I feel her pain.

for the most part, Blacks re not being treated wrong.

She is talking with respect to the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.


Apparently the cops were on another issue and say this guy was in his car handling some pot. The cops did not do anything until they saw him handling a gun. Cops left, got back up and came back.



The gun did have the victims prints on it.
Officers were cleared of any wrong doing.
Charlotte is a liberal Sanctuary city..

Bottom line Obey the cops.

Come on... when's the last time you were in a brawl? Have seen lots of guys go down with less than that, caused a few of 'em too. A guy back home (Mike Lubbock) was about 6' 1" tall, big broad shoulders and barrel chest, would sooner fight than eat and used to win most of the time. Unless you caught him just below the right cheek bone, and he'd drop like a soft rag. Usually woke up after a minute or two. The Metheral brothers were about the same, and so was Keith Verstagen. Doesn't take a serious medical condition, just one of those things.

I totally agree, John Bonham was a totally amazing drummer and his untimely death was such a loss to music; as were the early deaths of Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix. I would love to have heard how their music evolved.

There are few drummers in the world that can compare to John Bonham, one of those few is Neil Peart of the Canadian rock legends RUSH. There was a article a few years back in Rolling Stone magazine which listed him as number 4 (Bonham was number 1!!). I think Keith Moon was second, although I don't know why. Peart is far better!! I can't remember who was third.

Thank you for this Oritteropo! Keep the beat mate!

Actually, at 1:38 that's Keith Ellison, a DFL congressman from MN. Interesting that the one dem shown getting it right is the sole Muslim in congress.

@newtboy
you misunderstood.

respectable investigative journalists gain that respect by being consistent with their reporting.

chris hedges is such a journalist.

but,by your metric,him being on RT negates that respect.now this is an assumption on my part,but i am using your words to come to that assumed conclusion.you have yet to agree or disagree with what chris hedges is saying,choosing instead to attack the medium in which he is saying it.this is your right,i just happen to disagree with you on this matter.

i refer back to one of my original comments,and a point i tried (and i guess failed?) to reiterate:discernment is the key.

so in a sense..yes..it is our responsibility to do our due diligence to vette the veracity of an investigative reporter.

those "reporters" who shill for either the democrats or republicans reveal themselves as the whores they are fairly quickly.

demagogues can almost be instantly identified due to their constant appeals to emotion.(keith olbermans new youtube channel from GQ "the resistance" comes to mind).

and reporters who are simply bad or lazy are quickly revealed as well.by other reporters.

let's take @bcglorf review of chomsky,and how chomsky is singular in his constant criticism of american foreign policy and asks the question "why can't he,just for once,speak on the positives that america has done in the world,or speculate on what could have happened had american not intervened in third world country A or B".(paraphrased)

now this is not an entirely unfair question,and in chomsky's books..he does address the very specifics that bcglorf would like to see chomsky address,but in lectures you are lucky to get a sentence in regards to such subjects.

but notice that while bcglorf would like to see chomsky speak in more broad terms,he never once questions the veracity of the details chomsky is laying down.

do you know why?
because chomsky does his homework,and backs up everything he says.

bcglorf respects chomsky for this,while simultaneously wishing he changed the channel once in awhile.

bcglorf utilized discernment to come to the conclusion that chomsky is a worthy,if infuriating,read/listen.

i do not mean to be speaking for Bc,and maybe i am missing the mark by a long shot using him as an example (if i did,please forgive Bc).

but my basic point is that we ALL discriminate and discern using our own subjective tools,our experiences and ultimately our understandings.

the problem here,and it is the underlying message on this thread,is confirmation bias.

we all know about this,and this election cycle REALLY brought this up to the forefront.

what i find interesting,and always makes me giggle,is how people will point to the "mainstream media" as an outlet for:propaganda,fake news,biased and slanted news ..but..it is NEVER the news THEY consume.the news THEY consume is hard hitting journalism.

so when i see people dismiss a piece that may happen to be on a questionable outlet..i laugh..because MOST outlets are ALL questionable.

so yes my friend,it is up to us to discern what is valid and what is bullshit.secondary sources help.concrete,trackable sources help and discussing and talking with one another is probably the greatest help of all.

but if you reside in an echo chamber,and everybody is just smelling each other farts.then some information may come as a shock.

my faith dictates my politics.
i am a dissident,and a radical.
the dynamic is always "power vs powerlessness",and i am always on the side of the powerless.

so it should be no surprise that on my list are people such as chomsky or hedges.

because they criticize power.

Wow I forgot Keith Olbermann has such serious anger issues

Bob doesn't do any of that pesky thinking. He just regurgitates what his bosses tell him to and then moves on.

As far as Trump goes, Keith is spot on yet again. That's why you see Bob propagandizing against him here.

Who the heck watches Keith Olbermann. He was so bad that even MSNBC had to get rid of him .

Looking back on Pie's take on the Brexit vote may be helpful in light of Trump's. There's good discussion there on how the working class has been getting fucked over by years of trickle-down Reaganomics, corporatism, and austerity have played into the UK's vote on Brexit.

The same groups in the US have chosen Trump over Clinton's faux-left elitism.

By contrast, Keith Oberman lists reasons to be outraged by Trump,

which plays well into CGP Grey's theory on memes and anger:

Hey, looks like political media coverage is getting fun again. So much angry shouting, I haven't seen that since George W.'s time in office.
I just hope Keith Olberman doesn't get a new job, I enjoyed his talking whale too much.

One for your collection (nsfw/graphic!):
