idk wtf this is but nothing in those few tweets looks wrong imo

Dude wrote a book about Super Mario Brothers 3 that was series of words complaining about how he got bullied by "jocks" and hasn't looked back since.
http://www.reaxxion.com/4707/the-disappointment-of-moviebobs-book-smb3-brick-by-brick

quote:

Bob goes on to talk about how he “needed it to be good” because “Mario was my friend”. He then goes on to describe an emotional blow brought on by the game Yoshi’s Island. You see, that game showed Mario as having been born in the Mushroom Kingdom, rather than Brooklyn as Mario lore had said up until that point.

The rest of this section really doesn’t have that much to do with Mario. He goes on to basically give a short life story. I for one didn’t care for this bait and switch on Bob’s part. Just because no one in their right mind would pay to read your autobiography doesn’t mean you need to sneak that crap into a book on Mario 3.

Just to give you an idea of how far off topic Bob wanders, he describes an incident when he was a contributor on a public access show as a movie reviewer. Apparently the host of the show, a conservative Christian, didn’t care for a negative review of the Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion, and chewed out and fired Bob over it. Given Bob’s history of immature and petty behavior towards those of different political views than him, I’m skeptical as to whether that’s really how it went. Point is though, what in the hell does this have to do with Mario?

And the next part is Bob describing all of the enemies, characters, and each and every level of Mario 3 as he plays through it, as well as splicing in journal entries of his life at the time. The analysis of Mario 3 isn’t that bad really, but the personal stuff ranges anywhere from boring and irrelevant to painfully awkward to read.

Shouldn't a dude who's covered PMCs and Dirty Wars be able to out debate and not fall for the gotcha traps of a gay brit who will do nothing but pretend he's a scandalous counter-culture agitator?

Part of the reason Milo keeps getting attention is because he faces off against screechy loons that don't do their homework. I figure some one with Scahill background would be able to school Milo like Van Jones was able to in that Carl the Cuck Slayer video. Seem kind of like a whiny tap out.

Very true, plus another alt-righter showed up on the Joe rogan show and apparently had trouble keeping up with a drug-out meathead so I may be overestimating his ability to respond to being called out on being a poo poo head in a less crowded environment.

The problem is that Milo is very experienced with live show/interview/round table discussions so it would take some one with a decent amount of data/facts/research and a personality to really show him up. Milo lives on running circles around people that are either unprepared, thinking their the smartest person in the room and/or believe their cause is so just and right that no person could possible think otherwise.

Remember how her outing began with a mailed threat to her NAACP chapter that was determined to most likely be a hoax? Did anything else come of that?

Most likely she sent it to herself in order to get more attention to the NAACP chapter and it just spiraled out from there. Mailed threats to yourself for attention/victim card bucks was popular at the time after real threats popped up some where else.

Nahh, he is right. Always focusing on Russia allows Dems to not have actual position (position that would hurt the donor class) to win elections and continue to just be the "not Republican" party. The Russia stuff isn't good mind you but it shouldn't be Dems core position right now.

He's not right because he (and a few other posters) posted four days ago that the Russian stuff was fake fake fake and it's funny as hell how wrong that incisive commentary was. Like, if they want to just be Trump's fuckholes there are way better ways to do it than tripling down on "the Russian stuff isn't real guys seriously".

After the "Russia piss tapes will drop at any min guys" along with "Russia hacked the election but we have no evidence" hysteria I have major Russia fatigue until something with more concrete information comes out. I really worry it will that will be Dem core campaign strategy for 2018 while not changing any other positions that let them get to this point.
