Watching is not enough. Absorb and accept the message. For America to live republicans must be broken down and driven into the sea. If we can kill their power at the ballot box, we can spare the people but any way it happens republicans must be stopped now and for a very long time.

I'm sure Greitens thought RINO hunting was a witty metaphor.  His blindspot seems to be for those among the base who don't understand metaphorical usage.  And for independents who are getting weary of the violent attack style.  I lived in Mizzou for a year, it's quite the weird blend of common sense people and shitstupid hillbillies.

Call me overly laid back, but I tend to take "[name] should be shot" comments on a political forum as venting, not planning.  Should also note DeeJ was suggesting lawful execution, not assassination.

Constructing a gibbet for the VP on the Capitol lawn, however...

Absolutely correct, Barton.  After a fair trial and having been found guilty of treason,
I believe capital punishment is what most Republicans would demand.
Televised by Fox with commercial free watching and sponsored by the NRA.
Free PR for AR-15 manufacturers is icing on the cake.
Indeed, capital punishment for treason is something Mango Unchained has advocated. Although, of course, his definition of "treason" is "opposing him".

Still doesn't take the Constitution's clear definition of treason.

Snicker!   Hadn't heard that one. 


The Maine decision fairly anodyne for this Court.  State gives money to other private schools, and the payments would likely benefit good teachers like my daughter - she teaches at a cash strapped parochial school and her pay really suffers while she ends up buying equipment out of pocket.  And the school teaches a standard secular curriculum that meets state standards, which I think is also the case in Maine.  So it's a situation where students and teachers would benefit from state help.

---The Texas Republican Party just voted 'overwhelmingly' to reject the legitimacy of Biden's 2020 election win and is trying to stir up fear about 'possible fraud' in the upcoming midterms---

They also voted to begin a secession process.  I think Texas should definitely do that.  See how long they manage with an energy policy moron at the helm, and no federal money, trade agreements with the world, or other amenities that derive from the Union.

I do not see how anyone who cares about this country could watch the Georgia Secy of State and the Speaker of the House in AZ and still support, in any way, the loser ex-president. Hell, it is hard to see how anyone can watch and not want to see him in chains.

One thing that the world always respected about the USA was that we were not corrupt, and that was part of the secret of our success. Americans have been good people who tried to do good things and we tried to elect good leaders. We tried to do what was right, and what was just, and we counted on good blessings from God for being good people and for our good deeds. But Trump does not understand all of that.

Trump wants to win at all costs, and he does not give a shit about right and wrong. And Trump is bringing about racism and other bad things, Trump is bringing out the worst in people, greed, selfishness, win at all costs, etc. We need to get back to the basics of being good people and voting for good people and we need to have good honest elections which are managed by good people.

We need to be good people, and we need for the good to be crowned with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

And we just removed a corrupt Mayor in Anaheim, he was selling out the people who he was elected to represent, he is a bad man. I hope Anaheim can travel down a good road now. I need to care and I need to be involved instead of feeling like an outsider, this is my home and I have lived in Anaheim for 20 years, and I was born here in Southern California, I need to stand up and demand honest leaders in City Hall, and we need for our leaders to serve the people. And you can see it in the streets on the issue of how the leaders are, if everything is nice and clean then the leaders are doing good, but if everything is dirty with homeless people, then you know the leaders are doing a bad job. Anaheim is rich, and we have Disneyland, everything needs to be nice and clean and we need to help our homeless people. We also need hostels like in Rome where people can take a shower and sleep in a bed for $15 per night. Also, we have a new development being built called the OC Vibe, which should be cool.

http://www.ocvibe.com

And in Los Angeles there are 60,000 homeless people, City Hall should have declared it a crisis a long time ago. And now crime is going up in Los Angeles, and the quality of life is going down. It is sad. California is a great state, but right now we have bad leaders who are not doing enough to help the people here. Rick Caruso wants to help the homeless, but he is rich and he can help homeless no matter what, if he wants to help the homeless then he can help them, I hope he wins and I hope he helps the homeless. And Hollywood is a treasure, all around the world the people ask about Hollywood, we need to clean Hollywood and take pride in Hollywood, and the jobs need to be brought back to Hollywood.

We need to clean up the corruption, and we need to see the results of good leadership and of good citizens in our communities. We need to help the homeless, and we need to clean things up and make things nice. And we need to build our high speed trains with Amtrak, etc.

And bad guys like Trump need to just go away. We need to elect people who represent what is best about America, and we need to bring back the world respect for the USA as a land without corruption. We also need to be the land of opportunity for the 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles, and for our refugees and immigrants.

Salute,

Tony V.

They also voted to begin a secession process.  I think Texas should definitely do that.  See how long they manage with an energy policy moron at the helm, and no federal money, trade agreements with the world, or other amenities that derive from the Union.

As a net donor state, in standard looks at the economics of money given into the federal pot versus money received from it, one might think that they would be okay.

But the give/take picture ignores money spent by the federal government in the state, but not passing through the state's coffers. That means the US military bases, which generate over $130 billion in activity per year, while contributing either directly or indirectly more than 800,000 jobs. It means the border, which the US covers, in addition to the $3 billion Texas is already spending there (including $1 billion of COVID money they transferred to it). So much more.

So, yes, it would be interesting to see how they managed, were they to actually secede, but I don't see its happening.
