My main account has been limited by the Communist speech censors of X. Apparently advocating for the 💀 penalty after conviction at a fair trial is "violent speech" that should not be allowed.

@bullyray5150 @BustedOpenRadio Good chance. The fans are pissed. Cody was politicked out of the main event to feed Rock's ego and everyone understands it. And they buried Seth and the World Heavyweight Championship in the process. Fans have no reason to invest in either main event.

When do I get apologies for saying Will isn't a P5 QB, much less an SEC QB, for the last two years?

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@DearOleState Does it really matter? This is one of the dumbest things to complain about. Maybe they didn't need to buy the bigger white tents. Maybe the smaller blue is all they could afford. They're there, which is what actually matters.

@YankeeGunner I'll never forget the time he celebrated a Spurs goal on the pitch during a North London Derby. Total assclown. 3/3

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@YankeeGunner Terrible ref that's incompetent and probably corrupt, but treated like some quirky, colorful pillar of the game by the English press. Dude is everything that's wrong with the PGMOL. 2/3

@YankeeGunner Been trying to cut down on my use of profanity in general and the f bomb in particular, but allow me to say with all the sincerity I can muster: Fuck Mike Dean. He should've retired years ago. 1/3

@adamkeys_ He hasn't made either match day squad. He's too good to end up unregistered for the PL, which feels likely given the size of the squad right now. Let him go play somewhere. I'm more upset and surprised we can't get a fee for him.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@Pickledfins We watched a similar debate. I'd flip Christie & Pence and Burgum & Haley, but that's subjective. Thought we saw flashes of what made Christie the best governor in the GOP in the late 00s and early 10s. Haley's foreign policy would be a disaster. War hawk who'd start WW3.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@mtgreenee Yes, he proved he can strengthen the Swamp, enrich Big Pharma, hand his Presidency to Communists when it matters, and fail to get any legislation passed so any of his "wins" are completely erased the moment a dementia addled Commie gets into office. Great record.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@JesseKellyDC Why did you block me? I'm a huge fan. Was it because I challenged you on your talk about the polls? Your Twitter account is hilarious, miss having it in my feed.

How about this novel idea @ByronDonalds

Trump shows up to the debate and defends himself. 🤯

August 21, 1992. U.S. marshals invade and attack a rural homestead in Boundary county, Idaho.

Randy Weaver had decided ten years earlier that he'd had enough of society in general, opting to move his family somewhere where they might homeschool their kids and escape what he and his wife Vicki perceived as a corrupt world. The Weavers bought 20 acres on Ruby Ridge, a hillside just up from Ruby Creek, where they built a cabin and other improvements, and set about living a peaceful, primitive yet comfortable life.

After three years there, in 1984, Weaver and his neighbor Terry Kinnison had a dispute over a land deal. Kinnison lost the ensuing lawsuit and was ordered to pay Weaver court costs and damages. Kinnison, seething from the loss, wrote letters to the FBI, the Secret Service, and the county sheriff alleging that Weaver had threatened to kill President Reagan and other notable public figures.

In 1985, the FBI and Secret Service began an investigation of allegations that Weaver had made threats against Reagan and other government and law enforcement officials. On February 12, the Weavers were interviewed by two FBI agents, two Secret Service agents, and the Boundary County sheriff and his chief investigator. The Secret Service had been told that Weaver was a member of Aryan Nations and that he had a large weapons cache at his residence. Weaver denied these allegations, and no charges were filed. The next month, Randy and Vicki Weaver both filed an affidavit with the county courthouse alleging that their personal enemies were conspiring in order to provoke the FBI into attacking and killing the Weaver family.

In 1989, Weaver allegedly sold two too-much-sawed-off shotguns to someone who had led him to believe he was a weapons dealer. The "dealer" was actually an informant for the ATF. Weaver was instructed that he, too, must become an informant or face charges. When he refused, the ATF made good on their threat; the ATF alleged in their filings that Weaver was a bank robber with criminal convictions. These claims were later proven false. Still, a federal grand jury indicted Weaver in December 1990 for making and possessing illegal weapons.

