Going to be frank. Aside from the very few times I discussed with VillageIdiot.

I've literally NEVER seen a political disagreement, on this forum, that didn't have "witty" lulz or ad-hominems attacks.

Isn't that literally what every single conversation that's every occurred politically on this site, period? Let alone this entire thread. And ignoring whoever created this thread, the fact this hasn't been locked and/or nobody has been punished for past or present behavior on here. Is absolutely appalling...

Let's apply that same standard to the Trump campaign. What's your definitive conclusion there?

Remember, Manafort, the Trump guy they're needling for foreign involvement, is currently indicted for activities he undertook on behalf of the Ukraine, during his time with Podesta Group -- Podesta, as in Hillary's campaign manager.

EDIT: as an aside, everything I just linked is a matter of record. Some of it, like Uranium One, we're still waiting o more info, but the part of the story we've got on record so far is very damning. You should definitely look into these things on your own time. I haven't even touched the conspiracy theories, credible (Seth Rich) or otherwise (comet ping pong)

No comment of a mass shooting going on at a Texas church here? Nothing on how November 4th was forced to fizzle or Senator Rand Paul being assaulted by violent leftist neighbor, and not even a word of all the Saudi princes who got pinched on corruption charges, to include one who was notorious for taunting President Donald Trump and being the subject of terrorism investigations there? Color me unsurprised.

Regardless, time to focus on what is known in addition to initial information gathered.

The situation that occurred in Sutherland Springs, Texas was a shooter, in all black and tactical equipment, who barged into a church this Sunday some time after eleven in the morning and killed 27 of the congregation. The attacker, identified as David Patrick Kelley was a dishonorably discharged member from the United States Air Force, found guilty of assaulting his wife and his child in court martial, barred from owning or purchasing firearms, demoted to the rank of Airman Basic, and had served a year in confinement.

Currently, the motive is unclear but intelligence gathered suggests it was ideological, potentially political as well; his Facebook had ties to many athiest groups and a few "RESIST" movements as well as the following statement by a group called "TOGETHER WE RISE", which Kelley was a part of:

The weapon used, according to information as it is now, was an AR-15 style Ruger rifle, which had been customized by the attacker (perhaps to more closely resemble the M4 rifle used by the Air Force). However, the active shooter was interrupted and forced to flee - potentially suffering a mortal injury in the process - when a neighbor to the church heard the shooting and retrieved his own rifle and fired upon him. The armed citizen then harassed and forced Kelley to flee by continued shooting.

Kelley is confirmed dead by law enforcement, but the investigation has escalated further, now into the hands of federal investigation.

I just don't get why so many people here are so angry and rude. Take a long look at yourselves, dudes.

Take a step back then. It won't do you any good to keep posting in the thread, and it won't look good on you if you only criticize some of the participants instead of talking about the subject. We don't want to become part of the problem, after all!

But more selfishly, I just want to piss people off for my mere existence here, because it makes the shit they say about me ten times funnier.

@SleepingSilence
Last warning. Are you going to return to the topic of politics or do you want to continue your current choice of discussion?

If you have something you wish to report that violates the rules, this is not the correct channel to raise such an issue.

Bro, it's alright. Some of us work. Some of us don't turn on the TV every day. Some of us prefer to listen to music as they drive. It's all OK. Not everyone knows the news as soon as it happens.

That said, I did hear about the Texas shooting today. Apparently he was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force for assaulting his wife and child, tried to bribe an under-aged girl into dating him... and he could still legally buy guns. I'm not sure what allowed that, honestly. Our laws, as I think they are stated now, should've prevented that from happening. But the enforcement of those laws may have been lacking. IDK. I'm too burned out of politics to really look it up and talk too much about it at the moment.

Only heard mention of the Saudi princes and Rand Paul's assault. Some people are just shitty? Don't know what to tell you, man.

The lying mainstream media and news was more concerned with the President of the United States "incorrectly feeding koi fish" than a shooter who did not fit their narrative; going so far as to edit the clip of the two world leaders so it made their ideological opponent play the fool.

Don't get my thread locked y'all. Look at the regulars here and their post history, they spend most of their time here.

"I do belong here. These bad people are what I'm good at. Outtalking them, outthinking them. It's what I am. And I like it."

Excuse the fuck you? You didn't say anything that can be interpreted as bad boy behaviour in strictest terms but it's still awfully fucking annoying to be referred to as "mr. middle finger man," which surprises me that you hold such a long lite-grudge. I wasn't punished here because literally the only person to be punished here is ace of fucks because that was a person who's retardation was too far off the charts to be noticeable, but it was repeatedly said rules would be lax here. And, you want a fucking apology? For what, precisely? Sure, maybe just now I'll be saying nasty things but I flipped you off because you threw derogatory shit at me for wanting to keep the old land out of the horrid poverty it's in.

And, you haven't seen me talk to people outside of politics in a friendly manner? Well woop-de-fucking doo la or however they say it, that's because I haven't once interacted with you outside of such a setting you little shit. If what you were saying was even remotely true I wouldn't be in 3 RPs at once, and a cursory glance through your profile goes to show you don't spend time outside of spam threads where you don't have any proper interactions.

Oh, and lay off of the "lol I was super nice and kind and understanding until you bad boys corrupted me :(((" bullshit, it's fucking annoying. You weren't a paragon before you were triggered more than that bitch in the memes by fabricant who whilst I very often disagree with said literally naught wrong to you. And, you're not the only person here having "rational discussion," stop fucking lying cunt
