Hello folks. Today's stream is a little more free-flowing than usual. I start of talking about the major new stories of 2020 - the impeachment, Covid-19, BLM, the election, then it kinda goes all over the place. We touch briefly on the covid relief bill, deprogramming MAGA people, quitting smoking, why facts don't really convince people, why Trump looks like a drunken penguin when he stands, and other subjects. Please join us and enjoy!
Hello folks. Subjects for this week's stream include Trump gives up on the election? Trump's Dirty pardons, GOP voters boycott the Georgia runoff election, Charlie Kirk's dipshit thanksgiving rant, and the genius of Mikeblaizmaga. Plus we keep drawing our dueling dragons.
In Today's stream we'll talk debunk right-wing election conspiracy theories, talk about Trump's attempt to steal the 2020 election, and the continuing MAGA metldown, and the real world consequences of misinformation. Plus we continue to draw some dragons
For this week's stream we're looking at the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, claims of voter fraud, a Trump campaign post mortem, and general shenanigans. Plus we draw some dragons or something.
On a completely unrelated side note, I've been spending every waking moment watching One Piece. Me and my wife watch like 5-6 episodes a night. Thing is there's like over 900 episodes, and even though it's been three months we're only like halfway through the series. Don't get me wrong it's a great series, but I'd like to watch something else once in a while. Just need to vent to someone.
Well, that was fun, wasn't it folks?
First off, here's a couple of videos from the last few days talking about the election:
Hot Take: 2020 Election Results Delayed?
Hot Take: Joe Biden Wins!
As of this writing (11am PST on 11/7/20) all of the major networks have called the election, Biden has won. Apparently they were waiting for there to be a lead in Pennsylvania which would put it outside of a recount. Once Biden's lead went over 30,000 votes then by Pennsylvania law a recount is no longer possible. Thing is they could have called this election two days ago once Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan flipped to Biden also.
So I was a little worried that we may be seeing a repeat of the Florida-2000 scenario, where the Republicans managed to stop the recount and basically got the Supreme court to steal the election. Thankfully it doesn't look like there is a possibility of that happening this year. The fear centered over a court case in Pennsylvania in which the Supreme court ordered that all mail in ballots that came in past election day be segregated, in case the court decided to take up the case post election day. However that didn't stop the count. So if this were to go to the Supreme court and those ballots were invalidated, they would literally be throwing out hundreds of thousands of ballots which have already been counted at this point. Somehow I don't think that will happen.
But even if it did happen, that still wouldn't change the outcome of the election, since Biden also won in Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan. In order for the election to get reversed and for Trump to obtain 270 electoral votes, the same would have to happen in all three of those states as well. There's simply no way.
So now we get to look forward to the future, and let's be frank, the future does not look bright. Let's be frank, the country is a complete fucking mess. We have 230,000 people dead due to Covid-19, 20 million people who lost their jobs, millions of people on unemployment, the states running out of money, millions of people getting evicted. We're basically staring down the barrel of a great depression, let alone all the other shit we have to deal with like sever environmental damage, half the country burning down from wildfires, the other half drowning in hurricanes, wide spread protests and riots over systemic institutional racism and police brutality, a growing threat of violent insane right-wing lunatics armed with lethal weapons, and all the other shit our pathetic excuse for a president did fuck-all about in the last four years. If it seems like this country has gone to hell in a handbasket since 2016 that's because it has. Shit is more fucked up now than it has been in a long time, and it's because we elected the wrong person. Maybe now that we have somebody with half a brain taking over we can finally start to put this country back together.
But please remember, just because a person you agree with politically is now in charge doesn't mean everything automatically goes back to normal. All these problems are still out there. If anything, it means you should fight even harder to get things changed. So keep protesting. Keep on donating your money and time to the causes you believe in. Keep being politically active. Now is the time to push harder than ever.
Subjects for this video include Trump sending unidentified federal officers to abduct people in Portland, police violence, more federal stimulus, the coming economic collapse, and the presidential election. Plus, I draw some more stuff.
Hello folks. In today's stream we're going to talk about violence at protests, our incredibly bad leadership, the upcoming 2020 presidential election, some funny stuff, and the looming eviction crisis. Also, I color some D&D fantasy characters.
