I think both sides in the US are ridiculous so.....lol. it's all a circus to me. Mick To be clear, the degree and depth of ridiculous is clear though. This is not a "good people on both sides" situation at this moment in time in the USA. I will always refuse normalization of conspiracy theorist agenda and the people complicit in encouraging/supporting/allowing it.

I am curious where you are in regards to the normalization of mental illness, theft, homelessness, drug abuse, illegal immigration, insider trading, and censorship of free speech? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The democrats are crazy on this issue and should focus more on actual issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these are issues that need to be tackled. As long as there's a democracy there's a chance to do it. Some of these are issues that have existed for decades, and while they could/should get tackled it's not one political affiliation to blame for their perpetuation. Can I just say that contrarianism isn't a platform for a political party? Or is that too specific to trigger the righties? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 For the keyboard warriors on tRF, you'll be disappointed to know I won't be engaging in the trolling. You can have your sick and twisted little playground back, I won't be wasting my time on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christoph Waltz was brilliant in that movie and his delivery of the above line was funny. Nothing beyond that went into choosing that image. I didn't even think of the Nazi angle in the context of this thread. I wish I could claim it was "genius trolling," but nothing so clever, I'm afraid. Besides, you don't need a high level of cleverness when responding to Mith's childish race-baiting. If this thread had blown up in his face any harder he'd look like Trudeau at a frat party.

I don't like talking about this stuff but i had to say this. Can't let this pass with Swift. the right is fixated on her. and the left is fixated on the fixation. alsoi it's all my right leaning younger cousin can talk about, lol. Mick 5 hours ago, NoahLutz said: I don’t watch Fox News, but Fox is in my news feed, and I’ve never seen an article criticizing Swift. However, I have seen conservatives like the National Review, Shapiro, Prager, and Klavan express support for her. As I said, I’m sure there are nuts out there, but the overwhelming focus seems to be on the complaining about the small amount of complaining. Like with Lady GaGa there are more than a handful of Swift songs I like. Many center-right people that look at issues from all sides then decide are fascinated with Swift hoping she'll start an OnlyFans account. The rest is just noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think other than her two most “pop” albums, I like them all. And even on those there are ok songs. As for my niece’s friends asking me why Mr. Swift isn’t running the ball on 4th and 7, I can think of worse fates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, a lot of modern country is more pop-country. Four-chord pop music with autotuned vocals, with a bit of country twang. Beyonce's lyrics refer to boots, booze, hoedowns and Texas, with what sounds like a banjo in the background. These days that's pretty much all you need. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as your description of current "country" is concerned, it seems the drugstore cowboys (as we used to call them in Texas) have infiltrated country music!! P.S. It's great to see you again, Bub! I hope you & yours are well. Edited February 24 by Jack Aubrey Add stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
