No shootings at mine either, and previous generations the kids brought their hunting rifles into their locker in deer season.

Somethings broke in society, columbine was a first manifestation of that.

Or like a kid that just walkes in on his parents having sex.

The business Round Table in 1972 set up the long game to kill the Republic in all but name that led to Reagan and everything else since.

I only knew of him as some right wing edgelord troll type until a month ago or so. Never saw him speak.

Never use any nbc. They may position themselves as Democrats, but they are the Democrats that have led us to nominate three awful presidential candidates that have allowed this Republican party to achieve what might now be absolute power soon. They’ve made no secret of their plans to kill the Republican all but name and we still refused to nominate candidates that could save the Republic and stop them.

This media is the enemy and has been, even if somewhat separate from the enemy controlling the federal government.

The other factions of fascists own this media, the repub partisan fascists are taking over the long game of big biz to kill the republic in all but name.

The large media companies are owned by broad commercial interests and indeed the enemy of working people however they try to position themselves, but the other Factor at play here is the right is trying to subordinate them further and accuses them of bias at every opportunity and they cave to the pressure. Not the least as they can step on their other myriad commercial interests for not caving as we saw with Colbert recently.

Caving to the pressure it will only make it worse though.

Or their accusations against antifa in 2020 and before after they stood up to their aspiring Brown / black shirt paramilitaries in training. They’re trying to go full Nazi, only there incompetence and misunderstanding has stopped them as of yet.

Organizing to seize control of a political party and sweep elections and restore the Republic is anything but incremental change.

Since the Civil Rights Movement, The Establishment has changed things expressly to make it so the same tactics would not work again. And expressly so a scandal like Watergate would not force a resignation as well.

Those tactics would be a good compliment but alone will not carry the day. We need organization, and leadership.

I would say innumerable groups Federated on a forum to cooperate on what they agree on. Where people can work in separate private groups as they see fit, and we could find and groom our own political leaders and help them get into office, and indeed business. The Federated bit is key to prevent the entire thing from being subverted or crushed.

We need some popular and strong leadership, with popular allies all across the country tailored to their districts but cooperating on the main facets like working people not being screwed by the rich without consent, and freedom from government oppression and mass surveillance and the like.

Some people people live in an alternate reality crafted by their media and influencers. The right wing just has been bringing their thralls to very dark places. It happened step by step not all at once. Aiming to go full Nazi.

Contracting to a private company amounts to the same thing. If they do not have anything to hide they should have no problem retesting it independently.

I do not doubt they privatize more and more law enforcement operations so they can pay more for less with worse service.

Speaking of which, that gives them less credibility not more if it is contracted out. That is less to anybody that has followed events and understands them.

Demanding sources for something you disbelieve on points tangential to the point is something people that want to derail your argument do to put you on the defensive without cause.

As if I care that you believe the cops are trustworthy or not. The barrels should be tested independently.

You can take my tangential comment that police crime Labs try to give police the results they are looking for or not I don’t care. My point was there should be independent testing of the barrels given the odd circumstances.

I think it definitely warrants independent testing of the barrels. It seems pretty odd that the police would be tipped off about barrels with Trace Amounts of heroin in them. Given the authorities’ penchent for not admitting when they made a mistake.

It is quite odd otherwise.

It’s common knowledge, does somebody asked politely I might have gone to the trouble, or you could just search for Crime Lab people get caught cheating and find pages of results. Or you can search for any number of junk Sciences like hair test analysis. Or not I don’t care what you think. Someone coming from a place of it is preposterous the police would do anything improper is not worth talking to, and as such good day.

Exactly, and the post office is further hobbled so amazon is often cheaper and quicker on shipping. 7 days for a package in the post now, from 1200 miles away inside country, from an independant seller for me last two times.

Vendor said that is for all of their clients. It was 2-3 days anywhere in country for lifetimes and since 2020 gone up and up and I seem to be the only one furious about it. 7 fucking days. Amazon sent something in 4 with free shipping on order.

I am in a little place on land in nowhere and need to use amazon for some stuff. Big box stores are 40 plus miles away and they may be overpriced if they even have it.

I try to order direct but for some stuff I need amazon still. As to google I hope to change phone to open source but idk how yet.

Too arrogant. They are the aristocracy and have contempt for their non rich supporters. Especially those do gooders that believe in things beyond helping themselves.

As to cameron at least, idk if he is pig headed, but he does sodomize dead pigs. He stuck his weiner in a dead pig’s mouth as part of initiation into his aristocratic college club. As reported by one of his old club pals. Another part was to offer a 50 pound note to a homeless, snatch it back, and burn it.

Starmer is likewise a pig fucker or similar I bet.

Prez and his pals got scared, just like in 2020 when he retreated into a bunker from blm protesters. Until he illegally ordered that protest to be attacked, urging military to shoot them, at least in legs when military balked.

No one will balk this time and keep their position. They think the republic is dead already, the bill of rights does not apply, co equal branches of government were already cancelled by scotus in effect. Judges cannot stop them across the board on anything. Congress is weak at best and sycophantic on balance.
