Quote:
Veteran LA political adviser detained at US airport – and thinks having Obama-Biden T-shirt in his luggage may have been why So let's find all the evidence of him thinking that having the t-shirt in his luggage may have been why he was detained. Quote:
Pretty straightforward. He did not say it was the reason. He said he thought it may have been. Quote:
So after going though every possibility which may have included what I said and what you agreed were valid to think about for his detainment, it hit him that he packed the T-shirt. He questioned whether it would cause him trouble. Quote:
I cheated here just because this is more about him thinking how the packed T-shirt making him nervous. I included it because that is the last of the four mentions of the t-shirt in the entire article headline included. There are three quotes from the article that supports the headline that he thinks the t-shirt might have been why he was detained. Can he say for a fact that is why he was detained? No, he was not provided the reason for his detainment by CBP. Also at no point did he say that the t-shirt was the reason he was detained. That is what he said he thought after he was detained and throughout the process may have been the reason. 2) What do you think is the possibility of it happening? e.g. I say swag 1/1000+, you say swag of x%? I think there is a 100% possibility that he thought the t-shirt may have been the reason he was detained. Do I think it is possible that it played a role in him being detained? Yes I think it is possible and I explained the circumstances where it could have played a role. Like the passenger, I also went through the possible reasons for his detainment. I stated some of them before including that it was just a random check and nothing more. The CBP stated that passengers can detained for a "variety of reasons". I do believe the current administration has shown themselves to be willing to go after their political opponents and being capable of using a phrase like "a variety of reasons" to go as far as detaining a political opponent or someone they don't like for a t-shirt. Did I say that is what happened in this case? No, I clearly stated I don't know the reason. But I would like to know which one of the "variety of reasons" was the official reason for the passenger's detainment. 3) Do you believe the article headline is misleading and/or NOT supported by the contents of the article? No it is not misleading and is supported as I have shown. The headline and the article are actually very clear. The passenger thinks that the t-shirt may have been why he was detained at the airport. We could and have gone through scenarios as to what is and what is not possible when it come to the role the t-shirt may or may not have played. That has absolutely nothing to do with what he thought at the time and the circumstances he was in when he thought them. Questions for you. Since you believe that the headline is misleading... 1. Can you provide quotes from the article that are contrary to what the headline stated and/or show the headline to be misleading? Show the quotes where the passenger says something other than the t-shirt may have been the reason why he was detained as stated in the headline? Even better, share the quotes where the passenger boldly declared the reason I was detained was because of the t-shirt. 2. What do you think is the possibility of this passenger given his political affiliation and the fact that he worked for Senator Alex Padilla at some point. This passenger after being detained and running through the possible reasons for the detainment. What are the possibility of this passenger thinking that the Obama/Biden t-shirt packed in his luggage may have been a reason for his detainment? Again, not the possibility or probability that he is right. Not the possibility or probability that it was the only reason The possibility that it was something he would thought may be a reason. Once again, the obvious question is why was this passenger stopped and placed in a room for 45 minutes, allegedly after being asked if he was from California? Beyond that and based on your focus, I know also wonder why was he not provided any information as to the reason for his detainment to the point where he began to think that a t-shirt may have been a reason for his detainment?

From what I've surmised from your response ... 1) You believe I am complaining about Taylor didn't have a good reason to think what he thought. I am not. I actually think its reasonable for him to think so while being detained 2) In my posts, I have challenged the article itself, NOT the person (e.g. if you believe I challenged the veracity of the person and what he believed, provide my quotes). Plenty of evidence of me challenging the article and not the person ... Because I believe this is a reoccurring theme in the rest of your response. I'll label this as "It's about the article and how it was written, not about what he thought"

In the content, after his detainment and seeing his luggage, Taylor does not believe that was the reason anymore. And therefore, the article has a misleading headline and content does not support it. Last edited by Edward64 : 07-01-2025 at 06:33 AM. |

The t-shirt is such an unimportant aspect of the story. Anyone with two functioning brain cells can figure out he was stopped because he worked for Padilla who the administration has a major beef with. They've stopped and harassed a lot of people with political opinions they don't like. This isn't surprising, they said they would do it and are.

