  1. It's not about irrational. It's about dangerous. I'm sure there have been violent incidents involving a toll booth operator but I bet they're pretty damn rare. I mean, why would someone attack a toll booth operator?
  2. No we won't. There are significant differences between our country and the two you mentioned, and even in England something like 10% of cops are armed. In the U.S. cops need to be armed. That's not debatable. And you'd have trouble finding cops if you took away their guns.

    Maybe he needs to use a modified hockey stick as a putter?
  5. You're wrong here. Do you know how many cops get shot and killed during traffic stops? It's one of the most dangerous aspects of their job. The answer isn't to remove the tools they need to do their job. If they didn't need them we would have already done that. It's to better identify those who shouldn't be cops in the first place, properly train and educate them including on using restraint whenever possible, and holding those who don't live up to those standards accountable. And in this case accountability is being had. All that being said, there will ALWAYS be an incident here or there. it's not statistically possible to have a perfect anything. So, we minimize it as much as possible but realize that things will still happen on occasion. And it would help if there weren't so many people not acting properly in their interaction with police. These guys put their life on the line every time they put that uniform on. We need to understand that and make their job easy when we interact with them. Don't give them reason to think they're in danger.

    Who will be the Kamala Harris pick for VP?

    Then she should pick Sam Brinton. He'd fill out the diversity ticket but she wouldn't have to worry about him wearing the same dress at the convention. He'd just steal hers.

    WTF are you talking about? Trying to confirm your assertion is cherry picking? So now that your data point has been proven false, you won't admit you're wrong and are doubling down. Yeah, you came to this site for intelligent conversation on political topics. Sure you did.

    Maybe take this as a data point that the MSM you follow so religiously is lying to you.

    You gonna support your assertion or not? I'm gonna guess not, cause you're wrong. Owned again.

    War in Israel

    See, I thought that's what Tim was talking about. EXCEPT: 1) Tim said his approval rating is 30%. Even using your link that's wrong. 2) Your links are from over two months ago. I thought Tim might bring that link up but was waiting for him to do before bringing up mine: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-30/netanyahu-s-popularity-on-the-rise-in-blow-to-israeli-rivals Tim's assertion is that Bibi left Israel NOW with a 30% approval rating. That's not accurate. At best it was in Mid May but my link shows that's not accurate either. IOW, Tim is making sh*t up again.

    Yes you do. All the focking time. Remember when said Biden was kicking Trump's A$$ in the polls but it turned out to be ONE poll. And then I posted a link to a bunch of polls via 538 showing Trump kicking Biden's a$$ and you said "they're behind. They'll catch up eventually." Yeah, you make sh*t up constantly.

    I tried. Can't find anything recent. So you're making sh*t up again and/or just believing people instead of verifying for yourself. Typical.

    Why are you trusting Tim? Makes him prove it before engaging, even if you're just going to mess with him. He makes numbers up CONSTANTLY.

    Define "substantial profits". And what is acceptable to you? Do you not think businesses should strive to be profitable? IOW, your post/stance is so vague as to be meaningless.

    Nothing in his post goes to profit margin.

    Really? You think if the CEO made, say, 100k, they could have kept prices lower? You REALLY think that? Or are you referring to "net income?" Because you are aware, are you not, and you too @IGotWorms, that net income <> PROFIT, right?

    Given that VP's don't do a whole lot, she should pick a Messican. Then she can have them mow the White House lawn and save the taxpayers some money.

    She should pick Bernie Sanders so there's a viable succession path after her 8 years as dictator President.
  22. One more thing on this. These situations are why I've advocated for probably close to a decade for mandatory body/car cameras on police. And if they magically "don't work" during an incident that should be a policy violation subject to discipline up to and including termination of the cop regardless of the outcome of the incident. And if they don't work that should be construed in the worst possible way for the cop when trying to determine what happened in the incident. Absent the body camera footage this dooshbag gets away with murder.

    Kamala Harris for President thread

    Sure pal. I noticed you've ignored my posts showing Kameltoe being rated as the most radical leftist in the Senate when she was there. But let's see if she pushes these policies during the campaign if they're such winning policies. Glad you think convicted terrorists should be allowed to vote.
  24. This from the guy who continued to support Biden even after the debate showed he was marginally more there mentally than a person in a vegetative state, simply because Trump is a "threat to democracy." I guess no one should trust anything you say due to your insincerity too then.
