“Someone also needs to learn how to use “you’re” and “your”.
I’m not a teacher. Just someone who appreciates the proper use of the words of our language.”
Yes! And “there” and “their” seem to be above the pay grade of a lot of people. There just isn’t enough time to teach English and grammar when the first priority is to teach socialism/communism.
Here’s another reason to cut some slack: some of us have peeper problems, and while we know which form to use, we might not be able to easily see when autocorrect screws us over. 8-)
Mostly peaceful.
No presser yet.
Will federal storm troopers even invade DC?!/s
Note to the NBC affiliate: Why care about the arrest count when local prosecutors won’t prosecute, hmmmm?
Presser on. Brown up first.
I’ve only driven along this once....at Christmas., many years ago....and it was beautiful.
The awful thought occurred to me....
...I hope they don’t go over to the Field Museum close by.
The cops just stood there doing nothing. Not a thing, then claimed they were outnumbered.
“ANTIFA is declaring a 50 day siege of DC next month.”
Armed patriots may need to be there too.
The Black guy who refused to stop for police and then ran his car at them and got the car shot is dominating the news coverage, not eh store riots.
Brown is creating a special team!
You can arrest, Brownie. 12 hours shifts. No days off til further notice. Access Downtown will restricted at night. More officers will be deployed.
Groot up.
Groot is shocked!
Me: there’s too much video to try to spin this.
Belligerence is going to be met with violence in return.
They’re calling up the sanitation crews?!
Why weren’t the bridges raised hours earlier, Groot...?
Ditto, although we did homeschool our kids so they would properly use the English language.
One manages editors for scientific magazines.
It is sickening to see "journalists" writing so poorly.
It is sad to see a Freeper defending the ignorant "journalist".
Groot, why isn’t a rep from the DA’s office there...?
She’s pointing her finger...
