And the Cover Up has started

I’m providing a public service to those with no access (or who lack the intelligence to secure a government ID to what is happening outside of this board.

You should be thanking me for helping fellow Cougs!

I agree with you that there was severe incompetence on display in Pennsylvania. And although I have not watched the press conference, it sounds like a pathetic excuse for not having someone on the roof. People often say stupid things when they are making excuses.

All that said, there is always a desire to craft grand conspiracy theories about how these things happen with the implication that the "deep state" is trying to take out Trump. The fact that the dead shooter is a 20 year old nobody who was known to be a pathetic marksman really puts a hole in that conspiracy. There are probably millions of people that hate Trump that could have killed him instead of nicking his ear. If the secret service was really in on it, they could have held off another 3-4 seconds to allow the shooter more time to get more shots off.

There are questions to be answered and there is always a chance that there is something more sinister going on, but gross incompetence is far more likely than any conspiracy. And for the record....automatically saying "DEI" whenever a woman is involved is a very sexist way to go through life. Some people may say that it makes you kind of a bad person.

FWIW, there are a lot of people that say that if there is a conspiracy theory that should be taken seriously, it's that this was a false flag operation by Trump supporters to make a hero out of Trump. If that's the case...they're probably mad that the kid got as close as he did.

Absolutely, Flat. Incompetence is the MOST likely angle here.

After hundreds of trump rallies and (since Reagan) thousands of campaign appearances, how many shots have been taken at anyone seeking office? Assuredly, none of these SS agents have been involved in anything close to this circumstance.

But lazy-thinking folk will always look for the grand conspiracy - a conspiracy that would have likely involved hundreds of people. Occam's razor, folks... Occam's razor. Taihtsat

Hi loyal, hi flatland, there is a big wide world happening outside your small minds.

Foolish getting your news from Twitter. Taihtsat

A million views. 7,000 reposts. This report has been out an hour.

I think we’ve already established that there’s well over a million people who love some bat shit crazy. This is no surprise that Loomer gets that many views.

You’re missing the point. She is breaking stories with millions of views as a scoop. She and others are repeating this Routinely. Legacy media is dissolving.

Clearly, this is over your head.

Accuracy isn’t determined by repetition and number of views. If you make up a story and tell it 10,000 times to 10 million people, it doesn’t mean it actually happened.

So you linked a story from some far right loony with millions of followers that got a lot of views? If 10% of our population is far right believers....that's 36 million people. That post had 7.7 million views so that means that 98% of the country didn't care enough to look at it at that point in time. Congrats to that person for having a large influence over a small amount of people.

Legacy media is struggling right now because too many people only want to consume media that fits their biases. It's not that their coverage is terrible, it just isn't chanting your mantras and talking points so you yell, "Fake News!". To be fair, a big part of the problem is that the media can be guilty of filtering what they put out there for dramatic effect. I don't trust newspapers in particular because they go for drama rather than actual content...but I rarely see the mainstream media go full blown propaganda the way that your media choices do.

But then again, as usual, hypocrisy is the name of your game. Anything that doesn't align 100% with your viewpoint is fake and you'll yell about it being propaganda as you consume far right propaganda like a fat man chowing down on girl scout cookies.

“I can’t believe they’re comparing Trump to Hitler”. There’s no way Uber would have believed Hitlers propaganda machine 😂

Interesting that you link so prolifically to blatantly partisan, subjective and biased sources while rarely no one else here does so.

Folk from your slant deride the "looney left" and "libtards" and claim those "leftist" on this board are basically suckers for believing the MSM and how we're all spoon-fed and told what to think etc etc. Funny though that we don't point shit from decidedly partisan sources - like ever.

Getting your news from X subjects you to impulsive posts that contain only bits of actual news and are highly subject to deception and fakery. These people don't hold themselves to traditional standards of journalism like retractions and multiple sourcing leading one to become Uber-deceived. Taihtsat

This coming from someone who continually spews garbage rhetoric pushed by MSNBC CCN and the like. You did post something yesterday(?) that I happen to actually agree with, surprisingly. In regards to the residential housing market and large scale capital investment firms buying in bulk. One other trend I am seeing particularly here in the PNW are H1B Visa holders buying up multiple properties. I see it everyday in my line of work.

Feel free to note that I do not typically link to any websites like MSNBC or CNN or anything like that. I have a lot of opinions and I'll occasionally post a link, but it's rarely to a mainstream media site. I fall in the middle between the two extremes. I tend to be center-left on a lot of social issues and center-right on fiscal issues. I definitely do not agree with a lot of the more extreme social views of the left though.

That's in the ballpark of where I am too.

And now I'm going to say something that's going to make a couple of people's heads explode: I've been accused of being a socialist, and I won't discard any idea based on it being socialist. That's not a bad thing. Lots of people get all bent out of shape and immediately think that anything socialist is bad. I suspect that most of those people don't understand that socialism and communism are not the same thing. There are a lot of really good socialist ideas. There are socialist systems that work. And the US uses a number of programs that are socialist to their core, and 95% of the population would lose their damn minds if anyone tried to take them away.

Not into the hippy type. They don’t shave the places that should be shaved.

You don’t say.

Now if you’re intellectually capable to refute what she claims you should try and do so.

But you can’t, so you won’t but you’ll continue to hurl insults so you got that going for you!

Trump was denied secret service?

I don’t recall hurling any insults at all, for whatever that’s worth.

I haven’t really bothered to try to refute much of anything. There’s no point in trying to convince people of anything when they’ve already closed themselves off to anything that doesn’t support what they’ve already decided.

Socialize our oil companies so we can control the profit margins and dont ket the oil companies skew the supply side of the supply/demand curve. That way oil companies cant bend people over in times of crisis like covid and years since the shut down .

Aaah, one of my (many, sadly) ex GF's didn't shave her pits. Yeah I liked it. But she did shave down there, which made me feel like a pedophile since she was all of about 5'0.
