Damn. Couldn’t have said it better.

I think about leaving this board when I see garbage posted by salvy, raining 3, and the other 3-4 morons.
But then I read more coherent thoughts from other members and I feel there’s hope for humanity.

honestly I don’t even follow the rockets anymore. It’s mostly a lifestyle forum for me. Mostly hangout and now DD thanks to the ever increasing political divide.

 

Why does the NRA hate Trump?

 

Trump is really good at marketing. He is exceptionally bad at actually doing things. When he has his major screwups, he markets a new reality ... and ... absolutely never takes any responsibility for the screwups.

Anybody hoping that these two killings would lead to institutional reforms in ICE and CPB is not paying attention. Trump will eventually pull out agents from Minnesota but that is just to move them elsewhere. Trump will then claim that he solved all of Minnesota's problems.

For anyone hoping that justice will be brought for these two killings, Trump wants them, the state of Minnesota and all courts to know ... "Make me!" The shooters will get Presidential Medal of Freedom awards (and federal pardons) before they see their day in a state court post 2028.

The MSM being ... not so liberal.

 

I agree with ... shutters ... Bill Kristol.

 

For what very little it is worth ... It is the usual suspects for the R side, who have absolutely no backbone, when push comes to shove.

When you've lost NYPOST....

 

Not to worry.

Not to worry. They'll be back.

 

TikTok brain is a real thing.

True.

 

I'm honestly.not judging or saying what I think should happen. I'm not saying what should or shouldn't be. Only what I'm seeing.

I've come across a bunch of "middle of the road" "both sides" types livid to the point that they are swearing and losing their cool. One case I can write that off as something else, but when I see it four or five times?

The response from "the middle" is qualitatively different from those other cases based on my non-scientific sampling. There have even been a few hard right people who've had enough and aren't interested in carying water for the administration any longer which would have been unthinkable a few months ago.

Again, not saying it deserves to be the instance that becomes mythologized over the other things you've mentioned. I'm not even sure that the response isn't more a cumlative effect than anything specific here.

I'm just saying that in the way people have been responding, I see signs of that people across the spectrum have more anger about this than they did for any of the stuff that's come before.

 

I think reasonable people on both sides can see what happened and no matter how they saw the events, they beleive there should be an indepdent in depth investigation and steps taken to de-escalate. Instead the see the administration lying about the victims and no chance of accountability.

Anyone that truly believes the killings were justified, should want a thorough independent investigation.

Anyone that doesn't believe the killings were justified should also want a thorough independent investigation.

The administration is failing everyone.

 

Which brings us to: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell nailed this dynamic in 1984. When people argue against what they clearly saw, it is not about facts anymore, it is about protecting a worldview.

 

FIFY

 

How does that leather taste? Boot licking b****. Absolutely pathetic excuse for an American.

Trump will retaliate as always, whether it's news, polling, or anything else. He can't stand the truth. He wants nothing to be heard but his altered state of truth.

He's been promoting his wife's upcoming documentary daily. You know, the trophy wife, who pretends to love him and say what he tells her to. Just another fake fairytale, which I'm sure will leave out all their days partying and hanging out with Epstein and Maxwell. He's livid that he's not getting the approval he wants.
