Huh, that seemed like the M.O. of BCT.  Talk shit about people in other threads.  I guess it shows that if Duck and Shumway want you gone they still have that power. 


Calling out Shumway is great.  Looks like slayven had too much spine to join in with his Tweedledum twin.

It's pretty hard not to answer this with Ludwig Van. The man wrote the 9th Symphony completely deaf. I'll see your arguments for Bach, Mozart, Miles Davis, Prince, and a few others.

Prince was a good guitarist, but he was a good guitarist in the way that if I really dedicated myself to guitar I could probably get to be about that good.

 :lol :lol :lol Not a chance. No one who's seen him live would ever say this. Dude probably thinks that While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo is the best Prince could do. It's really a shame more of his live stuff isn't on youtube. His Coachella 08 set would shut this shit down real quick.

Y'all don't realize how fucked Comey is. He said in July that no reasonable prosecutor could indict Clinton. It was effectively over. No matter what happens now he looks completely incompetent at best, actively trying to affect the election at worst. This is not going to end up good for the Republicans.

The problem is that the kind of support necessary to install yourself as a dictator doesn't exist.
This President has whittled down the Federal Government to the bones, is consolidating powers within a few Departments (DHS is getting a lot more authority), firing anyone with a dissenting opinion, and ruling almost exclusively through executive orders. And he still has a 80% approval rating among his party, and the support of most Senators and Representatives within his party--including a man whose personal Cell Phone number he gave out to the public out of spite, a man who he literally said had a small penis during a debate, and a guy who Trump said had an ugly wife and whose father may have killed JFK. Not to mention he called them all losers and failures a dozen times over. The party in question has a majority in the House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and the office of the President.

What support is lacking again?

We wouldn't get cancelled elections.

Russia has 'elections', Turkey just had their 'referendum'.

Trump wouldn't outright cancel elections he would horribly abuse his powers as president to disadvantage any candidate running against him. Like perhaps some newly appointed head of the FBI informs the public in the run-up to election time of all these various investigations being launched into Trump's political opponent or the Sessions run Justice Department conveniently bringing federal charges against Trump's challenger.

He's taking the institutions that have been integral in preserving our democracy and corrupting them in the most insidious way possible. The greatest domestic threat to our nation since the Civil War.

Even if nothing gets much worse from the situation now, you basically need to clean house of everyone you can that was brought in by Trump. Day one, everyone gone.
Well, as long as they don't send them letters telling them they expect them to be gone on inauguration day, that would just be beyond the pale and what a dictator does right?

Quote
If the justice department fails than it all rests squarely on the shoulders of the intelligence community. Massive leaks to the news media or more drastic and hands on actions in their part, we will see.
Yes, yes, we need the intelligence community to get more "hands on" with domestic politics.

GAF stops them.

Why bother with physical exertion and human interaction when you can get all your endorphin needs and brownie points from the GAF feedback loop?

You can even safely "punch that Nazi" from behind the keyboard when you treat every wrong-thinker like they are Richard Spencer's alt and "mods-help" them into oblivion.

Convince yourself that GAF has some actual social influence outside of the people that look on in amusement or look in to feed their own superiority complex, and you can even feel like you are making the world a better place!

I could really get behind a Sally Yates presidential run in 2020. Most other candidates poligaf has mentioned are boring. Of course it depends on many factors and what her actual positions would be. However, she was sharp and delivered pinpointed answers. She stood her ground very impressively. Truthfully, I feel someone like her could shut Trump down in a debate rather easily given how well she did with the Republicans bullshittery.

He's running from his own shadow.

In RPG terms. Trump has been hit with a toxic dart that will drain his HP until he's dead unless he can cure it with a specific herb item.

Instead he's just drinking health potions, boosting his HP for a it slows the toxicity for a moment then it starts to drain again.

Reninds me of, was it blighttown? In dark souls. Just like that.
I...I need this kind of breakdown on gaf for all political events going forward. Especially the head spinning circus that is our American politics.

What game did more damage to the Sonic franchise? Shadow or Sonic 2006?

Both games coming out within a year of each other wasn't really a good time for the Sonic franchise. But what was that did more damage? Was it Shadow the Hedgehog (which is why they started giving Sonic games bad review scores) or was it Sonic 2006?

Personally, I'd say Sonic 2006 did the most damage, largely because I remember it was being hyped as the big apology for Shadow the Hedgehog but instead we got.... well, we all know how it goes.

I was thinking of going to Tokyo later this year but someone reminded me that there's radiation problems there due to the nuclear power plant incident from a few years ago.

They said it was still dangerous to visit. Even if exposure isn't a problem, the food could be contaminated.

