Christmas Tree Arson
The man accused of setting fire to the large Christmas tree outside of the Fox News headquarters in New York's Manhattan was released Wednesday night without bail due to criminal justice reforms implemented earlier this year.

Craig Tamanaha, 49, allegedly set on fire the 50-foot tree, which was adorned with 10,000 glass ornaments and 100,000 lights, in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The tree was located outside the midtown Manhattan building housing Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. About $500,000 in damages resulted from the blaze, according to the Post.

What's the difference between torching someones christmas tree in their front yard and burning a cross in someones front yard? The 'c' is deliberately lower case.

Oops, wrong photo.

Was that tree ignited NBC Jewish space lasers?

Maybe Fox should have raked under that tree.

What's it like to find your workplace under attack? How was that different from the January 6th insurrection?

Maybe the guy shouldn't have doused it with lighter fluid and lit it with a lighter. Just saying. I understand you're more interested in making glib smart-ass comments intended to provoke and deflect. Very trollish.

And that is not a glib smart-ass comment? And trollish.

First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Rake under the tree? Jewish space lasers? Jan. 6th insurrection? No smartass troll comments there. Your hard political bias is showing yet again.

I say it only for the reason that you constantly accuse me of political bias, and make politics out of any issue under discussion. Quite honestly, I am NOT politically biased at all. My opinions depend entirely on the subject matter and I don't give a damn whether it is upported by American leftists or rightists. I can also show a record in this club of criticising both left and right wing supported issues based on facts alone. You have been following this long enough to realise that.

Believe Me
Stalhandske appears to the right on many issues. In listening to his explanations, I perceive no bias. He only looks biased to the right who have drifted into such extremes they will push mouthwash, horse dewormer, and even landfill dirt over legitimate medicine.

Stal dismisses partisan positions and asks for open dialogue based on the facts. He truly doesn't let what insanity a party pushes or their history of violent fanatic facism influence his opinion on any other issue.

In my experience the right has gone so far off the rails I just assume they are grossly wrong and look for reasons they might have accidentally stumbled on a proper policy position. It is exceedingly rare to find such an instance, especially now. It used to occur more frequently, before Matt Gaetz, High School Dropout Lauren Boebert, Tantric Sex Goddess Marjorie Green, Gohmer Gohmert, Gym Jordan, Devin Nunes, and Chosen One Groper gained Putin's favor.

Devin Nunes
is out of a job? It is amazing to me he abandoned congress to take a position at Groper's media company. He must have been paid six times what he could make as a senator, and factored in how unlikely it is he'll win re-election in California after losing his lawsuit against a fake cow.

The man has always sold himself to the highest bidder. I just hope, for his sake, Groper paid him in advance. Because that media company is going to spark and fizzle like a Thumper hand load.

Just kidding. I'd trust Thumper's hand loads far more than any Groper business venture. I doubt Thumper has ever had a misfire. My grandfather, on the other hand, apparently ended up with some remarkably light loads once. And I know I dimpled primers that otherwise failed to unseat the bullet.

But as far a Groper and money are concerned, I would not trust him to launder it. I cannot imagine Putin obtained much value for his 2016 venture. I know he again ramped up activity for 2020, but did not succeed the second time.

It is incredible Bill Barr and John Ratcliffe promoted the lie China was acting on Biden's behalf while dismissing Putin's overt interference, as though they were receiving Rubles for their statements.

Groper also appointed Richard Grenell as acting director of the intelligence community, a man whose experience consisted of acting as a media consultant for a Hungarian dictator, Viktor Orban. Seems like if you were a bad actor, you were qualified for ANY role in Groper's playbook.

Xmas Tree?
It turns out it was not a real tree, just a decorated wire shell simulacrum of a real tree, in much the same way Tucker Carlson is a hollow simulacrum of a real human being.

Yes, I have made mistakes before and I'll make them again, I'm sure.
But, as far as taking you seriously, that is a mistake I'll probably not make again for as long as it takes for you to quit agreeing with and patronizing LS and the asinine comments he continues to make.

I agree that LS often uses somewhat 'colourful' language or style. The good thing with it is that it keeps the readers awake.

"colorful" language or style is NOT what that is and anyone who abets or boosts that slop is not worthy of being taken seriously.

