When it's convenient for the establishment, it's a race. When they want to rip on Orthodox Jews in New York who defy lockdown orders, it's solely a religion.
Sanders himself is an atheist and does not practice Judaism in any way.
I like him but I don't expect him to do anything after this.
Let him enjoy the rest of his life and not have the deep state absolutely destroy his family for generations to come.
When the CIA started torture at Gitmo they had to look up KGB manuals because they didn't know what they were doing. In North Korea, if you are believed to be a traitor/threat to the regime, they throw you and 3 generations of your family into camps. The Deep State are not amateurs anymore. If Trump continues, they will do this to him but on a financial scale. No more loans, no more deals, no more local or state agreements for development... NOTHING.
Everyone who wants to be free and wants me to be free is a fren.
This is the fallacy of what some like Shapiro have said about "sharing 95% of values with other Americans, the other 5% are what we're fighting over".
You either lean in favor of liberty, or lean in favor of security. Left, right, Republican, Democrat... far more meaningless distinctions and the Wuhan Virus lockdowns have made that abundantly clear. If you share basic societal values, that's not you as an individual but you as a product of the society you grew up in and that matters little when society is changing so rapidly.
Just enough government for basic services, and just little enough to not involve themselves in our lives.
May I ask what services you think those are?
I used to include basic education in that but I was a fool, basic education is pretty garbage.
A nation kept together solely through geography and not ideology is the grand mistake. There is no reason they should have to put up with us, and us them. 2 very different worldviews, and we are beholden to each other with alternating power.
People used to "vote" with their feet, even before democracies were a thing. What irritates me is that most places on earth already practice what the leftists want to live under, but a tiny amount are like the US (conceptually). Don't like gun ownership? Congrats, here's over 200 other countries you can call home!!!
"Russia influenced our election!"
4 years later, with no electoral changes except loosening of standards
"Most secure election ever"
Many aren't hypocritical because they're stupid, they're hypocritical because they don't care about rules but conservatives do. A perfect example is the baker and social media. The left pokes at conservatives saying Twitter, Facebook, etc are private companies and can do what they want, then says the baker must bake the gay cake.
They do not care about consistency, they care about winning.
Professional armies are nothing new. What are you on about????
And in terms of the US, there's been a professional army well before Vietnam. Also, the founding fathers never planned to have a navy but there's been 1 ever since they got tired of paying tribute to the barbary pirates.
Dirty little "not-so secret" secret: Military will protect the government.
Most of the times they change (which are already very rare) are either when they see the current government is going to lose anyways (ex. Portugal, Romania, Egypt) AND/OR when they're sick of killing their fellow citizens.
People think the latter is more common, but it's certainly the former. The ability to pick the next regime/government or even become it is absolutely the main cause for most military coups.
1 crucial aspect to the media and political blitz after Jan 6th is to present themselves as totally in control and with full authority within the public eye. If the government looks strong and has the backing of every major institution, the military almost certainly will not get involved with anything other than protecting said government.
Edit: Remembered that the military and CIA lied about the # of troops in Syria from Trump to dissuade him from removing them. They are NOT on your side.
They don't believe that, they want their leftist sheep to believe that. Almost every major power grabber blames the "enemy" as the necessary reason for the grab. The CCP did it with the nationalists and dissidents. Nazis did it with the Jews. And Dems do it with the right.
Honestly, Q could literally be a Media Matters or ShareBlue employee ginning up the gullible portion of the right and it would be a fantastic success for them if that's the case. People seem to think LARP, which is plausible, but we know there is no bottom too low for the left to steep to.
News articles are almost always never primary sources anyways!! Unless there was on-the-ground journalistic work done and they themselves were involved with (or witnessed) the event being written about OR you're using them to show the thinking/knowledge of an event at the given time. And those outlets usually just receive leaks and then do write-ups, or report on an event that has happened already and they were not active actors involved in the event. Those write-ups AREN'T PRIMARY SOURCES!
..... this is basic high school writing and researching knowledge.
I like how all The Hill readers seem to think this is bad practice by NY Post but it's literally saying they cannot simply report on something because another outlet has talked about it. While the NY Post might be doing this for ideological reasons, it will stop article laundering, as we saw the FBI use Buzzfeed for in regards to the Russia dossier.
as I can guarantee you that a regulatory agency in charge of this will be full of unelected AOC's
You do realize there are already regulations that exist for these companies, they've just been given exemptions to do this.
You do not need to make a single piece of extra legislation (or a new regulatory agency -- there already is one that oversees them) to hit these companies.
This was exactly it. The local news network contacted the ADL and they said it's a hateful image.
There's money laundering, idea laundering (commonplace in trash academic fields), and news laundering, which groups like the SPLC, ADL, and FBI take part in.
Perfect example was the Steele dossier that was laundered through news outlets to give it "credibility" so that the US government could get their FISA warrant approved to spy on Trump's campaign.
Btw for those thinking there's some turnaround for our current system.... how many people went to jail for that?????
