War Room Lounge v67: Is Australia Real?

[spin]

The New England Patriots are the biggest gangsters in the history of sports.

Well, maybe not New York Yankee level, but 1 step below.

On the other hand, they do seem to manage the trouble players and get production out of them, and don't get caught up in their horseshit.

Maybe that's just something everyone else needs to get better at.

 

[TeTe]

Fuck the patriots. Fuck Brown. I don’t give a shit how the game goes. We are better off without that asshole

The sweetness of football fan anguish is second only to soccer fan anguish, imo.

Digging into the YT series "WW2 Week by Week." It's 10-12 minute weekly episodes that follow WW2...week by week. Amazing how fast everything moved at the start of the war. The series will take years. It's been out like a year now and has only covered...well, a year.

Sure fuck it why not I mean why not bring the Taliban to Camp David okay

What's this about?

At this point, you just got to blame the shit-tier moderation on this forum.

It really is a shame the war room got left with the mods with the least integrity.

I know they are predominantly republican, and thats ok; but I question their motivation in turning a blind eye to alot of this...

Freedom of speech refers to the government, not your home, not a business, not sherdog. We have a rule that you can't post naked chicks here. Ok I understand that; but I can post "The jews are running a conspiracy to replace the white race" and get likes

Hearing the same things over and over again, generation after generation is how someone like a judge in Texas can start out his day with a cup of bias.

It just baffles me how gutless the mods are in this subforum in particular. It's the same racist little trolls who post here bragging about how their prime motivation is to derail and turn this forum into shit. The mods, inexplicably, are powerless to do anything about it.

Seriously. Just turn the blue over to the few posters who actually give a shit and this place would be cleaned up overnight.

I don't think this is fair to them, honestly. This subforum is a cesspool that attracts the worst and a lot of them get banned and comments get deleted almost daily.

Have you reported it? I just did, let's see if stuff like this gets tolerated.

The problem is that it's a certain group of like 10 people (if that much) that keeps getting banned over and over and they just keep coming back and do the same shit.

But I will say that the rules don't apply to everyone. You can't flame people, but apparently you can smear people in your sig and call them scumbags, based on lies.

Oh wow you predicted Khabib to win what a nostradamus.

Not only did I pick him to win and pick the round, at the time, I had no idea whom he was fighting, whether he won or lost his last fight, or, pretty much any other information that might influence one's prediction. But I also didn't bet on it or in any other way act on it as though I were super confident. So yeah, not exactly going to submit it as my audition to be the next Kreskin or anything. Just having fun. Why you gotta harsh my buzz?

A couple of posters here keep saying "TDS" , "Orangeman bad" , "This is it" every-time a thread critical of Trump is made. It is spamming, derailing and deflection. But Mods only delete the comments if they notice it , instead of handing out cards. It is pretty easy and takes no effort to just spam those aforementioned memes.

What is Trump on about here? Seems more important than just a usual social media outburst

Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday. They were coming to the United States tonight. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn’t, they only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don’t have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?

There's no way Trump himself wrote that. Either that, or the video that was posted earlier where the guy suggested Trump may be on uppers was a fair point. I'd be very interested in other explanations for how he can be this coherent, with complete sentences and proper punctuation, not even a then/than error, while being barely intelligible at other times, whether verbally or in print.

So, let's say it's the former, for the sake of argument. You didn't say whether this originated. Was it Twitter?

This was on Facebook

Yeah. I definitely believe he, like every politician, has people who write posts for him. In Trump's case, the writers try to make it sound like it came from Trump.

But like if you or I were to write a fake Trump tweet or FB post, the spelling and grammar would still probably end up better than the authentic version (even with a deliberate minor slip up in there)

Please someone find one time Trump used the word "unbeknownst" himself. This message came from Trump, but not this wording for sure.

I found some interesting comparison footage of that time we all remember when Obama tried to bring the Taliban to Camp David, and when Trump did it a couple days ago:

Spoiler

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Of course they did. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped him before week 2 also. Piece of shit franchise.

AB is going to have an awesome year which will result in the Pat's not extending him and them getting a 3rd round pick from whoever picks him up next year

I don't think I've ever known what a "meme" technically is. I just figured it was an image with a satirical comment in text to go along with it. I don't actually know though, as I've see gifs with text referred to as "memes" as well.
Damn youngsters, and their stupid new language.

A meme is not the image itself, usually, but rather (some of) the meaning contained in it that is applicable to a broader cultural concept. Please see below.

The meme here is not the joke about Trump being so selfish he doesn't try to share the umbrella; it's the awareness of the process of adding the sharpie part as part of a running gag. This is just an example though, a meme doesn't necessarily have to be played for laughs to be a meme. Zeitgeist seems to me to be an over-used term, but memes are a perfect example of it in action.

Edit: this might be a good time for an "everyone knows". It's a good gag because everyone knows what the use of the sharpie here is referring to. If it weren't for the original incident catching on and being re-used in various creative ways, this wouldn't be nearly as funny. But since it's become a meme, everyone gets the deeper joke.

We got a 3rd and a 5th. Watch them get a 2nd. Did Moss last one or two years with the pats?

Considering the NFL has a hard cap the Patriots are more impressive imo
