Well, I wasn't bent, Jingles, because you accused me of that! Ha ha.
Oh, Trump is being dealt with alright. We, the people would not let permanent military rule happen. It would not be easy for this to be brought about. It's the fact that the minion, Hegseth said it at all. And I betcha Trump liked that.

[dorankj]

Well you crazy spinmasters (you change the subject, apparently just fine, i respond you and freak out because it's not the main post title (talk about Jello!)) Here's the main truth, Donald John Trump is ALL our president for 3.5 more years DEAL WITH IT! If at that time "permanent military rule" is happening ANYWHERE in this country I will acknowledge you're right. Otherwise, I guarantee you all will be just as full of $h!t as every other prediction you've had about Trump (and largely everything else) so far.

My mistake Pearl is was not you that first mentioned the Bombing of the Houthi's and I would like to apologize. I AM VERY SORRY.
It was Rideback that brought up the subject.

[PAL]

Hey, this was my original post. I was pointing out what reformed drunk Hegseth said regarding "permanent military rule" in the United States. Is this what you want Jingles and Ken. I don't think I said anything about the Houthi's.

"Hegseth warned that the sight of U.S. soldiers pointing their weapons at protesting American citizens may become a more common sight going forward, casually raising the prospect of permanent military rule in the middle of a budgetary hearing."

Then Ken goes off on a rant about we? degenerates not allowing us? to rule anyone. Hmm, didn't read the whole quote above, I guess. it's the military according to Hegseth that would rule us. How much more explanation do you need?

"I WILL NOT allow you degenerates to 'rule' anyone! Sheeple (I'm perfectly capable of name calling too if you start it, hypocrite!)"

It appears that Jingles and Ken would be fine with permanent military rule. You'd be in the same boat as everyone else unless you pledge alligence to one who does not abide by the Constitution.

[Rideback]

Thank you Jingles, your answer was exactly the point of how utterly stupid it was for Ken to believe Trump when he said he'd end these wars on his first day in office.

[Jingles]

Ask Pearl she brought up that we are continuing to bomb the Houthi's
Here is a refresher History lesson when you critisize Trump still bombing the Houthi's. He is Not the 1st POTUS to smack their azzes for messing with the US, that distinction goes to the 2nd POTUS, Thomas Jefferson, in the early 1800's. So in a little over 125 years they forgot mess with the US and you'll get your AZZkicked again

I'm trying to figure out how protesters exercising their first amendment rights are somehow connected to a weird rebel Islamic terrorist group on the other side of the world.

Trying to guess which flavor of jello...

Where's all the peace and tranquility Ken promised?
https://bsky.app/profile/robertscotthor ... h767xjbk2q Instead, all we're getting is Trump trying to start wars in the streets of America.
The US is bombing Houthis, Israel is now bombing both Iran and Gaza, Russia is still bombing Ukraine. We're threatening Greenland still and again. When is all this peace and tranquility that Trump promised us he would accomplish on Day 1 because everyone around the world was supposedly afraid of him going to arrive?

Let's diagnose the above the houthis are a known terrorist group supported by Iran and when you attack US War ships and other international ships attempting legal commerce expect retaliation. Let's take a hypothesis you have an aggressive rattle snake (the houthis), does cutting off the snakes rattles make that snake less dangerous, or do you cut off the head (Iran)?, which has and continues to threaten Isreal and the western world can you blame Isreal for taking action to protect themselves? If so then I have to presume you would sit by and let people threaten and even cause you injury or death without doing anything, and are one of those that safely sits back and let's others protect you, we used to call those people chicken schit Lilly livered cowards and you probably still wear your chicken track peace symbol necklace

[Rideback]

Even jello has more substance than your backtrack.

