That reminds me of another example of "We're from the government, and we're here to help ...":

Please let this be true. A tar-and-feathering (optionally followed by a running-out-of-town-on-a-rail) is probably too much to hope for. But this would be a start ... "People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people."

You are welcome, comrade! Voting hard is the most powerful tool in our arsenal, and the urge to deploy it in conjunction with other tried-and-true weapons (such as SWLODs) is a mighty (indeed, nigh irresistible) temptation - but for the sake of Our Democracy, which is fragile and likely cannot withstand such potent combinations, we must restrain ourselves, lest we destroy that which we hope to salvage. Let us instead endeavor to keep our minds upon our labors, and to leave matters of the State to the State.

Sent that all to him and thanks for the update. Keep us posted and let us know if you need anything. GunnyFreedom is out there on scene somewhere as well.

Had one reply so far. Would be nice to match Phill's outlay of $1000.

Meh. The Small Hat Club owns this government. They would get what they wanted, regardless.

The objectively correct thing to say would have been "Biden doesn't even know a hurricane just destroyed a bunch of three states of the country he's supposed to be president of". Why use this to react with hyper aggression? This is the reason I don't like Trump - when you can get him to calm TF down and discuss things rationally he's open to policies that aren't batshit insane, but that's not his default mode. He has no filter and if he has no filter it means he's constantly making snap judgments and not taking a minute to think things through. I don't know about the rest of you but I get a lot more meaningful work done if I take five extra seconds to think about what I'm doing and be sure it's the right path. And it's obvious he suffers from the same problems as when I don't, and he seems oblivious to it. People who get into their 70s without recognizing major character flaws like that should be pitied, not put in leadership positions.

You said it was "the new bill". That would imply there was an old law or no law.

Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.

Ah good, I'm glad to see it has been changed.

Is it your contention that Walz never signed such a law that repealed, I'm assuming, mandatory medical care for babies born alive after a failed induced abortion? Or that no babies died on the table because of it? Should be easy enough to prove one way or the other.

Yah, that fizzled fast. Calls were made. Back in the 70s these guys knew how to strike. Why is everything today so fake, phoney and gay?

See? That’s why I’m just a plebe and you occupy a position of power and authority here. It’s that rock solid, level-headed judgement. Clearly you’re correct and I was going off half-cocked. I won’t let it happen again. Thanks for pulling me back from the brink!

Isn’t that the best kind?

Bow chicka wow wow? ;)

From the comments at the video (by @joleighva): I’m a retired Fire Dept Paramedic. I have lost count how many seizure calls I worked over my career. This is honestly the worst thing I’ve ever seen, and I have seen some seriously awful things- enough to give me C-PTSD. This man was in a post-ichtal state. It’s the period where the person’s brain is rebooting. During that time they need minimal stimulation. Minimal questions. Minimal touching. This entire situation, the patients’ agitation, was initially caused by the police, putting their hands on him, yelling commands, and roughing him up. Shame on this paramedic for not telling them to back off! Shame on this paramedic for not standing between them and their patient! Police officers are a hammer and all they ever see are nails. Everyone who isn’t cooperative they think it’s on purpose. I have had to physically get between one and my patient several times. I’ve had to ask cops to leave because they don’t understand what’s happening. They sure as hell would not send my firefighters away, who know to follow my instructions, and stay there instead. The person in charge of this scene is the Paramedic, because it is a medical call! Medical calls don’t need Police, if medics need help restraining a PATIENT, that’s what the Firefighters are for. Now for the medic. This paramedic is going to end up without a certification, never work in the medical field again, and in jail for manslaughter, and they deserve it. Every medication they gave this man when he was awake and talking were contraindicated for seizure, because HE WASN’T SEIZING ANYMORE and I guarantee you not on any of their protocols. Each med then became a separate assault. At this point they were practicing medicine without a license! That they allowed themselves to be manipulated by the police into thinking of their patient as a suspect is unconscionable. If you showed this video to every Paramedic in the US, 99% of them (I allow that 1% could be too ignorant or uneducated) would say the same as me. I feel sick. I couldn’t watch all of it at one time. I had to do it in spurts. THIS is the great responsibility a Paramedic carries every day. To do no harm. You’re physically able to give people medications that CAN KILL THEM. When given properly and under protocol. I don’t know a greater responsibility than that. Let me tell you how these calls usually go. You get there after the seizure has ended and the patient is post-ichtal. You gently get a set of vitals if it doesn’t rile the patient too much. If they are in a safe space, turned on their side is great, but not absolute, you leave an EMT with them while you speak to family quietly in another room and get the history/med info/identifying information/etc so the person’s brain has time to come back to normal. You return to the patient and try asking simple questions that don’t need brainpower to answer. Within a few minutes, the person can sit up and talk to you, though they are still very groggy. At that point, you ask if you can take them to the hospital. If they say yes, you do. If they say no, you ask them four orientation questions to determine if they’re oriented to person/place/time/event. (What’s your name? Where are we right now? What month is it? What happened today?) If they answer those questions appropriately, they are oriented and can REFUSE to be transported. You advise them that you feel they should go, and by refusing they are doing so against medical advice. If they still refuse, they sign a refusal form, you advise them to call back if needed, and you leave. If an oriented person who refused treatment and transport is forced to go to the hospital it is now ASSAULT & BATTERY and KIDNAPPING. People have a Constitutional right to make bad decisions against medical advice as long as they’re oriented X4. People who have seizures often refuse treatment and transport because all they’re going to do at the hospital is check their med levels and...

JFC...assuming this is happening, Haitians eating cats, which I'll admit I've seen no hard evidence of such in Springfield but I've certainly seen it before, both in Haiti and South Florida, but never mind that. It's a matter of norms, civility and standards. I don't want to live in a community where my pet cat might end up on a spit for dinner, regardless of whose meal it is going to become. I have right to say that and prevent that from happening. You'd argue the "right" to shit on the street.

I saw that and didn't watch it because I already know the answer, and so does everyone else. I don't live in New York so I only know one person who "died of Covid" and she was a hypochondriac that they tied to a bed and vented and nocebo'd her to death.

Four years ago I was showing my daughter some historical presidential debates so she could see what it was supposed to be like, before we watched the shitshow that was Trump an Biden's debate. One of them was Carter/Reagan in 1980. It was a weird experience - knowing what I know now, and having no clue what the zeitgeist was in 1980 (I was six), going just by the debate we watched, I totally would have voted Carter. The more I learn about him, the more I get the impression that he was a well-meaning person who was given a system that had only recently been unhinged from commodity money, at a point where it had already attracted a bunch of lampreys, and given a false mandate that he had to do something. And he did things, and he did things that some of those lampreys liked, but not enough of EXACTLY what they wanted, because he was using his judgment too. I think he's gone down in history as being one of the worst probably only because he wasn't in synch with the parts of the deep state that were already in place. And I can't hold that against him.

This is off topic of this thread, but this is much more important. This is one reason why there is room in Springfield for 20,000 Haitian bioweapons.
