@p2p_consulting @Axxyworks I was genuinely wondering how long it would take for someone to drag race into this. Appreciate you stepping up and proving the point so quickly.

Normally I’d agree with you about Washington Post clickbait, but this one is actually weird. Qatar spends a fortune lobbying DC and usually gets very soft treatment from the media. The fact that WaPo is going after them this hard actually makes me think there might be something to the story.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@SadiqSa85842685 @Megatron_ron Yeah I’m sure it’s just a total coincidence that Iran stopped attacking Qatar the exact moment they hit Ras Laffan. And Qatar just happened to shut down all their gas production at the same time for no reason at all.
Totally organic. Nothing to see here.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@CantalopJoe @Megatron_ron Except Qatar literally begged the US to put bases there. They make billions hosting our military. They want the protection and the money, but when shit hits the fan they suddenly want to play neutral. You don’t get to have it both ways.

@ianmiles Politics aside, she looks way better in a bikini than she does in those painfully tight outfits she wears to Congress. The tight clothes honestly make her look worse than when she’s barely wearing anything.
It’s a weird phenomenon. Clothes are supposed to help, not fight you.

1. “Blade was not long enough” / wouldn’t even call it a deadly weapon — Bro it was a 5-inch semi-serrated pocket knife that went straight into the kid’s chest and killed him. Size don’t matter when it hits the heart, Jasmine. That’s why he’s dead.
2. Pretending it was “just one stab” like it’s no big deal — One stab to the chest that kills somebody is all it takes. You don’t get bonus points for restraint after you end a life.
3. Acted like the boy didn’t get a proper defense — They raised over 600k for his legal fund. That’s not public defender money, that’s high-end defense. Stop the cap.
4. “This wasn’t the county for a Black boy” / pure Collin County racism — The jury was diverse — White, Hispanic, Asian. No Black jurors, but that’s because the Black potential jurors kept saying shit like “I’d have a hard time putting a brother in jail” or couldn’t be impartial. They got struck for bias, not skin color.
5. Implying a White boy would’ve walked saying he was scared of a Black kid — The video showed Anthony in the wrong tent, threatening “touch me and see what happens,” then stabbing after a shove. That evidence would cook anybody, any color. The three-hour verdict proves the jury saw what happened.
6. Zero sympathy for the dead kid’s family, straight to “Black moms live in more fear and agony” — Couldn’t even say “this is sad, a kid lost his life.” Immediately made it about how the killer’s community suffers more. That’s cold as hell.
She’s not arguing the case, she’s running her usual script. Facts and video be damned — if the outcome ain’t what she likes

@Humanarewild the only thing more useless than those two dudes trying to snap the bike in half was the guy in yellow just standing there like a pussy referee with his arms crossed.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@Lexibexiio Jessica, I thought this was satire—how could anyone believe this petty trash-bin nonsense? Neighborhood rules are dusk-to-dawn the next day. Close your damn curtains, Karen. Pathetic.

@sullyengels How about the pitcher do his job and cover first base? That’s actually taught in Little League

@BingBongFanGG Eastbound & Down is a TV show where Danny McBride basically roasts John Rocker the whole time. It’s hilarious — check it out.

@bjp0 @JonBumrall @Breaking57 Licking boots? Nah.
Same logic as TSA searching your bag at the airport. I bet you probably refuse to fly too, right?

I mean basic checks to protect food supply isn’t communism.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

You're misinterpreting the case law. US v. Martinez-Fuerte specifically upholds the checkpoint stop as a constitutional seizure.

You are legally required to stop. While you have the right to withhold consent for a search and remain silent, you don't have a right to immediate passage if you refuse to cooperate.

Standing on your 4th and 5th Amendment rights doesn't mean the government has to wave you through; it means you're creating a detention that agents will use to escalate the stop. Stop acting like the Constitution is a 'get out of jail free' card for a bypass.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

Seeing a lot of misinformation on this thread regarding checkpoints. Let’s be clear: U.S. v. Martinez-Fuerte upheld the constitutionality of fixed immigration checkpoints. You are legally required to stop.

You also have your 4th and 5th Amendment rights. You are not required to consent to a search, and you aren't required to answer their questions. But don’t confuse those rights with a right to 'pass through' without delay.

If you exercise those rights at a checkpoint, you aren't just 'winning' a constitutional battle; you are creating a detention. Refusing to comply gives agents a reason to hold you, call for K-9s, or escalate the situation. They aren't going to just wave you through because you quoted the Constitution. You can stand on your rights, but don't be surprised when you’re stuck on the side of the road while everyone else drives away. Know the difference between having a right and the reality of how these agencies operate.

@bjp0 @JonBumrall @Breaking57 Domestic flights have lighter checks. Road checkpoints stop pests from other states hitting CA’s massive crops. Just SAY NO to produce and move on. It’s really not that hard.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@AB8TN @Breaking57 True

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@bjp0 @Breaking57 WRONG! Airports do inspect — USDA checks international arrivals for plants/pests. Domestic checkpoints stop bugs/diseases from other states spreading to CA’s massive AGRICULTURE industry. An apple from Nevada can carry pests that wipe out crops. Not harassment, it’s protection.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

@bjp0 @JonBumrall @Breaking57 Airports do this. USDA inspects international arrivals for plants, produce, and pests. Domestic road checkpoints catch stuff from other states.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

Partially right — no single dedicated SCOTUS case just for CA ag checkpoints. But you’re WRONG on the rest.

Martinez-Fuerte precedent covers fixed administrative checkpoints like these. You must stop and comply with basic inspection/questions or get turned around. Not optional.

So taking the Fifth at a CA ag checkpoint gets you turned around. It’s an administrative inspection, not a criminal interrogation — you must comply or can’t enter the state.

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

Ever crossed into Mexico or back from another country? Same basic questions and inspections at borders to stop pests/diseases.

CA has plenty of dumb far-left policies destroying the state, but protecting their massive AGRICULTURAL from invasive bugs that could wipe out crops and raise food prices is legit and important. It’s Not communism!

[Stephen Tart @USBC300]

If CA ag checkpoints are ‘USSR communist,’ then the Supreme Court is too. United States v. Martinez-Fuerte (1976) explicitly upheld fixed checkpoints like these as constitutional administrative inspections. They exist to protect CA’s massive ag industry from invasive pests that could wreck the nation’s food supply. Stop = comply or turn around. Not communism.
