Didn’t even try
Lol, sure thing. I assume nobody else who follows world soccer believes this either. Elsewhere, Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon. I think it was deliberate in order for Kyrgios to be fresh against Joker in the final. He wants to be top dog and that’s his best chance.  I can’t find anything else worth talking about aside from mentioning the Baker Mayfield trade and how fun week 1 will be with Carolina playing Cleveland. So I’ll move on.
But it was the last guy who was an authoritarian. We’re on a slippery slope here because this senile dipshit keeps vilifying a coequal branch of government and keeps trying to undermine them.  Hopefully the court slaps down whatever half-baked EO is issued. And hopefully it reasserts its authority while doing so.
Seemed like a good dude
Shinzo Abe assassinated in Japan. This is sad. The dude seemed like a good guy and really hated commies.
I sure hope they’re right. What kind of dumbass looks at this crazy asshole and helps him obtain a gun?
Sad news to Japanese card game and anime fans. I never got into any of that, but I know how popular it is.
This is outstanding! Hopefully the jury agrees with the judge.
Good! I hope that prick never knows a day’s peace.
Always and forever
Thank God they left the hot dogs alone. They know the consequences of doing that.
So…more of the same failed bullshit. Why am I not surprised?
This is quality trolling. Also, aren’t masks good anymore? They’re just following the science while they exercise their 1A rights to protest, right progressives? You’re big fans of Antifa doing this, so why not these clowns?
Here’s a great montage song. Too bad they didn’t use clips from the movie in the video. Oh well, enjoy it.
Now go have a great day, dear friends.
“Shinzo Abe assassinated in Japan. ”
Yikes!
“This is sad. The dude seemed like a good guy and really hated commies.”
Agreed. RIP
That’s very likely why he was killed…
No, they assured in the article that us that a guy built a ghost gun in a country with some of the most strict gun control laws and killed a politician but didn’t have a problem with his politics.
Also, I have a bridge for sale.
This here
https://qz.com/1301625/trump-vs-the-whole-world-is-perfectly-captured-by-this-photo-of-world-leaders/
In that photo, Abe appears to be looking at Merkel with contempt.
He was killed for being brave enough to tell the truth.
Honest Abe. RIP
Quote in the WSJ
He just killed him, but was fine with his politics.
“Can’t talk, ‘hate-jacking'”
“The incident was the latest in a string of attempts by far-right groups to link LGBTQ events to child grooming and pedophilia.”
Far-left groups already did that.
They did it without assistance.
The crime they accuse the right off is telling people the left is grooming their kids. They want parents to just shut up and let them do this.
“It ain’t gonna lick itself”
I like how the group is just labeled âwhite nationalistâ and âhate group â without ever citing any evidence.
The seriousness of the crime means we can’t be bothered with such technicalities.
The SPLC says so, case closed.
Asked if the suspect’s parents could be in any criminal jeopardy, Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly said it’s too early to tell.
âThereâs probably going to be civil litigation. There is ongoing criminal prosecution and criminal investigation,” he told reporters Wednesday.
There will definitely be civil litigation, right up until the plaintiffs realize that the shooter’s parents have no appreciable assets. Then it’ll be time to sue the gun manufacturer.
Apparently they own a fairly popular restaurant. Well that’s done now.
Why the hell did they help him get a gun when they had to know he was a psycho?
I’m guessing a strong sense of denial. “He’s my kid, he’s okay. The two-tone hair, the face tattoos, that’s just a phase he’s going through.”
And to be fair, there are tens of millions of young people out there who are dressing and acting in ways to freak out the normies, but have no intention of ever committing a crime of any kind, never mind mass murder.
Sure. But the cops came and took all his weapons away 3 years ago. And since then all he’s done is post insane shit online.
The hair and face tats weren’t really even what I was talking about. There’s a trove of evidence showing he was a dangerous nutjob. His parents had to have seen that.
Stupid move by the father, but absolute bullshit if he faces any liability. Firearm permits are unconstitutional and blaming the father for sponsoring the FOID is implicit acceptance of FOIDs. In a free state without FOIDs, Crimo would have passed the background check and gone home with the gun.
Freedom is risky and dangerous. Either Crimo was too dangerous to live freely in society (lock him up in jail, a mental facility, or put him down like a rabid animal) or he’s a full participating member. Giving family members (ex wives with a grudge, etc) the ability to red flag citizens is far for more dangerous than any number of mass shooters.
He should have been locked in the nuthouse.
Agreed. If you canât be trusted with knives, why are you walking around? Clearly you are a major danger to others.
He’d already made threats of violence and suicide. They were bad enough they had to take his weapons away. Couple that with his online posts, and it should have been obvious to his parents he was really fucked in the head.
We need to bring back mental institutions.
But there needs to be better controls and oversight; because the institutions were used to lock up a lot of people without recourse.
I don’t disagree.
I agree there shouldn’t be a FOID system, but since they did, I’d look at that as “vouching” someone into the mob, when it turns out bad, they’re coming for you too.
The FOID system is wrong and no one should ever be held accountable for not supporting it. There shouldn’t be a “but” following a statement like “The FOID system is wrong”.
As a free citizen, Crimo should have been able to buy a gun and would have in most other states. The father had nothing to do with it. The focus here should be on if Crimo should have been locked up in an institution or put down in the ground prior to buying the gun. If the answer is no to that question, then this couldn’t have been prevented.
I don’t know why people do this, but it’s common enough to be noteworthy.
The asshole who murdered Dimebag Darrel was given his pistol by his mother. Same with the Sandy Hill asshole – admittedly he did kill his mother to get access to the gun safe, but she did buy several guns explicitly for him. Then there was Chris Kyle. He literally gave the gun to the asshole who backshot him.
Dunno. I really want sport shooting to remain open and inclusive, but you really shouldn’t be handing guns over to obvious circus sideshow freaks, either.
Same with Kip Kinkel. But his parents paid the price first.
The Sandy Hill killed his mother as well. He needed to get access to her keys. She wouldn’t let have the guns unsupervised.
Yeah, I have a real issue with lending one of my guns. You need a gun, go buy one yourself, please.
The people I hang with have backups.
and the gun store
Does not Illinois have an process to obtain a “Firearm Owners ID” Card? Does that process not include background checks? Seems like, if the State, after due research and sober consideration, saw fit to grant the kid the privilege of buying firearms, the gun store can’t be held liable for selling the kid a gun.
I’ll see myself out.
You silly person. No gun store no gun. No gun no murder. A gun’s only purpose is to murder.
Yup, I read it on sugar free. Guns are violent perverts.
Right in the buttstock.
With the thing that goes up.
will be allowed to plead not guilty
There are circumstances where you aren’t allowed to plead not guilty?
It’s “Not guilty by reason of justification” where there are preconditions. Basicially it’s a plea of “I did it, but it wasn’t a crime because…”
In some states you need to clear some pre-trial bars to bring the argument of justification before the jury.
A “Normal” not guilty plea is “I didn’t do it.”
Is that similar to pleading no contest? Serious question.
No, no contest is “I accept the penalty, but don’t admit to doing the crime”.
Pleading no contest means you accept that they’ll find you guilty, but are not copping to the crime. Has some ramifications in civil court.
Maybe I missed it but don’t recall such proceedings for Rittenhouse.
I wasn’t paying close enough attention to say one way or another.
“But it was the last guy who was an authoritarian. Weâre on a slippery slope here because this senile dipshit keeps vilifying a coequal branch of government and keeps trying to undermine them. Hopefully the court slaps down whatever half-baked EO is issued. And hopefully it reasserts its authority while doing so.”
The dipshit isn’t doing this. That asshat criminal doesn’t have a clue wtf is going on anymore. Dementia does that. It’s the people that installed him, so they could unwind the work that damaged the globalist agenda they are in overdrive now to get back on track, doing this to us. The globalist order can’t win as long as the American middle class exists and feels it is a betrayal for our government to sell us out to the other rich assholes in their clique. So the plan is to wreck it, then make all these people dependent of government so they can be controlled like the Europeans. My warning is that if that effort to destroy & hook the middle class on government handouts fails, all they can then do is adopt the CCP model of turning us into drones whose lives can be taken at their whim.
This SCOTUS has been particularly selected by Trump to tackle abortion. An EO isn’t going to stand in their way. If the democrats want to reinvigorate the 10th amendment, I couldn’t think of a better way to do it.
OFFS!
Dementia is cop-out.
The guy has been a party stooge his entire life and nothing has changed. He does whatever the party tells him to, all he asks in return is to get paid and keep his family protected.
Yugi-Oh brought us Bandit Keith. An American in a flag bandana with outrageous self-confidence. It’s high time we be the Americans the Japanese think we are. For Abe.

