bloomberg doesn't rank particularly high on the anti-trump media scale last I checked

2018-02-23 05:15:55 UTC

if anything they'be been more "fak u, economy's good now" lately

2018-02-23 10:27:53 UTC

I didn't really see any nefarious agenda in that article, just breaking down the dollars

Fucking hell, is that real?

2018-02-23 20:05:27 UTC

Not sure tbh
Wooouuuuullllllldn't surpiiiiiiiiiise me though

2018-02-23 20:06:18 UTC

If I could suffer through that townhall again I could try to confirm

2018-02-23 20:12:43 UTC

Sadly, the one guy that could have unmasked them just chickened out. He should have played along, then shown the scripted questions in front of everyone.

2018-02-23 20:13:09 UTC

you talking about the ROTC guy?

2018-02-23 20:13:12 UTC

I was thinking the same thing

2018-02-23 20:13:17 UTC

Be like 'yeah, sure!'

2018-02-23 20:13:28 UTC

then when you have the mic just ask what you wanted anyway

Allegedly the police have been politically structured in Broward county for some time in order to lower arrest rates by excusing escalating levels of crime

2018-02-23 20:54:40 UTC

yeah, I posted about that on the reddit

2018-02-23 20:54:49 UTC

someone else basically cliffnoted it on the JBP server

2018-02-23 20:55:14 UTC

`> police in miami dade stopped prosecuting students to lower the arrest rates starting 2011ish
>starting 2013 broward county follows miami dade policies
>they'd list stolen property recovered as found property
>weed would just get thrown into police storage, stolen property etc
>reported as found property. couldn't be released to victims in some cases because that would make the items recovered evidence of a crime which the police were not reporting as a crime think: slap on the wrist`

2018-02-23 20:55:22 UTC

`>the IA investigation came about because someone leaked to the media that martin was a juvenile delenquint and there wasn't any cases just a record of falsified police reports (found property instead of stolen property for example). this is a bit unclear to me, in the affidavits it seems the police chief hurley tried to pin a bunch of shit on his General Investigative Unit (GIU) officers making it seem they had violated laws about evidence handling and protocols for evidence sharing etc to paint a picture of them leaking etc but it backfired because they all followed their interviews with statements to the effect of -- hurley was a vindictive prick and had been running this scheme to reduce crime rates in the miami-dade school system by legal loopholes about found evidence etc.
>so the detectives, their major, and the sergeant complained and the chief (from stanford where trayvon was from) tried to get them fired or some disciplined or some shti
>but in the IA investigation it came up that the department was in violation of SOPs for evidence handling and there are tons of cases of basically a slap on the wrist for actual crimes and it's revealed that this is all happening because of policies relating to the goal of reducing crime statistics in the miami-dade area to secure more federal school funding
>this related to broward because broward began implementing this in 2013 and the ripple effect from this hits in 2018
>police aren't reporting death threats this kid made to students, his online threats, etc because to do so would add to the statistics for juvenile crime, be tied to the school and lead to reduced funding.
>kid takes a rifle to school and kills a bunch of kids.`

2018-02-24 09:55:06 UTC

>Not sure tbh

why the hell would the camera be zoomed that far in

2018-02-24 09:55:14 UTC
2018-02-24 13:05:07 UTC

Great speech. A bit cringe when he got off script, but still great.

2018-02-24 13:25:28 UTC

He threw some good jabs at Milo.

2018-02-24 15:44:04 UTC

@zahlman The camera isn't zoomed in, someone has just taken the still image from a hi-res video and zoomed in on *that*

2018-02-24 17:25:09 UTC

that's what I figured at first, except a) just how hi-res of a feed does cnn provide? b) it doesn't seem congruent with the on-screen graphics; it looks like someone pointed a camera at a tv set

2018-02-24 18:29:35 UTC

I'd expect CNN to provide reasonably hi-res feeds, but at the end of the day (like I said above) I'd have to rewatch the 'townhall' to confirm it myself, and honestly cbf doing that. If someone else wants to do so, by all means knock yourself out, see if it really is legit or not

2018-02-24 19:57:07 UTC

dis guy.

