Can you explain your source for this? because from my vantage point most people really don't give a shit. Like at all.

 

Is this one of those things where the trolls are so amused that they are trolling all the imaginary people in their head that make up their idea of the "left"?

Probably. Just as was done with folks trying to troll Trump when nobody cared and, "thanks, Obama."

 

In other news, New House Bill Would Allow Residents to Carry Guns Without License.

 

EDIT: Here's a better article on it Kerry linked me to.

-Liberal CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart managed to compare the anti-Biden rallying cry "Let’s Go Brandon" to coded rhetoric from Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and ISIS in one tweet as corporate media continued its meltdown over the chant.

 

-Asha Rangappa, the analyst and senior lecturer at Yale’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, took to Twitter to consider how the pilot’s alleged comment would be received if he had said, "Long live ISIS" instead. "My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours," she posted. (In reference to pilot stating "Let's Go Brandon! at the end of his in flight speech"

 

-A few CNN analysts added to the onslaught. Juliette Kayyem, for instance, suggested substance abuse may account for the pilot's conduct. "Yes pilot conduct. His words reflect possibility of anger management or substance abuse. It is worth asking," Kayyem tweeted.

 

-"Its pilots now giving the 'f*ck you Biden' or 'let's go Brandon' GOP line during the flight," Will Bunch, an opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, tweeted. "I've always loved flying Southwest. Don't plan on doing it ever again."

 

-"Vulgarity stand-in from ⁦@SouthwestAir cockpit," Washington Post editor Cathleen Decker wrote while AP’s Colleen Long nearly got kicked off the flight. "TFW you’re trying to go on vacation and then the pilot says the very thing you’re working on over the loud speaker and you have to try to get him comment but then almost get removed from plane," Long wrote Saturday.

 

-NPR labeled the term "vulgar" and CNN’s Edward-Issac Dovere was so offended by the phrase that he called it "an inside joke telling the president of the United States to perform a sexual act on himself."

 

-Washington Post reporters Ashley Parker and Carissa Wolf wrote on what they considered "vitriol" from Biden critics in a piece titled "Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts." The article claimed, "The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread" than anything seen in previous administrations.

 

-Rapper Bryson Gray announced on Twitter Thursday that his music video poking fun at President Joe Biden was removed from YouTube due to "medical misinformation." "Why is the most censored rapper in the country someone that doesn’t even curse in songs?" Gray told Fox News. "Why can you rap about murder, sex, and drugs but when I rap about questioning the government I get banned? Is this still America?"

 

Enough examples?

 

Liberals spent years applauding and celebrating vulgar rhetoric aimed at former President Donald Trump. Robert de Niro once received a standing ovation from the glamorous Hollywood crowd attending the Tony Awards by simply uttering, "f—k Trump."

 

Critics of Trump also threatened to blow up the White House, posed with a mock severed head of the former president, and celebrated his fictional assassination in an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."

So your examples are mostly Pundit sources (not news sources) practicing brinkmanship? Can you really say any of these people speak for the whole of one political side, and if so, does that mean that Hannity and Tucker speak for all conservatives?

 

Sounds like you are giving "the media" a pass for the action that most people are angry with the media about, just because it convenient for you.

CNN employees, Washington Post employees, AP Employees, NPR, YouTube, what were you expecting, a nationwide poll of self proclaimed leftists? Many of these were stated on news sources and not refuted by their employers (which they usually due quickly if they disagree or feel it varies from their viewers/readers opinion). As typical with many people, you disagreed with a point and said show me it is happening and that you are not making it up. I showed you and now you want more proof. It is happening a lot, it is well documented. If you choose to not believe it, so be it.

[oh8sti]

Thank you Thomas. You’re doing the Lords work. It appears Kerry does give a lot of shits about Let’s Go Brandon.

Perhaps, but he's just a pundit source (not news sources) practicing brinkmanship. :gabe:

Got it, so conservatives are literally losing their minds over every topic Tucker Carlson talks about on his show. Glad we cleared that up :thumbup:

 

no wonder they seem so miserable, losing your mind 5 days a week over every little thing seems exhausting.

 

See this is the problem I have with conversations with conservatives on this forum. Its not about issues or policies - for people like Pandah all that matters is that the other side is unhappy and that makes them happy. It is literally the most vacuous, unintellectual, approach to politics. What common ground can be found with someone who is willing to screw themselves over just so they can think their nameless, faceless "enemy" is unhappy.

Basically the reason I left facebook recently. Likely won't be permanent, but I just got tired of it being nothing but politics and people slinging shit.

[Otis Nice]

Regardless of the source here's this. Sharing is for the vid more than anything.

 

Here's some important new FBI footage of the Kyle Rittenhouse shootings that wasn't released until now for some weird reason

[greg1647545532]

I watched it several times and I'm not sure it makes anything more clear

[Mace1647545504]

I have to agree with greg..the video is kinda muddled..I feel if does show he was trying to help and then I assume the rioters saw him with a weapon and decided they were going to take it from him....a dumb mistake on their part.

 

They got what they deserved..leave him alone and nothing happens...go after him to do bodily harm..welllllllll

[Furloaf]

Had not known until watching that, that ziminkis and Rosenbaum had some interaction together. Prior thought ziminkis was just a random retard that fired a random shot off.

[oh8sti]

this is the new evidence that the prosecutor was saying would "make it clear that Rittenhouse is the aggressor".......wtf?

 

This only makes it more clear that this whole trial doesnt even need to take place.

 

I watched the opening statements and kept thinking to myself while listening to the prosecutor "You know you are supposed to be....prosecuting....?". He basically did the work for the defense. The defense lawyer should have stood up and just said "Yup, I second what the prosecution says happened. Now, lets watch the video again."

 

What is the prosecution arguing here?

She speaks the truth but the dems really don't want to hear it as they would be exposed as the racist.

[l36tols1]

You have to be 18 to even carry in Wisconsin. He was 17 at the time. NO reason for him to even have a gun on him. ESPECIALLY at the event he was at.

I agree. Same for the guy that almost shot him in the face before he was "disarmed"

Rittenhouse is charged with 6 counts:

- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESS HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

 

- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

 

- FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

 

- ATTEMPTED FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

 

- FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

 

- POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON BY A PERSON UNDER 18

 

- FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN EMERGENCY ORDER FROM STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

 

 

Of those charges, only two, intentional homicide and attempted intentional homicide, can use self defense as a defense. Self defense doesn't help when facing a "reckless" charge, and illegally possessing a weapon only further supports that he was reckless.

[Mace1647545504]

I think the only charge that sticks is the possession charge...imho

 

The failure to comply I would think only if there were riots and the local government told everyone to go home or be arrested. Oh wait it was a riot but not reported that way..it was a protest and 100s maybe 1000s were out and about.

 

And my last thought, if the police did tell him they were glad he was there then the failure to comply is gone... I'm not an attorney nor do I know what those charges entail.
