Remind you of someone?

"..Some fun reasons from the Declaration of Independence stating why a leader should be overthrown:

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury.."

"... Trump's White House unveiled a new promotional gimmick this week: "Freedom Fuel," or a network of 25 gas stations offering what is being billed as cut-rate gasoline to deliver savings to American voters.


"FREEDOM FUEL HAS ARRIVED," said the White House official account on X. "The FIRST Freedom Fuel Network gas station has LANDED in Philadelphia, lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President. President Trump is leading the charge to lower gas prices this summer — putting more money in your pocket."

MAGA-supportive pundits instantly lauded the announcement, with far-right conspiracy theorist reporter Lara Logan posting, "Everyone is going to want this." But elsewhere, the idea was met with scorn, as people laughed at the idea of the Trump administration setting prices at a tiny handful of branded gas stations — and others pointed out that gas is only so expensive due to Trump's war against Iran.


"Arsonist puts out fire," wrote political commentator Travis Akers.

"Going through all that trouble and the best they can do is $3.47 per gallon?" wrote Open Measures senior researcher Jared Holt. "What a joke."

"The average price of gas when Biden left office was $3.12," wrote liberal journalist Aaron Rupar. "Trump wants to throw a parade for himself over one station where it's $3.47."..."

Any 1st year lawyer will tell you to never speak to police unless your lawyer is present but most US citizens still have the idea that speaking with police might help.  That is not the way police operate now days.

As to the plate, maybe they had a partial and matched it to a sort of similar car then ran with that instead of actually doing their jobs?

Having watched 1000's of cases now, I am of the opinion that a very significant potion of police misconduct originates with laziness on the part of the officers.

If it was partial then the correct car should have come up as well.  It's just laziness.

That's going to cause traffic problems.

I hate having to take it so easy when I first start running again.  I just ran 25 min and fast walked for a cool down for 15.

I am not hungry.  I haven't eaten anything today.  I will have to force myself to eat something.  I will have a Ramen.  It's 400 calories.  I'll be fine until dinner tomorrow.  I am not running.  I will every other day.

I gotta go take another effing bath.  <shakes head>

One of the lawyer I met with is dealing with the tariff refunds that we are owed because the Trump tariffs were declared unlawful.  The whole supply chain needs to be refunded.  It's a sh1t ton of money.  It's sounds like a total nightmare.  I was just laughing. 

I don't think any of us like Trump.  When you work internationally with people all around the world , you are far less likely to approve of what he has done to the image of America, globally.  It's sickening.  They said he's like your drunk uncle.  I said yeah and then he goes on twitter and starts drunk posting, lol.

They aren't going to reimburse all the expense it costs American companies to pay lawyers to get their refunds back, either.  You'll get your tariff money back, but you better either know how to jump through the hoops yourself to get your money back or have lawyers on staff who do or ones at law firms that you pay by the hour for.
