I think you've got your work cut out for you...

Not me! I'm not here to persuade those who won't be persuaded! In fact I'm not here to persuade anyone else, it's up to each of us to fall in with bullshit crap to feed our ego's because it's easy and lazy and self-fulfilling, or try to make something better of ourselves.
Clearly the former outweigh the latter, hence the trajectory of our lives now. Those who do this can cry all they like they are right, but it makes no difference to anything apart from worsen the situation. There ya go I guess, human nature will out in the end, for our sins!

You carry on with your childish games, you obviously think your amusement is more important than much more serious stuff like the effect on peoples real lives. Have fun playing with yourself!

Pretty certain I'm not the one who's been acting like a child here. But ok.

Yeah. I don't get it. There has to be more tp the story because it's not like she could make that much money selling vapes to a few kids

Man, Joe Rogan is going out sad. Invited the FBI Director on and let him lie to his face about Jeffrey Epstein.

FBI Director Kash Patel says Epstein definitely killed himself. His argument is, would a guy with such honest eyes ever lie to you?

That's basically the whole argument. Patel goes on to say his #2 guy at the FBI, Dan Bongino, also swears Epstein killed himself. At one point saying, "do you really think Dan Bongino would lie?"

Brother, you're the Director of the FBI. Put a suit on. Exposing your flabby bitch tits to the entire globe. Shameful. Also having a guy that short in that type of position is a national security risk

LMAO perfect! That show was WAY ahead of its time. When it first came out, basically everyone thought Big Tech were good guys. The 2010's were HBO's Golden Age!

Most things are nicer when slower...

One man's opinion. Very early in my career I was a government auditor (job sucked). From my experience, a little over 2 years, the waste and fraud was significant. We found absurd cases of each. Anyone who believes our government is run efficiently is very naive.

The cops are saying the assassin was impersonating a police officer. The shooter apparently had an official uniform AND a police squad car? Kind of sounds like the shooter IS a cop.

Sad reminder not to trust any cop or anything that looks like a cop. Even if you're a 'law-abiding' white person.

Little harsh on the cops don't you think?

In my country official statistics says 80% cops are far right. I don't think florduh is being harsh.

No. Avoiding cops wherever possible is lifesaving advice in the United States.

So I was half right. The assassin is a rent-a-cop and military contractor.

Must be where I reside because I've never had anything but pleasant interactions with police. I'm aware that others have not been so fortunate. I'm sorry if had a bad experience(s).

The only time had an issue is when I was stopped for speeding. I asked the officer if I bought tickets to the Policemen's Ball would he let me off with just a warning. The office replied "policemen do not have balls". Therein is the problem.
