posted by HereticAs honest (and classy) of a statement as "the right is desperately hoping this dude who shot up the newsroom in Maryland is from another country"!
Why would he need to be from another country? How about a Maxine Waters campaign volunteer? Oh wait, something like that already happened....
So while the bodies are still warm, Anderson Cooper manages to get one of the survivors who says, on air, "fuck thoughts and prayers".
posted by majorsparkJust reading through a few pages of this thread titled to post examples of the lunacy of the left it seems to get some peoples jimmies rustled. It's like by pointing out left wing lunacy you are somehow excluding right wing lunacy.
It's called whataboutism. The left uses it to justify their actions.

Took all of 2 hours before people started blaming Trump bc the dude had 1 post (pre-President Trump) about him suing a media outlet. The only CLEAR motive is that he was suing the newspaper AND was a psycho who stalked women.
And anyone who tried blaming Maxine Waters for this is a moron too.

He only did this because he had access to a rabbit hunting shotgun

Socialist psycho shoots up the place and it is politically motivated.
Boogie: "guise this happens on both sides."

Did the F word hurt your feelz?

Most people drop the fbomb at times so I doubt it's a matter of feelz. However it is IMO a little outrageous when there comes a time when all other people can do to is offer you "thoughts and prayers" and you've gotta be an ungrateful ass. Absolutely nothing wrong with handling yourself with some sort of dignity.
Lol, a person just survived an incident where a number of his co-workers was killed and he's an "ungrateful ass" because he didn't want to hear a meaningless platitude.
Wake me when "thoughts and prayers" actually have actual benefit.
^^ OH NO YOU DIDN'T!

Lol, this is a site where the minute anyone says anything critical about the right, QQ or someone immediately jumps in with a retort about how it's really about the left, but whatever!
That tactic is nothing new. It's been used by both sides for decades. Shocking that our resident cheerleaders can't figure this out!

Unless you're offering money to help pay for burial expenses and/or doctor bills, everything else is a platitude. Horrible things happen to people I'm not discounting that. But if somebody is at least trying to offer you some sort of comfort when they can offer nothing else and you say "fuck your thoughts and prayers" - yes, you are an ungrateful ass. And many people do find comfort to hear that phrase, it's not unheard of. Nothing wrong with taking what comfort people can offer you with a little bit of grace.
And as I said in my earlier post, it's my opinion. If you think "fuck your thoughts and prayers" is appropriate, good on you!

It'll probably be at the same time some random hashtag works. #resist

I just love the mental gymnastics it takes for some people to (a) deflect all blame to the other side, at all times AND (b) whine about how the other side deflects blame. Without showing the least bit of self awareness while doing so.

I don't play the hashtag game either. It and prayer are equally worthless in real life.
The people who yell and scream thoughts and prayers are the same people who yell “ban guns!” After every shooting. They’re worthless people with worthless opinions and worthless actions in a time where we need real action.
It never fails when this type of discussion goes down this current path, Auto will chime in with his all caps + !!! mockery post as if it is a mic drop.
Auto legitimately believes that 95% of this website is MAGA!!! I asked Auto earlier outside of CC and QO to identify the MAGA people and still no real answer.
Also, I think you all are missing the entire point (or maybe I am) of gut's post. It's not a debate of the BAN GUNS VS T's & P's people. It was more so pointing out how the media couldn't help themselves and had to get these people on national television instead of giving them time after such a traumatic experience. That's shitty regardless where you stand in that stupid ass debate you all are having.
95%? Don't be so lazy. I never said that. The site leans to the right. It's not hard to figure out. I enjoy laughing at the hypocrisy and illogical thinking form both sides. Serious discussion left the building a long time ago.

Is this in reference to me? If so, this is about as dumb as me saying you are on the left's autistic screeching train. Do better.
posted by AutomatikMore like this forum collectively. There is no middle ground anymore.
Sorry, i didn't dig deep and calculate the sabermetrics when I said 95%. Would you like to provide a % that more accurately fits your statement? I would say the quoted posts above pretty much imply that you believe most of us think anyone is a libtard if they aren't on the MAGA train. I am asking who is on the MAGA train outside of spock/QO. This forum does lean right, but mostly right moderate or right libetarian if you want to classify it as that.