Concluding it would be too dangerous to arrest Weaver at his home, ATF agents posed as broken-down motorists and arrested Weaver when he and Vicki stopped to assist. Weaver was informed of the charges against him, released on bail, and told that his trial would begin on February 19, 1991.

Sometime over the next year, the actual date of the trial was pushed back to February 20th - one day after the original date. Attempting to notify Weaver of this change, the probation office mistakenly wrote March 20th in their letter instead of February 20th, and Weaver of course missed his trial. Weaver having failed to appear, the court wrote out a bench warrant for his arrest. Due to the charges being weapons related, a federal grand jury indicted Weaver and the U.S. Marshal Service was tasked with arresting.

On August 21st, 1992, federal marshals, all heavily-armed, entered the property on foot. Randy Weaver's 14-year-old son Sammy Weaver was outside with his dog, along with Kevin Harris, a family friend. As the marshals crept up the ravine, the dog attacked them and was shot dead. Sammy, seeing the dog shot by strangers in the trees, opened fire. He too was shot and killed. Harris, after witnessing this, fired his own gun, killing one of the marshals.

Back at the cabin, Weaver, having now been told conflicting information about court dates, combined with the way the ATF had operated to open the investigation, and realizing the violence enacted against his family by federal agents, declared he would not surrender, alleging there was a conspiracy afoot.

Having lost one of their own, the marshals retreated but returned to make the climb the next day, this time accompanied by agents of the FBI, with one FBI sniper taking a position of just over 200 yards from the cabin. When Weaver and Harris opened the front door and walked out to visit Sammy's body, the sniper fired, striking Weaver in the arm. As Weaver and Harris fled back inside the cabin, the sniper fired another shot, meant for Harris. The bullet wounded Harris, but then traveled through the doorway and struck Vicki Weaver in the face as she held her infant daughter. Mrs. Weaver fell to the floor, dead. Her body would remain inside the cabin while the standoff continued.

The siege ended after eleven days, after civilian negotiators were brought in. Weaver and Harris finally surrendered and were arrested, both now facing a host of charges, including murder, conspiracy, and assault. An Idaho jury would acquit Harris of all charges. Weaver was convicted of failing to appear for the original firearms charge. He was fined $10,000 and sentenced to eighteen months in prison, credited with time served plus an additional three months, and released after sixteen months. The FBI sniper who murdered Mrs. Weaver was charged with involuntary manslaughter but this charge was dismissed on the grounds of qualified immunity.

The ATF and the FBI were both reprimanded by the Justice Department, however, the Department subsequently issued a formal statement that the officers of both agencies acted within their duties.

Remember this when you call for gun control.

Think it can't happen here? It already has 31 years ago.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@LPNational You left out a crucial detail. The sawed off shotgun Weaver sold was initially within legal limits. The ATF/FBI agent told him to saw off more of the barrel, which Weaver did. Then he was charged for selling illegal weapons. Classic entrapment.

@KurtSchlichter Garden State Lizzo. 😂😂😂😂💀💀

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@johncardillo What's really sad is @TuckerCarlson agreeing to this. Makes him look like a Trump surrogate and shill. Shame on Tucker, who should know better.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@JoshPower80 The primary is conducted state by state. So Trump might still be "ahead," I.e. most popular, nationally but that doesn't mean anything in relation to the primary. He's using them to create a narrative for his cultists so attack DeSantis. 2/2

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@JoshPower80 1) Trump is buying polls that show what he wants them to show. Look at the data and sample sizes of the polls he's citing. They're tiny. Just absolute garbage methodology. 2) National polls are irrelevant. We don't have a national primary. 1/2

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@DrLoupis Because it's about power and control. They get off on forcing you to do things they know don't work. Refuse to comply.

[WMD @WMD_Gunner22]

@_Mama_Mia10 And that's why it's a cult.
