Rube?

Former poster. Used to go by a different name that I can’t remember. The poster child of BSABSVR. Used to always have an inferiority complex and think everyone looked down on him for working blue collar, then would fight back against everyone arguing that fast food shouldn’t get $15/hr because it’s not a “real career.”

That’s what I thought, and I’m not surprised. He even tried to look down on me even though we basically did the same job. He’d also brush off any talk about the benefits of unionization. Add in the fact he’s the epitome of the “a-hole Minnesota fan” and you’ll understand why I’ve never had a high opinion of him.

Committing federal crimes to own the labs.

This is totally what you do when you think you are winning.

II’m honestly waiting for the pipebombs, and not the CM Punk style ones.

Because mookie doesn’t see women as people and he cares more about low taxes than anything else.

come come now….. mookie loves women!
and mookie thinks there should be a flat tax of 40% with every earner getting a deduction of $200k. Very simple. no exemptions or anything else to fool around with. Peeps will keep paying their 6++% into socsec with no cap. Govt can survive off that, then start cutting defense. Brilliant

Not surprising but infuriating nonetheless:

Broadcast news mostly ignored Kamala Harris’ proposal expanding Medicare to cover in-home health care for 15 million seniors

Harris' Medicare proposal was given just 35 seconds of combined airtime on ABC, CBS, and NBC news shows after two weeks

It's partially because she originally announced it on The View which annoys them cause it's not on their shows and it's also partially because they are sexist losers who hold her to a ridiculous standard and the purposefully let Trump suck the air out of the room. That way they can pretend she is not defined.

These guys think guys like CM Punk is a hero and not whiny little...we'll you know.

(obviously they hate his politics)

And this is why I think the entire media is in the tank for him and it's helping him be competitive. If they weren't, this thing would have been over a month ago.

Well duh we have been saying this for months. They aren't even pretending to hide it.

[Russell Jaslow]

So watching this morning's TV, the political ads outnumber the normal ads by a HUGE margin. The TV channels who have "news" are making a TON of money putting these ads on their channels. Such a massive conflict of interest in terms of reporting political news.

You do realize there's a law that states TV stations have to accept political ads if bought, and they have to accept an equal amount on each side, if requested.

That rally might just be the October Surprise with how much negative coverage it’s getting. Sounds like some Republican candidates are having to try to distance themselves from it.

Florida Republicans are panicking this morning for sure.

This country has to be based on more than just profit motive. I understand we're capitalists. I get it. But when you sell your government and it's people out for money you've gone too ****ing far.

Its not the norm on your feed...you have curated it though. If that was the stuff you saw right away you might not even want to take the time to curate it because it isn't worth the effort. The fact is no matter which of them you use you are going to be inundated with stupid people and their ridiculous opinions unless you are willing to put in the time to change that...when there was only Twitter really that was an incentive. When there is a few in competition you might just close the app and move on.

There is no feed unless you create one. If you follow the default feed, it's literally just a list of chronological posts from people you follow. So unless you've chosen to follow those people, you won't be exposed to them. So i'm really not sure what you guys are talking about.

Edit: Sorry everyone. THis will be my last post cluttering this thread. I'd be happy to read replies to this from Handy and Slap Shot, but I've said my piece and I'm probably crossing over into obnoxious. Which isn't my intent.
