If you say it, it's a lie or half truth
The same way I was lying about federal workers being fired? You said that was a lie too when I posted it. I purposely ignored you then too. Because I know you guys’ method is deny and deflect and justify . I know that any information you don’t agree with is a lie. Then after it’s been established to be true, you try to deflect with some sort of whatsboutism and when that doesn’t work, you try to justify it by telling us why it’s suddenly okay.

Don’t project your behaviors onto me.

Have a nice day.
COEUR d’ALENE — A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from the Coeur d’Alene High School auditorium for heckling legislators.

Though the company that provided security for the event has been identified, town hall organizers and Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris have claimed no knowledge of the security personnel or who hired them.

Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White confirmed Sunday that the men who dragged Teresa Borrenpohl from the meeting worked for the private security firm LEAR Asset Management.

Reached by phone on Saturday and Sunday, the firm’s owner, Hayden resident Paul Trouette, declined to comment.

As the town hall got underway and legislators made their remarks, Borrenpohl said the audience cheered and jeered at turns.

“Nobody was telling people cheering to stop cheering, but any time there was a negative reaction, we were scolded,” she said. “I felt comfortable expressing displeasure because people were very openly expressing their appreciation for the legislators there.”

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris told security team to remove Borrenpohl from town hall
Borrenpohl said the turning point came when Rep. Ron Mendive, R-Coeur d’Alene, spoke about how he helps to take care of Idaho’s public lands as co-chair of the Resources and Conservation Committee.

“I screamed — out of turn, ittedly — ‘Phil Hart stole timber from public land,’” Borrenpohl said. “That’s when they seized on me.”


Borrenpohl said she didn’t recognize Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris at first when he approached her in the semidarkness of the auditorium because he was dressed in jeans and a baseball cap.

“I was really dumbfounded because he said, ‘Do you want me to pepper spray you?’” she recalled. “That was the first thing he said to me that I .”

Footage from the event showed Norris take Borrenpohl’s arm with both hands and make multiple attempts to pull her from her seat.

Borrenpohl said that after she declined to leave, Norris turned to the unidentified men and said, “Guys, get her.”

On video, Borrenpohl can be seen repeatedly asking the men to identify themselves. They did not. She asked Norris if the men were his deputies, and he gave no answer.

Kootenai County GOP officials said Saturday that they didn’t know which company provided security for their event and told the Press to seek that information from the sheriff.

“Bob (Norris) was right there,” KCRCC chair Brent Regan said. “Nothing was done without him being aware.”

Norris denied knowledge of the event’s security arrangements and said he didn’t know the security personnel.

Coeur d’Alene Police chief says First Amendment protections should be respected
White said it’s not appropriate for law enforcement to forcefully remove a person from a town hall for speaking out of turn or shouting.

“I don’t care what your message is, especially in an open town hall like this,” White said. “We have to respect everybody’s First Amendment rights, regardless of what side of the aisle you happen to sit on. I know there’s some people up here who probably disagree with me and would like us to take action and maybe try to silence a voice that’s in opposition to theirs at a town hall, but there’s very little we can do with regard to First Amendment protections. We have to make sure people have the protections afforded them under the Constitution.”

Mary Rosdahl attended the town hall and described watching the sheriff attempt to pull Borrenpohl from her seat, then beckon to the security personnel. Rosdahl, who is a nurse, said she stood nearby during the incident because she feared for Borrenpohl’s safety.

“They came and took her by the arms and pulled her and then took her by her feet and pulled her into the aisle,” she said. “They laid her face-down on the floor. Two of them were on top of her, holding her down, and then eventually they boosted her up on her feet and dragged her out the door. I was worried about their handling.”

Borrenpohl said she re “hands coming from everywhere” trying to haul her from her seat and pushing her to the ground. To her left, she said, she heard friends defending her while people across the aisle jeered at her and applauded the men who were attempting to remove her from the auditorium.

As the men dragged her down the aisle, Borrenpohl lost her shoe, and at one point, her shirt nearly came off.

