I cannot enter, the page consistently gives the error "Sorry, you're creating too many entries; try again later." If the link will not work from this platform, have the decency to say so.

Irrelevant. He posted it.

She is only talking now because she has a book to sell. It's not for the benefit of anyone but herself.

Probably so. But one unit was managing, and they do drill for this. On the other hand, marching in step to Fortunate Son would be *chef's *kiss level irony...

Two weeks is time, my dude. Yes, buying and installing lights and so forth takes time and effort. Thanks for agreeing.

Look, my dude, I am not conspiracy theorizing. I am saying it took planning. There was no evidence as to the shooter's identity when I made my original post. None. And the evidence still points to planning. There was a hit list and everything. For reals.

2) My point, which you cannot seem to grasp, is that these don't come off the shelf. You do need to exert effort and at least some money to get a good enough fake the cops see it as theirs. It takes *planning.*

1) My original post was several hours old when you decided to drop your non-unique hot take. We were discussing whether or not it may have actually been a cop. The police themselves called it a police vehicle. Not a possible one. You'd think police would know if it was or not - or at least verify.

/eyeroll. It takes planning, son. Not a spur of the moment purchase. This point seems to be sailing over a lot of heads today.

Um, they drill for this. They do usually have a time keep of some sort - the lack is perhaps a sign they didn't want to present that level of discipline in response to the orders to march.

Marching in step is not the same as marching in time to the music. It means marching in unison, at the same pace. Like the military does at other parades and functions. You know, everyone's left foot, then everyone's right foot...

My point is the lede, which is exactly what I said. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, look it up.
comment in response to

For real, @nytimes.com ? THAT is your lede? What about his *voting* record? His evangelical record? The manifesto with multiple political targets? Stop making 360 corkscrews of what ever small scrap of spine you have left to present this as anything other than what it is - right wing terrorism.

Google shows the same temps in LA... and plenty of the rest of the country is hot and muggy today. I give this a B- for effort.

I am not saying the victims had any way of knowing. In fact, I think the opposite. What I *am* saying is that the *police* - who know their vehicles inside and out - thought it was a police car. When I posted initially, we didn't know who the suspect was, remember.
comment in response to
post
You cannot just buy a police car good enough to fool the actual police (who characterized it literally as a police car in the driveway). You have to do a lot more to whatever you buy, which is the point I am making. Your post makes it too, even though you apparently don’t see it.
comment in response to

Presumably, the cops. As in, the ones who didn’t bat an eye at the vehicle they saw in the driveway.

Sorry, looked there and don’t see anything like evidence?

Again, it’s not an “off the shelf “ item. For real.

My point is that you just don’t pick one up casually. The article you link confirms it. Thanks.

Riiiight. (s) Police cars with functional lights, sirens, and the correct current markings are all over eBay…(/s). Get a clue.

Wait, they will require beneficiaries to have an account on a private social media (one on which I will not willingly ever set virtual foot on ever again)??

Better idea: We treat them all the same - as having the First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly? Radical, I know. Only been in the highest law of the land for a couple centuries.

Roberts delayed releasing the opinion until after the "State of the Union" address. Guess he didn't want a starring role in the rant, damage that was done by the delay be damned.

I wish we could. This guy graduated from being the biggest waster of taxpayer dollars as our AG to an embarrassment on the national level, following in the footsteps of our Senior Senator. Our current governor has a High School education. Many of my fellow Missourians drink the red Kool-Aid.

Their 'plan' was to have him grovel for their table scraps in front of MAGA and Russia. They are incapable of recognizing a man who genuinely loves and fights for his country and people with every fiber of his being, because they have no personal experience with the concept of courage.

No, it's not a distraction. It is its own crisis. FFS, it's not like there is a one-to-a-customer limit.

Not so fast. Swift endorsed Harris (after Trump faked her endorsing him). Kelce plays things close to the vest, but his actions lean liberal (supporting a COVID-19 vax campaign, kneeling for the anthem, endorsing Bud Light while it was briefly 'woke,' etc.). Chiefs as a whole? MAGA. Not these two.

Headway is a therapy directory you can search with some decent search filters. It works specifically with providers that take insurance. Drawback is they have very limited customer support.

Again, framing this as if it is in any way legitimate… NYT are cowards who cannot speak the truth despite being part of the only profession that has Constitutional protections. Pathetic.
