Remember when the migrant caravan was coming through Mexico? Most of the posts there were talking about how the best option was to just have the national guard open fire when they approached the border. A guy said maybe we can just not let them in and not kill all of them. He was called a snowflake/liberal/cuck etc.

Can you link us to this thread where the entire PB was advocating for the entire caravan to get mowed down and the one guy that suggested we didn't need to kill throng was called these things?

It used to not be this way until the multiple 24 hour news (opinion) channels and the conspiracy theories.


That’s because corruption has always been going on, we were just all aloof to it, or our parents just didnt give a frick. The rise of podcasting and independent media has exposed so much constant corruption that most sane people are getting sick of the bullshite.

People understand now that “conspiracy theories” are no longer theories.

Man if you ask that board to just consider the possibility that the assassination attempt wasn't a Secret Service/Deep State conspiracy, they lose their collective shite.

Do you automatically assume that it’s not? The alternative is much worse, to assume that this was all just ineptness. If that were the case, and considering America’s vast enemies made, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel going forward.

I almost can't decide what would be worse:

1. That there was an actual plot to try it deliberately.

OR

2. That there wasn't- but the Secret Service provided a plan that was so amazingly bad it just looked deliberate.




Clearly option one would be the worst of the two- but option two is hardly reassuring, especially when you consider these are some of the same people (the current federal govt) telling you that 'you don't need a rifle to protect yourself- that's our job!'

I think the majority of posters who don’t want to see all the political stuff have already left the site.

The poli board is a MAGA cheer board. It’s not really a place to ‘debate policy’ or whatnot.


That’s because we’ve been fighting nothing but ignorance and stupidity from the left since Obama was in office… Name one fricking policy the democrats have that makes a lick of sense for America?? Immigration? Border security? Etc…

Everything they do is a net negative for America, there’s no ‘debating policy’ over that

Chicken tried a few months ago to emphasize keeping it all on the poli board, but yea between the way everything these days is shrouded in politics and the fact the echo chamber board regulars need extra room to melt about everything, it ends up here.

I do miss the old OT a lot. Place was hilarious. Everyone is so damn crotchety these days. Social media and toxic mainstream news plays its part. Doesn’t help that we’re all getting old.

Of course it isn't pointless. Some people just don't look for it everywhere and in everything, or make it their entire identity. That's a big part of the problem, and it is by design.

It's sad what that board has been allowed to devolve into. Ever since 2016 it seems the board has lost its collective mind


I know right... Assassination attempts being swept under the rug by government agencies is such a ridiculous thing to be concerned about these days.

No reason to be concerned about any of this stuff.

The movie board is the land of make believe, so it makes sense that a bunch of incels would want it as a safe space.

The OT, however, isn’t into nut milk. So kindly dry your eyes (and vag) and go flick your man bean to the non-white Netflix remakes.

this is objectively untrue. look at the state of the country today vs the state of the country pre-Biden. imagine four more years of that, but even worse. so unless by "just fine" you mean skyrocketing cost of living against meagre increases in pay and worse life for your children, then i guess you're right.

so if conservatives believe it was a conspiracy, THAT'S not ok with you, but i'm guessing likewise, if conservatives blame DEI hiring and other such similar policies for such complete and utter incompetence that let a 20 year nobody get a semi-automatic rifle a hundred yards away from a major political candidate and get multiple shots off, THAT probably wont be ok with you either.

so just so that i can understand, it is only ok with you if conservatives believe that a completely functional and competent Secret Service, unaffected by any ideological influence or devious actors, were hoodwinked by a 20 year old nerd?
