They were tossed in at the end of a silly political story that otherwise wouldn't have a punchline.

Saint Obama was literally caught spying on our last labour-aligned president and everyone, including us, let it slide, because what are you gonna do. Then a wave of judicial coups spread all over Latin America, starting with Honduras, then Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia with the US just nodding approvingly at how the wogs were finally "fighting corruption seriously", as long as they crushed unions and put everything on the auction block. There are a lot of reasons the region developed so much in the early 2000's, but a big one among them was that the US was too busy with its bogus War on Terror to care about us as it used to.

Xand_Man posted:Was SNL part of painting Bannon as Trump's puppetmaster? Nah they just made Bannon a guy in a Grim Reaper costume, I don't think they painted Trump as the dumb puppet. At least not the way they did with Bush and Cheney. The thing about the SNL Trump stuff is that they quickly realized that [i]Trump himself was watching[i] and tweeting angrily about it the next day so they just went full into making GBS threads on him regardless of how actually funny it was. Alec Baldwin did a terrible impression but he got Trump extra mad so he stayed. Honestly if I had a direct audience with Trump I'd do the same thing.

Agree to misagree. Edit: also snl pumps out a shitton of talent. I always love hearing people say "the current cast sucks" and then they love the actors and writers movies and TV shows years later without realizing they were on snl.

Saturday Night Live was obsolete the instant Vine, and later TikTok, were launched. The network just can't give up the show's status as a star nursery, even though they've been producing fewer and fewer stars each year. Anyway. Biden has recognized the Armenian massacre as a genocide, in a move that is sure to make Turkey thrilled. A Virginia deputy gave a Black man a ride home - then shot him six times when the deputy "mistook" a cordless phone for a gun. And in Louisiana's runoff election, Troy Carter, who advertised his "ability to work with Republicans", is leading Karen Peterson, who positioned herself to Carter's left.

I sat around a campfire tonight and managed a soft political discussion with some centre-right friends on the border and the georgia boycott. Their understanding is that 1) Biden is building more wall, illegals do suffer more hardships than the average american, but they must immigrate legally cause why can't they? (And that calling the ICE happenings genocide is strong words) 2) The new voter ID laws in Georgia state (as they see it) that the state allows everyone to automatically get voter ID registered, extend voting during holidays, and that all the hubbub is that dems want to make those without a voter ID able to vote (blacks should be able to get those voter IDs no problem, right?) We of course shook hands and I kept the tension minimal. But I wonder; how would I convince them the happenings in Georgia and the Border Wall as we leftists see it?

They treat suicidal people with weapons as being homicidal because sometimes suicidal people decide to take others with them.

To this point, and it maybe hard to hear, is trying to understand where people are coming from. You don't have to exactly validate their beliefs but try to examine how they got to their beliefs. However, knowing when someone just is too hardened is also a skill.

For a fellow afflicted with the inability to read social cues unless taught - I could really feel no disdain or ire at the subjects from them (unlike a Shapiro type). I was able to keep the discussion on the low burner and keep it engaging, afterwards talking about a shared interest in engineering. I feel really proud of myself for reading the room that well. The happenings in Georgia and the border are beyond their concern, and I'm okay with that. They did show interest in Biden's taxing the rich and his emissions goals so that was great.
