I’m not a wendigo. I’m Appalachian American.

@boomstickbabe The Bowie knife is for genital mutilation so it’s OK.

I hear so often how gun culture is ‘glorifying violence’. When I wear shirts with gun iconography on it, often I am looked at as troublesome. Plenty of times in the Colorado State Capitol, pro gun citizens are told they cannot wear gun imagery or pins in the Capitol, but moms demand action can wear red shirts, reps can wear pro trans flags and pins with homosexual messaging on it. When I speak in committee supporting gun culture, I am met with negativity from moms demand action, anti gun senators and representatives, I am told that guns are the leading cause of death amongst children. The other night I was running an errand and came across this woman wearing this shirt. The shirt has ‘protect trans kids’ written on it, with a big ol bowie knife on it. I wonder, if I wore a shirt with ‘protect straight kids’ or ‘protect christian kids’ with a gun on it, would it be acceptable?

@BattleByrd The greatest country and western song…

What is the best country song? I know what it is just want to see if I like you or not...

@kangminlee I do, too. I also hope they all die of pain from testicular torsion right before their sentences end.

I hope every single nuisance streamer suffers the same fate as Johnny

@BigRockInsights This is great because this way nobody feels any guilt when some methhead with no trees to hide in guns them down.

When the government inevitably tries going door-to-door to round up our guns, it won't be American officers they'll be sending to your home... It'll be the foreigners they imported to replace us.

@SenMarkKelly The flu isn’t smallpox. We are dealing with a very (relatively) healthy subset of the population.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

@KanekoaTheGreat Even with $3,000,000 bucks to blow these guys did less damage than a single river shitting Indian.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups: -Ku Klux Klan -American Nazi Party -Aryan Nation -United Klans of America -Unite the Right -National Alliance -National Socialist Movement -Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club -American Front To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds. Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville — made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event. FBI Director Kash Patel: "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups — even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes." Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked." Scheme allegedly ran 2014–2023. FBI calls it an ongoing investigation. Insane!!!

@GovTimWalz Real pressing issue, that.

Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms. I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol - so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!

@Gimblin I made it about 18 months as a PD. You are correct.

Ok here goes: I was a full time Public Defender for over 6 years. I have been in private practice now (for the second time) for 16 years. I still take public defender cases on a contract basis and those cases make up about 15% of my practice. So since 2004 I have literally represented thousands of homeless clients and I can say the pathetic stories you have been told by the media, by TV & movies, and by those organizations that “help” the homeless is 100% BS. Let’s start: Claim 1) “You’re just one paycheck away from being homeless.” None, NONE, of the people chronically on the street were working and then were on the street after losing a good job. Less than 5% of the people who become homeless are there because of some personal tragedy like losing a job, a natural disaster, or a death in the family. Those that are homeless due to such an event do not stay homeless for long. They avail themselves of the MANY available services, both public and private, and are back on their feet within short order. These people help themselves and I know of no person who objects to assisting these folks as they help themselves and are just trying to get from point A to point B and then get back to supporting themselves. BUT, if you listen to the media, entertainment, and the homeless assistance grifters, this 5% represents ALL chronically homeless families folks. It’s a lie. Claim 2) “If you give the homeless free or subsidized housing they will soon be supporting themselves as responsible citizens” Absolute BS. 100 % of the chronically (not temporarily) homeless fall into 2 categories: A) those that are severely mentally ill &/or drug addicted B) People that just do not want to work, pay rent, or live as responsible human beings. I have a LOT of personal experience with both groups but let me begin with Group B. I have seen hundreds of these types and no matter what assistance is offered them, they only avail themselves of any help long enough to get some money and a warm bed for a bit, and then are back to “flying a sign” at an intersection. They don’t WANT to work a steady job. They don’t WANT to be responsible for paying rent or a mortgage or bills. They don’t WANT to live like normal folks. They want to get money by begging and then go buy booze or drugs and party at the homeless encampment at night. They literally live like perpetual hippies. Many of them can stand in the hot sun for 8 hours at a time taking money for suckers so they have the ability to work for a living BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO! They even work out shifts at the street corners with their buddies. One dude is there till lunch, one dude works the afternoon. “Flying a sign” is the grift. “Homeless vet” “Down and out” “Got laid off” You’ve all seen them. It’s. A. Grift. You are being conned. Big cities shuffle these guys to other cities by giving them free bus trips. Hundreds of homeless in southwest Missouri are shipped here every month from cities like Chicago and Memphis. They move from town to town and get free meals, clothes, bus passes, and other goodies and find a new intersection and a new camp and restart the grift over and over. To get transitional housing they would need to keep a regular job and not drink and not do drugs. They don’t want that. These folks are not alcoholics or addicts in the clinical sense, they just want to live off the charity of others and party at night. They are like perpetual teenagers and they never grow beyond that mentally as long as there are enough suckers to subsidize their lifestyle. The organizations that help the homeless, even religious ones, exist for federal & state grant money. They get more funding for every homeless person they “help.” They have zero incentive to make their “assistance” dependent upon a homeless person making any responsible changes. Thus the more homeless assistance organizations you have in your town, the more homeless people you will have. The cycle never ends Continued

@swd2 That should stop, too.

As predicted here come all the “pro-life” Republicans in my comments talking about personal responsibility. Yeah, take that up with the insane amount of grift and corporate welfare we throw out every single day.

