The IRS won’t be coming for you physically. There will be no one to “take down”. The IRS will shut your accounts down electronically, put liens on your property, etc.. They will starve you.

You will be doing something but will it change anything?

Doesn't matter if Biden or Trump wins. Wall street wants more control. It's the small business that are being destroyed.

I understand, buddy. But remember our training. Get up, and try it again. Sometimes, though, it’s time for a new beginning. Consider discarding something old and doing something new.

Points #1 and #2 of your posting essentially boil down to "Tu Quoque" arguments. ("Since tax dollars are being wasted / unfairly disbursed in that un-Constitutional fashion, then at least I want my pork!")

Rest assured, there will be a new national anthem within two years. Our current one, plus no doubt Francis Scott Key himself, triggers too many people. It will be #cancelculture and replaced with #woke.

Within that same time frame, they’ll come for our flag. They’ll use DC and Puerto Rico statehood to completely scrap and replace it.

Would you feel better if you knew Obama was going down for Treason?

The American Revival starts January 6.

[Varsity Flight]

Gone with the election of W.Wilson.

What if there was a forced secession of the liberal socialist ‘aggressive’ strongholds.

Sorry, but the very premise of your question is severely flawed.

Who would "force the secession?"

If (and that's a very big "if") that "who" had that power - then they wouldn't need or want to excise any part of the country - instead, they would subjugate it.

No, spending to help the American people is not unconstitutional.

Your comments - basically preTrump , 1990s-2000s Republican doctrine - show why I fear that the GOP is going to return to being the party of Dole-Bush-McCain-Romney, now that Trump is being ousted. It will go back to being a party that says “we can’t afford to help the working class” and “ Social Security iis unconstitutional and a Ponzi scheme”. In other words, a party that will never win another presidential election

Not a question of control. Think market share and increased revenues and profits. Big businesses are diversified across geographies. Small businesses are not. Big businesses are better for banks from a cost standpoint. One big loan vs thousands of small ones. Big businesses, especially exchange-listed companies, are audited and inspected routinely by a bunch of government agencies. Small businesses - who knows whether what they’re doing is on the up and up?

As a result, big businesses have better luck getting financing to get them over a rough patch. Small businesses have much less luck doing so. Bottom line - Wall Street doesn’t care if every single small business goes belly-up, since they don’t make Wall Street any money.

If this run of small business bankruptcies goes up, I can see a huge number of small business owners becoming firmly Republican even if they weren’t originally GOP-leaning. They are discovering that voting Democrat can literally mean the loss of your life savings. When you lose everything you’ve worked for, over decades, that leaves a mark. I doubt they’ll ever forget this lesson.

Agreed for the most part. (R) are not the good guys in this. We have a shorter list of friends then I expected

[Wilhelm Tell]

The new American flag could be this. The stars in blue background could be replaced with the “gay” rainbow flag and there would be one red star on the rainbow to represent the Communist Party. The red and white bars could be replaced with solid green. The green would stand for three things at the same time. Green for enviro-socialism. Green for Islam. Green for the big money the crony capitalists will get and the bribe money they will channel to the politicians.

We don’t need friends as such. Parties *always* overreach. A smart politician understands that *all* political victories are coalition victories and they must not alienate critical segments, typically in the middle, who made that victory possible. All the middle-of-the-road never-Trumpers who voted Biden? When their taxes are hiked, they’ll come back to the GOP. When a loved one or an acquaintance is killed or sent to the emergency room thanks to a vicious beating, or they are carjacked and dragged across hundreds of yards of asphalt, they’ll pull the lever for the GOP candidate the next time around. Giuliani did not get to be mayor in an overwhelmingly Democrat city because he was the most photogenic or charismatic candidate around. Sometimes hard lessons have to be learned in the school of hard knocks.

North American above the Rio Grande has been shared between two countries for at least 150 years. Is it necessarily the case that there cannot be three countries sharing this portion of the continent without major conflict?

[angmo]

No. The free states should attack the commie states, or thwy will attack the free states.

[Win94]

One helluva run America.

[maxheck]

In 4 years, if the USA is still standing, having survived Obama levels of non-drama...

Are you still be standing on a street corner screaming?

[maxheck]

I can sort of see the latter, but you’d *really* have to provide a rationale for the former.
