AG Barr Speaks About the Domestic Terrorist Assault on America

It's here, if you want to watch.

If you don't want to watch, treat this as an open thread and talk about whatever you like. I ain't your daddy.

I mean, I assume I'm not your daddy. But who knows. It's a crazy world.

8 I can't even imagine the feelings going through someone's head that wants to join the police force.

And be used as a tool by coward politicians? Have hate heaped on you by the public? Have your every action turned into a sound bite and next 'viral' sensation?

Who needs that? Who wants that?

146 I'll flat out say that at this point, I don't think we have anything left. I think of what it must have been like to have been a Roman as the Visigoths sacked Rome, of a Byzantine as Constantinople fell to the Ottomans, of the English who watched their globe spanning empire recede into the sunset. That does not mean I will not do what I can, but I do not believe in any way that what I can do will accomplish anything against the array of forces that stand against us. It has made me physically ill this week, seeing the insurrectionists literally tear down this nation's foundation.

The George Floyd incident could have led to proper reform, one that the vast majority of Americans could have agreed upon, working together to do so. But the coup must override everything. And with the entire weight of the establishment behind it, with so many of our former fellow citizens either in open support or in submission to it, I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. I will still vote, no matter what the obstacle but what good does it do if the left gets five(illicit) votes to my one?

The America I loved is dead, and I will mourn it for as long as I yet live. I still believe the founding principles are unmatched in human history in their promise and their rightness, no matter how flawed the application has been through the years. I'll take care of my family as best as I can, I'll never bow down to anyone else's demands, even if I pay a price for it, and I fully expect that I will, sooner than later. The enemy is as a roaring lion, seeking what it may devour.

Playing behind the fence was a blonde toddler girls and her white leftist mother.

I came THIS CLOSE to having the following exchange with her:

"Is your child white?"

"WHAT?!?! Who are you???"

"Your child looks white. She's blonde. You're white."

"And...?"

"So -- her life doesn't matter? Your sign says only Black Lives Matter."

"I'm calling 911."

"You're summoning the racist police? Remember --we're not suppose to do that. Besides since your daughter's life doesn't matter to you, why call the police?"

"Of course her life matters. All lives matter."

"YOU SAID 'ALL LIVES MATTER'!!! That's a white-racist code phrase! You are a white supremacist!!!"

But of course I didn't have that conversation. Because I'd be in jail now.

184 158 Ok, here is what I think of First Contact v Wrath of Khan.

Shut Up.

Ok, First Contact seems to be a movie designed around one liners and set pieces. Work on the dish. Picard in the Ready Room. The Cringeworthy Data griting out the Borg catchphrase. Everything else is just filler.

Wrath of Khan is of a piece. A story that has awesome moments, not 'awesome moments' with story filler.

Kind of an argument that you could make about a lot of movies.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at June 04, 2020 01:01 PM (A5zUN)

========

I don't think that First Contact is disjointed. There's a very clear line of thinking about vengeance and acceptance that runs through both Data and Picard's story. The B-story stuff doesn't really touch on the A-story stuff (another annoying thing about the movie, that it does the TNG A/B plot stuff), but it does provide entertainment and a solid setting for the meat of the story.

It's not a perfect film at all, but I think there's a lot to like there.

Now look at Wrath of Khan.

-vengeance and Ricardo Montalban. Essentially showing how a man of considerable gifts is completely destroyed by setting his feet upon the path. This thread also includes the idea of unintended consequences and not following up for Kirk.

-Kirk getting old (or at least feeling that way) and coming to grips with it.

-Loss. Real loss (that was undone at the end of the next movie, not undercut in the moment.)

-aside from those, there are no side plots with Scotty trying to get his still working again or Chekov trying on new wigs. There is no B story line, really to act as filler.

path. This thread also includes the idea of unintended consequences and
not following up for Kirk.

-Kirk getting old (or at least feeling that way) and coming to grips with it.

-Loss. Real loss (that was undone at the end of the next movie, not undercut in the moment.)

-aside from those, there are no side plots with Scotty trying to get
his still working again or Chekov trying on new wigs. There is no B

309 That mini-trilogy, pretty much made on accident, made up of three complete stories, should be a template for how franchise movies make series of films.

I mean, if II was the end of it, we'd want Spock back, but it still felt like an actual ending. If III was the end of it, we got Spock back! If IV were the end of it, we got the Enterprise back!

323 I found out how useless and clueless the GOP in the rural areas can be when they still fielded Corbet for Pennsylvania's Governor. Mostly cause he was the incumbent and they were too lazy to come up with someone better than he was.

He was such a loser it's amazing he won the first time. Mostly cause Ed Rendell had worn out his welcome and I think folks were beginning to see thru the Light Bringer.

