  • Well that’s a great non-sequitur that does nothing to help your argument.

    Crockett said the description of Robinson’s past doesn’t “fit with the person we came to know as Mike King.”

    “The man we knew showed up with respect, care, and commitment to protecting others,” Crockett said in a post on X that included her statement.

    “We are praying for the friends and family of the man that we knew as Mike King. Mike had been in and around our team for years. There was never any reason to suspect that he wasn’t who he held himself out to be,” she said in her statement.

    “He never endangered our team, worked diligently, coordinated with local law enforcement, and maintained positive relationships throughout the community,” said Crockett, who recently lost the Democratic Senate nomination in Texas to state Rep. James Talarico.

    She added that as a public defender, she believed in “redemption” and “second chances.”

    She said an initial review of Robinson’s “limited criminal history” showed he had no violent offenses.

    Her being a normal, compassionate, empathetic human being and not saying “this guy deserved to be killed by police”, oh the horror!! And once again, a big ol’ non-sequitur that does nothing to do with or help your argument.

    Again, back to the original discussion, no getting off track. Team follow procedure, team hands off background check to the place outlined by procedure, procedure comes back and says “good”. The root is a bad procedure, not her team so blame procedure, not the persons following a bad procedure. It’s not a hard concept to understand here but you still seem to be on some sort of holy crusade to try and prove that she should have done more despite the safeguards that was supposed to work failing.

    Not hard to understand but again sixth grade reading comprehension and war thunder apparently. But hey you do you there buddy you have a good one and bless your heart.

    ETA: So just more non-sequiturs and then a big ol’ ad-hominem about bigotry when no one was even talking about her race. Pathetic and to the block list for being this disingenous.


  • Again, her team followed the protocol outlined by Congress, that process that Congress says to follow to ensure a person is eligible and safe to hire, her team throws it to them to check and things comes back with a thumbs up for hiring.

    See when you follow the rules and procedures outlined by someone else and the procedure showed deficiencies in the process, an adult would point out the deficiency in the process, fix the process, and not blame the person who followed the process. But again, sixth grade reading comprehension level.

    As for

    I’d be shocked if “verify this is the same person as the paperwork says” isn’t a step…

    And now you’re just throwing out bullshit conjecture as fact, it’s quite a pathetic attempt to bolster your flawed argument with made up crap just because you don’t like Crockett.


  • Are you that dense that you think that she’s personally did the background check and verification/validation of this person on her security team?

    That’s not how any of this works here buddy especially when you yourself quoted

    She said her team “followed all protocols outlined by the House to contract additional security,” adding that it had been approved to hire the man it knew as Mike King.

    So her team followed what was recommended and required by Congress but somehow it’s her fault for following what was recommended and required by Congress. Sigh…I guess I really shouldn’t expect so much from American society that has a average reading comprehension level of a sixth grader.

























  • I mean US corporations are never one to squander an opportunity to gouge the customer.

    Remember the washing machine tariffs that Trump first administration put out? Not only did it raise prices “foreign” washing machines AND dryers, the US companies didn’t bother to update their machines to compete with features or reliability, they ended up cutting factory jobs and RAISING their prices for US made washing machines and dryers to match the tariffed completion.

    I mean why let a good opportunity to gouge the customer with your inferior product if the government is backing you?
