It sounds like it's the kind of thing that political journalists generally know about but less so the rest of us.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/WCCO/status/1094671623330893824 I think she does. She earned enough good credit by being the lone democrat to come off as a victim during the Kavanaugh hearing, being the sweet soccer mom he just attacked out of nowhere. I haven't seen a ton of traction on these claims media wise, but if it gets worse, then it could be up in the air.

The North Korea bragging from Trump is funny because like almost all of his "accomplishments" it was exacerbated by him being a dumbass and him egging them on. He's so stupid and I do not like him.

Can you really just say "that should have been reported as a positive, not negative"? Next time I gently caress up I'm gonna tell people "actually, that was good, and not bad".

She knows who's funding her campaigns and gives no fucks about the consequences of their demands.

Hastings posted:Honestly, did he intend to use "savage" with a Native American tweet knowing that connection or is he really that oblivious with his racism? Have you never run into a white guy who really, really wants to use the word "niggardly" all the time whenever he talks about black people? Jr knows exactly what it means, and his next play is going to be denying it, because he's trying to set things up for a "gosh, why are you so obsessed with this, you must be the real racist" response. Of course, given that the context was a guy joking about Native American genocide, he's kind of hosed that one up. But, then, he's not very smart.

posted:As a white guy, let me weigh in on this black face situation by saying I've had a few conversations with people about the blackface scandal in VA. They don't see the big deal about wearing face paint even when given the historical context. They see it as a joke as opposed to at best tone deaf stupidity and at worst an open display of white supremacy. My brother-in-law really seems to believe that once Obama was elected racism was forever dead and people of color were magically and suddenly treated as equals. I wish that was the case. The idea behind privilege and recognizing who it benefits is a bitter pill to swallow. I suppose it's like leading a horse to water and whatnot. Having these types of conversations (or more commonly, arguments) is exhausting but not having them is probably worse. bone napoleon fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 10, 2019 |

Adam Schiff should read my Trump Investigations thread. The fact that Mueller is not live-tweeting what his investigation is doing does not mean he has not done something. What is the evidence that Mueller isn't looking at DeutschBank? Has the SCO, who barely said anything, said "No, we aren't looking at DeutschBank"? No. Hardly anyone outside of the SCO knows what the SCO is, or isn't looking at.

eke out posted:pretty sure adam schiff has more classified information than you do, glowing-fish The pessimist in me thinks that this is because Deutsche Bank has dirty strings connected to a lot of the GOP, which Mueller is trying to avoid as much as possible. His target is Trump and his team and he wants no other GOP officials to be caught up in Trump’s bullshit because it would hurt his team so much. Instead Mueller is carefully threading the investigation so the hilariously corrupt and criminal GOP leadership can have plausible deniability.

Yeah I think he's a racist turd just like daddy, but I also think this was more internet culture than "Ha, extra racism tweet" where he nails the racism line

SocketWrench posted:Slavery is slavery, whether there is an end date or not The part that should actually be highlighted is that the indentured servants were usually quite poor, and of different ethnicity (think Irish/etc). The other part is that the reason they preferred indentures is because the fatality rate was so high that life expectancy was far less than the term of indenture. As conditions and such improved leading to longer life expectancy, they started transitioning to slaves brought from Africa. Like, they were still enslaved for life, they were just also tricked into thinking they'd only work X years and be freed and all that jazz when the rich fucks knew they'd die well before then.
