While the language in Beshear’s letter is strong, it likely won’t do anything. McConnell, like every member of Congress, can essentially go on paid medical leave for as long as he wants. The fact that our elected officials don’t really have to prove that they can walk, talk, and think coherently—while we still pay them—is disgraceful. Maybe Beshear should just pay McConnell a visit himself, and bring a camera crew with him.

6 weeks through kindergarten. Traumatize em young, compliant for life.

I know, I giggled. Apropos.

It's Slavic, btw.

The founders were oligarch and chattel slavers.

Flock, based in Georgia and valued at $8.4bn, says its cameras scan license plates billions of times each month in about 6,000 communities in nearly every state in the US.

Georgia. Of course.

He wrote on a GoFundMe created to pay for legal expenses: “I will take the silver lining that this can be a catalyst in a bigger movement to roll back intrusive surveillance.”

He should move that fundraiser to givesendgo or elsewhere, immediately, based on GoFundMe TOS.

Flock did not comment on vigilantes knocking out its cameras but did publish a blogpost in mid-July about helping government agencies respond if a camera is damaged.
“We’ve planned for it,” the company wrote, adding that protection plans are available for purchase.

😲 J/k

Law enforcement is aware of the backlash and responding. Dozens of state fusion centers – collaborative hubs where federal and local agencies share intelligence about crime and terrorism – circulated memos across law enforcement agencies this summer directing officers to monitor anti-Flock advocacy as part of a directive to protect national security, according to reporting from journalist Dan Boguslaw. One report Boguslaw obtained from a Wisconsin intelligence agency calls for increased vigilance and patrols during protests and events such as a “national week of action” in mid-August. That intelligence digest also advised local law enforcement to report “vandalism, disruption or sabotage” of ALPRs to fusion centers.

Relativity is a thing.

I most certainly do not, but unless people stop with the Gell-Mann amnesia 🐂 💩 and start educating themselves on something besides liberal slop, it's definitely getting worse, regardless.

I mean, that was kind of the original point of my comment to which you replied, and my first reply to you.

My brother in Baphomet. That don't make no sense. "People" (in general, excluding their direct descendents)... were not created by "same sorts" that created ziggurats... I get what you're trying to do there, I really do, but that particular aside doesn't make sense there semantically.

After all, corporations were not created by the same Creator as people, were they*?

The subject was corporations.

If you open a constitutional convention right now, there is a solid chance you will get the opposite of what you're suggesting due to who is currently in charge of most states.

We need to stop worshipping a piece of paper that’s become so bulky and cumbersome, and which was disingenuous, from the beginning. Portugal did that, and so can any other state.

The verb was worshipping. Portugal didn't rewrite their Constitution in a vacuum. We're nowhere near ready for that.

There is a non-zero chance they agree to all just dissolve the union altogether at this point condemning the real but disenfranchised minorities of Red states to a fate I don't want to be responsible for.

I live in one of those states. So I'm feeling that, 💯. At the same time, nothing is gained without sacrifice. So I advocate education, preparation. And we're already in the hypercapitalism stage of collapse, and it's coming at us like an ICBM with a nuclear warhead. I'd just started making enough to tread water and suffered a work injury which significantly reduced my income. And we've still got more "~~FU, I got MINE~~" dubiously "well-meaning" liberals slapping the hands that would offer a long-term course of medicine that would cure this syphilitic paper-worship, both profit that casts our own, alive, onto the altar of Molech, as a burnt offering as we live-stream genocide and DARVO victims to maintain dollar hegemony for the priests of a Caanite storm and war G-d, bombing schools of little girls, who incidentally, were blessed by this same G-d, according to their own scripture, as well as a bald-faced lie of a Constitution.

And yet, to save the many and hopefully manifest a destiny that doesn't genocide and colonize and enslave and traffic non-whites, women, children, disabled and differently-abled as a sacrifice on the altars of Mammon and Molech, for the lust of money, sacrifices will be made. Should they not be made by those who know the risks and are willing, that the generations behind us may have a chance? And if not human chances, than whatever life may survive, because when these servants of greed, slavery, rape, and pedophilia will sacrifice the flora and fauna, they're already sacrificing the air, water, soil, so all that remains are the battles of ~~wands~~ ~~wills~~ fire (and possibly brimstone). To put it as someone far wiser than I:

Kill off mankind and give the Earth a chance. Nature may find, in her inheritance, some seedlings of a race less infinitely base.

Not that this is my preferred sentiment. I'm just saying the battles are coming, and people refuse to do the minimum to prepare. It would behoove all of us to face* our demons, that they become our holy guardian angels, before then.

Do what you will shall be the whole of the law. The Magnum Opus is not for the faint-hearted. Destiny looms.

Deus miserere nobis. In nomine patris et filii, et si spiritus sanctus.

I have to post this to proof it. I hope it's legible and makes sense to you, since it turned into a stream of consciousness.

You don't get it. There are other implications.

There are trickier issues: can a government ban halal slaughter, and would a Muslim-owned butcher shop be entitled to a religious exemption (if, assuming, individuals were granted that exemption)? I'd argue you have to look to the nature of the business or organization to determine whether that particular right applies to that organization, so the butcher shop can invoke the religion of the human butcher, and possibly even the human customers who want to buy halal meat.

How does that work with indie pharmacies and birth control, or bakeries asked to decorate pro/antitrans cakes?

Life ain't black and white, and it's extremely callow to expect it.

I don't know that anyone who has participated in the murder and oppression of others to maintain business interests and dollar hegemony are exactly "good."

~~Right~~Reich-wing activist James O'Keefe

Oh, this guy again. Go figure.

Sigh.

Can't you at least try to imagine improvements, from execution to safeguards? You know the United States exists because of violent revolution and no one could guarantee the outcome, right?

As it is now, if we don't start taking steps to educate ourselves, the outcome is most assuredly guaranteed.

A pity Sally Hemmings didn't slit his throat.

But, the founders were deists and believed in a Creator, so let's try to look at it from their point of view, because that's what our backwards Supreme Court does..

Perhaps not in the ways people wildly imagine, and perhaps that's the intent.

After all, corporations were not created by the same Creator as people, were they*?

No but by the same sorts of people who had the Tower of Babel built, intending to lord it over the common people.

I would be 100% in favor of an amendment that clearly spells out that the rights enumerated in the Constitution are limited to actual humans, and any corporation or other group of people are not entitled to any more inherent rights than the humans who make up the corporation are entitled to collectively. You don't get more rights simply by paying a filing fee to Delaware!

We need to stop worshipping a piece of paper that's become so bulky and cumbersome, and which was disingenuous, from the beginning. Portugal did that, and so can any other state.

100 mil. A pittance.
