Here is a lil Cabal tidbit for those watching RNC tonight
They will be perfoming Nessume Dorme which translates to "none will sleep"
The song was used in Sum of all Fears at the end when they kill the DeepStaters who tried to start WW3
Incidently Q referenced the term Sum of All Fears many times
Tremendous song to end the RNC and send a message to the DS at the same time.
It’s pretty apparent politics have caused massive dividing lines to everything we do . But just remember the conspiracy theories come from both sides . There’s plenty of nut jobs saying Trump staged this event . Is that really any crazieIt's not just Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass. In the wake of the violent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump's life, plenty of people took to social media to make jokes and comments, and they're reaping the consequences.
School employees, a restaurant worker, a fire chief and a political aidehave all lost their jobs or resigned after outrage over their posts, according to statements by their employers and news reports.
Meanwhile, Jack Black ‒ the other member of the Tenacious D duo ‒ said he was "blindsided" as he announced he was ending the rest of their tour and would pause any plans to work with Gass again in the future.
Gass briefly complained on stage that the shooter had missed – a sentiment repeated in various forms across social media in the hours after the assassination attempt.
Celebrities' comments are certainly in the spotlight after a tragic incident, but regular people need to be careful about what they say, too, even if it is meant in jest, communications experts say. Joking about an assassination attempt that left a citizen dead is going too far.
"No matter how private your life is, everybody has an audience," said Karen North, a professor of digital social media at the University of South California and a psychologist. "And there’s always an audience for people misbehaving."
TENACIOUS D: Jack Black's bandmate, Donald Trump and when jokes go too far
Social media posts end in firings, resignations
An instructor at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky, was put on unpaid leave over what university officials said on Monday was an "offensive and unacceptable social media post." By Tuesday, John James was no longer employed there, though it's not clear if he resigned or was fired, the Louisville Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported.
James' comments about the shooter missing were screenshotted and posted by the conservative social media account Libs of TikTok.
"Words and actions that condone violence are unacceptable and contrary to our values, which call for respecting the intrinsic value and dignity of every individual," Jason Cissell, assistant vice president for communication at Bellarmine, said in a statement to the Courier Journal.
James didn't respond to a request for comment.
Similar comments about the shooting made by other non-celebrities have prompted backlash, too.
Another post by Libs of TikTok highlighted comments made by a worker at the Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant with locations in several states. The restaurant later said in a post that the worker was no longer employed and had violated its social media policy.
Others out of a job include a middle school behavior facilitator in South Dakota and a Pennsylvania fire chief. In Wayne, Pennsylvania, the Wayne Business Association said its secretary resigned after a post about the shooting.
Campaign signs and empty water bottles are seen on the ground of a campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Social media is the 'town square': Be careful what you say online
The idea that people should be fired for their social media posts has come from all sides of the political spectrum in recent years, North said. But this time, people should be able to agree some comments are inappropriate.
"When it comes to things like wishing somebody died, there is nothing more horrible than making public statements about that," she said.
Social media removes the social cues we get from typical interactions. If you start to make an inappropriate comment or joke among work colleagues, for example, you might notice them cringe or look away, and then apologize and walk back what you said. When you post something online, the reaction comes later, North said.
The desire to be the first to share an idea with your circle might prevent you from asking yourself whether you'd say this to an audience, or whether it should be kept around the dinner table with immediate family, North said. And remember the cardinal rule of social media: Once it's out there, it's out there forever.
"Social media has become the town square," she said, "where people are put in the stocks and held out there to be humiliated because of their actions."
This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Not just Tenacious D: People lose jobs over Trump shooting comments
what about the whackos who are saying Trump staged this .? Is that really any crazier than the whackos on the other side ? Trump is an asshole and it’s to bad we can’t just vote for his policies .The guy is a bag of milk. What’s gonna happen next probably Biden steps down and by the time they get to convention they secure money and move there shit show forward. If Trump wasn’t such an asshole this would be locked up.
They wouldn't have missed and they'd have multiple shooters
Plus a few of them would be like 100+ years old by now.
What has Trump done to you fella except try to make the world you live in a better place?
You dont like him for whatver reason , his personality strikes you the wrong way , fair enough BUT what other guy except THIS "ASSHOLE"
can stand up to the DeepState ( which I guess you think doesnt even exist?) and the Evil like him
Show some gratitude AT LEAST.
Why is it a supposed wacky conspiracy theory to suggest the SS /Cia/FBI or some combo of the 3 was in on it.....Havent you seen the govt try and take him down in every OTHER fashion over the last 8 years or so?
Wake up and Wisen Up Pal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superficial poppycock
At the end of the day, it's all about policy and success. Not the stuff important to Joy Reid or Morning Joe or the View
1. Trump did mention that he had a speech but rewrote it after the Hit Attempt.
2. If there was EVER a time for a wee bit of softness I think last night was the best time to show it.....the calm before the storm so to speak
3. Interesting article/post from Cates from Wed..... (for the records Im mainly neutral on Cates but he often makes good points)
Read all of this. This is EXACTLY where I think Trump is headed. We have to forgive the people who are only now CHANGING THEIR MINDS as the Overton Window quickly shifts and they begin renouncing and apologizing for their former words and actions. They’re brainwashed/programmed/go with the flow people. They’re not Machiavellian evil demons. Don’t confuse the programmed with the programmers.
Don’t confuse the brainwashed for the ones who abused them. Understand? Because Trump does. And he’s going to give the speech of the century tomorrow night where he extends the olive branch of peace and unity to the brainwashed who are now slowly breaking their programming at last and waking up. Turning to Trump and supporting his leadership at this crucial time in our nation’s history means casting off forever the truly evil influence of the programmers and the brain washers. This MUST happen. It is a vital necessity for making this nation great again.
Therefore, be on the alert for those who either through stupidity or malice do not make any distinction between the controllers and the controlled, who will insist we need to reject the vast majority of these people Trump is reaching out to. Not all who claim to be MAGA are MAGA. Not all will support Trump’s call for healing and unity. Even some who have achieved high influence and visibility within MAGA.
There are those who thrive on the division, on the hate, they make bank from it, and so just from a financial standpoint they’re gonna loudly fight what Trump is attempting to accomplish right now. For others it’s not money, they have a hidden agenda and they’ve infiltrated to try gain influence and to try to ‘steer’ the movement where they want it to go while always giving Trump lip service, pretending to support him. Both types are now going to be forced to act and speak out against where Trump is leading us. Some have already started. Pay attention. Be discerning.
I understand wanting to keep poly contained BUT there is plenty of non sports on the first page
AND this is a pretty big deal and its not like there are sports topics being supressed as the first page of Main forum goes back OVER a week.
RX continues to try and outsmart themselves.
