You might have better luck sending it to all 500+ shell companies under Trump’s purview.

Not on purpose. But most bullets fired miss their intended target.

I wonder how much of their gear is truly made in America? I’d also like to see a picture of one of these yahoos with arrows naming and showing the cost of each item in their cosplay uniform.

That’s a very thin blue line, and he deserves a shit-ton of credit for facing them down and leading them off-track.

To their I suppose something like credit, the righty crowd tends to ask where things are made and prefers domestic. I saw a folding knife review just the other day where the guy said look, the knife is made in China, if you don’t want to buy it don’t but he’d heard all the blathering and had no time for it.

Boy remember when things that were imported had snob appeal. “Fabrique en Chine”

Somehow I don’t think these guys truly understand the lyrics in “Me and Bobby McGee”.
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’, it ain’t nothin’ honey, if it ain’t free

Not with all the whining their producing after the law arrests them.

When they’re howling like beasts in the beginning there it tells you something about how mobs work. And I’ll say this, you could give him a wheelbarrow full of gold medals and it would only be a token of what he deserves.

Are you kidding? Who do the police unions support? Why do you think virtually nobody was arrested during the Capitol insurrection? Why do you think it is taking so long to arrest those who invaded the Capitol when there are cell phone records that would identify anyone who carried a phone inside the Capitol. The police are the Trump supporters, they are the white supremacists and their enablers. Until white people face this fact, nothing will change.

MA has activated 1000 NG troops; 500 will be deployed to DC, 500 will stay local. This is all perfectly normal, right?

I was thinking more about Trump’s bringing back manufacturing, and then added in the cost of their costumes to try and understand their economic anxiety.

I said, “I live in hope”, and I do.

Trump did so well with coal too. They demolished a coal fired power plant out West.

There are a few Republicans in D.C. who may be wondering about that as they look at the Lands End catalog for business casual body armor.

Some still do. Japan is renowned for both high-tech and traditional crafts, and some where it’s blended. There’s a kitchen knife called the Masamoto KS that costs well over 400 bucks. And people with the money will pay insane prices for certain German cameras and lenses. With the exception of specialist digital cinema cameras you’ve probably never heard of if you’re not in the business, there are no high-end cameras made here. Wingnuts just don’t understand the post-industrial U.S.

And how many American made phones were they carrying?

In Guatemala, maybe. So sure. The new normal.

It’s also legal (w/o scare quotes).

No shots were fired last time when they had free run of the place and open carry. Highly unlikely they’ll shoot this time when there’s security all around them
