#24 Oh, great, another internecine warrior in our midst.

Let us all bow down in gratitude to the latest iteration of George Wallace, Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, and Jill Green.

Finally, this bizarre story Via Olivia Troye: "The Lie Is the Point, And Being the Target Is the Warning."

snip ...

Once again, we are reminded that antisemitism kills. Jews targeted, murdered in Australia. "Bondi Beach shooting: 12 people confirmed dead and several injured in terrorist attack on Jewish community event"- ABC News

snip ...

Then there is this: "Trump attacks on political opponents spur a surge of threats, NBC News review finds."

snip ...

Amidst all the various threats, unknowns, sturm und drang of our age, is it possible that this ends not with a bang, but with a pandemic?

My #2 is underscored by bell boi's #3.

The end.

#13 Tell us, bell boi, did Pelosi introduce a bill to do that?

Apparently, sexual masochism is one of the tell-tale signs of being a MAGAt.

#6 Your #6 and my #7: timed perfectly at 02:37pm!

:-)

#5 WTF is "Sarah Palens," TheBovineExcrement?

#17 Okay, ---------------------.

Hard look taken.

Now, where do I cast my stone?

#51 & #52 I have zero disagreement with you vis-a-vis the genocide taking place in Israel by the Israeli government.

But I am uncertain as to the efficacy of blending that into a horrific killing in Australia.

Regardless of the so-called reasoning behind those horrific acts (including 10/7/2023).

You seem to want to paint with an anti-religious bias. I am with you 100% in that regard, because religion, especially so-called "organized religion," has been behind most of the world's most horrific massacres (any/all of the Abrahamic religions).

But, to piously claim religion first and foremost as the prime motivator for "Muslim" killers, but disingenuously dismissing made-in-America, born-and-raised Christian-American killers is, well, disingenuous.

#48 You ask, "Should I have said Military?"

Were the "Muslims" you're so certain did the killing also military?

If so, why didn't you mention that qualifier?

As for McVeigh and Nichols:

Timothy McVeigh claimed no formal religion but held some Christian influences, while Terry Nichols had connections to the Christian Identity movement and other anti-government groups, blending various beliefs rather than adhering strictly to mainstream Christianity. Both were influenced by white supremacist and radical anti-government ideologies leading to the Oklahoma City bombing.

Timothy McVeigh

Stated he was an agnostic/atheist during his trial.
Was baptized Catholic as a child but renounced it.
Expressed some Christian views at times, but was primarily motivated by anti-government, survivalist, and white supremacist ideologies (like The Turner Diaries).

Terry Nichols

Had deeper affiliations with the Christian Identity movement, a racist and antisemitic pseudo-Christian belief system.
Mixed Christian Identity with militia movements, survivalist groups, and anti-government beliefs.

Neither man was a conventional, practicing mainstream Christian; their beliefs were a radicalized amalgamation of fringe ideologies, with Nichols having more overt ties to specific extremist Christian-affiliated groups.

Were the shooters in Australia, who you confidently announce as "Muslims," "conventional, practicing mainstream Muslims?

Or were the shooters in Australia, like McVeigh and Nichols, simply horrible murderers, religion having nothing to do with it?

And, if so, why the necessity to brand them "Muslims" and not just the horrific murderers they are?

It didn't matter what motivated Omar Mateen, his victims are just as dead as are the victims in Oklahoma City and, now, in Australia.

#7 Ah, but that was the ultimate goal all along: It is truly sad how pathetic our government has become.

Along with the press.

And the Congress.

And science.

And education.

And what it means to be an American.

All of those things have been taken to the woodchipper and run through multiple times.
