More words. If words, intentions and platitudes were valuable, Zelenskyy would have made Ukraine into the richest country in the world by now.

Here's an idea for Tim Walz- you're a politician, how about you cross the aisle and convince those on the other side to do ANYTHING against Trump and Project 2025? Can't find "common ground"?? Well, neither can we. Lead by example, not cheap words.

They call for it and they will do little. EU leaders are all talk and little action when it comes to Russia. Basically, Ukraine is an unfortunate inconvenience to them they wish would go away. Actions speak WAY louder than words. Too bad for them Ukraine wants to live and will fight to the death.

No, not in Florida, but I have traveled a lot of the country including Florida. Congratulations on your PPL! You'll never forget your first solo and your first flight home after your checkride as a certified pilot. The PPL is not the toughest ticket to get, but IMO, it's the best. 👍

My dad wasn't much for pop culture, he didn't read any novels, much TV, almost never went to the movies and no music in the house, not by edict, but by choice. Still, he read newspapers everyday and on Sunday he always read me the colored comics. To this day I love the Peanuts. Also shop manuals.

Yes and to back up this photo, they're also spreading around a BS photo of some "No Kings" protest signs printed on plain 8.5 x 11 plain paper on the back seat of a car they claim belongs to the shooter. It is fake as hell and anyone with education can easily tell.

Yes. If I were Tim Walz I would put a special hush-hush investigation on this whole incident. Sadly, Tim will get zero help from today's FBI. Today's FBI would just frame a Guatemalan lawnmower dude and hand him over.

The whole world seems to secretly wish that Ukraine would just go away so they can get back to business with Russia. I really hope Ukraine has a secret nuclear weapons program going on.

Usual BS news reporting. They reported LA as a “clash” between PD and protesters, when in reality the cops just decided to attack protesters for no reason. There are videos. We can ALL see them!

I would check which ever militia groups are operating in Minnesota.

My question is, did Boelter escape police, or did they let him get away?
comment in response to post
Maybe our new fascists learned something yesterday- OUR MILITARY DOESN'T DO PARADES. The Army took the bullet, now the Navy and the Marines don't have to go through this shit later this year.
comment in response to post
They're basically trying to ease us into expecting Russian control. The entire GOP are traitors, but popular ones I guess.
comment in response to post
It's time for Newsom to take charge of his national guard and put them between the people and the LAPD. If the NG won't do it, it's time for the people to take on the LAPD themselves. Noem and her minions seem to be trying hard to start a civil war in LA. They will keep trying 'till they get it.

It's very bad! These people need to be kept away from the military! They care about human life like Putin does.
comment in response to post
This is terrible news! These people are the ones that are against democracy and support the concept of "freedom cities". They also believe much of the population must go by whatever means. The AI and robotics the tech world works on can help the military, but it can also be turned against us.
comment in response to post
They all love them and want them until the day they attack. The fact that one collapsed in the middle of the act shows that the tech isn't ready for prime time and they are forcing them ahead as fast as they can. They do not have complete control and eventually people will get hurt.

Who exactly do they “protect and serve”?
comment in response to post
They’re saying it out loud again. Do the rank and file in the various services know they are standing for Putin??
comment in response to post
How do we know he was impersonating? How do we know it wasn't a real cop?
comment in response to post
The problem with that is, the Project 2025 plans got them to get rid of all the senior commanders that would have spoken up. All that is left are Trump loyalists. There will be no speaking up from high command. It's up to the individual soldiers now and that's not inspiring.
comment in response to post
Well, at least it's not as bad as all those humongous protests that happened during Biden's time, remember that? Oh yeah, neither do I. They all say that Biden was the worst president EVER and that he RUINED the country, but they couldn't be bothered to protest? Hmmm... must not have been that bad.

