  1. He destroyed the 5G network that was controlling his mind. The irony is that it was a 4G network that told him to do it.

  2. It’s kind of sick that the dad put his son up to killing someone out for a jog. It doesn’t lessen his guilt, it doesn’t make him less of a racist or less of a thug, but damn—he’s going to spend the rest of his life in jail because his dad got him hyped up. What a family dynamic!

  3. The odds were in the company’s favor that the tornado would pass them by. How many times previously had there been a tornado threat and nothing happened? However, low probability isn’t zero probability. The company could have hedged its bets by building a shelter. And where it really messed up was threatening employees that wanted to leave. It’s one thing to say, “OK, punch out, you’re done for the day. See you tomorrow,” and it’s another thing to say, “If you leave, don’t bother coming back. We’ll mail you the check.” If this case gets before a jury, that’s going to hurt the company the most. The company essentially killed 8 people through negligence. (I wouldn’t say murdered, which is too strong a word.) I hope managers and decision-makers take note—if you decide to risk your employees’ lives, you might get away with it for a while—maybe a long while. But it might just catch up with you and then you’ll be that person that allows x number of people to die out of greed or ambition. At that point, you should probably become a politician.

  7. This is the new GOP m.o. When you don’t win, claim fraud without evidence. Evidence can always be manufactured later. Basically, you’re employing the tactics of a spoiled four year old denied candy. You’re an infant.

  8. They thought (or maybe even had been promised) that the military was going to join in, and that Trump would publicly and explicitly call for an insurrection. Say what you will about Trump, he’s much too slippery to give that sort of direct support. He works through innuendo and having others do things for him. It’s an indication of how delusional these folks are, and an indication of how slick the president’s middle men are.

  15.  @drooplug  Wouldn’t you say that all these generals and commanders getting killed is a symptom of the top down structure? The Russian NCOs and junior officers aren’t trained in decision making or problem solving skills, nor would they be allowed to make decisions or show initiative when problems arise. So it’s all SNAFU until the general gets there to sort things out, and . . . bang or boom, another general bites the dust.

  17. I think the problem was distinguishing a live round from a non-firable dummy round. Dummy rounds contain no powder, but they put a BB in the empty shell case to help identify them (you shake the round and can hear the BB rattle). Perhaps the 1st AD shook the entire pistol, heard the BBs rattle in two of the rounds and assumed the third round was also a dummy.

  19. Is “fame addiction” a fancy phrase for a childish demand for attention? Because that seems to be a common thread in these people: they are psychologically and morally at the level of a misbehaving four year old, and they have an infantile craving for attention.

  22.  @jennapuhl596  The Plan-icane and the Plan-demic have a lot in common. Both are created by the government using 5G networks and magnets, technology developed from investigations of wrecked alien spacecraft at Area 51. The purpose of both is to instill fear and create the conditions of a government takeover. The National Guard is already poised to invade Louisiana. Some of us rational people are not afraid of the government, aren’t fooled by their attempts to clear us off our land, and are capable of protecting ourselves—[CRASH]— Oh, my God, a piano just crashed through the roof. Those goddamn liberals are dropping pianos on us.

  26. The composition of the security council is fixed in the UN Charter, the founding document. This would be like changing the U.S. Constitution to prevent Donald Trump from being President. You might like the idea,but you’d unleash unwanted and unforeseen consequences. But I agree, Russia should not be on the UNSC.

  27. They will be. This sort of activity has to be permitted and planned. The potential crowd must be estimated to determine how many cops must be hired and if street closures will be necessary to accommodate the crowd. I understand this person has a following in the hundreds of thousands or millions. If the authorities want to discourage this sort of behavior, they should prosecute him criminally and file civil charges for any damage or injury that resulted.

  30.  @optimusprime4443  Don’t bring up 2016, or the snowflakes will start whining how we didn’t immediately bow down and worship their unAmerican Idol. They seem to not know that EVERY President faces disgruntled people whose candidate lost. Dems were unhappy about Regan, George HW Bush, and Bush. Republicans were unhappy about Clinton and Obama. All of these presidents sought to unite us after their elections, while maintaining the wisdom that they couldn’t please everyone all the time. But the Trumper snowflakes are still bent out of shape that we didn’t all rush out to kiss the ass of the most divisive President we’ve seen in decades. (There’s been no one as divisive in my lifetime, anyway.) FWIW, I voted for Reagan, George HW, Dole, George W, Obama, and I held my nose and voted for Hillary. And hell yes, I voted for Biden.