So they put this old foagie up against a Philly lawyer and Boom. More voters than registered voted in some Philadelphia precincts!!!!!! What a surprise.

And Corbet was such a loser the farmers didn't bother to go into town to vote for him.

And now this Bastard has killed the seniors in the LTC's here to the tune of being 69% of the total of deaths for the state. Almost as bad as New York.

Extraordinary comments just now from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) who tells us Mattis' words were "true, honest, necessary and overdue." Says she's struggling with the question of whether to support Trump in 2020.

"Perhaps we're getting to the point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally, and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up," Murkowski tells us.

"I am struggling with it. I have struggled with it for a long time...I think right now as we are all struggling to find ways to express the words that need to be expressed appropriately, questions about who I'm going to vote for not going to vote for I think are distracting."

Posted by: ... at June 04, 2020 01:12 PM

After reading ace's previous post, it struck me that President Trump has done all of us a huge favor. He has shined the light on every last cockroach in our society.

From the Deep State to the media to Hollywood to tech companies to the domestic terror groups like Black Lives Matter and antifa.

Every single last one of their corrupt, evil agendas and agents have been exposed for all the world to see.

We all now have a simple decision to make in November:

--- Will we vote to re-elect the person who revealed all this to us and work with him the next 4 years to once again Make America Great Again?
--- Or will we vote him out of office and choose to side with Left and this new normal

I think President Trump and his administration have done their job in exposing the rot in this country and have put the solution in the hands of We, the People.

He has shown he will fight for us and for America. And he has exposed all the internal enemies for us to see with eyes wide open.

In November, we will all find out if we live in an America where people are repulsed by what they see and want to go to 'war' with President Trump against these internal enemies or if we live in an America where people want to bend the knee to our enemies.

***************************

Remember that time everyone lit their hair on fire when it was being reported from anonymous sources that Trump was "betraying his base" and was cutting a deal with Schumer and Pelosi on DACA, and that turned out to be NOT TRUE?

In fact, the only thing DACA related was not a deal Schumer and Pelosi wanted, but an offer Trump knew they would reject because it was conditioned on wall funding. People lit their hair on fire over that too, but it turned out Trump used the Dems rejecting it to "declare' an emergency and get money for the wall from other places.

When are people going to learn that there are some media who act "Trump-friendly" but are really psy-ops?

Because a lot of idiots keep getting played by the same people with the EXACT same "reports."

This report is happening NOW because the left is trying desperately to depress Trump's base.

And since I'm here: remember when those same people reported Trump was "betraying his base" and was sending 50,000 ground troops to Syria? People lit their hair on fire about that one too and again, turned out to be bulls**t.

378 "Perhaps we're getting to the point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally, and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up," Murkowski tells us.

"I am struggling with it. I have struggled with it for a long time...I think right now as we are all struggling to find ways to express the words that need to be expressed appropriately, questions about who I'm going to vote for not going to vote for I think are distracting."

looting and destroying property as a means of protest

76% disapprove

minneapolis police precinct being burned down

22% justified

65% not justified

you can guess why all is quiet. If they start talking about other things, like how hard it is to open up business after WuHu, you know why, and you know that they acknowledge that their insurrection was a major mistake.

THIS. The reason that the left believes what it does and has such Trump Derangement Syndrome is because they believe every soundbite the press publicizes. They accept as gospel every truncated recording and video, every half-assed mis-quote or outright lie. They swallow them like candy. They are truly convinced that they have cornered the market on what is the truth. Remember what Poe said, " Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see."

He also sees how the democrat party is mostly women and soi-boys, filled with hate but incompetent in actual fighting. Their current leader is an elderly, handsy dementia patient.

He is angling to be their strong man. He has wargamed this out, and if he can kneecap Trump, he sees his chance.

This really is their hail-Mary pass. Literally throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. I think all of it is going to backfire, and in spectacular fashion. Especially as we learn the plague wasn't. Even people that hate Trump probably aren't going to get the warm and fuzzies knowing their business was collateral damage to take out POTUS.

I think there's going to be some amazing changes in many local elections, mail-in voting or no.

It would be interesting to see how this would work out. I went to a Communist Party meeting once (long story, ironic) and the patchouli long haired guy seemed to think that communities would do a bang up job policing themselves and everything would be peaceful and happy!

It was weird, because he was reading from a script and never looked up from it.

"In November, we will all find out if we live in an America where people are repulsed by what they see and want to go to 'war' with President Trump against these internal enemies or if we live in an America where people want to bend the knee to our enemies."

