If Trump reunites Korea they won't have a choice they'll have to award him the Nobel peace prize. That would be the most significant foreign policy accomplishment since the fall of the Berlin wall.

South Korea will NEVER allow unification. IIRC in the 80s/90s they ran some scenario tests and basically, if Korea reunites? South Korea is FUCKED. They would have to clothe, feed (and seriously feed due to how malnorished the NK folk are), and EDUCATE a bunch of people who have fully been brainwashed to a degree that it would probably take two-three generations before you have North Korean people who are remotely housebroken and able to function in normal society. And this would BREAK, IRREVOCABLY BREAK the South Korean economy. Not to mention having to deal with hordes of North Koreans pooring into the south, demanding South Korea's first world standard of living while still suffering from near irreversible Stockholm Syndrome.

I still can't believe the Evangelicals managed to control mainstream culture for 20 years but their Left Wing counterpart is already badly cracking and slowly sinking like the Titanic after only 5 years.

They had help in the early days from liberals (people forget Tipper Gore, C Delores Tucker, among others ran the anti-music crusades and Second Wave Feminism literally formed a full on open alliance with the Religious Right to kill porn). And if you get anal, the Religious Right's only really had full power from 2001-2008. Reagan only humored them/used them without giving them much in return on the federal level whereas W went out of his way to pander to them.

Fuck left-coast governments.

Left Wing have been controlling the media since at least 2008, and really closer to 2004/2005. It was just a more subtle and nuanced control before they went full re.tard around 2015, which itself was just an acceleration of 2011/2012 Obama reelection shilling.
Obama didn't have a scandal free presidency. He had a complacent and complicit media.

9/11 bought the right a couple of years of immunity from the media. But the lunatic left didn't start reclaiming the media until 2005 and Hurricane Katrina happened. Katrina was the literal turning point in terms of it being such a disaster that it made it impossible for the press to keep giving Bush a pass and they had to start criticizing him. And you had Keith Olberman on MSNBC, basically mainstreaming the Daily Show formula for prime time cable news and making money for the struggling network.

I know I didn’t know much about gamergate until I found threads discussing it here, I was gonna vote for the most un-Obama person who ran. Though I think the major impact it had was getting the press to overreact. They pulled out the big guns getting every paper to pen screeds against nerds who were mad about some nerd drama to try to crush it out of existence because it hurt their pride by resisting. Then everyone else started asking “wait, why is every press organ treating this nerd drama like it’s a massive deal? Why is this random chick who I’ve never heard of at the United Nations crying about mean tweets and video games?”
In their zeal to crush some intractable but minor upset that everyone would have forgotten about in a week if they stopped talking about it with the full weight of their media empire, they lost any ability to conceal said empire.

In the wake of Gamergate happening, it was widely speculated that the move to squash Gamergate was an example of the lunatic left that had co-opted the media, pulling a "don't let a crisis go to waste" lateral move.

Going back to the JournoList scandal, the left wing media had been pissed off that they were caught trying to rig the media coverage of things with a pro-Obama slant. They also knew Hillary was going to get the nomination and the right would go in for the kill, day one of the campaign. Gamergate was people involved in JournoList and their fellow travelers doing two things:

1. Burying a story that exposed mass media corruption, as a "Never Again Will We Let Our Sins Be Exposed, Or the People Exposing Our Sins Go Unpunished!!!!" type holy war, especially since....

2. They had been slowly build their own version of the infamous Gundam Victory doomsday device the Halo Drive, to wipe out from orbit ANYONE that opposed them through an ultra organized smear campaign/gaslighting campaign.

Gamergate ended being the perfect chance for them to test out their Halo Drive device on nerds, who they never thought would fight back or that by doing so, they would inadvertedly expose what they were planning to do for Hillary, allowing Trump and his cohorts to see the gameplans and prepare accordingly by way of calling out the media for their bullshit.

Look at Rathergate. A small news story dunking on Bush became a triumph of citizen journalism and a symbol of a biased and incompetent mainstream media.

