Lil' Red Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I found this interesting, and by interesting, I mean utterly depressing: http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/coca-cola-ran-a-super-bowl-commercial-about-diversity-and-inclusion-and-people-are-mad/ar-AAmDYwZ?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=spartandhp This link, seriously demonstrates that we have way too many racists in this country. A "#boycott Coke" emerged on Twitter because Coca~Cola ran a Super Bowl ad where: 1) languages other than English were used, and 2) non-white faces were featured. To be fair, most of the tweets I see our mocking/criticizing the hashtag. Link to comment

To be fair, most of the tweets I see our mocking/criticizing the hashtag. The fact that there even NEEDS to be tweets mocking the #boycottCoke hashtag is ridiculous in and of itself. If it was discovered that Coke was once again putting cocaine in their soda, or that the CEO of the company pulled a "Jerry Sandusky", then yeah boycott the company would be in order and justified. But there are Trump supporters out there calling for a boycott of Coke because non-white faces and a language other than English was used? Ridiculous. Link to comment
Whistlebritches Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 BS.... What everyone else calls "lied"... http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8674035/kellyanne-conway-bowling-green-massacre-repeat/ But in an interview with Cosmopolitan.com conducted by phone days earlier, on Sunday, January 29, Conway used the same phrasing, claiming that President Obama called for a temporary "ban on Iraqi refugees” after the “Bowling Green massacre.” (The quotes did not appear in either of two stories recently published on Cosmopolitan.com.) "He did, it’s a fact," she said of Obama. "Why did he do that? He did that for exactly the same reasons. He did that because two Iraqi nationals came to this country, joined ISIS, traveled back to the Middle East to get trained and refine their terrorism skills and come back here and were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre of taking innocent soldiers' lives away."

AR Husker Fan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Note that while everyone else in the room is laughing or smiling, thinking it's a joke, Herr Trump is not. He's serious. 1 Link to comment

There's less war and we live longer. I disagree. The world became a much more dangerous place after January 20th. 5 Link to comment
Fru Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Note that while everyone else in the room is laughing or smiling, thinking it's a joke, Herr Trump is not. He's serious. A microcosm of his rise. Everyone laughs and doesn't take him seriously. Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well this is interesting. A bipartisan effort to cut off the so-called president if he attempts to weaken Russian sanctions. Trump's puppet master, Putin, will not be happy. 1 Link to comment
