The Good & The Ugly: GA Primaries & Abortion Restrictions | May 23, 2018 Act 1 | Full Frontal on TBS

[@Yggi11]

Those two ads... just WHAT? In what kind of country would ANYONE think those were a good idea?? Listen to me, America: Posing with a gun in a political ad IS NOT NORMAL.

[@thoughtlesskills]

There are a lot of Americans that want that to be normal.

[@helenanilsson5666]

In all fairness though, when has USA ever been normal? Granted I'm not an expert on their history but I'm pretty sure they've been extremists one way or another ever since the colonies were established. 0 or 100 on everything, no inbetween.

[@ghostgunace]

It’s all the same?

[@avedic]

No kidding. Those ads are so existentially absurd it's almost impossible to believe they're real. But they are... It really does feel like reality has literally become a parody of itself. I don't even know what else to say....

[@telectronix1368]

This is the 'sort' of country that managed to get something like Trump elected.

[@Maremons]

I was really hoping that she would go for the "Stacy's Mom" reference, and she did. I'm so satisfied right now.

[@RyanMakesStuffOccasionally]

He mispelled "molesters" on the bus.

[@julienguieu5636]

Exactly. If you're gonna be a Latino-hating nativist, at least learn to spell, please!

[@smilingdog4067]

Julien Guieu Those are exactly the type of people that can't spell.

[@ChiddyGamer]

That IS pretty funny! Also... You misspelled the word "misspelled". :)

[@helenanilsson5666]

Lucky for us that a youtube comment is easier to edit than a bus ;)

[@xtraspecialmango]

Mole Testers?

[@MrCal2648]

That Kemp ad looks like a parody. It's says something really bad about our country that it's not.

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

CaptainHappen Actually it tells the truth. You are an angry, fearful, racist nation, and very soon your empire is going to burrrrrrrrn

[@avedic]

Those ads are so existentially absurd it's almost impossible to believe they're real. But they are... It really does feel like reality has literally become a parody of itself.

[@eaubert1]

For a second there, I even thought Kevin Bacon was hired for that "mock ad"!

[@sint0xicateme]

*Poe's law* is an adage of Internet culturestating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied view.

[@nhagan001]

Gotta say, I lost it when she called the two Trump sons "homunculi" .

[@tsarfox3462]

In all fairness there are some legitimate, ethical concerns with abortion. However, pro-life policy has no place in the real world. The only thing that would happen if you outlawed abortions and destroyed planned parenthood is more abortions would take place, and they'd happen in back alleys instead of sterile operating rooms. Bottom line, if you have a problem with abortion, don't get one and don't try to make your personal gripes law.

[@007kingifrit]

nobody wants to compeltely outlaw abortions, but the current levels are not adequate protection for healthy babies

[@tsarfox3462]

@001kingfrit: You're just wrong. The Republican party wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and their policies reflect that. Besides, healthy fetuses aren't the ones who need protection; women are the ones who need protection. The GOP wants to take away the right to an unconditional, first trimester abortion which will only result in back alley abortions. You know what the end result of that is? More women and babies dead.

[@allisondoak9425]

007kingifrit babies can’t get pregnant.

[@chokinonashes61]

Tsar Fox Indeed, Ireland is just about to repeal the abortion laws, us women won't have to "go to England" anymore.

[@thesoundsmith]

This is a Republican regime. Invest in coat hanger factories.

[@feebeedoc78]

That abortion or even access to information about it is still such a thing in the US is so incredibly weird to me. I mean, the whole gun thing is too.. The cure for poverty and disparity around the world (and that includes the US) is called 'the empowerment of women'. Works every time.

[@GreenDragon11]

Rose S Absolutely it does!!

[@kezkezooie8595]

Hear hear!

