Everyone should watch the video. People are laughing at the influencers getting scammed, but it goes well beyond that. And I'd still rather influencers get the money than PayPal, anyway. But, yeah, they're lying to the customers, costing them money, colluding with businesses...and still costing the businesses money too in some cases.
It's really fucking shady, and totally deserves to be called out, even if it hurts influencers which some people think is funny. This being exposed is a good thing.
That community note is so misleading:
She has not been "missing" since July.
Granger made a public appearance at her portrait unveiling last month (Nov 19 2024).
That's not exactly an official duty. Her last vote was in July.
She announced her retirement in 2023, and did not run for re-election in 2024. Craig Goldman won her seat.
This is the sketchiest part, though. What a bunch of bullshit technicalities. Also, some wrong "technicalities." She didn't "retire." Granger is still serving, on paper. Goldman will - emphasis on will, future tense - be taking the seat...in January. Granger is still a representative for Texas's 12th district.
Libs of TikTok is correct, and the community note is lame excuses. The only thing you could quibble over is "missing," which was put in quotes anyway and probably somewhat humorous. Regardless, the point being made is completely correct, and I don't care about any of the technicalities.
Gay community note, in this case.
Yeah, it's really, really fucking stupid. The filters Dom set up are nuking a lot of stuff that shouldn't be, he's not around to fix it, and he doesn't care...and it still doesn't stop the actual bad actors.
“Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever. If you claim you can't get a job because you're straight and white, I'm sorry -- you can't get a job because you're s***e.
Well, let's say for the sake of argument that's true. Anyone who says 'hiring shouldn't be based on skill, and should instead be based on my skin color," is definitely is lacking in the skill department. And needs to stop ruining society, posthaste.
It's amazing how these people are so indoctrinated, and so attached to being the Good Guys, they can't even think through basic logic. Why is it more "fair" to base things off skin color? Why is hiring based on skill discriminatory toward the privileged minority? Why do some African countries still discriminate against whites, even when whites are the minority? I wish you could have an honest conversation with SJWs, and get them to think about things.
A few people have done similar things.

...the boy...
Is this her son, or just some random boy? I'm guessing it's some privacy law protecting minors, but this whole framing is absurd and confusing. Did she abduct some random kid she knew from the neighborhood, or was it her own child? I'm guessing the latter, but it's just that, a guess.
McGovern went on to claim that the boy was missing, prompting a large-scale hunt for him involving 80 police officers, the force helicopter, and mountain rescue and coastguard personnel.
Putting aside the monstrous actions themselves, you'd think they would have at least nailed her for wasting police resources. They take that shit much more seriously than little things like attempted murder and child abuse.
First offender McGovern was assessed as being at a low risk of reoffending and someone who did not present a risk to the public.
Someone at low risk of reoffending wouldn't have offended in such a heinous and obviously unstable manner in the first place, numskulls.
...the child but he was only found 24 hours later when a man out walking his dog heard the youngster crying.
Major props to this dude. It was just right time, right place, but he's a hero.
Now... the excuses...
Lord Young said that she had suffered from clinical depression and anxiety linked to low self-esteem for many years but had made "great strides" towards getting her life together.
A bunch of people do, nowadays. They don't go out and try to murder children.
He said that she had weaned herself off illicit drugs, which was greatly to her credit, and her mental health had improved significantly.
Don't care; she was either giving the kid drugs directly, inadvertently exposing him, or giving him access. There's a limit to tolerance for this sort of thing, and she's well past it.
A hair sample revealed that the youngster was exposed to drugs from late June 2022. Mr Cameron said: "It is not possible to say with any greater precision when that exposure was nor in what quantity. The findings were, however, consistent with exposure on more than one occasion."
Yeah. Nope. Go directly to jail. At least.
Defence counsel John Scullion KC said: "The accused recalls feeling a sense of panic and describes feeling that something flipped in her mind that day."
That's the defense. These people have no shame.
He said that McGovern was "a vulnerable individual" who was introduced to cocaine...
The defence counsel said: "I think it is plain that she bitterly regrets her lifestyle when using cocaine and the impact of the drug on her personality, culminating in these offences."
Again, no excuse. Some murderers regret their actions...and she almost managed to promote herself to murderer anyway. Would it still be fine, if she'd succeeded it getting rid of the kid, but still regretted it?
He said that she had taken steps to deal with the drug problem that had blighted her life for several years and added: "She has had mental health issues throughout her adult life, issues with anxiety and depression."
Boo-hoo.
Mr Scullion said: "The author of the report confirms she displays shame and remorse for the pain and suffering she has caused, which, in my submission, is both *genuine and profound."
Whatever.
You actually can't swing open the door and pepper spray someone who has not shown any hostile intent.
One caveat I would offer is, we don't know if that is what happened. It's pretty suspicious that we've only seen parts of her video. At least that's my understanding, although I haven't followed it closely.
