President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[LibertyVol]

Is Trump calling out himself?

TDS is real.

Actually Biden did actually sign Hunter's pardon. One of the rare ones he did sign

True but if it can be proven that he was in a cognitive decline and had no idea what he was actually signing. Which given the evidence that's coming out is possible. I just don't know if they'll go forth with it or not

I don't even think they'll be able to throw out the autopen signings. Don't get your hopes up

I guess we're going to have to put up with this until the Supremes get it and set these lower courts straight with another 6-3 decision

Which they will also ignore. Until there are consequences for the judges making these blatantly unconstitutional decisions; there is no incentive for them to do otherwise.

so if Trump was going to win, why accept the settlement?

its not like the billion dollars were going to only leave Trump with 16 million at the end of the day. so he took a big pay cut.

Because two reasons: 1) legal fees to pursue this to its conclusion would have cost CBS a lot more than $16 million and 2) CBS would pay just about any price to avoid giving Trump access to internal CBS communications as part of discovery.

Interesting approach for a white man to make an honor to an Indian culture a trivial matter....

Hmmm ....

Opinion: Dear white people, stop telling Native Americans like me whether we're offended by the Washington Redskins

My tribe doesn’t identify as 'redskins' – this is a derogatory term coined by colonialists often historically used interchangeably with 'savages'

www.independent.co.uk

Opinions from Native Americans/the Indigenous will vary on whether or not "redskin" is an epithet or slur, but I have never seen or heard any of them call it an "honor" to be referred to as a "redskin." At the very least, it is a coarse description. The article I posted up above, is from someone who identifies herself as being a Native American, and for what it's worth, she does consider the term "redskin" to be racist .... with her general point being that white people should stop speaking for them on the matter of what is and isn't offensive to them.

..... and yes, the subject of what an NFL team chooses to use as a nickname, is a trivial matter. Regardless of who it is, Obama or Trump, the President of the United States should have better things to do than get involved in such a matter. Trump had it right in 2013. He should have left it that way.

How can you say that? You don’t even know me. Carson and Letterman was real late night TV. The stuff today doesn’t compare at all.

I understand inferential statistics, but I do agree with you about late night TV

no why did Trump accept it? he could have had a lot more money if he waited. even after legal fees it would have been more than 16 million.

JC and Letterman were worth staying up and watching.

Letterman got stale towards the end. I think he stepped down a year or two too late. But initially he was very creative.

Agree

Kind of a racist article. Probably shouldn’t have led with Dear White people.

Last time checked, NFL fans come from all demographics.

I got Native buddies from HS who like the name Redskins and that our school had a similar name. They can speak for natives too, obviously...there is always going to be disagreement on this within their own community....but the real bottom line is what do the NFL and Washington want? Do they want a name that divides people? Of course not. They want the biggest umbrella possible.

It is okay for Caucasians to call her "red" but if she calls them "white," she is the racist and Caucasians are not? I hope you can see for yourself how stupid that logic is.

Sure .... and as I said, their opinions do vary on the term "redskin." They are not all offended by it, but some of them are.

I don't think Washington/the NFL are going to increase any viewership numbers by removing "offensive" names. the people who are offended are a pretty small number, and weren't going to watch it anyway. meanwhile changing the name just pisses off the fans you actually had. especially if you end up with a pretty bland/generic replacement.

this is one of those issues that is striking a lot of entertainment right now. you have to be careful leaving your base audience you who built you up. its a dangerous risk that changes will bring in more new than old it loses.

Do you think it’s only whites that went on record to not be offended? It sells better when you make it racial to just whites.

You’ve never been involved in a lawsuit have you?

Maybe...but viewership isn't the only thing. There are a million considerations, particularly cross-branding. In fact, I would say the actual team doesn't GAF about how their name affects viewers because that is such an indirect way to get $.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Liberals do make it pretty easy. It’s really not that hard to call it out when you see it. But I do enjoy you chiming in for attention. Does that “dumbed downed shtick” need to remind you of all the noted post of mine you’ve like in the past. Might want to clean it up before proceeding.

Infrequently as it might be, adults can find some common ground.Unfortunately, you can't help yourself with that last comment. You're in no position to offer advice

No, I even said that opinions from Native Americans/the Indigenous will vary on whether or not "redskin" is an epithet or slur. Some of them believe that it is a derogatory description, and some of them don't. Either way, too many people outside of their community, think they can speak for them.

.... and this is a trite subject, anyway. The "anti-woke" police want to make this a more important issue than what it really is. We are just talking about the nickname of a football team for f*** sake. The NHL team in Utah doesn't even have a nickname. Who cares?

 

[OrangeTsar]

Oh, sorry I misunderstood. Trump, I believe accepted it so that he could go ahead and chalk up another „win“ to his followers. It‘s all about the scoreboard for Trump and an eventual victory over CBS might not have come for years; maybe even after his term ended.
But who knows for sure?

Something like 90% of native Americans weren't offended by the name. It gets tiring to see things being altered because of a tiny fringe