Actually you just did it again 3 posts up. Most of LS's posts are troll posts and everyone here knows it. He knows it and you know it. Yet you try to play it off and dismiss his many troll posts as simply his "somewhat 'colourful' language or style". Being a troll is his style. He goes far beyond anything Pawn has posted and yet you repeatedly call Pawn a troll. Again everyone knows you give LS a pass because you agree with him and condemn Pawn because you disagree with him. At least be real and honest about it.

<<I agree that LS often uses somewhat 'colourful' language or style.>>

Thumper takes this as evidence Stalhandske supports everything I say?

Believe me, Ace says such colorful things they get deleted, but who agrees with him?

Most
It is possible a few things I write could be regarded as trollish. I am convinced Pawntificator does his level best to out troll me even when I am being straight up with you fellows--which accounts for the majority of my content if not also my sheer number of posts.

Look. Stalhandske is an idea guy. He doesn't give two bent counterfeit farthings over personality or political position. He wants to kick around ideas. All the better if those ideas share some solid footing back in reality.

Give him a better idea contrary to his current thought, and he can be persuaded to change his opinion. Like any true, good scientist, he is almost eager to be persuaded that his current views are mistaken. He doesn't take a position until he has a good reason, and he doesn't abandon a position unless shown a superior one--or even one of equal merit.

We would all do so much better to follow this example, myself included.

Trolling
Is it trolling when I quote glorious, godly Christian hero Groper verbatim? If it is, why elect idiots like him?

And we did not stop with Groper. We have a buttload of folks trying to outcompete him for asinine stupidity. Look at Lauren Boebert, who failed to graduate from high school, call a fellow representative an incestuous bigamist and a terrorist. The only terrorists abetted Groper's insurrection.

Look at Gomer "my mask gave me Covid" Gohmert, or Matt "let's file bills based on Redit conspiracy theories" Gaetz. Devin Nunes lost a lawsuit on a fake cow. Look at Marjorie "Jewish space lasers ignited California forests" Greene.

Now, to be fair, a Democrat once commented on islands flipping over--though he was hopped up on pain Meds at the time. What is the excuse for conservative legislators?

Also--I am not trolling here giving you God's honest quotes from these slimy imbeciles.

Biden’s Approval On Handling Crime Plummets
"We have a buttload of folks trying to outcompete him for asinine stupidity"

You mean, of course, THIS kind of asinine stupidity.
What do you expect when you endorse and promote no cash bail, emptying prisons, defunding the police, not prosecuting crime, and allowing riots as a form of protest?

This is called a self-induced error as well as asinine stupidity... from these slimy imbeciles.

3 posts up I wrote:

Is this abetting or boosting LS? I don't think so (except in a very one-sided mind). I think it os only a completely sincere expression of opinion, which should be allowed/accepted even here due to the 1st Amendment.

< Most of LS's posts are troll posts and everyone here knows it. He knows it and you know it.>

This has to do with my appaent misunderstanding of 'trolling'. In my memory, and by my definition, LS has never 'trolled'. But he has brought very sore and sick pieces to the reader's attention, often using somewhat colourful language - sometimes going beyond what GK accepts.

< Yet you try to play it off and dismiss his many troll posts as simply his "somewhat 'colourful' language or style". Being a troll is his style. He goes far beyond anything Pawn has posted and yet you repeatedly call Pawn a troll. >

I call Pawn a troll when he is trolling, which in my vocabulary means intervening into seriousdiscussions with diluting simle links to the Internet without comment. LS never behaves like that. He gives what you deserve in plain terms, except that you don't like it.

<Again everyone knows you give LS a pass because you agree with him and condemn Pawn because you disagree with him. At least be real and honest about it. >

I am 100% honest about this! You are not, even hiding about your opinions (e.g. on global warming)! I am honestly writing my opinions and ready to take the criticism; also ready to change my mind when shown to be wrong. I don't condemn Pawn generally (sometimes he shows some quite intelligent moves), but much of the time he is purely trolling. Incidentally, do you think this opinion of mine is unrelated to the fact that Pawn has been punished by GK several times. Or, are you saying that GK is part of the conspiracy?
