Pappy Nappy (makes more sense if you’re British)
I won’t go too far off topic but Nugent has run afoul of the DNR on several occasions, he also has stuff pending about boars on his ranch.
He should just go back to Texas where he’s more welcome, he hasn’t been welcome here for a long while.
Borton also appears to have issues with the DNR.
I also didn’t know we had a committee on the weaponization of state government.
Idiot republicans.
Oh, it also looks like the state police did know he had a gun but looked the other way intentionally.
Nugent was invited by state Rep. Ken Borton (R-Gaylord) to testify before the members of the House Natural Resources & Tourism Committee, the House Rural Development and Natural Resources Committee and the House Oversight Subcommittee on Weaponization of State Government.
Rep. David Martin (R-Davison), one of three chairs for the meeting, said it was his intention to use the hearing to shine a light on alleged recent abuses by DNR officials. The meeting followed the Oversight subcommittee’s recent hearing on a decade-old invasive species order issued by the DNR surrounding feral pigs and allegations that the department was running covert enforcement against pig farmers and game ranch owners
Thanks for the info. Here’s to the GQP gets trounced in 2026 and the House returning to a bit of normalcy.
So is trump trying to get his birthright son (possibly named ‘barron’) deported? Was it something barron said, or rather… failed to say? and wouldn’t it be darkly_amusing if someone in the media actually asked that?
I suspect he’s about 90% poop at this point, stemming from his attempt to get out of the draft.
I’m not personally anti-hunting, but for some assholes, it becomes their whole fucking personality, and it starts to be about a kind of cruelty towards nature. It feeds into the Christian nationalist view of the the world and humanities’ place within it.
No, but I think we can learn to live in a better way, not seeing ourselves as outside of nature, but as part of it. There are certainly plenty of discourse around building a more sustainable world. I’m especially thinking of Murray Bookchin here and his theory of social ecology. It’s true that we can’t go back to some pristine environment, but we can certainly change directions and find a better way to build society. We shouldn’t let the elites fool us into the thinking that there is no alternative.
Maybe someone was asking whether T**** has assaulted as many women as Diddy?
There is also a really, really huge rift in the hunting community about public lands. There are poor hunters who genuinely hunt for food. There are moderately well-off hunters who can afford to travel (at least semi-locally) to hunt public lands. Then there are the wealthy, who own the land they hunt and actually want to be able to buy public land so that only they and their friends can hunt it.
Nugent falls into that latter category and is also, as @tcg550 alludes to, known as a poacher.
Honestly, so much of what the T**** admin has been doing alienates so much of their base that, for all the objections against it, it is very clear they don’t think there will ever be any more elections in the US.
Cripes, I hope no kids ever see those images; I had nightmares about the Hulk when I was 4 or 5, none about any of the Universal monsters at the same age - but those pix would give me night terrors had they existed back then!
If someone did ask, no way to tell if Trump would be angered just by the idea of being questioned like that or because he’d be reminded that he had assaulted fewer women than Diddy.
And yet you’ve still managed to be a decent human being! But how’s your hearing, lol?
It was my girlfriends who went to the concerts w/the guys who had the rides and the drugs. My best friend at the time from middle school & h.s. would share the leftover drugs with me and then tell me about the concert.
Wait a minute, trump claims to be a man of faith and he lies all the time. Most of the republicans claim to have faith and they lie all the time. I thought thats what being a person of faith meant, lie, lie, lie.
And trump could have terminated his life and he’s not even grateful.
Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!” In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery - The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them. They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them - A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!
Armed Black men scare them. And racists gonna racist. They just found a new way to discriminate.
Where’s my rage emoji?
Meanwhile, over at the Factory of Useful Idiots® we see this:
Fuck off Trump. Asshole.
The president’s son also addressed criticism that his family has profited from the presidency. When asked whether the White House has become another means by which is family could make money, he was adamant in his denial. “If there’s one family that hasn’t profited off politics, it’s the Trump family,” he said.
“In fact, I would sit there and say that we [would have] had many more zeros behind our name had my father not run in the first place. The opportunity cost, the legal cost, the toll it’s taken on our family has been astronomical.”
Apart from the claim in para 1 being a blatant, easily disprovable lie, and the suggestion that they’d be more wealthy if Daddy had not stood for president being laughable, I feel he may need one of these:
