Roman Polanski is a convicted child rapist and he's got to make movies till he dies. Even being a known nonce wouldn't have put Milo out of commission if certain people controlling the output hadn't collectively decided it was so. Not to be glib, but... yo...

I don't mean to come off like an expert but I thought he went on some podcast and ran his mouth and that was it for him Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, did himself no favours when he was eventually allowed on Question Time.

Genuine question, I’m curious b/c my only view into this is from the outside. But looking from the outside, it seems there was a rejection of extreme maga n the midterms… which is great but maybe not enough yet. Individual MAGAts weren’t covered extensively by the media like Trump and Trump himself has always outperformed his endorsements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade1865 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Quote Going back to this Emory was by all accounts an alcoholic, which is why his marriage fell apart and his wife moved back to England with the kids. So yeah, that massive argument between his parents probably really happened. Anyway, there's a story of an expert level player challenging Emory to play a few blitz games for money. The expert felt this was a good idea, because Emory was clearly intoxicated and had a bottle of whiskey in hand. He invited spectators to join the show hustling the great Emory Tate out of money. The story went like this, Emory poured himself glass after glass, while cleaning out that big mouth. In the end the other guy had to walk away in humiliation with Tate yelling after him to come back, when he had the money to play some more. There might be some exaggeration in this tale, as stories tend grow over time, but I have little doubt that a drunk Emory Tate hustled some big mouthed moron out of his money is true. @A Horse Named Stranger -- [pulled from the other thread]. It’s an interesting story, thanks! Exaggerated or not, the story gives additional insight on how Andrew was socialized, and why he turned out so ambitious. Notable is that he seems to have outsized influence. More, that such a niche personality captured so much attention, globally. I’ll be following this to it’s conclusion!

I guess as long as you think the people that clawed their way to the apex of your favored party are Good People, there's nothing to worry about. Because there's a whole lot of lying and spreading hate going on right now. On 12/30/2022 at 6:15 PM, Deadlines? What Deadlines? said: Yeah, very graphic. Don't make it not true. Extortion is more likely I think. Tons of softball interviews too. "Hey Mr. Trump, you must be having so much fun." Whereas Bernie Sanders gets on CNN and they open with, "So tell us how you're not like Stalin." or some such. https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/12/03/how-media-iced-out-bernie-sanders-helped-donald-trump-win Lol. The biggest area where Sanders and Trump overlap is populism. Saying the media suppressed Sanders to elect Trump? No. The media suppressed Sanders and magnified Trump because they wanted Clinton and wrongly thought that was the path. (Though to be more accurate the media doesn't support anyone, they obey their billionaire owners or get throttled down.) They were just wrong about either what the people thought or what the fraudsters were prepared to deliver for the establishment uniparty circa 2016.

Multiple republican senators have stated the US is not a democracy and Trump literally said it’s necessary to disregard the constitution to give him the presidency back. You yourself have shown you will only accept your side’s victories in elections as legitimate—when beaten you immediately cry fraud.
