The police can be stormtroopers in Spain, as there is really no right to own firearms, and everything must be licensed and each license is difficult to obtain.
Therefore the police can run amok and few can stop them. The “citizens” have no real way to fight back.
They can do that here in the US too…..once. Then the citizens can take the offensive if the need arises.
Let us hope we never get to that point here.
Seems that Paladin Press has fallen on hard times and will close after 40+ years of publishing. So long to the “most dangerous publisher in the world”.
If there is something of theirs you were thinking about buying, do it now. There will be no more orders after Nov 28th.
One wonders what some of those guys at the gunshows will sell now?
This was the first animated show ever to be broadcast in prime time.
And generation of kids watched it in reruns for DECADES.
Even after you carefully repeat your statement, then carefully rephrase it?
How do you communicate with folks like that? When they cannot overcome their biases to actually hear what you said (or wrote).
(Yes, I am referring to CP and others)
My heart bleeds for her. We’d all like to make more money at what we do.
We all gotta make choices. Sometimes it means doing what we gotta rather than what we want to do as a career. If what we want to do doesn’t pay enough, the we gotta find something that does. One does not have to be an academic.
Much like Hurricanes Katrina, the planning, response post hurricane and recovery was, to a large extent, helped or hindered by the local and state government’s competence (or lack, in some cases) (compare the recovery of Louisiana to Mississippi ferinstance).
Puerto Rico’s government has, apparently no competetence.
The aid is there, the containers are piling up by the thousands, but there are no cleared roads to take it anywhere….and there is no plan as to where to take it. No one knows what is needed, or where, and no one has planned clearing of any routes to those locations that they haven’t planned, nor have they arranged any method of transportation to get it there.
The failures here are not those of George Bush Trump, but of (again) the liberal government officials. It ain’t like this is the first time a hurricane has hit the island. What damage will happen, and where, and how much aid and where (and how) to distribute it should be an easy plan to make, really.
And while the double standard is terrible, the worse part is that the books would have been an asset to the library, but were rejected for political reasons….and just plain spite.
9 young outstanding citizens beat 12 year old boy and his parents at amusement park.
Wanna guess the melanin content of the parties involved?
A gang of animals, really. Don’t know civilized behavior. Likely raised by Grandma. Prolly no Dad at all.
Yeah, again, I know, I’m a racist for pointing this out. Stopped caring what y’all call me a while back.
This sort of shit doesn’t happen in county fairs in rural Kansas or Indiana or Oklahoma or other Red cities though. Only at or near bigger cities.
And yet, Facebook itself has done much to influence elections….Unfairly, in my opinion. And we haven’t seen any disclosure as to who else bought ads for or against candidates in any of the races in 2016…
Does George Soros get to do ads for or against a candidate? If so, why are his ads different than the “Russian” ads? How about the socialist Michael Bloomberg? How abut all the ‘Pacs(s) that have poorly defined (if at all) funding sources?
Yes, free speech applies. They are American Citizens. I got that. But still, why are they OK and some vaguely “Russian” ads not?