Rathergate was different in that Dan Rather thought he had had W dead to rights but it turned out the entire thing was one huge honeypot that the Bush administration had led Rather into and basically won flawless victory destroying Rather's credibility and getting him fired.

Journalists are STILL fucking butt-hurt that W and Cheney played Rather like a chump and fucked him so badly that they destroyed his career AND got away with it with zero consequences. Among the left, especially Rachel Maddow, Rather's fall from grace is something that is one of her chief motivators for why she hates and seeks to destroy the GOP. Rather is a martyr among the lunatic left journalist class.

Yeah I stop treating posts seriously the moment they try to make Gamergate look like it ever wasn't a tard slapfight.

In this case, the media is mostly being complete shit for the following batch of reasons:

1. They are failing in views. People can't stand that cliffhanger shit that they do on TV where they stretch a single event for a full hour, trying and failing to garner interest in whatever misery they profit on. The people also are sick and tired of bullshit article titles that a more charitable person would describe as a fucking lie. This loss in power and money makes them desperate and bribable. Also cheap, which leads to:
2, Hiring delusional baby brains who work for a mixture of exposure and chipotle's coupons. These subhumans are completely insane morons who suck at the job, but will parrot and bleat what you want in exchange for getting paid peanuts. Ranging from the Karen blogger to Don Lemon, worst journalist of the worst network of all time.
3. They are still mad they lost their investment. The bags of dildos that run most of these ape diaper pulp mills gave Side of Beef tens of millions each with the express purpose of getting it back with interest. She fucked it up, and that money went down the hole, meaning they are out a coked fueled stripper night.
4. BETRAYAL!!! Trump was one of them for a while, but then signed up to be a Republican. This terrifies them because since he was money and business associates with a lot of media guys, he knows their gropey ways.
5. Desire to be an Anime. The idea of literally becoming Gundam's Earthborn Elite and telling people what to do and control them makes their sad little balls tingle in delight. Trump winning broke that delusion and they can't stand it.

In short, they just are creepy fuck-ups angry that they are losing relevance.

Ironically Fox News is doing quite well.

Makes me wonder when outlets will start copying it and go Rightwing for those sweet ratings.

I hadn't heard this before. What evidence is there that the documents at the core of Rathergate were a honeypot by the Bush administration?

I am really not looking forward to what 2023 will look like in social media.

I don’t think TDS will stop. There is a belief that people will eventually just get worn out and turn off the news. This is true in some circumstances, with journalists recommending “Trump-free” Sundays. I could honestly see some citizens adopting this.

But hatred and anger don’t seem to go away with time. Many of you guys here can point to the endlessly shifting borders in the Slavisphere. India/Pakistan ‘s eternal feud over who knows what. Montagues, Capulets, I’m saying we are a pretty hateful species.

As old as the Bible, even. The Israelites hated the Babylonians forever for enslaving them, even after they freed them.

“Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.” Psalm 137 8-9

What I’m saying with all this is, tldr, I am not looking forward to the next few years. Cuz i think it is going to be more of the same, but multiplied.

Cheer up, friend. We could get super super lucky and there could be a huge rash of suicides among the TDSers in the wake of his reelection!

This is why these people want to make mere disapproval of someone's life choices a hate crime. They are absolutely incapable of disagreeing with someone without hating that person. They mock "love the sinner, hate the sin" because it's beyond their own ability--and since they are, after all, the most virtuous of people, it's simply not possible that anyone else could be morally better on any point.

And these people are asking you to let them rule the world.

Not likely; CNN struggled for years trying to straddle the fence while MSNBC eclipsed them going hard left. Hence why CNN went even more hardcore anti-Trump to try and route MSNBC from capturing the anti-Trump demographic.

Both MSNBC and CNN have tacitly accepted that Fox has a stranglehold over the right wing viewing demo; they would rather fight over the anti-Trump/lunatic left demo instead.

I hadn't heard this before. What evidence is there that the documents at the core of Rathergate were a honeypot by the Bush administration?

