Yup. I personally think that this will be back & forth until Trump can cover up shutting down Social Security with some other national crisis that Trump will create.

Thank you for the encouragement. That is actually needed, and thank you.

This I agree with completely.

That is all.

The second amendment was created to make it impossible for the president to have a standing army.

That was the whole "militia" thing. Federalist Paper 29 covers the entirety of it in like ... 12 paragraphs.

The states would have to require every man to own a firearm and train to be in a militia as designated by Congress for national defense because armies make empires. And newly created US Americans wanted to be free of imperial horseshit.

The second amendment wasn't to defeat a president who broke bad. Men elected to POTUS were never supposed to be like Trump. And that was our, as US Americans, biggest blindspot. That an American president would never treat Americans like how American presidents treat smaller nations.

People will still sell them labeled as key-chains or paperweights.

I'm paying attention. And I don't know what to do. Protesting has done nothing.

For Easter Trump has changed the bunny to a Russian stripper that instead of eggs gives children chlamydia

Google's ad business is worthless.

An informed populace is more important than Google's revenue.

I no longer respect my own country.

 

I> n 1939, during the build-up to World War II, the St. Louis carried more than 900 Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany intending to escape antisemitic persecution. The refugees first tried to disembark in Cuba but were denied permission to land. After Cuba, the captain, Gustav Schröder, went to the United States and Canada, trying to find a nation to take the Jews in, but both nations refused.

"Dubul' ibhunu" (Xhosa: [dəbʊliːbuːnuː]), translated as shoot the Boer,[1] kill the Boer[2] or kill the farmer,[3][4] is a controversial South African anti-Apartheid song. It is sung in Xhosa or Zulu. The song originates in the struggle against apartheid when it was first sung to protest the Afrikaner-dominated apartheid government of South Africa.

 

Land reform in South Vietnam refers to reforms proposed by the United States and implemented by South Vietnam. Seeking to undermine the popularity of the communist Việt Minh's policies of land redistribution to poor peasants, the government of South Vietnam implemented their own land-redistribution policies during the Vietnam War.
