Once it's on the Internet, it stays forever, but only for the things you DON'T want. For the things you DO want, it will be wiped off the face of the Earth by tomorrow.

US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.

Jump

Ah, but Trump does not have the balls, brains, or moral integrity of Abraham Lincoln.

So, we got that going for us.

I actually read this, unusual for me. I appreciate your take, and while your reasons are real concerns, I'm not in agreement with your solution.

It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused and supported unlawful government.

A reboot of the X-Files but this time Scully is always right. Everything has a totally rational explanation and Mulder slowly loses his belive in the supernatural.

Not a bad viewpoint. But I give less credit to voting rights than I do to social media in our downfall.

I did not vote them in. AND they were elected and swore to uphold the Constitution, and they have broken that vow.

BTW, bearing arms against the government is not only legal, it's constitutional.

The idea of the right to revolt was famously articulated in the Declaration of Independence, which declared that “whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government.”

The Declaration went on to argue that “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”

Guerilla warfare works. It's great against large systems with small vulnerabilities. In those cases a small imbedded group is far better than outside force.

I hear.

Trump extends the TikTok ban deadline for a third time; there is no legal basis for the extensions and it is unclear how many times the deadline can be extended

How is he being blackmailed by TWO superpowers? China and Russia both have his balls.

Is there a service that gives you a web address that serves as a IP address for your home laptop or computer? I seem to remember something like that being mentioned on some previous post.

Newbie here again! How do I keep permission only users, like media, or radarr, from showing up on the login screen? It's just kind of unnecessary and cluttery... and it bothers me.
