Where can a civilian get a good bulletproof vest?

Rest assured that I have other valuable and relevant skills.

Fair enough.

Not sure I'd pass the background check for that in CA. Years ago I had an unfortunate reaction to a new medication, suffered hallucinations from it, and was involuntarily committed for a few days (I was fully out of it) while I recovered. It's all documented.

They don't. Lines they claimed to have last year have been erased and moved further out. They'll keep moving them.

Lmao this is cute.

Huh? That other person seems calm and respectful too. What do you mean?

What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?

Where are they being detained and tortured again?

Saw an article today about a French scientist who was denied entry to the US after their phone was searched and texts critical of Trump were found.

You're getting downvoted but it's important that we remember this. She's hot, she's white, she's an actress. She said herself she thinks it's thanks to her friends and family working with the media that she got released at all. I bet she'd agree with you that being white played into her favor here.

Think about all the people who don't have those types of resources or public empathy points. We have no idea who is actually locked up right now or what will happen to them.

Yes, they have that "social conservativism" that has become the shared obsession of the American right thanks to Russia's brilliant disinfo and behavioral modification campaign.

I just meant that, economically, they do not share American conservative values. For example, the typical poor Russian can't just work their way up the social ladder, start their own business, hit it big, own a bunch of property, etc. You must be born into it, full stop. This is the piece that American conservatives fail to understand in their Russian aspirations, and why, at the end of the day, they really do not want to be Russian despite what they've been brainwashed to believe.