Ray : There’s a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that’ll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all of this, I’d go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison… death… didn’t matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn’t be in fuckin’ Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that’s what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin’ Bruges.

Also belgian beer still sucks.
Stella Artois isn’t that bad…. And most Belgian babes will switch off between speaking “Francais” and “Nederlands” while you work them out…
Ummm…really? “Lets pick possibly the worst beer from Belgium to defend them?”
Its called “wife-beater” in the UK for a reason.
You guys drink beer warm, yo… Wasn’t that why we had a revolution back when in your old colonies? I know people pretend it is the tea or the taxes, but it has to be the warm beer and the spotted dick…
Cool beer (cellar temperature), not warmed. And spotted dick is good: sponge pudding with currants, topped with custard.
That’s how you get monkeypox.
STELLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well this is nonsense. So at least we know you haven’t been kidnapped by saying something unusual.
Uh, no. It doesn’t.
10 paces at dawn. Outside the Cantillon brewery. So I can enjoy a nice gueuze before and after your death.
Especially that Trappist hoppy shit.
But…mussels in Brussels and French fries with mayonnaise!
Trappist…hoppy?
huh? Trappists are not very hoppy at all.
I always thought malty and strong AF.
malty and sweet. Some hops to offset the malt sweetness, but not too many.
I remember it being bitter. I just assumed the bitterness came from excessive hops?
See above, you shouldn’t be getting bitter from a trappist. Malty and sweet and some spicyness from the yeast. Maybe it was the spice flavors?
https://www.bjcp.org/style/2021/26/
When you say trappist, I tend to think of 26D or maybe 26C. Maybe you were drinking a 26A, but seems unlikely.
Hoegaarden is delicious.

