    Is this the branch of the family that's actually scared of being shot? Or is there a different explanation?

    Ever look to the west and see a wall cloud approaching? All this and we know they plan to use the resulting chaos to impose all kinds of tyranny. The rednecks have a name for this feeling. They call it pucker factor.

    I'm not talking about his positions. Hell, he doesn't really have any. In 2016 he was spewing tweets on every side of every issue. This time he hasn't come down firmly on a damned thing but money for Israel. Which was one thing more than I expected from him. I'm talking about his Master of Apprentices persona. I'm talking about watching that develop. I haven't seen footage of Phillip Whazisname before he became Dr. Phil™, and hell, RFKJr was born a public figure. But I have seen Trump when he wasn't putting on this act, and I find it interesting.

    It's interesting to go back to the interviews of soft-spoken Democrat Trump in the Eighties. Then you can catch some through the Nineties and beyond and see him adapt to and perfect this Master of Apprentices character.

    People are starting to get off their asses, and the clown show is the reason why. Reinstalling Trump is more likely to cause them to sit their lazy asses down again. That's why Trump is being set up to pull down an honest, undeniable landslide, so we will sit down and do nothing while they build FEMA camps. If not, I do think that the swamp will drain him. Regardless of whether he goes in intending to drain it, he will have to. Deciding not to could be the last thing he ever does.

    FTFY. I'll give you through 2019, but 2020 was an unmitigated disaster. Race riots, lockdowns, spending fiascos, suspension of civil liberties, election rigging, censorship... On all his watch. If we can't expect better than that, it's time for the bunker.

    That's what I have been saying all along is the fallacy of MAGA. Politicians did not make America great in the first place, and as it has cycled up and down, they were never the ones who made it great again. You think Trump sucks at picking only the best people. I think he picked the team that would do what he wanted to do. Either way, it doesn't matter much. Government needs purged. Trump is not the hand grenade so many people thought he was in 2016. He didn't even rise to the level of a monkey wrench in the Deep State works. Reinstalling him and expecting a different result looks to me like collectively living the definition of insanity. Will RFKJr. do better? That's something we don't already know. But we do know that he, very much unlike Trump, Must Not Be Named. And I came away from 2008 and 2016 considering that a very good sign. Another pair of signs I see also gives me food for thought. Trump has not only demonstrated a willingness (maybe even a desire) to resort to draconian measures, but his base loves him for it. They accept the necessity of draconian actions when he does them without question and treat anyone who does ask questions the way liberals treat dissenters.

    The great thing about having my first principles straightened out is it's easy to make absolutely correct snap judgments. This is all I need to know, straight from his pen: There are only two majority opinions on this. The first position is you never defund a government program, at all. Maybe there's a need sometimes for an external entity like an uber-powerful superpower to invade and topple your government and put in all new programs that will never be defunded, but the idea of removing funding from a program is otherwise anathema. The second position is you call for defunding a program you really don't like, and score some political points off of calling for defunding, but never actually tie it off. So it's the same as the first position but with some lie theater to advance some parasite's personal lot in life. Both positions are abhorrent and we've seen both expressed in articles in this thread. I didn't read the whole article and I don't need to - he's clearly in the first category, and that's all I need to know.

    The DC area NPR affiliate does pretty well with their playlists, but there's still the Saturday afternoon opera. I love classical music, even going into some of the modernist stuff, but opera, in general, may as well be Noh theater to me. As my dad used to say: hours of caterwauling with a nice aria in between. Then one beautiful spring Saturday morning last year, I was inexpertly making up some way-too-strong CBD oil from a not-low THC strain and accidentally licked my fingers before going to Hobby Lobby. And while I was sitting in the parking lot too scared to go inside, I heard this: I had one of those moments of profound beauty that was carved into my entire soul for life, and NPR's crappy programming was responsible. I can't hate on it entirely.

    And neither side will ever mention that Trump assassinated a general of a country we're not at war with, while the general was officially visiting another country we're not at war with. It doesn't really matter who he was or what he was doing - if those were facts on the ground, that's the sort of thing that not very long ago in history would have invited reprisals like collecting all the hands and feet of everyone in an entire city and throwing them in a pile and watching them all bleed out. If there's one thing Trump did during his presidency, it was to show that Iran is absolutely not the boogeyman everyone thinks they are. If they were, they had every casus belli they needed to be the worst boogeyman they could be on that occasion.

    First off, Ron doesn't want tariffs. He'll accept low, uniform tariffs as a less obtrusive alternative to other forms of taxation. To state that he wants them is wholly disingenuous. Secondly, the purpose of low, uniform tariffs is NOT to give an advantage to domestic producers. That's what protectionist tariffs desire. And they attempt to accomplish that at the expense of the American consumer. The purpose of low, uniform tariffs on all imports, regardless of product or nation of origin, is to provide the federal government with some minimal operating revenue so they don't have to resort to other forms of wealth extraction from the American public (income taxes, debt, currency devaluation). You can't just say all tariffs are the same and Ron wants them. That's a demonstrable lie.

    Well, boys, we've reduced him to spamming like a cracked vinyl record again. Suppose he really thinks spamming us will cause us to unsee the difference between uniform tariffs and protectionist tariffs? Suppose he really thinks spamming us will cause us to unsee the fact that tariffs couldn't possibly raise the amount of money Trump gave Big Pharma to poison us?

    Since when is the "We got a badass over here" meme "gay"? It's been all over the interwebz for many moons and it's used by all sorts of folks. There are several samples in the various "bestest picture thread evarrr"-s.
  8. The reason I have no use for monarchies is it's complete pot luck what you get. If your generation gets a Victoria, you could be in worse shape (assuming her advisors aren't lying to her about what they're doing), but if you get an Ivan the Terrible you're screwed. I prefer a system that at least holds out hope for nonviolent revolution, whether people are generally smart enough to use it or not.

    And I'm pretty sure you meant neither Bismarck nor the kaiser.

    You're right, I should have said the Kaiser, not Bismarck. :/ (My WWI history is rather rusty...I do remember Hitler suffered from mustard gas inhalation during that war and a bunch of other factoids) Yeah, monarchs have been somewhat fascist in certain occasions, but they always had incentive not to destroy their subjects' economy or their own respective societies as presidents and prime ministers or even legislators do. (such elected officials almost always leave office very wealthy and almost never face justice for their misdeeds) Generally speaking, the best to worst scale goes- voluntary association with government>hereditary monarchy>monarchy>classical republicanism>modern constitutionalism>democracy etc.
