What's a private citizen supposed to do, when confronted by a roided-out raging ------- with a badge and a gun, anyway?

If you're White, likely the monster will present as Officer Friendly, unless you present as a hillbilly meth-head; then you're beaten and stuffed into the back seat of the monster's squad car. If you're Black, you're beaten and stuffed into the back of the squad car, or shot to death and left for somebody else to harvest,

My missus and I went out to the end of Key West, saw Steinbeck's former home ten or twelve years ago, and called it a day, so I was planning on never going to Florida again, and now my attitude has been re-enforced by the Governor of that doomed state.

Apologies if "the special website" link is already posted upthread, but could you please share a link so I can check on my ballot?

Wherever you live, the web address is similar.

USPS got my ballot delivered to me because that's how I voted in the last election. My wife and I filled out and witnessed each other's ballots. Then we walked together two short blocks and across a large parking lot to the front of City Hall. There we dropped our ballots into the City Clerk's drop box on the front of the building. We've been voting this way for a very long time. The special website says our votes have been received.

And it's not a sock puppet when you use different iterations of the same name for 17 years.

Sounds like OCD to me.

I'd say get help, but you don't think anything's wrong.

Snoofy,

I admit it, I have several online identities, usually only one for a given URL.

I agree the Nazis were bad people, and the Eastern Bloc Communists were also bad people. The DDR was a Communist satellite of Mother Russia. Conflating Communists with Socialists is a common ploy of the conservatives. Selective knowledge of World History is stupid, and causes weak thinking. I don't feel sorry for Mao, and agree he/she needs counseling.

Senor Wences

I hope to keep driving my 2000 Ford SES Taurus until the doors fall off. The after-market stereo with USB works, the A/C works, and the car is pretty much mechanically okay. Statistically, I'll likely be dead before this mandate kicks in, so there's that.

Senator Mitt "Mittens" Romney talks tough, but he can be relied on for tRump's necessary daily tongue baths. Somebody ought to ask him which of tRump's axx cheeks is his favorite. Maybe there's a daily raffle for the honor of kissing Dear Leader's taint. I try not to judge others, but here we are.

Borrow money to buy parts and labor for a project. First stiff the suppliers, then stiff the subcontractors, then stiff the major contractor, and finally stiff the people who loaned him the money for the project. This has been tRump's modus operandi for all of his career.

#18, JFGI...sorry about that.

The endgame of COVID-19 has several possibilities:

1. Everybody dies.
2. A vaccine that works is discovered.
3. The virus mutates, and we have to start over on the vaccine.
4. We're all fxxked in the dark, everybody dies, and cockroaches assume their rightful place as Earth's rulers.

My ancient PC, with it's 32GB of RAM and a 4-core i7 CPU, is volunteering operating cycles to World Community Grid for research in horrible diseases around the Earth. JFGUI, and join me.

It might seem the CDC folks cannot find their axxes with both hands; but the likely truth is interference from the Trump henchpeople, desperately striving to make their Dear Leader look like a genius.

First Afghanistan beat the British, then the Russians, and now the United States. You're doing a heck of a job here, tRump!

Twenty years of wasted lives and an exploding giant Defense Department...for what?

Oops...turns out it was George Harrison.

Talk about yourself Snoofy. You arent interested in any dabate of any kind.

Has your mother cooked dinner for you yet?

BOAZ, I have been hammerbanned on other political discussion urls for writing less inflammatory prose than your screeds. Good luck, and bless your heart.

Spanish speaking Floridians born in Cuba are a dying breed; but they own South Florida.

When you attach an oversized outboard motor that is heavy enough to lower the transom close to the water, it is not an Xmas Miracle that the boat would be swamped. Idiots with NO seamanship skills did not help the situation. There is a reason you're supposed to slow down when passing close by another boat.

Where's the shared rightwing crybaby account to stick up for this insufferable douche?

Those Nazi cultists?

They're all getting MAGA tattoos.

#20 | Posted by ClownShack at 2020-09-07 02:21 PM

Oddly, while they can throw away all their MAGA materials, those tattoos will make them wear long sleeves and long pants forever, like Roger Stone and his Nixon tattoo.

As a member of the "sucker class," I was Honorably Discharged as a USAF SSG (43151E) 1967-1970 SEA Early-Out
FXXK tRump and the escalator he rode in on!

It's likely, if they're charged it will be negligent manslaughter. Those cops probably didn't mean to kill that sick man, but they did. The sentencing part of their trial will be hard for everybody. How do you adequately punish people for being inept, but not being malicious? Personally, I would have called the fire department.

As people become unemployed their disposable income will end. Many of the dying businesses rely on people's disposable income for their existence. Think about small independent bakeries, wedding planners, independent computer stores, etc., etc. As those businesses die, a sad chain reaction begins. Employees of the no-longer-functioning small businesses will stop their disposable income purchases, as well. You do not have to be a Nobel Economist to figure out what's going to happen.

The Candycorn Skidmark and his henchpeople will kill us all if we gave them another chance! Register, and then VOTE BLUE!

When you're talking with a Republican, and you only become aware of this after a few exchanges; it's perfectly fine to be as rude you need to make him/her STFU! Failing in this, just walk away.

I'd prefer he had an epiphany or a revelation or a visit from the ghosts of the past, present and future.

But would probably be written off as a bit of undigested gristle

Those hamberders tRump scarfs have lots of tasty, tasty gristle!

Trump would likely draw 100,000 to 200,000 supporters.

Just like he did in Tulsa.

I ALWAYS order two tickets to tRump events, for myself and my wife, and then NEVER use them. We were two of the thousands of no-shows in Tulsa. We'll be no-shows at EVERY tRump event! I have NO money to help Democrats, but I will try to do anything I can to help prevent tRump's re-election. The thought of that outcome terrifies me, and it ought to terrify YOU, too!
