“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard” H. L. Mencken

@fckoffmaebe Nuggets really banged up my sports schedule this spring.

the only thing i care about this month

@byesline Let’s go Avs!

My 71 year old father in law in town visiting said he’d never been to a pro hockey game. My son, 64 years younger, has never been to a playoff game. Life is short. I’ll replace the money but not the memory. GO AVS 😤

@COLawandOrder For an individual that seemingly likes to live in places hard to find. Remote campsite. This dude will not make his court date. 💯

BURGLARY SPREE: Jason Rood was arrested in connection with a series of break-ins targeting homes and properties in Larimer County. Authorities say he was located at a remote campsite and now faces 18 charges. He was issued a $1,000 cash-only bond. That's pure insanity. $1k bond for a serial burglar who hit multiple homes?

@Yoc_Star Didn’t hate CT pizza when I was stationed there. Being in Colorado 13 years I will say this with my chest out: “Mountain” Pizza is fucking trash

I’m going to need you to do a modicum of research before dogging Connecticut pizza.

@konquistador33 @JustinWStapley Democracy is having 3 wolves and 1 sheep decide what’s for dinner. Mob rule is never the answer

So Wyoming voters should get more sway in our national elections because no one wants to live there? Does the presidency somehow affect smaller states more than larger states? What sort of stupid logic is this? Our federal president affects every one of us equally. The compromise fit when we were just thirteen colonies with completely different cultures and religions at times. But people move often in the US now and aren’t tied to their state identity anymore. END THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Under the Electoral College, the President is elected by the states and it is the states who choose to run popular elections to select electors. This is actually an integral part of the longevity of the union, because the great compromise ensures that small states are not subsumed by a national policy driven be the population advantage of large states. Remove this framework and why would a state like Wyoming stick around and be dictated to by a government that only represents the coastal enclaves?

@Yoc_Star Vacations are human rights! Or something like that

The entitlement here…if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, extras like travel aren’t necessities

@LeadingReport Democracy is 3 wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner

Pete Buttigieg proposes selecting the president based on the popular vote instead of the Electoral College.

@mvndiaFC Public schools usually allow you to use their libraries. State colleges that is

Can you not just walk into most campus libraries?

There are trans-identifying men who freeze tomato sauce into cylinders to shove up their backsides so that when it melts, they can pretend that they’re having their period. But no, this is definitely not a fetish… or a mental health issue.

@jamesonhaslam To be fair, I’ve used my impact as a hammer too

POV you learn how to DIY everything so you don’t get scammed by blue collar

@megsknowsball As a baseball fan a new city connect hat usually does it for me.

going to buy myself something nice because it has truly been the worst week. what should i buy????

@DreamAmerica_ Democracy is 4 wolves and 1 sheep deciding what’s for dinner

PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"

@SleeperRockies Lose 3 and we still slightly improve in the NL West standings lol

Everybody’s copying us I see

@SteveStaeger This thing got me twice

Still waiting for word Hudson’s police chief on whether or not the town posted notice of a new speed camera, as required by law and if the town did a warning period for it (also mandated by state law)

@Yoc_Star Bottom right for me lol

I’m entirely the left column

@Vikingswest1 @GlowSurfing

@jcarls0 @GlowSurfing Wait. How'd that Wolves series turn out?

OK, Minnesotans - MN Twins MN Wild - playoff MN Twolves - playoff What are you watching?

@ThomasFrost42 Wow. Sounds like you frequently made the best out of bad situations. Good luck in the future Chief.

Today is the day. An end of a part of my life and a beginning of a new one. I am Retiring from the Military. I am now hanging up my Anchor. I Will be a Veteran tomorrow. I started this journey back in OCT 2009. I joined as a Electronic Technician Nuclear. Graduated out of MARF in class 1101. Went to the Sub USS NORTH DAKOTA (SSN-784). During my time there I got Medically Disqualified for Subs and Nuclear. I had an EDMC that wanted me to not be a Nuke and he made it happen. When I left the Sub. He told me that I should really consider not being in "His Navy". I told him to go fuck himself. While waiting to move on to the next part of my naval carrier I worked over at DEVRON 12 and the TAG. My job was the personnel driver for the Commodore. However I found and did multiple jobs. Including working in the TAG. The Tactical Analysis Group. I had so much fun and saw so many cool and wild things in that job. Cross rated over to GSE (Gas Turbine Systems Technician - Electrical) and served on board the USS GETTYSBURG. Was on their last deployment before they went in the yards for SLEP (Service Life Extension Program). We went from a 350 man crew down to 42. We didn't have a Doc. So as a First Class I became the Medical Officer. That was stressful. But it made me learn how to be a better leader. I left there in 2018 where I became an Instructor over at what was called at that time SWOS Newport RI. I taught Chengs and MPAs. My claim to fame is I wrote and designed the entire class for LHA class ship. The classroom and trainers didn't exist before I got there. That is where I put on Anchors and became a Chief. After my time there I went to The USS Higgins out of Yokosuka Japan. That is where I finally broke hard. I was out on patrol and I got a Dear John letter. My 4th in my military carrier. This affected me hard. I had recognized the dark thoughts and asked for help. The ship was the best and made sure I got the help needed. While TAD to CSD. The base Doc looked at the pool of bodies that were broken and trying to heal and used us to be the suicide watch for the entire base. I was in charge of that. I had 3 to 5 people attempt suicide every week for 7 months straight. a few had succeeded and I had to go to them and had to tell their Brothers and Sisters. That completely broke me hard. I went Medical board. They sent me off to San Diego where I worked as the LCPO for Division 2 of LIMDU Sailors and then I was the DLCPO of all LIMDU and Medboard. When I left I had 250 Sailors under my command. I have PTSD from all of the trauma that I had dealt with. I am sadly medically retired. However I take solace that I have touched sailors lives and I have kept people alive. I am proud of what I have done. I still want to do more. However I am taking comfort in that fact that the Military said I had done enough. To all of my friends still in. Thank you. To all of my family. I love you and thank you for all of the support. I could not have done this without you. Navy Chief Navy Pride. Thank you and you have the watch.

@Arkypatriot I’d rather kick it with my kids instead of playing on my phone while keeping them out but I guess that’s just me

This is so darn funny. Y'all are so imaginative. I can seriously see this as necessary in some instances. This makes me never want to delete this app. Cannot stop laughing about this

@dobetterdnvr @dnvr_is_burning 10K bond lol

Career criminal Jamie Drost has been arrested again…this time for second-degree assault on a peace officer (F3) and vehicular eluding (F5). He’s being held on a $10,000 cash-only bond. His rap sheet spans 36 years and runs over 20 pages with charges including burglaries, assaults, drug offenses, fraud, auto theft, kidnapping, felony menacing, and plenty more. The justice system will likely release him with “time served” or another slap on the wrist any day now. Surely this time he’ll turn his life around. After all, he only has 75 arrest cycles on his record. What could possibly go wrong? Give the guy another chance!

@BamaSaltyMarine Some of us do it for love of the game

We have X-Rays to see bones, ultrasounds to see babies, and a MRI to see the brain. Is a finger in the ass really necessary for a prostate exam?
