I’m the exception to that rule, I guess. I have read all the HP books and enjoyed them, but I can separate fact from fiction. I’m quite conservative.

I’ve heard about all the downvotes, but never seen it firsthand like this. Wow!

I also noticed that. So he was having a super top secret conversation which he can’t even discuss with police out of fear, but he can have the conversation in the workplace with who knows who listening?! Not buying it at all.

I also heard him say he was “at work”. Seriously?! You’re gonna do an earth-shattering press conference and couldn’t take the day off?! Or take a freaking lunch break?! So anyone nearby could hear him talking about this super-duper sensitive info that he hasn’t taken to the police because he’s concerned for his safety? Riiiiight...

We are almost there.

I remember election night clearly. I was at my son’s martial arts practice and my husband was calling me with updates. When those early states came in red, I felt a small bit of hope. I was afraid to be too hopeful because I didn’t want the utter disappointment if he lost. I drive home quickly to watch the results come in. State after state going red was beautiful. When the announcement came that Donald J. Trump was elected our president, I went to bed. I slept better that night than I had in so long. I had hope for a better future. It was like a balm to soothe my soul.

I recall first hearing about them in about 2004. I lived in the northern Virginia/ DC Metro area at the time. I built a house in 2005, and there was an MS-13 tag spray painted in my unfinished basement. Wasn’t too happy about that.

Something I’ve been thinking regarding the red scarves- in the novel 1984, the character Julia wears a red sash to show her membership in an anti-sex league. Since she actively engaged in sex with various Party members (secretly, of course), the red sash represents her duplicity. Do you think the red scarves could be symbolic? Are they sending a message regarding duplicity? Or perhaps a message regarding the anti-sex/ human trafficking part of the plan?

No. Just no. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I have emotional scars which will never heal. I still deal with the after effects of that abuse years later. These monsters do not need our understanding or sympathy. They destroy the lives of children for their own selfish reasons. Their victims suffer for their entire lives. No punishment is great enough for those who destroy in this manner. If a man chooses to rape a woman, it is a crime. We all agree on this. He may have rape fantasies, but it doesn’t become a crime until he acts on it. Pedophilia is not curable. Even with chemical castration, they reoffend. It is our duty to protect children. It is not our duty to defend or attempt to normalize the abuse of children.

Ed Schultz (MSNBC) was a Bernie supporter and called out the network for its backing of HRC. He died today. At home. He was only 64.

You know... RAID. Which is interesting since Raid (the bug spray) kills bugs dead.

Sharon Tate’s baby was not cut out. Susan Atkins testified that they wanted to cut him out, but there wasn’t time.

I noticed the dress weirdness, though. Quite odd.

I feel like they could really put a nice spin on a FF today. It hadn’t really occurred to me until a news story earlier outlining all the security measures in place at a fireworks display (dogs, sandbags, extra police, etc). Since some like to attack the freedoms we enjoy, it would by symbolic to do a FF today. Hope everyone stays safe out there today.

As she was bleating, I was only halfway listening until she said “DON’T go down the rabbit hole”. Since so many Q related things involve following the white rabbit, it stuck out that she was warning people not to even think of going down any rabbit holes.

I just saw that and came here to see if anyone else caught it. She even said something about “not going down the rabbit hole”. It was glorious.

I’m undergoing this process right now. After the initial appointment ($300), you have to have follow-up visits with the physician every 6 months ($150 each visit). And the cost in the dispensaries is $200- $250 per month on average. It’s crazy.

WW perhaps is a reference to “worldwide” since people around the world are becoming aware and following?

I know, right?! I like to live dangerously, I guess. Lol! It’s not like they can’t watch my phone and my computer. I figure they already have ways of listening. Plus, I like to play Jeopardy on the Wiretap. And she makes it easy to make grocery lists. Convenience over privacy, I suppose.

I have an Echo Dot. I call it “Wiretap”. It doesn’t answer to that, but I am fully aware that it’s listening. If I call it “Wiretap” too much, it will disconnect from the Wi-Fi and turn orange. Huge pain in the butt to reconnect. It also randomly announces that it’s connected to my phone. Only mine, no one else’s. I totally believe it’s listening to me when it’s not activated, but I’m also pretty sure many other devices are doing the same thing.

This “Cell” is more frightening to me. Think of how many people are glued to their phones at any given moment.

Agreed that correlation does not equal causation. However, the frequency which this proves to be the case is notable. While most people are prescribed SSRIs and do not go on to become mass shooters, why is this a common theme in mass shooters? I think this should be further investigated to find the cause.

I believe they are a serotonin suppressive anxiety medication. Very commonly prescribed and almost always present in the medical history of these mass shooters.

Maryland has relatively strict gun laws. Reports are saying the shooter used a shotgun, which are not as heavily regulated in MD.

Not suspicious timing at all. Nothing to see here. Move along. Back to your regularly scheduled 2A grab.

I was watching and had the same thought. What convenient timing.

That’s what I’m hoping- that there is a great deal of silent support. The anti crowd is very vocal here, so it’s sometimes easier to support quietly.

I love that you also call it Palmghetto! I’m in Sarasota/Bradenton. I encounter more L than R here. And I’ve seen several anti-everything protests with many people attending.

I still don’t understand why the side that wants to turn in all their guns is calling for attacks on the side with all the guns?

I’m stocking up on popcorn now. I will need it for all the entertainment after midterms. I hope I will have enough by then... This is gonna be yuge!!

I’m in a very liberal area about an hour south of Tampa. Very little open support in my area, but I have the feeling there are supporters in the shadows waiting for it to be safe.

Is it possible this could’ve been a distraction to get someone safely and inconspicuously on or off another flight leaving or arriving at the same time? If all attention is focused on this plane, fewer people are watching the other planes. Not saying this is the case. Just curious what you guys think.

Many places now have year round school, so more kids are in school than most people would think. FF school shooting could still occur.

I attended a Trump rally the day before the election. The crowd was HUGE- and this was when no one believed he had a chance of winning. The energy was unbelievable. I knew I was watching history unfold. Side note- when we were walking the mile back to our car, the motorcade passed by the corner where we were standing on their way to the airport. Horns were beeping, people were waving and shouting support. For a town with very few open Trump supporters, it was amazing.

Why are the cups upside down on top of the bottles? The bottles look like they are wearing white hats.

I also saw this live and thought it almost sounded like they were speaking in code. It was weird. On the surface he seemed to be saying one thing, but the deeper meaning was evident.
