Politicians like to brag about these numbers to make it look like they're doing something right, but they don't always mean what people would think they would. 17 minutes ago, Litti said: By the way that "Orange cl*wn" is the President.

That is what I am referring too.... So we can discuss what he tweeted, but not WHY he would tweet it, what he hoped to achieve, or what he might be thinking. Can we stop sheltering these fascists from the real world reactions to their policies and priorities? Otherwise we're just enabling them. 26 minutes ago, Litti said: I don't think those numbers are accurate even now because what Trump was talking about was the people who was not included in the unemployed group because they had stopped looking for work, thus considered "employed" BUT Trump's numbers ARE record breaking By the way that "Orange cl*wn" is the President.

Yeah the unemployment numbers were FAKE when the president was black, now they're AWESOME when the president is a white supremacist con man and known liar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes not the most popular mobile phone about these days but I think I heard or watched an interview where Duff & maybe Axl preferred the user interface of the BB.

Popular Post IncitingChaos Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 Missed most of the discussion. But if Axl is voting then that’s a good thing. Democracy only works when everyone participates, famous or not the United States government is a reflection of its electorate. The more participation the better. No need to be hurt by someone’s beliefs and opinions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely curious and maybe you feel safer to be honest in a GNR forum where politics is just a thing that comes up here and there.... But do people like you genuinely believe the non-sense that comes out of you or are you just so all in on Trump you're going to defend him no matter what? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXL will be the next #MeToo ... except he's actually guilty I don't really care that he's a Democrat, people are allowed to have their own beliefs, but it's kinda odd how the man who made himself who he is by being a symbol of independence & rebellion against the establishment is so vehemently against the political counterpart of that ... Donald Trump Ah no. I think this is a bit mad. Independence & rebellion in a band = good. Independence & rebellion in politics = bad. The stages, audiences and international influence are very different..... Axl never had access to nukes. But I guess because trump was on TV you think of him in this way, isn’t that a curious fucking thing.... Ah no. It’s not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very weak point but that's what they are saying. Also implying that the Democratic party reaches out to people who don't speak English to vote for them. Which is apparently a problem. Bad American, speaking his mind. Doesn’t matter to who it is he speaks, bad American. Commenting on an American Election. That he voted in. Shhh. Some Latin people might read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RussTCB Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hid the last page or so of "discussion". If you want to discuss the bands social media, do so here. If you want to make posts obviously attempting to bait others into a political debate, go do it in the correct thread in the Anything Goes section. Good luck with that though 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to pick a new favorite band. I think you are missing the point here. Nobody is trying to bury or hide Axl's political views. Though I personally believe that most people here (and elsewhere) can and will form their opinions about politics without the guidance of world's most dangerous pianist. No offence, Axl . If Axl (or anyone else in Gn'R -camp) says something political, feel free to talk about it here. The problem is when that discussion turns into arguing/debating about politics with posts that have nothing to do with Gn'R or their political views, it's just people posting personal opinions about the subject matter (=politics). Those discussions belong to Anything goes, not here. There's another thread here in D & N forum that is about Trump/Gn'R and nobody is asking that thread to be relocated somewhere else in this forum. Why? Because it actually has something to do with Gn'R. IMO Russ has already made this clear, but if you still don't understand, then there's nothing we can do about it.

Time to pick a new favorite band. What is it that you want to discuss? We agree or disagree with Axl's views. Having said that, if you want to discuss healthcare or immigration. This is not the right thread. This is a thread where what they say on their social media gets posted. So everyone can see it. Sure, some comments can be made. But this is not a thread for political debate. This is a GN'R forum. So everything that is off topic ( not related to GN'R music or tours) can be discussed in other sections of the forum. There is no conspiracy here. Things are not organized to hide anything. Edited November 1, 2018 by Padme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to pick a new favorite band. Axl isn't "political now", he tweets some things here and there about politics. As I've said many times, I don't care about politics at all, let alone what Axl thinks about them. On top of that, politics have ALWAYS been in the Anything Goes section, regardless when Axl decided to care / tweet about politics. So again, if you want to discuss politics, do so in the correct thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
