Dude. Gun restrictions are fine, and don't stop us from legally getting guns. I know from first hand experience, and am ready to fight back against government tyranny. Legally, after passing tests, and waiting periods. You don't know what you are talking about. Pull your head out.

EXACTLY.

I hope for more from you than meaningless platitudes. What does "congress must act" f-ing mean? They won't. This post will have NO impact.

Great. Because you know, praying clearly works. LOL

I love this, but it does remind me of something I saw where a guy threw a stick of dynamite out onto a frozen lake to create a hole and his Labrador ran out and fetched it back. Glad that didn't happen here.

Wait,wut??? More USA schoolkids slaughtered, wounded, & traumatized 4 life??? No way! Clearly the solution to this problem is praying, denial, & chanting. Please join me in a group chant, loud & proud! USA! USA! USA! The solution is more national pride & exceptionalism via intense brainwashing.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. And that's the rub.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. For example, we can ALL refuse to pay federal income taxes, en masse. But people are too afraid to save democracy by doing so.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
AND they should be doing wall-to-wall coverage of the ICE Gestapo raids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping Newsom has kicked off a democratic governor war where they all scramble to outdo each other mocking and defying Mango Cankles!

Yeah, they could spend a bit more time reporting/exposing the atrocities by ICE that are happening non-stop everywhere as well.

Meanwhile, Mexicans are busy painting the other side, the Southern side, the side where the sun actually shines ON the fence, bright white. Mango Cankles is incredibly stupid.

Wait there's more!! Most, if not ALL of the year, the North side of this fence is....the SHADED side! LOL Mexico should paint the other side gloss white. :)

The MAGAts were here all along. Their ancestors did lynchings, screamed at black kids trying to go to school, forced people to the back of the bus, set dogs on them on bridges, etc. etc. etc. trump just unleashed them from where they were hiding. We need something worse than COVID to purge them.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Un...no. But perhaps your last sentence was satire? My dad risked his life over and over flying bombers over fascist Germany, in the last valid war this country fought.

WTF. Isn't all the other shit they are allowing to happen enough to remove all of them from their jobs??? You look the other way as they disappear people illegally off our streets, but SS is where you draw the line???

I hope this turns out to be true. ICE truly has become the American Gestapo. Wearing masks PROVES they know what they are doing is illegal.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. And the sooner we face the fact that at least half the people in the USA are truly evil people, the better.

Before I left Twitter (the day muskrat bought it) I had built up a good size following, & my tweets got quite good response rates, both were achieved via hash tagging my posts. Twitter suggested trending hash tags as you typed guesses. Here, I can't even get hash tags to work. What am I missing?
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Without a purge, this nightmare in the US will go on and on without end. Give em hell nature. They are going to grow up to be evil monsters anyway. This silver lining is huge and I'm all for it.

The people at a trump rally are current day duplicates of the people that did all of the above.And the people that attend trump rallies reproduce like rabbits. Fuck em. Let their kids get measles or any other disease and die, because their parents are so incredibly stupid and hateful.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
People that maliciously wanted to force Rosa Parks to the back of the bus. People that harassed blacks and civil rights activists at a Woolworth's Counter. They have been reproducing, and passing their loathsome hate-filled views onto their children for decades.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
As horrible as that is, MAGAt's are descendants of people that fought many bloody battles to divide this nation and keep slaves. People that happily gathered in town squares to watch lynchings. People that were screaming at kids like Ruby Bridges, and Elizabeth Eckford for trying to go to school.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social)
RFK Jr. telling people to "do your own research" about vaccines and other health care decisions for children is going to kill a LOT of kids, mostly in red and Southern states. So...silver lining? I think so.

NOPE. You have 60 days to complete a roll over to avoid any tax liability. I just parked it somewhere safe so I could sleep at night. It has been great.

