I am so tired of this idiocracy and the mental illness being inflicted on "conservatives". Easily discredited doesn't mean anything when the followers have already drank the Kool-aid. They just keep saying "Give me some more!"

A couple of my truly good life long friends use right wing media and they have a lot of right wing friends and are in the social media echo chamber. They spout lies and they don't want to listen until you hit them with a hard fact and that only temporarily puts them off keel. It's brainwashing.

Prime example and frustrating conversation from prior to Pretti's execution: I was talking about Minnesota with one of them. And he was spouting all the right wing nonsense about Good. "She was a paid protestor from Colorado, what was she doing there? How can she afford to be there is she isn't being paid?" I then just went and got into that with him. I hit him with his information was all lies. First She was originally from Colorado but lived in that neighborhood. I then said she just dropped her kids off at school, it was basically outside her house and so on. "I didn't know all that." Well no shit you didn't because you are in the information cesspool. Then as soon as he digests that "She still drove at him. I know what it's like to have to make split second decisions." And I said a "normal person" in a volatile situation and not a mouth breathing cromagnon would have got out of the way. He could see her moving, he could see her turning the wheel and he could see her shifting while looking at the moron she was talking to. And to top it all of a Trained Law Enforcement Officer wouldn't have been there in the first place - not even a well trained one, just a trained one. He didn't like that for some reason.

Then yesterday I am talking on the phone with someone else I knew was brainwashed but I hear his radio in the background talking about how 80% of Somalis are autistic. I mean where do they get this stuff? Why would anyone even listen to such obvious BS?

#234 100% Alex:

The Donnerboy Rule:

I need two (2) independent sources** from any Trump sycophant for any 'proof' they offer before it is even considered, much less replied to.
**Any source that contains "Trump's FBI said...", or "The DOJ announced..." or "The White House proclaimed..." - or any iteration thereof - will immediately be considered not an independent source. - Try again.

Ah, finally figured out the story on this liar

Yes, he was LEO, but not for 37 years. Nope.

He became an LEO, but it was more than 37 years ago.

But that lasted only a few years.

Explains much about Imshakinitboss.

#194 Flag: Continues to lie even when there's proof of his lies for all thinking people to see - and judge - for themselves

Actually it shows exactly the disposition of the gun, when it was pulled from Pretti's back waistband, and when the first shot is heard. So it totally disproves your version.

Thinking people can see the truth.

Liars never will.

#181 Flag: Doesn't understand honesty and integrity; results to name calling because he cannot disprove the truth - frame-by-frame

Your turn liar.

You know you cannot help yourself.

Like most liars, zero self-control.

**As always, grateful to disprove your lies

#167 Flag: Expects people to believe a grainy, Reddit video over a clear, frame-by-frame video that everyone else understands:

Back to you, lying sweetheart.

#167 Flag: Then it should be easy to debunk, frame-by-frame, right ? ? ? ?

Video: Reveals Flawed, Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti

A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a man who didn't pose a threat.

#155 | #159 Flag: Refuses to face the truth so, naturally, tries to change the subject
