Holy Shit! I have been saying he was going to rename New Mexico as New America as a joke! I can’t believe he actually IS that insane.

That’s why Vietnamese is my favorite food on earth. French cooking techniques with southeast asian ingredients.

I know chicken is, so I would assume so. Don’t know for sure

Beef bacon 🥓

A halal bacon cheeseburger is a thing of beauty. I can’t wait for halal American BBQ to make it up to my area.

Not the worst, but the weirdest happened while I was fishing in Minnesota. We were in a boat on an empty lake. It was a bright clear day without a could in the sky. While we fished we watched a single small black cloud blow over the lake. As we watched, this little lone angry cloud homed in right for our boat. Just before it passed over us, it started dumping rain. It wasn’t more than 100ft wide, but it passed right over us. After that the cloud dissipated and blew away. The weather was totally clear the rest of the day. It was the most personalized storm ever.

Trump Memorial Septic Field has a nice ring to it.

So why did you feel the need to point out that the tax policies began during the Biden administration?

What the fuck are you talking about? The president doesn’t make the tax laws, Congress does.

I’m saying is that we all need to realize that fascism is the greatest threat. The rest must come secondary.

What sounds far fetched is that nobody has told. There were plenty of people who tried to tell about Epstein. There are thousands of pages of evidence. There is zero evidence of a conspiracy for the Dems to be a controlled opposition. There are zero whistle lowers. Zero leaked emails. It’s just not real.

None of those things are what define fascism. Fascism at its core is defined by the destruction of democratic representation and the rule of law. Without those any other issue you personally care about cannot be addressed.

So yes, the SAVE act is fascism because it erodes voting rights. Mark Wayne Mullen threatening to send federal agents to polling places is fascism for the same reason. ICE agents assaulting and killing people with no legal recourse against them is fascism because it erodes the rule of law as does Trump signing blatantly unconstitutional executive orders or defying judicial orders are fascism.

The environment and healthcare are important. I got my degree in environmental science for fucks sake. I understand that they are existential threats. But the threat of fascism will kill us first if we don’t smash it with maximum force now.

Occhams razor. Is it a simpler explanation that Democrats are not a controlled opposition, or they are a controlled opposition but hundreds of members each were bribed or blackmailed into absolute silence for the rest of their lives by a shadowy cabal that rules the country?

We can’t afford purity tests in an existential fight. It doesn’t matter where they stand on economic policies, healthcare, the environment, Israel, or whatever. All that matters is if they will directly fight against the current fascists in power.

That’s kind of my point? They aren’t cooperating with Dems in some conspiracy

6 isn’t “a lot of Democrats”.

Says the moron who added $11.6 TRILLION to the national debt.

Stories like this are exactly what the fascists want. They want Democrats so busy fighting each other that they can’t provide a unified resistance. So far it’s working.

The slavery thing is just an example. It’s a tyranny of the majority thing inherent to pure democracy. Hayek’s statement is right standing by itself. If he was alluding to a democratic society electing to be socialist when he was talking about a democratic government lacking liberalism, he is wrong. But that is to be expected from an economist. Most would rather give up democracy than capitalism.

They wouldn’t need to hedge bets if they simply funded one party and made the other extinct.
