New threat to 2nd A?

Same thing x2. But I was not smart enough to buy them beer. I should have. They deserved it. The second time, there were a few women with them that picked up stuff, gophered for tools and nails, and made sure lunch was ready when they took a break. I did not get the idea that they were paid, but just the women folk supporting their men. In any event, with massive numbers of roofs to replace over a 4 state area, these were the people that got it done by working hard.
working that hard could make some folks feel perfectly inadequate, don't you think?
 
Another case of believe your eyes, not what you are told

Trumps response upon hearing of that incident?

"She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her"

He has lobbed vile and false insults towards Omar for years, and we think that it is weird?

No just another MAGA idiot doing what he thought was needed.
I feel Trump missed a great oppurtunity to call her Ilhan Smollet.
 
Didn't know there were so many Tories here. Yall would simp so hard for the red coats. If you think the protestors in MN are bad, you have no idea the kind of political violence it took to get this nation born.
We are long ways from me condoning political violence.

Perhaps related to the reason we got here - too many are too quickly. What was I saying about jumping to irrational conclusions too quickly?

I’m not saying anything one way or another on that story, except that anyone who takes any DHS statement about what happened at face value is dumber than Kristi Noem, and that’s pretty f-ing dumb.
 
It wasn't too long ago that right wingers wore tee shirts with the "tree of liberty must be refreshed with blood".

Now they fear a group of people pointing smart phones at ICE agents.

The founding fathers could never have envisioned the smart phone of today. It turns out that empowering everyone with the ability to record video is a powerful tool against government misbehavior.
 
Nov ‘24 Trump claimed to dismantle government overreach. Jan ‘26 Trump condemns lawful public carry of guns and magazines, echoed by a chorus of Trump appointees including DHS Secretary and FBI Director. WE are now considered gunmen, terrorists, an assassins.

If you haven’t read Animal Farm, it is as relevant now as ever. No government can protect us from the institution of government. Turns out the preppers and militias were right all along. Faith in a strongman is voluntary subjugation.

The agent who attacked the two protesters is lucky to be alive. Pretti could have justifiably killed him in self-defense.

 
Several years ago, during Trump's first term, there was a really bad hail storm that rolled thru. There was an inch or two of golf ball sized hailstones on the ground.

Our biggest insurance settlement was reroofing the house and a small shed. We worked with a well known roofing contractor. The crew that came out was eight Hispanic men. The lead man was nearly as old as I was. Our roof is a bit steeper than a typical roof line. They started early, while there was a bit of the morning coolness left. The summer sun soon had it plenty warm.

Somewhere in mid afternoon, I asked one of them if they had a beer preference. He told me Carona would work. So I bought a case, iced it down, and cut up a few limes. I placed the cooler by their main truck. After they finished up, they drank the beer, and visited among themselves. Then they left, and certainly did a similar job the following day.

I pondered that some of them, or maybe all of them might be undocumented. What I was certain of, is all of them worked ambitiously, and professionally on our roof. I also knew they worked that hard, day after day. There is a good chance they were sending money back home to their families.

I agree that a secure border is a good and needed thing. What I won't do is hate on someone who is willing to work so hard to make their way in this world.
I use a crew in the falls to level grain bins. Hard work leveling 48’ bins. Always buy beer, they can make a 30 pack disappear pretty fast!
