So what is your plan, other than whining that “They (whoever ”they“ is) should do “something” (whatever “something” is).

What exactly is it that "someone should do?" What specifically should Siskind do? Conway is, by the way, running for Congress. That's "doing nothing," to you, I guess. What specifically are you doing?

When I was District Director for a member of Congress back in the 80s we didn’t check to see if people called more than once. But when people called “too often” we couldn’t help but notice, and stopped counting them. With tech today it would be easier to track individuals. I don’t know if they do.

But “Christians” want “GOD’S JUSTICE.” Ergo, “Christians” want, frantically want, war against (death of) their “enemies,” precisely the same as the people you hate. You keep trying to convince yourself it’s not. But it is.

False. It’s about $5 million. Or some say as much as $20 million, depending on how you allocate development cost. But it’s nowhere near $500 million. I hate Cheeto (and DeSantis) at least as much as you do. But it doesn’t help anyone to repeat silly things like that.

I don’t know where you learned what you think you know about Christianity, but, again, the war you’re talking about is precisely what “Christians” want. Armageddon. War that kills 1/3 of the global population. That’s why “Christians” support Israel. They are the center of the conflict.

Evangelical "Christians" want precisely the same thing, for precisely the same reason, even if they use different words to identify the "messiah."

With the caveat that war is sometimes justified. Like when one country illegally seizes territory of another and brutalizes the population, calling for “peace” is capitulation that rewards aggression and is the greater evil, as it leads to more and wider war.

The goal isn’t just to take down Harvard. It’s to scare every school into silence. To let Trump reshape education into MAGA dogma. This is how tyrants erase the future—one university at a time.

It is an absolute mystery why you continue to insist that the fact that a person died means it can’t have been a conspiracy. That’s just loony. Sorry.

I disagree about the possible level of stupidity of people. We've all seen things just as stupid as that. People are infinitely stupid. bonpote.com/en/the-5-bas... But that story (we pay you money to miss) is not the only possibility. There's coercion, e.g., which is far from impossible.

I almost hate myself for saying this, but I think your story is as plausible as any, including the lone gunman story. I'm not saying I believe you, but I AM saying this is one -- perhaps the only -- "big" conspiracy I find plausible. It even survives Occam.

... Especially given utter amorality of trump, etc. That doesn't mean it was a conspiracy. It does, however, mean that of all the conspiracies out there (JFK, RFK, MLK, 9/11, Princess Di, Big Pharma hiding cancer cures, and a thousand more) this is maybe the only one I'm not comfortable dismissing.

I'm not asserting they did it intentionally. I'm not even asserting there was a conspiracy. It's far more likely, in fact, that the "official story" is the correct one. I'm just saying: a) killing Comperatore would, IMHO, at best be irrelevant to someone evil enough to plan the assassination, and...

No one is less apt to adopt conspiracies than I am. I’ve even taught a conspiracy theories class (I’m a community college government teacher). But to say that tragic death is an unassailable argument against a conspiracy is just silly.

patricktexas.bsky.social @patricktexas.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I don’t know if it was some kind of conspiracy or not. But the fact that someone behind him was killed is NOT evidence it wasn’t. If it were a conspiracy, that killing could easily have been intended to provide verisimilitude. And that’s just one possibility.

"Impeach?" Right. maga has a majority in the House and Senate. He's not going to be impeached, and if he were, he wouldn't be convicted in the Senate. Saying "impeach" is a waste of bandwidth. Something else has to happen.
