What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Regardless, you deflected from the topic at hand with the old "I'm going to deflect and not discuss the topic at hand and merely point out that Biden is worse and you're a hypocrite" thing.  

It’s a moot point.  If you don’t have a problem with Biden, Warren, Clinton (both), Blumenthal, the list goes on, then I don’t see your point other than hypocrisy.  I say this guy took a page from the Democrat playbook and that’s why Democrats are mad.

At least he's admitting his lies but says he's not a criminal.  My guess is it will blow over and people won't really care.

It will blow over among republican voters for certain... they don't give two cares about having liars or conmen represent them in government. Character isn't important to the people who celebrate Trump.  We see that in abundance from MaybeeRN...

Deflection-  word used by people with no argument when pointing out that they are hypocrites.

LOL

You believe that you've pointed out hypocrisy by using deflection, projection and trolling techniques. That's funny as hell.

Sure sure...nice projection in defense of a liar and conman.  Do you defend liars by pointing at others in face to face encounters too, or only when you are trolling on-line nursing forums?

This guy used the Democrat playbook to his advantage and you are mad about it.  Boo Hoo.  Clean up your own house before you complain about ours.

How can you deduce that just because I'm talking about one thing that I don't understand or care about another issue.  
Can I deduce from your Democrat Derangement Syndrome post above that you don't care about the hunger situation in East Africa?  I think near starving people is worse that any of those people.

At least he didn’t claim to be Native American and steal a job from a deserving minority.

Of course it would be too much to ask that you actually put some detail and evidence into your trolling... but we all know that your are ashamed and embarrassed to share your right wing citations here.  Oddly, shame and embarrassment aren't common among those Trump supporters who share nonsense and baloney as if they believe it.

Historic drought, widespread food insecurity and conflict have led to dire conditions and a crisis of extreme hunger in East Africa.

"People have lost millions of livestock, they've lost all their crop – they have lost all their assets, basically," Rania Dagash-Kamara, UNICEF's Deputy Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, told NPR.

"In the Horn of Africa, in total, the numbers have been escalating with close to 15 million children affected at this point, and that's over 30 million people."

Despite the severity of the crisis, humanitarian workers say the international response has been gravely inadequate.

Moving on.  Sad situation.

The Blumethal controversy was about him saying he served in Vietnam maybe?  That was in 2010.

The Warren situation about her being Native American we discussed ad nauseam a few years ago when it occurred.

Clinton (both), another old news story beaten to death and retired.

That all this old news (and yes we cared about it and talked about it on and on and one when it happened) is being dug up when we're talking about a present day situation is lame.

Did you vote for President?  Did you vote for either the Republican or Democrat person on the ticket?  If you did then having a dishonest candidate (surprise) doesn’t bother you.

Start with something simple like Wikipedia and then move on to things that are more factual and referenced.

It's best described as trolling... that's the intention. If the intention was discussion there would be... well, there would be discussion... and citations. That's all she's got... page after page, topic after topic, day after day... all she brings to the threads is this caliber of right wing rhetoric.

In your opinion... however, you are the member here defending liars and deflecting from their current lies... that makes your opinions about liars about as valuable as the opinions of the liars.

You should take your own advice... it would be refreshing to see a citation from you.

Some, not all, Republicans.

Quote

Donald Trump political adviser and Gettr CEO Jason Miller made his position on George Santos abundantly clear this week, calling for the Republican Party to dump the embattled congressman-elect.

[...]

“Get rid of this loser,” Miller declared in no uncertain terms. He also included the link to the Post’s article on Santos.

[...]

Unfortunately, the Republican leadership don't seem to agree.

Quote

[...]

The Republican Party and House GOP leadership has remained silent on the Santos controversy since it broke. As of writing, the congressman-elect still plans to take office.

Hopefully, they will come to their senses.
