That wasn’t the joke I was making though. My joke was that Trump was considering making a serial rapists his VP pick. I don’t disagree with the point you’re making I’m just confused as to why you think it’s relevant.

? I understand not liking the joke but idk where that comment comes from lol

Exactly, she can’t really take a bold stance while holding a position cus her stance is toothless. It would be easy fodder to just say “than why aren’t you doing something?” When she actually can’t do anything. Even if/when she has executive authority over it, it’s potentially counter-productive for potential peace talks. If you’re able to present a plan where both parties feel like they have a victory, it’s a harder sell if you’ve already “picked a favorite” before talks happened.

I think it’s the difference between politics and governing. Being the adult in the room is important and I think the posture Kamala is taking makes me optimistic that she has the appropriate priorities. Which will evolve into political wins, when contrasted with Trump. I hope these winks to the left are done in good faith though and not a hollow effort to galvanize the base.

The guy who played Hyde is a serial rapist. He was in the running for Trumps VP.

1000% agree. I’m not stoked about, most likely, not voting in a dem primary for 8 years. Harris wouldn’t be my first choice but I don’t wanna deflate the hype train at all. Hoping for a super majority in congress, that would be the big win. Really hope true progressives can accomplish as much as possible with that. Last time it happened for dems we got the ACA, that should be the minimum benchmark.

HARRIS/ANONYMOUS GENERIC WHITE GUY 2024!

“I don’t think transsexuals should be discriminated against, expect medical discrimination. Cus conspiracy theories.”

Piracy bro lol there’s apples and oranges but that’s skateboards and dinosaurs.

Even with your point being valid there’s tremendous value for society for making somethings as hard as possible.

There are insurance/registration issues that can address that. Of course there endless possible hypotheticals. I’m personally in favor of some sort of “drivers license” equivalent for guns.

But a 21 year old age limit almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde.

Valid, I’m sure. Hinkley was the last that made anytype of major news, unless I’m mistaken.

There is so much that is unknown. Everything about his true motives will, likely, be speculation forever. But it’s best to let the FBI be the one that does the information reveal.

This kid was 20 though. He might have had psychosis. Last presidential assassination attempt was Hinkley. This is around the age things like schizophrenia start to present themselves IIRC. This might have been a suicide by cop type situation and he wanted to be famous in the process? Who the hell knows.

What if we had a law that you had to be 21 to buy guns though? That’s in line with “common sense” gun control. I’ve heard Obama say that phrase countless times since Sandy Hook. It could have made this a little different, maybe? It almost certainly would have prevented Uvalde. This is political violence, it’s horrible, I think this will help Trump win. Any left leaning person with half a brain can see that imo. This is also gun violence though. Gun control has to part of the answer to this. Remember who the Brady Bill was named after.

A judge in Tennessee is the one preventing the release of this manifesto. Media outlets are the ones trying to obtain it. Try again.

Ask a question then reply telling me I’m wrong? Whatever doofus.

The Buffalo shooter also livestreamed part of his shooting on twitch, with a swastika on his weapon. The media getting information is significantly different than police releasing information. Assuming media orginaztions are in a conspiracy to push a narrative and not just squeezing every dime they can out of these tragedies is goofy. And I’m writing some of their names to demonstrate that my knowledge of these crime is a little beyond average.

I’d suggest you pull your head out of your ass.

1. It’s becoming less and less common. Stephen Paddocks motives weren’t released til 3 years or so later. If the Uvalde shooter had one it wasn’t released. Anything known about the Newtown shooter was found by journalists way later. The rest happen when the killer is still alive.

2. This is the only case that I know of where the killers writings are under control of the victims families.

You’ve been spending hours pretending that there is a scenario where the murder of children can be rationalized into a logical motive. They. Can. Not.

Making their manifesto increases their celebrity, which is a bad thing. Because spree killers want to be famous. This is 101 of the profile of these type of killers. You’re too invested in the culture war around this to see the occoms razor.

Low energy. I was saying you were assuming this ruling had something to do with a christo-facist agenda, numbnuts

There’s way to small of a sample size for non-white cis male shooters for you to justify that statement. What was Nicolas Cruzes motivation? Or James Holmes? Or charles Whittmans? They’re just violent psychopaths. Attaching a logical motivation to the acts of violent psychopaths is a fools errand, regardless of the identity.

Even the bullied trope comes from the Columbine shooters and they were not bullied, they were bullies. The saturation of media coverage led to presumptions of their motives. The public making those diagnoses is harmful and increases the celebrity of the killers which will motivate the next one.

That’s not a presumption though, or even speculation. Was the shooter bullied by kids they killed? No, again, that’s speculation though. Even if they were bullied, it’s misplaced anger and an inability to cope with their own issues. Releasing the manifesto would validate their martyrdom.

Assuming this ruling has anything to do with a christo-facist agenda is the most egregious and, likely, wrong presumption anyone is making. If I’m defending the christo-facist you are defending the motives of a, literal, mass murder of children.
