Listen up people , The tanks are about to come through ... Can we Please have the leftists lined up on the left side of the street.. and all the right-minded on the right. That would be very helpful, thank you for all the cooperation.

"and theft of the fruits of human labor." Money doesn't go away when rich get their hands on it.

Speaking of which , I am wondering what kind of drugs Dershowitz was taking in the seventies but they were not a great time for Democrat leadership in New York > I was also alive then and lived there. It was a terrible time for New York. Between Abe Beame and Ed Koch , we had garbage strikes , blackout , near bankruptcy and rat plagues , and other problems ,,So , No , no this was not a time to recollect that Liberal leadership was doing a fine job for the citizens of New York.

Consider it that both camps, red and blue, have the idea that they are in the right, and are subject to gross injustice... Leaving justifications aside, if those sides feel law and justice is not a thing to be had, not a thing to revere, the system will be seen as a failure , violence and lawlessness will likely follow. More fuel continues to be tossed on the fire,and despite the fact my drive to work was uneventful ,opinions are still being stoked. Fact needs to be presented universally, accountability needs to be administered blindly..and be seen to be getting done. Because those fraudulent voters are adding up, and the gov is going to need to have some credibility about that ,ahead of time.

I don't see anyone saying that the reason to be born is such , but I take it as fine that you think that is important, ; What if you die in utero? So what , you wouldn't care , besides , your bliss would be mundane for you. I'm not sure that's escapism ,, perhaps worded differently, I would understand this point. Yes , I agree with your conclusion.

I think that is a reasonable thing to surmise if we talking about -the whole time while we are alive overall. Things constantly shift from being in perfect balance with where we are, we get older , get hungry , our loved ones , if you got em , start getting into a fix, the fridge poops out , the AC starts bumping. ( yes bumping , one day the AC started making a horrific sound , bang bang bang - a snake got onto the fan blade so when the fan turned on , its head was slamming into the four sides of the handler) But for short durations maybe people can reach the blissful state I cant say, but coming home after work ,and after eating a nice meal , maybe the wife cooked up , and you plop on your ass in an easy chair , maybe you put on the ball game ... and everything can seem right in the world, there's nothing needing to be done. Can I say that the world gets better than anything I know ? ,,, No, I cant. And neither can anybody else.

Clearly, that depends on who you ask . IMO its coming to an understanding of the 'false narratives' we entertain. Pushing for more , beyond permanent peace happiness and so forth, is a definition of stupidity. If you have desires to achieve other than what you have done , then you are not in the ' fully contented state' , and you should keep heading there. But recognize that you may be leading yourself on with a ,( yes, same again ), ' false narrative" No such thing, IMo , false narrative.

Oh, I think I can comprehend.

There we go again, Gowdy indicates we should expect to find out what happened and 'move on' . No justice no accountability , these investigations are a sham. But he says the media should 'hold people accountable' . They keep verbalizing that we should expect ... Nada !

Yep, it's outta control, but rather than suggest fighting, I want justice to be asserted.. But ! ,, I'm getting old , don't need much,and I am getting tired of worrying about the fate of the folks who refuse to wake up. I'll pay attention for the entertainment value, and vote Republican right down the ballot this time, but , being concerned about the self inflicted problems has no point.

Because

Me too , I think an extra , third term , for Trump would make up for the one they tried to trash , and break the cycle of infection by allowing the carriers to succumb.

Its called rabies , when bats have it, and liberalism when people do

That's exactly what I was referring to

Not

No one is actually immune, some just have a more prepared immune system , or are not situated in an echo chamber with everybody coughing in their face

Oh , I thought you were talking about a different symmetry. 3 Lin Do not glorify the achievers So the people will not squabble Do not treasure goods that are hard to obtain So the people will not become thieves Do not show the desired things So their hearts will not be confused Thus the governance of the sage: Empties their hearts Fills their bellies Weakens their ambitions Strengthens their bones Let the people have no cunning and no greed So those who scheme will not dare to meddle Act without contrivance And nothing will be beyond control That there is a connection between the participants, should indeed be considered, but If I may , I suggest that the Way of humans is not really the natural way, we assign blame, assign responsibility , and deem virtue..( or the lack of it.) If the dichotomy is -responsibility vs thievery- (neither of which exist in the world of.. cats, by the way ) then we might consider virtue to be doing neither , (being neither irresponsible nor being a thief ), Then also there is the reverse which might be virtue , which is to DO take from the rich and give to the poor. Where I am going with this , is that , while the way of people is not the way of Tao , it still may be worthwhile to consider what Lao has to suggest on this because the reciprocity is inherent to such interactions , and it may offer a basis by which to excuse the transgressions of the virtues we invent. Acting without contrivance as Lin translates it, falls neatly into - avoiding the idea of the Tao of human "virtue" and judgement -, doing that , we are responsible for what befalls us. ......But we keep the idea of virtue fairness responsibility and such , and in so doing , we are no longer the determiner of virtue. Virtue then is determined by the group.

