He is fun to watch when he is on.  I can agree that the mental game is more important than the physical game.   If he can't get that under control, then he may have topped out.   Boxers have to learn to control their emotions as their face is getting beaten in.   Wrestlers have to do the same.   If he can't do that against some opposition, I think he has limited himself where if were otherwise, the sky is the limit for him.   The mental game is so important.

That was pretty quick.    I am happy that a broadcast network takes the threat of losing its broadcast license seriously.   

Carr of the FCC cited this:

Carr has justified his hands-on approach by citing a 1934 law which states that “because a given broadcast network is granted airwaves to use exclusively as its own, it needs to operate in ‘public interest, convenience and necessity,” according to The WSJ.

Is misleading the public in the public interest, convenience and necessity?   I don't think so.   Kimmel made a statement, not an opinion.   He stated as fact that the shooter was maga because maga is doing everything they can to not have him be maga.   Well, the shooter is not maga.   If you don't know if the shooter is maga, don't say he is.   It's very simple.   Conjecture is not news.   But conjecture provided as truth and news is news and can mislead people into believing falsehoods.   That is not in the public interest, convenience, and necessity.  At least in my opinion.   

All Kimmel had to do was say this was his opinion, or this is satire, or a joke, and he probably would have been fine.   But he was too full of himself and has gotten away with this sort of thing for so long that he was not concerned with the truth of the matter because he didn't need to tell the truth before.   I think he, and ABC, have a different opinion now.

If Madison isn't having a problem, then I'm sorry to say your wish may not be granted.   If Madison is having a problem, if the feds come it will be to aid the locals so you'll be paying more for law enforcement in Madison than you normally would.

Sounds like Tyler’s roommate and “lover” Lance Twiggs has been moved to a safe space for his own protection.  Also sounds like the county sheriff has recommended that Tyler’s family stay out of the public eye and lay low for a long time.  Tifa Tyler obviously didn’t care about the effects his actions were going to have in those around him. 

I'm not so sure.   He did not think he would get caught.   He thought he was too smart for that.   And then drops his gun, and blabs all over the internet and allows his picture to be taken, so that he did just about everything possible to get caught all while thinking he outsmarted the authorities.   

Plus he did a good thing, how will he be caught for that?   So family and lover were not even a concern.   He was home free for a day.

You don't pay fed taxes?   We all pay for law enforcement unless it is not being done.  Which is the case in many big cities, Seattle and Portland included.

Didn't he say that it is the left is the party of murder?  I have seen this in various conservative media.

Did Trump send NG to Chicago?   That's the thread here.    But I'll open it up, did he send them to Memphis?   I heard interviews with people in Memphis saying if it will stop or reduce crime, bring them on.   When your politicians will not protect you, you will accept assistance from anyone willing to give it.   Even Trump.   

You know, it would be in everyone's best interest if they cleaned up their cities on their own and didn't wait for Trump to show them up and take away their votes by showing action works.   I don't think they are smart enough to think that through.   By saying NO to Trump, he will come with help and clean up the city and the people will be astounded and hopefully they will take action to stop this by voting the idiots out of office.   The Feds cannot take over continually.   It must be given back to the locals to continue the fix.   Again, if they fail that, I predict they will be voted out.   They should be.   City leaders that refuse to protect citizens from crime and violence don't deserve to be city leaders.

He should go on FOX and they ambush him with that.

You might want to rethink this line of thought.   It is not funny and it is quite rude.  It is not becoming.

Yes this can be applied horribly by either of the political spectrum.  The problem really isn't speculation, it is trying to pass off speculation as the real deal.   If you say you are speculating, then it is ok.   When you say he was maga when he wasn't, then that is speculation and  not saying so.   I don't think there is anything wrong with holding these media types to some level of honest reporting.   Ideally, the people would do that.   But it appears that does not happen.  

mspart

Boy, does this send a message!!   No more speculation, just the facts ma'am.

He was shot and killed while deflecting a question. 