“It was really violent and really traumatic,” she said. “They had grabbed my wrists. They contorted my body. They lifted me up and dropped me down. My only thought was to maintain my airway. They were forcing me down on the ground. I just wanted to make sure I could still breathe.”

Borrenpohl said she bit one of the men who was dragging her from the auditorium.

“I didn’t know if I was being detained by what I now knew to be the sheriff’s office or if these were private hired guns,” she said. “I was so confused, and I didn’t know if I was being arrested by the sheriff’s office or if I was being kidnapped.”

On Monday, The Coeur d’Alene Press reported that city prosecutors will dismiss the misdemeanor battery citation. The city of Coeur d’Alene also revoked the security company’s business license, The Press reported.

KCRCC Town Hall facts and video.
All 450 attendees were twice briefed at the beginning that anyone who refused to respect the rights of others would be removed from the event.
Borrenpohl interrupted the speakers at least 7 times. She was warned at least 3 times. She was asked by the sheriff to leave at least 5 times and finally the licensed and bonded professional security removed her from the venue. She forcibly resisted and bit one of them. She was cited by the Coeur d'Alene police for tres and battery. Security did fully cooperate with law enforcement.
None of this would have happened if Borrenpohl had been respectful of others. Her failure to follow the simple rules of decorum caused an 18 minute delay in the meeting and reduced the number of questions the legislators had time to answer. Borrenpohl knew the rules but CHOSE to break them to the determent of the rights of all present.
Borrenpohl has a long history of disrupting meetings and was the prime suspect for the pulling of a fire alarm during a North Idaho College board meeting.
The KCRCC has sponsored dozens of Town Halls in the last decade and this is the first time someone needed to be removed for the peace and safety of those in attendance.

Watch the video of how she was disrupting and was warned multiple times before she was removed.

Cococandy spread lies as usual.

I’m sure the thugs who failed to identify themselves followed the law. That’s why the city revoked their business license for this action and the prosecution dismissed the charges they tried to pin on this woman for defending herself against them.

Don’t break your feet running to the defense of anything stupid republicans do. If you hurt yourself in the process, they’ll vote against your healthcare.

High-dose Vitamin C (HDC) therapy is the miracle cure that’s been buried.

Nobel laureates Pauling, Klenner, and Cathcart proved its effectiveness against diseases.

But instead of embracing these findings, their research was suppressed.

Why?
descarado: 8:50am On Feb 25
Because you can’t patent Vitamin C. It’s a nutrient that:

• Rebuilds your body with collagen
• Destroys infections at high doses
• Blocks inflammation and allergies
• Stops aging and diseases

Your body can’t produce it; thus, it depends on what you consume.

How are they implementing this?

They’re using the tactics used during COVID:
• PCR tests inflating case counts
• Mass culling of healthy poultry
• Rapid vaccine rollouts by Big Pharma

This isn’t about stopping disease—it’s about creating a crisis to justify more control.

People forget the common flu was a pandemic too until vaccines came about and now less people die from it. If they had the technology to get a vaccine out quickly then, they would have. And I’m sure the president of the time wouldn’t have politicized it into this ugliness that it has become.

Covid vaccine was not rushed because the mRNA technology behind it was already a thing before the pandemic even happened.

There’s no big conspiracy but if there were one, it would be that all these farmers who are about to lose their farms will be to the benefit of JD Vance who’s invested in acretraders.

I’m not saying there’s a conspiracy there but if there was, it makes conspiratorial sense that their govt is fvcking up farmers source of livelihood and exposing them to the risk of losing their farms which will then be bought by venture capitalists like JD Vance. Just saying.


For Taber, Vance’s large investment portfolio—in AcreTrader and a slew of other opaque start-up companies—raises questions about conflicts of interest and the mixing of venture capitalist and political pursuits. Vance’s 2022 portfolio also included AppHarvest, the start-up company that promised to revolutionize farming and bring good jobs to eastern Kentucky, only to quickly implode.

