The Uvalde cops would still sit that one out somehow.
Wouldn’t want to risk getting their eye pocked by accident.

A safe or the lock that usually comes for free with most pistols. But no, Fox news says we have to fear imminent “migrant crime” or “antifa” so better to be all loaded up and ready to blast away. Common sense be damned.
It wouldn’t be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.
After Trump’s NFT and silly sneakers, this just seems par for the course.
Anti-intellectualism leads to people following charismatic, self-confident narcissists (a.k.a. confidence artists).
They don’t turn into criminals, they attract.
No more drugs for that man.
Because this is the Internet, a link is always appreciated: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-secret-ap3-militia-american-patriots-three-percent.
I’m all for electric cars but a giant, shiny, electric-powered, fussy truck would be my last pick in an emergency.
It’s not so bad… for the super-rich and powerful who can afford to buy protection or simply jet off to a peaceful place while cheering for whatever side they favor.
Remember this guy was born in a white-minority-ruled country. Comfy in his luxury gated community while paid tugs would break the heads of the blacks who would dare poke out of their “townships” (shanty towns) to ask for fair treatment.
Yeah, I’ve had a sad laugh about all this stupid alt-right knee-jerk reaction. Algeria, bastion of “wokeness”.
How out of touch are these people?
So many options!
So many patches needed to make it palatable.
The ultimate twist on the “casting couch” cliché.
The link between conspiracies and ads is way stronger than that. The ad industry really went into high gear following WWII when the people working on pumping out propaganda to drive their own side of the war stepped up the game by applying psychology, new media, and a bigger budget.
Those people and techniques then moved to the commercial market when the war ended and applied their trade to peddle us the crap their customers wanted to sell. Make us feel bad if we don’t buy product X and go on an endless consumption treadmill to try to feel good and adequate about ourselves.
It is despicable and even worse with ads targeting children.
Oh and he overpaid because he wanted the per-stock purchase stock to have the “420” gag. So instead of paying $53 per stock, he paid $54.20. That’s a total of $150 million more for a stupid joke.
That would count on the Supreme Court not to mess with this for a Republican candidate.
Not scary: some people were vaporized leaving only a shadow, others badly burned as the painting shows, people were maimed and amputated by the blast, and a big part of the city was blown and burned down. Plus the poor souls who would die horribly from acute radiation poisoning over the following days.
And let’s not forget those nuclear weapons were some of the very first ever made. Modern atomic weapons can range from Hiroshima-size to turning a mountain into a radioactive lake range. Thankfully no hydrogen bomb has even been used in anger because that would be a completely different level of horror (and likely the trigger to the end of human civilization).
Many nuclear powers have policies to fire nukes on warning. That means they would shoot back even before the enemy nuke hits them. Shoot when the nukes are confirmed to be incoming.
Republicans love to regularly talk down the World-ending horror that would be using atomic weapons in war. During Bush Jr.'s “war on terror” they were already talking about using bunker-buster nukes and tried to diminish the well-deserved stigma of nuclear weapons.
Renaming them atomic weapons “Musk bombs” sounds hilariously misguided.
Yes that one, so forgettable.
Do ignore the one before this one. The one without Ron or Del Toro.
Good point. A ruling rolled back while the Democrats are ruling (albeit by the Supreme Court which heavily weights towards Republican).
The NRA must receive its blood sacrifice (and occasional payment from Russia).
