SectionC3

In other words, you want Tiberius to put a cork in it, right? I disagree. I think this insanity demands independent coverage.

A bunch of white dudes for nailed for insider trading awhile back. So no free lunches for white dudes either, right? Kind of how like Trump’s ***** fake tan would have been ***** 20 years ago, and is even more shirty now.

Do Black Lives Matter? I don’t know if he’s a racist, and Lorax has a reasonable approach. But man, what Fromm said is awful. He’s talking about limiting certain dangerous weaponry to whites people. I didn’t get “joke” from that context, and neither did the recipient. At best it’s a bad look that will be dealt with rather uncomfortably on the field in August.

Almost as dumb as suggesting that we drink bleach to fight the virus. Seriously. What does an enlightenment moral lens have to do with the questioning the orientation of the two major political parties in the United States?

i can’t speak for the guy who planned to make the video, but I suspect that his plan was to mock you by giving you the opportunity to place some of your “alt-wrong” views on video. Frankly I think it would be hilarious to watch some people here fumble for words, resort to a “you’re deeply, deeply stupid” comment, and then etch-a-sketch a meme to explain their position.

Did Trump tweet that from the bunker this morning?

And yet you responded to me. Section C3, 1, Third and Long, 0.

What is your obsession with your junk? It’s disturbing how much you focus on that. The question remains- have we made American great again and now seek to keep it that way, or are we asking for more time to keep 2016’s promise to make America great again?

I’m still waiting for him to tell me what “DILS” means. it’s his acronym, not mine, and I’d like him to explain what it means.

It’s sad to learn that you’re too much of a snowflake to wear your MAGA hat. That’s very much a bunker mentality. Which is not surprising for obvious reasons. Quick question - is the Trump campaign theme “Make America Great Again” or “Keep America Great?” The fact that he’s saying “Make America Great Again” again admits that he hasn’t really gotten around to “Making America Great Again” in the last couple of years. Which was sort of the point of his presidency, at least according to him. On the other hand, the whole idea of “Keep America Great” might sound a bit hollow with, you know, three simultaneous generational crises that have festered as Trump has stewed in his bunker. So, since you’re a Kool-Aid-drinking Trumper, I figured I’d ask you whether America is great and the plan is to keep it great, or if we’re back to where we started in 2015 and you think that it kind of sucks and is not so great and needs to be made great again at some point in the future.

What’s a DILS list?

Another day, another nasty comment from you. I pushed back as far as I could on the measure, but you’ve left me no choice. You’re on the Short Fuse list. “Make stuff up and say that Trump is unfit for office.” So is it that they will say that Trump is unfit for office, and also make stuff up? Or will they make up things to support what apparently is their view that Trump is unfit for office? Please elaborate.

We have other parties in NYS. Tons of them. Be a WFP. Or a green. Or a conservative. Build a party.

It’s an awful video and torgalski is probably going to get fired but this is not assault second. Flynn did not have to charge this case this way.

Why is he a douche?

I don’t think there’s a dangerous instrument issue here. I suspect this is the “elder assault” statue, which I think requires internet to cause physical injury and incorporates the age criteria. If McCabe was charged this way, it’s a joke. Torgalski is a reach on this one bc if the intent issue. Maybe they get torgalski on assault 3 or harassment. But assault 2 is reachy.

Yeah I agree. Intent to cause physical injury is part of that charge, right? (I could look it up, but not into doing that two minutes of work now.) I just don’t see it. I suspect assault third is a lesser includes of this assault charge, as might be harassment. Maybe they get torgalski on a lesser as part of a compromise. Charging McCabe with assault second based on what I’ve seen is ... odd. I like John Flynn A LOT. But this is not right.

You’re an American and you don’t know what a coup is. What’s your excuse? What you repeatedly discover that rock bottom has a trap door it’s not that hard to speculate that the best is yet to come.

How are anonymous dudes in white sheets burning crosses addressable under Shapiro’s ambiguous criteria? They cannot be named, and they have no articulable policy. Short response from you.

This is really insightful. Nicely done. I came to this board mostly to amuse myself. And, along the way, I have learned a few things. You know what the hell you’re talking about. I might disagree with some of your politics, but I very much enjoy reading your posts and I appreciate what you have written here. Very, very well done.

The country would be full of stinky piss. But we would be healthier for it.

Viewed through the prism of video I completely agree with you. In real time I see that part of the encounter like the part where the officer pushed the protester. If the officer gets the benefit of the doubt on pushing the guy (which may be the case) on the ground that the fast-moving situation might have been fairly characterized as a threat to officer safety, then I think you have to look at the part of the incident where the protester is on the ground through the same lens and ask why the police didn’t ensure that the guy who was a threat seconds earlier wasn’t completely eliminated as a threat (either through a zipcuff or through a quick inspection that confirmed the medical issue had eliminated any threat he may have posed). I don’t think we’re really disagreeing here. We just see the video slightly differently. Kind of like there might have been different perspectives on the ground yesterday. (*All of that said, the whole thing looks reprehensible to me and I have a hard time defending what the officer did.) All of this is true, but it overlooks the point that people are pissed off because the person supposed to be protecting the public killed a member of the public in the Floyd incident. That’s, of course, a very narrow view of what’s occurred here. I see Floyd as a tipping point or a match for frustrations, mostly related to the indignities of life as a minority in this country but probably in some small part related to the frustration of the pandemic, and here we are today. You do make a good point: we all need to chip in and be better in our own ways, whether it’s, among other things, being more aware of the indignities I mentioned and actually doing something about them, or being more proactive about the knuckleheads in our own community. I woke up curious about what you thought about the BPD incident from last night. Any thoughts?

Phone in the right hand, what appeared to be a police helmet in the left hand. I rewatched after your post and I didn't see anything that indicated an "reach" toward an officer's service weapon. That said, I appreciate that I watched it from a distance and that there is a remote possibility that the officer in question might have seen the movement only out of the corner of his eye and reacted accordingly. Also, I'm not concerned about not putting the flex cuffs on the guy. The point is that if he actually presented a threat to officer safety you'd think the police would have neutralized that threat instead of stepping past him. That part doesn't wash with me.

Twitter will say another clue in the mystery of why Rand Paul's neighbor kicked the crap out of him.

If the fetus was born alive, the fetus would become a "person" and that would "count" as the death of "person" under the eyes of the law. If not, then that instance of gun violence would not have killed a "person" as the term is established in the law.
