I do recall when the truckers shut the place down I think was in the 70s.

I hate that place. The number of pompous tube steaks slithering about in their Armani suits makes one want to puke. Literally they think they are from a world far above the rest of us.

This will just make the federal bureaucrats fatter than they are and easier to herd into pens.

I like the idea of a nationwide tax strike. If you think reparations are bad, did you hear the idea floating around on how they will pay for it? By instituting a “privilege tax”. A friend of mine who works in DC told me that.

If you are white you are “privileged” and must pay into the reparation fund although no doubt they will use completely different words and terms to sucker the stupid into agreeing with it. This is why they have been pushing this “white privilege” crap around for so long.

And BTW how much is enough when it comes to reparations? $1000 bucks would be considered an insult, Anti and BLM would riot so I could absolutely see the neo-Marxists demanding high 5 figure or 6 figure settlements for 50 million blacks and what about blacks who just moved here? Do they get this money too? And what about mulattos? Do they get 50%? Seriously, no joke, this is the crap they would bring up in this insanity.

Nah, they used me, lied to me,, conned me and then they did nothing for me. NOTHING. So they’re basically on probation with me. They better hold the effing line.

And what is your alternative? Sit at home and sulk while the Democrats run roughshod over our rights?

I'm sure you'll feel very smug that you "showed those Republicans" by letting the Democrats win by default.

Pretty shortsighted of you to muck around with MY constitutional rights because you didn't get everything you wanted.

This is our tax money being used as hush money so they’ll keep their mouths shut about the illegitimate Jao Bai-Din regime.

Not ony that but most federal workers are salaried and paid whether they work or not. They are paid on the GS scale depending on their GS rating and years of service. So, this is total BS. Of course since it seems most federal workers are democrats, Pelosi is just paying them off.

Hindsight being 20/20, a lot of people holding their nose and voting for the "lesser of two evils" got us to where we are today with a Uniparty that stole an election, a Communist Chinese puppet for POTATUS, and a fraud in the vice president chair who is absolutely illegitimate since she's NOT a natural born citizen. We would have been far better off telling the Republicans to either put up or get out. It's late to draw a line but it must be drawn. You cannot negotiate with those who stab you in the back, namely the RINOs.

“I don’t do nothing . . . “

Which is STILL more than a lot of government workers.

Yeah, RINOs routinely stab us in the back. DemocRATs stab us in the FRONT.

Look what happened when we let the Democrats have control last time: We got the Assault Weapons ban and nationwide 10 round magazine limits. Thank GOD that the spineless RINOs at least got a sunset provision put into the Assault Weapons Ban bill, otherwise we'd STILL be under that gawd-awful law, probably with revisions and expansions.

You may think you're safe because you live in a 2A-friendly State, but when the Feds ban all semiauto firearms - rifles, pistols, AND shotguns - as "assault weapons," your State laws will no longer apply. THIS IS THEIR STATED GOAL.

Yeah, Republicans are spineless and we need to clean them out from the inside, but we cannot afford to just not vote because we don't like the Republicans. They're all we've got.

Maybe you're too old to care anymore what happens to the future generations, but I'm not that selfish.

What did the Republicans do about States violating our inalienable rights enumerated in the Second Amendment by limiting magazines to 10 rounds? They had the House, the Senate, and the Presidency and did NOTHING.

As for future generations, negotiating with RINOs put us in this situation. If we had held the line and made it very clear to every Republican that none will get a vote until all RINOs were removed, we'd have a real Republican Party instead of just the other half of the Uniparty.

The Democrats are open about lying, cheating, and stealing. The Republicans don't know or don't care about trying to convince anyone they won't be in on it again in 2022 and 2024.

We have passed the tipping point. Unless you are part of the government machine you only exist to serve it. It used to be that government employees had better retirement and job security but the private sector paid better. The Mandarins that form the US government bureaucracy now have achieved the trifecta of better pay, better benefits and untouchable job security. All they have to do is be a part of the big machine.

I remember when a federal government job meant job security, but low pay...

A Federal Stimulus Bill, has almost nothing to do with COVID 19, if we ever get a $1400 check, corrupt and unaccountable swamp bureaucrats get $1400 a week, for 15 weeks. That’s 21k. This is what they want to do. It will certainly stimulate tax increases and skyrocketing deficits. Happy Days~!

P.S. ... I use “~” at the end of a sentence, to indicate that what was said was “tongue in cheek”. I think this helps.

I didn't get anything I wanted and now I'm looking at a $200 per firearm and magazine tax. That comes out to at least $25 thousand for me, probably more.

The republicans had control of the house, the senate and the Whitehouse for two years. What did they do to preserve my 2A during that 2 years? Nothing. They banned bump stocks and continued to hold the 2A hostage.

There's a line in the sand here. If it gets crossed, I will not vote for a Republican in 2022 or 2024. F 'em. I'll sit back and LOL as the Democrats destroy this country.
