  1. Not that post. This one: Again, try using your words to explain why you think what you do. Edit: Check out the Zappa interview. Lofton made similar claims anout Zappa’s understanding of events and their meaning amd the future consequences. He was as wrong as you were, when you clamed new Texas laws would not put women with problem pregnancies at risk.
  2. Rex, you are entitled to your opinion. This isn’t meant to call you out. I linked the interview because Lofton relied on insults to counter Zappa’s argument, while Zappa laid out his belief the US was heading towards theocratic autocracy, while supporting his belief with facts. At the very least, Zappa saw that US citizens would lose (by SCOTUS fiat(!)) the right to privacy and to control their lives through family planning. (And, if you’re truly listening, I suggest you learn more about Peter Thiels’ goals, as he is underwriting Vances’ VP nomination as heir apparent. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right-where-peter-thiel-is-placing-his-biggest-bets ) While Lofton looks like a tool in hindsight, he had every opportunity to explain why he thought Zappa was nuts. Not doing so relegates his counter argument to history’s shitter. Sure, I’ve labeled @Anastasis a narcissist, and @fattyflattie a psycho, hut I made sure to tell them why, (with receipts.) Just as you claim, Rex, I hope for a discussion. If you, (as well as Ana, Flatty, et al) are posting what you believe and feel, without explanation, then you really have no room to belittle other folks beliefs. Especially @Brisketexan, who does explain why he thinks as he does.
  3. Still not caught up on this thread, SIAP, but @Rex Kramer and @Anastasis take on @Brisketexan posts reminded me of a 1986 Crossfire show when Frank Zappa and John Lofton discissed censorship. Rax and Ana are as ostrich as Lofton. https://archive.org/details/FrankZappaOnCrossfire
  4. The maga hat on the twitter poster might be a clue.
  5. Fentanyl laced water? Seems fucky. First return on a search is the debunked claim roadside workers, while on the job, are being handed drugged water by passersby in various parts of the country. So, this is a disinfo thing. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-roadside-workers-fentanyl-water-death-hospital-055756958902
  6. Without argument, I was referring to azbadlands.
  7. Alt right nutjob conspiracy theorists must be a protected demographic.
  8. Understand. It just sucks the donation is part of the ongoing major media storyline. And I agree that politics takes a backseat to disaffected maladjustment in this asshole’s motivation.
  9. I haven’t found a link. Care to share? Last night’s reuters and today’s apnews both say he did make the donation, and 20 minutes ago, the BBC said he “reportedly” did so. I hope these outlets are wrong, as removing any tie to left wing causes focuses the narrative. https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-thomas-matthew-crooks-shooter-881581c46c07025898027143fc9132e5 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o.amp
  10. I saw that. Reuters got it wrong, or they got it right. I was posting the latest Reuters report, which, for me, carries weight.
  11. According to Reuters, as of 8:30PM CST, this dumbase did register to vote as a Republican, and did contribute to the gotv organization. His father did purchase the AR 556 long gun he used.His hs counselor did not know him to be political, and claimed the shooter was not the subject of bullying. Everyone quoted in the article expressed surprise by his actions: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/heres-what-we-know-about-thomas-matthew-crooks-suspected-trump-rally-shooter-2024-07-14/
  12. Two spectators were critically injured, according to a SS statement.
  13. MIL is ninety, and still sharp, and that was her immediate reaction. But, at least one dead. Also, the shooter is dead.
  14. Tfg’s blood apparently clots super fast. Head wounds bleed a lot, maybe ears don’t:
  15. Every avenue to comment on tfg brush with assassinatioon have been disabled. Curious as to why.
  16. The woman graduated with the highest honors from Princeton, dumbass. Take your misogyny and fuck off.
  17. Stonekettle’s take is “what’s the plan:” Those who favor dumping Joe have questions to answer. https://www.stonekettle.com/2024/07/raggedy-man.html?m=1
  18. I know IANAL, but Sotomayor is, and fuck you if you find fault with my reasoning. Sotomayor: ” The Court effectively creates a law-free zone around the President, upsetting the status quo that has existed since the Founding. … When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.” Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”
  19. Don’t bother reading it, as the ruling no longer matters. Except for conferring absolute immunity on our monarch for official acts. Our monarch isn’t bound by any past or future SCOTUS blathering. Calvinball in the front yard should have garnered your attention. Edited to concur with a friend who suggested out monarch send some jack booted thugs into the formerly highest court and put a bag over the heads of those justices that voted in assent, losd them on a plane, fly them around for a few hours, then lock them in a windowless room until they plead for the chance to recind this decision. IMO, he is obligated to do something about it. Oath of office and all. Defend the Constitution,
  20. However you do it, you’re going to need a carpet cleaning service afterwards.
  21. Water, and the ability to flush it. Yep.
