Of course they don't have authority to require people to open their doors, but they also do not have authority to block the street.

Also, at the moment we hear the first gun shot, his phone camera is showing the side of the car, not the front of the car. I think he was standing just past the corner of the car and before she's made the turn he was able to shoot through the very side of the windshield, but from the side.

The view from his phone jerks and there is a thumping noise. I think that's what people assume is him getting hit by the car, but it's the sound of his gunshot and the jerking is the recoil from the shot. Or him moving the phone-holding arm to keep his balance.

Also, we can see that he had already recorded her license plate. If she had done anything illegal, he had everything he needed to eventually track her down (or have the real cops to it). There was no need for him to be near the front of the car.

Getting ridiculed by the neighborhood dads for your crappy driving skills has got to sting pretty hard for these kinds of guys.
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Or where the citizens of that country voted for him?

I think Jack Kimble is a parody account. Look him up.

Waste and Fraud! Waste and Fraud!
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains

What do you get if you type in "Epstein"?

Super creepy that she projects anything that doesn't go in her favor as the work of "The Enemy."

Of course then there is the question: Why wasn't Jesus able to counter The Enemy and keep her tablet charged?

Do you mean a time capsule of the time it was produced? Or of the time it depicts?

This comment is my favorite thing I've seen on the internet today.

Wait -- are you suggesting that "mix tape" is proper and so the person who wrote "mixed tape" is showing how young they are? I (very senior GenX) think it's the opposite. We used to say "mixed tape" and i've never gotten comfortable with "mix tape." I think it shows the author is old, like me!

If someone is making fun of themselves, that's a white flag and it's a social war crime to double down.

I was confused by that at first, but I think he just meant MAGA and the "fuck" was additional commentary about MAGA.

What makes you think that the people killed and injured in Australia were dual-citizen Israelis? They were Jewish Australians as far as I understand.

I get the critique of "Blue MAGA" abstractly, but I don't get the reduction of Jasmine Crockett to it. I was waiting for the author to prove a lack of substance in Crockett beyond one Trump-focused ad and then the article just ended.
