The Donald vs Big Tech

[astfgyl]

I thought the sole purpose of it was to ensure he couldn't run again in 2024, but the ones pushing it didn't think it through.

I see the supreme court is to decide on some cases of election fraud this week. Another thing should be left off due to the now pointless nature of it.

He was impeached though agreed?

[astfgyl]

Yeah agreed. Twice. I reckon both impeachments had the opposite effect from what was intended and if anything made him more popular among his supporters but yeah he holds that less than proud record

Funny thing about that is all the comments below about how it is being used out of context, which it is, but then the same people call trump racist for his comments which were also taken out of context. Some dopey bastards the lot of them on both sides.

Anyway, this was also funny: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/coca-cola-racism-robin-diangelo-coke-b1806122.html%3famp

Especially when viewed in light of the second result when searching "racist coca cola"..

Or can they?? https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/fanta-our-favourite-bright-orange-drink-with-a-dark-past-7f3224d23b6a

Should have given the race training its own product to associate with

tangentially related to the idea of Trump vs media/tech.

FBI chap questioned about how many guns were seized during the armed insurrection in January.

"To my knowledge, none." says the lad. You wouldn't think it from the media coverage.

Without downloading that link, how many armed villains are we talking about?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It's court proceedings for only one case, so there one, but there were several other court proceedings brought for weapons possession. The other thing is that, in the US, "seizing of weapons" is hardly a meaningful criterion for anything; the second amendment bro!!

I know man, crazy country. You can open carry firearms in some states but gawd forbid you get caught with a wee bag of weed.

Did you actually read that before you posted it?

During the evening of January 7, 2021, FBI Agents determined that MEREDITH was
staying at the Holiday Inn located at 550 C Street SW, Washington, DC. Agents made contact
with MEREDITH in his hotel room and he granted consent to search his hotel room, his Ford
truck, a Spartan trailer that can attach to the truck, and his mobile telephone.

By consent, agents searched MEREDITH's trailer, and saw a Glock 19, nine millimeter
pistol, a Tavor X95 assault rifle and approximately hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The trailer
was seized and a full search will be performed.

So was it at the Capitol insurrection or was it at the hotel? He may indeed have intended to bring his guns, but they were not seized at the Capitol on the 6th.

TBH I was surprised myself at the chap saying no guns were seized because I was almost certain I remembered pics of lads with guns, but here we are.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The main objection about how the insurrection was handled is that there was really no presence of law enforcers there on the 6th capable of seizing anything. Another reason it's kind of a non-starter as a point.

[astfgyl]

Nice sidestepping there. I simply quoted whatsisname saying no guns were seized to highlight the sensationalist and biased nature of the reporting around the insurrection, and you showed that he got it wrong by linking a court document that doesn't support what you said. It's like that story about the cop being done in with a fire extinguisher that was reported everywhere which still hasn't been proven in spite of the fact that he has already been cremated. Anyone can see that the reporting is terribly partisan.

There's an enquiry of sorts going on at the minute around the why of the lack of policing and troops on the 6th which might bring some clarity to that point but will probably just turn into a blame game.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It's not side-stepping. It's asking the question, "What meaning does it have to state that no guns were seized on the day of an insurrection that was glaringly under-policed?" What meaning does it have for you? Apparently, to you, it means that the media have been exaggerating things. But it could equally well simply be yet another indicator that there wasn't enough immediate police presence to get a good idea of what the weapon situation was. And then, since carrying a concealed weapon is practically encouraged in the US, even if there were loads of people armed, it would have been difficult to seize their weapons had they been concealed. Again, what does it mean? Just whatever the person wielding the quote wants it to mean and nothing more.
