The former president (who’s also running in this election) is sitting down with Adin Ross, Joe Humping Stools Rogan, & the Nelk Boys

I mean, people want idiocracy….and then don’t. I do agree that Shay sharpe in a NORMAL time would be unserious.

But you cannot look at the landscape today, and this be your line of thinking . Cmon man

… she’s posting that on TWITTER/X of all places. The irony dawg

 

[finessence]

When they are on these platforms, that’s exactly what happens.

These independent platforms are far from independent as well. Especially the ones tied to the “Roganverse”. Hence your softball “interviews/slobber fest” from the likes of:

Joe Rogan
Andrew Shultz
Theo Von
Lex Friendman
Nelk Boyz
Adin Ross

****, this is the guy who’s famous for going on (and legitimating) Alex Jones.

Kamala has been on the breakfast club, did one with Uncle Luke back in 2019 (somehow, this had been memory holed )



Roland Martin, All the smoke, and a bunch of other ones. This really isn’t THAT new….regarding her. And the questions and formats are vastly different from what Trump has been on.

I say that to say that the “independent media” is even softer and more sanitized than interviews on traditional media. Upside down world.

They just get to cuss and be casual . That’s it.

Lastly, Joe Rogan is not an honest actor at all. He’s a propagandist for the same people that work for Trump. JD Vance will be on his show next.

I have ZERO faith that Joe Rogan would interview Kamala in good faith, or even with the same soft tone that he did in the Trump interview. He’s shown his hand/*** waaaay to many times.

Uncle Luke ran for Miami Dade mayor in 2011. He’s HEAVILY into politics. One thing about Bahamians, they’re always in the political mix

 

[finessence]

Again, we live in a time where a lot of people want “traditional/old values” …. But the world has evolved at such a rapid pace that a lot of those people are just out of touch.

Can’t have it both ways. We’ve already reached the point of no return

Yeah. I’m not surprised. It’s just that people intentionally and conveniently forget that Kamala has done **** like this before. Years before in fact.

I saw Trump was sitting down in a barbershop recently, and people were saying Kamala was going to copy Trump, by doing that.

It’s just the insane double standards we’re seeing play out. Like, this is the culmination of white man privelege vs a successful black woman. And no matter what you think of Kamala (like her or not…it’s obvious).

Remember growing up, when our parents will tell us we need to be TWICE as good as our white counterparts and twice as clean etc…just to “make it”.

This damn near the crystallization of that, in a sense. Because it’s not comparable at all…but America as a whole has twisted themselves in nots to compare the incomparable.

It’s interesting to watch.

 

[finessence]

You know it’s ridiculous when you’ve got some broke or even uneducated Black folks rooting for Trump.

My broke 24 year old cousin who doesn’t even know how to properly do laundry, has a recent car repossession… jobless and was held back in grade school… rooting for dude.

This kid didn’t even know what a 401k was and I had to explain it to him, smh

Also, Kamala already went to a black Barbershop back in 2020, (and probably before that too). But yep, we have to be 10x better than they are just to even get a look or be considered the same. It's ridiculous.

I remember in the heyday of Monster.com there was a study done showing how racist hiring managers could be based solely off a "black" sounding name. And then in research over the years it's been shown how a black man with a college degree gets consideration for employment on the level of a white man with a criminal record and no degree.

It's insane. Was just talking about what happens if this lunatic nazi trump wins next week. It's gonna be a madhouse. **** will hit the fan. She is far and away the better candidate. That's not even in question for anybody actually paying attention and being fair minded.

Can’t forget loans or credit cards. A white man with a bad credit history/high school diploma or average job will get a business loan over a black man with a college degree and better credit

You could always tell that Keef was different than most them cats.

Bibby, Herb, Keef and LA Capone always seemed like they had real intelligence

Could easily have been the worst one but dug deep and took another route. Takes strength, people let childhood stuff control them for too long.

Also, traditional outlets have become increasingly unserious and are looking for viral moments or gotcha questions like everyone else. There’s not a lot of room anymore for intelligent discussion.

With that being said, you could have a 1st grader interviewing Harris and Trump and it would be readily apparent who is the more qualified candidate So, I don’t think there’s anything she could do or could’ve done that would convince some of these people.

And don’t go to bed without drying off your hair if wet. You gone get sick.

Cut off the TV, lights and no taking a shower when it’s thundering and lightning

She preaching

Thanks for putting this out there. I've seen /read the same topics she touched on on twitter /x and it gets extremely ugly in there. Beautiful sister btw.

Michael Irvin grew up in my neighborhood. My mom and dad went to school with him. His folks had like 15 kids. His family definitely had it rough and he wanted better for himself. My mom and dad said some of his siblings literally smelled like piss, and had lacking hygiene.

To see yours kid go in reverse is CRAZY. Mike grew up in one of the toughest projects in Fort Lauderdale. It’s one way in, one way out. Shootouts and murders quite frequently.

His kid is DUMB. Ain’t nothing wrong with being raised with a silver spoon. That’s what made rappers like early Kanye and Lupe so beloved.

His son proudly wants to be dusty. Even his jewelry looks like it ain’t been polished. Joints look 10 carats

We glamourize that foolishness man. To think you need/want to be associated with that life when you aren't even FROM there is just "mind bottling."

Nah. That’s a mental problem. Wanting to revert BACK to struggling or being obsessed with the hood/ghetto is a personal problem. If a person wants to live in decrepit conditions after having been affluent that’s on them. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating where your parents came from or how they started. Your motivation should be to NEVER go back to that type of struggle

I wish people would stop pushing this narrative that everyone from the hood is tough/thorough. Some of the softest dudes come from the hood. And every dude from the suburbs isn’t “soft”. It’s just a ridiculous mentality

Look how Mike Tyson and Lil Wayne evolved after they made money and got some knowledge of self. There past and present are night and day (minus the drugs). Wayne is literally a geek/skateboarder/BMXer/book worm. Mike Tyson is an entrepreneur
