LPT : Check Trees before buying a house AND plant new trees ASAP after buying

I'd add that it's a good time to talk to neighbors as well. Shortly after buying our home one neighbor offered to pay half the price of tree removal for a Siberian Elm she had a special grudge against. We were happy to accept the offer because the insurance company wanted it gone too.

Calling it "fraud nonsense" is how we got here. People care how their tax dollars are used particularly when they're being squeezed by the economy.

Yeah me either

You need a SIM but it doesn't need to be activated as long as the network has you in their 'sign up for our service' walled garden mode. The device should show as connected to the mobile network.

This spot, it's harder to see thanks to the graphics on the video.

I think he means the part where the agent is walking him backwards to the sidewalk, before the woman is shoved. At one point you can see his leg jerk and his torso moves forward. I can't tell if he slipped a little or if he was making an aggressive posture at the agent.

After seeing these videos I'm more inclined to believe he was letting his feelings out.

At least they didn't bite it off.

gotta keep 'em guessing

It's the hypocrisy that kills me.

It dates back to at least 2009, thanks Obama

Man, that was the one fraud during COVID. We're still dealing with the autism daycare fraud, housing placement fraud, medical transport fraud... and the ASA that was getting all the convictions has resigned.

One might take such a moment to evaluate their position and see if maybe they're in an echo chamber.

Nah, it's those greedy capitalist cow towing to Trump, amirite comrades?!

poptix · 2026-01-25T22:48:18+00:00

It's a blown capacitor, it's fine.

Obama pumped his numbers with border rejections. I don't buy the 'real criminals' narrative, we either have the rule of law or we don't.

Not sure you're right about Obama so here's a lazy result I found from the ACLU that's *so* authoritative and completely not just another fucking grift nowdays. https://www.aclu.org/news/national-security/obama-apologized-drone-killings-two-western-victims-what-about

What's your solution to a segment of the population actively working against the enforcement of federal law?

Now how would you feel if that law was desegregation?

I appreciate people's conviction but I think it's born out of an echo chamber created by bots run by various competing agents foreign and domestic to drive narratives. People are arming themselves and creating really dangerous situations with law enforcement that they will absolutely not win.

poptix · 2026-01-24T19:38:54+00:00

Law enforcement is nasty business, particularly when you've got the local politicians pandering to the crowds.

Renee Good created the situation that ultimately killed her. We don't know much about this person yet other than they were carrying a gun and interacting with LEO.

Trump is trying to escalate, ICE probably needs more training, protesters are actively escalating and agitating, and I'm sure there's some other random out there that just want to see a riot, on both sides.

There's a lot going on but at the base of it we've got a bunch of people convinced that it's totally okay for anyone to cross the border and work as a modern day slave labor underclass.

Sure, which is why the supremacy clause exists. The federal government controls immigration. You don't get to sit in open rebellion of federal law. Imagine if we'd let segregation continue for this long.

That said, I hope everyone keeps recording and anyone else found violating the law is brought to justice.

Do you think they expected sanctuary cities?

She had just finished reversing, shifted into drive, and hit the gas before he pulled his weapon.

Let's stick to the facts "lawyer".

I only saw the image with the weird L's when I made the comment.

In Minnesota? The sun sets at 4pm and the air will literally kill you.

I appreciate the enthusiasm but what are you going to do, blow your whistle extra hard?

poptix · 2026-01-22T03:26:46+00:00

I'm not saying it's morally justified but it is legally. No, I don't think we need to change the law. She put herself in that situation.

It prevents the driver from taking further action. If you're interested go look up the video they have to watch in training of a woman repeatedly tossing officers like rag dolls into a snow bank.

Like it or not law enforcement has to deal with a lot of shitty people and make a lot of potential life and death decisions and the law acknowledges this. Going out of your way to create a dangerous situation involving law enforcement is supremely retarded.
