She took some awesome shots, kudos! I took some too, but without zoom, so they only came out so so.

They aren’t coming to save us. But they sure are doing everything that they can to try to enslave us.

As bad as democrats are, you can always, always count on republicans to crush your throat with anti-liberty, pro-police state legislation. Every time.

. . The power of mass media takes advantage of human nature. Target audiences are presented with images and sounds that are naturally appealing. Then a new idea or suggested action is equated with the appealing scene, and the observer is unconsciously nudged to adopt the new behavior. For example, a commercial might show a happy family playing around the backyard swimming pool of a large house. Smiles and laughter abound. Smoke from barbecued meat drifts through the air and creates an imaginary aroma. Then an attractive mother looks to the camera and claims that she uses this product, or supports this politician, or believes in this idea. Because the staged family seems ideal, the viewer imagines herself as part of it, and while placing herself inside the narrative, she is subtly drawn to the product or concept being promoted. This is propaganda’s version of the Transitive Property of Equality: if the target identifies with the actors, and the actors identify with a product, then the target will identify with that product, too. . . https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/04/no_author/popular-nullification-of-the-states-propaganda/

Unmasking Democracy: A Moral Virtue or a Flawed Tool?

Except for Anti Federalist He can pick up the slack for the rest of everyone :p

Before the "No Way! Everybody Should Pay Their Fair Share!", I am all for it. If it takes off then we can all hop on the band wagon. And if not we, then at least it will help starve the state somewhat. And if they raise taxes on the rest of us, well, blame yourselves for allowing it to happen???

"Lied"? Coming from the guy who paid to have his on-the-record stuff wiped for his political run. For such a fast talker, he is careful, I'll give him that :rolleyes:

Great. More social security use & abuse, which was only supposed to be used for............... Social Security. Anyway, I can't wait to see the excuses if/when Trump "wins". Because then that will be ok. Right?

How generous of the two-faced politician /slash/ opportunist who is up for reelection. Oh, I know, it was jdyvgzfbgghgfdop’s fault, so he had to do it. Nice sales-pitch. Not.

1:28:30 is all that needs to be said. Issues concerning poverty, suicide, mental health, etc. should be addressed separately, keeping in mind that much of these problems are caused by government, pharmaceutical, education, etc., which opens up other big cans of worms. It's not "the guns".

Beating this dead horse yet again; it is an invitation. It can't and never will be be stopped until the funding is stopped. The only other option is to continue the funding while building up the police-state . Immigration is not the problem, it is your tax dollars that the Fed.gov is taking and using to facilitate this.

Either way, pick your poison, we've been moving toward fascism at an accelerated rate. At this point the people are more concerned about their team winning than they are principles based on freedom. Some states will kick back, but they're moving in that direction too.

Especially after Trump, and now Biden, and the fact that it is between these two in the upcoming "election", Fed.Gov says: "We Got This!" .

I tried looking for that too. Unless I missed something, I didn't see anything.

Me too, including using various words to search on. I just thought somebody might see something that I missed. I like to look at actual bills because anybody can say anything and/or take things out of context - we have enough other things to worry about.
