y'all remember a while bac the last time tim was in berkeley and he talked to some local cafe owner, and the cafe owner admitted that he only puts lefty stickers in his window so that the monthly riots ddon't smash it?

I used to live like a mile down the street of that cafe

nice

If I slapped a trump sticker on someone's car they'd probably get murdered

i live in portland, can't wait for the shitstorm coming on saturday

my crazy neighbour at one point threatened to slash _my_ car tires because I didn't vote for bernie

Stay safe

Yikes. Where are you running off to?

note: I am not a US citizen and cannot vote

WTF?

she knew this, didn't seem to thikn it was a big deal, offered to show me how to vote illegally

i'm headed to central oregon

did you inform him of this?

lmao

I don't live in california anymore

uhhh

you shouldve accepted and turned her in

id give you citizenship for that

@soban I'm pretty sure that's a felony.

Did she vote illegally?

@Tohob hope central Oregon is better. I too am fleeing the city soon.

naw she was like this elderly white woman who did way too much acid in the 60s

if she was illegal I'd be surprised

yeah it's only the portland area that's like this. once you get out of the city it's small cities, farmland, and reasonable people

yeah she was not the only person who offered to show me how to vote illegally. It happened with 3 or 4 other people. The frequency with which people suggested it to me, combined with the mundanity of it all (nobody seemed to think it was a big deal and when I pointed out it was a felony one perosn scoffed and said "pfft this is california they don't care"), i'm now pretty convinced it's a widespread issue

I _really_ liked portland when I visited in 2013 so it's a bummer it got so crazy

oregon is basically an extension of idaho up until you reach the mountains

yeah i used to like it here

I live in texas now and everything is great except it's been >100 every day for hte past three weeks

also I miss mountains

damn. we went on vacation to the coast just to get away from the 90 degree weather here for a weekend

i can't survive heat like that lol

Which part of TX?

austin

I thought TX was still sane.

Oh. THAT makes sense.

Austin. Urrrrr...

but out of all the places with healthy tech industries Austin and Denver are prett ymuch the only places I think are viable. Everywhere else is too crazy, too expensive, too urbanized, or some combination

Can confirm, would not advise moving to chicago at the moment

when **would** you advise moving to chicago tbh

Austin and Denver...not coincidentally the places most in danger of turning their states into California 2.

To much consternation of the natives.

As someone who lived in Austin for 5 years.

yeah I'm going to be pretty peeved if I escape california only to have it follow me

Yeah, I'd believe it.

fuck it, I'll go move to montana and be a hermit or something

Just know when you see us Texans griping about the "damn Californians" we're mostly referring to the ones who feel obligated to change the culture and politics.

So probably not you if I'm reading you right.

And this is from a native Texan who lived in Austin just as the Social Justice nonsense was starting.

Lol. My escape strategy is the open Midwest.

I'm from midwest canada

it would be nice to go back but:
-40 winter
programming jobs pay ~ 1/3rd of my current salary
shitty health care
concern over teh direction the country is currently going (although if they can generate enough backlash to replace trudeau without going hard right, this will probably get better)

Yeah, I keep hearing stuff about Doug Ford. Not sure if that's your idea of hard right. But I can see him coming to power in Canada.

I don't know enough about the specifics but based on what I know, doug ford is fine

at worst he will be incompetent but (as far as I know) there's nothing extreme about him

I don't know too much. Except that he's getting the same response from the institutions that Trump gets here.

more like trudon't

I looked into it for all of about 2 minutes but doug ford's entire platform seems to be "I will undo all the things Kathleen Wynne did"

and all I know about Kathleen Wynne is that she pushed SJW stuff in middle schools and she made electricity super expensive with aggressive green mandates

so I'm fine with this

yeah that's a pretty good platform tbh

"un-fuck the country" is usually a solid platform

just ontario, not the country

oh ok so only most of the country

:^)

yep

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/08/02/simpsons-fox-execs-address-shows-future-and-apu-controversy/890780002/

tl;dr Fox executives are washing their hands of it and leaving it to the writing staff.

this is still being talked about???

Apparently. Was the top of my news suggestions from Bing.

FWIW, Bing didn't notice the NYTimes thing hat everyone's been swarming today.

Shows where the priorities are I guess.

The activists are relentless.

