It’s a rural town, so maybe a lot of the kids live in the country and are on wells instead of the town’s water tower?

There are many states where trucks only need one plate, and they put it in the front.

Is this more shit posting or are you serious?

The article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I’m not sure about California, but you wouldn’t need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.

Blasphemy! How can you look at that perfect hairy specimen and not think that is a good shape?

I think the idea is that since the president learns all kinds of classified information while in office, it’s in the public’s best interest to protect them from foreign agents after they are out of office.

I don’t disagree with you either, but I’m not sure what to do about it other than to continue to vote for people that I do think will represent me and then vote for the least shitty choice after none of those people make it past the primaries.

It’s disconcerting that someone elected to represent me doesn’t see that.

He’s a wealthy career politician in his 80’s I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out of touch with the vast majority of the population. I certainly didn’t vote for him in the Democratic primaries, but he’s much better than the alternative.

Also, the Chiefs are partly owned and ran by a guy that has made several donations to the Republican party. Not a lot of money over all, but consistently Republican.

I wish the Democratic party was as competent as these nutjobs think they are. I imagine the country would be in a much better place.

Also, it signals that Biden is not worried about whether or not he can beat Trumpty Dumpty again.

I guess I don’t understand what we are talking about, sorry. This thread is in reply to:

I mean, it should be true for any country. SWATting isn’t a US only phenomenon.

Which I know wasn’t your comment, but I took that to mean that because it happens in other countries then the US isn’t that fucked. My original comment didn’t specify the US and was a benchmark that could be applied to all countries, so the reply sounded argumentative to me.

Maybe I was reading something into it that wasn’t there? Sorry for being a dumbass!

No, I understand the legal concept. My point is that police, and especially SWAT, should be trained well enough that the idea that anyone would be in danger if they were to show up at an innocent person’s house would be so ridiculous that we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. In the US, it takes about 650 hours of training to become a police officer on average, and 3000 to become a cosmetologist. That’s fucked up.

I expect any country’s SWAT team to be able to show up at an innocent person’s house and NOT kill anyone. I guess I have high standards.

You know your country is fucked when your first thought is, “if someone dies when the cops show up at the home of someone completely innocent, then whomever called them should be charged with murder.”

I think the use of “misunderestimate” already implied that, eh?

Republicans’ core beliefs are whatever benefits them, despite how hard they pretend otherwise. Luckily for them, they are immune to hypocrisy.

After all, someone has to rubber stamp the actions of the autocrat.

You know, I would like to believe that these people are going to learn their lesson while in jail, but for some reason I doubt it. I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that after everything trumpty dumpty has said and done, including saying he’s going to be a dictator, and half the country still wants to hand him the country on a silver platter (like everything else in his life)? I don’t understand it.

“Was” threatening to secede? This is from like a week ago: https://www.newsweek.com/texas-independence-usa-secession-1852816

I think that’s a very naive opinion. Moving is expensive. Even if you don’t have much, coming up with deposits for rent and utilities can be very difficult for the 60 percent of Americans living pay check to pay check.

If she has kids, they gotta be the most well behaved kids in the history of the universe.
