@DanielLMcAdams So long as Russia is getting what it wants in Ukraine, it might make sense not to change things, but frontline changes in Ukraine are making it seem like slow grinding progress is turning to a practical stalemate, so those disincentives to escalation may be disappearing.

@Yelkington1 @AuronMacintyre Apart from the Bill of Rights, the US constitution completely sucks, and there would have been no need for the Bill of Rights apart from the constitution. The constitution sucks, and the war was only one of its huge faults.

@LibertyLockPod Who cares about the GOP? Who cares if there's 1 good rep out of 435? It's time to recognize what we should have been burning down all along was the constitution. It's an irreparably broken system.

@DanielLMcAdams @KimIversenShow We have a rigged constitution.

@CptAncapistan @ChaseForLiberty Massie's district is so red, Gallrein could win the general election with more or less just the portion of Republicans he won in the primary, so Massie's supporters would actually need to go beyond not voting and vote for the Dem for Gallrein to lose the general election.

@DanielLMcAdams I don't understand. What could Putin do? Offer nuclear protection to Iran by promising to nuke Israel if Israel nukes Iran?

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@LPMisesCaucus It's so much worse than that. Drawing young men off to war is terribly destructive of families and communities even completely apart from the men that are killed and maimed (physically and mentally.)

@IanTaylorSwole @F1tness_Fr3ak @CptAncapistan Those Somalians were brought to the US in response to American overseas military adventures, too, so yeah, the cost of that fraud and all the other costs they've imposed on Americans can be added, together with the defense budget, to the cost of American imperialism.

@ivanthegrave @beaubarlotte @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter Can you even articulate whatever you're imagining would have prevented the South from continuing to own slaves if they hadn't fought?

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@ivanthegrave @beaubarlotte @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter That "fact" is undeniably false, pure nonsense. Both the Union and Confederacy continued to own slaves throughout the entire war. The South fought for its independence with the Corwin amendment on the table.

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@beaubarlotte @ivanthegrave @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter What was the point of your first reply to me if not to point out the very close connection between an inherited right to rule over other people and slavery? One comment later you're suddenly blind to that connection?

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@beaubarlotte @ivanthegrave @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter I thought you were pointing out the very close connection between fighting for an inherited right to rule over other people and slavery. Do you only see the connection in one direction?

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@F1tness_Fr3ak @CptAncapistan The opportunity for 4-person household to pay an average of $10,000/year in taxes for the military alone? The opportunity for our young men to be sent to go kll people on the other side of the planet for reasons having nothing to do with our security?

@Stephan04879011 @GregMooreNH I didn't know NH also had a 10% of current value "land use change tax" on top of NH's extremely high property tax rate (3-4 times the rate of other states that also have present use value systems.)

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@ivanthegrave @beaubarlotte @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter Yes, indeed, the North did practically fight for the principles of slavery. Even abolitionists said so at the time.

[Frothy Assets @frothyassets]

The name of a killed service member covered up by a Dow Jones index ticker is a pretty grim metaphor for how America often operates.

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@scotthortonshow I wouldn't vote for any Jews (or atheists) either. Nothing remotely "living constitution" about how people choose to vote.

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@NicholasLissack I bet the guy with the Middle Eastern flag in his bio is actually the anti-Western snake.

[Eric @eerrriiiic]

@JP_Polnareff69 @beaubarlotte @CptAncapistan @CaitlinPacific @annbauerwriter There was nothing uniquely American about slavery in 1776. The principles I described were the original idea of America, and the North went to war against them in 1861.

@Dynastus @SandroChess If you live a suburban life in the country, you're just a selfish hypocrite destroying what you like.
