Yup. Nuthin' to see here. Mostly peaceful. Trump learned his lesson when he was talked out of deploying the Guard during the Summer of Love, and then when Pelosi declined his offer on Jan6.

I'm just reporting what I saw. Passengers handed their phones to the IO and the IO scrolled down the screen.

On a related note, what's the ratio of sale price vs monthly rate? Is it better or worse for buying newer or older properties? I've been looking (at the lower end) and finding that rent is generally so low compared to purchase price that I can't envision buying.

Not a concern for me at all. I'm snoozing at that hour.

I'm just saying... You've gone on worse tirades against the legally elected leader of the USA. That's the problem with calling everyone you disagree with a tyrant. After you've called Trump "Hitlerian", what can you possibly say about this guy that's worse than that? Not that you're unique. I've seen the same about Thaksin, about Putin, and about a dozen other world leaders. Personally' I'd reserve the real tirades for the Idi Amins and Himmlers of history. That way, credibility is preserved.

The administration is doing what they promised. (At least to the extent that activist judges and paid agitators are allowing them.) That's why people voted for them. Why they won every swing state. And even the popular vote.

You have a nice day, too.

Don't you lose a little credibility when you say that about every world leader you disagree with? You may be right here. I don't claim to know. But how can anyone take your comments seriously when you throw them around so casually?

No way you're ever going to do it from the place where you're now barricaded. Give it up and move on.

Almost seems a shame to bust into this lefty circle jerk. But I'm not surprised that the Marines are getting a slow start given the number of paid agitators who will be trying to goad them into doing something to make the administration look bad.

Not to worry. They'll have pre-sold enough units to make a profit before it becomes apparent that they have just created a gridlock slum.

That's a little extreme for me. I'd go with the blue water. Indelible ink, of course. Makes it easier to track them down later. And as a bonus, Starbucks customers can rag on the Baristas when they show up at work looking like Smurfs.

Here's a funny one... The organizers realized they've been screwing the pooch and are now passing out American flags. BREAKING: Organizers of LA Protests are now assembling and handing out American flags to protesters. This comes after days of footage showing them waving Mexican flags while torching cars, attacking police and burning U.S. flags. It’s clear they realized the current optics… Too late...

There's also a history lesson from "Rooftop Koreans in 1992". Google it... Short summary... The Korean community in LA protected themselves from the lefty Rodney King rioters, in the most American way.

I remember just a few months ago when the lefties were bragging how peaceful they were in response to the November whooping they took. Looks like they were just caught off guard. They believed the polls. Now, they're back up to their normal tricks. Looting, burning and throwing rocks at cops. Mostly peacefully, according to the MSM.

Yes. The passengers handed their phones to the IO and the IO scrolled through the screen to get to the part they needed to see.

Makes ya kinda wonder where their money is coming from.

Dont'cha think it would be a good idea to investigate and prosecute everyone that victimized her? For example, if someone pimped her out to the French guy. He's scum and hopefully he will get what's coming to him. But if he's the only one they prosecute, she may be getting pimped out again next week.

Interestingly, some of the wingnuts slicing and dicing the VAERS data related to the vaccine batches are claiming that the hottest batches (those with the highest rates of adverse reactions) were shipped to the Red States. Interesting times for data wonks... I make no claim about the veracity of the analysis. I'm waiting for the new head of HHS to have a closer look.

Did they hit the Best Buy for big screens yet? Because that's what you really need to get you through an emergency... Not food. Not water. Just sneakers and big screens. I still remember Katrina when most people tuned in to the news were perfectly okay with the looters taking food and water from the WalMart. Some of them even tried to leave money to pay for what they took. (You can guess how that went.) But most of us do draw a line at stealing big screens and jewelry to weather the storm.

They had that "tenuous grip" after a month or so. My CNN battlefront map has moved only slightly since Feb, 2023. The last 2 years or so, they've just been getting sniped at around the edges. Which leads me to believe that Putin was honest when he stated his objectives from the start (a buffer zone in Donbas), and has no designs on the rest of Ukraine, much less all of Europe. But the warmongers in Germany want to make their people afraid of the Red Menace...

This on a forum where a recurring topic of conversation is (and I'm paraphrasing here) "How young can she be and I still don't get in trouble?" I'm not defending the pedo, or blaming the 13 year old. Just suggesting that maybe they need to dig deeper than the French guy. Or she'll get pimped out again.

Yup. I read it. It comes across as the typical Thai media story of prostitution. Foreigner bad, Thai police heroes. But pay no attention to the elephant in the room. How was it that she ended up in the local residence, and was she really confined, or was she just doing what her pimps were telling her to do?

You get it, too.

You get it...
