President Donald Trump used a bizarre technique to toss the coin before the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, and people noticed.

Twitter users poked fun at Trump after he launched the coin at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday into the air like this:

Read tweets and watch video clips

Some of the tweets are pretty funny, especially those defending Trump.

Man trapped for two days in grease vent

A man has been rescued after spending two days trapped in a grease vent at a vacant Chinese restaurant in California, police say.

Emergency crews responded to reports of "a faint voice calling for help" from the building in the San Francisco area.

The man was said to have been exhausted and suffering from dehydration, but he is expected to make a full recovery.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Do you fancy Chinese food?

              No. You're not supposed to eat that stuff.

              They use cats in the chop suey.

              Don't eat that stuff.

WSU stocks men's bathrooms with FREE menstrual products

•Washington State University has begun stocking men's bathrooms on one of its campuses with free menstrual products.

•The new offering is part of a system-wide effort to be more inclusive of transgender individuals.

In an effort to demonstrate its “commitment to inclusivity,” Washington State University has begun stocking men’s restrooms with free menstrual products.

The initiative is one of many focusing on “improving the transgender community experience on campus,” and is currently being tested in three restrooms on the Pullman, Wash. campus.  The university is in the process of “assessing similar needs” at other WSU campuses to determine which men’s rooms will receive new accommodations. 

Additional changes include allowing students to choose a name other than their legal name for their student identification card and a new policy requiring all new buildings to have gender-neutral single-user restrooms. Some individuals found the practice of requiring a legal name on student identification cards “alienating” for transgender students who use chosen names.

Somebody PLEASE explain to me why any of us should give a damn about some freaks who are MAYBE 1/4 of 1 percent of the population getting offended because we don't kiss their asses?

Call me naive,but I was under the impression we elected representatives to run and defend the nation,not hold hands with the mentally ill.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Dancing FBI agent who accidentally shot man at Denver bar pleads guilty


Quote
DENVER (AP) — A dancing FBI agent who accidentally shot a man in the leg after doing a backflip at a Denver bar will avoid jail time after pleading guilty Friday to third-degree assault.

Chase Bishop, 30, struck a plea deal with prosecutors and was sentenced to two years of probation, The Denver Post reported . He also must pay more than $1,600 in fines and court costs.

Footage of the June 2 shooting at Mile High Spirits and Distillery shows Bishop dancing in the middle of a circle of people before doing the backflip. The gun falls to the ground mid-flip and discharges as Bishop picks it up. The agent then puts the gun into a waistband holster and walks away with his hands up.

He was facing the White House. Not sure if he was mooning the photographer or making a political statement toward the president.  :shrug:
