what the hell, so they didn't get the shooter?

Shooter was apprehended from what I saw

Not a Charlie Kirk fan whatsoever but never would wish what I just saw on him or anyone. Identity politics in America has gone well beyond too far. Its out of hand and needs to stop now. Dude got blasted in broad daylight for being mildly annoying online. Insane

Ive been playing nothing but Rematch so sounds like Ill just be playing soccer for three months. Might die from tools spamming Good job! If anything.

What negatives relating to the Trump admin HAVEN'T been swept under the rug. A video of Donald hooking up with a minor wouldn't even mean shit in the long run. He's the ultimate criminal, immune to any consequences his entire life.

Hence why I specified I do not think THIS one will. Yeah sure the others did.

This is how you handle business!

I want to cool things down because I do agree with most of what you guys are saying. AOC actually uses the term nazis a lot and I think shes great so I guess I wont be a hypocrite. Tim Walz was amazing though. He was my favorite part of the campaign. When he was calling people fucking weird was crazy. Thats really what Im trying to say. We dont have to jump all the way down there. Lets just talk like normal people.

This shit is fucking weird and disgusting. Its not who we are. Everyone can understand that.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]



I will say I wholeheartedly agree with this. Tim Walz roasts were my favorite part of the campaign. Attack Trump though, dont use Auschwitz.

Roast the fuck out of those bums. I just feel some people in that effort get close to acting like MAGA. Will say and do whatever to drive the point. At that point you are exactly what you despise.

The Democratic Party does need to course correct, and that course correction is to stop letting pearl clutchers like you control them. It's absolutely laughable that you think they're being too divisive when they're still bending over backwards to show how willing to compromise they are even with everything that's happened.

Youre wrong but I really dont care. When this type of rhetoric gets you nowhere come back and we can talk. You guys are so far removed from what average Americans actually talk like and care about.

This is why I said Biden should have released the files. People dont give a shit how much you call everyone a Nazi.

Im not blaming anyone. Im pointing out something is factually not effective because it isnt.

Did I vote for Kamala? Yes. And I would again. Do I think she was the best candidate they could have put forth? FUCK NO. You can highlight mistakes and leave it at that.

You guys are ostracizing people with the same feelings as you because you insist on dying on this hill. The Democratic Party is not without fault and this is the time to correct course.

"The messaging is not working so we should all ease up and let the fascists control the framing like the Dems have been doing for decades, that surely will fix things!"

You're hopeless dude.

When did I say ease up? I literally said we need boots on the ground and we need to SHOW people whats going on. Thats taking action. But you think its more effective to sit here and yell at people. Serves nobody but Im sure you can sleep better at night pretending you did something. I get the point, I always did. Youre mad for no reason.

DoesntMatter posted...

BECAUSE IT FUCKING IS! Donald Trump and the MAGA cult is unequivocally the BIGGEST and most dire existential threat this country has faced since the Civil War. What do you not fucking understand about that?

Calm down. Completely agree. The point is the MESSAGING IS NOT WORKING. That is a fact. Dems dont control any of the three branches.

Calm the fuck down and make a real strategy. Yelling into the void is not helpful. I get it. Now lets come up with a real strategy.

I'm pretty convinced he thinks we're making comparisons to the Holocaust to be edgy and funny or some bullshit.

Do I really need to explain you can make the comparison without fucking saying Alligator Auschwitz? Like stop being intentionally dense. Theres a right and wrong way to send a message. Its literally that simple.

DoesntMatter posted...

Yes they were. Auschwitz was in occupied Poland.

Key word:occupied.

Enclave posted...

I get it's just your opinion, it's just a bad opinion. We've been hearing that kind of talk since before 2016, civility doesn't do shit. You give the fascists an inch and they'll take a mile.

Weve also been hearing the rhetoric about how the sky is falling since 2016. You can say its a bad opinion all you want but why do you think Democrats lost the 2024 election? At some point you have to be real, face the facts and admit this strategy doesnt work and pivot.

Mind boggling to me how people have not even thought about why or how we got to this point. You have to adjust.

Brother, Trump has recently talked about selling captured migrants back to the farmers to make them work for them again. But as slaves. Be for real dude

My guy Im not saying whats going on isnt on that track Im saying the messaging isnt working. Instead of making catch phrases we need testimony, media coverage, boots on the ground.

People believe what they see not what you tell them. And the more you tell them something they can not see the more it looks like a lie.

Like Ive said this whole time I agree with everything you guys are saying I simply think there is a more effective way to message.

Enclave posted...

It's not people trying to do edgy humour, it's people trying to get others to fucking see exactly how serious this shit is.

Brother its been in the news. People see they just dont care. I think a lot of people can be swayed but we have to change the messaging. Just my opinion.

Lord_of_BeefDip posted...

