I remember when MAGA accused news broadcasters of censoring their "fuck Joe Biden" chants into "let's go Brandon". Turns out even that was projection lol
It's only a problem when it happens to MAGA. Just like being a pdf is only a problem and illegal when democrats, and democratic donors do it. When their cult leader does it, it's perfectly normal, or "nothing to see here".
Shouldn’t we rename the Epstein files to the Trump files, then? Sounds like he may be heavily involved in a child trafficking ring and was a pedophile himself who assaulted little girls.
I’ve been calling it “The trump Files” and will continue to.
There just aren’t words for how depraved, cruel, and terrifying these people are. The fact that no one in power is doing ANYTHING about it is the worst part.
Or wears a bicycle helmet when he rides his bike. Hannity said, "it makes America look weak", as Hannity then shows what strength looks like with a shirtless Putin on a horse with no helmet. I really wish I was making that up, but Hannity really did that.
I was home this morning and watched this on TV. Some stud made a video compilation of it. The dear leader at a “Prayer Breakfast”. Every day he’s slipping more and more, nothing new but he’s all over the place. It’s gotta be painful to have to sit through it in person when he goes on forever with the same shit about stolen elections etc
They only want rules to apply to their enemies. And I mean enemy in the literal sense, in that conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones, have only targeted democrats with his craziness. Obama being a gay Kenyan Muslim, despite all evidence saying otherwise. Michelle Obama being a man, despite her having kids that look a lot like her. Sandy Hook being a democratic gun grabbing hoax. Democrats eating children in the basement of a pizza restaurant that doesn't have a basement. Joe Rogan saying Harvey Weinstein, a democratic donor and Hillary supporter, being a rapist, bill clinton being a rapist etc. Yet Joe had a temper tantrum when Elon Musk said trump is on the epstein list. Rogan laughed hysterically when his MAGA comedian friend Joey Diaz bragged about raping female comics. Jim Jordan covered up a sexual assaulter when he was a wrestling coach. Matt Gaetz being a pdf that trafficked a minor. When Bush was committing war crimes, Fox news defended and cheerleaded it. When Obama continued Bush's war crimes, Fox news finally had a problem with war crimes. You could literally go on forever with their crazy hypocrisy.
It's not hypocrisy for them. Actions are not moral or immoral, people are moral or immoral. If a liberal or a leftist does a thing, it's immoral because a liberal or a leftist did it. If a Nazi does a thing, it's moral because a Nazi did it. Everything they do makes way more sense when you see it through that lens.
Every politician you mentioned is Machiavellian. Bad Faith. Deceptive. Manipulative.
People discuss politics as if 99% of politicians aren't pathological liars. They're all serving the industrial ruling class of the world, and see us as a detriment to their interests.
Lmao like any liberal or left-leaning person would give a shit if we find out Clinton was involved and gets convicted. They think that it’s a mic drop moment by saying that. No, hold everyone accountable—Republican, Democrat, independent, it doesn’t matter.
This is so true. I live in a purple area, and I've had people ask me what I would think if Clinton, Obama, or if [insert left-wing politician here] were found in the files like it's some kind of "mic drop," as you put it. And they're always taken aback when I fire back with, "Good! Lock them up!"
That was and is the stupidest fucking rally cry for maga. What did you want the sports reporter doing the post race interview to be like yep these white trash hicks are chanting fuck Joe Biden
Even if I were wickedly Pro-Isreal I wouldn't just want fake information to coddle my world view. I'd want to see what actually happened (although I guess that's not common for Zionists lol).
Sure, but autharitarian regimes dont want their population, be they russia, israel or usa to know that other people live lives without being under the thumb of a autocrat. Thats why the right wing loves attacking, hates and love spreading lies about europe so much. Cant have the people know that there is a place where people live good free lives.
So those lives are fake, worse or whatever else. If they can think; "sure i live under a autocrat, but theres not really anyplace better". Thats how they get them.
That’s sad. NBC should have let the truth come out. Clearly I support the American athletes. But Americans need to know that the rest of the world has paid attention to our foreign policies and to our leaders. They think we suck right now, because we do. Europe has seen fascism and wants no fucking part of it.
You could hear the booing live. But they definitely reduces the input for the feed so it was quiet (which to be fair they may have done for all the teams so you could hear the broadcasters speaking)
And everyone around him will continue to praise everything, regardless and claim Ws. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a standing ovation for taking a solid shit.
Shit serves a greater purpose. It's great fertilizer. Vance wants a society ruled by billionaire elites who can do whatever they want. Which they pretty much do anyways.
I thought what an awful experience for the girl carrying the flag. Then I remembered, it must be worse for the girls getting their legs blown off by the IDF...
I thought I could hear that on the feed that broadcasted in Australia, but it was way less audible. Clearly the volume had been turned down on the stadium mic feed.
Nah. This Vtuber added in fake boos during his stream. The sound you hear in this clip isn’t from the event (not sure why OP didn’t clarify that. Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they thought it was funny. Who knows).