THIS, might be able to finally take down the Kerch bridge!
comment in response to post
Nice dream, but the large majority of the US military is still in love with Trump and his corrupt regime. Hard times haven't hit THEM yet. I've a dream about the whole US Pacific Fleet returning to defend California, Oregon and Washington, from this nightmare, but that's not going to happen either.
comment in response to post
No, but it does show the hypocrisy of Adam Kinzinger. He's still MAGA at heart, even if he has been exiled.
comment in response to post
Why would anyone want to bring new people into this world now, other than selfish reasons?
comment in response to post
I think they may have been local police. I'm not sure who they were. It's playing out that local police are loyal to Trump, not their communities, or their mayor, or their governor. So is the military. The Democrats control pretty much zero guns at this point. Blue states are going to fall 1 by 1.
comment in response to post
Yes. Likely very little damage was done. It turns out the pilings for this bridge are massively overbuilt. Likely because they expected Ukraine to try to take it down at some point. The only way this bridge is coming down is from the top and at this point Ukraine just doesn't have what they need.
comment in response to post
Amazingly, they said in '23 I think that they were prepared to go to 5,000,000. Human life is near worthless to fascists. People are an expendable item to them to be used up where needed.

Mmm.. yes, yes it is. The greatest grift of all.

And now he wants to deport, or kill all those janitors that would pick up his trash. In this clip the trash holds a microphone.
comment in response to post
That's awesome!! I love it. Well done.
comment in response to post
No. There are better options. He's too wonky. It's VERY clear now that we need someone that is relatable to people who never went to college, or even dropped out of high school. That's Trump's secret sauce. He can talk to these people. A better choice IMO; Tim Walz. There are others out there too.
comment in response to post
The problem with this strategy is when the droids start firing rubber bullets, flash bangs and smoke grenades, there you are, exactly where those things are aimed, without the ability to leave quickly. If you think they will think twice about shooting at a seated, peaceful protestor, think again.
comment in response to post
The truth is, in the US other than the tabloids, nobody gives a fuck about Melania. The fact that she's nowhere to be seen is a good thing. It means that she's the only one in Trump's orbit that isn't actively working to wreck the USA.
comment in response to post
Clearly the Mayor of LA has no control over her police force.
comment in response to post
The way things are going with Europe and the rest of the world, Putin may well achieve this. The whole world seems to have lost its mind and now believes that life under a dictatorship wouldn't be all that bad. The western Europeans should be scared shitless, but they don't seem to be.

It seems like Elon comes to regret A LOT of his posts. This should be an insight into the working of his drug infused brain. He is no genius.
comment in response to post
Agreed. The people will have to go to war or accept Russian rule. This may well be the case in the USA too.
comment in response to post
If this is true, it's a GREAT first step. People of all political persuasions respect firefighters and democracy needs solid allies right now. If this is accurate, it may give pause to many in the LAPD.

I remember reading a while back that China was making large sub-assemblies for these for the Ruzzians. That protects production from anyone and of course China can make anything in huge quantities. I don't think they were building the whole thing for political reasons though.
comment in response to post
My guess is, Orban is aware of future Russian plans to expand the war into Europe and is exploring the feasibility of grabbing that oblast from Ukraine and expanding Hungary.
comment in response to post
Mmmm... there's LOADS of MAGA in California, young and old. Like I said, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong. That's why Newsom should give the order, so we can see where we actually stand.
comment in response to post
ALL of the big corporate media companies will soon be state run propaganda outlets by the end of the year. Even MSNBC. In addition, all the small independent news organizations will also fall one by one due to crushing lawsuits against them and their personalities. Look to foreign countries for news
comment in response to post
I seriously doubt they would follow Newsom's orders. Nevertheless, Newsom should do it. He should give those orders just so we can all see who and what these "brave men and women in uniform" actually stand for. I think those on the left would be very disappointed, but I would LOVE to be wrong!
comment in response to post
I'll believe that the Marines are some sort or real patriots when I see it. I don't think they're any different that the Army, Navy, Airforce, or the local police. When I see them cross the line and stand with the protesters, THEN I will believe this. I'm in no way expecting to see this ever happen.
comment in response to post
The problem is, these soldiers have been brainwashed to believe that the protesters ARE the domestic threat. We're dealing with a military that has been fed a steady diet of Fox News.
comment in response to post
Don't count on that for one minute. Most of these Marines, like those of the Army, Navy and Air Force, have been fed a steady diet of Fox News. If you wallow in that Kremlin propaganda long enough, you will start to believe that Trump, MAGA and even Putin are defending the USA's traditional values.
