    You can't reason with the irrational.

    How can you even begin to have conversations with such people when there is no shared reality? You can't. I mean, calling January 6 a hoax? We all watched it live and it's been thoroughly documented with the J6 committee hearings. They're insisting we discard factual reality and pretend it never happened.

    Hey, don't criticize those people. You'll only make them want to vote for Trump.

    And keep in mind, it's objecting to this sort of thing that's going to make a Democrat want to shoot Trump. Or something.

    "Find explosives" - what's with the scare quotes?

    I was logged out when I clicked on this page. Hence I got to see Ignored Content.

    Here's the article the Tweet is referring to

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...Long-Island-second-assassination-attempt.html

    From the article:

    Sources in the Nassau County Police Department allegedly told journalist James Lalino that the rally site 'perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed.'

    In addition, during the K9 sweep they apparently 'found an explosive device in one of the vehicles.'

    The sources allegedly said the driver ended up running into the woods.

    'No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there,' the source went on to tell Lalino according to a post on X.



    Basically, Tabloid reporting in which the tabloid knows it's liable to be sued. And it's a tweet about an article about another tweet. So, in case anyone is wondering why that poster is so worthy of ignoring.

    This photo tells so many stories. I won’t be surprised if some awful stuff from her kids comes out years later. And of course, she’s making child labor easier in that photo.

    Then you see the one of Walz and those kids when he signed a lunch meal bill for children.

    And you would think if police actually did find explosives at a rally, they would evacuate the rally and not allow crowds to grow in number. It simply makes no sense.

    Oh. My. God. I just googled "journalist James Lalino." Long story short... there should have been another use of the word "alleged" and quotation marks around the word "journalist."

    He works for Project Veritas.

    He's not a journalist. He just plays one in MAGA-land.

    :rolleyes:

    That's why it is important to verify sources and information before spreading it! But MAGA already irresponsibly ran with it and spread it around. Unfortunately, the update never spreads as quickly or as far as the original post.

    After two years of Russia Russia Russia and Charlottesville, I see where you're coming from.

    It's about the "very fine people on both sides" statement that Trump made after the right wingers in Charlottesville killed a woman.

    You keep bringing up Charlottesville, but I don't think you understand the implications of it - either he is saying there are very fine people in the neo-Nazis or he is totally confused as to what the topic is and is saying there are very fine people among confederate supporters.

    Let me quote:

    Reporter: "Mr. President, are you putting what you’re calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?"

    Trump: "I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs -- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch. "But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left -- you just called them the left -- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is. [My comment: Really? The left came violently attacking the other group in Charlottesville or in the taking down of the Robert E Lee statues, whichever one he was talking about?]

    Reporter: (Inaudible) "… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the --"

    Trump: "Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides -- I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say."

    Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"

    Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."


    In other words, he responds to a question about Charlottesville and says there were very fine people on both sides. Now, you can argue he was conflating Charlottesville with the taking down of the Robert E Lee statues, but if so it just goes to show how confused and inarticulate he is.

    My understanding is that this tweet exaggerates the closeness of the Thiel-Silver connection, but yeah, keep this in mind going forward

    Or you can read more and find the truth. But you won't.
