Coming alone because my friends can't seem to stand up for their country... i Digress. I am flying in and wondering if any caravans are going to be going back and forth between Dulles. Cause i want to get the cheap prices at the Dulles based hotels, but not sure how I feel about riding public transport in and out of DC to the airports alone with Trump gear. DM if ya don't wanna post publicly.
Seriously, a lot of people are wondering why he hasn't done martial law, and using the military.
He doesn't want to do what he knows he has to do to fix this. He understands the massive toll this will take on our country. To call martial law, seize all voting machines via the military, and hang traitors, will be something our country hasn't seen since the civil war.
He is just like Jesus before he was to be crucified. Praying to god to take this cup away from him, because he does not wish to drink. But understanding that he has no choice.
He is letting every possible legal remedy play out before he takes his sip... but i think he realizes, his cup must be drunk, and he is the man to do it.
So let me address that.
First and foremost, I am not a glowie. I am a felon. At the age of 19 I sold some pot to a friend (not a friend) and caught a felony charge for "selling weed".
I know firsthand how little the state cares about you or your story. They don't care about the conversation you had with the cop, where the cop apologizes as he arrests you. They care about one thing, their power and how to wield it.
I also am not violent. I have never hurt anyone in my life. I went to law school (as a felon), knowing (edit here, I could pass the bar, but not the ethics exam) i couldn't pass the BAR, but i just wanted to learn and know the law.
I studied our history like it was the Bible. I worship men like Adams, Washington, Jefferson, Locke and other founding fathers.
I am not racist. I love MLK, Booker T Washington, Tubman and anyone who carried the torch of freedom.
At heart I am a libertarian. (Ron and Rand are my current hero's outside of Trump). So i believe Individual liberty and the individual him/herself is the most important set of rights that can possibly be debated and decided on.
Less than a year ago, I would never have sacrificed the things I have in life for really anything. Let alone Trump.
But today, I stand ready to die for him. (So much so I told my 70 year old mother that I would be sorry if she saw me die in a civil war).
I have always been the guy who said, hey we got 2-4 years to get our message across and affect change. And i believed it, and saw it happen. (From Ron Paul in 08, who i helped run part of his campaign, to the TEA party movement, to Trump's election). But this is different.
If this election is allowed to proceed with Biden winning over Trump, in a clear case of fraud, we have lost America. We have lost everything me and many people like me believe in. And we will never get it back. Google said they wouldn't let another trump happen, and they didn't.
If America is gone... i have nothing left to believe in. So i will die for America to live. I may be but one man... but god damnit i am not just another brick in the god damn wall.
I have always thought about the idea of calling people african american, or asian american. We need to flip that shit. American African... American Asian.... American English... AMERICA FIRST!!!
As someone who has spent his entire academic career (masters so far) learning about American history. Specifically focusing on revolutionary history (and before that, and what led to it). I have to honestly, as a man, ask.... How did some of our founding fathers know when it was time to stop talking, and start war? My generation only knows voluntary war, where you can choose to not participate. But the war I speak of is all encompassing and no one is spared. And as such, has an even higher threshold that must be met before engaging in. When is it proper? And being honest, im not sure we aren't past the point... but I sure as fuck could use a Jordan Peterson type to tell me why not.
War is probably upon us. Violence may be inevitable. But let's always remember in these "riotous" situations, remind the cops you are on their side, you are protecting them, and you don't operate under the same engagement protocols they do. They may be required by law to back away, retreat, and regroup. We are not. We can and will do whatever the situation requires to WIN... not keep the peace but WIN. And we are with them, they are us.
You thought the people who actually read the lessons from Lincoln, and Washington wouldn't know when to finish the civil war you started? Really? You think we wouldn't fight for our union? K, see you soon. The tree of liberty is about to be watered.
With DDOS attacks all the time against us... what kind of 4chan magicianship would it take to mobalize this win to basically disable facebook with fake accounts, verified by fake numbers and fake pictures, to troll the ever living shit out of it until it was so desperately terrible that every comment made was some troll making life unbearable for anyone who uses the platform.
