Wow what a big man. He sure showed Harris what for.

I can't tell you how many times I've been to the airport waiting for the naked scanner and been part of a group tahen thru the metal detector instead and let thru. I don't even have to opt out of the scanner for the pat down.

It was a game under $10 so I didn't lose much but it was still bullshit.

Final? Then what, they're gonna send out the local police depts or Constellis/Blackwater to kill them all?

Ya'll are missing the point. He doesn't see it because he doesn't see any more elections in the future. He isn't talking about being successful at winning the 2024 election, he's talking about successfully executing a coup.

Fuck that shit. Bring a jammer and disable it.

I'm not sure tbh. There's Menards if you want the big conglomorate. For most things there are still the local hardware stores but they may not be close.
