Politics And Current Events

Man, it's nice to see you @Kraftster Hope you and the family are doing well and you have found your inner peace.

[Kraftster]

If you haven't been here, you probably have the best take.

Ha. Doubtful. I have all the obvious takes and just feel like the only way to work out how I feel about the most recent world events is conversation. Trump being a grave existential threat seems beyond obvious. COVID being worse than Fox and that joker Levitt would have you believe is not hot. Thinking the COVID response may have been too blunt an approach but one probably necessitated by too little too late probably isn't going to get me into any fights either.

[Kraftster]

Whoa, hey krafty...

Man, it's nice to see you @Kraftster Hope you and the family are doing well and you have found your inner peace.

Yo. Hope you guys are well.

I'm afraid I have some bad news, Krafster.

This checks out, looks like the correct take.

That's because Antifa isn't a real group of organized terrorists.

Apropos of nothing, is the KKK designated as a terrorist organization yet?

The Klan is not designated a terrorist organization for the same reason Antifa isn't. There is no organized KKK today.

[Freddy Rumsen]

My word. Someone needs to send gramps back to the basement.

Source of the post There is no organized KKK today.

I don't believe this is correct.

co-signed as the correct take.

The senate addressing the important stuff, definitely a good time to air grievances when nothing else urgent to attend to.

Tom's last name is racist

[Troy Loney]

Also, that final take could get you into a fight.

Named after something white.

Also I like how he didn't spell secret service, and called it the S.S.

I'm sure Trump meant to reference the Schutzstaffel rather than just shorten Secret Service to get in under Twitter's character limit.

It was a joke...

By the way, the secret service is abbreviated USSS, which is the same amount of characters as S.S. And Trump knows that.

All in the master plan of turning the USA into a 4th reich.

See, I never believed the “Trump is literally Hitler” thing because that’s actually a discredit to Hitler. Trump is a buffoon. I don’t find him charismatic at all; he’s not well-spoken, he often fumbles through talking, he isn’t particularly good at using literary rhetoric. Unless he’s hiding his cards and playing dumb on purpose, I don’t think he’s as smart as Hitler was

Though I guess the rise of Trump is indicative of some scary ****

[willeyeam]

saisons suck

[Kraftster]

Well, it was a fun little return, but if that's the kind of non-sense getting play in here, I'm out.

[willeyeam]

lol on a serious note, welcome back kraftster

This is what I think of when I read some of the logic behind the canceling and renaming of everything

The Klan is not designated a terrorist organization for the same reason Antifa isn't. There is no organized KKK today.

The reason is because there is no legal authority to designate any domestic organization as 'terrorist'.

Do you recall how Matt and Trey handled Isaac Hayes' departure from the show?

That is how you cancel someone.

Pentagon’s top general apologizes for appearing alongside Trump in Lafayette Square

The Pentagon’s top general apologized on Thursday for appearing alongside President Trump near the White House after authorities forcibly removed peaceful protesters from the area, saying that it “was a mistake that I have learned from."

Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the remarks in a prerecorded graduation speech to students at the National Defense University. He has been roundly criticized for thrusting the military into politics by walking alongside the president on June 1 as Trump traveled on foot to a nearby church that had been damaged during protests following the police killing of George Floyd.

Milley advised the students that it is important to keep “a keen sense of situational awareness” and that he had failed to do so as he walked from Lafayette Square in combat fatigues alongside the president, Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper and other senior advisers.

“As many of you saw the results of the photograph of me in Lafayette Square last week, that sparked a national debate about the role of the military in civil society,” Milley said. “I should not have been there. My presence in that moment, and in that environment, created the perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

The apology follows a backlash from several retired senior officers, including Jim Mattis, who served as Trump’s first defense secretary.

So what you're saying is everyone losing their statue was probably in NAMBLA?

I thought Epstein was a 21st century character

Both reasons apply, obviously.

[nocera]

There are plenty of active KKK "tribes" in America. So maybe one reason applies.
