Random Politics & Religion #09

]Not taking a side here[/b] because I think it's a questionable move at best.
That said, a thoughtful discussion could be had (it won't be, but I'll try anyhow):
Shooter's father is not the shooter, everyone is responsible for their own behavior and no one else's. Father has to deal with the fallout of the horrible things his own son did and has to question whether or not he should even mourn the loss of his own son due to his son's terrible acts.
Personal responsibility vs. guilt by association.
Political ploy? Reaching out to someone who is likely grieving and struggling with how/if he even should? An attempt at healing?
Which is it?
Personally I don't think it's a slap in the face to anyone, especially anyone calling for forgiveness and healing in the face of terrible events. But I'm not in any "community" that's "marginalized" to really say, I guess. YouTube Video Placeholder

'Why does the media ignore Clinton!', said unironically during a discussion of a news media story about Clinton.

It's simple cause most of the media works for Hillary. And they do her bidding.

Might want to tell a certain conspiracy theorist the real truth, Fone.

It isn't a half baked conspiracy theory. Turn on CNN for example and find me a story that makes Hillary look bad I'll wait.

'Why does the media ignore Clinton!', said unironically during a discussion of a news media story about Clinton. Better question should be:
Why does the media ignore every issue with Clinton, and yet, attack Trump on even the most farfetched and most likely made up story by 3rd parties?
Or are you going to say that you heard Trump specifically state that he will nuke Iran on the first day he is President?

CNN is on the gym monitor right now running with the Mateen story. Aren't they supposed to be on her payroll or whatever?

Funny you should say that, because since we've been talking about it the top news on my google news feed quickly turned from the negative Clinton story to a random negative one about Trump, another random negative one about Trump, and a positive one about Clinton's campaign push into battleground states.

Clinton admits she may have 'short circuited' answers on email controversy.
Mind you, this was buried way down in the archives.

Not even when they admit it. And oh, sorry, even if it does exist it's okay because it happens in every election.

I'm playing Fallout 4 and I saw a message pop up saying "Trump will lead to more nuclear war and despair !"

It looks like the title was modified, because taking a very ambiguous comment and using it to claim that Trump is advocating gun massacres is absolutely insane, even for CNN.

Message (from CNN) is basically the same.

yeah, he could of meant ANYTHING by what he said. that's the core problem with him. a presidential candidate should maybe try to make unambiguous statements that can't be misconstrued as "kill this person.". maybe it's the stuff he says, not a massive conspiracy.

The only reason it's a news story in the first place is because they want people to think what he said was somehow horrible, even if they're not willing to come right out and say it. It shouldn't be a story in the first place because there's nothing there. Kind of like with the whole kicking a baby out of his rally thing, even though the mother has since defended Trump and chided the media for lying (but barely got any news coverage for doing so).

But hey, at least we proven something here.
When the left makes a mountain out of a molehill, it's sensationalism and therefor ok.
When the right or a conservative uses sensationalism as an example, it's therefor hyperbole and not ok (unless the left uses it, then it's ok).
If a conservative breathes, they are taking up the air from every lefty there is, and therefor bad, and they should be ashamed!

Or are you going to say that you heard Trump specifically state that he will nuke Iran on the first day he is President? Trump is like the poster boy of making up farfetched stories with no actual proof. And when there is actual proof that goes against him, it suddenly becomes "he never said that" or "he was just joking. You don't understand".

How did you find that piece of cheese Pleebo?

You mean like how that 3rd party said that Trump asked why we shouldn't use nukes on Europe?
We should totally believe what a 3rd party, possibly democrat, said about Trump, right?
