Yeah OK..... In a July 13, 2023, episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk explicitly stated that prominent Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson "do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously" and thus "had to go steal...

He ironically and unintentionally backed up my point that people will frame what's been said through their prior political biases and be certain they are 100% right without any actual hard evidence. TBF EDF, you've been coming across as a bit of a white twat lately. Take it on the chin and move on....

Genuinely one of the all time greats of Cinema. He did it his way too. RIP Robert Redford!

That's supposed to be an argument? Simple politics to attack other races, immigrants and LGBT community. Appeals to the uneducated. Pretty much all republican states TBH. https://media.tenor.com/MzdaVQY6BkQAAAAM/bryan-cranston-tony-awards.gif EDF is not white. Shush! Let him continue to make a fool...

It's also worthwhile to point out that his 'being polite' is a rhetorical tactic. He's there to influence opinions and appearing calm and reasonable makes his arguments seem more acceptable to many. He was clearly skilled at debating. Oh no doubt he was aiming purely to win people over. But isn't t...

So what twat? Politeness and civility have always been intertwined with racist politics in the US. After Reconstruction, white elites in the South framed white supremacy as the basis for “order” and “civility.” Segregation laws were justified on that basis. During the 1950s–60s, critics of the civi...

Broadly speaking he was polite and friendly in all his debate videos to his opponents who weren't al polite to him. That's not to say debates did get into blunt vocal fights or he didn't take the piss out of his opponents politics but you can't say he went round being nasty to people he met. You ca...

Given that he's a groyper, it's highly likely he isn't left leaning at all but social media and 4Chan would have warped his views in this way. Just odd how the American conservatives have turned their wrath at the education system, like there's a team of beret wearing socialists waiting at the entr...

Right. So he was very kind behind closed doors. Loved his dog apparently. But abhorrent and hateful in public?

He's still leaning heavily on the conservative thought bubble that going to university made him a crazed leftist.

But people are flawed, have flawed beliefs but that isn't close to the total sum of his character. by all accounts he always treated people well and always reached out to people who held differing views of him.

:lol: Kirk was a grifter. He was doing it to make money. It's why his videos always show him "owning the libs" and never showed clips of him getting schooled. Guy was in it for the cash, so is his wife if the creepy mourning videos are anything to go by. I'd also suggest attacking his wife for how ...

Labour starting to tear themselves apart. Graham Springer MP, giveing Starmer an ultimatum on BBC 5live to explain himself, says the foreign office knew all about Mandelson before Starmer stood up on Wednesday and defended him. Says Starmer has a matter of months (8 months he says) to sort things o...

They have an Xg of 8.46 but have only scored 4 so they simply aren't finishing chances.

The only side remotely near is Leeds stats wise.

Which is crazy given they just spent some 200 million on attacking players.

Who do they go for now? It seems every manager they get only makes the situation worse. They haven't finished with a goal difference in the positive for 3 seasons now.

Well their URC teams aren't digging up trees in Europe... not even close to winning the Champions Cup. Which they should be challenging for in finals every year with their talent. Hard to tell what their Super Teams would be like now if still in Super Rugby... but before the exodus, when the Boks w...

This is pretty much bang on. Both sides hoping he bats for the other team, in reality he was a shitposting groyper. So not Left or Right.. just a radicalised Nihilist? Pretty much.

Yeah, I don't really give a fudge if he was friendly in private. He was disingenuous and argued abhorrent views, with little regard for others welfare. I disagree. I think he thought he was doing it because he thought he was doing good. Which we can both disagree, but most partisan politicians tend...

ruby tui has been on every england game. bbc has no doubt paid her a large fee and they think everyone adores her- but personally I would prefer not to see someone so firmly in the kiwi camp and desperate for them to win, on every england game.

All I can say is, I said all the way though Fozzie's tenure he wasn't doing a bad job, it's just the All Blacks don't have the cattle they once did, much of the current generation are overrated (Remember when people claimed Barrett was better than Carter?) and much of the rest of the world learned ...

Can't believe Starmer tried to hang onto Mandelson for so long. This is what? He's 3rd or 4th firing from Government for his scandals? I do wonder how and why Mandleson also manages to have such a deep grip on Labour Primer Ministers? Blair tried to keep him twice, Brown employed him after that and ...

Foster was terrible. Razor has been another step down. Nonsense. Tbf there hasn't been a discernible improvement in selection, tactics performance or results.