Now I've decided I'm 100% not going. It's just not worth the risk. I can go somewhere else. But I wanted to get people's opinions on this.

I just wanted to visit DisneySea because I heard it was the best Disney park in the world but now I won't ever get to see it?

of course the president has the ability to hire and fire the FBI directory. That is not at issue here. Its the optics of it. It doesnt look good, at all, when the person investigating someone else is fired by that someone else. If you can't see how that isn't exactly a good look, I dont know what to tell you.
okay, now, i won minor league poligaf, with an assist

As things are, I'm the sole interface between the ad operations folks who are managing the day to day ad deployment and looking into the bad ad reports, and this thread where you're highlighting these concerns to me and to them. I try to keep tabs on the status in here and note when something out of the ordinary is occurring that could indicate a widespread issue with a bad ad campaign so that I can follow up on it myself, but the baseline of isolated reports that come in no matter what creates a signal:noise problem with this thread.

I mean, benji, this shit is fucking catastrophic for democracy.  You aren't the least bit worried?
I have spent my entire life watching every administration shred the rule of law and further the military-administrative-police state which deploys actual and metaphorical violence both at home and globally often to intentionally thwart democracy. And I've learned about more of them both American and foreign, both past and present than I probably care to even try and illustrate or wish I have.

The President firing a Presidential appointee because the President is a moron influenced by the political talking heads doesn't bother me half as much as paranoid slacktivists which truly only make me enjoy myself reading their garbage because I can't be assed to take boring political-sports shit half as seriously as they pretend to care about whatever it is that this is the final line to cross so argle bargle civil war time for violent protest end of democracy blarf narfinagle. Especially when they've spent the last six months calling the exact guy one of the great villains in world history and seemingly everybody has long agreed he's kinda a bit of a management fuckup dating back to Boston.

So worried about this? No. Not at all really. (Especially since I think the "Russian investigation" is an obvious big nothingburger.)

Worried about things in general scope? No. I can only control what I can control as much as I can only speak for myself. And politics, in this manner of the term, just isn't something that's truly important or matters unless you let it.

I post this because I just came back across it and I had described it on here and looked for it or similar off and on, where Penn talks about his experience with Trump on the Apprentice and why it showed him Trump was horrible and how Trump turned on him personally (starting about four minutes in), and it also relates here in that Penn is constantly called an optimist by people and by Gillespie here too but I think we have similar views in that regard in that we don't really see it as optimism but a form of cynical inquisitiveness:

edit: That's part of why I always get drawn into and quote on here from GAF threads where people are all "the world is ending, we're all going to die because of [something mundane]" like how many people there constantly refuse to believe that we live better lives than almost anyone else in world history. The fact of posting incessantly on GAF is almost the ultimate evidence proving this. It's some kind of mentality I cannot for the life of me figure out and understand no matter how often I come across it.

edit edit: edit probably should have gone in the spoiler but i didn't fix it just like i didn't put this in there so there

Interesting perspective.  I see what you mean. Sorry for being emotionally reactive to you at times.

I'm not convinced the Russian investigation is a nothingburger, though.  It sounded as though shit was hitting the fan before all of this happened.

Wow, that Black Culture thread is filled with posts name-calling each other and backseat-modding...and only Cindi got banned.  That is pretty fucked up.

The Snowman Prophet of Doom jackass is trying to claim I'm not secretly gaslighting and trolling when I post my opinion that disagrees with most of a thread. Glad somebody here tipped me off about his sneaky tricks.

That's all the threads ever been whenever I've looked at it, bitching about other threads and posters. It's like this thread but actually on GAF. And full of people pretending they're not cacs. And very little Yum! Brands viral marketing.

That has to be something, ANYTHING we can do about all this. I'm tired of just calling people and telling them to vote No on this or Yes on that. There has to be something more.

And yet I'm not hearing a peep from all those Oathkeeper assholes who wouldn't shut up for 8 years about how they were going to overthrow the terrible, constitution-destroying dictator Obama.

Surprise surprise.

I'm not convinced the Russian investigation is a nothingburger, though.  It sounded as though shit was hitting the fan before all of this happened.

Let's be real : Trump's clan is plugging Ivanka products from the White House and almost nakedly selling US Visas (and implied potential access to Jared Kushner) to Chinese millionaires. Trump is too crude & stupid to handle any real spycraft. He really is, at best, the "useful idiot" in the literal sense if even that : it seems he might be as weak, indecisive and impulsive about Russia than he is with most other topics (though he obviously has a soft spot for strongmen).
I agree with you there's maybe something to be found here, but probably nothing akin to what some Gaffers have convinced themselves exist.

Would it be inappropriate to point out that KFC is a yum brands company? 👀
