But can be, is.

Your language module has glitched out. It ruins the illusion that you may have once been a real boy.

Toby is a true patriot, ask anyone...he'll live forever thru his music.

He wrote the song;

Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of July

[facilitatorn]

You have sociopathy and patriotism confused now.

Your glitch just gets worse and worse all the time.

You are welcome. Preaching to the choir unfortunately. Pearlstein is one of the best.

Say.  Has any razor wire been removed by the Feds in Texas?

Not sure.

But, there is this;

Vance unveils bill barring feds from taking down border ...

thehill.com

25 Jan 2024 - JD Vance (R-Ohio) introduced legistaion Thursday that would prohibit the federal government from removing the fencing at the U.S.-Mexico border...

Yeah, that asshat is big on useless grandstanding. Maybe he can make himself useful and vote for what the Wall Street Journal recognizes as the most conservative immigration bill in US history, and Lindsay Graham noted is far better than they would get in any other circumstances. But he will not because like the majority of the rest of his party in Washington he is more interested in perpetuating a campaign talking point than actually solving anything. Plus, as a useless asshat he sees himself as the king of a useless asshats, the VP for Trump, and will not let anything stand in his way. Not even his 2016 self. Also, Hillbilly Elegy sucked.

Not needed. The Feds, even with Constitutional backing, know the optics of tearing down Texas fencing is bad PR for Joe. No wonder he is going diss the Super Bowl CBS interview and pout in his basement while watching old Francois Mitterrand speeches.

"Never apologise for being patriotic" - Toby Keith

Performative patriotism is not necessarily patriotic.

But can be, is.

Actually it usually is not. It is more being seen - even by one's self - as patriot, not actually being one. But usually that 'patriotism" of extends as far as their political ideology and no further. That is why you had people draped in flags trying to violently overturn a free and fair election.

The soul of country music is Willie Nelson and The Chicks.

Billy and Willie recorded a duet.

My comment was not specific to Mr. Keith. Always liked this story of his first appearance on The Colbert Report:

Toby had a good time too, because after the show, I was headed to a postmortem meeting and he was coming out of his green room. Those rooms are on the same hallway. As he was heading for the door that goes down to 54th Street, he caught my eye and said:

bambuworld had many people draped in the flag on Australia day.
Patriots all.
As were those wearing flags in their hats, one, an elderly man, being arrested ridiculously for 'inciting a riot' by cops.
Your election protesters were patriots, totally misguided on the day, thought they were in a war to save America.

News yesterday, cautiously broadcast, mentioned that Captain James Cook, a hero, who was attacked,  mutilated, and thrown off his memorial in Melbourne on Australia Day eve by Australia-haters, might still be alive, and in time could return to his monument home...victorious.
Here's hoping.
There would be much celebration.

Refusal to accept the result of a democratic, free and fair election in a democracy because you lost is the opposite of patriotism. Those people do not love their country, they love their political views.

And that of all the people draped in the Aussie flag and wearing them in their hats one and only one was arrested for inciting a riot nist.confirms to me that you are relating roughly 10% of the story. Probably because you have only been told that much and are too stupid and gullible to have any doubts about the shit being regurgitated into your eager mouth.

I tried scrolling over the blank, but there was nothing hidden in a white font.  So, inquiring minds want to know...

I finally figured out how to disable some of the security on Firefox and log in here with that browser.  They don't make it easy.  Basically, the browser has to ignore all the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which is the de facto means for establishing security on the Web.  COULD SOMEONE CONTACT LIQUIDSILVER AND HAVE HIM DO THE BARE MINIMUM OF UPDATING HIS FUCKING THREE YEARS EXPIRED SSL CERTIFICATE?  AND FIX THE GODDAMMNED APOSTROPHE/QUOTE MARKS?



SCROTUS:   

Listened to the oral arguments for a while.  The Supremes are not making it easy for Murray.  Very tough room.  They seem to be steering past the establishing that Trump disqualified himself by fomenting insurrection and letting section 3 execute, and drilling down on technical procedural questions.  Not a good sign for the Colorado action, right?

Oh it's a thing.

9 Oct 2023: 'Sydney Opera House Rally: Police defend arrest of man carrying Israeli flag amid outrage over antisemitic chants..."for his own safety".

Cops in Melb now denying man with flag in hat was arrested.

Cops seem to arrest you, remove you from where they don't like you being, then release you somewhere else.

Cops haven't done very well in the populairty stakes in recent times.
