I read where the US Generals gave the Taliban a list of names of people they wanted to evacuate so they would let them through to the airport. The Taliban is now going house to house and executing those people that are still there. Most of them are people who helped the US out and that is why they are executing them. I don't know if this is true because it seems like the press wants us to move on from this fiasco. I don't think it is a good idea to continue to impeach each President because the other side doesn't like them. That is not healthy for the country as a whole. Besides, I think Harris would actually be worse than Biden. But I also don't think Biden is all there. Did you see the picture of his meeting with the Prime Minister from Israel? I also noticed that he only holds press conferences during the day instead of evening like all the other Presidents have done. I'm telling you, there is something wrong with him. I will be shocked if he makes it the full 4 years. Who knows if Em will mention this in any of his songs on the album that he for sure is working on and will be releasing any day now...right? Probably because he usually does mention current events in some form. š, I did see the photo of Biden and the Israeli Prime Minister! And that made me so giddy for a moment! Whatās that called? Confirmation bias? Somethingā¦ But, anyway, I went and found a clip of the entire moment, and Biden responded in good time. Just like all the times I heard Trumpās a racist, Trumpās a White Power Protagonistā¦ blah, blah,blahā¦ seriously, I wanted to hate the embarrassing orange man, but whenever folks āgave me evidenceā, I could never find the proof to back it up. And the whole āgrab āem by the ākitty-catā thingā, how are we as Eminem fans offended by THAT? Seriously? Have we not heard Superman, are we all willing to forget that there are shady females in the world who will do whatever it takes to get their bills paid for by rich, powerful men? Wtf? And Harris! Ugh! I remember almost voting for her years ago when she was going for something in Californiaā¦ she had really great, convincing commercials! But then I took a half hour to look at her record, she didnāt jive with my outlooks at the time, and I once again voted a third partyā¦ and now sheās about to be our first woman President?! Why? And I hope Eminem does reference this fiasco in a future song, but heāll probably just blame it all on Trump, thatās what the masses want to hear, and thatās whatās most disappointing. And why is Biden always saying āIthey tell me Iām only allowed to take questions fromā¦ā, youāre the most powerful man int he world! Who is they? I feel bad for Biden, heās obviously not cognizant enough for the position he was āelectedā to. I didn't watch the clip, just saw the pic. But I am with you, I don't really believe what much of what the media says anymore. Trump seems to have broken them. As much as an ass as Trump was, the media was just as bad if not worse. I expected it out of Trump because he has such an ego and loves to be the showman. However, I expected better out of the media. They just totally stopped pretending to be unbiased. Refusing to report on Hunter Biden's laptop and all the fucked up things on it was the nail in the coffin for me. If that had been one of Trump's kids, we would still be hearing about it. But they seem to help some politicians hide their misdeeds, and therefore should no longer be trusted. The latest example is Joe Rogan getting COVID and he took "horse medicine" for it. That is a totally false representation of Ivermicin. I listen to Rogan on occasion and they are also misrepresenting what he has said about COVID and the vaccine. But if you stray away from the narrative even a smig and express a thought of your own...YOU. ARE. THE. ENEMY!!!!! I am middle of the road with my politics, which I guess makes me a far right winged kook in today's environment. But yeah, I think there is something wrong with Biden. He reminds me of my grandpa when he first was diagnosed with dementia. Mixing up facts, forgetting basic stuff, jumbling his words and you couldn't understand what he was saying. Like I said before, I'm not sure he will make it the 4 years and I am not looking forward to Harris. I can't believe that Trump and Biden were the best this country had to offer and what we had to choose from. Where are all the decent people and why won't they run?

