#7 Smart planning, DBT2.

Good for you.

#54 Oh, not to worry ("...And best of luck getting a single conviction for any law prohibiting them from donning those masks...")

#178 Ah, yes, you're just too stupid to know what a hyperlink is.

#3 Yep. Same as it ever was.

#48 Thank you for your in-kind contributions to the Democratic Party and its candidates.

No need to spend a single dime pointing out how stupid, illiterate, gullible, and naive you people are...

... when there are people like rightnut bushlover2 afkabl2 shrimpsizedgenitaliahiddenbyataco"Danielle" (28 plonks) who willingly volunteer their efforts proving that objective reality.

#46 Thanks, Effeteposer.

Actually, I don't mind pointing out their (many and varied) flaws.

But, you're right: He probably Spanks to Snuff flicks from Gaza.

The exact same way Nancy "show me your genitalia" Mace admittedly spanks to videos of people being disappeared off the streets of America.

#40 So what?

Are those wearing masks doing so under the color of law?

If not, I ask again:

So what?

Unity? Peace? Not in 2026 if Republicans let Trump continue.

Again, we are less than two weeks into the new year, and what we have seen from a president and a Republican Party ostensibly put in control of the country to lower food prices and improve the lives of hardworking Americans is chaos and death.

At his 2025 inauguration, Trump said: "Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable."

Bandying about like pirates snatching other nations' oil and gunning down Americans in the streets doesn't jibe with stopping wars or nurturing a new spirit of unity. It's all divisiveness, all the time.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 is example No. 1 of the epidemic of cruelty Trump has unleashed. Before we even knew the name of the person who was killed, Trump and his soulless minions had declared that she was a "domestic terrorist" and had justified the agent's actions in the court of public opinion.

Then after we knew the victim was a mother of three, a loving Christian, a person whose last words to the man who killed her were "I'm not mad at you," and after we saw the video that showed the administration was lying about her actions and nothing justified lethal force, the cruelty from Republican leaders kept coming.

The cruelty from Republican leaders kept coming.

Not to mention from the usual suspects here

snip ...

Trump has threatened to launch attacks on Mexico, Colombia and Cuba and enraged our NATO allies by suggesting a hostile takeover of Greenland. He has told The New York Times that international law doesn't matter: "My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

He has done nothing to make your life better.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has continued his anti-vaccine crusade by radically slashing the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule and loosening U.S. dietary guidelines on alcohol consumption, hurling parents and the medical community into chaos.

Certainly, none of that makes anyone's life better.

#28 No one is surprised that you cannot tell the difference.

#18 Well, give the devil his due, Snoofy.

Major DEI Boazo is into women's toes.

Does that count as "strong enough"?

#34 Completely missing the point, as usual.

Snip ...

"BIGGEST CHANGE in MODERN HISTORY," he declared in an X post earlier this year. "AI will cause many 'smart students' to lose their jobs. AI will cause massive unemployment. Many still have student loan debt."

Kiyosaki isn't alone in his take. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic - the AI company behind the large language model Claude - recently warned that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push the unemployment rate as high as 20% (1).

Tech mogul Elon Musk also weighed in on the topic at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in November (2).

Musk suggested that work will become "optional" in the future as AI continues to develop. His more optimistic take includes more time for leisure and, possibly, money becoming less and less important.

Good thread, LampLighter.

Thank you for posting this important article.

"You yourself, just now, asserted that the woman clearly tried to run over the guy, and then you said, at the very least, she was going forward while he was in front," Tapper said.

"I think that does illustrate the fact that this is, at the very least, a widely disputed incident full of ambiguities and interpretations. How can anyone be confident that she was trying to attack the officer instead of trying to flee the scene?"

Mullin then asserted that Good's killing would be equally justified should she have been only attempting to flee, and strongly hinted that she may have been a paid protester.

"Fleeing the scene, it doesn't make any difference!" Mullin insisted. "It's mind-blowing to me why we are defending someone that was acting in this manner when it was clearly that she hit an ICE agent, and in hence, law enforcement that's enforcing our nation's laws ... Those that are paying for professional protestors to obstruct the justice of law enforcement, they need to start being held accountable."

"We don't know that she was being paid," Tapper fired back.

#30 Thanks for this excellent post, Snoofy.

#20 **** ANATOMY OF A LIAR AND A COWARD ****

#18 A spot-on comment, AmericanUnity.

Thank you.
