Well the cops lied about rifles and shields, too. It wasn't just "oh we only had pistols". They had rifles.

“If there’s kids in there, we need to go in”: Officers in Uvalde were ready with guns, shields and tools — but not clear orders
The Texas Tribune has reviewed law enforcement transcripts and footage that federal and state investigators are examining after the May 24 tragedy.

quote:

One such officer, a special agent at the Texas Department of Public Safety, had arrived around 20 minutes after the shooting started. He immediately asked: Are there still kids in the classrooms?

“If there is, then they just need to go in,” the agent said.

Another officer answered, “It is unknown at this time.”

The agent shot back, “Y’all don’t know if there’s kids in there?” He added, “If there’s kids in there we need to go in there.”

“Whoever is in charge will determine that,” came the reply.

The inaction appeared too much for the special agent. He noted that there were still children in other classrooms within the school who needed to be evacuated.

“Well, there’s kids over here,” he said. “So I’m getting kids out.”

It’s been really loving awesome to have friends who finished their SLFP without paying anything for two years.

If we are moving around population like pawns on a game board then the play is to move to purple states

Mathematically actually the game move is to go to red states, some of them like Montana would take very little population movement to completely flip.

Abortion is banned in Sweden after 18 weeks. Most European countries actually have fairly strict restrictions on abortion.

Until today, the U.S. was far more permissible on abortion than other countries. Prior to today, the U.S. was one of only 4 countries that allowed abortion for no specific reason up to the third trimester.

"It permits abortion on the request of the pregnant woman until the 18th week, and thereafter only in cases of severe indications of medical risk. After the 18th week, abortions can only be performed after an evaluation by the National Board of Health and Welfare." European countries on average will yeet out a baby at any point if it is a severe risk to the mother.

This line of thinking is exactly what lead to roe being over turned. Voting for the lesser evil that doesnt share your values is a good way to make sure the people in power don't share your values and will sell you out to stay in power.

The Dems are moving right and abandoning trans rights. That's their plan. It's a fantasy world that they're going to find some progressive savior. They have no plans because they don't care.

No, actually people voting Republican and republicans winning is what got us the current situation.

Jesus loving hell Tom Carper from Delaware is a senile old man. In this drat NATO debate dude is just talking about immigrants in Delaware, some nickels, fish food, and how Delaware is actually the first state. Dude is a senile old man rambling about random poo poo.

Watching this on C-SPAM just leaves me like :dogstare:



EDIT: HE IS TALKING ABOUT ABBA and if there is a connection between them and Queen Sylvia what the gently caress

Normal Congress people don’t get any security unless there is some sort of threat made to them that is specific enough.

Usually it’s leadership only; and the lower levels might have part time security. Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell and McCarthy have full security details.

All are provided by capitol police, not secret service.

And the Capitol Police protection for them is like "two ladies in a guest house or an unmarked car that follows them", not some big ordeal like President's get. Enough to ward off most low effort assailants, and to offer some armed response that's always available but that's it.
