  5. It's way beyond that. It's complete denial of the fact that people like the POS pussy shooter noted above are part of their group. "I'm a responsible gun owner and I don't write racist manifestos, so this doesn't apply to me and it's not my problem" is 100% the mindset. Never mind the people they vote for undercut every measure (read: gun laws, healthcare, mental health, basic income, etc) that could have prevented this in the first place. Just because some parts of the GQP message don't resonate with them doesn't mean it won't with others. There are lunatics on the "other side" too, but they want crazy shit like everyone to make the exact same amount of money and shit. They aren't walking up to random people and murdering them. That's 100% on one side. And this is your fucking mess. Own it; clean it the fuck up on your own. We're tired of you kicking over our mop bucket every time we do it for you.

  7. Just so’s I understand their collective consensus opinion: 1) we will lose more games because we lost bijan, who we leaned on for several wins, and can’t replace him 2) achane was actually better than bijan despite the stats last season and draft order. 3) aggy will be better even though they lost achane-who is better than bijan, and who they leaned on for several wins, because…here’s where I can’t square the circle.

  8. Every year the GOP mash together a bunch of warm hollow words and phrases like Freedom. Faith. Family Values. National Security. Securing the Border. Small Business. Jobs. To trick the simpletons that masturbate to a fantasy of small town America that doesn’t exist except in a ghost written country song. In reality, the GOP has had the same platform when they were called Dixiecrats, or Redeemers before that, or Confederates before that. The platform is white heterosexual Christian males should be the only ones allowed to have power. They can dress it up in a new word salad of bullshit, but it’s never changed. It’s the reason they only “back the blue” when they’re locking up non-whites It’s the reason why they gerrymander voting districts away from non-whites It’s the reason why they allow corporations to pollute small town America, to move jobs oversees, and hire illegal immigrants They don’t give a fuck about people, small towns, or America. They only care about power.

  10. If there is no information out there about Nashville, then how do you know anything? Your concern is not breadth of coverage. Your concern is that you can't find a way to use the Nashville information to distract and deflect from the concern about mass shootings in general and the use of military style weapons by the perpetrators. I'm sorry your distraction doesn't fly in this context. Perhaps you should try to stay within the bounds of the discussion. Actually, the crimes are profoundly different even it the results may be the same. The violent home invaders you describe operate with a discernable even if despicable motive. They're violent thieves. It's the same with your carjackers. Violent felons trying to steal and exercising their more brutal inclinations. The Walmart killer, the guy(s) in Florida, the church and synagogue shooters, the guy who shot up Sandy Hook and the bloody child murderer of Uvalde represent violence and capability and motive that are alarming in their execution. None of these men had motives related to gain for themselves. There is no way to predict where such men will strike. In your home, you can take measures to secure yourselves: locked doors, alarm systems, security services, and the bedside pistol. In your car, you can be careful about how you stop in traffic: leave room between you and the car in front to drive off if need be. Avoid areas that have experienced car jacking. Maybe have mace or a pistol in the car. In short, there is enough predictability in the possible crime to give you some chance of preventing or eluding the perpetrators. Shopping in a Walmart, teaching elementary school kids, or going to a social gathering in a synagogue are not events likely to attract violent criminals. The woman in her car (handicapped spot, I noticed) in Jacksonville has no real defense against a series of military rounds smashing through the windshield of her car. Why would anyone do that? Same for the other mass shoootings named in this horrifying thread. This is the reason they're so WTF? Compared to other violent crime, the motive is either indescernable or founded simply in hate. The AR-15 magnifies the damage that can be done. Like my first answer above, this is irrelevant to the topic. Addressing the topic of those crimes is not essential to the topic of America's gun culture and the resulting mass shootings. You mention fear. If a wolf is running me down, should my fear or focus be diminished because somewhere else a guy is being run down by a tiger? I missed all of your concerned off-topic posts about dog-poisoning or human trafficking. I guess you are a hypocrite. Either that, or the form of "argument" you think you are employing here is fallacious. I'll let the people decide. The intentions of someone concerned about cleaning the water supply in one village is not diminished nor made into hypocrisy because the person isn't taking action for all villages in the world. This is a symptom of what the hate engine and Rush Limbaugh and his ilk have done to discourse. You believe that criticizing the scope of someone's concern proves the person's hypocrisy thus allowing you to dismiss all else associated with that person and issue. This substitute for reasoning is maybe the most pervasive and cancerous of the right's attempt to destroy the republic. I've seen this idiotic tactic used many times over the decades. A GOP who wouldn't offer a street person a sandwich he found on the ground turns the magnificent engine of his intellect on the DEM. "So you're all about loving humanity, but you didn't raise a finger to help the people starving in the Sahara! I think I'll go and be smug now as I do absolutely nothing for anybody anywhere." It's hard to determine if this practice is more despicable or cretinous. Because of the things I wrote above, this post is what reasonable people are left with. You make yourself the stone on which the toe is stubbed. Implacable deliverer of pain. Ditto Many people responding to you had voted GOP most of their lives. There are recent defections from the GOP as well. Good people have trouble sustaining lies. Good people eventually recognize when all the dogma about policy is just a sugar coating on a poison pill. They admirably make that step away from something that had been a big part of their identity. They don't embrace Dem policies; they just have no home where their political philosophies hold sway. I've been persuaded to change my mind about different things here. There is no argument strong enough that I would consider voting GOP. I can imagine arguments and political developments that would sway my voting tendency from the Dems as a party despite the presence there of many excellent leaders and persons who truly care about the republic.