  32. @Poul Gin You wish. Putin has pissed Xi off with this stupid and useless aggression. Russia has become that friend that China doesn’t want to be seen with in public, because Russia’s actions embarrass all her friends. Putin’s aggression has had the effect of putting a focus on China and her territorial ambitions. Why would Xi want that? He doesn’t. He wants to continue building the Chinese economy while slowly and surely extending China’s influence and territory.

  38. You realize they’re coming after the 1st amendment, too. First they will start regulating and policing certain words, like “ironic” or “literally”. Soon, they are going to force us to use pronounce we don’t want, such as then, which, or whom. Pretty soon we won’t be able to shout theater in a crowded firehouse.

  39.  @tracewallace23  The Secret Service Agents themselves didn’t even talk to the press. It was a “source close to the agents”. The two agents have not responded to questions from the press.

  40. The testimony about the ex President’s behavior wasn’t completely shocking because we already had an idea about his lack of decorum, his temper, and overweening egoism. However, what we didn’t know about was his lack of self control, his inability to control his urges and regulate his behavior. Before the testimony, I might have thought that “spoiled petulant child” was true figuratively. His behavior and thinking has always been like a misbehaving child of four years of age. It was his motivating spirit. But it IS a little shocking to learn it was literally true, that his tantrums were literally tantrums and not just yelling at his subordinates. If it was just yelling and slamming doors, that would be one thing. Not acceptable, but within the realm of a misbehaving ADULT. But the dish throwing, the grabbing at the steering wheel while someone was driving is different. It’s the behavior someone with less self control than a toddler that needs a nap. No wonder the Pentagon’s Chief of Staff called the various commanders wrt to the nukes and delaying possible orders to attack other countries. When I heard about that, I thought, “that sounds like a little much, possibly erring on the side of caution”.

  41.  @oneeyedking7465  almost all those videos are fake, and I’ll tell you why. The Republicans already had observers at those sites. Random Republicans can’t just show up and demand entrance. Observers are preapproved by their respective parties, and lists with their names are sent to the counting centers. There has been ONE case that I know of where someone who should have been permitted entrance wasn’t, and that was quickly rectified by the court. It’s not proof of fraud. The second case of which I am aware is an observer wanted to move closer to poll workers. When they weren’t allowed to do so, they sued in court (and caused a delay in counting). All this so the observer could watch from six feet rather than ten feet.

  46. This doesn’t apply in a democracy, since we are the government and hold power over the government. The majority rules and there are safeguards to protect the rights of those not in the majority (and the rights of everyone). If you fear the government, or want it to fear you, maybe something is wrong with you.

  52. The coach is struggling to understand how his athlete became radicalized, hoping that he can prevent radicalization in other athletes he coaches or will coach. If you don’t think that people can learn from each other or be positive influences on others, or take in that positive influence, I don’t know what to tell you. A person’s character doesn’t get set in stone when they turn 18 unless there is something very wrong with them. As far as whether the athlete is really a “good person underneath it all”, he will have plenty of time to demonstrate that. If he’s very lucky, people in this life like this coach will deprogram him from whatever delusions he latched onto while being part of that cult. I think you and I agree that there should be consequences for crimes, and the Capitol Hill rioters must face those consequences. Many of these criminals are irredeemable. If redemption is possible for any, that’s on them to put in the work and seek mental help. But there are millions of Americans that didn’t participate in these crimes, but would have. Or they sympathize with the delusional cause. They are members of a cult. So I’m sort of with the coach on this one. We must understand and figure out a way to bring these people out of the cult before they get involved in something as heinous and stupid as the Capitol Riot.

  55. This is a lie. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Miley’s sworn testimony is the exact opposite of your claim. Sec Def Chris Miller’s testimony contradicts your claim. In fact, Trump had JUST fired SecDef Esper and replaced him with Chris Miller. On January 3rd, Trump ordered Miller to make sure the demonstrators would be PROTECTED. On January 4th, Miller made the unusual order that the National Guard QRF (Quick Reaction Force) couldn’t be deployed without orders going through the chain of command, i.e., through him. Nor could they deploy with riot gear. They couldn’t even respond to any emergency carrying weapons, per his orders. He authorized a small force of NG that were assigned to directing traffic in the DC area, with orders that they couldn’t be redeployed without his permission. I don’t think this is a case of your being misinformed, because this information is publicly available, and the source is Miller himself. This is a case of you lying, of intentionally trying to deceive people with disinformation.

