He used to call shit out
he used to be in the field
he used to be *doing* something
Now he just orange man bads at the TV all day
I went into the Capitol building to pray despite not having a pass.
We went to visit a friend of mom's on that evening (I was 8) and turned on the radio before leaving for some reason. All channels were reporting on the story nonstop, and when we got where we were headed, turned out all TV channels were stocked with the very same reporting. I remember wondering what the big deal was, since we got blown up buildings over here often around that time. The building looked way taller than anything I'd seen up to that point.
it's depressing
Happened to a lot of the big TV anchors from the 90s and 00s
I appreciate the anchor desk newsman who reliably reads the news
I appreciate the guys in the field getting the stories
I don't appreciate pundits pretending to be anchors.
The fall of the Berlin Wall was just freaky. It was so surreal we couldn't really celebrate. Same with the fall of the Soviet Union in Aug 1991. It happened as we were migrating to university. The idea that after the cold war it would all end like a candle blowing out was impossible to fathom.
And that's all most of CNN and Fox is nowadays.
That's wild, man
Yeah I never experienced how absolute the USSR must've seemd
Yeah
I've heard that it felt like a titan that would never fade and then
poof, fucking gone m8
That glorious national anthem lives in in memes, though. So we have that.
So we have that.
much of their vaunted strength was lies and exaggerations.
It lives in the new national anthem as well tbh
I remember I was home sick from school when Reagan was shot. That freaked me out since I was home alone and at 11 years old lacked a frame of reference.
I remember a story about some soviet who came to america and was convinced that a grocery store he visited was a setup by the government
because he couldn't fathom so much food available.
That's true
It was a common reaction
That's brutal
I was on vacation when the Challenger exploded. My parents and I cried along with Peter Jennings.
oof.
hey 10th
have you seen the clouds that the spacex rockets create?
it's super pretty https://youtu.be/Ff7wbSwTuEk?t=33
Yeah
I've seen pics
that's the story I was thinking of @Atkins
they're super cool
"we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us"
You know something's wrong with the system of government when one of the heads of your central administrative unit is shocked to see prosperity
Unfortunately, that's what happens when people lack access to alternatives to look at and compare themselves to
Which says a lot about the future of current day political debate that uses echo chambers as its cornerstone in a lot of countries
mem
@King Canuck why is it, that every time spacex launches a rocket in Cali at night, they are always calling it a UFO? Like are people in Cali that stupid? Even the redknecks in Florida are like "UFO? It's been on the schedule for months and it came from the ground not the sky you morons"
Because it looks spooky
I heard a story once about LA people reporting "strange lights in the sky" during a blackout.
They were talking about fucking stars.
might be urban legend though.
I would not be surprised if City slickers didn't know what stars looked like.
Lights are never really off in a city and light pollution sucks
It's a shame, you can see the milkway when there is no light pollution
"You thought I was *MAD*!"
"I showed them! I *showed them all*!"
Goddamn it, I hope the CIA keep an eye on Elon, surely he is up to something
Or knows something we don't
Maybe it's the CIA we should be worried about
Is this their Russian collusion? To keep chicks from telling the public, and through extension his wife, about an affair?
is it because Melania lived under communist USSR? is that what they mean by russian collusion this whole time?
Then he has been colluding quite a bit. Or not if he is having afairs.
The article Tim covered today
โ Palm Beach election supervisor bans cameras from public ballot-counting โ by Lulu Ramadan on The Palm Beach Post
NBC and Fox News sued after election officials illegally banned them from filming the recount. The judge agreed with them and forced them to allow the media back in. What were they hiding?
http://archive.today/Zbkj6
How trust worthy is this news site?
I know the article is more than a year old.
https://joeforamerica.com/2017/05/federal-prosecutor-investigating-voter-fraud-found-dead-debbie-wasserman-schultzs-district/
@4AM_critter ๐ try to find another news outlet that covered it.
I was actually looking into this yesterday. The death of the prosecutor is real and there's some suspicions around it, but the investigation never found anything they could say proved foul play and I never found anything conclusive linking the prosecutor to investigating Schultz.
I used mainstream sources only for this hunt. Not sure I could find them all again, but I'll confirm the prosecutor was shot and the investigation concluded he did it to himself.
I found a Miami Herald article about it from last year, it, but it was updated 9 hours ago
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article158305419.html
The Miami Herald is probably alright. @4AM_critter ๐ it says he had no connection to anything related to the Democrats. Is their evidence to the contrary? Looks like he chased Illegals and did asbestos lawsuits.
