of us would be very pleased if this crap ended! I just get sick and tired of the petty despotism!

bit of a kook, so it pains me to acknowledge that he is absolutely right, here:
THIS is a cosmic level of despotism! Just stunning.
I mean, this is Revolutionary War stuff. No wonder Leftists hated the Tea Party so and Obama was so desperate to strangle it in its crib!
I don’t know
if it’s true, but I sure hope so!
Yes, just what is Biden
Joe Biden’s Jan 6 speech raises some interesting problems. What does he really want to achieve by declaring his foes outlaws? Even if he succeeds in jailing, disqualifying or otherwise delegitimizing his 2024 political opponents, the challenge to “our democracy” he posits will not go away for two reasons. First, the crisis facing the status quo does not arise from one man, Donald Trump, but from the failure of the establishment to deliver across a wide range of issues. Second, the discontent of which Trump is a figurehead now includes significant parts of the electorate and has political strongholds in a number of states.
This means the “insurrection” that Biden wants to stop cannot be decapitated by simply jailing one man because it does not arise from one man nor inhere in a single individual. Any realistic preemptive strike against the rebels must be broader in extent than any process the justice and police system has contemplated so far. If Joe wants to use force he will have to brandish a much bigger gun than heretofore with all the danger of escalation that entails.
I think the answer (at least one of them) is that Joe Biden is not really all that bright. And like many Leftists, he thinks with his spleen rather than with his brain. He is, at heart, a vicious despot. And therefore he does vicious despot things.
Recent political developments become less confusing when we relax the assumption that events are ultimately about America. Ambiguity is the enemy of constitutional democracy, but confusion is the friend of operators and dealers. Perhaps the correct paradigm is not to judge events through the prism of national interest but by the criteria of factional gain. Then a third possibility emerges: maybe 2024 is not about “democracy” or “elections” but a political bank robbery in progress.
It’s called
“Irish Democracy.” One would have to be a fool, indeed, to side with these despots!
While most gun owners acting in defiance of the law aren’t advertising their refusal to comply, there are some who aren’t afraid of poking the bear. Darren Bailey, a former legislator, 2022 Republican candidate for governor, and current congressional candidate, has repeatedly dared Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois State Police to come and arrest him this week for keeping ahold of his so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines without registering them with the ISP.
a sympathetic bunch. They were (most of them) obviously innocent and have been unjustly and harshly treated by raging despots in oder to score political points. These political prisoners are pretty dang sympathetic.
An increasingly divided America is starting to show support for the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioters, with over four-in-10 believing that they had a point or acted appropriately in forcefully disagreeing with Congress’s certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory.
“Rioters.” Yeah, riiiiight.
Because YOU as a normal person would quite likely have innocently done the same things they did. And you would have spent years as a political prisoner in an American Gulag for it!
Yeah, the CO
Supreme Court have mired themselves in banana republic crap. It is transparently partisan. VERY thinly-veiled!
Thinking and even halfway moral people are deeply offended!
Gee, no wonder
Democrats are frantic to get Trump thrown off the ballot! They simply can’t beat him at the ballot box!
Long-term (even medium-term) their gambit won’t work, you know. At best, it will just make lots of people seething mad.
You KNOW they
will try and make you eat bugs, right? I mean, of course they won’t do it themselves, but if they can, they will make you.
Shut up and eat your mealworms, peasant!