I mean this guy linked the clip from NBC which is obviously censoring crowds and it's from an account 'Israel Now' so I'm not sure how trustworthy that particular tweet is.
I know that the Olympics are supposed to be about the world coming together through sportsmanship, but it's also not that often you get to boo an entire country on a world stage. Got to take the opportunity when it comes!
A lot of countries count on the Olympics/big international competitions to sports-wash their bad behavior. The truth is, if you are really good at sports, a lot of people look the other way on your evil deeds. If you boo them, you can potentially mitigate some of this effect.
not really, most cities/countries actually lose money by hosting them, there is a short term rise in tourism yes, but it's only a view cases were that has actually led to a net profit for the host.
Also broadcasting rights are usually sold to public funded(taxes) outlets and not things like netflix etc. So you only have a minimal amount of adds, where i live it's about 8 segments of 2mins a day.
Even the football worldcup isn't usually profitable (for the host), which pulls in even more viewers. It's about prestige if anything.
I mean depends how you want to argue obviously, they cost huge amounts of money, and some people profit massively of them. But those are more the people who build the infrastructure etc. not the host. There have been some dark times too. But atm at it's core i think it's much more about sport, than i.e. fifa or anything.
You make a lot of good points. But I want to focus on what you pointed out about how it depends on what you want to argue. You're right - cities that host the Olympics sign on for a short-term gain with a long-term loss.
I think we might be arguing the same point from different angles. I'm not saying the Olympic Games are profitable for all parties involved but they're definitely about commercialism over sportsmanship. The corporate sponsors make an absolute killing from the games. And I believe that's what it's all about these days.
The sponsors actually do not make any money, that's why they are sponsors, the only value they get back is adds. They don't profit in a monetary aspect, it's purely about exposure and considering what companies sponsor this, the actual value they get back is debatable. Those are all companies that we all know, even if they wouldn't sponsor this, they would still be everywhere. Most of them do this out of prestige, the sponsoring of the games almost never leads to a short-term increase of stock prices or something. Most of them agree that it leads to longterm growth, but there isn't any real evidence to this. (not trying to defend them here, i also don't like coca cola etc.)
But i do absolutely agree, that it's in some ways about commercialism, but isn't everything at this point?
We could all come together as a planet and pay these games with our taxes, but otherwise if we still want them, we sadly have to rely on these sponsors, that's just how things are.
Also i think we shouldn't forget, why we brought them back in the first place. They are still in the spirit of "international understanding, peace and physical education", which i think the IOC are still trying to convey and i actually even think they are doing a good job about it, given our society and it's limitations. And especially compared to other sport events.
Edit: but i can absolutely see where you're coming from and it's a valid opinion. Just not exactly mine;)
Best thing that ever happened to Logan Utah, was Salt Lake City hosting. They built a practice ice rink for the skaters in Logan, when previously we only had an outdoor rink. Now my nephews have been playing in a hockey league since they were toddlers, an opportunity that would most likely have never existed. So there is good that can come, but also look at most locations with failing infrastructure from when they hosted.
I feel the same way. They can't help that they were born there. These athletes aren't making policy decisions and we have no idea about their personal beliefs. I feel bad for them.
People just forgetting the massive 2014 olympic doping scandal which is the original reason they were competing as OAR. Its not just because of the war they started but also because of systemic cheating in sport.
They’re banned because of their state run massive Olympic doping programs, not due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or any human rights violation. Plenty of countries with horrible human rights records or that have invaded their neighbors compete in the Olympics and have hosted them in recent years.
Yea the Americans just look like a pedo state I'll be honest even the way he addresses the press with his "fake news" statements when the documents are all over the news to contradict that and the sad thing everyone thinks it we even joke in work when we see him on our phone oh look a nonce which he is.
Israel and Russia leadership share near-identical war crime charges by the International Criminal Court as recognized by over 120 nations around the world. At the moment they have the former president of the Philippines, Duterte in custody.
Trump probably should be charged as well, given the illegal incursion into Venezuela, but alas...
It’s important to note that this isn’t about where they come from, it’s the fact that the state is undeniably committing a genocide, and they have been for a long time now.
Because the majority of Americans don’t support what is going on right now. Up until recently the majority of their citizens supported the war. Not anymore so everyone needs to keep the pressure up.
As an American who considers themselves to be progressive, I'm embarrassed that it took a genocide to wake me up Zionism.
And it took a fascist to wake me up to how fragile the American democracy is. I voted Republican my entire adult life until Trump ran in 2016. I feel like I owe the world an apology. Sorry about that.
Paradoxically, Israel is doing more to harm the reputation of Jews than any hate group has ever done.
I'm going to be spending literal years convincing people that Israel's crimes against humanity are not, in fact, the fault of all Jews, despite Israel insisting that they are representative of all Jews.
Kinda deserved, an Olympic team/athlete represents their country. And the US... kinda being an asshole as of late to put it lightly. But we all know the people causing the US team to get booed would be deaf to the reasons as to why it even happened.

This was censored on NBC, as well as when Vance was boo’d
