No doubt identified as a Glock.
The three men who claimed to be DOGE employees and asked for records at San Francisco City Hall were conservative YouTube pranksters hoping to incite a ‘liberal meltdown.’"
Is there an “It was for a Youtube prank bro” exception to the law against impersonating a government official?
They could request a pardon from their hero.
I bet the Glock potato gun somehow has less plastic than a normal Glock pistol.
But the DOGE Muskjugend are not officials, you understand? Just temporary special government employees. Impersonating them is completely legal. Just ask SCOTUS and POTUS.
A 33-year-old African-American New York woman catfished a 19-year-old Pakistani man online using a filter to look like a younger white woman, somehow convinced him to marry her sight unseen, then traveled to Pakistan to be with him - upon which he immediately abandoned her after realizing he’d been had.
After spending several weeks demanding in vain that the Pakistani government compensate her for being jilted, the US consulate arranged for her to fly home to America - except she got off the plane during a stopover in Dubai and is now demanding that the Emirates government compensate her instead.
One has to be amazed at how could she expect that to work out. The whole “if I want it hard enough it will become real” thing really has a powerful hold on people… (followed by “if I make enough of a pest of myself they’ll pay me to go away”). But it seems this lady has mental health issues so that may explain how she got to where she is.
Somehow, this sounds familiar. Like it may have worked for some guy…
This confused me, I thought somehow they got married without ever seeing each other. Apparently what he did was propose to her sight unseen.
Anyway, mentally unstable seems a serious understatement.
Right out of the sovereign citizen’s playbook.
It isn’t like either gets off free. He’s pretty stupid even if she wasn’t scamming him.
I know he was being a dumb teenager. Which may be redundant, come to think of it.
But you got to hand it to him - he actually did get a human woman to fly halfway around the world to be with him.
Granted, under false pretenses and somebody with some clear psychological issues, but still.
I’ve posted this elsewhere, but it seems to fit here as well:
Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two –
Something noble and grand and good,
Won by merely wishing we could.
From Kipling’s The Road Song of the Bandar-Log. So the attitude has been around for some time, but it seems to be increasingly endemic to the right wing in general and MAGA in particular.
Hakeem Jeffries thinks Andrew Cuomo should be mayor of NYC, because the Democratic leadership are just a bunch of crony capitalists who don’t care if this country descends into a fascist shithole as long as they and their buddies get to cling to their petty fiefdoms until they drop dead.
Large corporations are shopping for underground bunkers that can survive a nuclear blast to protect their data centers and C-suite employees as geopolitical tensions rise.
(which I think I may have seen on another thread here)
It seems more likely to me that these bunkers are meant to protect corporate leaders from, like, regular people, which are a greater threat to them right now than are nuclear weapons.
We should call them Man…gione holes!
Step one: find the air intake vents for said bunkers
Step two: fill them with quick-dry cement.
Step three: wait for the bunker inhabitants to come out
This may not end quite as the CEO’s intend…
I was thinking more The Dirty Dozen, a few gallons of gasoline followed by grenades.
ETA: ninjad.
