Living The Dream

@nettermike 💯

"It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault, you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility. When an officer says "Put your hands up," then put your hands up! Don't reach for something in your pocket, your lap, your seat. There's plenty of reason for a police officer to feel threatened, there have been multiple assaults and ambushes on police officers lately. Comply with requests from the officer, have your day in court. Don't mouth off, or fight, or refuse to comply... that escalates the situation. Police officers are our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. They're black, white, brown, all colors, all ethnicities, all faiths, male and female, they are us. They see the worst side of humanity... the raped children, the bloody mangled bodies of traffic victims, the bruised and battered victims of domestic violence, homicide victims, body parts... day after day. They work holidays while we have festive meals with our families. They miss school events with their kids, birthdays, anniversaries, all those special occasions that we take for granted. They work in all types of weather, under dangerous conditions, for relatively low pay. They have extensive training, but they are human. When there are numerous attacks on them, they become hyper vigilant for a reason, they have become targets. When a police officer encounters any person... any person, whether at a traffic stop, a street confrontation, an arrest, whatever... that situation has the potential to become life threatening. You, Mr & Mrs/Miss Civilian, also have the responsibility of keeping the situation from getting out of control. Many law enforcement officers are Veterans. They've been in service to this nation most of their lives, whether on the battlefield or protecting us here at home. They are the only thing that stands between us and anarchy in the streets. If you want to protect your child, teach them respect." ~ Sheriff David Clarke

I’ve been part of a protest before. I protested COVID mandates and lockdowns. However… When we were ordered out of the streets, I complied. When we were ordered out of an area, I complied. When we were asked to peacefully disperse, I did. No one fought. No one agitated. No one was there to cause problems. We exercised our first amendment right without crossing the line to criminality and then trying to be a martyr. That’s the difference…

@Knk1869 My experience is these types of charges are never brought, therefore, I assume, they are nearly impossible to prove. Hope I'm wrong.

@TheRealBlueChek Prosecutorial misconduct, falsifying and withholding documents, malicious prosecution, perjury, witness tampering, are just a few of the charges right off the top of my head which could be successfully brought to bear against him. Of course there's soooo many more

🚨I want from you to be Honest for this Question: Do you support Alvin Bragg getting prosecuted for what he did to Daniel Penny and Donald Trump ? YES or NO?

@DarrigoMelanie Are you really peddling this ridiculous version? No one in their right mind would believe this.

The SAVE Act would prevent up to 69 million women from voting — because women who change their name after marriage would not have a birth certificate with their legal name on it. Republicans don’t want women voting because women traditionally vote Democrat.

@BraddrofliT Maybe I'm too much of an American, but I don't understand how anyone would want to be a police officer if their job is to Jerry Springer every moron who wants to fight.

This is how the rest of the world sees us.

Sentiments of Venezuelans I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable. If you have never lived in Venezuela If you did not grow up there If you did not watch your country collapse in real time If you did not stand in food lines If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built If you did not have to leave your home with nothing Then shut the fuck up. You do not have an opinion. Your opinion does not matter. And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there. I’m Venezuelan. I lived there most of my life until my early twenties. I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes. This is not politics to me. This is trauma. Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked. There was trade. There was money coming in. There was investment from the US. There were jobs. There was food. There was medicine. My family had five businesses. We had our home We had investments. We had a future. Then the government started nationalizing everything. Private companies were taken. Foreign investors were pushed out. Imports were blocked. Price controls destroyed production. Corruption exploded. And everything died. Not slowly. Violently. People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online. They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope. People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology. They are trying to survive. They are trying to find food. Trying to find medication. Trying to keep their families alive. So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that” No. It’s not complicated. You’re just ignorant. China is not rebuilding Venezuela. Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela. Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela. They are stealing. They are extracting. They are draining what’s left. If the US comes in and reinvests If refineries get rebuilt If infrastructure gets restored If imports open back up If food, water, and medicine become accessible again If people can work and earn with dignity Then yes. Let them take all the oil they want. Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed. This is something to celebrate. Not because it’s perfect. But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope. Hope that families can eat. Hope that people don’t have to flee their country. Hope that Venezuela can function again. If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation Then again Shut the fuck up. This isn’t theory. This isn’t politics. This is lived experience. By Stephen Subero

@DerrickEvans4WV He's going to try to rewrite that statement.

🚨Mayor Jacob Frey: “The narrative that this was just done in self-defense is a garbage narrative.”

@DerrickEvans4WV I wonder what their stance is/was on Ashley Babbit

🚨NEW: Mayor Jacob Frey draws backlash after disputing claims in ICE ramming incident "A 37 year old woman is dead, she was shot by ICE ...they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense ... That is bullsh*t. This was an agent..."

@TheMrsJLowe @SteveLovesAmmo 👍

@TheRealBlueChek @SteveLovesAmmo No fowl bones. They splinter

I really hope she didn’t let him eat those cooked chicken bones!

@catturd2 Excellent example of how their narrative won't withstand factual correction. I understand that people pile on with un-useful insults, but politicians who block commentary exhibit no backbone. A trick of weak hustlers.

The hag turns off replies.

@KamalaHarris Here's a few things I know for certain: 1) you did not personally write your post 2) your party literally stole the US 2020 election which is a coup on US soil.

Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable. That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price. The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to. This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies. The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at home. America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and — most importantly — putting the American people first.

@kevinnbass No doubt. Time to disinfect this with sunlight. If not now, when?

I crunched the data. Again. I made a map. Again. The picture is now even CLEANER. States without voter ID requirements are 16x more likely to offer welfare benefits to illegal immigrants than states requiring ID (67% vs 4%, p<0.0001). Dems are importing and paying illegals for votes. Details👇

@wcdispatch Time to completely rip off the bandaid. Let's see everything.

This is the listed location of the auditing firm that performed the audits for both the Minnesota and Ohio on the NGOs we have linked to potential fraud. You cannot make this stuff up.

@glenn_tunes I think you can safely un-wad your panties, unless Denmark and Norway starts seizing US assets and turning their countries into 3rd worlds against the survivability of their citizenry. Next?

SAME FROM ME IN NORWAY 🖐️🖐️

@SenMarkKelly Nice try. The military owned your a*s the minute you signed up. You committed sedition on video, dummy.

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

@GovTimWalz It's funny how those of us who met you for the first time, running with Harris, immediately recognized the fraudster in you. You can't simply rewrite your history.

Minnesota has to come first - always. Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids. I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Well thought out and stated...
