Can't fight it forever and the Court has spoken so the best we can do is not think about it or try to restrict it to make us feel less gross.

    I just hope January 6th doesn't become our Beer Hall Putsch.

    Nice line. Reminds me of, "I was only following orders" or "I was only for choice".

    Me too but the incident has greater similarities to King Street in Mar 1770.

    Last summer looked a lot like Kristallnacht if you’d like to stick with German historical analogies.

    Yes, with ease Bobbie. And Jan 6th does not compare as well to the German union hall rabble rousing. The BM had more similarities. A group who felt disenfranchised protesting at a gov’t building. Both even had unarmed citizens shot by gov’t forces. Alas, the situations diverge from and before there. Care to discuss or is LOL the best you would like to contribute?

    Yeah. And what exactly is wrong with Libertarians, or their analysis?

Read about 95% of articles that are attached to this forum. However, try to stay away from Vox. Not because it’s left, because I don’t like their approach to articles and business model. They tell you how to interpret news which I find assaulting. Kinda makes fell like I’m in grade school. Of course, that’s where my mentality is lol.
    Did you mean Vice and not Vox there? I admit I have never really read much of Vox. I like vice for its reporting on foreign issues. They also seem to hit them pretty fair, but I think they focus too much on fringe stuff here which leans to the left. My mother in law sent us a couple copies of her favorite Falun Gong epoch times newspaper. Good lord is that a complete rag.

    I don’t align with the idea that I have mine and the rest can screw themselves. There are many things that are for the public good and should not be privatized. I also agree with Holmes from about 100 years ago…taxes are the price we pay for civilized society.

    Wait a group complaining about taxes mirrors 1/6 a group trying to take over the peaceful and fair transition of government and hang Mike Pence? The two could not be more different.

    Yeah, also read up on ballot dumps and election laws pertaining to the timing of when they can start counting absentee ballots. Those dumps were not what you were told they were.
