    The thing that drives me nuts: I learned how to lie due to an abusive environment. If I couldn't make it look like I was meeting every expectation, even the unspoken ones, my life was a living hell.
    And then I grow up and people are following obvious liars, constantly. They're BAD AT IT, they put no effort into it, and expect people to just Not Check, even at ascendant levels of government.
    There's Lying Because I Decided I'm Doing It, and Lying Because You Caught Me. Both need a different touch. If you've decided you're gonna do the thing and wanna lie about it, planning and forethought has to go into it. Instead these are a lot of Lying Because I Was Caught lies, where a person decided to do the thing first with the assumption that they'd get away with it, and lies come later to be shouted over very obvious explanations.
    I was told politicians had some special skill for deceptive speech, and that's why they're in politics. This, like meritocracy, is a myth. They're falling over themselves like children, babbling incoherently, and expecting a pass
    I refuse to be ruled by geriatric children.

      I wrote my college lit thesis on Hawthorn. A lot of his work deals with the freedom and healing that comes with facing your sin head-on, being honest and open about it vs trying to hide or deny it. In Scarlett Letter, the woman who wore the letter was publicly shamed, but came around to being an accepted and honored member of the community. The man who impregnated her was able to hide his sin and it destroyed him. Couldn't be a better metaphore for the republican party right now refusing to face and be honest with its shame.

It’s terrifying that all these people need to get their hands on the levers of power is to be backed by local party offices. And sadly, it’s the people in power who got there because there are no standards who we would need to enact some set of standards for us to protect our fairly fragile system.

Do YOU have ANY IDEA what Jesus taught about that Temple? 100's of millions of Christians DECEIVED. Matthew 24: 24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets . . . deceive the very elect. Trump is antiChrist. Vicarius Filii Dei (the Pope) adds up to 666 in Roman Numerals and Old Latin.

Not having your show and all the others, but mainly your show, as part of my routine felt like when it's not baseball season. It's fine and obviously there's other things to do, but it's better when there's games on everyday. It's better when new Closer Looks or Corrections or Surprise Inspections notifications pop up.

    #Correction: when discussing the Scarlet Letter around 9:56, you say the A "wasn't a fashion statement", but Hester Prynne purposefully makes the A beautiful with "flourishes of gold thread". Her choice to embrace the A and wear it with pride is an important theme in the novel, which makes Seth's characterization of her rather ironic.

Dare I say, it's very "woke" of them.

Whether he committed it or not is still up to question, so you would say, "Santos allegedly committed like, SO MANY crimes." Or just put "allegedly" at the end of speculating about his alleged crimes. Alleged crimes which he for realsies, no faking, has been charged with.

      You gotta admit they've become more transparent in their lust for gaining minority rule through election fraud, voter suppression, gerrymandering and Joseph Goebbels-level propaganda and misinformation. When they advertise they're going to do something reprehensible I trust they're going to try. Hopefully, their abject incompetence will continue to out-perform their ambitions.

    To be fair, Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter is a bit hard and meandering to get through...but props to Seth for not dumbing down the actual and most critical plot point. I suppose the Congresswoman was trying to just use "Scarlet Letter" as a metaphor, but then she mixed an actual metaphor, with a "visual" plot point in the book, which makes little sense, even as a Classics Illustrated simplfied version of the novel, as I think Jake Tapper silently understood.

      Don't be kind to Republicans, this is assigned in 6th grade here, if 6th grade literature is difficult, you shouldn't be in congress.

    I'm happy to see that Seth can bring out his A+ Walter Cronkite impression that the youth of today can really identify with.

    • @thork6974
      @thork6974 11 месяцев назад +2

      Sounded more like David Brinkley to me. A Cronkite impression should sound deeper, with a bit of a growl.

    • @sugaredwards6207

      ironically, the scarlet letter is one of the many books they are BANNING.

    • @wintertrooper7918
      @wintertrooper7918 11 месяцев назад +3

      @sugaredwards6207 not really all that ironic in their perfect world the only books not banned are the Bible and their 'biographies'

      they were dissapointed that it infact was not a letter but many pages in a book and gave up
      much like how they didnt learn anything about unaliving mocking birds from to kill a mockingbird.

    In France, the red A on a white background is the magnetic disk you put on your car to indicate you have a beginner's permit. I thought Rep. Mace was wearing that t-shirt to indicate she's new at politics and doesn't really have the basics down yet.
