Never even thought it was possible these days.
Well, that's supposed to be the lesson from The Emperor Has No Clothes. When everyone keeps quiet, then no single person realizes how many people agree with them.
Every night on the news, it looks like you're alone and the communists are legion. Then one day you see that there are a lot of people who agree with you.
Drug cartels would be running it. It'd be pretty sad - pretty brutal for the inhabitants. I like to imagine that after a few years of that they'd wise up but this descent into shithole status has been ongoing for decades and few if any of them have been able to come to the conclusion that the government they keep electing is the entirety of the cause. They just move some place functional and repeat the cycle.
Still, the northern 1/3rd of California is deep red: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/California_Presidential_Election_Results_2016.svg
Maybe California could secede, then the northern part could secede from them and come back to the united states.
Submission Statement: this is a three year old article about how Freedom of Speech is actually a bad thing because sometimes people I don't like are able to speak too!!
The Left hates the concept of freedom of speech and is literally afraid of a supreme court that upholds that right for everyone. When the right was more firmly in power (culturally I mean) the left loved freedom of speech. The ACLU would defend the KKK's right to march down the street (they defended the KKK as cover to make themselves appear unbiased). They also used the concept to push all kinds of degeneracy into our society.
But now that the left is in power in the culture, they no longer need the concept of freedom of speech. Now that the left is in power, corporations allow leftist speech but deny conservative speech. So now the left openly hates the ideal called "freedom of speech" because right now, it means people on the right should be allowed to speak.
it can be shrunk.
It probably can't be. The constitution says judges, "shall hold their offices during good behaviour" which means they keep their job for as long as they like - not for a set period of years - but that you can impeach them for bad behavior.
If you tried to shrink the court from 13 to 7, and presumably you intended to fire the latest 6 judges who had been appointed by a democrat, you would be denying those 6 the right to "hold their office during good beahavior" - violating the constitution.
Frankly, it doesn't much matter at this point. The Left is in open rebellion. They openly and publicly call for the overthrow of the United States. The next time they get into power, the composition of the supreme court hardly even matters.
plus, there were several emails in the wikileaks dump about cooperation with the media. The most famous one was where Donna Brazile directly gave Hillary a debate question, but there were others too. One of the emails is about how The Colbert Report had done a piece on a Chelsie Clinton charity with the cooperation of the DNC. There's also the "pied piper strategy" in which they'd get the media to support (yes, support) Trump during the primaries because they thought he'd be the easiest one to defeat.
Can't the family of the murdered man sue for wrongful death? And I mean sue him personally. You could get more money suing the city, but you get more justice suing the man.
If he had done his job, that BLM cuck with the tat on his neck would have been in jail. Surely that's grounds for a wrongful death suit.
excuse me but this picture is a false representation! Kyle didn't have an ACOG (but maybe we should buy him one)
Agreed. If you don't let companies redeem themselves then you're as bad as the left.
Modern leftism is a religion, except that in a religion you can repent and be forgiven and there's a path to heaven. In SJW circles, you're guilty forever - you're tainted forever. Hell they're trying to cancel susan b. anthony now.
This is why nobody can go from the right to the left. They will never let you in. You'll always be a sinner.
I don't want to be like that. I want to welcome people and companies that change their mind.
some states have laws about recording conversations without consent of all parties.
That's a good point. I'm in a single-party-consent state but I advise everyone to research right now and find out what their local laws are.
I've thought about creating a thread on this, because I have put some thought into it.
(1) I bought a pen with a recording device in it. If my phone ever rings, and it's HR and they ask me to come by for a chat, I will shot up with that pen and a notepad, and I'll record the meeting.
(2) If they tell me someone has made a complaint, I'll ask to see the complaint with the accuser's name redacted. When they refuse to show me the complaint, I'll say that they're lying. They'll make the piccachu face, and I'll say that if you actually have a written complaint, then we cannot continue this discussion without reviewing specifics of the complaint, and I'll repeat that if they don't show me something in writing, it's logical for me to assume that nothing specific in writing exists, and that they're bullying me for some reason.
(3) If they admit that the complaint doesn't exist in writing, I'll say that for them to act without a specific written complain constitutes bullying. I will tell them straight up that right now, in this room, they are creating a hostile work environment for me. I will demand that they affirm their duty, as HR, to eliminating hostile work environments, and their duty to protect me from bullying by other employees. I wont let them change the subject after that - because they definitely will try.
(4) I'll end the meeting by telling them I'm going directly to a attorney to file a lawsuit over these employment conditions. I'll reiterate that for them to act on a complaint which they've admitted they don't have in writing, is for them to participating in bullying me in the workplace. And I'll reiterate that this is a hostile environment for me.
Then I'll walk out.
I'm seriously curious how this is not a civil rights violation. Surely if they said the message "white lives matter" was acceptable but "black lives matter" is not acceptable, they would be subject to a civil rights lawsuit.
Their defense in court will be, "white lives matter is a message used by white nationalists!" - to which I respond (a) the fact that other people say a phrase doesn't mean that I no longer have the right to say it. If I can point to black racists saying "black lives matter" that doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to say those words. (b) and in fact, I can point to black racists saying "blm" so here again, you have chosen to allow, by your own definition, a racist message, thus violating my civil rights.
This just seems like a slam dunk case to me. I have a mind go out and apply to work at Goodyear just so that I can get fired and sue them and retire comfortably. There's no way around it - this is a civil rights issue.
They like men who have a bit of an edge to them (bad boys are at least masculine - the alternative is often a leftist soy-cuck). They mistakenly think that in order to attract those men, they need to look the same way.
It's not unlike a nerdy male who fantasizes about an anime watching, video game playing, manic pixie dream girl ...and then proceeds to act that way himself - screaming, and being overly emotional.
It's dumb, but it's a common mistake people make: assuming the people they like will like the same things.
To any young men who happen to be on this forum, warning: the woman on the right is hard work. You're going to have to work hard before you meet her (keeping fit, having a profession that earns money, and learning skills like auto repair that make you useful to a family), and you're going to have to work hard after you meet her and for the rest of your life (you'll have to work a job, or be a business owner, obviously, but you'll also be working constantly around the house).
And the reward for this like is NOT the children she'll give you. You can have children with any of the women on the left for the price of a bit of pot, or maybe just waiting until the bar closes. No, the reward is not the children. The reward is family. The reward is respect.
Because I promise you, 99% of the women who will have sex with you will not respect you. They're taught to hate you. But, they're easy lays. So, that's your choice. You can work very, very hard for your entire life, and even then you may never meet a woman like the one of the right. Or you can have easy sex and drama and open disrespect and then she'll leave you (or you'll get a bit of self esteem and leave her) and you'll have nothing.
The thing is, there are far, far more marriage-worthy men competing for the woman on the right, than there are women on the right. You may never even meet one, and if you do, she may choose another man. You have to make yourself physically strong, keep yourself morally straight, be useful to a family in a hundred different ways (fixing stuff around the house is no joke). You also, quite frankly, do have to have a bit of "game" - a bit of experience with women so that you understand what makes them tick. I'm telling you, it's a lot of work. Anything worth having is. Don't imagine that you can just say to yourself, "oh yeah, I think I'll go for the girl on the right" and that's that, it'll happen for you. It wont. There are too few good women out there for you to get one without working for it.
Good luck.
I'm starting to feel sorry for these people.
