Bingo

I’m leaning a lot more towards incompetence. And a lack of resources in place to begin with.

I think sometimes unbelievable conspiracy theories sometimes get taken so far that even most of your conspiracy theorists know they’re fake. It’s about to that point now.

Don’t at all think this was racism. Completely 100% believe it’s a direct indicator of his senility and inability to remember his name, or the fact that his choice of descriptor was inappropriate.

They’ve had a rough year, underperforming, and dealing with a crazy amount of injuries. That said, they’re good enough to make a run, and if they don’t they’ve got a lot of trade pieces while still keeping that solid core intact

He fell off 😀

I tend to agree, but that also works the other way as well.

Took the above from the post I started in the political section because I missed that this one had been started. Deleted the other thread

Here are some of the key points that I’ve seen or heard: The African American city manager recommended an African American candidate, and the council voted against him 4-3, with the 4 white councilmen voting against him. Concerns that he was chosen strictly due to race by the city manager, and also concerns that he was rejected for the same reason by the council could both hold merit. the local white candidate has the support of the majority of the board, BPD’s previous two chiefs, and the endorsement of the Beaumont Police Officer Association. They all make the reasonable argument that he knows how to deal with things like hurricanes, and knows the area, how BPD works, has the respect and support of the dept, etc. His opponents say that fresh blood is needed, want to see minority representation considering Beaumont’sracial makeup, and also point to some accusations of racism with Plunkett (I have no clue as to their validity). Also valid arguments imo. concerns about a chief coming in from ultraliberal Vancouver, Washington are valid. The concern that nothing will change by giving the job to someone local when crime is a major issue is alsovalid. all that having been said, there are a lot of reasonable takes from both sides of this thing, but it’s likely going to devolve into a major mess. there’s always room for improvement, but any time you make a major change there’s always the chance of things getting worse, sometimes much worse.

If you say so. How about this? Any other candidate would have a better chance than trump. Which doesn’t mean I’m saying he won’t win, but anyone else would almost be guaranteed to, especially in light of Biden’s recent debate

You don’t have to like it for it to be true. There were I don’t know how many polls that showed all of the other Republican candidates performing better against Biden.

Could’ve been a Sasquatch on a unicorn, too.

Just saw that

I didn’t see it, but my dad texted and said it sounds like a couple of other people were shot, one possibly fatal. Not sure if one of them was the shooter or not

The irony here is that the dems best chance of keeping the presidency is if trump runs. If he’d been killed today the republicans could’ve replaced him with just about anybody and stomped a mud hole in Biden.

It’s possible to hate someone and not want them shot. That said, there’s probably some guys in this thread who would be happy if Biden got shot, so you could be right

Any arrests made?

From the angle a shot would be taken to only hit his ear I would think that some folks behind him might’ve taken rounds

Pretty sure I mentored the big brother of the other kid you knew who passed when I was in high school.

Been following this because I went to high school with her. The whole thing is pretty crazy, especially how many people she did it to before someone finally pressed charges.

[Hidden Content] rarity for Buna. The name sounded familiar, and a google search pulled up an article where he’d been in the news for having gone missing last year.

The inspection on my new truck from last year is good through 2025, so I’m good to go

You’ll never convince me that the (original) vaccines didn’t greatly decrease sickness and death. By the end of it all I knew 16 people personally that died from COVID, and the only one who was vaxxed was a double organ transplant recipient. Unless we’re to believe that every health organization in the country is in on a giant conspiracy, the numbers of hospitalizations were insanely skewed towards the non-vaccinated. I have 4 parents and 2 in-laws. 4 of the 6 were vaccinated, and the other 2 both ended up in the hospital with COVID, one of them twice. I’ve also never seen any realistic proof that ivermectin worked, and considering around 99 out of 100 people survived COVID, you could take 100 ivermectin users and 99 would end up swearing to the effectivity of the medicine. All that having been said, I never felt that the vaccine should be mandated, or that someone shouldn’t be allowed to take a medicine that they wanted to try. It should be a personal choice. It’s obviously a non-issue at this point now that COVID has mutated to something that generally hits people less hard than the common flu.

They should have a very good team, but nothing ever comes easy in their district
