True, glad you pointed that out.
Yep...
“The 4th largest metro area in Washington State...”
Where is that? I was going to say Spokane, but that is probably second.
Now I’m trying to figure out other “metro” areas!
Tri-Cities I’m guessing. (Guessing Seattle, Everett, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Bellingham??, then Vancouver???? in order of size.)
I can see the Tri-Cities not putting up with it for too long.
That consent can be withdrawn.
Yep. I imagine the sight of armed men waving "recall" banners in front of a state government building is a bit perplexing to people in the UK and even the far-flung Commonwealth countries.
BTW, did you notice the Tyranny Response Team shirt in the linked article photo? Bit of a time-warp there.
Correct! Tri Cities. Wonderful place, lived there for 3 years.
Civil disobedience not civil unrest. I expect that some restaurants and small bars will open in defience of the shutdown orders. They will move tables apart and put masks on servers paying lip service to the quarantine but will be open for business as usual. Tyrannical governors will seek to close them but I think LEOs will be very reluctant for such confrontation. The media will scream calling them murderers, right wing nuts and every slander. However if they stand their ground others will follow and the flood gates will be open. When the mass deaths, flooding of hospitals and spiking of new cases doesn’t materialize the models will be seen as the jokes they have always been
Or a hole, 6 feet deep.
I bought my first pistol at the Ace Hardware store in Richland. Huge assortment of guns at good prices.
a bit late to be posting this, but James Brown is son-in-law of former Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. while some would deny this, the US Studies Centre is clearly anti-Trump:
23 Jul 2018: Australian Financial Review: Think tank close to Turnbulls receives $12m government grant
by Aaron Patrick
The United States Studies Centre, a foreign policy think tank with close links to the Turnbull and Murdoch families, has been given $12 million by the federal government.
The think tank, Based at Sydney University, was established by the American Australian Association to promote the US alliance, train students, develop policy and provide an intellectual counterweight to American critics in Australian universities...
The grant is an example of how politically connected organisations are often effective at lobbying governments for funding.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s wife, Lucy Turnbull, is the United States Studies Centre’s “patron”.
Their son-in-law, James Brown, was the think tank’s research director from 2015 until a few months ago, when he resigned to devote time to the unpaid role as president of the NSW division of the Returned and Services League of Australia, which is going through a financial scandal...
Mr Brown, a former army captain, remains a non-resident fellow of the think tank...
The think tank has been criticised by both sides of politics. Conservatives, including former Labor leader Mark Latham and Sydney Institute director Gerard Henderson, have accused it of political bias for failing to predict the election of US President Donald Trump.
