Re: Eight more years?
Tucker began talking about parallels between today and the early part of the previous century. Found it quite interesting and I intend to look into it some more....

The only negotiating table the Antifa/BLM rioters should be sitting at with the government is the one where their lawyers are plea bargaining for lighter sentences.

That's what the British said about our founding fathers as well. History is full of pissed off people in the street lashing out. I wish they would avoid targeting small folk....unfortunately a lot of dumbasses wrapped up in the movement

Oppression? They might have some understanding Again, the targeting of small civilian business is bad move...
Re: Eight more years?
Unfortunately the movement is lacking brains....although people have a right be fed up they need clear messaging and organization....same issue led to downfall of occupy wall street
Re: Eight more years?
Also pugchief, I think your version of events leading up to revolutionary war is a bit too sanitized....tarring and feathering, destruction of private property, mobs in streets. I don't think founding fathers would be too surprised that citizens are up in arms in streets that modern aristocracy has made a sham out of our democracy.

Re: Eight more years?
There's absolutely no way the Founding Fathers would have been sympathetic to BLM/Antifa, seeing as how they were all racist Nazis.






I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. Who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. . . Nothing is better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy his work.

No, you got it right several posts up. How does ruining the lives of small business owners (including black ones) further the cause of blacks?doodle wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 3:43 pmAlso pugchief, I think your version of events leading up to revolutionary war is a bit too sanitized....tarring and feathering, destruction of private property, mobs in streets.

It doesn't, it's stupid. But how does that negate the legitimacy of their complaints? You confusing the messenger with the message.pugchief wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 4:03 pmNo, you got it right several posts up.

Re: Eight more years?
Back to the choice of music / songs played at Trump's rallies.
The first time I heard this song being played I told myself, "This is NOT a song I'd play at a Trump rally."
Lately I've been hearing this being the first song played after Trump concludes speaking. (Just heard it again after listening to his recent Reno, Nevada rally.)
Reading the below....definitely seems like a song directed at the Trump crowd.....if you don't know what you are doing when you chose songs to play!

Taken at face value, the song's lyrics extol the virtues of the Young Men's Christian Association. However, in the gay culture from which the Village People stemmed, the song was implicitly understood as celebrating YMCA's reputation as a popular cruising and hookup spot, particularly for the younger men to whom it was addressed.[14] The initial goal of Village People producers Morali and Belolo was to attract disco's gay audience by featuring popular gay fantasy in their music.[15] Although co-creator Morali was gay and the group was initially intended to target gay men, the group became more popular and more mainstream over time.[16]
