It really does keep feeling more and more like America has had its last president and we are just going into the crisis period where an emperor is made. Ave Caesar. Make sure to bribe the praetorians (or don't).

Then again, the anointed are never known for their good sense or restraint....

Well, maybe not Dr. 'Dick' anymore, eh?

Probably the ONLY way I'd EVER tune back in to FOX news is if they went gloriously mad and made Alex Jones their CEO. I can't even imagine what it would become, but I know it would be something to watch live.

“but I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly.”

Because that is what makes someone a Catholic; showing up to a social gathering in a particular place regularly and not actually living by or supporting the faith it represents.

They worship the State and their own progressive ideals, nothing more, no matter what they label themselves or disguise they wear to look like the people they trick into supporting them. A giant cuckoo, growing fat while its "parents" work themselves to death feeding it.

Back to GOP standard practices; bitch about liberals, unfair practices and bad policy to garner support and gain power, only to do the same things but slower and punk out on good ideas because of "push back."

Will there be a new Julius Caesar or a new Cato the Younger after this likely Sulla period? Will it go the same?

Only if I drop and lose yet another firing pin retaining pin coincidentally at the same time. Those things seem to transport to some other dimension before they hit floor.

I'd say something like "When did statesmanship become dominated by social climbers and kingmakers" but I think the answer would drive me to some kind of self-destruction.

The poor and the young are going to have an absolutely nightmare of a time getting anywhere, once again... No wonder they all want communism.

Minimum wage prices them out of a job, since people with more experience will keep working when jobs dry up, just lower down the totem pole, plus those on fixed incomes returning to work to supplement worthless pensions/etc. Flood of new, low skill workers looking for any job at all. Taxed to pay for welfare, medicaid, social security and other benefits they likely won't get to benefit from for political reasons. More people to take massive government subsidized student loans to feed to worthless beast. Housing becoming even more unaffordable in the urban areas these people will flock to for the jobs/gibs, while willing to live 4-6 per bedroom (just like home). Food production is already taking significant hits recently and prices are likely set to rise....

The end result of constantly taking the "opposite" viewpoint to argue is eventually you start sounding like a retard to anyone with a whiff of critical thinking. And by no coincidence has educational standards slipped so very low (while somehow retaining elevated graduation rates).

Heh. An American company, operating in Canada, sued by a Canadian in a Canadian court under Canadian law, asks for protections offered by US law to be applied to the case.

And here I thought all these corporations were specifically locating themselves in other countries specifically to avoid US law against thing like; Taxation, slave labor, child labor, minimum wage, workplace safety, etc...

Predict the future and plan accordingly. Truly self-sufficient communities. States that ditch the dollar/fed reserve. Black market/barter. Bail on the US entirely. Owning a resource based business or "owning" human capital. If you use the money or the monetary system, you can't avoid the hazards while reaping only the benefits without being involved in how it is governed, pandered to by those who do or being so valuable no one will touch you more than necessary.

Not seeing into the future has laid the best laid plans to ruin more than any other reason....

You have to tailor the level of your argument/propaganda to the level the audience understands,

Its just that fucking bad. God help us.

Motion sensor lights are always helpful, especially if it kicks on only after they are well into your property. If you can wire into the circuit past the motion sensor up to another that would alert you inside the house... preferably have a way to turn the alarm part off when not needed.

Could you mount the flag pole higher up out of casual reach?

Their powers are whatever they can get away with and are restricted by only the rules they can't (or don't yet dare) avoid, break freely or erase. "Living Constitution" is code for "It says whatever I want it to."

They passed regulations making it so that if a power company keeps the electricity flowing during "fire weather conditions" (dry weather, high winds) and the state can "prove" (blame) the power company's downed (fire damaged) cables/transformers/power stations "caused" it, they are financially responsible for damages/lost lives.

So now they just shut the grid down whenever there is any risk of fire or any alerts put out.

A big, beautiful, bullet/bomb/missile proof, 40 foot tall wall with armed guard towers, machine gun emplacements, AA/Surface to Air defenses, nuclear deadman's switch and a big "spa" facility in the basement. They have to protect us, by protecting themselves, you see.

A pardon would be good, but if you can't get him out of the hands of the UK first, they'll just leave him to rot there. Can't try him, he's innocent by their own laws and regulations, and doing so would put tons of journalists at risk of prosecution too (not that Obama/Biden would mind.) Can't let him go without admitting fault, looking weak or letting it be know what he "did to them" was OK.

One man, one pistol, a fistful of ammo and a dream! Or not. Gotta love (not) people who know nothing of guns. 500 rounds? Thats 3-5 range trips. 10 if you want to stretch it. They always throw out "He had hundreds of rounds of ammo!" like it meant he means to kill hundreds...somehow. "It was loaded!" Ok, and? What is the significance of it being loaded NOW and being loaded in the few seconds it takes to slam a mag in?

It always struck me as crazy that people can propose bills or legislation that clearly violates constitutional protections and there is no means by which to remove them from office/censure them immediately for having done so. But then I remember that the constitution has been swiss cheesed for every year for 200 years or more by now.....
