[@thornlings]

@@thesanfranciscoseahorse473 I doubt you actually wanted a reply, but I'm feeling generous so here is one anyway. I do not support "spitting on soldiers". I don't support spitting on anyone. And I do not know anyone, of any political persuasion, who does. Not sure where you're getting that one. Do I "support" flag burning? Inasmuch as I support any other lawful expression of someone's first amendment rights. I wouldn't personally do it, but it has been classified as protected speech, and so I wouldn't support legal action against someone who did it, because ultimately that action against them would be declared a violation of their rights. Further, I don't think the two are comparable. My statement was specifically about the use of the confederate flag in the United States capitol by people calling themselves American patriots. The confederate flag is literally the flag of traitors to America. That's what they were, that's why they created a flag. Because they didn't want to be part of America anymore and needed a flag for their new "country". Flying the flag of a traitor while calling yourself a patriot is such a specific example of hypocrisy that it is mind boggling how anyone could've thought to do it. It is inherently contradictory. You can not fly the flag of enemies of the country you are claiming to support. It doesn't even make sense.

[@thesanfranciscoseahorse473]

@@thornlings They certainly don't see themselves as traitors. I don't think they should have been waving that flag around either, but I'm sure if you asked them they wouldn't see it the way you've described. Most of the people I've met who use that flag see it as a symbol of independence. Naive? Ya probably. But they see themselves as resisting a government they think is going against the will of the people. These people genuinely believe the election went to Trump and that the Left is cheating them out of a victory by undermining our democracy. Exactly the same accusation the Left throws at them. They are sitting on two sides of the same street seeing each other as doing the exact same thing. I blame the media for not having these people sit down and explain their views clearly. Instead, its all name-calling and "traitor" accusations. These people might have been foolish, trespassers, vandalizers. But traitors? Worthy of execution? If thats true then we need to see the same logic applied to BLM rioters who burned down a federal court house and several police stations while burning American flags and chanting slurs against the nation.

Especially considering a growing pile of evidence that his interests are NOT that of national defense or security, the one claim he had going for him. He incited a riot against a US government building, and did nothing to stop it. That alone should immediately disbar him from office. And then there’s the fact that he stole hundreds of classified documents. Why does he need those? Honestly ask yourself how that can possibly benefit our country. There is no legitimate reason. The most likely scenario is that he saw value in them, and wanted to hold onto as much information as possible for future leverage. No, he did not go through the process to declassify any of them. And to actually declassify such a large number of documents without really knowing what’s in them is honestly a more severe case of negligence than just taking them. The man is a con artist.

But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.

There's also Medicade and Medicare which are government sponsored healthcare for the elderly. 401k is an additional retirement program that a portion of your paycheck goes into and you can access it after you retire even if you lose your job or leave it early.

Mom come pick me up I'm scared. I've watched a handful of your videos but somehow I never saw this one. And honestly? I'm glad I first found it now. Having seen what you are like in your other videos makes this one incredibly impactful. It's like when the quiet person in an argument finally yells for everyone to clap their trap and speaks after having listened to everyone and considered their arguments to come up with the best solution and call out the bad decisions that come from negative emotions instead of logical reasoning. Or rather, doing the exact opposite of trump

I'm not American and I don't pay much attention to what's happening there (unless it seems like it will affect my country), but even I paused that day and watched the news all day long, thinking "what on earth is going on there? I'm not surprised per se, but I'm sure as hell worried".

@Cherek Dauvin Nothing that was done during that riot was protected by the constitution. Murder, property damage, storming the capitol, beating people with flagpoles, intent to kidnap and murder are not things allowed by the constitution. Try reading it some time. If you are on the side of traitors to the country, you are a traitor yourself. You know what is protected by the constitution? Voting. Which we already did. No matter all the attempts to stop our right to vote and have our votes count, the people have spoken.

This in comparison to all the old men and women devoid of fervor after literally being attacked at the capitol. They made the same sort of platitudes about it being a right wing mob goaded on by Trump and his lies about voter fraud, literally what they have been saying every single day for a year now. Never a commitment to action or a show of strong resolve. You fight fire with fire. Not roll on your back and press the repeat button on your tape recorder.
