First, this kind of stunt encourages idiots without training to do similar stunts.

Second, this escapade tied up a lot of first responders who had to wait on scene while it went down. There were 911 calls for ambulances waiting while at least two units were there on standby.

[off topic?]

Joe Abercrombie’s latest book, The Devils, has a female werewolf. A six foot Viking woman who was incredibly dangerous before she turned, she is now part of a team that does the Vatican’s dirty work.

Fun book.

Go for it.

I’m beyond nontechnical. Someone gifted me an iPhone back in the day and I’ve stuck with them because I’m too lazy to learn another system.

Which gets us back to the original point; that there’s no reason to discuss political labels anywhere but a classroom.

Old joke.

A scientist is incredibly vain. He gets hired to work with a disease that causes human skin to putrefy. One day he discovers he’s caught the disease. He looks in the mirror, and the skin is literally rotting off his face.

“Yes, but on me, it looks good.”

Six months from now he’ll be boasting about how splendid it was.

Literally, ‘Socialism’ was in the name.

Also, the actual members of the Party hated to be called "Nazis’ because Nazi is a nickname for Ignatz. It was a bit like calling an american ‘Homer’ or ‘Jethro,’

No, my first place was literally that color.

I had to repaint it myself.

The original America250 plan was created a decade ago by a bi-partisan group. Trump’s Freedom250 was created in January 2025.

Even then, he had more than a year to come up with some great attractions.

If you never saw a wheel, and you made one, you invented it.

You just didn’t invent it first.

Here’s the reality.

All political labels fall apart in the real world.

Think North Korea is a ‘democratic republic?’ Or that Hitler was a Marxist?

Look at the 1956 Republican Party platform.

Heck, billionaire GOP Mayor Mike Bloomberg pushed to lower the number of cars coming into New York, almost as if he were a Green.

My advice is to look at the actual candidates and leave the theory in the classroom

There’s a simple reason Trump acts like a cheap crook.

When he was working with the New York Mafia the real bosses kept their distance, because they knew he was a loudmouth weakling who’d never kept a secret.

Instead, they’d send low level goombahs to run him. Mooks who thought ripping off change machines at a laundry made them smart.

A Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, would have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017.

Why do you think you hear so many ‘Leftists’ screaming Both Sides Are The Same?

Nonvoting always helps the Right, because those guys go to the polls every chance they get.

New York City, long a Dem stronghold, has implemented ranked choice voting.

One of the funniest essays I ever read was by porn actress Bobbi Starr. It was about porn’s addiction to Apple products. Someone copied it from an issue of FOX Magazine.

The idea was that a girl could shoot, edit, and distribute all her own stuff on Apple devices.

Look up TV show TURN George Washington’s Spies.

The Turtle shows up briefly. Great show, especially if you’re a history buff.

Robert A. Heinlein invented waterbeds and screen savers. He also wrote about pocket telephones.

Jules Verne invented the submarine

MAGA 2015 = We must have Trump because the world is laughing at us!

MAGA 2026 = Who cares what the rest of the world thinks???

I saw it and gave up about halfway through.

Never saw Portman looking so lifeless, and the action sequences were just mechanical.

I saw it and gave up about 20 minutes in.
