Didn’t the Supreme Court basically say that if the president says it it’s not illegal? Kind of a Catch 22 for anyone involved. Glad I got out!

Except it’s the gate of the military base and there are procedures with dealing with these things. I get it. I don’t think you should just shoot anything, but there is a line. This was the entry to the base, to the bridge that gets you on the base. The bridge itself is sensitive, and obviously the base is. This wasn’t like cops unloading on a dude trying to get away because he’s got warrants out. I just feel like the potential for negative results was much higher.

And these were CG security, if my understanding is correct. This wasn’t Trump’s hit squad, these were the dudes who have been guarding the entry point to the base for as long as the base has been there. It’s literally their job, guard the entry.

I appreciate all your hypotheticals, but this real life situation is someone attempting to force entry onto a US military installation. That’s the real situation, and this is how that sort of behavior is dealt with across the globe.

I’m mad about ICE too, I’m just not sure what they have to do with this situation, other than the protest being nearby. I’m not sure how the base security are helping kidnappers and being Nazis, unless your beef is with the military. Shit, I’ll even say it’s okay to have some beef against the military and how they’ve been used, but the Coast Guard? I can’t think of any reason to hate on the Coast Guard.

Everyone else is wrong, you’re right!

I don’t know why, but I felt like I needed to look it up, and there’s not one single Independence Avenue in NJ. Independence Drive, Court, Road, Lane, but no Avenue.

I know you did it intentionally so as to not dox OP, really respectable shit.

I didn’t know what it was. An upon looking it up, Germans used it going back to the 1700s. It also looks cool so it’s a damn shame the Nazis ruined it, just like they ruined everything.

This is one of those razors, malice and incompetence, that one. Walk in tattoo parlor, they have pictures, you pick one. Know many Marines who did that very thing, though mainly women or eagles or some shit.

It happened to a US military base in a foreign nation, which, for all intents and purposes, is US soil. This truck was backing it’s way onto a US base, refused to comply with orders. It got EOF’d. I appreciate everyone wanting to hate ICE, I think they’re a bunch of bitches, but unless someone’s has some legit proof this is some sort of false flag or anything, this is pretty SOP.

October 23, 1983, two truck bombs killed 307, US/French servicemembers and civilians in Beirut.

Also was Coast Guard who opened fire, not ICE.

Yeah, if someone comes on here speaking olde English, we can chastise them as well. I remember having to read Shakespeare in high school and being like “the fuck is this nonsense.” It’s wonderful in context. This is a message board where we’re trying to convey ideas (generally stupid ideas), so it makes sense to stick to the guidelines.

Damn, anchors aweigh on this conspiracy, let’s do it.

Oh that’s right, America bad, I almost forgot.

US has less homeless per capita than Sweden, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, the UK. And others. You understand the US has 340+ million people right?

Yeah, this seems like inexperienced people for playing via text, and I don’t mean that as a shot at either. Gotta get experience sometime. Definitely worth making a joke about it, but maybe after the fact.

You have an interesting writing style.

Can’t brick my G500 and my Z5500s. Best in class, approaching decades old at this point.

But as with every company, profits over quality. Fuck em.

Yeah, as brazen as they are, I don’t think they’re murdering American citizens for breach of contract. Regardless of what they said, it would be an incredibly hostile act towards the US and would lead to sanctions at best.

My thought about the whole thing was that if someone went there and, in spite of the agreement they signed, teed off on the Saudis and whatever else they were forbidden from discussing, I’d have had respect. Was honestly hoping that’s what Burr was intending to do. I’d have donated to the GoFundMe for them to fight the inevitable lawsuit from the Saudis.

Obviously didn’t happen. We live in a difficult world, and when presented with the choice between fighting (hard) and rolling over (easy), people take the obvious choice. I don’t know if I’m doing it differently.

Are these sets even recorded and able to be viewed somewhere, or were they essentially private? If they’re private, I dunno, I get it.

Yes, streaming, for me, is the gateway to new. I do use Spotify and I’ll say what I’ve said a bajillion times: It has shown me numerous new artists, a good many of which I have given money. It seems like a good deal.

My preferred beef, personally, is from local farms, and so I’m all about the idea about smaller farms. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t buy from factory farms, chicken, beef, and pork, but I try to go local when possible.

Although as I’m writing this, I’m really not sure if local meats and their prices are affected much by the factory farms.

So yeah, I guess all I mean is that I’m totally cool with an America that has fewer factory farms, the operations, from top to bottom, seem to thrive on just terrible conditions, environmentally and all. And I’m also cool with the massively wealthy families who own these farms maybe feeling a squeeze.

Listen dude, if you want to get the uparrows you gotta say how this hurts America, maybe a little #fucktrump, et cetera.

It makes me wonder how much ad spots cost for that night. Cancel the show, cancel all previous ad spots. Put the show back on, resell spots for double.

I know nothing about advertising, I assume the rate is based on time slot, but I just wouldn’t put it past the network somehow profiting off of this.