2018-02-24 19:57:10 UTC

dis fuckin' guy.

So The bronx is worse now? <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

2018-02-24 20:10:24 UTC

oh shit

2018-02-24 20:11:02 UTC

I wasn't expecting it to be "look how bad capitalism can get, I can cherrypick too", I thought it was going to be "I'm delusional and I think I found an actually working version of socialism in 80s america"

2018-02-24 20:11:18 UTC

apparently I need more caffeine

2018-02-24 20:12:00 UTC

I just find it fascinating how he basically flipped the script on how NY played out in the late 70s/early 80s

2018-02-24 20:17:50 UTC

Isn't NYC the only city where you have to pay city taxes in addition to state and federal taxes? Those fuckers can run all sorts of terrible social experiments.

2018-02-24 20:23:08 UTC

OP seems like a shit troll, imma just countertroll tbh

2018-02-24 20:26:28 UTC

actually OP's overall posting history is... weird, politically speaking

2018-02-24 20:26:31 UTC

idk how to pin it really

2018-02-24 20:50:01 UTC

He's posted before

2018-02-24 20:50:08 UTC

defending the virtues of communism and socialism

2018-02-24 20:50:43 UTC

One time I made a quick (and easy) joke about how the labour camps solved the housing problem

2018-02-24 20:50:58 UTC

and he was like THERE HAVE BEEN NO LABOUR CAMPS IN THE SOVIET UNION SINCE THE 1950S EDUCATE YOURSELF

2018-02-24 20:51:00 UTC

and it's like

2018-02-24 20:51:26 UTC

dude, where did anyone in this entire reddit specify which nation we were talking about? You're arguing against something noone even claimed

2018-02-24 20:51:35 UTC

also, isn't the soviet union 'not real communism' anyway?

2018-02-24 20:51:45 UTC

I was leaning towards North Korea at the time

2018-02-24 20:51:52 UTC

But perhaps that's not real communism either

2018-02-24 21:29:33 UTC

kek

2018-02-24 21:38:13 UTC

What do you people think of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance thing which is going on? There was a streamer i saw just now who casually called the games creator white supremacist.

2018-02-24 21:41:28 UTC

It's retarded nonsense, spread by games "journalists", the lowest rung on the latter of an already tarnished profession. They're mostly Americans who know nothing about medieval Bohemia, let alone current Bohemia. They only care about spreading their idiotic, racist agenda.

2018-02-24 21:41:32 UTC

It's a glorious salt mine.

2018-02-24 21:42:02 UTC

That streamer is probably just parroting what he's read by these journalists.

2018-02-24 21:42:29 UTC

What a shame for them that Slavs dont care about this PC nonsense

2018-02-24 21:42:42 UTC

and that the game is selling well

2018-02-24 21:42:55 UTC

over a million sold

2018-02-24 21:43:11 UTC

Shit like this is going to give a second term to Trump.

2018-02-24 21:43:24 UTC

Could be, he statedt hat the area was on the Silk Road and thus there would likely have been more diverse people around. Also mentioned that the creator apparently liked white supremacist things on twitter and thus well. Obviously he is one.

2018-02-24 21:43:48 UTC

Still too early to say it about Trump

2018-02-24 21:43:57 UTC

Poisoning the well much?

2018-02-24 21:44:14 UTC

Sad though, his lets play on the game was quite good and now it is a bit painful to keep watching it.

2018-02-24 21:44:14 UTC

I wouldn't trust him to be able to point out what is, and isn't "white supremacist" in nature.

2018-02-24 21:44:26 UTC

What white supremacist thing did he like?

2018-02-24 21:44:38 UTC

The silk road went defunkt after the mongols ransact it

2018-02-24 21:45:22 UTC

shh, mongols did nothing wrong

2018-02-24 21:45:22 UTC

Could be, i am no history buff, i just know a thing or two.

