Id like to kick the ass of whoever set up the spellchecker on this forum. And dont even try to tell me it doesnt have one because this is the only place ive ever typed stuff into and watched as it replaced correctly spelled words with a completely different word. I have to go back 2 or 3 times to fix things in every single post i make thats longer than 2 sentences.
Now... where's my sammich!?!?!?

A small price to pay to not have the fucking obscenity filter, though.

I reckon it was Klaus. What you're describing is basically the German language.

Good post, Larry. You gave a great assessment.
That's why I come here. I don't agree with everyone, which is why everyone comes here. Great place to hear different perspectives, and occasionally to discuss those perspectives.
The fights go nowhere, ever.If the fights help a single person lose a single pound of body fat, they are all worth it.

I think that borrowed from the Merchant of Venice - the pound of flesh idea was pinched

Does "fat" qualify as "flesh?"
Asking for a friend...

It's marbled rather than chiseled.

Random observations:
Many of the jack-booted thugs are probably ICE folks that aren’t used to dealing with citizens with video cameras.
This was a strategic error for DHS. They’ll never get the Trump stink off of themselves and they’ll pay for it when the Dems control government again.
Trump poured gasoline on a dwindling flame. Too stupid to realize that? Or is that an electoral strategy?

Good, dismantle it. Wasn't it formed in the flurry of histrionic over-reactions to 9/11?
Education is extremely important.

In other words they are calling for a massive govt re-org. This is electioneering. Under Biden there will be a multi year study on what to do.

Remember when the ACLU was supposedly apolitical?

It’s aim is to keep the protests going. Give a nice simple mantra. Of course only Trump can incite riot.

PORTLAND, OR—In a press release earlier this week, Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name), appearing somber and exhausted, said she just wishes there were some kind of group with the firepower and authority to fight back against Antifa.
In a candid moment, Outlaw (seriously, her actual name) said there was just nothing the police could do, as they'd need to have some kind of organized, armed force specifically created to protect and serve the people.
"Like, what if we took money from everyone to fund a force that could then defend them in a time of need?" she pondered aloud. "They could have patrol cars, firearms, and attack dogs. Maybe even some tanks. That would be so frickin' rad. They could have a badge to show their authority. Then, when a rogue group like Antifa shows up to take over our city every weekend, they could be repelled using force if necessary."
"I know it sounds crazy, but a girl can dream, right?" she added wistfully.
Sadly, there is no such force in Portland, so citizens have been forced to turn to an even crazier idea: taking responsibility for their own safety and well-being, and maybe even buying a gun to protect themselves.

The goal was good, to coordinate reponses and efforts between law enforcement, CIA and FBI. The reality I do not believe has ever quite lived up to the intent.
