More than a month after a news report revealed that the Combat Infantryman Badge Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, wears on his lapel was revoked since he was never eligible for the award to begin with, the congressman refuses to take the pin off....
Is it though? I can claim to be Jesus Christ or sporty spice or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I can even dress like them. That by itself doesn’t get me thrown in jail.
Only if you claim to be a cop. Per federal law, you can wear one for fun if you want
It is a defense to the prosecution under this section if the badge is used or intended to be used for exclusively— (1) as a memento, or in a collection or exhibit; (2) for decorative purposes; (3) for a dramatic presentation, such as a theater, film, or television production; or (4) **for any other recreational purpose. **
Most users don’t want to immediately troubleshoot every error, they want to get back to work. The ones that do know how to find it in event viewer or the crash dumps or disable auto reboot on bsod.
We still have mandatory registration for selective service, it’s only for men, and feminist groups like the national organization of women believe it should be expended to I clude women or eliminated because it’s sexist
This country operated without an income tax for 135 years and you’re citing a 5 year period in a single state? Talk about cherry picking.
Taxes are necessary, fine. Cheerleading them is stupid. You’re not a hero for paying taxes, you’re doing the bare minimum to stay out of jail. And considering how they’re spent, you’re kind of a villain.
If you dont like how your taxes are being spent. Vote in better people.
Oh, it’s my fault the feds reguarly use my money to kill people, ok. Guess I should have voted harder.
Hey, if this is one single person’s responsibility, why haven’t you fixed it?
Nobody cares about local elections
My local taxes are rarely spent on bombs, drones, missiles, or genocides.
You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:...
Yep, that explains it, I’m talking about Wallingford in Connecticut. It’s about a half hour from Oxford, near Durham, Cheshire and Cromwell. Just southwest of Berlin.
It’s not that it’s too woke, woke is a star trek cornerstone. It’s because it’s “corporation flying rainbow flag” woke. Stamets in particular does nothing but provide empty representation. Representation is great but there needs to be something to it. You can’t just sit down and be like “ok, he’s gay and neurotic and possibly autistic” and never develop any further than that. Minorities aren’t cardboard cutouts who exist to check off a box. They’re people.
Can’t say I blame him for keeping a low profile. I remember the shit that internet nutcases were saying about him and his mother when this happened. They probably got a ton of death threats.
Nobody spends memorial day reflecting on people who died in wars. They spend it swimming, grilling hot dogs, and watching Shriners drive around in their tiny cars. What would make this one any different?

The national libertarian party enshrined gay rights in their founding charter in 1974 when the Dems and repubs were still holding hands and singing “god hates fags” together in unison
I didn’t accuse you of saying any of that. What you did say was that they lost their way prior to the 1950s, which would be a neat trick for an entity that didn’t exist until 1974.
Seen in a place called Ollie’s, which buys up merchandise stores like Walmart can’t unload. I didn’t think it was worth the ten bucks. Ugly, ugly toys.
I bought FF7 rebirth without watching any videos of it, expecting an updated final fantasy game. What I got was a final fantasy themed dragons age. Refunded that shit after a half hour.
