    At the risk of triggering a Godwin, isn't all this rather reminiscent of a certain German dictator in the 1930s and 1940s?  

    Let's see:

    - Invades peaceful country next door for no reason.

    - Claims to be protecting the people there who share his country's language.

    - Rounds up civilians and forcibly ships them far away.

    Yes, perfect duplication of what the Nazis did, and then with a straight face, tries to claim the objective is to "de-Nazify" the area.

    And 250 years ago when this was all conceived, that rural/urban split made more sense when the vast majority of the country's population lived in rural areas. Now, not so much. If the founding fathers were conceiving a national structure today, what would they come up with?

    The purpose was to give disproportionate representation to the slave-owning states so they prevent slavery from being abolished. The fact that the slave-owning states were more rural was just coincidental.

    Fauci is responsble for COVID, AIDS, chickenpox, bad breath and pet rocks.  He's also the fifth dentist.  He paid a lot for that muffler.  He shot JR.  He left someone ELSE's heart in San Francisco - after he killed them.  He was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.  He faked the Moon landing.  He ran that secret pedophile satanic sex ring in the basement of a pizza place in Washington, DC for Hillary Clinton.  He voted illegally for Biden.  He forgot to change that O-ring in the Challenger's SRB.  He is even the one who leaked the Supreme Court decision!

    People are saying he is also the Zodiac Killer.

    #ShariaLaw

    The right wing doesn't have any problem with the concept of Sharia Law; They are just jealous that it is based on the Quran instead of the Bible.

  16. I think it was back in 1998 that I bought an electric mower, (cord not battery). I'm still using it. In all this time I've had to replace a circuit breaker in the handle (once), and the brushes in the motor (once). And typically sharpen the blade once/year.

    Gee, the courts and trump on the same page: Donald Trump says he won’t return to Twitter if Elon Musk reverses ban

    • Donald Trump said Monday he wouldn’t return to Twitter even if Elon Musk reversed the former president’s ban.
    • “I was disappointed by the way I was treated by Twitter. I won’t be going back on Twitter,” the former president told CNBC’s Joe Kernen.

    Are you saying we should believe something that came out of Trump's mouth?

  21. AP: North Dakota legislator’s home searched after inmate texts

    Police and federal agents in Grand Forks seized video discs and other items from the home of North Dakota’s longest-serving state senator after he had traded scores of text messages with a man jailed on child pornography charges....

    ...Holmberg, a Republican who rose to become one of the state’s most powerful lawmakers in a career that spanned 46 years, announced last month that he would resign June 1.

    But wait; I thought they told us it was the Democrats who were into child porn!

  22. Musk's $44 billion Twitter buyout challenged in shareholder lawsuit

    In a complaint filed in Delaware Chancery Court, the Orlando Police Pension Fund said that under Delaware law Musk cannot complete the takeover until at least 2025 unless holders of two-thirds of shares not "owned" by him approved.

    That's a shame.

    On one hand, I don't mind seeing a rich fool pay a 15% premium (over market cap), on a company that hasn't turned a profit since 2019.

    On the other hand seeing his buyout attempt fail, could also be satisfying.
