Officials urged residents to avoid anti-Trump protests while they hunt for the gunman

FUCK THAT NOISE

THE PEOPLE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER IN PUBLIC

F U C K

who doesn’t open the door to a cop at 2AM or 3:30AM… especially when you are a public official

the plains of Wyoming

thats where Yellowstone National Park is, and people do flock to that. But I get what you are saying

being a kid and discovering your friends parents grow closet…

one of my favorite “omg it just occurred to me” memories is being a young boy and my mom had friends that lived 20 minutes outside of town in a little hippy village. Their house was one of those super old houses that had a wash room but didnt actually have a toilet in the house, because it was so old and those hippies didn’t want to update it (this is probably the late 1970s or maybe very early 1980s). So you had to go to the outhouse out back if you needed to do that type of business. So I remember one day before breakfast, going to the outhouse and coming back thinking that there was a skunk somewhere because oh boy did it smell!

so I come in and announce to everyone in the kitchen that I think there is a skunk out back. They all had a good laugh at me. Years later my sister was telling me that “oh yeah those friends of mom’s, they smoked a lot of weed. They even had huge bushes growing out in their back yard near the outhouse”

I still remember the way they all laughed, and it took me some time but I had a good laugh about that too

here ya go

President Trump bristled on Thursday at the mention of a series of “No Kings” protests against his administration scheduled for the day of his planned military parade in Washington — coinciding with his 79th birthday.

“I don’t feel like a king, I have to go through hell to get stuff approved,” Mr. Trump said to laughter from an audience of Republican lawmakers and political allies in the White House, arguing in essence that the opposition he faces from Democrats proves that he is not able to rule like a king.

He continued, “A king would say ‘I’m not going to get this.’ A king wouldn’t even have the California mandate to even be talking,” referring to the joint resolutions of Congress that he had just signed blocking California’s effort to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles.

“No, no. We’re not a king,” Mr. Trump said. “We’re not a king at all, thank you very much.”

In February, Mr. Trump likened himself to a king in another fight with Democrats in a blue state. As Mr. Trump sought to end congestion pricing for vehicles in New York City, the president declared on social media “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”

The official White House account on X, the social media website, amplified the message with an illustration of Mr. Trump wearing a crown. A federal judge later blocked Mr. Trump from attempting to end congestion pricing while the courts weighed in — demonstrating one of the constitutional checks to presidential power.

Mr. Trump’s effort to distance himself from his own suggestions of royal prerogative come as he has plowed forward with a maximalist view of presidential power in his second term, and has at times hosted official White House events that featured royal flourishes and monarchical claims to religious legitimacy.

He has issued sweeping pardons to rioters convicted of violent crimes that occurred during the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in addition to many other pardons of political allies who had been convicted of felonies.

He has also issued more than 150 executive orders, some of which attempted actions that courts ultimately found beyond his power. He has purged the government of officials perceived as his political enemies — and bragged about it to his supporters. He has run roughshod over federal agencies in ways that judges have said exceed his authority and frozen funds that Congress had already appropriated. While taking those actions, Mr. Trump has declared dubious national emergencies to invoke powers rarely sought by his predecessors.

And Mr. Trump has attacked and sought to undermine the counterweights to his own authority in government, actions that critics have particularly focused on when accusing Mr. Trump of pursuing an autocratic or monarchical style of power.

He has relentlessly attacked judges who have ruled against him, sidelined Congress’s role in making decisions about taxes and spending, steamrolled internal limits on the executive branch and used the levers of government to try to force outside centers of power like law firms and universities to submit to his will.

And the military parade scheduled for Saturday is the latest example of Mr. Trump’s desire to flex military might in openly political displays and surround himself in the pageantry of the armed forces. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that any protesters who assembled during the parade would be met with “very big force,” making no distinction between violent confrontations and constitutionally protected peaceful demonstrations.

The organizers of the “No Kings” marches have said that they intentionally had not scheduled demonstrations in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to order to avoid the military parade, instead encouraging demonstrators in the area to join their flagship march in Philadelphia.

