Orange Time

[The Outsider]

Bottom post of the previous page:

I don't think you need to be an ally or whatever, but you really want to equate that shit with people who outright say their existence is an affront against some sort of Sky Daddy and that they shouldn't be able to exist in the way that they feel is true to themselves?

Google, Microsoft, and Apple are all giant corporations. The people who matter inside of those corporations are more often than not conservative. Any sort of 'woke' shit they do is a business decision (because guess what, tolerance and shit is more popular than being a chud) but they wouldn't do anything if they didn't think it would make them money.

CNN is owned by a Trump donator. ABC is owned by Disney, more liberal than most but definitely not a bastion of liberal ideas. The Freedom Caucus wants to outlaw certain types of human beings, the Squad more or less attempts to push progressive policies that would be beneficial to marginalized groups (and occasionally says really fucking stupid shit, looking at you Tlaib) but AOC in particular is in a completely different stratosphere of being a politician and policymaker than a single individual in the Freedom Caucus. The quad also has demonstrably less pedophile sex traffickers.

No, I don't think being mildly annoyed at "woke" initiatives in the same ballpark as their (wrong pronoun, I'm sure) existence being offensive and they (did it again) should be snuffed out. Then again, I do not see that type of comment that often but also tune out as soon as an article goes down that road. And trust me, the Religious Right is just as annoying with their unbelievable hypocrisy.

CNN owned by Trump donator or not, they do lean left but not nearly as much as they were during Trump / Covid Years.

100% agree with the business decision comment regarding woke initiatives. Same thing the banks / financial institutions did during occupy Wall Street. I have long been a proponent that private businesses can do, cater to whatever / whomever they like. I still don't get the whole Boycott Bud Light / Target thing recently. Very easy to just not shop at a store or purchase a product without making a big production out of it.

I'm one of 'those people' so I take it very seriously when anyone with more power than me says they don't believe I have a right to exist.

The Florida judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents trial dismissed the case against the former president Monday on the grounds that the appointment of and funding for special counsel Jack Smith was illegal.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee to the bench, said in her 93-page decision that Smith's appointment was "unlawful" and unconditional.

The decision came on the first day of the Republican National Convention, and following an assassination attempt on the former president over the weekend.

Naked partisanship. Just full throated corruption on display here.

I was there the day Trump killed the Republic.


(This is a repurposed Warhammer 40k quote do not take this too seriously.)

Understood. Just for the record (again), I am a simple man. My core values are: Do whatever you like, with whomever you like in the privacy of your own home. As long as all consents and no children are being harmed, bang away. None of my bitness.

My uncle who like my Pops is also a Woodstock Hippie and most likely would get along with Comrade swimmingly... He was progressive back when it wasn't a thing. We chat like once a week and somehow got into immigration discussion and my take was the same as his; you don't see a lot of pale faces working 2-3 stories up, roofing a building. Especially during the summer. Landscaping is not as prevalent but the point being is that I can't and won't argue that immigrants do a lot of shit in this country that Americans born in this country think they are too good for and definitely too soft to do. My issue is with the "short term" cost of illegal immigration.

Shit, forgot to address Outtie's Squad take. As far as AOC, she is a shit representative and I won't be convinced otherwise, However, she is attractive, very popular and has a huge social media following. I feel she would be far more effective working for a Super Pac or some sweet lobbying gig on K Street.

It also pains me to say that I do find myself agreeing with some Omar's foreign policy positions.

It is so great that Xers are still the forgotten generation. People now are either a Boomer, Millennial, Z and whatever is next.

But to be fair, you are a Chud.

You guys aren't forgotten. It's just that the most influential and visible of your generation have gone so Boomer-lite that it's almost indistinguishable.
