Did they dump fertilizer into the pool?

I think that’s most likely what they did. One 50 lb bag of fertilizer is enough to cause a big algae bloom in a 5 acre pond.

That’s actually a little funny. Still doesn’t mean he’s not a worthless POS though.

Male flight attendants are almost always gay. If he’s getting pinched on his butt it’s by other gay men, not the average member of the traveling public. He should direct his ire towards his fellow perverts instead of framing it as a general problem. The average traveler has no desire to pinch his butt.

Reddit is a leftist cesspool of people advocating all manner of violence and hatred towards America. If you spend some time on there you'll understand that this isn't a simple freedom of speech issue with criticizing ICE or Trump but people actively advocating for the murder of ICE agents and multiple threads where reddit users post ICE operations, agent locations and encourage targeting of them and their families. It's actively encouraged by Reddit moderators who are mostly far left wackos also.

I strongly suspect Reddit is ran by chinese, russian, or terrorist supporting regimes. The website is a dumpster fire and almost every violent leftist attack in the U.S. has roots that trace back to radicalization on Reddit. It's being used to incite political violence and needs to be permanently shut down.

The digital footprint of bad actors like Russia, China and Iran is huge. Websites like Reddit are full of influencers working for foreign governments who are there mainly to agitate and turn Americans against Americans. Their purpose is to disrupt more so than to push any particular agenda, they might come off as a conservative one day and a raving lefty the next, it depends on who they're talking to and what they're trying to accomplish that day.

Have you ever wondered why so many of today's youth think they're trans or gay? Thank these foreign actors who push this crap online. The goal is destabilization like we saw yesterday with the trannies that shot up the mosque. Every time they can goad some mush brained idiots into taking up one of these lifestyles and enrage them into violence they've chipped away a little more at the foundation of America.

I'm sure there are plenty of them plying their trade on Free Republic also.

Just another weaponization of government against the more productive members of society.

Da'Quan with 16 baby mama's who's never paid child support? Doesn't matter, he's never left the south side of Chicago so doesn't have or need a passport.

Dave the airline pilot whose wife slept with half the neighborhood while he was away on his week long international trips and stuck him with child support for a kid that isn't biologically his? Take away his passport so he can't work.

A for effort.

C- for execution.

I was stationed in Italy in 1996. I had always been one who had to watch every ounce I put in my mouth because I gain weight easily. It seems like I can smell a cookie and gain a couple of pounds. During my time in Italy I ate far more than I would back in the U.S. and never gained weight. When I returned home I went right back to gaining weight if I didn't monitor my intake to the point I was constantly hungry.

There IS something different about the food there vs. the U.S. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't pack weight on me like U.S. food.

...I really don’t get the disdain towards younger Americans on this site. Many I know work 2 jobs, or an 8 hour work day, then go home to run their home based business, or side gig, sleep 3 or four hours, then do it all over again.

I agree. There is a huge split between the haves and have nots in this country today and unless they're living off of daddy's money the young are mostly in the have not category. It's driving them towards socialism because they feel like it's hopeless that they'll ever be able to afford a middle class lifestyle. When I graduated college in 1990 a bachelor's degree was a ticket to the middle class, now it gets you a job at starbucks for minimum wage. You could put yourself through college on a part time job, today it's $40k a year in student loans to go to the University of Nowhere state school.

The conditions are not the same as when most of us came of age. We can tell them to work hard and pay their dues like we did but the truth is we didn't have the roadblocks to success they have today. Where it's going to bite us is when people feel hopeless they install totalitarians who promise to fix things for them. We've seen it countless times throughout history with the USSR, Hitler, FDR, Obama, etc. When it gets to the point where a majority of the people feel they're being screwed then bad things start to happen.

Actually, the Unabomber was very bright. Not sure what his education level was.

He had a PhD in mathematics and taught math at UC Berkeley for a while. Supposedly he was a great mathematician and shitty teacher that the students hated. He also got into the gender tranny stuff for a bit but didn't go through with it. The tranny thing seems to be a recurring theme with a lot of these nutcases.

He was undoubtedly extremly intelligent but nutty as a fruitcake.

I’m from Mississippi and over the last 20 years EVERY instance of supposed “hate crimes” committed against a minority or minority church has turned out to be a false flag by some lefty group trying to pin it on conservatives. It’s become so common for lefty groups to pull this that they’re the automatic suspects whenever something happens to a black church or organization.

