brain and thinker were just pushing the envelope a bit to see how far it would give,the community responded=video discarded.
no harm..no foul and brain and thinker have some shiny new bling to show off for two weeks.
nothing wrong with pushing the envelope and gettin people to think or feel about something from a different perspective.that video got this discussion rolling did it not?
discussion is good...sex is good....old woman with vibrators that can power a small mobile home however...is disturbing.
in any case the envelope was pushed and the community responded.
dag and lucky's social experiment lives on!

Though he keeps wearing the stupid bandanna and leatherette vest. First perfectly with the velvet Elvis decor of his mobile home. Thank God(tm) for that.
