Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Colorado politician deleted his x account after posting his true thoughts yesterday.
Typical calirado scum hiding like the cowards they actually are.
Shortly after a gunman took a shot at former President Donald Trump during a rally Saturday evening, grazing Trump's ear and killing at least one person in the audience behind him, a congressman - an elected, sworn-in member of the United States House of Representatives - tweeted that concern for Trump amounted to "sympathy for the devil."R
Rep. Steven Woodrow, who represents Colorado's State House District 2, posted to X shortly after the shooting, "The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are."
And yes, this is a real thing. here it is:
The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.

Woodrow was immediately ratio'ed into the stratosphere with people rightly condemning his disappointment - not at the fact that Trump was shot, but that it might earn him some support from people just now figuring out that leftists are violent extremists.

Post Election Cruise V4 300x250 Gunfire appeared to break out shortly after Trump began speaking at the rally around 6 PM EST. Trump who was bloodied on his ear and face, Trump raised his fists in defiance as he was rushed from the scene. Reports indicate that one Trump supporter was killed, and two spectators were critically injured.
The gunman was shot and killed at the scene.
Trump's team reports that Donald Trump is fine, a fact that probably bums out Woodrow.
UPDATE: Reacting to the backlash against his hate speech, Woodrow has apparently deleted, not just the post, but his entire X.com account
First I heard of this, good comment. I’m trying to keep a log of the left wing reactions (both good and bad), as I expect a lot of gaslighting and memory holing soon.
Another one fed this time.
