FYI. I can't stand both Trump and Biden with most Democrats and Republicans to boot. They are all crooks looking to get their sheep enraged to do their dirty work for them! There are a few good ones in both parties who actually do their job sometimes.



Politicians work for the big money in the end. They wouldn't spend billions lobbying if that's not the case. And this derangement syndrome is just a play word they use to deflect. Most people ik and I work with are intelligent n know whoever is in charge, it doesn't really matter. You are best to just adapt n take advantage of the charging laws n taxes. The wind blows one direction one day and the other the next day

I dunno bro I aint Trump. Do you have access to the information he has? Please share on this basketball forum. You are saying things as fact that are your opinion shaped by whatever propanganda you are reading. Thanks.



You do know that he's the only president that stopped getting the daily briefing because it was early morning and it's was boring n hard for him to keep up w all different countries and foreign names. This is a fact. He likes to sleep late binge tweeting and watching TV that his team had to schedule all his meetings in the afternoon. Do some research if you think this is all propaganda. I'm not all anti-one party.

I'll bet that the intelligence agency are more up to what's going on than he does, because it's what they do daily. Where does Trump get the info that would contridict his own appointed intelligence team? And if two sides say different things at a given moment, I'll go w the intelligence than the "they eat dogs and cats" guy. If you think this is not a logical conclusion but a propaganda, idk where your head is at?


Zo, it’s all propaganda. Every single piece of info. Hell I read the propaganda too and sometimes I believe it. I am not saying you lack intelligence for following it, I am saying it’s propaganda so plz don’t consider it an attack on you.

As far as what Trump does with intel briefings, no I was not aware of that. But just like badmofo said in his post, I aint a Trump sycophant either. I think he’s a selfish egotistical human being. With that said, I think he is using that ego to try to win the nobel peace prize. So can’t hate the guy for wanting peace.

True, most things we read may be biased to a degree, but i think we can deduce some truth especially if you don't follow one source for all your info. My journalism professor told us we should read at least three different newspapers a day. 5 if you got time. Eventually you see how each covers a same event differently.

Is Trump using the presidency for his own gain? That's obvious w the Trump memecoin and now Trump phone. But I'm not mad at him. He's who he is. It's just sad everyone is basically allowing him to.
Will he do some good things too? Sure. I'm happy about pro-crypto administration. It's self-serving w his memecoin, but I and many do get to benefit.
Like I said, all we can do is adapt n thrive whatever changes come n whoever is in charge.
I seriously want the next president, Republican or Dem, to make a memecoin and pocket billions too. Hey, why not?

The problem is most newspapers these days are owned by large conglomerates so they pretty much offer an echo chamber. Using twitter can help with sorting out BS, but people can use the truth to still tell a lie. Personally, I like to go right into the hornets nest of people I disagree with and get them to challenge my ideas. Twitter used to be great for that, but now there’s so much propaganda serving various interests that it’s almost impossible to have a conversation without someone trying to make your life hell for disagreement.

Not really actually....just that it's a big law firm, so you're bound to buck up a lot of disagreeable people. I'm not on-site anymore, but I still get along with a lot of conservatives, including ideologues on either side.

This may sound odd, but I find ideologues easier to talk to because I can discern where they get their news & just know they're repeating what they heard....watch enough cable news & you can pick up on it. With them, I'd just ask questions.

Oof that grind for big law.

Ideologues I find difficult to talk to because you can’t even to get on the same page of facts and I think that’s by design by big tech. We’re fracturing as a society. Microsocieties are replacing a larger society where people just reinforce their existing ideas and “journalists” write about stuff to appeal to these various microsocieties because they know it will get clicks. Not sure what can be done at this point about that, even asking questions is tough if you can’t agree on facts to ask questions on.

Looked for verification of that number. Tried to find the most non-biased source I could locate. So I found a france24 fact check on it. I figure French people have little to no skin in the game to support one side or another. Per the article:

Social media users, including high-profile politicians and media outlets, are sharing an alleged new Harvard study indicating that 377,000 people are missing in Gaza. However, the study was not even conducted by Harvard University and the viral estimate is based on erroneous calculations.

https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20250624-a-harvard-report-reveals-377-000-missing-in-gaza

Accuracy is important in information. I encourage you to verify your own assertions that you get from other people. Like I said, everything is propaganda. If you think france24 is a biased source lmk.

I’m confused are you saying there’s nothing going on in Gaza despite multiple tangible sources claiming there’s massive civilian casualties that go unreported by the media?

I am saying the study your linked tweet is talking about is disinformation and does nothing to benefit anyone. If you disagree with the fact check I linked, lmk. But like I said, I tried to find as non-biased of a source as I could.

Fair enough I’m not one to say every source is real or legitimate.

However these are the numbers on Red Cross which is rather reliable source:

•After weeks without any aid able to enter, Gaza faces a critical risk of famine.
•470,000 people in Gaza face starvation – that's 22% of the population.
•More than 52,000 people have died and at least 118,000 have been injured in Gaza.
•The healthcare system is on the edge of collapse.
90% of the population has been forced to flee their homes.
•Families of those held hostage in Gaza remain caught between hope and despair as they desperately await news of their loved ones.

Have you heard of the Gaza humanitarian foundation? It looks like they are doing some great things for Gaza. Hope they can keep it up.
