Except this is what the left is saying. Not being made up. https://www.euronews.com/culture/2025/07/29/explained-why-is-sydney-sweeneys-american-eagle-fashion-ad-being-called-tone-deaf-and-nazi By David Mouriquand Published on 29/07/2025 - 16:36 GMT+2 American fashion retailer American Eagle and Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney have been the subject of fierce criticism for a jeans advert which was aimed at raising awareness about domestic abuse. Instead, the campaign has sparked backlash over racial undertones. Here’s everything you need to know. A new ad campaign featuring Euphoria and White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney has sparked fierce backlash over racial undertones, leading some to label it as “tone-deaf” and even “Nazi”. So it is right there. The right is not making this up. It is what the wokesters are saying. mspart

They were setting it up for everyone to expect it was a white guy that shot people to death. Like I said earlier, there is a thread on this board about how white conservatives are the most dangerous people. This plays into that. Somebody shot up people, must be a white guy. Or is probably a white guy. It portrays the political leanings of an individual that would do this. CNN wants so badly to be politically in the middle yet just can't ween themselves off of this leftist ideology. It is apparent and there for all to see. That is what the fuss is about. Another example of rapant leftist media doing what they do and leftists are saying - "What? I don't see a problem. Everyone knows most shooting crime is done by whites. So he probably was white. " We have an example of that right here in this thread. mspart

Why does the ad hark back to Nazi times? I think that is where the issue is. I heard it on the weird radio!! mspart

If there is no pic, then why say he is possibly white? you have no idea but spew forth a possibility. It doesn't work and they got caught. They have acknowledged it according to you but did they offer a retraction? I don't know. But they wanted so much for it to be a white guy that without even seen a pic they said it was possibly a white guy. In your geology classes that you taught, I'm sure you said it was perfectly acceptable to identify a rock a person had not seen by saying this unknown mineral was possibly quartz. I have not seen you and I could say you are possibly an asian cheese head. I could be right. I could be wrong. What is the harm in saying it if I COULD be right? That is your position and that is the wrong position. If you don't know, you don't say. That seems to be the way the world works in general. mspart

But he caved. He is a caver. Talks big and then caves. GB and EU both sign trade deals that lower the tariffs they charge on US goods and raise tariffs on GB/EU goods. My preference would be 0% tariffs but GB/EU don't want that. I don't know why. I'd rather have a Mars bar than a Milky Way bar anyday. mspart

cis white possible woman and cis black/non white possible man. i think that is the proper way to say it. mspart

It was not anyone but CNN that caused this. They claim a guy is possibly white. Well that is a pretty good guess because more people in this country are white than any other race. So they have a really good chance of being right by saying this. But seeing the pic, it seems a strange way to describe a guy. Why not say he is possibly black? Or possibly a middle eastern? Or possibly south american? Or possibly an asian? Or possibly native american? No, they chose to say possibly white because the most dangerous people in the country are white as a thread on this board already discusses. mspart

Perhaps not, but it has been months and months and you can't find any info on the progress, or you would have stated the info. mspart

No no no no no, that is not how it works padawan. 2025 there will be 300, 2026, there will be 600, 2027, there will be 1000 total, 2028 there will be 1500 total, 2029 there will be 50000 total, 2030 there will be 500k total. It is the D expectation curve of wishful thinking. Under perform in the beginning humiliate completely alienate and humilate your core supporters, and do so for years, and then all of the sudden, it will happen and the goal will be met. The above is just a fantasy. WA is the most green state in the union except taht we aren't. Haven;t met a single climate goal yet, but we are paying lots of money for it. Just gave us the highest tax increase in history so that we can be even more green with no mandatory reporting of progress or anything. One WA guy went to court to get a WA gov report and the court said he didn't have standing. That's how we roll in the PNW. mspart

Has LA rebuilt from the fires? Have they started? Are they processing permits to do so? mspart

There is lots to criticize about American politics and democracy. That's why plenty are coming here from other countries. It's so bad here we import more folks than any other nation. It's so bad ..... mspart

You might try reading your own posts. You said it, now own it. mspart

Way subsidized here in WA where diesel is 5.00/gallon at the cheapest. But it is because the oil companies hate WA. They don't hate Idaho or Oregon where the prices of fuel are cheaper. But they hate CA too. Funny how Oregon escapes the wrath of the oil companies as well as most other states in the union. mspart

Not laying incredible taxes on fuel. mspart

I do not deny that. But they would do a better job? That stretches incredulity. mspart

Another case of Trump caving in the tariff war. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/28/eu-us-trade-deal-tariffs-european-union-five-key-takeaways 1. The deal in a nutshell The centrepiece is a 15% baseline tariff on EU exports to the US, with the exception of steel which is still being taxed at 50%. Car imports, which are being taxed at 27.5% can be sold – from Friday – at a 15% rate. The EU has also committed to buying $750bn (£560bn) in energy from the US over three years and has sweetened the look of the deal by aggregating all the known investment commitments and claiming they are going to invest $600bn (£450bn) into the US. This allowed Trump to declare the deal bigger than Japan’s which promised $550bn of investments. In all, the tariffs will apply to 70% of EU exports worth €380bn a year. In the other direction, US exports to the EU including cars, currently at 10%, will be duty free. 2. And the winner is? Donald Trump. Many financial institutions have remarked on what they believe is an “asymmetrical deal” that imposes tariffs of 15% on most EU exports including cars; involves the EU buying $750bn worth of energy and ends a decades old World Trade Organization agreement that pharmaceuticals are traded at zero percent tariff. mspart

Have you seen those video of people off the street that don't know where the capital of the US is? People who don't know who the first president was? When the civil war was fought and who fought it? Yep some random guy would be better. mspart

Are you saying prices in 2025 rose a little bit after they rose by a huge amount the preceding 4 years? Great chart to show the truth of the situation. Notice how the charts pretty much stabilize toward the end. Indictment of Trump for sure. If he is to blame for stabilizing prices, who is to blame for having them rise so much? mspart

If its true? Ha ha. That would be a problem with both Joe and Hunter. More so Joe because he was supposed to know better. I'm calling hyperbole on your Trump statement. I'm not saying he's not corrupt, but to be 1000x more corrupt than Biden is saying Biden was not corrupt. He didn't even know who was using the autopen. https://nypost.com/2025/01/18/us-news/president-biden-insisted-he-didnt-sign-executive-order-just-weeks-after-doing-so-speaker-mike-johnson/ Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals mspart
