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.

But but her "observations"...hahaha

Clearly, most Trump supporters depend upon carefully curated video clips and commentary to reach their conclusions.  But they think that's free thinking.

No, it's a talking point.  I expect you to misrepresent Biden's capacity while ignoring Trump's incoherent and dangerous craziness. You share that tendency to speak nonsense about Biden with your guy Trump. 

Isn't it interesting that so many of Trump's cabinet won't endorse him and say he shouldn't be reelected? Maybe you don't find that interesting.

Kind of like the video clips curated from their entirely?  Like the "good people on both side" and forgetting to include "peacfully and patriotically make their voices heard"? 

Or more recently "terminate " the constitution.. "?  LOL

How do you carefully curated someone shaking hands with imaginary people?  Or coming up with ridiculous stories about cannibals, being arrested during the Civil.rights era' and "driving a 18 wheeler? Or wiping oil of the windshield in Deleware? 

Oh and the numerous videos of him sniffing at small children? How do you "curate" that? Hahahahaha

We know that you don't have any idea what Trump said apart from what your media tells you.  That makes it easier for you to ignore the despicable or un-American things he says and pretend like there's some balance.

Clearly, your media choices have been successfully convincing you of nonsense to secure votes for Trump. That content that convinces you to vote for the guy who mismanaged a pandemic and tried to break our democracy doesn't even need to be clever or sophisticated if what you've repeated here is any clue as to what you consume. 

Let's add  "curate" to the list of things and words that confuse you.

WHO do you think is attempting to terminate the constitution?  Do you think this is hysteria?  What attracts you to the "good people on both side" comment?  Do you think the context changes anything?  There is a reason why Rex Tiller changed his evaluation of him as being more than merely nuts.  Tillerson, despite being a religious fanatic, was naive in thinking he could accomplish anything and I believe that he really tried.  The only other cabinet member that was surprisingly not a grifter or a crazy person, was Steve Mneuchin.  He actually KNOWS how to run a business in his non-political life and recognized an employer who's cognition was already on the slippery slope down.

Yes because after "good peo0le on both sides" followed with " not the neo-nazis or white supremist, they should be condemed totally". All the left media left the last part out. 

So yeah, the context does change it. Drastically.  With out the latter, it seem he was calling mazi and white supremist good people. ...

No, the context doesn't change.  Good people don't say what he said. You simply ignore that and make excuses. 

It's not hard at all.  You express an opinion of our president which has no basis in fact and is contradicted by lots of publicly available evidence that Biden is an old man with a quick and sharp mind and lots of political experience.

Who were the good people on the "other side?"  The one that was wasn't that ran a car into a bystander?Why would anyone share their side with a neo-nazi if they weren't stupid or bad people?

There were regular non violent protesters. Some wanted to keep the monuments some wanted it gone. Both sides had good people who disagreed with eachother. 

Wanting to preserve monuments is not the same as nazi. 

Then there were the neo nazi and supremist.  Not good people. And nobody knew the guy was going to run over a bystander.  

However the focus was on how left media forgot to add in the condemnation
