US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Lorne Armstrong]

I believe it was confirmed that the New Orleans terrorist came to America through Mexico.

Nope. The truck he was driving was a rental, and a previous renter crossed the border with it back in Nov.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Put on the burger suit. Now.

Does this suffice? Also, major props to @Fatpacks for finally putting on the burger suit.

@Fatpacks Thank you for bringing some mirth today of all days, really rough one with what happened and we needed it. In honor of what you did, @Hey Johnny Bravo i'm sorry for getting salty with you and being a lot ruder than I meant too. Truce?

I accept your apology and your truce.

Johnny is a big boy. You can call him a retarded niggerfaggot and he’ll still have a cold one with you.

I am a teetotaler, but yeah. This is a gossip website. The only users I genuinely despise are the ones who forego all attempts at being funny and insult me/others over and over (e.g. Queesechake).

I didn't know Mrs. Bravo was a nun.

She was a race car driver during the Vietnam War. Mama said there were no men around to burn rubber.

 

[Nihil Jung]

There you go, that's all the evidence I need to seal the border.

 

[The Last Stand]

Great job with fatpacks.

That being said, you're new here. If you think TLS is ever going to have a pfp that isn't a mid-century starlet, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn going for a great price.

I'll take one Brooklyn Bridge, if you would be so kind. Honk honk!

I give you points for taking the time to make something for me. I EAT burgers; I don't WEAR them.

I really don't want to have to make a Chairman Burger edit. You can't make me do it!

How about a grilled chicken sandwich?

What was the reason it was locked?

tl;dr: too heated
1. There were people "white knighting" and defending Trump against all criticism which goes against the forum policy of lolcows
2. There were people constantly posting outright fiction (knowingly or unknowingly), which is inappropriate for a thread that is supposed to document real criticism
3. Massive fighting between groups of 1 and 2 that was bleeding out to other threads and people's profile pages
4. As Trump is president-elect, some caution needs to be taken on posting things that may be outright slander as we do not need another party with a lot of power invested in shutting down the farms. I think that's why we don't have BlackRock or Soros threads.

It might be possible to split the thread in two like the Russian-Ukraine thread, where one thread is for posting with feelings and one is for posting with facts, bit that would be difficult to moderate.

...I'm guessing.

Would it? The Russia and Ukraine threads seem to manage themselves without major issue. If the anti-Trump people want to make their own general thread that is negative of Trump and Republicans, I don't think there are any rules to stop them. I don't mind them posting here, to be honest, but what pisses me off is when they pointlessly doompost for pages, call everyone who disagrees with them a race they don't like, and ignore the obvious fact that this thread is pro-Trump - and has been for months.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

We already have such split threads. The TDS and the TES threads.

I have EXCELLENT news, Betonhaus, by time he's put into office, he'll have his own dedicated thread to talk about him again.

The USPG thread after this one.

As Johnny's pointed out and acts as example of, that idea isn't for everyone. Not everyone can appreciate drive-by autistic monkey screeching from people hopped up on internet anonymity, kayfabe, and the thrill of calling someone a swarthoid retard.

Not everyone can resist the urge to commit drive-by autistic monkey screeching while hopped up on internet anonymity, kayfabe, and the thrill of calling someone a swarthoid retard.

I however, observe like a giddy man on Safari when someone does a drive-by autistic monkey screeching while hopped up on internet anonymity, kayfabe, and the thrill of calling someone a swarthoid retard. It's going to be a great time!

There are naysayers who constantly derail threads and stir up chaos regarding Trump. Valid criticisms of Trump exist, just articulate them properly instead of retarded baiting and ad hominem attacks against users. Given the amount of attention Orange Man gets both positive and negative, I would be okay with locking the DJT tread until 2028 and moving it to something like mass-debates or the general politics forum. Biden doesn't really have a big thread except this one.

There's like two open Trump threads

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

This is pretty much my opinion; and, if you're going to do drive-by shitposts, at least be funny about it and take the shit you get in return with some class. The whole "I'm going to shitpost and then dig my heels in and insult anyone who points this out for 12 pages" is not amusing.

sorry @Fatpacks you really came through

Social credit score here we come.

The Chinese got the idea for a social credit score from the Americans.

The Americans call it a credit score.

I'm not sure if locking the DJT thread is the best idea. I don't want this thread to be flooded with the naysayers you speak of. I don't think the sensible users of this thread want to have sift through the baiting and shit posting for actually good political discussion.

Apologies for my poor grammar, but I hope my point is still clear.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

I guess we're doing burgers now as a meme/inside joke.

I don't get it.

It's been locked since nov 6, tho i'd say most of the true regulars have just migrated to the TES thread. There's still a few stragglers starting shit here but barring them they are contained.

The funny thing about that at least is you can make the masters seethe here impotently VS denying you so much as a bus pass if you don't participate in the credit system and somehow find success. A few people I've worked with in the past would rather proverbially sleep on a bench than play the gay credit score rain dance with loans for their own sake and credit card juggling and money still thankfully talks.

The credit score is still incredibly yiddish and a retarded metric in general though.
