What the gently caress are you doing


edit: Reposting this for the new page:


Remember that "IED exploded on a playground" story that got posted here yesterday?

It wasn't an IED, and it didn't explode. It was a water bottle with some nuts and bolts in it that a homeless man collected.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/15/us/b...trnd/index.html

Can we perhaps stop posting sensationalist "breaking news" before it's verified? A few days ago we had a "mass shooting" posted here and in short order it was found that there was no shooting, not even a gun. When there is a shooting, people always post the bullshit about "multiple shooters" that always turns out to be false.

Please think before you post stuff, you don't win anything for being first.

From an article linked in that article https://www.ktvh.com/news/sierra-road-blocked-off-after-suspicious-package-found-near-rossiter-elementary

quote:

But at an afternoon news conference, Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton confirmed it did not appear to be an explosive.

...

Dutton said he understood the concern people have had over the changing reports, but that his office was releasing the information from their investigators as they got it.

“Our purpose was to let people know, one, there was no one injured,” he said. “Then we were told it did explode – still there was no one injured, the kids were safe. That’s what I needed to get out to the public; that’s why I reported the information we had.”

So, people were just reporting what the cops told them. In conclusion, never trust cops.

Trump making a dumbassed claim about making new nuclear weapons means he's either making poo poo up again, or someone accidentally told him a state secret and forgot that he leaks like sieve. At this point I'm going to go with the former but the latter isn't out of play. He may have even told Putin before he told anyone else.

If he means manufacturing more of them, it's not a state secret. I briefly spoke to a recruiter a year or so ago about a job that turned out to be manufacturing parts for new bombs (I thought it was for nuclear power plants). If he means whole new weapon designs, then that would be different.

At this rate, by the time trump is on trial he‘ll be legitimately senile enough that he won’t understand where he is or what he’s doing there. He’ll poo poo his pants (on purpose, of course) and incoherently mumble about his big golf courses enough that it may as well be a Cadaver Synod.

If the news gets something wrong, then we talk about how it was wrong. It's going to happen occasionally and there's no amount of "wait for x days/week/alternative news sources" or "think about your posts", that's going to stop the occasional misleading or incorrect news story (especially breaking news). I'm not seeing how that's enough of a problem that it should preclude talking about breaking news at all.

That's what I took it as. Maybe he remembers the headlines KJU or Putin made about new missiles here and there and didn't want to be the only kid on the playground without new toys.

cool that Trump can saber rattle but everyone else can't tell the terfs to gently caress off.

What a chicken poo poo company. Granted, as much as there's a silver lining in Trump incriminating himself and making a fool of himself on Twitter, I am sort of desperate for him to have a meltdown over being banned.

Lamont's a good dude. I worked for his campaign back during his Senate run and I always liked him. He's not nearly far enough to the left for where we are nowadays, but as far as business wing Democrats go you can do a lot worse.