Alligator Auschwitz is something that has you pearl clutching?

I don't like extremist rhetoric, but there is nothing extreme about referring to what is a concentration camp as such. Just because it isn't a death camp doesn't mean it shouldn't be referred to as that, because the death campa weren't there day one, it took time for it to escalate to that point.

And we are a lot closer to many aspects of early Nazi Germany than you seem to think, and the idea is to call it out and keep it from progressing further towards that sort of endgame. If that means using strong words to draw a comparison that might make people uncomfortable, then so be it. Because people should be uncomfortable with something like that, on US soil or otherwise. And it needs to be addressed and discussed without mincing words or using polite language.

Man I just dont think we should be using the holocaust to make catch phrases. Its objectively not cool and I dont see how thats a hot take.

What I feel a lot of people dont see is that type of rhetoric comes off as extreme. Every action is like the sky is falling. Yes I do agree we are in a humanitarian crisis. With that being said you have to understand how words will land in peoples mind. Is whats going on messed up and needs to stop? Yes. Is whats going on equal to the holocaust? Absolutely not.

Jews in 1940s Germany werent shipped to another country. They were tortured, forced to work and straight up killed. Its objectively not the same and to say it is is disingenuous.

I honestly think extreme leftists arent much better than MAGA if Im being honest. For example the Alligator Auschwitz thing. Like people are literally using the holocaust where 6 million+ Jews and minorities died to prove their point. Thats messed up. Obviously I dont agree with whats happening but thats not even necessary to drive the point. These people have the audacity to feign moral superiority too.

I also dont mean people that are extremely left on the political spectrum. I mean people that simply land left and use extreme rhetoric.

Of alcohol yes but this topic just made me want to grab a beer so screw it.

Raycon posted...

Yeah, for the most part I find their posts fairly logical... but sometimes to a fault. Very... evidence-based. With the Epstein stuff they weren't even going to entertain other possibilities without a smoking gun to back it up. I... would like to think with something more substantial they would be more open to possibilities.

= S

The thing is thats not even evidence based. The video is confirmed to be altered. Doesnt take a genius to connect the dots.

El_Dustino posted...

you know i saw a good point brought up

Republicans are STILL harping on about Hunter Biden's laptop despite there being no story there

They don't let things go

So why should we believe them when they suddenly say there's no Epstein file?

Dont forget Hillarys emails. They also talk nonstop about Biden.

To me it proves how effective the propaganda is that Biden is considered the left

People focused on semantics are honestly not helping anything. Most people think of it as Democrats vs Republicans or left vs right. It helps nobody to be like WELL ACTUALLY he was a moderate.

I notice a lot of people left leaning get caught on the specific verbiage used more so than the actual message and it comes off as holier-than-thou which is really offputting. I genuinely believe this type of rhetoric is what led to Trump winning again.

Ill be honest I think the left is involved as well. It doesnt make sense to me how the Biden admin would have known Trump was on this list and not made that public knowledge unless Dems were also on it.

I really think this isnt even a left vs right thing its just a matter of the elite class. Dems should be all over this and theyre not. Obviously Republicans are the ones blatantly lying which is wrong but there was a time not long ago this could have been easily brought to light and wasnt for whatever reason.

Seems to have been altered in Adobe Premiere Pro. Experts confirm that it is two videos stitched together. Obviously nobody believed that crap in the first place but the DOJ is caught dead to rights blatantly lying.

Relatedly, here's Chuck Schumer's statement.
https://bsky.app/profile/ericmgarcia.bsky.social/post/3ls64jg37ak2a

Not asking for congressional approval is the problem. I dont think the US should be involved but if Congress supported it at least you know it has been discussed at length. Right now it seems as if Trump unilaterally made this choice which is a huge problem.

Israel struck first. The US should not be involved. There has to be consequences at some point for taking such drastic action without congressional approval. He very well could have started WW3.

I dont understand why we are constantly bending for Netanyahu. If he wants to fight then he can do it alone.

i was able to stack 3 years of ultimate using the old gold conversion trick before they nerfed it for $112. Since then ive added another year and a half using reward points and various codes. So like 4 and a half years of ultimate for $112. Most insane value ive ever had in my many years of gaming. I think it comes out to around $2 a month for me lmao

Shouldnt even be legal

I'm just not keen on supporting a system that's clearly trying to become the future distribution of games. Already have Ubisoft saying we don't own games, so I would prefer to buy what I want to play outright. In the age of the Internet it's not like researching a game takes long and you can see plenty of different perspectives and gameplay reviews.

So I don't sub to that stuff. Not the biggest issue if others do but I don't trust MS and a digital subscription future

They just raised the price to $80 a game. Might as well.

Ah, yes. I also enjoyed getting my free issues of Nintendo Power in the mail for $42 a year. Subscriptions ftw.