For Ontario: the options were either Doug Ford or the socialists

Ontario voted correctly

In BC it's neolibs or the ones who got rid of mental health care despite being the leftmost party of the big 3

Yeah, they really fucked up that Kinder Morgan pipeline project

Trudeau buying an abandoned pipeline might be the highlight of his admin from an entertainment standpoint

>BC govt doesn't want it, BC hippies don't want it
>Trudeau forced to side with AB
>lefties absolutely furious
>this project will only lose money

Gotta hand it to Trudeau, he'll always find a new and innovative way to burn taxpayer moneys

speaking of,
https://globalnews.ca/news/4368410/ottawa-spent-270m-on-border-crossers-in-under-2-years-pbo/

lol at using military resources to bring invaders in

>military
>bring in
Wot

They're just showing up here en masse

And clogging the system lol

Trudeau is SIEZING MEANS though, how are the leftists not happy lol

if he wasnt going to just turn around and sell it we could get some of that venezuela money before a venezuela style collapse :^)

@missdanger You're going to have to fill me in on that slightly, because I may have missed this one.

Did the US decrease our contribution to the UN?

yeah

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/26/us-to-make-at-least-285m-cut-to-un-budget-after-vote-on-jerusalem

the cut happen last december

the UN is feeling the squeeze

Right...

USA has always been the primary donor the UN

Mmmhmm

less so now

Paying for a stage for people to talk about how much they hate us.

Okay, I know Nicki Haley was threatening reductions. I wasn't sure if there was followthrough.

ooooh no they actually have to put effort into maintaining themselves now kek

I remember Nikki's speech after the whole incident

It was really cool to be honest

Finally recognizing the leverage they have on the UN

I think Nikki Haley is *the only* current Republican who could hold together the party if Trump were to leave for some reason.

She knows how and when to throw fire.

She can throw FIRE?!

o: Man's Red Fire?!

She can throw a lil fire my way.. I'd near volunteer for a slight burning sensation from that fox

Nikki Haley is awesome. I think she could make a push for Republican candidate after Trumps 2nd term

Imagine how triggered people would be if Nikki was the first female president.

Leftists would oppose it and we could call them misogynists.

It's almost as if you need to put forward a good candidate and their gender is irrelevant

🤔

Wasnt she the youngest in that post? Or was that sarah Sanders

@pratel disney will shit all over the simpsons , they will kill comedy with “sjw comedy”

WHAT?! http://dlisted.com/2018/08/02/blake-griffin-has-to-pay-258000-a-month-in-child-support/

there is so much wtf in this

first: montly salary of 2.2 million

second: monthly child support of 258,000

there needs to be a law putting a cap on child support

that is more in one month than the average cost to raise a child to 18.

more in 1 month that 18 freaking years requires.

that is not "child support", that is "gold digging ho" support

I bet 'she' don't have a job and does have a better car than I ever will

Probably wouldn't have happened if he won PMT's "Blake of the Year"

@Grenade123 might be cheaper for him to off the women

@Rabbi Shekels Idk how much 21st century FOX will become like ABC/Freeform and beyond that 20th century FOX

I assume they want to keep the name, and like their plan with ABC family becoming Freeform will keep the content distanced from the Disney/Family image

@ExceptionalFeather if they allow them to operate as is then nothing will change , i doubt it though but then again idk wtf disney plans

pretty sure Disney is just trying to consolidate their IPs

Fox had a few rights for the moves of a couple of marvel IPs

x-men and deadpool chief among them.

Disney wants to make money, having something separate would think would be in their best interest

I think they will use FOX name to keep Deadpool going without the negative feedback for it being a Disney movie

probably

will likely consolidate many of the divisions within FOX and move around a lot people that work between FOX and Disney studios

Shows that lean conservative instead of having risk of putting them on freeform/abc will be put on FOX

Is this where we could post links to news stories?

I have one from June, not exactly SUPER new, but it's interesting nonetheless.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-and-jane-sanders-under-fbi-investigation-for-bank-fraud-hire-lawyers/

"Sen. Sanders, formerly mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, regards the claims as a political game levied against him after his run for president in the 2016 primary election..."
Still caught up on the election?

Hopefully there was nothing illegal going on, but knowing how politicians work this seems to be a real problem

wouldn't that be a hoot

Honest Bernie, a fraud

I'd be *shocked*

BigKappa

so would i actually

Wouldn't it be ironic if he was actually rich as hell?

he's richer than me

Same

by definition he's in the top 1%, even higher than that

so he's a hippo

makes it funny to go back and listen to him talk about how bad the 1% is, he's bashing himself

I wonder if he likes to be slapped in bed and called a bad boy

It's come to a point in my life where I'm not able to believe anything people say until they can back it up with some solid, solid proof

I used to have some decent trust in people, even too much at some points, but that's been dashed.

congratulations, you're an adult now 😛

LOL true facts

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/political-correctness-free-speech-liberal-data-georgetown

vox: "there is not a free speech crisis because liberals are getting fired too and more often. Also the spike in speakers being uninvited doesn't count because half of the doubled numbers was Milo"

Wtf is this @Timcast https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/08/03/qanon-trump-rally-supporters-tuchman-dnt-ac-vpx.cnn

Ive never heard of q anon lol wtf is this . Im sooooo intrigued

Wouldnt the counter for the vox article to point out the desparity in conservative vs liberal professors

SHH

RACIST

@AnthonyLaCosaNostra it's 4chan being 4chan

@Blackhawk342 well and the fact that lib professors being fired for political speech IS STILL A FREE SPEECH PROBLEM

4chan is queer.... q.... anon.... i get it lol

Yeah imma pass on the q anon being a thing. I think its a clever troll

Its pretty queer tho. I love that the word queer came back. Since reading lotr as a kid ive always used it.

