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.

Trump was charged, via 2 impeachments. He was not found guilty by the Senate, mainly along party lines. The senate voted to not even hear witnesses during the first impeachment trial. 

No charges were brought after the Mueller investigation due to a DOJ policy of not charging sitting Presidents. Mueller, did however, produce 37 indictments, and secured 7 convictions/guilty pleas. He also declined to exonerate Trump. He did find multiple episodes where Trump sought to impede investigations. 

In other words you got nothing on Trump.  What is this the 5000th time we heard that we got Trump now?

I was responding to another poster who has been claiming ad nauseam that Trump has never been charged. 

Trump himself claimed that he would be arrested on Tuesday. Was he lying?

Which years did democrats do that?  Please point me to the congressional committee(s) led by democrats that investigated "possible political persecution" in the department of justice (or other federal institution).  Which political establishment are you talking about? 

This sounds like something that Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity would say to their gullible viewers.  All belief with no actual evidence.  

Ummmm. The Jan.6 comitee, Russian collusion, impeachment..... now Stormy Daniel's..... again. 

Did your CNN videos forget to mention these? 

They have not investigated any political persecution or misuse of the justice department. They should. 

Justice  institutions are to be held with high accountability . They need to be non political and not engage or be a part of any political function. They should go through strict review to ensure there is no weaponization of any political person or party through the justice system. 

So, it is not a bad thing to ensure that the justice system is not corrupt. McCarthy seems to think so as well. 

Besides, if there is nothing then great! It's not like McCarthy will engage in multiple investigations over and over.

Jan. 6 committee--bipartisan--all witnesses were former Trump aides and or Republicans, other than the Capitol police who were actually injured. 

Russian interference investigation--special investigator, a registered Republican,  appointed by the Trump administration.

He hasn't been charged.  I say he hasn't been charged because, he has not. Yet you claim his guilt in the absolute. You speak as though he has been charged and found guilty.  So do many democrats.yet, no charges?

All resulting in no charges

No charges. As in zero charges.

We will have to see if Trump still has the power to incite violent behavior from his cult members that will be inspired to assemble on his call. Any time Trump speaks publicly there's his odds  that he's lying or attempting to manipulate those who are influenced by his words

Try again with that nonsense about protests and violence... see if you can't get some logic to flow through that thought process. 

What retribution is Trump talking about? What does revenge look like in a democracy?  We know what it looks like in authoritarian regimes but what do conservatives think that revenge looks like in a democracy? 

Well since we don't have a democracy in this country, which I learned in 3rd grade it's a non-question.

Yes. So no charges. Trump has no charges. Not guilty by the senate. No charges. 

All of these and.....wait for it..... no charges!! 

I think CNN has fooled you into thinking that the Jan.6 committee was non partisan! Loooool

Right? You think the worst terrorist attack in history incited by the most corrupt criminal POTUS neo- nazi would have at least one charge? Right? 

Either the DOJ is completely incompetent or possible complicit in political persecution? I came up with that myself. Tucker didn't tell me. 

In fact the idea came to mind while consuming left media.

Articles of impeachment are charges.

Or, they are doing a thorough investigation, making sure the evidence is airtight, before indicting. This is real life, not some fictional TV cop drama where everything is neatly tied up in an hour's time.

Nah... fascism is an example of right wing extremism.  You can keep trying to change that reality but it just reflects poorly on your understanding of the term.  

Funny that someone who has referenced TDS might think they should comment on a term like MAGAphile. I guess if conservatives can make up a mental health syndrome to try to insult Americans who can see Trump's corruption and lies, some liberals can make up a term to describe the Trump loving crowd. 

Here's the thing, sworn testimony in a deposition IS evidence and depositions matter a great deal in a legal case.  Yes, you can allow your personal bias to influence how you interpret those sworn depositions... or you can just read them and take them at face value.  Yeah... the Dominion/Fox case has started, that's why legal filings have been made public and we can read portions of the depositions. That seems obvious unless you think that a legal case only starts when it gets to a courtroom. 

Except I did not refer to TDS. Yes, if Republicans can do something then democrats can do it too. But but its worse when republican do it. 

Yeah. I tend not to come to conclusion until all the facts are known. Or until charges are placed and then even until it is proven in a court of law. Must be my right etreem FOX propaganda brainwashing that demands facts and evidence. 

I must be really brainwashed because I expect investigations to produce charges. Especially ones that are so clean cut!

Or they are trying to come up with any tactic imaginable to prevent their worst nightmare from occurring again? They really fear another 2016. 

There is not even anywhere near air tight evidence now or ever. If there was, they wouldn't be bringing a long dead disgruntled Media star grievance back in the picture. 

Until there is charges. There is nothing.
