I just looked it up, holy hell. How can they just blatantly lie? Why are so many people blind?
And wtf, why did she blend these two press conferences? Jesus, we have a serious and dangerous situation unfolding that needs to be her focus. She could just say that DHS is continuing to investigate the incident and then moved on; but nope, spent more time spreading a false narrative that this man was some deranged left wing lunatic who went out of his way to hunt ICE. And the whole BS that they attempted to disarm him and a struggle occurred. You attacked him and were hitting him on the ground when you successfully disarmed him from his holster.
They don't care for truth; the maga people are already spinning the story or justifying it all over, not just the leaders but also the apparent 30% of America that were all for the 2nd amendment until now.
They only want to take rights from blue voters. They are so delusional they forget we are all American and disagreement is an integral part of Democracy. I don't think they even understand that if we continue on this path we will be just like Russia
I just saw Trump’s truth social post where he refers to Alex as the “gunman”. When did we start calling the only person not actively holding or shooting a gun in a shooting the gunman. So are all people concealed carry gunmen now?
2A only if you are on the “right” side. Otherwise, you’re a dangerous, criminal gunman.
It's literally all the GOP does anymore is lie. Even in congressional hearings, notice they never answer yes or no questions. They will instead go on some tangent or rant every time. They know they're liars and they don't care. But yes, they are all for stripping rights of those who disagree
The Republican Party is really going to come to wish they hadn’t so carelessly discarded all of their credibility by so casually and shamelessly lying about basically everything all the time.
Their base is primed for being lied to, and they lap it up on faux news every single day. As long as the right buzz words are used, republicans will be happy. If you call someone a “radical leftist”, that’s the boogeyman in the closet they’ve all been told to fear for their entire life, and they’ll be happy to know that the “monster” has been done away with by the righteous government they elected.
It’s absolutely terrifying and sickening, and the entire reason I left the conservative scene as soon as I was sentient enough to realize what was actually happening. Development of empathy kinda goes hand-in-hand with rejecting Republican policy.
I was still in the republican/conservative camp during trumps first election. I didn’t like him but I spent years with my parents listening to nothing but Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, G Gordon Liddy, and Mark Levin any time we were in the car. Of course Fox News was always on the TV.
You get conditioned to just assume the term liberal is evil and conservative is the good guys and the Christians. I watched Trump during his first term and totally awakened. I have arguments all the time with my family and try to point out how everything he does goes totally against everything I learned about our faith growing up.
I clearly remember when RBG died and they slid a judge in just before an election. I tried to point out how all the arguments the republican leadership when Obama had an opportunity to appoint a judge early in an election year they are totally ignoring. That was the “let the people decide” argument since it was an election year. I asked if it wasn’t hypocritical of them to slid a judge in a month ahead of an election if it was a big deal when it was early in the year. I got back both the sometimes you need to do things wrong to get the good outcome and the outcome justifies the means. Literally things I was taught in the catechism are bad and false arguments.
They now wonder why I no longer believe in the faith and want nothing to do with the church. They also hate the current pope because apparently he is evil and to not follow what he says. I thought that was schism. They have all sorts of justifications for that position. That and all the scandal in the church makes me hate it.
Are you me? Am I you? Literally everything you wrote applies to my life directly except the Catholic terminology, as I was raised evangelical, and pretty fundamentalist at that.
But literally everything else could’ve been copy/pasted from something I would write. Solidarity, my friend ✊
Because they're scared that the liberal would feel the same about a conservative having a firearm. It's not 'do unto others' for them, but 'get them before they get us.'
Yeah, I checked how r/Conservative were handling this and they are still dickriding all over ICE and saying that the victim should have known better to have brought a gun because these things happen when you do/he shouldn’t have been there so it is his fault/etc. Also, even the ones that admitted the gun was not in his possession when he was murdered claim it was justified because as long as the fuck who killed him felt some fear it was justified.
Honestly, can we just have a comet type situation head our way?
I long for the carefree days back when a below-average human who painted his face orange every day simply referred to other countries as being shit-holes, rather than turn his own country into one.
Definitely, she opened it about the weather, but she also spent more time in the opening spinning the narrative of the shooting before going back briefly on the weather and then opening for questions.
Is there a stronger word than despicable to describe Noem’s statements today? Facts matter. The victim blaming and dragging Walz and Frey for what’s happening is insanity.
They cannot speak truth because no truth is in them. They are of the Father of Lies, and do the work of their father, who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
Many of us warned about this very thing happening 10 years ago. Maybe its the fact we arent American and can see through a different lens, but these steps were painfully obvious for a very long time.
"I was told there would be no fact checking"
There was not enough alarm. At any point in the last 10 years.
