And I am not referring to “nuts” as a psychiatric diagnosis (I really do not think the DSM 5 would validate that term) but as “outside the acceptable, understandable behavioral norms of society.” I agree with your definition of evil, and well, stupid pretty much speaks for itself.

We used to DREAM about a hole in the ground, we had to live in a lake.

I mean “nutcase” in a strictly pejorative sense. It’s not a diagnosis and not intended to imply that he is not in command of a sufficient amount of his faculties to be legally responsible for his actions.

So what your are suggesting is George Soros was really planning ahead and got a ringer to go to all of Trump events and act like a fan for 2 years just so he could have a false flag now by having a guy send him a real bomb that was somehow designed to not go off while still being an actual bomb?
(The argument I expect next from people is how he was a long game plant)

It’s still an arbitrary judgement of someone’s mental health, and that is frowned upon here.
There are plenty of decent, non-violent people all throughout the world who suffer from some form of mental illness, and automatically associating that Florida trashbag with them is horribly unfair and even stigmatizing to them.
I’ll stick with stupid and evil, until someone can provide concrete evidence to convince me otherwise.

“Nutcase” is a pejorative for “person with mental illness”.

As Anthony McAuliffe said to the Nazis at Bastogne: NUTS!
This guy is:
- guilty of terroristic bombing threats (still on probation, we’ll see)
- had a long criminal arrest record (including steroid use…)
- clearly a MAGA maniac (that ‘vanifesto’, his social media trail, and numerous photos of him with MAGA gear
- Anthony McAuliffe’s reply to the Nazis at Bastogne
That George Soros fella plays a really long game I tell ya

Depends on the agency. FBI is actually pretty well put together these days, Secret Service has mostly had its shit together. Federal Marshals. Few of the other Fed groups. Below the federal level its department to department, and it depends almost entirely on who’s in power higher up the ladder and how much they prefer things fucked.
I have been told you want to get a vintage car from a non road salt western state, especially a desert area. But you want the engine from an east coast moutain state, especially southern Appalachia. Something about the climate preserving engine seals and making it less likely to be seized up. Bodies rot out there fast though.
Maybe. But I can’t find a clear citation for the root language or source of the name Sayoc. It looks like its most common in the Philipines, so maybe Spanish. But it looks like you’ve got a bunch of citations from central European and Germanic countries too, so maybe there’s more than one name with the same spelling. Ceasar is a really common first name in the Cuban community in NY and Florida. Think like a third of my Miami Cuban uncle’s family are named Ceasar. And Hispanic names are fairly common in Native Americans in certain states, including Florida.
So. I dunno. That shit aint clearly identifiable.

Mod Note:
Again, I point to our community guidelines regarding making unfounded assumptions about any individual’s association or mental state.
Is the accused a trump supporter? Yes, clearly documented.
Is the accused suffering from mental illness? Until documented otherwise, do not speculate about it here.
Context:
Thank you.

What, you mean actually following the rules isn’t engaging in “Newspeak,” nor expressing ‘false outrage’?

I’m still scratching my head why my post was flagged and hidden. Stating Cleese’s comment that stupid people cannot by definition realize their stupid doesn’t speculate on mental state to my knowledge.

Dunno. But I don’t believe that is a common or valid definition of “stupid”. It is entirely possible to have below average intelligence and know it.

It could be inferred that you were indirectly calling our new comrade “stupid.”
One of my comments questioning his um… ‘logic’ was also eaten.
Oh, well; I knew the risks of counter-trolling before I took the gig.
