Today's political shooting has made all of us less likely to believe anyone in a tactical vest is law enforcement without seeing credentials and verifying identity.

Double edged sword. Boycotts only have power if the company knows who and why. Since both groups are boycotting them, Walmart has to pander to both.

It would be just like him to have ICE standing by after the event just to avoid having to pay.

Morale will probably get a lot worse now that a judge has ruled that DiaperDon had no right to send them. Hegseth never filed the paperwork for their assignment meaning no pay, no insurance... Now, with the judge's ruling thwarting Taco, that paperwork may never get filed.

This shows exactly what's wrong with today's media. Any reporter worth his salt would recognize the real story is outside with the Congressman rather than inside with a rehashed diatribe from a cosplayer. They should have all gone outside to cover Congressman Padilla.

The real shame here is that the 12K a year is only a drop in the bucket to someone making over $500K a year, far less than 1%, while the $1600 a year may be the difference between the family eating or keeping a roof over their heads. These people need to be replaced.

Crypto came with some great concepts, block chain for one, but in the end it has no value, only what you can con somebody else into paying. It's death will be all the competing meme coins popping up. Every crook and our president know a good con when they see it.

The targets ICE is choosing makes it clear they only want numbers. They could go after gangs but they might get shot at. Much safer to go after kids and restaurant workers, they don't fight back.

It goes without saying that ICE will be there in force. Diaperdon is hoping for arrests and ICE won't care about credentials. If you absolutely have to be there take care. I'm hoping for mass mechanical breakdowns.

We don't want another Biden or even Obama as our next president. We need someone with the drive and conviction to absolutely roll back every one of the GOP corrupt actions, from the destroyed financial protections, environmental protections and even our national lands. AOC might be up to the job.

Beginning to think Musk's idea of a third party might be a good idea. It doesn't have to be Musk that starts it. Sternly worded letters just aren't going to cut it.

Setting the tax rate to 68% for billionaires would allow us to eliminate all the disaster caused by Doge and still give a tax break to the rest of us.

He's never been a favorite of mine but when you hear him talk or text vs diaper don & company, the difference in intelligence is striking. Newsom talks in complete sentences without rambling. He actually makes sense. Makes me long for an intelligent president. Go Newsom!

Did they get the jurors on craigslist like they did for the seat fillers for the parade.

Can we report our Russian president and congress? I haven't seen DiaperDon's birth certificate.

I don't doubt it but any references on this?

Heavenly dream. I can only hope his antics have awakened the non-voters and we use verified voting machines.

Far closer to Gestapo.

I have a great idea, make RFK Jr. the only medical advisor for Congress. He should be exclusive to protecting the Congress that voted for him. Let the rest of us suffer with the vaccine peddling experts we always have. After all, we're all going to die. Wonder how long he would last then.

They're deliberately going after soft targets to incite protests and riots. This is intentional. Diaper Don is just itching to declare martial law.

Lots of good non-violent images coming out of LA to make Diaper Don and his cronies to look like warmongers. Still mainstream media is doing all they can to make it look completely out of control. Use every form of social media you can to get the message out. Send these clips to your Congressmen.

I think it's a rule that you can't be smarter than Diaper Don and that really limits the available talent.

I wonder if Donnie has plans to house and feed the Marines or additional National Guard units. The community could make it very difficult for the National Guard by providing food. Who would you support, the idiots that don't care about you, or the community helping you? It doesn't have to be tacos.

How many people will quit ICE, LA Police or National Guard as a result of this weekend? They know these people are defending their families and neighbors. They're certainly not gangs or cartel, they would shoot back. To know you're beating on fellow Americans only to make a political statement.

The only way Donnie Diaper and his GOP toadies stay in power is by invoking martial law. He knows it, his handlers know it and his GOP toadies know it. This is the same tactic he's using on tariffs. Declare an emergency and assume extraordinary powers.

I'd like to argue your point but there does seem to be a lot of negative replies to this post. I can't say I always agree with your positions but your posts have greatly improved my personal opinion of you. Hope you stick it out out while we deal with TACO tantrums.

If we're going to charge him with human trafficking we also need to charge Texas governor Greg Abbot. He was using buses to transport immigrants across state lines. Are we sure there were no criminals in all those buses?

Okay I had no desire to read anything Joni might say but this is brilliant. I hope more people are looking at domain names the politicians should have reserved but didn't. This gives a record of her crimes against her constituents in a clear concise fashion. We need more websites like this.

I don't like crypto but I think crypto's death will be the dilution caused by too many competing crypto coins. People investing in crypto are few, as more and more conmen create their own crypto the reputation and value of crypto assets will slowly dwindle to zero. opinionbypen.com/how-to-becom...

Let's see, children attending school being dragged out of school by military garbed gestapo, oh sorry, goons. Nope, I don't feel safer at all. In fact, I would feel much safer if the children stayed in school and the cosplayers stayed home.
