Militarized Police

And thousands of dollars, maybe tens of thousands at this point.

People don't think this will happen to their favorite drugs are in for the surprise of a lifetime.

I don't know what's better or worse, either way makes some people happy and others dissatisfied.

I don't know if you remember or not, but back in the late 70's/early 80's, drunk driving was the contemporary COVID-19 existential crises in the US, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) was the contemporary version of today's Black Lives Matter crusaders.

Then, as now, politicians, celebrities, and other publicity whores were all to willing too ride the current wave of publicity/outrage just to get a few more seconds in the limelight.

Anybody who didn't get on board was a hater of mothers, children, civilization, and humanity.

Hmmmmm..... me thinks me sees a pattern. Fixes have consequences. (tm)

A modern movement, say Reality Activated Exceptional Literalists against Idiotic Tech Yutes (REALITY) might be a similar solution to Cancel Culture.


If you don't like anything that is on any of the three channels on television, turn off the TV and go outside. You'll be happier and live longer.

people were definitely happier when computer ram was measured in kilobytes rather than gigabytes. coincidence?

yeah, but as long as it is convenient, no need for police involvement, it'll all be voluntary.

I am highly amused that this is happening under a Republican president and a Republican Senate. Imagine this happening under Obama: the hysterical coverage on Fox News, the hordes of angry dudes posting "Don't Tread on Me" and "Second Amendment" crap on the internet, the screams of tyranny and dictatorship...

Cliven Bundy and Bundy Ranch

[NapLajoieonSteroids]

Unlike a ranch where it's open plains, cow tipping and the government went to them; Portland is an urban environment where the usual suspects who've been destroying non-cow objects for weeks, decided to bring the fight to the federal court house:

The federal response is that the people nabbed are in relation to assaults on federal agents.

I don't know

1) All these agencies are in very low-trust territory as it is.

2) This falls under the awful patriot act which is a problem unto itself

Grab the perps, tase them, give them the opportunity to pay a $500 fine for vandalizing and hand over their cell phones on the spot.

Or........ strip them naked, zip tie their wrists and ankles together, stack them up like cordwood, put a guard on them so no one hurts them, spray them down with a firehose every few hours so they don't dehydrate, and leave them in a pile until Mommy and Daddy show up to claim them. No one shows up after 5 days, put em in a U-Haul and send them to CHAZ.... or maybe Jeffrey Epstein's sex island....

their choice.

or we could sell them to Romania as slaves.....
