Just six days after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, a Bureau of Prisons “After-Actions team” swept the jail and shredded “huge amounts of paperwork,” recruiting the help of at least two inmates to dispose of the files in a dumpster, a newly une...

    Your conclusions about Biden are speculative and poorly supported. There is some validity to the unconfirmed and supposed bribes.

    I stand behind your fight. Lead us, since you know the way. /s

      In the thread below there are two people willing to sacrifice a great deal of time in order to convince this one person of their error. I think we might stand a chance of fielding better candidates next time.

      I suck I guess. I don’t think I should speak to anybody. I’m not meant to interact with my fellow man too much. This is my only social media account, it is recent. I may not be socialized enough to know how to interact appropriately with others. This was a failed experiment. I should have known better than to speak. I acquiesce to everybody’s opinions. I will be shutting down my account by the end of the day. It is obvious I do not belong here. Sorry for the ruckus.

      Yeah, okay. You’ve annoyed me just enough, and I am autistic just enough, that I’m willing to dig into this. What claims are you arguing are speculative and poorly supported, exactly? I’ll see what I can find.

        I will certainly entertain an individual not afraid to think, and I too would like to delve deeper. Let us begin with my following conclusions to see if we can determine any flawed logic or blatant inaccuracies. I too, am patient, willing, and have plenty of time.

        –Causal conclusion: Inaction: Trump escapes accountability - The post tries to draw a straight line from Biden not investigating to Trump avoiding jail. This is a causal claim that assumes the evidence existed, was prosecutable, and that action would have yielded a specific outcome — none of which are established.

        –Character conclusion: Biden was deliberately self-sabotaging The word “intentionally” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The post moves from “Biden made unpopular decisions” to “he did it on purpose,” without evidence of motive. Incompetence, institutional deference, and deliberate betrayal are very different things, but the post collapses them into one.

        –Prescriptive conclusion: Democrats need a different kind of candidate This is the post’s real destination — everything before it is framing to arrive here. The factual claims about the guards and Biden serve as emotional fuel to land on “we need someone that will actually fight.” It’s a political argument dressed in factual clothing.

          Damn man, I just got back from taking my wife and son to physical therapy. Now I plan to build a Meshtastic node with my son, teach him a few things. After that, my wife will be home and I’ll probably clean up a bit… maybe mop. Then we’re going to watch our TV show before bed, eventually rewrap my wounded finger, and go to sleep. I’ll only be on here for a few minutes at a time, like now as I’m shitting, providing half baked responses to whatever catches my attention. You sir, will get a fuller answer than I am able to provide now. Mostly likely, it will come on Monday while I’m busy procrastinating work items.

      Man, almost like you read them on social media and not a scientific journal…

          You still dont understand any of this…

          You could have asked questions, and then I could have explained things and even provided sources.

          Instead of doing that, you want everyone to pre-emptively source everything like a scientific journal would do.

          Like, do you this everywhere?

          If someone told you today was Saturday, would start screeching “calendar! Calendar! Calendar!”

          At them until they pulled out a calendar?

          Why should everyone predict what you would require a source for, instead of you just asking for one when you wanted one like literally every single human before you has managed?

          Why are you the special one everyone else has to accommodate?

            What’s the point of just speaking what’s on your mind when there is no or little validity to it? Oh, wait, I guess you just want to be fucking heard and validated on some random shower thoughts with no push back from reality. I’m sorry, I’m making you think.

            Look man, I did not ask for a source. I actually read what you had to say. I did my research to validate my thoughts and concluded what I posted, period.

              Obviously…

              I’m saying that’s how a rational person would have handled this…

              Something like:

              Hey man, im not aware of any of that and couldn’t find anything on a search. Could you elaborate or point me in the right direction?

              Super basic stuff.

                And I did do my due diligence and I fact checked his post and I came to my own conclusions. I had no need to have a discussion with somebody who was obviously erroneous in their assertions. If people want to talk, sure, I can do that. But once somebody attacks me, all bets are off, and that is what happened. OPs reaction to my disagreement was an ad hominum, not the beginning of a constructive discussion or valid critiques on my thinking.

                  I have to correct myself and expose my wrongs. I noticed that I was passive aggressive at the end of my original comment, perhaps that angered OP. I said the following at the end of my post. “I stand behind your fight. Lead us, since you know the way. /s”. That was unnecessary. OP did delete their retaliatory comment to me and I did not quote it, maybe that would given me more of a leg to stand on. I may have come off like an asshole. And to the surprise of a lesser asshole, he encountered a bigger asshole, and he backed the fuck up, because he will get fucking rocked.

                I’m not one of those people, you may be. I simply stated that I did not agree with some things. If a discussion was to be had the original poster could have refuted my claims and then said discussion could begin. Instead, he was upset by my comment and chose to belittle me. And I don’t take that shit.

                  No you didn’t. You bluntly stated that some things were not true. You then followed it up with a sarcastic comment.

                  Instead, he was upset by my comment and chose to belittle me. And I don’t take that shit.

                  If you’re not aware that sarcasm is combative in this context, why were you using it? And if you are aware, then surely the intention was to upset?
