  1. Sadly, they were already this way before the pandemic. Like toddlers in adult bodies.

  2. 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.

  4. This is a different topic that has nothing to do with the January 6th Committee hearings. You’re trying to deflect the conversation with your BS “Men’s Rights” comparisons with divorce.

  5. 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.

  6.  @beebuzz959  yes, the larger question is if this was politically motivated or was it a garden variety home invasion or burglary.

  8. @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.

  9. In this thread: a cryptocurrency nut enamored of conspiracy theories has a conversation with himself using two of his finger puppet accounts. Surprise twist: he agrees with everything he is saying.

  10.  @8gomerpyle22  But the Afghanistan government was sheltering the mastermind, Bin Laden, and wouldn’t give him up.

  12. It’s multiple factors, including your suggestion that it’s disgust with McConnell and the Senate Majority. 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.

  13. Depends on the altitude and attitude of the plane. Too low and parachutes don’t have time to deploy.

  16.  @yo2trader539  That’s more ballistic missiles and jet launched cruise missiles. For regular artillery, they have a range of 10-12 miles, so what you’re saying is possible, but is too far away for most of the battleground.

  19. I think he has it, but given his constant lying, this is a real possibility. He can use this as an excuse not to debate and he has an excuse when he loses the election.

  20.  @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.

  21.  @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! 😂

  22.  @robschannel4512 It’s the DA that will make that determination if a crime occurred and whether to prosecute. I’m pretty certain there’s a basis for a criminal prosecution here.

  23. That’s not the United States that is banning books. It’s local school districts that are removing the books from curriculums. It’s shitty, but it’s nowhere near as terrible as the murder of children by Russia’s military.

  24.  @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.

  25.  @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. I think the reason these Russian Trolls keep working is because (using Putin-logic) getting paid in worthless rubles will make them rich.

  26. Lol, no, you’re thinking of the fat slob drug addict that was mayor of some city in Canada. Rob something. No, this is Chris Christie, the most powerful criminal overlord in Mos Eisely.

  27. 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.

  28. Their IQ? It’s half of a normal IQ. So it’s just Q.

  29. That’s what voting is supposed to be for. If you feel your elected official has served too long, you vote against an opponent. 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.

  34.  @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?

  36. Does this have anything in particular with the video, or are you praying in public? Maybe you can find the scripture to quote what Jesus said about showing off your faith as a public spectacle? That’d be real Christian of you.

  44. 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.

  45. Would you prefer the term non-white? “People of Color” refers to people born with more skin pigmentation than caucasians such as yourself.

  46. Can you imagine that if you murdered someone in the course your committing a crime that you could claim self-defense? A mugger could kill a person and then say they felt threatened, and go free.

  48. 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.

  49.  @R9000S  Sullivan isn’t a BLM activist. He’s expressed sympathy for antifa, but it’s unclear if he’s ever participated in any of their criminal bullshit. It’s most accurate to call him a leftist anti-government radical that eagerly joined a group of radical right anti-government terrorists. But let’s give the right wing apologists their due. There was one leftist out of hundreds. Oooooh!

  50. 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.