“There’s an ethical case for any venture capitalist to disinvest from their interests before running for political office,” said Taber, in an interview with Civil Eats. “We don’t know what he’s incentivized to do.”

AcreTrader streamlines the process of investing in valuable farmland across the U.S. and Australia—from the flooded rice fields of the Mississippi Delta to the vast tracts of high-yielding corn in the Midwest—by placing the farmland in a limited liability corporation, or LLC.

“You can then purchase shares in that [LLC] through a simple online process that takes just minutes,” the company explains in a tutorial video for prospective investors. “AcreTrader handles the istrative details for you, and works with experienced farmers to manage the land.”

“It’s just the expansion of the Real Estate Investment Trust [REIT] business model into farmland,” said Taber. “It’s basically like a mutual fund for real estate.”

Russia is 100 times worse
Bemeruca. Russia has Putin as it's benevolent dictator. You don't challenge him for presidential elections, it's upto him to decide whether he will get 80 or 99% of the vote. Noone ever praises Russia democracy,it's non existent.
As regards expansionism Putin would like to recreate the USSR. He was promised NATO would not move an inch eastwards but it was just beer parlour talk.
I've taken time to watch RT knowing it's Russian propaganda. Zelensky sent the Azov brigade to the eastern oblasts with an intention of silencing them once and for all. As regards Crimea ,2014 coup would have meant Russia loses its Black Sea port. The west had they left Ukraine alone would still be intact.
If you ask me the west saw how Reagan broke up USSR and thought they was upto par . The West wants to get rid of Putin,they don't care how many die as long as they can forment uprising among Russians.
Jeffrey Sachs ( I think he is deluded) told EU parliament this week how in Dec 2021 ,he spoke to Jake Sullivan asking him to state Ukraine would not NATO.He refused. Putin invaded.
Ukraine by all means and purposes is being used to launder money to politicians in DC.
Anyway Russians are happy with Putin ,there is no free speech there like in the west. As long as NATO does not threaten Russia, Europe is safe.
Putin SMO has largely achieved it's objectives.
Oil rich eastern Ukraine is in his hands. Crimea is Russia forever port. Ukraine will never NATO.
When ceasefire starts EU will continue importing Russia cheap gas.

All you mentioned does not give Russia the right to invade Ukraine.
Ukraine wanted to the EU, Russia took Crimea. So I don't blame Ukraine for wanting to Nato. Both sides got off on the wrong foot and the west, EU and the zombie Biden were pouring gasoline to the conflict by ing Ukraine to fight the war and not giving them enough to hold their grounds. So many dead, Russia is slowly taking grounds at a very high cost and that's what the EU wants. A whole generation of Ukrainians are wiped out and no end in sight.

Russia on the other hand could be friends with the west but I don't understand why they don't want that. See the Korean war and Vietnamese war, it's a war of ideology, capitalism vs communism. You know whose side China and Russia take in those wars.

For me both sides are wrong but Russia attacking Ukraine cannot be excused

Also, Russia has been the one talking about nuking England.

They all have MAD but who is mad enough to trigger MAD?

I don't Russia, but the west in it's foolishness has
_increased energy costs worldwide
_ almost brought starvation globally Ukraine and Russia were big grain and fertilizer exporters
_sent hundreds of thousands to their deaths
_ defrauded taxpayers money
_uplifted China industry with it's low gas from Putin. EU can't compete with China with their green energy, Russian sanctions, high energy prices importing Russian oil shipped from Indian and Chinese ports. Talk of cutting off your nose to spite your face
_ imposed totalitarian regimes or they seek to interfere in elections of EU countries sympathetic to Putin. This is in defence of "our democracy"

WASHINGTON—Twenty one federal employees who had been working with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency resigned, writing in a letter that they wouldn’t offer their expertise to overhaul the government if it meant undermining essential services.

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” the former employees wrote on Tuesday in a letter addressed to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”
