3. From my self defense class: never engage. Don't answer any questions. Don't talk. Anything you say will

be used against you. They aren’t interested in your answers or having a conversation. It lets bad guy move in close to hurt you.

Scream fire. Better response than calling for help.

Call 911 immediately for kidnapping.

Take photos if you can.

Get their dna if you can.

Sit down, make them carry you.

Don’t obey in advance.


This ^ is the only thing that may work given the photos I have seen of the tugboats that inhabit DUmmie underground.  :o

Swallwell is handsome? For Washington D.C. standards, perhaps, but that's an awfully low bar.

Batra said the people who arrested her did not have visible badges nor were they wearing uniforms.

But they were, in fact, duly sworn officers of the law.

Another ICE outrage:

Last month, Meenu Batra, 53, who has lived in the South Texas border colonia of Laguna Heights since 2002, was on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to work another case. She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide, where she’s contracted to help people making their way through the immigration court system, just as she did for herself 35 years ago when she immigrated from India to New Jersey before settling in Texas.

She planned to meet with her adult children in Austin after the Wisconsin trip, the only difference she foresaw in an otherwise typical trip. Her routine for years included flying from either Harlingen or Brownsville to far-flung parts of the country where South Asian immigrants needed language access. For this trip, the flight was out of Harlingen.

But, around 5 p.m. on March 17, Batra was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents after passing through security at Harlingen International Airport. In a sworn deposition that was filed as part of a petition for habeas corpus—a legal request to be released on the grounds that the detention is unlawful—Batra said the people who arrested her did not have visible badges nor were they wearing uniforms. One of those agents had asked Batra if she knew she was in the country illegally and that she had a deportation order. She replied that her work authorization status, which she applied for regularly after being granted a legal status called withholding of removal by a New Jersey immigration judge decades ago, was good for another four years.

“That doesn’t mean you can be here forever,” the agent replied. Two more plainclothes agents would join the two that detained her, bringing her down the escalator and to the front of the airport.

We're just deporting the worst of the worst, right?

IIRC, Clinton added a significant Federal tax on diesel, because trucking was too profitable (putting it scarcastically).

I didn't know about the Clinton tax. Not shocked. I've known several independent haulers who simply could not afford to be sick. If the truck was idle a few weeks, their reserve money disappeared. The tax burden placed on 18 wheelers is unbelievable.
It's just like some life-long, candy-ass politician to say and believe bullshit like that. Clinton may not be able to comprehend that when the money doesn't cover the bills, we can't just raise taxes. But we don't have to live with Hillary. So, it evens out.

While in high school I noticed that many beautiful girls were also unpleasant stuck-ups or just b@#$hes, I never built those few observations into stereotypes.

My guess is, the Libs are better at condemning or defending the individuals in question by creating  groups with loosely similar traits. The more people in these mailable and convenient groups, the more vagueness the can apply, and less specific are their arguments. This is important when they don't really grasp the situation in question
Add some inner-circle encouragement (and mix in a little THC) and it becomes their definition of a medical fact that's questioned only by knuckle draggers lacking the sophisticated comprehension only found on the left. No need to entertain our concerns.
I think that thought process is somewhat useful when running from public debate while retaining aloofness

Trump is exposing the failures of Democratic Party "governance", and for that, they despise him.

To borrow a line from fictional surgeon B.F. 'Hawkeye' Pierce, "I hope it's a long and healthy hate".

Washington D.C. Homicides Plunge 52 Percent As National Guard Deployment Changes City's Crime Landscape

It's amazing what happens when criminals get taken off the streets quicker and for longer. Who could have foreseen that?
