General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 1072

That Facebook status has aged like milk in the sun, but what does calling Ike from Marvel, a prominent racist, have to do with Armie's mom being a Trump supporter? He's said before about how his views differ from her's.

 

he was being a dick about it like when he was a dick about people posting selfies with Stan Lee after his death, but obviously it's shitty that our money is going to billionaires with shit views

 

That second tweet is definitely a bad look for whoever Armie Hammer is (never heard of him), but leading with that first tweet was an odd decision. There are plenty of left-wingers whose parents support Trump.

 

Weird coincidence that The Rewatchables just did that movie...now I can't listen cause i'll just be thinking of Trump

 

He played the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network

 

I don't know if I've ever seen it. And I've seen almost every other movie they've done.

 

Imagining Trump fast forwarding to the 'good parts' is hilarious. I bet he could get through Gladiator in about 15 min. It'd be fun to compile a list of movies that aren't exactly Trump Friendly...stuff with lots of commentary for him to FF through to get to the action.

Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
Any Tarantino Movie
Forrest Gump

 

yeah this checks out

 

White House Once Again Circulating A Draft Executive Order On Social Media Bias

Again, the draft is still a draft and no verifiable copies have been released. But this does indicate the White House still wants to take action against social media platforms for their moderation efforts. What's a bit more chilling -- when you consider the voices behind these statements and where they currently reside -- is the comments made by these officials about social media moderation.

Not good.

 

I look forward to the comprehensive, tell-all book about Twitter that shows what dumb dork Jack is and how he wasn't fit to run the company.

 

So what’s the aim of that? To make Twitter bring back the grifters and crazies?

 

I wanted to share this here too.
I've been in El paso on vacation visiting my family for the past week. Saturday morning I hear from a family member that 15 cop cars pulled into Cielo Vista mall while he was on his way there. I search online and find headlines of "possible active shooter" that were posted less than a minute before. My mom and I start calling our family members to make sure they are not there since this Walmart is literally minutes from our neighborhood and it's what we refer to as "our Walmart". My brother in law was in the parking lot about to enter the Walmart when he saw cops running in with weapons drawn. Thankfully none of my family were inside the Walmart. I am still in a state of shock that this happened in my hometown, nothing ever happens here. That this person drive 10 hours to hunt people just because we look different from him. Here's a link full of things that people can do/donate to help the victims here.

I wouldn't be liking my mom's pro trump posts, if that was truly the case

 

I know I’m late on this but I laughed so damn hard at this:

 

Another white supremacist planning to commit a hate crime, but racism isn’t real and the left are the terrorists right?

 

So this was found in Arlington, TX and everyone here is sharing it with friends.

 

Not rated a good poll on 538 (C+) but good numbers there for Warren and Bernie, not so much for Harris.

 

wtf

 

Also just a theoretical, but lets say going into the convention that Joe needs some of the undecided super delegates to get the nomination and Warren is 2nd place and Bernie is 3rd....what are the promises that get made that get them to endorse Joe or whatever? Like, obviously if neither of them will be the VP candidate, so promises would have to be made about senate committees, right? Does Chuck Schumer automatically agree to whatever happens? I don't really know how the backroom stuff works with shit like that.

 

I've said this here before but this is all I want. Warren to win the nomination, have Trump try to roast her for "Pocahontas" or whatever in the first debate, only to have her say "Donald can talk about my grandmother's story of our heritage all he wants, I'm not going to stand up here and waste my time talking about how he's cheated on all 3 of his wives, illegally paid off a porn star to keep her from spilling secrets on his cheating on the first lady, his refusal to pay workers that built his properties because's a scumbag con man of a person. See, I'd rather talk about my plan for..."

I feel like she'd be so good at effortlessly dropping something like that.
