"BJ projecting about what he thinks Springsteen 'would be doing'"

This is a weird avoidance strategy thing that some people do. MadBomber does it too.
They always invoke hypotheticals instead of simply addressing reality.

but you could count them on one hand.

Okay, I'll ask.
What's the other hand doing? (:

NATO would fall apart without the U.S.
#23 | Posted by boaz

Why do you want NATO to fall apart, is the thing we can't understand.
You don't think NATO represents Jack Nicholson's character guarding that Wall, in A Few Good Men?

"where is the video that shows the gun didn't discharge?"

Your reasoning skills should inform you that if such a video existed, Republicans would have already bukkaked it.

"I do feel that the majority of the moderates in the country feel that the rights policies have become much more regressive and that the litmus test used by the right has become more extreme."

^
This is what you didn't say. Because, while true, it doesn't play nice with your "the left is going off the deep end" narrative that conservative media has been feeding you for thirty years.

"Wild times when people start referencing comically corrupt implementations of gun control"

Yeah. You can thank Republicans and Bruen for that.

But you won't. Accountability is another thing you aren't very good at.

"When you research the history of it the enforcement was highly selective and political."

That's the whole point.
That's what Republicans want.
You're good at some things, but playing dumb isn't one of them.

They tried to arrest Pretti"

What evidence do you have that there was even an attempted arrest?

Ice has limited jurisdiction.

In what capacity?

ICE isn't even bound by the Fourth Amendment, according to their own internal secret memo.

ICE has detained hundreds of citizens mostly a nonviolent protesters, who have been released with no charges filed. Are those arrests within their limited jurisdiction?

"The ICE Twitter page is rife with them showing pictures of illegals that had been released onto the streets"

How did ICE find these people from 2003-2025 without killing citizens?

You keep pretending nothing has changed.

Dead civilian who weren't any threat killed by ICE illegally according to you, yet nothing has changed.

"It is not telling ice they have an illegal alien in custody"

Immigration status is not a concern for Minnesota.

You no longer believe in states rights, but it's more accurate to say you never believed in states rights.

Sir, you lied when you swore your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

"find the criminal illegals out on the street"

Show us the criminal history of the people ICE is detaining.

Three out of four have no criminal record.

So, you're lying again.

"But an ad caused by a faulty gun"

Got any official reporting supporting your "accidental" claim and your "faulty gun" claim?

Furthermore, the only weapons that discharged belonged to ICE agents.

so
Shot Fired from the agent
and
Accidental discharge
are the same thing?

Replace all your instances of "Accidental Discharge" with "Shot Fired By The Agent" and see if they still sound good to you.

A slower death filled with tragedy and humiliation is not better

Okay, that's a bit extreme though.
Not everyone who drinks beer and wine dies a tragic, humiliated alcoholic.

"Wine was much safer and healthier to drink than most water in those days, period."

Yeah this was kind of the first step towards sanitation, without realizing it at the time.
Unfortunately the next step took dozens of centuries, almost long enough for us to invent the microscope and actually see bacteria.
The alcohol in wine and beer kills off pathogens.
Or if it doesn't, it becomes foul and you knew not to drink it.

He was the RIO or whatever, before I offend any Naval Aviators who might be offended.

Q: How can you tell if a man is a pilot?

A: He'll tell you.

"Ice is there to detain people in the country illegally."

Oh so you're just going to completely deny that there's been a massive increase in violence by ICE as they carry out this mission.

You won't talk about the broken windows, the citizens being taken and released, all of that is not part of what ICE is there to do, it just kinda... somehow... keeps happening.

"firearm go off as the officer removed it"

In normal English, the ICE agent fired the gun as he was trying to remove it.

That's not a spontaneous discharge. There's nothing spontaneous about that. That's as spontaneous as the time that Saudi Prince got off the rape charge by saying he was sleepwalking with an -------- and happened to fall onto the couch where the woman was laying.

"that said, I call BS on this article."

Don't trust the Trump Government numbers?

Trump (DOGE) targeted black women with their government cuts, this is well known by people who bother to know things about the country they live in.