I'm way ahead of you. I cashed out my entire IRA 3 weeks ago. Still deciding where to put it. Currently just in savings account.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
I read the tea leaves, then the writing on the wall, cast my runes, read my horoscope, checked my palm, and decided 3 weeks ago to convert my entire pre-tax IRA to cash that is now in my savings account. I need to roll it over within 60 days, but perhaps to something super safe. We go crazy!
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
Dude, a couple of posts up you closed with "I have to BELIEVE. bla bla. "Now you're coming at me for using the word "believe" in regard to you, & demand that your OPINIONS henceforth will only be referred to as FACTS. You're not good at logical arguing. Were you home-schooled by a pigeon perhaps?
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm curious about something you say. What about saying "an oath" is so sacred & impossible to violate? That very thing happens 24/7 in politics and in the military. Promises and oaths are long forgotten inconveniences to be ignored. It's like thinking swearing on a bible ensures truth. NOT LOL
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
You are deluded in regard to things you think can be known as fact. You cannot know anything you say for sure. Cool your jets soldier. Time will tell. After trump declares martial law, with him and his minions lying profusely about how righteous and legal it is, soldiers will hurt people here.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
I have no issue with you holding on to those beliefs. I hope you have no issue (or animosity) towards me for having a different, less hopeful opinion. My father was a WW2 bomber pilot over Germany. I was too young for the Vietnam draft, and we've had no valid wars since WW2, so I never joined.

Like I said, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. But...that was then, this is now. Past may not be prologue in the era of MAGAts.

Many people storming the capital on Jan 6 were ex-military. Ironically, they also make up a large portion of our local police & sheriffs. ICE seems to be comprised of mostly ex-military. All seem to love trump. I hope I'm wrong, but my hunch is all the guys with guns are going to obey trump.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
A few dead Kent State students might disagree with your theories about men in the military.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
The rank and file of our military are mostly poorly educated recruits from red states, counties, cities and families that love trump. The top brass giving all the orders are trump lackeys. Please explain why you think our military will not follow trump's orders.

I never stopped. And I'm thinking of ordering a few boxes of N95's now. Something is coming and we are not ready.

What if...everyone on Bluesky pulled every penny they have OUT of the stock market on one, pre-planned day of protest. What if 50 million people pulled (on average) a $500k IRA OUT of the stock market and into savings. That's a 25 trillion hit to the stock market. Boom Wake up call DELIVERED!
James (@jwrife.bsky.social)
Dear liberals. 3 weeks ago I moved all my savings out of a stock market based IRA into savings account cash. I've avoided painful, 5 digit losses as a result. The markets are still tanking. trump is to blame. You can resist the regime by taking your $ out of the stock market so we REALLY tank it.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social missed an opportunity to tell Schumer democrats need to stop saving republicans from their own incompetence, by voting for this abysmal CR to keep the government open. Give them all the rope they need to hang themselves! Let the MAGATs feel the FULL brunt of republican rule!

Not sure what you're trying to say.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
...and he pointed out several flaws in Chuck's "logic", including the fact that he did not account for the effect public protest and civil unrest/disobedience will have during a shutdown. Chuck thinks only he can save us. Fire him. He's never effective. Mamby pamby weasel words is all he provides.
James (@jwrife.bsky.social) reply parent
1. trump/musk are already doing anything they want and there will be no change in that whether the CR passes or not. 2. He seems to not understand the saying, "give them enough rope so they can hang themselves". Get the fk out of the way Chuck. Bernie was on after Chuck...
James (@jwrife.bsky.social)
Chuck Schumer must go. He is voting with the Repugs to avoid a government shutdown, based on the WEAK argument that a shut down would somehow be worse, because he says it would allow trump/musk more power. He doesn't understand 2 things:

I've been shouting this idea from my metaphoric roof-top for months and people thought I was/am nuts. Do it! DownOld told us himself in that debate with Hilary. Cheating and paying no taxes is smart. Start a home business and report no revenue and deduct massive expenses. You won't be audited.

A more effective tactic will be all of us refusing to pay any federal taxes. As trump said to Hilary, cheating on your taxes to the point where you pay nothing is "smart". Be like trump. Be "smart". Don't feed his monstrous government. If 50 million of us do it, the gutted IRS will do nothing.

The message I'm hearing from democratic politicians like House Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & Senator Chris Murphy is that their approach to fighting trump/elon is to make sure WE are aware of the crap elon is doing, but not to do anything real themselves. What does "all hands on deck mean?"
James (@jwrife.bsky.social)
The firing of thousands of already overworked IRS employees makes my "no tax rebellion" plan,(where many millions of us stop feeding the trump government), look safer and more feasible every day. trump said it himself.