2018-02-24 21:46:23 UTC

I bet next Dynasty Warriors will also be a target, for lacking "diversity" in ancient China.

2018-02-24 21:46:57 UTC

vavra, afaict, has perfectly ordinary politics relative to his country

2018-02-24 21:47:09 UTC

"Where are the BLACK Chinese generals? We KNOW China was always full of black people."

2018-02-24 21:47:12 UTC

@Omsomething
Which streamer said that?

2018-02-24 21:48:08 UTC

Moment i will PM it to you, not sure how the server rules go with naming people.

2018-02-24 21:50:42 UTC

This server doesnt have many rules

2018-02-24 21:51:17 UTC

We link youtubers pretty often. Linking a streamer shouldn't be that different.

2018-02-24 21:51:48 UTC

Well, could be but the .agree on server rules bot surely makes people who join on their toes for a bit at the least.

2018-02-24 21:52:08 UTC

It underlines that there might be quite a lot of rules with severe enforcement.

2018-02-24 21:52:11 UTC

Public figure and all that. You're not giving up their name and address I assume.

2018-02-24 21:52:17 UTC

Hahahahahahahaha

2018-02-24 21:52:38 UTC

We got riaded many times

2018-02-24 21:52:49 UTC

And they werent banned

2018-02-24 21:53:19 UTC

The .agree is to weed out people who dont put any effort into reading

2018-02-24 21:53:21 UTC

mods here rarely do anything, unless it's commenting in <#377519392956874752> <:LUL:372856126007410689>

2018-02-24 21:55:11 UTC

Hah also apparently there are now comments which are being removed from the video.

2018-02-24 21:55:21 UTC

They take your color away for that, man. Not funny.

2018-02-24 21:56:09 UTC

_resists the obvious color related troll._

2018-02-24 22:20:58 UTC

Six minutes in and he's verbally murdering the Sheriff's office

2018-02-25 16:48:55 UTC

Ben just did Maths on TV weeow

2018-02-25 17:08:05 UTC

heh

2018-02-25 17:08:31 UTC

I think he was talking about that asinine tweet where someone was bitching about rifles firing bullets at the speed of 2000mph

2018-02-25 17:08:35 UTC

because it makes it sound fast

2018-02-25 17:09:32 UTC

not saying it's not fast, but 2000mph makes it sound phwwwwwoooooooahhhhhh fast

2018-02-25 17:09:51 UTC

it's, like, 900m/s

2018-02-25 17:10:19 UTC

which is around the same as most mid-length barrel 75mm cannons from the second world war

2018-02-25 17:14:28 UTC

So fast not even Neo can dodge the bullets.

Don't name the shoooter but name the cucks that hid outside. Put their faces on the TV

2018-02-25 17:50:49 UTC

@Reaps It wasn't just a tweet, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell said it on air

2018-02-26 03:24:07 UTC

It sucks for trans people to have their reputation dragged through the mud. But nobody other than them have to call out the crazies. Same with women. We men will just sit this one out and let the feminists ruin it for the reasonable but lazy women.

>Economic progressivism that demands recognition of unions and the like might cost you real money, so forget about it. It's way, way easier to put up rainbow flags on the noticeboards at work and send around emails going "Yay, Pride Month! Go us!" than it is to committing to "no zero hours contracts, treat our part-time and casual staff fairly, mean it when we talk about work-life balance so people aren't afraid they'll lose their job if they call in sick more than two days a year, when hiring contract workers make sure the firm is not a shithole" and so on.

Can anyone see anything WRONG with this image?

2018-02-26 09:14:11 UTC

Why is there a container full of cockroaches going to the community?

Well the Cycle all starts with Urine

It also assumes that the entire Population of the city is Veggie

2018-02-26 09:16:42 UTC

Oh, I don't see an arrow there, didn't think it was part of it.

