Again what rule have I gone against?
You don’t like my views and that’s perfectly fine. But wanting mods to swoop in- just to censor dissent, on a pol thread no less where differences are to be expected - is not a valid desire.
Got a tip for us?

Pssst: they were paintings of a story from the Bible that has been the subject of dozens of paintings by other artists for hundreds of years.

Im not referring to the ugly fern painting itself. Referring to the painter of this fern painting's other work, including depictions of beheading white people

I'm ready for your justification for this one, I'll wait.
Why ask for the mods to take action while thadoggfather didn't do or say anything against the rules, I completely disagree with thadoggfather on this topic but that does not mean he should get reported for having an opinion.
By the way, I need more popcorn.
Uh, the beheading is the Bible story I mentioned. It has been the subject of hundreds of paintings. You’re criticizing Obama’s portrait artist for painting the same Bible story painted by Michelangelo (on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel) among many others.
Here’s Titian’s version:

I'm sure ranting about Podesta is "off topic", and I've had posts outright deleted for less.
sorry for potentially being off topic but related to other things we've been talking about, upsets you more than a lot of evidence pointing towards evidence that Podesta is a pedophile
priorities, right?
Assuming, with no real basis, that words you don’t understand from some emails are about pedophilia is not a “lot of evidence.”
That, obviously, and what the hell does it have to do with Obama being offered a show?
He's popular in his circles, and unpopular in those that disagree with him.
As evidence of this, he did win both the popular and electoral votes against mediocre candidates, and I do believe he would have won against President Trump, but that's an argument for a bar.
However, his popularity didn't carry to the other branches, where the House and Senate switched and stayed.
So, maybe this is a good thing for him, but there is risk for presenting a former President on "what they would do" in emergent events. The question that will be on peoples' mind, either in the back of it or up front is, "Well, why didn't you?"
I'm more a fan of the "You had your turn at the top, now let the next person have their chance," and in that Mr. Carter, Mr. Clinton, and Mr. G.H.W. Bush are doing well in that. The other Mr. Bush did well until about 16 months ago.
We here in North America tend to look at the entire world from our perspective. Netflix stated that worldwide Obama has a very positive view and has 101 million twitter following. What three times Trumps. Netflix growth is not in North America but the rest of the world. The business side thinks the shows would be a home run for Netflix. Will see if the deal is done and how well executed.
I’m curious, but is this a thing on the right-wing fringe? Do people really pretend that Obama did something that will send him to prison?
Yeah, and a picture of Trump doesn’t do the same to Obama’s voters? Spare me your partisan hogwash.
So am I to understand - that all the anti-Apple trolls on this site, are also Trump voters...? (at least the American ones) I never made the connection before, but from the most upvoted comments, looks like that may be the case.
Why did he hire a team of lawyers last year. That scum bag is going down.
You can’t wiretap a political opponent for the gain of your party. When it all goes does the democrat party will cease to be.
In the end he will confirm he’s a Kenyan to try and get out of his mess.

8 years of listening to that lying blowhard putz wasn't enough? No thanks
Mac rumours, the whole ‘due to the political ‘ blah blah thing is ridiculous. Many of the posts in this thread show that being a regular contributor is no guarantee of sense and balance. Just open the bloody forums up or don’t allow comments.
If Netflix or Apple wants Obama, that's their business decision, people don't have to watch the programs. Watch something else. They'll get the hint.
The world outside the US (it does exist) had high hopes for Obama, hence the awarding of the Noble Peace Prize before he did anything. However, he just continued Bush's wars, started new ones and left them as failed states with consequences that entails, and increased aggressiveness with Russia and China. He made things worse not better, a major letdown. Peoples opinion on him depends on where you stand and what stories you are fed.

So true. I just don’t get it. What are those extraordinary achievements that Obama did as President that he is held so high from his fans other than the ones you mention. He also promised to close Gitmo but did nothing.
To this day I still hold my point that Obama got elected because people were excited to see the first black president of USA no matter if this man is not a fit for that position or if he is part of the elite and would serve their agenda. I know cause that’s how I felt living in Europe, he really inspired hope just because of his color not his actions as president.
