It was a classic case of suspect was going for my taser until video to the contrary came out.

I really want some judge to point out that if dudes in Syria and poo poo can upload fully sick 4k ultra HD footage of them magdumping AKs into sand dunes, then police have zero excuse to not be able to operate a body camera in suburban America.

Meanwhile, if you are upset about how godless liberals have prevented god-fearing folk from engaging in political activity, fear not! Our godly president has just signed an order lifting most of the restrictions on churches engaging in political activity.

I wonder if this is why Liberty University has been falling over themselves to host him at any and all opportunities.

Opiates are a pretty serious problem.

Let's stop fighting them!!!

quote:

On Friday, Politico's Dan Diamond reported that the White House will gut funding for the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the executive branch agency coordinating efforts to fight the opioid epidemic that has swept through rural areas of America over the last few years.

Diamond reports that Trump's proposed 2018 budget would slash funding for the office by 95 percent, drastically cutting staff and eliminating a program that helps communities fight addiction at the local level.


The war on drugs is a yuge success, the biggliest. Winningest even, tremendous. Wow.

Lol that the only school Trump could conceivably talk at was Liberty U, which had a compulsory attendance policy for the ceremony with the threat of kicking people out for booing.

A christian for profit (?) school owned by Jerry Falwell lol

Non-profit, surprisingly. Which is interesting considering Liberty is constantly buying up property in Lynchburg and always building new stuff. You come into town and it's cranes all over the place putting together dorms and apartments and poo poo for the school. Not for other people of course, school use only.

This is also the same school that has brownshirts wandering town looking for rule violators. I had one stomp up to me in a parking lot and demand my papers so he could give me demerits for swearing in public.

Because everyone in Lynchburg is a Liberty student, you see. :downs:

Pretty sure that reply short circuited his brain.

I've never heard of someone actually attacking them though. I suspect if someone did it'd get all Waco real quick. There's also the kind of person that Liberty attracts to consider as well. But yeah there's folks who have the job to ensure the students are adhering to the ~*values and virtues*~ of the school even off campus. poo poo like seeing an R rated movie = demerits, etc.

Just think of how much someone has to suck to look at all of the other universities in Virginia and say, "I want to go to Liberty."

Yeah they're usually locals from nearby counties. The folks I knew that went there were all crazy eyed before, now they're that creepy dead crazy eyed, all glazed over and fake smiles that bear way too many teeth. For a while I dated somebody before they enrolled and they would quietly sing hymns to themselves after we fooled around so yeah, Stable As gently caress. Same person later conned myself and a mutual friend into Liberty's "Scared straight!!!... TO JAYSUS!" haunted maze bullshit. Lotta familial pressure in those kids, full on "if you venture past the county line you're kin no longer!!" and "I built you a house behind mine now make with the grandchildren no you don't get a say in this I'm your father" poo poo. Kinds of families with five, maybe six generations under one roof and always pridefully talk how it's a good thing that nobody has left in a century.

Accurate. Also they got rid of the Sonic's and put yet another loving car wash in its place :argh: The last time I was in Lynchburg I got home just as the sun was going down and there were dogs in the street and a shitload of cars at one of the five churches in town. None of the street lights were on, none of the lights in the houses were on either, but the church sure was lit up and the marquee outside read "God loves you whether you like it or not!"

Some idiot from my idiot high school wanted to be a biological engineer but didn't believe in evolution, so he went to Liberty University. He was a weird gently caress who dropped off all social media years ago so unfortunately I can't see how his life plan collapsed immediately and he had to enlist as infantry.

Sounds right. I know it's lovely to assume somebody ended up X way because they went to Y school, but all the Liberty graduates I know are complete dumpster fires. Like full on living in Squalor Holler with four kids, a fifth on the way, and wanting to move into the hills away from society with no contact with the outside and no indoor plumbing and poo poo.

I mean drat I may have hosed my life up flatter than hammered poo poo but I'm not yearning for the heady joys of gravity toilets and raising half a dozen children while working three minimum wage jobs.

Course the only reason this person is married is because her then boyfriend got her pregnant and if they didn't get hitched her dad would've full on murdered him and gotten away with it clean on account of "The brown impregnated my pure nubile white daughter and I, a certified Good 'ol Boy, am fulfilling my duty!". Being related to the sheriff is just a bonus. Her parents met when her dad was doing community service for stealing an air conditioner and saw her on the side of the road playing with dolls and was all nice. :banjo:

This is the kind of region where people can't have anyone else bad mouth it, swear up and down its great, but then in the next breath pray that their kids never return leaving you to wonder if it's because they know deep down there's nothing for them here or because it'd interfere with their day drinking. Heavy Trump country too when shitloads of people are alive because of the ACA. Same people that burn down five cigarettes in an hour while telling you about their adventures with cancer.

"If we're just substituting one opioid for another, we're not moving the dial much," he said. "Folks need to be cured so they can be productive members of society and realize their dreams."

The tough-talking, cowboy hat-wearing firebrand said in an interview with WISN-AM talk radio host Vicki McKenna that he will work in the Office of Partnership and Engagement as a liaison to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies. He will start in June.
