    So which part did they suspend her over? The stuff about the vaccine mandate? The Obama comment? Or the stuff about female reporters?

    You have all the information I do.

    You shared the tweet, so I assumed you understood what he was getting at, since he doesn't come right out and say it.

    We have the same information. For me it is obvious what he is getting at. For you it will always be a mystery, I guess.

    I asked you to explain what he's getting at. You are saying that, for you, it is obvious what he is getting at.

    This is the 7th post between us since I asked you to explain what he is getting at. It's obvious for you (your words), so I don't understand why we've had 7 posts since then, and none of them have included you explaining to me what he's getting at.

    You could have just replied "No" or explained it in your first reply. Either one would have saved both of us time.

    What do you want me to do? Read each statement out loud? They are different. Right from the first sentence.

    I’m not sure what point he’s trying to make either.

    I don't get the tweet either. The responses are obviously worded differently, but I have no clue where some random checkmark on Twitter is coming from.

    Also, for the "globalists" haters, a framework minimum tax on multi-national corporations was agreed to today.

    Your average person who hates “globalism” will need to wait for the talking heads to tell them how to feel about that
     
  17. I think he's saying that it's a double standard, how they threw Jemele Hill under the bus with no grace and how this other person got a very light touch with a sensitive, politically correct tone ("we recognize there are differences of opinion", as if the readers are so delicate that they think condemnation is the same as Stalinist censorship).

    Well, in order for it to be a double standard, doesn't the gravity of the two comments need to be equal?

    Jemele Hill called the POTUS a white supremacist. The implication of saying that is that 70 million plus people actively support a white supremacist as POTUS. That's a big statement.

    Steele stated that she doesn't like vaccine mandates, claimed she finds it fascinating that Obama identifies as Black despite being of mixed race descent, and said some stuff female journalists dressing a certain way.

    I'm not sure the gravity of the two comments is equal.

    We gonna unpack the Dave Chapelle stuff in here?

    I watched it this past weekend. I was honestly expecting it to be a lot worse than it ended up being, based on everything I had read about it prior to watching.

    I did realize this morning that today is Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day/...National Coming Out Day. I don't know when the latter two were established, but if National Coming Out Day was the latter of the two, then it makes me laugh and think of Chapelle.

    After brief research, it looks like National Coming Out Day was celebrated first. So maybe not as funny as originally thought.

    It does seem like maybe they should move it to a different day, so that each celebration can have its own day. And I only say to move National Coming Out Day because Indigenous Peoples' Day coinciding with Columbus Day serves a pretty obvious and specific purpose.

    But wtf do I know.
