Buddy I only have nice things to say about you. I’m interested in what you have to say & enjoy my exchanges with you. Cheers & happy holidays. Sincerely.

About Trump & the War on Drugs. I’m starting to wonder about our motivations here. Are we the US a narcostate?

Wait, what thread did I start?

Actual decent point here.

None of it makes any sense to rational people. The islamist who attacked the French Quarter drove all the way from Houston, twice. He even found his way blocked off once, left, then came back much later. You’ll never understand it.

Sure, just look at the comment I was responding to. Dogcows raised why the Feds didn’t wait to roll up the coconspirators. Why not wait for the meeting, get surveillance on that, then identify additional plotters & additional evidence for the charges.

CF you’ll be happy to learn I’ll be heading to a local pub & then later a trivia night. I anticipate having 1-2 Bell’s draft while I watch the 2nd half of Phi-Chi, then some hearty rare German Biers while I catch the Horns decimating the hated aggies. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours. Cheers.

What, you’ve established some standard unit metric for posting? Like 1 thread = 100 posts?

Well you I guess, considering you just made a claim about posting over the holiday.

The President Is Losing Control of Himself ~~~ Donald Trump’s outbursts on social media this week were different than usual. >>>Presidents often lose control over their agenda, or the policy process, or pieces of legislation. Sometimes, they even lose control of their party. But Donald Trump seems to have lost control over the one thing every person, and especially those with immense power, should always maintain control over: himself. Yesterday the president called for the arrest and execution of elected American officials for the crime—as he sees it—of fidelity to the Constitution. It would be easy merely to note, yet again, that the president is a depraved man and a menace to the American system of government. As remarkable as it is to say it, however, the outbursts of this past week are different, and were likely triggered by Trump’s panic over the release of files about his former friend, the dead sex offender Jeffery Epstein. No one should treat this new phase in the president’s aggression against democracy as just another episode in the Trump reality show.<<<

Today he called a reporter a “stupid person” because she dared raise that his administration had vetted & given asylum to the DC shooter.

I did. I went to Charlotte & DC recently. If you don’t believe me go look at FFA in FBGs where I asked for recommendations for Charlotte & Georgetown in 2 threads.

Out of 6 (?) threads started since yesterday I count 4 as being started by a maga poster, 1 by maybe (?) a liberal or anti-trumper & 1 by an Indy.

I think about 5 minutes into the invention of internet arguments circa 1993 it was agreed that if you replied ‘because you’re a stupid person’ that means you’ve lost the argument.

Typically normal exchange at the Trump press conference.

I agree. See this over & over again with the Trump administration. If Bennett is a terrorist it’s incompetence considering they started out with a tip. I also wonder if he brought his child with him to Vegas as his attorney claims because that seems like a weird way to conspire a terror plot.

Just a reminder Thomas Fugate is the Trump administration’s director of the FBI’s domestic terrorism unit.

The Trump administration granted him asylum in April 2025. That’s not something DHS does to someone they’re going to deport. And if he was a radical Islamist terrorist he would be arrested, not deported.

Can we be serious before we jab each other? First of all Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours. Ok, I’d like to point out that this man fought with & for US forces *against the Taliban, 2011-2021. The Trump administration surely examined his record fighting for the US in examining his record when they granted asylum. Agreed?

Antipilgra has entered the chat.

So you’re anti-Pilgrim? >>The English Pilgrims, who left Great Britain and sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in 1620, were not only escaping religious persecution in their homeland. They also wanted to turn their back on what they viewed as the materialistic and greedy corruption of the Old World.<<

This seems highly relevant. Apparently this is public record. This tragedy is already awash in unfair finger jabbing so the significance will be lost. It’s 100% Lakanwal’s doing. But: National Guard aren’t cops, they’re not trained to be cops. It’s so utterly sad this poor girl was there but also that it was her first day, just completely unprepared for all this.

This’ll be interesting to see how this turns out. Guy goes to a Vietnamese restaurant with his brother, talks about the Bad Things he would do with his gun & ammo he has at home, &!how he’d like to meet up with likeminded types. Turns out he was overheard by an off duty cop. Arrested at the airport where he says he was going to an F1 race with his child. Apparently he’s already on leave from his school. This appears to be him.

Of course. He’s a serial fabulist. This is a guy who repeatedly claimed WW1 ended in 1917 due to the Spanish Flu. In an article I posted further up it lays out how Trump has repeatedly & falsely claimed his uncle taught the Unibomber. Any factual claim he makes is almost certainly false.

The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal >>Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings The FBI spied on a private Signal group chat of immigrants’ rights activists who were organizing “courtwatch” efforts in New York City this spring, law enforcement records shared with the Guardian indicate. The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violatingimmigrants’ due process rights at those courts. …. A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors”. The two-page report was distributed to other law enforcement agencies across the US. … The FBI’s report from August, prepared by its New York division, does not make clear how the bureau accessed the Signal group. The Signal platform, widely used by activists, is known for its end-to-end encryption; typically, the only way law enforcement can access messages is if they are directly included in the chat, are sent copies from a participant or have access to a member’s unlocked phone. …<<
