Sounds like we successfully affected a regime change, again. It's kinda like a slot machine though sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. The new regime is worse than the last one, so time to put in another dollar and pull the lever again. Sooner or later we'll get a regime we can work...

Fun fact, a paintball flamethrower can be made from a real flamethrower by just turning off the pilot light....

In other news, scientists have discovered traces of salt in the pacific ocean...

It's like the Jerry Springer show. Nobody tuned in because they were looking for advice LoL.

Cringe is probably a good description. It feels unfashionable, but is really inconsequential and all the attention being drawn to it is ridiculous. It's like Obama's Brown suit outrage. Much ado about nothing.

What if next time the cops miss a serial killer they could have stopped because they're wasting time on non-crimes called in by Karen's? Police in general *do not prevent individual crimes*. People need to get it out of their head that they do, or even should. Police clean up the mess...

Atheism is 100% a religion. Just because they try to make it sound sciency doesn't change that. Their central premise can't be proven any more than any other religion. The non-existance of God and spontaneous creation of the universe is a matter of faith for them.

But is "till valhalla" OK ? I'm OK with expressing their values, to include scripture, as long as they don't require anyone to take it seriously. The alternative is basically atheism as the official religion, which I also oppose.

Yes, they need to *investigate*. But as soon as the investigation fails to produce any evidence of an actual crime, they need to apologize for wasting the citizen's time and leave. Maybe contact the caller to educate them if that's an option. OfC, if the original call doesn't even allege an...

If Sally soccer mom calls 911 because someone's red hat offends her, she's a douche. But if some cops get that call and think that means they need to *do* something about the hat, they're a problem. Sally should be educated, but those cops should be fired. Her ignorance is her problem, but...

We shouldn't make fun of the 3rd world artillerymen. Our circus has way more clowns.

Well, I might call it for an ambulance. But I'll crawl to the end of the driveway to meet if I can. Do you know what all the people you just listed have in common ? Their problem is over before the government gets there to "help". When was the last time the cops stopped a mugging or a car...

Not sure that's actually a new development.

That doesn't really clarify which you'd prefer.

Moral of the story ? Never call the government for help.

Now I want to see a video where a dozen US Marines fire a 155 while wearing inflatable dinosaur costumes LOL.

That depends entirely on what city you're talking about.

Between Swalwell, Venezuela, and now Iran, someone's going to have to re-make that angry Hitler meme video with Xi.

So likely that in 10+ years of the SAFE act, nobody's ever been charged with it.

Statistically, if that's the middle east, probably 80% of the people in the picture are named "Mohammad".

There is a point during the raising of a child before which it's the parent's fault, and after which the person needs to be responsible for their own behavior. You can still blame the parents for raising a shitweasel, but the shitweasel's actions are their own fault.

Do you know the answer to this ? I don't believe there's even an exception for protected classes for trespassing. Someone could put up a properly worded "no blacks/gays/muslims/whatever" and those people could still be charged with trespassing, right ? They could sue the property owner...

Can be if you have prior notice from the owner of the property that it's not allowed. But the cop would need to know about that notice, he can't just pretend it's illegal because *he* doesn't like it. He can't even say "I know the owner wouldn't like that".

Russia might take the rest, but I think Poland could take them.

It's illegal to carry on private property ? Parking a car in a publicly accessible parking lot is trespassing ? If we're in a place where that's truly a "hornet's nest" then we need some Raid.

The real root of the problem is that even if that's true it *won't* put him in prison.

An actual investigation would result in too much collateral damage. I bet if *any* of these guys were really fully investigated they'd take half of the "D" party leadership with them.

While he shouldn't be in the legislature, having an affair is a long way from the stuff Swalwell did.

Swalwell, Weinstein, Spacy, Epstein, Cuomo, probably half of the rest of the Hollywood moguls too. Basically the backbone of the democrat support. Seems like a pattern.

Calling it $1.10 is a bit of a stretch IMHO. If you sell it for $1.00 your profit is only $0.90. So you add your lost profit and your cost you're back at $1. The way to look at it is "you bought it from yourself at market rate". Calling your loss $1.10 is counting that cost of production...

Because oil is a commodity. If we can produce oil here for $60/bbl, but China is willing to buy it for $120/bbl because they can't get it any cheaper, then we will ship it there and take the $120 rather than selling it here for $60. Think of it like this. Let's say you have a garden and...

At least some of those blue states have oil. You know what that means....

So, who controls it now ? Or do your standards flip whenever it benefits our enemies ? Iran war live: US military says it will block Iranian traffic in Hormuz | US-Israel war on Iran News | Al Jazeera Iran says US blockade on Gulf ports ‘illegal, ‘act of piracy’

It's a classic, but not as good as this one.

And the ridiculous hyperbole and straw men never cease. Hamas is not "all the Muslims in the middle east". In fact, Isreal is getting along just fine with the *vast* majority of them now. The only ones that need to die are the ones supporting the Tyrants in Iran. You know, the ones that...

It wouldn't just be the American economy. If we took a hit that bad, the rest of the world is going down too. If Isreal is facing an existential crisis, they will nuke whoever is threatening them. But, who would that be besides Iran now ? They have cordial relations with everyone else who...

He looks like the villain from every 80s teen comedy.

They should package them as "Epstein adjacent" and release them that way LOL.

Sounds like you need to find better FFLs.

So, if you buy a bolt action AR as complete gun, upper, lower, fully assembled, do you still need the semi endorsement to do it ? What if you sell that upper back to the same FFL 5 mins later ? Because you just bought a lower with extra steps.

There is a rapidly closing window to get this all to a good place. Maybe another month or two before it's too late to salvage the midterms. But, I don't think it's too late yet. If Iran is soundly defeated, the strait opened back up, the uranium seized, and oil prices are dropping by sometime...

There are rumors China is going to ship some weapons to Iran. We have the opportunity to do the most epic thing if we were to capture some of those mines intact and then covertly reinstall them in the path of the Chinese ships....

Well, they sailed both ships all the way through, so they know there *is* a path through. I'm sure the strait is lousy with mines, but if there's one known good path, you can start moving ships. Even if they have to follow the destroyers out single file.

This is what will actually clear the mines. Knifefish Unmanned Undersea Vehicle - General Dynamics Mission Systems Knifefish Unmanned Undersea Vehicle - General Dynamics Mission Systems Navy to use underwater drones to help clear Iranian mines from Strait of Hormuz | DefenseScoop Navy to use...

What does joy think "cutting SpaceX" means? It's not a government department for anyone to cut.

Well, we can let the rest of the thread participants judge that one. But I don't think "not reflexively assuming the US is the bad guy in every international conflict" qualifies as "fanatical support".

They might as well put up billboards saying "get out while you still can".

Then tarrif all the food, water, and power we deliver. Oh, and start billing them for all the garbage we handle for them (human and otherwise).
