I would think there is a preponderance of evidence to bankrupt chump

I want to see criminal charges, but at this point, there should be an avalanche of civil suits, holding chump liable for injuries. He can no longer hide behind a protest that got out of control.

Trump warns 'tough' supporters could turn things 'very bad' if provoked

Remember this?
Trump warns 'tough' supporters could turn things 'very bad' if provoked

I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump," Trump said to Breitbart in an interview Monday

"I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," he said.

This is a rare case, but the youngest " mother" to give birth was 5 yrs old!

Rare extreme case of precocious puberty. I wonder what some of these folks would do if this was their daughter or granddaughter?



In the early spring of 1939, parents in a remote Peruvian village noticed that their 5-year-old daughter had an enlarged belly. Fearful that the swelling was a tumor, Tiburelo Medina and Victoria Losea took their little girl from the family’s home in Ticrapo to see a doctor in Lima.
To the parents’ shock, the doctor discovered that their daughter, Lina Medina, was seven months pregnant. And on May 14, 1939, Medina gave birth via C-section to a healthy baby boy. At 5 years, seven months, and 21 days of age, she became the youngest mother in the world.
SNIP ———
Delivery was by Cesarean section because, despite Medina’s prematurely widened hips, she probably would’ve had a difficult time passing a full-sized child through the birth canal.

If there was ever a time for Big Pharma to exercise their control over politicians, it's now.

They will go after birth control. I don’t think it’s just Plan B and IUDs. Before plan B, women took birth control pills in higher doses, and it was effective. There is nothing that we can assume that they will not do.
Millions of women take birth control. Surely, Big Pharma will not just watch their profits dwindle?

Wow, I'm actually crying. Didn't think it would hit me this hard

It really sucks to know that I do not have agency over my own body.

Besides the obvious criminality and attempt to destroy democracy

I am outraged by how much money, time and manpower was wasted on chasing conspiracy theories that chump et al knew were lies.

How many people do pitbulls kill vs guns?

I posted this in another thread for another purpose.



Must get a license:Check
Age requirement: Check
Must be securely kept :Check
We can get laws for dogs, but not guns. Where is the National Pitbull Association?


Omaha ordinance requires that if you own a dog over 6 months of age, that fits the above category, you will be required to leash, harness, and muzzle your dog whenever he is outside, unless he is in a securely fenced yard. He also needs to be under the control of someone 19 years or older. In order to license such dogs, you must be 19 years old and show proof of $100,000 liability coverage.

How about requiring gun owners to carry insurance?

We are now at the point where guns kill more children than cars. The more lethal the weapon, the higher the insurance. Just like sports cars cost more to insure than a Corolla.
If there is a shooting at a business, the business may get sued. How about making gun owners bear some of the financial burden?
Some may argue that all gun owners shouldn’t have to bear the cost because of what some may do, but that applies to all types of insurance. No?

Some of those children were decapitated

As per Uvalde MD. Let that sink in. I can’t get that out of my mind. I know the damage an AR 15 does, but the thought of a child being decapitated is just too much.
Right to lifers that support people having weapons of war should be reminded of that every time. All the politicians should be asked why someone carrying around war machines is more important than children being decapitated. If they are going to defend their rights, they need to defend the ugliness of their rights.
