If you think a few dozen unarmed rednecks rioting at the Capitol was some sort of coup attempt, then you're even dumber than I've given you credit for...

My apologies.
The apparent gap between news sources is astounding. I mean Trump could eventually still be proven completely innocent and the election proven to be truly stolen I suppose but it isn’t the way this is trending. Or at least to be so cocksure regarding the irrelevance of it.

Perhaps it was a matter of degrees. Little, tiny, or ineffective coups are ok…or something. :lol:

First, it would need to be a coup in order for it to be classified as little, tiny or ineffective. :dunce:

F-35C fighter jet recovered from South China Sea
The F-35C Lightning II was retrieved on Wednesday from a depth of 12,400 feet (3,780 metres) using a remotely operated vehicle that fastened rigging and lift lines to the aircraft. A hook was lowered from a diving support ship's crane to the sea floor, which was attached to the rigging. The jet was then lifted to the surface and hoisted aboard the vessel.

Stupid leftists think they have double standard of stand-your-ground laws here, but the guy shot at a vehicle as a warning shot (in his own words) and hit someone in the car that he didn't even know was there. No comparison to George Zimmerman or Kyle Rittenhouse, matter how much anyone wants it to be.

What a shocker, Manhatten DA attempted prosecution of Trump is politically motivated.

I mean, I'm sure Trump is the only person that has a differential of property value at tax time versus selling time. :lol:

If you fire at a vehicle it isn't a "warning" shot :coffee:

More than a century after it sank off the coast of Antarctica, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship HMS Endurance has been located, apparently intact and in good condition.
The ship, which sank in 1915, is 3,008 meters (1.9 miles or 9,842 feet) deep in the Weddell Sea, a pocket in the Southern Ocean along the northern coast of Antarctica, south of the Falkland Islands.

Was it AZ that said he was fascinated with Artic and Antarctic exploration?

Donald Trump’s PAC sent out an email blast telling the former president’s supporters to give him cash for a new private jet called “Trump Force One.”

Trump is about the biggest grifter around. And he’s shameless about it. I don’t remember Ross Perot doing crap like this when he ran for POTUS.

That's because Perot wasn't a scumbag. He might've had an irritating voice but he was a decent human being.
