Give me a fuckin paddle.
You wouldn't get within 20ft
then get a 21 ft paddle. simple as.
I wouldn't touch him with a 39-and-a-half foot paddle!
So a 39’7” paddle would suffice
What is this? A joust?
It’s your mom’s dildo
Shhh... let him try.
For legal purposes, my comment was not a challenge ;) ;) ;)
One person won't. But gather 100 people with paddles; and now we got a ruckus.
Que the drone strikes. Gotta EMP ourselves to have a chance
Queue*
Cue*
Edit: unless he's talking about actually lining up multiple drone strikes, in which case queue is correct. Cue is used to indicate the start of something (from theater).
What the...!?
But can a person get within 800m of mar-a-lago’s golf course?
Depends on how big this queue of drones is
….. and all of us are probably now on a list
Can a president be held financially liable for things they did? Like destroying historic landmarks?
We can pass any laws we want, we just need to remember that we are fucking in charge.
Why only financially? Why not criminally?
Because that hasn't worked so far
"Dogs can't play basketball"
Keeps getting dunked on by a dog
We just need to run a bunch of investigations but file charges in three years, once they’re no longer above the law
According to the supreme court, only if we handle it ourselves. That's not quite how they worded it, but I gather that was the ultimate result.
If actual leftist take power these fascist will be held responsible for more than that.
Unfortunately, it looks like we're headed towards another liberal 4 years followed by an actual fascist with ideology and intelligence in the form of Tucker Carlson. Hell, if the midterms are bad we might even skip the 4 years of failed liberal rule.
I think it's actually WORSE if we have another 4 years of a liberal failing to do anything of material value for the majority of the population. Especially if they are held up as "the left" by DSA Andy's. There is nothing more damaging to the left and more helpful to the right than a normie thinking that leftism is half-assed public private partnership programs that are labeled as "communist" if their goal is at all perceived as being helpful to anyone but the ruling class.
Puppy killer Kristi Noem
is seeking emergency approval to demolish 13 historic buildings at the historic federal campus St. Elizabeths, established by Congress in 1855 and originally called the “Government Hospital for the Insane,” the newspaper reported Tuesday.
Noem said that the buildings constituted “a present risk to life and property” given that the buildings sit on the DHS’ West Campus complex, and that their vacancy could be used by “individuals seeking to cause harm to personnel,” including those seeking to carry out “active shooter scenarios.”
Emergency.... Approval..... to demolish historic buildings. Fucking ridiculous.
Yes, whenever I'm selecting a location to shoot a bunch of people I always prefer one that's vacant.
But don't people at DHS carry guns? I thought "good guys with guns" were enough of a defense/deterrent.
All tyrants want to destroy the past. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, ISIS...
Fascism right there
hes doing it as a distraction to amount epstien files that are coming out. the more comes out the desperate he becomes. flooding the zone, providing cover the billionaire DONORS for both parties, and of politicians all over the world.
Too much credit to Trump. Trump is being given projects to keep him distracted.
Bro thinks Trump cares about the files lmao
I think he figures if he tears down a historic hospital for the mentally ill, they can't ever put him in it.
Probably have a Trump statue built in all of these locations.
He is simply anti-life
