@Mik said in Don Lemon arrested: @Axtremus said in Don Lemon arrested: @Mik said in Don Lemon arrested: A desperate attempt to regain relevance. The Justice Department tried to get a grand jury to indict Lemon, the grand jury refused. The Justice Department tried to get a magistrate judge to issue an arrest warrant for Lemon, the magistrate judge refused. The Justice Department arrested Lemon anyway. Desperate indeed. Apparently you do not think the right of worshippers to do so in peace is important. This does not surprise me. I have not looked into this at all and have no opinion about it but I think the question in Lemon’s case is whether he was a protestor or press covering the protestors. The same grand jury and magistrate that refused to indict him had no problem indicting protestors without any press status.

@jodi said in Trauma at Big Bear Lake: One of the things they are saying is that the birds may have known the eggs were unviable, and that’s why they left them alone. Not sure is that is accurate, but it’s possible. She's back on the remaining egg now, but who knows?

Seems a little early to write that article. It’s been all over the map. Is anyone really sure gold won’t hit 5500 again this year? Or in February?

@Mik said in In other news…: I have no issue with someone who wants to do this and has been psychologically vetted. I do have a problem with it becoming a cottage industry with no vetting, just the whims of maladjusted youth milked for profit. If this stops it so much the better. That’s where I used to be, but not as much, anymore.

Man, getting old sucks, getting sick sucks.

I’m hoping they overreach and try to take over some of the properties that are off the market due to their idiotic policies. Then maybe scotus can find rent control itself to be a taking under the fifth amendment.

Large projects are a lot easier when you have slave labor. Still, it's good to see the Saudis planning for economic viability post-petroleum. Unless there's a huge expansion in the need for sand it's their only natural resource.

I blame the lesbians. God fucking hates ‘em. You’d think he’d have more important stuff to think about, but no. It’s lesbians all day long. That’s why he watches all those movies presumably.

@kluurs said in Hey guys - something to add to your workout: I possess and am the subject of some of the worst looking running photos of ALL time. I have friends who look great. One woman friend had a picture of her taken in the late stages of a marathon with her smiling and looking like she should be on the cover of Vogue. I look like a before picture to be included in Morticians Monthly Magazine. I have seen these pictures, you have a talent at getting the photographer to hit the shutter button as you hit the pavement and your face makes the most gravitational pose EVAH. Still, you're running, so you're 10/10 awesome in my book.

She'll probably win. The left doesn't like her as much as you'd think since she's a bit wishy-washy-Washington. I do remember seeing her on a flight once, and she didn't seem that wishy washy. Anyway... as long as the pillow cocaine con man doesn't get close to that office, I'm fine.

Oh yeah you can find film of McCauliff's parents watching, it's an uncut 5-10 minutes or so. Of course they were being filmed for their positive reaction not expecting to capture their realization of what they just saw. Mind boggling. One of the engineers who had been warning against the launch just recently died, apparently he was filled with guilt but according to his widow he recently found peace as many people wrote him to tell him it wasn't his fault. Of course Artmeis II is being pushed back a few days already for delayed testing... mainly because that area of Florida is going to see sub-freezing temps here soon.... which was the main cause of the above explosion. Now the launch I think is NET (no earlier than) Feb 12 instead of Feb 6...

Hard to beat 1983. Heck, Kelly took his team to FOUR straight superbowls. Don't ask him how many they won.

Certainly lack of training. Pretti had a gun in the back of his waistband. At no point did he reach for it, he had his cell phone, an empty hand, and eventually both hands on the ground. At that point the back of his shirt is up enough that an officer sees the gun and yells GUN. Which is fine. An officer takes the gun away (not sure if folks also notice an extra magazine also flies onto the ground, too), and the officer behind Pretti switches from his pepper spray can to his firearm and as he moves it forward it discharges. I believe it was accidental due to being a complete n00b (lack of training), at which point the other officers also fire (don't blame them on that). I also believe the first officer that fires continues to fire so as to try and underscore the legitimacy of the first shot. I'm pretty much an expert video analyst who is extremely humble and never wrong, and this is what I saw about 4 hours after the shooting, and I haven't seen anything to contradict it since. To summarize: Yes, Pretti raised the risk level by legally having a firearm holstered behind his back Yes, he was protesting in the street and was told to get to the sidewalk Yes, ICE officers used excessive force to get him and the lady onto the snow bank An officer correctly yelled GUN when he saw it An officer correctly disarmed him about 1-2 seconds before the n00b officer switches to his gun and discharges it like the n00b he is The other officers correctly fire after hearing "GUN" and a shot Pretti's parents better sue the living shit out of DHS for this wrongful death And yes, the first 2 civilians killed by ICE were PRETTI GOOD [image: 1769829092948-b877c95b-7772-448b-81ef-2d0f64660277-image.png]

Well this makes sense. He doesn’t want to lower prices, he wants them nice and high. Good policy choice then. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2016994260327842125?s=46
