I'm sick & tired of living in a red state, and I like people in the midwest, so the only direction
for me to go is Colorado, hope they allow me to wear a KC Chiefs hat.

We know the Fat Bastard was given to using mercenaries whenever the Pentagon and CIA wouldn't go along with some hare-brained idea (Operation Gideon in Venezeula, for one) - and of course, how vindictive he is.

"China won't give my Tootsie her $2 billion? Hit'em with the Kung Flu!"

"But, sir: that would spread all over the world - including to U.S. shores!"

"Did I stutter? Do it Goddammit!!"

It was inevitable that it would be downhill all the way for them, once they did so.

The "slippery slide" the John Birchers always howled about does exist - but its fascism.

If it isn't 100% clear by now, then what? To me it has been 100% clear since years ago, but this...what lawyers call "the insurrection, the worst that has happened against our Democracy" and the thugs who planned the entire thing are still at large? Well, there is your answer.
