    This is a lame attempt at you trying to act as if you are a defense lawyer limiting the scope of my response so that you can twist reality.

    Have you stopped beating your wife? Yes or no? Dont "dodge". Yes or no?

    I'm not saying that what Trump suggested was not stupid. It was.

    What I'm saying is that suggestion in no way indicates that President Trump had murderous intents toward protesters.

    For all the liberal minds out there... "NOVEL virus"

    So you think testing cures Covid... Interesting... I'll have to write that down.. or "nipped the pandemic in the bud in it's incipient stages by containing it via aggressive testing" as you put it.
    I already have been quarantining myself ....Masks don't work, so going in to get tested increases my risk of spreading it and/or catching it. I called the hospital, they already told me to quarantine myself until I fall over with a low oxygen level.. (yea the ole' oxygen monitor, everyone has one of those)..
    4-5 days before symptoms develop, then 10 days after before I can join the world again...

    Testing is just a "snapshot".. You can literally be contaminated 2 minutes later by an infected person.

    Please tell us how many people got Covid (tested or untested, vaccinated or unvaccinated)) and never went to the hospital? Tell us about natural immunity...I am real interested in your response.

    Now just paste up the quote from Trump proposing to "order" the troops to shoot anyone.

    The results show differently. By the way, the Red states have a lower number of cases than Blue states.

    Astounding! That post :above: may be the most far-ranging, bubbling compendium of unsupported, unqualified, untruthful bullshit I have read in one place in a very long time! It literally takes one's breath away....

    All those flaccid accusations, and not one (ONE) scrap of supporting documentation of any kind.

    Hint: Police officers don't create lengthy, nasty bureaucratic nightmares for themselves by indiscriminately shooting anybody purely for the hell of it. They fire their weapons only under very specific circumstances, and only after suspects have conspicuously threatened the public or police officers, and/or have resisted arrest.

    Nevertheless, this 'shoot 'em in the leg' thing is something you see only in TV thrillers, like "Person of Interest". Police academies teach their officer-candidates that when you must use deadly force, it's "two in the chest, and one in the head".

    There is only one logical reason you'd use the 'he is selling a book' argument.

    One LOGICAL reason.

    What is that reason?

    Simple, you're implying he is lying or exaggerating about the president in order to sell books, a consideration completely ignorant of who the man is, and his accomplishments.

    If you claim otherwise, I don't believe you, because that is the usual reason someone makes such a point, otherwise, why make it?

    That is how brainstorming works. No suggestion is considered stupid. Stupid is when you start calling everyone else stupid so that everyone is afraid to make a suggestion.

    It was not a consideration. No one took it seriously except the democrats.

    How is shooting protesters not far outside the realm of acceptable suggestion in any context?

    Except my question doesn’t limit the scope of your response. Your question does. But mine doesn’t. Look I get it…you don’t have the guts to answer it. Others have but you won’t. Whatever.

    That premise might work for nubile students in a classroom, but it doesn't work for the President Of The United States.

    I think your Capitol Police Officer who laid in wait and ambushed an American citizen from a hidden position should be considered a murder.. Let's have a real good look at what happened there... Let Pelosi release the video security camera from Byrd's side of the doors so we can see if his testimony jives with his hidden ambush and his "call to halt" is accurate...
    But that will NEVER happen..

    Wishful thinking is not a merit worthy counter argument.

    In a situation where they might otherwise shoot to kill?

    Its worth pondering in a brainstorming session. Have you ever taken part in a brainstorming session? If so, do you afterward pick apart every of the perhaps hundreds of notions that people may have put forth in the rapid fire portion?

    TDS folk are silly. They have lost their minds with hatred.

    Of course, invariably one of them will jump in and declare that they dont "hate". LOL. Yeah right. Call it whatever you want.

    I promise it's also applicable in job safety orientation too. Try thinking outside the box sometimes Bro, expand your overall view of the world beyond your lil desk and monitor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yes or no? ( thats an actual legitimate yes or no question)

    Not in regards to the question I posed. Clearly you believe it’s ok to shoot people who are protesting. I got my answer. Thanks.

    She breached the final barrier to Pelosi's chambers, giving access, not to by just her, but to the JUGGERNAUT that was behind her.

    You are obviously ignorant of that fact that he had, therefore, no choice but to use lethal force which would serve to let others know that that barrier had lethal force defending it.

    Had he not done so, and if the juggernaut ensued through the barrier with the knowledge there is no one defending that barrier, given their chants of 'hang Mike Pence" and 'Pelosi, where are you" he could have been held liable for any injuries and damages that would have logically and inevitably followed.

    Your logic wanes.

    Truth, the law, and the facts, are on the officer's side, which is the WHY that it will never happen.

    To call your attempt at a clever response lame, is an understatement.

    Context matters.

    Non-lethal weapons were available... to babble on how an experienced big man like him could not contain a 5'2" 135 lb. women is laughable... you go ahead and paint Byrd as a hero... I'll paint him as a murder.. who laid in wait to ambush Ashli Babbitt for a hidden position with lethal force.

    Please tell us who gave the order to SHOOT TO KILL that day?...

    You can find a number of sources for "rules for brainstorming". Here is one set.
    Rule #1: Generate as many ideas as possible during the session.

    While it can seem counterintuitive to most of us, brainstorming is about quantity rather than quality. By placing the focus on getting as many ideas as possible, people are more willing to share things that they otherwise might write off as irrelevant or over the top.

    Rule #2: Criticizing ideas is not allowed.

    You might hear this referred to as non-evaluation (and it’s also a key concept of the Atlassian Open mindset). Brainstorming isn’t about critiquing ideas on the spot — it’s simply about generation. That lack of immediate feedback empowers people to share ideas more openly without the fear of failure or disapproval.

    Rule #3: Wild and ambitious ideas are welcome.

    During a brainstorming session, you want people to think big. That’s exactly why this principle (which you might hear called “freewheeling”) exists. It encourages more creative thinking, because people know that they’re not just allowed — but actually encouraged — to think outside of the box.

    Rule #4: People are encouraged to build on other ideas.

    Finally, there’s a concept called “piggybacking.” While criticisms aren’t allowed, brainstorming participants are welcome to build upon other people’s contributions. This creates a more collaborative atmosphere, where good ideas get even more traction.

    Those ground rules are a helpful start, but there are a couple of other tips you should keep in mind when structuring your brainstorming session.