Rather was one of the few media folks who were openly against Bush in the lead up to the 2004 election and was frantically looking for a smoking gun to use against Bush after the Swiftboat debacle against Kerry.

It's rumored that Cheney and Bush, knowing Rather was looking into Bush's National Guards records, convinced a third party figure to leak doctored documents to Rather knowing full well that Rather would not take the time to confirm their authenticity in hopes of using them as weapons to cost Bush re-election. This allowed Cheney and Bush to go on an offensive to basically kill Rather's career DOA and make the issue of Bush's National Guard days radioactive from any further investigation, by exposing said documents as fake and that Rather was engaging in fake news to hurt a President he didn't like and didn't want re-elected.

Afterwords, people on the left realized that Bush/Cheney pulled a con job on everyone to get rid of Rathers and got away with it because of how Bush and company suddenly dropped the whole matter once CBS fired Rathers

Which is hilarious because that's a demographic that doesn't watch the news. They get everything from social media, a source that isn't going to put any money in CNN's pockets no matter how many retweets they get. It's sort of like when entertainment media outlets like games and comic books cater to the screechy, loud socjust demographics that don't buy games or comic books. It gets you lots of praise on the tweeter and the im-jur, but sales are still in the toilet and they seem to think it's mostly because they're not pandering hard enough.

I asked about evidence. This is an alleged rumor. Bush et alia not pushing the matter once Rather was fired isn't all that surprising to me, and certainly isn't evidence of this claim.

What is your evidence?

I have a sinking feeling they are ok being as extreme and vindictive as they are and brush off warnings of escalating violence because think battle will be glamorous and fun like their Japanese animes. They talk like they’re eager for a fight, which is horrific but what can you expect from someone who understands real life through the lens of fiction.

Nah, it's because they think someone else is going to do all the real fighting for them. They figure they might, at the most, need to get things started by punching a few people they're 99.9% certain won't punch back, but they think that once the real Revolution starts that their glorious collectivist army will materialize like dragon's teeth scattered on the ground and do all the real war, while they sit back, cheer at the executions of those they hate, and collect fat checks from the redistributed wealth. They never think they're going to be the ones doing the bleeding and dying. Hell, they've abdicated personal responsibility and internalized sending others to fight their battles for them to the point that for awhile there a "Gotcha!" leftists were trying on 2A supporters was "Well if you want to clutch your guns for fear of tyrannical government why aren't you assassinating Trump for me since he's literally Hitler, HUH?!"

Realistically speaking, for the ruralite trump supporter a civil war looks like a lot of being hungry and sitting in a deer stand. For an urbanite one can only imagine. Any large scale civil conflict in the US will be thoroughly interesting from a metapolitical perspective and horrifying in the way only civil wars between the religious and irreligious can be.

It feels like a second season to the cult classic 1930s anime 'Franco Senpai Commie Slaughter: Spain Wars'

Nah, it's because they think someone else is going to do all the real fighting for them.

The anarchists in Spain thought it was going to be an easy romp, and it was for the first portion. They made a sport out of shelling a few forts and the like, for example. Everyone went to go pull the rope on a howitzer. But when Franco punitively occupies you with Moroccans because your buddies decided to rape some nuns and burn down a church, reality sets in very quickly. The young anarchists, communists, and republicans started to infight as things went south. I imagine they'll go out thinking it'll be some grand adventure only to realize how horrifying modern guerrilla warfare is, if anything happens.

This is what you think evidence looks like? Jesus, do you work for CNN?
 
Looks like the House Means and Ways committee is suing Steve Munchin of US Treasurey and IRS commissioner Charles Rettig to try to get their hands on Trump's tax returns for the past 6-ish years. I'd except some TDS to eventually trickle down from this cause they think it's finally going to end Drumpf!

 
I love the swagger and cockiness Trump has brought to the GOP. (link)

Also fuck Nike and Colin Kaepernick. How shit do you have to be to turn me over to Michael Avenatti's side? He's still a creepy porn lawyer, but I wish he had shaken down Nike for the money.
