And like I’ve said, it IS happening, we are fighting back, but we aren’t choosing violence at this stage, and foreigners don’t get it.
There are other ways to fight back in America, and MOST of them are more effective than violence. Winning the Midterm election will have a MUCH larger negative impact on MAGA than unorganized and unmanaged violence. That would just be counterproductive at this stage.
Oh, I get it, another foreigner who doesn’t understand anything about our government pushing for violence that would kill thousands, and empower MAGA to go full-on dictatorship, and then kill millions.
Bottom Line: Nobody in America, MAGA or not, cares what you foreigners think. None of you get it.
I just said that we ARE fighting back, just not with violence. The Dems are doing lots of things, some are succeeding (like keeping the message on corruption, the Epstein Files, and the AmerIsraeli War), some aren’t (redistricting), but they are definitely pushing much harder than we’ve seen in the past.
Look at how many special elections around the country that have flipped from Red to Blue. Every one of those flips was a ferocious FIGHT.
The Dems are winning far more than they are losing, and that’s all due to the increased level of resistance. You want VIOLENCE, but that would be seriously counterproductive at this stage.
MAGA believe in violence, because they are too stupid to figure out any other way. We are smarter than they are, by a long ways, and we can outsmart them for now, and hold the Violence Option for when all other options have run out.
Then why didn’t he say that? It sounds to me like he’s surrendered, and is giving them an excuse to not release them.
That’s exactly how they’d read that. They’re already saying that the American people have moved on, and they don’t feel like releasing the rest. Nobody cares anyway. When they hear our side saying it, it only proves them right.
You’re the one saying that a Civil War won’t happen, so you are advocating for not fighting.
I’m saying it is still on the list of options, but there are better options at this stage. I’m ready to go, when the time is right.
Because theyve quarantined the truly monstrous, incriminating stuff, and haven’t released it yet, obviously.
Are you really that dumb? Or are you MAGA? Or both?
We are fighting back, making sure we have as free an election as we can have in November.
That hasn’t always been the case. In 2016 and 2024, the Dem leadership did absolutely nothing about the obvious election interference that was happening directly in front their faces, as well as ignored the increasing treasonous rhetoric, the Epstein Files, corruption, treason, etc. They prioritized politeness over defending their country.
At least now the elected Dems are starting to match MAGA energy wherever possible. They are stating to ignore Dem leadership, and doing what we want. It is unlikely that Jeffries will survive as Speaker, and Schmuck is already dead in the water. He’s only staying on to keep insider trading, and shill for Israel.
Violence is a legitimate option, but it is an inappropriate choice when we still have legitimate Constitutional checkpoints to make it through first. If those checkpoints fail due to MAGA interference, THEN violence becomes the appropriate option.
We gotta stick together against the Vocabulary Philistines.
Well, we know YOU are too cowardly too defend your country. I hope you like the taste of MAGA boots, since your tongue will be on a lot of them.
In most cities, you can get wax models cast by jewelery supply places, etc. I did it a few times, and it was fairly cheap, but that was a long time ago. That way, all you have to do is create the model out of wax, which is ridiculously easy to work with.
It’s a fun hobby, and this is a really nice piece.
I fully agree that the reconfiguration of our government will include the basic axiom that the government’s and money supply’s primary objective is to serve the people, not business or the wealthy.
Those entities will be made to understand they operate their businesses and fortunes at the pleasure of the American people, and the moment they start using their money to benefit themselves at the expense of the Citizens is the moment their corporations are seized by the government to be operated for the benefit of the nation, their fortunes confiscated, and the Capitalist criminals imprisoned.
After that, the rest will fall in line quickly. They work for us, not the other way around.
Extremely valid. Good post.
You’d have to use something like 12-14k gold to get near enough hardness, and it would still be soft. OTOH, it’s a pendant, so it isn’t under any heavy use, like a bracelet or a ring would be. It’s pretty well protected, just hanging there on the chest.
