[QUOTE=Pootis Mann;51706558]Wow crazy how a liberal moderator banned someone who posted some a conservative opinion that differs from everyone elses' while a leftist posts something even more offensive and is fine.[/QUOTE]
Maybe he posted a dumb jab that has nothing to do with a march about women's rights which they feel are being threatened and disapproval of the current president's attittude in regards to women.
Imagine me going into a pro-Trump thread and saying "They don't like Hillary because she's a woman and they're male virgins", pratically the same thing, I'd be banned for shitposting too
He can dispute his ban if he wants to, but it's not your job to do it for him.

You know Tudd, you could really benefit from getting your news and information from less biased sources.
[QUOTE=Pootis Mann;51706558]About what exactly? People protesting in Washington frankly won't change anything.[/QUOTE]
Except it's not just Washington (which has ~500,000 alone)-- it's also New York City (~200,000), Boston, Chicago (~250,000), San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles (~750,000), Oakland, Denver, Seattle, Miami... excluding the protests that are currently happening in other countries around the world I mean. It's a sea of humanity that's against him and his supporters. Millions, like the title of this thread pointed out.

Basically, most of the country has a shitload of people who are angry about this. Millions of people are protesting and marching over what's going on. There's anger and resentment, there's more than enough energy and willpower to fight for change and to resist this administration, and there's no sign of any of this dissipating soon. And it's only going to escalate at this rate, what with the way Trump and his cronies are antagonizing the press and the protestors.
But by all means, let them keep pissing people off. If the government doesn't do something to fix this problem, the people themselves will. There's more than enough of them to, one way or the other. I'm not concerned. Like that banner being flown over NYC said, "We outnumber him! Resist!"
[QUOTE=Pootis Mann;51706558]
No, you actually aren't getting anywhere. If you look at it statistically, you're going backwards. Obama had a 56% approval rating when he came into office, and Hillary has a 40%. You also can't ignore that Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the Presidential Office.[/QUOTE]
Okay I wasn't even talking in dumb us-against-them dems-against-GOP terms, but I will humour this-
Is going backwards a good thing in your opinion?

Spontaneous and grassroots my ass. I wouldn't be surprised if Soros funded more of those protests in other countries.

Sure it's multinational but this looks like more people than his inauguration :O.
Couldn't make it to the march in vancouver but I definitely would've gone otherwise.
At the St. Paul Womens' March, a Trump supporter [URL="http://www.startribune.com/thousands-flock-to-st-paul-for-women-s-march/411409885/"]shouted obscenities and fired pepper spray[/URL] into the crowd. Arrested by St. Paul police. My sister was a block away.
I just felt like posting a nice counter-Tudd. Unlike him, though, I don't feel like every single dumbass assaulting people at protests deserves its own unique thread.
The first sentence said that millions gathered in Washington
But then at the end of the paragraph it says only half a million?
Do they mean millions countrywide? That makes a bit more sense.

Estimates in DC are >500,000 - nationwide several million, so yeah, I'd assume it's nationwide.

Maybe if it was something more serious it would be worth a separate thread/headline.

Something so much more serious, like [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1548985"]sprinklers and stink bombs at the inauguration[/URL]?
I think assault's a little more serious, and the police seem to agree with me on that, but [I]clearly[/I] the "criminal threat" of assaulting people's noses and getting their clothes wet is much more deserving - especially when it's from a really [I]trusted[/I] source like Project Veritas.

I honestly don't know if you're being serious, but yes, a planned attack by a group with the goal of shutting down an entire inauguration ball is more serious than one guy who sprayed some pepper spray.

It'll give clean up men some jobs, and recycling plants some more work.

I'm just trying to point out Tudd's hypocrisy. Liberals assault a Trump supporter at a protest? Liberals are violent, headline news, everyone needs to hear about it, one thread for each event on SH. Opposite occurs? "Maybe if it was more important it'd matter."
Tired of his laughably one-sided articles when it's blatantly obvious that both sides are full of violent reactionary idiots assaulting each other for no good reason. The best part is that the "Trump supporter assaults protesters with pepper spray" is a two-sentence closer to an article about the protests - but "BLM protesters assault Trump supporter" is a long, editorialized article that Tudd hunts down and posts every time.
Just wanted to share a close-to-home example of how both sides have violent dipshits to respond to Tudd's one-sided news-spam.

I actually don't see very many assaults by Trump supporters beating up people in any headlines.
And a lot of the ones reported are hearsay or hoaxes.
It can ofcourse happen, but it does seem terribly one sided with the ones we can confirm or got video evidence on.
Also I would atleast never attempt to apologize for shit bags who need to assault people for political discourse.

I thought leftist activists against Trump cared about their environment? :v:
When was the last time people around the globe were this united? London, Sydney, Washington, Amsterdam to name just a few, if this isn't the most heartwarming thing I've ever seen I don't know anything.
Also to those saying protesting in "Undemocratic" or "Anti-American" just remember that America was born out of protests.

It's a major street in the middle of a city, maybe DC or Boston or Chicago, that's got cardboard and paper signs strewn across it-- it's not a river or aquifer or lake in the Midwest that's been poisoned by a pipeline busting and leaking thousands of gallons of oil into it, it's not a coal plant churning out tons of CO2 and pollutants into the atmosphere, it's not a heap of plastic shit being dumped into a landfill...
But whatever. Let's ignore all that and act like it's a big deal when it's not. :)

Not only that, it looks pretty cheerypicked, like the signs only go from where the cameraman is standing to that car further down the line. I mean, it's pretty inconsiderate sure but I figure that you could pick it all up in like 15-20 minutes rofl.

Nice fucking zinger dude, cardboard on the street is [i]definitely[/i] equatable to pollution in the air caused by shitty regulations, or lack thereof.
Looks like it's all already been swept into one place, so I presume this is an accumulation from a wider area. Also, if this like NYC or something, doesn't it get worse on new years' eve when there's like millions of people gathered there anyways?

I'm probably mentally ill at this point I'm so sick of this fucking narative. NOT ALL GODDAMN LEFTIST THINK LIKE THIS, HELL IM A LIBERAL WHO LOVES FUCKING GUNS, WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT.
Sorry for that, but I am getting impatient. There's something about how many Trump supporters write their statements which pissed me the fuck off. You're cool for the most part though, but the narrative your pushing here is false. I understand you're being clever, and I get it, I really do, but the time for joking about politics is over. I really do hope Trump does a good job though, even if he attracted not the best crowd.

At the end of the day it's just trash after a event by human beings.
