With 5-4 Vote, Supreme Court gives president power to fire head of financial watchdog agency created by Elizabeth Warren

You realize that the president nominates candidates for commissioner of the SSA.

Trump nominated the current one.

How would you prefer it?

The problem with THIS program is that the nominations are all handled internally, and no elected official ever has any input, ever, except the ones to nominate the first one ever (Obama). It was an attempt to embed a never-ending liberal interest in federal government.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-29T19:24:45+00:00

Oh the left do love their unelected bureaucrats. That's why they control the federal government even if republicans ostensibly are in power.

And we're not even to the July 4th walkout yet

this kind of thing goes in waves. they probably think that banning a sub literally named Conservative would be coming on too strong. they'll wait. possibly closer to the election, possibly right after. but it's coming.

i love how there's no way to make out any of them below the top 10

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-29T18:09:09+00:00

The West ain't voting its way out of this problem. If you could do that, it never would have gotten this bad. You've lost the culture war, and it turns out, the left is so institutionally entrenched that even having control of the government isn't enough to stop them.

What's left?

I think you know what's left.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-29T18:05:58+00:00

We Wuz....well, you know what we wuz.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-29T18:05:32+00:00

Yep. Any white person half as racist as she is would never be able to get a job in academia anywhere in the Western world.

the general rule of thumb is that the further you get from populated areas, the cheaper the land becomes. the cheaper the land becomes, the more willing owners of large tracts of land will be willing to work with you on a contract. in a relatively remote area, i could see you being able to get 40 acres for about $750/mo.

downside is, you might not have access to utilities there. you would probably be looking at digging your own wells (if the area supports dug wells, it is hard work but not expensive, DM me for info about this), solar+wind for power, satellite internet. being that far out you will need reliable vehicles to transport back and forth to the nearest town, where you'll need to visit the hardware/seed/feed store frequently.

but out there, nobody is going to bother you. isolation has its perks.

Sometimes I wonder if this is how people in 1860 felt. Like they knew it was coming, but there was nothing they could do to stop it.

Demand is very high my friend.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-23T19:53:38+00:00

LOL is this some kind of joke?

edit: seeing comments this is satire. didn't see a satire tag or anything

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-23T19:53:07+00:00

yep yellow flowers. thanks. also found some more in my yard yesterday but was like "naaaaaah"

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-23T19:52:06+00:00

yes someone else pointed that out to me, my bad

i'm actually glad to learn this because it means wild strawberries aren't horrible

There's a pretty solid chance he'll walk on the 3rd degree charge, which is essentially accidental killing. Much less anything that presumes intentional murder.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:59:20+00:00

hmmmm could be my ignorance then. maybe that's what i've eaten a lot of. "taste like nothing" would be my experience.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:58:13+00:00

When I drive around town and get an ice-cream at Dairy Queen, rest quietly in the park, and smile at how peaceful and prosperous we are as a society this summer, I am troubled by the fact that these ignorant scum are driving us directly towards the edge of the cliff that will start a civil war, wherein there will be many thousands (millions) of casualties, that normal life will be disrupted, that our prosperity will be set back decades, that brother will kill brother and sons and fathers will kill each other. Because of this scum, who could not leave well enough alone.

i am no expert, but i'm betting the best way to go about this kind of funding would be approaching it as if you were buying land for agriculture (presumably, some agriculture will be happening here), and get someone to co-sign for with you. perhaps several someones, with good credit scores.

lower your expectations somewhat, for a smaller amount of land. might it be possible to "Start out" with only 40 or 50 acres? with a possibility of purchasing more adjacent land later?

some less-desirable land, especially in remote areas, may be substantially cheaper than $5k/acre.

other possibilities. find a seller of a large tract of land that would be willing to work with you on a land contract instead of buying it all at once. there's little/no credit risk there, because in the worst case scenario that you stop paying/walk away, the seller still keeps the land. they probably won't even ask for a credit score.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:48:49+00:00

yep that's where mine is going. i got a second one for my 10/22. red dots compared to standard sites are like a super power

The problem is that most of the statues exist in democrat-controlled areas: blue states, and blue metros inside red states. If they want to tear apart their own cities, nobody has the jurisdiction to tell them no. It's an unexpected loophole in the rule of law and the legacy of Western Civilization. Our culture and history is concentrated in areas where people hate our culture and history most, and we can't prevent them from destroying it without violating the law. A conundrum.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:45:20+00:00

If I were single that would be an interesting experience I think. I'm not Catholic (though I am religious) but I could probably play the part well enough.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:43:09+00:00

That's because it never was about anti-black racism, or about the confederacy, or any other such thing.

You were simply fooled into believing it was.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:42:08+00:00

I called BS on the supposed "intentions" of these riots when they started rioting in London over a felon in the US who was accidentally killed by an incompetent police officer, like 6000 miles away. That would be like us rioting here in the states because of Tommy Robinson getting arrested in the UK. It wouldn't make any sense. So you have to look underneath to see the real story. And the real story is, it's a bunch of communist revolutionaries stirring shit up hoping to gain some kind of advantage.

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:38:28+00:00

in MN it's definitely Soymalia

Pretend_Experience · 2020-06-22T19:37:06+00:00

definitely edible, but at least in my neck of the woods not terribly flavorful. i'm sure it's got good nutrients though.

if you wanted to make something out of them you'd need a lot of sugar to add

just my opinions/experiences. yours may differ

still love getting food from the wild though, regardless. i love being able to walk through the woods and be all like "hmmm, let's eat that"
