I posted the link. I didn't copy any of the article because I gifted the link to the entire article.

You seem like you're cranky. I usually agree with your posts but you seem unusual today.

You are one of the better posters on DU, but I already spend too much time on DU (my problem, not yours).

So many times intriguing headlines are posted and then when you spend time reading them they don't have the info. You trust the DU member so you read the article again but nope, not there.

It is also the case that many times people mindlessly post the first four paragraphs of an article. Typically they are filled with background facts already known. The thing to do is post four paragraphs from the interior that illustrate the point the OP headline makes.

Thoughtful posters use easy to do things that help DU readers and save their time. You can be a poster mindful of the readers.

I also have a privacy setting that means I have to log in every time I refresh the page.

I'm not very technically adept and it's somewhat challenging for me to post an OP in LBN. I have to open two browsers on my phone and toggle between them to copy and paste the headline and link. If I want to post excerpts, by that time DU has usually logged me back out so I have to edit my OP.

I thought about doing that and decided not to. I wasn't being deliberately difficult or inconsiderate.

The article actually isn't all that interesting except as an example of how TrumpCo is continuing to get even small details wrong.

I agree with you about the clickbait videos and such but in LBN there are strict rules. I copied the headline exactly and WaPo's article supports the headline.

Yes, LBN does have strict rules.

hopefully, by Nov I will have enough saved for a newer model.

No rule says you have to, of course, but i think that's what people have come to expect.

Tl;dr it's difficult for me to post an OP in LBN. I thought providing the non-paywall link was considerate. I guess not.

I won't bother again.

You are a good member. Please don't pick up your marbles and walk away in a "I'll show you" huff. It's not necessary to do that.

that was adequately explained in your own article. That's not the fault of an 'old phone'. Your comment could have just as easily given the correct information.. And yet you didn't.

I hardly ever try to post in LBN. I almost always mess up one way or another, lol.

As for this particular instance of posting a link without any excerpts from the article, it's not required, as I said. But I think most of us do it, no matter what forum we're posting in. I see it as a way to give people an idea of the content, to help them decide whether they want to click and read the whole thing or not. I also appreciate the additional info myself when others provide it. But I don't get offended if someone omits it, because it IS optional. All of which is to say that I don't think you have anything to apologize for, and I never meant to imply that.

It's a notable difference.

My point is that we can't believe anything they're saying. They spout nonsense.

and in this case his new, improved, ideologically-purged FBI was as useless as a marzipan dildo. They are trying to take credit for the bust, but AFAIK they were just running around like the Keystone Kops and might never have found the guy if his family hadn't turned him in.

We literally can't believe anything the Trump administration says. They lie for political advantage AND they're incompetent. The combination makes them completely unreliable.

Patel is talking about seeing Kirk in Valhalla. Our country is being run by evil sniggering 11 year olds.

Valhalla is where hero warriors go after death if they are killed in battle. They reside there until the Twilight of the Gods, when they will fight for Odin against the giants. It's sort of complicated but it's definitely not Christian, and neither Kirk nor Patel are/will be warriors killed in battle. Maybe they won't even make it to Christian Heaven.

They know little bits of things and make up the rest to sound cool.

in which Valhalla burns to the ground, thanks to the greed of the occupants.



That said, the German reference is noted.

Kirk, Epstien, Patel and their scheiss-meister "Donald the flatulent" will soon meet again.

IN HELL

where hate is king.

He's like an even dumber than usual Frankenstein with slow motion nystagmus.

nt.

The youth minister did the actual deed.

The chain of command is: shooter confessed to dad, I think dad suspected already. Dad called friend (youth minister) and told him his son had admitted to him he was the shooter. Minster called the feds.

When you figure in the roommate who told about the gun and showed the feds the discord conversation it seems as if without the people closest to him turning him in he'd still be loose.

turning the perp in?

I wonder how they plan on splitting the $100k?

Good to see one turning in a killer instead of molesting youth.

on the way to lockup?

Maybe Cracker Barrel?

No doubt the cops were unfailingly polite to the "lad."
