    A tweets from another thread...

    It's a lineup of people who still drink Folgers.

    I don't know what that means - but it makes me laugh.

    I know the info is real but it sounds 100% made up. Here are just a few examples...

    Chris West, Canadian County

    Bryan Jump, Coal County

    Dan Day, Custer County

    as someone who can groom/ride a horse and worked cattle for shit pay, it was explained to me that wearing a hat indoors, especially those big, expensive shitkicker cowboy hats originally developed to protect against the elements, is something bullshitters do to puff themselves up.

      Some counties are huge. Mine is almost 7000km² with almost half its population living in rural areas that fall outside the boundaries of cities. Sheriffs are the only force that could cover them since they don't pay taxes to the cities in that county.

      there are "unincorporated" areas that don't have government below the county level, and even in somewhat developed areas there's still a bunch of land and/or roads that aren't part of any town and we need to extend the police state into those.

    I can imagine how their deputies are...

    "Why'd you pull me over?"

    "You have out of state plates. Do you got drugs, illegal weapons, satanic equipment, or a pregnant woman hidin' in your trunk tryin' to break the law and commit murder-feticide?"

    "Um.... I have none of those things. Or people.'

    "I don't think I like your tone. Get out of the vehicle, sir." Then he speaks into the walkie talkie near his right shoulder. "We got a non-comply. Send three additional units."
