  • White House backtracks initial claims about Alex Pretti after intense backlash

    Jump

  • Pretti's pistol is a Sig P230

    Which has (allegedly) issues with what appears to be called "uncommanded" discharge

    That is, a discharge when being handled otherwise normally, and therefore neither accidental nor negligent.

    It is possible, though I would see this as NO EXCUSE, that Pretti's gun discharged and the ice agent fired (wrongly) in reaction to that noise.

    Some close analysis of the frame-by-frame appear to clearly show the slide pushed back, while in the same frame seeming to show gray jacket with four fingers around the grip and none inside the trigger guard.

    HOWEVER I am not a video expert

    This (and every killing which involved an ice/cbp operation) deserved to be thoroughly and impartially investigated

    Sorry this is bad paste from my spreadsheet, and doesn't include the links.

    But only two of these even have primary challengers.

  • Nah, typical 2A "enthusiasts" care a lot more about whether that person was carrying a firearm legally, under whatever applicable laws. In some states, that is no law at all. In MN, it's a permit.

    Granted, a lot of Republican gun owners would make a racially biased assumption that a Somali migrant is less likely to have a proper permit, and those same folks have a lot more benefit-of-doubt for fellow white males.

    But, in my lived experience as a strongly left-leaning person embedded quite deeply in US gun culture, all of those folks would see themselves in the shoes of any man, of any race, in Pretti's situation.

    You might not think that's any better than a racial bias, because it's an in-group bias.

  • The trick to getting people to be outraged about your murder hasn't much to do with being black or white or brown

    It's mostly about the murder being on-camera, from multiple angles, filmed by people and released to public scrutiny immediately

    As well as it being very extremely clear that it was an unnecessary killing, a deliberate murder.

    So, if you're gonna get killed next week, please make sure there are plenty of witnesses with cameras all around you.

  • All of these wonderfully nerdy, techy and complicated answers

    I just use Whatsapp on the phone, and Whatsapp Web in a browser tab.

    It would probably work as well work signal, but the folks I need to communicate with are all in Whatsapp so....

    Adolf Hitler likely had a micropenis — and just one ball

  • I have similar feelings and experiences as you, but have learnt while doing.. uhh internet research, that micropeens do in fact have a pretty extensive and well-developed fanbase.

    The acronym 'sph' is not very affirming, but there's a hole other side to the genre that's really quite supportive.

    Some guys have all the luck, it seems.

  • Or rather, a Democratic majority Congress could USE that power to fix some things, and then shelve it.

    Would they actually do that? X•doubt

    Remember their names for the PRIMARIES

    Most the Losers List above don't expect to keep their seats or are otherwise election-proof to a degree, but it's still important to pay attention in the primary.

    Instead of ending up with a DNC-approved corpo-Dem, we need better candidates to win the PRIMARY

  • Mike Johnson won't call the House in until after the 2 Dec special election in TN-07 Aftyn Behn is running against a maga candidate for a vacant seat

    If she loses the election, then this cancels Grijalva's vote and then it will be 'safe' for the Pedo Protection Party to bring the House back.

    When she wins..... Who knows.

    The House will stay out until then, which is a major contributing factor to why the GOP was so desperate to peel off the ten Dork Dems on the Losers List above. They can NOT accept anything that would send the CR back to the House because the House is not available until 3 Dec.

    Send Behn some dollars if you can, many small donations can have a great impact. She accepts no corp pac or iapac money

    Also, she has a substack for posting about issues

    Much later edit: Dunno why I had any faith in Schumer to stay the course. Of course they caved.
