  • He doesn’t need an excuse.

    How do you propose blue states “withhold federal taxes?” I pay my federal taxes to the fed directly, not through my state. Do states have mechanisms to prevent their citizens and businesses from doing the same?

    I’m not sending anyone to do anything. I’m just pointing out that if a military is gathering at your city that’s a clear sign of you being invaded, and that asking them nicely to stop will accomplish nothing. In this case the first military to show up in the city is the US military, not a foreign one, but that’s not a difference worthy of distinction.

    Feel free to stop paying your taxes if you want, but no rights were ever won or secured without violence (no distinction here about whether that’s on or by protestors).








    • History shows everything I’ve ever been to including the “nope that top result in my search engine actually didn’t contain the search string anywhere in its contents and is thus useless to me.” pages
    • Bookmarks are for things I routinely go to for years
    • Tabs are useful results for the projects I’m working on now.
    • Pinned tabs are the pages I visit multiple times a day.

    None of those is a substitute for any other.

    They are all citizens. They have all the same rights. Trump won’t draw any distinction between them. Trump has already been attacking the rights of everyone, including citizens.

    The graphic implies a sequence or hierarchy (à la “First they came”) with Trump either planning to destroy each pillar himself or have them toppled like dominoes. However, this does not accurately reflect the nature of the attacks that have already occurred. Trump did not step through a hierarchy, he attacked everyone that he perceived as a threat to his power–much more similarly to a bomb placed in the middle of the pillars toppling all at once.





  • President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family. Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid.

    He is spending his time with his family and golfing.

    Gill argued that replacing Benjamin Franklin with Trump on the $100 bill “is a small way to honor all he will accomplish these next four years.”

    How do you honor what he will do?
