Global Events & Politics Überthread

yeah, what's the agenda?

lol

i find it crazy you and yours get that worked up over that and just shrug off all the lies out of the whitehouse lol
 
I remember when this guy got upset over "shut up and dribble"

Impossible to ever take these hypocrites serious. All of their outrage is so fragile

The pivot of republicans trying to act like they care about China is a hell of a pivot
 
LOL, I thought LeBron’s take was bad, for sure. But I think some salient points here are that:
A) Republicans are thrilled to be talking about anything other than Ukraine or Syria. Boo, rich, nominally liberal pro athletes!
B) Corporate America does the same dance wrt China 24/7/365. Seeing pro athletes and coaches getting raked over the coals and taking the heat from politicians is...I dunno. Seems kinda misplaced?
 
A) China is much more important and has much more consequences to human rights than Ukraine

B) Corporate america bending over backwards to appease the communists is shameful... but they aren't constantly talking about civil issues in the US like the NBA folks freely do... so they hypocrisy isn't quite as blatant
 
Human rights. GTFO with the current iteration of the Republican Party giving a **** about anything of the sort.
 
LeBron James is a professional athlete. Why in the world does anyone give weight to his take on issues about which he has no particular knowledge or insight.
 
I think it would be cool if the NBA just ditched China. But that’s not, what, uh, capitalists do, is it?
