Yup, so looks like Reddit trolls deliberately spread fake news that the attackers were Syrian refugees, which is assuredly now gospel in some quarters.

Adding to the disorder were hoaxes, including a viral tweet from a fake Reuters news account that named two “white supremacists” as the attackers, and another hoax, started at Donald Trump forums on Reddit, that claimed the gunmen were recent refugees from Syria.

It'd be straight up despicable for them to respond by celebrating the shooter, but at least it'd be consistent.

Oh yes. They sure scrubbed their hands clean when that right wing nut shot ABORTION doctor Tiller in church.

From Acting Attorney General Orders Justice Dept. Not to Defend Refugee Ban posted by freeper Alter Kaker

If you don't know how this one turns out already, expect Trump to do exactly what you think he's going to do.

So, Sally Q. Yates was retained at the DoJ to be acting Attorney General until Trump's choice can be signed in. She's an Obama appointee. Earlier today, she sent out a release stating that she has ordered the DoJ to not defend Trump's immigration EO. Here's CNN quoting her statement, which I'm having a hard time finding a full copy of because of the clusterfuck.

CNN posted:

"My responsibility is to ensure that the position of the Department of Justice is not only legally defensible, but is informed by our best view of what the law is after consideration of all the facts," she said in a letter. "In addition, I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right."

Freep is hella predictable here. Of the first 16 posts, 13 are "fire her."

quote:

To: Alter Kaker

Mr. Trump is late to the party on the DoJ.

In addition to firing this Rat party hack who ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE IN POWER, he needs to fire ALL United States Attornies and replace them with people who plan to do their job, not just what the DNC wants them to do.

Why the hell is McConnell letting these confirmations drag on? And why did the Republicans take a 2 day retreat in Philly last week when there are more urgent matters that require them to be in session?

I couldn’t help but notice after Trump spoke to retreaters last week how shaken McConnell and Cornyn looked as Trump shook their hands after he talked.

At some point, Trump will need to turn the screws on the republicans in congress. It will be interesting to see how he does it, or even if he can do it. I’m thinking he’s surrounded by political assassins.

This is the mess we find ourselves in now.

Statement on the Appointment of Dana Boente as Acting Attorney General

The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.

Ms. Yates is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.

It is time to get serious about protecting our country. Calling for tougher vetting for individuals travelling from seven dangerous places is not extreme. It is reasonable and necessary to protect our country.

Tonight, President Trump relieved Ms. Yates of her duties and subsequently named Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve as Acting Attorney General until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons.

The Democrats have deployed some tactics to delay votes, but most of them are too feckless to actually stand up to his appointments. It's starting to change because people are now yelling at the Democratic senators about, well, everything at this point.

If I'm remembering things right and it's not fake news, Trump didn't have his potential administration planned out like other presidents-elect have had upon taking office. He made most of his decisions days before or right after the inauguration and it takes time to go through the nomination process. Donald J. Trump thinks America is a boardroom where you name somebody and bing bing bong they're now in that position, and politics doesn't work like that.

X-2's job and combat system is essentially Final Fantasy V's on steroids. Since V is the best Final Fantasy, this is an extremely good thing.

To get even vaguely on-topic, I can only imagine Freep would loving hate Final Fantasy for constantly giving stories of fighting tyrannical governments/religions that they probably agree with, while having extremely feminine male protagonists (which is largely an apocryphal description of FF dudes, but Freep would think they're all feminine gay men anyway). V they'd hate more than usual, though, since it's got one of those 'kinda reads as trans these days' constantly-crossdressing characters and just sorta lets her keep doing that. X on the other hand they'd probably like the first chunk of, until Jecht starts showing actual affection for Tidus instead of constantly making GBS threads on him.

2+ years of following the FReep thread and it never ceases to amaze me how strongly they hang on to the McCarthy-era Red Scare mentality where everyone who opposes them is a communist. They honestly don't even know what these terms mean, but it's the only way to distinguish themselves from the BAD GUYS.

You see it now when the Right just slings around terms like Snowflake and SJW as a blanket insult and a way to de-legitimize any opposition to their way of thinking. There is never any constructive dialogue, just compaction and insults.

A lot of them grew up during that poo poo and internalized it. It takes a lot to get that sort of stuff out of the brain especially when it gets you young.

Yeah well I grew up in the late 80s on and still have pretty vivid memories of the Satanic Panic back then, which was the Red Scare of that particular era - with the Red Scare stuff STILL going on. Everything was the devil back then.

Still never kept me from playing DnD :rolldice:

They already hate the BSA for letting gay people in. Freep is a hate machine running at maximum capacity, if you're question is "do they hate it" and it's not Trump or a Trump-loyal, then yes, they do hate it.

