An interesting watch. Tim tells it like it is.
Republican politicians are only in it for the money. They are not willing to risk their political careers, which is a path to riches.
Maybe if somebody pointed out to them that George W. and George H.W. Bush are both Yalies.
Oh. Wait. They're demonicRATS in good standing now. Never mind.
Tim Pool has been on the "Must See/Listen" list as well.
I have enjoyed former Tim Poole, former Bernie supporter, because it is watching a democrat wake up in slow motion.
He has a pretty damn big mouth yet I don’t see him organizing a group of brave men to stop this chit!! SPEAKING BEHIND A MICROPHONE SPEWING anger is cheap and cowardice without action!! Tim pool, Tucker and the rest of prominent talking heads folk lack courage!! Easy very easy to talk macho and all leathered up about the situation yet they just sit there waiting acting all rowdy while condemning those that don’t do diddly squat! Cowards!! All we hear from them is how angry the folk are but NOT ONE BRAVE MAN will take it directly to the Marxists...NOT ONE!! Damn shame!!
The counterculture rebellion of the late '60s was way more kinetic and destructive than today. In 1967's riots in Detroit, more than 40 people were killed and 7000 National Guard were called out. 1400 buildings burned in that one city.
Many of the young people who joined the "hippy movement" became much more conservative as they got older. I personally know a hippy-ish woman from back then who is now a total conservative. A lot of the hippy guys back then were only going with the politics to get lefty chicks who were into free love. It was almost all a put-on.
People haven't changed that much, and today's unrest is tame compared to what went on back then.
[[Key takeaway: Elihu Yale, founder of Yale University, was a major slave trader! ]]
Wow- eye opener- stunningly the left are silent over this-
How exactly is Tim, which I like and watch regularly, telling it like it is when he asserts that all rural folks are bending the knee?
I like Tim though I think he’s been mostly libertarian when I’ve seen him.
I watched the Joe Rogan podcast when Tim and @Jack were the guests and @Jack was lying through his teeth the whole time about Twitter not being biased. Tim challenged him much harder than Joe.

TIME FOR AMERICA TO VOMIT OUT THE LEFTIST POISON.

Rhode Island's Ivy League Brown University's namesake actually commissioned a slave ship where a total of 109 captured slaves died!
From the Brown University Slavery and Justice: report of the Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice:
Like other members of their class, the Browns were slaveowners. There are records of Captain James Brown, the brothers’ father, purchasing slaves as early as 1728, and he left four slaves in his estate upon his death in 1739. By the early 1770s, the brothers owned at least fourteen slaves, several of them in common. Moses, who in 1773 became the first of the brothers to renounce slaveholding, seems to have held the largest number, owning six slaves outright, as well as a quarter interest in several others....
In 1759, the family returned to the African trade, when Obadiah, Nicholas, and John, along with a handful of smaller investors, dispatched a rumladen schooner, the Wheel of Fortune, to Africa. With war raging between Britain and France, it was a risky venture and it ended in failure. The ship arrived safely on the African coast, but it was subsequently captured by a French privateer. While Obadiah had taken the precaution of insuring the voyage, the loss of the ship still represented a substantial financial setback for the family. For the enslaved Africans on board, the capture of the ship likely made no difference, as they would simply have been carried to the French West Indies and sold there.
With the restoration of peace in 1763, the Browns decided to return to the African trade. (Obadiah had died the year before, leaving the family business in the hands of the four brothers, trading under the name Nicholas Brown and Company.) The North American economy was in the doldrums, and the brothers needed capital to buy supplies for their candle works, as well as for their newest venture, an iron furnace. With slave labor in high demand throughout the Americas, an African voyage promised a quick and substantial profit. The brothers initially planned a joint venture with Carter Braxton, a Virginia merchant and later signer of the Declaration of Independence, but in the end they elected to proceed by themselves. The result was the voyage of the Sally.
The Slave Ship Sally, 1764-65
The Sally sailed from Providence in 1764, the year of Brown’s founding. The ship carried the standard African cargo, including spermaceti candles, tobacco, onions, and 17,274 gallons of New England rum. It also carried an assortment of chains, shackles, swivel guns, and small arms to control the human cargo to come. In their letter of instructions, the Brown brothers ordered the ship’s master, Esek Hopkins, to make his passage to the Windward Coast of Africa, to exchange his goods for slaves, and to sell those slaves to best advantage in the West Indies. They also asked him to bring “four likely young slaves,” boys of fifteen years or younger, back to Providence for the family’s own use.
The voyage was a disaster in every conceivable sense. Many other merchants had the same idea as the Browns, and Hopkins found the West African coast crowded with slavers, including more than two-dozen ships from Rhode Island. The market for rum was glutted and captives were scarce and expensive. Hopkins eventually acquired a cargo of 196 Africans, but it took him more than nine months to do so, an exceptionally long time for a slave ship to remain on the African coast, especially for those confined below decks. By the time the Sally set sail for the West Indies, nineteen Africans had already died, including several children and one woman who “hanged her Self between Decks.” A twentieth captive, also a woman, was left for dead on the day the ship sailed.
The toll continued to mount on the return journey. Four more Africans – one woman and three children – died in the first week at sea. On the eighth day out, the captives rose in rebellion, a fact noted in a terse entry in the ship’s account book: “Slaves Rose on us was obliged fire on them and Destroyed Eight and Several more wounded badly 1 Thye and ones Ribs broke.” In the weeks that followed, death was an almost daily occurrence; according to Hopkins, the captives became “so Despireted” after the failed insurrection “that Some Drowned themselves Some Starved and others Sickened & Dyed.” In all, sixty-eight Africans perished during the crossing, each loss carefully recorded in the account book. Another twenty Africans died in the days after the ship reached the West Indies, bringing the total death toll to 108. (A 109th captive, one of the four “likely lads” requested by the Brown brothers, died en route to Providence.) The survivors, auctioned in Antigua, were so sickly and emaciated that they commanded prices as low as £5 apiece, scarcely one-tenth of the prevailing price for a “prime” slave. The poor returns on the voyage prompted an apologetic letter from the merchant who handled some of the sales. “I am truly Sorry for the Bad Voyage you [had],” he wrote. “[H]ad the negroes been young + Healthy I should have been able to sell them pretty well. I make no doubt if you was to try this market again with Good Slaves I Should be able to give you Satisfaction.”

Yale needs to refund every tuition ever collected. Any graduate must surrender their diplomas. Then burn the place down. Then change the name. There, all fixed.
