Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
the good thing is, if a court were ever to find trump guilty of a crime, he'd be done with him forever.

I remember very little of the declaration of independence except He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

dumping a liquid on someone that is literally holding and presently operating a high pressure liquid dispenser just 2 feet from your face seems to be the least well thought out attack possible.

Mass shooting version 8.27.2025
what a bizarre chart. here it is broken down by race. also, let's throw in a random demographic that i want to demonize. i note that you don't have, say, 'male' as the random demographic. or 'child of gun owners' or other demographic that you want to <3.

Mass shooting version 8.27.2025
Shot up a bunch of Catholic school kids at their Wednesday mass. 2 dead. Add the Facebook thoughts and prayers to the thoughts and prayers they were doing as they were shot. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08/27/us/minneapolis-church-shooting An assailant fired a rifle through the windows of a Catholic church in Minneapolis where students were celebrating their first Mass of the new school year on Wednesday, killing an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old in the pews and injuring 17 others, the police said. The attacker then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the rear of the church, the Minneapolis police chief, Brian OāHara, said at a news conference. Of the 17 people injured, 14 were children, the chief said. Two were in critical condition, he said. The shooting, at about 8:30 a.m. Central time, took place at the Annunciation Catholic Church, which has a school for children from prekindergarten through eighth grade. Monday was the first day of school, and the all-school Mass on Wednesday is an annual tradition. Investigators have identified the attacker as Robin Westman, 23, who is believed to have been a former student at the school, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. The suspectās mother is a retired school employee, the official said. Ellie Mertens, 25, a youth minister at the church, said she was sitting with children in the pews when bullets started ripping through the windows. The shooting lasted for about 2 minutes, she said. āI was just feet away from this window where it was,ā Ms. Mertens said in an interview. āThe pew saved my life.ā Chief OāHara said that at least two doors of the church had been barricaded from the outside. The shooter, who was in his early 20s, also fired a shotgun and a pistol, he said. āChildren are dead, there are families that have a deceased child; you cannot put into words the gravity, tragedy or absolute pain of the situation,ā Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis said at the news conference. Mr. Frey, a vocal advocate for stricter gun laws, added: āDonāt just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.ā Hereās what else to know: Witness accounts: Inside the Hennepin County Medical Center emergency room, where multiple victims were taken, Zaākhia Jones, 29, was with her fiancĆ©e when she saw children who appeared to be bloody being rushed in. āOne kid came in and they had rushed her into a room and she was just screaming she didnāt want to die,ā Ms. Jones said in an interview. Read more āŗ Minnesota violence: The attack was the fourth deadly shooting in the city in just over 24 hours. And the Twin Cities area was rattled in June when a gunman assassinated a state lawmaker and her husband and left another lawmaker and his wife hospitalized with gunshot wounds, setting off a two-day manhunt. Governor responds: Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota expressed support for the school community in a statement. āIām praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence,ā Mr. Walz said. Trump: President Trump spoke with Mr. Walz by phone, a White House official said. Mr. Trump wrote on social media that the White House would continue to monitor the situation, and later signed a proclamation ordering that flags nationwide be lowered to half-staff until Sunday in tribute to the victims.

Boo. Lutkenhaus signs with Nike. Good for him, of course, but his UIL days are over. I was looking forward to seeing him be a 4x gold medalist in the 800. https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a65881486/cooper-lutkenhaus-professional-contract-nike/

Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
i think it is just cro-magnon marketing. go look at public issue polling on wanting someone that "gets things done" "cuts through red tape" "is a strong leader." those always poll high.

Trump puts Washington police under federal control, National Guard to be deployed
the problem with the right wing is they spend all their time devoted to ideology in order to avoid accidentally feeling empathy for their victims. look, i'm sorry that the kids are going to starve, but we can't afford to teach fourth graders they can rely on handouts. look, no one likes school shootings, but that's the price we have to pay to keep from having an oppressive government appear. then when their ideology is violated, they just stop caring about that ideology at all. oppressive government? c'mon, its just a few unmarked police stooges jumping out of cars grabbing people off streets and taking them to something that is explicitly a concentration camp, fully videoed so that there is no doubt about the factual accuracy of this claim, directly at the request of the president to have national troops patrolling the streets. a little oppression is the price we have to pay to keep from not having a little oppression. the whole 'leopards eating faces' thing is complete bullshit. it will never happen to them. all they have to do is say i ā¤ļø dear leader and they will always be safe from the oppression; in fact, they will be rewarded. and because they have all the empathy squished out of them, everything is totally fine. all at the low low price of giving up on any of the principles set forth 250 years ago.
