News - Politics - Current Events

New York?!
Kirkland, WA. lol. They’re all over the place. Have had candidates like that on the ballots here for a decade or more.

One year we had a Communist vs. Nazi vs. Governors daughter for Port of Seattle position. To say the least, that governors daughter got her foothold in politics during that election. She then got her special interest group into a state level position to pass the gasoline and electricity cap and trade plan that increased gas prices by 50 cents a couple of years back.

charlie kirk killed by shooter at utah valley university today
 
I didn't like the guy, only agreed with things he said here and there, but don't think he deserved to be murdered for his thoughts/opinions. I don't think anyone should be, whether I agree with them or not. If we can't tolerate folks having a different opinion than us, what are we even doing?
 
I don't condone gun violence or death for opinions.

But if be ok with it if they were pedophiles.

I never listen to the guy but I saw some clips here and there. Looked up some of his controversial topics and do not agree with anything I saw. I'm also very anti religious and anti gun ( mostly anything other than hunting rifles).
 
Swirling further and further down the shitter.....

BTW...there was yet another school shooting yesterday, since no one seems to be covering it from what I am seeing on TV and even less on the interwebz.
 
So I just had some Jehovah's Witness ladies come to my door....They def knew about the Kirk dude since it was part of their speech and I interrupted them and told them there was a school shooting also. They had no clue!

What the actual ****!
 
Because Charlie got 99.9% of the news coverage
 
Body count wasn’t high enough (only shooter died), 2 injured.

Lost to overt political assassination.

Last school shooting before didn’t get much attention except from folks like Charlie Kirk, who was killed while discussing his perspective on that shooting, from what I’ve seen.

Need to remember one key point - the news itself has an agenda, be it left or right. They can’t report on absolutely everything. They will report on stories that will get people clicking on websites and tuning into television channels/streaming. Also, if the story goes towards discrediting the news or preferred corporate perspective, then it’s buried.

What I don't get is why the Charlotte story of the lady getting stabbed to death is making national news.

Maybe because she is from Ukraine? Maybe because the guy has been arrested a ton of times and his last arrest he was let go with no bond?

I know Trump is talking about a cashless bond rule/law.....which NC does not have. But they do allow a $0 bond as long as the criminal agrees to a couple things. Which I guess can sound similar but technically are not the same things......according to experts on the news channels.
 
It's a bunch of crap....he didn't say anything that isn't true....

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,"
 
Make Merica great again.
If trump finds a way to run again USA is doomed. Probably already doomed though.

Kimmell didn’t need to go off the air. But if he poisoned his position like Colbert and others, so be it. Sure, the z republicans trying to score points. But for 4 years, it was Democrats trying to score points with a failing Biden presidency.

Here, it may be left-wing ideology with Antifa leanings. Kid may have grown up in a Republican-leaning family, but news stories indicate a collegiate shift in politics hard to the left, with trans/furry, Antifa, and anti-capitalist views.

It’s kinda tiring to see constant media of being right-wing and MAGA folks committing violence when it’s been Antifa and their brethren ripping cities apart since 2016. Not a group of folks who had a single protest get out of hand on Jan 6, 2020. Speaking from Seattle and Portland burn on a regular basis from Antifa riots on a regular basis. Speaking from multiple assassination attempts over the last several years from left-wing folks. Seattle is 50% Democrat, 45% Communist, and 5% Republican. It’s not the 5% destroying the city.

Just to say - MAGA ain’t killing MAGA. Anti-MAGA wants to kill MAGA. There are lots of radicals out there calling for the elimination of their opposition and it goes one direction, and it’s not the lies that are being spouted by the likes of Kimmel. So, does he deserve to be off the air, probably not. But, for years it’s been to folks on the right - freedom of speech pertains to government making laws to prevent you from talking. It doesn’t prevent your employer from canning your *** from being stupid (anti-vaxxer, Covid idiot, or Colbert and Kimmel).
 
