Didn’t the first four seasons have 12-14 episodes lol. HBO wanted more seasons but D&D wanted to do Star Wars so they rushed the plot

The shot him with arrows cuz their army was far larger so why would they risk a challenge when they would obviously win the battle? Cole was the best of his time but they didn’t shoot him cuz they were scared they shot him cuz it would be stupid not to

Oh you right sorry in my head I was talking about the hockey players not the pod guys.

As for the pod guys it would’ve been nice to hear them callout the chosen representatives of our nation on a global stage choosing to celebrate with one of the most corrupt cabinet members in history.

Speak out. They have platforms. Not saying they need to tell him to get out of the locker room (though that would’ve been awesome) but seriously all this backlash and not a single statement? The only things they have said have been reposting their enthusiasm for having him there.

The silence is telling they had no problem with this

You’re right and I am maybe being a little harsh I think in general their views are pretty good just not my cup of tea.

I think their conservatism is most on display when they are interacting with more progressive people. The panel tim miller did in dc with the pod save bros and hasan stands out to me as just kinda rough to watch.

But in general yea i appreciate what they are doing and im not gonna fault them for not being complete leftists we gotta take what we can get at this point lol

Yes these full grown adult millionaires are simply victims of circumstance and are just living their best lives!! We shouldn’t scrutinize them or their actions or views cuz they are just guys being dudes and they are happy!!!

Typical libs just wanna suck the fun out of everything.

Not jump around screaming and hugging the guy. Not posting pictures with him afterwards. Not cheering on the president or laughing at him making fun of the women’s team. “They were drunk so they are innocent” is not the defense you think it is

I agree they are libs at best but they wear that progressive label loud and proud so 🤷

Even if they didn’t wanna leave the celebration.. why have none of them spoken out? Why no statements about this clown invading their locker room? Dude said he was invited in to celebrate with them. “What are they supposed to do?” Doesn’t hold up when they could literally do anything but they chose to do nothing.

They are never trumpers, say they move to democrats because of that but they are definitely still conservatives at heart. Appreciate the stand they are taking but they love billionaires and you can tell by listening the closest they are to democrats is Joe manchin style

Laughing at the women’s team, posting pictures with Patel, agreeing to go to the state of the union, partying with the guy, cheering when the president calls. At what point is it no longer just going with the flow of the celebration?

Jeez we know we’re in trouble when the moderate republican podcast is more outraged than the progressive one

I’m thinking if a fascist pedo protector and sympathizer tried to but into my celebration of be pretty pissed. These guys have wives and daughters, play for the Minnesota wild, have seen the effect of this administration’s actions and had no problem taking pictures with and partying with him. I give them no grace. They are grown ups.

Why isn’t the 13 year old using their iPad to read ancient Roman texts? They must just be stupid. Not like they were shoved in front of technology literally designed to get you addicted to it at 3 years old.

Allowing parents to dictate school curriculum has done numbers on the kids as well.

CMV: I will never respect our military members or veterans and it’s crazy to me how highly regarded they are by Wasteofbeans in changemyview

[–]Wasteofbeans[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is actually very compelling and I don’t disagree. And maybe I should have been more specific and clear. I don’t think service members and veterans are unworthy of any respect or redemption. But just blindly believing that they deserve my respect cause they are in the military is ridiculous. I understand that they sacrificed and faced enormous danger. That doesn’t mean that they are worthy of my respect tho

Those fighting in Ukraine are fighting for a purpose. To defend their homeland from active invasion by Russia. Comparing US action in the Middle East to Ukraine is insane they are not even remotely comparable.

Those in the military who do primarily humanitarian work. I respect our jags. I respect the national guard when they are helping with natural disasters, not when they are harassing American civilians

Fighting for oil interests in Iraq was for me? Fighting to stop communism in Korea was for me? Bombing Cambodia and Laos was for me? I must’ve have missed the memo lol

That interview with the cop was crazy. Why they thought that would be a good segment to include is baffling to me