2018-02-26 09:18:05 UTC

Why eat meat, when you can eat veggies and complement your diet with supplements so you don't get sick?

It assumes the city is twice as big as it is and half eat Veg and half eat meat

2018-02-26 09:20:41 UTC

We've seen the chaos of a brief shortage of fried chicken, can imagine the carnage that would be taking meat out of 450000 citizens?

I'd call the Police

I've got this conspiracy theory that the KFC shortage thing was a social experiment to see who wanted fried chicken so much they would learn to cook it themselves. Instead people called the police.

2018-02-26 09:25:58 UTC

Can you even imagine the money wasted? Because all the chicken that was supposed to be served for a week, just spoiled away. So it wasn't that they just didn't make money and had to pay everyone's salary anyway. They lost quite a bit of money. Has the CEO, or any top executive been fired yet?

Nope he saved the loss by eating all the Chicken

2018-02-26 14:30:17 UTC

Did you forget about this glorious masterpiece?

2018-02-26 14:34:15 UTC

Oh boy, I remember that. I knew nothing about Islam back then.

2018-02-26 14:38:11 UTC

Yeah me neither. Now I watch it and it's absolute gold. I want to see an MDE remix.

2018-02-26 14:43:33 UTC

Crazy to think this came out painting Muslims as violent and low and behold they chimp out because of it, killing a US ambassador, USFS officer, two CIA contractors and others, ๐Ÿค”

2018-02-26 14:43:52 UTC

Those were peaceful killings, though.

2018-02-26 14:44:27 UTC

Ah yes, the peaceful application of RPGs and anti-aircraft machineguns.

2018-02-26 14:44:38 UTC

As mandated by the Quran

2018-02-26 14:48:25 UTC

I found out though, that apparently the guy who made the film got arrested for some mysterious probation violation after I guess he attempted to take out cards under false identities.

2018-02-26 14:49:21 UTC

They held him in a federal detention center, either because he would be in danger somewhere else or because the CIA doesn't like him >.>

2018-02-26 14:49:30 UTC

Nah, it didn't cause Benghazi, the CIA just tried to shift blame.

2018-02-26 14:50:33 UTC

You're saying it was the CIA's negligence/fault?

2018-02-26 14:51:09 UTC

>Subsequent investigations showed that the attack was premeditated โ€“ although rioters and looters not originally part of the group may have joined in after the attacks began.

2018-02-26 14:53:11 UTC

It happened on September 11. Geez, I WONDER WHY THEY PLANNED AN ATTACK THAT DAY?

2018-02-26 14:53:53 UTC

Nonetheless, those extraneous rioters who joined the attack were provoked by the film.

2018-02-26 14:54:00 UTC

>Testimony from top U.S. commanders after the attack revealed that the military was unprepared for conflict across Africa and the Middle East. No attack aircraft had been placed on high alert on September 11, the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in 2001, and the closest fighter planes to trouble spots in North Africa were based in Aviano, Italy. The fighter planes based in Aviano were unarmed and no aerial refueling planes were within a 10-hour flight to the base. In addition, no AC-130 gunships were within a 10-hour flight of Libya, and their crews did not reach a staging base in Italy until 19 hours after the attack began.

2018-02-26 14:54:44 UTC

Rioters joined because it was the US embassy and it was in flames.

2018-02-26 14:54:52 UTC

They would have joined even if there was no video.

2018-02-26 14:55:16 UTC

>Armed forces attacked the U.S. consulate during a protest against an anti-Islamist film. Numerous eyewitnesses reported that the attackers said they were reacting to the film Innocence of Muslims.

2018-02-26 14:55:28 UTC

but probably that too

2018-02-26 14:55:48 UTC

>A militant organization known as Ansar al-Shariah told people on the scene that they were upset over the video.

2018-02-26 14:56:06 UTC

So it was probably a planned attack, and the planners used the video to rile more people up and join them.

