When someone or something takes something or yours without your assent, what is it besides theft? If the tax rate is 100% or even 90%, that's not legal theft? If your property is confiscated by government, that's not theft?
Theft, by codified definition, is illegal. Taxes are lawful and, so far in the history of modern sovereignties, required for there to be government.
 
Just read some comments from Coco Gauff who won the women's title at the French Open yesterday. Stated that she's very patriotic and proud to be an American - love it. However, she went on to say she's proud to 'represent Americans who look like me and support the things that I support'. So, she's patriotic and proud to be an American but only those who look like her (black) and support the things she supports? If a white American male won the French Open (I know, fat chance) and said he was patriotic and proud to represent Americans who look like him and support the same things he does, he'd be crucified in the media for being a racist and, most likely, a crazy conservative. But, Coco can say she's proud to represent black Americans and those who support what she supports and crickets from the media. The double standard in what passes for journalism today is astounding. I was pulling for her to win yesterday and I'm white and, presumably, not 100% in line with her politics, so she doesn't feel proud to represent me as an American fan of hers? Probably won't pull for her ever again if that's the way she feels.
Do you think by “represent” she simply meant having success as a part of a particular segment, as in be a role model for others? As in being proud to represent t the state of Kentucky or the middle class or UK grads?

Depends on whether or not the ones hurt were the actual ones doing the physical protesting. Those there who are just protesting verbally the lawful way could be accidentally hurt. But, if it is the ones who are illegally attacking ICE/law enforcement then yes, they earned it.

Then those that are peacefully protesting need to leave when others in the crowd start getting violent.
 
I'm 62 with no priors. If I had the chance, I'm pretty sure I would do a short stint and fines to punch Olbermann in the face.

that's not a joke. and if i had enough notice, I'd train, just to get my money's worth. maybe pick up a roll of quarters on the way. (gotta ditch those pronto though, that would escalate the charges)

I'm thinking cans in the pillow case....

Could be. But the direct quote was 'proud to represent Americans who look like me and support the same things I do'. Proud to represent the state of KY would mean all Kentuckians. Proud to represent the state of KY who look like me is a totally different statement, imo. But, I could be misinterpreting her statement.
 
Sure he is.

There's more loyalty to the constitution in that dude's dump he took this morning than all the Baidens and Milleys of your world combined.
You sure about that?
DOGE for thee.....45 million dollar parties for me.
What a joke of an administration and a cruel joke on the American taxpayer.

 
Is Newsom really this dumb? He's supposed to be Wonder Boy and be a leading candidate for President at some point but he continually comes across as a dumb ass. His reactions to the LA fires, SF falling apart, CA budget shortfall and now these riots are comical. He just sounds like a complete clown. He's got the pretty face and all the approved physical mannerisms but the words he speaks are, more often than not, nonsense. Just complete BS and downright idiotic. He's a threat to win the Presidency? God help us all.
DeSantis cleaned his clock in their debate about a year ago. It wasn’t even close. Yes, his leadership is a joke. Well, it doesn’t really exist as you see from the fires, homeless population explosion, crime, budgetary mess, catering to illegals, etc and just has the slimy used car salesman look.

Remember when Rush would say this about Obama frequently back in the day. “It’s not WHAT he says, but HOW he says it.”
(regarding his appeal to voters)
 
Trump: "They spit. We hit."





"NOBODY'S gonna spit on our officers, our military... which they do as a common thing. They start spitting in their face. That happens? They get HIT very hard."















On California officials"


The president should not say things that appear to give law enforcement encouragement to respond unreasonably to a disrespectful act. Arrest. Don’t hit.