Still strange though.
Good grief. I read that yesterday and don't remember most of that last section. Unfortunately NewsDiffs doesn't track this article. I guess the cover is happening as we speak.
Thousands Oaks shooter does his own version of โ fuck the optics Iโm going inโ post on Instagram.
Interestingly the media isnโt trying to de platform Instagram. Really makes you think.

2016 story. Still funny.
โ Math is racist: How data is driving inequality โ by Aimee Rawlins on CNN
The Truth is racist according to CNN. What else is there to say?
http://archive.today/j3mNl
Tim is right, people from both sides should be pissed. Something very fishy is happening.

Oh, look, now Georgia too.
Just close the polls. Democracy isn't for us.
@Bookworm Agreed, let's end this silly democracy now and just accept that God Emperor Trump knows what's best for this country. If we believe the leftists, it'll be just like Nazi Germany. And lemme tell you, that would be glorious. The Nazis were brutally efficient and turned a failing country around into a mega-success of such unprecidented level, that even after the war, the better ideals they created lived on and allowed them to become the defacto leader of the EU today. If we had another leader with that much clout and forward thinking, without the red tape bullshit of his opposition, we'd have colonies on Mars within the next 10 years.
I, for one, am looking forward to signing up for Trump's Space Force. Service guarantees citizenship!
"Chart of the day: In 2017, US had largest decline in CO2 emissions in the world for 9th time this century"
http://archive.is/tF7OQ
CO2 and man made climate change is meme.
CO2 is real. You just exhaled it rn.
>Nazi salute: feeling afraid
>Implementing authoritarian/Nazi like policies: a-okay
Yeah, absolutely.
Hahahahaha they called the police!
The media loves to point out when white people call the police for stupid reasons, wonder if theyโll cover this like that๐
"'Frankly, when you think someone is being too authoritarian there are more effective ways of communicating that point,โ he said, โthan using a โHeil Hitlerโ or Nazi salute, which as we see can be deeply offensive and trivializes the horrors of the Holocaust.โ'
I'd say it worked pretty well. So well you had to silence the oppressor in fear of them having a point.
Thank you, based Mikke.
@Grenade123 Can't read your post :(
Those nice people blocked all of Euroland
A guy at a school meeting threw up a Nazi salute to protest the authoritarian practices being suggested and implemented.
He has been put on leave.
@Stefan Payne can probably thank the EU for that. Basically some school professor took issue with policies that were being proposed. So he held up a Nazi salute as protest/joke. They called campus police and basically make it should like he punched someone.
Ah, so that what the quote in Discord shows...
Its the new Privacy thing that they don't like or won't comply to...

Really Avenatti? That stunt with Kavanaugh wasn't enough. What scum.
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/10/michael-avenatti-tucker-carlson-bar-incident-982944
God damn, their just gonna keep trying to paint him as a monster even with all the Antifa stuff at his house. The far left just dont care do they
So far this is just Avenetti, who is an asshat
Check the comments on the page
Sorry meant that in my original posting
look at this monster and nevermind us setting his car on fire
he said a thing we don't like
...
It will go nowhere
Although it will be interesting to see who aligns in relation to the posturing bill
Why will it go nowhere?
Because hopefully, most politicians realize that banning protests and boycotts is political suicide in America.
Did the communists of Soviet Russia not also kill jews? Or am I misremembering?
Who hasn't killed some Jews, let's be honest.
*raises hand*
unless..
were Zerg jewish?
or the burning legion?
or..any large groups of enemies in Video games
Ahahaha. This whole thing is such a love letter it's actually hilarious. I think this is completely delusional. Anyone else's thoughts?
"
She has decisively to win those Iowa caucus-goers who have never warmed up to her. They will see her now as strong, partisan, left-leaning and all-Democratโthe one with the guts, experience and steely-eyed determination to defeat Mr. Trump. She has had two years to go over what she did wrong and how to take him on again.
Richard Nixon came back from his loss to John F. Kennedy in 1960 and won the presidency in 1968. He will be the model for winning again. Mrs. Clinton won't travel the country in a van with Huma Abedin this time, doing small events and retail politics. Instead she will enter through the front door, mobilizing the army of professional women behind her, leveraging her social networks, and raking in donations. She will hope to emerge as an unstoppable force to undo Mr. Trump, running on the #MeToo movement, universal health care care and gun contorl. Proud and independent, this time she will sideline with Bill and Mr. Obama, limiting their role to fundraising.