2018-02-26 14:56:14 UTC

It's certain imams that incite these riots and attacks

2018-02-26 14:56:44 UTC

They waited until Sep 11.

2018-02-26 14:56:57 UTC

It was a planned attack. They would have attacked regardless.

2018-02-26 14:57:05 UTC

they send their indoctrinated followers out to do their dirty work

2018-02-26 14:57:26 UTC

and they have a limitless supply of those

2018-02-26 14:58:15 UTC

Right, it certainly looks like a planned attack, and it also looks like the organizers used the film to energize more people to bolster their numbers.

2018-02-26 14:58:39 UTC

They knew they could garner support by the outrage the film had caused.

2018-02-26 14:59:19 UTC

Video had been produced and was being screened since June that year.

2018-02-26 15:00:26 UTC

That's what they did during the so-called "Muhammed-drawing crisis" in Denmark. How did muslims outside of Denmark catch wind of a cartoon appearing on a single page of a Danish newspaper, and why did the rioting and such happen a long time after it had aired, without incident in Denmark?

2018-02-26 15:00:47 UTC

Here's what I think happened: Hillary and Obama tried to turn it into *their* 9/11, but it backfired with all the evidence of negligence and cover up.

2018-02-26 15:01:11 UTC

Because radical muslim imams here saw it as an opportunity, and took it back "home" to spread their propaganda, and incite violence and rioting.

2018-02-26 15:01:19 UTC

So you mean they wanted to use it to generate support for military actions?

2018-02-26 15:01:34 UTC

and growth of powers?

2018-02-26 15:02:21 UTC

regarding Hillary and Obama's 9/11

2018-02-26 15:04:02 UTC

Possibly, yes.

2018-02-26 17:29:37 UTC

Time for Ben to continue murdering Sheriff Israel

2018-02-26 17:29:47 UTC

hmm, first time Ben is going to bash Israel <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-02-27 16:41:45 UTC

ha

2018-02-27 16:41:56 UTC

pretty sure someone tried to alt-right trap Ben in his last Q&A

2018-02-27 16:43:35 UTC

Tell me that 'preface' (and the question that follows) doesn't sound a w f u l l y similar to a certain train of thought

https://youtu.be/U-Sr6Zd8oSI?t=35m1s

Yeah he rekt that one

2018-02-27 16:49:58 UTC

` I'm not sure how ben actually defused him. Ben starts his speech talking about how it's anti Semitic to boycott Israel yet he claims Israel is not an ethnic state.๏ปฟ`

2018-02-27 16:50:02 UTC

herp derp

2018-02-27 16:50:17 UTC

maybe because people aren't wanting to BDS Israel 'because it's Israel'?

2018-02-27 16:50:40 UTC

I'm sure some people might be, but I have little doubt a huge chunk of them *are* doing it because they fucking hate Jews

2018-02-27 16:51:42 UTC

Usually the same ones whom only embrace, as Ben pointed out, the 'ethnic identify' of Jewishness, whereby you can be as completely areligious as you want without giving up your 'Jewish identify'

2018-02-27 17:02:02 UTC

wouldn't the pertinent "ethnic identity" be israeli, rather than jewish?

2018-02-27 17:07:46 UTC

Eurofags acting like theyre better than us is hilarious

2018-02-27 17:08:36 UTC

The US acting like they know any better is hilarious too

2018-02-27 17:10:11 UTC

I'll gladly argue the merits of arming teachers with anyone

2018-02-27 17:10:41 UTC

As If they dont have enough resposibilities

2018-02-27 17:10:48 UTC

Nobody can say it won't stop shootings, because it obviously will. The reason schools are targeted in the first place is because they are guaranteed to not have any defenses

2018-02-27 17:11:30 UTC

We already have millions of Americans with concealed carry permits even something as simple as letting teachers get carry permits and carry at school would be great

2018-02-27 17:12:04 UTC

The classes you take for concealed carry only take a few hours to do

2018-02-27 17:12:24 UTC

Yea that wont end badly ever

2018-02-27 17:12:33 UTC

How would it end badly?