So he deserved it because he deflected a question?  Or was the shooter there ready to kill him no matter what he said.   You make it sounds like if he had answered a questions with something different, Mr. Kirk would still be alive and well.

So who does the ‘assignment?’

I've wondered this as well.   Stem on the apple?   Male.   No stem on the apple?  Female.   It has been so since time immemorial.  It doesn't take a biologist to make this determination.   It just is, it is observable, it is not assigned.  My male dogs were misgendered as assigned at birth.   What?   That makes no sense.   Neither does it with regard to humans.

So we see the difference between the right and the left. 

Some unknown man in Minneapolis dies and the whole country goes up in flames.   A very well known conservative is shot to death and there is calm.   Which do you think will attract more people?

mspart

$205 is a sizeable amount.   Maybe don't film and broadcast ludicrous behavior.   Dang you mean there are consequences for behavior?   That's not what I have been told.   I thought I could do anything I like and not suffer any consequences.   

As a side note, is there anyone on here that thinks this person had any concern for someone on the right who got doxxed, ran out of town, etc.    What is good for thee is not good for me.   It's the same story in all these cases.   Entitled people thinking they can do anything they want surprised there is anger about the behavior.    

mspart

Agreed

The guy at the golf course:

• Past support for Trump: Routh stated in a 2020 social media post that he voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
• Disillusionment with Trump: He later publicly expressed radical disillusionment with Trump, stating in 2020, "we all were greatly disappointed and it seems you are getting worse and devolving".
• Donations to Democrats: Federal Election Commission records show he donated to the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue nearly 20 times between 2019 and 2020.
• Voting in the Democratic primary: North Carolina voter records show he voted in the Democratic primary election in March 2024.

So yes, years ago he supported Trump.   Then he didn't.   It seems safe to understand that he was supportive of Ds when he was ready to take the shot.

Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?

Correct, i don't think people in the US generally want to live in a theocracy.   That is better left for individual voluntary consideration.   But I think most people want to live in a well regulated society that is governed by timeless principles of individual liberty.  Those principles are espoused in the Constitution and Judeo/Christian thought.   

mspart

I saw a clip where the guy was asking if you would want to work with a person that celebrated the murder of an individual, may they be whoever they are.    Who wants to work next to someone like that?    For that reason, it may be that they should be fired.   Or you find another job.   It seems to me that the old school saying applies here:   If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.    Remember that?   Corallary is:  It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

In today's age of instant celebrity etc, we are encouraged to put our worst selves out there for everyone to see.   Perhaps it is time to rein that in.  Self control here would resolve a lot of these issues.   That goes against what is taught today, but like most things that have been true for centuries and millenia, they are still true today.

I have just one opinion and that is on just a few departments in the federal government.   

Justice dept employees should not be saying who is a liar, racist, etc.   If they do, they are showing their partiality and should not be employed in the justice giving arm of the government.   

State Dept employees should not be saying who is a liar, racist, etc.    If they do, they betray first principles of the establishment of the country.   They should offer no opinion on anyone since their purview is international.   And criticizing international actors is not the province of employees.   

In my opinion, criticizing Charlie Kirk undermines their ability to do their job as they are viewed as biased one way or the other.   I would say the same thing regarding AOC, Maddow, or other leftists.   They should not comment at all on anyone.

I don't really have an opinion about other departments but consider these thoughts probably apply to them as well.   But I am definite on these. 

mspart

Yes, this was a great tourny.  

mspart

Thanks.   Sounds like no excuse except he got beat.   It does happen, but seems weird for Spencer Freekin Lee.   Maybe he can lose the Freekin middle name  now.  

mspart

Why not?   If someone is stupid enough to post such stuff during work hours or on work stations etc, then that person is doing what he/she knows he/she should not be doing.   So let's assume not.  

mspart

He got beat bad.   Was he hurt?   This is just really odd.   I have not seen a topic on this so I thought I would start one.   Please excuse if this has been discussed somewhere else.   If so, point me to it or just say what happened.   It would be weird for him to meet a match  so much better than him like that, it seems that something must have been wrong.
