Well, I guess he’s a little right… but mainly insofar as we *all* depend on having a functional government to exist as a society so we’re voicing opposition to those abrogating the social contract existing between the government and the governed.

Don’t care about a Christmas tree, talk about corruption like The Epstein Memorial Ballroom that necessitated defacing public property without proper process and licensing paid for with bribes.

Today is the 610th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.

But we in it shall be remember’d;”

In telling the military to β€œhandle the enemy within” didn’t he just tell people sworn β€œto support and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic” to handle the President currently using said constitution as toilet paper?

I’m pretty sure they’re willing to negotiate down to return to government running with three coequal branches as set forth in the constitution.

My wife is currently crying and freaking out because she saw a Homeland (In)security vehicle in town. As an American veteran those honorless POSs bring shame on all of us.

Tariffs, arresting workers on visas, stopping higher education and their research - this is the most anti-business president *ever*.

The man was a horrible person, but I much preferred seeing him defeated intellectually, as he so often was or ignored, which was even better. For someone like Kirk letting them continue to talk without anyone caring would have been better… the attention to him now is far worse for all.

Your kid is right! I’m sorry they are starting to experience the divergence between fantasy and reality. The divergence with reality and Star Trek is the hardest for me.

The tendency of some to equate wealth with intelligence, virtue, and morality and poverty with stupidity, vice, and immorality is one of the greatest problems of society. Especially when wealth is often associated with stupidity, vice, and immorality.

Doesn't matter what the press says.
Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.
This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.
When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - "No, you move."
- Captain America