I thought the cat wanted to be pet— it did not.

I bet it did want to be petted but its a cat… so those things change pretty quickly and most of the time your gonna be the last to know

I don’t have kids, so I have a few hours a week for the video games. Oblivion remaster is consuming all of that time currently. I fucking love the original and this new one is just so beautiful

in the 90s I worked at a grocery store and one of the baggage clerks was a guy in his 50s with Down’s. He was always polite and kind. He clearly liked the young ladies that worked with us but he was never inappropriate. One day he and I were in the back cleaning up and I looked in his backpack lol dude had a bunch of new porn tapes in there. I was laughing when he noticed I saw it and poor guy was so embarrassed until I told him it’s fine. He then went on to tell me about his 1000+ tape collection!

lol I’ll never forget you Greg. One of a kind!

I have a special place in my heart for people with Down’s. They are always such amazing characters. I hope your uncle continues to have good health, it’s rare for them to get so old and still be healthy

i love the comics but couldn’t stand the show

I watched a few episodes but the reality of the situation was too close to what I have witnessed growing up. Meth is just such a corrosive drug, everyone I knew that tried it was destroyed. I just couldn’t stomach that aspect and can’t watch it.

But from what I gathered is that Walter has a wife and special needs kid He’s terminal and wants to leave them with something for when he’s gone. He’s the chemistry teacher so knows how to do what needs to be done. After the first batch, he didn’t really plan on continuing until the market comes to demand his product. So he makes more and more problems are created and that’s about where I stopped.

He couldn’t leave the country because he thought he only had a short time to live and he had to care for his kid and do something to give his wife a chance when he’s gone

think of how much processing power was required for this interaction…

this is the funniest shit I’ve seen since learning that search engines AI won’t engage with you if you start your search phrase with FUCK

I have had 2 BMW’s, both 3 series. The feel of the road is something very different from all the other cars I have driven.

That is why I asked if this person had ever driven one. Its one thing to judge it because others think its popular, its another thing to experience and have an opinion based on that.

their steering wheels have a special feel to it, rarely have I felt it on other cars. They say you should be able to feel rolling over two stacked coins. IDK about that but the way you can feel the little things in the road while also not feeling the full impact of a pothole or something is really a truth.

I have never spent more then $15k to acquire one, so I am not suggesting you have to spend big bucks to get into the seat of one. But if you have the chance to test drive one, you should take it. You might have a full on different opinion afterwards.

i only watch Secrets of the Universe because Stanley Spadowski’s Clubhouse is on right afterwards!

punching Nazis in the face is a god damn american tradition!

I’d fuckin do it without hesitation.

they were protesting today in Spokane, on Washington St hehe and it’s a really windy day… so there’s a USL soccer match going on and the cops decided to tear gas the protesters but it’s windy and they probably didn’t even gas the protestors because of the wind direction

and a hell of a lot of the gas came into the stadium. so like half the crowd got a good dose and the players kept playing

fuckin crazy

it burned my nose a bit but not enough to get me to leave if they are going to keep playing

Velocity!

ended in a 1-1 and the fuckin mayor called for a 9:30 pm to 5:00am curfew lol

we didn’t even get out of the stadium until 9:15

what a joke, like you think they are going kick everyone out of the restaurants and bars? jfc what a fuckin joke

I stopped watching after season 2, I didn’t even know it lasted more than 4 seasons

have you ever driven a BMW? Not one of the SUVs but like a 3 series?

it’s considered something fancy for a reason, the cars are quality engineering and have a unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive

We are focused on health and lifestyle while trying to eat zero carb bioavailable foods.

LOL what a joke, my ancestors lived on a diet of almost all bison, but they still needed other foods like nuts and berries and grains. They ate pemmican more then they ate fresh meat. The thing is that once they had to transition to domesticated animals like cows and pigs, the general health went downhill fast. All red meat is not the same.

Eating a lot of meat is not good for you, science has proven this time and time again. The only reason my ancestors were able to live on a full diet of bison is because they ate the whole freakin animal and perserved the meat with berries and nuts (pemmican)
