Members Khan Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) More on Chicken George's sit-down with Massa Trump's son-in-law: https://splinternews.com/van-jones-interview-with-jared-kushner-was-a-master-cla-1829910507 And from his pitiful excuse of a defense: People on Twitter are saying, cut him off, beat him up. I’m like, ‘This is the first time you’re hearing him say something. You want me to stop him from saying something?’ I want to hear him say something. But he didn't say anything, fool! That's the problem! You didn't ask anything important, and he didn't say anything important! My Lord. At least Ellen Degeneres would've had him get up and play some dumb-ass game with the audience. Basically, he had an opportunity to ask that traitorous s.o.b. Jared Kushner some hard questions about the Trump administration, but instead, he made it the most toothless convo this side of "Iyanla Fix My Life." No, I take that back, because even Iyanla would've been like, "Real talk, boo, fish stinks from the head down!" All VJ did, IMO, was help normalize another of these nasty mutherfuckers who are hurting this country.

Members Juliajms Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks for answering Khan. I'm sad to hear that VJ screwed up his chance to hold JK's feet to the fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 Iyanla would have been all over the daddy issues that helped us get where we are today. In other happy, happy, happy news: And it looks like Republicans have the edge so far in early voting, which sadly doesn't surprise me. You can feel the glee in this NBC writeup. "Purple wave" indeed. Andy Lack must be grinning ear-to-ear and extending Megyn Kelly's contract right now. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/republicans-outpacing-democrats-early-voting-key-states-nbc-news-finds-n922881 Seeing that Trump's approval ratings have climbed even as he is trying his hardest to get us into nuclear war and even as he and the GOP openly say they are coming after Medicare and Social Security and even as tariffs make the economy falter more and more just makes me feel like if there was a tipping point we've already passed it. The bar is SO low for this man because the hate he spreads is so alluring to so many. I guess all we can do is vote and hope for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 All he needs to do is put the "white" before it and he'd be 100% accurate (for once). The only feature(s) I really want are a proper quote feature (where I can insert a quote from a previous thread/section) and something where I can make the messageboard dark (like they do in Gmail). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 Also, any discussion of 'voter enthusiasm' in early voting that does not include the effect of gerrymandering or voter suppression cannot truly be taken seriously.

Members JaneAusten Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 The medias doing the jobs of the GOP time and time again. Ignore the reports and vote.

Members Vee Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) My understanding of the 'purple wave' reports (especially the NBC one) is that they are skewed to traditionally Republican-leaning areas and/or older voters - not an accurate reflection of the full picture, which still leans heavily blue. It's just another way for media to pump up the beloved 'horse race' narrative while eliding the facts. But we shouldn't get complacent.

Members marceline Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) The company that provided the data to NBC is pretty much calling shenanigans on that bogus report. Edited October 23, 2018 by marceline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 23, 2018 Members Share Posted October 23, 2018 He also became infamous for tearing up and crying on-air after Trump's first State of the Union(?) last year and saying "this is the moment Trump became president!" That's what lost me completely. It's sad because he used to do good work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
