Or Alabama, Arkansas (two different statutes), Florida, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota (three different statutes), Oklahoma (two different statutes), South Dakota (three different statutes), Tennessee (three different statutes), Texas, Utah and West Virginia.

I am astounded you would correlate any limits on freedom as you mention above with Russia.




If you blow / topple statues and light fires wearing a BLM shirt, you're probably fine.

you’re in the “they”, hate to tell you. you do it too.

there’s more to civility than expecting it from others. you have to show it too.

really something, for you and paul to complain about.

i built a similar colonial in CT, in a popular hartford suburb, probably worth 35% more than i paid. his house almost tripled. And my property taxes are triple what his are, and of course we have a state income tax. but TN offers no freedom.

i’ve visited him twice, and i wouldn’t want to live there, but it’s one of the fastest growing regions of the country. at one point 100 people a day were moving to the nashville suburbs.

it’s not because americans want to be imprisoned.

it’s not on the water, doesn’t have great mountains or skiing. but it offers a great quality of life at a fraction of the cost of living in new england. and the state leaves you pretty much alone..

very different from CT.

They were ALL in response to your insults. Did you not remember that?

Why should anyone take your constant insults?

i hear Florida is a post apocalyptic wasteland thanks to Deathsantis ( ha ha ha makes me laugh every time) and Gov Cuomo is “the gold standard” according to Biden, he was so awesome the Hollywood invented an award to give him.

It's my understanding that when China had decided to build slave labor camps to put the Uyghurs in, they modeled those camps based on the concentration camps in TN.

And similarly (not justified though), I also only throw elbows after being elbowed.

So did I mess the announcement that only you have the right to hit back? I'm very sorry if I missed that.

[nightfighter]

And let me remind you all, the subject is Ukraine........

[scottw]

1/3rd of Taiwan mysteriously lost power...that's weird

Just a friendly FYI

I didn't pass these anti protest Laws those states did ... and we know why those laws were passed and (your BLM reference says it all) it's a slippery slope and it all starts somewhere..

But Truckers blocking roadways is supported by the same party who passed these .. funny how that works

Of course you do but in my experience you start it.

Wonder if this is the reason the convoy is stalled - cheap Chinese tires:

Trent Telenko, a retired Pentagon staff specialist and military history blogger, suggests another big reason may be Russia's tires, as he explained in a long, illustrated Twitter thread based on photos of deserted Russian Pantsir-S1 wheeled gun-missile systems and his own experience as a U.S. Army vehicle auditor. "When you leave military truck tires in one place for months on end," the sidewalls get brittle in the sun and fail like the tires on the Pantsir-SR, he wrote. "No one exercised that vehicle for one year."

Karl Muth, an economist, government adviser, and self-described "tire expert," jumped in, agreeing with Telenko but adding some details about the tires.

"There is a huge operational level implication in this," Telenko said. "If the Russian Army was too corrupt to exercise a Pantsir-S1, they were too corrupt to exercise the trucks and wheeled [armored fighting vehicles] now in Ukraine," meaning "the Russians simply cannot risk them off-road during the Rasputitsa/mud season." That is a problem for the convoy in the north, he added. "The Crimea is a desert and the South Ukrainian coastal areas are dryer. So we are not seeing this there. But elsewhere the Russians have a huge problem for the next 4 to 6 weeks." Read Telenko's whole thread on Twitter.
