Festering, sure, but I think you guys underestimate how many have been recruited via social media and with effective use of other wedge issues.


Believe me, I dont underestimate that. I understand how white supremacists use the internet to spread their influence

But also you have to take into account that a lot of the people they are recruiting are in other countries also so they wouldnt technically count for this

Like is there more bigotry in America today than in the 60s or anytime prior? Probably not

But anytime between then and now I would listen to arguments about how it receded and then re-ignited.

I just think it never left

I don't think so. There's always been a ton of bigotry in America. I've felt it as a minority since childhood, and I can sometimes KINDA SORTA PASS AS WHITE. The seemingly endless throng of loudmouths on social media these days are just a tiny percentage of the whole.


Nikki Haley told me America isnt racist

Not to defend Tucker, and not that I am going to sit there and watch whatever bizarre take he really has on it, but if anyone didn't expect something like this to eventually happen at these riots, they're crazy. I'm frankly surprised it took this long.


Its the framing that the murderer was maintaining order thats the problem here.

Trump is now issuing a pardon for an explicitly political purpose, leading into tonight's convention programming:

https://abc7.com/politics/trump-to-highlight-bank-robbers-pardon-at-rnc/6388841/

This is just sick.


Sounds like the guy deserves to be pardoned at least

On the scale of Trump scandals this is near the most benign

I wouldnt even call it anything outside the ordinary for any President

The source matters, because if you post news from a bad source, even if it happens to be legitimate, you're contributing to the legitimization the organization as a whole. In Corrik's case, he regularly goes out of his way to post news from traditionally right-wing propaganda organizations (in this case, Fox News or the Daily Mail or Andy Ngo), and it's bad to normalize the use of such sources.


Well, in particular I would warn against using Andy Ngo as a source for violent protest footage, because hes mostly noteworthy for spreading lies about violent protests.

That Tim Scott claim was weird til I processed it. He said he was the first African American elected to the house and the Senate. Took me awhile to process he meant both. I am actually surprised if that is true. That said, he hit Biden hard on some race things.



Why would that surprise you to be true? There have only been 10 black Senators ever

You know they said they were bringing back Talking Smack as a last ditch to keep Renee Young around. But she's smart enough to know that last time they ended up literally on the whim of Vince McMahon and there's nothing stopping him from just ending it for no reason again.

Kayla Braxton is hosting though.


With Renee and Cathy gone, Kayla is now the best person in that role

To the delight of Billie Kay Im sure

Ahahaha

WWE bought all the Stampede Wrestling stuff, but then after the sale they realized that Bret Hart had bought all the Stampede Wrestling matches and segments and such with him in it. So they have to not include everything with Bret Hart in Stampede Wrestling and Bret realized they've been using Stampede Wrestling footage of him in other stuff, which he told them not to do, so that's why they're removing everything on the WWE Network with Bret Hart now.

How does all of that even happen?


Thats been known for years, but if things are just getting pulled now it must mean Bret revoked permission

I wonder what happened
