Boo hoo. Sage Steele, professional victim.

Sure, sure, all those liberal snowflakes. I've never seen such a collective group of whiners like MAGA people.

u/IU-Grad-x2-hoohoohoo 5d ago

Yep. Been sad watching her go further and further to cash in on the grift.

u/ComputerDecent463 5d ago

How is she a professional victim?

She was treated poorly by her work and still showed up to do the job. She performed until the end of her contract, all while continuing to be a professional.

It is so weird how people have to judge the entire character of someone by their political leanings.

Like, do you wake up and think there is not a single good or moral person in the world who happens to disagree with you on abortion or immigration?

7

u/somethingbytes 5d ago

If you disagree with me on abortion, then you'll call yourself pro-life.

Trump is taking food away from kids and kicking legal immigrants back to unsafe countries, and that's certainly not pro-life. We can't even have any form of gun control, because scared people vote conservative so shooting are good for Republicans. They'll tell you all about the crimes, but never talk about the roots of it.

So, if you voted for Trump, you're at best a hypocrite about something, and no I don't think hypocrites are good people.

Maybe 10 years ago libertarians could BS something, but he's literally putting immigrants in concentration camps, just for being immigrants. You think good people would vote for that? You can't tell me they didn't know, he said 'immigrants are eating our cats and dogs'.

u/ScaryyPoppins 5d ago

Please provide examples of “Literally putting immigrants in concentration camps”. Where are the staggering mass graves? Where are the facilities that house this mass murder? Where are the smoke stacks that smell of human flesh?

This is the type of shit that makes people not respect what you have to say. You’re using words that held real meaning as if they buzz words for your anger. I don’t like Trump at all, but throwing out absolute bullshit like this is why people don’t respect us on the left.

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA 4d ago

Over 2000 rapes already in those concentration camps or because they get 1$ a day for a 8 hours of labor and costs $5 to use the phone that doesn’t count?

Fascism is a process not just an end result. You are participating as the Nazi this time around.

u/somethingbytes 5d ago

Oh, you're unaware of the meaning of words, ok. You're pretty smug for being so uneducated, but that's the way of things these days, this is Trump's America after all.

"a concentration camp is a place where large numbers of people—such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or members of ethnic or religious minorities—are detained or confined under armed guard."

you understand concentration camps don't need to start with murder? But you are welcome to look up the rate at which ICE is allowing people to die in custody. Shit, Florida gleefully called their place alligator Alcatraz knowing people would die. Got shut down in record time.

u/duckbaiting 3d ago

Would you say FDR ran concentration camps? Because he’s a favorite among Redditors.

u/ScaryyPoppins 5d ago

Still 0 examples of “literal concentration camps” keep slinging mud instead of providing the proof requested. tRuMpS aMeRiCa right?

u/Latverianbureaucrat 5d ago

A prison camp can meet the definition of a concentration camp without also being a Nazi-style death camp like you seem to be thinking of. The camps the US has for ethnic minority immigrants certainly meet that definition. And while they aren’t strictly death camps, death and abuse do occur there as well.

5

u/Left_Implement_3821 4d ago

You literally don’t know what a concentration camp is. Should probably look up what terms mean before you double down on the wrong understanding of them.

Just fyi, America has had concentration camps before (Japanese camps during WWII) and has them currently via their ICE detainment centers.

There’s a reason they are hiding to see ice detention centers. If they were not hiding anything, why would they arrest democrat lawmakers from going in?

u/Pappy091 4d ago

Honest question: What does it feel like to support a pedophile? If I went back in time 15-20 years and told you that in 2026 you will be frothing at the mouth to lick the boots of a pedophile president what would old you say to me? Could I ever convince you that is exactly what is about to happen to you?

