Sorry Joe. My mistake pooping on your thread. I apologize. I forgot that the co-governing party just appointed George Santos to the science committee. MTG's appointments to covid,oversight and Homeland Security committees. I'm positive with these powerful intellects at work. Gun violence and LEO's misconduct will be speedily addressed. At least if they don't go broke first. Police Brutality Bonds "You’re probably familiar with municipal bonds issued for infrastructure. These often tax-free vehicles are part of most people’s investment portfolios. Now there are police brutality bonds – although that’s not their official names. Huge banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America profit from these bonds, along with smaller financial institutions. That’s because cities have become so crippled by the amount of money they must pay in settlements that they are forced to issue these bonds. According to the Action Center on Race & the Economy (“ACRE”), these police brutality bonds can double the cost of a settlement. The group examined five cities – Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Lake County, Indiana – and estimated that these five cities bonded $837.8 million between 2008 and 2017, but paid a whopping $1.03 billion in interest during that time period! That ends up costing taxpayers $1.87 billion for taxpayers."

Disagree. Rodney King beating, after shooting, after beating. No change is anywhere on the horizon. Agree. About as far as gun control in the US. Disagree, LEO unions exist in every other country in the world. Every city. Perhaps its the culture? One awash in guns, where low wages mixes with little training. Where racism, drugs, high incarceration rates add fuel to the equation. Where law and order is sold to a group. Where guns for "self protection" is sold as the answer. Where political parties are "soft on crime" when they suggest alternatives to incarceration. At least with this news cycle. The last mass shooting is off the front page.

The entire problem and possible solution. In a single run on sentence.Unfortunately no solution seems to be anywhere on the horizon. So the carnage goes on and on.

I think you all may be correct. Even heroes can have serious flaws that books, movies, producers and authors Either choose, or fail, to include or choose to dismiss. There may be reasons for such inclusions or omissions. Right or wrong.

Well i guess we have Glocks in common.

Don't forget what really grates upon the intellect of the right in America. Those that worship at the altar of anti=wokism like DeSantis. The possibility of paying reparations for American slavery. They shake in fear that they could become like Canada. $2.8-billion settlement reached in class action lawsuit over residential schools "Suit was filed in 2012 over destruction of language and culture caused by residential school system" Imagine if the US right had to financially address past wrongdoing of natives, minorities? Good thing that they have the USSC in its current makeup. It can keep the boot on the necks of _______.

When you're starved of money equipment, training and leadership will all suffer. Because of Putin's war Japan is also on track to expand its military abilities. It's planning to match Germany defense spending at 2% of GDP within two years. Although Japan sees China as the biggest threat.

According to Russia Behind Bars, a Russian prisoners rights association. Eighty percent of recent prison recruits Have either deserted, been captured, killed or wounded. So only ten thousand remain.

SDP likes to ensure the wind is blowing in the right direction. Now that they have ascertained that the wind sock is working. German media reports government has approved sending Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine Germany appears to be neck and neck with Canada:"The commander of the 10th Tank Division reported to his superiors that during an exercise with 18 Puma infantry fighting vehicles, all 18 of them broke down....There is a lack of munitions and equipment – and arms deliveries to Ukraine have only worsened the situation. "The cupboards are almost bare," said Alfons Mais, inspector general of the German army, at the beginning of the war. André Wüstner, head of the German Bundeswehr Association, seconds him: "We continue to be in free fall."

Thats pretty funny. I doubt he owns that particular pistol pretending to be a rifle. Its more something that a 18 year old from AR-15.com would put together. So he can pretend to be a SEAL if he grows up and moves out of mom's basement.

Is that a gun that you own? Or a picture of one that you found online?

A 67 years old Chinese shooter this time.

Nothing is more egregious, outrageous, shocking, than to imagine movies about dancing slaves.Who are celebrating their slavery. Celebrating the auctions where "wenches" are sold off like Florida condos. The successful winners taking possession of women for their sexual pleasures. Yep, FOX, the GOP defining family values for the new conservative American gun totin child. Disney Didn’t Leave the GOP Behind — Culture Did nothing says more about Florida than MTG and DeSantis. Working with FOX to define new family values.

I recommend the Euro 120 for home shower defense. It's what i use.

Ditto " With those yields, “diesel nut” peanuts could yield as much as 350 gallons of oil per acre," and Chevron is involved in the research.

I pray Brent gives up his secret desire to be a mod. Pray that Brent gets over the idea that everyone is out to get him.

European Parliament declares Russia to be a state sponsor of terrorism 23-11-2022 Russian Agents Suspected of Directing Far-Right Group to Mail Bombs in Spain "American and European officials believe that Russian military intelligence officers directed associates of a white supremacist militant group based in Russia to carry out a recent letter bomb campaign in Spain whose most prominent targets were the prime minister, the defense minister and foreign diplomats, according to U.S. officials." Is it time to quit pussy footing around about Putin and Russia? Don't forget Russia is the main suspect in the bombing of the NATO, EU Say Gas Pipeline Leaks Are 'Sabotage' But Stop Short Of Pointing Finger At Russia Time to treat Russia the same way Hezbollah is treated? The way the IRGC is treated?

Completely agree. The Abrams is a multi-fuel tanks designed to run on "The engine can use a variety of fuels, including jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and marine diesel.[2]" Biden is holding up tanks. There has been reports that the Abrams is too heavy. Its only 2 tons heavier than the Leopard 2. If the Ukrainians can operate the current mish-mash of every EU and NATO countries castoffs. The Abrams shouldn't be that difficult. Right now they have some captured Russian T-80 tanks that also have turbine engines.

All of that is true. BUT the last responsible US government with regards to debt was Clinton: While Obama had the financial crisis to deal with. He didn't tackle the deficit immediately. In addition Biden is now pouring deficit spending into an equation of record low unemployment. Which is causing his own FED to push up intrest rates.

True but lots of blame all around. Right now with full employment right after the covid deficit spending. The smart thing to do would be pay off debt. The German and Swiss governments seem to be the only responsible ones.

He keeps a cocked and locked 1911 behind the roll of TP.

The first casualty of politics is the truth. Without the acknowledgement of facts consensus is difficult or impossible to reach. In some countries tribalism has embedded lies and false ideologies in what they believe. Social economic political policy and the discussion thereof. Is inherently dry IMO. Beyond that the personality of regular posters does come out. John for example strikes me as someone impatient with ignorant time wasters. Who he labels as trolls. Joe frequently interjects a comedic irreverence into the discussion. Comedy intermixed with lies can be used to pander to a base. AKA populism. Hence it is what it is.

I know that everything since the last election has been tough. The GOP disintegrating into a laughing stock, clown show. But nobody is out to get you personally. You can't live in the past.

According to some recent articles in psychology journals. The American male is feeling unjustly persecuted by the concepts of liberal woke thinking. I looked for the PA on Brent and couldn't find it. "A similar share (12%) characterized cancel culture as mean-spirited attacks used to cause others harm:" If Brent apologizes to Wendy. We can put this all behind us.
