    But ATW, you did say early on that ALL leftish from earth to the moon want to desperately paint this as MAGA fault. Speaker Pelosi is a major leader of the leftish.

    She knows the San Francisco scene better...the Far Left demonstrated in front of her house 60+ times, and this guy was there before.

    As I have always said, far left and far right are not that far apart.

    Can you please point me to the bolded part? Where is this accessible on the internet - anywhere - and clearly attributable to him? Thanks.

    My point is your generalization is clearly wrong since Speaker Pelosi is representing a major flank of the left.

    ps. As a leader of the Mainstream Left, she gets demonized by many on the Right and the very progressive left. I have watched her from time to time. She is a pretty religious person that sticks to policy arguments. Maybe naive on my part but I haven't seen her going "dirty" or is ever worthy of the harsh criticism of her as a 'very bad' person. I'm pretty sure many people dislike her policy, but hating her, the person ... misplaced in my book.

    They aren't far apart. Far right, however, is no longer just far right but mainstream within the Republican party.

    "In Congress, the trend is clear: In the five years following Donald Trump’s election as president, threats against members of Congress increased more than tenfold to 9,625 last year, according to the Capitol Police. "

    you have posted dozens of tweets and blogs implying that was what was going on. why lie about it when your posts are there for all to see?

    thats what youre talking about now that your gay tryst gone awry story has gone up in flames.

    his ex-partner from 20 years ago said he had leftist beliefs. his family and others in his life currently have said he recently went off the deep end into right-wing conspiracy theories and q-anon. not to mention statements he gave to police as to his motives, which seem like trumper talking points...why are you continually ignoring that?

    you do understand that this can all be true...he is a mentally ill person who espoused leftist beliefs at one point and recently started getting into right-wing Q-annon beliefs.

    Though this article is relevant to any thread in which the usual suspects deflect and defend dip$hit and the cancerous GOP, it seems especially relevant in this one...

    Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds
    New discoveries about the human mind show the limitations of reason.

    In 1975, researchers at Stanford invited a group of undergraduates to take part in a study about suicide. They were presented with pairs of suicide notes. In each pair, one note had been composed by a random individual, the other by a person who had subsequently taken his own life. The students were then asked to distinguish between the genuine notes and the fake ones.

    Some students discovered that they had a genius for the task. Out of twenty-five pairs of notes, they correctly identified the real one twenty-four times. Others discovered that they were hopeless. They identified the real note in only ten instances.

    As is often the case with psychological studies, the whole setup was a put-on. Though half the notes were indeed genuine—they’d been obtained from the Los Angeles County coroner’s office—the scores were fictitious. The students who’d been told they were almost always right were, on average, no more discerning than those who had been told they were mostly wrong.

    In the second phase of the study, the deception was revealed. The students were told that the real point of the experiment was to gauge their responses to thinking they were right or wrong. (This, it turned out, was also a deception.) Finally, the students were asked to estimate how many suicide notes they had actually categorized correctly, and how many they thought an average student would get right. At this point, something curious happened. The students in the high-score group said that they thought they had, in fact, done quite well—significantly better than the average student—even though, as they’d just been told, they had zero grounds for believing this. Conversely, those who’d been assigned to the low-score group said that they thought they had done significantly worse than the average student—a conclusion that was equally unfounded.

    “Once formed,” the researchers observed dryly, “impressions are remarkably perseverant.”

    sure...this very thread. you have calmed down on the "gay tryst gone awry" theory, but the first 40 or so pages of this thread would be a good start if you need a reminder of all the tweets and blogs you were posting that were making that argument.

    For the record, some of the tweets you've been posting have already been removed for being false and misleading. So pointing to exact examples might be difficult.

    Maybe you can go back to those tweets and use the wayback machine to show us what those removed tweets are.

    Great read that illustrates time and time again the irrationality of human behavior in economics.

    So you have nothing. Just like with your claim that DePape is "right-wing".

    P.S.: Also, you have no idea why that tweet is gone. So your claim that the tweets "have already been removed for being false and misleading" is purely made up. Like most of the nonsense you write.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/police-refuse-release-mugshot-pelosi-hammer-attack-suspect

    San Francisco authorities are refusing to release the mugshot of David DePape, the suspect arrested in the Oct. 28 hammer attack of Paul Pelosi, husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California).

    [​IMG]

    City police as well as the county sheriff’s office both denied The Epoch Times’ emailed requests for the mugshot of DePape, 42.

    An initial request was sent to the San Francisco County Sheriff’s Office, which operates the jail where DePape is being held. An officer replied: “We do not own the rights to mugshots;” San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) does.

    The SFPD public information officer, Officer Nicole Pacchetti, told The Epoch Times: “Under the current circumstances we do not release mugshots of the suspect.”

    Although police across the United States routinely release mugshots of arrested suspects, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott announced in 2020 that he would no longer release mugshots “except in circumstances where their release is necessary to warn the public of imminent danger or to enlist the public’s assistance in locating individuals, including at-risk persons.”

    At the time, the chief cited research showing that widespread publication of mugshots “fosters racial bias and vastly overstates the propensity of black and brown men to engage in criminal behavior.” Scott also said that refusing to release mugshots reinforces a cornerstone of American jurisprudence: “innocent until proven guilty.”

    The Epoch Times and other news media also have been denied other commonly released records in the Pelosi-DePape case. San Francisco’s top prosecutor confirmed Nov. 3 she was refusing to release a recording of Pelosi’s 911 call and officers’ body camera footage.

    (...)

    ---------------------

    Why are they refusing to release all of that?

    And what about the guy's criminal record? Why is that not being released? Does he have one?

    The ONLY logical answer is that it is all a vast left wing conspiracy trying to blame the right wing, and also listen to the actual words and Internet postings of the attacker.

    Another thing I find weird is, according to the written affidavit, he admits having hit Mr. Pelosi in the head with the hammer - but then he pleads not guilty on all charges? This seems contradictory.
