Judge Scalia RIP

[Punkinhead]

you will get shouted down for even pointing out the strange circumstances, let alone suggesting that they amount to anything.

Worse than the shouting is when they point and laugh at us. Simply for thought crime of wanting to know the TRUTH about how Hillary, Obummer, and the Illuminati orchestrated this dastardly crime. You would think starting our posts with, "I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but...." would tell them that we're reasonable, intelligent people. And it's not new. Google "Indiana obituary natural causes" and you'll find hundreds of articles going back years here in our very own state. And these are in so-called "legitimate" newspapers! Who's in control? Do they really expect us to buy this crap?

Perhaps he should've booked other lodgings and not dismissed his security detail.... oh, and not been old, obese, and a smoker

. HEY LOOK,.............A SQUIRREL !

Yes, something you are well versed at doing yourself.

I understand that there are you are not alone in being psychologically dependent upon accepting narratives which feed a false sense of security. One of these days you may reach a point or realizing that there are times when the circumstances invite questions regarding the official narrative offered, notably including significant shifts in that narrative when contradictory facts are introduced or leaving unanswered questions which are typically answered as a matter of standard procedure. When this happens, it can amount to anything from administrative sloppiness and/or laziness to nefarious activity, but one thing that is certain is that when ridicule becomes an argument, you are most likely dealing with someone who for some reason does not want to address facts or with a fool. As I have said previously, I would have been quite happy with a coroner actually having done the proper job of investigating the death and definitively established that Scalia died from being old enough to remember when the patent was issued on dirt as opposed to leaving a wide open door especially when there are people who have already demonstrated their lack of upright character who have much to gain, right down to shifting the direction of the future of the republic, by his death fortuitously happening right now.

Returning closer to home, your insistence on using ridicule speaks volumes about your lack of a quality argument and they nature of person you are. At minimum, you apparently don't have a point. I strongly suspect that you have not reached the point of being able to accept the fact that the world can be a very ugly place, and deal with that through denial. Otherwise, you would have made an argument based on fact and reason rather than resorting to ridicule in such a way as to make a person wonder if you have spent too much time listening to James Carville.

Now, do you have any rational explanation for why we should not be concerned with the lack of a proper autopsy, especially given the stakes involved in this particular death, along with a shifting narrative, or should we all just gather in a circle, start singing "Don't worry, be happy!" and ridicule anyone who doesn't feel like singing?

I saw Greta on FNC last night, badgering our poor village idiot for not attending the funeral. Everyone needs to leave the guy alone.

If the idiot had stayed in his village where he belonged, he wouldn't be having a bunch of first-world problems!

I tend to believe the most likely explanations. The dude was old. Fat. Unhealthy. Lot's of issues including heart problems. Seems more likely to be natural causes than anything else. But why ridicule people for pointing out odd circumstances surrounding his death? I can believe that some people WOULD go to those lengths for their ideology. I simoly don't see the coincidental circumstances as enough reason to believe that's what happened.

Well, in double reverse conspiracy news. It has now been reported that following Scalia's natural death, nearby conservatives arranged the scene to look like a murder. I mean if the left did contract this job, one would assume they'd use a professional who wouldn't tip his hand and show the way he/she killed the judge right? So the only explanation is that Republican agents placed the pillow over Scalia, stripped his body, and re-dressed him. Launch an investigation!

For some people if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck it must... want to take our guns away, turn our country into a socialistic police state, burn the flag, and make bacon illegal.

If you really want to stir the tinfoil pot, the same report also mentioned that the coroner declared him deceased over the phone. Supposedly a fairly common practice in the remote regions of Texas with professionals on scene.

Except for the fact that where he died, isn't exactly a remote region of Texas. I used to live not terribly far from Cibolo Creek.

Well, from his standpoint, he has nothing to gain from this.
If he does go, nobody's going to change their opinion of him.

A true Statesman would go because it is the right thing to do, not because it will be of benefit.

Can you look at the present occupant, and then say that with a straight face?

Is it the right thing to do, though? Does Scalia's family want him there?

 

[actaeon277]

Well, he managed to find time to meet with the Chicago Blackhawks and throw in a joke about finding a new Justice.
See. He has priorities.

That so?

President Bush and first lady Laura Bush, joined by Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, right, arrive to pay respects to the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist as his casket lies in the Great Hall of the U.S. Supreme Court, in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2005.

There is nothing this president does (or doesn't do) that you won't excuse.

It's a legitimate question.
If the family doesn't want him there, then he shouldn't go.
I have a hard time imaging it though, but it could happen.
