A bit off topic but since this is the hot topic I figure it's the best place to share it.
"There is some super heavy shit going down in the world right now. I don't need to pile-on and write some piece of shit article to create another snazzy social media "headline" for people to click on and fucking "like.""
*hits like/share button*
+ he shares my Huh?
What a cool guy.
Re: US Politics Thread
This sums up the Trump voters mentality perfectly....
Exactly what I was talking about before. A moderate would've said it sums up both sides pefectly. ON election morning we heard all this peace, love, and unity from Hillary voters "no matter how the election turns out" and then hours later they're spewing continuous venom and acting out with protests and riots.
I can be a moderate and find the Trump voter mentality shallow, narrow minded and ridiculous. When SG says things that are completely ridiculous, it reminds me of the worst of Trump. Comparing a rock star and a US attorney general and saying they have equal impacts on people's lives is ridiculous, and is something a Trump voter would say. And as you have to excuse and justify all the nonsense Trump has said and done to vote for the guy, you own his ridiculousness. I never said I would be preaching love and peace if he were elected. This is the most embarrassing moment in US history, IMO.

No, it is not the most embarrassing moment in US history. Surely you are joking.

I never said you couldn't. The problem is that its an identical two way street....but you turn a blind eye to the exact same shit coming from the left. That is your god given right to do so but you shouldn't be surprised when people pick up on it.
Trump voters(a small minority) go around saying "death to niggers". You are outraged by this(and rightfully so). Hillary voters(a small minority) have said "kill all the whites" and you don't bat an eye.
I mentioned Scarlett Fakhar a couple pages ago. I don't know if you are aware of this story so I'll post it. As a moderate on political issues, I'd like to know how you feel about her firing.
Outrage as reporter is SACKED for praising Donald Trump and criticising Obama
A US reporter has been sacked after she praised President-Elect Donald Trump and criticised President Obama for making the “entire country hate one another”.
In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, Scarlett Fakhar, a Fox 26 Houston journalist, said “God had a hand” in the election and she could “barely sleep from how happy and relieved she was” after Trump’s election victory.
In place of the deleted post, Fakhar said: "Guess what fans!!?? FOX 26 Houston is trying to take my fan page down now! DON'T LET THEM! #FREEPRESS #FREESPEECH #FIRSTAMENDMENT"
But the day after she was sacked, she added: “Fox 26 Houston fired me today for expressing my conservative views on my private Facebook page.
“That is all I will say for you. But I want you to know how much your support has gotten me through this. God Bless you all.”
A spokesman from the KRIV confirmed to a local US newspaper that the journalist was sacked, but declined to comment.
The former journalist claimed that US newspapers made her race an important part of the story.
She wrote: “The media has made this a race issue, when in reality the matter boils down to a difference in political philosophy.
“As a multiracial person myself, I never have been or never will be racist.
"I simply stated the fact that the media continues to misrepresent the factual realities that there is NO more white on black crime than there is black on black crime.”
Fakhar has worked on a number of stories surrounding the Republican, including exposing the violence Trump supporters have faced since his election.
The most recent focuses on a student who was attacked by his classmates for voting for Trump in a "mock" election.

To anyone who believes the story is bullshit due to the Express, you can go read about it at the NY Post or other media outlets. You can also go straight to the source and follow her story on twitter....
https://twitter.com/Scarlettontv
I've followed her on twitter for months(although I rarely use social media) and I never saw her post anything worthy of losing her job over. She's similar to another one I follow(Juliet Huddy) who has similar views and probably the only reason they haven't went after her(yet) is she's more high profile.
Off topic but Juliet is a GNR fan(also likes Slayer) and has checked out our site. 
The media coverage of this election in general was a huge clusterfuck and the media is on the verge of a major backlash.
Re: US Politics Thread
I honestly don't have to call out any extremes in anyone's fanbase unless I have direct contact with them. I don't like getting in pissing contests about whose followers said something worse. I'll go after the source, though. Anyone who has known me on these boards know I call out liberals all the time. A few people on this forum have called me a Trump voter for how I've chided liberals.
I have no idea about the girl you posted about, but I don't like anyone being fired for their own beliefs. But, this reads differently. Once you take it upon yourself to bring up, unprompted, an issue like blacks killing blacks more than whites in a post where you're claiming God was behind electing Trump because of how terrible Obama was and that Obama personally made the country more racist and dangerous, you're going to take flack. It wasnt a post about peace and love, it was directed at certain group. It was an antagonistic post, meant to antagonize people, and she did. What she wrote, IMO, was pretty dumb.

Re: US Politics Thread
MR ID has fallen an abyss of delusion, despair, and desperation. When will he emerge from this haze his brain is operating in? He claims this is the most embarrassing time in US history, I assume because Trump is the president. This is the kind of exaggeration the left is famous for. ID, when you get in tonight from protesting in the streets because Trump won, smoke a doobie, have a drink, make love to your wife or gf or simply beat off. Gotta take that edge off and realize the sun will rise tomorrow and your life will probably not be impacted. And if your life improves you can claim it is because Obama laid the ground work, so that is a silver lining. I had mentally accepted that Hillary may be my pres. It is better to just accept it and move on.

Did you come up with that all by yourself?
Yes, we have a douchebag as president that only 14% of what comes out of his mouth is true. http://www.politifact.com/personalities … ants-fire/
President Pussygrabber has zero depth, zero integrity, zero dignity, who gets into twitter wars with anyone who chips his thin skin. That's embarrassing.
He will make decisions that will impact all of our lives.

Facts are now considered dumb?
Yeah it was a rant....one that she called people out on for continuously talking about white on black crime and how they ignore the rest. It's true. Of course she would take some flack for her opinion...most journalists do. What she didn't deserve was to lose her job over it. Race has been a huuuge issue this time, including here.
While she could've left it out obviously, I wouldn't really categorize it as unprompted. You obviously don't follow her on twitter but some of these journalists get bombarded with that crap every single day.
We've been told by the left that Trump is going to censor the media. Looks like the exact opposite is what's really happening....attempting to silence anyone that's not against him.
