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?

325·4 months agoThe 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.
Some people don’t attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine’s day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don’t have to spend money or throw it away later.
Blasphemy! How can you look at that perfect hairy specimen and not think that is a good shape?
19·5 months agoI 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?

Is that the end of the article? I think so, but I’ve missed things before, so better keep scrolling a bit just in case.

Okay, pretty sure I’ve read the entire article now, but let’s keep scrolling to see how far this bullshit goes.

And then the following pattern SIX times:

FINALLY a whole bunch of links to other articles, some of which are promoted by Taboola, whatever the fuck that is.
And the entire time there was a red popup for “breaking news” taking up 1/5 of the screen.
For those keeping track at home, the article was a total of fourteen sentences, one photo of the school, and two stock photos. And no photo of a bathroom without mirrors.
Republicans’ core beliefs are whatever benefits them, despite how hard they pretend otherwise. Luckily for them, they are immune to hypocrisy.
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?