  58. @Jack Burton I don’t think it’s silly, it’s just not cut and dried. There are no requirements to be an actor; anyone can be one without training or qualifications. That said, it’s incumbent for the people in charge to make sure actors (or any worker) has the skills to do their job safely. If a scene calls for an actor on a horse, you want to be sure the actor knows how to ride a horse. Failing this is begging for accidents to occur. As I mentioned above, that goes for workers—those in charge of hiring the workers must insure that their workers have the skills and competency to do their jobs safely. If this is too great a burden, they should hire UNION workers. The various locals do have training programs to ensure their member workers understand safety and the safety rules that govern the set. It’s these low budget productions that want to save a penny by not hiring union that create these problems—and it’s no surprise that the same productions are sloppy and unsafe in other ways.

Don’t discount that Loeffler and Perdue were weak candidates, and that the state Dems put in a massive grassroots effort over the past year to even get to a close election. What gives your suggestion legs is that both sides framed this as being about control of the Senate.

  70.  @killuazoldyck5553  1st Guards in Moscow stays in Moscow to protect Putin. They’re not going anywhere. Similar with other well equipped elite units: they’re pinned down on the border with Poland. Many other less capable units are unavailable because they’re garrison forces to prevent uprisings in other parts of the Russian Federation. The Russian military has to be huge because they are the enforcers of an authoritarian police state.

  71.  @Coop1250 3 indicts so far, this year, but it’s actually a total of 78 charges for all of these criminal indictments. There’s also at least one civil suit for fraud ongoing (with the trial set for early next year). Not that Trump’s legal problems really have anything to do with this jackpot. But still, 78 charges so far with more on the way! 😂

  74.  @Erin-Thor  I’ve always believed that many Democratic politicians were, if not criminal, ethically challenged. They were not above lying when it suited them. After the past four years, they cannot hold a candle to the venality, criminality, and dishonesty of the GOP. Dems seem like choirboys (or girls) in comparison. Dems might spin the truth or lie to save their skins, but Republicans lie as a matter of course, as naturally as they breath. It’s almost as if their whole purpose and agenda is to lie—lying shamelessly is the point of having political power. So, yeah. This conservative voter will take a flawed Democratic Party over a fascist GOP. Even if one believes both parties are equally corrupt, there is an important difference. The GOP is anti-Democracy, not just anti-Democratic Party. For all its warts and defects, the Democratic Party still supports American Democracy. I’m not going to register as a Democrat. But I cannot vote for a GOP candidate so long as the National Leadership is trying to tear down democracy.

  75.  @trekkienzl2862  It’s the thief crying foul when you put a stronger lock on your door. In Putin-logic, preparing your defense is an act of aggression and attacking is an act of defense.

  77. Criminal charges are definitely possible, even if the intent of the streamer was “altruistic” or benign (it wasn’t). The streamer assembled the crowd when he announced the give away. Let’s be clear that the motivation for such giveaways is self-promotion. He is trying to increase his audience and increase his ad revenue. Such gatherings require permits, hiring cops, etc. If this was unpermitted or (worse) if he had been refused a permit, he will also be liable for damages and injuries. If the authorities want to stop these things, they will want to prosecute the streamer to the maximum extent (followed by civil charges). When the instigators are criminally and financially punished, there will be fewer incentives for such harebrained schemes.

If you feel very strongly about it, you can help organize others to vote out your representative. This also serves for removing elected representatives for other reasons, any reason at all. Maybe what you really want is campaign finance reform, which advantages incumbents in fundraising.

  84.  @swamp365  OK, I started at Wikipedia, and then did some outside reading. Brock is not going to be subject to UCMJ because he retired from the reserve, not active duty. Retired active duty service members is something confusing me. Even though they are recallable, retirement pay is not considered an retainer that keeps their status active. It’s deferred pay for work done pre separation. Speaking of separation, there’s some wiggle room, but afaict, not months or years. Not entirely sure here, but I think this applies to noncoms. Active duty retired Commissioned officers are still subject UCMJ?

This was a person talking about someone with whom he had a close personal relationship, a person whose life had fallen apart prior to his being radicalized. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This is a person who is blaming himself, or at least searching for what he did wrong or could have done better for the athlete. It’s clear he’s horrified by the Capitol Riot, more so because he was the coach of Keller. I don’t know if that is stunning sympathy. It seems like ordinary type sympathy, when someone you were close to does something stupid and destructive and you wonder if you could have prevented it.

  98. If the economy was your most important issue, you’d understand that the economy can’t begin to recover until the pandemic is controlled. If the Trump administration had taken decisive action from the start, we might already be at that point (and Trump would be winning). Testing, contact tracing, coordinated acquisition of PPE, social distancing, and ongoing stimulus and economic support needed to happen starting in March. Instead, the President hindered states efforts to control the pandemic, discouraged Americans from taking safety precautions, and pushed quack cures. He’s attacked and undermined his own health experts. If you’re primarily concerned about the economy, it would be quite puzzling if you still supported Trump’s reelection. Trump still lacks a plan, still engages in irresponsible behavior that worsens the pandemic, and there is no sign that he will change his approach. If you’re a business owner, a vote for Trump is a vote for economic suicide.

