The stand up comic who married Katy Perry. How did that work out? Advice, cogent analysis from such, really?

He might as well cut a vein and bleed all over the screen.   What rubbish!

And No, I didn't keep watching this propaganda for pusillanimous groveling lemmings.

Actually it is quite a worthwhile listen, as he ultimately blames the loss of family values, loss of the Lord in our lives, and the narratives pushed by DemonCraps who give the Lord lip service while simultaneously trashing him out of the other side of their mouth at the same time, and never going without taking full advantage of pushing political agendas out of a tragic events before the bodies even become warm, let alone cold. After all, never let a crisis go to waste is their credo.

Now, that doesn't mean agree with him 100%, but it is a start.

I have some millennial friends who are starting to listen to this guy, waking up and turning MAGA.

I think he is making a difference.

No problem, I almost didn’t listen myself., even after it had started playing. But give it long enough, and it starts making that turn. 🙂

Great contribution to the discussion by you! You could have actually listened to what he had to say but you chose to make a stupid comment. Or were you trying to be funny? Either way. Fail.

OK< gave it a listen. Brand looks at all sides, doesn't hide what he thinks, all the politics, society, etc, etc.

Then points the figure back at all of us for creating a society that causes tragedies like this in the first place.

I agree with him on that.

Appreciate your posting this. Brand is honest about how he thinks it through and he works to see all sides of the issue.

Yeah, we all need to claim a portion of the blame. After all, it is not guns that kill people. It is people with guns that kill people, but these people could use anything at their disposal to kill people, and often do just that.

He makes some good points but the guy sure loves to talk doesn’t he? :-)

He is good at speaking in generalizations that appeal to the common denominator. He has something in there for everybody. A politician in the making.

I’ve actually recommended his videos to my liberal friend, Russell Brand is the only way to get through to him. His videos may surprise some of you, he’s gone against the Dem narrative on many issues, but does so in a non partisan way that allows those on the left to listen to him. Jimmy Dore is another progressive who does the same, and both of them have a smattering of conservative followers. And both of them p*ss off the left.

Russell Brand used to live a fairly dark life of drugs and womanizing. He had an awakening and made dramatic changes. He does lean toward classic liberalism and libertarianism. But he is logical, reasonable, and honest. A million times better politically than the RINOS that dominate the stupid party, and lightyears better than the neo-liberal Democrats.