Murky buckets?
Well, this made my morning. Lemme ‘splain.
1) Read the “merci buckets”
2) Thought immediately of this scene, which has one of my favorite songs from the film (along with One Way Love)
3) Recalled the lovely Diane Franklin in The Last American Virgin (Q will have to link to the NSFW scene, cuz I ain’t)
4) Listened to Lionel Richie’s “Oh No” while watching said scene
5) Spending the rest of the morning streaming Richie’s Tuskegee album whilst perusing Glibs
I really like that album. And Better Off Dead. And young Diane Franklin.
Great flick.

So the Browns traded their QB from last season knowing the QB they signed for this season may be suspended by the league? That’s impressive, even for that organization.
They want to go back to the good old days where everyone made Browns jokes?
That ended?
They have an impressive 4 season streak of finishing 3rd instead of last.
They are always investigating new heights of letting you down.
????
What the hell Cleveland!
It’s 3D chess. They new they were still going to suck, but now it’s not their fault! It’s that damn Goodell’s fault for suspending their QB!
Baker probably wouldn’t have played for them anyway, even if he was on the roster.
Baker was pretty well out once the Browns announced they wanted Watson. Right after that news broke, Baker put a big goodbye letter to Cleveland on all his social media outlets. Then the news reported that Watson wasn’t interested in Cleveland. With no starting quarterback (as Baker had made rumblings about not taking another snap in Cleveland), the Browns doubled down on getting Watson, and the huge contract is (most likely) what swayed Watson into agreeing to the deal. The expected suspension was 6-8 games based on previous (and similar) cases. The Browns were hoping to at least get a 1st round pick for Baker. Baker’s attitude, injuries, last season, and actions caused other teams to be wary of taking on the $18 M fully guaranteed contract for one season. If Baker had acted like a professional, he would have sucked it up, and prepared to take the field during the Watson suspension to show he was worth the money for a contract next year.

No.
WE NEEDZ MORE MAIL IN BALLOTS!
Why do they assume there were any infectious microbes locked into that ice in the first place?
To be trapped in ice, the microbes would have to have been there. What reservoir host was up there shedding these microbes into the falling snow? How many are actually able to infect humans?
Also, when were those glaciers laid down, and are they actually storing ice from that time, or has it cycled down?
Dude. They were created by Raz Al-Ghul.

I gotta say, the premise of the Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2045 series is a little too on the nose: that the “American Empire” instituted “sustainable war” as an economic stimulus package, to remedy the “global simultaneous default” that they more or less accidentally caused.
“Emmett Till protesters STORM senior living facility in search of woman accused of setting lynch mob on him after 1955 warrant for her arrest is unearthed in Mississippi courthouse
We on the move. We don’t know how they’re hiding this white woman down here, they’re hiding Carolyn Bryant Donham,’ Shabazz said in a Facebook Live. ‘They’re calling the police, but we’re on the move. We know she’s in here.’
The group descended on the brightly lit room, where senior citizens sat in wheelchairs and looked confused as the activists – some wearing what appears to be bulletproof vests – entered.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10992759/Emmett-Till-protesters-storm-senior-facility-searching-woman-accused-setting-lynch-mob-him.html
Do they even know she’s alive?
They should all be tossed in the clink before they lynch some innocent old person. Fucking disgustingâŚ
‘Activists.’
Got it.
Well, if you needed another reason to personally own an AR-pattern rifle, the world just keeps serving them up…
My favorite anagram for “activists” is scat visit.
Democrats nod and smile as their efforts at tearing the country apart continue to bear fruit.
I might argue this is where the country needs Christianity or at least Christian principles. The woman may be a piece of shit. This woman played a role in the murder of that poor young boy. She may have played a greater role than I originally thought when I first read about this years ago.
But we she’s clearly not out there defending what she did and I would hope she developed remorse. We need to find a way to forgive. Don’t get me wrong, most likely she should have been held accountable many years ago. But after a certain point in time, we have to learn to forgive and let go. That a part of why we have a statute of limitations on crimes. It’s why I don’t want to be fully judged by my past mistakes.
Don’t get me wrong, we all should have to take responsibility for our actions, and some are so egregious that we can never let go. But, what will this accomplish? She’s either already had to live with the weight of this or is irredeemable. She’s close enough to meeting her maker that it’s his turn to judge.
And if we are going to go after her, can we do it in a way that might not ruin the lives of a bunch of seniors that are already miserable and waiting to die.
There’s something profoundly ironic about lynch mob lynching somebody for instigating a lynch mob.
Such is totally lost on these raging imbeciles.
Terrorizing senior citizens is always a winning strategy.
Reminds me of the stories we get occasionally out of Germany of them finding some 90 year old to throw in jail for something they did in the camps.
Wheel her ass to court and toss her in jail, but they should be protesting outside the police headquarters demanding they arrest her instead of creating a potentially dangerous scene at a nursing facility.
If either of my parents are in a nursing facility and I see a lynch mob out front, the guns are coming out.
What crime is there to charge her with that hasn’t passed the statute of limitations?
Is your prosecutorial theory that she was intentionally trying to kill Till by proxy?
Is there a statute of limitations on rape or murder?
I’m a firm believer that false accusers should be charged with the same level of severity as the crime they falsely accused their victim of.
However, with the rule of law, you have the issue that at the time of the events, that was not the law. I don’t think ending the protection on ex post facto laws is a good idea.
Granted, it’s only alleged, but supposedly that Till fellow wolf-whistled at a woman, which is now a capital crime, so there is that.
Hey, sexual assault is sexual assault. #believeallwomen, amirite?