I disagree, they need to fix their own countries rather than drag their problems here, we have plenty. I am sure they have plenty of folks who would fit right in and obey the laws we basically agree on. However, we do have irresponsible people who would lure fraudulent voters, and create a second class 'citizen' workforce. Blame the thieves for thieving , blame the irresponsible for being irresponsible.

Exact-a-mundo ! That there, was supposed to be the dreaded prosecutor ? Are we supposed to assume that she has a vengeance against crime ,,,, a,, a , burning desire , for un-covering fact , from fiction and emotional bias? What I , saw... was some lady whining, in a pearl necklace , running for the Presidency of the US , trying to shame the fifth naughtiest politician in American history , over the fact that he was able to find common ground with racists similar to her local politicians because they didn't want to bus her to school , fifty odd years ago. And THEN standing next to him with her hand raised high in unison, to reward the illegal aliens with free health care! I haven't made up my mind, whether Castro's flip- flop on border control , is more hypocritical than that ,, its a tight race.

Im eating lunch so Ill skip them if its ok.

The drama continues to unfold, and the hateful communists last night, made their pitches to the public like good little apparatchiks. They presented a United front, most of them just happy to serve as a backdrop for the eventual nominee.. afraid to stand out, afraid to decry the faults of their closest competitors. That's just what you do when you are a pawn. Good little pawns ,victory will be for the state ,, or in this case, the party of their overlords. Maybe it will sink in over the next several months that they squandered the opportunity they had , by betraying the public, participating in the whitewash. Did Harris bring up the corruption of Biden ? No , not really, she wants someone else to do it. I only saw two of them do what they should ,over the two nights, Castro, and Delaney. They were the only two who didn't portray themselves as good little tools ,IMO. Would Trump not be fully prepared to hammer Pocahontas, or .03 percent DeBlasio? Would he not stand out in heroic glory while the likes of mayor ( bag-boy ) Pete swirls at his feet?

It's incredible to watch all these organizations and individuals self destruct by, Opening themselves up to competitors, relieving protections from a pile of blowing sand,etc, but we will be better off in the end, having the cycle play through. Trump is like a great mountain the waves dash upon. Confused Taoists often misunderstand the thing about water overcoming everything, the Earth is billions of years old, and there are still mountains here, waves there. New waves , new mountains. .. new piles of sand.

If you lure my enemy into a mine field , I benefited but you are guilty. If you break into the bank , knowing you are taking a risk , how the heck is the fault of the employee?

Actually the ciudadana question may pose a problem for some Immigrants who are residing here , perhaps with temporary papers , because they may lose their Mexican Nationality by Naturalisation ,by signing the census, without having actually become American citizens. Not to mention they may rightly expect deportation. For instance, you are born in Guatemala , grow up in Mexico , live in the states five years and get a drivers license, but you haven't been actually granted Citizenship HERE . I'm not sure , but you might then be royally screwed ,because you moved to a sanctuary city. However there is nothing new for US about asking the question, whether some choose not to participate, is up to them. Mexico - Nationality and citizenship In Article 30, the Constitution establishes that Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalisation. Mexican legislation applies the principles of ius soli and ius sanguini for acquiring nationality by birth. Mexicans by birth are: those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of their parents; those born abroad, who are children of a Mexican father or mother born in the national territory, or Mexicans by naturalization; those born on board Mexican vessels or aircraft, whether warships or merchant. Mexicans by naturalisation are: Foreigners that obtain from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a letter of naturalisation, under one of the following events, and who satisfy the other requirements established by the nationality act and its regulation: Have resided in the MexicanRepublic for five years or more with a migration document that authorises their residency; Have resided in the Mexican Republic for two years or more with a migration document that authorises their residency, provided that they are: a direct line descendant of a Mexican by birth, have Mexican children by birth, or are natives of a Latin American or Iberian Peninsula country; Have provided distinguished services to the nation; Have contracted marriage with a Mexican man or woman, and possess marital domicile within the national territory for two years or more, prior to the application. Likewise, Article 37 of the Constitution defines that no Mexican by birth may be deprived of his/her nationality, and that Mexican nationality by naturalisation will be lost due to voluntary acquisition of a foreign nationality, by pretending to be a foreigner on any public instrument, by using a foreign passport, or by using nobility titles that imply submission to a foreign state, and for residing during five continuous years abroad. On the other hand, the Nationality Act (1998) recognises non-loss of Mexican nationality just by mere acquisition of any other nationality. Articles 34 to 38 of the Constitution establishes that men and women are citizens of the Republic that, having the status of Mexicans (by birth or by naturaliSation), have reached 18 years of age. Article 37 defines that Mexican citizenship is lost upon acceptance or use of nobility titles of foreign governments; by providing voluntarily official services to a foreign government without the permission of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission; by acceptance or use of foreign decorations without the permission of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission; for admitting from the government of another country titles or functions without prior consent of the Federal Congress or its Permanent Commission, exempting literary, scientific, or humanitarian titles that can be accepted freely; for assisting, against the Nation, a foreigner or foreign government, in any diplomatic claim or before an international court, and in other cases set forth by law.

Well said. ... I want to see Castro take out Booker next go round , otherwise he was just picking on the weakest speaker.
