Good to know you’re a medical doctor along with an awesome carpenter. You could synergize the skills and become a surgeon if you need a career post retirement.

As for Harris, it’s pretty amusing how someone so on edge for being called “garbage” acts like…well, if the shoe fits

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Felon: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Felon: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Felon: They gave in!

A pardoned J6er, Matthew W. Huttle, 42, of Hobart, Indiana, was shot and killed in Jasper County during a traffic stop yesterday.

This happened after an "altercation took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect."

Gee, ya think he felt empowered in some way???
It's almost as though he thought he was above the law...
Like, he was unpunishable almost..!

Jan 6ers are cop Killers, they are going to have a hard time with any law enforcement .

Good work Jasper County Police.

Cop must have been a DEI hire.

Trump just fired Jan 6 prosecutors on the grounds they wouldn’t enforce the President’s agenda. Since when is that the job of the DOJ????

Seriously, it won’t be long before Trump starts imprisoning political enemies in the name of law and order.

Sure, FFOTUS broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.

But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for FFOTUS’ corrupt administration.

With my talent and history of success at every challenge I have no doubts. Except my big farmer hands are riddled with arthritis. I have no interest in doing surgery....although amputations sounds like something in my skill set. Did you know surgeons amputate the wrong limb 40 times per week in the US.....#^&#^&#^&#^&ing dumbells.
Im thinking more along the lines of HVAC or plumbing. May I ask about your profession and skills....i mean besides BS artist?

Well, it’s not a lack of humor, it’s just really kind of sick and gross along with being stupid.

As for crying, I think you’re confusing this for genuine shock at the direction our country is heading. To be fair, many didn’t like elements of our direction for decades, I can appreciate that. But this is different, it’s no longer about democrats and republicans but rather about erosion of traditional American values that have allowed the country to flourish.

It’s even more stupid than that

Looks like Biden allowed 424 deportation flights to Colombia with 124 in 2024 alone. These were all on non-military aircraft and cleared by the Colombian government.

Trump by contrast ordered two unannounced military flights in defiance of regular international protocol which were refused. And here’s the kicker, the Colombian nationals being deported were all detained by the Biden administration and scheduled for deportation before Trump even took office!

Columbia is a strategic US national security partner in South America and runs a trade deficit importing over a billion $ in corn alone from US farmers. It’s quite likely Colombia will now look to China as a more reliable trading partner.

So Trump is chest thumping over this mess which hurts national security and the US economy all to show how tough he is with an ally whose entire GDP is a tenth the size of California. To further demonstrate his petty narcissism he posts an AI photo of himself as a gangster to taunt others.

I guess at least we get to watch Dr Phil ride around with ICE in a bizzaro episode of COPS where the MAGA faithful cheer on a made for TV prime time event then blame the liberal media for the skyrocketing price of food, all because Trump told them the sky was green.

Sweet Jesus.

No because it’s not true.

I’d think both HVAC and plumbing aren’t arthritis friendly and require tight crawl spaces with scary bugs, unless you’re planning on running your own business. Personally I’m not a huge plumbing fan these days, they charge an arm and a leg, the Pro Press fittings are ugly and don’t even get me started on PEX.

As for me you had it half right. Trained as an artist but currently am in technology: manufacturing innovation, analytics and AI, enterprise software. Not a day goes by you don’t use something the solutions I represent helped create.

And while I’ve been very successful you can bet I didn’t do it on my own.

[Rmarsh]

I stand corrected its only 20 times per week. But according to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, it happens more than 4,000 times per year, at a rate of 20 times per week.Even a rookie carpenter is taught measure twice cut once.
Surgeons are waay smarter...like you.....and you are scared of bugs? OMG what a pus.

Plumbers solve more problems than a bs artist like you....and deserve the money. Keep crying

The numbers you’re looking at refer to “wrong site surgeries” which include very small errors, actual wrong limb amputations are very rare in the US these days.

Just last summer painting my house on a 32' extension ladder can of paint on a hook and a brush in my hand I enraged the bees and hornets under the rake boards. Smashed some of them with the paint brush the others just snagged and smashed with my free hand. I think I went eleven for twelve with zero stings that morning. OK my lumber just showed up.

You certainly are a mini me Trump. You don’t seem to realize most of this thread is discussion between democrats and in my case independents. It’s what Americans do after a change in any administration, especially when the new president ignores the law, fires people (democrats and his on appointed republicans) simple out of spite. Trump claims countries are emptying their prisons and sending them to the US, but you don’t see the hypocrisy as he does exactly that.

Instead of focusing on what everyone seemed to have voted on the economy, he is opening up investigations on cases and crimes already adjudicated, simply because he is the one who needs that pacifier. And then there is you, the angry MAGA nut job, not making much sense, but throwing as much venom and insults as he possibly can at anyone having a civil discussion about what’s going on. I’d tell you what that proves about you, but I will leave the insults to you, you are certainly a professional at it.

Truth, first thing authoritarians do is rewrite the history books.

[Pete F.]

Theory is that you need 3.5% of the population to overthrow a tyrant.
To do that you need clear values that the majority of Americans want and can organize around.
Here’s a few
1. Term limits for Congress
2. Term limits for Supreme Court
3. No insider trading for Congress
4. Take money out of politics
5. Limit length of political campaigns
The vast majority of Americans support all of those.
We wouldn’t be in the position we are today if those were in place.

That’s impressive actually. My knees aren’t great, I can’t do high ladders.

How did you enrage the bees, I’m guessing you tried to impress them with your amazing artistry?