Today we're talking about the BLM protests, the assault of Martin Gugino, Asshole Trump protesters, defunding the police, and Trump's crybaby reaction. Also, we draw some stuff.
This stream we focus on all of the ways in which Trump could conceivably stay in power despite losing the election. We touch briefly on the voter intimidation, voter suppression, voter ID laws, using the military or homegrown militias for a coup. We also touch on the #WrongTrump hashtag, Freedom of Speech, and what we can do to save the country. Also, I continue to draw a hideous plague demon.
Subjects for today include: What does "Defund the police" actually mean, pandemic memes that have not aged well, Kushner's national testing plan scrapped for political reasons, Trump's Tik Tok ban, and why we all need to vote.
I think I might make the part where we look at old conservative memes that haven't aged well into a weekly segment. That was pretty fun.
Welcome to another politics and art stream. Subjects for tonight's show is the death of Garret Foster, Trump's secret police, the 2020 election, and the HEAL act (and how much it screws us all.) Also I continue drawing a hideous disgusting plague demon. That feels right somehow.
Hello folks. This video I'm examining cancel culture, and why everyone is losing their minds over it.
I'm attempting to have a nuanced opinion of it and what it's all about. There's a section where I talk about democratic politicians like Al Franken and John Conyers. Please be aware I'm not defending the actions of these people, but what I am doing is using them as a contrast to how Republican politicians with similar (or worse) sexual harassment scandals are treated. Specifically, I use them to illustrate how when it comes to politicians, Democrats are much more vulnerable to this type of "cancellation" than Republicans are.
The second half is about "Karen" videos, and cancellation can be abused (or backfire.)
Hello folks. This week I'm talking about CHOP (Seattle's Capital Hill Organized Protest, formerly known as CHAZ) as there's a lot of misinformation going around about that and the shooting that occurred there (please be aware, not everything I say about CHOP is positive), as well as Proud Boy violence (as in they were the most likely perpetrators of said shootings,) the importance of the political process, and voting. We end with making fun of Trump's failed Tusla rally, and a plea for everyone to be politically active.
For some reason I must have triggered the Youtube bots as they kill the livestream (right when I start talking about Trump,) so that's why it's in two parts.
So years ago back in 2011, I made a video called "People who Piss me off:Libertarians." This seemingly has become one of my most viewed videos (which
isn't really saying much.) Seems like libertarians will watch anything with the
word "libertarian" in it, and a lot of them have opinions they are just dying to
share.
Anyway, so about a year ago I was informed that these two guys with
cartoon avatars made a response video to it (like nine years after it came out.)
I contemplated making a response video, and even commented on their channel, but
they didn't answer, so whatever. Usually I don't really go for this
video-response-video form of debate, because the way I see it this is a free
country, and people can think whatever they want about me or what I publish. You
think I'm full of shit? Fine with me, as long as you're not taking things too
far it's no skin off my back.
Anyway, another guy name Philosopossum made his
own response video (which was linked on first response video) and actually did
invite me to respond. His video is filled with the standard libertarian
responses to things, which means it was a piece of cake to debunk. Apparently he
made another response but I haven't watched it yet, as this is only like part 1
of what will probably be a three or four part series, if I get around to it.
So
if you're not into these sort of debate things feel free to skip this one, but if
you want to see a hour of me picking apart the standard libertarian arguments in regards to government regulations, taxes, militarism, and the like, then you'll enjoy this video.
Whenever we get a story in the news about a police shooting an unarmed black man, or of a black person who is murdered by a white person who is then not arrested, the right-wingers always come out of the woodwork to defend the perpetrators. They do this by victim blaming - coming up with every ridiculous reason to try and make the victim look like the aggressor.
So for the Ahmaud Arbery case, this is what happened: Ahmaud Arbery is spotted on some surveillance video looking around a construction site. He does not steal anything. This ex-cop who apparently had prior history with Arbery gets four other guys, and they go out and ambush him. The ex-cop and his son are armed with shotguns. They find him jogging down the street, surround him with their pickup trucks, and point their shotguns at him. A fight ensues, and Arbery ends up dead.