  100. If you don’t like that your elected representative has been in office too long, there are various legal and non-violent remedies available to you. However, most require getting your ass off the sofa and making an effort. Trying to remove an elected politician with violence isn’t just unAmerican and antiDemocracy, it’s the lazy bum’s shortcut. That’s the one thing to keep in mind about fascist and their supporters: they are the laziest bums in the world.

  116. This is one of the lamest conspiracy theory lies I’ve come across. Are you that bad a liar or are you truly that delusional?

  117. @John Hazaroth The testimony from Trump’s brand new Sec Def Chris Miller is that on January 4th, he ordered that the NG Quick Reaction Force or any other units not be deployed without orders from the Chain of Command, i.e., either he or Trump. He also issued orders that no National Guardsmen be issued riot gear nor weapons. He testified that he issued these orders because on January 3rd, Trump ordered him to “do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators" on January 6th. This is unusual because the SOP is for local commanders to have the authority to deploy the QUICK Reaction Force. That’s why it’s quick, to respond to emergencies QUICKLY.

  118. @Gigi Ivy OK Ivan. Nice attempt at deflection.

  119. It’s called contributory negligence. The prop weapon house sold her what was essentially a defective product. Yes, the armorer is responsible for what she loads into a firearm. But the vendor is also responsible for providing the product as advertised. If the vendor failed in this duty, they share responsibility with the armorer. That said, I think it will be difficult for Gutierrez to prove the live bullet came from the vendor. It will not be difficult for the vendor to introduce doubt that Gutierrez was professionally sloppy, didn’t maintain access control to the weapons and blank ammo, and wasn’t at her post during the shooting.

  120. It’s not known, it’s rumored. I’d stick with information released by the local authorities for known facts. Everything else is different people recounting what they remember. Some of those people have identified themselves, some are eye witnesses. Some of the rumors (such as the one you’re relating) seem to be hearsay.

  121. Honestly, I’d rather they were exiled than they stay on our soil, even in prison. As that’s not possible, let’s send them to one of the many uninhabited islands in the North Pacific. Let their families come live with them, let this entire cult relocate there if they want. Call the island “Area Q special autonomous zone” and let them live by their own fascist values. They can make a living for themselves by installing video cameras and turning the whole penal colony experience into a reality show.

  123. Brown bear? Black bear? Polar bear? Why won’t the media give us a full description of the bear?

  129. Forensic experts can determine a lot of information from a small amount of physical evidence. For example, did you know that, even before the DNA identification, investigators had determined that the bomber’s eyes were blue? Yup. One eye blew towards the north, the other eye blew to the south.

  130. Storm chasers shoot the video and sell it to newsrooms. You can see the raw video right here on YouTube, usually watermarked “not for broadcast” to make the stations pay for it. The storm chasers shoot hours and hours of video so you can watch 2 minutes of the worst of the hurricane.

  136. This is the interim government. It’s naive to think that they’d try to govern with a consensus right out the gate.

  137. He destroyed the 5G network that was controlling his mind. The irony is that it was a 4G network that told him to do it.

  139. But it’s not the majority of the party that elects the Speaker, it’s the entire body of the House, including Democrats.

  140. Who is your congressperson? When was the last time you communicated with their office? If you’re doing nothing to hold your own representative accountable, don’t talk about holding “all of congress” accountable. Making loud demands on YouTube is masturbation. It might feel good to do it, maybe it’s thrilling when your friends see you do it, but you’re not really accomplishing anything.

  141. When does the dry season start? Putin has time against him, so maybe can’t wait for dryer conditions. Ukrainians can wait or not wait. It’s their country and they’re not going anywhere.

  142. I think we all saw a police officer pointing a gun upstairs, where there were children. Why was that necessary?

  143. This. He’s not excusing his former athlete. I think this serves as a useful contrast, too. The swimmer was suffering from mental illness before being sucked into a cult of madness. The infantile rich yuppies, on the other hand, ran toward it and embraced it. They willfully became mentally ill. Which is . . . crazy?

  144.  @andrewkennedy6135  If it comes down to a war of attrition, that goes to Ukraine, hands down. The Ukrainians would keep fighting, even with rocks and sticks. Even if Russia conscripts a million more soldiers, they can’t control and pacify Ukraine with an attrition strategy.

