All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Mister Mets]

To point this out again...





Someone's "Here's my take on what this is..." when it comes to another user?

It's not "News..." or "Politics..." relevant.

It is relevant to what is posted here. That is fair game.

I disagree on that.

Internet trolls, partly paid for by foreign powers, are affecting American politics, they influenced the Brexit debate, trying to influence politics in France, Germany, etc. We need to talk about trolling.

Maybe someone whispered in her ear that she was causing too much trouble.

She was distracting from the important issues, like Biden celebrating Thanksgiving in Nantucket and the Vice President buying a pan in France.

While I know that I said, I was going to just drop it?

Here is the incredibly obvious issue with what is in blue...

Unless you can make with some bulletproof, irrefutable proof of this being the case that you just have not up until now?

What we have is the belief that the user in question is some manner of compensated whatever.

Which still pretty clearly falls under "Here is my take on this..." and not actual "News.."/"Politics..."

Where did I say this particular user was paid for by the Kremlin?

Easy...

Scenario one: That is what you are saying, and there is something thread relevant to discuss.

Scenario two: That is not what you are saying, and we are right back to folks and their opinion on a user not really being thread relevant at all.

[numberthirty]

Because no one brought up paid chain yanking as a separate issue.

Just gave use some unsolicited opinions on a user that didn't have a whole lot to do with "News..."/"Politics.."

Anyhow...

Back to just leaving this alone.

Sorry for the veer off-topic.

This is how it works for you, right?

Wut? I would not at all have suspected he was an Andrew Yang supporter.

He has very good handlers. Also, the post milennial is a very, very, very bad site.

Why would a Yang supporter go to be embraced by Trump? This is also from an interview on Tucker, so the level of bullshit is as high as it can be. Doesn't pass the smell test.

Yang's base of support had a lot of red-brown types. He was quoted the other day saying he'd accept the backing of white supremacists, actually.

Eh, people are complex and complicated.

But Rittenhouse hung out with Proud Boys and inserted himself into a riot to shoot someone. No amount of pretend virtue signalling will change that.

Do you have a link? I can't find anything on Google.

[Tendrin]

That is disappointing.

Yang is not the guy. There's a reason he got crushed in his run for mayor of NY. Even his UBI proposals amount to 'let's do UBI so we can gut the rest of the safety net'.
