Ahh so it was like a free-spirited manifesto letter they wrote for posterity? Shame that it’s not a law or otherwise legally binding document.

I’m no political scientist or savvy follower of politics, but isn’t there a paragraph or two in the Declaration of Independence about our right (duty even) to overthrow such dictators…?

Sadly, those in power here lack the integrity and conviction to follow suit 😕

Dang it, it sounds almost like a subscription that tax payers will end up having to pay into

I can see how some people can be a tad dramatic at times with rhetoric, but the writing is on the wall in regard to the Nazi salute Elon Musk did at his speech. You have to call a pig, a pig, no matter how much lipstick it might have on to distract you from the fact otherwise.

But I digress a bit. What exactly is the point you were referring to, that I and others seem to be missing? That Trump’s words are just words and because other people who don’t have anywhere near the power/authority/wealth say things in a similar manner back at him/his “friends” his actions and speech should be dismissed, justified even??

This made me chuckle more than it should have