According to Georgia law one can do a citizens arrest if they either witness a crime, or have immediate knowledge that a crime has been committed. So you may say, well trespassing is a crime, correct? However that's not good enough, the crime has to be a felony. Since nothing was stolen, and the security video didn't show Arbery taking anything, then no felony was committed. Thus these four assholes had no legal right to peruse Arbery and attempt to arrest him. Please keep in mind these people were not cops, so Arbery is under no legal obligation to obey their instructions.
Those are the facts of the case. Since this is a black person who was shot and killed by white people, then all the racists and white nationalists and 2nd amendment people and other assorted right wingers are coming out of the woodwork to blame the victim. This shit will keep happening, what you can do is keep the facts straight and argue for the truth. Don't fall for it, and push back. This guy wasn't the aggressor. He was murdered. He was the victim.
Hello folks! Since I got my channel back I figured I should do another artstream. Subjects include the pandemic (of course,) Trump's incredibly awful leadership, the Tea Party 2.0, the post office, progressive voters, Joe Biden, and the upcoming election. Also, I continue drawing a hideous lady demon.
Hope everyone out there is staying inside, and staying healthy. I know a few of the states are starting to rescind the shelter in place orders, I encourage everyone in these states to please take what precautions you can - wear a mask, wash your hands, socially distance yourself, etc. I know it may not be possible for everyone, do the best you can. Just because our politicians aren't taking this pandemic seriously doesn't mean we can't.
Hello everyone. So my channel got suspended! Like with no warning. Just woke up this morning, and it was gone.
Well... shit. I mean I think I have a pretty good idea of why (see video for details.) So of course I appealed the ban, but I really doubt they'll re-enable it. It's pretty much impossible to get someone on the phone. There's a customer service number that nobody answers. They only send you automated responses to emails. So it could end up being permanent/
Which of course sucks donkey balls, but maybe this might end up being a good thing. A chance to start over, and only upload the best of the best. To be honest a lot of the videos I did have up really weren't that good. Most of them were topical - so who's going to watch a video about stories that were current in the news five years ago? I also had a lot of game reviews, movie reviews, toy reviews, and other stuff that didn't really fit in with the channel anymore. So maybe it'll be better to clean all that old stuff out.
So I'll spend the rest of this week re-uploading those videos I deem to be worthy. Even if they do reenable the old channel I think I'll keep this one, and use it as the primary. Maybe one day I'll make a thing where if anyone wants to watch those old episodes we can put them on DVD or do a digital download thing, or something. Anyway, if you were subbed to my old channel, please come by and sub again.
Hello folks, so I've done a couple of art streams this week, talking about the coronavirus and the incredibly shitty leadership from Trump and the Republicans while I draw a hideous demon lady. Unlike the other art streams this time I'm actually drawing something using pen and paper, instead of photoshop.
Part 1:
Part 2:
So the camera in part one is constantly all blurry and horrible, which makes the stream mostly unwatchable. For part two I figured out how to turn off the auto-zoom, so that one looks a lot better.
What can I say, I'm a noob at this shit. Next time it'll be better.
We are about two weeks into our Covid-19 enforced isolation, and if you're like me then you're probably getting a little stir crazy. It's important that (for the time being at least) we all stay inside and remain isolated as much as possible. The reason being that at this time there is no cure for Covid-19. The only treatment they have is to put someone on a respirator to keep them breathing - and there aren't enough respirators to go around.
It makes it that much more frustrating to see people not only refusing to self-isolate, but who seemingly go out of their way to purposely put themselves in situations where they spread this disease. Dumbasses licking toilets, sneezing on produce, going to large social gatherings like parties or churches, etc. The problem is they're not just putting themselves in danger, but everyone else they come in contact with. The thing about this disease is that you may be exposed and show no symptoms - and in fact, never develop symptoms - yet you may still be spreading it around to people. This isn't just "risky behavior" that affects only the individual. Once again, THERE IS NO CURE. There is no vaccine. The vaccine isn't going to be here for at minimum a year, most likely more. We already have passed 100,000 cases - within the next week hospitals are going to start being overrun. When that happens you're going to start seeing the death rate shoot up like crazy. The ONLY way we have to prevent this from happening is to limit human contact. Refusing to self-isolate literally puts lives in danger.
So stay safe out there you guys. Wash your hands, don't go outside.
