Any male with balls larger than a pin head would not have been threatened by the Good lady.  I'll bet there are at least a few police officers in that city who have respect for women enough to have thoughts to take the ICE shooter out for a few shots.

 

Perfect idea for Denzel's next The Equalizer.  I'd be giving him a standing ovation.

No, I'm not actually shutting it down.  But I definitely do wonder how all this shit started...2016!  And it's just gotten worse since. 

 

I knew Trump would be a divisive choice that divides the country, but I have to tell you, that was the worst case scenario in my mind. 

 

This term, nothing is off the table.  This fucker will do almost anything to force people to give him what he wants...not negotiation, not compromise...extortion!  And many people are ok with that!

 

Cheers!

 

Personally it is hard for me to stand his narcissism etc. But I think what he does, he is not wrong on everything. The environment also was ripe for something like this to happen, he just used this. I take this as a cognitive dissonance. But most importantly, please keep COBF running, I super easilly can promise to not write any word in the political thread anymore, if this would help:)

Well over a decade ago I had Angela read COBF posts.  She immediately said to me this: "Well, you obviously have two posters setting the climate on the entire forum.  How can you even read it?"

Lithuanian idiom: "Šuo ir kariamas pripranta" - A dog also adapts to being hanged. Meaning: You can get used to anything.

It is stupid and reckless.  They should have been arrested and their car impounded.  They also should have been charged with assault with a weapon.

 

But this wasn't even attempted vehicular manslaughter...let alone attempted murder with a weapon.  No reason they should have been shot.

 

Compare that to the riot at the Capitol...protestors turned rioters breaking into the Capitol building while in session.  Not a mall or office buildings, the Capitol building!  Politicians barricaded in the chamber floors, fearing for their lives, while officers stood guard over the entry with their guns drawn.  Rioters attempting to break the doors...not a handful of rioters, but dozens...enough that would have easily overwhelmed the officers even with their sidearms.  A woman rioter is shot and killed...but that still doesn't stop the rioters.  They continue to run wild through the Capitol building attacking police officers and destroying government property.

 

You say that she wasn't respecting authority...yet the rioters en masse were doing the same and were running through the Capital building screaming to hang certain politicians.  

 

I can understand how you think the media is biased on many issues...but how can you deny, with a straight fucking face, that January 6th wasn't a riot and that many of those that received pardons, particularly the violent, armed rioters rampaging through the Capital building, should have received such pardons?  There is no debating this...just plain wrong...and that is what any responsible person would tell their own children and grandchildren.  Cheers!

<<It is stupid and reckless. They should have been arrested and their car impounded.>>. Completely agree.  If that would happen immediately after one warning when any law enforcement operation is being intentionally impeded, there would be a lot less incidents.

Whoa Nelly, the division started a long time before 2016.  Trump was a direct result of the growing division.

Reminds me of Charlie Mungers funeral joke: "Does no one have anything good to say about the deceased?".

 

Here's an interesting video from Germany, where a farmer is trying to break through a police blockade with his tractor.
Somehow they managed not to shoot him.

Not sure people are OK with what he does, but there is no alternative.  Trump has single handedly crushed DEI, abortion and freedom of speech. 

 

Even late night satire is threatened!

 

You're right, no negotiation, no discussion. Just action.  Its very efficient but seems to fly in the face of democracy.  

 

Trump sees multiple wars  to be fought even where there is peace.

By the way, from the evolutionary point of view, it is probably best to have children with someone of a different race, since the likelihood of genetic disorders is reduced.  Now there could be cultural problems to deal with, however in my experience, Soviet immigrants in specialized science schools had a lot more in common with immigrants from Asia than Americans, despite being white.  Similarly in college, I mostly hung out with Soviet, Latino and Bangladeshi/Indian first generation immigrants.  Perhaps playing ping pong, squash, and pool after dinner had something to do with this...

My wife is Canadian and I'm East Indian, second generation. 

 

2 kids, both IVF.  My 3 yo daughter is an awesome blend of light brown complexion, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Very sharp for her age.

 

My 6 mo old boy, well he's very white with blue eyes and copper colored hair. I feel like I stole him when I hold him. 🤣 

 

Genetics is funny that way.

So which one is white and  which one is East Indian?  Does it matter?

There are a few Heinz Pickles on this board staunchly holding forth for the right.

 

Those Heinz pickles will attempt to justify anything and everything that Trump and his Storm Troopers do.

 

Why is there is little sense in arguing with a Heinz Pickle?

Congrats! And "no" it doesn't matter. Just be glad they were born where they were.

Yeah, if you love law enforcement, no use in arguing with anarchists and Antifa lovers:

 

While ICE fights to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota – including child rapists, murderers, and more – violent rioters and agitators are actively trying to protect these vicious criminals by interfering and obstructing ICE operations.

You two are retarded!  What the fuck is happening to the COBF?  Even I'm wondering these days!  Time to close shop!  Cheers!

Whats crazy? Is it just taboo to actually acknowledge? It’s definitely a real thing where some white dudes seek out foreign wives.

Nothing wrong with pickles, and the more pickled the better!

 

Growing up under apartheid, I was an atheist colonial border at a largely Jewish all boys school, with Zulu servants. When at home, Shona servants, and all this while living in a steadily worsening civil war, taking people every day.  Before colonization, the Shona were Zulu subjects, and both tribes spoke entirely different languages. Had a great time breaking all the rules that I could think of 😁

 

Lot of others added to the mix during a stopover in Europe, all thoroughly enjoyable, and most all of them masters at their various crafts 😅

 

It's just a different approach to those around you. Some things you just have to try 😁, other stuff .... you 've got better!

Trump won the election by a popular majority even with all of the cheating from the blue states.  Get over it.  There are far more people who disagree with you than choose to engage you.  Maybe they have better things to do with their time.

LOL not to mentioned that while "two people" on COBF get obsessed over because of fragile feelings, theres a good bunch of gnats who's contributions to the investing side, uhm....dont exist...they more or less inhabit this place to freeload and then chime in every once in a while to let us know they hate Trump or something. All good though!

SD [ @SharperDingaan ],

 

I still miss your old avatar of the tribe chief with lips so huge and wide that he could kiss the whole family on a row goodbye in one huge *smack* before going to work! 😂

 

Now that the capital is distributed in full to the next generation, isen't it time to write your memoirs now? Or driving a new Ph.D. teacher nuts? Isen't sentiment swing trading turds like Ørsted and earlier Deutsche Bank and oil stuff getting a bit boring with time? 😆

Yea, and I already posted this, but I literally stole this line from him:

Getting mellow on something/body you have to live with is not a bad advise either:)

I saw this shared by Rufus Gifford, former US Ambassador in Denmark, on SoMe, with permission of the sender, Danish veteran,  Company Sergeant Major Henrik Bager, to share, Mr. Bager unknown to Mr. Gifford :

Honestly : Shame on somebody.
