Dude, don't bogart all the hopium!
Taxed and treated unfairly, they certainly were. Estimates of the percentage of federal government revenue derived from tariffs and excise taxes against the South vary, but pretty much everyone has it pegged higher than 80%.
And now I must make the obligatory statement that slavery was evil. (And due to the Industrial Revolution, was in the process of becoming an unnecessary evil.)
Slavery remained legal in Maryland. Pretty sure in Kentucky, too.
Also, that infamous Dred Scott thing meant a fugitive slave remained a slave until the emancipation proclamation changed that. (Lincoln was many things, but modest about the Executive's power wasn't one of them. See also: West Virginia, habeus corpus, naval blockade, etc.)
Dude, provide links to merch dealer.
I remember being able to dismiss conspiracy theories like this.
I liked that reality better.
Pretty much. LBJ was likely the most corrupt person ever to become President.
The bureaucracy and media had his back though.
They're suppressing thoughtcrime, citizen.
Shush.
We know it's too perfect for this fallen world.
We'd obviously like it to be true, but we know it's probably not.
That said, it's a great story. It deserves to go viral.
If for no other reason than it's fun, and making circleback girl publicly deny it would be epic.
Top fucking kek.
Can we verify? Because I'm ready to write a check to his exploratory committee.
Les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Sadly, we're all already doxed.
The 3-letter agencies might have behaved themselves for a while after the Frank Church hearings/reforms, but they were back to compiling domestic "enemies lists" by Bush I. (And I'm sure it was just a total coincidence that the Ruby Ridge fiasco occurred in Church's home state.).
It got worse under Clinton. (Who can forget Hillary's office extralegally obtaining The FBI files on every prominent Republican. Or Echelon.)
It definitely got worse under Bush II. I recall the CEO of CenturyLink being fired and imprisoned on trumped up charges for refusing to let the NSA skim all the data passing through their network. (Not to mention the classified portions of the Patriot Act. Turns out the conspiracy theorists were right in their fearmongering. What they were warning about was actually in the bill, we just weren't allowed to see those parts, or even know they existed.).
And then came Obama. Who openly used the bureaucracy as a weapon against political opponents. I'm sure everyone noted that his list "signs of a potential domestic terrorist" was a keyword search query. (Did you serve in the military? Have you invoked the 10th Amendment or Declaration of Independence in an online argument? Congratulations! You are a potential domestic terrorist!) And if you think that compiled list of suspects was deleted, you haven't been paying attention.
Given the overarching threat, I'm just not too worried about some twitter troll with purple hair.
Resistance is not winning.
That we're giving them pushback for doing this sort of shit has not stopped or slowed them from doing this sort of shit.
Resistance is buying time. It will not retake one inch of lost ground.
It was a good tactic against Trump because they just had to wait him out, and had numerous counteroffenses actively attacking him.
Let's not feel we accomplished something by firing off a nasty note.
We need to figure out ways to actually hurt these bastards.
It was back up to 3.0 by the time I dinged them, with mine being the only negative review.
Done, but somehow mine is the only negative review currently being displayed.
(For however many seconds it stays up.)
After last election, how sure are we that they get many votes at all?
Yes. Yes he is.
Brave.
That's one word that could apply to the claim.
I'm admittedly kneejerking to several others.
As for the shot, it depends on his training (or lack of). When engaging a close range target, it's a normal thing for an inexperienced shooter to look at the target instead of the front sight. Add to it that likely had a ridiculously stuff spring.
Well, I don't find it surprising.
Butif charges are filed, it will be tried in Dizzy City.
Peak clown world.
A white, woman, veteran, Trump supporter was shot by a black man while she was interfering with the theft of an election.
I'm being sarcastic when I say they might throw him a parade, but...
By gum, adding "we really mean it" to the 9th and 10th amendments shall surely remind these beastly politicians and bureaucrats of their sworn duty!
To note the fucking obvious, the people who would be attending such a convention and ratifying the results wish to do away with freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, the right to keep your information private, the right against self-incrimination, limits on federal power, etc.
This appeal is a false flag.
And always has been.
Lining bodies up on your street is the goal.
I regret not being able to updot this on Jack's big shit show. (But fuck twitter.)
Not wasted.
Wasted implies that the effects weren't intentional.
Putting the proles in their place was, and remains, the entire point.
Beats me.
The media certainly pulled out a lot of stops trying to create a run over the weekend, though.
It didn't work. But the attempt says there's not much confidence in keeping the scam going.
Quarterlies come out at the end of March. That's the hard deadline when the tide goes out and everybody sees who's naked.
But it is very unlikely to go that long.
All these sociopaths are facing a huge collective action problem in that the first to break, gets hurt least. Some aren't sunk as deep as others, and have a chance at survival if they bail first.
They're blaming each other for having gotten them into this mess, and I'm sure there are any number of desperation plays cooked up.
Things get worse under pressure. Time is not their friend.
Have some popcorn.
A "currency" that tracks and archives how and when it changes hands is a means of social control.
Life is pain, princess.
Anyone who tells you anything else, is selling something.
