    There are certainly some people in this thread under that impression, yes. I can't imagine what it might be about their media diet which might have given them that impression...

    Words are important. They are the most important things in our lives, believe it or not. Therefore, our choices of wording is perforce important, and to that point I would turn your attention toward that which has come to be known as the Non-Aggression Principle, AKA the "NAP". While the spirit of the NAP is righteous, the choice of "aggression" in the moniker is quite unfortunate. It states that the initiation of aggression is always a bad thing, but fails to what constitutes "aggression". Because of this, I have witnessed endless examples of gross misunderstanding of "aggression", more specifically its initiation, such that some of those cases tap dance right past the absurd. Words are important. Therefore, and because the term "aggression" seems to evade far too many in terms of a sufficiently precise meaning, I suggest leaving that term in the rear view mirror in favor of "transgression". Transgression is always incorrect as a matter of definition, whereas aggression is not. It is the fact of the latter that we run into the problem of semantics. Let us illustrate with an example. Johnny tells Janey he is going "let her have it". Is that aggression? There are those who say that it is, and those who deny it with some nontrivial vehemence. This is the key of the problem. As for my view and taken all else equal, Janey stands well within her right to self-defense to take whatever measures she sees fit to remove what we may conversationally take as a threat to her welfare. If she walks away, fine. Kick Johnny in the balls? OK, if imprudent in practical terms. Draw a sidearm and drill him a deep fathom down? You bet. And yet there are those who would argue that any such physical action against Johnny would constitute an initiation of aggression, whereas his ravings would not. Forgetting that this is sheer stupidity, prima facie, we can at least state as a fact that the difference of opinion exists. Counter example: siblings have their moments. Janey irritates Johnny in some manner and Johnny blithely lets her know "I'm going to murder you". Kids say the darnedest things. In all good likelihood Johnny was not to be taken literally, and to Janey's retrieval of dad's 686 revolver, whereby she holds Johnny at bay until police arrive is probably not justified. And yet, Johnny uttered words that under differing circumstances might justly see him interred. Words are important, but so is context.

    While this bill is good, I guess? It just kinda seems silly. Silly that we've let it get to this point and this is the best we can do? Beg our masters for an additional layer of bureaucracy before adding new rules against us?

    And this is just scratching the surface, and the system is losing it's everfucking mind right now because of it. Wait until the DOGE crew starts making the connection between the "legit" money that is appropriated for things like USAID being used for these nefarious purposes and the "black" money from running drugs and sex and "snuff" trafficking of children and arms dealing and what that money sponsors around the world.

    Not for a second. I have no doubt that such things as “malicious compliance” went on. I simply don’t see the AG’s memorandum as in as real, substantive way addressing the issue. Let me know when Trump puts some people on researching the thousands of innocent gun owners’ and dealers’ cases who have been railroaded by ATF into federal prison with the intent of pardoning and releasing them, and of prosecuting the criminals who put them there in the first place. THEN, maybe, I’ll be impressed. Otherwise? We’ll see how things play out.

    By any objective observation, a great deal has already been done. No government action or cessation of action, in and of itself, is going to cure the rot in the soul of our people or heal this land. That is in God's hands. But it can clear the air, root out the corruption, shut down the Fifth Columnists and remove the invaders. As far as the Small Hat Club goes, we're still another generation or two away from addressing that logically.

    Ok - here's a definitive explanation from Mike Benz... All of it. It is all BS. The trans***** stuff, climate change, covid, foreign wars, election interference, all of it. It's all a ruse to control the world. And untangling this is going to be REAL messy!! Buckle up, folks!

    And that sort of outcome in a nation such as America manifest as a result of the failure of its people to be the government. When people pawn off their responsibility to be part of the governance of the nation, choosing to trust strangers with their freedoms, they effectively take to their knees in supplication to evil men to rape their rights in every orifice. We are the reason everything is shitty. We failed ourselves, our fellows, our children, and so on by not being the smartest, morally soundest, and most involved we can be for the sakes of all Americans. To defend your rights is to defend my own.

    Mr. Rock, meet Mr. Hardplace. The problems here are manifold, but the essence of the root problem is that the nature of all American "government" has degenerated to such a degree that we can no longer rely on the so-called "system" to correct itself via the instrumentalities intended for such purposes. This has arisen largely due to the fact that the American people are not united in the fundamentals of what it is to be American. The schism between "left" and "right, "conservative" and "progressive" is so deeply radical, we see these yawning chasms between what Republican and Democrat agents of "government" want and do in terms of policy and the passage of legislation. Herein we see a very profound flaw in the architecture of "government" in America. Furthermore, the mission of the federal government has experienced vast scope creep. The intent of the Constitution was to limit the fedgov to a precious few tasks including the common defense and courts. That's it. But perversions of the Constitution have lead to welfare states, regulatory empire, promotional empire, military empire, and so on down a dreary list of powers that have been assumed in gross violation of the metes, bounds, and intent of our foundational document. Governmentally speaking, as things currently stand America is a failed nation. As such we are faced with the choice of how to proceed. We could allow things to continue as they have been for the past 150 years and more, or we could decide to make corrections. If we choose the latter, as is apparent with the reelection of Trump for a second term, then we face the question of how to proceed. Given our current state of political reality, it is quite unlikely that there exists any meaningful possibility for making the necessary adjustments working within the normal delimiters of the system. That is because the system is so very broken. This fact then narrows our choices to "do nothing" and "take extraordinary measures". The latter carries huge risk, but is the only way that holds any reasonable chances of succeeding. And so we can wring our hands and do nothing because of the grave risks associated with extraordinary action, in which case we as a nation are as good as dead, or we can take extraordinary action, and bear the risks like men rather as shrinking violets. The worst that can happen in the latter case is that we meet with failure and are doomed the same as in the case where we default. The fact that the extraordinary measures being taken by Trump are, for many, very scary is good. Not only should they be scary, they should be terrifying for everyone. It has been our collective failure to BE the "government" which has lead to our currently atrocious circumstance. Let it linger in the hearts of all that we don't ever allow ourselves to fail ourselves again.

    Why would I want that hushed up? It's all gotta go, including that. USAID has been funding the NGOs that are replacing Americans and have been since the 1965 Hart Celler Act. I've been ranting and raving about that for decades now...when 25,000 Somalians show up in lower middle class White town in Maine, when 5000 Haitians show up in a small town in Ohio, when invaders get free housing in Brunswick, it's these NGOs that are responsible. No one, other than lone voices like the Paul's or O'Donnell or Massie or Birchers have ever touched this program.

    But, but, but … muh tariffs! Nobody cares about the CONstitution when it stands in the way of doing what they want. Trump fans have demonstrated this repeatedly as have most paleocons. Judge Nap will just be dismissed as a deep state swamp creature and excuses will be made to make it ok for Trump to do whatever he wants, mainly because some of what he wants aligns well with his fans’ and paleocons’ preferences. Long live the king!
