    The trump campaign was paying pollsters to rig polls in Trump’s favor lmao the f---ing irony. Reminded me of a post from one of our biggest “fake polls!” posters on here lol.

    Cohen is saying what the FBI wants him to say to try and save his a--- and reduce prison time. They probably pre wrote a script for him to say those exact words tbh. That’s just how the system works, when they want to go after a certain target. Do I fully believe Cohen? Absolutely not. Is there some truth to some of the stuff he has been saying? Probably.

    Trump was smart enough to not get himself directly involved in what was happening. Plus in trumps defense, Cohen at the time probably thought if my client becomes president, my lawyer reputation will be huge. More money for representing cases. More money all together. So you have to look at these kind of things from both sides. And Cohen is just a rat now saying whatever to try and reduce prison time. Let’s be honest about that. He already got caught lying by the fbi before, so why should Americans believe this guy now. Hillary literally put Americans lives in danger and bombed innocent people and she doesn’t catch anything from the feds.

    Cohen has no reason to lie if he’s cooperating with the feds for a shorter sentence. More lying isn’t going to get him a shorter sentence. We already know for a *fact* that Trump gave him money to silence Stormy Daniels, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that someone with Trump’s ego would pay pollsters to inflate his numbers. That sounds exactly like something Donald Trump would do. Also, how is he a “rat” if you’re suggesting what he’s claiming is misleading/untrue? You can’t have both.

    Cohen worked for Trump for YEARS. Trump is directly involved with everything Cohen did because he did it all on his behalf. Trump is a conman who bends & breaks the law to get what he wants. He did it throughout his career as a businessman & has continued to do it as president. Talking about putting lives in danger, remember this?

    Cohen is a f---ing rat. He’s making any statement the FBI writes for him to try and make Trump seem like he was some head honcho behind this. When you’re cooperating with the FBI, you’re a rat Engima. And I saw you like those anti limpbizkit post. I didn’t appreciate it.

    Tomorrow, I’ll have my paper finished on how a border wall should scientifically end up benefiting our economic growth and slow down the fentanyl being smuggled in and g--- members and a mass reduce of ms-13 members, resulting in a lot less gun violence. I’ll be posting that b---- here for you and it may be enough to shake you out of your boots.

    I’m going to her campaign launch rally in Oakland this Sunday! Pretty stoked, I’m likely going to volunteer for her campaign in the future too.

    I think she has a pretty good shot at the nomination. It will be interesting to see how she does. Beto needs to make his announcement already.

    I could see Enigma in a political career tbh. Remember him on SL when he was starting out posting in the politics section. He got beaten around some, but it was a harder forum to defend yourself and we had more educated politcial posters then. Honestly think we should have our own politic section @Slyk It did really good on SL and we have enough political posters that would keep the section open. Especially if a case against trump for impeachment does happen. Also I miss @ASK JEEVz posting in politics. Please come back man. Curious on your thoughts with Trump as president.

    But Enigma has improved over the years and can tell he took some legit political classes in college. I only took one political science class. I just really enjoyed debating. Me and a friend went to one of those open debates, and we did fairly well. A few others were better at open talking. This was right before Romney vs Obama so it was pretty intense. Only me and him and one other couple were on Romney’s side. I just liked trolling and getting some people fired up. It was my buddies major so he did the more into depth talking on the politicians plans, if he gets elected. With being registered again for some classes, almost thinking about political science as a minor in the fall. But idk if my hearts into it enough, with trump currently as president and a good chance he’ll be re-elected as president.

