Nice shitposting, but sadly we don't allow it in upper fora. Locked.

trump supporters: how do you feel about trump's encouragement to russia to release stolen/hacked documents?  does it trouble you at all?

I don't condone hacking, but if Russia already has Hillary's emails (and I'm like 99% sure they do, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if every country other than the US had them), then it would only be in US intelligence's best interest to have them as well. Why would the US want Russia to know what's in those documents without knowing themselves?
If Russia has them and the US does not, the US has a shitty intelligence agency.  Just saying.

This was already evident from Comey's conclusion.

I think you have your timeline mixed up, the DNC hack happened well before Trump's comments on Hillary's deleted emails.

the hillary image isn't anti-semetic because what if under different circumstances i made a bad argument suggesting that the cover of frozen is anti-semetic?  what?

so this image can't be anti-semetic because you believe i would make different arguments about different things under different circumstances...i dunno how to respond to that...

I'm not saying it can't be anti-semitic, I'm saying it's pure conjecture on your part to think it is. And a little bit paranoid.

Great new tactic, guys.  "No, you're the real racist!"  As if the stereotype of Jews being greedy and obsessed with money is some kind of obscure notion that requires all sorts of stretching and racist assumptions to arrive at.

The Hillary picture doesn't depict either of those things

that two symbols can have identical shapes and different meanings is such a ubiquitous phenomenon that it has its own name.  pretending to be unaware of this doesn't make one's argument better, only worse and more confusing.

This is only relevant if the shapes do have different meanings, which is clearly not what Rushy is arguing. Bad bait.

if /pol/ ever becomes an advertising agency, then i'll concede the point.  until then, you're comparing apples and white nationalist oranges.  there are no centuries-old stereotypes/conspiracies of jewish people hoarding ice princesses and exerting unseen control over winter castles, so i just don't see what frozen has to do with anything.  literally no one is saying that it's anti-semetic just because the star is six-sided.  it seems like you want to have a discussion with an entirely different group of people saying entirely different things.

It's pretty funny how deeply you can get leftists to think about anti-semitic stereotypes in order to craft a conspiracy theory like this. The point here is that if Disney were implicated in anti-semitic activity, I'm sure you could craft a similar narrative for Frozen as well. And if you can't - well, maybe you're not using your imagination well enough. But up until that happens, there's plenty reason to believe that you're only willing to apply a ridiculous amount of conjecture to one thing but not the other.

I'm not excusing anyone's corruption; I'm just disappointed by such selective enforcement of the law for the sake of a partisan agenda.  I'd be delighted if this was the beginning of a new era of zero tolerance and cracking down on all misbehavior from politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike, but it's not, and that overshadows the whole thing for me.

Who are these politicians that are currently getting overlooked by law enforcement?

lol so just to be clear, you're comparing the cover of disney's frozen to /pol/ memes...

adorable

It's the same shape, no?

This thread doesn't really seem to be about the first look of Ben Affleck's Batman anymore, so I've renamed it to be about all things capeshit instead. It looks like that's what this thread was already being used for anyway.

dudes it's obviously just a sheriff's badge.  he was only trying to imply visually that clinton is corrupt, like a sheriff.

that's why it was changed less than 2 hours after it was posted; he realized how offensive that imagery is to sheriffs.

This isn't disingenuous at all

This "fucking Jew bastard" thing is a he-said-she-said story coming from a pretty fringey source.  Even if it is true, it was forty years ago.  I don't think there's any comparison between that and Trump's repeated "accidental" postings of racist memes.

You're right, Hillary has gotten pretty good at hiding her antisemitism in the past 40 years.

Did I say he didn't do anything wrong? Surely, if anything, changing the tweet means it was an honest mistake and he's not actually antisemitic.

Why "surely"?

Why else would he change the tweet?

Well I suppose the "honest mistake" could be that he was mistaken about how pissed off he would be at a tweet that tries to put Hilary in league with money-grubbing Jews.  Or is it money-grubbing sheriffs?  Oh, yeah, Hilary and Sheriff's offices have a long standing alliance built on corruption  ::)

Or, you know, maybe it's just a star.

What does it being a default have to do with the context and message he coupled it with?  Maybe he isn't an anti-semite, maybe he is just retarded.  But if he didn't do anything wrong, why did he change it?  After all, Trump stands up for what he believes in mirite?

Is anyone claiming this?

Well, if you're voting based on antisemitism, it seems strange to support the candidate with a history of making antisemitic slurs.

He tweeted a picture that used a default MS Paint shape, so he's obviously an antisemite, duh

Hillary "fucking Jew bastard" Clinton is perfectly clean, though :^)
