No regrets submitting someone who was there to the FBI tip line. Fun fact...he went on a rant about people snitching and the FBI had a talk with him back in the summer. He deleted his posts pertaining to being talked to by law enforcement and a court date. In fact, he deleted ALL posts pertaining to the 1/6 insurrection. EDIT - just looked at his Facebook page and he is posting memories from a year ago. WTF. And he wonders how he was caught. If I could submit him again...

So we go from dystopian science fiction to optimistic science fiction. Wait! I've seen this Star Trek episode.

Forgot to post this here...over the past few days caught a couple of podcasts/shows related to the insurrection. https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/the-pivotal-and-petty-battle-for-qanons-future/ This is quite interesting, and scary/not surprising, about how the Qanon/Big Lie is splintering. Gets into the difference between believers and "Paytriots," and suggest the end result will lead to something worse. a la Pizzagate. https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-...wing-media-infrastructure?showDate=2022-01-06 Just listen. ********ing scary. I mean, they had an audience member at some event ask somebody on stage "When do we get to kill those people?"
I read it, interesting but seemed a little grassy knollish. He has at least one behaviorist detractor and he certainly isn't a Trump fan. Piece I wrote about bullshit “behavior expert” @drgjackbrown, who spreads bad, creepily over-certain psychology takes & debunked ideas.And bunch of people listen to him, because this is the internet & it’s easy to fool people. https://t.co/5nlVUZ9Ano— Zachary Elwood (@apokerplayer) January 4, 2022
What I'm about to write isn't my own thought, it's something I read elsewhere, but I think it's a great summation of part of what's happening in the US. Let's say for the sake of argument the core activists and politicians in the GOP want to create an authoritarian ethnonationalist state. I think everyone on this thread would agree with that. The implication for the media is that the media, like all right thinking individuals and institutions, should see the GOP as an enemy to our way of life. Some of the media are stating the facts as they are, albeit in a pusillanimous way. Still, it's better than nothing. But that next step? Identifying the enemy? Not even close. It's not just that they can't use their profession to actively denounce and oppose that core of the GOP that wants to install Trump as an authoritarian leader, with or without the votes. They can't even deplatform those folks and their enablers! I'm pretty sure nobody was bothsidesing WW II in the leading media outlets of the day. The mere idea is absurd. But because this enemy is an internal enemy, the media can't bring themselves to do what needs to be done. So, one of the core problems we're facing is that our elite institutions, from the media to industry, are neutral in this fight. How do we stop that?
Tangent warning! Did you know that Woody Harrelson's Dad was on that infamous grassy knoll? He was a professional hit man, one of whose victims was a federal judge. He is alleged to have claimed that he assisinated JFK and may have been one of the 3 tramps.
Yeah I think the dude is a bit out there, and I take what he tweets with a grain of salt. But even given that, I think MTG planted the pipe bombs. And I used to work in the Wilbur Cohen Building. I've walked past both the DNC and RNC buildings. Tortilla Coast was a pretty popular lunch spot for us. Security was pretty tight around the RNC, not so much around the DNC. It's pretty telling that someone was able to get into the alley next to the RNC without being questioned by the security people there.
Did I miss something? Is this just a reverse "own the libs" tactic? She and Boebert are certainly capable -- just wondering if there has been some reporting I missed that alluded to this possibility.
But it is a really stupid take. The bomber either made it themselves, or was an "errand boy." I doubt MTG has the skill to make it, and if she was an "errand boy," that says conspiracy and I'm sure it would have been exposed by now - she just not that smart and would not surround herself with smart people (or be involved with people that smart).
She seems to have been wearing the same shoes as the bomber that day, and there are similarities of frame and motion that seem almost eerie to the biased. Don't know if anyone has run the footage through one of those recognition programs to see if it eliminates her though.
