Things that annoy me (3 Viewers)

The Supermarket today looked like the end of days, people buying several cases of water along with milk, bread, eggs and the most popular item, toilet paper.

All I can figure is people get dehydrated from shoveling, have a craving for french toast and then have to run to the bathroom afterward...................

too much French toast will do that to you...

The same four Capitol Hill police officers showing up at every single congressional hearing. There must have been hundreds of officers there on Jan. 6 but only these four guys ever show up and get on camera. They were sitting front and center at the hearing today. One guy went nuts and had to be escorted out. Regardless of political affiliation, this must seem strange to most people. Where are all the other officers?

Just think about how quickly things will break down when there is a real emergency and not just a snowstorm. The stores will be empty within hours. Almost no one has the ability to survive more than a few weeks without access to groceries and power.

To me the behavior is beyond idiotic. I have no idea after reading multiple articles what set the guy off other than someone on the opposite side attempted to introduce himself to initiate a conversation and if the audio is correct, it was not done menacingly. Apparently, in the chamber at recess the former officer uttered obscenities and then advanced whereby the current police quickly braced the guy and escorted him out. Just plain ugly scene and really not necessary in that forum.

Come one come all...visit beautiful Minnesota...Full of outdoor adventure and charm…

Deputy White House Chief of Staff...Stephen “Nosferatu” Miller...addressing ICE says...

“You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one...no city officials, no state officials, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist...can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties.”

Not only do you have full immunity to use as much unnecessary force as you want...but ICE won’t even share any case information with the city/state…justice for all...lol...

The guy is on the ground...he’s not going anywhere...so 3 ICE officers hold this guy down while one shoots a couple of ounces of pepper spray 4”s into his face…

This photo says enough...whatever this guy did...is this really necessary or has this ICE Officer just having a bad day...more than a little excessive...but don’t forget...ICE has immunity...

I am sorry, but I have ZERO sympathy for PAID protestors, and it doesn't take a lot of research to verify most of this. Of course, not all are, but the paid ones and firms of that ilk are PAID to stoke the fires and get people to these protests. I also believe that the violence is caused by the abuse herein.

I AM ALL FOR FREE SPEECH AND RIGHT TO PROTEST, however IMO it is being abused, manipulated and if you remove that agitation, maybe you don't have incidents.

As far as what you just posted, non lethal force. I have no sympathy nor do I really care about what happens to these waste of space paid people that are IMO wasting oxygen that could be better used by others.

I do not view the right to peacefully protest as interfering with law enforcement operations which is arguably what a lot of these encounters are. IT is NOT a right to interfere, there is zero protection for that. I view it as certifiable idiocy that is causing incident after incident and the chips are going to fall where they do . FAFO.

I got it...you condone that right...If they could of just been as peaceful as the Jan 6th Capitol protestors right? Makes sense to me...lol...

Getting pretty sick of you twisting my words and intent for your own purposes. You can LOL all you want, but I am never going to be on board with paid idiots who incite incidents no matter what cause or side they are on. I am honestly a very black and white guy and I support policies not people.

Would suggest you stop with the constant mantra. We know (the entire board) knows you don't like this administration. There are plenty of outlets for that and this is not it.

Tom...well...I'm not on board with your agenda either...and you can "FAFO" me all you want...pretty crass...but we all know what that means...talk about mantras...almost every post you make runs down what you always refer to in some form or another as the "maniacal crazy left wing radical paid insurrectionist"...it got old real quick...yet you openly and directly criticize me for having a different opinion...the entire board on here knows you admire this administration...I don't...America has never been in worse shape...

Honestly, do you think FAFO was directed at you? Again, I am posting nothing toward you, it was a conclusive statement based on my own opinion with the facts of the subject? What are you reading honestly??? These idiots who are interfering with law enforcement are FAFO. Just add ing to the two F's. And no, that is not crass, it is a direct summation of what is happening on more fronts than the situation with ICE.

And for another point, quit putting words in my mouth, it is getting old. I don't support any administration with blanket support. All of my posts reflect what I like and what I don't. Nobody has NOR ever will accuse me of being wishy/washy, I always to my own benefit and detriment state exactly where I stand. I am about the most black and white person you will ever meet, I have no middle ground. Never have, never will, I believe in a definitive purpose and that is how I live.

Regarding your comment on America - I disagree with that opinion. Right now as it has and IMO will always be the greatest country in the world with the most opportunity, you just have to go grab it. Those that do will be rewarded with freedom and a life I wouldn't trade for anything. America rewards intelligence, hard work, technical expertise and knowing your craft whatever that is from manual labor to IT. There is plenty of success here and that is why everyone has been flooding our borders since I was born. The only faction who doesn't "like" America are Fundamentalist Terrorists and unfortunately our own "Free Press".

I'm not putting anything in your mouth......I love America...my entire life I have been proud of our leadership...has always been the greatest country in the world...well respected...not anymore...we are a joke now...don't Colbert/Kimmel me for my beliefs...let me have my opinion...just as I let you...

I don't see anything in my posts not letting you have an opinion; it is a free country (another reason the USA is a wonderful place). ON this subject, I have a different opinion.

And I see you used a Colbert/Kimmel reference. Let's review a fact here - Colbert's show was hemorrhaging money. His ratings were down, advertising sales were down, so they made a decision to wind up the show over time. Now, those are financial facts, they are out there, but unfortunately, it is a better "story in print" to say a President was the reason you were cancelled? Really, b/c if I have followed along, most of Colbert's jokes and material centered around this President, so is one to assume without this President he has no show? But of course the real facts in the story were actually rather boring - Financially the show was in the red, ie losing a large amount of money. No one cancelled him, it was his own performance, in other words, like any other employee who underperforms, the network moved on. It happens every single television season, shows get cancelled regardless of content, it is all about the financial performance as it should be, these networks don't run on fumes, they require lots of cash. Colbert didn't produce enough and the published numbers on his show were some of the highest expenses across the entire network, that is saying something when you think about the different types of shows, etc.

as Trump hates to be ridiculed...Kimmel...Stewart and Meyers are definitely his next targets...forget freedom of speech...but truthfully...he's such an "easy target"...apparently it keeps him up all night posting on social media...

and much cheaper for CBS to drop Colbert...than paying off more 16 million dollar bribes like CBS paid to Trump so he won't block future mergers...probably on the phone with Brandon Carr 3 times a day...there's always Fox...

People who take selfies at the movie theatre. Saw two different groups do this recently. It is apparently such an important life event that it has to be memorialized. I do wonder where these inane photos end up.

iPhone zombies are everywhere. Folks stumbling about glued to their screens, oblivious to their surroundings, it’s beyond sad, it’s an addiction…….

We are now in the 12-18 inch snow range for this weekend with "subzero" temps. If the power goes out, it's going to be a real party - as in the Donner party. I have dig out "The Shining" and "The Thing."
