When the "leader of the religious world":

...is more progressive than the "leader of the free world", you know America is Fucked.
- I like the "...you know America is Fucked" tagline; reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy "You know you're a redneck when..." bit.
: )ideaist - I was going to make some arsey comment, but beyond him and the Dalai Lama perhaps, I can't think of any global religious heads. He is, isn't he?Nairn
- Or maybe it's an indication that the Catholic church is fucked...MondoMorphic
- ...and your feeling that progressiveness is the end all be all is so much of what is fucked about the world. The woke BS, identity politics, and related idiocyMondoMorphic

- Le Bon Marché is basically the most famous mall in Europe and maybe in the world.sted
- Amazing. Gallup and New Mexico in general is quite the trip, signage that makes you question whether you've crossed a state line or a time continuum.garbage
- I once had two near-death experiences in NM on the same night. It's a wild place, I love it.garbage
- @sted Both Illum And Magasin Du Nord have about the same footprint as Le Bon... I think the size, curation of selection as well as in store amenitiesjonny_quest_lives
- make them more sustainable than an American mall with it's sprall and disparate shopping selections and food court. the scale of American malls is depressing.jonny_quest_lives

- just don't think abandoned/dead malls are the end of America... Maybe revisit the footprint/amenities and reduction in scale more catered to the communityjonny_quest_lives
- or convert them all to data centers and revamp the the nation's bandwidth.jonny_quest_lives
- @jonny Malls were going the way of the dinosaur about 20 years ago. They're not coming back. Amazon caters to the community now.garbage
- If you actually live in a town that have these malls then you know that they just move to a new development on the other side of town every 15-20 years.toemaas

No question I’m against Trump but in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, it seems wise not to rush to judgement and add fuel to the fire. I just watched this video and I gotta say, it offers a convincing defense:
Kyle Rittenhouse - The Truth in 11 Minutes:
https://video.link/w/G0pgbYouTube took down the video:
I'm onboard with 90 percent of the political opinions on QBN but after watching this it’s impossible not to understand why people on the right are angry and afraid too.
It’s hard to know what/who to believe these days. The video was produced by Rittenhouse’s legal defense team which is quite possibly a red flag. The video is no doubt biased towards Rittenhouse and much speculation is espoused. Just say’n. At the moment. This video offers a convincing defense.
I am bewildered we do not have better leadership options available in this country.
I am disturbed how many people have guns. Especially a 17-year-old kid.Hopefully this moment of disruption will soon pass and humanity will self-correct, as it has done so often, and we’ll all land in a better place.
We’re all fucked if we can’t get a better handle on vetting the truth before rushing to judgement.
- Kyle drove from another state.teh
- Kyle is a hero because everyone else had criminal backgrounds. What a cunt!teh
- Right. Supposedly he answered a Facebook call to help defend local businesses. It’s inexcusable that a 17-year-old vigilante showed up with a gun.eggsnbacon
- All I’m saying is that the video offers a compelling argument he acted in self-defense. Innocent until proven guilty.eggsnbacon
- I don’t want to get suckered into playing Trump’s game of stoking the flames.eggsnbacon
- See 1st comment.teh
- He’s underage, brought an AR-15 across state lines and used it to murder 2 people and wound another ...
Guilty ... end of Fucking story.Ramanisky2 - Agreed. The video is biased in many ways.
But it seems wise to hold off on the hasty character assassinations.eggsnbacon - Using Kyle as a canvas for which all animus can be projected. It hurts the righteous cause to remove Trump.eggsnbacon
- oh here we go again... there can be no compelling argument made for a 17 year old taking an illegal firearm across state lines and killing two peoplejonny_quest_lives
- other than his mother should be on trial as well...jonny_quest_lives
- ^ BINGORamanisky2
- it looked like self defence from the beginning, Rosenbaum was acting like an agro idiot. How and why he was there is another story._niko
- https://docs.legis.w…jonny_quest_lives
- Once he's extradited to Wisconsin and stands trial as an adult it will all be sorted out...jonny_quest_lives
- The fact is no one required/hired him to be there that night. He wasn't tasked with protecting anything he was not a Law Enforcement Officer of any kind...jonny_quest_lives
- https://www.theatlan…jonny_quest_lives
- A parent gives their kid a gun. He carries it across states lines to a riot. Guilty.
The likelihood of violence was high. The adults in Kyle’s life failed him.eggsnbacon - Murder vs. Self-defense. TBD.eggsnbacon
- Thank you _niko for the confirmation. Truly.
I was beginning to worry that my eyeballs were broken.eggsnbacon - Indeed. Let’s hope the criminal justice system™ sorts it.eggsnbacon
- ^ the justice system that is lead by Bill Barr?? That justice system?? lolRamanisky2
- A 17 year old with an assault rifle? Sounds like NOT GUILTY to me!nb
- there are at least 5 videos showing the timeline to be completely the opposite. Did you prefer the editing style in this one?fadein11
- I have no preference other than justice.
Compiled or not, the raw footage is fairly exculpatory.eggsnbacon - A lynch mob won’t accomplish the long-term desired result.
I’ll excuse myself and wish you all well.eggsnbacon - If Kyle was black he'd be sentenced to life without parole by now.Maaku
- If he was black the cops would have shot him about 100 times as he was leaving the scene of the crimeyuekit
- Character assassination not needed. He made himself a criminal by his actions and should be tried as such. Jesus, what's to debate here?ben_
- Self defence. A cunt with a gun shot some other cunts with guns.Hayzilla