The generation of Democrats who have been waiting to take over the party from the Clintons will be fuming that she is back and stealing their show. But they revealed themselves to be bungling amateurs in the Brett Kavanaugh nomination fight, with their laughable Spartacus moments. She will trounce them. Just as Mr. Trump cleared the field, Mrs. Clinton will take down rising Democratic starts like Bowling pins. Mike Bloomberg will support her rather than run, and Joe Biden will never be able to take her on.

Note: the authors of this op-ed are Hillary staffers.
I wonder if Tucker Carlson's son would be protected from charges under the Fighting Words Doctrine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words#United_States
Also note how the original doctrine was inspired by someone being called a "damned fascist ".
That Hillary stuff is bullshit. Dems won't do it. Not when she keeps shooting herself in the foot.
There are definitely Hillary partisans. Millions of them. But not tens of millions. Not nearly enough.
@Schedrevka I wouldn't be surprised. Throwing wine is rather low on the list of things that people care about that qualify as assault (lower than spitting, which people get away with all the time). Southern culture is also more tolerant of fighting words defenses (if this applies in Northern VA, I'm unsure).
Realistically, if it goes to jury, it'll end up being politicized at this point. If I were Carlson or his son, I'd be looking into good appeals lawyers who could try and potentially nullify a hostile jury.
Cat, since when has the lack of democratic support stopped Hillary Clinton?
It didn't in 2016. She'll just use her political blackmail to rig the primary again.
The superdelegates will be less of an issue in 2020
This will make it much harder for the will of the primary/caucus voters to be supplanted by party zeitgeist
Hillary also managed the impossible - losing to Donald Trump
The man reveled in grabbing crotches and still managed to take the rust belt. Her shame should make Michael Dukakis' look like accidentally spilling some coffee on a table.
That'll happen when it's patently obvious that you're way more corrupt than your competitor.
So anyway, most democrats I know don;t want to hear about her ever again
And I'm sure if the DNC cared about the opinion of their constituents, that would be more than enough.
I'm pretty sure Hillary is a goner. She was a goner since 2016. The progressive activists have people higher up the oppression hierarchy that they prefer for policy (Warren or Harris). The centrists have more 'centrist' candidates to pick (Bloomberg, who was elected mayor as a Republican). The majority of the Democratic base seems tired of her. She couldn't fill a classroom on her speaking tours and collected less speaking fees than even milquetoast politicians at universities.
She's well connected, an clearly has fans. But I expect the Democrats will probably dig out some far-leftie minority again (the activists seem to have a thing for "making history") that no one has ever heard of.
I've got a couple guesses of people it might be, but I'd rather not list names lest people get ideas. Let's just say, you probably have heard of this person by now, but never thought of them.
No Oprah.
Michelle Obama has about as much interest in partisan politics as I do
Cortez is the road to Trump's 50 state strategy. *maybe VT and DC might still vote for her*
Bloomberg could be amusing. The Dems run a billionaire dude that use to be a Republican against the Repubs billionaire dude who used to be a Democrat.
Honestly I'd like to see some rust belt or midwest moderate. Who's the gal who just won Kansas? It's a bummer she's so new.
Run Manchin. Brilliant.
"Honestly, I'm kind of sick of everyone's shit and wish you people would calm down and get to work."
Trump: "Seriously, after I win, name a cabinet position, it's yours."
After seeing how Trump treats his cabinet no sane and dignified human being would take that bet.
Manchin also knows he'd never be able to win blue state Dems. He's unique to WV, God bless him.
Why do you think he wants someone else so badly?
Manchin would be hilarious. If him and Trump didn't have politics getting in the way right now, they'd actually probably be good friends.
I don't see Oprah running, it's too dirty for her.
Cortez *can't* run. There's a legal age limit on the presidency that she doesn't match. I was actually concerned she could be the little 2020 surprise, but she can't be.
Bloomberg seems viable to me. But gun control would have to become a centerpiece issue. It actually could. Urban progressives love shitting on "backwards, racist, hick" rural voters.
Yeah, some states allow you to be on the ballet if you will turn the required age by the time of inaguration... many states won't let you on the ballet period.
President is 35. Cortez will be nowhere near that in 2020.