Texas Proud Boys’ adoption of Buckyâs image is only the latest example of white supremacists adopting easily recognizable pop-culture symbols to assert their place in mainstream political and cultural discourse, said Heidi Beirich, Ph.D., founder and leader of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and the former leader of Southern Poverty Law Centerâs Intelligence Report and Hatewatch blog.
âItâs this idea that you need to get yourself dressed in mainstream clothing, and seep into society without being readily identified as a ‘bad guy,’ that people in the white supremacist movement have been aware of for a long time,” Beirich said.
Blah blah fucking blah. Monsters in the closet. Monsters under the bed. Monsters in your sock drawer. It must really suck to be you.
Also, this is how you do corporate-speak:
âWe have never had contact with these people and do not know who they are,â Jeff Nadalo, the general counsel of Buc-eeâs, told Texas Monthly, adding: âNo third party is going to prevent us from providing clean bathrooms equally to all people.â
Translation: While we wish they’d wear Ed Hardy or some brand already associated with douchbaggery, we’ll weather this silly trend (and the even sillier handwringing that’s accompanying it) by focusing the customer on our core competencies.
What about second parties?
In this contract, the party of the first part hall be known as the party of the first part.
What about second parties?
While all the pants shitting from TMITE complicates Buc-ee’s mission to provide clean bathrooms, our associates are up to the task.
One guy wore something at a protest and now it’s white supremacists adopting pop-culture symbols. You know what? All of them were wearing shoes, too…
Had to queue this up.
That’s such a perfect clip to use here for several reasons. That basically is the corporate media trying to interpret the “white supremacist” threat, ascribe meaning to meaningless clues and link together things that are in no way related.

I watched the pretty Dutch farm lady on Tucker last night. Learned that the Netherlands in the #2 agricultural exporter in the world. Their government desperately wants to destroy that industry because of “nitrate poisoning”? When Tucker asked her what the government would like to do with all that soon to be unused farmland she said that wanted to use it to house immigrants. (Do millions of immigrants shit less than thousands of cows?)
The evil of the left never ceases to amaze me. They want to destroy the livelihood and traditions of the native population while turning the bucolic Dutch countryside into a hellscape of public house and third world immigrants.
A divided population will always vote for authoritarian policies but just think of the cuisine!
Cuisine? With the local farms destroyed, they’ll be eating “food” manufactured in factories.
President Joe Biden will sign an executive order Friday aimed at protecting abortion rights in response to the landmark decision by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
The “right” has not been removed. But it should be fun to see how this plays out.

I always thought this was when you jacked off to homemade porn of you and your ex after she left left you for your best friend.

Ask their Afro-Cuban leader about the white supremacy, maybe he knows.
He is the Afro-Cuban face of white supremacy!…
As far as I can tell, the key prerequisite to an organization being labelled “white supremacist” is that it’s full of feds and state/local police moles. Once you’re on the SPLC’s radar, you can bet you’ve got more agents than sincere members.
Man, thatâs crazy/sad about Abe. He always seemed like a reasonable guy in international politics.
RIP
I saw that Abe had died yesterday, but I didn’t realize it was an assassination. Did the assassin make any political statements, or has a group claimed responsibility?
Weirdly a lot of mainstream American reporting, at least on social media, keeps saying Abe was shot instead of saying was assassinated.
Gotta feed the algorithms?
He just didn’t like him…or how it’s being sequestered in Japan.
Maybe Abe was porking his wife. Otherwise I don’t see how this is anything but political.

We are incompetent at our core mission so what harm could it be to take on more?
Distrust the government? The hell you say!
“This NPR/Ipsos survey of American gun owners shows that the majority of gun owners are supportive of moderate gun control measures like background checks or increased age requirements, but harbor deep distrust of government suggesting the barriers that exist to more actions on guns,” said Chris Jackson, senior vice president with Ipsos.
The survey of 1,022 adults with at least one gun was conducted from June 15 to 21, before the mass shooting in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, but after those in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points. There were 445 Republicans interviewed, 389 independents and 183 Democrats. (Five people declined to answer.)
“Go ‘way. Shootin’.”
Fucking Fudds never heard of incrementalism or what?
Too busy taking a bath in this nice warm water.
âmore actions on gunsâ
Shouldnât that be âmore actions on criminalizing gun ownershipâ?
We’ve already got single action and double action guns. Now they’re talking about triple action? When will it end?
“As a gun owner myself, both pistols and hunting rifles, I feel that it’s important that background checks, red flag laws and raising the age should be something that we as a country should be doing,” said poll respondent Christopher Montes of Connecticut.
Montes, a self-declared independent, said there are simply too many guns in the wrong hands.
Nigra hands, that would be, I reckon.
Draft them and issue them a rifle? A-OK.
Let that same person purchase a firearm? Absolutely not.
Fuck off Chris.
too many guns in the wrong hands.
Lefthanded people ruin it for everyone.
as a lefty I find it obnoxious how many guns eject the brass on the wrong side.
Every gun I’ve ever fired has ejected on the right side, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
One would think there would be a niche market to serve the freaks of nature in our zillion gun land O’plenty.
Cabot makes one, a bit spendy tho.
This is why Mrs. Dean shoots the Tavor. As a bullpup, it has to be reversible or lefties can’t shoot it at all.

