My in-laws have a van that can out-pull my pickup. Partly due to my trucks age and how heavily it has been used over the years, but their van isn't exactly a pushover.
And they have their own pickup that is only a few years old and it can't tow their camper very well. They use their van whenever they can.
If their proof of citizenship is their ID, remind them that people make their entire living off selling fake or altered ID cards.
Sorry, your drivers license isn't good enough, you're going to the concentration camps.
"hits harder than trumps tariffs" is a phrase I'm really getting sick of.
My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.
There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

I'm just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.
And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
They probably didn’t even read beyond the title.
I was convinced a long time ago that none of them read a single fucking thing that comes across their desk unless it involves money.
They read the titles of things, form an opinion based on the title, and vote whichever way their party leaders tell them to.
The ones that vote differently I figure either know it won't make a difference, they have some way of benefiting from the opposite outcome, or least likely, they genuinely believe their constituents will receive the greatest benefit from voting another way.
And they make it super obvious with some of the names that they want people to stop reading at the title and don't bother looking any deeper.

I'm just waiting for protests to be labeled "insurrection"
I remember when we used to hang traitors.
There sure are fucking truck loads of them in that picture.
I remember when the French helped us beat some tyranny away from our borders, and although I wouldn't ask them to get their hands dirty when we start wrestling ourselves, I sure wish we could channel some of their energy into the people who "oppose" things like this.... From their couch.
I long to see French level of protesting here in the states.
Most days I don't need a truck. Most days I don't want a truck.
But that's what I've got and I can't exactly just buy a new vehicle, or simply change jobs to one I can cycle to.
I'm a minority though, for most people it's compensation for insecurity or attempted status symbol. Around here we call them "pavement princesses" because they never touch dirt and likely couldn't navigate a back yard with its current driver.
