Thoughts and prayers in Perry, Iowa

[Jockey]

Y'all aren't thinking deeply enough about this. Taylor Swift was a psy-op to get Biden re-elected, then staging this shooting is so that Biden has reason to take our guns away. They're playing five dimensional chess, and you guys are just thinking checkers.

The thought of trump playing five dimensional chess made me laugh out loud.

We are the dumbest country.

A Monmouth University poll released today showed that 18% believe that Swift is part of a covert government effort to help Joe Biden get elected this year. Almost half of respondents, or 46%, had heard of the premise, as the conspiracy theory took on new life in advance of the Super Bowl.
According to Monmouth, "Fully 71% of those who believe this identify with or lean toward the Republican Party and 83% indicate they are likely to support Donald Trump in the fall."

Yes, we do.

A January poll by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found 18% of voters said they were prone to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift. "Swift reaches groups of people, some of whom are not very interested in politics, do not follow traditional news, do not have much political knowledge, but have built up a close relationship with Taylor Swift and trust her," Christian von Sikorski, a professor of political psychology at University Kaiserslautern-Landau in Germany, told McClatchy News.

The good news is, education is a top priority for, um, well, somebody in power, I hope?

[Shaka Shart]

Yes, we do.

Race determines voter turnout. Religion (Or perceived affiliation of such) determines voter turnout. Gender determines voter turnout.

Low information/bias voters are voters nonetheless. Maybe present a better case for celebrities to buy what you are selling. Or pay them if that's what they want.

That video is wild.  Was it just released today?

I saw it first today.  The internal review came out and it's not flattering for the guy in it.  Luckily, he resigned

Allowing celebrity's endorsements to influence one's voting is silly, but hardly new or unusual. More than 100 years ago, presidential candidates were offering Babe Ruth money for his endorsement.

But being influenced by a celebrity endorsement isn't in the same galaxy of stupid as believing the Taylor Swift psyop conspiracy.

The suspect was handcuffed inside the vehicle after being searched by the officer and his partner

Never know what things can be well hidden in a body's crevices. Ask TSmith.

The double barrel roll is a nice touch. Like JB when a geriatric comes to the net in pickleball.

Where does he think he is, Marquette's campus?

[Jockey]

800 cops.  And there's not a thing they could do about it.

And republicans won't allow anything that will make the public safer from these occurrences.

But they are all over DEI and repressing history. Embarrassing.

[Verypolitical Warrior]

People making the Onion's "only nation where this regularly happens" joke are being disingenuous. We are the only place with Super Bowl parades, and thus, of course we are the only place with mass shootings at Super Bowl parades.

Great point we should cancel celebrations since they're making liberals threaten people's gun rights.

Congratulations on violating the " Politics free zone" prohibitions without any repercussion.

Some people have all the luck I guess.

Huh, what?  Does 3-2-1 mean minutes? Hours? Days?  Who do you think I am?  Auntie reeeko?  Seeing as how y'all got this figured out, I'm just looking thank you. Some of us have to pick our spots carefully as the "justice" is swift and humorous. But the blame game is exactly what they want.  In the mean time, our edumacation system is either a huge success or failure depending on who's poster ya got hanging in your garage.  Whatever you do, watch what they are exposing our children to, right Mr Epstein? Oh, he committed suicide, that's right  "journalism" is still dead

I think he was just throwing stuff in there to puff up the score. It really didn't flow naturally in a rocket-brain kind of way.

Ha! It just goes to show rocket is not an AI bot.
