In unrelated news, did anyone watch The Night Shift finale last night? It had *the violent left* shooting up a college graduation ceremony because they didn't like the conservative guest speaker, oh and the lefties also infiltrated the police.
Yeah, so that stupid narrative is spreading.

Well Mr. One Week Poster you seem to want this thread to be hot loving garbage so I can't say I'm remotely surprised to hear that.

Alright how about this. I'm gonna go away for 2-3 hours, I'll come back and we'll see if this thread has gotten anywhere even close to back on track and not just other people making GBS threads on other people just because. I'm more than happy to do this and lets see what happens okay. My guess is you just start attacking another poster and talk about anything but Donald Trump, his administration and tweets but I truly hope I'm wrong.

I suggest trying this kind of lecturing on people in real life and seeing how much respect you get.

I have on several occasions literally not seen race. I didn't know that my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend was black, despite seeing pictures of him for two and a half years on Facebook.

I finally learned he was black because it was mentioned in a GBS thread, and then I was like "Oh, okay, I guess that means a lot of things make sense"

But you assumed they were white because that's the default in ambiguous situations right? Or are you trying to say that sometimes race isn't determinable just through a photo?

I guess I thought briefly that he was probably of something other than Scandinavian origin, but I didn't really think about it. He was really handsome and unique looking, but I didn't connect it with a definite racial group. But then once it was mentioned in GBS (he was a goon), I realized why I had read some posts from him where he got really mad at racists.

Seasons one and two of Grey's we're legitimately good TV, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Shonda Rhimes is my loving idol. I want to be her when I grow up. But that's probably a conversation for Misogynoir :shobon:

I am still unaware of whether a lot of people around me are, in United States terms, black. Especially people from Venezuela or Colombia.

Like, to me, the racial thing is kind of less important than the linguistic thing.

I also find myself nodding at Haitians because we are both immigrants, but they don't know I am an immigrant, so they are probably just wondering why this (presumably Spanish speaking) Chileno is kind of looking at them.

I don't know what crime has been committed, unless Pence has been questioned by the FBI about the Obstruction of Justice matter.
If he did, and lied, then it would be possible, but it would be really hard to prove.

But all this is, apparently, is him being in a meeting where a letter was written.

I think Pence will go down, politically if not legally, but for totally different things.

That's still a fact in the heads of a large minority of the country and the fact that you guys think saying "wasn't related doesn't count" means anything to the general public's perception of the issue is a tactical problem.

It would make him a co-conspirator to obstruct justice. Now if Trump and Pence both go down, and the Freedom Caucus unseats Ryan in the meantime, we'll be looking at President Orrin Hatch, the current President Pro Tem of the Senate. :monocle:

Yeah it's pretty silly wrt the wack rear end situations they get into and how the main cowboy somehow kept his job, licence and life . Very unrealistic but it's fun brain mush that's fairly upbeat for when you need some fiction to distract the mind.
Lately I've started watching MASH and some of the episodes hit home hard.

My rule of thumb is that if people react unexpectedly to a post you gotta google what you might have missed on a cultural or offensive level and quickly apologise or delete if you messed up.
Ignorance isn't really an excuse if you keep doubling down without self examination.

e: like yeah this thread is super hair trigger because Trump's America is stressful as hell and if you're posting in this thread it's more or less universally not because you're good at dealing with that stress in a constructive manner out of doors, so we all deal with it by obsessively following politics, as though we can collectively atone for the sins of our fellows who failed to be informed last election, and by jumping on everything, all the time.
