CONSPIRACY OR COINCIDENCE?

you-all must be a special type of finger posters .

They can't fix or figure our squat , many here talk about gas pressures and stuff !!
My gas pressure is relived external and the trees love it .
Stut off gas , Turn off the supply 90* tap , drill the body core and tape in a bolt (small) weld it down with HI amps and great PEN ,..

Gas is off , power pull meter ,, drill through base drop and kill wires

OFF LINE ,
just saying , saw this in a real movie , called LIFE

 

You know, I was in agreement with the above and also wrote this: "the 1st Amendment allows them the right to lie as much and as often as they want" but...now I am hearing the verdict for Alex Jones is a tremendous payout (like hundreds of millions $$$) as found him guilty... and all he did was lie about the news also so...so I am confused as hell right now.

 

If AJ got a $1billion fine for exercising the first amendment, just imagine how much CNN is going to be fined for this.

A fine far too big to ever be paid is meaningless. Alex will just laugh in their faces. Sure, maybe it ruins him. But they still get nada.

 

I'm thinking Rittenhouse will get a nice payday.

 

Its interesting that they sued his company and him personally. His comments were done in the capacity of journalism and usually the work and the personal must have extenuating circumstances to cover both. It seems like this is corruption of the legal system to bring down a small company and all of those people cheer leading this ruling care more about their feelings than actual justice. They are actually celebrating, like some comments above, the taking of their own freedoms and destruction of the first amendment.

 

I would not have the people vote on the bills. We can’t get most of the people to educate themselves adequately to intelligently vote on a few candidates in an election. “Oh, Trump seems mean so I’ll vote for Biden, he seems nice.”
No way people will educate themselves on thousands and thousands of pages of legislation each year so they can vote intelligently.
So, they’d generally not vote or will vote based on the name of the legislation which we know often does the opposite of its name. Ex: Affordability Care Act, Inflation Reduction Act, etc. Or they’d vote based on who had the better marketing campaign. That is the BS that gets us crap legislators.

Lastly, you do NOT want everything being decided by majority/mob rule. The mob will always win over the rights of the individual. Our constitution was set up specifically to NOT be a full democracy to prevent the tyranny of the majority from destroying the rights of the minority which at its most base level is the individual.

 

I must admit that I wasn't entirely serious when I brought this up as I also thought of the danger of going to a 'full democracy' would essential be asking for trouble, big trouble. No, my thought is more of what can we change that removes power from their hands AND keeps it out of their hands, some defense they cannot navigate around. So, we are in agreement.

However, I do think the general public takes much more interest now in politics than say 10 years ago, obviously not 100%, and many still vote with their emotions or simply out of loyalty but it is changing.

 

This was my first thought also but we'll have to see what happens on appeal. Obviously, the news media must be scared to death as it seems to me this could ruin them, even force them to tell the truth upon occasion. LOL! I think they would be spitting 'Free Speech and Free Press' rhetoric if it was anyone but AJ; however, since it is AJ and about guns... It will be funny if this comes back to bite them.

 

Ahh… yes, we are certainly in agreement that .gov has way too much power and that ultimately gets to absolute corruption. We’re both just exploring how to reverse that. I am fearful we are rapidly closing in on the tipping point, if not already past it.

I am sort of speculating that maybe the only way is to ultimately starve the beast and lop off major tentacles if common sense ever gains control of executive and legislative branches again. Not holding my breath.

 

The only way to fix this problem of government corruption involves a guillotine and a lot of stout rope!

 

We should go back to the old way for senators.

 

Agreed on going back. There’s a process for that, that’s how it happened in the first place.

Anyone know the history behind that? A search oddly doesn’t turn up much.

 

Corruption and graft in the state process during those days. Some thing just never change, or for the good. Who was the asshat governor of Illinois that tried to, essentially, auction off the vacated seat of, Obummer ?

 

Blagovich?

 

There was a study done about this and the results were something like 90% of the time when regular people voted on a subject they picked the path that lead to tyranny.
