Imagine being the Police, dealing with morons like this daily.
This is why I never would own a retail business.

Obnoxious woman, provoking the cops, who were quite patient with her and handled the situation in a restrained manner without the need to beat her up.

I'm with the cops in this situation...

 

[GILSAN]

With no Police, this is the result.

Pretty shocking what all those bastards did to him... Where they ever arrested? And what happened to the driver?

"Trump says Kim meeting will be about ‘attitude,’ not prep work"...why? Because he never does any prep work, nor homework, he is a simple fly off the cuff con man, no time left after all the hours he spends watching fox news and twitter while looking in the mirror.

I don't think NK is holding a lot of cards. People seem to forget there are three other countries besides the USA and NK in these negotiations.

Prime Minister of Japan expressed confidence and appreciation for President Trumps efforts. Doesn't mean it will happen in one meeting or three.

Thing is, police don't prevent crime - they respond to it (and occasionally create it). Societal values prevent crime, and the USA is pretty degraded on that point. I don't see any turn around as long as violence continues to be glorified, and as long as money and fame are promoted as the top 2 things to achieve in life, and as long as drug abuse (prescribed or otherwise) remains rampant.

You got it 100%. Narcisissm is really bad, I have to deal with it 20-30 year old people in Latin America sometimes. Fortunately, it is nothing like the states. They watch the same crap on TV as in the states. “It’s all about me”, NPD is an affliction that is classified at various levels. I ran through a bunch of youtube video examples, so glad there are smart, common sense people documenting this behavior in video and posting it, truly is nice to see that there are quite a few people who recognize these societal problems.

I watched some POS woman whose glowing arrogance about how important showing her face on social media was, she was actually eating crab legs in front of the camera and smacking her lips and being quite low class sloppy licking her fingers, talking and eating on camera. It was really pathetic.

I see some of this latest generation of people collecting youtube, twitter and facebook followers as though they are some representative disciples of a higher power. There was even one loud mouth domainer who was bragging on twitter about all his followers, these people need an ego check.

As long he is writing a check to pay partial expenses its ok with me. I would like to see what this mess costs the US Taxpayer versus the neighboring countries and it hope it doesn’t turn into another NATO like mess with Merkel refusing and reneging on paying after agreeing.

About a year and a half ago "The Everyone's Welcome Thread" used to have over 4 times more posts than this one. Now it has about 2.5 more, so this one is catching up. By the next elections (after Trump wins again), I'm convinced they will be both neck and neck...

Find it interesting that you have rarely posted there lately (loved your scenic postings) and there is so much "bouncy bouncy" that I can post, hoping that see some soccer/postings there and also pretty sure that once Mr Iowa better the post count will be up,,,lol....

That Denny guy actually said he forgave them all, I recall him interviewed a couple years after. He had to have facial implants I believe. The criminals I do not know what happened, but they were all caught and believe prosecuted. I have a judge/prosecuter friend I need to ask him next time I see him.

That was a horrible time and I watched that live on TV too, I lived about 30 miles from that area what I call Maxines district no-mans land there. Its inside the boundaries of the curve west-SW 405 frwy - north 10 frwy - east 110 frwy in a 1/4 pie shape (180-270 degree coordinates) on a LA map. The only real straight line through is Imperial Highway, which goes through Watts. Worst most dangerous part of LA imo. Enter at your own risk.

Not even sure we can remove our troops from SK b/c of China. Maybe there will be a piece dividend we don't see yet.

Liberals Cry Free Speech For NFL Kneelers But Want Conservatives Fired For Their Opinions
http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/07/free-speech-nfl-anthem-protests-crossfit/

TL:DR, A whiny screed about people outraged over NFL's ban on protesting during a game, calling for others to be fired for expressing contrary views.

A short story of classic liberalism's regression into intolerance of contrary thoughts and Internet rage mobs.

A man sets the track record in women's 200m race. Prevents two women from competing in state finals.

Again, privileges granted by a school Gov, violate the rights of others to a fair competition.

Truly ridiculous... and totally unfair to female athletes... Why don't feminists make a big noise about it?

I doubt Trump would ever pay full expenses... unlike Obama.

GOP senator: Trump call to invite Russia to G-7 is 'weak'

Katy Tur on Trump G7 Comments: We’re Seeing Him ‘Run Directly Towards Vladimir Putin’ Katy Tur
MSNBC’s Katy Tur was pretty stunned today by President Trump talked about reinstating Russia in the group of industrialized nations now called the G-7.

He goes to "Very Fake News" CNN to tell us that?

Speaking of which, the US is a regular deadbeat at the UN for not paying its dues, thus depriving the organization of much-needed money, because obviously it is the biggest contributor.
Surprise: it's still not in the list of member countries who are up to date with their contributions to the general budget: http://www.un.org/en/ga/contributions/honourroll.shtml

Also, the US is the only country that is not committing to any effort as part of the fight against climate change.
Instead it prefers to let the rest of the world fend off for itself, in spite of being a major polluter.

The Trump administration believes Obamacare’s preexisting conditions protections are now unconstitutional
https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/6/7/17440120/obamacare-penalty-lawsuit-trump-brief

Over 130 million Americans have some pre existing condition, NOT counting the elderly. These people could have coverage denied or limited.

This isn’t getting the headlines, but they’re also going after age rating protections. These are the protections that keep insurers from charging premiums rates to older people that are more than x times what they charge the youngest adult age group. Over 50? Your premiums could skyrocket.

"Donald Trump has said he is considering pardoning the deceased boxing great Muhammad Ali. Ali was convicted in 1967 of refusing to report for military duty after being drafted into the Vietnam War. He declared himself a conscientious objector, citing religious reasons, but was sentenced to five years in prison and stripped of his heavyweight boxing crown. The comments confused some, who pointed out that the US Supreme Court overturned Ali's conviction in 1971 – just four years after he was sentenced. Ron Tweel, an attorney for Ali's wife and estate, said he appreciated the president's comments, but that a pardon was "unnecessary".

He could have skipped duty like some commanders in chief, past and present