You have to pay $3K to not be a US citizen? Can you just have 2 citizenship? My friend and I were joking the other day that if Em wanted to be controversial again he should come out as a Republican. lol We then decided that if he did that, he would probably lose a lot of fans. I find fewer and fewer Bible thumping Republicans and more freedom of speech and individual liberty Republicans. It seems as the Dems move further left, more libertarians move to Republicans, which, ironically, is also moving Republicans left. I didn't vote for President this last election. I was tired of Trump and all the drama surrounding him and Joe Biden is senile and more corrupt than the Clinton's. Too bad Obama can't run again.

Hmmm, is this Tim Poole guy the new Eminem? I don't get what you are saying.Ā How is Tim Poole the new Eminem?Ā I don't see any similarities.Ā Apologies, I was just trying to āpoke the bearā, basically. I wanted to see if anyone felt like starting a discussionā¦ are we in a modern civil war? and whoās actually benefiting from all this angst? The snippet of this Poole guyās views, just gave me a certain clarity about how society functions right now. Like how Eminem did with āhi, my name isāā¦ but Iām pretty sure all active folks on this board have blocked meā¦ Weāre all so focused on aligning ourselves on āthe correctā way to express ourselvesā¦ and Slim Shady has always meant, to me personally, express yourself however the duck you want to. Eminem planted the seed, in my own consciousness, not to give a fuckā¦ just say your truthā¦ and itās taken me about two decades to not really care how acceptable my views are to whoever dominates āmodern societyāsā views. And I was forgiven by this boardās superior members, and this whole political thread got startedā¦ ugh, I love it! Thanks for always responding Tcat. I wish I had lived in a rich enough neighborhood to have a debate team! Iād probably be able to express myself so much better! And when I heard this snippet, it just gave me āpoke the bear vibesā, and I was hoping to spark conversationsā¦ also, apologies for the long response time. I had to re-listen to Andy Serkis reading The Hobbit. Serkisās readingās of the The Lord of the Rings just came out yesterday, and Iāve been focused on that. I wish the voices in my head had the variety of Mr. Serkis!

What the fuck is going on in Australia?!
Do we have any Aussies on this board?
I check right wing media, and this bullshit is happening because Australia gave up their guns after that public massacre.
I check left wing mediaā¦ and nothing is being said. I can only assume thatās because of lots of political Covid reasons.
āBy any means necessaryā! Have yāall not read 1984?!

Soooo, anybody regretting their last ballot?
Everything is fine! Right?
How we all feeling about mandated actions in the āland of the freeā. How many healthcare workers have been cast out of the āover-burdenedā system? That makes total sense!
Does it? Really?
How? No, Iām really curious. How is any of this okay?

I really hope Eminem makes some more political references in whatever his next release is.
Like, the hypocrisy has been evident for a whileā¦ unless heās on the side of the folks trying to exert control on the worldās populationā¦ which could beā¦ hmmm š¤
Letās go Brandon! right?!
Oh, no! I didnāt mean ārightā as in the Nazi trash fighting against all that is mandated in the states at the moment. Land of the free, as long as you so what the government saysā¦ it supposed to be the other way around. We should be telling the government what we want them to doā¦ as in making options available, and letting the people decide what is best for themselves.
Seriously, thereās no American Eminem fans willing to discuss whatās going on in America at the moment? Matty created this thread for us to hash it outā¦. But there is no longer room for dissenting opinions, thereās OBVIOUSLY only one way to correct-think.
When Kamala becomes President, whoās going to be proud of that? Our first female President, with absolutely no foreign policy skillsā¦ Iām embarrassed, and fearful of what sheās going to do. What has the border czar done for the border crisis?
Fuck! Yāall make me a sad hurt puppy. (Statement does not include the reticent Admin, me, tcat, nor riversong)

I'm very passionate and I don't resonate with conservative values. At all. I gave them a chance for the better part of my life because my parents are conservative. So what's the point? Plus, I get sick of being called a libtard. Sometimes a person is shit on enough they work to stop being abused.

