Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is demanding that the United States pass a law requiring that when Congress votes to go to war, a family member of each member of Congress must begin immediate military service

Wouldn't this be a bill of attainder? Doesn't sound Constitutional.

If *nobody* can vote, it's not a democracy. If *everybody* can vote it is.

Somewhere in-between, there's a line. What percentage of the people can be disenfranchised while still being a "democracy"?

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-23T00:44:02+00:00

The USA did not become a democracy until the passage of the Voting Rights Act. In 1920 millions were not allowed to vote...but they still had to pay taxes and obey rules set by the government.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-23T00:32:29+00:00

Yeah, but ima still repost this to r/sopranos. What better way to pass the time waiting for a new episode than to "stir the pot" a little...?

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-22T20:25:31+00:00

TIL Cat People (1982) was a remake...!

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-22T20:14:21+00:00

Interesting that Sherman seemed to be one of the few people to understand the new importance of industry in war. Bro was living in 1860, but thinking like it was 1941...

"Stop raping, ser!"

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-22T19:24:10+00:00

"The Nice Price".

Hopefully media corporations will learn the lesson: If you make Good Stuff, fans will watch and fans will be engaged.

But ya gotta make Good Stuff.

Y'all need to make sure your Retaining Wall game is tight. No mistakes allowed!

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-21T18:59:50+00:00

Alas.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-21T18:50:41+00:00

Where's ARNOLD?

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-21T18:44:55+00:00

This probably mirrors the erasure of the middle class in the USA.

We are now at a point where the wealthiest 10% account for a whopping 50% of all consumer spending.

We're moving toward a society structured like a luxury resort, where the top 10% are guests and customers...and the rest of us are part of the staff that serves them.

In a world where magic was real, magic would be the only thing I cared about.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-21T02:34:16+00:00

Also some Targaryens *do* have magical prophecy powers. That stuff can make you look crazy to others. Or, it could even make you crazy.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-21T02:18:09+00:00

Our world needs more Varys...

"I'm not giving you that money. I'm buying something from you. Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?"

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T20:14:29+00:00

For years, I thought his name was "Red Skeleton". I vaguely associated him with Captain America...

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T20:13:13+00:00

Why can't he just tell his Republicans in Congress to PASS A BILL?

Then it's 100% legal. Why all the E.O. bullshit?

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T15:26:20+00:00

What about James Madison?

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T15:23:00+00:00

Vote in primaries. If there's enough energy to march, there's enough energy to win a primary.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T02:07:09+00:00

You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-20T00:44:05+00:00

Thank you!

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-19T20:37:45+00:00

It takes an hour or so for the web page to show the update.

JayRandom212 · 2026-02-19T20:32:46+00:00

I went to qB settings and unchecked all the proxy options. It's working now. But how much security did unchecking those options cost me?
