Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Let's hope we get Roy Moore after that.

@Dark Wind

It's gonna be Kanye and you know it.

[POOHEAD189]

Yeah @POOHEAD189 we have YEARS of 'But Hillary...' to look forward to yet.

@Penny

*Sigh* I don't doubt it.

more or less. 90% of the shit I say in the thread is directed outwards at the general political landscape. I get it, it's confusing, sorry.

@mdk

That's ok. I should have figured.

@POOHEAD189

I didn't say you did, I said you sounded similar. Hillary, being that she's a recent losing candidate and almost the first female president of the United States, holds similar clout to her name as our current POTUS. If we want one person to condemn condemn condemn, then she shouldn't be free of the same condemn condemn condemn moral outrage. She, after being ragged, finally did say something. All we ask for is consistency of outrage if we're going to be outraged about people not condemning things.

ADDITION: I also don't blame Obama for George W. Bush's garbage economic choices or for George H.W. Bush's garbage economic choices, or for Bill Clinton's. However, he certainly has a hand in doubling the debt.

@Dark Wind

Presidents, like police officers, should be held to a certain standard.

@POOHEAD189

And as far as I'm concerned, Trump held up to his end of that bargain with his original condemnations with regards to Charlottesville. I have no patience for pseudo-moralistic outrage or the non-existent standard of virtue upon which the vast majority of establishment politicians and partisan media members shriek their pontificated nonsense.

Amazing what a decade can bring.

Waking up in a world where the US is pulling out of UNESCO. Not really sure how to react to that.

@Penny

RIP

I legit don't know what the fuck they mean by "anti-Israel bias," surely then them leaving will only make the organization only more anti-Israel?

[POOHEAD189]

Ill need to look into those articles once I am off my shift. I didnt know the US was doing that until Penny mentioned it. Apparently Israel was being mistreated some...how?

@POOHEAD189

Israel was being mistreated by not being allowed to mistreat Palestinians

>inb4 triple parantheses

[POOHEAD189]

The Israel vs. Palestine debate is something I'm not too familiar with, at least for awhile, so I can't really comment. But I just read the top article. It's very contentious stuff, though it would be easy to look at it as the U.S. wanting out because they owe money, and don't feel like developing countries deserve their funding.

@POOHEAD189

I'm probably jumping off again on a random insignificant word choice here, but.... Why would developing countries "deserve" our money anyway? I don't even like paying taxes to my local government.

Anywho.

To me, there are two reasonable positions on Israel v. Palestine. The first is that Israel has every right to protect itself, and until there's real actual progress on not randomly firing rockets into Jerusalem, shitty solutions like occupying the West Bank are justified. That's reasonable to me. The other reasonable position is that both Israel and Palestine are being shitty in equal measures, there's no "good guy," and the U.S. should back Israel only as far as its alliance can be considered prosperous. That, too, is a reasonable assessment in my book. What's unreasonable to me, and this is just how I see it.... it's unreasonable to say that the PLO and Hezbollah and all their terror-buddies are the "good guys" in the story, and that if we're gonna back anybody at all we should really be on THEIR side. That, to me, is crap. But where I see some truth in A and B, UNESCO's actions are between B and C. In an effort, I think, to advance a cause of peace -- the best of intentions -- it's just, ya know, I'm perfectly fine withdrawing from a group that says "Gosh, know who we should be listening to? Mahmoud Abbas." Obama (reluctantly) cut that shit off and I thank him for it.

@mdk

This isnt shocking in the slightest, all the butt-hurt snarky MAGA types on YOUTUBE screeching about how EMINEM IS TEH ESS JAY DUBYOO NOW, WHAT HAPPENED?!

These people, much like Gamergaters have a short fucking memory, Eminem, while always profane and edgy is a

45 year old democrat from Detroit, of course he doesn't like Trump WTF.

Its not even the first time he's railed against a president, he railed against Bush pretty damn hard with almost half of The Eminem Show Album and the single MOSH off encore. He also wasn't too crazy about Bill Clinton just to be clear.



Also Eminem loves swearing and even though he was painted as a homophobe by a few concerned mothers groups, his lyrics and personal views are more often than not, pro equal rights.

"But If we can hump dead antelopes and animals, then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope.




Kid Rock is a slightly more interesting case as he's roughly the same age as Eminem and also from detroit, but he has spent most of his career cultivating a 'southern white trash' style image, and is regularly seen doing country music and has had the confederate feartured in his shows and videos. I'd cautiously say him an Em are probably friends or at least coridal, and your sensationalist news clip is probably making the 'fires back' thin a bigger deal than it really is.

Stop trying to make headlines out of old news.

That's not really the point of that meme headline. Do you need a snickers, Dynamo?

And have by sheer luck had some experience with grils. But I also recognize my autismo is largely responsible.