Anyone thats been playing online console gaming for the last 10 years already has a monthly subscription. Its not like this a new concept. The way I see it yeah its $10/month but $10 vs $20 a month is such an insignificant amount it feels free. You need a membership to game regardless.

Kaldrenthebold posted...

It's not free tho

SkittyOnWailord posted...

Game Pass doesn't cost anything?

Its not free but honestly I never even notice the money come out of my account. Its well worth the investment. There are games I never would have bought that I tried and loved. There are games I thought Id love that I didnt like at all and saved the money on. You get access to a ton of games and peace of mind that youre not wasting money. Thats huge to me.

Downloaded Oblivion Remastered last night. Im playing on Legion Go and honestly, I expect it to run like shit. Game Pass lets me test that out risk free though which is such a great feature. If its bad, I delete and lose nothing. If its good I have 100+ hours of entertainment free of charge.

I also never played Oblivion so this is gonna be fun.

I was randomly invited to a company right after they 3v1 ganked someone which was hilarious to see. Definitely seen some group beat downs.

It is.

Underrated game. Im hanging out in town square after finishing an expedition. Theres a guy on voice chat talking randomly, theres another guy performing a song that grants a buff, ton of people just hanging out. On top of that its actually a solid RPG with a ton of content and good mechanics. Wars, PVP, its just a great game honestly.

Best game Ive never heard about lol.

That shit is never getting released. The official House Judiciary GOP account literally Rick rolled people looking for the release today. Theyre laughing at you and know theres nothing anyones gonna do about it.

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019. The government has consistently dangled the Epstein files in the publics face like a rabbit chasing a carrot. The official House Judiciary GOP twitter account(fuck Elon)literally Rick rolled people posting a tinyurl link labeled as The Epstein files. How are we allowing this be hidden for six years?? How are we allowing elected officials to so brazenly troll us? Theyre not even hiding it.

On top of that scumbag Tates release was negotiated by the White House. Like wtf is going on??? Literally nothing being done right now is acceptable and nobody is doing fucking anything about it.

This country is a fucking embarrassment. Republicans are straight up pieces of shit and Democrats are too cowardly to even do anything about it. This shit is downright unacceptable. I hate this shithole country.

Im actually flabbergasted Love and Thunder has so many votes. It was good. Age of Ultron also has no business near this list.

MDM gonna be like "So? Are you saying grown men shouldn't be uncomfortably close with minors?"

let's not forget Drake leveled some accusations at Kendrick too, like calling him a woman beater, his kid not being his own, and that his mom molested him

No. Im just gonna state the complete obvious which is if he was a pedophile the case would be filed. If he was a pedophile he certainly wouldnt be doing this literally right in front of a camera.

Kylie Jenner was literally in a relationship with Tyga at 17 yet were talking about Drake.

The fact of the matter is if anyone on the planet ACTUALLY thought Drake was a pedophile hed be cooked already. I dont believe you do though. I think most people are simply followers hyping clown shit.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Defamation only applies when you know the accusation is false. Seeing as Drake has been caught multiple times chatting up 17 year olds there's a pretty good reason to believe he'd go younger than 18 if it was legal.

That is not true whatsoever. Not knowing something is false is not a defense for negligence. When you hold influence it comes with the position.

Also the last part is completely and utterly false/ridiculous. Drakes baby mom is 34, hes been linked to Serena and Rihanna who are also well over 30. His dating history is easily traceable and nobody is even close to 18. The notion he would go for someone under 18 when literally all evidence suggests otherwise is flat out dumb.

Once again it is absolutely insane how facts, logic and reason escape peoples minds so they can glaze Kendrick. Literally nothing you said is true. The mental gymnastics being done to push some BS you heard in a song.

You guys keep up the bad jokes. Ill be over here with the people that dont think false claims of pedophilia are funny. Something to ponder though:

Antifar posted...

Well actually, if you'll recall, they had done crimes for years before being accused and charged.

Completely irrelevant. The point is that actual sexual abusers have never faced this much public scrutiny. For an entity as large as the NFL to even imply that is textbook defamation especially with zero evidence. This is a problem regardless of how you feel about Drake or Kendrick.

SaikyoStyle posted...

I dont respect MrDrMans opinion. It isnt even real. It, like, doesnt matter at all.

Literally nobody asked. You cant refute the point. I do not care about anything you say.

The half time show was ass. Besides that I think its pretty insane how nobody finds a problem with giant entities endorsing claims of pedophilia with zero evidence. Harvey Weinstein, Diddy, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, etc. had ACTUAL cases and allegations against them for years without this much public slander. Drake who has never had any type of case or evidence brought against him ever is being crucified.

Kendrick is a bum and a hypocrite. Its not a damn revolution. He is being absolutely carried by the industry for reasons I do not know.
