The precise reason the left wants to disarm the American public is to limit the public’s ability to prevent the imposition of leftist tyranny, or to defend themselves from the crime waves unleashed by the pro-criminal policies.
So is the faulty metabolism that doesn’t produce caffeine! “Don’t bother Miss Red before the warning bell. There’s too much blood in her caffeine stream,” was once uttered by an older student. He wasn’t wrong.
A 1972 Ford Country Squire with a 400 cubic inch engine. Whenever it shut down, it would make an odd (and probably untraceable) “boing” sound. We got rid of it before I became old enough to drive. But when I learned, I did most of the driving in Daddy’s 1965 Barracuda!
For one year, Toyota made a Camry wagon. It was great! I ended up with the thing, and it would haul everything up to a sheet of plywood without yelling “Hi! I’m a station wagon!” Even better, people mistook it for a Highway Patrol vehicle, especially if I wore a certain style of hat.
Not that I ever took advantage of that observation, of course. innocent kitty look
Looking at it again, it’s the look in the eyes. Doesn’t have the blown-out pupil Bowie had his entire adult life, but the way he’s looking at the camera. It’s not Jagger-defiance, it’s Bowie just… looking.
I have to take issue with the Hillary meme. Frankly, if you were known to be on friendly terms with her and her husband, wouldn’t you be sorely tempted to “apologize to the Emperor?”
Regarding the “call to adventure” one, I’m just glad I haven’t found out that I’m actually some backstory NPC that got killed to provide an incentive for the protagonist to act.
Or not yet, anyway. I haven’t quite hit the half-century mark yet. :(
The sad thing is building an chicken coop is extremist content according to our current rulers. Anything that builds self-sufficiency is extremists and rejects us all belonging to the government which is something they’ve openly claimed since 2012.
If mere (slightly increased) self-sufficiency is extremist, we could do with a LOT more “extremists” and LOT LESS of the anti-civilization tyrranists [Fred, I am looking at yourn] trying to thwart them.
Here’s the thing, people who are not self-sufficient cannot maintain a civilization through any crisis. You need a critical mass of “step up and get things done” people in a crisis. If everyone is “who is coming to save me” you get post-Katrina New Orleans.
Seen yesterday on a t-shirt for sale:
“Sorry, boss, I can either work well with others or pass a drug test. It can’t be both.”
Our son, working as a cook, texted, “And there’s always the guy in the kitchen who can’t do either. “
Considering the first one. I think sometimes thoughts and their corresponding anti-thought collide and annihilate each other. The energy produced probably leads me to buy books for series I’m hopelessly behind on.
I didn’t remember the Epstein – Trump connection, it’s been over a year since the Mar-a-lago raid, so I looked it up.
He didn’t defend Epstein himself, but the connections are shady.
Ah. No. He didn’t defend Epstein, and once he caught on what Epstein was up to, he dumped him.
If you’re going to trust anything from the unsupervised raid, we will be credulous when the FBI finds child trafficking on your papers while digging through on a fishing expedition.
Yeah. That smells like bullshit a mile off, okay?
He’s the one guy who took a targeted victim to the police, kicked Epstein out of his properties, offered to testify against Epstein if she wanted to press charges, and he got an at best highly irregular search approved by a guy who defended an Epstein “associate.”
That’s usually not described as a connection or just “not defending” a guy.
