His facebook videos initially come up blank for me, but do eventually load up if I wait 15 - 20 seconds.

All I'm doing is pasting the URL for the videos like I always have. I always hit refresh and verify they are showing up... so no idea why you poors have so much issue.

Being a democrat must be awesome.

World leaders begged me to run, claims Joe Biden: Former vice-president says his 2020 presidential bid was inspired by calls from politicians across the globe who want him to ‘save the world’

  1. Biden joined a field of 19 other Democrat candidates on Thursday afternoon
  2. He claimed in a call to donors he had been asked to run by other world leaders
  3. The former vice president announced his campaign with a three-minute video


I wonder if Putin was one of them...

Ocasio-Cortez blown away by first experience with a garbage disposal



New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is learning a lot of new things in Washington — including about what a garbage disposal is.

The 29-year-old freshman congresswoman posted photos and videos on Instagramshowing the apparently “terrifying” contraption at work in her swanky DC apartment and saying she’d never seen one before.

“OK everyone I need your help because I just moved into this apartment a few months ago and I just flipped a switch and it made that noise and it scared the daylights out of me,” Ocasio-Cortez can be heard saying in footage.

“I am told this is a garbage disposal. I’ve never seen a garbage disposal. I never had one in any place I’ve ever lived,” she later said.

...


watch the video.

While you're currently at work, just remember: this is what college students do after graduating and voting for free money while living for free with mommy:

Strangely, the account was created in November of 2018 and rose to a reasonable level of popularity before it was banned Monday night.

Twitter added that the “account will not be reinstated.”

Remember when it was acceptable to have social clubs which were accessible only to people of a certain race?

Approaching maximum outrage:

So, yeah. The Cubs have avowed to seek out the identity of this person, and ban them from Wrigley for life. That's what you get for expressing an opinion these days...

Also, serves them right for giving that game to NBC Sports. :giggle:

Braineack 05-08-2019 10:30 AM

What? but no outrage for a black man wearing a headset? Doesn't the Cubs and WP know that when a black man is wearing a headset it means he hates dogs and secretly poisons the dogs in his neighborhood?!

Serious commentary:

So far as I know, the "white power sign" that the Cubs (and by extension, everyone) is upset about does not exist. The only corroborating sources I can find for this are either 4chan (which is not exactly an authoritative source of fact) and people who are looking for something new to be victimized by.


It seems to me that the dude in the Cubs video was playing the circle game. Source: https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/circle-game/

Admittedly, stupid and juvenile, but as far as you can get from Nazi-esque.

Yes, I think we've already had this exact discussion in this thread before. And I've known it as the "circle game" since before Amazon was a thing people used to buy books. So I don't know where these idiots come up with this stuff.

So is the OK sign a white supremacist symbol or not? By now, I hope it’s crystal clear that its ambiguity is precisely why it’s such an effective trolling tactic. (For more on the role of ambiguity as a trolling tactic, here’s a post I wrote about alt-right aesthetics in the wake of Charlottesville.)

When successful, this kind of trolling makes otherwise credible journalists and public intellectuals look like buffoons, either by overreacting to an ambiguous stimulus or by missing the whole context of the gesture, as Timeand other outlets appear to have done.

Because people who profit from having a drum to beat like to make up outrage? And idiots and the half-educated will buy into whatever they are told.