- And then you have somewhere like London where many of the rich and poor live practically cheek to jowel - rich and 'poor' neighbourhoods, side by side.Nairn
- And I imagine that, comparatively, the wealth of the rich here utterly dwarves that of Ms MiddleClass Cunt here, with her fucking stone cladding lol. Classy.Nairn
- First place I lived in LDN was an ex-council flat and 250m away was then Prime Minister, Tony Blair's house. In between, Pentonville Prison.Nairn
- The thought of these hoitytoity aspirational class cunts segregating themselves along virtuous or worthy lines is pathetic and laughable. Fuck your 'burb.Nairn
- /inverseDeathboyNairn
- "I feel so bad saying it, but..." is a good sign that you're a bad person who thinks they're a good person despite knowing deep down that you're a bad person.nb
- Yeah, that was some pretty bewildering cognitive dissonance there.Nairn

one major issue is that americans don't have the political education to understand their own definitions of "left" and "right" are not relative to the politics of history.
basically, in meme:
- like most americans might not say their politics are "right wing," but by default supporting a major party is.colin_s
- not sure taking your definitions from a wrong meme is any more useful.Fax_Benson
- it's obviously a CIA joke, however the actuality of the political spectrum/where these politicians stand is much closer to the european scale.colin_s
- trump lies on the left because he lies about being left on manufacturing to take votes from the center :Dkingsteven
- The spectrum is relative. It’s defined by the scope of the people or parties within the scope. What you’ve written here means nothing without context.nb
- If you don’t identify your frame of reference, you’re doing nothing different than someone who shares charts with no units of measurement.nb
- i'd tend to agree with that stance. i think to american politics doesn't really have the scope to be far right. in europe it would be all center right...kingsteven

This was announced a while back but coming in to force October 2nd. The increase is from $460 to $705, or $1,440 for a fast-track application which may not seem like much but bands in Europe generally use local companies to sort the paperwork that have their own charges on top. When you add flights, tour backline hire and driver/ tour management - touring the states was already a cash hole for many mid level bands...
Crucially the applications will take longer to process too (even the fast-track applications moving from 15 calendar days to 15 working days) ... From personal experience the last time the indie band I played in were invited to SXSW we had 3 shows lined up in Austin and half a two week tour planned around it. Visa applications (non fast-track) were costing £2k for 3 people (we were quoted 5k by firm in Dublin for the same). Of course you also have to book your flights and spunk a couple grand in other non-refundable charges months in advance of actually having your visa applications granted - We'd even been offered funding from the british council to cover flights, but the funding was dependant on the successful visa - it was a choice for us between potentially being a couple of grand down for a US tour or Recording and Pressing another LP and touring Europe (while making a small profit) already a no brainer for most... Given how fucked the music industry is now i'd say this is the final nail in the coffin for many well known bands touring the US.
- Quietus? I read this yesterday, seems entirely fucked in the head. Simply not spending as much on viagra for military personnel would easily negate the cost.face_melter
- hah, yeah i screengrabbed the quietus article and then realised all the info i read was linked via another site to the forbes article...kingsteven
- That's not that bad considering u get to be in the mutha fuckin usa. Unless u don't want to be heredeathboy
- "durrr, what is band" the point is no, you bourgeois fuck.kingsteven
- 200 bucks is supply and demand (arbitrarily by gov) buddy. got something everyone wants you can raise the price. or just need more capital wasting money ondeathboy
- leftist ideals and looking for any non voting/ non demo to fleece to pay for it.deathboy
- haha, big supporter of the govt now are you db? the entire point is that the demand does not exist.kingsteven
- fuckboy, next time you think about commenting on something you know nothing about remember this important message: get fucked, you fucking clown.face_melter
- Actually immigration into the US is #1. I'd say that is what people might deem "demand"deathboy
- and think of it this way king. can you make more investing 200 here vs where you are at?deathboy
- and as the country keeps getting more socialist it will have to clamp down even farther on immigration policies becuase of dead beats and costsdeathboy
- i fully love who hate the price and ignore the reward while people risk there lives on the border to come illegally and work as off knowing the rewarddeathboy
- i'd take those types any day over your commie ass.deathboy
- but im happy your commie ass gets burned by gov bureacracy vs capitalism you hate. Makes you sound like a capitalism supporterdeathboy
- i lived in the US for years dickhead, settled back in ireland with all the other retirees :D not all trade is capitalism, im posting to inform americans of akingsteven
- cultural drought, when a ton of european groups choose to ignore the american market. because europe is a dream to tour in comparison.kingsteven
- But u don't have us citizenship and don't want to pay price to come back. If nothing big to gain don't come backdeathboy
- U want to call w here because u see value. Is is not more than if pay?. If not it's not fair n your best interestsdeathboy
- well i don't know what you're getting at here at all i can go on a holiday whenever i want. bands play where they are asked to play and promoters, venues, tourkingsteven
- support staff locally profit from them doing so. it drives a grassroots economy and is rarely profitable for the musicians... a futile existence, making stuff.kingsteven
