They've already been trounced for pulling up a 6 year old article using 8 year old data.

Then they doggedly refused to do the math for recent years that there's literally a school shooting every week in the US.

And that doesn't even touch mass shootings in general.

The really sad part is they do eventually make a point that a lot of the problem is mental health and America's obsession with gun violence. But simply refusing to even admit to the actual frequency of the shootings or that the availability of guns is part of the issue means they'll continue to be ignored.

In the US basically anything paved is pavement.

Asphalt road: Pavement

Concrete sidewalk: Pavement

Giant parking lot: Pavement

Gravel road: Believe it or not - paveme.. well that one's debatable.

Tone is nearly always a bullshit argument used to dismiss the content of what's said without addressing it.

Good communicators don't worry about it too much because there are lots of reasons someone can take a certain tone - for example if they're tired or stressed! So they just make sure they understand what the person is conveying without worrying about how it's conveyed.

Someone who focuses much on tone is likely a poor communicator themselves, or frequently just trying to be manipulative.

While sedation is also accurate, I suspect you meant sedition.

Showing up on Morgan's self-titled show, helping him get views, ratings, clout, and money is taking him down?

Pretty sure that's not how it works.

This is Iran. The mini-bombs were in Lebanon.

This is the third group of people Israel is trying to kill in their apparent attempt to start World War III

Is that a pool of blood?

This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.

Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you're a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.

Tarquin says it best, though much more humorously, here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html

By Rush's personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.

You don't beat such people with legacy.
