The New Update About The Capitol Pipe Bomber Underscores How Little We Know About The Case

Even more fundamental than exercising Constitutional rights. He, like all true patriots who live in real America, believe that “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” So it is written, so it shall be done.

I’ll leave my usual reminder (mainly for use w/ MAGAs who never knew or pretend to forget) that for the whole of the 1950s, the top marginal US federal income tax rate never dropped below 91%. :smirk::money_mouth_face:

Wealth was more equitably distributed, the rich were taxed more (as you say), and government was building stuff all over the place.

That’s what Trumpers say they want, but they don’t realize the other faction in their party doesn’t want any of that at all.

Why he thought the combo of Trump, Elon and RFK Jr. are good for the country is baffling. All three are ego maniacs who have no concern about the actual health of the country. He was delusional and I shudder to think about how many of folks like him are in our armed forces.

I know the NYT isn’t popular here, but it’s one of the few sources left for this kind of national media reporting (below). It’s profitable with its subscription model, which gives it at least some immunity from outside influence. Until Musk buys it, I guess. Anyway, here’s a free gifted link:

Some more Humpty Dumpty… Ahhh, Lewis Carroll on a Saturday morning !

Livelsberger called for an armed insurrection and purge of Democrats from government. Round them up and get rid of them? He was in the military special forces and did any of his superiors note that his beliefs were this outrageous.

Military and vets move on DC starting now. Militias facilitate and augment this activity.

Occupy every major road along fed buildings and the campus of fed buildings by the hundreds of thousands.

Lock the highways around down with semis right after everybody gets in. Hold until the purge is complete.

Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary. They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse.

So, how large did someone’s income have to be to achieve a 91% tax rate?

You’d need to explain to Spork Foot that you mean Vladimir Lenin (not John Lennon) and Karl Marx (not Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, or Gummo).
