if you are being detained, follow orders. pretty simple concept that will save you embarrassment on the internet like the ATF man-child agent.

Not according to a google search. Looks like it started about an hour ago. Wonder how long it stays.

Given the nature of our circle of friends, I shall be most disappointed if neither Brainey nor I get this message in the forthcoming days.

Actually, I wonder if there's a third one we haven't seen yet for "You may be a harmful extremist."

On an unrelated note, I've been unable to avoid becoming aware of the fact that Brittney Spears is in the news again. Apparently, she was declared mentally incompetent about a decade ago, and has no control over her affairs.

I'm kinda sad that I don't have Facebook so I can't get that message.

The funny point is that their rally cry for a "fair living wage" is meaningless to them, and all but guarantees pain and economic hardship for the poor dumb bastards who believe them. It's like voting for Biden and then getting laid off from your union steel or pipe-fitting job, all while watching your gas bill double within months.
Gotcha. Totally valid point. Any time you hear a politician saying "we're lifting people out of poverty by raising minimum wage to $15/hr" is maddening. Also, any time a politician says "we're protecting the Middle Class".

Meh, I stand by my position. The "ATF" agent is a suspect until proven otherwise - especially since he was just barely walking away from the front door when he arrived. ATF agent hyper-escalated the situation by doing what nearly EVERY perp does just before they get shot - be argumentative, non-cooperative.

Again, it could have gone smoothly if the ATF agent cooperated AND diffused the situation. Having the gun was secondary (I didn't see it visible, so maybe that's my bad) - non-cooperation or combativeness was the problem.

I agree with this statement 95% of the time, but again 2A and the fact that Antifa and the rest of these ******* are gaslighting people while they sleep. They call the cops and say they heard gunshot, or there's a huge drug deal going down and some dumb, sleepy dude shows up at his front door and gets a shotgun in his face. That's when you're actually on the side of Antifa...

Under Trump about a third of the kids coming over the border had DNA that didn't match that of their "parents." They were clearly being used to get a family unit over the border, and then in too many cases they were then sex trafficked. Did Biden continue with the DNA testing, or is it open season for child sex trafficking?

I presume that question is rhetorical.

C'mon, fellow Chicagoans. Sign up for a training course at an indoor range and get some practice in. We can do better than this.