I understand the sharp outline you get from cutting, but you still have to file and polish those edges anyway, and that’s what gives it the sharp outline. You could still do that in a cast piece. In fact, you’d probably have to.
Casting is pretty easy for small things, once you get the hang of it. It’s not something you’d want to do inside an apartment, though. Definitely an outside activity, unless you’re already in some sort of industrial building. It’s fun though, and it feels really good to show off a cast piece. That’s an impressive skill to outsiders.
BTW, I’m not a jeweler, but I have a close friend who’s a pro, and I spent many hours sitting next to him at his bench, poking through his little drawers, and asking questions, and occasionally crafting my own amateurish pieces. I used to like to carve wax models and cast them in silver, back when silver was dirt cheap. Fascinating stuff.
That’s not what I was doing. I was illustrating that this controversy about Literally is particularly IRONIC, another grammar word that is often used incorrectly.
And you didn’t understand that, so your assignment for tomorrow is a 1000 word essay on whether your misunderstanding of my post constitutes irony itself, or if it is another example of false irony, such as the Alanis Morissette song.
Americans have been carefully socialized to be polite, and “wait and see.”
But we have also been raised since the beginning on tales of underdog Revolutionaries, winning against the mightiest army in human history, and going on to become the mightiest nation in human history. That is a strong thread running through our national DNA.
We have put up with a lot, counting on our system of government to get us through this mess, and we only have two more elections to get through, and we will know where we stand. There is an excellent chance that the Dems will prevail, and if can convince our elected leaders to do their jobs (I know, I hear ya), we could actually take back this country, and reconfigure it to reflect the original promises of our Founding Fathers, and our Founding Documents. It will be since in a century opportunity, and we can’t squander it this time, again.
But if MAGA cancels elections, that’s a BRIGHT RED LINE that has never been crossed in our history. It literally means the end of American Democracy. If we won’t fight for that, then we deserve to lose it.
But it won’t just be the Cancellation of Elections that will motivate people. That would mean that MAGA has finally decided to deploy their final end game, and become a Dictatorship. That will be accompanied by such a brutal crackdown, that nobody will remain polite anymore. All it will take will be one or two serious violent uprisings in which MAGAs are harshly punished, with either little retaliation, or, over the top retaliation, and it will break loose everywhere.
It will take a lot before the dam breaks, but it will break eventually, and when it does, it will be really ugly for MAGA.
We we are waiting for the results of the next two elections, and the MAGA response to those elections. That will determine next steps.
Civil War following the cancellation of elections, is NOT a prediction or a suggestion. It is literally the automatic result of the cancellation of elections. If that happens, it invalidates our system of government, which is ENTIRELY built on the concept of elected representation. Cancel elections, and you are unilaterally ending American Democracy, and we are in a Civil War, by default.
I used to use a lot more commas, to make my writing sound more like speaking, but it interrupts the flow of the thought. I’ve found that it’s often better to just keep on flowing, and only use commas for major clauses, or for side thoughts that are still relevant enough to not use parentheses. Also to separate thoughts so they don’t get mixed together.
When I end up with a paragraph like this, I’ll start editing our commas, and perhaps rearrange my thoughts.
That’s the dopey example that they always use - Shakespeare made up all sorts of words - except it’s clearly wrong, and you aren’t Shakespeare, dummy.
Many words have immutable definitions, and they cannot be changed, period. UP cannot never mean DOWN no matter how many stupid people use it incorrectly. A DOG isn’t a CAT, no matter how many stupid people can’t tell the difference. The sky is Blue, even if you determine that you think it’s Pink, and now Pink refers to all things Blue.
If people use an immutable word wrong, we shouldn’t change the definition, we should tell the people using it wrong that they are wrong, and to stop being stupid.
We don’t just agree to be as stupid as they are. That’s what’s wrong with the world. It’s easier to go along with the stupid people, than expect them to get smarter. Or just tell them to shut the fuck up.
Valid. I just saw that Trump had said that he has no use for Libraries and Museums. Of course not, he’s a Sociopath, he doesn’t have even the slightest understanding of art or beauty of any kind.
