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.

Holy cow what?  Help us out here.

Barr summed up a lot of things pretty well.

And all the interviewer had to go to was Trump is evil for this, evil for that...blah blah.  Like here, can't come up with reasons to vote for Biden except to say he's not Trump.

 

"Trump shouldn't be near the oval office" but will vote for him over Biden. Barr would rather have a "liar, innserectionist......." run the country than a most likely, man in cognitive decline.... LOL

Holy cow is an exclamation about Barr shamelessly supporting the guy that he said was deeply flawed and unqualified for the presidency, the guy he said was lying about the 2020 election, the guy that Barr said wouldn't deliver conservative policy but chaos instead. This is what a cult looks like when it's pretending to be a political party.  The lying and misinformation is shameless.  

What are the reasons for Barr to vote for Trump? Must be that the reason to vote for Trump is that he's not Biden.  Barr has listed a number of specific reasons that Trump shouldn't be reelected since 2021. Barr predicted Trump would abuse the powers of the presidency if elevated again, last December.  He will tolerate public mocking and name calling from Trump, and still vote for him.  It's shameless.  

Are you not aware of the things that Barr has said about Trump in previous interviews? 

I don't think he supports Trump but has the understanding that between the two, Trump is more cognitively aware. Barr is in a position that many other Americans are. Too bad the democrats couldn't have overcome the desire to keep their puppet. May cost them the election.

"Most likely" in cognitive decline versus IS a dangerous extremist who sent a mob to the Capitol after he lost an election to stop a steal that was entirely fabricated.  Biden's SOTU speech didn't sound too demented.

Most likely is better that saying 100% in cognitive decline. Unfortunately for democrats most reasonable people see it as well. One could argue allowing this is senior abuse. 

I wonder how much cognition it took for Trump to get a mob to storm the capital by telling people to "peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard"? Thats some evil genius stuff right there! 

Biden shakes hands with people who are not there. Tells fabricated stories he actually thinks is true. He stumbles his words and has poor mobility. Trump is a liar. 

Voting for a "liar......." Trump is more reasonable than voting for Biden. Apparently Barr thinks so. I wonder how many other Americans share the same belief? Guess we'll see in the next most "free and fair election in US history"  this. November.

It sure is better.  Projection and speculation are always better than claims without actual evidence in this Trumpian era of American "conservative" politics. 

Nah, Trump's lies and violent rhetoric about the 2020  don't rise to a standard of evil genius. That's cute though.  Like Trump is a cartoon caricature of a bad guy.  

Yes. Barr said that Trump was unfit for office and then changed his mind. He couldn't even say that he was changing his mind because of polucy because Barr said Trump won't execute conservative policy, he said he'd bring chaos. It's just evidence of the power of a cult. 

Yes.  We will be reminded over and over that even before Trump tried to overthrow an election he was unable to win a popular vote and then we'll go to the polls to repeat that rejection.  

You'll go to the polls and vote for the guy who lied to you about a pandemic and tried to break your constitution.

Sure. As of there isn't very clear evidence of Trump's mental illness and malignant narcissism.  The projection  works for gullible people.  

Only one of the candidates tried to overthrow a election.  Faketriots don't care about that stuff.

I think people would rather have someone who can conjure up a lie than a person who doesn't know where he is. Mental illness and narcissisim is not directly related to cognition.  

Yes. Trump told them to peacefully overthrow an election. 

I wouldn't pick Trump as my candidate but I cannot vote Biden. I do not think I'm alone. The Barr effect is real.

Your point is valid.

At the same time, this situation shouldn't have been left to fester as long as it has.

 

 

True. A body gets tired of being bullied.

If you repeat lies often enough, foolish people will believe them.  Biden knows exactly where he is, he's in the highest political office in the nation.  

Thank you for you deep insights into mental illness and cognition.  Unfortunately, the candidate that you prefer has noticeable evidence of both mental illness and cognitive decline, have you been able to identify the evidence? 

It's not the Barr effect, it's the propaganda (some of it from Russia) that has American republican voters convinced of some things about Biden and liberals so that they'll elect the guy that will harm this democracy.  

Propaganda works.  You are evidence.

Didn't Biden say he was running for the United States Senate during his 2020 campaign?  LOL Looks like he might think he's a US senator

Uh yes. Russia! Always Russia.  

Good thing the democrats are free of propaganda. The party know for never using political tactics and/or propaganda. The beacon of truth and virtue. Hopefully the American people in absence of democrat propaganda will vote Biden back in. 

Sometimes it's not "propaganda " People see that Biden is not 100% cognitively there. The Russians can't make people see through their own eyes.

Pretending that Russia isn't targeting American conservatives with divisive propaganda is just silly.  Even republican politicians are repeating Russian propaganda.  There's even a republican senate report about the Russian propaganda and the 2016 election cycle that was released in July of 2020, remember?  

Yep, people see that Biden is old, but effective and he is not telling lies about election security while accomplishing some important work for We the People. People also see that Biden's opponent is the same fellow that lied to them about a pandemic, the same fellow that abused his power in office, lied about the 2020 election and sent an angry mob to the Capitol to stop the steal. The same guy who talks about retribution and suspending parts of the constitution that are inconvenient for him. 

Biden is old. Biden's opponent is also old and he's a delusional malignant narcissist and sociopath who tried to overturn election results to retain lost power. The Russians have been successful at convincing people like yourself that all of that (and that's not even close to all of the disqualifying realities of Trump) is perfectly fine.  Is that what you are talking about when you talk about seeing things through their eyes?