  145. It’s the armorer, not the company, that is suing the vendor. Did you watch the video?

  146.  @AverageJoe483 Read the indictment and have someone explain the charges. They’re not accusing Trump of causing the January 6th violence from his speech that day. They’re avoiding that because they can get him without litigating free speech. The Trump attorneys claiming it’s a free speech issue are lying. That’s their only defense, but it’s a defense for a crime that hasn’t been charged.

  147. Senator McCain showed humility, grace, love of country, and nobility when he conceded. As crushing as the defeat must have been, he rose to the occasion, and elevated all of us with him. Truly noble. Trump wants to drag us all down with him.

  148. A defense attorney in a criminal case has to ask the judge for permission to quit and provide justification. I guess being a witness against your own client is sufficient reason. 😅 Oddly, one of the attorneys, Evan Corcoran, is withdrawing from the case but continues to work for Trump in one of the other cases. 😂

  151. Let’s be charitable, folks. Lack of fan adulation and attention is just as debilitating as COVID to a person like Trump. If Trump doesn’t get enough attention, he could shrivel up and die, making this joyride a “medical necessity”.

  152. What acclaimed director said this? I doubt any director would say this, because it’s not true. Perhaps you mean the assistant director, because that person is responsible for all moment to moment operations on the set, including set safety.

  153. But why did he have to desecrate the flag like a goddamn hippy, when he was saving dogs? He was using a flag as poncho or shirt or something. It must be part of the lie these people tell themselves about who they are.

  155.  @BillyTheKidder  It’s a half of a day’s drive to the Mexican border. It’s not terribly difficult to just drive past the aduana and your documents won’t get checked until you hit an army check point about 50-100 miles inside the border. If they’ve been planning and preparing, it wouldn’t be hard to get a falsified visa that would satisfy the checkpoint . . . If they don’t wave you through. Another half day and you’re in Mexico City, where you can get lost in an ocean of people. One thing I don’t get though. Did this deputy know that this guy isn’t John Hamm?

  158. The Russians still haven’t encircled Kyiv?
    1
  159. Our borders are secure. Any enemy country that tries to attack us either has to cross an ocean or attack Mexico or Canada first. You really can’t get more secure than that. If you’re referring to immigrants and refugees, then you have a bone to pick with House Republicans and Donald Trump. They scuttled a bill that would have imposed tighter controls on the border. Apparently the problem on the border is less important than having the border as a campaign issue. But at any rate, anyone calling the border problems an invasion is either lying to scare you or is frightened by their own shadow.

  160.  @bleedsmp4 America First means strong defense, strong foreign policy, and helping friends and allies when they are in trouble. If you hide from problems behind your “America First” isolationist banner, the problems won’t go away. I can’t believe what cowards these MAGA folks are, so quick to run away and hide their faces from the world.

  161. Wouldn’t it be crazy if Belarus joined Ukraine? It would change everything. The troops attempting to encircle Kyiv would be themselves encircled.

  162. Russian oil company executives and their families are being murdered. I guess the FSB is sending a message to the Oligarchs?

  163. Price of gasoline is low rn because demand for gasoline is down. Credit Trump, the pandemic, or both. If gas prices go up, it means that the economy is recovering.

  172.  @swamp365  I thought that was only true for the commissioned officer, not for non-coms and below. I guess this deserves a visit to Wikipedia, at least.

  173.  @joelbusald6416  I hope I’m wrong on this, but because Brock is retired from the Reserve, he’s not under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ. At least from my reading up on this topic. If he was retired from Active Duty, he would be subject to UCMJ. I’m not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

  177. I’m glad they’re also demanding that Hamas release the hostages. They’re doing that, right?

  178. Do you know what’s even more “in porten”? Grammar and spelling. You wouldn’t own a gun without taking the time to learn how to use it, would you? Of course not. It’s the same deal with your words. Learn how to use them and to spell them correctly. Start with punctuation and work your way upwards gradually.

  179. They weren’t white supremacists. The membership was mixed race. Is the NRA ignoring this or are they offering words of support for this group?

  180.  @jkrogs1843  I think it’s wonderful how you Trumpies have normalized treason to the point where you think patriotism and upholding an oath to the constitution is “embarrassing”.

  187. Nothing really stops them from working with Democrats. They only need a half dozen moderate democrats. The reason that they don’t is that they lack the intestinal forward to defy the extremists in their party. They don’t know how to govern themselves.

  188. From the body cam footage released, I don’t think the SLC cops can be faulted, but you are correct. All the body cam footage needs to be reviewed and the investigation completed.

  194.  @tophatv2902  They haven’t taken Kiev yet. They haven’t been able to surround it. But it sure seems like Putin has given up on the idea of conquering Ukraine and just wants to destroy it.