Added Emmanuel, “I have spoken with senior Japanese leaders and we all agree that this crisis should not go to waste, and that it is high time for Japan to enact common-sense rules regulating gosuto guns.”

If I took my GSD to a children’s hospital, she’d kill everyone in the building and then me for putting her in a situation that left he no choice.
We have a mastiff therapy dog who is the fave in our pediatric units. She has an advantage because she is big enough to reach the kids who are in a bed.
Taking the Big Dumb One to a children’s hospital would be like firing a fur-coated cinder block down the hall.

President Joe Bidenâs administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report.
In April, Bidenâs Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.
This is a bit late, but here is some video of Minneapolis’ fireworks show.
Amazing what has happened to our city in just 2 years.
WTF?
Normal behavior. Don’t question their patriotism
I can’t think of any reason to set up a car like a technical and do that other than to start fires and hurt people. That’s fucking crazy.
Which is it db. Do you want to be a helicopter parent or free-range?
Well there was also a shootout nearby that wounded 8.
I still can’t figure out why downtown Minneapolis hasn’t seen a return of corporate workers to the office towers there.
That portrait mode is the biggest crime.
JFC.
You’re just jelly.
The area that these videos are from is called the Warehouse District. When I was working at a startup we had an office there because it was so cheap. The area was a bunch of old warehouses that had some run down lofts. While we were there, it was totally gentrified. The warehouses were torn down and replaced with faux warehouses with super expensive condos.
I can say that the area is now far more dangerous than when it was a seedy part of downtown back in the day.
Yep. I lived at 1st and 4th back in the late ’80s (right next to the old Creamette factory. Hookers, dealers, bums and cops all the time.
Positively pastoral compared to today.
My sister lived over near the Laugh Factory back then. The rent was as cheap as she could find.
I don’t get it. Why is it so dangerous then? I’ve never heard of a gentrified neighborhood getting more dangerous. Unless it’s just part of the overall lefty pro-crime policies.
The cancer has spread. Like a lot of cities, the violence was pretty well contained in a few neighborhoods. Since the martyrdom of St. George, it’s all over.
Add in the lack of cops and amazingly inept leadership, and voila, dead city.
But you better not leave, you racist. This is good crime, not bad crime.
It is the whole Defund the Police and George Floyd shit show.
Cops quit and the ones left no longer arrest anyone. Even if you do get arrested you get bailed out quickly.
The miscreants have learned that there is no downside to street racing, car jacking or any other number of felonies.
The Warehouse District is gentrified, but still surrounded by shitty neighborhoods. Little Somalia is a half mile away. Looking at those kids, it seems like a lot of our new immigrants have decided to bring the fun of civil war here to Minnesoda.
Political leadership has no appetite to crack down. If some cop had rolled up on those kids and used a night stick to tune a few of them up, the mayor and city council members would have trampled each other to get in front of a camera to defend the firework assholes.
That’s my read, will without the local knowledge of the area. Why rush your career arresting someone who will be bailed out (or not charged) all while risking your career?
It gets even better.
1300 calls on Monday night. 80 cops.
Fuck you Frey. Fuck you Ellison.
Fuck you Frey.
That’s harsh.

