The turret on the little tank is too big.
Glad they came. Happier that theyâre not the focus of the coverage.
In Canada, we do love a kilted pipe band; they make a lot of noise and seem to take up a lot of space.
A nice parade vĂdeo. Please notice the drone, probably a chinese one.
From the second link, âShows of Weaknessâ:
An interesting moment happened during this little show. Thereâs this awful woman named Nancy Mace who serves in the House on behalf of the unfortunate people of South Carolina, and Iâm sorry to make you aware of her if you werenât already. She used her time to grill one of the governorsâTim Walz of Minnesotaâwith the following question, which left Walz momentarily nonplussed.
What is a woman?
This is a pretty standard question from the type of bigot that Nancy Mace is. Itâs meant to erase the existence of trans women, who are being especially targeted for cruelty and exclusion by the birthday boy and all his little minions. The question is asked to attempt to enforce the askerâs own narrow definitions, and then to accuse anyone who refuses to accept those restrictions of sexism and bigotry. This is what the sexist bigot Nancy Mace did, at which point, her job done, she yielded her time, leaving Walz blinking.
Walz might be forgiven for being taken aback; the question seems like a complete non sequitur in the context, which was a House Oversight Committee session on immigration policy. However, as I say, itâs a very standard question among the birthday boyâs crowd, so I think it would be good if everyone who might be asked questions by such types had an answer prepared.
Iâd like to furnish an answer to the question.
Question: What is a woman?
Answer: A woman is not a what. A woman is a who.
Iâd observe that once you ask who is a woman, you get billions of different wonderful and extraordinary answers, but you no longer get to police which women get to keep their humanity, and to what degree.
So a good person with a gun shot twice at a bad person carrying a with a semiautomatic gun, striking the bad person along with an innocent bystanderâwho was killed?
Once again, itâs guns that are the problem (along with the dipshits who carry).
My god what a good answer. Filing that away for future reference.
I hate to say it, but this might have prevented a much worse outcome. It sounds like the guy with the AR was preparing to shoot into the crowd. We will never know, but i tend to give some slack to the security guy. And point out that even well trained personnel miss pretty frequently, especially with handguns. This is not really an issue if your target is âthat crowd.â Very big problem if your singular target is not alone. Horrible situation all around. I think it would have been much worse had these guys not intervened. That said, the lack of (cop) violence at these protests was a refreshing change.
A guy firing a military assault rifle in the middle of a dense crowd could have killed and maimed hundreds of people. Like that Las Vegas concert shooter.
More information is needed to determine if the actions of the security person were reasonable under the circumstances. But if someone were pointing an assault rifle at me - Iâd certainly try to stop them.
When it becomes even more apparent that the murderer Vance L. Boelter was a big-time trump supporter, the question of proper congressional(? hah) outrage if trump issues him a pardon rises.
Dem Assassin Is âStrong Trump Supporterâ Best Friend Reveals
UNHINGED
Alleged shooter Vance L. Boelter sent a warning message to his roommate before he disappeared.
Updated Jun. 15 2025 1:48PM EDT
The suspected assassin who ambushed a Minnesota state senator and lawmaker in a deadly attack was a âstrongâ supporter of President Donald Trump, his roommate revealed.
David Carlson told reporters Saturday that suspected killer Vance L. Boelter voted fro the MAGA president last year. The revelation came after Republicans such as Elon Musk painted Boelter, who was appointed to Governor Walzâs Workforce Development Board in 2019, as a violent leftistâdespite his pro-life views and his plans to target dozens of Democratic leaders. âŚ
Yeah, that was a good way to think about the question, I agree.
Far as I can tell, numbers produced from their posterior. Itâs about twice the provisional crowdsourced figures from âStrength In Numbersâ (who detail their methodology and data sources) who put it in the 4-6 million range and the event organizers themselves who claimed 5 million nationwide. âAlt National Parksâ is run by unknown people and their completely unsourced assertions really canât be trusted, as much as Iâd like to think theyâre correct here.
Melaniaâs face is giving âif I breathe through my mouth I wonât cry,â and the guy on the left looks like heâs wondering if the flag in his pocket can double as an air freshener. Itâs giving Febreze canât fix this. Neitherer can Lysol.
The two dudes behind him look like the fart hit them mid-inhale and they are desperately trying not to spiritually ascend out of their bodies. Their eyes are locked in a thousand-yard stare, calculating the half-life of whatever just escaped Trumpâs Depends. Both of them look like theyâve smelled the end of the Republic and itâs⌠warm. And wet.
