I'm a constitutionalist. But if the federal government isn't doing what the Constitution told it to do, and is doing things that the Ninth and Tenth Amendments told it not to do, then yes. States should step up and do what the federal government refuses to do, with or without Washington's permission.

It's definitely an interesting choice for a Democrat to offer.

I thought your counterpoint was plain and clear, as to a reason why dollar unit use is up. Rising DXY has shown it lately. DXY is merely a measure of supply and demand of a currency. What the chart doesn't account for is that gold is shooting up in tandem with the dollar, which is usually an inverse relationship. So what does Sowdry's chart, along with DXY rising -and- gold rising tell us? It tells us that a dwindling supply of dollars are being used to buy hard assets around the world. Aka dollar dumping.

OK, fess up, which one of you guys linked Donnie to this thread? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/19/trump-media-alerts-nasdaq-to-potential-market-manipulation-from-short-selling.html

It's easy to get off of jury duty if you want to. I tried to stay on jury duty once but when the prosecutor found out I had just finished law school I knew I was gone. I made that SOB use a strike though!

LOL. I'm going to use that one today!

You're just seriously trying to make me prejudiced against white males.

We celebrate what we've done with the internet, and we should. But they discovered an interesting trait of it, and they're using the hell out of it. They've created not just one artificial reality, but two. They've created an overt Officially Approved Reality where sterilizing your children is a perfectly rational thing to do, assisted by The Science™. And they've created a covert Rebel Reality where no woman in any city over 100,000 goes unraped. There is a definite pattern of spin to the rebel narrative too. That couldn't happen back when there were four networks. People were likely enough to have been exposed to the same thing that it was what people talked about "around the water cooler" at work. People just weren't walking around and interacting with each other despite existing in alternate realities, not they way we do today. If we want to stay grounded in reality -- truly based -- we have to turn our backs on both these narratives. And we have to get over the fact that when we do, we suddenly have some unexpected "strange bedfellows". We need them.

I don't think anything can break it up faster than legit electing a candidate the head gamers in charge don't approve of. I don't think they can adapt. I don't think they have a good contingency plan for that. And I think RFKJr. is just that, and with enough natural name recognition to get 'er done, with some help.

Interesting yarn. Yeah I was looking for the drone footage too but I'm not going to dump on CCTelander. :) But you know what's scarier? Real life! No way in hell I'd go into some unexplored cave after seeing these videos:

Without the details of both cases it's impossible to tell. But it's beyond silly (and both sides do this) to pick random events in different states with different laws and typically different circumstances and try to make and issue based solely on the races of the people involved. Recently a black assistant principal was charged with child neglect for not doing enough to prevent a 6 year old boy from shooting a white teacher. His mom has already been convicted. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/11/1244174062/assistant-principal-is-indicted-in-connection-with-shooting-done-by-6-year-old

I don't agree with that outcome. But I do think it's a shame that it took 3 years for the DA to drop charges against Deshawn Douglas, a young black man, who shot an killed his white neighbor who was filmed getting up on Deshawn's porch to provoke him and then later tried to strangle the young back with a poorly done triangle choke. https://www.wlbt.com/2023/02/24/da-drops-manslaughter-charge-against-rankin-county-man-who-killed-his-neighbor-2020/ I can't find the video of the triangle choke itself but I've seen it.

She may not have been aware? How about she absolutely was not aware! I used to Uber drive and it's not uncommon for one person to order a pickup for another. And the Uber records will prove that at trial. I get it. He was being scammed. He still killed an innocent, unarmed, disabled woman who was trying to just get away from him because she had no idea what was going on. Had he said "Just wait right here and I'll get it" and went inside and called 911, she's still be alive, he wouldn't be facing a manslaughter charge, and the police might have been able to catch the perp behind the scam.

You don't think they'll kill him? Why? Because he's one of their own? These people are eugenicists. If they can gain any advantage by shooting his senile ass, they will, and they'll tell each other it was merciful euthanasia.

But you have to admit he did it well. He sewed the timeline right up.

They just keep doubling down. Admitting they were wrong is traumatic enough for some people without having to admit they were wrong about that and that being wrong caused that much harm. They're trying to get as much of society as possible mired in that morass.
