For minor children the school is acting as their parent at the time they are there, and that gives them parental powers that obviously exceed normal government powers. But this guy was 18. Being a parent of an adult *doesn't* give you extra authority over them the same way it does over a...

Word salad is a very effective way of convincing the ignorant that you are smart. When cornered by a request for clarification or actual evidence, they usually resort to feigned outrage that you would dare question their dogma.

I have armed security at every dinner I attend.

And the operatives aren't fired for the misconduct. They're fired because they're not good enough at it to not get caught. Plus, they're far less useful now that they are publicly exposed.

I bet they don't even do that twice. They're prosecuting a judge that tried that. She thought the robes would protect her, but they're not a get out of jail free card.

The parts that would burn are the parts we're better off without.

Oh, we have suitable alternatives, but we would absolutely miss having fresh. Oh, and I looked it up. They say those miniature cows are good for 2 gallons of milk a day. That just seems like a ton from something the size of a great dane.

We could not leave our property for 3 weeks and the only thing we'd be missing would be fresh milk and cream for coffee. Wonder how much milk you can get from one of those miniature highland cows. I don't need 100lbs a day from a full size one....

The democrats have themselves convinced that criminals aren't responsible for their anti-social behavior. It's an article of faith for them. That's why it's practically a mantra for them that poverty causes crime. But my experience is different. I think you get just as many miscreants in the...

School lunches should be tasty, nutritious, and dirt cheap. They were all three when I was a kid. And they shouldn't be free, but I think there should be some work available at the school for any kid that needs lunch money. Maybe spend an hour a week cleaning bathrooms or helping in the...

Nah, someone would pay way below market value for the stuff, and some people would make a job out of collecting it like morons. Basically how "professional shoplifters" operate now.

It is. And it's a very penny wise/pound foolish strategy. Because while it may be the cheapest way to resolve the one case, it encourages many more cases. It's like paying a ransom. It may be the cheapest way out now, but it puts a giant target on you that says "attack here" for the future.

Yea, bean counters are notorious for not accounting for the damage that pissing off your customers and employees does.

I could see one of these whackadoodle left wing judges issuing an arrest warrant. I think that could get very interesting.

Live free or die is a stupid motto. As Patton said, you don't win a war by dying. The founding fathers didn't give their lives to defeat England. The risked them, but they (mostly) didn't lose them. If they had lost them they would have lost the war too. The motto should be live free or kill.

I am sure some bean counters and lawyers got together and compared the cost to defend the lawsuit against the cost to redesign the whole product line. And now we see what answer they got. It's really just that simple. It's ugly, it's cowardly, but it's just business.

There are a lot of things necessary for a society to function well that a government *cannot* provide. Charity, when properly applied, can be very valuable for a society. But, it must be controlled to prevent abuse. The *best* way for that to happen is a cultural aversion to using it. In an...

Can ? Yes, absolutely. Will be ? Almost certainly not.

Doesn't mean it won't be expensive.

I could see it ending with federal obstruction charges against a lot of local officials. I certainly would not want to be anywhere near that activity if I were a local or state officer.

And Federal agents could then arrest the local cops for obstructing them. Could turn into quite the shit show.

Would need to take ID. Otherwise, that stuff would be getting palletized and shipped overseas on the taxpayer dime.

Let me guess, the Chinese government will certify as many "credits" as anyone is willing to buy. It's a nice racket if you can get it LOL. Reminds me of the pet rock.

Will be very interesting the first time a Chicago PD officer tries to arrest an ICE agent, and gets himself arrested for interfering in the ICE operation.

I'm not opposed to the concept of charity. It certainly has it's place in a civilized society. But, it is a very dangerous drug. Just like opiates, it is important when it's necessary, and very dangerous if over used. It also needs to be administered at a very local level. Too much...

It would be a landslide alright LOL.

Personally I think hiring the architect from the Soviet apartment buildings was a perfect choice for Obama's library.

Nobody needs a deep understanding of anything. All you need is a cordless right angle drill, a bolt with the head ground to an eccentric, and some duct tape. 5 mins, *any* semi-auto is now full auto, with a variable rate of fire.

I give it 6 months before someone releases new files to print an updated switch.

Well, I'm sure Ukraine will only strike targets in occupied greater Ukraine then. The only question is "what can Russia do to retaliate, and why didn't they do that over the half a million dead Russians already ?". And basically all they have left to escalate is "attack NATO directly", or...

The planes were. And the pilots they killed were.

No, talcum powder isn't flammable. Chemically it's similar to asbestos The chalk isn't flammable either.

Just go to home depot, and buy some red or blue chalk line refill. If you need pink, just mix the red in with some baby powder. Not a flare, but you can get a nice colored cloud. Just be careful not to get it on people, they won't appreciate it. Hard to get off clothes. It will come off...

Well, he's half right. Minorities *should* arm themselves. Everyone should arm themselves, unless they're illegals, then they should just fuck off back to where they came from, *then* arm themselves and unfuck the government that turned that place into th3 shithole they wanted to run away...

The list of people *on the planet* who can cover a $10B/month bill for something like that is *very* small LOL.

Russian troops operated north Vietnamese SAM sites for them and shot down many US aircraft.

You mean like Russia did during Vietnam ?

Nobody does pork like a Democrat.

She's getting older. That may need to change to "had" soon.

She's definitely in the wrong career given her assets.

In typical democrat fashion, they were demanding *someone else* do the work. No way in hell would the people calling for that be kicking in any doors themselves.

Missiles we sell someone aren't US missiles. Unless you're saying every time some sand weasel anywhere in the world fires a Russian S-3/4/500 at one of our planes, we should have treated that as an attack by Russia on the US and just eliminated all their air defense worldwide ?

Read an article about why there's a shortage of labor for some positions like that during a shutdown, even when most are working. If they take vacation time during a shutdown, when the shutdown is over it's counted as "furlough" not against their vacation time. But they get the back pay all...

The democrats are always playing a game of chicken with the shutdowns. They want to use them for leverage, but if they go on too long people start to wonder why we need to start it back up again. Which is why during a shutdown when they're in the white house they'll actually spend *more* money...

Wonder if ICE is planning to attend the meeting?

They think they're the modern version of the French resistance fighting the Nazis. They *are* organized, but that doesn't mean you can just find and arrest a few leaders and they collapse. In that respect they *are* like the French resistance.

99% of Antifa are what Stalin would call useful idiots. They don't have evil intentions, they're just naive and easily manipulated. But, at the same time, 99% of the Germans we killed in WWII were just decent regular guys too. That doesn't mean they didn't have to die. It just means it's...

You're not entirely wrong there. But, we were literally at war with ISIS not too long ago. If someone self identified as a supporter of ISIS wouldn't it have been reasonable to charge them for offering aid and comfort ? If Newsome or AOC wins in 2028 and decides to declare the 3%ers as a...

But, some people will self identify into a group. If that group is a terrorist organization, then they are terrorists. If you show up to a riot in matching antifa shirts, then you *are* part of an organization. And if there is a convenient and mysterious pallet of bricks on the corner for...

They have a right to an opinion, no matter how fucked up it is. But when they act on it, that is criminal. And if they work together to act on it, that is an organization.
