Suuure. Temporary. Just like when IT strung that wire across the ceiling…

The US Marshals are actually organized under the DOJ. Meaning they’ll just fire any Marshal that obeys that order.

It has to be used the right way too. If you just hold a sign and go home then nothing changes. That’s the consensus building and demands phase. When you have critical mass and demands aren’t met you burn down police stations and setup autonomous zones. The problem with both of those wasn’t that they happened it was that the people fell for the media’s demonization of them.

I keep telling people this. To add, armed conflicts have a nasty habit of hardening a country. Getting rights back after it’s over is a pain, even if the “good guys” win. If you can manage change by overwhelming numbers in the street then it’s far better.

Your treating this as if the same people are voting different ways. It’s usually much more along the lines of voters staying home one election and voting in another.

Edit - autocorrect got naughty!

They were doing appointments according to C-Span.

That’s what the original filibuster is.

These dumbfucks have no empathy. They will tell you empathy is weakness. In reality empathy is a social defense mechanism. If we all have empathy for each other it limits the harm we do. What they’re missing is not having it isn’t some kind of advantage, historically we are the most savage to those without empathy. It causes the mob to turn their empathy off and give in to their worst impulses. They think they’ll be the first ones in history to avoid that fate. They won’t.

We actually have munitions that don’t blow up too. We could literally have killed just him. This isn’t 20 years ago anymore.

You beat me to it.

Nah even if they tried SCOTUS would figure out some way to suddenly narrow it’s ruling. And being a good Democrat they’d comply.

Money. They wouldn’t be able to fundraise the money they need to get messages out to people. Then there’s the depressingly large number of Americans who vote by party in a system meant for voting by individual. They would lose funding and then get smashed in the elections because nobody knew the party was even there.

Not just when they lose. If you have a fully successful president that does both terms they also then fuck off to obscurity. They aren’t unpopular among their base, they just retire.

Stop making sense. I want to go back to the 90s when such an idea was laughable.

Entirely possible with this asshole. And with more coffee on board it strikes me that making the FTC unable to function at all may be the goal.

This makes no sense unless he can’t get his own people on the FTC or the FTC Republicans aren’t amenable to his agenda. It’s a bipartisan agency and the head leaving earlier left a spot open to swing the 5 person board to the Republicans.

Trump shut down Radio Free Asia. And Radio Free Europe, and Voice of America. I don’t think he cares about getting the message out there.

And as far as a public Internet? Have you met the US? We can’t deliver electricity or water without someone making a profit on each unit of energy or water delivered. It’s unamerican. Why would satellite Internet be any different?

First, that’s a lot of words to admit you compared burning Teslas to OBL. Second, you described a hate crime, not a terrorist attack.

And what is an analogy?

Terrorism by it’s definition needs to be calculated because it’s required to be in the furtherance of a specific outcome. You can’t have that without it being calculated.

Buddy. This is pure rage. Terrorism is calculated. And comparing burning a Tesla to Osama Bin Laden is fucking laughable.
