It's just really weird seeing how there were people fired for saying something about George Floyd, the outrage from one side from it, and now the complete opposite happening 5 years later.

The difference to me is the people doing it. I don’t recall anyone of any standing actually saying Floyd should have died from an unintentional overdose.

Here we have numerous college professors as an example or teachers in our communities openly condoning a political assassination.

If anyone was saying “good, kill all drug addicts!” In response to Floyd, I have no issue with them being fired. But outside of some random nobodies, I don’t recall that being an issue. Do you have any examples?

Do you honestly believe that one online survey is going to involve a large enough sample size, to reasonably conclude that it is an accurate representation of a population that includes at least 70 million people?

January 6 and the Republican Party denial of it and conspiracy theories for it (was really just the work BLM and ANTIFA, according to @W.TN.Orange Blood ) is highly relevant to any discussion concerning politically motivated acts of violence .... and how it is supposedly only a problem on the left. I understand you don't like talking about Jan. 6, but I'm going to talk about it anyway. You can ignore it, if you want.

The events at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,of which there is substantial video documentation, seem inconvenient to the belief that only one party is responsible for politically motivated violence in this country.

There is also the fact that those acts of violence/vandalism have been persistently denied by those on the right, especially on this forum.

The political destruction and violence has been in the billions of dollars. Not even in the same league.

We're taking the difference in a bag of golden flake peanuts and 3 course meal at a 3 Michelin star restaurant.

I couldn't stand Obama, I think.he did tremendous damage to this country that may never get fixed, (I'm sure you will disagree). I felt sorry for Biden, having a mother pass with Alzheimer's. My concern was who was running the country. I never had that much hatred in my heart. Never thought about posting vile stuff. Conservatives are not innocent but the liberals own the patent.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective. I believe there is more from the right.....ever since talk radio started up in the 80's.

Interesting data..........

How news influencers talked about Trump and Harris during the 2024 election

Most news influencers published posts about both candidates in summer and fall, and identical shares were more critical than supportive of each.
www.pewresearch.org www.pewresearch.org

Twice as many posts from news influencers about Harris were critical than were supportive (38% vs. 19%). In contrast, posts about Trump were more equally split (31% critical vs. 27% supportive).

But there was one other clear difference between left- and right-leaning news influencers: In general, right-leaning influencers tended to post more overall than left-leaning influencers. On average, right-leaning news influencers posted 183 times per week and mentioned Trump in 21 of those. Left-leaning news influencers posted 72 times per week on average and mentioned Harris in 12.

During the 2024 election season, the majority of posts by news influencers that mentioned either Trump or Harris were posted on X, formerly known as Twitter (79%). No other site produced more than 10% of posts by news influencers about either candidate.

Almost half of the posts on X that mentioned either candidate (48%) were posted by right-leaning news influencers, while only 28% came from left-leaning influencers.

The posts mentioning Harris on the site were more than twice as likely to be critical as supportive (38% vs. 17%). Posts mentioning Trump were more evenly split (28% critical vs. 27% supportive).

It actually is a useless poll.

Could you make the argument for assassinating Hitler and Mousseline in the beginning or height of their power?
Click to expand...
there are always arguments for or against anything. heck people choose to be Bama fans.

one major thing to consider with those is the butterfly effect. what happens if either is replaced by a worse individual who was a better leader. what if the ideology that took over was even worse. what happens if those countries turned communist, and instead of the USSR being weakened by Germany, they were joined by Germany.

also is murder really the only option if you are in a hypothetical getting to them before they went crazy? Maybe you make sure Hitler gets into Art School, or find someone else besides his cousin to bang him. maybe you go back and "fix" the treaty of versailles. heck maybe you go the opposite way and get Hitler started on meth even earlier so that he is completely crazy and unable to hold power by the early 1930s. the hypotheticals are endless.

Did they mean to spell it that way?

I deleted a post I had complaining about this.

some people/sites censor various words related to death. like spelling out "death" or "kill" or "shoot" isn't allowed. I am never sure if its a self censor thing, or a platform thing. either way I find it weird and probably more confusing than helpful.

Must be a franchise because this insane. He needs to retain an attorney ASAP.

He was the managing partner so he has a stack in the company. Don’t know what percentage. I guess if everything is true at the end he will probably have 100%

So Patel was right for the wrong reasons. He should take some pride in that.

he was right for the right reason. they had a suspect in custody, and said as much.

you are the one twisting "we have a suspect in custody" into "we 100% guarantee absolutely no questions asked have the killer in custody."

I agree too much is being made of that and think he ought to be relieved of his duties for other reasons.

But just to be clear, he said "we have the subject" in custody, which is more than "a suspect."

Fact is, he was at dinner tweeting and couldn't contain his excitement to get in on the media frenzy.