So to sum this up, you asked me for quotes from the article that that supports my argument that the headline was not misleading and is supported by the article. I provided the quotes. You agreed with what I said. I asked you to provide the quotes that support your argument that the headline was misleading and was not supported by the content of the article. You provided nothing from the article and only repeat your claims without evidence from the article. Now after multiple posts about the suitcase going through the scanner and not being opened and the probability of that he was detained because of the shirt, now the issue is about how the article was written and the headline not matching the content of the article. Cool. Quote:
Quote:
But the headline literally spoke to what he... never mind. I'll move on. Quote:
Quote:
I know I should let it go but apologies to you and the board, I have to ask. I will try my best to make this the last post on T-Shirt-gate. You do realize that this entire incident including the whole suitcase through the scanner and not opened thing occurred on June 20th, right? And that he was interviewed for this article days after the 20th? That would also be days after "the suitcase was located and sent through a scanner—but never opened." part occurred but before it was published on June 27th? Given those facts, wouldn't the article undoubtedly and truly reflect how he felt and what he thought while detained and what he thought at the time of publication if they were different? This leads me to my final point. I know you believe "the suitcase was located and sent through a scanner—but never opened." line is enough to say that the t-shirt played no role. I know you think that line makes this an open and shut case. I can even understand why an article written exclusively based on this guy describing what happened and how this guy felt throughout while accurate might be considered as unnecessary fearmongering and clickbait. We can agree to disagree on that opinion. However, but I have to ask because for the life of me I missed this part. Please show where in this article it states that after "the suitcase was located and sent through a scanner—but never opened." incident happened, HE no longer thought that was a reason for his detainment. I not only don't see that anywhere in the article, I believe there would be no article whatsoever if he made that statement prior to publication.

Here's the sequence. When you asked I responded So, go look at "agree to disagree" in previous post, you will see the 2 quotes from the article. You may not agree they support my position, but you claim I provided "nothing from the article" ... I absolutely-positively-certainly supplied the quotes and "evidence" from the article. If you still disagree, tell me why. ***** Quote:
Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Trump's Immigration Reform I assume you think the headlines is the outrage? Quote:
Yes. I did leave some wiggle room with early quote "Now, if more facts come out from him or non-twitter-like source, let me know." But based on the article itself ... yes. Quote:
When I said fearmongering and clickbait, I reference how the (1) headline was not supported by the (2) contents of the article. NOT because it was how one guy (Thomas) felt. Quote:
I quoted below section (bold was there) per the article ... You are right the article did not explicitly say "he said" it, but certainly reasonable to surmise he said/believed it. Or in other words ... Question - why would Taylor continue to believe the t-shirt was the reason for his detainment when he believes his luggage wasn't opened?

And I certainly don't mind. Although we disagree much, IMO this is how good debates go.

Alligator Alcatraz had minor flooding on its first day open after only 1.5 inches of rain. I'm guessing this is a feature so they can more quickly rid themselves of detainees by drowning.

This. It drives me crazy that they are pulling people out of courthouses that are by definition following the law, and then deporting them with no due process. It has always been so ridiculous the whole "open borders" crap they paint Democrats with, when Obama and Biden both deported people at high rates. The difference was the people deported HAD due process. They did have a reason they didn't belong in the country. There should be a process to allow people entry, and there should be consequences to not following those rules. It is just the line should be reasonable and logical, and not based on blatant racism.

Boxer Julio Cesar Chávez Jr. arrested by ICE, to be deported - ESPN
First off, I had no idea that Chavez Jr. was 39 yrs old. Second, I am absolutely shocked that the ring was not surrounded by ICE agents immediately after the fight ended and then the agents rush the ring, removed Chavez Jr from the ring and immediately into an unmarked van.

I missed that the government is back to stating in court filings that the Garcia deportation was a mistake. They gonna re-hire the attorney they fired for "admitting" that a couple of months ago?

It’s almost parody at this point. Honestly if it wasn’t so dystopian it would be a brilliant sitcom. Could call it something like Fire and ICE.
I do wonder how many of these are 100% true, but the Guardian is generally a very reliable source. |

There is a video of this guy protesting ICE officers, so we can know what their "probably cause" was. Blatantly using power to silence dissent.