[@Palmieres]

Barnabas Born Neither of those 3 nations have practiced what they preached because in all of them tradition still vastly outweighs law or day to day behaviour, and tradition still considers women as lesser beings in deeply religious cultures. Don't fool yourself into thinking religion doesn't matter to the Soviets or South Americans in general, despite their politics. Real proof is that empowering women works is, as usual, in Northern European countries, where it's still not perfect but miles away better than anyone else. If we could only get India to keep up the world *would* change radically.

[@lilaclizard4504]

I love how the same people who support the suppression of women & their rights to their bodies are the same ones that are happy to blame the world's problems on overpopulation & suggest forced "population controls". Just empower the women you idiots! The rest follows naturally

[@Syogren]

No but see, the problem is you're trying to use logic and reason and common sense, instead of appeals to sexism and gun fanaticism. That's not how it works around here. Sadly.

[@smilingdog4067]

I'll never be able to reconcile the party of Christian family values being so....mean...

[@lumen8341]

exactly. they are genuinely mean, awful people.

[@stormwatcher59]

Jesus would have no part of today's rethuglican party!

[@angeleyesgreen1586]

Let's see, Jesus loved everyone, he taught generosity, compassion, paying your taxes, caring for the poor, and genuine sacrifice for others This sounds exactly like the party the evangelicals have chosen to support 🤔 Let's see, huge tax breaks, trying to break healthcare, keeping wages down and not supplying more jobs (though the companies said they weren't using their tax savings to create any, so...) Etc

[@jewando1]

That's because they believe it's up to the individual, not the government to help poor people

[@andrewhall7457]

That's putting it nicely

[@censusgary]

“... ‘moderate’ in this case means his ads don’t include any felony confessions.” Yes, that’s about the state of the Republican Party these days.

[@luvvinallmusik5748]

Then the gov't shouldn't pay 4 servicemens' vasectomies. But you can't tell a man what 2 do about HIS body🤔😐

[@007kingifrit]

the difference is servicemen you idiot they worked for and earned that coverage

[@toniacollinske2518]

007kingifrit because women don't serve their country?

[@luvvinallmusik5748]

007kingifrit Female service members do the same but Uncle Sam won't pay for an abortion.

[@ArcaJ]

When a guy who has committed at least five of the Seven Deadly Sins, tries to teach us about morals. 😒

[@Wednesdaywoe1975]

ArcaJ Lets see..Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Envy, Lust, Pride, Greed. Donald Trump is going for the secret decoder ring, obviously.

[@mlpfanboy1701]

ArcaJ 5? Try all 7. He didn't just commit them, he is the embodiment of them. Wrath: he hates Obama because the man made fun of him and now wants to destroy his legacy. He attacks anyone who makes fun of him no matter how minuscule. Greed: the man talks about how rich he is and will happily steal from sick kids to make money. Lust: he has been married to 3 different women and cheated on absolutely all of them. In fact he cheated on wife 1 with wife 2 and wife 2 with wife 3. Ego (my variation of pride): "why should I ask for forgiveness when I'm not making mistakes" or "I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and not lose supporters" Gluttony: have you looked at the guy? Sloth: the man is afraid of stairs, the only "sport" he plays is golf. Envy: he knows Obama was a better president then him and he absolutely hates it!

[@WhiteFangofWar]

The kinds of ads that I can't believe aren't satirical. Those are actual GOP ads that they paid money to make.

[@briganja]

oh god those commercials. . . kemp is hardcore cringey

[@eaubert1]

But he's a Kevin Bacon look-a-like!

[@calditos333]

He is fooling every evangelical out there except for the preachers they know who he really is but they use him for their own benefit. Thanks Sam you’re the best!

[@armedwombat6816]

Do people actually fall for those ads? America might be in deeper trouble than I thought. You sure you want an election? Not a nationwide adult day care program or something?

[@thoughtlesskills]

Maybe it's time to step out of the denial stage. America has been like this for a long time, and it really wasn't that hard to see.

[@JillontheLake]

And here I thought abortion was legal and one's healthcare between doctor and patient. Talk about government overreach. This can not stand. Make a donation to PP in the name of Dumpy. Even if only a dollar.

