Sonuvabitch would be better off staying in jail if he killed my boy. He would live longer there.

The next politically motivated murder of a leftist by a dyed-in-the-wool MAGAT will be the first, but that doesn't stop the Corporate Left from saying we might do it! The thing about Bidet and The Left is that they NEED to make Republicans (not just the semi-fascist MAGA ones, but ALL of them) to be so toxic, so radioactive, that being in public wearing any damn red hat is asking for a beating. Why? Because that is all they got. That's it. They don't have an economy they can run on, they don't have stellar foreign relations they can point to, they can't point to any one policy that did any one any good, and they can't even say they STOPPED THE VIRUS! because the Branch-Covidians are mainly comprised of D-Party doners. They have nothing. If all Bidet did was sit at his vacation home and slurp pudding, then the D-Party might be able to run on something. But no, he ran this car into a ditch, he knows it, they know it, we know he knows it, and he knows we know he knows that he's holding this flaming bag of dog shit they call an economy.

You can't run on "PUTIN DID IT!"

M Night Sham-a-lama-ding-dong is trapped in a cage of his own design. Every movie he makes needs to have a SURPRISE!! in it that no one saw coming. I gave up on him as a director after Signs. You're telling me that this superior race of beings, so damn smart they travelled the span of the universe, had NO DAMN IDEA they weren't just allergic to water, but it was toxic to them? Oh come on! Even I know that this rock is almost all water. It's like me traveling to a planet made up of battery acid and going "oh yes, I'ma build a sweet cabin here!"

(That's at least how I remember Signs. The details escape me and I'm too lazy to confirm or not)

(And I'm not saying that a MAGA *won't* kill someone based on politics alone, there are way too many of them out there to make such a sweeping promise. I'm saying it hasn't happened. YET. That I'm aware of.)

(But, again, what do I know? I only know my Oregon Ducks need to whoop up on the Wazzu Cougs this weekend. That and the Worlds are on Sunday. Good sports weekend for this bike racing, duck-loving duck.)

Lemme tell you something about that boy who was murdered: he was a good looking young man who loved life. You could tell by that picture. To have his light snuffed out so early, that is painful. I have a daughter his age, and my son is 22. I can't imagine what I would do if someone decided they couldn't live because of what they believe, politically.

There was also Aaron Danielson, killed by Antifa member Michael Reinoehl for taking part in a Trump rally. I lost my faith in the American experiment the next day when a man-in-the-street interview asked a woman in NY what she thought of the violence, and her response was, "Tough. Don't be a Trump supporter in Portland."

I'm a MAGA-head, though I am leaning toward DeSantis. I find your guts amusing. Have a good weekend.

Murdering people with even 'suspected' ideological differences is the logical endpoint for the "punch a Nazi" crowd. You start by deciding that violence is ok to use on people who hold views you find odious. Then it expands to include what additional violence may be justified, and who you target starts to expand too. Once you can categorize what you can do to "Nazis" to include even murder and expand your concept of who is a "Nazi", then you can feel justified murdering just about anyone... like this guy did.

The left has been playing with fire for a long time on this stuff, largely with no consequence. It won't stop until the consequences of engaging in this stuff is too great, therefore I won't expect it to end anytime soon.

I'm retired for a year now, but when I was working for the PA legislature, M. Night pretty much got as much of the state's film tax credit as he wanted for his projects, since he'd do them all in the state.

That meant millions of dollars already guaranteed for the production. So that makes his movies a safe financial bet for Hollywood financiers. In case anyone wonders why he keeps getting work after The Village.

Okay. Sometimes I worry myself. Pretty much my first thought when I saw and heard about that murdering nutcase, was along the lines of "I'm really old. If he did that to one of my grandchildren of that age, I'd plot it carefully (trying to not get caught) and then give him an extremely painful ending so that he could know what was happening, and why. Then if caught I'd throw myself on the mercies of a jury of my peers and hope for the best. Failing that, it's off to prison for me. No pleading out. Drag out the process as long as possible for as much publicity as possible."

Then I thought, "Is that really who I am? Who I have been all these years?" I'm not sure I want to answer those questions.

However, back when I was a young man in my home, very rural, county, a jury let off a friend of mine who stabbed his brother-in-law to death with a single blow using a paring knife. The general assessment was that the b-i-l was a well-known a-hole and was "asking for it." Sort of a FAFO situation.

The reporter’s question and the LEO answer about “extreme Republicans” is of a type you would not normally hear in other cases: “Chief, was there any evidence to support the rapist’s claim that the victim was just dressed entirely too provocatively and that’s why he raped and killed her?” No, Mr. Acosta, there is no evidence of that!”

Ok what a m night that you watch and geez..old. I watched cuz I kinda like his plot twists...interesting take. Campy bit heh...m night. Can’t say I completely wasted the time...better than some of the other crap out there. So I’ll probably watch this one. At least they’re “thinking” worthy.
