I did the same. Not a fan of how loud and chaotic he runs his stream with popup graphics, sound effects, chat roll etc. but that’s fine not everything needs to be to my taste. From what I saw he seems to use a bunch of sarcastic and inflammatory comments to make his points which opens him to being clipped out of context. Kind of fits into the “you’re not wrong, you’re just being an ass” category to me which I also think is fine. Even the whole 9/11 comment thing is understandable. I feel like it’s widely accepted that 9/11 was a consequence of the US’s worldwide aggression and heavy handedness with Piker’s comments reflecting that sentiment in an insensitive way. How many Iranians do you think are out for blood after having a girls school blown up let alone all the other shit going on?

Commenting on my own comment, my first inclination was to say “keep the train rolling with rail” but realized that’s confusing. Immediately after hitting post I thought of a better way to keep the pun and clarity.

They can hold onto Carney for a little while. I think he’s done a decent enough job of convincing other countries to work with us. Maybe if he fucks off to the US for a while we can slow or reverse the environmental rollbacks he’s been implementing while the dust is settling. Keep rail development going though.

I doubt she actually believes what she’s saying unless she thinks that more people voting for democrats than her in her gerrymandered riding is impossible.

I upvoted your gratitude comment, I’m not a huge commenter but I’ve done similar. There’s so much decisiveness and bickering from miscommunication and misunderstanding that it’s nice seeing when people support each other through it.

Good

It’s a refernce to Chris Farley’s movie Tommy Boy.

Good attempt! Your joke still makes sense. Bob Barker hosted the price is right not Jeopardy.

Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There’s lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other’s parks. I don’t know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.
