General Fredenhall still gets my vote, though.

Not even the worst American commander of the war, that title belongs to Joseph Stillwell. He got multiple Chinese corps destroyed in Burma after the situation was already unsalvagable, openly undermined the Nationalist cause and both arranged for Chaing-Kai-Sheck's assassination and smuggled aid to Mao's communists. He was removed from his post only after Ichi-Go nearly brought China to her knees, and he responded with the aformentioned assassination attempt, which was flatly refused.
 
The following clips are from political radical X account opposed to ICE:

So let me get this straight: the streamers are just standing there, as the LAPD pelts them with rubber bullets?/ 🙃

I have a migraine and can't think of something clever. So fill in the blanks - something something, Darwinism, something something, mouthbreathing braindead idiots.

How about something sinister? They’re paid to hold the line.
 
This is absolutely amazing. I don't even who the hell this guy even is, but this has got to be fucking with Newsoms head.

Here is a list of everything Antonio Brown has done

Antonio Brown circus timeline:

• Drove 100 down McKnight Road in Pittsburgh, which has a 45 MPH speed limit

• Trashed a condo and threw furniture out a window 14th floor window, which almost hit some people, notably a child

• Killed a home aquarium full of piranhas and refused to pay the man who installed the tank

• Refused to play week 17 for the Steelers

• Dyed his mustache blonde

• Refused to pay a chef because he thought he threatened him by placing a fish head in the freezer (the fish head was saved to make a soup)

• Farted on a doctor

• Demanded a trade from the Steelers

• Became "Mr. Big Chest"

• Threw a fit over Juju winning team MVP and trashed him on social media

• (Allegedly) nixed a trade that would've sent him to the Bills

• Showed up to Raiders training camp in a hot air balloon

• Held out and refused to show up to training camp because the NFL would not approve his helmet because it was too old for their safety standards

• Froze his feet

• Tried to paint over his old helmet, hoping no one would notice I guess

• Acquired a newer version of the same model of helmet, which the NFL refused to let him use

• Picked out a new helmet and finally showed up to the Raiders

• Got fined by the Raiders for not attending camp

• Tweeted the fines

• Tried to fight Mike Mayock, called him a cracker, had to be held back by Vontaze Burfict, then punted a football down the practice field and said "fine me for that"

• Got fined for that

• Released a video where he used audio of Jon Gruden, who didn't know he was being recorded, which is illegal in California (full disclosure, Gruden has said he gave permission, but the generally accepted theory is that he said that in the hope that it would help get him to show up to the facility and not alienate him)

• Demanded a release from the Raiders

• Was released

• "GRANDMA I’M FREEEEEE! FLY LIKE A FREEEEE!"

• Made a lot of crazy tweets saying stuff like 'Devil is a lie', a proverb about burning down a village... he made a lot of crazy tweets around this time is the point here

• Liked a tweet about Mayock getting raped in the ass

• Signed with the Patriots

• Moved in with Tom Brady

• The sexual assault allegations came out (the one where he's getting sued)

• The sexual harassment allegations came out (the one where he's not getting sued)

• Threatened the woman not suing him in a group text that included his lawyer and had a picture of her kids in the text

• Got released by the Patriots after one week

• Went off on a tweet storm and said a lot of crazy shit about a lot of people, and was supportive of people sending threats to the writer of the article detailing the sexual harassment allegations

• Said he was done with the NFL

• Went back to college via online classes

• Tried to outsource his homework to Twitter

• Wants to come back to the NFL

• Filed several grievances to try and get more than $40 million from the Raider's and Patriots

• Was ordered to show up for a deposition regarding trashing the condo

• Was accused of "reprehensible behavior" during the deposition (which is it's own insane thread, btw), which included, but was not limited too:

  1. "Arrived nearly 30 minutes late to the deposition."
  2. “[C]hanted, over and over, as if a mantra, a narrative of his own warped concept of the proceeding”.
  3. “Acting as if he was above the rule of law, [Brown] proceeded to make a mockery of the deposition process. [Brown’s] antics were so unreasonable that barely twenty [20] minutes into the deposition, his counsel asked for a break [so] he could speak with [Brown] about his demeanor.
    1. “After approximately [20-30](tel:2030) minutes, [Brown] required another break. When the deposition resumed [Brown] increased his level of obstructive behavior. At one point, [Brown] refused to answer any questions, instead saying “next question” no less than 10 times.”
    2. “Soon thereafter, [Brown] started announcing a countdown, starting at ‘five (5) minutes,’ and counting down the minutes thereafter. Before noon [Brown] left the conference room.”
• Said that the Patriots have to pay him anyway, so they might as well let him play

