Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

Today, it was a handicapped American Citizen with Zero criminal charges off to detention, no phone call, no lawyer, no charges, nothing, but dragged from her car, car windows smashed, thrown in the snow, then stuffed in an SUV and disappeared. Even though she had proof of legal status. No wheel chair, no medications. Was removed from the detention center in an ambulance.

And then there is the guy with kidney transplants and he is denied his anti-organ rejection medicine for 5 days and now only gets it occasionally and at odd times.

And then there is he guy they kept beating against the wall until his skull was broken. Eight times.

And then there are the child abductions. When grabbing a 5 yr old for bait to catch his father, got all kinds of outrage, they started a contest for ever younger abductions. A 2-yr old was next and then an infant.

And then there was the teenager who was forced to spend the night in an ICE agent's hotel room.

This stuff is far beyond crazy. And all because some guy has a temper tantrum every time he hears the word "Minnesota".

If you elected him, you own it.

Many of these cases had detailed sources given in this thread before.

Didn't matter then...would it really make a difference to you now?

National public radio
Minnesota public radio
And just about every legitimate national and state journalistic organization. Including live interviews with victims such as one. I am listening to right now.

That this is happening is notcontroversial.

If we don't agree on the validity of the sources, this thread is a waste of time. Many of us realize that many "news" sources don't have an issue with making up stories no matter the topic.

You might as well just post your favorite politicians talking points. It's just as "true".

Sorry I don’t wake up everyday and check HT. You and Brent seem to have a political bias stronger than anyone here except @17remhunter. So to answer your question, yes, if you have actual sources I’d be interested. If not I’ll assume it’s just your typical sniveling.

Welcome to the cable news addicted, boomer convention.

I’m cautiously optimistic that when the Boomer’s are no longer watching the major news networks that the rage bait of CNN and Fox will slip into oblivion.

Pleas post which "actual sources [you'd] be interested" in.

Nah, when we are gone, there will be a new group of seniors. They too, will enjoy rage bait. Consider how effective social media is at hooking teenagers to their platforms.

Well...back to the original question of the thread, it certainly appears that everything's going to be alright---regarding the potential for being attacked by mylar baloons!

Ageism aside. It's clear that people of all ages are susceptible to propaganda. I still see people of all ages wearing masks. Who the heck knows what else they believe.

Sorry if you think masks worked.

Ive got (64) 80lb bags of mortar to mix. Masks DO work.

Not so certain since learning of satellites beaming down ballot flips during critical elections. But relax ... as you are entering the Twilight Zone!

Some things require quick response. Unlike your guy that allowed China to send balloons over with no issue, this one was quick. You talk out both sides of your mouth. If this would have been a threat and something were to happen you’d blame Trump for his lack of action. You’re looking for anything to bitch about at this point.

Including you it appears.

Unmasking the mask studies: why the effectiveness of surgical masks in preventing respiratory infections has been underestimated - PMC

I am a retired oil refinery employee. I had to wear, by company mandate, all sorts of personal protection equipment, PPE. None of it is an absolute barrier. It reduces risk, not to zero, but less than otherwise. Seatbelts save many lives, but not every single time.

So, I took the mask mandates similarly. They reduced the risk, but could not possibly be a perfect barrier. I wore the masks, and did not enjoy all of the nuisance involved.

What a funny world.

If you support Trump, you support Nazizm.

If you think ICE is over the top you are Antifa.

You can agree with immigration enforcement but think the current approach and tactics are way out of line.

You can disagree with the current immigration enforcement but still believe in law and order.

Some folks think Froid MT is better off without a certain diesel mechanic, and some think the community loses in the essence of black and white enforcement.

Constitutional rights should or can be circumvented when you don’t politically align with the person.

People enjoy trolling folks who are morally conflicted with the state of our government.

Some cheer when the White House gives the finger to the judiciary.

Checks and balances are routinely overlooked and ignored and are certainly reshaping the future of presidential power in the US.

Maybe this bothers more republicans than I’m aware of. Not everyone voices displeasure and I get that.

What a new Gallup poll shows about the depth of Americans' gloom

A new Gallup poll reveals that Americans' optimism about their future is at a low. Only 59% of U.S. adults rate their future life satisfaction highly, which is the lowest measure since Gallup began asking the question almost 20 years ago.

Civility is dwindling. It’s not that hard to be a good person to people you agree with. It’s much harder if you don’t.

Faith is incredibly important to me. One think I am thankful to DJT for is he is a daily challenge for me to love him like my neighbor. It’s difficult to reconcile I’m commanded to forgive him and love him. It is what it is. It makes me a better person. So, there is that bright spot.

It’s hard to predict what the country will look like in 20 years. Given how many folks are so dumb they don’t realize Puerto Rico is an American territory, it’s hard for me to have much hope at times.

Nailed the difference...you correctly see something that reduces risk as having value or "working".

Deniers see one single example of someone getting sick anyway as proof they dont work at all.

Applies to masks, vaccines, and a host of others.
