    Conservatives will be in news saying it is too soon to discuss shooting, they need more information before calling it terrorism, will forgo search of shooter’s criminal history, and will stall until things forgotten or point at something new to distract.

    All to not take action or make changes to the coming from their right wing, nativist views.

    Conceptually I agree with sub stack’s business model. Gets rid of the clickbait and people pay to read content they trust. Though at its core, the incentive is the same. Produce content that generates revenue. I’m concerned content producers like greenwald and Taiibi are as susceptible to producing what sells and less about investigative journalism funded by a third party. I heard that Taibi’s useful idiots podcast parted ways with Rolling Stone, but never heard why.

    Sounds like you're more familiar with the inside baseball than I am. I tend to doubt straight journalism is practicable on a for-profit basis anymore, but it's clear that billionaire patronage comes with strings attached too.

    Unfortunately, US education and culture doesn't produce many readers sensitive enough to navigate thoroughly corrupt sources *toward* the truth. Not sure what the solution is. Seems like we're circling the bowl, tbh.

    Perhaps, but it shouldn't ruled out that Taibbi and Greenwald are .

    Shooter bought a gun on the way to the massage parlor.

    Should it easier to buy a gun than to vote in the US? Maybe we have that backward.

    Yeah . I don’t have a good answer. I mean, fundamentally when you have a profit motive to provide information, truth finding becomes secondary. I Don’t want to throw my hands up to late stage capitalism and call us un ed and un able but don’t have a bead on a solution other than to hope technology can somehow help us out of this.

    The power to take another another's life is inherently political, whether or not temporal authorities punish it. It's an exercise of power -- force -- against someone else's body.

    So, arguably, is sexual harrassment and assault.

    So is skin tint discrimination. All these are modalities of desire.
    No.

    You cannot make everything political, otherwise nothing is.

    Have you ever purchased a firearm legally?

    The 2nd Amendment is just a suggestion.

    It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I question the incentive. I read/listen to them both and have for years, which is more than you can say. You started to pay attention when they started saying stuff that agreed with your narrative. And if you actually paid attention, you’d still disagree with half of what they say.

    Ok, buddy.

    You just keep telling people what they can do and what they can't do.

    The whole "sexually frustrated" angle really pisses off the liberals here
    It pleases you though.

    Ahhh...finally found it. Said he was a "licensed gun owner", which means he had already been through the background checks. Thats why he could get it the same day. I know here in Texas if you have a concealed carry permit you don't have to go through the background check every time and can take possession.

    "he had frequented massage parlors in the past and

    had carried out the attacks as a way to eliminate temptation.

    He told the police that he had a “sexual addiction” and

    saw the spas as an outlet for something “that he shouldn’t be doing,”

    “He was attempting to take out that temptation,” "
