This one is indefensible, which is why nobody is commenting in here. It's highly unlikely he watched the whole video before reposting it, but that's irrelevant. If you're the president of the United States you better check what you post before you hit send. If I'd posted the same video last night I would've been fired before I made it into work this morning.

I've never liked Trump. People would argue with me when I said that he doesn't care about America, he only cares about Trump. That's becoming more and more obvious. I voted for him because the alternative was so awful, and because I thought he did a decent job his first time in office, even if i felt his reasoning for doing so was self-serving. This time he had an easy setup to do a decent job again and keep the right in control for at least the next 8 years, and he's more worried about himself than making that happen. I haven't researched the Schumer tunnel deal, but either way it's bad. He's either holding money for crucial infrastructure hostage, or he's willing to blow $16B in tax dollars on an unnecessary project in order to try to get things named after him. I'm not sure which is worse. Not to mention he's saying even crazier and more offensive stuff than he did his first time in office, has managed to turn a mandate to fix immigration into something that's somehow helping the dems regain power (despite them acting like unhinged loons), and the economy has not been noticeably better than it was under Biden. 8 years of JD Vance doesn't seem like the foregone conclusion it did a year ago when everyone was absolutely sick of the woke left. Now the needle has swung back to people rallying around hating Trump again.

We put everything on our southwest card, then pay it off every month. On the rare occasion our spending outpaces our income for a month we have plenty in savings and still pay it off for the month. We haven't paid for a flight in years, and we fly a couple of times a year, on average.

you're delusional if you think they aren't. they're encouraging it. and you have a short memory if you're criticizing the right for "celebrating people being attacked and executed."

depends on the qb, as others have stated. they have a couple of early games that they could lose if he struggles to find his rhythm at the varsity level. WOS will be a favorite against them, and if HF can find some linemen they're going to have the skill players to give them a tough game as well.

Thats insane.

schools don't handle criminal assaults. this isn't some fistfight between a couple of kids.

should settle some debates.

It was stacked this year.

my buddy who lives in austin calls it "performative outrage." seems like a pretty perfect term for it.

she also wasn't going through the window at that time. we can go back and forth about what ifs and why nots. still won't change my opinion that it was an easily justified, although decidedly ugly shooting.

that actually could have something to do with why they didn't fire. the officer who fired was able to do so at an angle where he had a wall as a backdrop behind his target. If the officers from behind the mob had fired they would've been sending bullets into the room that the other officers were trying to protect.

that's wild.

goes back to the old "awful but lawful" situation. can an officer who's shot someone verbalize an adequate reason for doing so? This officer had plenty of valid reasons to articulate. you can feel it was an overreaction, heck, everyone can. I don't want you to get the impression that I saw the shooting and cheered it on or something. I didn't like the Babbitt shooting, I've just always felt it was pretty easy to justify. The officer can say "I don't know why the officers on the other side of the door didn't act, but I was inside the chamber with my gun drawn protecting evacuating members of congress behind a barricaded door. an angry mob of more than a dozen people were using unknown weapons/items to break through the door and barricade we'd erected to protect our politicians. Despite several clear, lawful commands, the mob eventually broke through a window and attempted to breach the room, despite seeing several officers with firearms on the other side. With the reports of gunshots and officers being attacked I'd been receiving I felt that both myself and the civilians I was protecting were in immediate danger. I fired one shot and the entire mob stopped attempting to breach the room." You may second guess his explanation, but it was enough to keep charges from being filed, and no officer would be charged in an identical situation anywhere (unless it was strictly political, as we may end up seeing in Minnesota).
