The US Constitution had plenty of ways to control someone like Trump. Not the least of which is the absolutely clear barring from public office for life of anyone participating in an insurrection. It’s just that the people in charge of enforcing these statutes lacked the courage to enforce those statutes. Legal statutes and so forth are useless if they aren’t enforced.

I think our present situation became inevitable once the loathsome Newt Gingerich convinced the GOP that people who disagree with them are an enemy to be destroyed rather than people who need to be convinced or compromised with.

I am a gun owner and there are three places for your firearms, at home, at the range, and while hunting. Restricting uses to those uses would do a world of good in reducing gun crime.

One can at most wield two firearms. And one is most effective concentrating on just one. The booger eating mouth-breathing MAGAts may own many more guns than the rest of us. But they can only use one or two at a time. And lots of us ALSO own some firearms. We just usually don’t make a fetish of them. Furthermore, owning a bunch of different caliber weapons complicates your supply issues. I have concentrated on 7.62x51/.308, 12 ga, and .45.

Bullshit. Begone Trumpist troll

When has the DNC last helped us regular people? I abandoned that sclerotic. spineless, feckless, ineffectual organization over a decade ago.

It was inevitable at least from the time that Newt Gingrich got the GOP to believe that anyone who opposed them was an enemy to be destroyed rather than potential partners to be convinced.

One can argue that Felon 47 is a different president. Two bad presidents as evil as Trump and Musk will sink the US.

The smell is similar to pigs shit too.

Agreed. They should have hanged the Southern elite, and occupied the former confederate states under martial law for at least three generations.

You are hallucinating. Harris is a woman and she’s black. The racist misogynist US will not elect a woman as POTUS in the years I’ve got left. Much less a black woman. I saw an interview with some 2020 Biden voters from Philly. When asked if they were going to vote for Harris, they all said something along the lines of “No, it’s too much power to give a woman.”. They’d rather have a treasonous felon as POTUS than a competent and comparatively honest woman. It’s morally laudable that the Dems will run minority candidates, but in these racist misogynistic United States, it’s a guaranteed loss.

Every day, I wake up and hope Trump has died from the most humiliating and painful natural causes imaginable.

Right from when Constantin co-opted the Jesus movement to use it for state control of people’s behavior.

Don’t be so sure about that. That piece of excrement Farange is back.

Because things have gotten worse in the intervening 30 years?

There are parasites and there are big parasites. Being a land lord is inherently parasitic to a certain extent. And we were ourselves landlords for a while. When a job took us out of state, we didn’t want to leave where we were so we rented out our house for under market rate until we returned. In my opinion, we were still being parasites to a limited extent.

Nowhere. I’ll just be gone

I’m 72. Pretty likely I’ll be gone by then.