[@TheHua89]

Gawd I'm glad I'm Canadian. Good luck USA, yikes you need it.

[@CButtonshaw]

except our neighbours (who use to just be weird) now seem like they're trying to burn down their house..... hope the fire doesn't spread.

[@thoughtlesskills]

Not likely any saving this sinking, burning, dilapidated boat.

[@lilaclizard4504]

Out of interest, what happens if an American goes to Canada to try to have an abortion? I'm guessing most of the people effected are too far south to be able to make the trip & probably don't even have a passport or the money to get it, but I am curious if Canada can & will do anything to help them if they can get there. Mexico could be an even mroe interesting question, since it's closer to those mostly effected

[@nickbotsford4567]

Lilac Lizard it's not our job to help you, you made your bed now sleep in it.

[@lilaclizard4504]

well that's just mean Nick! Anyway I'm not in the US, so no bed for me to have to sleep in, I'm down under & we just topped your healthcare system so :P Somehow I don't think the yanks will be coming my way for an abortion though, a little too far to travel. We did sucsessfully offload most of our asylum seekers/so called "illegal immigrants" onto the US though, so transport in that direction's working fine :) Kinda feel for those poor asylum seekers now, looking for a better life & they end up in the US! Could you imagine that! Glad it's not me

[@Moftheworld-lp6ii]

What about Idaho’s Democratic candidate Paulette Jordan the first female Native American governor candidate in US history??

[@666Tomato666]

Native Americans were in power already, before late 1400's, though yes, the translation to "governor" of the positions they held before is a bit more idiomatic

[@peach495]

What about her?

[@maxheath1158]

go her

[@MrWhiteVzla]

Moftheworld 1145 she isn’t black. Currently, only black people are the minority that deserves all the attention. The rest aren’t that relevant

[@الفوز-ع9ع]

president camacho no they care about equality for all human kind while republicans care about white supremacy

[@BookishCarly]

Those Republican candidates...wow. It's horrifying that, based on their ads, their platforms seem to be "let's needlessly ruin people's lives."

Homunculus at 5:30 A homunculus (Latin for 'little man') "is a representation of a small human being. Popularized in sixteenth-century alchemy and nineteenth-century fiction, it has historically referred to the creation of a miniature, fully formed human."

[@err0r0b0]

I'm personally against abortion, but I am pro choice. My personal beliefs should not dictate the choices, free will and rights of others. Religious tolerance for 100..

[@sbs3000]

The ad in which Kemp used a room full of guns to "subtly" threaten a kid who was trying to date his daughter was also terrifying.

[@bioLarzen]

Wonder if it ver dawned on thsi Michael Williams guy that he starts off his ad by exiting a bus that says "MURDERERS, RAPISTS, KIDNAPPERS, CHILD MOLESTORS AND OTHER CRIMIMALS ON BOARD"... So, come on Michael, tell us, why were you on that bus exactly? :)

[@AnaluGPrd]

I love Stacy Abrams she's a role model for everyone, the woman had 3 degrees by 29 including a JD from Yale and even tho Atlanta is pretty progressive the rest of the Georgia State is not.

[@SomethingPrettyNew]

bruh his deportation bus broke down due to water in the gas tank 😂

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

Is the Brian Kemp ad real? It sounds like such a parody.

[@julienguieu5636]

Hardly surprising. To paraphrase an old Stewart Lee routine about Boris Johnson, lately the GOP has become the world's first self-parodying party.

[@thoughtlesskills]

Huge portion of the human race seems like such a parody. Turns out it's no joke.

[@catgilfillan2991]

Oh Sam, you bring me hope and light and for that I thank you.

[@Markr980]

'...rawdog a woman you call 'Mother' like the Lord Jesus intended...' #CLASSIC

I live in Georgia, and I haven't seen a single republican campaign ad that isn't pounding the illegal immigrant button.

[@darkprose]

”I love getting excited news to me. Me listening of you.”

