No, you didn't directly mention race. You just jumped to the conclusion that he was mentally ill, which would be fine if you defined ANY mass attack motivated by hatred of a particular race, religion, country, belief system, etc. primarily as the act of a "mentally ill" person. But I suspect you don't do that. If I am wrong, I apologize. No. It doesn't. I completely agree. But the fact that there have been peer reviewed studies examining just white vs black mass shootings that establish that the probability of the media narrative framing the white shooter as "mentally ill" is about 19 times higher than if it were a black shooter is problematic. And again, if as I said above you naturally identify any of these mass killings targeting a specific group carried out by ANY race as that of a mentally ill person, I apologize. What is your central argument on this? No, white people do not commit the most violent crimes in our country. They commit the most hate crimes, just not overall violent crimes. Still not seeing your point. Again, if you say this response is ubiquitous in all shootings, I apologize. It's been just hours since the shootings, though. Cases far from closed.

Yeah it's mental. It was a white guy. Clearly mental. Gotta focus on those "mental issues" because it's a white dude. Can't call it terrorism. It was a white dude. But this happens and it's not a white dude... oh how the narrative shifts It's all just so goddamn frustrating

Agreed

Sounds good

That means yes, I'm guessing. Correct?

You makin stuff up now? Please direct my attention (along with everyone else's) to that interaction with a link.

This is a friendly bet. How do you define a friendly bet? There's no money involved here. Again, you've adamantly said that no Democrat on that stage stands a chance against Trump. Everyone in the field is just who's on that stage and who's in the Democratic party. Are you thinking someone like Michelle Obama is going to shock the world and jump into the race or something? Trump isn't running against the field. He's running against a single candidate. That candidate just hasn't been decided, yet. Odds don't make sense for a One vs. One scenario. Fine, I'll limit it to Trump vs. anyone who was on the stage during the last 2 debates alone. Better?

I don't keep changing the stakes. I've been trying to get you to commit to this exact same friendly wager for awhile now. You said beers at a Bills game, which would be great except I can't make a Bills game this year and make them once a year if I'm lucky. I was a little overzealous with Biden being a lock. I think he is by far THE most likely democratic candidate running, though. Why do you need better odds? Have you been paying attention to what you've been saying about Trump vs. ANY of these democratic candidates? You've certainly been presenting absolute confidence that Trump would win. Why would you need better odds for that? Are you saying you're not actually that confident Trump is going to win?

Are you ready, then, to commit to my proposed bet?

Historically polls have been pretty accurate. Plus, polls weren't all that off in 2016. It's just that they were a representation of the popular vote and it was the electoral vote that got Trump into office. I see. So you suspect polls are lying because people lie and it would be closet case Trump voters doing the lying. Interesting. I wonder if that would be your suspicion if Trump were ahead in the polls... You should go to Vegas. You could become rich. Like Marty McFly's entire downfall was that he needed a book. You don't need one. In 30 years you could have your own DerangedRhino town. Think about it

Doesn't equal, I agree. Polls have flaws. But they're also probably the strongest indicator we have.

Still think Biden doesn't stand a chance?

I believe Biden will be the nominee, but not as adamantly as you clearly believe he won't. I haven't hitched my wagon to him because I like other candidates as well. Let me put it this way, at this exact moment I'd say Biden vs the field for the Democratic nominee is close to 50/50. He's not necessarily the odds on favorite, but he has by far the best chance to win the nomination over any other individual candidate. You have not merely expressed that he doesn't stand a shot of winning the nomination or Presidency against Trump, but also that none of the Democratic candidates stand a chance against Trump. So again, we on? Trump wins, I take his avatar for a year. He doesn't, you take the avatar of our new President for a year. You're mixing my feelings of memes with gifs. Static vs dynamic I still hate memes.

So are we on?

Speaking of stupid, did Williamson and Gabbard win their respective debate nights again? That was what you thought the first time, right? I mean... you're criteria is who's googled the most, isn't it? You should search for more propaganda on twitter

What I'm starting to understand is that you guys seem fine with our President being a complete moron, but get offended when he gets called a racist

I won't go with the "if Biden isn't the nominee" part because, while I still pretty strongly believe he'll be the nominee, a lot can happen between now and the caucuses. HOWEVER If you're willing to change my terms to just Trump vs. the field. I'll take it. Even odds for both of us. You choose. 1 year or 4.

Exactly. The vast majority of the Democratic party is more middle left than left left. Media might portray things differently, but media is also driven by ratings.

This would be funny if I didn't think you actually thought this proves he's not a racist. Just sad. It's like that twitter post propaganda @Foxx posted the other day that he begged any liberal to watch. Just sad.

The opinions of the pundits on MSNBC and even AOC holistically do not represent "the party," which I believe you (and many others) will discover is still more center left than the far left you guys think it is. It's why Sanders and Warren won't win the nomination and why you noticed even Harris's unveiled health care plan this week kinda moved away from Sanders's vision of healthcare for all. Even leading up to last week, Biden's lead over every other candidate in the polls was the same as it was pretty much as it was going up to the first debate. So while you might pay attention to the extremely vocal and visible "communists" (as you guys seem to think they are), most of the democratic voters are still closer to center than the boundary of far left.

If you're wrong, will you change your avatar to Biden's face up until the general election?

Do you enjoy watching asshats? Is that really all it is? Troll culture?

When you say to 4 people of color, all of whom are citizens, 3 of whom were born and raised in the USA and I quote "who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all)" to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. you MUST acknowledge one of two things about the speaker regarding that particular thing he said: 1) He/she is a moron 2) He/she is a racist But in this case it's more likely that he's a combination of both. Too many things throughout his entire life to count. Trump's pretty clearly a racist bigot. But at least that's not the only thing he has going for him... He's falls under plenty of other categories when it comes to being a bigot. If Biden is the nominee, can you commit to changing your avatar to his face up until the general election?

Awwwww... You mad bro?
