As we say here at work, "If you stir the pot, don't be surprised by the **** that floats up."

So... no facial tattoos = glowie / false flag. Facial tattoos = just ignore it. Have I got that right? Which is why I'm curious to see which group Brainey tries to pin this one on.
Everything you've written about this has been loaded and in bad faith. Brain even gave you a legitimate answer to the original loaded question and you ignored it. You have continually put words in brains mouth and assumed his motives, how can you think any of that is in good faith?

Brainey tends to speak in riddles. I'm doing my best to infer logical rules from them.

The Jan 6th thing was, according to y'all, done by a combination of "glowies" (FBI agents in disguise) and BLM / Antifa members looking to cause havoc.

None of them, so far as I can recall, had facial tattoos.

The Highland Park guy, who has confessed and I think we can all agree was the person who did the actual shooting, has facial tattoos. He also has a really long and weird history of political affiliation, which people at either extreme of the political spectrum could cherry-pick as evidence of him being either a far-rightist (attendance at various Trump events, photos of himself waving / wearing a Trump flag, etc), as well as being a far-leftist (such as Leo Hohmann's rather lengthy analysis which tries to tie Crimo in with Antifa, the occult, and progressive socialist movement.)

And yet, instead of going full-on glowie, Brainey instead took a very dismissive tactic, which came as a surprise to me.

I'm trying to construct a mental framework for understanding the rules by which he operates in this regard.

You do understand that not everything is a glow op right? Just because the Jan 6th bullshit glows doesn't mean this does. Or are you trying to say that you don't believe there were federal agents or antifa involved in the mostly peaceful capital protest? You'd be absolutely dense to believe that the FBI wouldn't partake in that, they have a long history of grooming and entrapment.

This one reads as a mentally ill loser with daddy issues as brain already said. Do you disagree in some way? Guy has face ink that's enough evidence of daddy issues and mental illness, what more do you need?

I never seen saw a picture of him before I wrote that, btw. I was too busy drinking



all day.


From my minimal research on the dude, I quickly and easily came to the conclusion he was a mentally-ill left-winged(redundant) nutjob(more redundancy). In fact, like most mass-shooters, I can't find anything online that suggest he's could be considered a radical right-winged domestics terrorist. Having a Trump bobblehead to hang out with his sex doll doesn't count. Just a fucked up loser with no purpose, skills, upbringing.


but yes, jan 6 -- the least violent, most insignificant day in history -- was a glowie operation.


meanwhile:

Mr. Anti-science here with another piece of misinformation:

https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/8/2219?s=09

The Incidence of Myocarditis and Pericarditis in Post COVID-19 Unvaccinated Patients—A Large Population-Based Study

Abstract: We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.


So remember: it's anti-science to know that the symptoms of "long-covid" are in fact the symptoms of the poisonous vaccine that doesn't work. It IS, however, science to explain away all the sudden heart-related adult deaths with a silly acronym.

It's weird the military doesn't want healthy men.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/...-benefits.html

Army Cuts Off More Than 60K Unvaccinated Guard and Reserve Soldiers from Pay and Benefits

Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits, Army officials announced Friday.

"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement.

trust. obey. love.

https://www.wnd.com/2022/07/federal-...reach-workers/

Federal Reserve report: 75% of $800 billion PPP didn't reach workers

Study shows taxpayers billed for $4 for every $1 that reached employees


A new report from two officers of the Federal Reserve has concluded that the vast majority of the billions of dollars spent for the Paycheck Protection Program, instituted to help save jobs when officials shut down America's economy over the COVID-19 pandemic, went astray.
it's almost like covid was a weapon scam to make certain people rich and ruin the economy...

Time to lighten the mood in here a bit.



I have to say I am in awe of this one. To my untrained eye it is a masterful job.

I'm surprised she didn't pour red paint all over those pants and prance around after the Roe reversal.
