    Among the most damning pieces of evidence in the case was a 15-minute video published on YouTube after the slaying of Michael Mohn, 68, who had long worked for the US army corps of engineers. In it, Justin Mohn, his son, spouted rightwing conspiracy theories, lobbied for militias to torture and execute his father’s fellow federal government colleagues, and denounced immigration, LGBTQ+ people, the Black Lives Matter movement and antifascist activists.

    Talk about extreme.  Putting this under spoiler.  It's not for the faint of heart:

    if i were the family i would sue every single right wing media outlet that filled the son's head with the narrative that his inability to find a job is the fault of government workers.

    anti woke, anti blm, anti government, sounds like some of the people that pop in here on occasion and get themselves permabanned. just completely brainwashed.

    Bronx girl’? AOC's Yorktown High School yearbook photo and nickname spark debate

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faces renewed criticism over her Bronx identity following a high school photo's resurfacing.

    A resurfaced high school yearbook photo and a renewed push by a Republican legislator have once again brought into focus the controversy of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being a “Bronx girl.”

    The image, shared by New York State Assemblyman Matt Slater, shows a young Ocasio-Cortez as a freshman at Yorktown High School in Westchester County.

    “I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully,” she posted on X, after she clashed with President Donald Trump on social media over military action in Iran.

    @AOC if you’re a BX girl, then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already,” Slater replied, suggesting that her “tough girl” Bronx image doesn’t align with her time in the suburbs.

    Since her 2018 win over a long-time Democratic incumbent, her personal tale has been an easy target for her opponents.


    ….


    Not only is her claim to voters dishonest, the language she uses to put down men would be disgusting if they used it on her. And an elected rep has the need to get a laugh at the expense of others is so anti woke. Good to know she is such a classy citizen, even if she is as extremist as they come.

    If cuomo did that, he’d be executed.



    We’re hoping the right can “give up already” on their weird fixation with AOC. Big high school yearbook scandal! 

    Geez u sound just like dt complaining about places like this!

    Do you recognize the double extremism?  Not only  the left on here can add hundreds of far worse posts about the right, ONE centrist posts one soft criticism of someone who happens to be on the left extreme of her party, and that commenter must be big dummy to be made fun of.

    Maga left.
    Criticism of her high school yearbook comment. Maybe try and criticize current policy. What happened to the right saying her policies will increase the deficit? Oops

    Commenters not on the extreme left sure have a lot of rules to follow here according to that logic.

    She is so extreme she’s allowed to make jokes at the expense of men which would never be allowed by her woke culture if it were against women or folks of color. That’s extremism and 100% relevant on this topic.
    That’s not extremism, it how communication works because context, nuance, and history applies. Are you still befuddled and mad as to why it’s not acceptable for you to use the n word, but it’s acceptable when black people do? 

    She made a joke at the expense of men, which would not be tolerated if it went the other way. That’s extreme dishonesty from her and what she claims to represent.


    your response ignores that by bringing up some non relevant example of n word, and you make it personal like I have anything to do with your n word anecdote pertaining to my comments. That’s dishonest as well, personally tying me to your example.


    the response to dt from the left is rampant dishonesty. They’ve been crucifying me over in the Mideast topic about the concept of negotiation , for which I had a full explanation two days ago that was completely ignored. Doesn’t stop them from continuing personal attacks after my explanation.
    Except it’s not at the expense of men when you consider history and context. That’s why I brought up the n word; because its usage is considered acceptable based on context and who’s using it. You’re too black and white.

    gop thread remains closed so....

    Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding.
