Most folks caught doing this would be fired on the spot...but if you carry as much left-wing water as Toobin has, you get a pass and get a suspension that will end with his reinstatement after his thing calms down...

Gotta say these earbuds are pretty damn good for under $10. Originally got a set with my work phone and have been using them for WebEx and really like them. Pretty close to tangle free as well.

Didn't know they were so cheap until I misplaced them for a couple days and bought a replacement pair.

I've got a pair from Jlab Air Icons that are awesome.

Actually - just got them replaced b/c the right earbud broke somehow. They aren't good for conference calls but I've got a Jabra headset that connects directly to my computer for skype calls and phone for Webex ( hate webex)

We were asked to use our phones for audio, as connecting through the computer was adding to our WebEx issues. That's the only reason I started using the earbuds.

I'll check out the Jlab Air Icons, as when the youngest is verbal stimming, it almost impossible to hear the TV.

Fair and balanced? You sure about that? :suspicious:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gaetz- ... -biden-bus
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., took to Twitter Sunday to criticize the FBI’s decision to open an investigation into an incident caught on video that showed cars with Trump flags surrounding a Biden campaign bus traveling in Texas.

“If you need any further proof that the FBI will look for any reason to target Trump supporters,” Gaetz tweeted, while linking out to a New York Post article.
So, Trump Supporters drive reckless and harass a campaign bus, the FBI decides to look into it and the "patriots" get a free pass? What about law and order? Should it be acceptable to accost and endanger the lives of people we disagree with? I don't understand how anyone with a brain stem could justify this?

If this is acceptable, it'll only empower those dangerous leftist, ANtifa punks to do the same. And why wouldn't it? If Republicans can accost and endanger the lives of their political enemies without repercussion's, what's to stop some Leftist from trying to drive Trump's motorcade off the road and cite this precedent that it's perfectly fine?
Which part is reckless?

I'd start with bringing the bus down to 20mph on the interstate. 50 Trump vehicles vs 1 Biden bus? :suspicious: Yeah, they were there to escort the bus to it's next destination. 50 cars just happen on Biden's bus? Please - they were there to be disruptive.
Other videos shared on social media painted a more dangerous portrait of the confrontation, showing cars driving perilously close to the bus and at one point even running into a Biden staff member's car.

Also, do you honestly believe a group of vehicles flying Trump Banners are riding close and surrounding a Biden Bus b/c they all root for the same team?

I'm not arguing it wasn't a stupid thing to do, I'm not buying the "they tried to run the bus off the road" narrative.

I don't think they were either (at least I hope not). Their "ambush" of the bus was fucking stupid and immature. And reckless.
