washoe is German, right?

It's possible that I know more about German politics than washoe does about U.S. politics. And that's astonishing because I know very little about German politics.


yes and no, thats impossible. why would you think this? are you a german politcs expert?

kids listen to nothing else these days, or so it seems.
thats gotta leave something in people. your are largely underestimating the influence of music.

I am not underestimating the influence of music. You are overestimating the influence of Vanilla Ice. Vanilla Ice has about the same level of current cultural relevance as Andrew Dice Clay or Mr. T.

I just told you his views are representive for the whole industry pretty much. why dont you acknoledge that? thats like with the kayak you showed me which sits flat on the water and has handles, whereas the kayak I showed you sits way above the water level, which is a entirely differently constucted vessel. and yet you claim " oh you can" we could go more into detail but its the wrong thread.

people get influenced by music and their artists like nothing else. nothing else has that power.

Sigh. The joke isn't funny if I have to explain it.

I think this because you have a very poor understanding of U.S. politics, especially U.S. domestic politics, just as I have a very poor understanding of Germany politics, especially German domestic politics.

The difference between us is that I know what I don't know.


lol, Kanye is hip-hop for middle-aged dudes, sorry to rock anyone's world.

I have no problem acknowledging that you typed those words into your phone. I am not obligated to agree with you.

well you should, as Im not bsing you. the fact that other rap music experts ( and there should be quite a few here) or african american dont pile on that now confirms it.

washoe stroud not strout

i think they are going to be a major x factor in this upcoming election - they probably lean trump but i think biden could win them over with some free draft picks and an upgrade at running back


yea ok, I dont know much about this group, I dont really like them.
do you think theyre cool or something? probably not right?

sounds like you despise them, id be pretty much daccord with that.


I think Stroud is already crushing it in obvious throwing situations and the defense is solid, but if they can boost the running game then watch out, we may have a new contender in Texas

a lot has changed, they are now based in houston and led by this black man



lmao, thats hillarious!!! I was just gonna say the last one was

latin, but you knew of course.

For the very few people who make less than minimum wage and who would keep their jobs with bump in MW it is a good thing, but for an overwhelming majority of the US population (90%?) the increase is a bad thing.

The problem with your theory that raising MW at the local level is a net positive is that to pay those higher rates we are 1) artificially raising the prices of every single good and service people buy AND

Baham never understand there is a limit what “the most productive “ human being can do with money .
It’s not a linear constant ….
The economy is never linear !


That is why u see for the last 15 years stocks prices going up.
With the surplus of cash corporations and the rich are just doing buybacks and banks holdings reserves because they have no place else to invest anymore, unless offshoring jobs which I guess baham thinks it’s great .
They have too much money while the real productivity of an economy -> the real economy can’t propres enough with lack of capital .

Baham will never get that since the only economy theory he knows is one from the 1960 .
Can’t grasp economies evolves and a globalize economy is much different .


So trump is still basically a racist a neo nazi/ the clan now?

how do they explain the stroud boys?

You haven't got the memo yet? Remember on the right racist on the left not racist


stroud boys could ultimately vote for biden


by lozen k

You haven't got the memo yet? Remember on the right racist on the left not racist


yeah right the memo... still dumbfounded by it.

and then they call trump the greatest liar. lmao


I don't know that trump is that sort of racist like, say, stephen miller. Trump could just give a rat's ass if anyone is a racist, or nazi, or whatever. As long as they kneel to him.

Trump's isms are power and money. Those that have it - good. Those that don't - screw you, but give me what you have anyway. Which makes the legions of trumpers all that more stupid.


by rickroll k

stroud boys could ultimately vote for biden


youre kidding...


by washoe k

youre kidding...

not at all, their base is 56% black now


and if you just look at houston, which is where they are based, whites are a severe minority there


and as we all know

So, if they were better off under Trump than they are under Biden why would voting for him again make them stupid?

They aren't.

The only trumper that I've personally known better than seeing them fly huge flags on their boats, left the country before Biden's inauguration because he was going to ruin the country. Trumpers decided they were going to be worse off before it even happened.

Yeah but we get democrats who say I’m moving to Canada if Trump wins

I’d be curious why folks feel Trump is a racist?
Policies or what he said ?

Washoe is a native American tribe name around Lake Tahoe. It turns out they were incredibly self supporting and didn't need help at all or suffer from poverty once the European Immigrants went west.

Its not that Trump is necessarily racist its that he repeatedly says racist things.

All of his immigration stuff is based on limiting Blacks and Hispanics from crossing the border. At no time has he insinuated anything about white immigrants because basically he wants to appeal to white supremacists in the US. His claims that Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers are basically comical. Immigrants into the US commit about 50% less crimes than people who are already here (US born citizens) and Donald Trump himself is a rapist.

As far as his personal life he has had black people in positions of power. Like the woman from the Apprentice and Herman Cain (until he died from Covid after attending an indoor Trump rally). But he was as nasty to her as he is to everyone who leaves on a bad note or who refuses to go along with what will help him.
