January 20th 2025 - Donald Trump is BACK!

I am on public (very public) record as saying the BLM rioters had the right to burn down the police department.

They were redressing grievances.

I am on public (very public) record as saying the BLM rioters had the right to burn down the police department.

For some reason I believe that, lol. Let's be honest, if the roles were reversed, not a single person on here would say something like-

If these men saw it as overthrowing a Tyrannical Form of Government who am I to judge that and say it’s not as they were acting within the legal rights of the land that the Bill of Rights established.

We'd all be laughing, posting memes, or saying a lot worse and Mark C would be having a meltdown.

No, they were not invited inside.

Proven by others. Also there were at least 26 federal agents in crowd.

That makes absolutely zero sense. They were certifying Biden's victory that day. Why on earth would Pelosi stop the Biden certification? Come on.

Because Congressman supported by Senator can complain election was improper for their state. If complaint was accepted, electors will thrown out.

With enough thrown out electors, there is special case. I forgot name. Now each state with send one delegate who will vote per instruction by state parlaments. Since Republicans have controlled more state parlaments than Democrats, Trump would win.

Horewer, if some emergency happens, then House Speaker and Vice President can certify election.

This is way Pelosi needed invented emergency.

National Guard is under the command of the Governors of the US states, the Governors may loan them to the Pentagon, but they can yank that away. Part of the checks and balance of the USA. The nuclear weapons dropping B2 stealth bombers? Missouri Air National Guard.

No completely. They are federalized according to need. And here we are speaking about non-state territory.

Troops under the command of the Pentagon may not be used as paramilitary forces within the US. I would assume that would include federalized National Guard units as well.

How you think real rebellion is crushed? By army. Army isn't allowed police duties.

One could argue that the Boston Tea Party was also not an insurrection.

That was real insurrection.

Germany, 1930s, the SA was not heavily armed at the time.

There were 20 insurrections in Weimar Germany from 1914 - 1924. What is funny is total impotence of state to crush them.

Freikorps had to save Germany at these time. They show how real insurections are crushed. By river of blood, not jail time (that's for unlucky survivors).

the average cost of a car in the USA is ~$45,000, electric cars are currently higher on average, but closing the GAP

Method of operation is to raise costs for regular people by any means neccesary. They being people, they fail too often.

Ah yes the elites. It is always some elites that get blamed.

Because there are only two ways to earn money. Economic by voluntary transcation with mutual benefits for both side.

Political where force or threat of force is used for one sided transactions.

Using force enables elites to stay in power and shape society for their benefits. If most of property is shared by political support rather than created by free market, then your own standing in society and your material comfort can only be secured by supporting current ruling class.*

Therefore, ruling class always has interest in expanding political methods of getting property because it drives demand for elite services (they write all laws) and makes elites more secure.

Sadly for them, communism doesn't work. Horewer, from elite standpoint they are still on top and suffer least.

What about removing the double digit billions that the oils and gas industry gets?
What about removing the government underwriting of the insurance of nuclear powerplants. I think that nuclear power plants should be 100% insured via the privat market (no private insurance company will take on the risk, since you are bankrupt if something goes wrong)
What about removing the subsidy for Hurricane insurance in Florida?

Great ideas.

Yet so many people get triggered by the EV subsidies.

Because people got wiser with times.

First new product is introduced, with subsidies if needed. Then slowly new regulation strangle any competition throught time.

With time people accept new product and forgot all other ways.

EV vehicles are part of this. It's obvius ruling class wants to eliminate all ICEs.

Also, since EV are more expensive than ICEs, subsidies for EVs are subsidies for rich.

I would actually be curious to see green libertarian coalition. Environmental policies balanced by a more pragmatic capitalistic approach. Which in Europe might work.

Won't work since there aren't enough green believers in Europe. And I prefer product without green add-on costs.

Bt the way, there is one such party in Croatia. At elections last year they lost all seats bar one. Geniuses.

*Most easily seen in communist regimes. There is no open dissident.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying. Are you saying that if leftists had performed J6 the everyone here would be condemning them as insurrectionists?

That’s possible. Tribalism is a seductive siren call. I don’t know that it would be that cut and dried yet.

Here’s he proof! One of my “fans” didn’t appreciate the view and tried to weapon use a clip. Which I wholeheartedly approve of!
