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.

I'm certain they are the same in your mind given your current state of discernment. I'm guessing that you've just skipped over reading anything about the young grifter so you are just spitting out toxic rhetoric to see if there's anyone in this group wearing a Biden hat. Are you disappointed? Probably.  An actual nurse might be embarrassed to present such a delusional pov to the general public but shame and embarrassment aren't something experienced by people while they are still indoctrinated... that comes after they've come to their senses and realized that they were fooled. Although Trump and his sycophants definitely try to use shame to keep their support loyal to Trump and his ideas for his return to power... Trump thinks up names to call them when the generic RINO seems insufficient. 

You use the term thug life... how odd

I read the articles about him and the only trouble he might be in is campaign financing.  It’s up to the people of his district whether he gets re-elected or not. To complain about this guy when Democrats should of been doing opposition research is stunning.  The fascinating part is this guy used liberal woke ideology to get elected.  Pretty much comes down to better luck next time.

His failures.  

You mean like failure to build a border wall or get Mexico to pay for it?  Or failure like taking children away from their family at the border and then not managing to get them back together... ever? Or maybe failure like not containing the covid pandemic after telling the country it was just a few people and would go away by Summer? How about that ACA replacement that Trump promised... did he even articulate a replacement strategy before he caused tens of millions of Americans to lose insurance coverage during a pandemic? 

There are just so many Trump failures to mention... he's good at failing while convincing some that he's a genius.

Great article about how easy it is to dupe the left at their own game.

Ooohhh

So "the trouble" is what is important to you.  The fact that the GOP knew he was lying about his life and laughed about it doesn't matter to folk like you. We knew that already because y'all support Trump...a really famous liar and conman who is still conning the noncritical thinkers.

In the absence of honor the dishonorable will rise to prominence in a group. There's a couple generations of liars cheats and self serving charlatans in the GOP right now, the most dangerous is Trump. Santos is just a new conman who recognized the willingness of conservatives to believe whatever they are told by someone who calls themselves a conservative republican.

Democrats didn't vote for Santos... it was conservatives who were duped. Similar to the way millions of conservatives are still duped by Trump.

Deflecting from discussion of failure? You brought it up and I thought you wanted to talk about what obvious presidential failure looked like to the world.  Maybe you can't think of any Biden failures beyond troop withdrawal and immigration which have been discussed to death and point to failures in congress and the military. 

Come on... let's talk about failure at the chief executive level and what that REALLY looks like.

Not my district so I don’t really care.  Like Schumer said “we won”.  Better luck in two years and maybe Democrats learned a lesson about vetting candidates better.  Sorry no do overs get over it.

Really?  Did you poll the district personally?  You got duped by your own woke policies deal with it.

Right. You don't really care... except you care enough to TRY to pin this dishonest republican politician and his gullible voters who were happy to believe what the local Republicans knew wasn't true on the opposition.  You care enough to make that convoluted attempt. 

You must care at least some to experience such a childish reaction to my comment about the fact that Santos is a republican who was elected by gullible republican voters while the local republican leadership laughed at the lies the fellow told. 

Again... it was republican voters who got duped. Is that reasoning too difficult for you or do you think that liberals elected the grifter?

It’s the old “see what you made me do!” excuse so beloved by abusers everywhere. Hard to believe that any grown-up of normal intelligence seriously believes that it’s the responsibility of democrats to vet a Republican candidate.

We’ve discovered a new term.  SDS Santos Derangement Syndrome.  You lash out at Republicans but in reality you are mad at Democrats because of their own incompetence.  Makes sense as so many of Biden’s appointees are incompetent why wouldn’t the DNC be just as incompetent on elections?

You mean you've made up another bullcrap "syndrome" to project the deep gullibility of MAGAphiles onto the rest of society...

Let's compare incompetence in presidential administrations... you seem to need some review.

We’re the ones laughing at liberals for their incompetence and stupidity during election time.  I seem to recall democrats being too stupid to figure out punch ballots in Palm Beach back in 2000.
