  1. Not really surprising info about the shooter:

    https://www.mediaite.com/news/fbi-deputy-director-trump-shooter-believed-to-be-author-of-anti-semitic-and-anti-immigration-posts-online/

    While the investigation is not to determine motive, the investigative team continues to review information from legal returns, including online and social media accounts. Something just very recently uncovered that I want to share is a social media account, which is believed to be associated with the shooter in about the 2019-2020 timeframe.

    There were over 700 comments posted from this account. Some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect anti-semitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature. While the investigative team is still working to verify this account to determine if it did, in fact, belong to the shooter, we believe it important to share and noted today particularly given the general absence of other information to date from social media and other sources of information that reflect on the shooter’s potential motive and mind set.

    I've got to admit, I did not see "I'm not persuadable because I'm functionally illiterate" coming.

    I’m bugging everybody I follow to move to another platform.  BlueSky is small, but has a lot of good long form discussions, Threads still needs a few things, but has a lot of people and the conversations are not overrun with bots and “pussy in bio”.

    Yeah I'm not gonna go with another zuck owned platform. Dude is a monster towards his users

    Great move by Biden to go for constitutional amendments for removing presidential immunity and term limits for the Supreme Court. Look forward to the gop stance how both are bad.

    there are some good aspects to having an old, lame duck president. They can go after legacy items and not worried about future elections or lining their own pocket.

    I genuinely don't think an amendment is going to be fruitful, it's too easy to block and all the (R) states will simply out of spite

    Hey I’m back from my trip to Facebook and being called a liberal plant so now we can get back to our regular scheduled program of y’all calling me a Tumpstet…. It’s amazing how logical views are shunned by both sides because they don’t fit their narrative…. Need an example see the negs I got on the last page for idk because people are close minded on both sides..  got the most negs on the last page by literally saying the government is watching this site because of things said on this forum…. A couple jackasses we’re like no that’s not true you’re full of shit you Trumpster…. Guess what I wasn’t and I’m not. Close minded as the other side some of yall are and your no better than the people you ridicule or atleast you don’t act like it at all. 

    Aw poor baby did getting six negs make your feefees fall down go boom? Poor widdle victim

    The thread in ipihb

    Huh, hadn't browsed over there in some time, thanks for the visibility.

    Would it be possible for surly to set up a canary statement or something along those lines to let us know (in a legally compliant way) when those requests come through?

     

    It's funny though that they didn't give a shit when half of DT was talking about how much they'd like to go take care of protesters themselves and were glad that violence was being done in the name of their political preferences

    Yes, have you not seen the thread? 

    Feds came to surly because of some posts about trump getting his ear cut, and not because of raydog or txtow?

    And no, I didn't see the thread until after y'all memory holed everything

    wait...'the government' contacted surly posters bc of their posts here??

    man. i mean i feel like i spend a lot of time perusing this site, but apparently i don't spend enough. i had no idea this was a thing that happened 😳

    Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Sounds like something that someone would say in DT or 6SJ to score some sweet rep from the fascists, and then is repeated until they believe it. 

    @immamac did that actually happen?

    Lol you're citing an AIPAC person and a conservative opinion writer who's trying labeling the anti-genocide posture of many dems as "extreme". Miss me with that, broheim. 

    How bout you do something crazy and synthesize your own ideas and then back it with sources, rather than mindlessly reposting concern trolls? Like, can you actually articulate your concerns with specific posts or actions? Or are you stuck in """many people are saying""" land?

     

    Go fuck a couch and then fuck some kids with epstein if you want to claim that #bothsides are bad

  10. Starliner is star stuck

    https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/07/nasa-nears-decision-on-what-to-do-with-boeings-troubled-starliner-spacecraft/

    “I think we’re starting to close in on those final pieces of flight rationale to make sure that we can come home safely, and that’s our primary focus right now," Stich said.

    The problems have led to speculation that NASA might decide to return Wilmore and Williams to Earth in a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. There's one Crew Dragon currently docked at the station, and another one is slated to launch with a fresh crew next month. Steve Stich, manager of NASA's commercial crew program, said the agency has looked at backup plans to bring the Starliner crew home on a SpaceX capsule, but the main focus is still to have the astronauts fly home aboard Starliner.

    “Our prime option is to complete the mission," Stich said. "There are a lot of good reasons to complete this mission and bring Butch and Suni home on Starliner. Starliner was designed, as a spacecraft, to have the crew in the cockpit."

    Had a friend at work get shot in the face and ear. This was three weeks after the incident and a plastic surgery to fix the ear shape. 

    I sincerely doubt that a 78 year old sack of dog shit like trump would heal that quickly from any sort of procedure or reparative surgery. Plus, this is just two weeks after.

    Because outside of Tesla, most  of his companies are private. So that takes SpaceX, Neuralink, etc off the table because he doesn’t have to answer to anyone.

    That leaves Tesla, and we got the answer to that in the lawsuit. That board gets way too much money being in the orbit of Musk to ever vote against him. Pure and simple.

    Beyond that, Tesla stock exists in meme stock territory. Their valuation makes no sense in any sort of real market performance. His actions might be hurting car sales, but their stock price doesn’t move because of that, so he can keep talking. 

    What's weird is that nothing seems to affect Tesla's stock price. It defies reasoning, and I cannot understand a non-speculative valuation of it's next five or six competitors combined

    I can't be sure, but one of the knocks on .223 is that it tumbles on the slightest impact.

    The tumbling is a feature more than a bug, actually. It's a designed to prevent over penetration and transfer the most energy possible into the target

    6 minutes ago, TwiceHorn said:

    If he was more than barely grazed, I tend to think a .223 round would have destroyed his ear and maybe even deflected into his skull.

    It's possible he got dinged by a rapidly spinning bullet tumbling end over end. Enough to break the skin and scare the ever loving shit out of everyone, but not enough to do even lasting superficial damage. 

     

    It really just is ridiculous that the WWE superstar hall of famer had a botched assassination attempt like this. The way trump went down and got back up with only a small bit of blood is like something you'd see at WrestleMania after someone blades them self to up the ante in the match.

    FBI confirmed Friday that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear, moving to clear up conflicting accounts about what caused the former president’s injuries after a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally.

    “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement.
    ———————

    I saw that as I trying to find more footage of the opening ceremony (NBC cut a lot of cool shit apparently.) I know it won’t put to rest stuff bc it just won’t. But I hope that the breakdown in communication and whatever else led to a man losing his life will be revealed (as much as it can) so this shit doesn’t happen again. It says a lot we have not had an attempt since 1981. I hope all the investigations and hearings and Cheatle’s resignation will lead to our candidates being better protected. Thats more important to me. I don’t have to like Trump. I don’t have to like him to say that I think he was hit by a bullet/ or fragment of one and I hope this does NOT ever happen to him or any other political or high profile figure. I pray that the SS will get the resources that need and the manpower they need as well. 

     

    He's healed remarkably well for a 78 year old if he really did get shot in the ear and not ever-so-slightly grazed

    I’m on IPhone and CR seems to keep reloading every topic maybe halfway through the page on its own and a second or third if it is so long to scroll. Don’t know if it’s all the gifs, memes or twitter loads.

    What did your iPhone fall out of a coconut tree?