• Tweeted a couple of bizarre tweets about the Raiders using him for HBO ratings and the Patriots trying to steal his stuff and kept using this weird chicken based metaphor

• Tried out for the Saints and brought an entourage and film crew to shoot a music video with him when specifically told not to do that

• Called out Robert Kraft for his rub and tug massage session in Florida

• Starting training for a boxing match with Logan Paul

• Tweeted "No more white woman [2020](tel:2020)"

• The attorney representing him in the suit involving the condo quit

• Used a bunch of slurs and profane language towards cops in an Instagram video he posted

• A police youth football league cut ties with him and returned a donation after the release of the video saying there was a "irreparable rift" between the department and AB

• Threw a bag of gummy candy dicks at the cops in a video he posted

• Got dropped by his agent

• Was involved in a disputed with movers at his home where he allegedly threw rocks at the movers and moving vans. He is currently being investigated for battery by the police.

• His trainer was arrested and he is still a suspect in the battery case.

• Warrant issued for the arrest of AB.

• AB turns himself in to Broward Country Jail wearing this suit

• Rumors spread about AB signing with Tampa or Seattle

• AB announces his retirement (for what I believe is the third time, it's hard to find a good record of the rest of them)

• Two days later AB wants to play again and is asking for the league to wrap up it's investigation

• Joins TB12 in Tampa bay
 
As a Native American (like, an actual one), I'm sick of libsh!ts holding these stupid signs at every goddamn ICE protest. My ancestors getting their asses' trailed of teared, isn't some get-out-of-jail-free card for wetbacks breaking federal immigration laws.
I like you guys, your ancestors probably put up a decent fight against the US Calvary back in the day. I can mutually respect a man that loves his own people.
 
I'm too young to remember the Rodney King Riots, has it ever been this crazy in LA since then?

Kind of insane to see this many heads mobilized to control the riots. Just walls of armored dudes staring at the camera.
buildings aren't on fire and the mexicans stopped looters. this is turning into a big nothingburger. (other than preventing ice from doing their taxpayer funded jobs).

la has its share of riots since 92 but nothing like it in terms of scope and damage. until 2022-23, you could still see the fucked up buildings in koreatown. they're just now getting around to building new buildings.
 
I'm suprised California Unions stand up for illegals. Like, you'd think they wouldn't want undocumented laborers paid under the table being a widely accepted thing??? 🤔
Who knows... but one thing is for sure...
And it's that they're all insane...
 
You can't water the scumbags with pepper spray, either.

All they can use is tear gas.

Did LRADs get banned for some reason? Feel like I use to see them more years ago when shit like this was happening.

The lack of LRAD might be for fear of it going the way that pepper spray did during the occupy era or fire hoses during the MLK era. A few good videos of stampedes or even just the entire crowd flinching at once (which would look real scary and sensational in a video even if it doesn’t actually hurt anyone) and the optics of the thing have been ruined.

well, the problem is bandwidth

You can either beat them by wearing a hoodie, or they can turn the dial and cook your organs

Edit to add because people seem actually interested:

They’re like a microwave oven without a diffuser, but tuned to a non penetrating bandwidth so it only cooks right about where the nerves in your skin are, at fairly low intensity. But if something is inbetween your skin and the source of the microwave radiation, like a hoodie, then it doesn’t reach your skin. Change the bandwidth to compensate, and it would then penetrate too deep and cause actual injury
You're confusing LRADs (Long Range Acoustic Device) with the microwave system that I also can't remember the name of because they disappeared due to their worthlessness.

I am surprised we haven't seen man-portable LRADs developed and deployed. Surely the battery technology is there by now for at least a 30 minute deployment before swapping the battery, and these are things you can literally make at home, complete with the insane "constructive and destructive waves make it feel like you're going crazy because the sound fades in and out seemingly randomly and feels like its coming from inside you" effect.
