    I just checked out Parler, the trumpkin twitter that Ted Cruz said I should sign up for. Two things 1) You have to give them a phone number so they can send you a code so that you can log in, and there was no way I was going to do that. I'm guessing that many completely paranoid "deep state" freaks won't like it, either.  2) You can't view Parler unless you have an account, so you can't link to funny Parler posts on, say, surlyhorns, and have the world read them. It's going to be a very small, insular world there and I'll bet only the hardcore Trumpkins post on it. 3) If I'm the FBI, I'm monitoring the hell out of that place.

    it's a honeypot for pseudo-facists

  3. How in the fuck aren't Chad and Karen being arrested for brandishing?? I'm a proud gun owner but for fuck's sake, they have no right pointing guns at people demonstrating peacefully

    Do you actually read anything I post? Literally everything I’ve posted on this thread is that we are trending in the wrong direction.

    We’ve shutdown once already. We are in the process of doing another one. In Texas. I’m sorry that wherever jackass place you call home doesn’t have a mask mandate, but we’ve got one here in bumbfuck Port A. It’s not perfect but every small thing we do slows this down.  Despite whatever political argument you want to make this, we fight this locally.

    My dude, I am not peddling politics here. And you should really slow your roll if you're this angry at 8 in the morning after staying up all night and posting at 4AM. I have read your posts, which is why I was confused and challenged your assertion that "we have shown we will follow preventative measures". 

    I 100% agree we fight COVID locally, but local authorities only have as much power as the state of Texas lets them have. There's still zero enforcement or penalty, and some cities have actively gone the other direction and are keeping bars/restaurants open. 

    If you don't like me, that's fine, but don't shout me down for doing something I haven't done. Y'all are too eager to screech "POLITICS!!!" everytime you disagree.

    This is spreading fast for sure but not what it first looked like and we have proven we will take measures to slow it.

    What measures are those? We still don't have a mandate to wear masks in public, and it's becoming a political statement to refuse to do so. 

    We have large groups of Americans who are actively and knowingly doing the WRONG thing. We aren't trending in the right direction, in case you haven't noticed

    Well your prior post was totally political and idiotic. And now, deleted. Go get your shine box. 

    Lol it was literally the actions taken by Abbott. He stuck down municipal and local level facemask mandates and proclaimed the state open for business, and asserted his authority to overrule local authority. And now we are running out of ICU capacity, hospitals are filling, and we are seeking peak infections across the state. 

    Facts.

    I agree, we need way more training, and not just when they start.  Should be annual.

    There's been multiple data studies posted in this thread and others that show that the level of training that an PD has doesn't correlate at all with its use of force. Based on the numbers, it always closely correlates (and suggests a causation) with the terms of the police union contract, and how much authority the PD actually has to discipline and fire/prosecute its officers.

    Training is all well and good, and important. But we have to take steps that will actually make a difference.

    I posted plenty in the impeachment discussion, and on polling locations in Harris county.  Haven't posted much about Bolton's book though, other than a quip about the most personally upsetting thing that Bolton endured in the white house was a reluctance to indiscriminately bomb brown people.  

    Please, we'd love to hear more of your thoughts of what a losing campaign that is completely out of power and public office may have done three years ago. There's definitely not anything actively ongoing within the executive branch that is fundamentally undermining and corroding democracy in the country.

    fucking LOVE beating dead horses with moot points. Knock em dead bucko.

    E: not to say if there's wrongdoing it shouldn't be investigated and prosecuted, but... Priorities, man.

    Sorry for pointing out examples of election interference that make you uncomfortable with the discussion. 

    For someone who loves to point out things on both sides, you sure do focus exclusively on democrats and bemoan how they're interfering in elections (????) while the GOP is shutting down polling locations and soliciting assistance from communist china and extorting Ukraine for election interference. Keep on fuckin that intellectually dishonest chicken.

    Seriously, this thread has gone 18 pages now with no problems. Go back to your shithole.

    I'm not posting anything political. Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio are running out of ICU beds and COVID is spiking up to record highs.

    Weeks ago, local leaders and municipalities took measures to mitigate and compel behaviors that would at the very least lessen the intensity of a new outbreak. Abbott undercut their authority and rolled back those proactive actions and pushed the reopening timeline ahead of the stated reopening guidelines published by our state, the CDC, and DHS. Now, we are where we are.

    Those are all facts. They upset me too, but you shouldn't direct your anger at me.

  11. It's amazing how even when the trump admin is tearing justice apart right before our eyes and pushing conspiracy theories in impeachment and judicial proceedings, anastasia's only comment is "BUT HILLARY!!!!"

    For fucks sake man. Get a goddamn grip.

    No, fuckface, I witnessed this And your behavior in the bulk on the other thread. And now you want to start it here. It always starts innocently enough, with raised hands. And then it devolves into shit. Fuck off. Everyone with eyes knows why we’re here, you showing up to point it out brings nothing to the table and creates great potential for this thread to become a shitshow. So go fuck yourself. No one needs your singular prescience to inform us how we got here. My feelings can handle a lot, but if you suggest other folks read then maybe you should read the fucking thread title and abide, instead of lawyering semantics so you can blow your political load where it isn’t wanted. 

    Methinks the lady doth protest too much. I've been active in this thread prior to your mall cop act

    Hey fuckhead, yes no politics. This thread has worked great for well over a dozen pages and here you show up to throw your fucking tantrum that there’s some spot you can’t smear your political thoughts on. Get the fuck out of here. Go back to the other thread. And be sure to get fucked in the process. 

    Hey, buddy, take a chill pill lol. I'm just noting that our current situation has been actively been made worse by our state leaders. No mention of party or politics. It's a fact. If your feelings can't handle that then you should read the banner that keeps fucking popping up

  14. The thread title is so fucking farcical at this point lol.

    We're in the middle of either a REALLY long first wave or the beginning of a second wave of a pandemic in our state because our governor pushed a reopening ahead of guidelines and has undermined local authority and proactive measures like mask ordinances through executive orders.

    But no politics!

    That's why he asked if he could breath, and he said he could breath the whole time.

    We get it. You prefer cops to kill people with chokeholds instead of kneeling on their neck. Just keep thinking whatever your right wing shock jock YouTubers tell you to

  16. 1 minute ago, workswithseed said:

     To be fair, it's not even 6 minutes long, with a demonstration of what happens during a chokehold. I can't put that on paper.

    Also probably aren't gonna get many people to click on a crowder vid. Dude is a meme and a bad-faith actor in discussions. Chokeholds are a problem. Cops kill people regularly with them. 

    If you think differently, stop supporting cops murdering people willy fucking nilly
