Yup.







Remember how you shamefully refused to update the topic title about "MAGA trifecta" or whatever?

Such a purveyor of truth, you are.
Based on the information I had at the time yes I did refuse to change the title. If you bothered to read further I conceded to changing reports.

Meanwhile you have people like Trump who make up shit out of nothing and promote it...birtherism.

Central Park 5 were exonerated by DNA evidence yet Trump still refused to apologize to them.

Didn't you get the talking points? That only applies to Democrats.....Republicans are free to lie, cheat, steal without a shred of condemnation or consequence or self-reflection or honesty or ethics or morality.

- Right? The crazy thing now is all the radicalized old people.

Young people have always been disproportionately lured to bad ideas.


I suspect old people have just as many bad ideas, they just lack the energy to act on them. At least insofar as it involves any exertion beyond ticking a box on a ballot.

Though, yeah, bad ideas plus energy can be a disastrous combination.

I'd say old folks have more bad ideas as they(we) are set in their ways and are loath to change what they are used to.

A young female has a written plan for mass murder in her school notebook, which is found by other students in a casual search of her property, and leads to her arrest. None of you find that story just a little odd?

Go question the police. They are the source of this story.

These days...not really, sadly.

What's the odd part, though?

Do you ever bother to get details correct?

"Police said they were able to stop the attack after the girl mentioned her plans to her fellow Gainesville High School students.

Students told school administrators that the girl had a notebook containing "detailed plans to commit murder." Administrators notified school resource officers of the plan on Friday and opened an investigation.

They verified the threat and turned the investigation over to Gainesville police."

What? You expect someone who is so unaware of the U.S.'s history that he cannot fathom why DA's in Mississippi would refuse to sit black jurors for decades to look for facts? LOL!!!!

And before anyone cries that's a personal attack, which it isn't, I was just paraphrasing Greenman's own post in the MS/DA thread:

I guess.
It's just insane to me that of all the people involved, not a single one, or a defence attorney, said "wait a sec...".


He is demonstrating here either a willful ignorance or is truly completely ignorant through lack of education, reading, or any other vehicle by which one would understand the history of the South, Jim Crow, and the South's refusal to obliterate vestiges of the Jim Crow era.

I'm more skeptical than most, but what I find really odd are the folks who imply conspiracy when the facts don't support it. See the last quote in my sig.

What are you getting at with this?

Coincidentally I was just reading about Chris Morris's recent film (the reviews aren't particularly positive), which is apparently based on real life cases of dubious FBI operations to catch 'terrorists'. Seems to me that cases like Liberty City and Newborough are about FBI attempts to meet performance targets and make their metrics look good. It seems if they can't find any terrorists they manufacture them themselves, then arrest them. But are you suggesting this happens with right-wing racist terror? As far as I can see they do it exclusively with Muslim-related terror plots (though some of those arrested in those cases were not even Muslims).

(reading about such cases makes it tricky to get onboard with what seems to be the Trump-era orthodoxy that the FBI are now the good guys, who will save the world from Trumpery - their track-record is not great)
