Couple of points:

Could you clarify the "white girls" remark? It sounds a lot more ignorant than you may have intended.

Also, you're aware that hypocrisy is not exactly a rare characteristic in human behavior, right?

My "wow" is because it's to be expected such an occurrence could amount to something a good deal more profound than "sad" - however measured/expressed - for a family. I suspect we are actually not in disagreement, just using different focal points.

Patricide Jeff idolizes Tim McVeigh.

Many rightists do. One problem getting the OKC bombing properly memorialized where it occurred involved the presence of an existing manure dump of opinion more than a little reflective of views expressed by McVeigh. (The dynamics associated with memorializing that historical event are extremely well covered by Edward T. Linenthal in The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American Memory.)

"This is sad for a few families ... "

Wow.

Oops, Jeff, only one word per 8-hour shift can be hijacked by a shill for ... well, shilling. You got mulliganed that crazy "some" earlier, so "polling" will have to wait. Sorry, Jeff, losers don't get prizes.

Unlike our own Grand Cham ...

"Then, my friends, go to the polls this weekend, stand with Viktor Orbn, because he stands for you, and he stands for all these things [sovereignty, God, country]."
Vance

"I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but you [Orban] are fantastic. I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters."
Trump

"I'm a big fan of Victor Orban and the United States is with him all the way."
Trump

That word "some" sure does a lot of heavy lifting whenever you hijack it, Jeffy. Like your buddy Old Yeller's shtick, the act is moth-eaten. It's why they had a hook in vaudeville.

Two points to toss into the hopper:

(1). Trump, former "reality" show compere, is a short attention span, mentally ill, six-times bankrupt who repeatedly demonstrates he is incapable of managing even a gambling den.

(2). Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, scion of a family of prosperous Isfahan rug merchants, has a book out - The Power of Negotiation: Principles and Rules of Political and Diplomatic Negotiations. I have not read Araghchi's treatise and it's entirely possible nobody in the White House has, either. But, reaching across the aisle here, perhaps someone should.

Using masked, uniformed thugs to murder people in the streets is now a "both sides" line of partisan boolsheet for MAGAts? WOW, MAGAJesus got a hold on you.

... and yet its beyond you why Gestapo wouldnt need to wear a mask.

See line #4 of post #26 wherein a very good reason is advanced for a confident regime's power display of unmasked enforcers. Claro?

... why do people overwhelmingly want to move the US?

You should be aware by now, statements issued on behalf of the regime by the regime do not arrive decorated with the garlands of credibility.

... .relative to the rest of us?

That would be you and the wee voice?

In Putin's Russia, "law enforcement" (OMON, SOBR, FSB), like Trump's ICE, often arrives masked.
Interestingly, no-masks was good enough for Hitler's Gestapo.
Masking inspires victims' fear and immunizes a fearful regime's enforcers.
Unmasked enforcers also inspire victims' fear, while putting a confident regime's supreme power on display.

In my experience, a huge difference between parents in various states of ignorance and medical professionals - let's start with paramedics and work through nurses to wherever - is the professionals tend strongly to be keenly aware of the limits of their knowledge. Not their knowledge of some hocus-pocus cannibal's brew of "alternative facts" but facts. Helps them make fewer mistakes.

Xi will be feeling pretty confident next week when the guy who lost Trump's War shows up in Beijing and tries blowing some of his pathetic "I have all the cards" smoke.

So many little hands and tiny pingas, so many packages to ship before Christmas.

"Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf," he said.

Correct, "Pastor." It's actually a yellow-colored depiction of a huge horse's as s.

The job of Congress during the rolling coup is for its Republican majority to obstruct efforts to defeat it by doing absolutely nothing to hinder its progress.

In this, Republicans in Congress are performing beyond even the wildest expectations, doing their part by diligently adhering to a program of doing ... nothing.

You can rest easy now, sport. It's Saturday. Middle school's out.

Yeah, that Trump, what a bruiser.

Puts Old Yeller right into contention another Federation Internationale de Football Association[a] (FIFA) "FIFA Peace Prize - Football Unites the World" trophy - what a winnah!
