squistion

A typical enlightened attitude that we see on this forum.

For Pride Month (which was the only time it was ever flown at embassies in the past) it symbolizes the support and full acceptance by our government of the LGBTQ community. Given the hatred expressed openly against LGBTQ folks 24/7 on this forum, that public show of support is probably needed.

Good for him. Republicans put that in the funding bill and Biden had to sign it in order to avoid a government shutdown. Once again, the GOP has proven that they are not any friend of the LGBTQ community.

Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge. Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch… Police dispatched with just a few crisp phrases—ship has lost steering, close the bridge to traffic—and race to do just that. No time for confusion. No time for … ‘What do you mean, close the bridge? Who says?’ 4 minutes, alert to collapse. Bridge successfully closed… That’s amazing. Again, a system worked—a government system. All those people just ordinary frontline workers in anonymous, sometimes invisible jobs. Maritime radio operators. Police/fire dispatchers. Bridge police & state police. All working 11p to 7a o’night shift. Cool, direct, urgent, successful. Maybe not a college degree or a 6-figure salary among them—and they used their training & experience at the most critical, high-pressure moment to save lives. All day, every day—that happens & we don’t see it. That’s your ‘deep state.’

It was edited to give a misleading impression, just like the clips we see all the time posted here about Biden.

That is why Biden is selling Bibles for $60 to pay for his legal bills...oh, wait...

I started to watch it, but stopped after I saw that it was selectively edited and not giving the full context of what actually happened so as to be a distorted and misleading account of what happened and why. Sky New is Murdoch anti-left and anti-liberal propaganda, just like we saw on Fox when Rupert ran it.

Meh.

While Trump is the kind of guy who starts World War 3, which gets everyone killed.

Here is the real story from a publication not owned by Rupert Murdoch. https://www.cleveland.com/music/2024/03/why-did-rock-hall-of-famer-john-mellencamp-curse-at-fans-stomp-off-stage-at-ohio-concert.html Why did Rock Hall of Famer John Mellencamp curse at fans, stomp off stage at Ohio concert? TOLEDO, Ohio – Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp has made it clear the audience should listen and pay attention. If hecklers can’t be quiet, he won’t play. Mellancamp, who has clashed with audiences in the past, mixed it up with a concertgoer on Sunday, March 17 during a show at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo when he was interrupted by an outburst from the crowd while telling a story. A video on TikTok shows Mellencamp stop in mid-sentence and respond after an unseen member of the audience yelled that he should stop talking and “play some music.” The audience booed the heckler. Mellencamp addressed the heckler directly. “What do you think I’ve been doing, you (expletive)?” he said. Then he told someone on the concert staff to find the man because he wanted to see him after the show. “Here’s the thing, man. You don’t know me. You don’t (expletive) know me,” he’s says in the TikTok video. “Hey Joe, find this guy and let me see him after the show.” [...] After the initial outburst, Mellencamp returned to telling his story, but he was interrupted again by another heckler who yelled that he should play the “Authority Song,” a hit from his 1983 album “Uh-Huh.” “Guys, I can stop this show right now and just go home,” Mellencamp is heard saying in the TikTok video. “Tell you what I’m going to do. Since you’ve been so wonderful, I’m going to cut about 10 songs out of the show. Here we go.” With that, Mellencamp began to sing his hit “Jack & Diane.” But he stopped abruptly. “Know what? Show’s over,” Mellencamp is heard saying on the TikTok video just before walking off stage. But Mellencamp returned to the stage after about five minutes and performed several more songs. That was after the initial heckler had been removed, Out of the Blue said. And after returning, Mellencamp also responded to another heckler, telling that concertgoer to “go back to kindergarten.”

It has ratings wise and has made lots of bucks for MSNBC compared to who or what was in that time slot before (that no one can remember including me).

Tim - You should probably periodically update the thread title to reflect the current discussion (space permitting). This is similar to your failed thread you had on the PSF where people had no idea what was being discussed and then had to scroll backwards to try and figure out what is now being talked about (which wasn't always that obvious). Just a suggestion.

Fair enough. And Joe Scarborough was a ex-Republican Congressman who was originally hired by the network to bring some "balance"

Has MSNBC ever said or suggested that they "represent all voices" or any other voice outside of the liberal left? No. they never have. McDaniel was a bad hire for MSNBC and made as much sense if Fox had hired Keith Olbermann.

They don't. It's just gives them another opportunity to bash black folks (and show their racism).

No, the left hates hearing such self-righteousness from a leader of a country that is as corrupt and poverty stricken as Mexico.

Are the stats they presented wrong?

Trump in 2016: "I don't have time' for golf"

https://seattlemedium.com/donald-trump-spent-almost-a-year-playing-golf-during-presidency/ Donald Trump Spent Almost A Year Playing Golf During Presidency President Donald Trump has spent 307 days, almost a full year, golfing during his presidency. The total is likely to be the most golf outings of any president in history. Additionally, Trump is likely to be collectively viewed by historians as one of the worst presidents in American history. Almost a year of time spent on golf courses was punctuated recently as December became the worst month for deaths and infections in the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. Many in conservative media made a point of mentioning time spent playing golf by President Obama. But Trump has now far surpassed Obama and any other President in time spent on golf courses.

What a pompous jerk.

Singapore has DEI?

What a pile of crap that is.
