The announcements on Saturday of troops from hundreds of miles away in West Virginia, South Carolina and Ohio came a day after D.C. officials and the Trump administration negotiated a deal to keep Mayor Muriel Bowser’s appointed police chief, Pamela Smith, in charge of the police department after D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit to block the federal takeover of the department.

If I keep destroying the country and get people worried about a civil war, maybe nobody will talk about all the pedophile stuff, or all the tariffs stuff, or all inflation stuff, or all the Russia stuff.

    I live in a ‘town’ of less than 300 people in the mountains.

    Some dude on my dirt road hill has a big fancy gate with all these warning signs “FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT, PRIVATE PROPERTY, KEEP OUT”.

    Like dude, I’m way more afraid of the guy with no running water who built his outhouse on the front lawn and walks to it naked every day to shit, even in like -20°F. No one’s afraid of your alcoholic paranoid ass.

      It’s kinda the same principal as a small animal puffing itself up in a fight sure it could do damage but it’s still relatively harmless compared to the proper threat. The big threat isn’t the guy making himself look tough, it’s the dude who is currently trying to become one with the wallpaper at all times.