[dorankj]

Fixing Dementia Joe's weakness which ALLWAYS is provocative to thugs and authoritarians might take some strong force. Iran was given a chance to work it out, they insisted on Nuclear ambitions so Trump let the dogs attack. It might be a excellent fix for the 50 year old mistake Carter made letting the Ayotollas turn the country to a theocratic hell-hole. The good people of Iran might just overthrow those dirtbags like they almost did in '08 but Obama wouldn't support the people. This might work out super well, a nuclear Iran WILL bring Armageddon, those religious freaks are completely nuts!

Maybe you should have watched the video I posted. Because none of the bull$h!t explanations you gave pass the laugh test.

We shouldn't be really surprised when police officers abuse their authority.

At least five journalists, including the lady in the video in my previous post, have been hit by rubber bullets law enforcement officers shot directly at them in Los Angeles. At least one of them required emergency surgery.

Just saying, but maybe if you are so concerned about journalists reporting about your activity that you feel the need to [i]shoot[/i] them maybe you need to reexamine the choices you are making.

The difference is the cops are required to maintain law and order for EVERYONE! If you want to hold a PEACEFUL protest go ahead, but it's NOT required that everyone has to put up with burning others property, vandalizing and stealing throwing objects which can kill or maim. You dumasses tried this crap during the 'summer of love' it FAILED miserably and won't be tolerated again.

[PAL]

Good points David. Adrenline surged cops get carried away. Some like to shoot.

[mister_coffee]

What I will never understand is the hypocrisy underlying this whole argument.

If a law enforcement officer abuses his authority and harms law abiding citizens, that is just "one bad apple".

If someone who has an AR-15 has a mental health event and murders a bunch of people then we aren't supposed to judge other AR-15 owners.

But if people are protesting and, god forbid, someone dares to throw a rock it is no longer a protest and is a violent riot.

This lady sure looked like a violent rioter to the cop thirty feet away from her who shot her with a rubber bullet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuDntN_6ntc

Again, was that "one bad apple" or all they all jack booted thugs?

[PAL]

There really were some protesters, a very few, that were starting to get out of hand. Provocateurs. I keep saying it over and over. HCR says the minute people see any kind of violence at these protests, they are turned off. Cool heads have to prevail.
Lisa Brown, Spokane's mayor says she supports peaceful protests. At one time she was one of those protesters. It's the indiscriminate taking of immigrants that have no criminal record, that are being taken that is upsetting people. There is a Right to Work law of some kind in place in Wa state.

FTA:

The city says everyone must abide by this curfew, with exceptions including law enforcement, emergency personnel, media, people leaving the soccer game at the Podium, residents living in the area, and people going to and from work.

The city attorney said at a press conference on Wednesday night that a violation of the curfew is a misdemeanor.

Words fail me.

If the "PEACEFUL" Protestors outnumber and are fighting with ,throwing bricks, fireworks with police there is a threat to injury death of officers. But that is the local municipality call, when the outnumber federal officers and are destroying federal property that is a fed call and Fergie and Bass suck it up buttercup.
Or if want to use less than lethal force bring in the water cannons that have a non washable florescent green or purple dye added to the water or even that pretty red fire retardant

So you would have used deadly force on the January 6th insurrectionists? Good to know.

[PAL]

Remember, "permanent military rule".

GIVE THE WARNING We will protect federal property( buildings) and personnel by ANY and ALL means necessary, when tear gas and rubber bullets don't work use lead.

Deciding to shoot/kill human beings - who are parading with paper signs on sticks, no matter how noisy, because you don’t agree with them - to protect concrete, glass, steel and brick means you are probably a Fascist.

You might want to make an appointment with your regular MD to make sure that your head isn’t completely lodged waaaay up your A$$.

Good luck on your medical journey. Seriously.
.
Throwing bricks, swinging metal baseball bats, exploding fireworks, throwing moltove cocktails, and burning cars is not exactly paper signs and sticks so wake up and pull your hear out of your azz

[mister_coffee]

So when the cops riot and abuse people going about their lawful business by, I don't know, trampling them with horses should the people be allowed to use deadly force as well?

Where do you think this is all going to lead? I guarantee you won't like it.