But youāre still okay with Biden stumbling over all his words, and no real answers given about current policy? Have you seen anyone in your personal life deteriorating with old age? And you still see no similarities? Iām not saying this with condescending vibes, I am genuinely curious. I donāt think conservatives or liberals have the American citizens best interests at heart. But its all just become this, āyou gotta choose a side!ā thing that isnāt helping anyone. I left the states and now live in the, I guess, socialist democracy of Germany. Still taking classes to understand political life in my new country. Iām just glad I give the government about the same amount of taxes (when I add in the ridiculous amount I paid for healthcare), but now I live somewhere that my existence is actually cared for. Clean environment, nice roads, walking and biking paths, endless government subsidized educational opportunities, no fucking copaysā¦ and Vice President Harris?! Youāre seriously not concerned at all? Why not? What has she done that gives you any confidence in her leading the country?

Thanks, Sparrow, for your previous response. And sorry to all the folks I said, Fuck yāall to, before. Iāve responded too emotionally (lots of times)ā¦ So, hereās myself trying againā¦
Sparrow, Iām glad you found help from the government, and it helped you to be alive today, to discuss things with me. Would you like to share what happened to you? I would like to empathize with your personal situation. But, this is a public forum, I wonāt fault you for not wanting to share specifics.
Hereās how the US government helped me: I got unexpectedly pregnant 15 years ago, and the only reason Iām not still paying off the medical bills, is because of Medi-Cal. The only way I could afford good, healthy, fresh food is because of that WIC shit, you know, what Eminem dreaded having to explain it to his kids (sidenote: that is a lyric thatās really stuck with me, has anyone reading this felt the shame of having to use government assistance coupons to buy necessities. The cashiers have to call managers to process your coupons, everyone in line behind you is shooting daggers with their eyes, because itās going to take another whole five minutes for them to pay for their groceries? I believe folks nowadays get debit cards and can just pay for stuff like normal folks, but it wasnāt always like that)
You said youāre āliberal-progressive AOC lovingā, cool, cool! For real cool. Itās good to have people to idolize (obviously, weāre all on an Eminem message board). But, do you realize how much money she makes from her congressional job? She hires personal security, while calling out for the police to be defunded. She lied about/ exaggerated what she went through on January 6th. Sheās using the current political system purely for her own gains, like the majority of politicians elected to office at this moment. Sheās not on our side.
Your side, my side, our side. This is the basis of what Iām trying to convey.
āYou know the old expression, time is money. As one computer said, if youāre on the train, and they say portal bridge, you know you better make other plansā
Biden doesnāt seem confused? He seems totally rational? You truly believe that?
Do folks here really believe Kamala Harris is a good person to run, what used to be, the most powerful country on earth?
Any of you from California? You donāt remember what Kamalaās most notable contributions were, (hint: it wasnāt anything good for the poor and impoverished),?
And now letās see if one can publish two YouTube videos in one comment:
Marshall Mathers, Eminem, Slim Shadyā¦ everything he has taught me, boils down to āsay your truthāā¦ he gets to spew stuff, and we all decipher it to no end.
But I come to you, with dissenting viewpoints, and Iām no longer worth engaging with?ā¦ is this really the core of the Eminem fandom?

Except, Biden wasnāt stuttering in the clip I offered. Or are you trying to argue that heās overcome his stutter, and his thoughts were flowing too quickly for us to understand? Maybeā¦ but can you decipher what he was actually trying to say? Please explain it to me, if thatās the case. And none of the āargumentsā Iāve presented are meant to imply that heās a woefully degenerate human being, the video of him with Braydon was heartwarming! And when I use the term āargumentā, I only mean to imply that Iām looking for discussionā¦ not like argue, as in a fightā¦ I just want to discuss stuff. Iām a very lonely person. But Iām also not willing to ājust acceptā whatever the most popular opinion is at the momentā¦ doing that, it stifles all progress. How can we, as humans, do betterā¦ make existence better, if weāre unwilling to acknowledge dissenting opinions?
