Thank you New York. Sincerely, thank you. Thank you for giving SCOTUS a reason to rule on "Safe Zones". You have helped push 2nd Amendment rights forward by decades!


Remember when I said a bit ago it looked like the FBI brass was cleaning ranks? Garland wouldn't have any reason to send that letter if the brass wasn't the one behind the whistleblowers. It's cover, letting them clean ranks under 'pressure'. It's a classic tactic and shows the FBI is finally fucking done with it. Between the CIA -still- being pissed at the admin for being thrown buswards for Afghanistan and now the FBI deciding enough is enough with their rogue agents... well.

Looks like the intelligence agencies are breaking ties with the Cabal entirely.

It's wonderful to see. No matter who wins, we win because it's two sludge monsters deciding to have a pissing match.

I would think the opposite is happening. Garland's letter gives the FBI chiefs cover to clean the bureau of any remaining agents who aren't 100% loyal to the DNC.

I'm not sure about the simulations, but I do remember reading a book on the subject of a hypothetical uprising against the government and it was more or less of the opinion that the citizenry would win simply because they would quickly turn to terrorism and start ripping apart the vital infrastructure the government would need to suppress any such uprising.

Hard to use the highways to move troops when the overpasses have been blown. And it's gonna be really hard to keep politicians alive unless they're stuck into bunkers, which can have their supply line targeted.

Things would get bad for everyone, but the government would be so unbelievably fucked over by a concerted civil war against them it's almost not funny. Almost.

I remember someone on the forums discussed actual, serious talk the US government had about something like that. 20% of the military would openly cross sides, and another 20% would remain in their posts to conduct internal sabotage of one sort or another. When 1 out of 5 are fighting for the other side and a quarter of everyone who remains is a fifth columnist, that's just plain unwinnable.

You know, most people would consider it hard to be free, open, or defend yourself if you can't carry a gun. Not in New York, apparently.

I love how gun control advocates think they're making "progress" by pushing their agenda when in reality many autocrats throughout history are loath to allow personal weapons of any sort for their citizens. Especially China, where in ancient times, possession of anything the Imperial authorities believed to be a weapon was punishable by death.

Which funnily enough included table knives. Why do you think Chinese cuisine is served bite-sized?

Yeah sure go ahead and make buying guns harder. You'll only make the illegal gun market explode.

The quote's been used in this thread more than once, but for all her faults, Ayn Rand nailed it in Atlas Shrugged:

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt."

Aaaaah google, the only example of BigTech actually being on the side of the ideologues. I should note since I don't think I have mentioned it. My whole "BigTech is mercenary and in it for the money" does -not- apply to google. It is run, top to bottom, by True Believers.

There is a common theme with these companies being led by curry niggers and pajeets.

attorney Mark Zaid, who is representing Dolenz, told The Washington Post.
Click to expand...
Zaid is snake even by attorney standards, has been riding the coattails of the Lockerbie bombing for yearsdecades, and, if his work on Myer v Waid of comicsgate fame is anything to go by, at least half retarded. The only thing going for Dolenz is he is left of Pinochet, so Zaid is probably not trying to sabotage him.

These are people who want to leverage the government against their political enemies, both perceived and actual. They really do think they'll be in control of the horrific autocratic system they want to make happen.

They know, they're aware, they don't care.

Dud you not immediately tell this person that they're completely retarded because that's not how the Constitution works? I know that the vast majority of leftoids don't understand basic Constitutional principles, but even that is a bit much.

I'm already on the shitlist for being one of the few who didn't take the vaccine. As much as I'd love to explain to him why he's an idiot, I'm not willing to get fired just to win an argument.

They have absolutely no need at all to have a smokescreen to do that. If we assume that the FBI is ideologically aligned with the Democrats, then... there is literally nothing stopping them from just doing it. Who would hold them to account?

Looks like Mary Peltola finally beat Sarah Palin in the Alaska House special election. She'll get to serve a whopping four months in Congress before the next election comes.
Click to expand...
Keep in mind, Alaska's new voting system of "the top 4 vote getters go to round two rank choice voting" was proposed and pushed by RINOs and Murkowski to survive a Trumpian primary challenger. She wanted to hold power so bad she may have gifted the entire state to Democrats.

I would rather the bitch lose, even if R's lose the Senate, just to destroy her career.

Because the mindset of a bureaucrat is that if you followed procedure, you didn't do anything wrong and can't be punished. You can't fire federal employees without cause, but if the AG is giving you a fig leaf of cause, it makes it that much easier.

I never understood what about Iowa makes it a swing state. it doesn't have any large cities, it's mostly agrarian, yet somehow, unlike it's neighbors with similar demography and economies, it's fairly purple.
Click to expand...
That's because most of the state is rural agriculture it has been since it's conception. However there are major cities that are very dense population centers like Des Moines Quad Cities Davenport ect and these are heavily democratic iowa used to be primarily Democratic until recently. This happens everywhere though Democrats in the city Republicans in the country
