I honestly don't think she would know what a fact was even if it flew directly into her face. She's QAnon, and ended up running unopposed.

She will not run unopposed again.


I know virtually nothing about her.
As the brilliant intellect that I am, I am keeping an open mind while I collect the facts. :mrgreen:
I don't *expect* others to do the same, but I hope they would. <cheeky> :P

I've also heard women refer to men as being "gorgeous," "hot," "cute," things like that. I've no objection to that. I, myself, have been told that I have "pretty eyes."

It's not as common these days----but as I was growing up, certain women were referred to as being "handsome," with no insult meant.


I have always been a handsome skunk, regardless of what others may think. 8)

Welcome to the world of partisan politics. Nothing is out of bounds, the opposition must me demonized and slammed in any way possible.


It may have escaped you but Marjorie is the one making this tragedy into a political issue


So are you. And you're utlizing all the disgusting tactics to demonize someone that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

In other words, you're part of the problem not the solution.


I don't think cyber realises when he has lost the battle. :scratch: :mrgreen:

Mary Lemanski, the former Democratic Party of DuPage County social media director, compared the driver who plowed into a Christmas parade outside Milwaukee to Kyle Rittenhouse.

I find it disrespectful political hyperpartisanship.
But I am used to people being emotionalistic, irrational ratbags. 8)

Thanks for clarifying.

I don't want to speak for DW, but I'm quite sure nothing escapes her either.

There won’t be any bail in this case. Automatic remand.


And yet here we are, with bail ordered (albeit set at a high amount):
Quote:
Mr. Brooks, who cried at the defense table in his first court appearance on Tuesday afternoon, was charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and ordered held on $5 million cash bail. Prosecutors said they learned of the sixth death, of an 8-year-old boy, on Tuesday and intended to file another homicide charge.

It looks damning, but they are only words.
It is not as if he carried out his threats.
Oh, wait. 8O

Anti-white racist?
Does such a thing exist? :scratch:

Officers at the scene later described what he did as deliberate.
We are *so* close to the threshold of hate, I can taste it.
Might as well go for it, cyber. 8)

She hasn't caught me making a logical error, yet, so some skunks do escape her. :mrgreen:

The only thing I can see that *might* mitigate Brooks' crime is if he is mentally ill.
I am not interested in considering if he was taking drugs, at the time.
I have my limits also. 8)

From the "Probable cause" section of the criminal complaint:
Quote:
it was clear to Officer Butryn that this was an intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible.

[...]

Detective Trussoni spoke with multiple citizen witnesses who were present during the parade. One witness indicated "As I continued to watch the SUV, it continued to drive in a zig zag motion. It was like the SUV was trying to avoid vehicles, not people. There was no attempt made by the vehicle to stop, much less slow down."

There may be a small amount of duplication between some of the above images.
The link I have to the complete criminal complaint is currently unavailable (likely due to a large number of people trying to access it).

Man, they're sure in a hurry not to figure out the motive with this one, aren't they?

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that he wasn't immediately remanded, with no hope of bail.

He would surely have been remanded in New York State.

By the way: there is no death penalty in Wisconsin.

Brooks, I believe, had ample opportunity to get out of the parade route. I can't see any way that this was an "accident."

I don't want to hear anything about this being a "product of racism," or something like that. I doubt very much there will be apologists for Brooks' actions.

It's true that racism can traumatize people....but this goes way beyond the pale.
