#2  Forget that. Failure to even try. I see him requiring military to do door to door because he can't get the help.If they refuse then out of service they go and pay for enlistment.

#3  Dyslexia screening? Is the urban demographic unusually dyslexic? Perhaps we have discovered the reason for the generally poor kill to wounded ratio.

#4  The problem is that the Dems want to make all guns illegal. The real illegality that is going on is the assault on the 2nd amendment by an illegally constituted government.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
DOJ Says Lego Model NOT FInished
[Epoch Times] The Department of Justice has retracted its claim that it seized a "fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set" from an accused Jan. 6 Capitol breacher.

In an memorandum asking a court to order Robert Morss be held pending trial, prosecutors claimed that law enforcement officials "recover[ed] a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set" while arresting the defendant.

But in a supplemental motion, authorities said that they erred in conveying that claim.

"Please note that after a review of the photographs from the search, there appears to have been a miscommunication and that statement appears to be inaccurate. The Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search, as pictured below," they wrote.
The photograph shows a box with a picture of the Capitol on the front. Some prosecutor's first day on the job?
Should be their last
Morss and other breachers ultimately entered the Capitol through a broken window, footage showed.

Prosecutors allege that he would pose a danger to the community and present a flight risk if released.
Is he going to use his Lego airplane?
A hearing on whether to allow Morss's release is scheduled for July 13.

#1  But what about his Lionel trains?

#2  Maybe the Lego Capitol actually had been finished and was being used to plan the deconstruction of the Capitol? (Can I get a job with the Capitol Police now?)

#3  Lego pulling advertisement for law enforcement kits is exactly the kind of thing one would expect from an insurrectionist kossack toy company.

  • People in Cuba are voicing anger over shortages of basic goods and curbs on civil liberties

#2  I stumped my toe last night. Is there a way for me to get covid relief money for that?

#3  What is it about these protests that "The Biden" administration first poo-poos as a Covid dance, then Trump's Fault?

Must be some serious Anti-Commie movement going on.

#9  Cubans got fed up with the failures of Marxism and Communism.

Well, hell! I was so sure they would finally get communism right this time.

I don't want to be a Negative Nancy, but if you can't get something working after trying for a hundred years, maybe, just maybe, your initial assumptions are wrong. I recommend iterating faster like we do in the engineering world when we are "exploring the solution space". Think Elon Musk blowing up rockets right and left and ending up with cheap commercial space transport vs Virgin Galactic's recent spam-in-a-can flight. Revolt early, revolt often!

#10  Pres. Juvie-Sniffer could not be allowed to call the Cuban political prisoners-in-waiting "Insurrectionists," now, could he?

Nor could his handlers allow him to attribute the protests to reaction against an illegitimate and unpopular government.

Ergo, the space between rock and hard-place is called "The Covid."

#11  I Had That !

Went to the doctor, he looked at it, gave me some stuff... in a tube....

Ergo .... cleared up, just like that...

#8  Which means California's "teachers" will be quiet about it, but will still teach the woke garbage in place of mathematics.

#9  Ontario's provincial finances show that they've NEVER been able to do math.

'I'll keep fighting for a country that allows fools like you to have two apartments and a Tesla': Lauren Boebert
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Progressive Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
    Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
    went after 'good ol conservative values' in responding to a CPAC speech by Lauren Boebert on Saturday

  • Boebert hit back, making it personal by bringing AOC's family into the argument

  • 'Ask Abuela how that government reliance is going,' she said of the progressive lawmaker's Puerto Rican grandmother

  • Ocasio-Cortez said this sort of personal attack is proof that 'today's version of 'conservative role mode' is a person who mocks' others

  • Boebert finished the feud by lashing out at AOC posting pictures of her abuela's dilapidated house and not helping while owning two apartments and a Tesla

  • Boebert told a crowd in Dallas on Saturday that government needs to 'leave us the hell alone', and stop dolling out welfare and pushing vaccines on Americans

  • 'We don't want your benefits. We don't want your welfare. Don't come knocking on my door with your Fauci Ouchi,' Rep. Boebert said of federal government

#2  'leave us the hell alone'

That's the part the Marxists can't comprehend. They're control freaks if history teaches you anything.

Later in the day, around 12:00 noon, she broke for lunch and went to her office. She has a microwave, there and decided to use it.

#11 
To be honest AOC said, I wanted Chinese Food, but after the argument I had with closest one to my office, over them not providing me with Taco Sauce for my Spring Egg rolls, well, its OK, hope they don't have any hard feelings about it.