  11. I’m not ready for people like Trump and his ilk — the white supremacists, the fascists, the neo-Confederates, the religious bigots — to redefine what America represents or stands for. I’m still dedicated to the proposition that all people are created equal and the resolution that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. That’s the America I pledge my allegiance to and I’m proud to do it I’m offended by the corruption of the pledge by the insertion of the words “under god.” It’s more meaningful without them and I don’t recognize them. I think they should be officially removed. “One nation indivisible” is a more powerful expression and it looks to me like there a lot of Americans who could use a reminder. I think some might forget how recently the change was made.

  14. Fall camp is over and game week has begun. Texas kicks off what I expect to be the best season in more than a decade with expectations of winning a conference title for the first time since 2009. 2009 was also the last time texas was predicted to win the conference, so, maybe we got that going for us, which would be nice. Rice game thoughts, news, etc go here. I’m bummed that the MOB won’t be coming to DKR but everything else is really exciting about this week. I’ve got Texas 56, Rice 3 texas is a 35.5 point favorite and the over under is 59.5. At our book we just put down Texas and the under and the odds were +510. So glad football is back in our lives.

  16. This is where I'm at. Every argument against Democrats almost strictly involves questionable policies. Oh, these numb nut tree huggers have terribly policy ideas about giving the poors money that probably won't work and will cost us millions. Okay, cool, let's debate it. Meanwhile, almost every member of the modern GOP tangentially--or straight up directly--supports the worst human beings currently walking this earth. White supremacy, Holocaust denial, anti-Semitism, fascism, cultism, xenophobes, bigots, and stochastic terrorists. But both sides, yo. Dishonest fucks.

  19. My daughter (no pics you thirsty dudes) designed a project where certain plants were modified with bioluminescence so when they came in contact with explosive materials the grass would glow. Pretty fucking cool. She did not get the chance to prove it in the field and the lab she was at owns the concept. Research stopped when she graduated from High School and went to her university. My dad linked her up with some EOD people from 5th Special Forces who helped with the chemicals within a lot of explosives. They were very excited about it. I wish she had continued it. Mines and UXO are a big thing in the family. We don't like them......

  25. one of the lies the violence-industrial complex tells gun enthusiasts (and I am one, to be clear) to feel better is that outside of the deranged/racist mayhem usually involving AR-15s the *real* mass shooting problem is black and minority gang violence on the border and in places like southside Chicago. It's not true, obviously. About 2/3rd of the time it involves either domestic violence or people with a history of family violence, but knowing that would allow people like fatty to come around on red flag laws, and they can't have that.

  32. That's literally the fucking point, man. No, we shouldn't trivialize or minimize gang violence, but I've got a pretty good idea on how to keep my kids from winding up a victim of it. Please instruct me how we keep completely random victims and kids away from schools, Walmarts, Dollar Generals, concerts, etc., etc. and the latest dipshit with a manifesto.

  34. After the fall of #Robotyne, the flanks of #Verbove are dangerously wide open for the Russians. Plus the 12 km between the two villages will be extremely difficult to defend for Russia as reinforcements would have to travel under Ukrainian surveillance and artillery. Almost impossible. ➡️ My estimate would be therefore that Ukrainian troops will use the created gap to move southwards and bypass the heavy defenses north of #Novoprokopivka. If this happens, Russians must abandon their trenches around the village. The possible beginning of a domino effect north of #Tokmak. Fingers crossed.