Even the things they like are driven by hate. Look at how many replies about things they're happy about are along the lines of "this'll make libtard heads explode!"



From Boy Scouts Will Allow Transgender Children Into Programs posted by freeper drewh

the article posted:

The organization's leadership had considered a recent case in Secaucus, New Jersey, where an 8-year-old transgender child had been asked to leave his Scout troop after parents and leaders found out he is transgender. But the statement issued Monday said the change was made because of the larger conversation about gender identity going on around the country.

"For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America, along with schools, youth sports and other youth organizations, have ultimately deferred to the information on an individual's birth certificate to determine eligibility for our single-gender programs," the statement said. "However, that approach is no longer sufficient as communities and state laws are interpreting gender identity differently, and these laws vary widely from state to state."
I'm glad that the BSA is being dragged into the modern era. Now if they'd just soften their stance on mandatory religious beliefs so my own kids could join...

I’ve a question. We are seeing more and more of these “it’s” every day. Question;

Suppose we have one of these “it’s” that has committed a crime and the DNA evidence says that the suspect is a male. Now the description goes out but this suspect is actually a female. What does that do to DNA evidence?

quote:

To: Controlling Legal Authority

It's disgusting how far and how fast our nation has fallen into depravity. Just a few short years ago I was helping prosecute homosexuals for the CRIME of sodomy. The Bible defines sodomy as male-on-male sex or female-on-female sex. Period. Over the years people pharisaically added other behaviors to the definition of sodomy that have nothing to do with the Biblical definition. It's not some accident that our nation conformed its laws to God's commands. Our Founders did so purposefully: “The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which heaven itself has ordained.” ―George Washington They therefore understood that in order to be smiled upon (blessed) by God, both individuals and nations must be obedient to God. It's therefore no accident that our nation's laws were conformed to God's commands. What God abhorred, the USA criminalized. And greatly blessed we were because of our collective obedience, becoming the richest and most prosperous nation the world has ever seen. But in the past few decades we're falling over ourselves to be disobedient to God, legalizing more and more of the behaviors God despises. And our blessings have been steadily evaporating, like wisps of smoke. You can track our collective disobedience and the consequent divine wrath through the years. Roe was decided in the early 70s, and by the early 80s were were $1 trillion in debt. Then followed the decisions on homosexuality and we're now at $20 trillion, with our prosperity laughable. We're broke, and I don't see how we'll ever dig our way out of it with our current attitudes toward depravity. America will never be great again, enjoying God's full prosperity blessings, until America is obedient again. I like pretty much everything Trump has done, but he'll ultimately fail to make America great again without opposing homosexuality. He's shown a willingness to fight abortion, why not homosexuality too? They only comprise 1-2% of the population, but their acceptance by the nation just keeps God's wrath falling on us.

From University student identified as shooter in deadly mosque attack posted by freeper TigerClaws

From zero to :psyboom: in 7 posts flat.

quote:

To: All

A theory making the rounds is that the two original suspects were homosexual lovers who had been banned from the mosque, and that the shooting spree can be attributed to rage about that decision. This would perhaps explain why one suspect was not actually considered a suspect by the police after they discovered this aspect; it would also be consistent with the otherwise odd sequence of events involving Bissonette.

I should underscore that this is a theory making the rounds and not confirmed by any authorities. I remain concerned that a high level of news management continues in Canada during which hotheads of various sorts could draw many different (and probably false) conclusions and engage in retaliatory actions against those that they blame for the attack as they conceive it to have happened. This news management is perhaps taking place because authorities are trying to imagine a good spin to put on the set of events which have divided not the population at large but the special interest coalition that supports the government.

The suspect was known among his friends to make right wing, pro-Israel, anti-immigration, pro-Trump, anti-women posts on social media and elsewhere. This is remarkably similar to a whole bunch of other "lone wolf" shooter profiles.

Freep is in full denial, of course.

This guy in Canada is the guy they have been praying for for years. Finally a White guy committed an act of terrorism. Never mind the count is 20 to 1. This is really really really really bad.

One has to look long and hard to see any condemnation at all of the Islamic folks who do this. Mustn’t jump to conclusions you know.

They were under a lot of pressure. Something triggered it. They were almost helpless to stop themselves. It was the fault of others.

A relevant article, and thanks for posting. Some of the coverage of this case is disconcerting.

This Bissonnette is only a suspect. The evidence against him may be strong, but has not been tested in Court. So far, he has not yet entered a plea.

So I think it right to discuss the case, but I do think one must wait and not pronounce him guilty.
