In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

So I am going to go ahead and mark you down as not holding Biden responsible every time an undocumented immigrant kills someone.

Do what you want man. Just glad that you can prove my point that not a soul among you deserve to be treated like a functioning adult

Serious question I ask to any trump supporter who isn’t PB: if a single person dies from Milton because they believe trump and the acolytes complete and total lies about FEMA, do you hold trump responsible?

I admittedly haven't been following this closely. But if you believed FEMA wanted you dead, wouldn't you be more likely to evacuate and, therefore, less likely to die?

Trump is not held to the same standards of a normal presidential candidate or often times just an adult.

You seem confused.

Trump actually protected his citizens by closing and sealing up the border.

He also made "Deep State" a household word. He also publicly called out the Fake News media as being a controlled arm of the DS. These are the guys calling the shots, NOT your president or vice president.

The citizens in the disaster areas that are saying FEMA wasn't helping them but instead were actually confiscating their donations weren't lying, but it's still your right to believe one side over the other. That doesn't mean the side you believe is telling the truth. Elon Musk also publicly stated his starlink equipment he donated was also confiscated. Was Elon lying? Trump calling out FEMA for their horrible response was more than justified.

And furthermore, the daughter of a NC Mayor WAS EVEN DENIED her $750

Keep praising your President and FEMA. That's your right.

Fascinating stuff. Did you look into the fossil fuel conspiracy yet? Looking forward to your expert assessment.


If there’s one thing I can say as an absolute certainty, this country, and somehow by extension the world, is so much worse off cuz people like PB exist

From their standpoint the PBs of this world exist as 1 of 2 things:

1. I believe this bullshit and will give everything I have to the first person who speaks truth to power (which has now become so engrained into the GOP and so mainstream it’s impossible to win candidacy without them)

2. I don’t believe this bullshit but trolololololol for lelz and/or power (which has become the people profiting off of this who are literally the lowest rung of humanity). Even the richest guy alive is such a depraved power hungry scumbag that he’s now swimming in these seas for clout and control

And now we’re trapped in a reality where every single election, midterm or general, is spent compromising the issues you care about to stave off this rising sea level of human garbage til they eventually overwhelm and have complete power

We truly live in the shittiest timeline

example?


by MSchu18 k

example?

Any adult who would say things like this and still be considered as a legitimate presidential candidate isn't being held to the standards of an adult.

The debate was another great example of this. Following Trump saying he would dismantle the ACA (Obamacare), he was asked if he had a plan ... and he said he has "concepts of a plan" (AKA he has no plan). How can you run for president and not be able to articulate any kind of plan on health care? It's like showing up for a work meeting without even having a rough draft.

edit:
I'm sure there are plenty of other examples since these ones only took me like 60 seconds to think of.

1. Infrared and light therapy is 100% real and effective.

2. When he said "maybe there's a way to inject a disinfectant into the body", he wasn't talking about Clorox bleach for goodness sakes lmfao. He was specifically talking about a medicine disinfectant, which is exactly what an intravenous antibiotic is, same principle. That's why he said "we need to consult with the doctors".

I hope that helped, I'm here if you have any more questions.

You're the confused one. I'm not asking you a question, I'm EXPLAINING to you what the truth is.

What Trump suggested is completely useless against COVID. Red light therapy is not effective against COVID. Injecting a disinfectant (of any kind) is not effective against COVID. The man clearly has no business giving out any kind of medical advice or anything that could be interpreted as medical advice.

He wasn't giving any "medical advice", he was thinking out loud and asking questions.

I don't need anyone to explain to me what the truth is. I'm very well aware of the truth light years more than anyone on this forum by far (and not by reading it on the internet. I've lived "the truth" since I was 6 years old).

Stop letting the corrupt and controlled MSM brainwash you into thinking Trump is the bad guy when he's actually standing up for you and your freedom. It's sad there are people like you who can't see that.

Right ... and that's why my MAGAt relatives have been doing stupid things such as taking Ivermectin (which was specifically suggested by Trump himself).

Not to mention the "alternative" media you worship has led them to start a regimen of drinking hydrogen peroxide, taking baths in borax, a Kratom addiction, and using colloidal silver ... and god only knows what else.

The idea that Trump stands for freedom is completely laughable. The GOP has done more to erode our personal freedoms than any other party. Trump especially.

Of course he was lying lol. Just like he was lying about sending a robotic submarine to rescue that thai soccer team.

The old "look, he's really, really dumb" defense.

Playbig vs. Trump would be a pretty fair match up actually.


NEWS UPDATE: The NC National Guard is taking responsibility for the Blackhawk that destroyed the hurricane aid center, and is saying they grounded a pilot.

https://myfox8.com/weather/hurricane-hel...

I believe they're only claiming responsibility because of all the attention the story got and most importantly because:

1. The callsign wasn't consistent with a NC National Guard H60
2. The transponder was turned off prior to entering the airspace over the distribution center.
3. There was no LZ set up.
4. The registration (tail number) and all other data in the ADS-B was blocked as n/a, as well as all other information about the A/C except the callsign. This is what they do in covert military operations, not while delivering supplies to hurricane survivors.
5. if you watch the video, he's seen hovering over the site and then descends very low while everything below him is being blown around in the air. Was he really setting up to land on top of people's heads on the ground?
6. The pilots were wearing surgical facemasks.

I think they're just using the NG as a scapegoat, so people stop talking about it.

Fascinating, I continue to be truly mesmerised by your insightfulness. Could you tell us a bit more about the truth you've lived since you were six years old?

You get upset at the government when they don’t want to let random people go into a disaster area with helicopters, and then when something goes wrong while delivering aid you jump down their throats. This is the exact reason so much oversight goes into this stuff, because common sense doesn’t win out and mob mentality does instead.

Sheeple.

You can't handle the truth!


I'm interested in hearing about Playbig's life experiences. If someone else isn't they can scroll on.


by MSchu18 k

example?

If you need an example today , after like the past 8 years , it’s like trying convince someone the sky is blue .
If you can’t see on your own today , nothing we could share would .
A teenager could see it …

The Electoral College needs to go

Democratic vice presidential nominee wants to replace the
Electoral College with a popular vote system. Donald Trump agrees.

Donald Trump is on the record saying he’d prefer a popular-vote system.
The Republican went so far as to argue, “The Electoral College is a disaster for a democracy.”

the Electoral College is an insane, unworkable mess and creates wild distortions in the
single-most important election in the country that literally don’t exist in any other election


The Tesla Robot even was pretty lol. Including robot bartenders that I don't think could even make a pre programmed drink.
