@Vego_Garden@LibertyJen A lot of people are paying attention to this exchange. Looking through your products, you have some interesting stuff, but if this is how you treat your customers I'll stick with Bootstrap Farmer.
Finally watched Cool Hand Luke a few years ago, and didn't take long for me to start cheering for the warden. Don't get the appeal of that flick, Newman played an asshole.
If I were listing the most overrated films of all time, I would have mentioned Shawshank. It’s a prison movie where almost all of the prisoners are kindly, good natured, harmless souls (aside from the two or three rapists). Too silly to be great. And besides, it’s not even the best entry in the “prisoners are the good guys” genre. That title belongs to Cool Hand Luke. Vastly superior film with a much more compelling protagonist.
🚨Urgent request
Just found out my baby nephew Dominic is going in for heart surgery tomorrow. He's only 4 weeks old and a premie, so any prayers or positive energy are really really appreciated.
Thanks so much guys.
Please share.
Please pray for the family of this precious little boy, Eddie Hall. The 5YO autistic baby wandered from his home and was found in a nearby lake. He is with Jesus. An absolutely devastating tragedy.
First Ana Kasparian's Bosnia and Herzegovina blunder and now this. Every one of these people is at base level just stupid. It's why they're also all ideologically aligned - stupid people are easy to sell stupid ideologies.
Look, even if you accept that Jenny’s story — which is alleged B&E and rape — is legions worse than Lyndsey’s or Genevieve’s, or even the Nazi tattoo, you’ve now given over your “red line,” and it’s not “Nazi tattoo,” or “obvious drinking problem,” or even “intimate partner violence.” It’s *actual felonies.*
And coming from someone who repeatedly warned Republicans about this slope — so much so that she retired in 2016 — you should realize that you’ve now crossed a Rubicon. All of that stuff about objecting to Trump, *rightfully,* on the grounds that he had no moral character, is accused of impropriety, etc. — that’s all bullshit now. You’re sunk.
I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no.
She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically.
This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.
We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward."
If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group.
I hate cults. I hate them a lot.
They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible.
What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore.
At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum.
That's a spectacularly bad trade.
At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.
@CheeseForEvery1 The proper response to seeing the other side nominate dangerous wackos is to support reasonable, electable candidates, even if they aren’t your ideal choice.
Negatively polarized ppl don’t act this way b/c they’ve outsourced thinking to the other side (who just selected a wacko)
After a recent shooting in Lynnwood sent bullets every which way into cars, buildings, and a person; The Lynnwood Times pulled the record of one of the alleged shooters, 19yr old Frank Ramos-Vasquez.
"Court records...show three pending cases in which he faces serious allegations, had bail reduced multiple times by judges despite prosecutorial requests for higher amounts, posted the reduced bonds, and saw the cases continued up to six times while still remaining open."
This is usually where most news articles end, but...
Lynnwood Times took the extra steps to find out why this repeat violent criminal was free to shoot up a strip mall, and the problem points straight at the Judges.
🔫🚨December 2024, the suspect was involved in a drive by shooting, followed by a high speed chase from police. He was caught and arrested.
"Frank was charged with Firearm Possession Unlawful 2nd Degree Under 18 and Attempting to Elude a Police Vehicle, both Class C felonies. Bail was set at $5,000 bond, which was posted on Dec. 12, 2024, by Judge Jon T Scott."
🔫March 2025, the suspect was caught with a stolen gun converted to fully automatic with a 'switch'.
"Frank Ramos-Vasquez was later charged with Unlawful Firearms, a Class C felony. Prosecutors requested a $50,000 bail...Judge Edirin Okoloko reduced bail to $10,000, which he posted."
🔫June 2025, the suspect was caught again with a stolen gun converted to fully automatic.
"Frank Ramos-Vasquez was charged with Unlawful Firearms, a Class C felony. Prosecutors requested $50,000 bail, citing his documented membership in [a gang]...Judge Millie Judge reduced bail to $25,000, which was posted."
Three opportunities to get this violent criminal off the street.
Three times Judges let him essentially walk, resulting in someone shot.