@FooBird the problem with the Kimmel thing is that Trump put pressure x,y,z to pull license or whatever on the network because he didn't like what Kimmel said. Then the network did what they did because of Trump, not because of what Kimmel said. These shows are recorded mid-day and then aired at night. Plenty of time for the network to re-do the monologue or can the entire show. This thing didn't become a thing until 2 days later and because the FCC head, or whomever, pointed out the line in the monologue. Trump caught wind of it and things happened.

If Kimmel would have been fired because of the line, he would have grounds to sue the network based on Freedom of Speech. He would most likely win. Everyone that watches Kimmel or sees his stuff, in short versions on the interwebz or wherever, knows where Kimmel stands politically. It's not like its a new thing or has had a change in character. So to say he poisoned his position is a far reach, in my opinion on what you are trying to say.

The problem at large, is that Trump is pressuring media folks/networks to stifle the truth and peoples voices, that he seems to not like. Plain and simple. This should upset EVERYONE. By truth, I mean removing history of USA from museum and such.

There is a few more thing I could talk about from your reply but that is not the "problem" we talking about. Not sure why you brought up all the other stuff.
 
john stewart is far worse to trump in my eyes. or maybe just funnier? why hasnt he gone after him?

How does the entire country not see what trump has done or is doing and not think the majority of it is wrong? the guy is the biggest liar and hypocrite.

i cant enter your country without fear of having my phone looked through any more. and because of that i cant bring a phone with me lol.
 
For 5 years, if anybody found out you were in agreement with Trump, they lost their job. Big celebrities, CEOs, athletes, you name it. I’m not a big Trump fan, but I can see it. He didn’t start this dumpster fire, it’s been going for years, especially since 2020. Turnabout is fair play in my opinion. It’s only so long one side can tear down the other without response.

It all started in 2000 with the Bush v. Gore thing. Got amplified in 2004, again in 2008, and absolutely lit on fire in 2016 with Hillary losing. They went from Republicans are election stealers, to idiots, to they’re malicious, to they are cruel to animals, to mega bad election stealers, to literal Nazis, to Nazi anti-vaxxers, election deniers, to they need to be killed Nazis. We’ve seen people be shot at it, assaulted, and killed. 90%+ of it goes one way. Even Democrats who’ve been shot.

We see cities getting burned over individual police interactions that a subset of folks disagree with. That all come from one place. Increasingly so, it’s Marxist far-left groups poisoning minds and paying big money to tear down the US political system.

I see it in Seattle, you see it in California. Politicians ignoring the will of the people to enact their personal agendas, overarching globalist ideals, and the sort. They do it under the guise of Democrat Party politics, but lesser so now, they’re the Democratic Socialists. Look at NYC, Mamdani runs as a Democrat, is a “Democratic Socialist” but is even left of that advocating to take over the means of product distribution, government housing, government ownership and distribution and control of people’s lives. In the 1990s we called those people Communists.

Donald Trump’s policies are akin to 1996 Bill Clinton. He’s basically a Democrat, but with the Democrat Party shifting so far to the left, he looks super far right. Obama was the “deporter in chief”. Trump deports 700,000 people and it’s the worst thing ever. Obama deported 3.2M and according to the ACLU, anything less would be “un-American”. And Obama bragged as he did it without Immigration Court proceedings. 2025, Trump does the same thing, and people advocate for his removal, his death, and openly lie.

So, at the end of the day. Turnabout is fair play. Kimmel lost his job. He’ll get another, maybe will run for political office. It doesn’t hurt him or his family one bit. They’ll be okay. That’s a lot to be said in comparison to his subject he made fun of whose family no longer has a father, a father who’s no longer going to have a son. It may incite future occurrences, we’ll see. November isn’t too far off and I’ll be now, that **** is going to go down if some people don’t get their way. And I don’t think it’s gonna be coming from the MAGA side if I may say so.
 
are you aware the US gov now owns 10% of intel? Some people view this as extremely "socialistic"?
