TFR’s prime “no politics allowed“ zone realized AOC existed and had to freak out about a marginal 70% tax rate for just a bit this morning.

Fortunately, no chuds were inconvenienced.

Mainstream media is used to presenting both sides of the argument and Paul Ryan's horseshit is what passed for smart analysis. Republicans would parrot those lines, get told how smart and reasonable they were, and the Democrat would get kerfuffled and that would be that. No need for better lines, no need for introspection.

Enter AOC, telling everyone involved how stupid and dumb they are. Republicans re-parrot their usual lines, suddenly find out that AOC calls them right back out, then Republicans get mad because THAT IS NOT THE WAY THE GAME IS PLAYED AND WHO IS THIS LATINA UPPITY BITCH ANYWAYS?

It's absurd how often, as the offense lines up, that he'll say "Ok, now they're going to do X" and then they snap the ball and do X.

Give this man MNF and fire all three of the morons doing it now (protip idiot in your own little booth because you annoy the other guys so much: if you need a shield to keep the fans from throwing poo poo at you, you suck) and everyone responsible for ruining it.

I said this in the discord but the Netflix one is produced in part by Jerry Media as an attempt to rehabilitate their involvement, and leaves out the entire second class action suit that names them as defendants with Fyre. Hulu's doc covers this angle a lot more. Also the Netflix doc leaves out the fact that Ja Rule got off light and has recently spoken on record that a lot of the direction came from him as well as the weird manager guy they had.

Lest I resummon Tide back to this thread, the young dipshit is sticking his dick in the PR hornet's nest:

quote:

"I am the student in the video who was confronted by the Native American protestor," the young man, Nick Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School in Covington, Kentucky, said in a statement his family issued through a public relations firm.

quote:

Sandmann said that, with the permission of a teacher who was serving as a chaperone, he began leading the group of students in school spirit chants "to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group."

After a few minutes, the native protesters began approaching, he said, "accompanied by at least one person with a camera."

Two things to take issue with-

1. This stupid loving chaperone should have, y'know, chaperoned the stupid loving kids out of the area instead of whatever this garbage response is.

2. The term "native protester" makes it sound like Phillips and his group were protesting the March for Life. There was the Indigenous People's March going on at the same time as the CHUDfest.

As a DC resident, I've seen the Black Israelites doing their shtick outside of Metro stations from time to time. They look like lovely Lord of the Rings extras, like to shout inflammatory poo poo, and thrive on confrontation. Simply ignoring them is the best thing to do.

Yeah I'm not surprised those shitheads showed up, but the MAGA dorks are even dumber for engaging in it and then trying to somehow put the blame on the Native American's who were there.


Also spoiler alert, these schools groups are usually a bunch of shitheads whenever they come to DC (because they treat DC like it's a theme park and not say, a place where other people live and work). The only shocking thing about these idiots is that someone managed to film them being assholes.

I'll say this, after calming down (this poo poo hits a bit close to home for me so it took some time) I have a much bigger problem with the school than the kid. Kids in general are fuckwads, the group of kids were a bunch of fuckwads, and he may have done some fuckwady things, but the school bused them in and the chaperones let this poo poo happen. I watched a couple videos of the thing and the kid was a lot more nervous than I thought he was at first.

He's not as innocent a victim as he paints himself, but a lot more of the kids around him were being worse.

Yeah you don't get that many kids and chaperones complicit in lovely behavior unless it's the prevailing attitude at the institution.

That institution being a rich enough Catholic School in Kentucky to bus a load of chuds to DC didn't leave much doubt about whether they were going to double down and close ranks. They might do some token punishment at the most. Maybe a written apology authored by the PR firm.

Bet the mom gets a sweet gig on Breitbart though.
