Obama removed more illegals without any of this happening

Congressmen Jim McGovern nails it https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/save-me-your-crocodile-tears-rep-jim-mcgovern-calls-out-the-gop-hypocrisy-in-trump-sending-national-guard-to-la/vi-AA1GqB0u?cvid=5c1172c4710f4e28a7b941bf0013544c&ei=23

Beshear is correct. Many areas in his state have over 50% medicaid pts. That's the case in many counties not far from me. Hospitals WILL close and people will go without any care. And most of them voted for trump. "I love the uneducated". Most members of congress and senators from these states are MAGA. Once hospitals close and poor people end up going to an ER fifty miles away from their home for band aid care with no follow up,, that might change. But never underestimate stupidity.

As predicted in 2010. See above link. It's happening right now as predicted. In his 2010 analysis published by Nature, Turchin identified several warning signs in the domestic electorate: stagnating wages, a growing wealth gap, a surplus of educated elites without corresponding elite jobs, and an accelerating fiscal deficit. All of these phenomena, he argued, had reached a turning point in the 1970s. "These seemingly disparate social indicators are actually related to each other dynamically," he wrote at the time. "Nearly every one of those indicators has intensified," Turchin said in an interview with Newsweek, citing real wage stagnation, the effects of artificial intelligence on the professional class and increasingly unmanageable public finances. Turchin's prediction was based on a framework known as Structural-Demographic Theory (SDT), which models how historical forces—economic inequality, elite competition and state capacity—interact to drive cycles of political instability. These cycles have recurred across empires and republics, from ancient Rome to the Ottoman Empire. "Structural-Demographic Theory enables us to analyze historical dynamics and apply that understanding to current trajectories," Turchin said. "It's not prophecy. It's modeling feedback loops that repeat with alarming regularity." He argues that violence in the U.S. tends to repeat about every 50 years— pointing to spasms of unrest around 1870, 1920, 1970 and 2020. He links these periods to how generations tend to forget what came before. "After two generations, memories of upheaval fade, elites begin to reorganize systems in their favor, and the stress returns," he said. One of the clearest historical parallels to now, he notes, is the 1970s. That decade saw radical movements emerge from university campuses and middle-class enclaves not just in the U.S., but across the West. The far-left Weather Underground movement, which started as a campus organization at the University of Michigan, bombed government buildings and banks; the Red Army Faction in West Germany and Italy's Red Brigades carried out kidnappings and assassinations. These weren't movements of the dispossessed, but of the downwardly mobile—overeducated and politically alienated. "There's a real risk of that dynamic resurfacing," Turchin said. edit: went to the no kings site. nothing about communism. They're helping to organize a nationwide rally that will draw thousands against dictatorship. That's democracy, not communism. Not exactly the weather underground but that's probably coming soon.

Best explanation I’ve seen. Rome is burning https://www.newsweek.com/peter-turchin-political-violence-donald-trump-barack-obama-riots-2083007

If I was there at th outset, I'd attend. I'm sure there are like mannered Angelinos that were there. You might think IR'm an ####### but I'm not lawless. Never been arrested nor do I think I ever will. I'll bet there are some on this board who can't say that. Once the military came I would have left immediately. We all should know what happened to the Tianemen Square protester who stood in front of a tank.

The woods are full of interesting things. A bear wrecked our birdfeeder. And knocked over the garbage. Wild turkeys are a mess. There was a huge snapping turtle in the pond. And then a water snake. The fish are smart enough to hide. And I’ve got bear spray, an air horn and shotgun. Be prepared as we were taught in scouts.

never thought for minute that he wouldn't. And y'all wanted this.

It;s gonna be alright

except for some, it's not about religion. My religious beliefs align with the rights. It's about live and let live on social issues. Who am I to judge as Pope Francis said. But authoritarianism I can't abide.

In your head deep...!'m somewhat incapacitated at present. Bingo's OK ,I guess. But when I play games, I prefer bridge. And pi$$ing off the lib "owners". And I've been a Bills fan since I saw them practice at Niagara University. This is very cool: https://www.buffalobills.com/news/throwback-thursday-bills-training-camp-history-10537441

And your good with that...I'll mark you down as in favor of authoritarianism, Asshat.

Face it. The train wreck that was the Biden administration and is the Demicratic party is what got Trump elected Agree up to here. The biden admin did not satisfy the majority. And hiding his apparent Parkinson's and probable dementia was disgraceful and badly damaged our party.

have seen them. They're sharp and should last a long time. you might even be able to pass it on. It's cool to have a love one's watch. My jazz master has a skeleton on the back. More subtle I think. no and the didn't Jan 6. I was comparing lies about riots or did you miss that?

From the police chief's presser, he told a major lie. but at least he's not a member of congress... https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/13/politics/andrew-clyde-january-6-riot/

Not thru authoritarianism. I guess you one of Americans who support that?

That's very definitive from an important source. But the NG is only authorized, by law, to offer support. The definition of that is of maximum importance

I had my dad's cleaned by a local jeweler. Looks brand new. It's over 50 years old. I think he charged me $50. You might try it.

They were stopping it. I thought you were a states rights proponent.

No, I have 2. My father's gold, US made automatic masterpiece retirement watch and a self winding, swiss made Jazzmaster. Love them, especially the old one. Considering getting a ventura.

Yes “Doc”, you are a joke. Keep on laughing.

Here’s the original article I quoted as saying scholars were almost unanimous on Hamilton opposing the alien act. There’s always a few outliers and this dude from middle Tennessee state apparently is one. Interesting his piece contains no citation. The one I cited has many to support the claim https://www.jstor.org/stable/i261237
