The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

[actaeon277]

So that's what that song is about.

politicians? or divorce?

 

[nonobaddog]

It seems to cover both.

 

[jamil]

Woke.
Conflate.

Since I learned they were your most favorite words I’ve been trying to use them more. Obviously I need to try harder.

 

[nonobaddog]

Not really political but Simone Biles is competing in the US Championships Friday evening so if you want to see the best ever it is on NBCSN.
She has a goat on her leotard and I don't think any athlete has ever deserved it more. She is the Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky of women's gymnastics.

Joe Biden slip-up in Iowa tonight.

"Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

Yikes...have fun mitigating that one.

 

[nonobaddog]

It's OK, he's a dumocrap.

Wut?

 

[jamil]

Wut?

Kinda funny how he realized after he said it, that he done ****ed up and needed to turn it around. Wonder if he ever goes home after these things and really questions the universe why he can't stop himself from saying really stupid things.

 

[Leadeye]

Maybe Joe's best speeches are the ones he lifts from other people.

 

[jamil]

Maybe Joe's best speeches are the ones he lifts from other people.

At least then, if he stays on script, he at least has a chance not to say something stupid. I mean. It's plausible that someone he would copy didn't say anything stupid.

 

[printcraft]

Wut?

Poor has a color apparently. Also, white is never poor.

I do still wonder what the breakdown is on clean and articulate vs. 7-11 ownership.

Sounds like privilege to think in such a way... oh wait, there's no such thing.

 

[T.Lex]

Can someone enlighten me about the picture-with-an-orphan thing?

I mean, if the Trumps were unaware that the baby had lost both parents in the shooting, then the expressions make complete sense.

As social media can tend to do, it seems like something has gone viral that isn't really what it looks like.

 

[printcraft]

Or narrow world view. I'm not sure Biden knows anybody in fly over country.

Oh, wait... Joe knows this girl from Iowa...

Is Joe Biden privileged? Yeah. Is every white person privileged? Well, racists think so.

 

[Kutnupe14]

The nuances of his statement eludes you. But that's exactly the way it works.... though, Printcraft got it.

 

[jamil]

No. I don’t think so. Perhaps you’re eager to see these nuances which allow you to maintain a certain worldview, that allow you to excuse behavior in some people that you wouldn’t excuse in others. You know. So you can vote for the one while thinking the other is racist. Could be that.