Frey reminds me of Anthony Perkins’ character in “The Tin Star”.
If someone whipped out a pistol and ventilated those douchebags Iâd shed no tears.
A pistol against an assault roman candle?
I have to say I’m impressed with the rapid-fire roman candles. Never used one of them.
Would make “shooting roman candles at the yard chickens” even more fun than usual.
A pistol against an assault roman candle?
Only if my shotgun wasn’t handy.
Despite the potential support for some gun-control measures among gun owners, when you dig deeper there is a clear distrust of government, especially among Republicans, who make up the plurality of gun owners in the survey.
Just a quarter of gun owners overall said they have trust in the federal government to look out for their best interests. (An even lower 16% said so of the news media.)
They claimed, without evidence.
Who are these crazy 25%?
^
25% of people in every survey are either stupid or crazy. H/T Scott Adams
Law enforcement or otherwise government-employed?
Just a quarter of gun owners overall said they have trust in the federal government to look out for their best interests.
I trust the government to look out for the interests of those who control the government.
See, they’re wreckers. That’s the point of this.
Costo hot dogs? The brats are where it’s at. Good to hear those didn’t go up in price either.
Interesting day in hockey yesterday. The Blackhawks went into the day with 0 first round picks, but traded two of their best young players and got 3 first round picks. It seems the rebuild is on. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Wild signed Flower to an additional two years. Not sure about that.
Trading away your best young players seems like an odd rebuilding strategy.
Been watching the tv news covering Abeâs murder. They have only a few angles which show him getting shot. Every time something gets in the way of the camera so you never see him actually getting hit. Maybe they are showing the gratuitous footage out of respect. I dunno, but the whole timing of when he gets shot and then him on the ground seems off. No idea what thatâs implying, but it seems unnatural. Itâs Japan, so there must be footage out there, but I canât find it. And yes, by politician standards, the guy was an angel.
I admittedly know very little about Japan, but I thought there was a general consensus that abenomics fucked the country over. Idk. Thoughts?
The average person doesnât blame him. I would, but, you know.
Yeah, his internal policies maybe weren’t the greatest, but I don’t care cause I don’t live there. His foreign policy was good.
Thatâs one of the main reasons I live here. Yeah, I know, theyâre under the US nuclear umbrella. Regardless, they arenât sending their boys abroad to spread demahcracy.
And Iâve come across dozens of these street rallies. Abeâs wouldâve been filled with people filming it.
Any idea what kind of bullet/shotgun shell was used?
I’d imagine getting ammo in JP is near impossible.
He was former SDF. Made himself?
The gun was home made- yes. I haven’t seen video – did it look smokey or like homemade black powder?
That would really be interesting if he was assassinated with a zip musket pistol…
Big puff of smoke accompanied the blast.
Damn. If only Japan had some strict firearm regulations. Also, laws against murder.
Back when Japan had common sense gun laws
Maritime SDF. So the IJN can claim two now?

Chinaâs first large-scale attempt to require Covid vaccinations appears to have ended before it began.
On Wednesday, the capital city of Beijing announced that starting Monday, most people would need to be vaccinated before entering social gathering spots like gyms.
On Thursday, the city removed mention of the mandate, according to the state-run local newspaper, Beijing Daily.
The report cited a member of the cityâs virus prevention and control office, who emphasized current rules â a negative virus test from within the last 72 hours â for entering public venues. But the report did not mention the vaccination requirement, only saying the government representative encouraged people to get vaccinated voluntarily.
When contacted by CNBC, a representative for the Beijing city government confirmed the Beijing Daily report. The capital city reported zero new Covid cases for Thursday, with or without symptoms.
The state-run newspaper said it contacted the government office after the vaccination mandate generated âattention and misgivingsâ among city residents, according to a CNBC translation of the Chinese text.
Breaking point, dead ahead.
TFW China is less authoritarian than your government.
Cuck.
“I was horrified to find my wife performing a sex act on our neighbour. To add insult to injury, she was giving him oral, and she has never done that for me in the ten years weâve been married â she told me she found the idea disgusting.”
https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/19116566/caught-wife-having-sex-with-our-neighbour/
Um
Yeah, this advice is because they want this guy to end up watching other dudes plow this woman he keeps paying for…
Sounds like her boyfriend is generally happy with your wife too.
What the hell advice is this?
Right?!?
Two options in this situation.
1) bail
2) if you’re going to try to patch it up, set some really strong boundaries and enforce them ruthlessly. If she’s not willing to abide, bail.
It is exceedingly rare that people having an affair will stop having affairs. Most of the ones I’ve heard of where it stopped were because they blew up everything about their life and rebuilt it from scratch. It was a”come to Jesus” moment for them. “I’m gonna stop” isn’t ever enough.
The wife’s comment was that she was sorry he’d seen it. No way in hell she’s ever going to stop. Throw her ass to the curb.
Yep, that would be an instant eviction.
“Go visit your parents for a while. You had better make any travel arrangements in the next hour, because that’s when your access to the credit cards and the bank accounts will be cut. I’ll be sending the divorce documents to your parents’ house on Monday. I will preserve your honor in this first round so long as you sign on the dotted line and don’t ask any questions. If you do, the second round will be much more uncomfortable for you.”
What the idiot columnist completely ignored is that a hidden affair is a de facto admission that the marriage wasn’t generally happy. People generally don’t hook up with the neighbor when their marriage is going really well.
She doesn’t like oral sex as defined by her putting her mouth on your penis.
She likes sucking cock. Big cock.
Bet if the cuck had a big one she’d be giving him hummers.
Was she paying off a service?
I would have filmed it, then taken the bitch to court. This can only end one of two ways based on the historical records in the pr0n movies…
Either you divorce her with extreme prejudice and try to rebuild your life by hate fucking, or you end up being forced by her to watch other men get what she will not give you while not being even allowed to pull your pud…
Meh. I’m not sure it’s right to call him a cuck at this point. If he doesn’t throw her to the curb, if he takes Diedre’s advice, then he’s a cuck. Because, when the guy can say, “My wife said she was sorry Iâd seen that,” you know there isn’t going to be any change in behavior.
Well, if the feds won’t do it…
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state National Guard soldiers and law enforcement officers Thursday to apprehend and return migrants suspected of crossing illegally back to the U.S.-Mexico border, testing how far his state can go in trying to enforce immigration law â a federal responsibility.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/can-americas-all-volunteer-military-survive-a-dearth-of-volunteers
Ultimately this is a good thing. The military should be a lot smaller than it is. Unfortunately, the reasons for its retreat from readiness aren’t good ones.
The reason for Abe’s assassination.
That makes sense…
Honestly, there is something very hinky about the whole story.
Saw this in the replies. Makes sense.
From the Minneapolis links above, it seems to me that the only way out of the death spiral Minneapolis is in is to crack way down.
You will have to let the police off the leash and let them start arresting gobs of people and then putting those people in prison. Even for shit that normally you would settle for probation for. Minneapolis needs a lot of examples of people who got fucked over royally for engaging in mayhem to serve as examples.
With half the crazies in Minneapolis still thinking that no police is the way to go, I don’t see that happen.
It will get worse before it gets better.
I don’t see any path forward where you can get back to normal without going through some extreme law and order phase. Similar to NYC having to put up with Stop and Frisk and other civil liberty violations from the cops.
I lived in a high crime neighborhood in Denver. Itâs the absolute worst.
My wife and I lived in a high crime neighborhood when we first started living together. We were the only ones in our apartment building not burgled. I was also the only white dude.
I don’t think it was white privilege that protected me. I did wonder which of my neighbors liked me enough to spare us.
*most likely reason we weren’t burgled was because we had nothing worth stealing back then.

