Had to pull this post out of spam. I think three links or more might land posts in purgatory.
The lack of accountability in local government will be a portion of our downfall.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1544]Interesting yet instructive that that you or anyone plugged into the rhetoric of the MSM would focus on race in this hypothetical tale rather than the political narrative driving the progressive socialistic movement to destroy the structure of our society. I understand your perspective but if you focus on that only, you miss the larger and greater point. Big picture, PL. Do not fall into the trap of inferring that anyone is “racist” or any statement is “racist” as all progressives do when one points out the fallacy of their movement and actions. I do not find the above narrative amusing in the least. You are mirroring their ploy that if one uses satire to point out the usage of race as strategy of the political narrative of the Left, one is therefore using racist rhetoric. WTF. They us race as a cudgel and if you point that out and highlight it, even in a parody, you are racist. Sol Alinsky redux. In this war (and that is what it is), any weapon is fair game and playing the race card, the sex card or any other card to mask the true nature of what is the end goal of the movement really is the game plan and has been since its inception. Oppose us and you are racist! St Louis is instructive. Under the new socialist DA regimes fostered by Soros and others, it is without consequence if one trespasses onto private property, threatens property owners goods and person and terrorizes a private neighborhood but it is a chargeable offense to use weapons legally licensed and obtained on one’s own land to deter such illegalities. (Apparently, one can also alter evidence to manufacture new charges) This has happened in Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, NYC and other places. It will soon come to your town if the Dems win because no Dem will oppose the left wing of its party and the socialist mayors and DA`s enabling it. They are emboldened and will become increasingly so until the election to create chaos. Oppose us and you must be racist! It will only be stopped in its tracks at least temporarily if Trump wins the election. “Live free or die” works for me while it seems so many prefer “Live scared rather than die” these days.[/quote]
touche. I got a kick out of it. Green bugs and all.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1502]No matter what people think of Trump. He has exposed the CCP for what they are and no future president can ignore that we are in conflict with them. My money is on us, even with less aggressive conventional Administrations[/quote]
I disagree. The Chinese threat will be papered over by 98 percent of politicians in the U.S. because it is being papered over by nearly 100 percent of the wealthy. Too many wealthy people (especially the billionaires) have a need for access to the Chinese market, and won’t poke the bear.
They steer the politicians.
Trump has been right on China. He was right on ISIS. He has been right on NATO. He has been “not wrong” on North Korea (remember, they were about to nuke us when he took office), and he has been “not wrong” on Afghanistan as best I can tell. The question is whether he has been right or wrong (or voting present) on Russia…but Russia isn’t dangerous with moderate energy prices.
His foreign policy has been overall better than anybody could have expected from a marketing-driven socialite blowhard.
As to China: Here’s the rub… In 1985, the U.S. imported approximately $400 million of goods from the USSR. Inflation-adjusted to today, that’s about $1 Billion. We exported 6 times as much to the USSR than we imported from them.
For comparison, the U.S. imported approximately $450 billion of goods from China in 2019. That amount is about 4 times what we exported to China.
In other words, the Communists have done a really good job of wresting the means of production from the Capitalists. So, all the capitalists have their balls in a vice and won’t criticize the communists… See the NBA for example, or Amazon’s quick walk back of its TikTok ban.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)That’s a heck of a response, Bob. The references to foreign combatants on U.S. soil and US Citizens living abroad are golden. Once again, logic is a tough mother.
Your line about rights and privileges of citizenship only accruing to citizens is a good one and incites a lot of arguments from the left. CA Prop 187 and the debate around it was a good example of that conflict writ large that cause a lot of liberal lashing out.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1519]Hmmm, if the same standard was applied universally, you must annually file a tax return, would there be anyone left in Portland for the peaceful protests?[/quote]
Well, to be fair, you don’t “HAVE” to file a tax return if you have no income. So there’s that.
I doubt you meant this, but I would say that an officer not filing tax returns is a really, really, big red flag that that officer is willing to exercise discretion around a lot of other rules.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)the Portland protests look mostly white, and officer Jackson said the white protesters had primarily caused some real problems for him.
At what point do we finally remove the cloak of “racial grievance” from protests like this and start knocking the white college students’ heads? I know that’s profiling, but I just watched video of Portland mayor ted Wheeler navigating the crowd and all the people yelling are white guys.
when does the black community say they don’t need this sort of help? Maybe they have and I’m on the wrong channel.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1485]I would love to hear the accussed explain what they were doing. Just kids being kids?[/quote]
People will do what they will do.
Sounds to me like these “teens” made a bad set of choices. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves, but that’s asking too much these days.

Some of us speak football so well we can’t walk properly anymore. Go sell fandom somewhere else.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Think about this: if coronaviruses were so easy to vaccinate against that we could do a crash course for one brand new virus type, then why is the common cold so common?
Yes, vaccination will be a challenge.
If I were a bureaucrat throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at this vaccine initiative, I would be royally pissed that only 1 percent of trial participants are black. AAs are getting slammed hard by COVID due to location and cultural behaviors.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t follow this sort of thing much and couldn’t have picked Chrissy out of a lineup, but that’s some funny stuff right there.
I was running some errands with my oldest (16) and he and I got to talking about what it was like when I was a teenager vs now. We concluded that the guys talk a LOT less about girls now, that locker room talk isn’t what it used to be, and that smart teenagers these days know that everything they do is being recorded. That last one is kinda sad if you ask me. Some of my best memories would likely get me in some trouble if they were tweeted at the time and findable now.