Bin Laden was right about one thing. If people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they will go with the strong horse. As things stand right now America's internal enemies are the strong horse. The only way Trump can win, and it could be by a large margin, is to make the domestic terrorists the weak horse. He's capable.

518 Thoughts and observations:

Big Blue Governors and Mayors will collectively realize they can blackmail corporations and national organizations to do things, by all threatening to withhold property protection during large, multi-city riots.

Abolishing a city police department does not mean abolishing policing. I'll bet it will be proposed to replace city-wide police forces with Community Peace Forces. The City Council and Mayor will divide the city into "communities." You can easily guess how those communities and their Peace Forces will be run in many areas.

Esper, Mattis, and other traitors are signaling to unit commanders that it's OK to disobey POTUS orders they personally consider un-Constitutional or ill-advised. If an Army battalion or brigade refuses to load-up and go to a city to quell riots, and other units refuse to dis-arm and arrest them, that's the end of the USA.

Devil's Advocate - when you combine this with shooting of Justine Diamond last year, Minneapolis is the only City in the country where 2 cops have been charged with the murders of unarmed civilians in consecutive years, with multiple other police officers involved.

The Minneapolis PD is a seriously F'd up department. I actually think it could be a good thing to totally abolish the current department, fire EVERYONE, and rebuild it from the ground up with all new people. We forget that this was done to the New Orleans PD in 2005 - 2006, and it worked. (that's why the National Guard had to provide police duties for nearly 18 months)

523 I am completely over all of this. No more sympathy, empathy or give-a-shits. George Floyd a black was killed by a white cop. A cop that clearly deserves to be prosecuted and the other 3 idiot cops that let it happen need to be charged too. So let it be done. Amazing how our entire country is mourning poor George who really hasn't done anything amazing or noteworthy in his life. The entire media is whipping up "our race problem" non-stop. Police and Sheriff departments all over the Country are now having to act like they've done something wrong that they need to atone for.
Having Mattis and Murkowski come out and slam the President is so over the top that it's shocking.
This is a coup. The Deep State and Foreign Govts are in this together and have opened the door to the anarchists to help them out. I am not a conspiracy nut but all of this is so over the top. Russia, Impeachment, Covid, Race riots, members of a Presidents own party condemning his handling of crisis. They hate us all.

*************************
Combo of reasons, imo.

1. Many people on places like this are MOBYs not actually on our side, feeding the rest of us psy-ops with their "concern." The Left has several organized troll farms (Media Matters, Share Blue, etc)

2. The left base is composed exclusively of sheep. Or call it "hive mind" whatever. These are people who are incapable of thinking for themselves. That is why they can believe, simultaneously, that Trump is a #bunkerbitch coward *and* a strong-arm tyrant without seeing the inconsistency. The right, otoh, and tbt, have a mix of people, some are sheep though or have sheep tendencies.

3. The sheer volume of propaganda from the left can wear anyone down from time to time.

There are probably more reasons, but those 3 are definitely some.

Right now he seems to think he's a Sunday-school teacher. Today he went on forever about the evils of racism, and then had hardly any time left so he regaled us with examples of how Rod Rosenstein is a snake! DUHUUUUH! Wow, what revelations!

I watch him mostly for his usually excellent insights that tie together the threads of various news stories about politics and the coup against Trump, not to hear him bloviate about social issues, especially racism! My give-a-shit meter on racism is pegged on "I FUCKING DON'T..." and even if it wasn't, I'd go somewhere else to hear about it anyway!!

When you claim to have five stories and only cover 1.5 of them, that means you're running your mouth too much, Dan-O !!

530 @509:

Mattis is afraid Trump will stop the blood sacrifice of young American men in Afghanistan and he and his patrons will lose an income stream that is vital to their gravy train. It's no more complicated. Trump needs to pull those troops out ASAP and deploy them to New York and D.C. Maybe have one of them frag Esper while here.

Star Treks II, III, and IV (the mini trilogy) are really the best of what Trek is. TWoK is the best of the films.

I've never really liked IV. It's a re-do of The Motion Picture but
with silly comedy elements. I think the The Motion Picture was poorly
executed, but a great storyline.

and the motion picture was a remake of the nomad "must sterilize" episode.

544 I like the time travel in the video game Strike Suit Zero. The player character is a time traveller, but loses his memory when it happens. It's not until late in the game that another character mentions the possibility of a time loop, and you realize that the odd information you got at the start of the game (i.e. that your character was found ranting and delusional by MPs) suggest that your character has been stuck in such a loop.
The Director's cut of the game pretty much confirms the loop is happening when the character who is aware of the time travel loop explains some sequence changes from the original release of the game. Early on, she all but says she's using her knowledge of the future events to guide her decision making, which is why the Director's Cut switches the second and third missions.