I thought 36
Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Or so the website I pulled this off says. I don't have my pocket constitution near me at the moment.
Ok. Which site?
Ok.
I was working off memory
I actually had to look it up. I remembered it was mid 30s but not exactly what age it was.
what'd happen if trump endorsed all the dems favorites to run against him?
Something funny but inconsequential.
idk, i was thinking if he went all in as a strategy it could deter democrats form voting for them and just vote trump
The thing is that if he endorsed all of them, they'd just ignore it. He might be able to pick off one or two by working with them, but he couldn't hit all of them.
Apparently the WSJ thinks Hillary is going to run in 2020: https://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-will-run-again-1541963599
Everyone with a brain knows Hillary wants to run again
and everyone with a brain knows the DNC will DNcuck to her
The only person who has a real chance against her is Biden and he is afraid if Hillary
OF*
What if in 2020 Trump ran as a democrat?
Heads would explode
@Khanclansith Correction: Heads would implode.
Nuclear implosion explosion
Is an implosion even physically possible?
if you have an area with lack of material, yes.
"we are gonna tear down the wall"
With what?
Concrete vs. your hands??
Concrete probably wins
Tell them to try their faces
Palestinians appear to be firing rockets in large volleys in an attempt to saturate the Israeli C-RAM systems.
and it appears to be working
rockets of peace
they are learning from america
How so?
because our governments idea of bring "peace" is bombing random places and installing dictators.
Ahhhh
Except when we take those dictators out with no replacement plan.
Cough cough Iraq cough
we like to think we know better but do we really know anything besides how to bomb people?
Not really
Not recently at least
Not since Kissinger
We lost our touch with Johnson.
Kissinger at least was a pragmatist
typical Americans. destroy the wall, don't bother figuring out if its load bearing. Then blame someone else when the building falls down
And then it went to shit
Heh
then bomb them for causing the building to fall down
I've seen the iron dome in action many times. It's pretty cool.
Don't think I've ever seen them fire that many before.
"A mortar fired from Gaza directly struck a bus in the southern Israeli regional council of Sha'ar Hanegev, severely wounding a 19-year-old Israeli. The wounded man was evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva, along with the 25-year-old driver, who suffered from shock. "
guess its time for war?
Sadly that is about everyday in Isreal
It happens so often that it's hard to know if it will be war or not.
not at this volume with actual civilians behing hit though?
i thought it was just the odd rocket here and there, sometimes hits empty buildings becausep eople get too shelters in time
Still hard to say for sure.
yeah its hard to say, but i'd wager if the *fireworks* don't let up israel will go all in again.
It's been long overdue for sure.
Usually wars only happen in the summer.
Ny post is semi reliable but definitely right leaning. So take it with a grain of salt.
Alyssa Milano did refuse to attend the women's March due to anti semitism though. So she probably knows better than the media what the other leaders think.
Israel getting hit with rockets is basically a daily occurrence. What is abnormal is the volume and concentration of rocket fire. 100+ rockets and mortars all fired in a short time all at the same rough area was enough to saturate Israeli C-RAM, which is why they actually hit stuff this time.
It just gives israel a reason to go back into palestine
Hamas is in control now and they will escalate the conflict because its in their intrest to do so
The goal is to provke a retaliatory strike which kills civilians. Thus israel becomes more hated internationally plus hamas gains new followers
BREAKING NEWS: Stan Lee has passed on. Too many legends has passed in the past 5 years it's like God is punishing us.
Got there before you lol
95 is pretty good though
๐ซ
He could of gone to 100 if it wasn't for the undue stress of gold digging people
Apparently the largest number of rockets fired in a single day.
Ah, yes, because an organisation revolving around the worship of a middle-eastern asexual isn't intersectional enough
If only there were some sort of system where men and women could choose work together to pool their resources for the betterment of their children. ๐ค

Ukraine has a real gucked up history with the NAZIs
Hey we gave arms to ISIS
why not train Neo Nazis
not going back to Isolationism after WW2 was a mistake.
we trained the Taliban so this isnt entirely surprising
An Ukrainain officer explained it to me like this, "To the Ukrainains the Soviets and the NAZI were just as bad as each other, so they aren't viewed as differently as the Americans do."
United States Foreign Policy Causing Problems for later decades since the early 1900s
The US didn't train the Taliban, we trained the trainers of the Taliban after the Soviet War ended.