"I admit they are at fault"

They murdered that man like Nazis in the streets of Poland.

"Your claim requires ignoring what MLK actually said and believed."

You'll have a hard time finding too many things MLK said that I can't agree with.

Please proceed, Governor.

"loving one another, taking care of the poor, the hungry, those in prison, immigrants, and strangers."

This accounts for about 90% of what Jesus talked about.
Jesus teaches us to welcome foreigners and immigrants and refugees and simply treat them as human beings.

It's quite surprising to me how that's too big an ask for some people.
I feel like I fundamentally can't understand how someone thinks that's just a bad thing to do.
I can see not doing it yourself, and being happy there's other people doing these good works. Lord knows I'm not visiting prisoners to help them become better people.

But I can't understand being angry that we are helping those in need.
I can understand being angry at the people who take advantage of our kindness. Like the Somali Daycare fraud that we don't hear about now that ICE is routinely killing people and still not releasing the Epstein Files. You can be mad about that, but saying we're putting an end to all Federal daycare spending because of one fraud has the effect of punishing children for something they had no control over. When your solution to a crime is to harm children, you are a bad person.

What I can't quite understand is how you Republicans get so burned by other people's kindness towards each other, that you want to smash it.

"But Jesus would be appalled by the way liberalism has evolved today."

You think he'd be more on the Conservative side, with the flying planes into buildings, and ethnically cleansing the land of his birth?

"cute little narrative you constructed of the evil assassins twirling their snidely whiplash mustaches "

See, you're forcing yourself to live in a cartoon world.
You can't take this seriously.

Here in the real world, they say "------- Bitch" after they shoot her in the face.
That's a cute little narrative Angry White Men like you created.
For some reason, you're telling us we're getting you guys all wrong.

The ICE agent telling the civilians following them around
"Have y'all not learned from the past couple of days?"

That's the narrative, cop.

Are you man enough to talk about it?

"looking for reasons to kill people"

Have you been retired for like 20 years, and have no idea what's actually going on?

Is that why you don't realize how stupid you sound, to actually be a cop, and saying ICE isn't looking for excuses to escalate violence against civilians who get in their way?

That is literally what they are instructed to do.
And this is the training from ten years ago.
Not the new stuff they're getting from IDF and Stephen Miller!
Link from 2016:

"I'm sorry he's dead."

No, you're not sorry he's dead.
You spent this whole thread saying he rightfully deserves to be dead.

"spontaneous discharge"

Do we actually have ballistics evidence supporting the claim that his gun discharged in any capacity?

Bcause I tend to think if this actually happened, that evidence would be on the front page of WhiteHouse.gov. Don't you?

----, even the White House has walked back their story. You're still trying to sell it.

What would Charlie Kirk do?

Charlie was raising a fuss about IDF doing exactly this kind of thing to Palestinians, in the weeks and months before his death.

That's why Nick Fuentes ordered Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Trump Says Americans 'Can't Have Guns' At Protests.

Funny.
There were guns at the Cliven Bundy protests.
There were guns at the Michigan State House protests.
There were guns at the Unite The Right March in Charlottesville.
Kyle Rittenhouse brought a gun to a protest and became a Hero Of The Crybaby Right.

Now our Republican President says We The People can't have guns at protests.

Hey Republicans.
Is it fascism yet?

Corky, you don't think any of the lefts policies pushed moderates away from the left and to the right during the election?
#39 | Posted by kwrx25

I think right-wing propaganda painting the left policies as harmful to America could have done that.

The actual policies of the left don't harm America, and the reason I know that's the case is you can't name any left policies that harmed America.

"the left is so far left"

How do you figure?
What are your examples of left going further left in our lifetimes?

"When ICE sends its people, they're not sending their best ... They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people"

Obama will always have a special place in your heart.

Obama is the reason millions of insecure white men like you went Full ------.

It's one of the best lyrics, and so well placed.

It's also the central tenet of Buddhism. Desire is the root of all suffering.

Which, uh, is why it resonates with people, including people who think Buddhist immigrants should be sent to camps.
