Well researched highly considered point making reference to my comments on manipulation, algorithms and equating that to right wing content creators...

Your trend is becoming embarrassing...

So you discounted the video without actually watching any of it? You realise a bunch of people have been warning about Project 2025 and having it dismissed as false, now it's being played out, you dismiss having it pointed out.

No you keep calling guys the other side of the same coin because you want to believe that and refuse to actually pay any attention to the content. You realise these people put their money where their mouth is and are part of the collection of legal firms that have taken action against the Trump administration for what they have done and are right now in the middle of a battle with them right?

We've been here before, the 2 sides are simply not the same. I've asked you repeatedly to show an equivalence to what the current administration is doing and you never have.

Rather than simply spewing "you're both the same" why not prove it and point out what of that video is actually factually false?

I get it, you like the content creator, they would never use mis quotes, manipulate or mislead their audience for views clips bait and money...

I like how she quoted Trump's "pro - ject 2 zero 2 five, never heard of it" that's hard hitting lol.

I could post you 20 right wing videos that a re made exactly the same as this drivel, Ben Shapiros quick talking quick quoting out of context barrage of 'news' is basically the same thing, do you watch every one of his videos?

Just because it makes you feel good, and confirms how right and smart you are, doesn't mean it's good for you, I sit through enough right and left wing stupid from the likes of Matt Walsh, Hasan Piker, TYT, Candice Owens etc to know within around 1 minute whether I can stomach the format or not.

Just had a quick scan of this channels videos... 99% anti Trump. Why do you think that is? At least 18 of the last 20 videos mention Trump in the title, I'm willing to bet the other 2 mention him also.

Trump equals ratings baby, bash Trump get rich, that's part of the reason why there are 3 new pearl clutching stories per month...

Remember the 3rd term fascist talk, remember when your favourite creators responded to Trump's speach stating he had no interest in a 3rd term and it would be unconstitutional? Remember your favourite creators commenting on the SP 500 recovery over the last few weeks? No? Just the massive 'losses' and the record drops over a day hahaha

Why is that do you think?

I have little interest in channells that just bombard anti Trumpers with anti Trump content to make them feel good.

Look at some of the titles ffs:

'I'm quitting' (he didn't quit, youtubers gonna youtube)
'Trump ordered to return kilmar Obrego Garcia' (spoiler alert, he wasn't lol).
'Columbia student deported for protesting'(lol)
'Trump takes kids lunch money'
'Elon Musk hijacks the US government'

These are hilarious Mr Beast style headlines, and he even does Mr Beast thumbnails lol, his face holding his mouth, doing the home alone face hahahaha

This is your source, your trusted factual base of news? A fame hungry lawyer who will do what he needs to build his channell, which btw is struggling over the last 3 months, averaging under 1M views most recently.

Thisnis not enjoyable content for anyone who doesn't want to just have theor feelings about Trump reaffirmed.
 
IPL has been suspended, info coming out of Kashmir is scary, small scale skirmishes have started apparently, in both Indian and Pakistan administered areas, according to friends in the region things are getting very tense. Someone in a WhatsApp group mentioned being wary of radio orders, and likened them to 'it's time to cut the tall trees', that is ******* terrifying, and people are struggling to believe any information they get.

Apparently a local reporter just outside of Delhi in Sirsa, mistook a scrap peice metal as a projectile remnants, and it scared a fairnfew people before being discounted.

Rubio is in talks with Pakistan, for all the talk of Trump not wanting to be the world police he sure as **** is jumping into everything 2 footed.

I mean... where's the fact, the backing up evidence...all you do is give opinion which, ironically for a self-identifying contrarian, is what you accuse everyone else of.

I mean, the fact that 99% ofnhisnvideos are anti Trump view farming? It's in my stating 18 of his last 20 videos all mention Trump lol.

The fact he uses Mr Beast strategiesnto farm views? They are right there in his thumbnails, oh and titles I quoted!

Which facts have I not covered? Did you even read my post?

This is a great example of someone not paying attention, you've read a few trolling commenter here, constantly insulting and calling me a contrarian, but I wonder if you've ever seen me call myself a contrarian? I don't think you have, you know why I think that? Because I've never said it, I've only ever mentioned being sceptical and healthily contrarian when it comes to stupid links posted from places like Huffpost or Daily Beast. So why exactly do you refer to me as 'self identifying contrarian'? Hahahaha
 
dirty harry said:
You are right I am a contrarian (jesus are you my missus in disguise hahaha) but I like to think of it as a mirror. I highlight untruths and inaccuracies, I get called Nazi to communists regularly, for disagreeing with both sides, it just turns out the only person on this board who is a Trump fan is Chicago kid, and he doesn't seem to rage when I mention his legal, health or food industry problems in the US, or when I criticise Trump (which I've done regularly btw, but noone seems to even read those comments).

Can you read? Look at the context!

1. It was a joke regarding my missus
2. I explain the context of it in detail, highlighting untruths and inaccuracies...

But let me ask, would you consider yourself the same against this link?



Are you now a self identified contrarian? If not, what do you like about this link?

Newark, N.J. Mayor Ras Baraka arrested at ICE facility, charged with trespassing

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center and charged with trespassing while visiting the facility with members of Congress.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

I have a hard time parsing 'Mayor of Newark' with 'charged with trespassing in a government building in Newark'

Everything they do, and then back down from, is a test to see how far they cab take things when they're going to the next step. Whether there was a trespass or not, this was a test to see how easily they can raise the level of high profile arrests...

From this article


It appears to be going further, the first article didn't make clear who owns and runs the facility, federal, state or private.

It also makes clear congress are allowed by law to enter any federal facility like this at will and without warning.

Baraka doesn't have the right to enter a federal facility under the same law, but does he have the right if invited by a Congress member? I don't know.

It appears the DHS are preparing to arrest the Congress members, for what I don't know?

All I seem to see these days is that certain agencies in the US seemed to have been studying the methods of terrifying people from the Gestapo, and day before day, they are resembling them more and more.

And in all of that you still didn't find a single point to refute and did nothing more than look at the titles.

Until you can actually refute to content, don't dismiss it.

And yes, he's an actual practicing lawyer with the channel being the side project. Just like democracy docket or Glenn kirshner, these are people who actually practiced law, they are not been shapiros or Mr beast.

So one again you can't actually refute the content, you can only attack the source because you've decided you don't like the style and can't be bothered to hear the actual argument. This from someone who keeps whining about the lack of nuance yet your own nuance extends no further than looking at video titles and 1 minute of footage. You realise the meat of the content isn't in the first minute right?

Unless you're prepared to put any effort in to refute the arguments, your opinions can be easily ignored.

Oh and that I'm quitting video? Yeah wanna know what date that was released? April 1st. Congratulations, you got played.

Legal eagle wasn't set up as an anti trump channel and I was following it before it engaged in any sort of political videos. Do you know what changed that? The frequent, rampant criminality of both Trump administrations. But again, why have a nuanced view when you can just dismiss the content because you personally don't like the style?
