I'm astounded at people thinking that 1)D are communist/socialist to a man.
2)that this DOD stand down is to eliminate anyone who leans right. I guess for the communist takeover.
3) (this one I've seen a few times) that America is going to become South Africa, because they are replacing all white people in power with minorities and (legit quote) "we know what happens when white people aren't in charge." Minority rule =/= White Genocide.

The Trumpists aren't giving up. They are just going back to Obama rhetoric. Except now they think it's cool to just be open and out with their bullshit because for the last 4 years, their beliefs were those of "the majority". Nvm they never were.


E- I missed the fantastic news about Toomey/Fetterman. I hope Toomey gets a super aggressive and painful prostate cancer.

TBF whitey in SAF got real loving quiet after the cops just capped some dudes trying to do the same car and drive by attacks on black communities so idk maybe this isn't a bad thing.

At this stage I wouldn't want to handicap it but I imagine Fetterman has a solid shot. I believe he is well liked in PA and I think he would be relatively hard to attack as a big sissy Demorat girly-man for obvious reasons (lives in converted old car dealership; could bench most Republicans)

ST 6 is so good because it’s about the end of the Cold War instead of just trying to be an action movie.

It’s kind of amazing that all Star Trek movies since then and the new series completely misunderstand that.

Wrath of Khan, while awesome, stuck Trek movies into actioner mode to their continued detriment.

I basically feel that local Democrats should do an absolute poo poo-ton of opposition research against Fetterman and if they can't find anything particularly terrible, clear the loving field. Maybe a few minor opponents to make sure he gets the hang of retail Senate campaigning, but otherwise, get the gently caress out of the way.

Dude seems like Pennsylvania incarnate, doesn't tolerate any dumb poo poo, and has the one thing that other politicians don't have: authenticity. Also, a clearly geniune good dude.

Since bill Clinton (so basically the adult life of almost every poster here) the Dems have realigned away from the working class and towards upper middle class suburbanites. Consequently yeah you're going to get a non-stop flood of dweebs.

Funny thing, I think this might've happened in 2016, but in reverse! He only got 19.5% in the primary, lost to Katie McGinty, (42.5%) and McGinty lost to Toomey in 2016 by 48.8-47.3%.

I'm not a Pennsyvania guy, but it might be possible he just needed the national exposure. He was the Mayor of Braddock (Eastern Pittsburgh Burbs, 2100 people) for like 14 years.

Also regarding 2016, yeah I think it was absolutely a lack of exposure. Honestly I never heard of him till sometime after the election for Governor. When I looked up the Lt. Governor and I doubt that was a unique experience for the Eastern part of PA.

During my brief foray into SOF, nobody ever spoke about politics. Even right after the Soleimani strike, everyone was like "Huh, that sure was a thing". Maybe being former SOF really rots your brain, but this group of mostly-SF guys were very chill and not outwardly-political.

quote:

Donald Trump’s Business Sought A Stake In Parler Before He Would Join

The Trump Organization negotiated on behalf of then-president Donald Trump to make Parler his primary social network, but it had a condition: an ownership stake in return for joining, according to documents and four people familiar with the conversations. The deal was never finalized, but legal experts said the discussions alone, which occurred while Trump was still in office, raise legal concerns with regards to anti-bribery laws.
...
Four sources told BuzzFeed News that [former manager of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign] Parscale and Trump campaign lawyer Alex Cannon met with Parler CEO John Matze and shareholders Dan Bongino and Jeffrey Wernick at Trump’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago in June 2020 to discuss the idea. But the White House counsel’s office soon put a stop to the talks, one person with knowledge of the discussions said, ruling that such a deal while Trump was president would violate ethics rules.

I have to wonder if the whole push to repeal Section 230 was some kind of mob "solve a problem they cause" grifter mentality to try to have a better negotiating position with Parler.

Any deal evaporated after Jan 6th.