Pimping “hate crimes” is big business and this is how they keep the money flowing in.

We are paying poor and uneducated people to have children while punishing and providing disincentives to those who we should, as a society, encourage having children.

Exactly. This is the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. Our replacements aren't coming from our best and brightest, they're coming from parents who have lived off of generational welfare and/or the prison system. They're breeding more low IQ children who will contribute nothing to society and most likely live off the government via welfare or prison just like their parents. Successful people who are net contributors to society aren't having kids to pass on to their intelligence and work ethic. To make matters worse we've spent the last few decades flooding the country with the same low IQ deadbeat types through our open borders policy.

Watch the movie Idiocracy to see where we're headed. It was supposed to be a comedy, unfortunately it's turned into an eerily accurate predictor of the future.

Free beer tomorrow.

The way I see it, communism, fascism, and progressivism are all forms of socialism. Just different levels of socialism.

They're all just ways of trying to relabel totalitarianism and make it sound less evil. Communism, authoritaranism, fascism, socialism, marxism, naziism, progressivism, feudalism, Stalinism, Leninism, and a million other ism's are just ways to deflect the true desire of the elites which is total control over the people and exploitation of them for their own power.

The true political spectrum isn't left vs. right, that's a facade. The real spectrum is authoritaranism vs. anarchy. The founders rejected being under the thumb of a King in favor of liberty, but they knew that absolute liberty (anarchy) would never work so they attempted to strike a balance that was workable by recognizing that rights came from God and not men. Certain rights are unalienable, they're off limits to government. They succeeded brilliantly and those seeking power have been trying to destroy what they made for the last 250 years.

There is zero fundamental difference between communism and fascism, or any of these other ism's. They're just all different ways of pitching the idea that their bunch should be in charge of everything. It's all smoke and mirrors.

He really must have pissed off the wrong people. (Though I don’t doubt the accusations are true)

I've got to hand it to the democrats. When they decide to get rid of someone they do it posthaste and without mercy. Everyone and their dog has known Swalwell was scum since the Fang Fang scandal (which should have landed him in jail) but the dem power masters ordered it ignored because they thought he could be maneuvered into higher office. When it starts to look like having him in the California governor's race is risking their power they bring out the guillotine for him. It's a power play reminiscent of the takedown of Bernie Sanders when it looked like he was going to become the democratic nominee for president. Overnight they cut Sanders off at the knees and moved Hillary Clinton to the front.

It just goes to show what an organization completely without ethics is capable of when it's dissatisfied with one of it's own completely unethical members. I only wish the Republicans showed one tenth the inclination to jettison some of our RINOs when they become a liability. The democrats are showing a lot of their mafia roots, Swalwell is probably lucky that he just got kicked to the curb.

Yup. This was a democratic takedown of Swalwell because they want him out of the way. The Chinese spy affair would have landed any republican in prison but Swalwell got away scot free. They’ve decided he’s too much of a liability now so they’ve trotted out the bimbo eruption crew. Nothing enrages lefty Karens more than a guy trying to get laid by a younger woman.

There is plenty to dislike about her, but what amazes me is that everyone seems to leave out that she was one of Harvey Weinstein’s casting couch bimbos who was sleeping with him during her early days of trying to make it in the movie industry. When Weinstein fell from from grace she, like all the other bimbos, came out of the woodwork claiming he “raped” her, but it’s pretty telling that she kept coming back for more “raping” as long as Weinstein could advance her career. She even solicited campaign money from him after she hooked up with Newsom for his political bids.

She is a creepy socal climber who slept her way to the top of the food chain in California. She’s the perfect partner for Newsom, she’s basically another Hillary Clinton but with the ability to coax me into bed for favors. Whatever you say about Hillary, she never got ahead by offering sex to someone. At least not unless they were blind.

Sexual misconduct only counts when it’s republicans, democrats get a pass. How this guy wasn’t jailed for life after handing secrets to his Chinese spy girlfriend is something I’ll never figure out.

Florida was the epicenter of election fraud in 2000 with Gore vs. Bush. The dems almost succeeded in stealing that one so Florida is intimately familiar with their shenanigans.

The H1b scam needs to be permanently shut down. If you want to do business in the U.S. then you should have to hire Americans. There is zero reason to need to hire from overseas, we’ve got plenty of American software engineers. Not wanting to pay U.S. wages isn’t a valid reason to import third worlders.