I agree with you, but we still have the Minnesota Freedom Fund (or whatever the fuck it’s called) bailing felons out like crazy.
It’s definitely not a good time to be down there. My nephew and his girlfriend took a beating on their condo and moved to Florida.
I think that’s a pretty common story. Lots of giant companies leaving their buildings empty. Fucking sad to watch.
If I wanted to ruin my life, the epic troll of the century would be to buy a billboard downtown and put a pic of Derek Chauvin on it with the caption “Miss me now?”
You would be made to pay for reminding the not totally insane how insane what they got now is…
Yet there is a ton of new building in downtown Minneapolis. Its baffling.
That would come dangerously close to admitting that multiculturalism is a failure and unworkable stupid idea. Doubt it will ever happen.
Look, Your Holiness, don’t you understand that the mayhem is a legitimate form of protest? All the people are saying is that they want the police out of the picture. Once that goal is attained, all the mayhem will stop.
There will be an end to the horror when you capitulate. We pinky-swear.
Right now, totally understandably, you want to walk away from your marriage.
But it sounds like until this incident, you were generally happy with your wife.
Once the shock wears off, itâs possible you will want to attempt to put this behind you and try again.
Beg her for forgiveness for your pettyminded jealousy. Cook dinner for her and her new boyfriend. Offer to hold the camera. Maybe you’ll get a nice creampie as a reward.
Yeah, this comes across to me as some of the worse advice I’ve seen, even from The Sun.
Lie back and think of social justice
Customers and co-workers of the Manhattan bodega clerk facing murder charges after he fatally stabbed a violent ex-con who attacked him in his store stuck by him Thursday, calling him âa good man.â
âThat poor man does not deserve this,â Christopher C., who works at a nearby store in Hamilton Heights, said of 61-year-old bodega worker Jose Alba.
âIt was self-defense and I donât care what anyone says,â he told The Post. âThe cops need to do a deeper investigation because itâs not fair to him and his family. What if he was the one that lost his life?â
Patricia Perez, a regular customer at the Broadway bodega, said Alba kept the peace at the store, including during the occasionally unruly night shift there.
âThereâs actually been ridiculous things happen,â Perez said outside the grocery store. âIâm just really sad heâs going through this. Heâs just defending himself.â
Alba, a father of three from the Dominican Republic, was behind the counter shortly after 11 pm Friday when 35-year-old Austin Simon, an ex-con who was still on parole for assaulting a police officer, stormed behind the counter and accosted him.
Vigilantism cannot be tolerated. You can’t take the law into your own hands. Call 911 and wait to be helped.
War on self-defense. IIRC, the Bolsheviks were pretty good at it.
Bernie Goetz get curb stomped nearly forty years ago by NYC and people are still shocked?
You’d think the cops would have given him a medal, not handcuffs.
Vigilantism cannot be tolerated.
Defending yourself is now being a vigilante?
At least popular outrage has helped him be freed from Rikers, if I heard correctly.
The sinking of the SS Arctic in 1854:

Interesting stuff, apparently some of the crew realized they were done for and they got drunk and had their way with the female passengers. Iâd never heard of this one. Interesting story.
Hey, weâre about to die. Letâs guarantee weâre going to hell.
There were allegedly murder, rape, and cannibalism among the survivors of the USS Indianapolis’ sinking.
According to NHK, Putin, Xi and Trump had offered condolences while the US had Blinken tell Japan, âWell, that sucksâ. Joe was sleeping, I guess.

I really wish theyâd let him run his own account.
That would be glorious.

