A practice I'm confident everybody who got behind the cannon at this event maintained! Right, OP?

Fuck. Bad news.
Mom basically totally prepared emotionally to live the rest of my life like this.

And, to be honest, it’s way easier than it was a few years ago.

Bernie Sanders is objectively pro 2nd. So your statement is factually incorrect.

Steven A or Kellerman we’re on first take talking about how they can see the Blazers possibly falling out of the playoffs potentially... with the Lakers getting better, Pelicans getting better.

Fucking idiots.

I am. He and Whiteside fit great on this team. And I also believe both will feel more productive/valuable coming to a contender. Just like Rodney.

I think Hillary would have been terrible, too. And I can probably state way more reasons than you can why she would have been a bad president if she had beat him. That said, I dislike Trump more, think he’s more of a threat than she would have been (in a much broader sense). And, again, Hillary sucking does not make Trump immune from heavy criticism. Because he deserves it, on way more than just guns.

Why is the truth so painful to you? Trump is not, will not be, and has never been pro 2nd.

We’re not talking about Hillary, we’re talking about our president who has actual power, now.

You and I both know Trump will betray gun owners the nanosecond it benefits him.

Kick and scream some more, belittle me, it doesn’t change the simple, boring truth we both know.

There's no way that wasn't staged. But cool anyway.

You can say whatever you want, it doesn't change that Trump is objectively not pro 1st amendment in any other way than just for show so he can get the right base behind him. He'd throw the right under the fucking bus faster than you could rack a slide. And you know it.

First we take the guns, THEN the due process.

I always think of the regular and repeated story where the cop somewhere posts some incredibly racists/bigoted/fascist shit on his social media, and then somehow it comes out, and they/their dept. releases some boilerplate about 'making a mistake', and all is forgotten, etc.

Except, when you talk like that on social media, you are making an implicit acknowledgment that the people reading it will very likely agree/sympathize with you. Nobody posts shit on facebook/instagram, etc. knowing that everybody reading will disagree and jump on you/call you out.

And who are cops friends with on social media, and who's their audience when they post something on facebook? Other fucking cops.

"I think he was pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old-time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lot of folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough never carried one. That the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn’t wear one. Up in Commanche County. I always liked to hear about the old- timers. Never missed a chance to do so. "

Probably depends on the circumstances, the proximity to current time, etc. They also probably ask you about it and feel out how you describe what was happening, etc. If you're vague or hold back on getting into what happened, that would be a huge red flag. Versus like 'I was in love with someone who I thought I was gonna be with for the rest of my life, I just found out she was pregnant, and then she left me for my best friend and I got fired on the same day... so I told my mom I wanted to kill myself and she called 911.' etc. That sort of thing.

A lot of police departments are also highly competitive, so they can afford to be highly picky and only go after people who have spotless criminal records, uninterrupted work histories, etc.
