>> Things are breaking down nicely.
Hmmm... An outraged rep beating Jamaal Bowman with a cane...?
We’re getting into Pay Per View territory there!
Meh. Just putting on the black preachuh’ show for the cameras.
Image the roles reversed and the media coverage.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Why doesn't Rep. Massie effectively exercise one person majority power and stop Congress from trying to make restrictive gun control laws by publicly pointing out that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to make peacetime, non-militia-related, restrictive gun laws?
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, note that Constitution-ignoring FDR is regarded by some as the father of federal gun control.
Franklin Roosevelt: The Father of Gun Control (Non-FR)
Consider that a new round of MAGA state and federal lawmakers in 2025 will need to decide the fate of people who are in federal prison for violating a federal law that Congress never had the express constitutional power to make, not even to punish murderers.
From the congressional record, clarification about fed's constitutionally limited powers by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, Bingham volunteering murder as an example...
"Our Constitution never conferred upon the Congress of the United States the power - sacred as life is, first as it is before all other rights which pertain to man on this side of the grave - to protect it in time of peace by the terrors of the penal code within organized states; and Congress has never attempted to do it. There never was a law upon the United States statute-book to punish the murderer for taking away in time of peace the life of the noblest, and the most unoffending, as well, of your citizens, within the limits of any State of the Union [emphases added]. The protection of the citizen in that respect was left to the respective States, and there the power is to-day.” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See bottom half of third column.)
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
In other words, primarying RINOs in 2022 was just for practice. Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying for 2024 elections.
