goDel Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If you've got an hour to spend, here's an interesting talk Maggie Haberman did on Trump and his relationship with the press. Whatever you think of her as a journalist, she certainly studies her subject and gives an honest assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2018/08/15/social-distortion-mike-ness-beating/ Snowflake acts like an asshole at a punk show and gets the shit beat out of him by lefty singer. Wants to use it to meet the band. That's a pretty shitty way to deal with a heckler, but I hear this attitude a lot and it is infuriating: “I pretty much said I paid for your music, not your politics.”Like, if you make art that has any intrinsic value beyond a politics, you're supposed to not be political? Nobody would say this to a white supremacist band or even a Christian band, mostly because their music almost definitely sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Did no one tell the guy that people fight at punk shows? Also, I'm surprised it's Social D that did that. They're barely punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Jesus will this guy please go away - an embarrassment to humanity, let alone America: Man people don't even bring up the Birther bullshit he peddled years ago. It's surreal to recall that pre-2016 that was literally the only reason he was in the news. We're in a really tricky time right now because it's futile to get racists and apologists for racist institutions / de facto racism to even acknowledge that it exists. Very few openly racist people exist, even with all of these Nazis and fascists in the open now, instead the gray area of such rhetoric is exapanding. Many are racist subconsciously or through their ideology, which often looks innocuous on the surface. The whole "anti-PC" ethos often falls in the same category. Ironically the same people who espouse this "say it like it is / anti-snowflake" crap are the most sensitive to any criticism or frank talk calling them out.

auxien Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The "truth isn't truth" thing from Giuliani this morning was pretty pathetic. He was really trying hard with his shit about 'well when you've got Comey saying one thing, vs Trump saying another, where's the truth!' but he has to know how fucking stupid he sounds...he has to realize how full of shit Trump is and how almost anyone with a brain hears that argument and laughs in his face, right? Maybe the distortion field around Trump works on him too, I dunno. Or maybe he's just that shitty at his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll end up more polluted and more behind via plans like this. Pretty good breakdown at how much of a misstep this is from a former EPA head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxien Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 ^yeah, does detail out things a bit, makes it seem to make even less sense as to why they changed the way things were. Can only assume there's people to profit from the changes. So, Cohen is flipping today. Supposedly included will be campaign finance violations of some sort. Media is pissing themselves as to what the details of that end up being and what else related (e.g. Trump-related illegal activities of course). I'm not sure when we'll actually know what's said, what details will come out, etc. I'm certainly curious though, if there's anyone who has proof of Trump doing shit he shouldn't, it's probably Cohen.