Hello folks. Week one of our country's shut down due to the Coronavirus has passed, and things are looking pretty grim. What we're seeing is a divide in the actions taken between the blue states and red states, which comes from (to nobody's surprise) the right wing's predilection for demagoguery and wholesale consumption of conspiracy theories. In this video we talk about the severely inadequate (and incompetent) government response, right wing media misinformation, and also hoarders, profiteers, and other assorted garbage people.
Hi folks. So shit is definitely starting to hit the fan with our country's reaction to the Coronavirus. People are panic shopping, buying up things like hand sanitizer and toilet paper. In this video here I focus mainly on our President's ridiculous incompetent half-assed response to it. It seems only recently (as of this writing, 3/18/20) that he even took it seriously. Un-freaking-believable.
I've said in multiple videos over the last three years that the biggest danger Trump represents for the country is poor leadership if (and when) a disaster occurs, and I'm sad to say this time is no exception. Make no mistake, there will be people who are going to die now who would have survived under a competently run administration that had a plan and actually gave a damn. We're now seeing what it looks like when we allow the wrong person to seize the reigns of power. We saw the results of such leadership after Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico. Now we're seeing it again as the Coronavirus outbreak topples the house of cards that is the American economy.
For all of you out there, stay safe. Stay indoors, don't go out if you don't have to, wash your hands, and so on. We'll all get through this together. When November rolls around please don't forget what happened, and vote accordinly.
Hello folks. For this week's politics and art stream I talk about the Super Tuesday results and the coronavirus while drawing a hideous demon. People seem to be responding to these videos pretty well so I'll try to make this a weekly thing.
As far as the coronavirus goes, you know usually when we get these pandemic scares it turns out to be nothing special - I mean how many times has this happened over the last decade? Swine flu, bird flu, SARS, and so on, it seems like every three or four years there's another one. This one however has people scared, we haven't seen this kind of response before. Whole countries are going on lockdown, people are starting to panic. I'm getting the feeling that it might be the real thing this time, so everybody out there please take steps to protect yourself.
And also please, believe what the doctors and scientists tell you. Later on in the video at (43:15) I talk about disgraced televangelist Jim Baker, who is hawking a horseshit coronavirus cure made with colloidal silver, (which if you don't know can build up and turn your skin blue so you look like some kind of bizarre Smurf person.) So please be careful, don't fall for misinformation and pseudoscience.
Matt Gaetz is a Republican house rep from Florida, and is one of the grossest, sleaziest, backstabbing two-faced snake oil salesmen to ever slime his way into Congress. He's the kind of guy who would smile right in your face as he kicked your mother off a cliff for a donut. He is the epitome of everything that's wrong with the Republican party. I will never vote Republican, ever, as long as I live, because of guys like him. He's ruined the brand for me.
Anyway, he went on TV and said a bunch of stupid shit on The View, so I made some comments on it.
So I'm an artist, and I figure it would be cool to draw while I talk so that people have something to see besides my giant head taking up the whole stream. So I decided to draw a goblin with a Trump hat while I'm talking about the impeachment aftermath.
It's broken up into two parts, because OBS studio crashed halfway through.
The left in the United States is very divided. While it's great because that gives us (what I think) is a larger diversity of opinion, it also leads us vulnerable to being divided, which is something the conservatives often take advantage of.
So I would like all of you out there who are supporters of the more progressive candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, that if your candidate doesn't make it, to please consider holding your nose and voting for the eventual Democratic nominee for president, no matter who it is. The decisions that the president makes affect millions of people across the entire nation, I believe it's not morally right to allow such bad leadership to continue.
So I know some of you who follow me are probably conservatives or Republicans, and no doubt a few of you are probably Trump supporters. Please remember that this is not a knock on any of you - We can all be cool with each other. We are all Americans, good or bad, right or wrong. We all just want to be safe and live our lives to the fullest. But please, I hope even you guys can see that what's happening here is not right. This man is using the power of his office for his own ends. If he starts a war he or none of his family will be affected, but ours certainly will.
Our president has brought us to the edge of World War III because he's an incompetent idiot who's been allowed to continuously fail upwards simply because of the fact that he's rich, and now that he's being held accountable for something for the first time in his life at the age of fucking 73, instead of actually facing the fucking music he decides to play games with everybody else's lives. It's fucking embarrassing.
It's not supposed to be like this. Please remember that when you got to vote this November.
