Typical leftist clowns. They think they’re opinions are so important, they’re going to vote on arresting the President and Vice President. The town board probably consists of a lame bunch of old leftist activists.
It’s a shame that a once lovely State like Vermont was overrun by aging counterculture lunkheads.
No, it isn't.
LOL!
Hey morons, arrest bill and hillary first for selling and profiting on sale of sensitive military secrets to the Chinese. What a bunch of idiots!
This is the place where old men and women sit around nekkid in the park in the summer and nobody has a problem with it. Unfortunately, many towns in VT are like that now. Makes Bernie Sanders look like a moderate.
Isn’t that the place where folks were walking around buck nekkid?
You're correct. We have the Massholes here in NH. I'm not sure where all the Vermont wackos came from. Probably New York.
Yeah, someone mentioned it to me and I knew I read that name somewhere before.
(1)Liberals are very big on fatuous gestures that express their hate for someone. This is jsut the latest example.
(2)Says in the article this guy Daims is a “retired prototype machinist”. Anybody got any idea what that is, beyond the fact he is unemployed? It also says he “stay-at-home dad of three daughters”. How I pity those girls.
(3)Why wait until Bush/Cheney visit lovely Brattleboro? The charges are obviously extremely serious, so if the indictments are rendered, issue arrest warrants for Bush and Cheney, and then either demand DC extradite them; or send a couple of Brattleboro police officers to the White House to arrest them and transport them back to VT. I mean, are we serious about this thing or not?
Actually, the term probably means he is a inventor or a free spirit machinist. A person who gets bored with production work and likes to tinker.
He refuses to call himself just a regular machinist because his ego will not allow it.
That's what I see in the term, and I am somewhat familiar with a machine shop. There is always one guy who can't enjoy the work without bitchin about repetitive jobs and he usually is good enough to keep but you have to feed the ego kitty to keep him happy and contented.
Recall what happened to Pinochet. Before it actually happened, how many people would have predicted the arrest of a retired foreign head of state by a European country?
Today, yes. After Bush leaves office and the Secret Service is under the command of somebody else, perhaps. But Clinton ended lifetime Secret Service protection after his administration, so Bush only gets SS protection for 10 years after he leaves office. And the Left has long memories
I see and I understand that the US is headed towards a socialist dictaorship, but I have difficulties actually believing it.
Somewhere inside of me, like many, is the idea, "it will never happen here."
I have to regularly remind myself, "It is happening"
Did you know that, prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, in just about all of the US you could walk into a gun store and buy a pistol or rifle as easily as buying a pair of shoes? Just pick out what you wanted, lay down some cash, and walk out with it. No waiting period, no "instant check", no paperwork, no record-keeping, no ID.
Consider how radical this would seem to a young person today, or how totalitarian todays rules would seem to a time-traveler from 1960.
I remember my first store bought shotgun. It was purchased by my father over the counter at a Sears in Calif.
I remember buying a AK via private party, just before private party sales were outlawed in CA.
By the time I left California I had become a liberal.
I started reading FR in Oct 2000, and FR showed me how little I knew about freedom and reminded me how much I longed for it.
9 months later, I moved to Montana. I bought my first gun over the counter. I had to fill out paperwork, but otherwise the process took a few minutes. I buy and sell my guns private party, as often as I like. I love freedom and hate what is happening to this state & country.
I have had the good fortune of knowing what socialism is and the better fortune of knowing what liberty is -- which is why I hate liberalism so much.
I suppose it's now OK for folks to drive up to VT for target practice ~ with live targets.
Turn that place into something like "Bleedin' Kansas" in the decade before the Civil War.
We really don't have to put up with those guys.
This is a violation of Article I, Section 9; Clause 3 of the United States Constitution:
"No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
The impeachment process is not an exception since the House and Senate sit as, respectively, a grand jury and a trial court with full common-law court procedures and legal protections in force.
Vermont's clothing-optional capital is stripping off its temporary ban on public nudity. A month after passing the temporary ban after an elderly tourist strolled naked through the centre of town, Brattleboro city board members voted 3-2 on Tuesday to reject a proposed ordinance that would have made it permanent. When the emergency temporary ordinance expires next month, public nudity will no longer be illegal.
Vt. Town Says No to Public Nudity Ban
Rantburg has the rest of the naked truth, with additional stories from now dead links.
If Vermont did follow through and arrest Bush and Cheney, I'd just like to see what they'd set bail at. :)