But it's very possible there was more going on that we didn't see. Although, flipside, similarly to not seeing her full video...we know Nick has a camera outside his door, so if there was a preceding aspect to the altercation, it's odd we haven't seen his side of things. Again, to my knowledge, and someone correct me if I'm wrong.
this seems like a typical out of context gotcha.
The reaction clip, or the question? Because for me it doesn't really matter the question, the reaction itself is being bitchy to a little girl. That's extremely embarrassing, at the very least.
Name good jewish billionaires fighting against what the genocidal jewish billionaires are doing.
There might be some; nothing springs to mind, but I also don't keep close track on all that. It definitely seems stilted toward the 'pro-genocide' side, though, I'll give you that. And those fuckers are evil, no question.
If you can't do that, name any good jewish people fighting against what the genocidal jewish people are doing.
This one is nowhere near as cut and dry, though. There are definitely some Jews who are totally on-point on this. Plenty of Jews are anti-Zionist, and not all of them are even of the raging lunatic leftist variety. There are libertarian Jews, who are pro-freedom, pro-America, and staunchly anti-war, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and anti-genocide. I have some names in mind, but I don't really want to bring specific individuals into this; but there are absolutely Jews who get this at least 80% correct. And who are pushing the message and doing really good work.
There are Jews who (ridiculously) get labeled as antisemites and Nazis, for speaking out against the atrocities of The Jewish State of Israel™.
I think part of the issue on this is merely perception. Leftist Jews are largely assholes...but so are non-Jewish leftists. Rightwing Jews are often, well, traitors to the American right, frankly, because they're Israel first Zionists in it for their own ends. Not always, but there are a ton of them. But, again, a bunch of non-Jews are also neocon Zionist assholes. The uniparty is the uniparty, and there are Jews on both sides, being assholes. But there are also non-Jews on both sides, being assholes. Kind of how the whole thing works.
I have plenty of concerns, but to act like no Jews are legitimately anti-Zionist simply isn't true.
Let me get this right...to protect Jews, the government just made it illegal to claim the government is controlled by Jews.
Also, denying or questioning the exact telling of history. Current history. Since it's changed a few times already.
Or of accusing Jews of being more loyal to Israel than "their own countries." I mean...what if they say openly that that's the case, and they're more loyal to Israel than where they are living? Is that still illegal? Can I not accuse Ben Shapiro, for example, of being more loyal to Israel than the US? He's said as much.
Also, since when does "the right to self-determination" come with a guarantee of an ethno-state...and how do I get in on that grift? Would certainly make things simple, if ethnostates were a yuman right.
And, uh...Jews did kill Jesus.
It's all so tiresome. But tell me again about the wonders of Judeo-Christian values. Also, the absolute arrogance (and, admittedly, massive power move, so props; impressive, if nothing else) that they managed to make it so other religions also have to acknowledge them as the Chosen Ones. I don't care if your own religion says you're chosen by God. That's pretty standard fare. But I don't have to believe it, and it's not hateful of me to refuse to state that you're better and more holy than I, because of your race. Absolutely ridiculous.
Strange. I'm no expert - haven't even signed in to Twitter/X for years - but in linked tweets I often see leftoids whining about the racist and far right "anime avatar" people, and using the fact someone has an anime icon to discredit them.
What's unfortunate is most of the anti-anime thing right now started on our side because Trannies loved using anime avatars (like all weebs do at one point), and so it just became "every negative thing about gays and trannies also applies to anime."
I don't agree. The whole "anime avatar" crowd are largely grouped as rightwing, and it's actually used as a slur by the retard left.
Yeah, autists (and thus trannies) enjoy anime too, but the "anime profile" people are largely right, and often even the actual "far right."
The issue, for me, isn't even the casting (although that's an issue)...it's that it Current Year. Even if it's race swapping, I've enjoyed some myth/fantasy/epic/whatever inspired movies, despite that.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword had a black Bedivere and was still, to me, a very enjoyable movie. Prince of Persia has an Mbaka character, and he's great. Also...it has Gemma Arterton, so there's that.
Point is, even if it's not accurate, I can still enjoy a movie unless it's shoving propaganda in your face. Most of these actors are woke, so that they'd all attach themselves to the same project in current year is the real warning sign.
I miss the days when they could have black characters and not have it be about shitting on white people. I have nothing wrong with black characters, and I don't even mind the occasional race swap. My issue is that it's obviously political, and always only goes one way. I don't mind a creative liberty once in a while...the issue is the current batch of creative liberties...aren't creative. In the slightest. They don't add, they detract. And they can get fucked.
That said, I'll still wait and see. I won't give them money, but I'm not ready to write this off as complete trash before I've heard more. Nolan, while overrated in my opinion, still does good work. There's still the chance this is good.
Also, what the heck is a Lupita Nyong’o?
