Now look, fat, that's a bunch of malarkey! There were really 18 campaign staffers watching this live stream. The 19th viewer was actually Corn Pop. He lost to Sleepy Joe in a push-up contest, and the consequence was having to subject himself to this video here.
I really like it whenever President Trump posts these types of tweets, as they often provide a brief but pleasant respite from the more politically-themed messages. Tweets like these also show that despite the strong personality, Trump is simply a regular guy who shares some common interests with everyday Americans. He truly is a president of the people.
You can be alone and not lonely or wanting.
I totally agree, my friend. Personally, I don't understand why so many men tend to base their self-worth and happiness on whether or not they have a significant other (girlfriend or wife) in their lives. We live in a big world, and thus, there exists countless things that a man can do and learn in order to feel internal satisfaction. Plus, if a man has a solid support system in immediate family members and perhaps one or two good friends, then he'll never be completely alone anyway.
In my view, if some men believe that being with a woman will make their lives more pleasant, then that's fine. As for me, I'm perfectly content with being by myself for now.
Maybe, but I obviously don't know for sure.
I'm actually a Celtics fan myself and love their classic teams. I also enjoy old-school NBA in general. It shouldn't be a surprise, then, that I really can't stand the way the game is played these days. The Rockets are a big offender in that regard; Mike D'Antoni's main coaching strategy lies in playing super-small ball and shooting 3-pointers in excess.
Having said that about Houston, I do respect the fact that Morey tried to express an opinion that is deemed largely unpopular in most NBA circles. I thought it was unfair the way he was treated following his tweet. Unfortunately, I think he did end up backtracking later, which was the wrong response in my view. As we know, even if you apologize, the angry mob will not forgive you anyway.
It has been incredibly difficult to access the forum today due to the constant barrage of gateway errors. Honestly, in all the times I've visited this site, I cannot recall it ever being this tough to load anything. I mean, it's not like the president had a rally or some other major event scheduled for today, where massive online traffic would have been a bit more understandable.
As others here have already suggested, I think these site disruptions are a good indication that the momentum for our side is trending upward, and the opposition is starting to get nervous. We're to the point where leftists are hurling all they can at the wall, with the hope that something will eventually derail Trump and prevent a second term in office. Therefore, we have to work as hard as ever to ensure that the left's efforts end in failure.
Can you say ANYTHING other than 'Chairman Mao is beautiful & wise?'
Well, the Rockets' general manager, Daryl Morey, attempted to speak his mind about the Chinese government. Unfortunately, he was met with criticism instead of commendation for willing to go out on a limb.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice this recent practice of media outlets capitalizing the word 'black' when referring to race. As someone who's fairly knowledgeable about AP style, it's actually not unusual for certain existing methods to change sometimes. In this case, however, the change just strikes me as a way to continue the division by insinuating that one racial group is superior to another.
As for AP's nonsensical claim about a supposed lack of white history and culture, apparently they overlooked the fact that it was white people who established America. Furthermore, I doubt that many white people from various European countries would take kindly to AP's remarks either.
I can understand your point about Obama and Biden. While many of us here would obviously like to see them receive the appropriate comeuppance for their wrongdoings (ideally prison time), such an action could potentially establish a troubling precedent.
As you said, though, the figurative hammer eventually needs to come down on some of the other Obamagate conspirators (and not people like Papadapolous, Michael Flynn or Roger Stone). Honestly, we're talking about one of the biggest political scandals in American history. All the evidence that has been accumulated over the last few years shows what was done and who was involved.
If justice is not served in this case, it will confirm without a doubt the unequal application of the law that exists in this country.
Don't get me wrong, fellow pede, I trust President Trump. He truly loves our country and tends to have the people's best interests at heart, more than most politicians have had in decades.
I do, however, remain somewhat skeptical of Barr, who would likely be handling any prosecutions in a Madigan case. Keep in mind, Barr also dismissed the possibility of criminally investigating both Obama and Biden for their roles in Obamagate, despite all the evidence we've seen that implicates them. Many of the main culprits within the intelligence agencies have escaped punishment, too.
Will the investigation into this Madigan scandal yield different results? I hope so, but I guess we'll see.
That's fine, fellow pede. Madigan was apparently involved in at least a couple other serious in-state controversies prior to this latest one. Look up the Metra railway patronage scandal from several years back, as well as the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign admissions scandal. Those disasters should confirm his shadiness.
Illinois pede here. Madigan has been a member of the state legislature for nearly 50 years. He is as corrupt as they come, even when considering many of the other horrible politicians that this state has produced over the years (Obama, anyone?). Also, as any Illinois resident knows, Madigan pretty much runs the show here; each of the recent governors has basically served as a figurehead.
Overall, I'm not surprised that Madigan got caught up in a major scandal like this one. Unfortunately, I doubt that he will suffer any severe consequences for his crooked activities. As we've seen numerous times on the national level in recent years, people in powerful positions who have committed illegalities never seem to face any sort of justice. However, I would love to be wrong in this case.
I'm definitely not a legal expert myself, but I did take a media law class in college. To address your question, an individual theoretically could sue a media outlet based on certain content that was published. The problem, though, is that the plaintiff would then bear the responsibility of proving the media outlet's intentions.
The proof level that someone needs to reach tends to differ, depending on the person's status. President Trump and other individuals within his administration would likely be classified as public figures; therefore, they would be held to a higher set of standards than private citizens by having to prove actual malice rather than mere negligence. In other words, the entire ordeal would, unfortunately, not come without its share of challenges.
In my view, the standards by which anyone must prove media misconduct should be loosened a bit. What we've been witnessing in the media lately is not at all what the Founding Fathers envisioned with "freedom of the press."
The final question from Chanel was solid as usual, and Trump provided her with a thoughtful, detailed answer. It's always refreshing to see the rapport that exists between Trump and the more balanced media outlets like OANN.
I think it's great that Trump is highlighting so many of Biden's insane policy proposals in this speech. By doing so, he's attempting to challenge the media narrative that Sleepy Joe is the so-called moderate candidate.
That's definitely a true assessment right there. In the real world, regular people with integrity will take responsibility for any critical errors they commit while on the job; otherwise, they may find themselves in a tight spot. Longtime bureaucrats like Biden, however, can't comprehend such scenarios, since they often know no other career besides government and thus are never in real danger of suffering consequences for their actions.
I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again.
When we consider all of Sleepy Joe's corrupt behavior and myriad verbal gaffes from the past three-plus decades, I would say that his remark here proved to be rather accurate.
It's simply the Streisand effect at work, but from an economic standpoint. Average people do not want to be lectured by elites about what they should or should not purchase with their hard-earned money. Therefore, they will intentionally make an attempt to patronize certain products or services, just because they can. The free market as a whole will react accordingly.
It's quickly becoming obvious to anyone with common sense that "cancel culture" is not really resonating with much of middle America. Of course, I don't expect most leftists to pick up on that fact anytime soon.
You are absolutely right, and that was the point of my initial comment. Fake news (or yellow journalism, the original term for that concept) has existed in this country for well over 100 years now. It has only been within the last five or 10 years, though, that many within the general population have discovered the truth about most media outlets. President Trump has definitely played a major role in that realization.
Here's the deal, Jack. Corn Pop is very much alive, and as of now, it is unclear who exactly he will support in the upcoming election. If you believe otherwise, then you're a lying dog-faced pony soldier.