I like how in the article they equate disruption of free speech to free speech

Political Correctness shuts down normal left wing/"Liberal" political positions not just "Conservative"

I don't know much about qanon but if I wanted to know anything about it, it would be 'How did regular 4chan larp got so much attention ?'

its funny i pretty much dont even read or watch MSM anymore

To much bias bs

Yeah was gonna say as well @Lagomaster24 Evergreen was lefty vs lefty

yep

Oh do the Weinstein's have any books?

I got Pinker's book recently

and Zach Woods

Which one?

Enlightenment Now

havent started reading it yet

got Rules for Radicals too lol

Rules is kinda boring tbh

also I recommend "The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics" its a criticism of liberals banking on Identity Politics among other failings

Has a couple of excellent anecdotes though

yea i mostly got Rules for quick references if anything

Hadn't heard of that one, but my next political read will probably be either The Trial of Henry Kissinger or Liberal Fascism

Its by Mark Lilla

Its short so should not take much time

I listened to Zach's book shortly after he came on Tims podcast, and bought a physical recently

@Beemannoh shit I didn't know you were here too

aye

https://youtu.be/8tIsoEMNjSg Interesting perspective on 'less than lethal' use of force.

Great content creator right there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apx3Uoah2DQ So this song got the band banned froma music festival.

What happened to the live feed?

Beanterference

apparently grey beanie works better as antenna than the teal one

back up?

Apparently someone took a shot at Muduro in Venisuela
As far as I heard, I think they also tried to use a pair of bombs

unverified, but two people from Venuiela in my community have mentioned it

One of the bombs was a Drone carried bomb?!?

These FBI documents concerning Steele were obtained via a FOIA request, are mostly redacted. However a few things are confirmed here. Steele was paid by the FBI for his contributions, but was let go after being “ verbal admonished ” for leaking information to the press. The FBI terminated their relationship with Steele on Nov 1 2016 deeming him untrustworthy. This is important because his Dossier and articles using it, or him, as a source were still used for months afterward to renew a FISA warrant for Surveillance on Trump. Even after they knew Steele was shady.

Damn

Black Lives MAGA

black lives make america great again?

Black lives making america great again

yes

fake news

Black Lives MAGA prolly one of the best things to come out of Portland

So its been rather peaceful?

Tim was at war with video quality, that was about it

Lukes stream was like 100 million times better video

not necessarily peaceful

but no major violent confrontations between the two groups

Cause of the police presence?

I cant confirm but I heard of antifa trying to start shit.

ya police did a good job

Antifa was throwing shit at cops

Wait, shit as in objects or shit as in....

Oh a porta potty got knocked over

No news on trash cans though

Whats with antifa and kicking over trash cans. Those things are just as full of shit as they are.

Those trash cans are instruments of Jewish exploitation, do not trust them

I'd say trash cans don't fight back like patriots... but I'm pretty sure a trash can wooped antifa ass long before a patriot

One trashcan can take on a group of antifa easily.

apparently the larpers won , 🙏 for 🛢

there is no trashcan emoju

#thoughtsandprayers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy6spOAbxhg

So in the end its 1-1 for the Trashcans

@Timcast https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1026125642973290497 this may be a good addition to the Jeong story, if you wanna keep with that.

Here's at least one of the tweets PJW is talking about: https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1025775330634522625

https://twitter.com/BreakingNLive/status/1026108272217083904

@King Canuck that's funny as fuck

XD heres some cancer for everyone

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/3/17644704/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-tweets-backlash-racism

How vox is trying to play on how the nyt hiring and not firing jeong is because theyre fighting the alt right outrage mobs..... Lol give me a fucking break if i called #metoo an outrage mob id be lynched

don't forget she was just "counter-trolling"

just a meme

nyt is a meme

XD counter trolling isnt a thing its still trolling

Too bad nyt didnt get the memo and are continuing to propagate propaganda about made up bullshit

thus digging themselves into a deeper hole

its just better just to not respond to it at all

I just hate that if i say anything to my friend that posted that on FB ill jus look as if im defending the alt right

**NO MEDIA CORPORATION SAID EVER**

"major bullying tactic of the alt-right."

ummmm, i'm sorry, which side used that tactic?

i'm disappointed they don't have a comments section

When it would be to point out that i as someone whos far far away from the alt right doesnt like it
