You guys don't understand the culture down here. I watched the NN police commissioner on local news. He seems like a good guy. The news person put the microphone in front of him and he gave her all the facts. He didn't have a podium surrounded by politicians. This was maybe an hour or 2 after the incident. He didn't wait hours or days to give the story, he just gave it. He told the whole story, except of course for names. Of the students he said "They are safe. They are interacting with officers and having some fun, slapping some high fives and teasing each other," An unusual approach for a commissioner.

Bret Baier always looks like a high school jock who's been entered into a spelling bee by his friends as a joke, and is trying to look convincing in his surprising new role.

Eh. Flag football. Girl, on girls' event. Probably a preexisting condition. Not an aberration. Sad, yes, but not the same thing.

A bit of classy jazz FIFYNNTTM

As I said in another forum thread, I think there is a "oversize" perception of the influence of Twitter vs. the reality. Kind of like that graph that I believe @Copper posted about perception vs. reality.

@LuFins-Dad said in Car Wash Pro: Seems staged to me. I agree. Why would someone just happen to start video that before it happened. LOL But it was somewhat funny.

Corny.

We don't have a guy like Charles III who would make a benevolent dictator. Well, maybe Elon or Tucker.

That depends on whether she provides access to the big guy

Can you imagine being on a Flower-class corvette during the Battle of the Atlantic? [image: R.cba674911ffc701e8efe28d78e4a4a9e?rik=o2Sk24pTHYn4OQ&riu=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.iwm.org.uk%2fciim5%2f444%2f716%2flarge_000000.jpg&ehk=kIqFuBS3QP7ZqORrxYsXaDTfC11WmKRMKUIdtuhjSv0%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0]

Maybe it was a lethal injection. No need to see the larynx.

The funny thing about the article is that the fake people weren't masquerading as medical doctors at all.
