    The online waterboarding I’ll always remember was when FPSRussia did it back in the day. That channel was all about big guns, glorifying weapons and war.

    He said he’d do a live stream (back when they were still new) where he’d get waterboarded. The stream lasted 5 minutes total, and ended with him being waterboarded for only a few seconds before the camera shut off. Chat wasn’t even egging it on because of how awful it is to watch someone get tortured.

    No idea how Hannity can say it isn’t torture

      Christopher Hitchens kept insisting it wasn’t torture but had the guts to actually undergo it to prove it and he only lasted a few seconds. After he was like “yeah, that’s torture, I was wrong.”

      His weird rightist swing late in life was pretty disgusting but I will respect that he actually put his money where where his mouth was and recanted his earlier statements.
