Off topic but, LA Mayor Karen Bass FIRES fire chief Kristin Crowley after lashing out
Mayor’s office is denying it.
Grab some popcorn.
If I was Chief Crowley I would lawyer up and catch me a trophy Bass.
😆
Mmmmmmm, schadenfreude, …
Is it still called a cat fight when one of the opponents looks like a guy?
This may seem like a heartless response, but …
From that list, it sounds like some … group … is arming up for urban warfare. Seeing that it is in California where despite decades of evidence people keep voting for the same crap, I’m struggling to find my empathy. I know I had it here and put it somewhere for safe keeping, I just can’t seem to locate it at the moment.
It was stolen in California, so thus I wonder what part of Mexico it’s in by now, I bet the drug cartels would like to have that up armored truck!
This is not going to look good on the Yelp review for Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency. Commander Thomas “Turd” Bolling was unavailable for comment.
Don’t worry, they won’t get far, they don’t have a trip ticket and the Road Master is in no mood to cut them any slack.
“8 machine gun vehicle mount”
What good is the mount without the…you know…the thing.
Back on topic of army shit. I was stationed at least 2 Naval Reserve Centers that shared a common fence compound with the Army Reserve. Security seemed to be an after thought with those guys. My Navy reseve unit had 1 jeep and they had tanks, trucks, jeeps, etc. We took more pains to be sure our one jeep was where it was supposed to be becaue I had to do the paper work. I could go to the compound after a weekend army drill and find the garage, offices, gate, etc unlocked and no one around.
Nothing has changed BZ