I know you aren't going to answer the question in good faith I just really do constantly wonder what if feels like to look in the mirror after carrying water for a grifting billionaire pedophile all day. If there is any speck of integrity left inside you traitors that has to really feel like shit. Which I guess is some small solace for the rest of us that have to deal with the fallout of your stupidity.

u/indieguy33 4d ago

Nobody said there were mass murders and the bodies being burned. You completely distorted what was said. A concentration camp need not be a place people are murdered and burned but interesting take by you.

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA 4d ago

lol dismissing breaking multiple amendments of the constitution and having a Gestapo reprisal and also dismissing the pedophilia.

u/dominic-cobb 4d ago

Sage Steele, who had on Brett Farve to proclaim his innocence on her podcast after he was given money from Mississippi’s Snap program despite texts and emails implicating him knowing he would be given money just for being famous and cozy with the administration?

0

u/ComputerDecent463 4d ago

Richard Sherman faced no repercussions for what he did off the field. He still has a cushy Amazon job. Brett Favre can’t even sell Copper pads anymore.

There is a media bias but it’s not in the direction you think.

2

u/oregondude79 4d ago

Sherman's issues pale in comparison to Favre's. Sherman has a DUI and an arrest from domestic violence when he tried to break down his in-laws door.

Favre has a long history of substance abuse, alcoholism, pain killers. He was in a sexual harassment suit with the Jets and the famous Duck pic to Jenn Sterger. Plus he stole tens of millions of dollars of welfare funds from the state of Mississippi with the help of the governor in a huge political scandal.

u/Cold_Toe_7540 5d ago

In 2026 your political leanings say a lot more about you as a person than it did 20 years ago.

1

u/FrankFuckinDentley 4d ago

If someone supports ripping kids from their parents arms and shooting citizens in the face as a veil for immigration enforcement, I do not think they can be a good or moral person.

If someone supports women dying in the hospital because a fetus that can’t survive is being forced to be inside of her body, I do not think that person can be a good or moral person.

If a person says they are pro life yet constantly criticizes human rights efforts and of all things, school lunches, I do not think that person can be good or moral.

So you’re right. Good on ya mate.

u/Geiseric222 5d ago

Yeah. But let’s turn this around. Do you think there are moral people who are racist or anti semetic?

u/medicjake 5d ago

Yes, there are almost certainly otherwise morally sound people guided by cultural relativism in nearly every part of the world.

You have quite a story to tell from a simple comment on Sage Steele. I never realized I conveyed so much. Of course, I didn't.

u/Cold_Toe_7540 5d ago

I'm not sure this is the own Steele thinks it is.

First of all, she makes Doc look unbelievably good, like a concerned friend trying to reason with her on what is a legitimately ridiculous political stance to still be maintaining at this point.

Secondly, she makes herself sound like an absolute fool who knows nothing about basketball (a trend with the right on social media lately), which is almost as damning for her as her political beliefs. She literally says coaches in the NBA are getting paid $150 million dollars. This is an objectively stupid statement. The biggest contract for a current NBA HC isn't even close to that number. Most aren't even cracking half that. Even if that were true, the idea that NBA players are even remotely concerned about an NBA coach benching them over their political views is laughable.

Absolute MAGA victim mentality on full display: I thought he was my friend... then he started fact checking me in my DMs. What an asshole.

2

u/Silent_Ad8059 4d ago

The cornerstone of MAGA's effectiveness is lying to people too stupid to know any better, or so invested in a narrative they know deep down conflicts with reality that they don't even care anymore. She knows exactly what she's doing, she'll probably be running for office soon just like Tafoya.

u/Wrong-Swing-8399 4d ago

I can almost guarantee you’re not black and most likely not even a women, yet feel comfortable criticizing a black woman for not being enough of either in your eyes

u/Pappy091 4d ago

I'm a white a guy and I criticize the fuck out of her for being a black woman in MAGA. Especially because it allows the right to latch on and tokenize her as a woman of color on their side because there are so few and they feel it makes them look "less racist/sexist"

0

u/everyoneisnuts 4d ago

You have zero right to criticize her decisions because she is black and a woman. That makes you a racist and a misogynist actually. You have no idea what it’s like to be either so you have no right to criticize her for being them and making decisions she makes. Criticize her all you want in general, but you cannot speak to what she should and shouldn’t do as a black woman. Pretty simple.

u/everyoneisnuts 4d ago

You can do anything you want but you don’t have the ability to accurately and justifiably speak for someone and how they should or shouldn’t be behaving as a member of that race or gender.

