    The reality is that *all* government expenses are paid by printing money. The spending is completely independent from the taxes. Taxes only exist for 2 purposes: To modify the behavior of the public by artificially increasing costs. And to control inflation by removing money from the...

    5.56 anti-drone rounds

    Drones are fragile. I would think heavier bird shot would be more appropriate than buck. You don't need a lot of penetration (at least with current designs). What you do want is lots of chances to hit something important.

    As much as I'd love that, I think a thousand bureaucrats who were "just following orders" would be far better in the long run. Shit weasels in charge can do nothing if the drones below them recognize illegal orders and refuse to participate. The deep state will find another Obama (or puppet...

    Just wind them up and watch them go. In the past presidents used to start wars to distract the media. Trump just needs to rename a body of water and that's all they'll talk about for weeks.

    Gabbard claims treasonous conspiracy

    2 parties is basically baked in to the structure of our government. The only way to end up with a single party system would be for the party to essentially replace the government the way it does in communist regimes. If one of our parties dies, a new one will form to replace it within one or...

    Concentrating on the top is a mistake. The deep state thrives because the middle managers think they're safe. If you just prosecute the guys at the top they will just be replaced and the same middle guys will serve the new overlords just as well. But, if you start throwing the middle...

    Yes, but they absolutely do not want that to come to trial and have to defend it. The same reason SAFE act charges all got plead down or never filed. They're afraid they would lose and the whole law would be gone. If that never happens they can keep threatening people with it.
