Minnesota lawmakers shot by person impersonating as a police officer *Update—2 killed*
Looks like the cops should have just followed her to her meeting with him, then bagged them both.

Trump’s America
I am happy as hell that trump's party turned into a bust, but I am unhappy that it came at the expense of the Army. This should have been a celebration for a fighting force that has done so much for our country. Yes, there's good and bad in the history of its use, but the Army has protected us from the likes of Jeff Davis, Tojo, and Hitler. It should have been able to celebrate without the celebration being highjacked by the orange clown. Happy Birthday, Army!

June 14th - 'No Kings' Mass Protest
Yesterday at the Capitol was the first major protest that I have attended. I walked in a couple of small marches here in Navasota, but nothing big. I was impressed by how many old foggies like me I saw there, how many vets I saw, and how many American flags there were. Everyone was peaceful but determined and involved. And I loved the range of signs. "I'd call him a cunt, but he lacks warmth and depth" "I'm a fat bitch and I'm here to sit on some fascists" "Chinga tu MAGA" "Chinga tu Muro" "No person is illegal" It was inspiring. Now I have to get more involved back here at home.

The assassin picked the wrong state to kill opposition legislators. Had he done it in Texas, hot wheels would have already pardoned him.

"Excuse me, sir. Where's the nearest Esso station?" I don't really recommend that, though.

Good critique. Thanks. How about Front: For America! For The Constitution! For Liberty! Back: No Kings! No Tyrants! No Trump!

Johntay Cook dismissed from the football team.
When I was in high school I volunteered at a camp for children with learning disabilities one summer. I helped kids work on hand/eye coordination and they sent a large guy over to work alongside me. At first I didn't recognize him, but then one of the moms asked for his autograph. It was then Major League player and Brenham baseball legend Cecil Cooper. He was extremely nice and loved working with the kids.

Thank you, good sir. That is useful information. With the advances in technology in the last 5 years and the trump admin collecting all data for Palantir, I am under no illusion that my identity or that of my wife are safe, even with the precautions recommended in the article. I'll take what comes. I have no choice.

My wife and I will be at the Austin protest at the Capitol. It's the only way to actively resist trump's stupidity right now.

Parents charged with involuntary manslaughter after their child is struck and killed by a car (they let him walk home alone)
I grew up in Brenham in the 70s. When TABC started cracking down on underage kids buying beer at the convenience store for Papa, Muti, Opa, or Oma, a lot of those Germans lost their shit. I lived down the street from the TABC guy, and some of the Germans would stop in the middle of the street and give him hell while he was working in his yard. It was hilarious to see a dude from Lufkin take a cussing out in German, trying to figure out what he was being called.

That's basically my plan.

Texas -- a failed state
I ain't scared of some discomfort, and I plan to have a gallon of water and Liquid IV with me to fend off heat illness for my wife and me.

Texas -- a failed state
Personally, I wish that I could react that way. Shooting, moving, and communicating to destroy a threat is more fit to my training, and much easier. But that won't get this mission accomplished, and the mission is everything. Maybe another day, but not Saturday.

Texas -- a failed state
Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly, my service was 40 years ago, and I no longer have any of my uniform. Not that it would fit, even if I did have it. I will get a nice USMC cap for the event, though. I am fully prepared to be beaten without resisting, but I don't know how I would handle my wife being struck. I have to prepare more for maintaining my discipline in such a case.

Texas -- a failed state
I guess this is as good a place as any to ask my questions. My wife and I are going to the No Kings rally in Austin Saturday. We've been to a couple of small town marches, but never anything like this. We're going to make signs, and I'm going to carry an American flag, maybe the Marine Corps colors, too, for good measure. Should the signs be on sticks, or just hand held? I want them seen, but don't want them to be falsely labeled as weapons. What supplies should we bring? I'm bringing water for hydration and some old t-shirts to wet and use if tear gas gets tossed. What else do I need to bring? Thanks for the suggestions on how to dress. We'll definitely look like the respectable old farts that we are.

Nope. Boomer "officially", but they keep moving the date frame. I have more in common with Gen X, though.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Old guy talk incoming. You've been warned. When I was a kid both of my parents were teachers. My dad worked various jobs during the summer to make ends meet while my mom stayed home with us. Usually he or my mom were working on graduate degrees as well. Every day, including weekends, was the same: get up and eat breakfast, then my mom would put us out of the house saying, "Be back in when the street lights come on. Don't come back in before that unless someone is bleeding or dieing." Our city had a low cost summer program with swimming instruction, Red Cross Lifesaving classes, theater, crafts, and other sports and activities. In the mornings we would go to these, then run amok frm noon until dark. It was fabulous. And other than the fact that I post here, we turned out almost normal and nearly civilized.

At full TO&E, a battalion is 811 strong. With transfers, separations, leave, and illness/injuries, it can be much lower.

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
Look, I'm really not trying to dog on you, but having the US Military, be they active, reserve, or National Guard, kill or injure even one US citizen exercising their Constitutional rights is unacceptable. Kent State and the other instances are not "a decent track record". I say this as a US Marine, currently not in an active status. I know how I was trained and what my duty is. Harming US citizens exercising their rights is not part of that duty for me or anyone else in the military.

What the fuck do you think those rifles, pistols, machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars are for?
