People tend to break really hard for or against him with very strong sentiment either way, but as I keep saying it often feels like something gets lost in-between on how the daily ins and outs all get un-packaged. Often I just feel on a completely different wave length than many on what the pertinent matter of the day is with regard to U.S Politics and News. personally i support compromise. my platform is that if you have a chronic illness they flip a coin; if it's heads the government pays for your treatment and if it's tails then billionaires get to hunt you for sport

thing. The way I see it Democratic government tends to run better (or perhaps less worse in the case of modern congress) when there's at least some attempt to not have everything devolve into an us vs. them moment where it doesn't serve a particular purpose. Many seem to see it a sign of weakness or capitulation, but I've rarely found it to be the case. It's like just....parliamentary poo poo.

I can understand people freaking out when it's an election, but this is a bullshit speech that meant nothing. The most interesting thing about this speech is that it almost didn't happen. Then again, I guess it's really just an excuse for people vent about other things that are bothering them. Lord knows I've done that myself a lot in these kind of threads. It's just that the anger and doom and gloom is directed at something especially pointless and petty this time so it comes off as a little weird. "Oh no, AOC clapped or chanted at something or whatever, this cancels out everything else she's ever done or said for some reason"

I spent my evening not watching this, and not drinking, because I've spent the last two years drinking too much and obsessively following the news long past the point that being my being informed is in any way helpful to how I treat other people or the world in general and having done this, it seems so much more obvious that the high conservatives will have simply because the diaper baby didn't poo poo his pants on live television will end incredibly soon. Also, I understand he didn't declare a national emergency, so that's good.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:I can understand people freaking out when it's an election, but this is a bullshit speech that meant nothing. The most interesting thing about this speech is that it almost didn't happen. The only thing I find interesting about this speech is that Trump's zombies have so totally wrapped up their egos in him that they're lauding a speech that's as close as he'll ever get to Decorum. Granted, it's because they see it as a brilliant 11th Dimensional Chess Move that will surely secure The Wall rather than REAL decorum, but even a few weeks ago they would have seen this as complete abandonment on his part. I think we have to come to the sad conclusion that while the shutdown was a devastating defeat for Trump in almost every way, it was a win in the only category he cared about : cementing up the fractures among that 30% brainwashed base. We all saw the fear and doubt and rage boiling over in the weeks leading up to the shutdown in holes like T_D and 4chan and whatnot. If he had backed off from the wall, or the Lame Duck House had failed to pass the Wall bill, they would be eating each other alive. Instead they believe more strongly than ever because he "fought for them," and so they've finally reached the point where he can literally do no wrong, even when he outright betrays what they expect of him. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing "He's leaving Clinton unarrested as an elaborate plot," takes soon from Q psychos, and if he outright folds on the wall I expect the line will be that he did it so he could make it a wedge issue to ensure his re-election and the retaking of the House in 2020.

That's what he does for major speeches. I mean, the Oval Office speech wasn't that long ago and he almost fell asleep at his desk giving it.

I mean, we did get that report that Trump was pissed about the speech and wanted to make the whole thing nothing but making GBS threads on the Dems. The odds of us getting an unhinged rant about how his enemies will suffer and bleed and he will use their very corpses to have his wall were not 0.

I don't understand anyone calling this a Death Stare. She is clearly upset/angry but looks worried and a TINY bit scared. I'm not suggesting she's out of her depth or a coward but she clearly understands that we're living in a loving madhouse.

It's the exact look a sane human being would have being in the house surrounded by elderly lunatics and nazis and corporate sycophants and watching a speech by noted game show host and WWE Hall of Famer and president of the united states Donald Trump. It's a genuine reaction and she is totally out of her element, but that's not a bad thing. It's like sneaking onto the Death Star and being surrounded by a hundred stormtroopers. It has to be the weirdest loving thing if you're an actual normal human being.

Majorian posted:When it's CNN, pretty often. They have him on a lot. Like, an unseemly amount. He is literally employed by them. I think it was in 2017 that Zucker basically said in some industry forum that the politics of the Trump era had been the greatest boon for CNN’s bottom line and that they were in the business of bringing people “human drama” first and information second. And that that was how they approached doing political commentary. CNN doesn’t keep trogs like Santorum on their payroll or trot them out all of the time because they’re popular or because a critical mass of Americans share their beliefs or because Turner expect that their viewers will want to connect with the full range of partisan opinions. They don’t have Santorum on there to give nuanced policy opinions or speak from experience or win converts. Rick Santorum’s job at CNN is to say objectionable fringe poo poo and make your blood pressure spike. Then he’ll get into a shouting match with Van or one of the Democratic guests and you’ll get a vicarious thrill. It’s literally just the punditry equivalent of wrestling, with a revolving roster of heels and faces whose job is to entertain rather than inform. And the people who do this job day-after-day can switch it on and off at the drop of a commercial break.

She went from serving drinks in a local bar to sitting in the halls of congress staring down a man who is simultaneously deranged, criminally desperate, and has two-second access to a nuclear arsenal for any reason he wishes, especially after he singles you out in his speech to the nation in all but name. I don't think there's anything that can prepare you for that kind of leap. I don't blame her if she was a bit scared. The more I see of her, the more I understand why people like Ben Shapiro are so brokenly obsessed with her. She is the real deal.

Electric Bugaloo posted:He is literally employed by them. I watch very little cable news, but observing the evolution of what it has become is fascinating. CNN and MSNBC are exactly just pro wrestling punditry while Fox has gone from being a propaganda arm of the government to I'm not sure what. I think a lot of hands are in that cookie jar and are basically directing the president what to do? In the old days the president would tell Fox what to say and do, now it's the opposite. It's very odd. I'm old enough to remember when Turner was in charge of CNN and it was a lot better. Not great, but not this. There was a concept of ethics and journalism. Now it's just talk rasslin. nine-gear crow posted:She went from serving drinks in a local bar to sitting in the halls of congress staring down a man who is simultaneously deranged, criminally desperate, and has two-second access to a nuclear arsenal for any reason he wishes, especially after he singles you out in his speech to the nation in all but name.

If she runs for president I will do everything I can to help and if she wins I will have the best most peaceful sleep I've had in decades. "Dee, that kid looks passed out!"
