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.
Well...MaybeeRN mostly just trolls and that's what trolling intends... to make actual discussion difficult if not impossible.
Not to deteriorate further, but there are plenty of examples of you deflecting off topic to Trump and going on a rant about grifters, blah blah blah. when we weren't even talking about Trump. And when I've called you out, you've said the same thing about pointing out hypocrisy. It's tiring.
I'm sure I might be guilty too. But it would be nice to have a conversation or just not comment at all. Really the Santos situation is worth noting but not much discussion but no, we have to go on a tangent and get all cross with each other.
Just so that I'm clear here, there is no need to question a politician's stated background, because Biden grossly exaggerated his academic achievements 44 years ago, Mrs. Clinton's achievements as a lawyer, senator and secretary of state were directly a result of her husband, and Mr. Clinton got caught having an affair.
I should think republicans would welcome scrutiny of their candidates so they don't get trapped supporting white supremacists, or antisemites or film flam men. I mean, if someone I was planning to vote for turned out to be a serial con man, I would like to know before I donated money or voted for them.
What liberal outlets ever criticize a Democrat except Tulsi Gabbard? AOC is one of the dumbest politicians ever elected but the media fawns over her. Bill Clinton an accused rapist and known womanizer is revered in the Democrat party. So either you don’t know or don’t care about your own house before and yet you complain about others. Democrats should of done their due diligence and vetted Santos. Your Party’s stupidity and faux outrage is not the Republican’s problem. Elections have consequences as does lack of vetting. It’s like Schumer said after he lied about Romney. “We won didn’t we.”

"Liberal outlets" aren't going to focus on Republicans. Same as right wing media focuses on Biden. DUH. But a Google search will reveal that mainstream media doesn't give Democrats a pass, but perhaps they don't get as outraged as you'd like.
Bill Clinton is not "revered". AOC is not one of the dumbest politicians ever elected. Your petty faux outrage reminds me I'm incompatible with this forum at the current time.

That’s just it. I’m not outraged. It’s the liberals that are unhinged. And you’re right AOC is smarter than Nancy Pelosi. And yes the Clintons are revered. I remember when the press were all about character not mattering when it was their guy running.

Happy New Year. I'm done.
Yeah... when Trump supporters ignore Trump's lies, law breaking and incompetence for 4+ years and then all of a sudden want to talk about their perception of the honesty of others I'm going to call them out for their personal inconsistency and inability to discern actual dangerous lies from Trump while whining about something that is comparatively inconsequential.
It is tiring.
Trump supporters have no credible basis or foundation from which to point fingers at the honesty or integrity of another. None. It's just more grievance from the right wing... grievance is what motivates social conservatives. The more they rely upon social media and right wing nonsense, the less they participate in discussion and the more they treat these threads like social media comment sections... all vitriol and acerbic opinion but little in the way of facts or evidence.
Yes... the trolling makes people cross... that's what it's intended to do.
The Santos situation is worth talking about. I think it represents a trend of dishonesty and grifting in Republican politics. Do you agree? We can talk about this important example even if some don't want us to.

Again nothing but your opinions. You got one guy to talk about while we have exponentially more corrupt Democrats that liberals care nothing about. I’ll take Trumps supposed lies over a racist, lying, pedophile like Joe Biden. Of course that’s my opinion based on the evidence I have seen about Uncle Joe. But I would certainly get my own house in order befits I complain about someone else’s.

Every media outlet that I visit and read has been critical of liberals. Your opinion of AOC is expected and is disconnected from reality. You could share some of the reporting that makes you believe AOC is stupid.
Bill Clinton is revered? Bwahahaha
Did Tucker tell you that or was it Sean? Is that why people have shirts and hats and flags with Clinton's name on them and they have parades and rallies and stuff? Oh wait. LOL. I'm going to guess that if Republicans want to admire Trump's presidency then it's OK for Democrats to admire Clinton's fiscal policy and presidency. It is there a double standard?
Democrats didn't run Santos. Republicans should have done something about Santos’s lies beyond just laughing and joking about the con.
Yours is an interesting projection of party stupidity and inability to vet a candidate... Democrats didn't elevate the grifter and didn't vote for him... you are trying to project the conservative stupidity and it's not going well for you. There's a list of grifters elevated by conservatives into political positions across the country right now...a number of the charlatans are even members of congress. But sure, blame those liberals for not educating the conservatives... as if conservatives go to liberals for their information on candidates...LOL.

I am not a democrat, so I don't feel obligated to get my own house in order. AOC is not dumb. I do believe that Bill Clinton is or was a womanizer, and that makes me uncomfortable. I have heard him speak twice and he does have a sort of charisma. I have read that Trump has the the same effect.
I don't understand why it is up to the democrats to vet a candidate from the opposing party.
I also think that Mr. Santos is worth investigating.
I am seeing stories that Santos received financial backing from Russian oligarchs.
As I said before, someone who lies to the extent that Santos does, certainly would have no problem being a criminal. I am waiting for other media to give this story legs besides The Daily Beast where I read it. I don't know if Santos will represent the Queens district where Trump grew up but he seems crazy enough to have made this his goal in life. Republicans voted for an insane person.....again.

If only there was evidence to support your belief that democrats are "exponentially more corrupt" than Trump (the lying king) and the newest liar (Santos) to fabricate a narrative that would tickle the ears of social conservatives. Unfortunately, you can't find any evidence of that so we're just left with your deeply flawed opinion.
That's great advice... maybe Republicans should get their own house in order relative to honesty, integrity or ethics before deciding to point out the lapses in honesty integrity or ethics by others... particularly in the era of Trump (and Santos and MTG and Walker and Lake...etc). Trump is the example of corrupt, dishonest and incompetence in modern politics. Let us know when the GOP gets that mess in order, will you?

Oh, no, according to at least one poster here, democrats need to not only get their own house in order, but also vet candidates for the opposing party. And solve worldwide inflation. And the border crisis that has been growing for decades, without a majority in the house and dealing with the filibuster.

Did he get a bunch of money from China? Oh wait wrong party. Did he help get Chinese satellites in orbit when they were unable on their own? Ooops wrong party again.