As of today, Florida SNAP recipients can’t buy soda or candy because God forbid we allow a single mom and her kids a few moments of happiness at the end of the day. 😡

@maryarchived I can’t speak for everyone but I had kids because I wanted kids. This is the dumbest take I’ve ever seen.

lots of strange reactions to this game. let’s clear some things up: childless men do not have paternal instincts the way that childless women have maternal instincts (we observe this even in the way little girls play vs. little boys). men first experience paternal instincts once they have their own children - and typically, those paternal instincts are only ever felt for their own children, and no one else’s. men are not nurturers. men don’t gush over cute kids in public. men don’t have baby fever. if a man wants to possess a child for any reason other than it being a product of his own lineage, he is likely a predator. and you’d be taking the feminist/radical gender abolitionist position to protest any of the above points. this should explain why a “dad simulator” game marketed to mostly childless men gives people the creeps.

@Lifeinvestmoney I just call them Lindsay Grahams

Here's who should be drafted first: - F-150 drivers - Anyone with French heritage - Women who can't cook a proper steak - Everyone who's posted on LinkedIn over the past year - Anyone with a job title beginning with "Human Resources..." - Bitcoin bros Who am I missing?

@varrock Whites can hate whites. And many do.

The order goes: - white - asian - hispanic - black Violence and hate is endorsed by the Liberal political system, but only upwards. Blacks can hate anyone. Hispanics can hate anyone, except blacks. Asians are only allowed to hate whites. Whites can't hate anyone.

@Vk_Preacher Please open it. It looks like a septic tank

A couple of months ago I noticed an electrical box - it was hidden in some bushes in my yard Had two power cables plugged into it Today, curiosity got the better of me- So I started digging I pulled at the wires and started digging down, untangling them as I went. Ever so careful not to accidentally cut them. After a few hours I hit something solid, something that the wires were feeding into Concrete. I frantically started widening the hole I had made in the tough soil- trying to find the edges of this mysterious structure And then I saw it: a metal D-ring. Attached to a hatch. The previous owners told me not to go digging around in the yard I think I found their secret

@captive_dreamer I don't owe them an explanation. I just tell them they're delusional and mute the thread.

Bizarre to watch this happening in real time, every single day on here.

@AmrikanDesiAnon @Deshpacito661 Liberals let the world slide into madness by ignoring second and third order problems. Because it feels mean to talk about it at all. So, no, you don’t have the moral high ground. You just have pompous feelings and a world that knows you let the problems develop.

@Deshpacito661 No I completely disagree here. This is a MAGA thing. Hearing about caste privilege from some woke liberal or lefty lib campus Prof is not remotely the same thing at all. I might not agree with their Politics but liberals are just inherently better people than MAGa filth.

Indians need to fully internalize this, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum: a substantial constituency in the west thinks it’s hilarious when Indians making an honest living are killed/have their life put in danger. This particular individual is right wing, but you will see similar rhetoric on the left as well. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into going against your interests

@FeyiKeta @jrnewty Don’t argue with him. He’s retarded.

@jrnewty I’m not saying she's African, I was strictly talking about the skin tone. To me, when I say black in this context, it means dark skinned.

The undisputed No. 1 Black female character in anime history.

@weylandishikawa @WeaponOutfitter It’s awesome. And honestly kinda vibes like some Montana millionaires’ home bar.

@thatwendigoon @WeaponOutfitter 過剰なくらい記号を詰め込むことで日本人に対して効果的にアメリカを演出します。 ハリウッド映画の変な日本描写と同じです。

アメリカ人の皆さんに質問です。 これは私の友人の経営するバーです。 この店はどのくらいアメリカ🇺🇸でしょうか？ question for Americans: This is a bar owned by my friend. How American 🇺🇸 is this place?

@zanatta_tony @MrLeadslinger Not even a nagant 🤣

@thatwendigoon @MrLeadslinger Silencers are funny

When I was a kid I wanted to shoot my dad’s 12ga shotgun. I had seen some action movies and in those they always used buckshot (double aught) for maximum damage so I wanted to try that. We had an old wooden door and I wanted to blast a giant hole in it and turn it into toothpicks so dad stood it up against a post and let me shoot it. 9 little holes, that was it. I was disappointed. I say this because I think the vast majority of people have a Hollywood idea of how guns work and most of them never get beyond that.

@WilemElliott @MrLeadslinger Barrel length has crazy effects on what shotgun rounds will do, too. And shot size obviously makes a huge difference. Though there is a certain range of about 0-5 yd where it stays in the wad and just makes a mess.

@MrLeadslinger "Shotguns are great for home defense because they won't penetrate walls" Cue vid of 12 gauge 00 buck load going through a skinny block, two sheets of drywall, and the full length of another gel block as the "unintended overpenetration victim"

@jscamp2 @MrLeadslinger The ball rounds from the punt gun were damn impressive.

The "Kentucky Ballistics" YT channel shows off a lot of guns and occasionally does things like shooting vehicles trying to disable them (and failing until a lucky hit damages something critical), shooting through doors the H-wood shows as providing perfect cover, shooting armored trucks and showing which things penetrate even if not "armor piercing" rounds (but also showing how much better AP round actually do) and more. He's even got a punt gun (massive shotgun). Very educational and fun!
