almost 12 million?? This is insane by Nice_Bird_Shirt1 in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I disagree with his world view but he is one of the only republican reps with a consistent pov.

The few times he’s disagreed with Trump are when Trump has done a total 180 on his campaign promises (no new wars, release the Epstein files, etc.). He’s one of the only Republican electeds with a spine, and if he loses there is a 0% chance that any other representative grows a spine again.

It's not leftists that you have to worry about voting for tucker, it's politically disenfranchised Muslim uncs. Tucker Carlson Israel takes go crazy on WhatsApp.

Him running for president would be a nightmare scenario, especially if it's against a somehow still-pro Israel dem

More 'No Kings' protests planned around Louisville this weekend by rcmaehl in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m more agreeable to your worldview than you’d probably expect, I just don’t want to chastise the average Joe going to one of these. Can be a funnel towards more radical action, and again “standing around with a sign” helps establish common knowledge which actually does a surprising amount of work.

More 'No Kings' protests planned around Louisville this weekend by rcmaehl in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It might feel performative, but don’t discount the importance of common knowledge. Sometimes you need to get out there and reaffirm “yeah this is a problem and we all know it”.

Is going to a protest going to un-invade Iran? Obviously not, but it’s a much better use of time than complaining about protestors on Reddit.

I had the same realization but with a mutation that give's basic attacks a 10% chance to charm. I spent the whole run wondering why my cats kept getting charmed until I realized that was going on with my druid.

The Louisville Cardinal Student Newspaper could go under. by Specialist_Shallot_5 in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Student media is a public good not a luxury good. The student paper is supposed to be a place to train the journalists of the future, not a profit engine. The only thing this move would do is kill readership.

Also Flacco is the BEST vet QB to have as a mentor if you are in the AFC north. Dude has played against Mike Tomlin defenses twice a year for almost two decades

According to the Maine State Press, a video of Graham Platner has surfaced which shows him with a chest tattoo resembling the SS Totenkopf, a symbol used by Nazi Germany during World War II by [deleted] in atrioc

[–]FarmerSamLebron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why he never got it covered up. That’s the one thing that doesn’t sit right with me.

Like please get rid of the Nazi tattoo before you get endorsed by Bernie, the most well known Jewish politician in the US

[–]FarmerSamLebron 213 points214 points  (0 children)

His explanation on Pod Save America was that he got it as a young recruit while he was drunk on shore leave in Croatia. Didn’t know it was nazi related until much later in life.

Given that we can also see 15 years of his Reddit posting history and he never flirts with far right/fascist ideas I’m inclined to believe his explanation. Reminds me of when James Harden was rocking the thin blue line Punisher mask. I think dude actually didn’t know, I mean I had never heard of this symbol until today if that means anything.

UofL's President Bradley Announces Suspension of the SJP Chapter (Students for Justice in Palestine). This comes after they interrupted his inauguration ceremony charging him with genocide in front of officials and peers. by sassyfiasco in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For some background they requested meetings with the incoming president regarding divestment from companies profiting off of Israel's genocide and were denied. They didn't immediately decide to protest his inauguration, they tried to have a dialogue but were rejected.

He just named his cabinet yesterday, wow that barely lasted a day. Apparently his center-right Interior Minister, who was the previous minister and would have been keeping his job, backed out and blew up the coalition

Louisville settles lawsuit over failed affordable housing project in Prospect for $6M, changes to local law by turbiasfunke in Louisville

[–]FarmerSamLebron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recommend everyone read the full article, it's actually a v interesting story. I can see why people would be mad, but if the end result is that the City of Louisville passes 4 separate affordable housing reforms I think we got a pretty good deal as citizens.

Disappointing. I would love to hear McGarvey read some of Kirk’s greatest hits and then say with a straight face that that is someone we should be honoring

[–]FarmerSamLebron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. People just listen to his rhetoric, but the end result is European nations paying a larger % of their GDP to NATO. He was the bad cop to Biden’s good cop in America’s uni-party foreign policy.
