Extremely tragic, though it should be pointed out that Spain and Europe in general has far, far less traffic-related deaths, even in terms of individual automobiles let alone the much safer rail-based mode of transportation.

Ah, and therein lies the problem ladies & gentlemen.

• Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.

• “Fake” is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., “We don’t know whether it is true or not.”

• Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they’re extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?

Unverified? Yes. Corroborating some of what we already know? Also yes.

Proven fake? Definitely not. That is unless you are to believe the word of Republicans and Trump.

lmao this kid saw, “Russia if you’re listening,” the Mueller reporter (did not exonerate), numerous Trump cabinet members imprisoned for speaking to Russian spies, Krasnov and Steele dossier, Trump flying to Moscow in 80s only to within weeks upon return out a full page ad abolishing NATO in 3 major newspapers, saw the hand-delivered letter flown to Moscow by Rand Paul on behalf of Trump; saw numerous GOP Congressmen fly over to Moscow to have private meetings on 4th of July no less.

… And apparently cannot connect the dots lmao.

Putin couldn’t be happier by this chaos and distraction from Ukraine. Investment paying off.

Oof. Looks like polling showed this is making inroads with the apathetic and he was told he had to schedule an interview to calm the public and look sympathetic. He can never maintain this concern-troll shit up for long.

Such is the point. There’s a reason Donnie started his first term so aggressively picking fights with Canada and Norway. Fulfilling Putin’s wish.

Also diverts attention from Ukraine.

Not the first time fuckwit has done this, as article notes. Just saber-rattling bullshit. Usually means Russia is desperate.

Nope, not me. I am not fine with falsely equating film critics analyzing a film already completed to stochastic antagonists prodding what has yet to come.

Besides, like I said even if we entertain this false analogy, in a way, it’s like they’re preaching to a choir of fellow critics who all agree the film sucks. But they don’t offer any substantive way to improve it. Instead they just cry and complain to other film critics to find a way to make it better, or just keep yelling at the director to do something. Nobody likes these people.

Film critics can throw peanuts from the peanut gallery but nobody actually cares what they think if they don’t show they can make something better or even elucidate how to improve on the current script.

I’m not saying they can’t make such comments; but as a call to action? In terms of obvious suggestive stochastic rhetoric? That’s Chamberlain talk. Plain and simple.

You are telling me nothing I don’t already know; just with strong confidence from a position of not having to do anything yourself. Nobody likes Chamberlain armchair generals.

Do you have kids? What, specifically, would you do in my position? Please be very specific.

I appreciate the clarification and this helped me better understand your position. As one Strat player to another, I can relate. I have family to care for and all I do every day is think about the most viable ways I can contribute to the cause in improving my children’s future.

By all means, please proceed with throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery from far away, and I’ll continue calling out one’s Chamberlain-like excuses.

Silly wedge-driving tankies.

To those viewing be aware of users like this who have an expressed intent to fan stochastic flames and also wedge-drive. Obvious Russian tactics (and no, need not originate from there but certainly possible).

No, bridge was not quite crossed; people were ignorant. That’s a different story than rigged.

Fantasizing, fetischizing, about Viva la Revolucion isn’t going to cut it either.

I’m not in the US

Ah, and ladies & gentlemen — there it is. The convenient cop-out. Good friend, for your country pegged to the USD, you are but a mere plane-ticket away! (cue next excuse)

But hey, keep throwing peanuts from the peanut gallery and pretend you know better; though best not to say “we” if you’re not going to be in the fight, yeah buddy? ;)

Go to sleep, wedge-driving tankies.

In my opinion this is a very different sentiment than what was expressed above, and I am largely in agreement with you.

By all means, tell me your better plan – and by the way – you first.

Lots of tough talk from those throwing peanuts form the peanut gallery, I tell you h’wat lol.

The time to do something was November 5th, 2024 and the months preceding in GOTV. The current time is to reach out to every friend, acquaintance, co-worker, or maga person you know in your actual community and get offline. The next time to do something is voting for better Democratic candidates in the primaries. Throughout will be more No Kings protests which at every interval has helped chip away Trump’s support. The next time will be the midterms where the first real power can be taken back.

Don’t be stupid. Be smart. This incident, tragic though it is, is beneficial to the opposition the way CK was to them.

Do NOT give them a Reichstag fire excuse they’re trying so hard to bait out. Even the Minneapolis Mayor said this.

And if you criticize this shit, then I am ALL. Fucking. Ears on what your better alternative is, and why you’re going to lead it by example.

Then we’ll cross that bridge when it happens. Until then, we must assume they’re a go. Do not submit to apathy or defeatism.

Lots of trolls on here want exactly that.