    Just hope the democrats actually run someone who Americans will trust and someone loyal. They need to campaign in smaller rural areas instead of just main cities like Clinton did. A lot of redneck voters come out of the woodwork during election, and the democrats really underestimated the process. Trump trolled most veterans into voting for him. Him not showing up multiple times for supporting military should help whoever ends up being being the main candidate against him and will be bringing all this up.

    you really think we have enough activity to keep that active/afloat?
    thread count doesn't necessarily equal activity/content, since there's been a ton of posts in some of the threads (this one in particular), but this is what's currently been generated in recent past:

    I think it would attract more users already here into discussing political discussion more. It’s always good topics that can be debating about all day. And I think guests (at least semi educated ones) seeing it would be more likely to join seeing people are talking about politics too. Instead of just being a forum known as an Eminem based forum. Nothing wrong with that back in the day, but he’s so bad and irrelevant now to where it’s going to turn off a lot of potential guest thinking this is mainly a eminem forum. Like still having Future as a featured artist is lazy imo. And young thug? Really? Has he had a single that charted the past 2 years? We have newer hotter rappers rising that would draw more users. Those kind of rappers already have some fan forum their fans post at.

    Like maybe have a Juice Wrld feature and Shoreline Mafia tbh. Rappers blowing up would attract new users. It seems you guys are just a little out of touch with rappers these days. Same with Kayne, dude really fell off and most of his fans post at KTT. You could attract way more users featuring up and coming artist.

    And if it wasn’t for a politics section on SL, idk if I would have joined tbh. There’s other places I could go discuss music with more activity. Seeing that the forum had other topics is what drawed me in. I don’t see how a politics section could hurt anything at this point tbh. Especially with this shut out, a new election in about 2 years. A lot of political drama going on. A lot of former SL regulars who mainly stayed in the politics section don’t visit here anymore because it’s like politics isn’t welcomed here. Immortal Technique and Ask Jeevz, meadows killas just to name a few.

    Nothing concrete, but a lot seems to be pointing to a run. He met with top Iowa democrats and Al Sharpton. I think he will need to be on the offensive more to stand a chance. The far left candidates are going to have a field day with his moderate voting record. I still think that a socialist will get the democratic nomination.

    i want Klobuchar, but Beto doesn't sound bad either. he's young, charismatic, experienced, doesn't seem too far left to where he'll alienate the more moderate dems and midwesterners for looking "snowflakey". he's on almost every poll as a top 3 wanted candidate along with Biden and Sanders. most of all he's likeable. i was big on Booker at first but he feels like an actor in some way. something feels ingenuine. whereas Beto's got this down to earth obama, or more accurately kennedy vibe.

    he needs to run, he rly could be a landslide win.

    1. Kamala Harris
    2. Kristen Gillibrand
    3. Sherrod Brown (if he runs)

    Those my top 3 right now tbh. Harris, if she runs her campaign the way i anticipate, she could wipe the floor with Trump in 2020. She has such widespread appeal & hasn’t even maximized her name recognition yet. She could really put together a very diverse coalition. The hardest part for her is getting through the primaries. I know her DA & AG record are going to come up A LOT in the primaries but if she can weather that storm, I think she’d be a golden general election candidate.

    anyone would lose against Trump in 2020. His only challengers are Biden and Sanders but looks like the establishment doesnt want sanders anymore because of the sexual harrasment accusations and lets be serious hed be in a wheelchair in the primaries and if he *somehow* wins h--- die in office most likely. biden seems healthier a little bit but trump would label him as a pedo and most likely ruin his campaign although biden is a threat cause he can get pennsylvania. anyone other than these 2 dudes would lose

    been wanting to respond to this as well... sftw

    seems like you're really suggesting that we go back to a non-artist specific music sxn tbh. changing which artist sxns exist/don't on a regular basis may be a better look to a passer-byer, but would be an absolute nightmore for usability. one of 2 things would happen: 1.) we add sxns infinitely "to stay current", in which case the sxns will be so fragmented and convoluted that it's impossible to find what you're looking for; 2.) we swap sxns (old artist for new ones), in which case, you could log in one day and find that the artist sxn that you've been navigating to for the past 6 months is now deprecated and all of those threads have been dumped into the generic 'music' sxn.

    the only alternatives are: 1.) put all music in the generic music sxn; 2.) have featured artist sxns as staples on the site.

    interested to get your take on things, but those are the only 4 logicial options i can come up with, and none of them are perfect, but the latter 2 seem the best from a usability-perspective...and we've tried both of those options for extended periods oftime.

    ...do you have access to update the featured albums/banner? i can give that to ya if not
