    Is he that scared of Eptein information coming out that he’s going to occupy American cities to get the media to forget?

      No, that is the distraction, so you can keep talking about the files while he occupies American cities.

      Wake up.

      Yes, but it can be two things.

      Remember, he’s not only a demented rapist fraud, he’s also a tool of russia.

    Reminder that police who do not identify themselves are not police.

    It is legal to kill in self defense or defense of others if unidentifiable people are trying to abduct people off the street.

    It’s moral to do so even

      It may be legal on paper or by social media lawyers but courts and federal judges will be quick to ignore all that shit. Also I don’t know about you but me pulling out an EDC to defend against a team of highly trained and equipped like they are taking a stroll through Baghdad Red Zone circa 2007 seems like unfavorable odds for me. I like living sometimes.

          If they were trained they’d probably not be constantly afraid of everything and would be able to hit their targets more often than they hit innocent bystanders.

        I’d be less worried about the courts, which might actually look in your favor, and more worried about having to potentially fight multiple armed and body armored assailants. That’s not to say disagree with you though. If you’re well-armed and confident, go for it.

              Means that any person well trained with any weapon can be effective and dangerous.

              Be smart and be patient.

        No one wants to die, everyone needs to make the right decisions for themselves, and for legal reasons I would never advocate for violence.

        However…

        …turned out to be a bit of a surprise for the world’s most powerful military.

    Christ, he called out the statues again.

    He and his racist base are just so butthurt about statues. So he’s going to occupy a city to…1. protect racist statues, 2. go after the homeless, and 3. remove slums.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