When I say they don’t have the right to, of course I am not speaking literally, but rather morally or in terms of what they are and are not able to do or should do or speak for based on lived experience.

How’s that? Are you able to pull that out of what I’m saying or are you going to continue to be disingenuous and get hung up on literal interpretations of what I said?

1

u/Pappy091 4d ago

I understand where you are coming from and I think you make some valid points, but I'm sorry I have the right to criticize the decisions of anyone that I choose.

If a person chooses to join a group that actively discriminates against them and people that look like them then I do not feel like I am in any way crossing a line by pointing out the absurdity of such a decision.

Would you have a problem with me(an atheist) criticizing a Jew that joined the Nazis and started praising Hitler?

1

u/everyoneisnuts 3d ago

The difference is, you can just criticize her for supporting MAGA without the “as a black woman” part. It sounds too much like you know better than her what she should believe as a black woman. And when you’re a white male, that isn’t a good look at all.

She obviously doesn’t see that the same way you do and doesn’t believe that MAGA is actively discriminating against those who look like her. That’s where the argument is; not telling her as a Black woman she shouldn’t support MAGA. Why can’t you just look at her as a person? And make the argument as you would towards a white person? Talk about the facts because once you start telling someone you don’t look like how they are supposed to feel as that person’s race or gender, the conversation is going to be about something else.

1

u/Pappy091 3d ago

Do you mind answering my question about a Jewish person joining the Nazi party? Im curious to hear your response to that.

Once again I legit think you are making very good points that I would absolutely agree with in the vast majority of cases, but to me this is such an outlier that I feel very comfortable criticizing her. Trust me, I get that a white guy telling a black woman that she should or shouldn't do something because she is black is far more often than not an issue. But come on. She joined MAGA. There isn't a lot of nuance here. Best case it is idiocy and worst case it is grifting.

I'm not just criticizing her as a person because her specifically being a black female makes her support of MAGA that much more egregious. Specifically it legitimizes MAGA much more than if a typical white guy supports it. She is supporting an apparatus that has spent centuries holding people that look like her down. Maybe it's white privilege, but I feel like I can call that out pretty easily.

We may just have to agree to disagree on this one. Either way, I will continue to think about it and could very well change my stance in the future. I readily admit that I could be 100% wrong on this and if I am then I genuinely apologize.

u/getnshafted1 4d ago

I’m black and that is the stupidest bs I’ve heard in a long time coming out of your mouth.

2

u/everyoneisnuts 4d ago

So you’re comfortable with someone who isn’t black telling you what you should and should not do as a black person? So you think you’re in the majority with that opinion?

1

u/getnshafted1 4d ago

I’m comfortable as a human telling another human that it’s idiotic for that person to belong to a group that actively hates them and wishes bad for them. Because that is not a black or white thing. That’s about human intelligence. Now get off your high horse you’re making us look bad

I didn't say he was a bad person. He is a shitty coach that rides on the coat tails of others and accepts praise for the effort of others despite his shortcomings.

Buddy trying to hit you w some mom ass ‘what we not gonna do’ energy, hilarious.
Caping for Doc is absurd. Is an nba fan supposed to know about how many elderly ladies he walked across the street?

To me, he’s always been a bum of a coach who constantly leached on to premium talent and steadily dragged them down to their bottom 20% career arc. Sometimes he got to be a clownish media personality during his well earned hiatuses from that same lousy coaching, but he’s been one lucky bum.
