I know it is a gang but I have never heard of them doing anything. I am sure they are really bad but they also seem quite small. Like why not use the Latin Kings or something? Gangs with an actual large presence. Just seems so weird to pick this one random small gang that no one has really heard of. |

If you talked to Fox News watchers, they're a huge threat with "murderers and rapists" (I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's quote was probably "inspired" by Fox's coverage of them) and they don't get why don't get this. SI

I worked with a few dudes who claimed MS-13 when I was a cook. That was in like 1995. I got the impression they are more of a concern in the NE in recent years.
I think they're currently serving as the brown version of Antifa....they do exist and they are remarkably violent buttholes, they just don't operate in anything close to the capacity that they do in the old rich people's nightmares. I am also reminded of the hype around the Jamaican 'Posses' of the '80s.

Did Trump really say low income housing is coming to the suburbs and Corey Booker will be in charge of it?
That alone should be a disqualifier for most rational people |

Cohen had pics from the Falwell thing and used them to get the endorsement for the evangelicals? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nyt...cohen.amp.html

Quickest way to get rid of assholes on your Facebook is to post something about Tom Hanks. Anyone who says something about non-extradition is worth booting. Any of the people who reference “save our children” gotta go too.

I didn't watch, but it seems to be a twitter consensus that Trump jr. and girlfriend were coked out of their head when they gave their speeches.

The only place I've ever heard/seen MS-13 mentioned is Fox News. Which fits nicely with their argument that the MSM is hiding info from us. They win both ways.
And yeah the "blacks are coming to the suburbs to destroy your property values" was a Trump comment a couple weeks ago, coupled with his assumpton that every wife in the suburbs is a housewife.

I think that Don Jr. is under a lot of stress. Don Sr. has 70+ years of getting away with everything, so he does not fear any consequences for anything no matter what happens. In 6 months, or 4 years, or 12 years, he will go off to the cable TV/talk radio circuit and spend his days talking about how he's the greatest President we ever had.
Don Jr. knows how much illegal stuff he and his family has done. And I think he sees a world where it comes to light and things don't end so well for him. I think that his fears are overblown. If the Dems never get back into power, he has nothing to fear. If they do, they are going to be so interested in "healing" and "normalcy" that they will extend the umbrella of not-going-after-political-rivals to the whole Trump clan. But Don Jr. believes all his bluster and spittle about the Dems being evil and corrupt, so he's probably legit afraid of them. |

Question,
Does the Trump brand have a future after Donald's dead? I think Ivanka will be able to continue her business, but I don't know about the Trump brand.

You are probably right. Nothing will destroy any possibility of healing (which seems to be a far-fetched idea to begin with, honestly) like Trump getting what he deserves while 40% of the country believes "the other side" got away with their crimes. But I'd like to think the real healing would be everyone pitching the Trumps into a ditch, them getting everything they deserve, and we all move on as if the past 4-5 years were our "blackout drunk" phase.

So is the board at Liberty trying to overthrow Falwell Jr. to silence him from telling the truth?

Out of the many things that Trump has broken, I think that science might be the one that makes me the most sad. For the rest of my life, when someone tries to argue that eating bleach-soaked nickles cures infections better than antibiotics (or whatever Gwyneth Paltro shit they read last week on the internet) , they will be able to point to this whole era to say that science is corrupted and politically motivated, so they reject my attempts to use science to convince them and they will have a point Last edited by albionmoonlight : 08-25-2020 at 09:29 AM. |

You know though, like we always have said, 'there's a tweet for everything', after trump, and his about face on so many different topics, there will always be a situation where you'll be able to point to something he said or did to refute an argument, and the response will be, 'that doesn't matter.'

all good points to me, that means it's a jarring question... enough so that plenty of people are shaken from their predisposition (and yes, that's contrary to my rant, to a degree)... it feels kinda like an approve/disapprove question, but it's sharper-pointed... so even some of the Rs take a walk, I guess (more than just neverTrump Rs) and i suppose it splits true independents based on a variety of things |

Anyone notice Lindsey Graham has laid really low lately? He's realllll quiet. Not part of the RNC despite being one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders in the Senate. I wonder if McConnell ordered him to basically in the lead up to his election since he's getting a legit challenge from Jaime Harrison....

I have been thinking today (I know, I really shouldn't). The RNC last night seemed to be focused on the idea that the Dems have "enslaved" the AA vote. They are selling that Biden is this huge racist (and of course, Trump is not), and the Democrats want all Black people to be in bondage to the government. What I can't get is how they think that is going to work. Biden was the candidate that was selected BY the AA vote. He won the nomination because they overwhelmingly voted for him. So, the GOP suggestion here is that AA's must be so dumb that there hand-picked candidate is racist? That's a winning strategy? |

I'm going to guess no one in the white house wants to tell Trump about last night's ratings.
Total viewership was down 25% from 2016 and 15% lower than the opening night of the DNC. Last edited by Atocep : 08-25-2020 at 04:50 PM. |

Things are just weird right now. People don't have time or energy for party infomercials. I do think that the debates will not lose much ratings juice from 4 years ago. Lots of people going to tune in hoping that the other team's guy does something stupid/senile. |

I'm still amazed that something that started out as shitposting on 4Chan blossomed into a full blown conspiracy theory.

The female Nazi got bumped. The woman that says that women shouldn't be allowed to vote is still on though.
