When you're disappointed in your elected representative, remember three forces may shape their decisions:
Previous moral compromise.
Threats against their family.
Or greed — wealth one could never have earned honestly.
Even the Magna Carta was signed under threat. This is just bare-knuckle politics. Power has always worked this way.

When I was a kid, you could buy most of these types of components at a store called Radio Shack. It was a walking distance from my house.

Make sure you're not being screwed by someone that doesn't even have insurance or the means to actually pay you. If you can, let your insurance work it out.

I'm already against the next bombing.

Amen. Rights proceed government and persists despite it.

Free peoples must cooperate to defend their rights, or they will lose them.

Citizens must use whatever liberties remain to reclaim their rights and recover their freedom.

There is nothing more dangerous than a scared cop. Nothing frightens an officer more than people who refuse to respect their authority. The killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis is a grim reminder of what happens when fear meets a badge.

You're not paying; the government is paying, out of funds they confiscated from you. You don't get any more say in how it's spent than you did to "pay" it. #taxationIsTheft

Muh roads?

If you say “we” when referring to government actions, then you’re taking responsibility for them.
That includes the nuclear bombing of civilian populations, the Wounded Knee Massacre, the internment of innocent families, covert coups, mass surveillance, and detention by armed agents of the state.
It’s easy to claim the good and ignore the bad. But responsibility doesn’t work that way.
If you didn’t do it, didn’t choose it, and don’t have the power to stop it, then don’t claim “we.”

Corrupt government isn't news. Finding a good one—that would be news.

What’s more likely?
That poor Somali immigrants suddenly outsmarted the U.S. government?
Or that they were walked through a system built to move money fast — and blamed when it blew up?
We owe them that question.
