Does Bob have a secret list of murdered judges by conservatives he's keeping from the rest of the world or something? (No, I'm not going to grant him the "threat" save.)
Your guess is as good as mine as to what he's referring to. I'll admit that I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every time a judge was killed in this country, or any country for that matter, but the least you could do when making such a bold claim of conservatives' "militia terrorist followers" killing off judges "for decades" is actually provide some fucking citations. But he won't because something something "not my job to educate you" blah blah "you're not even a person" etc.
Bob's also too stupid to understand the political minefield that any administration would be stumbling into in the event that one of the Supreme Court justices on the other side of the fence was murdered. Hypothetically, let's say that this wackjob from Commiefornia actually did manage to kill Kavanaugh. Now there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, so Biden needs to fill it. If he chooses a leftist like he'd want to, that judge would be forever tainted by having Kavanaugh's murder hanging over their head as the only reason they're on the court. The administration would be viewed as taking advantage of a horrible situation for political maneuvering, and they'd lose what little legitimacy they still have. But they also wouldn't want to nominate another conservative because their base wouldn't accept it, and they'd lose face with their constituents. It would be a bad situation no matter how it played out.
But Bob is a brainlet sociopath that just wants red states to suffer, so he sees absolutely no issue with killing off justices to replace them whenever they don't rule on cases the way you want them to.
Bobby cannot see the downside of gun control -- nor, for that matter, of draconian environmental laws.

What is it with the Anglosphere and producing a ridiculous amount of uninformed assholes that think they know American politics better than Americans? Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand...so much retardation. (Some of you are okay I guess.)
If gun control worked, then blue metropolises would be the safest places in the country. One look at Chicago's weekly stats will put that to rest, to say nothing of Baltimore, NYC, LA, Bahstahn, and so on. As the OP Bob's replying to points out, areas with lax gun laws generally have fewer shooting incidents. Logically speaking, if you're reasonably certain that your neighbors are all armed, then you'll probably want to avoid pissing them off. Remember during the Summer of Floyd riots when BLM decided to leave the city and head into the 'burbs? Remember how they got
real quiet once they saw homeowners guarding their property with firearms visible? An armed society is a polite society.
As to his non sequitur about climate change, a good reason to not just "do it anyway" is that most of the proposed solutions are horribly inefficient and a waste of resources. The sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing, so renewables are never going to work for all our needs, and there are plenty of drawbacks that hurt their supposed "green" value. Bob talks big about wanting to rewild the interior of the country, but we'd need a shitload of space for all the solar and wind farms to power the country, not to mention how windmills chop up bats and birds. Making advancements in efficiency to reduce energy consumption is always a good thing, but those sorts of things are generally happening all the time anyway without needing green wackos to pressure them because it makes good business sense to do so.
Don't you know Fox News is lying to you?

How come people can't admit only one Wendy's has been burned by the St. Floyd's Fire?

I think that everyone who lost a business or a home to the "mostly peaceful" riots would like to have a word with Bob and his ilk.
Point by point: 1, if you want to count tiny five-person protests in the overall count, then sure, they weren't all riots, but every major protest devolved into one. 2, I believe it's likely gross hyperbole to suggest that everyone that did not agree with all the rioting believes that these cities were wiped off the face of the earth. A few, perhaps, but there are a few loonies in every group. And 3, of course arrests were made, but when the courts repeatedly declined to actually indict the rioters on crimes and let them back out the next day, then effectively they weren't actually arrested, merely inconvenienced and let out to continue the anarcho-tyrrany.
And then Bob has to come along with his classic fedora-tipping atheist talk because something something Believers bad i r smart. Clearly, he's unaware that euphoric atheists have been mocked for years for saying shit exactly like that.
People simply can't imagine what a big shot Bobby is: at one point he was writing 30% of contents on The Escapist's main page! And now he is engaged in upmarket value-added service!

For someone who claims to not care about his own popularity, Bob gets really defensive when you point out how he's increasingly unpopular. I also enjoy how he's completely fucking vague about his supposed work (what "sectors" are you branching into, Bobbo?) while continuing to pretend that anyone watching MatPat's content is totally there for his Wikipedia skimming skills. And I
definitely believe he's being paid well, and isn't just being given a pittance for doing the gruntwork. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Bob was paying them for the privilege instead.
He blames his channel's downslide on the algorithm, claiming that it isn't promoting him because he's not uploading in a way that it wants him to. While possible, let's compare his recent uploads to that loquacious Lothario, the Drinker:
Bob puts out on average about one or two videos a week, while Drinker puts out on average about two videos a week. If Drinker's success is solely due to his output, then Bob just needs to put in a tiny bit more effort and find something else to talk about in any week he's only putting out one video. I can't imagine it'd be that hard, but then again, I'm not a Thinker. Rather, I think he really pissed off the algorithm by spamming reuploads, and he's still doing that in a sense by lumping together his older videos into single uploads. That, and he's also producing garbage of zero entertainment value.
And speaking of his "independent ventures" providing him a financial cushion, fun tidbit from his Patreon:
Looks like that donation back in April was entirely a one-off thing, because only a couple weeks later, all that extra cash was gone, dropping in about the same amount that it went up. He's once again getting closer to going sub-$3k and back down to the level he was at prior to getting shitcanned from the Escapist a second time. Cushion's getting flatter, Bobbo. (Insert your own fat joke here.)
