This is how Democrats operate, outside the boundaries of the law.

So James, are you saying that the Sec'y of State in Penn did not say to defy the court and go ahead and count the unsigned ballots?

Are you claiming that she didn't tell everyone that, or are you claiming that she said "ok, the Supreme Court has ruled and we shall abide by the law"?

Which is it?
I read in Mad Magazine that the Daily Caller is a crappy source.

Who is Greta Thunberg, darling of the left?

I've found it interesting in the reporting over the past months that so many European citizens were switching to burning wood because they can't afford the energy costs of other forms of energy and they have been told that there will be severe rationing of all the usual forms of energy because wind and solar just can't keep up with the demand. 

Gee, who'd a thunk that energy costs would necessarily skyrocket due to the unrealistic switch over to green energy sources without having the supply?

Hmm.... OH, that's right it was Barack Obama who told us that their plan was to make energy costs necessarily skyrocket.  He told us that over a decade ago.

Energy prices in Europe have increased more than tenfold throughout 2022 amid fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over the weekend, Russia severed natural gas shipments through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline until sanctions imposed by Western countries are amended. While several nations introduce consumption restrictions and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveils a “mandatory target” for reducing usage, demand for wood has soared — leading to the rapid harvesting of old-growth forests.


Companies in Poland, Estonia, Romania, and Hungary are reducing timber into wood pellets and exporting them to Italy, Germany, Austria, and other Western European nations, according to an investigation by The New York Times. Although the European Union subsidized wood burning over a decade ago as an incentive for households and businesses to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, wood pellets produce more emissions than coal.

I laughed out loud when I saw the part about the guy with a knife. Perfect title for this thread, by the way.

If you do as suggested, you will not be like Stevan Segal in a Hollywood movie. You will instead be an old man who will die an ignominious death.
It's fantasy.  Have you ever seen the movie A Christmas Story?  Ralphie has this fantasy where he saves his family from the evil Black Bart with his Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.  Same thing here.  This thread is true comedy gold! Thank you, Jim M!

Here's an actual video of a person who disarmed an attacker who tried to stab him with a butcher knife.

The assailant ran away after the victim attacked him on a bus in London.

But it never happens right?  Just Hollywood right?

OMG, the more you type the funnier you get. Once again, you're only funny when you're not trying to be, but you're never funny when you are.  Tell us more!

Guy counters ridicule on the thready by trying to convince everyone that he can show up to a knife fight without a knife and win.  I dare anyone to make any sense of that.

Wait, do you mean to tell me that the imaginary guy with a knife is irrelevant to this thread? LOL

You're going to be Davis's hero now. You should send him a picture of yourself so he can replace his current profile picture (his current hero - whoever that is) with yours. LOL

Very sorry to hear about that Greg, but I'm glad you were able to disarm him and I'm glad you did a number on him.  

Hopefully, he learned his lesson.  smile 

According to Brian McGoofy, that only happens in the movies and I'm lying about that thing happening anyway.

In Lacey's words, You must be Steven Seagal.  wink  
Apparently that's me you're referring to. Show me where I said anything of the sort.  Liar.
