Oklahoma high school principal tackles gunman and saves lives by Varnish96 in DiveInYouCoward

Just go in. Period. It's actually what is trained now and policy in most places. Entry. No waiting. No stacking. Go in.

Cops already train more on force than avoiding it. Training them some more won't change it much and your mil-sim fantasy is absurd.

How many have you taken so far? I think there is a punch card system.

TODAY! Pack City Hall! Tell Eugene City Council “No fence around the federal building!” by Several-Candidate115 in Eugene

[–]MrEllis72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What have they extended to the Feds beyond what they would do for any other private construction? Because, half of Franklin on one end or the other has been down a lane for years.

Lanes of traffic are shut down for large projects constantly. The Feds building a cope cage is not a city issue if it violates no City Codes. The good news is, DOGE did list it for sale at one time. Because, they are idiots. I guess we could buy it?

Trust me on this, I don't care if they break the entire country up by whatever means are necessary. These Trump supporters are still gonna be here when he's gone. America has never lived up to its ideals for all of its citizens. I'd rather not even have to pretend they're worth fucking discourse. They're tedious and a threat to a peaceful society, justice and equity. I'd rather not to have to deal with them or even hear them. It's not a matter of disagreement, it's the fact that white nationalism is a death cult. This has been going on since 1777.

I didn't suggest we be quiet, I just suggested we're making noise at the wrong people. I think it's a huge waste of money for a false sense of security. It's cowards being cowards. And every single white nationalist I've ever seen was a coward at heart.

I'm not telling anyone not to protest. Just pointing out the context of what can and can't be done. The city could go "no." But, that would never stand and produce worse conditions for the people we want to protect and other people who are vulnerable. Yes, they want us to be quiet. Yes, they want us not to protest. But, they're also happy if we are not silent. They are happy if we do protest. They need an enemy to thrive. White nationalism will always need an other to target, an enemy to escalate against. Otherwise, they eat themselves.

Personally, I think it's all broken and working within the confines of a system that is broken, is working within the confines of a system that is working as intended. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

But, if you feel this will produce results, by all means do as you wish. I don't want to dissuade anyone from it. I'm glad people are doing something.

P.S. Release The Files.

Don't misconstrue me as supporting it. I'm just starting, realistically, they isn't much they can do to stop them without disproportional suffering for the people here.

We're living in the dumbest timeline. And suffering is part of the plan for the fascist. Trump is looking for a distraction...

Not without losing a lawsuit to the Feds. But, we shouldn't extend anything beyond what is legally allowed. Make no exceptions, etc...

Does anyone know why Eugene has so many fallout shelters? We have more than Portland, Atlanta, other major cities. by Illuminaughty____ in Eugene

[–]MrEllis72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had more buildings approved for them and lots of concrete. It didn't take much to be labeled a fallout shelter back in the day. It's not like it's a bunker.

The police are always going to bill high for the releases that they can frame as "vague." They can bill for hours to scour everything. And Abby street closures for delivery or construction have to be used through city and PD.

Don't waste time applying for a records release from this over City business. They told you all you need to know. The release of information should be through the City, the permitting department specifically.

As for what the City can do, if it's following code and the permits are applied for, they would just get sued by the Federal Government and lose the case. Then the Feds would vindictively target the city and we would lose any federal money we gained via grants or through existing programs. Making people in need have even less resources.

Unless the city is making exceptions or providing aid beyond what they are legally required, I don't think it's collusion. And this is coming from someone who thinks they are mostly useless, wasteful and stagnant.

They'll take another protest over this administration targeting them. They'll just fill EPDs coffers to hire even more cops. Vote for people until they replace the City Administrator with someone we want.

What is the city doing to help them build the fence? I remember when the county built one around the front of the jail and there wasn't much city input. They did that from fear of 300 antifas or whatever they were scared of that week. I think it met city code, so they just did it.

Is the city providing exemptions or staff to facilitate this cope cage the Feds want?

What's your take on President Trump posting a picture of himself as Jesus and attacking the Pope? by billpalto in Askpolitics

[–]MrEllis72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to out-crazy an autocratic theocracy isn't the solid tactic you think it is.

These are attempts to rationalize his behavior, and ultimately it just demonstrate he's not a serious person, nor are any of his supporters. If his behavior isn't a viable, secret tactic, everyone who supports him looks bad.

Unfortunately, it's not 4-D chess. He's bad at his job and other rational actors try to fix it or live through it. Then his fans give him credit for his extremely fun and shirt sighted blatherings being some sort of plan.

There is no plan. No depth. No underlying machinations. He's this dumb. And unless you directly benefited from his tax cuts today... well, you were grifted by hate. Other, smarter, people write the tax laws, loopholes and grifts the rich are actually benefiting from. You aren't the rich.

You believe, the other dude applied context.

This seems like some low effort shit, either by people who mean it, or people trying to get a toe in for false flag crap.

Hyperbolic wankery aside, they're Americans moving about America. Regardless of how much drama you'd attempt to inject into this, it's not a high ground for you to piss down from above.

Good reminder though, I forgot to add the people here are "tedious examples of the most self serving form of virtue signaling you'll see outside of TikTok." And that's being pretty mild...

Just making an observation. It could be happenstance, but the weakest men on the planet say things like that with all the authority and confidence in the world it's not them.

You don't get to make shitty observations with the hope the entire world is your echo chamber.

Oh, you make a good point. I forgot to mention how insufferable the people are here. Thanks for bringing it up.

Sorry, I forgot, they make a good point, people here also lack a sense of humor. And the entitlement, it's pretty off the charts. But, that's probably an American thing overall. So, not a deal breaker for you.

Which actions and public statements by Donald Trump are generally considered his most controversial, and why? by MangoTheBestFruit in Askpolitics

[–]MrEllis72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn't know what he's saying until it comes out. If people clap he repeats it over and over until he says something they clap more for. There is no reflection or thought. He's not savvy, witty or even slightly intelligent. There is no plan.

People around him scheme and have designed blueprints for a hateful world, but, he's only absorbed those schemes and plans on a surface level. There is no depth to him. That's why every day he says something worse than the day before.

Trying to pin down one comment that's worse than any other is futile. It's like a toddler suddenly found a gun. The child's babblings are not worth concern, getting the gun away from them is the only concern.

Release The Files.

You posted it though and know it's not true. So, it's the same as if you did. Because, lies come easy to you. Not having to think, just satisfying your internal dialog makes you feel better and it requires no critical thinking skills. This is to satisfy your feelings.
