I'll take that as confirmation that you believe that one or more mass shootings during the last 25 years was a hoax, because there is zero chance that you would catch a ban for stating that all the shooting actually happened.

Do you have any anything besides that picture for evidence that anything happened at all there? I'd like to hear it. Your idea of evidence is things one of 5 companies tells you to think. You are right that we have different ideas about it. You picked a perfect example there and your "relevant experts" appeared in a snopes article.
Here is what we're talking about for reference

[No idea who this twitter user is standard disclaimer]

Yeah man, it might be a compelling case if those pictures were not of poor resolution and taken more than a decade apart.

Cartilage grows as people age. It's a real thing that happens to everyone. Expecting it to be identical over a huge timespan is hilariously naive. You might as well be saying that his hair is more white in the second photo, ergo it must be fake. That also changes over the span of a decade!

I actually have zero clue about Hernandez but definitely consider it intriguing. Some of the others are a little more inflammatory though.

This isn't exactly a secret but yes.

It's actually literally a joke.

Why do I have to guess? There are a lot of dead public figures in the world.

Not all of them involve Michael Baden though. Sorry but I don't know what you expect from me. I have to pick and choose my battles which is my right.

It's a crazy world we live in. Not exactly "innocent". He's a Hollywood actor though. My mom went to high school with Christopher Darden..she didn't know him though but I looked him up the past week
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Darden. He also has an imdb .

That would be the correct inference.

Because Gabbard is more unlikable and everything about AOC stems from grassroots support? Do you believe that?

AOC != Tulsi. It's not really close. Tulsi is way more libertarian and AOC is a hippie (peace and love) democratic socialist.

But the Democratic Party and their very serious person supporters hate Tulsi because she was part of the DemE and quit to support Bernie over HRC. AOC also supported Bernie, but she had no status then and she didn't betray the Dems to do it.

The point is still why some people are marginalized and why others are thrust forward by the media--like why the NYT is promoting the idw. It applies in a broader context.

I'm hardly fluent in Spanish. I could almost barely follow the gist in Portuguese, but not quite.

Do you believe the Devil is at the top of the pyramid? Is Satan running the world?

A lot of theater ensued that created a media spectacle. In the end, nobody died.

Sounds like me with Italian, which is what the pope speaks and it's possible he would know better than me.
Religion is a pretty tricky subject though and you'd have to start here , scroll down some, and read that article I posted to begin to understand my views.
