Kyle Rittenhouse - The Truth in 11 Minutes
- Thread starter GromsDad
- Start date
And the fact that half of your ilk could write a "Clinton Cash" style character attack on Nathan the drum-banging idiot but don't even know Biden came out against looting/rioting almost immediately says the same.
Who’s my ilk?
As for Biden’s positions, the guy has been practically invisible to the public. By the Dem party design. When’s the debate again?
Your ilk is people that want to cling to the mindless notion that mainstream Dems didn't condemn the violent part of it about five minutes after it happened. Even Ilhan goddamn fucking Omar did.
It's been ground the Democrats have had to defend since Civil fucking Rights. It's like thinking Dick Cheney hates defense contractors and is incapable of pivoting to some heroes in uniform pablum.
Debate is Tuesday.
I’ve never thought that Dems who actually hold political positions condone rioting. Although there is a sizable contingent of Dem voters and media figures who have basically are apologists for the rioters, or at best turn a blind eye to it. Look at the Portland thread FFS.
Good, hopefully Joe holds on to his marbles.
Yeah. The Portland thread on the erBB. Great barometer for "sizable contingent of Dem voters and media figures".
If by blind eye you mean pointing a camera at it and having it be evening news, you've got me. Checkmate.
I don’t think it’s sizable in terms of it being a large slice of the pie, although it does have enough influence to control the narrative. Leftleaning media sources have been tiptoeing around the issue and are afraid to go much deeper than basic reporting and condemnations of violence. Matt Taibi covered this pretty well in an article that got posted here, and he seems to be one of the only liberal media figures with the clout and balls to ask the questions that the twitter mobs don’t want to hear.
I'm so old I remember when all the erBB wanted was the left to do basic reporting. Those were the days.
Taibbi covered it well? Let's check the tape:
"Sometimes it seems life can't get any worse in this country."
Holy sh!t, grapedrink. If Taibbi slapped on a pink knit pussy hat would you still take him seriously? Because this is objectively some Trigglypuff sh!t. It's YOU'RE A WHITE MALE without using the words white or male.
Then he says George Floyd was murdered in an act of GROTESQUE STATE-SPONSORED VIOLENCE and characterizes the response to the protesters the same way, in the same sentence.
The guy has done everything except spraypaint "reparations" on a safe in a burning bank branch. This is point-blank your cities DESERVE TO BE ON FIRE except it might cost Biden the election thinking.

Getting back to Sandman, let's ignore how batshit insane thinking he was going to get $275M is, or that AT&T would rather have their legal department play Minecraft all day instead of, you know, doing the job they're already paid to do.
Why, if CNN is the Great Satan, would he/his family want to keep the settlement amount private, and wait three months for it.
If CNN is an asshole to a Trumper, and Trumper goes to court to prove CNN is an asshole, and Trumper wins $275M, how in the f--k can you think a kid wearing a MAGA hat a Right To Life Rally isn't going to be doing a touchdown dance on a sidewalk in front of a skyscraper in Atlanta where CNN is (or was)?
"Nah, I don't want the money now. Let's wait three months. It would look bad for the people I want to make look bad for making me look bad otherwise".
Bullshit. The democrats are behind the riots and looting. Who cares what lipservice they give.
Isn't that what your ilk said about Marinus van der Lubbe setting the Reichstag fire?
If you're talking about Sandmann, apply yourself and devote about 30 seconds of thought to the situation.
You can do this.
I already did this and posted it.If you're talking about Sandmann, apply yourself and devote about 30 seconds of thought to the situation.
You can do this.
You and janitor have come up with "punitive damages".
I think if you applied yourself and devoted about 30 seconds of thought to the situation, you'd come up with a Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer dogfood bowl.
And a Candy Crowley glamour shot.
I never said he was 100% spot on and free of hyperbole. So if you are going to cherry pick a few phrases, how about you look at the entire article? Below is an example of what I am speaking of in terms of the cohort of the looney left that is controlling, or at least attempting to control the narrative:
So fookin hell, do you really trust those types of journalists and academics to cover what's going on fairly? Especially when it comes to the issue of really diving deeper and covering the whole story in regards to the mostly peaceful protestors?
Again, whatever Sandman has done in the aftermath that speaks poorly of his intentions and character is not the issue. The point is that CNN wanted to create a divisive orangemanbad muh privilege story because they didn't have anything to talk about, and that video was their opportunity to do so. Because abortion, Native Americans and MAGA hats.
I read that article. I don't understand how two people getting fired adds up to jack sh!t when people are dying because the cops/agency in question are dumbfuck retards who should be forcibly sterilized (Breonna Taylor) or just assholes who should be gassed (George Floyd). Matt Taibbi asserts that the police are the problem as fact and thinks the retard power isn't even worth addressing.
I am not trying to impugn the character of Sandmann.
I'm saying anyone who thinks he got anything close to $275M is a fucking retarded potato, full stop.

I couldn't. What were the damages? No one would recognize him without the hat.If you're talking about Sandmann, apply yourself and devote about 30 seconds of thought to the situation.
You can do this.
Of course those are bigger problems. My point is that there is a political and media climate that stifles any kind of conversation that goes deeper than "police bad, blm good". What I quoted from Taibi shows that there are examples of media and academic figures getting skewered for daring to ask tougher questions and suggest that mostly peaceful protestors should keep it mostly peaceful.
Agreed. I'd probably settle for a Mil.
