I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Aubrey probably drives a pickup. ?

BTW - it speaks volumes that I spent a good five minutes deliberating if this belonged in here, The Trump Presidency, The Republican Party, or Crazy Conspiracy Theories thread...

 

This reminds me of many of my neighbors and why I keep a very low profile out here in Madison County. He even looks like a lot of them.

I don't listen to DW at all, but that sounds like shock-jock material.  Most conservatives love Mr. Rogers.

now the National Review is on the bashing Mr. Rogers campaign.

Seriously, rebelling against Mr. Rogers created "The Warriors"? More like boredom, lead, pollution and poverty.

The stuff I evacuated after Thanksgiving dinner is less sh*tty than that nonsense article. 

I could barely maintain attention during it. And that's after a youth of Mr. Rogers helping me learn patience. 

I will preface this by saying that I also grew up watching Mr. Rogers and felt he had a very positive influence on my childhood/life.

 

Shortly after Mr. Rogers filmed the segment about the Nabisco plant that made graham crackers, my dad accepted a management position at that same plant (Roosevelt Blvd in Philly).  One of the supervisors told him that Mr. Rogers was just a snobby, stuck up a*hole the entire time he was there filming.  Wouldn't let anyone touch him, talked down to people, etc.  So either he was having a bad day in the neighborhood or really wasn't always as nice as he portrayed in his shows.

Well if he was a total a$$hole at least he did not portray it in his Mr. Rogers character and kept that stuff hidden. Plus back then there were no grubby tv shows and paparazzi to expose him either-much harder to get away with that now.  He would probably be "cancelled".

What an immature, threatened child. A truly lost soul. Sounds like religious guidance has eluded his efforts to be a more thoughtful, kind, loving Christian. Jesus must be so proud of him....

 

 

The irony here is that his administration failed to contain the coronavirus which led to meat shortages due to worker outbreaks at meat packing plants.

I just clicked on this thread for the first time a half hour ago.  Now I'm getting bra & panties ads on my work computer.  Thanks, Obama.  

I thought "red meat" meant the "meat" of the right-wing political platform.

 

I don't think it's the joke that KJP and Twitter seem to think it is. What's supposed to be red about it? That doesn't even make sense.

Also a possibility, the story may have been exaggerated or incorrect or warped through the game of telephone.

No, he should not resign. These are allegations, but he DESERVES due process. He DESERVES a full complete impartial investigation. He should not resign over allegations without having his chance to present a defense.

I can't believe people go around saying, "Believe ALL Women!" You've clearly never met any of my crazy exes! I'm sure a lot of the guys who went around preaching that, have been MeToo'ed by now.

Why am I not surprised this thread is filled with Twitter posts. Twitter is the worst. God, I can't stand cancel/outrage culture; it's gotten so far out of hand by boring, over-sensitive and apparently mentally weak individuals. The way they go after people to destroy their careers and personal lives based on unfounded allegations or jokes they made on Twitter 20 years ago is a horrible form of solidarity through bullying. People need to stop being so sensitive and learn how to lighten up.

Every time I watch a comedy movie or even clips of TV shows from the 90s or 2000s, I'm always thinking "they would NEVER be able to make this today." In the words of Gilbert Gottfreid, "Free Speech is important. Especially since I'm Jewish and don't like to pay for anything." 

You're right about social media; it does tend to bring about the worst in people. It's easier to destroy than to build, which social media and its left and right mobs routinely prove. 

 

MASH, you're next!

What a thread!...the “Believe All Women” mantra seems to be gone now that you mention it.  
 

Tara Reade, Joe Biden’s Senate aide and sexual assault victim, pretty much put a stake in that. This Reade-Biden issue took a lot of the wind outta the #MeToo thing as well, perhaps even fatally.

 

Does Sen Corey Booker’s sexual groping in a men’s room count as “toxic masculinity”?  
 

The same Senator along with Kamala Harris who scoured a high school yearbook in a Senate confirmation hearing looking for evidence of sexual assault-rape “toxic masculinity”.   Only thing discovered was “flatulence” jokes and beer drinking games.

 

Are flatulence jokes/references or beer drinking games considered “toxic masculinity” now?

Whenever this thread pops up I know there'll be some nonsense posts. Yep - that's still true.