2018-02-27 17:12:49 UTC

It doesn't end badly everywhere else people have concealed carry permits

2018-02-27 17:13:39 UTC

Open carry would dissuade people more If you are agruing for guns in schools

2018-02-27 17:14:18 UTC

The US is the only nation where this is nececary

2018-02-27 17:14:42 UTC

You dont have a gun problem you have culture problem

Would you give a gun to a CUCK?

2018-02-27 17:19:47 UTC

2018-02-27 17:20:10 UTC

Teachers unions donate to democrats exclusively

2018-02-27 17:51:35 UTC

it's several problems

but it's sooo easy to just blame it on one thing

2018-02-27 18:27:37 UTC

Israel is a democratic state. The only one in the middle east.

2018-02-27 18:27:50 UTC

Even if they were Satan worshipers, we should support them.

The Palestinians even have privileges, like they can claim veteran status without serving in the armed forces.

2018-02-27 18:29:24 UTC

2 years of community service on a Muslim community of your choice, gets you a veteran card with all benefits.

`Teachers unions donate to democrats exclusively`

2018-02-28 11:38:40 UTC

So maybe arming them would be a good idea
Increase the % of dems whom actually know how a fucking firearm works

2018-02-28 11:39:06 UTC

My only criticism of this 'arming teachers' idea is it would presumably make the teacher a priority target for any potential school shooter

2018-02-28 11:40:21 UTC

Setting aside how 'not fun' that would be for the teacher, it also means if the school shooter whacks the teacher then the rest of the people in the room are unarmed. I suppose other armed teachers could respond, but that still wouldn't necessarily help those already facing down the barrel.

Something is still better than nothing though, I guess.

I suppose it might work if the gun lovers were right in thinking that every american just needs a weapon to become solid snake. In reality, there are people trained with firearms who are expected to carry them for their job, and are still scared of having to use them.

which means they are poor candidates for their job

2018-02-28 19:46:58 UTC

probably. so I guess we just require security and police to have at least one shootout before being offered a permanent position.

2018-02-28 19:47:31 UTC

and now we can add teachers to that list, I guess

2018-02-28 20:06:26 UTC

I would love a mandatory shootout instead of a pedagogy degree for teachers here in Germany

2018-02-28 20:06:47 UTC

Less mentally unstable women

2018-02-28 20:19:28 UTC

>less
>not zero
we need a more final solution I feel

Is this Trump doing "4D chess" or what

2018-03-01 11:07:21 UTC

If the Democrats oppose him on this because he's Trump and Trump is literally Hitler

2018-03-01 15:08:07 UTC

It's suspected this could be like the DACA talk last September where he seemed to buddy up with the Democrat leadership and turned around and discredited them

2018-03-01 15:08:35 UTC

But like I said yesterday, he's got heartstrings that run deep for kids. He might be genuine

The key is he extended DACA for 6 months

understand that and you understand the 4D chess

So wot bubble am I?

2018-03-01 20:00:05 UTC

The tea bubble

>a significant spike in communicable diseases that can be traced back to low immunization rates

hadn't considered this, also it will make a lot of heads explode

blue tribe narrative currently seems to be trying to deny that any of the anti-vaxxers were ever blue

> In diverse communities trust drops not only between ethnolinguistic groups but within them.

but y tho

So cus I vax I'm red?

2018-03-01 20:10:07 UTC

idk lol

2018-03-01 20:16:12 UTC

`but y tho`

probably because some within their group are trusting of the 'outgroup', which in turn leaves others within the group questioning whether they can trust *them*

2018-03-01 20:17:01 UTC

yeah that's about all I could come up with

2018-03-01 20:17:17 UTC

though I had it cast more as an explicit political thing

2018-03-01 20:17:37 UTC

(i.e. the US political-tribal framework, which doesn't generalize all that well)

2018-03-04 00:07:33 UTC
