I really appreciate this joke. Had a great laugh, thank you.

I encourage you to actually read the DoJ filings. In the meantime, all of this is pretty consistent with an attack on the Pelosi house when Nancy was away and security was probably lighter than usual. We have officers saying either they opened the door or the door was opened. We have DePape himself stating that Pelosi opened the door with one arm while fighting him for the hammer with the other. We have consistent testimony that both Pelosi and DePape were in the foyer (so right by the door) and that when the police entered the picture, thety were wrestling over the hammer and then there was a brief conversation before Pelosi was attacked. I'm just going to take a second to point out that I nailed the Sussman trial prediction just by looking at the filings, and I can tell you that it is incredibly unlikely that DePape was someone known to the Pelosi's (and definitely not in a romantic relationship with either of them). The facts of this case support the simplest explanation: he was a crazy person who wanted to hurt Nancy Pelosi.

Oh look, ad buyers don’t like chaos and poor partnership. Who could have thunk it?

Nah, it’s about the same. The increased violent rhetoric against the LGBT community is designed to drive violence and lone wolf attacks while providing cover for the talking heads. In the end, the goal is the same: to subjugate and even eliminate those who are different.

The GOP is happy with anti-LGBT language, especially anti trans and drag language because it activates people. It generates an emotional reaction and gets people to believe things that aren’t true and also fosters an anti-LGBT environment that may lead to stochastic terrorism. It’s all a big win for the Right. Paint anyone who seems different as “the other” and blame them for everything. Unfortunately, in this case, we are taking about people who are incredibly vulnerable. People will die because of this, but there will always be an excuse for those who pretend to be reasonable supporters of hate.

Nah, just telling it as it is. Some people just can’t understand simple reason and logic.

“I don’t understand why gay people would support them Dems when decent people like us want them to be gunned down in the streets.” -The GOP

Because it’s a costume. What’s better, some random weeb showing up to do a sing a long with your kid or Dafft Duck showing up to do it?

I think you are making my point for me. There is a difference between late night shows aimed at adults and daytime shows for kids. If you have a bunch of people in animal costumes reading to kids, or doing sing a longs, or blowing balloons, do you think that’s the same as a furry convention?

Honestly? Probably entertaining the kids so that the parents could get a break. Having them read to is probably better than putting them in front of a TV or handing them a phone or tablet.

I honestly do not understand what you are asking. If your asking if there are “sexy” versions of Spider-Man or clowns, I regret to inform you and my internet provider that yes, yes there are. The question I have is: when you see guy in a dress, do you immediately think sex?

It’s as beneficial as having anyone in costume read to kids.

It’s the same as having clowns read to them. It’s weird for some, fine for others. I never liked clowns and I’m not the biggest fan of drag queens. But to say having a guy in a furry animal suit entertain kids is fine but a guy in a dress entertain kids is somehow pedophilia is just dumb.

Not my argument at all, but reading seems to be an issue for you, so I’ll try to keep this as simple as possible for your elementary school reading comprehension. Drag brunches, reading hours, and other kid-oriented shows are done for the benefit of the kids. They are the same as hiring clowns, Mickey Mouse, or Spider-Man to read to or entertain kids. The only people making it sexual are the people who see a guy in a dress and immediately think of sexy things. If you see a drag performer and think of sex, that’s on you. It’s no different than seeing some guy in a Spider-Man costume and getting a *****. That’s fine! Love and let live! But don’t project your sexuality on the kids.

“Go check out the account of someone who wants to incite violence and you’ll be convinced they are correct.” Yeah, not a great argument. Maybe go to a drag brunch sometime and see how it actually goes. It’s mostly sing a longs and balloons. But is you’re really worried about grooming kids for sex, I can tell you all about Dennis Hastert, Jim Jordan, and Matt Gaetz.

See, you’re making a strawman. I said I support the LGBT community and you made a bunch of random assumptions based on that. Maybe look inside yourself to figure out why. As I’ve stated before, there is a difference between the drag show you would see late at night at a gay bar and a kid-friendly drag brunch. The letter is the same as having a Mickey Mouse brunch or other kids entertainment.

Ok cool. Then we can agree that the US celebrating the LGBT community is unambiguously a good thing. Glad that this is settled.

I fail to see how acknowledging that gay people exist is inappropriate.

Yes, there are plenty of social media sites and accounts that target hate at specific individuals. Like, claiming that anyone who supports LGBT rights is a pedophile groomer or by following election law, an administrator is stealing the election.

I think we can get lost in the minutiae and partisan attacks, but let’s just come back together and agree that Trump illegally possessed government documents.

Hey @SoCal Deek, I value your opinion on this since it seems to be right up your alley. I don't know for certain if it was laminated glass, though the responding officers believed it was. Initial reports can be obviously be false as people are emotionally charged during the incident. From what I can tell from the photos, there is broken glass both inside and outside the house but there is a large circle of glass that is shattered but still holding together. I'd honestly appreciate your thoughts on this. Here are some different images I've found: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3

I'm going to need a more powerful computer to answer that...

Actually, the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42.

This is absolutely 100% true. There were several left-wing / BLM-type groups that were actually stood up by the Russian IRA.