Hey Pedes, haven't really researched it a ton myself, but already the left is out claiming that GEOTUS executive order regarding the payroll tax is de-funding social security and medicare. Anyone wanna point me in a good direction for a rebuttal of this most asinine argument?
“I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.”

Do i feel crazy for thinking that the left has started a hot war that we have yet to fight in? Are we so resolved to ensure we are not jumping the gun, or over reacting, that we under react to acts of war? I am not advocating violence at all, in fact i think it is detestable. But i feel like the left has already begun a war we have yet to begin fighting in, and that jump might be the difference in win or lose. I don't want to fight, i really don't. I have been and always will be the intellectual who has too many degrees and not enough guns... but seriously, at what point do we stop acting in the realm of interwebs ( a great fight which we are winning and need to keep fighting in)... and bullets.
How many statues? How many tipping points? How many times do we turn the other cheek, before this war goes hot? IDK man, i feel like most of us know the inevitable situation we face, but we are all scared to jump. (Rightfully so, you dont want to be wrong, or be the instigator).
I want the left to come to the table with arguments, based in good faith and trying to find common ground... but how many times does our side have to get smacked in the mouth for asking that (both figuratively and literally) before we say, yea im done.
I pray for our nation.
Looking for the video of the black business owner who said int he 90's banks said go to trump and trump forgave his loan after he got up and going.
Since the death of Mr. Floyd we have seen amazing unity over our feelings on the evil those cops did. We have seen protests. We have seen riots. We have seen cities burned to the ground. But what I have yet to see is a coherent strategy laid forth by those in charge (of either the protest movement or our actual leaders) on how we combat this going forward.
Make no mistake the four cops involved were all guilty, and here is the kick: one was white, one was black, one was asian, and one was hispanic. So the problem seems to me to be more about police and police training than direct racism. Secondarily working on racism is something legislation can't really change so lets focus on what we can.
Here are some coherent strategies we should think about discussing for actual change we can make, I of course don't have all the answers, but we need to start somewhere. And it needs to start from our side, because if we can lead on this issue we ensure a red wave landslide the likes of which America has never seen.

Break up the police unions. I hate the idea of public sector unions in the first place, but police unions shield and protect bad cops. The man who knelt on Mr. Floyds throat (I wont say his name because he deserves to rot in hell and be forgotten from history) had 18 complaints against him. Now I know cops sometimes will get complaints that are just people making up stuff or pissed or whatever. But 18? How many people do you know get written up 18 times at a job and keep it? I can promise you his union had his back. Police unions are the blue wall and blue line of silence, and it they need to be gone.
-
No more internal affairs investigations of police. There needs to be community elected boards that oversee cases in which cops discharge a firearm, use force to subdue a suspect, or have a death in custody. We obviously see that police do a terrible job of policing their own, so lets not let them do it anymore.
-
Random monthly drug testing for all police. The unions have fought tooth and nail against this and I am not sure why. But i know some of these people are roid raging pricks. They get all jacked up on juice and aggression is a side effect of that. Besides if I gotta pee in a cup to work at t-mobile, the guys that take drugs off the streets should have to as well, if nothing more to ensure they aren't using some of the drugs they find.
-
Stop the practice of hiring people with only average and below average IQ. I know this seems strange to most people but the police unions have gone to court and won arguing that higher intelligence people leave the force to soon to justify the cost of their training. In effect though it creates a force of people who are much more apt to follow orders they shouldn't or in the case of cops on roids, make dumb meat head cops who are trying to be tough guys with everyone.
-
And this may be the most important overall and long term.... end the war on drugs. It has created a need for police to become more and more militarized. No i don't think meth and crack and heroine should be legal, but there has to be other ways of dealing with those dealers than police. Perhaps a new force dedicated to only those certain drugs and the people that deal them. We need to treat drugs and their use as more of a public health concern.
Just a few thoughts to get the ball rolling on legislative actions we can take. Because protesting is useful as a symbol but we need more than a symbol, we need change.
