Watch his new video, Framed. New stuff.

Seems mentally healthy to rap about murdering women!

Under the guise of art, no doubt!

This is what people do when they feel their relevance fading!

Wonder if Dre' is still locked in his basement?

I meant the part about Ivanka in the trunk. 2:35 mark. It was brief. I can imagine somebody on the right trying to get some traffic off of this, evil liberal, violent angle.

I want to ping somebody like Hannity, just to see if I can get him to talk about it, haha. They love this kind of stuff. Some people mentioning it:

I remember when this came out, great album to work out to, I thought somebody would get him (the rapper) but he's still alive. Bush Killa

No doubt!

I missed the Ivanka name drop, have to watch again. At the beginning I was like, this is trash, but by the end I was singing along, "I was Fraaaaaaaammmmmmeeeeeeedddddddd" ! Lol! I was always a huge fan and turned my youngest daughter on to him, as she has seen him in concert a few times. Like most of the lefty singers I love, Bruce, Bon Jovi, U2, Madonna. I can't stand when they bring politics onto the stage after I paid money to come see them. Not sure why they think I care (or anyone for that matter) what their political viewpoints are. Because I don't, unless it's in a good song, which is what I came here to hear! So shut up and play "Rosalita"!

I am a U2 fan, did see them in concert in Germany back in the day, girl in English class first introduced them to me. Especially their early albums, went kind of hard. Political but in their songs and something that meant something to them. Especially, the War album. From a song about nuclear proliferation, Polish solidarity movement, this incident:

Sunday Bloody Sunday
"In Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 13 unarmed civil rights demonstrators are shot dead by British Army paratroopers in an event that becomes known as “Bloody Sunday.” The protesters, all Northern Catholics, were marching in protest of the British policy of internment of suspected Irish nationalists."

I think the kids nowadays just know them for sneaking a song (actually whole album) into their iTunes.

You should, I could see someone on FOX running with this!

Song has been out for awhile, video out today, we'll see. Maybe too much going on now, might be a big nothing.

Shooting at YouTube in California wounds at least 3, female suspect dead
"We did locate a victim with what we believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It’s a female,” San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said at a news conference, describing the person police believe was the shooter. One of the victims, a 36-year-old man, was listed in critical condition at San Francisco General Hospital. A 32-year-old woman was listed in serious condition and a 27-year-old woman in fair condition. Authorities did not release names of any of the victims."

Oh, I guess this was already in the news when the song came out in December:

Eminem Calls Donald Trump ‘Aryan,’ Fantasizes About Ivanka in Trunk of His Car

We missed it when it happened.

Something to bring us all together... against the Government.

... “So we’ll mandate our over 200 stations to promote a narrative that supports ours, Like suggesting that our competitors are all “fake news” and not to be heeded. Trust us, though we have a long history of reporting on only our own agenda.”

“BTW, wearing green is A-OK. We don’t give a rats ass about the green screen, just don’t wear anything red blue or purple - dresses, tops or even ties - as those can be interpreted by someone as “political colors.” And we want to make it look like we’re not blatantly biased towards a political agenda. Even though we are.”

“PS -if you don’t like these terms and want to quit, the fine for getting out of your contract is based on up to 40% of your annual pay and we’ll sue you if you take another job in this business in a competing market. Have a nice day!”

No biased message being sent here, just another coincidence

Seriously, why wouldn't Sinclair broadcasting want to distance themselves from this garbage fire.

I never said Sinclair broadcasting isn't biased. I just asked you for one factual error in the statement. You keep repeating the same answer, ignoring the question.

I also don't understand why you find it creepy as fuck that professional journalist working for a national media company have coordinated wardrobes.

“PS -if you don’t like these terms and want to quit, the fine for getting out of your contract is based on up to 40% of your annual pay and we’ll sue you if you take another job in this business in a competing market. Have a nice day!”

Also employment, non-compete agreements as you just described are illegal. You can't bar someone from the market place for quiting or being fired.

John Kasich, in New Hampshire, hints at Trump 2020 challenge: 'All my options are on the table'

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ptions-are-on-the-table/ar-AAvqhaP?li=BBnb7Kz

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/e.../general_election_kasich_vs_clinton-5162.html

Kasich got next? He's a little ho-hum in the personality department and American's love their personality but maybe that's what we need. Just somebody who goes to work and handles stuff. I think the other 2 guys will make a run again, Rubio and Cruz? Anybody new?

Dems need to find somebody. I think a moderate will work like the one in Pennsylvania that beat that Republican dude in an area Trump won by 20%.

We're about 2 1/2 years away from the next election. So maybe end of this year, next year it'll start to be more clear.

I think Kasich is less conservative than Trump. Would probably loose a primary badly. If he ran as a spoiler on a third ticket, he could would have to raise money from democrats.

I think Kasich is less conservative than Trump. Would probably loose a primary very badly. He could run as a spoiler on a third ticket but will have to raise money from democrats.

Yep, his views on guns are not NRA friendly. So I think he could attract the never-Trumpers and some moderates, even some on the left. Not sure his views on spending, Trump isn't exactly Conservative in that department.

Some views
http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm

You know, he might be a decent person, which I like but his views. Against medical marijuana, thinks Bible stories are historical facts, that kind of things I just can't get behind.

So I'm leaning moderate Democrat. Not sure where the party is with Sanders type of Socialism. He's trying to drag it there. He should run Independent/Socialist build for future, more party choice.

A guess a little early for that but should start heating up, like I said, later this year, early next. Dems better start getting some people together who could win.

Do your own research - i have better things to do than track down the agreement or the past issues with them spewing biased reporting, or the UHF discount, the FCC, and media market monopolies.

I’ll be nice - here’s a start on the employment agreement details. Non competes are legal and enforceable if you sign something agreeing to them.

Propaganda, btw, is insiduous in that that is often more insinuation and half truths than flat out lies.

I never said “as f*ck” - I said “AF.” You filled in your own words and created a perfect example of how that works.

 

[enlytend]

Kasich is OK - I don’t see eye to eye with him on many issues, but overall could see him getting in there and getting things done without needless drama.. He’s workable.

Sanders is way too extreme. Dems would be idiots to go with him. Brown is interesting, but needs to pump up visibility and a solid brand to get attention and votes.

 

[JB Lions]

We'll see if this is true:

"ABC7 News: Nasim Aghdam has an alleged website with a manifesto that targets YouTube for censorship and demonetization of her video content"

But I was actually thinking it would be somebody like that. Some people today want to do YouTube for a living and some are and some were probably on their way up, then their content gets demonetized. If you were living on this income and then got zapped, and didn't save up, it might stress some out. Years ago, I could have lived just off my income from ebay, then they made change and boom, just killed my ebay income, big drop. Luckily, that wasn't my only stream. Also, years ago, I posted about a dog and 3 legs, it actually made it into some affiliate marketing book. This person borrowed a lot from what people said on forums and didn't give credit, made a lot of people mad, but I didn't care. Basically I remember early affiliates just living on the free traffic from Google. Knew this one lady that was making 10k a month from free Google traffic. Started spending it, building a new house etc. Then overnight she got zapped with 1 Google update, wrecked her. She used to say Google was her base. It's not really any kind of base/foundation, I said it was more of a leg. Think of a dog that loses one of it's legs. It can still manage to get around on 3 legs. If you were a one legged whatever and lost that 1 leg, it's over for you. Making money online, develop many legs. If you have a site, it could be free organic traffic, PPC, traffic from social media, that alone many options. Press releases used to work for me back in the day. etc. Then you can get into offline marketing, many options there.

So we'll see if this is the actual case with this person but I know a lot of YouTubers were getting hit.

 

[johname]

Well during the day they were describing it as girlfriend shooting boyfriend.

Turns out there more to it than that

My very first thought was someone getting banned on youtube, got pissed. Then Later thinking disgruntled employee

http://www.tmz.com/2018/04/03/youtube-shooter-nasim-aghdam-censor-discriminated/


She felt YouTube promoted Stupidity

One of her complaints was that her revenue on 300,000 Youtube views was Ten Cents.

 

[enlytend]

Basically I remember early affiliates just living on the free traffic from Google.

Ah, the good old days! I made a chunk of change with EMDs + free traffic, before they closed that loophole.

Yeah I was thinking someone who lost ad income or was banned. I know they’ve messed around a lot lately and some people have had an income drop there.

Sobering description of the deep state and how it works.