[@DJames-fn3cl]

Have you heard this one.....2 Corinthians walk into a bar.......?????

[@peach495]

That's a nice excuse for Trump. He never the less has lived a lifetime in the United States & IF he was truly pious & went to church at all in the last 60 years, he wouldn't say it like that. He's acting pious for his evangelical, hypocrite conservative supporters.

[@alyteima4185]

Oh. My. God. Is this actually happening?!!

[@broddr]

I live in Georgia, and those ads Samantha showed are among the mildest that were on tv prior to the primary. The republican candidates seemed to be in competition for who could be most xenophobic and racist and gun loving.

[@Ottersauce]

Dude. Trying to deal with the amount of dumb policies in Georgia gives me brain aneurysms. I just want my state to sain and like, human

[@alanfriesen9837]

Brad, what's your feeling for how the election is going out there? Georgia's one of the most urbanized states in the south and Georgia's cities are fairly progressive. While I realize that the rural areas are probably as red as it gets, does it feel like the Democrat has a chance?

[@shyfamless4046]

I missed your happy yet concerned face Sam!

[@michaelramon2411]

As a Georgian, I considered voting in the Republican primary for the same reason I voted in the 2016 Republican primary - to try and get someone mildly sensible on both party's ballots. Unfortunately, I concluded that trying to deduce who was the least crazy of 5 similar-looking men each trying to convince me that they are the MOST crazy was too much and so I went and voted for a Stacy instead.

[@nromk]

So let me get this straight: immigrants bad, celebrities in power good. Got it

[@Martian74]

nromk illegal immigrants are bad, legal ones are fine. Basically when you are in power you are a celebrity by default. Are the Obamas celebrities? Yes. Is Hillary Clinton a celebrity? Yes. If you are in power you will get famous somewhere.

[@nromk]

first of all they were not any "illegal immigrants" in the USA before 1945, before 1945 you just came here and lived, second of all no politicians a not celebrities, they're people who do a job, Trump or Carmen Salinas or Jimmy Morales going into politics is wrong because they are people with no expertists in government or politics and we should expect experts not dumb people with lots of money to become politicians.

[@lavrentivs9891]

...Ronald Reagan.

[@thoughtlesskills]

Lavrentivs. Ah yes, mustn't forget the old GOP God Emperor.

[@lavrentivs9891]

[@Alcagaur1]

Three years ago, Kemp would have had to be an SNL-style skit.

[@thomasbias5260]

As a Christian, I welcome your exposure of trump and the republican evangelicals. The only way to realize their hypocrisy is to know that Christian teachings do happen in Church worship opportunities and the evangelical ideology is political not Christian.

[@billk2742]

Try running a better candidate next time! If the Dems had any brains at all they would of rallied around Martin O'Malley. He would of been a unity candidate between the left and the center and he would be sitting in the white house right now. Instead both sides ran the most devisive political figures to come along in the past half century. You people are such sore losers and hahaha hate had nothing to do with it.

[@darthleia250]

I'm against the government banning abortion or guns...we need to follow the Constitution all the way in order to protect all of our rights. Doesn't matter what you believe personally, as long as it doesn't interfere with your help in defense of our individual rights. Do you trust the government from one year to the next? And do you want to put these same people in charge of everyone's personal reproductive and self-defense rights? I don't personally support abortion but since it's constitutional, I vote in support of protecting rights. And on guns, personally I think guns are guns and if you give the government and inch they'll ban them all...and we know what'll happen then (illegal market/gangs/death). I think legislation hasn't done much to stop crime, and since the Trump family can have armed guards protecting them at all times then so can our children have that level of protection at school. I'm sure there are experienced and retired vets we could hire at schools who'd be happy to protect our children.

[@mzeewatk846]

Samantha makes me happy every time something new comes on line. Resist!

[@homewall744]

How exactly can the federal government control speech about abortion, which is legal per SCOTUS/Constitution? Clearly that violates the First Amendment.
