Free Republic

The premise of this all other similar stories that appear daily in the NYT, the Boston Globe, WaPo, etc is that people will believe there is something WRONG with enforcing our laws and that people who are living her in open defiance of our laws are somehow in the right.

I think this is a disaster for the Democrats, and they should be encouraged to push these stories as long and as hard as they can - because it’s killing them.

Even people who are sympathetic to those whose lives are being disrupted will, at the end of the day, say, “you broke the law, you have to go”.

Your proposal is acceptable

Yes, there are still people whose world view includes Mark Levin rolling up Mossad interference in American internal affairs.

I’m quite sure the FBI and the CIA know all about the Epstein operation, and have tons of incriminating evidence.

And, obviously, EDKH.

But I think this idea of a “list” is mistaken, or misguided. There probably isn’t a “list”, in the sense that the “show us the list” people mean it.

In order for Epstein and Maxwell to lure targets into compromising situations, they needed lots of non-targets to associate with them, to establish social proof and make a visit to one of the blackmail sites seem reasonable.

They offered zero cost jet transportation to many people as part of the operation.

The “flight logs”, for example. Every takeoff and landing is logged as a “flight”. Epstein took Clinton Foundation people,
including Bill and Hillary, on a long trip to Africa and India (to further their personal grift) that consisted of 26 “flights”.

People still post here all the time that Bill Clinton went to Epstein Island 26 times, and cite the flight logs of that Foundation trip as proof. In fact, although the flight logs have been public for years, there are no records of either Clinton going to the Virgin Islands on Epstein’s plane.

And why would they? If they wanted perverted sex from Epstein, they could get it on the Upper East Side, in Florida, in New Mexico, in Paris, and heaven knows how many other places.

The imaginary “list” is a list of sexual encounters between minors and adults. THAT list probably doesn’t exist. The real list is famous scientists, artists, explorers,and academics who gave lectures or led tours under the Epstein brand so that his targets could feel safe going to events at his homes or even on his island.

When I had a factory job before medical school, I joined the union (local 812 IBT), and had a card with the union rules on it, one of which was “no crossing craft lines”.

Now, I’m not as smart as Elon, but I am aware of some difficulties smart people get into, one of which is the idea that if I excel at something, other stuff that is done all the time by dummies (like politics) should be easy to master.

Elon apparently hasn’t run into that problem yet. But he has time.

I thought it was Dick Cheney that had the Rethuglican weather machine that Bushitler used to attack New Orleans?

Things were so much simpler back then.

My grandpa took me to Macy’s Herald Square on the subway on January 3, 1959 to buy a 49 star flag.

It wasn’t very well made but he was a patriot and wanted to be the first.

I still have it, it’s pretty fragile and if I flew it I’m sure it would disintegrate - but it’s a nice memory.

Incidentally, in 1959 Macy’s still had an entrance from the subway platform. Imagine?

“Trump promised”

The President doesn’t write laws.

I am a believer that the organs of State Security executed JFK.

But this story?

That the CIA would not have been heavily engaged with a US Marine working in intelligence who defected to the USSR, married a Soviet citizen, AND THEN CAME BACK?

The CIA would have been on LHO like white on rice, JFK or no JFK.

How about this instead: "Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people".

That's what you sign on to when you open a user account.

So, look - the Constitution is short, you should have to pass a brief test about its content before you can post.

Senators are sent by States, so the Chief Executive of a State can appoint a replacement.

Representatives are sent by the People, so only the People can replace them.

The Constitution is a remarkably intricate piece of work.

The people on Medicaid don’t get any money.

The hospitals that take care of them do. Either they stay on Medicaid, the hospitals work for free, or Congress repeals the laws that require treatment.

Tanks are just objects.

They require warriors to operate them.

Why must “we” re-arm Ukraine?

We owe them nothing. There are no treaty or other obligations involved.

“ They absolutely were giving aid to America’s enemies”

What “enemies” are those?

“but interpretation is what matters”

The definition of treason in the Constitution is very narrow, it has never been used in a domestic political matter, Jefferson Davis was not indicted for treason, the Rosenbergs were not indicted for treason, even Jane Fonda was not indicted for treason - and Brennan won’t be either.

Treason is defined in the US Constitution.

This is not it.

“ The Pubbies BETTER start SPENDING CUTS....NOW!!”

They don’t have the votes to do that.

You are joking, right?

If he is elected, it will not be because of Islam and it will not be because of communism.

It will be because of precarity.
