His brain literally broke trying to change up the mental gymnastics.

“Wait, reality isn't what I say it is, because of the words that I spoke aloud?”

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The classic Bill O'Reilly strategy of debate is just to say your bullshit louder than the other person, prevent them from getting a word in edgewise, and if they do start to pick up momentum and make good points, just mute their mic, declare yourself the winner and end the interview after slipping in one more "pinhead" comment. He's slipping in his old age.

It would be a shame if he were to die immediately. Of old age.

Isn't that gropey grandpa Bill O'Reilly? When did they thaw him out and stick him in front of a camera again?

100%, I watched his show regularly around 9/11 and knew it was him instantly.

The conservative propaganda machine has been propped up by thousands of mentally ill fascist placeholders over the years.

Pretty awesome for them to have a sex pest on to talk about a child rapist. Fair and balanced.

[–] dipcart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Its only fair to have this debate if they have someone for molesting kids and against molesting kids. Otherwise its biased.

The tides go in the tides go out, do the tides rape kids? Nobody knows…

Man dude looks SO MAD that the other guy’s like “bro I literally cannot figure out how you aren’t getting that 2019 is before 2020.”

He could have just mentioned that garland and Biden had their entire four years to release the files

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But then he cannot deflect all the blame from Trump and it would be a both sides story.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It kind of is a both sides story lol

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Of course. But Republicans cannot get an out by just blaming Democrats here since the arrest and suicide happened under Trump. Of course many Democrats are on the list too so that is never getting released.

Why is O'Reilly relevant again. I thought we got rid of that asshole and replaced him with new models of asshole.

Ah using a VPN by any chance? Its a really old post about him. This Lemmy post reminded me of it.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, on T-Mobile network with no VPN

Make sure your browser isn't trying to force an https URL. I had the same issue until I changed it back to http

Fuck it! We'll do it live!

[–] notabot@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

"...ok"

I'd love to think that his next words involved acknowledging that he didn't know what he's talking about, but they didn't, did they?

[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

What a pinhead

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

And with that, his empire of relevance and prominence fell. He no longer is the important figure head he once was and he's clinging for any inch of attention someone can give him. He went out, not with a bang but a whimper.

The next time you hear his name will be in an obituary.
