Remember.

Two million members of the Armed Services, total.

Add in cops of any stripe from County to Ice and you get another million and a half.

There are 323 million Americans.

There are four million square miles in America.

DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR FEARMONGERING.

THEY COULD NEVER, EVER HOLD US.

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

No the Dems should not support a carve out for paying the troops. Those are the troops they intend to send into the streets, remember?

Please quit trivializing the seriousness of this with your little posts.

The world’s smallest man:

“The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called me and said that she was accepting it in honor of me.

“I did not say then "give it to me." I think she might have, she was very nice.

“I have been helping her along the way, they need a lot of help.

Tron Ares review:

- looks like every decision made was for budget reasons; empty city streets everywhere

- Yeah, you've seen all the cool action scenes in the trailer

- The NIN soundtracks? Strangely doesn't fit. At ALL.

- Basically it's a pretty decent movie that has NOTHING to do with Tron.

Uh, yeah, because of personal autonomay, and those two places being part of America and all that. And how would the Court be packed? No one has stepped down.

It only recently occurred to me that they wouldn't have spent so much making those anti marijuana ads where teens' bodies are literally disintegrating if the weed needle wasn't so freaking awesome.

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

“Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him..”

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

THAT'S what it is, that's what was bugging me. It looks like one of those '70s curio shelves.

See, the cult is performative, so you must always perform in it if you want to rise: and that performance is presenting gifts to the Emperor.

We're to the "building monuments" to him part of this, and it's only the first year. www.newsweek.com/proposed-tru...

Proposed Trump monument next to Lincoln Memorial seen in White House photos

According to a pro-Trump Facebook group the monument could be part of the United States' 250th anniversary celebrations, coming in 2026.

As a non-doctor, I can tell you that we have words for people who are non-doctors.

Dunno, there's something strangely unappealing about this set.
