So he has asked putin to join his council of peace.......fkn unbelievable.....that really taking the piss....and I wish Ukraine could hammer Russian heating etc....must be plenty of similar targets in Russia....time to stop being nice and only going for military targets....

Peace talks on Russia-Ukraine war end as fighting rages

No breakthrough is reported at the first three-way talks but reports suggest they will resume next month.

would have voted for Harris if she'd been in a coma.

I don't care for Trump, I also do not agree with the way he goes about things and honestly believe he is on the spectrum. He also self-sabotages himself. That being said, I'd still vote for Trump over Harris today if for nothing else due to Big Beautiful Bill (taxes) and immigration policy.

Now, there are problems with ICE enforcement tactics that are unconstitutional at times, and I hope with enough negative press it will get fixed instead of DHS circling wagons around wrongdoing.

"...she has a brain in her head and seemed to be able to use it."

This is one of the dumbest things I have seen on the Politics thread. I don't always agree with you or the way you argue your position and try to keep an open mind, but I stopped reading your post right there. She has never, IMO, ever given evidence that she has a brain or engages it. She hitched her wagon to diversity and, early on, sexual favors, and road that train as far as it would take her. Every time I hear her speak in public I am stunned she is given a platform or got as far as she has. I would argue she would come across as more coherent in that coma you mentioned, because it would stop her from talking.

The fact you would vote for her makes me glad you're in Canada.

That may have upstaged OH with his Harris vote in the stupidity column. How is anyone supposed to take his foreign policy seriously. He rails against the UN (rightfully so) and does this? His treatment of Putin, IMHO, overshadows so many other things for me.

Tump and/or Noem should hire Sheriff Grady Judd to be the spokesman for ICE. Or at least use his playbook on proper public relations to get the overwhelming support from the public.

The Sheriff holds frequent press conferences and describes the bad guys in great detail, along with arrest details.

Doesn't look good. Check 10s in. Heads should roll on this one. Even if they have an "excuse" with that many guys they should have easily subdued the guy right away.

I think rushing hiring and training is showing itself.

of course you would.

kamala was an actual idiot. what do you think the border would look like now if she was in charge? how about DEI policies? economic policies?

is trump perfect....nope! better by a LARGE margin than the alternative? in every measurable way. trump, stomps around, and is relatively uncouth when speaking or tweeting and he is certainly thin skinned, but he is doing good things for MY country, which is what i want.

i think there will be an actual deal in Greenland that will make everyone mostly happy, even tho he threatened "invasion" that is not gonna happen, that is just how he operates. asks for the world and settles for less. Canadian leaders could learn a lot from that, and still be the nice people that you are.

since you are aa canadian, you might not be as happy with his moves. i get that. i would suggest that you put any TDS aside for a moment and look at what he has actually DONE, not said. truly one of the things i like best about him that he is not a politician but a tough business man. and many times he is saying what i am thinking.

i am certainly nicer than trump and just as certainly, not as successful. i hope you have a great weekend.

Honestly i wish they had body cams. That video could go both ways...

Wich would make it a bad shoot.

The above an suv chick are very borderline and questionable shoots

WTF are you talking about?? They are in a fight with a guy with a gun!! Should they just wrestle with him until he gets a shot off??

A bad shoot? Officers do not have to wait to be shot during a wrestling match with a guy with a gun who will not submit. Ever hear, “Put your hands up and don’t move!?” Obviously this guy didn’t comply. Since when are citizens allowed to disobey orders from police, let alone wrestle while armed?

If you fight the Law, the Law is going to win.

Almost every violent Police interaction that has blown up the leftist media in the last 20 years has meet the same criteria.

1. The suspect was clearly violating the law, which was the reason LEO's initiated the interaction with the suspect.
2.The suspect fails to obey the lawful orders of the Police.
3. The suspect assault's the Officer or Officer's.

Intellectually dishonest people act as if these now deceased individuals were just going on their merry way, but we all know different.

It doesn't seem like he had the gun in his hand. And yes, competent officers would have taken him down without shooting him. Having a gun on you is not a shootable offense. There were 4 guys on top of him and another 2 a couple of feet away. The guy on left top was just beating on him instead of trying to restrain him. Mob tactics.

Are we going to use Iranian tactics against the protestors moving forward?

Having a firearm on you. Is not a crime.

Having one in your hand trying to use it is...

Just because hes an idiot doesnt mean he was trying to kill anyone. Non compliance isnt a shootable offence. And why do cops have more relaxed rules of engagement against us citizens.than i did against hajis at the height of GWOT?

Im all for killing idiots that need killing. But intentionally putting yourself in front of a running car with someine not complying or shooting a guy because hes armed... isnt right.. if you as a citizen did that youd get thrown under the courthouse

 

[farmer_john]

Body cams would solve all these problems.

My sister in Toluca lake California, called me to say they are murdering people in Minneapolis, I had to explain to her , “ that’s what happens when you don’t follow a lawful order and start fighting the law enforcement system, apparently it’s ok to fight with the local police as their jobs are being diminished by local elected officials !

Around here when I interact with law enforcement, I keep hands 10 & 2 window down , act politely, because only idiots FAFO and get a free ride to jail or tazzed, shot !
Apparently the west coast and Great Lakes area it’s ok to throw rocks, frozen water bottles, hands , bullets with LEO’s and never back down from a lawful order?

Body cams would solve all these problems.

I think that is in the recent budget that was passed in the House.
