    Sorry just have to say that Ronan is one handsome fellow. Hard not to be distracted. Looks like how I imagined Narcissus from Greek mythology.

    Funny how Ronan looks like a transgender Frank Sinatra. Failing that maybe a pre-raphaelite scarecrow wannabe.

    Can any Trump supporters really argue – honestly – that the 6th was all just secret leftists that hated Trump and wanted to make him look bad after he had already lost the election and would be gone anyways? Why would you stage a violent insurrection to disrupt congress certifying the election when the guy you hate is the one who lost and will be gone at the same time regardless? That is just 25D chess stupid. I mean…known vocal Trump supporters were there. they all had Trump gear. Every well known right wing Trump loving group/militia/club/etc was there. Did Trump say “we love you” to a bunch of secret deep state antifa leftist commies and not call for the arrest of anybody from the group he constantly calls for people to be arrested from? I mean…I honestly don’t think they even believe this talking point…they just have to say it because otherwise they have to admit they are victims of misinformation and worshipped a literally moronic con man who did nothing but tell them how rich he was while asking for their money and doing nothing useful to help them.

    Kinda surprised Stephen didn’t ask any questions about Allen Vs. Farrow. THAT was a disturbing & really appalling indictment of Woody Allen and Hollywood; well worth the watch.

    So this guy’s father is Woody Allen but his mother Mia Farrow says it might be Frank Sinatra, she says “they never really split up” . Is there any doubt in looking at him that he looks a lot like Sinatra and nothing like Allen

    It is ridiculous that the Qtards think that Antifa/BLM staged the insurrection to reverse an election that was already won…..just to make tRump “look bad” after we had four years of him doing that to himself.

    We do not have a great police force in America, we have a domestic paramilitary force presided over by racist white men who run the gamut from Archie bunker types all the way to David duke.

    There are no “good” cops, just everyday people who were given a gun and enough legal slack to get away with murder.

    Extremely concerned about the mental health of the people involved in/supportive of the Jan 6th Capitol Riot. It seems they always have an excuse as to why nothing is their responsibility (apparently they, like their false prophet can do no wrong and are super-human). Our country is in some very dark days with these people and their extremist GOP representatives. If we worked hard to get Biden in now, we’ll need to work 10x harder to make sure they don’t find each and every loophole possible to suppress votes.

    You are always so pro Stacie Abrams, you bear responsibility as well. She screwed Georgia worse than Republicans. We trusted her. We got into the voting booth, and it was shock and awe! The blank ballot!!!!!! 2 of 3 spaces where a Democrat name should be were simply blank! . For promoting her above me, you beat responsibility too. Can you do anything to fix it?

    the skull thing has to do with eugenics and phrenology a failed attempt to know things about behaviour based on skull structure. thats how deep this goes, these people follow “great” leaders who believed things proven false over 100 years ago. they revere the same people nazis held aloft for their eugenics programs. its terribly sad and disturbing people still believe these things enough to hurt others.

    I like his humility; he doesn’t come across as arrogant or vain. I can’t say I agree with him on “great law enforcement.” That’s the view of a very privileged person. I would say “often abusive, racist law enforcement.”

    “I studied the shape of your skull” Let me translate that for people who don’t know. Phrenology is a discredited racist belief from the 19th century that claims to be able to predict the mental capacities of an individual based on the shape of someone’s skull. It was used by racists to justify racial slavery and was also used by the Nazi’s during WWII to validate their racist beliefs that Jewish people were somehow inferior. I’m not saying that this “Oathkeeper” was a racist idiot. But he certainly wanted Ronin Farrow to think he was.

    Would love to see Ronan do his journalistic best on the plague of sexual assaults within the Australian parliament, including an historic one by the Attorney-General.
    It is all Murdoch here, and he does not give a toss about sexual assaults in the workplace, or anywhere.
    Many thanks Ronan.
