progressivism and progress are not the same thing

ah right. that's why you guys are constantly in pitched battle against rhetorical norms to invent new terms and labels to define various groups that you find offensive to your universally offensive core values as a minority community of bronze-aged sycophants with delusions of maintaining normative cultural influence and political power. When the new enemy doesn't make any sense, define them another way. All the while, continue to fail at producing any real leaders, much less any useful platform for economic and social progress.

Holy shit, I haven't been on this forum for years because I was sick and tired of the shills, agents, and general stupidity around here, but seems like nothing has changed.

- acoustic forensic
- flight data
helicopters
- helicopter behind mandalay bay
- dead witnesses
some truth/some you can say "conspiracy theory"
- some truth/some you can say "conspiracy theory"
- this is fully conjecture, but give it your take.

You have your own thread about these videos so I removed the links and anyone can discuss them in that thread.

Lol
YouTube links and zero commentary about said videos. I'm guessing you left because you were shamed into leaving.

Like I said, shills, agents, and general stupidity.

You didn't even bother to look at any of the videos, even with a short description at the end. Yet, you chose attacking as your first response, how typical?

Shall I post a bunch of YouTube videos and expect you to watch them and give commentary about them with no idea as to what my point was in posting them?

We've got a lot of posters like you already posting here and they are more than useless. Feel free to leave anytime because if that's your idea of a quality post, you will be attacked a lot.

You inspired me to create a thread just for that purpose. But, I looked through this thread, and there is NOT ONE youtube link discussing the event. Mostly, just agents and shills and idiots arguing about gun control and just distractions. It's expected of your kind.

As expected you didn't address my point but it's apparent you understood it because you created a new thread and added more commentary to your post. Good boy!

As expected, you're being a good shill/agent. Usual tactics. You're not worth my time.

Yep, that right. He's been posting here for 17 years on hundreds of political topics, but he's really an agent or shill for some shadowy conspiracy. All this posting for the last 17 years was all a ruse for this one moment in time when he would come into this thread to express skepticism about your ever so important conspiracy theory.

Meh, 19.5K posts in 17 years isn't all that much. Barely over 1K posts per year, or about 3 per day. I think I'm posting more per day.

I don't know about you, but for the most part, my posting here takes the place of time spent playing video games or watching TV. At least we're discussing important issues here. I don't feel especially guilty about it.

attacking is only ok if firearms are involved, cmon, get with the times.
You probably agree with Eli Stokols of MSNBC then, he's pissed at President Trump because he didn't request the death penalty for the Las Vegas shooter the way he asked for it for the Islamic truck terrorist captured in New York. Eli claimed it was some sort of ethno-centric nationalism.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...h-penalty-for-already-dead-vegas-shooter.html

"
Wall Street Journal reporter and MSNBC contributor Eli Stokols is upset that President Trump called for the death penalty when discussing New York City terrorist Sayfullo Saipov but didn’t mention the death penalty when discussing the already-dead Las Vegas shooter.

“The unifying thread is sort of the broad politics of Donald Trump, the ethno-centric nationalism. He did not react this way when a white person shot dozens of people in Las Vegas… We need to give this guy the death penalty,” Eli Stokols told MSNBC host Nicole Wallace.

Wallace didn’t mention that the Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, is already dead."



Just when you think the typical leftist journalist and their supporters can't get worse, they pull it out their asses and prove us wrong.

It's not a conspiracy, it's incompetence and it's happened over and over and over.

TUCKER CARLSON: It is the deadliest one-man massacre in American history, yet already among the most forgotten. It has been just a month since Stephen Paddock killed 58 people in Las Vegas. For months we have been asking basic questions about what happened, most of which remain unanswered tonight.

What was Paddock's motive? How could police possibly allow his house to be burgled? Why was Paddock's computer hard drive missing, and why did it take us so long to learn it was missing? Why did security guard Jesus Campos travel to Mexico just days after the shooting, despite being a key witness? And why do authorities refuse to talk about that? Why have all of his media appearances been tightly managed by his employer MGM?

And more than anything, what is the actual timeline of this shooting? What happened and when did it happen, and why in the world is it still so hard to get a straight answer?

To those longstanding questions, we can add a few more: Why did we only learn today from the Clark County Sheriff that Paddock's girlfriend could be withholding important information in this case? If in fact, she knows more than she is saying, why isn't she being interviewed right now?
...
Consider the others: The FBI had Omar Mateen under surveillance for ten months, and yet somehow didn't hinder his planning or execution of the Pulse nightclub massacre. The FBI was also apparently aware of NYC killer Sayful Saipov, Ft. Hood shooter Nadal Hassan, Boston bomber Tamerland Tsarnaev, and a list of other killers -- but failed to stop any of their attacks. How come?

The FBI famously investigated Hillary Clinton's email server for more than a year, during which time, for some reason, the bureau gave immunity to several top aides for no obvious reason, and failed to tape record key interview. Why is that?

Speaking of emails, the FBI never examined the DNC's email server after it was supposedly hacked. Instead, they just accepted the claim of a private contractor employed by the Democratic Party that the hacking was the work of the Russian government. Why didn't one of the bureau's many tech teams conduct its own investigation of a matter this important and politically sensitive?

Meanwhile, in case after case, the FBI's supposedly incorruptible white collar division has leaked sensitive details of current investigations to the press. How does behavior like that restore public confidence in federal law enforcement?
It doesn't of course, and it shouldn't.

We have a right to be worried about the FBI. There is no more powerful federal agency in this country. They can read your email. They can root through your bank records. They can break down the front door of your house and arrest you in front of your children. Lying to them is a federal crime. We need to be absolutely certain the FBI is worthy of the power we give them.

What happened in Las Vegas is one of many reasons to wonder if they are.
