To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
— Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Joseph Milligan (1816)

That about sums it up. If Biden won 2020 with so very many legitimate votes, there’d be no reason for the Dems’ DOJ and various Dem legal personnel to be persecuting President Trump. Like so much surrounding 2020, their lawfare certainly makes it look like they usurped the Presidency and are terrified of the consequences of doing so.
Mimicry in nature is quite common, e.g., the Viceroy butterfly mimicking the Monarch butterfly. And, never let be said that Man isn’t an animal. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t trust appearances or your first impressions. That could lead to unpleasant surprises. 😉
I’ve decided to start over in life, move back to the country, and start a sustainable, animal cruelty free, organic, PETA-approved dairy. Does anyone know how to get ESG funds to help with this?
That Foreign Aid is just a fancy, disingenuous, and legally defensible way for politicians to say, “money laundering” is a factual way of defining the term and practice. It’s not the only correct way of defining – hence why I’ve used “factual” instead of “honest” – but it does correct identify the reality on the ground since a large number of politicians do essentially use it that way, even if the goal of the Foreign Aid is at least somewhat legitimate.
And no, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Democrats, I’m not stating this in a vacuum of ignorance or through being influenced by the media or certain internet pundits. I worked for many years for employers that made the majority of their income off of Foreign Aid. I saw who the major investors were. I watched the changes in said investments match whether or not a contract would be won by employers. I took the meetings with politicians and dealt with their very specific questions regarding my deployments. And, I testified in one of the hearings when they actually got gigged for influence peddling and corruption.
This is a large part of why politicians get wealthy while in office. It’s also why any and all reforms they enact upon themselves of pro forma slaps on the wrists without any impact or deterrence.
Yep. That seemingly stable warming trend turned out to be False Spring and also showed us why it’s also called Fool’s Spring. Ah well, live, learn, and accept that we’re going to need to take sudden steps to “stay warm.” 😉
