The Politics Thread

That's what Time would have done for many years. Now we get a Tina Brown-esque hack and patch job.

 

I think that the lack of sincerity is what hurts many in this type of debate. When I look at that cover, not for a minute do I believe Time actually cares. Just as a lot of the people who prop up the media mostly seem to be phoning in their reactions, because deep down, it doesn't really affect them anyway. The days of real grief or emotion in media outlets or in most politicians feel long gone.

Oh yes the GOP cares for the military so much they are covering up a report showing they are being poisoned.

I think you or someone else was talking about this last year. It's just awful.

I thought I'd seen and heard it all.

Y'all see that the WH had extended an executive order from 2008, declaring a national emergency over the North Korea threat? 

 

Is North Korea a nuclear threat or not?

 

It boggles the mind the amount of lies, disinformation and propaganda that trump gets away with.

At least we know some blacks from the projects wouldn't mind staying in those detention centers.

Tonight in 2018 a.k.a. "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" - Tom Arnold!

He is (or was, I don't know what he does now) a talented writer and comedian, but if people don't realize after tonight that Tom Arnold cares about attention and not a lot else, then they never will. There's a reason he and Roseanne got together. Seeing people on Twitter actually believing all this stuff with Cohen was embarrassing.

That, Ms. Campos-Duffy, is what we, in the AA community, call "playin' you for a fool."

There are so many apologists for Trump out there it's sickening.  "It's just summer camp". "it's better than the projects."  F*ck everyone of these people.  I thought I had weeded all of the Trumpers out of my life, but one eluded me. Just today with a Facebook post about how that Time's cover was a lie and the little girl in the photo was never taken from her mother.  I have no idea if that's true, but it's obviously not the point. Over 2000 were taken, so anyone trying to minimize that trauma is delusional in my book.  I just pray the democrats can take back the house in November because we are well and truly a heartless nation right now.

I don't believe she talked to any black people in the projects.Fox has her on to talk about immigration issues because Mexican American.  Fox is good at playing the token card and I can't be  racist/sexist, etc if I have a friend who is black/latino/female. Campos-Duffy along with her future husband were contestants on the Real World back in the early or mid 90s.  She was one of the  finalists to replace Lisa Ling when Ling left the on View but Elisabeth Hasselbeck was chosen instead.

Didn't Campos-Duffy basically turn her back on Pedro Zamora when she discovered he had AIDS?  She and her husband deserve one another, both idiotic bigots.

 

Speaking of another idiotic bigot, wasn't this man's summit with Kim supposed to render the nuclear threat completely over, according to him?  To say, he changes like the weather would be an insult to weather and meteorologists everywhere.

I don't know if anyone has seen this but the compilation of these statistics are quite interesting.
