The majority of the democrat party, along with elements of our department of justice, deserve to face charges of gross dereliction of duty, for violating their oath to office and for crimes against humanity derived from the open border they all supported or defended. The crimes committed here are unforgivable due to the hundreds of thousands of lives lost and the slave trade that ensued, that can be directly linked to their crimes. I personally can forgive the high inflation that we experienced from the bad policies of the democrat party, but I cannot forgive the crimes against humanity. They are already going to answer to God, but they also need to answer to our laws that are on the books, that they all took an oath to enforce and to defend. The media takes a different oath. It goes like this, Preamble Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking “truth” and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and “honesty”. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility. Members of the Society share a dedication to “ethical behavior” and adopt this code to declare the Society’s principles and standards of practice./ The MSM as a whole is guilty of violating these principles. They all deserve to pay a price for their crimes as well.

The US Constitution is a perfect document. Definitely more perfect than anything a modern day politician could pen. People have forgotten that it protects every single American citizen. That is what it was laid out to do. People have also forgotten that it was written with the current crop of Democrats in mind. The people who want to change it, at the very least but, in reality want to abolish it. Ask yourself "Why would anyone want to change or abolish a document that protects everyone?". That should be a rhetorical question by the way.

The people who wrote it didn't think it was perfect, that's why they amended it.

The pre-existing natural right of the individual to self-defense, shall always be upheld and protected. The right to manufacture, keep and bear arms, ammunition, and parts and accessories for arms, will not be infringed or impeded, by any law or mandate by either the states or the federal government. A free market being necessary for a free people, the right to manufacture arms for sale, or any accessory for arms including ammunition, will not be infringed or impeded, by any law or mandate, by either the federal government or the states.

The ostensible supporters of the Constitution, like the ostensible supporters of most other governments, are made up of three classes, viz.: 1. Knaves, a numerous and active class, who see in the government an instrument which they can use for their own aggrandizement or wealth. 2. Dupes-a large class, no doubt-each of whom, because he is allowed one voice out of millions in deciding what he may do with his own person and his own property, and because he is permitted to have the same voice in robbing, enslaving, and murdering others, that others have in robbing, enslaving, and murdering himself, is stupid enough to imagine that he is a “free man,” a “sovereign”; that this is “a free government”; “a government of equal rights,” “the best government on earth,” and such like absurdities. 3. A class who have some appreciation of the evils of government, but either do not see how to get rid of them, or do not choose to so far sacrifice their private interests as to give themselves seriously and earnestly to the work of making a change. Lysander Spooner 1870.

[@azzir325]

For ALL of human history, wealth equated to the power to rule by force. THAT all ended when, for the first time in human history, the power to rule was declared to belong to THE PEOPLE by the formation of the United States under the US Constitution who agreed to be GOVERNED, not RULED, by an elected body of the people. A good idea that spread to a lot of places and has gotten a lot of us happily through the last 200 plus years. BUT power through wealth never went away, although it was reigned in throughout the Free World. But it is making a comeback. It has USED the system of free people to install itself where the handles of power lie, and this day threatens to wrest the power away from the people to be reinstalled into the hands of the monied elite. The elite are trying to take the power to rule AWAY from THE PEOPLE and return it to authoritarians. The US Constitution stands in their way so naturally they will attempt to destroy it. THIS must be prevented at all costs!
