Satire: The 2024 ticket of the Party of Law and Order |
Lets see now the Capitol rioters thought they were defending the Constitution of the United States by physically resisting the fulfillment of its most vivid clause: The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted; (Amendment XII) and Trump supporters count Mike Pence a traitor for doing exactly that.
Remember in 2021 when thousands of refugees were living under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas? President Biden sent in gun-toting goons in bulletproof vests to round them up and ultimately force them onto jets bound for Toussaint Louverture International Airport.Did you see how things were at the supermarket then? Many voters dont give a fire truck about the refugees, deported to a place where they have no job, no home, and many dont even speak Creole. You care when there is no strawberry yogurt, and, poor babies, you have to settle for raspberry yogurt, because factory managers have trouble hiring enough workers. Those refugees wanted to work. As the song goes, Well, tonight, thank God its them, instead of you.
Do you really think that your birthplace, being within certain lines on the map, makes you superior to them?
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.Tweet

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
—Declaration of Independence, 1776.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet.
Patrick Henry, 23 March 1775
Slave driver: Are you suggesting we just let all these Negroes just walk off their masters premises? Are you out of your cotton-picking mind? Theyll take jobs away from White folks!
Granger: Aint suggesting nothing. Im telling it like it is. They are free as of now, and thats all there is to it. Any objection? Objection overruled. Anybody who has a problem with that can tell somebody that cares.
