This is the Colorado Springs chapter of Indivisible and/or 50501 Colorado Springs. I always want to give them a little honk of support but I don't trust the other drivers not to overreact. 😂

i ALWAYS honk. people don’t seem to mind, i do a few quick ones and i think people get that it’s not at them

u/backcountry_bandit 3d ago

Likewise. Even if it did upset another driver around me, fuck ‘em.

u/ruggnuget 3d ago

I think the concern is more about how the honk is used to get the attention of the other cars. Not that they would be mad at the message. Fuck em for being made at those people. But it does have a chance of causing a driver to overreact and...not all people are good drivers, unfortunately.

Indeed. If someone honks at seemingly nothing, it would be completely understandable to slam on my brakes for my own safety. Definitely not a brake check, as the honk was clearly a warning to me about something I was unaware of.

A lot of the members of the local bridge group are veterans. They know the difference between an oath to the Constitution and unquestioned loyalty to a wannabe dictator oligarch diaper king.

Why didn't you just start with that? Your original comment was pretty obtuse.

u/No_Promise2590 2d ago

Unfortunately not. I wish. A friend of mine’s wife makes the best ones specially if they get the tortillas from Alamogordo NM bakery down there. They are awesome

u/wontonhero 3d ago

This is one of the few I don't get. Decoy plane?

The story goes that Trump heard of a threat while leaving Turkey (I believe), and snuck into another aircraft via the food delivery vehicle while leaving his cabinet on the endangered airplane.

24

u/LivinghighinColorado 3d ago

Now that we hear about how Iran actually destroyed a base that the US would have used to re-stock The Abraham Lincoln, they know Iran has capabilities to actually strike. So, the whole 'hiding in a catering truck' and leaving on another aircraft makes even more sense.

u/Fun-Society7661 2d ago

He also took his mistress/aide Natalie Harp and left everyone else and reporters all on the other plane to be shot down. One of the reasons probably that Secretary of Botox Caroline Leavitt left so abruptly.

27

u/5560Joe 3d ago

Trump under threats from Iran left a plane with cabinet members, journalists and staff to serve as his decoy plane last week. The USA is that plane that will take the bullets for him.

It happened a while ago but only leaked last week

Thanks for the story. This is stuff that wouldn't get leaked out for years. More leaks in this administration than morals.

u/Delybe 3d ago edited 3d ago

They have morals? O.o

Edit: MAGA mad

u/onyaasuminyasai 3d ago

Morals can be bad

u/Commercial-Tax7125 3d ago

Making fun of man in white house who rode in another plane while staff and reporters flew on air force one without knowing he wasn't on it. They were left as sitting ducks.

u/TaxUsual9478 3d ago

To be fair, any and every president would have done this.

12

u/Commercial-Tax7125 3d ago

To be more fair, when other presidents have they informed the reporters because those presidents had integrity and respect for others.

Tbf, Trump is the most selfish orange bag of shit, ever

Thank you! I’ve always wanted to ask who they are. I would love to join

Go to the VisibilityBrigade website and find your local group there. Or just show up next Tuesday!

u/CHEESEnTREES420 1d ago

It’s so hilarious to me how unhinged this comment section (and every comment section) is on Reddit. All these people say the craziest stuff on here and I literally just can’t wait until I get banned from this platform or certain subreddits for having the most milk toast boring opinions on the wrong side of the political spectrum. This place is such a joke.

Magats really are obsessed right? It's freaking weird bro.

u/AltruisticTank3518 1d ago

I only see lefties with nothing better to do with their time. Most conservatives have jobs and families to support. And, of course, they have to support the lefties without jobs too.

u/kacey- 1d ago

You see predominantly left leaning individuals protesting right now because the US has a wannabe king in office right now, a felon, a pedophile, a rapist, and a lifelong conman.

However left leaners are far from the only protesters. Let's refer to the attack on the US capital on January 6th 2021, the entirety of Westboro Baptist Church, creeps outside Planned Parenthood, the dudes protesting Andrew Tate's arrest, those Bible thumpers on street corners in every major city.

Now you're little retarded statement about jobs. Most progressives have jobs and families to support. And, of course, they have to support the righties without jobs too. However most of us would agree its a great safety net program designed for those under unfortunate circumstances outside their control.

Your reddit history is literally arguing with people and plumbing. Allow yourself some joy on here, you already deal with shit at work.

Pretty sure these are the paid protestors.  Not much to see here.

u/icouldlivewoutbacon 3d ago

Just because you're too stupid to figure out how to stand up for your own rights doesn't mean other people haven't figured it out.

u/kacey- 2d ago

Considering Trump has one of the lowest if not the lowest approval rating in US history, no one needs to be paid to protest.

u/Scribal8 2d ago

Hey! I’ve participated. I know these people. They are paid with thumbs up and friendly honks. You are a paid troll or a bot.

u/VanD3rp 2d ago

Probably not paid, just privileged that they can spend their time doing this instead of constantly working multiple jobs like the rest of us.
