If You Had a Time Machine...
Vanity ^ | 9/16/2024 | pgyanke

Posted on 09/16/2024 7:16:29 AM PDT by pgyanke

Every now and then the question gets asked, "if you had a time machine, where would you go?"

Aside from the money-making responses of looking up lottery numbers or the biggest winners in the stock market, one of the top responses always involves Hitler. Most would kill him as a blight on history.

Given that Trump has been labeled as someone worse than Hitler, a terrorist, and a threat to democracy itself, is it any wonder that the average Democrat considers killing Trump their civic duty?

The Democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM, know what they are doing. Even after this latest attempt, many are doubling down on their rhetoric... and calling on Trump to dial back his own rhetoric as the ultimate example of gaslighting hubris.

We aren't done with the attempts on Trump's life. The marching orders have been received and more "lone actors" will continue to act on what they consider to be the highest calling of their generation. The MSM and the three-letter agencies will feign ignorance as they fan the flames.

Pray for President Trump and our nation. He has thus far been miraculously protected. May his protection continue.

World choose gold, diamonds, and other things as valuable because they were scarce items

I always go with the Silver Age DC Comics dictum that you cannot change the past. Parallel universes if you want, but new ones don’t get generated by our behavior.

I would assume any warning to Marie Antoinette or Charles II to leave quickly would fall on deaf ears.

So, I would try to find something unknown or lost, and if possible, being it back with me. Maybe I’d check out the library of Alexandria and grab some papyri after a crash course in the Greek alphabet and learned to recognize the big names. I would bring back so modern gizmos, a self-winding watch for starters, to use as trade bait. I would also go to ancient Rome, and Gaul and various outposts to see how Latin was REALLY spoken.

I would try to figure out when I could catch the pyramids being built and note the actual techniques.

I’ve never understood why the entire world chose gold to be valuable.

Gold does not rust or corrode, and is really easy to work with to make shapes. It also is pretty, compared to lead or green copper.

It isn’t hard to know where Trump is at any moment. Follow the line of black SUVs. He’s bound to be golfing so camp out at his golf course. But, yeah, he can’t trust his security and some very evil demons are in control. As if they can’t wait 4 years and change everything back like Biden did.

So scare that everyone and their dog have gold and diamond rings and many take dumps in their gold toilets. The technology in Kamala’s earrings is worth more than the gold bits.

I’d buy that...and pipe it into the illegal immigrant shelters.

I think I would go and convince Elizabeth the First to give the crown to the Stanley Family rather then the Stewart.

An actual English enlightened monarch rather then a Scottish barbaric one would have made a great deal of difference historically.

So you executed his mum. Big deal. She tried to kill you. And it was not like she had a great deal of contact with him anyway.

That wasn’t the case 3000 years ago, which was what you were asking about.

Possibly because it was the first metal we ever worked.

I don't disagree with the tone of you comments, but when you state "the average Democrat considers killing Trump their civic duty", then go on to speak anout "their rhetoric"....

Yours is as bad as theirs.

“ I find your post curious,…”

Thank you. Think about it, where is the past? In what physical space is the past or the future for that matter? Both only exist in our brains. Time was constructed so we wouldn’t be late for lunch. 😜

There was an episode of My Favorite Martian back in the 60s, where Tim (Bill Bixby, the Earth guy) borrowed Uncle Martin’s Time machine and went back to ‘witness’ the sale of Manhattan Island to the Dutch colonists by the Indians.

He told the Indians they were getting cheated so they stopped the sale............This created a few problems back in the ‘present’ when he got back..................

So... this conversation isn’t going the way I envisioned. Wasn’t meant to get into theory on time and relativity. It’s about Democrats thinking killing Trump is their moral and civic duty. Oh well...

___________________________________________

Actually this conversation is going exactly the way in which your headline reads.

Maybe a little farther back.... get rid of Congressman Carter Glass, Senator Robert L. Owen, and President Woodrow Wilson. The three ass-clowns responsible for the Fed
