Gambino family boss Francesco “Frankie Boy” Cali was shot dead outside his Staten Island home. That might sound like a normal morning in Staten Island, but this was the most high-profile mob killing since 1985. Naturally, the death sparked a media frenzy, with fears that a new Mafia war could erupt. But the truth turned out to be much weirder. The dude was killed by a QAnon believer. Anthony Comello pulled the trigger for reasons that would require several skeins of red string to explain, but we’ll try to give you the gist. QAnon holds that President Trump is waging a secret war against an elite conspiracy of high-ranking cannibalistic pedophiles, but he needs the public’s help, which is why one of his allies posts regular anonymous updates as “Q.” Logical enough, right? So what did Cali supposedly have to do with any of this? It’s not clear! Comello somehow identified him as a member of the “deep state” and decided to perform a citizen’s arrest. He’d tried that before with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who famously snatches children while swooping over the city on leathery bat wings, and Maxine Waters, a dangerously violent criminal mastermind cunningly disguised as an elderly politician. None of those attempts worked out, but Comello hadn’t succeeded at doing anything illegal yet, so he was free to turn his attention on Frankie Boy, who lived near him. Frankie Boy, having no idea what was going on and having a certain set of conditioned responses, reached for his gun as Comello approached, so Comello shot him 10 times before fleeing. Thankfully, he was arrested before this could spark a mob war, but on the downside, this does leave us defenseless against Chuck Schumer’s legion of goat-masked death troopers.

I don't think that's possible.

Because the guy behind the billboard is mentioned several times in the article as being involved in the legal process to challenge the election, which has been litigated 50+ times but nobody can find any actual evidence of anything going on. It's all theoretical or made up. Try to keep up.

I really hope nobody assassinates him. But when you stir up shit like he does, then you might be the cause of your own problem by activating the crazies. If he died I wouldn't be sad exactly. I'd feel bad for his family. They aren't as good at grifting as he is.

Been seeing these billboards pop up around here. Fortunately you have to disclose who pays for this. Turns out it's a hard core righty named David Mast who believes in the "elections Republicans don't win are stolen" lie. https://azmirror.com/2023/08/28/the-az-supreme-court-rebuffed-2-more-requests-to-overturn-gop-losses-in-2022/ Guess they can't win on policy so they just make shit up.

I've never been able to figure out who "they" are exactly. Lizard people?

I don't think you are capable of a serious discussion on this.

Why do you have a fascination with trying to look intelligent?

That gives dingbats a bad name.

Just another angle for Trump to grift his idiot supporters.

He's a clown who lives on credit. Why do you think banks in the US stopped dealing with him?

Who said that?

You're goddamn right, then it's got nothing to do with the B-3 Bomber! There is no B-3 bomber. I just said that! There is no B-3 bomber, and I don't know why these rumors get started!

Just 400 million and the right people around you to make sure no matter what stupid ideas you have, you can't fail.

That doesn't mean anything. You just have the computer do it for you.

How can you have .52 of an All American?

Why doesn't Trump want anyone to see his bought and paid for grades from college? I don't think Trump ever started or completed any graduate degree. Harris has a JD, which anyone who's been around law school students will tell you, requires a ton of reading comprehension.

I don't think you know how to count.

Most news is written to be read by anyone with a 6th grade level of reading. So that's still beyond what Trump and a good number of his supporters are capable of.

Looks like mostly at ports of entry.

I have. It's still not what you think. I've been around the border more than most and I can say that of the times I've been there, there was only one time where I thought I saw somebody hoofing it across the desert. A lot of people don't know it, but just to the west and north of Organ Pipe National Monument, is an air Force testing range. People on foot run the extreme risk of being killed by target practice or unexploded ordinance by walking through there. That shrinks the passable area from the border significantly. So that shifts things to the East of Lukeville and onto relatively flat and open ground until you get to interstate 8, which is roughly 100 miles. I've been all through there at all hours and have never seen anything resembling some massive hoard of people on foot. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Why Albania? Why not? What have they done to us? What have they done FOR us? What do you know about them? Nothing. See? They keep to themselves. Shifty. Untrustable.

If anyone thinks there is a problem at the border, go visit it in person and see. It's not some lawless hell scape. I was just in Nogales a few weeks ago. Same as always. No shootouts with the cartels. BP has their checkpoints along the highway. It's really not what you think it is.

I went to one once. Once. Left early. Almost got tear gassed outside. The police who did it ended up being investigated for provoking people who were doing nothing but protesting.
