    No, I am not missing the point. i think it is you making my oint for me by bending this to meet you narative,  which is why i state 

     

    this is just one story, look around and you will find people moaning about tha fact that the killer was misgendered. You will also find people vilifying the "establishment" that drove an individual to commit this act.  You will also find articles that try to downplay the trans angle altogether. 

    The fact of the matter is its all bull<deleted> and if it wants to avoid more dead children, the US needs to get its act together and control guns, not to focus on  divisive gender politics that have no place in any sane society, 

    I agree with your conclusion and fully support gun control.

     

    What I disagree about is that you seem to suggest that both sides are equally at fault. It's not the left-wing which pointed at the alleged trans factor and sent incendiary tweets. Had the right-wing not done it in the first place, nobody would have talked about it. Starting with this thread: there would be no thread. 

    Moreover, directing the ire of public opinion towards any particular group (trans or others: jews, blacks, muslims, etc...) is usually not without consequences and may incite violence.

    Best to check the odds being offered by bookmakers, not the polls. They are giving Trump a 50/50 chance of winning the presidential election if he is nominated by the Republican party.

    Ahem!

    America have lost the fokkin plot and most other "first world countries are following hot on their heels. Its a byproduct of having life too easy. Canada is almost worse, but they, at least, have avoided mass gun deaths,

     

    People come on here ranting about the idiosyncrasies of Thai culture, but Thailand doesn't hold a candle  to this load of old cobblers.

     

    And now, agenda benders on both sides of the political continuum are twisting this to fit their narrative. 

    they are overlooking dead children and a lack of gun control to point fingers at irrelevant gender issues or worse, becoming incensed that this murderer is being misgendered in the press. 

    WTF?

    Way to miss the fokkin point

     

    You are missing the point, one side of the political continuum is incensed at a politician directing (once more) public opinion against LGBT people by spreading lies (there is no trans terrorism, the fact that the murderer was not even trans is a minor point).

     

    You know, the same side of the political continuum which is advocating for banning guns whenever a mass murder happens, and is trying to pass anti-gun laws. When it fails to pass such laws, it is due to the other side opposing it, under the influence of the NRA swamp.

  4. New information about it:

     

    Here's what Fox News was trying to hide in its Dominion lawsuit redactions

     

    "Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News' so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump.

    The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway."

    (There are other interesting facts in the article)

    Perhaps you can explain why it was unproductive?

    Did the missiles not stop flying after Trump visited.

     

    What did you expect anyway, that Kim should agree to ban nuclear weapons or something?

    Actually, it fits the programming of different types of missiles. In 2017, NK had completed its current (at that time) ICBM missile program tests. Kim is smarter than what you think.

    When missile tests started again in 2019, it was the outcome of a different program of short-range missiles, followed later by other tests (new medium and long range missiles)

    It's the other way around.

     

    There were very few rioters there that day, but that's all the media showed.

     

    They didn't show the majority doing nothing wrong.

     

    They didn't show the Capitol Police opening locked doors and giving them a civilized guided tour through the chambers inside (including that guy who got 4 years in jail).

     

    How did you feel about your government hiding information from you? How can you say that's right?

     

    I replied to you and posted a link from the NYPost in which the police was arguing they had no other choice Because they were outnumbered. 

    Are you contesting the fact that the police was outnumbered?

    Trump warns of ‘potential death & destruction’ if he is charged in hush-money case

    Former president Donald Trump warned early Friday of “potential death & destruction” if he is charged in Manhattan in a criminal case related to alleged hush-money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an affair.

    The post-midnight posting on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, was his latest — and most explicit — allusion to violence that could follow an indictment stemming from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), whom Trump called a “degenerate psychopath.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/24/trump-hush-money-death-destruction/

    As usual, Trump reacts in a dignified way! ????

    “What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?” Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after 1 a.m. Friday.

    “Why & who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely hates the USA!” Trump wrote"