Are you really going to wake up the president to tell him the former PM has been shot?
Whenever some emeritus state leader dies, current state leaders are expected to make the appropriate condolances. It’s simply diplomatic protocol.
And the US did so via the State Department.
You are saying you need to wake up the POTUS to get a money quote?
The statement only need have his name on it. Under normal conditions that’s a straightforward prospect.
The official presidental statement that came out is trying to exploit the incident for domestic policy pushing.
Not enough lampposts.
“gun violence?” What the actual fuck?
Holy crap, they just cannot control themselves, can they?
It’s institutional narcissism.
Authoritarian Tourette’s.
Translation: Oooh, look! We have a famous body to stand on!
To be fair, the president doesn’t need to be woken up to release a statement on such an issue. Appropriate, politically neutral, condolances can be written by any competent staffer.
Problem is, the administration’s areas of interest do not intersect with decorum or politically neutral relations.
Sorry we posted at the same time. I agree here.
Highly qualified? Who cares?
The NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders have hired the first Black female team president in the league’s history.
Sandra Douglass Morgan, a Las Vegas native, is not new to firsts. She was the first Black city attorney in Nevada, when she served for the City of North Las Vegas, and she was the first person of color named chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the team said Thursday.
She is also an independent director at Allegiant Airlines, Caesars Entertainment and Fidelity National Financial Inc.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to join the Raiders at one of the most defining times in the team’s history,” Morgan said. “This team’s arrival in Las Vegas has created a new energy and opportunities we never dreamed possible. I look forward to taking this team’s integrity, spirit and commitment to excellence on the field into every facet of this organization.”
The important thing is, she’s black. And a woman, whatever that means.
Its working out well for the White House communications team, so why not?
From âJust Win Baby, Winâ to participation trophy in the blink of an eye.
Not sure you should point out that she “…is also an independent director at Allegiant Airlines” Aren’t they on the selling block?
Sandra Douglass Morgan, a Las Vegas native, is not new to firsts.
A firster, eh? Does the Bro know?
haha! I saw that and thought the same thing…
Define “woman.”
For that matter is she really black black or just identifying as black? Does she have the right politics to be authentically black?
Sloopyinca said, âWe need to bring back mental institutions.â
Itâs among my least libertarian opinions, but I would have to strongly agree with this. The open air asylum model that we have currently had for the last several decades is very obviously not working. Funny enough, that model is the finest example of the wonders of bipartisanism that I can think of. Asylums should take the place of jail for the population of drugged out zombies and mental cases screaming at themselves or dancing in traffic that I constantly encounter.
Do you all think that the State Run Mental Hospitals would have been closed as quickly if One Flew Over the Cucko’s Nest didn’t become a hit? We have several former nut houses around me, they have been converted to privately run mental institutions or actual prisons.

Thanks for the link TL, I put it in my âto readâ for the weekend. I absolutely think One Flew helped move the public in that direction. Also Szasz and Foucault certainly played their parts by pushing their theories in the social sciences and getting them fairly widely accepted by academia. Itâs funny how many people I talk to about this who are content to lay this all at the feet of Ronnie Reagan. The left really got that myth into the public consciousness (at least here) . When I mention to them the role of the ACLU in getting the institutions closed I invariably get a blank look.

Outwardly, U.S. officials are playing it cool even as the resignation has rattled the U.K. If the clamor surrounding Johnsonâs myriad scandals fades and a more solid prime minister emerges, that could work to Washingtonâs benefit.
âJohnson has lurched from one political crisis to the next,â pointed out Charles Kupchan, a former senior U.S. official who dealt with European issues. âWashington could use a steadier hand in London to help guide the transatlantic community amid Russiaâs ongoing aggression against Ukraine, building competition with China, and high levels of inflation and economic dislocation.â
——-
Even if the U.S. were to have been more nosy about Britainâs internal political chaos, Johnson was unlikely to find much comfort from Biden.
The two men in the past had differences over both style and substance, and some of the damage was done long before Biden was president.
The Oxford-educated Brit once questioned whether former President Barack Obama, Bidenâs one-time boss, was inclined to dislike Britainâs imperial past because of his part-Kenyan heritage. He also likened former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a âsadistic nurse in a mental hospital.â
And, of course, Johnson had cozied up to Trump, who supported his campaign to pull Britain out of the European Union. In fact, Biden described Johnson as âkind of a physical and emotional cloneâ of Trump, whose erratic and scandal-plagued term in the White House also did not unravel U.S.-U.K. ties.
The idea of Brexit was never popular in Biden circles, and the fallout from that break-up has led to lingering tension between Biden and Johnson over the impact on Northern Ireland and the Good Friday agreement that has kept the peace there. Post-Brexit Britain also has failed to convince the Biden team to grant it a bilateral trade deal, a deep frustration for a government in London that in some ways needs the U.S. more than ever now that it has left the EU.
Boris’ true sin.
Maybe that nice London mayor could be PM. He seems like a sensible chap.

Britainâs Conservatives are overall more moderate than Americaâs Republican Party, including on topics such as climate change or abortion. In booting Johnson, the Conservative Party also showed it had less tolerance for leadership scandals than Republicans, who have largely stood by Trump despite two impeachments and other strife.
Those Brits- so posh and civilized. Not like the hick savages those flyover states inflict on us.
Republicans, who have largely stood by Trump despite two impeachments and other strife
We’ll just conveniently overlook the Republican Congress that torpedoed his agenda and, at a minimum, sat idly by while the Deep State committed sedition.
